In front of Mr. Feng, no matter how reluctant he was, he would not do such rude behavior. He could only remain indifferent and try to extinguish Shaojun's cousin's unbearable "enthusiasm".
Feng Shaojun felt very happy when he saw Shen You struggling.
After Shen You and Shen Jia said hello, they left first.
Shen Jia stared at the brocade box held in Chi Xiao's hand and followed it to Zhichuntang.
Anyway, with his temper, he will never leave until he understands it now.
Shen You glanced at it and signaled Chi Xiao to step back first. Then, he opened the brocade box again, took out the miserable green purse where the wild duck was scurrying around, and opened the purse.
Sure enough, there was a stack of paper inside.
However, it's not a piece of writing paper, and it doesn't have any love poems written on it.
It turned out to be a thick stack of banknotes.
Shen You: "..."
Shen Jia's eyes widened and she blurted out: "Oh my God! Shaojun's cousin is really a rich man! I give you so many banknotes! Wait, take out the banknotes quickly and take a look. What is the value of each banknote?" How much silver?"
Shen You frowned and put away his purse again without even looking at it.
This gift must be returned.
As expected, Shen Jia grew up with Shen You since childhood. From this simple action, he could tell that Shen You was not in a good mood. She laughed in a low voice: "Don't worry too much. From my point of view, Shaojun's cousin doesn't know what you like, so I'll just give you a banknote and let you buy something you like."
"I have no intention of hitting you with money and making you bend your knees!"
As he spoke, he sighed again: "How come such a good thing hasn't happened to me?"
The Shen family is considered to be a family of mid-level military generals. With the family property left by their ancestors, it is no problem to support the four boys. However, Shen Mao is not good at running a business, and Mrs. Feng is not a shrewd and powerful mistress like that. She can live a comfortable life, but it is not a problem. How generous.
Both Shen Lin and Shen Mo were married and had their own salaries.
When they arrived at Shen You and Shen Jia's place, Da Feng gave them twenty taels of silver every month. Twenty taels of silver was enough for an ordinary family to spend half a year.
However, if you want to rely on this money to buy horses and swords, it is far from enough.
Shen Jia is a delicious and fun person. When he ran out of money, he came to Shen You to "borrow" money. Shen You rarely used money, and he couldn't stand Shen Jia's "borrowing" money twice a month.
Therefore, the two brothers are a pair of paupers.
Therefore, when Shen Jia saw a pile of banknotes, her eyes almost shone.
Shen You glanced at Shen Jia expressionlessly.
The meaning expressed in those eyes was very clear.
Shen Jia touched his nose and closed his mouth knowingly.
If you don't shut up, you'll be beaten.
…
Mrs. Feng took her nieces and wrote dozens of invitations and asked the stewards to send them out one by one.
Such happy events are different from weddings and funerals. There is no need to invite ordinary colleagues, only relatives and close friends with Shen Mao are invited.
Therefore, preparing six seats is enough. At most, prepare two more seats.
Both the Feng Mansion and Kangjun Prince's Mansion will send messages to them.
The Qiu family also sent a message.
With Jiang's temper, he may not be willing to come. However, Shen You won the first prize in the Jinyi Competition and won the favor of His Highness King Yan. Such a happy event, no matter what, the Qiu family had to be notified.
I have been busy for most of the day.
Then, Mrs. Feng called the kitchen steward over and gave instructions to prepare for the wedding banquet the day after. The kitchen purchase and the arrangements for the maids and servants to serve were all very complicated.
Feng Shaolan was raised carefully by the Zhou family. She learned how to manage a family and manage affairs from the Zhou family, and she helped out in a decent manner.
As for Feng Shaojun, he usually puts on his clothes, reaches for food and opens his mouth, and never cares about these things. When he says he is accompanying Mr. Feng, he means "accompanying" in the literal sense.
Drink tea, eat snacks, and gossip for a day.
This day passed really briskly and worry-free.
After dinner, the three sisters returned to the courtyard together. Feng Shaolan had been busy all day and took a rest early. Feng Shaoju was also tired and returned to the house.
Only Feng Shaojun was full of energy: "Jixiang, follow me outside the courtyard gate."
Ji Xiang only obeyed his master's orders, never talked too much, and never asked "Why do you have to go out for a walk so late?", he simply complied.
The master and the servant left the yard and started wandering around.
"Miss, if you turn around again, you will have to go out the second door." Ji Xiang reminded in a low voice.
The young men of the Shen family live in the outer courtyard, and the female family members live in the inner house. They are separated by a hanging flower door.
Feng Shaojun smiled slowly: "Yes, I know."
Jixiang didn't ask any more questions and stepped forward to ask the woman guarding the door to open the door.
As soon as I walked out of the Weeping Flower Gate and walked under a weeping willow, I saw a slender young man walking towards me.
It's Mr. Shen, Fourth Master, here!
What a coincidence!
Ji Xiang hurriedly tugged at his master's sleeves and whispered: "Miss, this is the Fourth Young Master."
Feng Shaojun raised the corners of his mouth and smiled like a cat that had stolen fish: "Cousin You must be here to find me."
Ji Xiang was very considerate and immediately stepped back a few meters away to show off his master... No, he was guarding from a distance. The young man behind Shen You, Chi Xiao, was guarding on the other side of the road.
"Cousin You," under the bright moonlight, Shaojun's cousin said with a smile on her lips and affectionately, "Are you here to find me?"
Shen You nodded.
Cousin Shaojun's eyes were watery and her voice was soft: "I knew that Cousin You would come to see me. I came here specifically to be the prime minister. Sure enough, Cousin You came."
Unfortunately, Shen You didn't understand the charm at all. He took out a green purse from his sleeve and presented it to Feng Shaojun: "I can't accept such a generous gift. Please take it back."
Feng Shaojun blinked with an innocent look on his face: "There are only five thousand-tael silver notes in it. What kind of gift is that?"
Shen You, whose total private money does not exceed fifty taels: "..."
He thought he had several hundred taels in his purse.
It turned out to be five thousand taels!
You can buy thirty long swords carefully tempered by the best swordsmiths in Daqi! You can buy twenty sets of fine soft armor! You can buy ten good horses from Dawan!
It turns out that poverty cannot be transferred and wealth cannot be transferred. Adultery is all a lie.
The hand he stretched out suddenly wasn't so straight...it wasn't right.
After a moment of shaking, Shen You regained his composure and said, "No reward for no merit."
Feng Shaojun said softly: "These five thousand taels are nothing to me. Cousin You will go to Prince Yan's Mansion as an errand in a few days, and he will have to take care of everything. How can he be short of money?"
Then, he pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Otherwise, I'll just lend it to you. Just wait until you get your salary and pay it back to me."
The soldiers of the Prince of Yan's Mansion were given thirty taels of silver every month. During the New Year and festivals, they were also given double silver rewards. All in all, it was less than five hundred taels a year.
How long will it take for him to pay back the five thousand taels?
Shen You frowned: "No need. I can't afford it."
If you don’t have money to repay, then use people to repay the debt!
Feng Shaojun was secretly amused and said softly: "Actually, I have something I want to ask cousin You for help with."
