Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 281
On February 26, Mrs. Shen took the whole family back to Shen's residence early in the morning.

Originally, the Shen family didn't plan to go back so early. Shen Zhengqing also discussed with Lu Yange that they might as well live until the Ching Ming Festival and go back after the second brother's term ends.

Who knows, just yesterday, the Zhen Guogong Mansion sent someone to deliver the news.

Today, that is, on February 26th, Duke Zhen invited Concubine Qing to come to propose marriage. The Duke of Zhen wanted to marry Shen Zhengqing, the daughter of the Shen family, as the princess of the Duke of Zhen.

Second Madam Shen originally thought that this matter was unlikely to happen, but she did not expect to be overjoyed.

This Tang Jinming was the best son-in-law in the eyes of the mother-in-law in Beijing, and the Second Mrs. Shen was no exception.

Lu Yange and the Shen family brothers thought more about it. Mrs. Zhen Guo's wife could agree to marry the Shen family, and the queen's empress should be involved in it.

But why did Lord Zhen Guo and Tang Jinming agree to this marriage?
However, if Shen Zhengqing can marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, no matter what happens to the Shen family in the future, the character of the Tang family will protect Shen Zhengqing's safety.

This marriage is indeed a good thing.

The marriage between the Zhen Guogong Mansion and the Shen family was settled very quickly. On February 26, a matchmaker came to the door and had a chat with Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Shen readily agreed to the marriage.

The Zhen Guogong Mansion sent three auspicious days calculated by Si Tianjian for the Shen family to choose, the eighteenth day of October, the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the tenth day of February next year.

In the end, the Shen family negotiated and decided on the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Erfang Dong's expected date of delivery is in June, and by the twelfth lunar month, the child will be five or six months old, and it is close to the New Year.At that time, Shen Zhenghe, the elder brother, will also be able to come back to see his younger sister out, so that the whole family can reunite for the new year.

Shen Zhengqing was about to get married, so there were more things to prepare at home.

Although Second Madam Shen has been preparing Shen Zhengqing's dowry all these years, but before the time comes, there are still many things that are inconvenient to prepare early.Now, Shen Zhengqing is marrying into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion as a concubine, so the dowry will naturally be bigger than originally planned.

In the palace, the empress heard the news, first sent someone to send some rare treasures, famous people came over with calligraphy and paintings, saying that these were put in the dowry for Shen Zhengqing alone.When Shen Zhengqing got married, she prepared some other things for makeup.

Lu Yange even sent three horse-drawn carriages to Shen's residence. The first carriage contained a complete set of hair, unique gold and silver jewelry, precious silk and satin and other things.The last two carriages brought more than a dozen pieces of high-quality huanghuali wood, which were said to be used for making a bed for my cousin, which was not enough for her.

This yellow pear wood is indeed a good thing, and it is usually collected slowly after the family has a daughter.But the Shen family has only been in the house for a few years, and the background is not deep, and the money is not too rich. Not to mention that the Shen family did not have so many huanghuali trees at the time, even if they have enough money, it is still difficult to buy such a neat dozen avocados. .

Even the king of Qin got the news, and sent his father-in-law to a farm outside the capital, with about 200 mu of fertile land, plus a not-so-small Zhuangzi.

These were sent by relatives and put into Shen Zhengqing's dowry, not counting as additions.

On the eve of Shen Zhengqing's wedding, no matter whether it is the empress or the king of Qin or Lu Yange, they will come to add makeup to Shen Zhengqing.

At that time, adding makeup might not be as generous as it is now, but it was just something for face, more or less just a meaning, what you really get is the benefits.Whether it's the Shen family or the empresses in the palace, most of the King Qin's Palace, including Lu Yange, don't care about face.

Because of Shen Zhengqing's marriage contract, the empress in the palace thought of the nanny who was sent to the Lu residence to teach Lu Yange how to behave.

"Let Yan Ge enter the palace and show me how the rules are going."

It was a sunny and sunny day, the wind was high and the clouds were calm, the people in the palace arrived at the Lu residence first, and they heard that Lu Xingge lived in Yiyuan, they didn't come back at all, and rushed to Yiyuan again.

When we arrived at Yiyuan, it was already high in the sun, but Lu Yange was still sleeping in the dormitory with his head buried in the quilt.

"You mean, the princess hasn't woken up yet?" Nanny Chi couldn't believe what she heard.

"Yes, Princess, last night, I read a little late last night, so I got up late today." The speaker was the maid sent by Mrs. Shen to Lu Yangge, evening photo.

"Oh, is that so?" Nanny Chi turned her face, her expression was half a smile, "Does the Princess always turn upside down day and night like this, or does it happen occasionally."

"Slave... I don't know." Wan Zhao stammered a bit, and replied bravely, "The slave came from the Shen residence, and she just served His Royal Highness the Princess."

In fact, she and several other servant girls have been here for a few days.But she can't talk about the princess's bad habits, she likes to stay in bed.

Nanny Chi: "Okay, since the princess is still sleeping, let's wait."

She didn't continue to ask, what the princess did should be in the care of her foster mother, she was just ordered by the queen to invite the princess into the palace, and she didn't want to offend anyone.

That's what Mammy said, but Wanzhao dares to make people wait.

The empress in the palace can wait to summon the princess. To let the nanny wait, isn't it just to let the empress wait.

Wanzhao ordered people to serve tea, and then winked at the little maid who was standing beside her, and she was reluctantly relieved when the little maid retreated cleverly.

"You said the Empress sent someone to pick me up into the palace?" Lu Yange was still a little confused when he was woken up by the clear sky.

"Yes, princess, please get up quickly, the mothers in the palace are still waiting." Qing Kong was worried, but she didn't dare to show it, but before she woke up the princess, she had already prepared the hot water. Water handkerchief.

Lu Yan's fan was woken up in a daze, and she combed her hair and changed her clothes. It was already lunch time when she finished her work before entering the palace.

"Why did you come here?" Empress Shen waved at Lu Yange with a loving face, "Yangge, come here, auntie, see if you have grown taller again."

"Auntie, I'm not a child anymore, I shouldn't grow up." Lu Yange walked over according to his words, and a court lady had already brought a brocade stool and placed it under the empress.

"Bullshit."

Empress Shen smiled and held Lu Yange's hand, "At least a few more years, but your current height is enough, but you are still a little thin, eat more."

Lu Yange raised his hand and pulled the tender flesh of his cheeks, and asked vaguely: "Auntie, look, this is called baby fat. I'm not thin, but a little fat."

Empress Shen laughed amused by her, and patted her arm lightly: "Let go quickly, seeing your tender face, it's all red from being pinched."

After Lu Yange sat down properly beside her, Empress Shen continued to ask, "How about the Nanny Wu I sent you?"

Lu Xingge paused for a while, she hadn't even seen Madam Wu, so how could she know what she was like!
Seeing that Lu Yange didn't speak, Empress Shen thought that she didn't like to learn the rules, so she deliberately said: "Don't bully Madam Wu because she has a good temper, so don't learn the rules."

Lu Yange pouted: "How could I bully Madam Wu?"

Now Madam Wu was ordered by the empress to teach her how to behave, she was afraid that it would be too late, so how dare she bully her.
