Although Xiangfu decided to follow me, as beautiful as she is, if she really follows me as an ordinary maid, it would be a waste of resources. I don’t want to be struck by lightning, so I have to find a suitable place for her.
.
Regardless of the Shen family or the Murong family, my future must be related to getting married and having children, but I will definitely not be willing to confine myself in the backyard. If I want to do something, I must have conditions, either money or power. For
For a woman, power is no longer a realistic thing, and money is the only way to go. This is also a plan I had before, but due to lack of suitable candidates, I have shelved it until now.
Although life in the princess's mansion is simple, it is not actually that poor. My father's generation has been fighting abroad for many years and has conquered countless cities. Naturally, he has collected countless money, which is kept in a secret room where his marksmanship skills are kept. There are a lot of land deeds and house deeds, but there are no banknotes.
And the name on the house deed was that of a domestic slave, which made it impossible for the royal family to find out.
If you just sell one or two farms, you can get a lot of money. You can do any business you want, but I don't know anything about prices and business operations in this world. If I open a shop rashly, it will only end up going bankrupt, so I can't do it.
He didn't directly tell Xiangfu that he would worry about making money after the marriage issue was resolved.
Not long after I returned home, Qiu Ju came to report that it was Shen Nanfeng who wanted to see me. I raised my lips and smiled. I didn't want to settle accounts with him. He came to the door first, moved to the flower hall, and ordered someone to invite him in.
"The general has met the princess." Shen Nanfeng came in and knelt down on one knee to salute. I smiled and said, "Since Mr. Shen is visiting in casual clothes, he is a guest and there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony."
Shen Nanfeng is indeed good-looking. He is dressed in a brocade robe that makes him even taller and graceful. He is swinging a white jade folding fan in his hand. He does not look like a general with military power at all, but like a man walking in the misty rain city in the south of the Yangtze River.
The frail scholar who came out had only a pair of slightly upward smiling eyes, adding a bit of cynicism to his frailty.
Not bothering to beat around the bush with him, he went straight to the point and said, "Master Shen is here now, but to get back Miss Xiangfu?"
Shen Nanfeng nodded, without any embarrassment at all, and replied: "Exactly, I spent fifteen thousand taels to buy Xiangfu girl because I want to take her as my concubine. The banquet has been prepared in the house, and the gongs, drums and firecrackers are also ready.
, please also ask the princess to hand over the Xiangfu girl to me so that she can return to the house and pay homage."
In front of me, the future wife of the palace, he openly said that he wanted to take a concubine. This was really a shameless thing. Although I didn't have any affection for him, but being challenged on my authority like this, I couldn't help but feel angry. I fiercely
He slapped his hands on the table and said angrily: "Since the emperor granted marriage to you and me, then I am the wife you are marrying. Without my permission, you take a concubine. How can the Shen family's tutor be like this?"
Shen Nanfeng said disapprovingly: "Princess, please don't get excited. You and I have not paid homage to each other. There is only a marriage contract and no actual relationship between husband and wife. Therefore, even if I take a concubine, the princess has no right to interfere."
Conspiracy, all of this is a conspiracy, he thought he was sure that I would go to Xiangsi Tower to join in the fun, so he deliberately paid for the auction, and then brought Xiang Fu into the house, so as to give me power and tell me that although I am the princess
, but still can't control him as a husband, it's best to stay in the house honestly from now on.
I suppressed my murderous anger, spread my hands, and said with a helpless smile: "I'm really sorry. I just returned the body deed to Xiangfu girl, and she immediately threw it into the charcoal brazier. Now I am Handing over Xiangfu girl, without her body deed, Mr. Shen will be robbing a common girl. If she is reported to the government, it will be a serious crime of beheading."
Afraid that he wouldn't believe me, I rang the bell to call Chunzhu and said, "Go and ask Miss Xiangfu to come over."
Soon Xiangfu walked in in a gorgeous outfit. The gorgeous outfit was naturally mine, and on her head was a new set of gold hair and facial hair that I got a few days ago. Her whole person was separated from the previous elegance, and there was something that people couldn't ignore. She is very noble, and this girl Chunzhu is very considerate. She took care of everything without my instructions.
"I have met the princess sister." Xiangfu came in and blessed me slightly, then turned to salute Shen Nanfeng: "Mr. Shen is well."
Shen Nanfeng said in surprise: "Sister Princess?"
"Yes." Xiangfu nodded with a smile, walked over with graceful steps, and sat on the chair next to me, with a smug expression on his face: "The princess of the Nu family, Princess Meng, has already married her sister in the Cheng family ancestral hall. Jie Jinlan."
"Sister Xiangfu is as beautiful as a flower, versatile, and has a rare gentle and elegant personality. Jinyue is truly lucky to have such a sister. Don't worry, sister, as long as she is still alive, there will be no one in the world. I dare to bully you." I smiled and patted Xiangfu's shoulder, pointing at Shen Nanfeng every time I spoke.
Shen Nanfeng's face turned blue and white, white and blue again. Obviously, this turn of events was not what he expected. After a while, he said sarcastically: "The princess comes from a family and has the title of the emperor, but she ignores the etiquette, justice and shame. With a person with such a background, If such lowly people become sisters, if word spreads about it, it will definitely make people laugh out loud, and it will bring disgrace to my Shen family."
"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows and hummed: "What's wrong with being of low birth? If you don't steal, rob, kill, or set fire, and rely on your ability to make a living, it's better than those aristocratic children who are ignorant and rely on their parents to protect them. Besides, Sister Xiangfu I just played and danced at Xiangsilou and did not receive guests, so why not marry her? When it comes to the reputation of the Shen family, everyone says that Shen Shangshu is an upright man. The Shen family is also a strict family, but I don’t know how to give birth to Shen Shangshu. A son like this, the Young Master, who had just been given the marriage to Princess Jinyue by the Emperor, went to Goulan to bid for it, and also wanted to take her as a concubine. Looking at the aristocratic families in the capital, there is really no second son. It is really a shame. .”
Having said this, I suddenly had an idea. A few days ago, I was worried about how to refuse this marriage offer. Isn't this a great opportunity now? So I kept silent and said no more. Shen Nanfeng didn't have the body contract in his hand. , seeing that there was no hope of returning to Xiangfu, he said a few more wordy words and left.
As soon as he left, I went back to the room. Xiangfu was good at makeup, so I asked her to help me put on a miserable look. Then I got on the carriage and went straight to the Kunning Palace where the Queen lived. After getting off the carriage Weeping all the way in, she threw herself in front of the queen and howled: "Queen, Jinyue is too shameless to see anyone. You have to make the decision for me. I don't want to marry Shen Nanfeng. I would rather cut my hair and become a girl." Don’t marry him.”
