On February 26th, Mrs. Shen Er took her whole family back to Shen's Mansion in the morning.

Originally, the Shen family did not plan to go back so early. Shen Zhengqing also discussed with Lu Xiange to live there until the Qingming Festival and wait for his second brother's term to be over before going back.

Who knows, just yesterday, someone from the Zhenguo Government Office sent a message.

Today, February 26th, the Duke of Zhenguo invited Princess Qing to come to propose marriage. The Duke of Zhenguo wanted to marry Shen Zhengqing, the daughter of the Shen family, as the eldest concubine of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Mrs. Shen Er originally thought that this matter was unlikely to succeed, but unexpectedly she was so happy that she fell from the sky.

This Tang Jinming was a good son-in-law in the eyes of his mother-in-law in Beijing, and Mrs. Shen was no exception.

Lu Shenge and the Shen brothers had more in mind. If Mrs. Zhen Guo could agree to marry the Shen family, the Queen Mother's handwriting should be involved.

But why did Zhen Guogong and Tang Jinming agree to this marriage?

However, if Shen Zhengqing can marry into the Zhenguo Palace, no matter what happens to the Shen family in the future, the character of the Tang family will protect Shen Zhengqing's safety.

This marriage is indeed a good thing.

The marriage between the Zhenguo Palace and the Shen family was settled quickly. On February 26th, a matchmaker came to the door and had a chat with Mrs. Shen. Mrs. Shen readily agreed to the marriage.

The town government sent three auspicious days calculated by Si Tianjian to the Shen family to choose, namely October 18th, twelfth lunar month 16th, and February 10th of the following year.

Finally, the Shen family discussed it and decided on the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Dong, the second wife, is due in June. By the twelfth lunar month, the baby will be five or six months old, and it is close to the New Year. By then, Shen Zhenghe, the elder brother, will be able to come back in time to see his sister off, and the whole family will be reunited to celebrate the New Year.

Shen Zhengqing is about to get married, so there are a lot of things that need to be prepared at home.

Although Mrs. Shen Er has been preparing Shen Zhengqing's dowry all these years, there are always a lot of things that are inconvenient to prepare early. Now that Shen Zhengqing is marrying into the Zhenguo Duke's palace and becoming the eldest concubine, the dowry is naturally larger than the original one. You need to plan more carefully.

In the palace, the empress got the news and sent some rare treasures, calligraphy and paintings by famous people, saying that they were specially given to Shen Zhengqing in her dowry. When Shen Zhengqing got married, she prepared some extra treasures. Makeup stuff.

Lu Xiangge even sent three carriages of things to the Shen Mansion. The first carriage contained a complete set of headdresses, unique gold and silver jewelry, precious silks and satins, etc. The second two carriages carried There are more than a dozen pieces of fine huanghuali wood, said to be for my cousin to use for making a bed, but there are not enough for her to have.

This yellow pear wood is indeed a good thing. It is usually collected slowly after the family has a daughter. However, the Shen family has only been home for a few years, has not a deep foundation, and is not rich in money. Not to mention that the Shen family does not have so many huanghuali trees at one time. Mu, even if you have enough money, it is still difficult to buy such neat dozen avocado pears.

Even after the King of Qin got the news, he sent Eunuch Cheng to deliver a farm outside the capital, with more than 200 acres of fertile land, plus a fairly small farm.

These were sent by relatives to be included in Shen Zhengqing's dowry, and were not counted as additional dowry.

On the eve of Shen Zhengqing's wedding, the Queen, the King of Qin, or Lu Shege would come over to add makeup to Shen Zhengqing.

At that time, the makeup additions may not be as generous as they are now, but they were just for face, more or less just a meaning, and what you really got was the benefits. Whether it was the Shen family or the empress in the palace, the Qin King in the Qin Palace, including Lu Shege, Most of them don't care about face.

Because of Shen Zhengqing's engagement, the empress in the palace thought of the nanny who was sent to Lu Zhai to teach Lu Xiangge the rules.

"Let Xiang Ge come into the palace and show me how he is learning the rules."

It was a beautiful day with clear winds and clear clouds. The people in the palace arrived at Lu's house first. They heard that Lu Sheige lived in Yiyuan, but they didn't come back at all, so they hurried to Yiyuan again.

By the time we arrived at Yiyuan, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and Lu Xiangge was still sleeping in the bedroom, hugging the quilt.

"You mean, the princess hasn't gotten up yet?" Aunt Chi couldn't believe what she heard.

"Yes, Princess, I was a little late reading last night, so I got up late today." The person who spoke was Wan Zhao, the maid that Mrs. Shen Er sent to Lu Sheige.

"Oh, really?" Aunt Chi twisted her face, with an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, "Does the princess often have such reverses day and night, or does it happen occasionally."

"Slave... I don't know." Wan Zhao stuttered and replied bravely, "This slave came from Shen's Mansion and has just served His Highness the Princess."

In fact, she and several other maids have been here for a few days. However, she cannot say that the princess has a bad habit of staying in bed.

Aunt Chi: "Okay, since the princess is still sleeping, let's wait."

She did not continue to ask. What the princess did was the responsibility of her nanny. She was just following the queen's order to invite the princess into the palace, and there was no need to offend anyone.

That’s what grandma said, but Wan Zhao doesn’t dare to really make people wait.

The empress in the palace is waiting to summon the princess. If you ask the nanny to wait, you are not asking the empress to wait.

Wan Zhao ordered tea to be served, and winked at the little maid standing by. When the little maid retreated smartly, she reluctantly felt relieved.

"You said the Queen sent someone to take me into the palace?" Lu Xiangge was still a little confused when he was woken up by Qingkong.

"Yes, Princess, please get up quickly. The nuns in the palace are still waiting." Qingkong was worried, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. However, before she woke up the Princess, someone had already prepared hot water. Water scarf.

Fan Lu was woken up in a daze and had to comb her hair and change clothes. By the time she finished her work and entered the palace, it was already lunch time.

"Why are you here?" Queen Shen waved to Lu Shengge with a loving look on her face, "Singe, come here, let Auntie see if she has grown taller again."

"Aunt, I'm not a child anymore. I probably won't grow taller." Lu Shege followed the instructions and walked over. A maid had already brought a brocade stool and placed it under the Queen's head.

"Nonsense."

Empress Shen smiled and held Lu Shege's hand, "It will take at least a few more years to grow, but you are tall enough now, but you are still a little thin, so you need to eat more."

Lu Xiangge raised his hand and pulled the tender flesh of his cheeks, and asked vaguely: "Aunt, look, this is called baby fat. I'm not thin, I'm still a little fat."

Queen Shen was amused by her and laughed, and patted her arm gently: "Hurry up and let go, your little face is turning red."

After Lu Xiangge sat down beside her, Empress Shen continued to ask, "How are you doing with Nanny Wu that I brought to you?"

Lu Xiangge hesitated for a moment, she hadn't even seen Nanny Wu's face, how could she know what she was like!

Seeing that Lu Xiangge was silent, Empress Shen thought she didn't like to learn the rules, so she deliberately said: "Don't bully Grandma Wu because she has a good temper and doesn't learn the rules well."

Lu Xiuge pouted: "How could I bully Grandma Wu?"

Now, Nanny Wu was ordered by the Queen to teach her the rules. She was afraid that she would not be able to do it in time, so how could she dare to bully her.
