Chapter 294 The Dowry
Listening to Liu Shi's words, Ma Zhongyi looked around, all the ministers stretched their necks looking here, Ma Zhongyi nodded

"Then I'll go to the Empress Dowager's palace now, why don't Master Liu come with me too." Ma Zhongyi said to Liu Shi, thinking that if he died, he couldn't go alone, and he had to take Liu Shi with him anyway. He became the empress dowager's side. The "Red Man" can't help it, but it's dangerous for him to go, and he has to bring Liu Shi who instigated him to go there anyway.

Liu Shi readily agreed, glanced at the ministers who were still waiting for the results and said
"Master Ma said that I'd better go to the Empress Dowager's place and deal with the matter after I get instructions, so I went there first."

When the ministers heard Liu Shi's words, their thoughts became complicated again, and they looked at Ma Zhongyi in the wrong way. Could it be that the queen mother is behind the scenes, in order to let the crown prince take over?But why didn't you choose this time when the conditions were sufficient?

Ma Zhongyi coughed twice, and glared at Liu Shi, who said that on purpose,
"Master Liu, let's go there."

Liu Shi nodded slightly, not caring about Ma Zhongyi, so he walked out. Ma Zhongyi knew what ministers thought of him now, but he couldn't help it. Everyone in the Manchu Dynasty knew that he had won the empress dowager's attention. He now No matter whether they stand on the queen mother's side or not, they will be cast aside by them, and it will be dark to walk left and right.

After the two left, the other ministers retreated to the outside of the palace one after another, and began to kneel on the ground to mourn for the emperor. The whole palace was also put on white silk as quickly as possible, removing all festive decorations.When the emperor passed away, he was so sad that no meat was allowed for half a month, and no fancy clothes were allowed for one month.

When Lian Xiyu returned to the other courtyard, she saw Shu Xia coming to welcome her. Shu Xia's face was full of exhaustion and worry, as if she hadn't slept all night.

"Girl, are you alright?" Shu Xia hurried over and asked Lian Xiyu.

Lian Xiyu nodded with a faint smile
"It's okay, don't worry." When Lian Xiyu said this, there was a smile on her face, her whole body seemed to be much brighter, and there was a slight spring in the corners of her eyes.

Shu Xia has never been a human being, so naturally she doesn't know what the spring spirit in the corners of Lian Xiyu's eyes and brows represents, but Lian Xiyu came back safely and looked in a good mood, so she knew that she must have successfully met Wei Jingheng, and Wei Jingheng's condition is not bad.

"Girl, Linping went out to check the news, but he hasn't returned yet, should I send someone to call him back?" Shu Xia said while following Lian Xiyu inside.

Lian Xiyu shook his head slightly

"Let him check it out. I just need to know a lot of things. I can't ask Jingheng about these things." For example, about the Empress Dowager, why did the emperor abandon her back then, why did she have such a heavy resentment, and even His own son is also treated as an enemy.

Shu Xia nodded in agreement, but Lian Xiyu suddenly said:
"Shu Xia, go and get the account books of all the Zhuangzi's shops under my name, I want to see how much dowry I have." Lian Xiyu said to Shu Xia.

"Dowry?" Shu Xia was puzzled, but suddenly remembered that Lian Xiyu hadn't returned all night last night, and she was smiling all over her face this morning.
"Girl, you are getting married!" Shu Xia said loudly, her face was full of excitement.

Seeing Shu Xia's happy look, Lian Xiyu also laughed and nodded slightly. Seeing Lian Xiyu like this, Shu Xia laughed loudly, full of comfort.
"You have finally waited for this day." Shu Xia's voice was a little choked up. After following Lian Xiyu for so many years, she is like her own relatives.

Even Xiyu was full of emotion. After stumbled and stumbled for so long, she hoped that the wedding would be the end, but judging from the current situation, it seemed impossible. The situation in the Southern Dynasty was imminent, and Xi Yun and the Xiongnu were watching.

"Girl, please wait, Shu Xia will go get the account book for you now." Sensing Lian Xiyu's slight worry, Shu Xia hurriedly said with a smile.

Lian Xiyu smiled knowingly, stepped forward and entered the room, Shu Xia also brought the ledger over as quickly as possible,

"Girl, let Shu Xia check for you, you can go and have a rest." Shu Xia said to Lian Xiyu.

Lian Xiyu looked at the heavy dark circles under her eyes, and smiled

"Go down and rest, or you won't be able to hold on when I really need you."

Lian Xiyu's words directly made Shu Xia swallow the words of rejection, with moved eyes
"Thank you girl."

Lian Xiyu smiled slightly, and after Shu Xia went out, she began to look through the account book, but she didn't know if she didn't read it. After reading this, she really wanted to appreciate Shu Xia's business skills. The amount here is definitely higher than hers. At that time, the capital had to be multiplied several times, although it was only a short time before letting her do it, but such a sum can only show that Shu Xia does have some ability and talent in business.

Lian Xiyu looked at these accounts, if she wanted to calculate, she could calculate the next small town and let her be the lord of Anle City, but this can only be thought about, after all, the world here pays attention to things like the king's land, Even if she bought a city, it was still managed by the emperor above.

Lian Xiyu nestled in the room all afternoon, and only came out of the room at sunset. Shu Xia had already prepared dinner and waited for Lian Xiyu.

Lian Xiyu handed a booklet to Shu Xia
"This is your dowry." She prepared four dowries in total, one for Shu Xia, one for Xu'er, one for Xinghua, and one for Yang Fei, but for Yang Fei, she hoped that she would not By becoming herself, she could get out of the hatred earlier, after all, if she killed Yang Jingtian, she would completely destroy herself.

Shu Xia opened the account, her eyes nearly popped out
"Girl, this is too much. A servant girl is just a servant, so she shouldn't be treated so highly." Shu Xia looked at Lian Xiyudao. There are [-] acres of fertile land, ten Zhuangzi, and three shops. It's something that even the young ladies can't get out.

Lian Xiyu looked at Shu Xia gently
"You deserve it." She could clearly see Shu Xia's effort and dedication.

Shu Xia's eyes were red again, and her throat was also a little sore.

Lian Xiyu patted Shu Xia on the shoulder

"Liu Kui, I will find it for you, don't worry."

Hearing Lian Xiyu's comforting words, Shu Xia couldn't bear it anymore, lowered her head and began to sob softly.

Lian Xiyu shook her head with a smile. What she did was the simplest thing, the simplest thing morally, but Shu Xia would be moved and grateful. Maybe it depends on the system of this era. There is a kind of thinking that everyone is inferior in their bones. Even if there are those who strive to strive for the top, it is just greed and vanity at work. Generations of secular belittling and exclusion have left a mark of inferiority on their hearts since childhood.

Lian Xiyu no longer comforted Shu Xia, fearing that she would cry even harder, but told her to go down to eat, and went there by herself, she still remembered that Wei Jingheng said that he would come back to find her tonight.
