Chapter 441 Shen Yumen is coming
Chapter 441 Shen Yumen is coming (two in one)
Although Lady Shen did not trust other members of the Shen family very much, otherwise she would not have given the Deer-Cutting Knife to Lian Chengbi. Strictly speaking, she would rather give it to an outsider than to her family. If Shen Lang knew about this, he would definitely be uncomfortable.
But Lady Shen wanted it this way. If the Deer-Cutting Knife was given to Lian Chengbi, it would still belong to the Shen family in name, and there would be a chance to get it back in the future. But if it was given to other members of the Shen family, it would be fine if it was just the Deer-Cutting Knife, but if it showed the weakness of the Shen family, then the name of the Shen clan would be lost.
In this era, the main line of the clan is very important. Even if it is only in name, Shen Tianjun and Shen Lang supported an era and made the Suzhou Shen family officially become a Jiangnan family. In Shen Lang's era, if he wanted to, the number one martial arts family in Jiangnan could be easily captured.
Even powerful families like the Divine Sword Villa and the Murong family are not as good as the famous hero Shen Lang. Even the Hua family, which is richest in the world and has influence in politics and business, may acknowledge the title of the number one family, and that is Shen Lang.
But Shen Lang doesn't need this. He can establish his own school wherever he goes. His martial arts and wisdom do not need the support of his family status. If Shen Garden was not his ancestral home, it would be a shame if it was lost. He would not even have brought his uncle's family to Jiangnan. When he was a child, he had the courage to sell his property and travel around the world. After his martial arts became perfect, he no longer cared about these things.
Lady Shen knew what her husband was thinking, and she had the same idea. Although the Jinzhen Shen family was famous, it was far behind the Suzhou Shen family. It was not easy to become the main line, and only a fool would give it up. Even if they were poor and destitute, they were still the main line.
This was recognized by everyone at the beginning. Shen Lang was the decision maker. Things recognized by other branches could not be given up even if Lady Shen died. After death, she would still be the mistress of the Shen family.
However, Lady Shen did not mind her family being on good terms with Shen Yujing. After all, they were of the same ancestry. As for the fact that Shen Yujing was born to a woman, putting that aside, his surname was Shen, and he was the representative of the Hengyang Shen family. In this era, changing one's surname represented family recognition.
Shen Yujing is a martial arts expert, unmatched by the Suzhou Shen family, and he has helped, so it is okay to make friends with him. In fact, if Shen Yumen was not so arrogant and coveted the Ge Lu Knife, and looked down on the Suzhou Shen family, thinking that they were just lucky, the Suzhou Shen family and the Jinling Shen family would also be good.
However, no matter how bad the relationship is, when the Suzhou Shen family is facing life and death, the Jinling Shen family will not sit idly by, and vice versa.
……
"Jun'er, this is your cousin, Shen Yujing from Xia's family. He was the one who saved you from the gangsters yesterday." Even now, Lady Shen has to keep it secret and not let anyone know about the family scandal, even though Shen Qingzhou might have seen Shen Bijun volunteering to save people.
"Yujing has met my cousin." Watching her up close, she is truly a beauty, and I feel sorry for her. Her broken temperament makes people feel distressed. In terms of her appearance, she really has no weaknesses. Although she doesn't have any jewelry on her, she has the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family.
"Cousin, there's no need to be so polite." Shen Bijun looked at Shen Qingzhou. It was he who stopped Xiao Shiyilang from taking her away. He actually had a good physique.
Shen Qingzhou is not big and strong, that is a sign that the Thirteen Guardians' Golden Bell Cover has not been fully mastered. After perfection, his body is much more symmetrical.
However, due to the influence of the horizontal training method, he was much stronger than the average man, but not clumsy. He was only 1.9 meters tall, which really stood out from the crowd in this era when nutrition was not very sufficient.
Moreover, he was full of self-confidence, and with the influence of the real world, his calm and confident temperament made people believe him. He did not tie his hair, which showed his heroic spirit, but it could also be seen that he was over 20 years old.
In fact, there is a ceremony of coming of age for the sons of aristocratic families, but people in the underworld don't pay so much attention to it. At Shen Bijun's age, she should have had many children, not just just got married.
This is also the mutual impact between history and film and television dramas. Although there are children of aristocratic families in the rivers and lakes, they are not as rigorous as those real children of officials.
At this moment, Shen Qingzhou made Shen Bijun feel a little fresh. He was like Xiao Shiyilang, full of mystery, but not as wild as Xiao Shiyilang. He had a different style.
Shen Qingzhou didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise he would be surprised to death. But if you think about it carefully, a woman who loves excitement will know what is exciting in her subconscious even if she doesn't think about it.
"Aunt Feiyun wrote to me saying that my mother was supposed to come to my cousin Bijun's wedding, but my parents have been away for many years and can't come back. Yujing is in charge of household affairs. She has specially prepared a dowry for my mother and the Hengyang Shen family for my cousin Bijun. Please forgive me if there is any inconvenience." Shen Qingzhou took out a gift list in a very literary manner.
There are etiquettes for greeting each other. Now, he represents Shen Xia, so naturally, Shen Bijun stood up to return the greeting. She had really learned it.
"Thank you, Aunt Shen Xia, and thank you, cousin." Shen Bijun took the gift list.
"Please move aside, cousin." Shen Qingzhou said. The gift list cannot be just given to the recipient. The recipient must be told in person to prove that it is not written randomly.
"Please." Shen Bijun also knew the steps, and went to the outside of the courtyard with Shen Taijun. At this moment, dozens of large boxes were placed there, and the boxes and dowries were tied with red silk, which was very festive.
"Hua Ping meets Young Master Shen, Madam Shen, and Miss Shen." Hua Ping was already outside the door. Hua Manlou was a good friend, so Shen Qingzhou didn't have to worry about it at all. When it was time to exchange gifts, Hua Ping came over by himself.
"Shopkeeper Hua." Lady Shen was a little surprised and valued Shen Qingzhou even more. Hua Ping was nothing in the eyes of the aristocratic families, but his identity and status in the Hua family meant something. It was normal. To say something that Lady Shen didn't want to hear, Hua Ping could solve the Shen family's current predicament by relying on his status, but there were some things that could not be spread outside, and there was no need for Hua Ping to help.
"These are 580 rolls of various silks. They are from the Qin, Han, Song, Ming, and other silk shops all over the world.
This is a gold necklace, 235 pieces of jewelry, in addition to the fine products of the great countries in the world, there are also jewelry specially made by the royal family of Xi Kingdom for the princess's wedding, 18 pairs of pearl-inlaid dragon and phoenix red gold hairpins, and 18 pairs of dragon and phoenix red gold bracelets." Hua Ping began to check the gift list.
As soon as he said a word, he came there and showed everyone the gifts. It was just silk, and it was impossible to unfold them one by one, but there was a template with all kinds of fabrics on it. Don't underestimate the ingenuity of the ancients.
The next few hundred pieces of jewelry were a bit scary. Just for these jewelry, seven or eight boxes were specially used. There were interlayers in the boxes, and each layer contained seven or eight pieces of jewelry in different styles.
However, the dowry that He Xiaohui brought from Xi Country and bought for Shen Bijun was indeed very thoughtful. Even with the power of the Hua family, it was impossible to collect all the jewelry for the royal princess' wedding in less than ten days.
Shen Bijun was dazzled by these things. Although she was not a money-loving person, there was no woman who didn't like jewelry. Moreover, the prices of these things were terrifying. Just these jewelry were much more than Lian Chengbi's betrothal gift.
After all, it's the Hua family. Shen Qingzhou finally brought up a matter, and Hua Manlou personally instructed it. The Hua family should try their best to get it done. It's not a difficult task, so they must give them enough face.
"These are clothes for all four seasons, a total of 280 pieces." Shen Qingzhou was surprised when he saw the number of clothes. What the hell is this? Can he wear them all? But think about it, dowry is something a woman needs from birth to death, so it is reasonable.
Shen Bijun was confused. She had never had so many gorgeous clothes since she was a child. After all, the Hua family was the Hua family. Their wealth was beyond the imagination of a martial arts family. And it seemed that there were all kinds of styles. They were not just for the sake of quantity, but they all looked very noble.
"One thousand taels of gold ingots, one hundred and eighty pairs of solid golden pigs, ten thousand taels of silver ingots, and ten thousand strings of copper coins." Shen Qingzhou also accepted the real gold and silver items. In addition, there was the golden pig, which was Shen Bijun's zodiac sign, so it was almost one thousand taels of gold.
The dragon-headed walking stick of Lady Shen was a little unstable. With this money, it seemed that Shen Bijun could not marry Lian Chengbi. How could Shen Yujing be so rich? Looking at the glittering silver and piglets, the white silver, and the heavy copper coins, good.
"Gifts of fruits and vegetables, dried seafood, top-quality seafood, four-season tea, candies and fruits, seventy or thirty loads. Old Madam, Miss Shen, Young Master Shen has asked for the best of these things. Except for the dried seafood, the rest of the food will be prepared by the Hua family's one hundred and seventy shops in Jiangnan and delivered tomorrow. They will be very fresh." Hua Ping said.
This number is also a lot, but compared with gold, silver and jewelry, it is acceptable. It can also be seen that the Hua family attaches great importance to Shen Qingzhou.
"This is the finest camphor tree planted twenty-four years ago." Introducing the two big trees also has a meaning. Twenty-four years ago was the day when Shen Bijun was born.
"This is the finest wine produced only in the desert, a thousand-jin red-blood plum bead. Even the royal family of the Hanhai Kingdom only has a few jars of it." When they arrived in front of a wine jar, Hua Ping was extremely careful.
This wine is a priceless treasure to some people. He believes that the master would never be stingy and only ask for a small jar. This is truly a top-notch wine, the kind that cannot be bought with money.
Of course, to some people, this wine is just wine, but again, if it is worth several thousand taels of gold, people would scramble to get it.
"Two hundred acres of good farmland, one hundred acres of paddy field, three farms, and three shops in the downtown area." These are shops and lands, and they are worth a lot of money. This is Suzhou, and it is a downtown area, so the price cannot be low. Shops are also divided into prosperous shops and ordinary shops.
"The most precious ones are undoubtedly these, a set of jewelry made by top craftsmen that even the nobles in the palace find difficult to collect. There are two top-quality rubies and a pair of pearls." In the middle, there is a small box, and the price inside is the highest.
This is what Shen Qingzhou took out from the treasure. As expected, it is the most precious and very valuable.
"Mr. Shen, Madam Shen, Miss Shen, please." Hua Ping handed over the gift list and introduced them. Then it was Shen Bijun's turn to take a look at it and then put it away.
"This, Yujing, is too precious." Before Shen Bijun could speak, Shen Taijun said.
"My cousin Bijun is getting married, and my mother couldn't come because of something important. Yujing naturally doesn't dare to be too frivolous. The dowry is the most precious thing in the box, so the more valuable it is, the better."
The price is indeed high, and few people can afford such a large sum of money. However, to Shen Qingzhou, it is just a small matter.
Shen Bijun was also a little dizzy. Not to mention the other miscellaneous items, just the gold, silver, ingots, gold pigs and copper coins added up to four thousand taels of gold, equivalent to forty thousand taels of silver.
Not to mention the most precious, she could see the preciousness of the last small box. The gems were so big, the pearls were so bright, they were all top quality. It was a set of jewelry so gorgeous that she was reluctant to wear it and wanted to collect it.
All in all, ten thousand taels of gold and one hundred thousand taels of silver are enough to provide relief for a minor disaster. This is indeed very valuable.
Moreover, ten thousand taels of gold may not be enough to stop it. It should be impossible to stop it. Some things are truly priceless.
"Cousin, there is no need to refuse. Yujing is quite wealthy. My mother will be happy when she finds out." Shen Qingzhou also showed off his wealth. Although he used things from the treasure, he was not afraid of being found out by others.
His income from escorting goods has always been high. He has a legitimate business, unlike those poor people who travel around the country.
Not to mention other things, just escorting He Xiaohui back and forth this time would cost at least 50,000 taels of silver, and this is just the basic amount. He doesn't believe that He Xiaohui can overcome her nature. She loves buying things, and this time it is a business. She knows her own strength and will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to make a big one. He doesn't care about money, he just needs the system reward.
"Cousin, is it so profitable to run an escort agency?" Shen Bijun didn't want to be vulgar, but she just found out that Lian Chengbi only offered one thousand taels of gold as a betrothal gift, and there should be more in the future. But now she only knew one thousand taels, and the Shen family didn't have much money. It was too shocking that Shen Qingzhou directly offered ten thousand taels of gold, so she asked more directly.
"Yujing is quite trusted by all the shopkeepers, and the business is pretty good." Shen Qingzhou said.
[The escort mission is started, escort Shen Xia's dowry to Wuqi Villa]
Inexplicably, the escort mission appeared. Shen Qingzhou was a little speechless. If you had done this earlier, I would have bought it from Qixia Town. It would be more difficult, and the system rewards would be more. If you send it to me now, it's only a dozen miles away. What can go wrong? Well, Xiaoyao Hou, hurry up and do something.
Shen Qingzhou was also quite puzzled. The system directly treated the dowry as a task. But coming back to the question, whether he could find loopholes or not, this was actually a task he created himself.
But after thinking about it, it seems not possible. The invitation was legitimate and he came to attend Shen Bijun's wedding. There was indeed such a thing. If he caused trouble himself, he might not have the mission.
"Goodbye, Madam." Madam Shen and Shen Bijun left. As for the dowry, it was placed in the courtyard. Shen Qingzhou wanted to go directly to the banquet, so it seemed that he had to go with them, but it was also his duty.
……
Day two.
"Shen Yumen of the Shen family in Jinling has come to pay her respects at his mansion. Where is Lady Shen?" Shen Qingzhou was drinking tea and reading a storybook. He was a protagonist wearing a red scarf. Qin Ge had a strong influence. Although his martial arts skills were not high, he was quite an idol.
Just now, when I was reading the story, someone knocked on the door, but the way he did it was a bit disrespectful. He asked the lady to go out and greet her. Shen Yumen was really arrogant.
He had heard that Shen Yumen had actually arrived a few days ago, but had not come to the Shen residence. He had been having fun in Happy Forest for a few days, and was getting married tomorrow. He only came this afternoon, which was not completely indiscreet, but definitely not like a relative.
However, the internal strength of Shen Yumen was very high, and the news spread to Shen Garden. Shen Qingzhou thought about it and decided not to join in the fun, as they would meet each other eventually.
Outside the gate, Shen Feiyun looked at the young man in front of him, who reeked of alcohol and rouge. If he didn't know he couldn't beat him, he really wanted to teach him a lesson.
Although this man is arrogant, his martial arts skills are top-notch in the world and he still deserves respect.
