Chapter 115 Shen Zexi is imprisoned
And it wasn't just Meng Jiyao who put in the effort. All the students in the girls' school put in their best ideas and made a very beautiful dress.
This was the female students' expression of gratitude to Shen Shixu. They had nothing else to give, so they could only make something by hand to express their gratitude.
Since the establishment of girls' schools, many women have found their own new world.
The young ladies from officials' families became more knowledgeable and were no longer confined to the rear quarters. They started their own businesses and cooperated with girls from ordinary families.
One party provides money and connections, the other party provides brains and strength.
They know that even if they change now, it won't be achieved overnight, and they can't raise the status of women to the same level as men all at once, but they can do it slowly.
Now they have to prepare a way out for themselves and the women in their future. With a way out, they will have the confidence. When they encounter injustice in the future, they can follow their heart without any worries.
It was impossible to become an official in the court now, but it was possible to do business or something else, so they started a business.
Unexpectedly, their business is doing very well. They are doing business related to women and they really think about issues from women's perspective.
Whether it is clothes, jewelry or rouge and powder, they are all very popular.
Some people saw that their shops were doing a booming business and wanted to make some moves, but those girls had strong backing and they could not be bullied.
In addition to working in the store, girls from ordinary families also hold some shares, which was proposed by Shen Shixu.
With shares, their cohesion will be stronger. The store is also theirs, so naturally they have to work hard.
After their efforts paid off, everything was moving in a good direction, so they naturally wanted to thank the people who made them better.
So they took advantage of Meng Jiyao's wedding to prepare a gift for Shen Shixu.
After Shen Shixu took the package handed over by Meng Jiyao and opened it, he found a very exquisite set of clothes inside.
The material of the clothes is brocade, the blue and white color is as pure as the sky. When Chen Shixu unfolded it, he saw the hem of the clothes, which was embroidered with mountains and flowing water with blue-gray silk thread.
There was a pure white girdle around her waist, tied with a silver chain. The sleeves are narrow white sleeves, but they are covered with a layer of blue brocade on the outside, which makes them neat and elegant.
There are also light blue shawls on both shoulders that look like capes, with tassels that are darker blue than the shawl, and silver chains that look like branches and leaves. The silver leaves made of silver make rustling sounds when she moves, like silver bells.
Shen Shixu liked this dress very much, “Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Princess, I like it very much.”
Seeing that he really liked it, Meng Jiyao smiled and handed him the second package, "Here are the matching shoes and tiara. Also, we will be a family from now on, so there's no need to be so polite. Just call me Jiyao."
But Xiao Yuanqi said at this time: "It's not okay to call you by your name. You have to follow Jin Yi and call you sister-in-law. Of course, there's also me. Don't always call me Your Highness, Your Highness. Just call me Big Brother. This way it seems closer."
Shen Shixu couldn't hold two packages, so he handed one to Xiao Jinyi and asked him to hold it for him.
"I see. Thank you, sister-in-law, for the gift."
Princess Qingyang and Princess Huimin also saw the clothes just now. They were really beautiful. I wonder how good such beautiful clothes would look if they were worn on a handsome man like Shen Shixu!
"Lord Shen, could you go to the side hall and change it and show it to us?" Princess Huimin had met Shen Shixu before and was more familiar with him than Princess Qingyang. She was not one to beat around the bush, so she asked directly.
Xiao Jinyi also wanted to see what Shen Shixu looked like in this outfit, so he pushed him to the side hall, "I want to see it too, can you put it on and show it to me?"
The Queen Mother and the Empress were also looking forward to it. "Ah Xu, go to the side hall and change into it. Let us take a closer look."
Seeing so many people saying so, Shen Shixu went to the side hall with his clothes, shoes and crown. Xiao Jinyi wanted to go with you, but was driven out.
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Shixu changed into that outfit and put on the hair crown again, then walked out step by step.
At that moment, everyone was stunned. The clothes really complemented Shen Shixu. He looked like an immortal from heaven.
As she walked, the tassels and silver chains on her body swayed together. Her eyebrows were sharp and her eyes were starry, as if there was a sea of stars in her eyes. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail and secured with a blue crown. When she walked, the ponytail swayed with her, adding a bit of agility to her fairy-like appearance.
The rosy thin lips were slightly curled, looking so captivating that Xiao Jinyi felt like his soul was about to be hooked away.
Emperor Wu An looked at Shen Shixu, the handsome young man, and felt that his cold-blooded son was really not worthy of him.
Queen Lin saw through his thoughts, and while the children were surrounding Shen Shixu, she moved closer and said, "This marriage is well granted. Such a good child is now ours."
Emperor Wu An was delighted when he heard this. Yes, once the marriage was granted, such a good child would become theirs.
Not only was this marriage not wrong, it was an especially good one.
After looking at Shen Shixu for a while, the crowd dispersed. If they didn't disperse, Xiao Jinyi's eyes would be able to penetrate them.
Emperor Wu An still had some government affairs to deal with, so after drinking the tea that Meng Jiyao offered him and sitting for a while, he left and returned to the imperial study.
Queen Lin also had a lot of things to deal with. After all, they would have several wedding events in the next period of time, and as the queen she had to keep an eye on them, so she left as well.
The Queen Mother didn't want to keep them confined, and since she was a little tired, she let them all go out and play.
As soon as Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi left Cikang Palace, they saw Bai He running over anxiously, "Master, something big has happened. Just now, Xiao Shitou from your house ran over and said that Master Shen has been imprisoned!"
When Shen Shixu heard this, he asked anxiously, "What's going on? Why was he imprisoned for no reason?"
Bai He took out the letter that Xiao Shitou had given him and gave it to Shen Shixu. After Shen Shixu read it, he understood what was going on.
The girl who was engaged to Shen Zexi died, and Shen Zexi was suspected of being the murderer, so he was sent to prison.
Shen's father wrote to Shen Shixu, asking him to go back quickly to save his brother, fearing that if it was too late, Shen Zexi's life would be in danger.
Xiao Jinyi stood behind him and saw clearly what was written in the letter. He ordered Bai He, "Hurry up and prepare the horses. We will go to Minglu City immediately."
Shen Shixu was so anxious that his whole body began to tremble, fearing that something might happen to Shen Zexi!
