Chapter 515 The Queen Mother is Displeased
Su Tai spent the whole night thinking about this and came up with the result.
Shen Yi nodded, “Yesterday the maid gave it to the son-in-law after he finished eating, fortunately there was no leak yesterday.”
In order to survive in official circles, one must not only have strong abilities, but also know how to deal with human relationships. Princess Huai'an married into the Shen family because she had taken a fancy to Shen Yuezhang, and she had nothing to do with the Shen family.
However, since she is married to the Shen family, Princess Huai'an doesn't mind giving a hand if she can, but it depends on how capable Shen Yi is.
If the Shen family was so poor that they couldn't even afford a decent banquet to entertain their son-in-law, Princess Huai'an would not have asked Amber to take out these things.
Su Tai also felt fortunate.
"Although we have no intention of seeking personal gain, we still have two sons. Congyu is not to mention, but Congrong is already working at Bo College. You have to work harder for them."
Chen Yi nodded and said with a wry smile: "My original wish was that our family could be together. It would be great if we had a small fortune. Fame and fortune are not that important to me. I didn't expect fate to play tricks on me. Now I can't even stop fighting."
He has to work hard just to give his daughter confidence.
Su Tai continued to read on, and after a while he said, "Now there is a problem. Your son-in-law is in charge of coal affairs. The emperor will not let you work together, and I don't know how to arrange it.
And here in Zhaohua County, everything here was built by you with your hard work. Will you be reluctant to leave when you really leave?"
Shen Yi looked dimly and sighed quietly. It was impossible for him to be reluctant, but for the sake of his family he could try hard.
After looking through all the things and making sure there was nothing special, Shen Yi put them away carefully.
Then the two talked about Shen Yuezhang's dowry.
"I don't even know how much money our family has saved over the years. Wife, how are you going to arrange it?"
Shen Yi didn't even know how much his family assets were, which was embarrassing.
Su Tai smiled proudly, "Don't worry! I have prepared everything for my daughter's dowry, from precious jade, gold and silver to the wood for making furniture. In the next few days, you can ask around to see where there are skilled carpenters and start making furniture now."
In addition to planting fruit trees in the Earth Time and Space, she also planted a lot of wood, which came in handy!
Then I'll sail out to sea and get some pearls, corals, shells and other things. Don't buy too much gold and silver jewelry from the Golden Space! I'll dig up some more ore from the Earthly Space, and it won't be a problem to make a few big items.
These things are valuable and presentable, and there is nothing to be shy about. By piecing them together, they can form a beautiful dowry.
Shen Yi kept this in mind, and then took the things Su Tai prepared back to the county government office.
Within two days, the news that Shen Yuezhang was going to marry the son of Princess Huai'an spread.
Mrs. Peng went to Lu's house early in the morning, looking unhappy.
"I heard that Miss Shen got engaged. How come my sister-in-law didn't even tell me about such an important event?"
Tang heard that Peng's tone was clearly blaming her, and her face turned cold, "Sister-in-law, I told you before that the Shen family had other arrangements for the child's marriage, but you refused to give up. It was not until the day when Princess Huai'an proposed that I knew who Yue Zhang was going to marry!
It's not that I look down on the Tang family. Not to mention the Tang family, even my Lu family can't be compared with the powerful! Why am I telling you all this? To let you compete with the powerful? Or can you change anything?"
Mrs. Peng was speechless and her eyes turned red with anger. She could not compete with the powerful and wealthy, nor did she dare to compete with them, but she was unwilling to give up.
After thinking for a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "The Shen family still has a daughter. We should be able to get married in a few years."
"Puff!" Tang sprayed all the tea in her mouth, and the look she gave Peng instantly became very unfamiliar, "Sister-in-law, are you crazy? I'll tell you again, the Tang family and the Shen family are not a good match, so there is no way they can get married!
Now Miss Shen is going to marry the son of Princess Huai'an. The eldest son of Shen is working at the Imperial Capital Academy, a real minister to the emperor! Even if the achievements of Miss Shen and the second son of Shen are not as good as those of their elder brothers and sisters, they can't be much worse!
Marrying Miss Shen Er is just a foolish dream! "
Mrs. Peng was so angry that she started crying and turned away.
Tang covered her chest with her hands and quickly asked the maid to run to the Tang family to tell her parents and elder brother about the situation. She told them to take good care of Peng, so that she would not cause any disaster and harm others and herself.
As spring comes and flowers bloom, the ice and snow on the earth melt overnight and all things come back to life.
Princess Huai'an also returned to the imperial capital.
She immediately went to the palace to see the Queen Mother and told her about Murong Jue's engagement.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but frown. "How come such a big thing was decided without discussing it with me? The young lady from the Zhao family was an accident before. I have recently found many good girls for Ajue, such as the eldest daughter of the Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion and the county lady of the Lijunwang Mansion. These are all girls with the best family backgrounds and will be able to help Ajue in the future.
I have never heard of this child from the Shen family! Although he has some relationship with the Yong'an Marquis, he is not a close relative after all, so he is of little use!"
Princess Huai'an lowered her eyes, took a sip of tea, and said respectfully: "Mother, because of me, Jue has lost the support of his father since he was a child, and he has been running around at a young age. I have made you proud.
I have not been able to help him in any way over the years, but he has done a lot for me. I know that I owe him a lot, so I am trying to make up for it.
This marriage was his own choice. He liked Miss Shen, and I, as your son, would not do anything to break up a couple.
It is true that the Shen family is not of high status, but Shen Yi is a formally married son. Yong'an Hou has only one godson, who is not his biological son but is better than his biological son. You can see it from the way he protects Shen Congrong.
In addition, the girl from the Shen family also has her strengths. Not only is she intelligent, she is also thoughtful and thoughtful in her work and has talent. Compared with the noble ladies in the imperial capital, she only lacks in vision.
But vision depends on the ability of the husband. It’s good that her vision is limited to where Jue can go. "
The implication is that those noble ladies from aristocratic families have better choices, and they may not necessarily look down on Murong Jue.
Another reason is that the emperor is very sensitive about forming cliques in secret, but she would not tell him this reason.
The empress dowager was very angry when she heard this, but she could do nothing about it. She had to blame the late emperor who had granted the marriage.
After venting her anger, the Queen Mother asked Aunt Gui to bring a box of goodies over. "Since this is the girl that Ajue has chosen and the marriage has been arranged, I can't say anything. Consider these things as a reward from me. You can take them away!"
Princess Huai'an hurriedly stood up and thanked him.
As soon as she left, the emperor arrived.
"I heard that when Huai'an arrived, the Queen Mother gave him a lot of goodies. She's really generous!"
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and held her forehead helplessly, "Do you know about Ajue's engagement?"
The emperor nodded and did not hide anything. "That boy wrote to me, saying that he had a favorite girl and asked me not to match him up with anyone."
