In fact, Shilang Feng had no intention of paying a dowry.
Feng Lun passed into the second room and inherited the family business. After marrying the Cui family, the Cui family brought a very generous dowry. After that, Feng Shaojun grew up in the Cui family, and the Xu family did not know how many good things they received.
These are all Feng Shaojun's dowry. As Mrs. Feng said, it is enough for Feng Shaojun to eat and drink for several lifetimes. There are so many granddaughters in the Feng family, and no one's dowry is as rich as Feng Shaojun's.
However, things are not what they used to be.
Shen You was a popular person around the prince, and the Cui family also surrendered to the prince. The Feng family had to maintain a good marriage relationship with the Cui family. To win over Shen You, their grandson-in-law, the father-in-law had to get a share of the dowry.
Shilang Feng patiently explained the reason to Mrs. Feng: "...Young Jun grew up in the Cui family and was not very close to us. Now that he is getting married, we, as grandparents, must manage the marriage in a decent manner. It will be easier to communicate with you in the future."
In the final analysis, I just saw that Shen You was getting rich and wanted to take advantage of it!
Mrs. Feng endured her sullenness and agreed.
However, Mrs. Feng did not expect that not only Cui Yuanhan but also the Xu family would come to the capital to send Feng Shaojun "back to the capital" this time.
The group of people rode several carriages and went to Cui's house to settle down.
In full view of everyone, "Feng Shaojun" got off the carriage.
No one noticed, but an unremarkable maid in Cui's house came out with everyone and held "Feng Shaojun"'s arm.
"Feng Shaojun" trembled slightly and looked at each other with the maid, tears almost coming out.
Then, the maid helped "Feng Shaojun" to go to the boudoir to settle down.
As soon as he closed the door, "Feng Shaojun" choked up: "Miss!"
It is an auspicious sound.
In order to cover up Feng Shaojun's whereabouts, Jixiang kept pretending to be Feng Shaojun after returning to Pingjiang Mansion. With Madam Hu around, Jixiang's appearance was lifelike, and he rarely went out to meet people, and he never showed any flaws.
"Jixiang," the person pretending to be a maid was none other than Feng Shaojun. She held Jixiang's hand with mixed and joyful emotions: "Thank you for your hard work over the past year."
Ji Xiang wiped his tears with his sleeves: "I stay in the boudoir every day, with fine clothes and fine food, good food and good sleep, and I am not miserable at all. But the young lady is alone in the capital, and there is no one to take care of her. I have no one to take care of me day and night. I miss you, today I finally met the young lady."
Mother Zheng on the side also had red eyes: "I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally I am looking forward to meeting the young lady again."
Feng Shaojun felt sour and hugged Mother Zheng again.
The three masters and servants reunited after a long absence, and they were all a little excited.
Mother Zheng reminded softly: "Miss, please change your clothes quickly and go see the old lady and your cousin!"
Just now at the main entrance, Mrs. Xu knew that her granddaughter was right in front of her, but she didn't show any signs of strangeness. She didn't know how hard it was to endure it.
Feng Shaojun nodded, quickly wiped off the disguise medicine on his face, changed into a bright and exquisite dress, and styled his hair again.
Jixiang was also busy changing back into his original clothes.
When Mother Zheng was choosing jewelry for Feng Shaojun, her mistress whispered: "Mother Zheng, please give me this jade hairpin!"
Mother Zheng responded, opened the long and narrow brocade box in front of the dressing mirror, took out the shiny jade hairpin, and inserted it into her black hair. She is as beautiful as jade and is indescribably beautiful.
"This jade hairpin is really a rare treasure." Zheng's mother admired sincerely.
Feng Shaojun looked at himself in the mirror, pursed his lips and smiled: "This was given to me by cousin You on the day I got my haircut."
Mother Zheng showed a knowing smile.
Feng Shaojun has lived a comfortable life since he was a child, customizing at least two sets of jewelry every season. After saving for several years, he has an unknown amount of jewelry. However, how can it be the same as the one given by his sweetheart?
No wonder the lady likes it so much and wants to wear it today.
After packing up, Feng Shaojun immediately went to see his grandmother.
…
"Grandma," Feng Shaojun knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Xu: "My granddaughter is unfilial, which makes my grandma worried."
Mrs. Xu's eyes turned red and she hurriedly helped Feng Shaojun up: "Girl, what are you doing with grandma like this? Get up quickly."
Feng Shaojun insisted on kowtowing three times before getting up.
The last time the grandfather and grandson met was more than a year ago. After a brief meeting, they parted again. At this time, their eyes met, and their emotions were surging.
Mrs. Xu burst into tears and her voice choked with sobs: "Shaojun, you have lost weight."
Feng Shaojun's eyes were originally red, but when he heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Where have I lost weight? Grandma, take a closer look."
Working as an internal servant in Prince Qin's Mansion, although there are no delicacies, the daily meals are sufficient and I can always feel full.
In the past half month, she had been working as an errand beside the prince. She looked at Shen You every day and was in a happy mood. She ate with Shen You from time to time and her appetite was very good.
This kind of her has nothing to do with the sallow complexion and thin skin, right?
However, in the eyes of the elders, if the younger generation is alone, he will definitely not have enough food and clothing to keep warm.
Mrs. Xu said stubbornly: "You just lost weight."
Feng Shaojun smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I've lost weight. Everything grandma said is right."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to wipe away Mrs. Xu's tears. Mrs. Xu hugged Feng Shaojun into her arms: "From now on, grandma will guard you until you get married."
Feng Shaojun hummed and snuggled into his grandmother's warm and familiar embrace.
For more than a year, although the grandfather and grandson have not met each other, they have continued to exchange private letters.
Feng Shaojun didn't tell Xu what he was doing, and Xu never asked.
Now that they had met, Mrs. Xu still didn't ask, and just said happily: "I received your letter and knew that you planned to get married to Shen You as soon as possible, and I was really happy."
Once a woman gets married, she must take care of her husband and raise her children. She has no time to do those dangerous things and will never do them again!
She does not ask her granddaughter to be powerful and capable, she only hopes that Feng Shaojun will marry a good man and live a safe life.
Feng Shaojun couldn't bear to tell the truth, and laughed along with Xu's words: "Cousin You is anxious to marry me, but I can't get rid of him, so I have to agree."
Mrs. Xu smiled and glanced at Feng Shaojun: "Shen You is the only one who is anxious, aren't you the least bit anxious? I have liked him since my last life, and only in this life have I truly fallen in love with him. Why don't you put him in a bowl quickly and eat it in your mouth?" That’s how we feel at ease.”
Feng Shaojun: "..."
If you see through it, don’t say it!
Feng Shaojun was embarrassed for a rare moment.
Mrs. Xu felt funny in her heart. She reached out and touched Feng Shaojun's hair. Her voice was full of kindness: "Silly girl, what's so embarrassing about this."
"You can't say these words to outsiders. Now it's just grandma and you, you can say whatever you want."
The enthusiasm on Feng Shaojun's face subsided a little, and he said softly: "Grandma, I always feel that life now is a bit erratic and unreal. He wants to marry me as soon as possible, and I also want to marry him as soon as possible."
Perhaps, only by officially getting married can the happiness of being together be truly realized, with peace of mind and solidity.
