Blessed

Chapter 110
The Taifu is already a first-rank official, and Shen Xian was once a student of the Taifu, but he did not take the imperial examination, but became a general.The Grand Tutor liked Shen Xian very much, and felt that he was intelligent, so it was a pity that he did not follow the path of a civil servant.However, the Shen family has been military generals for generations, and the Tai Tuo knew that he could not force himself to come. Even if Shen Xian became a military officer, the two families still had contacts.

Knowing that Shen Xian has someone in mind and wants to come to propose marriage, the Taifu immediately agreed to ask his wife to help him go to Jiang's house to propose marriage.

It is a very honorable thing for Mrs. Taifu to propose a marriage, and the Jiang family took great pleasure in entertaining her.

Except for the members of the third room, the rest of the Jiang family did not know that Shen Xian came to ask for marriage. Today, when Mrs. Taifu explained her intentions, she frightened the old lady and the old man. The two of them couldn't recover for a long time. The wife is not very surprised.

Since Yuzhu agreed, the Mu family had no reason to refuse, and agreed to the marriage.

The rest of the Jiang family didn't know about Yuzhu's parents wanting to promise her to Xie Che at the beginning, and now they are very happy to see Mrs. Taifu come to help Shen Xian propose marriage.Mrs. Taifu was kept for lunch at Jiang's house, and the marriage was formalized.

The next day, the news of the engagement of Shen and Jiang's family spread in the capital. Concubine Mu Gui in the palace turned cold when she heard about this, and she threw down a set of plum blossom Linghan pastel tea set made inside, and the anger in her heart still couldn't be suppressed .

But what can be done, the two are engaged, it is impossible for her to ask the queen mother, even if she is the queen mother, she would not dare to break up other people's marriage at will.

It is conceivable that the third prince was furious, but there was nothing he could do. They dared to frame the Jiang family secretly, but they did not dare to do anything to the Shen family. Shen Xian is now the commander of Jin Yiwei, and Shen Guogong is the general of the town. , even the emperor has three points of scruples.

All of a sudden, the Third Prince and Concubine Mu Gui also had no choice.

Regardless of the situation in the palace, the Jiang family and the Shen family were both beaming. Shen Xian had already written to Shen Guogong about wanting to marry Jiaojiao. The eldest son is a childhood sweetheart and has a very good relationship with his daughter. There is no reason to disagree, so naturally he happily agreed.

It's just that Princess Jiahe of the Duke's Mansion was shocked when she heard about this, and the maid called Shen Xian away.

Shen Xian went to Princess Jiahe's room and saw her sitting on the grand teacher's chair, frowning slightly, and said softly when he saw him, "Come and sit down, but I'm thirsty, I'll ask the servant girl to bring some tea and fruits in." .”

Shen Xian raised his eyebrows lightly, and said, "No need, I'll just stand here, if mother has anything to ask me, you might as well just tell me."

Jiahe shrank in her heart. After so many years, this son has never been close to her, and she has stayed in the capital for many years. At first, she didn't have much affection for her daughter, but after getting along for several years, she gradually found that kind of affection. She also became intimate, only this son.

"Ah Xian, it's like this." Jiahe said, "I'm your mother anyway, so I thought you should tell me about your marriage first." She used to have no objection to that charming girl from the Jiang family , but ever since she knew that Xie Che was that man's son, she was a little afraid of Xie Che, and she didn't even want to have too much contact with the Jiang family who adopted Xie Che.

Shen Xian said, "I have already informed my father about the marriage between Jiaojiao and I, and my father agreed to this marriage."

Jiahe thought that he would be under the same roof with Jiang Yuzhu in the future, and he was not happy from the bottom of his heart. He forgot his son's indifference for a while, and complained, "The parents ordered the matchmaker to say that other people's children are married with their mothers. I will also meet the daughters of several families for you, all of them are better than the Jiang family, you..."

"Enough!" Shen Xian said indifferently, "The marriage has been settled, and my father has agreed, there is no room for maneuver in this matter. I have been in love with Jiao Jiao since I was a child. If anyone dares to block my marriage, don't blame me for turning my face and denying others." .”

There was no emotion on his face, and the coldness in those eyes made Jiahe shudder, as if all the things she had kept in her heart had been seen through by his cold eyes.Jiahe didn't know the bottom of his heart, felt flustered, stretched out his hand to caress his chest, and didn't dare to look into Shen Xian's eyes again, "Here, I, I'm just talking, since you like Jiang's girl, I don't say anything, your marriage is over. Make up your mind, just tell me if you need anything.”

Shen Xian nodded slightly, "Thank you mother, since I have nothing else to do, I will leave first."

Looking at Shen Xian's leaving figure, Jiahe sighed slightly.

In the next half month, we have already set the date of asking for names, Najib, and Nazheng, and the date of marriage is set on the first day of December, which is one month later.

The Mu family originally planned to start the spring in the coming year, but the Shen family wanted to get married earlier, after all, Shen Xian is not young, after Mu's consideration, and because he was afraid that something might happen to the third prince, he agreed.Yuzhu's dowry has been prepared since she was a child, and one month is enough to get married.

The engagement of Jiang and Chen's family has been discussed in the capital for half a month, and at the same time, the murderer of Miss Liu's murder was also arrested and brought to justice.This flower picker was also very courageous. After committing such a thing, he continued to stay in the capital and harmed a girl from another family. Jin Yiwei found a clue and caught him within three days. He confessed to the crime committed.

Jiang Xun was also completely innocent, but because of this incident, Mrs. Mu made a calculation for Jiang Xun, and planned to move his marriage to the beginning of spring, which happened to be the same as Jiao Jiao and Jiang Po's.

The Jiang family and the Shen family are busy these days, but Yuzhu has become the most leisurely one. Apart from trying on the wedding dress a few times and taking it to be revised, the other Mu families do not allow her to worry about it. They only invited two nuns to come to the mansion. Teach Yuzhu some aspects of family management, accounting and worldly skills.Teaching for one hour a day, the rest of the time is very leisurely.

One day Yuzhu was leaning on her to embroider a gown. Mother said that she was going to get married. Although she didn't need her to be too outstanding, she still had to be good at it.

Baiji sat on a small twig beside her and read the items on the list, "Girl, there is one list left. On it is a pair of copper enamel Taiping elephant table lamps, a pair of red sandalwood carved foreign glass large insert screens, and a pair of red sandalwood feet. , two pieces of mica, a pair of rhinoceros horns, a plate of pearls, two pieces of Hetian white jade, two pieces of bear bile, two pieces of Ganoderma lucidum, two pieces of ginseng, a set of twenty emerald heads and noodles in a red lacquer carved dragon and phoenix box, a set of pearl heads, and gold silk red jadeite heads One set..." After reading the list, Bletilla striata felt a little thirsty.

These are all betrothal gifts from the Shen family. There are two full lists, and Bai Ji read them for a long time. Several maids wondered if Mr. Shen brought all the property of the Shen family to give the girl a betrothal gift. These things are probably worth a lot. There are 10 taels of silver.

Bai Shao sighed beside him, "Master Shen is so kind to the girl."

Yuzhu raised her head in a daze, looking at the two long dowry lists, she pursed the corners of her lower lip, remembering that the day when the Shen family gave the dowry was a sensation in the entire capital, these dowry plus her dowry, really might be a red makeup.

After dinner in the evening, Mrs. Mu stayed in the Yuzhu room to accompany her to rest, looking at her beautiful face like jade, Mrs. Mu said softly, "Mother's Jiaojiao will grow up and get married in a blink of an eye. In the future, Dad Even your mother and I can't be with you anymore. Your father and I can tell that Shizi Shen likes you very much, but you also have to remember that feelings are mutual. Even if you can't adapt to this status now, you have to treat Shizi Shen better. , you are a husband and wife, you can't be bored in your heart if you have anything, you must know how to communicate."

Yuzhu nodded, "Mom, I know everything." She knew everything, but she always felt uncomfortable.

Mrs. Mu can't see her daughter's state, so she can only spend more time with her these few days. Since she is going to be married and a woman, she has to adapt to this status.

"By the way, you have to go and talk to the empress dowager personally about the engagement between you and Shizi Shen."

Yuzhu said, "Of course I want it, then I will set off early tomorrow morning to find the empress dowager."

Early the next morning, Yuzhu took a carriage to the Imperial Temple to find the Empress Dowager, and she naturally had to speak to the Empress Dowager personally about her engagement.The carriage drove to the outside of the arena, Yuzhu was holding a cup of hot tea and drinking, but the coachman outside suddenly stopped the car, Licorice opened the curtain to look at it, turned back and said to Yuzhu, "Girl, this is Mrs. Shen's carriage."

Is it Shen Xian?why is he hereJust as he was wondering, Shen Xian's voice came from outside the carriage, "Jiaojiao, can I get on the carriage and tell you."

How could Yuzhu refuse, and when she answered, she saw Shen Xian reaching out to open the curtain and stepping over her legs to get on the carriage. He glanced at Licorice, "Go and wait in the carriage outside."

Licorice was a little worried, and glanced at Yuzhu, Yuzhu waved her hand, Licorice then got out of the carriage and went to the carriage behind.

Inside the carriage, Yu Zhu and Shen Xian sat facing each other, Yu Zhu subconsciously straightened her clothes, "Brother Shen, are you passing by here?"

"No." Shen Xian said, "I came to see you specially."

The two hadn't seen each other for more than a month since the last time they met at Jiang's house. Knowing that she was going to the Imperial Temple today, firstly they were afraid that something might happen on the way, and secondly, they really missed her, so they brought the guards out to look for her.

After all, the two have known each other for many years, and Yuzhu has no barriers against him in her heart. She was a little restrained because of the engagement before, but now she is a little more relaxed after hearing him say this, "My mother can say, let Brother Shen and I get married before we get married. Not to meet."

Shen Xian didn't believe this, "I'll take a rest today and accompany you to the imperial temple to meet the concubine. Speaking of which, I still want to call the concubine the concubine. I also met the concubine a few times when I was young."

Shen Xian's grandmother and the concubine were both concubines of the late emperor, so naturally they had some connections. When Shen Xian went to the palace to visit his grandmother when he was a child, he would always see the concubine a few times. The relationship between the concubine and his grandmother was good.
