Chapter 223 Chapter 223: Who can resist this temptation?

Cheng Shushu nodded with firm eyes.

"Shu'er is willing to do so. Mother, I know where the palace is. I will live a down-to-earth life every day, and I will also guard against others and be wary of others harming me."

Mr. Cheng walked back to his study silently with his hands behind his back.

One level lasts all day.

Mrs. Cheng asked Cheng Yi to go to Prince Zhongyong's Mansion to call Cheng Yurong and Shen Hong over and ask them to persuade Mr. Cheng.

To prevent him from going crazy.

Cheng Yurong and Shen Hong were stunned after learning what happened today.

Unexpectedly, the royal family still targeted the Cheng family.

How can this be good?

In the past few days, Shen Hong and the Cheng family were thinking of ways.

……

Five days later, the marriage decree arrived at Cheng Mansion.

Mr. Cheng accepted the order calmly, with no trace of displeasure on his face.

But he was very unhappy in his heart. He felt that he had betrayed his ancestors, and a hundred years later he would not have the shame to meet his ancestors.

Most of the Cheng family are happy, except Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Chen.

The reason why Shen Hong didn't go to the emperor to persuade him first, and then didn't plead for mercy to revoke the imperial edict, was because he learned the truth about the marriage.

Shen Zhiyuan quietly came to his study on the last night and told him about the love between His Royal Highness and Cheng Shushu.

This made Shen Hong angry.

If Mr. Cheng learns the truth one day, why should he be so angry that he reports it to the Lord of Hell?
Now, Shen Hong has become one of the accomplices in this matter.

But he didn't dare to say a word to his wife.

He also did not allow Shen Zhiyuan to tell Shen Zhiqing's four brothers, Ruan Ruan and Xu Wanrou.

……

The emperor granted Cheng Shushu and His Highness the Crown Prince a marriage, and the news of their marriage in March spread throughout the capital within half a day.

The common people were quite happy. After all, the Cheng family was well-known for their virtues, full of peaches and plums, and philanthropic.

They provide porridge for disaster relief every year, donate money to build bridges and other good deeds.

His Royal Highness the Prince is kind-hearted. If he becomes the emperor, he will definitely be good to the people.

What's more, with the Cheng family and Prince Zhongyong standing by, I believe that the future of Dai Viet will be better and better, and the country will be prosperous and the people will be strong.

Most of the wealthy families are also happy. After all, the Cheng family is kind and has a good reputation and does not argue with others. '

Only a few are unhappy.

I originally thought that Prime Minister Qin had fallen and no one would compete for the position of Crown Princess, but now he was directly parachuted into the Cheng Mansion.

It was really unexpected. They never thought that Chengfu was their competitor.

Especially under the ancestral motto of the Cheng Mansion that daughters of the Cheng family were not allowed to enter the palace as concubines, no one wanted to win the position of crown princess from the Cheng Mansion.

The prince's wedding was scheduled for the end of March, so he was so anxious, as if there was a secret in it.

……

Cheng Yi wrote a letter overnight and asked his men to send it to the northwest and give it to Cheng Shan.

Let him rush back to the capital before mid-March, leaving only one and a half months.

Ruan Ruan was immersed in the atmosphere of cultivation and became more and more addicted.

I beg you to continue selling Zifu. After all, you can easily earn too much merit gold.

Knowing that his eldest cousin was pregnant, Ruan Ruan gave his eldest cousin an intermediate peace charm that he drew.

She was also very happy to learn about Cheng Shushu and Xuan Liyu's wedding in March and planned to give them a big gift.

At the beginning of February, Cheng Mansion was busy preparing Cheng Shushu's dowry.

As a crown princess, the dowry must be ten miles of red makeup and one hundred and eighty cents.

Mrs. Chen filled in her own dowry, but still felt it was not enough, so she went back to her parents' home to find several brothers and a dozen cousins ​​to add more dowry to Cheng Shushu. After all, they can be considered the mother clan of the Crown Princess. In the future, those of them who are uncles and uncles will also be honored by the Crown Princess.

This is the glory of the Chen family.

After more than ten generations of reproduction, a crown princess, the future queen, was finally born.

As uncles, can't they use some money to support this niece?
They were happy and generous.

Each person contributed several thousand to ten thousand taels of silver to support.

Mrs. Chen collected 100,000 silver, and she wanted to wait for Cheng Shan to come back and ask him to provide 100,000 silver.

In addition to the betrothal gift of 300,000 yuan, there is a total dowry of one million taels of silver.

This is the most generous dowry for a crown princess in the history of Dai Viet Kingdom.

When Ruan Ruan's second birthday came, Shen Hong didn't make any big plans. He only invited the old patriarch and the Cheng family to a birthday banquet.

Because the Cheng Mansion and Prince Zhongyong's Mansion have been too eye-catching recently, if they hold a banquet, they will probably make people jealous.

Still a little low-key.

Xuan Liye got a good excuse. Since February, he had been out of the palace every now and then. Whenever he had time, he would go to Prince Zhongyong's Mansion to play with Ruan Ruan.

She was so angry that she hit him on the head every time.

As a result, she could no longer concentrate on her cultivation. She was stuck at the fourth level of Qi Refining and could not move up.

She couldn't ignore him. She was afraid that he would be angry and go to complain to Xuan Liyu and the emperor and empress. What should she do if he took the opportunity to bully Cheng Shushu in the future?
February 13th

Shen Zhiqing returned to the capital at noon with a team of twenty or thirty people in more than a dozen carriages.

Shen Hong's family greeted him at the door early.

As soon as Shen Zhiqing got off the carriage, Ruan Ruan rushed over.

"Second brother, second brother, you are finally back."

She was as happy as a little sparrow flying into Shen Zhiqing's arms, and he hugged her and spun her around a few times.

"Hahaha……"

Shen Hong's family gathered around and smiled happily when they saw the two brothers and sisters having so much fun.

Happiness is so simple, family reunion is enough.

That night, the Cheng family came over for a dinner to give Shen Zhiqing a break.

He brought back countless gifts and distributed them to the whole family and the Cheng family.

Even the Shen clan and the old clan leader, Jiang Mansion, Li Mansion and Mrs. Tan's family all had valuable gifts.

He has always been generous, especially to relatives and friends.

This time he went to the south to open several sugar factories and earned hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Of course, he wanted to buy some things for relatives and friends.

Share the joy of making big money with them.

Shen Zhiqing was very happy to know that his eldest cousin was going to become the Crown Princess and marry His Highness the Crown Prince at the end of next month.

The Cheng family became a relative of the royal family, and Prince Zhongyong's family also benefited greatly.

Who can resist this temptation?
……

February 16

When the day of the examination arrived, Shen Zhiyuan took a few packages and walked into the Gongyuan to participate in the examination.

Ruan Ruan gave him a peace charm that he drew himself, and the food he brought was also cast with a protective spell to prevent anyone from poisoning or the food from spoiling.

Seven days and six nights, this process was very arduous.

Cheng Yurong was so frightened that she couldn't sleep at night and felt like chewing wax.

Shen Hong felt so sad that he took three days off and took her to Zhuangzi in the suburbs to play for a few days.

Xu Wanrou was in the same situation. Seeing how uncomfortable she was, Ruan Ruan stayed with her every day and cast spells on her to let her sleep well.

Just like that, seven days flew by in a blink of an eye.

Shen Hong took his whole family to the gate of Gongyuan to take Shen Zhiyuan home.
