Chapter 169 Choosing a New Home
It has been several days since I returned to the capital from Zhoushan. Perhaps because the news that Prince Xiang and Prince Rong were both punished spread, no one dared to anger Emperor Sheng at this time, and the capital was particularly peaceful.
On the sixth day of February, the Anyang Earl's Mansion invited a matchmaker to formally visit the Dingguo General's Mansion, and the two families finally began the marriage process.
Shen Jiasui, a girl waiting to get married, didn't need to worry about these things, but she also had her fair share of worries.
At this time, the sunlight shone through the carved window lattices and fell on the desk in the room.
On top of it was an exquisite basket, and inside the basket was a tangled mass of fine silk threads.
Several silk handkerchiefs were placed next to the basket. They were made of the finest silk, which was soft and smooth to the touch and shone in the sunlight.
But they are all wrinkled now. Not to mention the mandarin ducks playing in the water, even the flowers in the corners are embroidered in different sizes and strange shapes, showing the poor embroidery skills of the person who did it.
Shen Jiasui: “….”
As the saying goes, every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses. Shen Jiasui is an expert at wielding swords and guns, so what if she can't embroider?
Thinking of this, Shen Jiasui pushed the basket aside and leaned lazily on the low table.
At this time, Bai Ji came in excitedly from outside and handed the letter in her arms to Shen Jiasui, "Miss, Aunt Zhou has sent another letter."
Shen Jiasui immediately perked up upon hearing this, and couldn't wait to open the letter and read it.
Aunt Zhou got the news very quickly. The letter was to congratulate her. Shen Jiasui read it from beginning to end and saw the three words "Lu Yunzheng" at the end.
It turned out that Lu Yunzheng had returned to the Lu Mansion several times during these days, but he had not caused any trouble or looked for any problems. He just went to look for Mrs. Lu.
Aunt Zhou's spy reported that Lu Yunzheng seemed to have shed tears in front of Madam Lu, but he didn't say much.
It looked as if he was extremely filial and knew that he loved his mother so much that he went back specifically to accompany Mrs. Lu.
When Shen Jiasui saw this, he instantly understood.
There is no such thing as great filial piety.
Under her and A Xun's guidance, Lu Yunzheng finally discovered that something was wrong with Gu Xizhi. He realized that he had been deceived and went back to Mrs. Lu to seek comfort.
She still knew Lu Yunzheng.
He was truly sincere to Gu Xizhi, and now that he realized that Gu Xizhi had betrayed him, the resentment and confusion in his heart outweighed everything else, and he was determined to catch Gu Xizhi with his own hands.
The news of Prince Xiang's imprisonment had spread a long time ago. I don't know how A Xun convinced Lu Yunzheng, but he actually believed it.
Now we just have to wait and see whether Lu Yunzheng can live up to his expectations and defeat Gu Xizhi.
The water was getting deeper and deeper. After two lifetimes, she finally felt that she had finally reached the bottom...
Shen Jiasui was lost in thought, holding the letter in his hand. Bai Ji reached out to tidy up the basket for his young lady, and saw the crooked stitches on the side, and he was no longer surprised.
This handkerchief will be given to the new son-in-law in the future, as long as he doesn't mind it.
The room was quiet for a while, until Bai Shuang, Ji Wan's maid, came and said with a smile:
"Girl, the carriage is waiting at the second gate, we can set off now."
Shen Jiasui suddenly came to his senses, looked at the sun outside, and realized that the time had come.
Jiang Xun selected several houses in Beijing and planned to buy one to be his and Shen Jiasui's new home.
Ji Wan was very supportive and had already gone to see the girl. It was agreed that when she had seen enough, she would send a carriage to pick her up.
“Here it comes!”
Shen Jiasui first hid the letter carefully, then looked at himself in the mirror, but before leaving, he suddenly turned back.
"Girl, what's wrong?"
Baiji was waiting on the side, thinking that he had forgotten something, but he saw Shen Jiasui picking and choosing in the basket. Suddenly he pulled out a handkerchief, crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into his sleeve.
"Let's go."
.......
The carriage drove all the way to Ningtian Street, and the surroundings became much quieter. Shen Jiasui lifted the curtain and looked around carefully. Suddenly, he saw a tall and graceful person waiting by the roadside in front of him.
Shen Jiasui's eyes lit up instantly and he stretched out his hand to shake it.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Shen Jiasui jumped off impatiently.
"Years old."
Jiang Xun came forward with a smile on his face, followed by Nan Feng and Bei Feng.
"Is this the place?"
Shen Jiasui looked up and saw the words "Jing Mansion" written on the plaque.
Jiang Xun nodded, and as he led Shen Jiasui inside, he said with a smile: "This family was originally a merchant from the south. They have been in Beijing for some time. The old man in the family is old and can't wait to go home, so the family returned to their ancestral land."
"I have checked, and they are indeed a good family that is always kind and harmonious. Now it depends on whether they can please Sui Sui."
Shen Jiasui felt a little happy when he heard these words, and then he heard Jiang Xun continue to say:
"Antian Street has fewer people and is quiet outside. It has the big yard and study room that Suisui wants."
Jiang Xun remembered Shen Jiasui's words carefully and recited them one by one.
Shen Jiasui felt warm in his heart and tilted his head to ask, "Where's my mother?"
Jiang Xun pointed to the right front, his eyebrows curved unconsciously, "Aunt is in the main courtyard, she said she wanted to see... where the wedding bed is placed."
After these words were spoken, not only Shen Jiasui, but Jiang Xun himself also blushed.
Baiji and Baishuang were tactful. They had already gone ahead to look for Ji Wan, not daring to disturb their own young lady.
Shen Jiasui followed Jiang Xun all the way inside. When they passed a moon cave gate, she suddenly plucked up the courage to take something out of her sleeve and handed it to Jiang Xun.
“Hey——”
Jiang Xun paused and took it with curiosity.
At this time, Shen Jiasui said quickly: "Let me show you first. Be prepared. In the future, all the handkerchiefs you receive will look like this."
Jiang Xun had already unfolded the wrinkled handkerchief, his eyes fell on it, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he said seriously:
"Ah - it's mandarin ducks playing in the water. It's so beautifully embroidered."
Shen Jiasui: “….”
"Don't brag too much, this is a pair of flying wings together."
Jiang Xun: “….”
It was a bad idea.
He was just thinking about how to make amends, but Shen Jiasui nodded with satisfaction, "At least you can tell it's a bird, Xun. So my embroidery skills aren't as bad as mother said!"
She stretched out her hand and was about to take back the ugly handkerchief, but she saw that Jiang Xun had already quietly stuffed it into his own sleeve.
Shen Jiasui: “….”
"You want ugly things too?"
Jiang Xun shook his head, "Not ugly."
Shen Jiasui grinned, "That's great, I have a basket of them in my room, I'll give them all to you, one a day, no duplicates."
Jiang Xun nodded happily. He couldn’t cherish it enough since he had embroidered it himself every year!
When Shen Jiasui saw Jiang Xun's worthless appearance, he felt amused and proud at the same time. He held his head high and walked towards the main courtyard with a heroic and confident look.
Jiang Xun raised the corner of his mouth and hurried to follow, but he waved his sleeves so quickly that the handkerchief slipped out of his sleeves and fell to the ground.
Bei Feng had sharp eyes and saw it first. He hurriedly took three or two steps forward to pick it up. When he unfolded it, his brows furrowed.
"What the hell? A bird with a broken wing?"
Nan Feng came forward, took a closer look, and shook his head, "This is clearly a chicken pecking at rice!"
Shen Jiasui, who returned with Jiang Xun: "......"
