Chapter 69 Dowry

On the third day after the imperial edict arrived, the betrothal gift arrived. It was paved with bricks and tiles. The betrothal gift alone included a hundred taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver, not to mention the silks, satins, and jade treasures that were sent to the country in boxes and boxes. Government luck.

Zhong Yuan, who was still a little unhappy at first, couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear when he saw these betrothal gifts.

What made Ye Zhen most satisfied was the still alive goose.

So he couldn't help but said: "It seems that King Xuan has good intentions, and I can't judge people based on their appearance."

Shen Xian glanced at her mother, then her eyes fell on the wild geese, and then she lowered her head shyly.

During their grand ceremony, if there are wild geese in the betrothal gift, it will be enough to show that the man cherishes the woman, and it will bring great honor to the woman's family.

Firstly, the wild goose is a rare thing and not easy to get. If it is shot down, it proves that the man is strong and capable of protecting people; secondly, the wild goose has only one partner in his life, which means loyalty and growing old together.

After a while, the carriage slowly stopped at the door of the mansion. Shi Ling walked out, stood up straight and dressed more energetically than before. He was still expressionless, staring straight at Shen Xian.

When Shen Xian saw the teeth marks on his cheek, her heart trembled and she quickly lowered her head.

She asked Xiang Nong, but she had no memory of biting Shi Ling that day and being seen drunk by him.

Brother is right, maybe he married me just to get revenge!

"Oh, His Highness Prince Xuan."

Zhong Yuan wanted to salute, but Shi Ling helped him up and said: "Master, there is no need to be polite. You and I will be a family from now on, and you are still my elder."

If he hadn't been in front of other people, Zhongyuan would have burst into laughter.

Shen Xian is right. Now that Ling has become his son-in-law, he still has to give him some thin noodles!

It happened to be lunch time, and Ye Zhen said politely: "Your Majesty, why don't you come to the mansion to have dinner together? We just want to discuss your marriage with my daughter."

Shi Ling did not answer immediately, but looked at Shen Xian.

Shen Xian looked at it and thought there was something on her face. She was about to touch her face when she heard Shi Ling say: "Do you want me to come in?"

Shen Xian: "!?"

What does it have to do with her!

She didn't think Shi Ling was asking her, but she wanted her parents to think she was a shrew!

Sure enough, the next moment, Ye Zhen asked: "Ruan Ruan, is it possible that you still don't agree?"

"I don't have it, mother." He turned to look at Shi Ling: "Of course the prince can come in for dinner, why do you need to ask me?"

Shi Ling pursed her lips to hold back a smile: "I'm afraid you won't be happy."

If she doesn't like it, won't he go in?

Besides, how could she not be happy...

Shen Yuanhe coughed lightly, turned around and ordered the housekeeper to prepare meals, and asked people to move all the betrothal gifts into the warehouse. Shen Yuan also quickly pulled his "good son-in-law" into the house.

At the dinner table, Shen Xian was sitting between Ye Zhen and Shen Yuanhe. Directly opposite him was Shi Ling, who had been laughing since he sat down.

But no one at this table had ever seen such an amiable Prince Xuan, and all the food they ate was a bit unpalatable. During the dinner, Ling even served Shen Xian some food.

Said: "I'm too thin, I need to gain weight."

Shen Xian trembled.

what does it mean?

Does it mean that she is too thin and cannot withstand his future revenge?

But Zhong Yuan's face was full of joy. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that his daughter was a good charioteer. How could Ling still dare to show off in front of him in the future?

Ye Zhen put down her chopsticks and said softly: "This important matter of marriage cannot be taken carelessly. It's just that my Ruan Ruan was engaged to be engaged once before. Now that I am engaged to be engaged to you, the prince, I don't care too much about some trivial matters..."

"lady."

Before Ye Zhen finished speaking, Shi Ling suddenly sat upright and looked over: "No matter how many times Shen Xian has been engaged, to me, she is my future wife. I don't want to let her settle. I should give her what I want." I will give it to everyone, and I will find a way to give it to others if they don’t have it.”

After a pause, his eyes moved to the somewhat dull Shen Xian, and he whispered softly: "Three books and six etiquettes, four betrothals of hardware, eight sedans, ten miles of red makeup, twelve pages of posters, and a bright matchmaker marrying her, this is what she deserves. "

Shen Xian felt that her face was about to burn, but looking at such gentle Shi Ling, she was reluctant to move away.

There was a guess in my mind, that Shi Ling didn't care about her lying to him anymore?

Are you willing to be friends with her again?

But she couldn't ask now, so she could only look at Shi Ling bit by bit with her eyes, trying to find the answer from his expression.

"Your Majesty has such a heart, and I, as a mother, feel relieved. So what does Your Majesty mean by making another engagement?"

Shi Ling retracted his eyes: "Yes, the wedding should not be rushed, otherwise it will be too hasty. Prepare slowly until she is satisfied. I can afford to wait."

Shen Xian still couldn't hold back her smile, she lowered her head and curled her lips shyly.

Although she didn't know why Shi Ling's attitude suddenly changed, Shen Xian was very happy, as if someone who was about to fall off the cliff was suddenly pulled up and warm clothes and food were prepared for her.

Until Shi Ling was about to leave, the two of them didn't say a few words. Shen Xian was still a little disappointed, but when she thought that the two were about to get engaged, she suddenly became happy.

"Ruan Ruan, please send the prince off."

Ye Zhen seemed to have read through her daughter's thoughts.

The latter immediately pursed his lips and nodded with a smile, got up and followed Shi Ling out of the hall.

It's just that the two of them remained silent, not knowing what to say.

Shen Yao originally wanted to wait at the door of the house, thinking it would be good to have a few words with Shi Ling, but when he looked up, he found that his second sister was also beside him, and immediately turned around and left.

Shi Ling saw her and immediately frowned.

Shen Xian thought that he didn't know Shen Yao and immediately said: "That is my third sister, she is a bit shy. Although she is not as good as me in playing, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is also a rare opponent in Kyoto City."

Shi Ling laughed at her for not forgetting to boast when she praised others, but seriously reminded her: "Don't worry too much about your sister. Even sisters cannot be of one heart and one mind, let alone you."

Shen Xian frowned.

"Does the prince think there is something wrong with A Yao?"

Shi Ling stopped and looked at her and thought for a while, but decided to tell her.

Said: "On my birthday, she came to the palace."

Shen Xian's eyelashes trembled a few times.

Why else would Shen Yao go to Prince Xuan's Mansion besides looking for Shi Ling?

She rolled her eyes and said without giving up: "I was sick because of you in those days. Ayao saw it and felt sorry for me. It's okay to go to you, right?"

Shi Ling: "She never mentioned you at all."

Shen Xian was stunned.

"You are too unguarded against people. Be smarter."

Shen Xian said harshly: "At that time, I wanted to get something else because of you."

Shi Ling chuckled: "My fault?"

Shen Xian understood and Shi Ling was no longer angry, so she stopped being submissive and raised her head: "It's not my fault anyway."

"What about this?"

Shi Ling pointed to the faint teeth marks on his face.

In fact, according to the various ointments in his house, an injury of this degree could be healed in a day, but he was unwilling.

Shen Xian blushed and lowered her head, muttering: "I...I was drunk at that time, and I didn't mean it."

"If it's not intentional, then it means you intend to take revenge?"

Shen Xian blushed with embarrassment and gave Shi Ling a flirtatious look. The next moment, she heard Shi Ling chuckle twice, approached her and whispered, "Happy birthday."

Shen Xian felt like a box was stuffed in her hand.

He didn't forget her birthday.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Ling said: "The noodles you cook are very unpalatable. Don't cook anymore."

Shen Xian: "..."

small theater:

Shen Xian: If you like it or not, get out! (Rough version of Ruan)

Shi Ling: Do you think I'm afraid that you'll be tired from cooking? Of course, it's also partly because it doesn't taste good.

Shen Yuanhe: The good-looking sister-in-law has a mouth.

Shi Ying: We are already engaged. When can I get engaged?
