Chapter 44 She Has a Dowry
Chapter 44 She has a dowry
Deep in Prince Ning's Mansion, in a house that could still be occupied by people, Song Shimiao put his hand on his hips and pointed at Zhao Fengnian with the other hand, talking about his "crime".
"You really want to piss people off. If you give me an accurate answer today, will I care about you or not?"
Gu Yu stood aside politely, looking at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. This was not something he could interrupt.
As soon as they entered the room, they saw Prince Ning drinking. He had not seen the pavilion master so angry for a long time.
Maybe it was because Prince Ning ignored the pavilion master that he became even more angry.
The air froze for a moment, and Zhao Fengnian slowly raised his head.
"I can see farther today, and I no longer need to cover my eyes with white gauze in the morning."
When Song Shimiao heard this, he seemed to have forgotten that he was angry with him a second ago, and the pear dimples on his lips were exposed.
"Really!" He jumped in front of Zhao Fengnian in a few steps, lifted his cheek and examined him.
"It's strange, there's no difference. Is it because you're drunk and it affects your mind? Master said that sometimes it happens like this. If a sick person only thinks about getting better quickly, the symptoms will really be relieved."
Zhao Fengnian turned his head away: "Why don't you tell me the truth? Are my eyes going to be like this for the rest of my life?"
Song Shimiao did not reply, but he was a talkative and did not answer such a serious question, which already explained the problem.
He deliberately avoided it, so Zhao Fengnian didn't need to ask anymore. He stood up and faced Guyu: "Manager Xia, if you have anything to do, go to Jingfeng to discuss it. You don't have to be restrained here."
"Okay." Guyu nodded in agreement. Feeling that the atmosphere in the room was not suitable for staying any longer, he said, "I'll go take a look at the front." Then he turned around and closed the door.
Song Shimiao felt a little guilty. With Zhao Fengnian's eyes, he was really not sure that he could return him to his previous state.
If the master were in Kyoto, he would definitely be able to cure it. The medicine Zhao Fengnian drank was missing a few herbs, and only the master could get them.
But the master is used to being careless. Who knows when he will come back. He may not be able to come back in time to attend Zhao Fengnian's wedding.
And nowadays Zhao Fengnian’s eyes are not the biggest problem.
His body's internal wear and tear was too severe, and he had never been able to properly recover from his old and new injuries.
Although he would go to the north to see him every year and a half, Zhao Fengnian probably never tasted the medicine he left for Zhao Fengnian.
He knew why Zhao Fengnian always loved drinking. It was the most convenient and fastest way to relieve pain and numbness.
Zhao Fengnian is still young, but he is already overdrawing his future energy and vitality.
Song Shimiao was very worried that if he was allowed to continue like this, Zhao Fengnian would not live to die.
He was angry and distressed at Zhao Fengnian because no one really cared about him except his brothers.
The world said that King Ning was cold and bloodthirsty, his opponents said that King Ning was violent and cruel, and the Holy One said that King Ning was a good sword.
But no one cares about what kind of hardships he has endured and what kind of sins he has suffered.
No one asked him if he was cold, if he was tired, or if he needed rest because he was injured.
Song Shimiao hoped that Zhao Fengnian could live an ordinary life.
If you like a girl and start a family, even if you are obsessed with a hobby.
Don't think about the North, battlefields, bloodshed, and sacrifices all day long.
But if that were the case, he would no longer be Zhao Fengnian.
After mixing the medicine, I carefully tied the white gauze for Zhao Fengnian.
"Why don't you go to the palace and ask him for some medicinal herbs? The few herbs that are missing are all produced in the clear water and deep sea. They are difficult to find on the market. If they were in the palace, they should be kept."
Zhao Fengnian was silent, and Song Shimiao became angry again.
"Even if you don't ask for medicine, you can ask for some money and come back to me. You won't be ashamed to eat from me all day long. When you get a wife, will you let her eat green fruits with you to satisfy your hunger?"
Zhao Fengnian seemed to be touched and tilted his body: "She has a dowry, so I don't need to support her."
Song Shimiao's mouth twitched, and his hands shaking when packing the medicine box kept shaking. He really wanted to open Zhao Fengnian's brain and take a good look at what was inside.
"You can also say this. That girl from the Prime Minister's family has been really unlucky for eight lifetimes."
Zhao Fengnian was speechless. He had no expectations for this marriage.
For the sake of the North, he could not disobey the order and disrespect it, and he did not want to waste a woman's life.
But everyone is in the game, and the only thing he can do is not to take advantage of her.
After the wedding, he will return to the north. As for the woman, it is up to her whether she wants to stay in Ning Prince's Mansion or want to divorce.
Song Shimiao didn't know that Zhao Fengnian was already thinking about how to get rid of his beloved wife before the marriage was concluded.
Under Huaiyu's gaze, Ruixue lay on the desk and practiced calligraphy.
She always felt like the hair on her neck was rising and falling, as if someone was speaking ill of her behind her back.
Huaiyu didn't feel quite right today. He didn't rush to read poems after coming here.
His face was a little gloomy, and he just stared blankly at her practicing her calligraphy, as if she had something to say but couldn't say it.
Probably Jiang Huai tortured her again yesterday.
Ruixue thought to herself, you'd better not say anything, I don't want to hear the gossip between you and Jiang Huai.
Huaiyu didn't say anything in the end. Before leaving, he took the unfinished collection of poems.
She didn't know how to ask Ruixue for the land deed left by Li Ningshuang.
Stealing? She would never do it. Cheating? Ruixue is not a fool either.
Should she tell her all her difficulties?
After this period of contact, she knew that Ruixue was a kind-hearted child.
If Ruixue knew the cause and effect of the matter, would she take out the land deed and help her?
Huaiyu was a little distracted and almost bumped into the maid waiting to salute her by the roadside.
Next to the servant woman stood an embroiderer, bowing to greet Huaiyu.
The maid stepped forward and introduced her: "Madam, this is Aunt Zhen from Jinxiu Tower. Today I am here to tailor a wedding dress for the eldest lady."
Huaiyu came to her senses, was the day so close? She didn't have much time left.
I have been so busy lately that I actually forgot about such an important thing as my wedding.
I want to ask the embroiderer to sit in the front and ask Ruixue to come over and measure the size.
The servant woman said: "The prime minister said there is no need to bother, just measure it in the eldest lady's courtyard."
Just as Ruixue put down her pen and stretched her body, she saw Huaiyu coming back again.
Ruixue was very cooperative when she learned that the wedding dress was being made for her.
The embroiderer had a sweet mouth and kept praising Ruixue for her good looks and figure. She bluntly said that wearing her wedding dress would surely shock the whole Kyoto on the wedding day.
Ruixue thought to herself, isn't it? She has already shocked the whole Kyoto even before she got married.
No one knows about the marriage between the Prime Minister's daughter and Prince Ning.
It's just that they don't have nice things to say, they are all just waiting to be laughed at.
The embroiderer took the measurements and asked Ruixue what pattern and texture she wanted to embroider on the wedding dress.
Ruixue said without even thinking: "Iris."
The embroiderer looked troubled, and Huaiyu explained: "The flowers are not suitable for embroidering on wedding clothes. They are the favorite things of Bishui people. Let's change them."
