Shen Yong smiled and took a step back, "Sisters-in-law, go in and take a look. I'll wait for you in the yard."
After saying that, Shen Yong turned and left the room.
After seeing Shen Yong leave, the women of the Shen family couldn't wait to take off their shoes and walked into the cloakroom.
Cao Huixian walked to the wardrobe and excitedly took out a bright red dress from it.
The neckline of the dress is embroidered with a butterfly pattern using golden silk thread, while the hem is embroidered with golden auspicious cloud patterns and embellished with gems, making it look gorgeous and charming.
"Oh my god, this is so beautiful."
Cao Huixian took the dress, walked to the floor-length mirror, leaned against it and gestured, sighing constantly.
Madam Shen reached out to help pull the hem of the clothes, her eyes full of admiration, "The workmanship is quite good."
"Even the ladies in the imperial palace might not be able to get a dress made by the Xie family's embroiderer."
It is said that it takes several months for an embroiderer from the Xie family to make a piece of clothing.
It was obvious that the seventh brother had emptied out the Xie family's inventory of several years to get so many dresses for them at once.
Lu Man pointed at another set of Xianggong-colored palace robes in the closet and exclaimed,
“This one is so grand.”
Cao Huixian looked over and immediately put down the dress in her hand and took out the set that Lu Man mentioned.
This palace gown made of Hunan red satin is embroidered with large golden-red peonies, with delicate outlines drawn with fine silver thread, which makes it look elegant and luxurious.
"Sixth sister-in-law, look at these shoes, they are so exquisite." Meng Yunfei looked at the shoes on the shoe rack with bright eyes.
A pair of cherry blue embroidered silk palace shoes are both elegant and gorgeous; and aqua green double-disc rain boots are also exquisite and extraordinary...
Cao Huixian put down her dress and looked at the shoe rack in front of Meng Yunfei.
A group of women chattered as they crowded in front of the shoe rack, pointing at each pair of shoes and commenting on them.
After admiring the shoes, I went to look at the various small gold bags on the shelf next to it...
Shen Yong sat in the living room for half an hour before the women of the Shen family came out of the bedroom with excited faces...
......
As the women of the Shen family were looking forward to it, the sixth day of October finally arrived.
Sun Ren and a group of servants stood guard at the door, registering the gifts brought by those who came to congratulate.
Zhang Wenyuan led the Golden Armored Army to store the precious gifts carefully selected by everyone, including antiques, treasures, calligraphy and paintings, silk, etc., into the warehouse.
Shen Yong and Old Madam Shen sat in the main seats in the main hall, and the six sisters-in-law sat beside them in order.
The living room, which can accommodate 200 people, is already bustling with activity.
"Congratulations, Your Highness, on your new home! Your Highness is highly respected and has made outstanding achievements. It is truly a blessing for the royal family to move into a new residence. May Your Highness be blessed with great fortune in your new home and may your family prosper."
After Prefect Liu presented the gift alone, he smiled and said a lot of congratulatory words.
Chen Yong smiled and said, "I thank you Lord Liu for your congratulations. It is a great honor to have you all here today."
Magistrate Deng smiled and stood up, saying, "I have arranged an opera. Your Highness, please move to the Grand Theater."
Shen Yong looked around, smiled and waved his hand.
"Okay, everyone, follow me to enjoy the opera."
Everyone followed Shen Yong, admiring the beautiful scenery of the palace and chattering and complimenting Old Madam Shen.
Mrs. Xie held Mrs. Shen's hand and kept talking all the way, making Mrs. Shen smile all the time.
The girls from the Xie family chatted with Chen Yong's six sisters-in-law in a very tactful manner.
The women's conversations were mostly about how they maintained their skin so well, which flowers were in full bloom, and when they could go burn incense together...
All the important people from Qianhuang City and Bailong City came to congratulate the housewarming party.
The aristocratic families in Bailong City mainly follow Magistrate Liu.
Governor Liu has already gone to Qianhuang City to offer congratulations. If they don't go, wouldn't that be tantamount to openly opposing King Qianhuang?
You are risking your life by daring to offend others.
The refined salt they sell is all provided by King Qianhuang. They can offend anyone but not the God of Wealth.
.......
"What are those people doing outside beating drums and gongs?!"
Qu Yutang stood up with the help of the wall and stood on tiptoe to look towards the small window in the cell.
After eating whole grain buns for so many days, he can hardly hold on any longer.
The cell was filled with a foul, foul and fishy smell that was simply irritating.
The chief officer raised his drooping eyelids and said weakly,
"Celebrate, what else can we do?"
“Hey~~”
"Maybe, by the time we get out, the weather will have changed."
It has been so many days, and Chen Yong has forgotten about them.
Normally, if you catch someone, you have to interrogate them.
But they were lucky. After they were arrested, no one asked them any questions.
A whole grain steamed bun was delivered every day without fail.
Give them a definite answer whether to live or die.
What does it mean to keep dragging it on like this? It's really tormenting.
The personal guard leaned against the cell wall and listened carefully.
"Could it be that Shen Yong is preparing to send troops?"
There were a lot of footsteps and horse hooves sounds outside, as well as the sounds of various drums. It sounded like they were boosting morale and preparing for war.
"You're going to die." The chief officer glared at the personal guard.
"We are prisoners now, and you keep calling me... Your Highness. Are you trying to save your life?"
Qu Yutang looked at the chief officer speechlessly, but did not say that he was wrong.
In the first few days, they kept shouting Shen Yong's name in the cell.
As a result, the prison boss didn't bring them any food or drinks for two days.
Originally, they disliked the whole-grain steamed buns because they were too hard to eat, but later, when they were almost starving, they begged the prison boss to give them a whole-grain steamed bun.
No matter what, there is hope as long as you live.
If you starve to death in a cell, it would be a miserable death.
The personal guard pursed his lips, looked at the resentful eyes of the officials, and did not say a word of rebuttal.
He was happy to talk, but it caused everyone else to have nothing to eat, and in the end everyone still resented him.
"Alright." Qu Yutang glanced at everyone helplessly, "Stop arguing."
“Now it’s time…”
Before Qu Yutang could finish his words, the cell door creaked open.
The jailer walked into the cell with a group of jailers, carrying food.
"You are lucky today. The prince is very happy and has rewarded the whole city."
"Hey, two meat buns for each person, and white rice porridge for today."
To celebrate the prince's new house, he set up 66 porridge stalls in Qianhuang City and distributed meat buns and rice porridge to the people.
The prince said that he would treat everyone in the city to a meal, of course including those in the cell.
Although he didn't want to give meat buns and rice porridge to these ungrateful people, he didn't dare to really not give them.
After delivering food to these people early, he still had to go to the gate of the palace to grab copper coins.
I heard that the prince prepared 10 large baskets of copper coins and scattered one basket every hour.
Only a fool wouldn't pick up money.
