These words rolled around on the tip of my tongue a few times and then I swallowed them back.
Feng Shaojun looked at Cui Yuanhan's surprised expression, smiled lightly, and said nothing more.
During this period of time, she was waiting to be married in Cui's house, and her adoptive father, Eunuch Yang, did not send any more news or send any more errands to her.
It seemed that what she had guessed before was correct.
This is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means.
Let her get married, let her stay away from danger, get married and have children in peace.
Does Shen You think so too?
She didn't know and didn't want to think about it.
Such a peaceful and comfortable life is indeed very good. But for her who is used to changing her identity and wandering around in the dark night, it is really boring.
Do you feel your idle bones aching after two months of doing nothing?
Ji Xiang walked in with a smile, holding a brocade box in his hand: "Miss, the shopkeeper of Hongzhuang Pavilion personally sent the new rouge."
Feng Shaojun's brows moved slightly and his eyes lit up.
It really comes to whatever you want.
Cui Yuanhan glanced at Feng Shaojun and said no more questions knowingly.
Feng Shaojun held the rouge box and returned to the boudoir with a smile on his face.
He closed the door and opened the brocade box with familiarity.
The brocade box contains the new rouge from Hongzhuang Pavilion, as well as 20,000 taels of silver notes and the title deed of a farm.
In addition, there is a letter from Eunuch Yang.
Feng Shaojun quickly opened the letter, and after reading it, the smile at the corner of his mouth faded.
This letter is normal.
First, he expressed his concern, and then said that the banknote and land deed were sent as a gift to her. Finally, he told her to wait for the marriage with peace of mind, and not to worry about errands. The prince had already moved into the East Palace, and because of his righteous status, no one could shake the prince's position. Come to think of it, , There will be no need to use too many spies and secret guards in the future.
Feng Shaojun's vague premonition seemed to be verified after reading this letter.
I suddenly felt a little depressed.
Feng Shaojun placed the brocade box on the dressing table and remained silent for a long time.
"Miss," after a long time, a familiar and auspicious voice sounded outside the door: "Lunch is ready."
Feng Shaojun calmed down and stood up to open the door.
The moment the door opened, Feng Shaojun's face seemed to change, with a smile on his face: "Did grandma send someone to urge me to come over?"
With Jixiang's eyesight, he didn't notice anything wrong with Feng Shaojun's mood at all, so he nodded happily.
…
There are only three masters in Cui's house, grandfather and grandson, and they eat three meals a day in Xu's yard.
Feng Shaojun calmed down and smiled as usual. Even Xu did not notice that Feng Shaojun was in a strange mood.
Cui Yuanhan smiled casually and asked: "Who gave rouge to my cousin?"
What rouge?
Could it be that the prince has another mission?
We are about to get married, so it wouldn’t be appropriate to be sent out on a business trip!
Mrs. Xu's heart sank slightly and she looked at Feng Shaojun.
Feng Shaojun's tone was brisk and he responded with a smile: "It's a new product sent by Hongzhuang Pavilion. Let me see how fresh and lively it is."
Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Hongzhuang Pavilion is very famous for its rouge and gouache. I will send someone to Hongzhuang Pavilion to buy some more for you and put them in the dowry list."
When a girl gets married, she has to prepare a dowry, which is very cumbersome. Everything from farmhouse, shop, house furniture, to needlework, paper, everything needs to be prepared properly.
Rouge gouache is also indispensable. I have already bought two boxes before, so I will buy two more boxes to make everything go smoothly.
Mrs. Xu was in high spirits, but Feng Shaojun didn't want to dampen her grandmother's interest: "Okay, I will listen to my grandmother."
…
In the blink of an eye, it’s the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The prince and princess moved into the East Palace two years ago. There were more people in the palace, so it was naturally more lively than in previous years.
As the prince's personal guard, Shen You is now on duty in the East Palace, and the rules are becoming more and more strict. The original one-day break coincides with the Lantern Festival. There is a grand palace banquet in the palace, and all the East Palace guards stay in the palace. .
Shen Jia was a little disappointed. After getting off his errand, he sneaked into Shen You's room and babbled: "I originally thought about accompanying sister Xiaoxue to watch the lanterns on the Lantern Festival. It's better now that I'm staying in the palace. Can't go anywhere."
Shen You felt goosebumps all over his body at that sound.
In fact, he also missed his cousin Shaojun.
Not seeing each other for one day is like three autumns. This month's holiday has been cancelled, and next month it will be two full months.
This heart-wrenching yearning and yearning is really unbearable.
It's just that he has a reserved temperament and doesn't show it.
Shen Jia looked at the full moon in melancholy and recited some sour poems. "My heart is like the bright moon," "The moon is full and people are not," and so on.
Shen You's ears hurt from being disturbed: "Third brother, if you wait a little more than a month, you will marry your third sister-in-law. I will read these poems to my third sister-in-law when you get married."
"That's a good idea!" Shen Jia said happily, not even thinking that she was trying to chase him away.
The main reason is that he doesn't want to leave yet, and he still has a lot to say to his dear fourth brother!
"Fourth brother, after I get married, you will be the one to marry me." Shen Jia rarely said seriously: "Getting married is a major event in your life. You have very little contact with the Qiu family and have nothing to do with Mrs. Qiu. But you have to marry a wife. My mother is present."
At the mention of his mother Jiang, Shen You's handsome face darkened.
Shen Jia was used to seeing Shen You's cold face and was not afraid at all. She continued: "In fact, I have wanted to tell you about this matter for a long time. Even for the sake of cousin Shaojun, you should endure it."
"When a new daughter-in-law comes in and doesn't offer tea to her mother-in-law, she will be criticized in the future."
In this world, men are tolerant, but women are always particularly harsh.
When a new daughter-in-law comes in, she hasn’t served tea to her mother-in-law, so it won’t sound good.
Shen You was silent for a moment and whispered: "Next time I have a holiday, I will go to Qiu's house."
This is right!
For the sake of my wife, I can't stand being depressed.
Shen Jia sighed, grinned and asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
Shen You pursed his thin lips: "No, I'll go by myself."
The days flew by and it was more than half a month.
On the day of rest, Shen You went to Qiu's house.
Mrs. Qiu was now very affectionate towards Shen You and immediately called Qiu Rou and Qiu Jie: "Rou'er Jie'er, come and meet your brother."
Qiu Rou and Qiu Jie are one year older, and each of them has grown a lot taller. Especially Qiu Rou, who is twelve years old this year, and looks a bit like a girl. She is not tall, her skin is slightly dark, and her appearance... can't be mentioned.
Qiu Jie also has nothing to do with handsomeness, and can barely be praised as a handsome guy.
The two siblings, who had been taught repeatedly by their grandmother, saluted together and called "eldest brother" obediently.
Shen You said expressionlessly: "I am the fourth brother of the Shen family, so you just call me fourth brother Shen."
This does not mean to recognize siblings at all.
Mrs. Qiu's smile was a little stiff, and she coughed awkwardly: "You can call me Fourth Brother Shen, or you can call me Brother Shen."
Jiang was also a little unhappy and said calmly: "Silang came here today, what's the matter?"
Shen You raised his eyes and looked at Jiang: "Mrs. Qiu, I have something I want to talk to you alone."
