Jiang Shiyuan had no choice but to dress up and come out to entertain the guests.
"Hello, Lord Marquis. Please take a seat." Jiang Shiyuan politely saluted Lord Shen.
As for the matter of "adopted daughter", Jiang Shiyuan did not take it seriously in order to stop people from talking about it, so he politely called her "Marquis".
Chen He was wearing a straight robe and his hair was neatly combed. It was obvious that he had tidied it up before going out, but he couldn't hide the fatigue between his brows.
Chen He noticed that Jiang Shiyuan's voice was different and asked with concern: "Are you sick? It's getting cold in the morning, so you should keep warm."
His voice was gentle, as usual, like that of a kind elder.
"Thank you for your concern, sir." Jiang Shiyuan thanked him politely.
Seeing that Chen He was hesitant to speak, as if he had something to say, Jiang Shiyuan went straight to the point and asked, "What does the Marquis want to talk to me about?"
Chen He nodded, picked up a brocade box half the length and width of his arm from the low table behind him, and said, "This is the dowry that the Marquis's Mansion gave you. All the farms and shops will be transferred to your name. You have known Lv Chu for ten years. The Shen family is grateful for your care for Lv Chu. This is given to you voluntarily by the Shen family. You can keep it with peace of mind."
Jiang Shiyuan didn't say anything and just listened quietly.
Chen He's eyes flashed with regret again: "Lü Chu can't always be with you, and our Wenyuan Marquis Mansion is not lucky, but..."
Chen He hesitated for a moment, and said helplessly: "Shi Yuan, can you go see me again? I have been locking myself in the study and not seeing anyone..."
"Sorry." Before Chen He could finish, Jiang Shiyuan interrupted: "I can't."
"My Lord, I am not only the eldest daughter of the Jiang family now, I also have another identity."
She didn't have time to be someone else's pearl bird. She had already chosen Pei Che and chosen to rest for him, so she couldn't give her attention to others.
Lord Shen paused and said apologetically, "I spoke out of turn."
Lord Shen stood up to say goodbye. Jiang Shiyuan thought that they would probably not meet again in the future, so he still thanked him.
"Although I saved Shen Luchu's life, I later caught a cold. The Marquis had someone send me the white sandalwood pills to relieve me from the pain. Now he has given me half of his property. We are both grateful to each other. The Marquis does not need to feel sorry, and do not be uneasy because of me, an orphan."
Chen He was stunned, "Bai Tan Wan?"
Jiang Shiyuan also looked at him in confusion, "Even the palace medicine storehouse doesn't have the valuable white sandalwood pills. The Miao family, a famous medical family in southern Yunnan, has white sandalwood pills. They are the most effective in dispelling cold and resisting wind. Doesn't the Marquis know this?"
Of course Chen He knew that Shen Luchu committed suicide by falling into the water. Although he was rescued, he suffered from a severe cold after getting ashore. The Wenyuan Marquis Mansion had been looking for this white sandalwood pill, but couldn't find it after searching all over the capital. After using all his connections, he finally heard that the leader of the Miao family in southern Yunnan was doing business in Jingzhou, 800 miles away.
He set out overnight to rush to Jingzhou, but was still a step late.
The white sandalwood pill that Master Miao carried with him was taken away by someone.
I heard from the owner of the seedlings that the man was extremely pious. He came in the snow and wind, ceded two medicinal gardens in Jingzhou at all costs, exchanged the medicine, and left in the snow overnight.
"I did ask for two white sandalwood pills back then, but unfortunately, I was too late and the medicine was taken away first. I asked for other medicine and came back with a portion of the cold medicine that the Miao family master prepared for you."
Chen He said, and then opened the brocade box in his hand, and said: "The things you returned before, there is a scroll in it, don't you think I'll give it to you."
"Your parents' achievements and battle reports from various places are confidential documents of the imperial court, and ordinary people cannot touch them. The rumors about your mother's reputation are far away in the northwest, and it is extremely difficult to collect them without a personal visit."
Chen He returned the scroll that contained the story of Jiang Shiyuan's parents to Jiang Shiyuan.
Jiang Shiyuan stood there in a daze, his heart as if it was filled with raging waves.
Wasn't it given to her by Lord Shen?
The transcribed scroll was sent together with the New Year's gift from the Wenyuan Marquis's Mansion.
The white sandalwood pills were also delivered to her door by someone from Wenyuan Marquis's residence late at night. She also said that Lord Shen cared about her very much and sent her the medicine again after the first delivery.
Jiang Shiyuan had numerous doubts in his mind. He opened the book again and carefully read the words on it, trying to find some clues from them.
But she found nothing. She had read the handwriting on the scroll countless times, and the handwriting on it was very unfamiliar.
If not Lord Shen, who else would it be?
Is there anyone else who cares so much about her safety and understands her long-cherished wish?
Wen Yuanhou, who came out of the general's mansion, was also thinking about this question.
Who is that person who takes advantage of the name of Wenyuan Hou Mansion to take good care of Jiang Shiyuan?
I still remember that year's snowstorm, which blocked the mountains and ridges, making it difficult to move. My carriage was in danger several times on the way from the capital to Jingzhou. If I hadn't brought many guards with me, I would never have been able to reach Jingzhou smoothly, let alone travel at night.
They were also curious about who this person was, so they sent people to listen. They found out that the two largest medicinal gardens in Jingzhou were priceless, and the Miao family had been waiting for several months but had not been able to take them down until that person showed up.
Those two medicine gardens belong to the Pei family in the capital.
I still remember that after returning from Jingzhou, my tribe was in turmoil for a few days because the dedicated Grand Tutor was strangely absent from government affairs.
Three days later, Pei Taifu went to court again. The documents he submitted were finally reviewed and returned, and the handwriting on them had changed.
Pei Taifu didn't know why his right hand was injured and he couldn't even lift a pen, so he could only use his left hand.
The handwriting was exactly the same as the one on the scroll just now.
That person must be Master Pei.
Marquis Wenyuan was thinking about it, and just as he walked out of the gate of the general's mansion, a carriage stopped in front of him, the curtain was lifted, and Master Pei, who was as heavy as a frost on a mountain, bowed and got out of the carriage.
An indifferent and solemn man, holding a basket of round little oranges in his hand.
The bright color is a bit abrupt, but also just right.
Wenyuan Hou bowed in greeting, Pei Che nodded, and the two men passed each other without saying much.
Pei Che strode into the general's mansion, and Chen He heard from the people in the general's mansion that "the young lady has just fallen asleep after taking medicine." '
Pei Che said: "It's okay, I'll wait for her to wake up. '
The voice was tender and different, as if confirming Chen He's guess.
It's over.
Chen He also got on his carriage and returned to Wenyuanhou Mansion.
"Chen He, who allowed you to divide the family property with others! I won't allow it!" A woman pounced on him with a sharp voice.
Chen He said calmly, "Princess, I'll give you half of the remaining property, and we'll get divorced."
This is something that should have been dealt with twenty years ago, but 놆놛 was so indecisive that it ended up like this.
Princess Wenhe was stunned, and her violent and resentful expression suddenly turned into tears: "Chen He, how could you do this to me? I am the jewel in the crown of the royal palace, and I married you, why have you always ignored me?"
Chen He didn't want to say more, because he had made it clear before getting married 20 years ago that he had no interest in her, and even if she forced or induced him to marry him, nothing would change.
The only person I feel sorry for is Chen Luchu. I should have taken him away by force at the beginning.
Chen He came to Chen Luchu's study and pushed the door open.
In the study, Shen Luchu buried his head, mending a yellow paper talisman.
The talisman was too wrinkled, so I spent several days repairing it. It is finally almost fixed.
Chen He went over and snatched the top scholar talisman from Chen Luchu's hand.
"No need to cultivate, you have no chance. You can't be as forbearing as Master Pei. At least you can learn to help. I have been helping you for the past three years."
