Chapter 1104: Begging Festival
The days passed suddenly, the weather became hotter and hotter, but there was still no follow-up to the above-mentioned corruption case. Shen Yao still went to the court every day, and he couldn't see anything wrong.
But Shen Nanzhi knew that the longer this matter dragged on, the more people would secretly slander themselves, in the end, it was a dead person, and someone had to come out and bear an explanation! It's just that there has been no news from the Criminal Department for a long time, and in the days when this matter was the most violent, Shen Yao just asked for leave and waited at home for a few days.
During this period, the Qi family came to the door again, and it was still the Duchess of Qi who took Qi Yuan, but this time Qi Miao also came with her, Shen Nanzhi was so happy that she took her to her own An Yuan'er, and she also had a meal there.
This time, I don't know what Duchess Qi and Shi Shi said, but I only know that Qi Yuan looked at him with a little more tenderness and ...... Compromise? It seems that Xu is family affair of the two families took it out again.
After the people left, Shen Nanzhi went to ask Shi's family, and sure enough, this time Duchess Qi no longer did anything more polite, but directly picked out the words: "Grandpa has the heart to help your family, to be honest, this matter is just a small thing, it can't be smaller, just say a word in the position of grandpa, and in the future, it will be concluded that no one will use this matter to make a stumbling block for your family in the court...... But, Grandpa has to have a reason, right? I helped for no reason, and my grandfather couldn't be an official in the future...... Besides, I really like Nanzhi's child, the second child in our family is a concubine, and most of the titles will be given to Yuan'er in the future, you girls marry in, won't that be the main lady of the Duke's Mansion in the future......"
Shen Nanzhi sighed, is it true that his marriage is going to take a detour for the sake of politics?
Shi Shi saw her worries, and said softly: "Don't worry, I didn't agree to come down, I just said that you are still young, and this matter is not urgent." As she spoke, she paused and gently took Shen Nanzhi's hands, "Why, I have to let you have no hesitation for yourself, and the girl of the Yang family, you have to see what kind of existence it is to make a conclusion!" ”
Shen Nanzhi didn't mind her man taking a concubine, she knew that such a situation was too common, but she couldn't bear that her father-in-law had never loved her wholeheartedly from beginning to end! If Qi Yuan still has another person in her heart, why does she have to marry someone who has done bad things for others?
Shi Shi looked Shen Nanzhi up and down: "There is a post in the palace today, the Queen Mother is finally a little free, but I am afraid that the weather is hot now, and I want to enter the palace on August 15 to meet!" ”
Shen Nanzhi was overjoyed, and suddenly thought of the Empress Dowager now hanging the curtain to listen to the government, and couldn't help but smile and said: "This, this Empress Dowager invites you to the palace, and the brother and uncle will not ......."
With the closeness of the Queen Mother and the Shi family, the foreign ministers had to notice that the Shen family had the blessing of the Queen Mother! So wouldn't the ink corruption case be easily resolved?
Shi nodded a few times: "Actually, I have dragged on these days, and it is also because that time is really sensitive. ”
The big stone pressed on Shen Nanzhi's heart was finally unloaded - in this way, he didn't have to think about this Qi Yuan for others! If the family succeeds or not, there will be no entanglements on the side!
It's just that there is still a period of time before August 15 - it is Tanabata in a blink of an eye.
An Yuan'er's little girls began to prepare for today's activities early in the morning, Lilac brought Shen Nanzhi a newly made moonlight dress, and Shen Nanzhi found that the little girls in the house had also changed into new clothes.
She couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are all in a hurry to get married!?" ”
Lilac is the oldest of them, she is fourteen years old this year, and her face is red: "What does the girl say!" Wearing new clothes on the Begging Day - something that every girl knows! The slaves and maids are ready to comb themselves and stay with the girl for the rest of their lives, but you, you make fun of me with such words! ”
As he spoke, he threw away the jade comb in his hand and pretended to be angry.
Shen Nanzhi was not angry, and his face turned into a flower with a smile: "Then, I also left a few hundred taels of silver for you as a dowry, if you don't want me, you can give your share to Juan Bizhuyun and them?" ”
The two little girls couldn't hide their joy when they heard this, and deliberately made a greedy appearance and asked, "Girl, how much is Sister Lilac's share?" It's good that the dowry for both of us will be more! ”
"You, you two money lovers! If it doesn't work, I'll comb it myself, and the girl shouldn't favor one over the other! ”
Ding Xiang was about to hit someone, and a few little girls laughed while running. I've been working together for so long, and I've learned a lot about each other's temperaments and temperaments, who can't tell that everything in the house is joking? Shen Nanzhi watched a few people run away and almost knocked over the table in the house, so he hurriedly stopped, and asked someone to put aside the set of colored glazed tea sets from the official kiln on the table.
After cleaning up, Shen's mother brought a lot of clever fruits, and Shen Nanzhi went out to see that the little girls had already put a bowl with water at the door, and a lot of embroidery needles were placed on the side.
There were already a few sunken in the bowl, and it seemed that I didn't know which one had already tried, and when I saw Shen Nanzhi walking out, the anxious Juan Bi immediately pulled her over: "Girl, you can try it too!" In the morning, Zhuyun and I tried several times but failed...... It seems that the seventh sister doesn't plan to leave us a good marriage this year! ”
"That's the two of you being impetuous," Shen Nanzhi walked over with a smile, picked up a needle and gently stuck it to the water. The first one didn't succeed, it sank to the bottom, Shen Nanzhi didn't believe it and took the second one, this time her movements were extremely slow, and she gently called the silver needle in her hand to slowly touch the water, and as the slender fingers left, a silver needle lay on the water!
Shen Nanzhi looked at the people around him triumphantly: "Look, I succeeded the second time!" ”
A few people sneered, and Lilac couldn't help but quip: "This shows that the seventh sister is protecting the girl this year!" I want to point out a good marriage to the girl! ”
Shen Nanzhi's face was slightly red, and then he realized that he had been fooled, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and pressed the silver needle into the water, and then left angrily: "You few know how to tease boring people!" I don't believe that this seventh sister can really let me have a marriage that makes me satisfied! ”
This case of the Qi family is naturally nothing, if the seventh sister is really as effective as people say, she should know that she is the lover of her life...... It won't be that Qi Yuan!
Shen Nanzhi went back to the house, and not long after he sat down, someone reported from outside: "Four girls! The five girls of the Qi family invite you to go boating in Luohu Lake! ”
