The fourth wife saw off Mrs. Wei Guogong. When she came back, she saw Shen Wan and Shen Wei still in the pavilion, so she walked towards the pavilion.
The fourth wife stepped into the pavilion. Shen Wan did not get up, but called out, "Fourth Aunt."
The fourth wife smiled at Shen Wan and saw that Shen Wei's face was red and said, "Why is Wei'er's face so red?"
Shen Wei stood up and said, "Mom and eldest sister are talking, I'll go to the garden for a walk."
After saying that, the fourth wife hurriedly ran away before she could speak.
The fourth wife shook her head and laughed. She sat down opposite Shen Wan. Shen Wan said, "Fourth aunt has something to tell me?"
The fourth wife sighed, "Today is the third time Mrs. Wei Guogong has come to visit. I hope your fourth uncle and I will agree to let Wei'er come over as soon as possible..."
The fourth wife has a gentle temperament and is not good at rejecting people.
This is why Shen Wan told her to let Shen Wei leave the cabinet in the spring next year, so she repeatedly rejected Mrs. Wei Guogong. But she refused more times, and she was a little worried. Her daughter would eventually get married, which was too disrespectful to Mrs. Wei Guogong. I am afraid that Mrs. Wei Guogong will be unhappy.
The fourth wife looked at Shen Wan, "Fourth aunt still remembers your advice. It is best to let Wei'er get married in the spring of next year. If she gets married before then, what will be the consequences?"
Shen Wan couldn't answer this question.
She looked at the fourth wife and said, "To be honest with my fourth aunt, I deceived my fourth aunt and my fourth sister that day. The fourth sister wore a mask to avoid disfigurement. It was not a Taoist fortune-telling, but a dream I had. And This Meizhou earthquake, because of my dream, I took precautions in advance, so so many people did not die..."
Shen Wan spoke softly, but the fourth wife looked shocked.
Shen Wan said, "In my dream, in the winter a few months later, a bad disease will break out in Kyoto, and many people will be infected with smallpox, including the young master of the Duke of Wei. Unfortunately, the young master of the Duke of Wei died in infancy, and the Marquis of Wuding identified him as the son of Duke Wei." Xu Xian failed to take good care of the young master, so he chased and beat up Xu Xian’s natal family..."
"In reality, the fourth sister escaped disfigurement, injured her eyes, and got engaged to the prince of Wei Guogong. It is very different from my dream. I just thought about it just in case, and because the fourth sister is still young, I thought After this winter, let the fourth sister come out of the cabinet."
After explaining the reason, Shen Wan said, "A few days ago, Wei Guogong broke off his engagement with the Wuding Marquis Mansion in front of all the guests. My worries should no longer exist. There is nothing wrong with the fourth sister leaving the cabinet as soon as possible."
The fourth wife was a little shaken at first, but now she became firm, "It would be better to get married again next spring."
The fourth wife had never seen how serious smallpox was, but she had also heard about it.
With her daughter by her side, she felt more at ease. She married into the Duke of Wei's house. Once the smallpox disease spread, she was afraid that she would not even be able to see her daughter. In addition, the young master of the Duke of Wei's house would be infected with smallpox, so she had to come into contact with him in case he was infected. …
Just thinking about it made the fourth wife feel chills on her back.
Nothing was more important than her daughter's life.
Shen Wei walked around the garden and came back. Seeing that her mother had not left yet, she walked around again. She couldn't help it anymore, so she entered the pavilion and said, "What are you and my eldest sister talking about for so long?"
The fourth wife said angrily, "Can't Mom talk to your eldest sister for a while?"
Shen Wei said, "Every time eldest sister comes back, she can't stay for a while and then leaves. Today I finally stayed a little longer, and my mother still dominates eldest sister."
The fourth wife couldn't help laughing, "Okay, mother, let's go. I won't stop you sisters from talking."
The fourth wife stood up and left with a smile.
Shen Wei sat down and Shen Wan smiled and said, "If fourth sister is not busy, you can go to Prince Ling's Mansion to talk to me more."
She is never busy and has plenty of time.
but--
Shen Wei said melancholy, "I have wanted to go for a long time, but eldest sister has to take care of Prince Ling, and mother and father don't allow me to go to Prince Ling's mansion to bother you."
Shen Wan laughed, "I'll go back to my fourth uncle and my fourth aunt and ask them to let you go."
Shen Wei nodded repeatedly.
One of them didn't want to move, and the other just walked around the garden twice and didn't want to visit the garden. They just talked in the pavilion. After Shen Wei lost her temper and was tired, she talked a lot more.
While talking about the interesting things that have happened in Kyoto recently, a little maid in a goose-yellow dress ran over and said breathlessly, "Auntie, Fourth Miss, the Crown Prince is back!"
Shen Wei was happy at first, but then she realized what she was doing, with a hint of embarrassment on her pretty face, "Why do you think eldest sister has the leisure to accompany me to the garden today? I know that eldest brother is going back home today and is waiting for him."
The two went to the front yard and saw Xie Jingyan and Shen Du approaching from a distance.
Shen Wan walked over and said, "Brother has lost a lot of weight..."
Shen Du touched his face. He had been either traveling or busy in the past month since he left Beijing. He was more tired than training in the military camp. He had indeed lost a little weight.
He looked Shen Wan up and down, then patted Xie Jingyan on the shoulder and said, "Brother-in-law has raised my sister very well."
Xie Jingyan was silent and said, "I don't dare to take credit for this."
Shen Wan couldn't help but stab him with a look on his face that said, "She eats every mouthful of food by herself."
Shen Wei saluted Shen Du, and Shen Du said, "I brought you a gift."
The boy followed behind with the gift and immediately gave the gift to Shen Wei. Shen Wei was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, brother."
Not only Shen Wei has it, but Shen Dan also has it.
Shen Wan looked at the beauty fan and incense in Shen Wei's hand, then at the dagger in Shen Dan's hand, and said, "Brother, where's mine?"
Shen Wan reached out for it, and Shen Du wanted to pat Shen Wan's hand, but a certain man held it first and said, "Your eldest brother and your cousin have brought you a lot of gifts, and they have been sent to the palace."
She said that her eldest brother had even prepared gifts for her fourth sister and brother, so there was no way he would not bring them to her.
Shen Wan had something more curious about than gifts. There was no one around, so Shen Wan asked directly, "Brother, went to Huaizhou and met Princess Huai'an?"
"I saw it," Shen Du said.
"That you……"
Before Shen Wan could say anything, a young man ran over and interrupted her, "Your Majesty, the palace has sent someone to announce the decree."
Shen Du was surprised, "Isn't this reward coming too soon?"
Xie Jingyan said, "Go and receive the order."
Shen Du was really curious about what the emperor had rewarded him, so he immediately walked to the main hall.
Seeing that it was Eunuch Yuan who came to announce the decree, I couldn't help but be even more surprised.
Although he made contributions to the Meizhou earthquake, the main credit does not lie with him. There is no need for Eunuch Yuan to announce the reward in person, right?
The emperor decreed that almost all the masters of the Hou Mansion were here except the old lady who was in bed recuperating from illness.
Led by Shen Jing, Wu Yangyang knelt in the main hall.
Eunuch Yuan opened the imperial edict and read loudly, "By God's blessing, the emperor's edict reads: Shen Du, the son of Marquis Pingyang, is a man of astonishing talent, martial arts, courage and wisdom, and has made great contributions to the Meizhou earthquake. I am sincerely grateful I am very relieved that King An has a daughter, Princess Huai'an, who is both talented and beautiful, respectful and sensitive, and she is a perfect match for her. Now I will marry them two, and we have decided to get married on the eighteenth day of the following month.
All etiquette is handled by the Minister of Rites. Announce it to the world and send envoys to hear it. "
Eunuch Yuan finished reading the imperial edict in one breath, then closed it, and saw Shen Du kneeling on the ground, with an expression on his face that was struck by lightning.
Eunuch Yuan, "...???"
Why don't you look very happy?
Didn't Prince Pingyang fall in love with the princess of Huai'an and would not marry her unless she was the one?
This doesn't look like it.
Duke Yuan said, "Prince Pingyang, please accept the order."
