MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 9 dowry
Qin Yan asked Shen Huai to enshrine the imperial decree in the Shen family ancestral hall according to the rules, so as not to be included in the previous book on the grounds of disrespecting the royal family by the Censor Desk.
It is said that since the prince is in charge of the country, the censors are especially frequent in filing the manuscripts. The prince seems to have the posture of cleaning up the officials of the dynasty.
Qin Yan's name is also listed on the Qin family tree. The imperial decree should have been offered to the Qin mansion ancestral hall, but Eunuch Li who issued the decree today went to the Qin mansion for a walk. If you go to Qin Mansion with the imperial decree again, it will be too late.
I just don't know if Li Fuquan's actions today are his own intentions or the intentions of the person on the throne. In any case, you should also accept this feeling.
------
Qin Yan had the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon. After getting up, he drank a cup of tea to refresh himself. Shen Huai routinely came to report.
"The grandfather has news, and he will be in Beijing in the next few days."
"Well." Xiaoguan's affairs were complicated, and it took a lot of time for his grandfather to hand over to the Ministry of War, but after counting the days, it was indeed time to return to Beijing.
"Uncle Huai, how's it going?" Qin Yan suddenly thought of another thing that made her extremely uncomfortable.
"At that time, there were mainly four kinds of dowry items for the young lady. One was Xiyuan, which was located next to Qin Mansion; Zhuangzi; fourth, gold and silver antiques, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings stored in the warehouse of Xiyuan.”
Shen Huai closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying his best to calm down.
Then he said:
"Miss, the shopkeepers of all the shops and the heads of the two Zhuangzi are no longer the people who were originally arranged by the Guo Gongfu. After the young lady got married with Qin Xiang, she has been using her dowry to supplement the Qin residence's household. Qin Xiang arranged The Qin family went to the shop and Zhuangzi to take care of it. A few years ago, the shop and Zhuangzi sold it at a low price because of poor management. The buyer was Song Mei."
"What? Use Madam's money to buy Madam's shop Zhuangzi, they are shameless!" Shen Ying, who was serving tea next to her, widened her eyes, she was unbelievable and extremely angry.
"Continue." Qin Yan sipped the tea quietly, but there was no change on his face.
"Whether the title deed of Xiyuan is still in the name of the young lady is still unclear. But before the young lady got married, the grandfather bought several houses adjacent to the Qin mansion and built the Xiyuan for the young lady with great fanfare. It's a well-known thing. Thinking about it, they don't dare to be too arrogant and dare to attack Xiyuan's idea."
"The gold and silver antiques, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings stored in Xiyuan's warehouse, including house deeds and land deeds, should be passive."
"There was a period of time when the young lady became interested and made a lot of paintings and calligraphy by herself, which replaced the famous masterpieces hanging in the Qiushuiyuan of Xiyuan, and let me put them in the warehouse. One of them was Master Yishan's spring water and moon view. A few days ago, I happened to see this painting being used as a treasure of the town store and hanging in a bookstore in the West City. I looked at it, it should be an authentic work. Maybe it was given away, or sold or pawned ,unknown."
With a bang, Shen Ying put down the teapot in her hand and said angrily:
"The warehouse hidden at the bottom of the pool can be opened up and moved up, not to get the things inside, is it really to protect the collection from moisture? It's shameless."
"Miss is not good to others, if it was back then..." Shen Huai's voice choked in his throat.
"Miss said that these are the dowries left to the master..." Shen Huai looked at Qin Yan.
Qin Yan was sitting in a simple armchair, playing with the red sandalwood bracelet newly sent by Mr. Ji. "It's definitely more troublesome than I thought."
"Shen Ying, invite Mr. Ji into the mansion." Qin Yan raised her eyes and commanded.
"Mr. Ji is already in the flower hall." Shen Ying replied immediately.
"That's right." Ji Nanfeng always thought about being in front of Qin Yan, and she never had to worry too much about it.
------
After a while, Ji Nanfeng came in.
"Master." Ji Nanfeng saluted Qin Yan.
Qin Yan nodded.
Ji Nanfeng turned to Shen Huai and bowed again,
"master."
Shen Huai nodded,
"Nanfeng, you are here."
Back then, Qin Yan brought back Ji Nanfeng and handed it over to Shen Huai. Shen Huai trained him as his successor. Then hand it back to Qin Yan. After that, Shen Huai took care of the affairs between Qin Yan and the Duke of Zhenguo. On the other hand, Ji Nanfeng handles Qin Yan's private property and manages the affairs of the mansion.
"Uncle Huai, after you go down, tell Mr. Ji all the details of your mother's property that you found out."
"Yes, Master," Shen Huai replied.
"Mr. Ji, at any cost, we will sell the shops that Song Mei runs and other shops in the same industry. Let the managers of the firms in various states select competent talents and come to Beijing as soon as possible." Qin Yan's voice was slightly cold, Song Mei's business , it's time to make arrangements.
"Mr. Ji, have you checked Wenluo, the shopkeeper of Yu's Firm in Gucheng?" Qin Yan asked Ji Nanfeng.
Ji Nanfeng eloquently explained the information he had investigated:
"Wen Luo, from a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou, Yujia, as the adopted son of the former head of the Yu family, has been wandering in the shopping malls in the south for many years. Retiring, I want to return to my hometown. In order to repay the kindness of my family's upbringing, I was bound by my hands and feet, but I have never had a crooked heart, and my character is still decent."
"Master wants to use him?" Ji Nanfeng asked.
"It can't be said to be useful. This person has the ability and ambition, but what is missing is the opportunity. We can let him take advantage, support him, and help him make a comeback. Some things, our people are inconvenient to come forward and let him do the right thing. This is cooperation. ." Qin Yan's tone was light.
Ji Nanfeng frowned slightly, "Master, it's a rule set before that the firm does not enter the capital. I'm worried about the Heavenly Family..."
"This time is different from the past. Now I am the master of Zhaoren County, and I just want to avenge my personal revenge in a fair and open manner. As early as in Gucheng, several groups of people were already investigating us, and they couldn't hide it." Qin Yan spoke slowly, but Really arrogant.
"What's the matter with Mr. Ji entering the manor?"
"The main mansion of Xishan County has been taken care of. The yard reserved for Princess Jingyi has also been arranged according to the list given by the princess. What other arrangements does the master have?"
"Choose a date and move to the mansion. Arrange a housewarming banquet!" Qin Yan remembered Feng Yuyao's joke.
"Master, we're not going back to Xiyuan anymore? Isn't that people taking advantage of it in vain?" Shen Ying was angry.
"Don't worry, if you have the ability to take it, it depends on whether you have the ability to keep it."
Just play with them.
------
In the early morning of the next day, in front of the ministers, Taipu Siqing read out the scale of the Mulan Racecourse handed over by Zhaoren County Lord. There are more than 100,000 adult horses, more than 50,000 young horses, countless cattle and sheep, and tens of thousands of camels. Among them, more than ten horses with sweat and blood have been transported to the horse farm in the western suburbs.
The court was shocked by the large scale of Mulan Racecourse and its amazing value. And Zhaoren County Lord turned in all of them, which is really a big hand.
It was only then that the courtier suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he was able to obtain the title of the county master. Before, he felt that the food town of 5,000 households was out of regulation, but now he is ashamed. With such a family background, these food towns may not be seen by others.
After the court, whether it was a civil official or a military general, they took turns to congratulate Qin Prime Minister, and they all praised Qin Prime Minister for teaching daughters well and righteousness.
Qin Xiang was speechless. As Qin Yan's father, he did not know about the racecourse in advance. When a colleague asked about this, he could only vaguely mention it.
After going down, Qin Xiang found a restaurant, went up to the box on the second floor by the window, and sat alone.
His eldest daughter was an eye-opener, and she did have that kind of arrogance. Just how much financial and material resources it takes to raise this horse farm is really incredible for today's young people, and they feel even more powerless. Over the years, he has calculated Shen Shiying's property, which is also Qin Yan's dowry. I hope those things can't get into the eyes of today's Qin Yan.
Qin Xiang took a few sips in the restaurant, and there is a big court meeting tomorrow, so he didn't dare to drink freely, so as not to get drunk and make mistakes. When it was almost dusk, I got up and went back to the house.
Qin Xiang dragged his heavy steps and was already exhausted. What awaited him in the mansion was his mother's questioning, Song Mei's crying, and his daughter's resentment. Even Ming'er has frequently asked about his eldest sister Qin Yan in recent days. As the son of a civil servant, he is now admitted to the Imperial College. He actually said how much he admired his eldest sister and hoped that he would be able to enter the office with military merit. Yesterday, the father and son quarreled and broke up.
When they came down from the second floor, they passed the hall and heard everyone marvel at the fate of Zhaoren County Master, and they were all envious.
The mother of Zhaoren County Master, Shen Shiying, was the number one beauty in Shangjing back then, and she was Bai Yueguang in the hearts of many people.
Yes, including Qin Wenzheng, who met Shen Shiying at the beginning of that year...
Can't think about it anymore, the dead are gone. Qin Xiang felt that he was several years old these days and left in a hurry.
------
A few days later, the Pingxi army returned to the court, and the people greeted him as they entered the city gate.
The generals of the Pingxi Army, some stayed at the garrison, and some returned to Beijing. The army entered the suburbs of Beijing and camped in the western suburbs camp.
Therefore, there were not many people entering the city. The leader of the horse sat on the horse of the Pingxi Army, the Duke of Zhen Guo, Shen Changshan. Although he had gray hair and beard, he was in good spirits.
Then his sons Shen Shiyan and Sun Shenci came on horseback. The three of them are of different ages, but have the same temperament, and they all have the fortitude honed on the battlefield.
After that, the officers and men of the Pingxi Army were all iron-clad, with a murderous aura. Among them was Xie Zhao, the eldest son of Marquis Yongding, who was also an illegitimate son, and the elder brother that Xie Changyuan hated so much.
The Pingxi Army and his party entered the imperial city, and after accepting the commendation from the sage and the prince, except for the people from the government of Zhenguo, the rest of the soldiers returned to the camp in the western suburbs.
------
In the town hall, after dinner, the family sat in the main hall gossiping.
The Duke of Zhen did not like extravagance, and the furnishings of the Duke’s mansion were relatively simple, and even in the homes of public officials and officials, they were even rudimentary. But the family is used to living in the army, and everything they use on weekdays is mainly simple and practical, which is not surprising.
It has been more than ten years since the last time the family was together like this. Today, it's not even neat, Shen Shiying...
"Fang Su, you have been working in the mansion all these years, it's been hard work." Shen Changshan opened his mouth to break the silence.
"This is what a daughter-in-law should do." Fang Su sat on one side with Shen Shiyan, and Shen Shiyan held Fang Su's hand lightly.
The Shen family always speaks straight to the point, Shen Changshan's voice is full of energy, and he talks about official business.
"The meaning of the saint is that the day after tomorrow, in Shanglin Garden, the Imperial Army of Beiya, the Imperial Army of Nanya, and the Peaceful West Army will be formed into three teams to hold a polo match."
After Shen Changshan finished speaking, he looked at Qin Yan,
"The Holy Master specially named, and Zhaoren County Lord will go to watch the game together. Let you bring that kid."
"Oh? Are you going to inspect the goods?" Qin Yan showed interest.
"The officers and men who returned from the Pingxi Army will either join the military department or the forbidden army of the north and south. The forbidden army of Beiya is commanded by Xie Changyuan, the prince of Yongding Hou's mansion. I also know the news circulating in the capital, that Shuzi dared to repent of the marriage and humiliate your reputation, and now the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and the Marquis of Yongding's mansion are even enmity." Shen Changshan was sullen.
"The commander of the Nanya Forbidden Army, Lu Chen, is from the Prince's Army. The Nanya Forbidden Army is really a faction of the prince. Although the prince is in the current situation, the government of Zhenguo has always had too many contacts with the prince. I hope to find a good place for the soldiers. Now it is difficult.”
"Look at the polo match, the meaning of the saint, let's see the tricks." Shen Shiyan said at this time.
Shen Changshan sighed and looked at Qin Yan,
"When Xie Zhao joined the army, I didn't know his details at first. When I found out, it was Xie Shizi who came to ask for someone. I don't know if I did it right or not?"
This matter was insignificant, and Qin Yan did not want his grandfather to worry and blame himself for this matter, so he comforted:
"At that time, the war had just ended, and the army suffered heavy losses. His Majesty had given the task of taking Gucheng again, and the army was in urgent need of employing people. What's more, Xie Zhao was injured in the task, so he couldn't be pushed out because of reason. Grandfather, Don't take it to heart."
------
"Forget it, what's going on with the main mansion of Zhaoren County? It is located at the north and south ends of the Xishan Palace with the Prince's Mansion. Is this because I'm afraid others won't see that the royal family is matching you and the prince?" Shen Changshan asked.
"When I entered the palace, the sage asked me about my marriage, and also mentioned the prince. The holy heart is unpredictable, I hope I'm overthinking it. I come from a noble family, and marriage is mostly a tool of the royal family. I know it well. But I have no intention of entering the royal family. We can only take one step at a time." Qin Yan was very relieved about her marriage, she yearned for freedom, but she also knew the responsibilities brought by her background.
Shen Changshan sighed softly and said:
"Back then, I chose a good son-in-law for your mother. She agreed with you and was unwilling to enter the royal family. I didn't expect that she would be unkind to others."
"I don't want to join the royal family, is it today?" Qin Yan looked at Shen Changshan in surprise.
She doesn't know about her mother's past, but there are indications that the attack on her mother that year may not only be Song Mei's handwriting, but also behind the scenes in the palace, but who is it?
"Those are all over, we don't need you to sacrifice your marriage, you don't need to wrong yourself anymore. Even if you don't get married, the Duke of Zhenguo can support you for the rest of your life. When I die, your uncle and aunt and your cousin will be there for you. Brother loves you. Otherwise, let Shen Ci marry you. Although he is not very enlightened, he still treats you well..."
"Grandfather!" Qin Yan interrupted Shen Changshan's words in time. She didn't want these words to spread into the ears of future sister-in-law and add to misunderstanding.
As soon as they heard Shen Changshan speak, both Shen Shiyan and Fang Su's eyes flashed, and they looked at Qin Yan. When Qin Yan refused, they looked at each other with disappointment.
From the very beginning, Shen Ci just sat reclining in the chair without saying a word, quietly acting as his background board.
Only then did you speak eloquently:
"Grandfather, you are not afraid that Xiaoyanyan and I will fight if you mess up the mandarin ducks? Although she has been sick all these years, but with her skills, we can tear down the palace several times a day. "
Before he finished speaking, a teacup lid smashed into Shen Ci's face, but was caught by Shen Ci neatly.
"You son of a bitch." Shen Shiyan hated that iron was not steel. The couple hoped to take better care of Shi Ying's daughter, and they really liked Qin Yan, so they wanted to be more kissed.
At this moment, Shen Ci suddenly straightened his sitting posture, raised his right palm, and looked at Qin Yan, "Today, my grandfather, my father and mother are the witnesses, I hereby swear by Shen Ci that no matter what happens in the future, my brother will do my best to protect you. lifetime!"
Hearing this, Shen Changshan and Shen Shiyan nodded in satisfaction. Husband and wife are not important, as long as the cousins support each other, they will be relieved.
Qin Yan knew that the elder brother Shen Ci had treated him very well since he was a child, but taking this oath made Qin Yan's heart warm. Here is her family, they want to protect her for the rest of their lives, and she will definitely protect them.
"However, Xiao Yanyan, you still don't know who you rescued in Meishan at the beginning? It caused you to fall into the cold pool and suffer from chills. Don't let me catch that person, I will press him into the cold pool. Also soaked in a round." Shen Ci's eyes were full of anger, when Qin Yanxue Mountain was in danger, he lost his life without worry, otherwise...
When it was snowing heavily in Meishan, when he met the man, he had fallen into the snow due to snow blindness, and his entire body was buried in the snowdrifts. When she dragged the man out, she pulled off a cuff of her own and covered his eyes. She didn't see the whole picture, and she didn't know who that person was, and how could Shen Ci find it.
------
In the Prince's Mansion in Xishan, Lu Chen presented the list of the Nanya Imperial Army's pre-participation in the polo match to the prince for review.
Feng Zhan glanced at it, "Are you going to end?"
"My subordinates want to pick the seedlings in person."
"I don't know about you? Lu San, you can't tell whether Miaozi is good or bad from the sidelines? The Pingxi Army has just left the battlefield. You are so **** that you want to stretch your muscles and bones. Are your hands itchy?" Song Zhi teased.
"Don't dare to deceive Your Highness, my subordinates are indeed selfish." Lu Chen admitted that he wanted to compete with the soldiers of the Pingxi Army. However, does Song Laoliu also want to do this? Lu Chen looked back at Song Zhi.
"At that time, let's see whether Xie Changyuan will end up on the Beiya side. You are the commander of the forbidden army, and you are fighting with a group of subordinates. What does it look like." Feng Zhan felt a little helpless to this subordinate.
Lu Chen is a martial idiot, and it has been more than two years since he returned to Beijing from the Shuobei battlefield. He will definitely not miss this opportunity to be able to face the Shangping West Army.
"Subordinates obey." Lu Chen took the order and left.
------
At the Beiya Imperial Camp, it was time to hold the lights, and Xie Changyuan was still training the sergeants who were selected for the polo match.
Over the years, there have been many frictions between the North and South Guards during their duties. His Majesty held polo matches from time to time to relieve each other's grievances and avoid mishaps due to disputes. They were accustomed to it.
But this time with the participation of the Pingxi Army, he was sure that Xie Zhao would take this opportunity to show his strength. He couldn't give Xie Zhao a chance to emerge. For Xie Zhao, he will fight for everything, this is for himself and also for his mother.
"Keep training!"
------
In the western suburbs camp, Xie Zhao wiped the saber in his hand, and finally we are going to meet, brother.
