Chapter 929 Shan Mancheng’s Gift
Shen Qingqian blinked. This person's Dajin dialect was not very standard, and she didn't know many foreigners. Could he be Shan Mancheng's man?
Before she could speak, Wa Tuci stood up and said, "Chengji sent Wa Tuci to give Sixth Miss a winter gift. I hope Sixth Miss will not despise it."
"Chengji is the king of the Jiayu tribe," Sheng Ze suddenly spoke, looking at Shen Qingqian with doubt in his eyes.
How did my wife get to know the Jiayu people?
Ling Yun did not mention anything about Shan Mancheng, and Sheng Ze knew nothing about Shan Mancheng at this time.
Shen Qingqian turned her head and whispered to Sheng Ze, "I'll tell you about this later." Then she smiled and said to Wa Tuci, "You are a guest from afar. Please come in and have a cup of tea. We can talk about other things later."
When foreign tribes jointly invaded before, Shan Mancheng also sent people to report the news and brought back sweet potato seeds. It is not known whether they have grown them.
Wa Tuci was not polite either. He had been traveling for almost a month and his warhorse had died on the road. He was starving and in urgent need of replenishing his strength.
The other members of the Shen family had not returned yet, and Shen Qingqian had to entertain Wa Tuci, so she could only let Sheng Ze stay with them in the main hall.
"Remember, try not to speak. I'll be back soon." Shen Qingqian whispered before leaving.
After Shen Qingqian left, Wa Tuci spoke.
"You must be our Chengji's cousin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Dajin." Seeing that no one was in the room, Wa Tuci bowed respectfully to Shengze, "Wa Tuci greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Sheng Ze pursed his lips and said, "No need to be polite."
Wa Tuci stood up and said with a hearty smile, "Thanks to the generous gift of grain from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, our tribe has been able to avoid starvation in such drought conditions. Chengji specifically instructed Wa Tuci to thank His Royal Highness upon seeing him."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can now be considered a great benefactor of the Jun clan, and Wa Tuci also feels that he should thank him properly, but strangely, the gift Chengji asked him to bring was only for the Sixth Miss, and no one else.
"Oh, by the way, this is a letter from Chengji to you." Wa Tuci took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Shengze.
The letter was written on sheepskin. Looking at the thick scroll, Sheng Ze was surprised, but he managed to keep a calm face. He said to Wa Tuci, "Please sit down."
He put the parchment letter into his arms, picked up the tea that Shen Qingqian had just poured, lowered his eyes and said nothing more.
The two of them were almost staring at each other. Wa Tuci felt a little embarrassed and said something to make conversation, "Chengji praised the customs and people of Dajin and often thought of the people and things here, especially the Sixth Miss. Chengji would laugh every time he talked about it. He also said that if the Sixth Miss could come to our grassland, it would be a blessing for the Jiayu people. I wonder if the Sixth Miss is engaged now?"
At first, Sheng Ze didn't react much. He just wanted to ask Shen Qingqian about this matter later. But after hearing what happened next, his face suddenly darkened.
Just as Wa Tuci was saying, "If the Sixth Miss is willing to marry into our Jiayu tribe, we will definitely prepare the best betrothal gifts," he felt the hairs on his body stand up. When he raised his eyes, he saw Sheng Ze staring at him coldly.
"Uh, did I say something wrong?" Wa Tuci asked stupidly.
Just as Sheng Ze was about to speak, Shen Qingqian came in with a tray.
"Wa Tuci, eat these fruits and pastries first, dinner will be ready soon." After Shen Qingqian finished speaking, she looked at Sheng Ze and gave him a wink.
She meant for Sheng Ze to treat them well, but Sheng Ze thought that she was also thinking of Shan Mancheng and was so polite to the people sent by him. He suddenly felt even more aggrieved and looked at Shen Qingqian eagerly.
