Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general

After hearing these words, Old Madam Shen was very pleased:

"You are a wise man, and you can save the government from wasting a lot of money!"

The next morning, Shen Zhili left the court and went to Jifu Hall to pay his respects.

Cuihong and others were waiting outside the Jifu Hall. When they saw Shen Zhili, they hurried over to greet him:

"Master Hou is back!"

Shen Zhili saw Cuihong's outfit today, pinched her cheek, and moved closer to tease her:

"You are dressed up like a flower today. What's new?"

Her face was red, and her little ears seemed to be bleeding.

"My Lord is always making fun of me! I'm afraid he will ignore me soon!"

"What do you mean?" Shen Zhili couldn't help but pinch Cuihong's earlobe.

This little girl doesn’t like wearing earrings, but her ears are delicate and full, which makes her more attractive than others wearing earrings!

Cuihong lowered her head and said, "Madam Lan is going to enter the mansion. How can I compare to her?"

Shen Zhili was stunned. He hadn't thought about Xie Xilan for a long time!

"The betrothal gifts from the Marquis' Mansion haven't been sent yet. You still have some time to monopolize my life!"

Shen Zhili is popular among women not only because of his handsome appearance, but also because of his ability to coax women!

Cuihong shyly pushed the man's chest gently, but her slender waist was held by the man instead, holding her in his arms, unable to move:

"Even if she comes in, she's still pregnant, and you'll have your own benefits!"

After saying that, he couldn't help himself and gently bit the earlobe that had seduced him for a long time!

Cuihong let out a soft cry, covered her face and ran into the yard!

Shen Zhili was in high spirits when he met his mother and asked how she was. Then Old Madam Shen started the conversation:

"Now that the national mourning is over, you should marry Lan'er as soon as possible. Your sister will get married eventually, and there needs to be someone to take care of the affairs of the mansion!"

"Mother is right. I will prepare the betrothal gifts and propose marriage in the next two days, and then I will marry Lan'er!"

As soon as the mother and son had made the decision, Shen Yujun got the news!

"My mother is so biased. I have tried my best to please her for so many years, but she still doesn't care about me at all!"

Shen Yujun's face was gloomy, and the account book in his hand was clenched into a ball: "Then don't blame me for being rude!"

In order to marry a decent wife, the masters of the marquis's mansion are all busy!

But the betrothal gifts of the Weiwu Marquisate were not ready yet, and the emperor suddenly issued an imperial decree.

The whole court was in uproar!

The young princess Xiao Shuxue of Prince Cheng's Mansion married Shen Zhili of Marquis Weiwu's Mansion as his legal wife!

The first imperial decree granting marriage since the emperor ascended the throne was given to the Weiwu Marquis Mansion!

What an honor is this?

Without talking about what happened in Prince Cheng's mansion, let's just talk about Shen Zhili. After receiving the imperial edict from court, he knelt in the imperial study, hugged the emperor's thighs, and cried so hard that the emperor's trouser legs were wet!

Those are tears of joy, but also tears of gratitude!

Shen Zhili swore from the bottom of his heart that he was willing to sacrifice his life to share the emperor's worries!

But the emperor is a benevolent monarch, how could he let his court officials' heads explode at will?

He pulled out his thigh with great effort and patted Shen Zhili:

"Hurry up and prepare. The emperor's uncle needs to save face, so don't be careless! Besides, the late emperor's order must be carried out! How about this, just marry the two beauties on the same day, it will also be a good story!"

Shen Zhili left the palace crying and got on the carriage. People along the way could hear the crazy noise of Lord Shen crying and laughing, laughing and crying!

When Old Madam Shen heard the news, her legs became weak and she could not stand: "Prince Cheng and the late emperor are brothers, and Zhili married his granddaughter. Does that mean he is also related to the royal family?"

Nanny Wang smiled so hard that her face turned sour. She supported Old Madam Shen and congratulated her repeatedly:

"Of course. After all, the Marquis and the Emperor are uncle and nephew from now on!"

"Oh, then our Shen family is a royal family!"

Old Madam Shen clapped her thighs and laughed till tears splashed everywhere. Suddenly she remembered something and waved outside: "Go and call Yujun. I have something to tell you!"

As soon as Shen Yujun entered the gate of Jifu Hall, she saw Old Madam Shen standing at the door:

"Yujun, please walk faster. Why are you so slow? I'll wait for you for a while!"

After the two sat down, Madam Shen couldn't wait to explain:

"Now your brother's status is not ordinary, and the Cheng Palace is even more noble. You must pay special attention to the betrothal gifts and take out the most precious things in the storehouse. Don't let your brother lose face!"

Shen Yujun was about to speak, but then she heard Old Madam Shen say quickly:

"Forget it, you are still an unmarried girl, how can you understand these things? Bring me the account books from the mansion, and I will take care of it myself!"

Shen Yujun's eyes flashed with joy, but she pretended to be embarrassed:

"Originally, I only prepared the betrothal gift for Sister Lan, but now the young princess is going to marry in, and I can't take out so much cash at once!"

Madam Shen curled her lips and said, "I told you that you are inexperienced. Why is Xie Xilan so anxious? She is just a concubine, not a noble one. She has been a concubine for three years. What do you want a betrothal gift for? When the time comes, just bring her in a sedan chair!"

Shen Yujun was unusually well-behaved today. She called the maid to move the account book to Jifu Hall and left in a hurry!

Nanny Wang looked at Shen Yujun's back and frowned!

Madam Shen flipped through a few account books and said awkwardly, "Let's go to the warehouse and take a look."

The words on the account book are so densely packed, it’s better to look directly at the warehouse!

The storehouse of the Marquis's Mansion is not small, with three large rooms and two side rooms.

In the past few months, there have been piles of gifts coming in. One time, I heard Shen Yujun say that the warehouse was almost full!

When the storeroom manager saw the old lady coming, he immediately took out a bunch of keys and asked, "Which ones would you like to see?"

"The old lady is going to prepare the betrothal gifts for Prince Cheng's mansion. Please open all the doors." Nanny Wang ordered.

How could the manager dare not agree? All the doors of the warehouse were opened.

Old Madam Shen stretched her head and looked, her face blossoming with smiles!

Every room is filled to the brim, which truly is the confidence of the Marquis’ Mansion!

"Come on, accompany me to pick some!" Old Madam Shen held Nanny Wang's hand and went into the small jewelry room first.

There were three wooden tables in the small room, and the tables on the three walls were filled with boxes.

The warehouse manager had good eyesight and took the lead to open the boxes on the long table.

For a moment, the room was filled with precious light!

"Great, great, this bracelet is great, this headpiece is also great, and these hairpins are really heavy!"

Old Madam Shen touched this and looked at that, like a mouse that had landed in a rice field, her eyes shining!

No wonder the daughter likes the housekeeper so much and is not happy about her son getting married. These treasures make people feel happy just looking at them!

Nanny Wang glanced at the warehouse manager calmly, but the manager avoided her gaze and just responded to Madam Shen's words.

After struggling for half a day, they finally chose the jewelry fabric. Old Madam Shen was so tired that she kept pounding her waist, but her expression was still excited:

"Tomorrow we will count the deeds to the shops and land, as well as the cash. We must not let my princess and daughter-in-law suffer any injustice!"
