The carriage was parked at the gate of the Princess Mansion. There was a continuous stream of people coming and going at the gate some time ago, but today, it has become quite deserted, and few people came to the Third Princess Mansion to take advantage of it.

The two-month deadline is about to pass, and there is still no news of the person Ye Mengchen is looking for. The Princess Mansion spent two months, expending a lot of energy and resources, and did not even get a useful clue. A little passive and sabotage.They thought that this method would not work, and they might need to discuss other countermeasures with the princess.

The husband and wife got out of the carriage together, and when they entered the gate, someone came forward to report, saying that they wanted to discuss a different way to find people.There was nothing wrong with Chu Xunya, so he led Shen Mingfeng and Ye Mengchen to the study to discuss matters.

Ye Mengchen had the most say in the matter of finding someone, but in the past two months, there was no news, and nothing but anxiety was in her heart.But there is no way, if that person is still alive, if he is still in the capital, and has not appeared until now, then she is deliberately avoiding him.Just imagine, when she was able to give away her as a baby back then, that person probably didn't have much affection for her...

Thinking of this, Ye Mengchen sighed softly, and listened to the discussions among several people, and responded from time to time without raising any opinions.Because she has used almost all the methods available to find someone, and it is really helpless to come to the third princess to make this deal.

In the end, it was Chu Xunya who gave a suggestion,

"Miss Ye, the search will continue, and the reward for clues will be cancelled. I will set off in a few days, and then you can ask the Taoist priest carefully to see if you can get some new clues. Perhaps, he If you can think of something, if you can’t, let’s make another plan, how about it?”

How else, it can only be like this.

"It's all up to Her Royal Highness to decide."

Putting this matter aside for now, the most important thing at the moment is the trip in a few days. I don't know how long this trip will take, it is a long trip!It may take a month or two just to go back and forth. After thinking about it, Chu Xunya explained the arrangements together and asked the housekeeper to start preparing for the trip.

After discussing all the matters, half a day passed. Shen Mingfeng, a person who couldn't sit still, lost his patience after hearing a few words. He just wanted to slip away, but he accidentally heard the words that he was going to go away for a few days, so he came immediately He regained his energy, sat back with bright eyes, and listened to Chu Xunya's arrangements with great interest, the more he listened, the more excited he became...

After everyone had left, Shen Mingfeng got up, threw himself into Chu Xunya's arms, and waited for a while before asking,

"Princess, princess, are we going on a long trip? Where are we going? Are you taking Feng'er out to play? Princess, you are the best..."

Hearing this, Chu Xunya twitched the corners of her mouth, and instead of answering directly, she replied lightly, "I want to take you on a long trip."

"Really?! That's great! Feng'er can finally go out to play! She can also go to far away places...Princess, are we going far far away? How many days are we going? Can we bring Mother, father, they, and others, Sister Qin'er Ye and the others, and Xiaoguaiguai..."

Shen Mingfeng couldn't be more excited, and immediately counted the number of people she hoped to go out with with her fingers, counting at least ten people.

"I'm afraid they can't go. Only people from our house can go. You, don't mention it when you meet everyone. Our carriage can't hold so many people, understand?"

"Well...then buy a few more carriages!"

"Fool, don't you need money to buy a few more carriages? I don't have that much money and wealth. It's better... you can fully support the son-in-law, so you can really bring everyone..."

"Well... forget it then."

On the second day, there was one day less of the trip that Shen Mingfeng was eagerly looking forward to, and her anticipation in her heart was even more.However, today, the trip she was looking forward to did not happen, but another thing that she was looking forward to happened to come.

Last night, the extremely efficient emperor had already fixed the rewards. Early this morning, Shen Mingfeng and Chu Xunya just got up, and Chief Li, who was ordered to come, had already arrived at the Princess Mansion.

"Princess, Eunuch Li is here, bringing the emperor's reward."

Through the door, Qiangwei respectfully reported the news reported by the steward to her master, and upon hearing the faint response from inside,

"Well, do you want to issue an order?"

"Back to the princess, the steward said that Eunuch Li only brought rewards and no decree."

"Okay, ask the butler to entertain you, and my palace and son-in-law will arrive later." There is no imperial decree, so it's probably a secret reward.After all, that matter was not known to outsiders.

Chu Xunya's hands fluttered, while wrapping Shen Mingfeng's chest deftly around Shen Mingfeng's chest, while distracted from thinking, it was a perfect practice.Shen Mingfeng was shirtless, raised his arms around her neck, swayed back and forth,

"Princess, the reward given to Feng'er by the emperor's father-in-law! What do you think he will reward Feng'er? Is there a lot of money?!"

The son-in-law fell into the money jar with all his heart, thinking that the emperor would reward her with some silver, so as to subsidize her long-dried money bag and money box.Chu Xunya tied up the cloth for her, supported the arm hanging around her neck with one hand, picked up the inner garment on the edge of the bed with the other hand, shook it, and said softly,

"Come on, get dressed."

Shen Mingfeng stopped shaking, stretched his hand in, and let Her Royal Highness serve him. After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Princess, if the emperor rewards Feng'er with a lot of silver, then Feng'er can buy many carriages and Take your parents with you and go out together! Don't you think so?"

The third princess, who didn't want to discuss this topic with her, had to frowned and pondered because of this sentence. After a short while, she came up with an idea and dealt with her first.

"Yes, I'll find out later, come on, put on your coat."

"Ok!"

After getting dressed, Chu Xunya patted her, turned around and took a few steps outside, calling out, "Qin'er, come into the room and wait for the son-in-law to wash up."

"Yes." Qin'er entered the room in response, saluted and walked in.Chu Xunya didn't go in, but went straight out of the room, hooked her hands to Qiangwei at the door, whispered a few words in her ear, watched her nod, turned around and walked out of the yard quickly, and then asked Lily to come in to wait for her to wash.

Qiangwei has been gone for a long time.After a long time, Chu Xunya and the two of them finished washing and went out to the front hall, but she hadn't come back yet.Shen Mingfeng focused all his heart on rewards, so naturally he didn't go back and pay attention to this.On the other hand, Chu Xunya saw that she was full of anticipation, but he didn't realize that he had arranged Qiangwei to go there... I felt amused for a while, but I had to pretend nothing had happened, I was really holding back!

The two walked all the way to the living room without delay.When Director Li saw them, he got up from his chair to welcome them, saluted them,

"The servant sees the third princess and the third son-in-law."

"Eunuch Li is exempt."

Chu Xunya's expression was gentle, and Lala, who was fascinated by the tray covered with red cloth on the table, entered the hall.

After the two entered the hall and sat down, Manager Li gave Chu Xunya a meaningful look before speaking.

"Princess, son-in-law, slave today is ordered by the emperor to reward the third son-in-law for his meritorious service the night before." As he said that, he gave the little eunuch a wink, and the latter lifted the red piece with both hands. Cloth, slowly revealing the items on the tray...

Shen Mingfeng widened his eyes, waiting for the moment when the red cloth was completely lifted.But when that moment came, her heart full of anticipation broke into several petals in an instant.

This is this...

silver!Good... good... less!Books... so many!

Chu Xunya, several maidservants, and even Manager Li all looked at Shen Mingfeng, and seeing her unpredictable expression, they all couldn't help laughing, with a deep smile on their brows and eyes.

There was a brief silence in the hall, and no one made a sound.After the silence, Mr. Li collected his expression and said seriously: "My lord, you have done a great job in saving the empress dowager. After careful consideration, the emperor gave the following rewards: "The History of Da Chu" consists of two volumes, and "The Etiquette of Da Chu" consists of two volumes. , Five volumes of "Book of Songs"...printed silver...ten taels. I hope that the third son-in-law will concentrate on studying, not forgetting the original intention, and as always, the three princesses will be the center, and they will defend the royal reputation to the death, and make contributions to the prosperity of Da Chu."

good.On the tray, there was a thick stack of books several inches high, and next to it, there were two silver ingots...

Shen Mingfeng's expression froze, and her eyes froze as well. Looking at the two unique ingots of silver on the table, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time. There were a few words in her heart, which turned up and down - the emperor's father-in-law, What a sting!

The son-in-law was greatly disappointed. She never imagined that she had been looking forward to so much, and that she would be rewarded with so much hope, that she would tremble like this...

disappointment!Too disappointed!unhappy!Very unhappy!

Shen Mingfeng raised his mouth to the sky, lowered his head halfway, rolled his eyes halfway up, did not speak or answer, and had no good looks towards Manager Li and the others throughout the process.Chu Xunya glanced at her, remained calm, greeted Mr. Li, and sent her away.

It was so unexpected that it was too much, it was normal for Shen Mingfeng to not be able to accept it for a while.Twelve...Twelve taels!No matter how uncomfortable she was, there was nothing she could do.What happened to twelve!Isn't ten taels silver?

Seeing her son-in-law's distraught look, Chu Xunya couldn't help feeling guilty and doubting in her heart: Did I go too far?

This is a problem.However, before she could come to a conclusion, Shen Mingfeng got up suddenly, took a step forward, walked to the guest table, grabbed a piece of silver with one hand, turned around and came back, completely ignoring the pile of books...

What kind of expression was that, Chu Xunya watched her son-in-law's actions with a good eye, looked at her expression, wanted to say something, moved her mouth but didn't know how to say it.

Just when the people in the hall thought she was going to stuff the money into her bosom and sit back, Shen Mingfeng's bulging cheeks shrank, and she walked straight in front of Qin'er, staring at her for a long time, feeling heartbroken and Reluctantly, he said loudly,

"Hey! This young master said that when you have money, I will share half of it with you! Hmph, this young master keeps his word, here are ten taels of silver, and I will give you five taels of silver! Take it!"

After saying that, he stretched out a hand, and spread out his palm, on which lay a five taels of silver, with a dignified look on his face, which made people really unbearable.

Qin'er's eyelashes twitched fiercely with the corners of her lips, her eyes swept across the crowd in the hall, and landed on Her Highness the Princess, seeing the other party nodding back, she immediately stretched out her hand without hesitation, and took the clank The shiny silver ingot was grabbed...
