After the imperial edict of marriage was issued, everyone in the uncle's house began to busy preparing a dowry for Shi Fuxin.
Shi Fuyin was worried that her sister would be looked down upon after marrying into the palace, so she selected many valuable items from the Anguo Duke's warehouse and transported them to the Shi family to add to Shi Fuxin's makeup.
"Sister, do you have any objection to my brother-in-law if you give me so many things?"
Shi Fuyin smiled and said, "Just take it with peace of mind. I have discussed this with your brother-in-law, and he is quite supportive."
Hearing this, Shi Fuxin was no longer polite. Although she was not short of money, there were some things that she couldn't buy even with money, and she didn't have time to collect them.
Shi Fuxin asked An Ran to put the things away. She turned around and saw her sister looking at her worriedly: "Sister, what's wrong with you?" Thinking of the Empress Dowager leaving her sister and brother-in-law behind on the Dragon Boat Festival, she immediately asked, "But Mrs.
The Empress Dowager has objections to my marriage to Chu Yao. Is this making things difficult for you?"
Shi Fuyin shook her head and pulled her sister to sit down: "As long as Duke Anguo's palace doesn't get involved in the fight for the direct descendants, the Empress Dowager will not interfere."
"Just."
Shi Fuxin: "Just what?"
Shi Fuyin looked worried: "The Empress Dowager told me some things about Prince Rong's Palace, which made me feel very worried." She reached out and stroked her sister's forehead, "Marrying into the Prince's Palace, I'm afraid your life will be miserable.
It won’t be easy.”
Shi Fuxin laughed: "It doesn't matter who has a hard time. Your sister and I are not a coward who can be bullied."
Seeing her sister's careless and disapproving look, Shi Fuyin became even more sad: "Marrying into your husband's family and staying in your mother's family are two completely different lives."
Shi Fuxin stretched out her index finger and shook it: "No, no, my life will not change drastically due to changes in the environment. Even if there are some differences, it will be on my own initiative."
As he said that, he smiled and took Shi Fuyin's hand, "Sister, keep your heart in your stomach. I didn't marry just to fight with my husband's family."
"After I marry Chu Yao, with Chu Yao in charge, preparations will begin for Hongyanxiao to open stores in various provincial capitals. There are a lot of things going on, and I am too busy to handle them, so I am too lazy to talk to the people in the palace.
What?"
"If there are really ignorant people, I have plenty of ways to deal with them."
Shi Fuxin looked at Shi Funin with a smile: "Sister, do you think I just picked up Chu Yao's hydrangeas casually?"
Shi Fuyin glanced at her sister: "I know you value Chu Yao's appearance, so I'm not surprised if you pick up the hydrangeas."
There was a black line on Shi Fuxin's head: "Sister, in your heart, am I just a lecher?"
Shi Fuyin responded with a look of "Isn't it?"
Shi Fuxin didn’t want to talk anymore.
"Sister, let me tell you the truth. Although my marriage is a bit anxious because of that bastard, the prince, I still have screening criteria."
"Chu Yao's physical conditions are actually in line with my requirements for a husband. If he cannot meet my standards, no matter how good-looking he is, I will not accept his hydrangea."
Shi Fuyin didn't want her sister to take it lightly, so she still told her: "In short, after marrying into the prince's palace, you still have to control your temper."
Shi Fuxin: "I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. As long as they don't offend me, I will naturally get along with them on friendly terms."
Amidst the busy preparations for the dowry, June came.
The sixth day of June is the birthday of Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao. This year, the two of them turned seventeen.
On this day, Chu Yao visited the gate of Wuchang Bo Mansion for the first time as his future uncle.
In the past three months since Chu Yao took over the charge of the Supervision Department, the sharp methods and case-handling abilities he has shown have shocked many people, and they said that they had been mistaken before.
The eldest, second and third masters of the Shi family who were of the same generation as Shi Fuxin were all older than Chu Yao, but in front of Chu Yao, the three of them were stunned and did not dare to tell the story of their uncle. Only Shi Dinghao dared to confront Chu Yao.
A few jokes.
"Girl, this is from my uncle."
An Ran entered the room holding a jade-carved pomegranate bonsai.
When Nanny Leng saw An Ran coming in with a pomegranate bonsai in her arms, her girl's eyes were fixed on it. There was a tenderness in her eyes that she had never seen before. She knew that this gift from Mr. Yao San was better than all the things that Mr. Fan Xiaohou had given.
, to be more in line with her girl’s wishes.
Receiving gifts certainly makes people happy, but how long this happiness lasts depends on whether the gift is delivered to the other person's heart.
Before, everyone thought that Mr. Fan Xiaohou's diligent gifting of things to the girl was a sign of his respect for the girl, but this respect did not enter the girl's heart.
Because the gift didn't reach the girl's heart, but Mr. Fan Xiaohou saw it and thought it was good, so he bought it casually, without considering whether the girl liked it. There was some concern for the girl, but not much. p>
But Mr. Yao San
Pomegranate means many children and good fortune; her girl’s surname is Shiliu, and outsiders call her Shiliu girl.
The Shiliu pomegranate has both meaning and shows importance. If she were a girl, she would like this gift more.
Chu Yao was busy with things and was about to leave after lunch. Before leaving, Shi Dinghao took him to the Chuihua Gate and met Shi Fuxin.
"I like the gift you gave me very much. Thank you very much."
Chu Yao was actually a little surprised when he saw that Shi Fuxin came to him just to express her gratitude: "It's just a jade bonsai I picked at random. You don't need to make a special trip."
Shi Fuxin blinked and looked straight at Chu Yao: "Really you just picked it randomly?" She looked very concerned.
Seeing Shi Fuxin's eyes filled with her own figure, Chu Yao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and quickly looked away without saying that he had carved the bonsai himself.
When Shi Fuxin saw it, she added, "I would be happier if you specially selected your pomegranate bonsai."
Accustomed to getting along with Shi Fuxin in a business-like manner, Chu Yao was suddenly faced with Shi Fuxin's unreserved expression of emotion. The target was still herself. Chu Yao didn't know how to respond. In order to cover up his embarrassment: "I still have something to do. I really want to
Gone."
Seeing Chu Yao's fleeing back, Shi Fuxin covered her face with a fan and burst into laughter.
This guy Chu Yao is so innocent!
An Ran looked on with helplessness: "Girl, please be more restrained, you scared my uncle away."
Shi Fuxin: "I changed my clothes and dressed up. Isn't it just to cultivate a relationship with Chu Yao in advance? Of course I have to express my feelings truly."
An Ran wanted to cover her head: "But what if I think you are not dignified?"
Shi Fuxin pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't think if I am happy because of the gift he gave me, he will be unhappy."
Looking at the direction in which Chu Yao's figure disappeared, Shi Fuxin said quietly: "I don't want to passively wait for him to dictate the direction of our relationship. I want to take the initiative to control his emotions."
An Ran's eyelids twitched when she heard this. Girls are always so unique.
In mid-June, Shi Fuxin went out of the city to inspect the raw materials purchased by Hongyanxiao. Not long after she came out of Zhuangzi, she noticed that someone was following her.
I scanned it with my mental power, and I saw, good guys, more than a dozen men in black were ambushing on both sides of the official road, all holding cold long knives in their hands.
This is the rhythm to kill her!
Shi Fuxin squinted her eyes. Even though she kept such a low profile, she still caused a fatal disaster.
Who sent it?
Prince?
Or the Fourth Prince?
Shi Fuxin opened the car curtain, put her arm across the window sill, and tapped it once and for all, and told the coachman: "Shi Yi, Shi Er, take the small road back."
Shi Yi and Shi Er are the two ninth-level masters who follow Shi Fuxin in Master Xiang's group. On weekdays, when Shi Fuxin goes out, they act as coachmen. For some things that Shi Fuxin is not able to do, they are also the two.
People are in charge.
After hearing Shi Fuxin's instructions, the two of them drove the carriage directly out of the official road and onto the path without asking.
In the carriage, Xiaofang was a little puzzled: "Girl, why did you take the alley?"
Shi Fuxin smiled lightly and said: "The scenery on the path is beautiful."
Xiaofang still didn't understand, but she didn't ask any more questions.
Not long after, the carriage drove into a woods.
As soon as they entered the woods, Shi Yishi and Shi Er's expressions became tense. Just when he wanted to remind Shi Fuxin in the carriage, Shi Fuxin said: "Don't worry, just keep walking."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yi and Shi Er knew that Shi Fuxin was aware of the danger, looked around cautiously, and drove the carriage forward.
Xiaofang drew out the soft sword from her waist.
Soon, the branches swayed, and more than a dozen men in black rushed out at the same time, heading directly towards the carriage to assassinate them.
Shi Yishi turned around, pulled out his sword from under the carriage, and faced the man in black at the same time as Xiaofang, who flew out of the carriage.
Using less against many, Xiaofang and the other three actually stopped the man in black, and they did so quite easily.
The man in black is only a ninth-grade warrior, and the others are all seventh- and eighth-grade warriors.
Seeing how powerful the three Xiaofangs were, the ninth-grade man in black was a little surprised. Realizing that the situation was not good, he turned around and was about to flee. However, before he could even take two steps, a leaf passed by his neck, and then he fell to the ground.<
/p>
A quarter of an hour later, all the men in black were eliminated.
"Girl, I asked, these people were sent by the second son of Prince Rong's palace."
"Who?!"
Shi Fuxin's face was full of surprise.
Shi Yi said again: "This is Chu Zhao, the second young master of Prince Rong's Mansion."
Shi Fuxin's brows knitted into knots. She knew that Prince Rong's Mansion was not a kind place, but she didn't expect that someone would be sent to kill her before she was even married.
"Go and find out if they have any tokens from the royal palace on them."
Soon, Shi Er took out a waist badge from the ninth-grade man in black, with the word "Zhao" engraved on it.
Shi Fuxin took the waist badge in her hand and looked through it, then sneered: "How much do you look down on me to wear such an obvious waist badge?"
Shi Yi Shi Er didn't say anything.
Is the second young master of Prince Rong’s residence careless?
Not necessarily.
For a woman in the boudoir, sending a ninth-grade and several seventh- and eighth-grade women to surround and kill her at the same time is already considered very important.
It's just that the second young master probably didn't expect that the sixth girl would be so powerful.
Xiaofang was furious: "Girl, Prince Rong's Mansion is too bullying. I must tell my uncle about this, and he must give you an explanation."
Shi Fuxin put away her belt: "Since it's directed at me, it's my business. It's my business, and I'll take care of it naturally."
Looking at Shi Yi Shi Er, "Take care of these people and don't let anyone find our traces."
Shi Yi and Shi Er went to work, but Xiaofang was still very angry: "Girl, are you really not going to tell me?"
Shi Fuxin said lightly: "Tell Chu Yao, can he kill Chu Zhao? I haven't married into the prince's palace yet, and brothers Chu Yao and Chu Zhao have turned against each other. I don't know what will happen to them, but I'm afraid.
You will be called a disaster."
"Don't be in a hurry about today's matters. We'll settle them later in the future."
Prince Rong's Mansion
Chu Zhao was in a bad mood after waiting all night but not waiting for the secret guard killer sent out.
Shi Zhenghe and his family were all ninth-grade masters. He was already very cautious and sent one ninth-grade, several eighth-grade, and seven-grade masters. Even if Fu Xin was still a ninth-grade master at that time, it was enough to kill her.
But the secret guards haven't come back yet, and I'm afraid the situation is already in danger.
The Beiyan delegation is about to arrive in Beijing. As long as Shi Fuxin dies, her marriage with Chu Yao will continue, and Chu Yao will not marry Princess Beiyan. In this case, how can he take over the Supervision Department?
As for whether the emperor would let him take over the Supervision Department, Chu Zhao didn't care. Anyway, as long as Chu Yao married Princess Beiyan, the emperor would definitely reward Prince Rong's palace. With his father's love for him, he would definitely be able to get it for him.
Not a bad job.
But the assassination failed, which made Chu Zhao extremely angry.
"Second Master, the prince is looking for you."
Hearing the servant's call, Chu Zhao hurriedly calmed down his emotions and hurried to see Prince Rongjun.
