Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 285 Preparations ([-])

Shen Quan walked towards Yao Cunhui and Xu Wanzhu step by step. Xu Wanzhu's hand holding the dagger shook again and again, and his teeth rattled. When he was about to move, he found that his hands and feet were weak and he couldn't move at all. Helped away.

Shen Quan whispered softly to comfort Yao Cunhui, the ropes that bound her hands and feet were all broken when Shen Quan pulled it casually, Xu Wanzhu's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly ran towards Du Zhong, helped him and called out "Du Zhong" in a low voice. Brother!"

Du Zhong struggled to stand up, and said to Shen Quan: "They are my brothers after all, if you don't kill me, I will seek revenge from you in the future."

"You just come, I'll follow!" Shen Quan sneered indifferently, suddenly his face darkened, and he said coldly: "You can find me, but you can't hurt Huier, I don't want to hear anything that will damage Huier's reputation. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”

"This kind of villainous behavior, Du Mou disdains it!"

"It's best!" Shen Quan sneered.

Du Zhong snorted and stopped talking, and supported Xu Wanzhu to leave step by step.

"Wait! Where's my brother? Where is he?" Yao Cunhui asked suddenly.

"It's in that cave, you can go and see for yourself." Xu Wanzhu responded by turning her head.

Yao Cunhui's lips moved, but she didn't say anything after all, watching them walk away step by step and disappear before her eyes.

The cave suddenly became quiet.

"Is there any injury?" Shen Quan shook Yao Cunhui's hand.

Yao Cunhui shook his head, and said calmly, "I probably understand what's going on, and you must have thought of it too. Why don't you explain?"

"What is there to explain?" Shen Quan smiled and said: "If I knew that they had captured you, I would kill them too. So many people, if they say something, how will you behave in the future? Alright, Don’t take it to your heart, don’t let your wild thoughts! They have blood on their hands and killed so many people, it’s time to obey the law, this matter has nothing to do with you!”

Yao Cunhui forced a smile, but felt relieved.

In fact, when the general reported to Shen Quan, he said that it was the request of the two female guards in Prince Li's mansion.Anyway, they were a group of bandits, and killing them was doing harm to the people. Shen Quan didn't care about selling a favor to Prince Li's mansion, so he nodded in agreement, and sent 400 troops to order the general to act.Now that I think about it, those two female guards were thinking about Yao Cunhui's reputation, so he should owe Prince Li's mansion a favor, so how could he drag Prince Li's mansion out in front of Du Zhong?
Du Zhong brought Xu Wanzhu to Beijing for revenge. Although Yao Cunhui was used as a bait to force him to show up, he did not spread any unfavorable rumors against Yao Cunhui in Beijing, and did not use any insidious tricks. Just because of this, Shen Quan had a second opinion of Du Zhong He has to be seen, and he is only willing to spare him today.

"By the way, how did you come so fast?" Yao Cunhui suddenly asked with a smile.

Still have the nerve to ask?Shen Quan didn't get angry when he heard that, he gave her a look and said angrily: "When you and Wu Jin went out back and forth sneakily, I was near your house, and I wanted to quietly pick you up to watch the dragon boat race, but I didn't expect —Hmph, that's why I followed behind!"

As he said that, Shen Quan raised his eyebrows and stared at Yao Cunhui with dissatisfaction.

"I asked someone to send a letter to Qianshan! Really!" Yao Cunhui hurriedly confessed with a guilty conscience.

"That's more or less the same!" Shen Quan's face softened with a smile.

The two came to the back of the cave as they said, and they found Yao Shizan lying on the ground with his mouth gagged and bound.Yao Cunhui's heart ached greatly, and she called out "Zan'er!" and rushed forward to rescue her.

"Don't worry!" Shen Quan comforted, and then stepped forward to help her untie the rope quickly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yao Shizan's hands and feet were freed, he exhaled and rubbed his hands twice, and "suddenly" punched Shen Quan's face unexpectedly.

"Hey," Shen Quan laughed, leaning back slightly and easily dodging to the side.Yao Shizan didn't say a word, the second and third punches followed, Shen Quan laughed loudly, and calmly avoided them one by one.

"Zan'er! What are you doing!" Yao Cunhui reacted in shock, and couldn't help scolding Yao Shizan in a low voice, holding Yao Shizan's arm, and staring at him reproachfully.

"I, I thought he was a bad guy too..." Yao Shizan muttered a little guilty, grabbed Yao Cunhui's arm and shook it, and hurriedly said, "Sister, why are you here too? Where are the two bad guys? Are you hurt?" your turn?"

"I'm fine, let's go home!" Yao Cunhui rolled his eyes at him, leaned over and said in a low voice, "I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"

Yao Shizan shuddered violently, facing her elder sister's eyes that seemed to know everything, her expression suddenly became a little more awkward.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave as soon as possible!" Shen Quan said, and naturally reached out to help Yao Cunhui.

Seeing this, Yao Shizan quickly got up from the ground and grabbed Yao Cunhui's arm first, "Sister!"

Yao Cunhui got up with his hands, straightened his hair with a smile, and patted the dust off his clothes. Yao Shizan was delighted, and subconsciously glanced at Shen Quan, who was looking at Shen Quan with a smile that was not a smile. He was a little embarrassed, He wrinkled his nose silently, and said to Yao Cunhui, "Sister, who is this person?"

"I'm your brother-in-law!" Shen Quan said with a funny smile.

"My sister isn't married yet!" Yao Shizan pushed back unconvinced.

"Well, that's coming soon!" Shen Quan touched his nose, not minding his rebuttal.

Yao Shizan suddenly became angry, his small mouth trembled, and he kept his big black eyes open and did not speak.

"Okay, let's go down the mountain quickly! Look at you, dad will scold you when you go back!" Yao Cunhui gave him an angry look, and walked out holding his hand.

What did these two people say in front of her!When she doesn't exist, right?

"Okay! Elder sister!" Although Yao Shizan had been scolded, seeing her elder sister holding her hand, she seemed to treat her more intimately, and she immediately felt happy again. The corners of her eyes slightly slanted, and she glanced at Shen Quan triumphantly.

Shen Quan shook his head helplessly and amusedly, and followed behind their siblings.

After descending the mountain, Wu Jin rushed over and called, "Second Miss, Eldest Young Master!"

Seeing Yao Cunhui's doubts, Shen Quan laughed and said, "I asked him to wait here." Then he said to Wu Jin, "Hurry up and call the carriage!"

"It's already ready, Second Miss, Eldest Young Master, Young Master Shen, please!"

"I won't go, I'll go back on horseback," Shen Quan waved his hand and smiled at Yao Cunhui, "Hurry up and get on the carriage, I'll follow behind you."

Yao Cunhui smiled at him and nodded.Yao Shizan shouted impatiently: "Second sister, hurry up!"

"Zan'er is still young, don't worry about him." Yao Cunhui was a little embarrassed, and after thinking about it, she felt that her younger brother seemed not too young, so she smiled again: "He, he might be scared today, it's not like this usually "Yao Cunhui secretly decided that he must teach this little devil a lesson when he goes back, it's too rude!

"It's nothing," Shen Quan said with a smile, "Your brother and sister must have a very good relationship! Your brother is just like my brother, why would I care about his child?"

Yao Cunhui was relieved, and then left with a smile.

Within a few days, the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion sent a matchmaker to formally engage the Yao Mansion with a dowry.Dowry gifts tied with bright red silk flowers flowed into Yao's mansion one by one. There were all kinds of gold and silver satins, treasure vases, antiques and curios. The long queue almost stretched across a street. In the crowd, everyone pointed and pointed, all marveled at the luxury of the dowry, and envied the good life of the second young lady of the Yao family.

Master Yao was also taken aback. He had expected that the Shen family's betrothal ceremony would not be small, but he did not expect it to be so big that it almost took up no space in the Yao family's warehouse.Looking around, there is a piece of splendor and splendor, with bright pearls.

Master Yao looked at the dowry list for a long time, and then compared it with the dowry list prepared by himself, and hurriedly passed it to the housekeeper, pointing him to add something, otherwise it would be difficult to see.

Mrs. Gu and the fourth aunt put together all the betrothal gifts, feeling shocked and envious in their hearts. The two-foot-tall dragon and phoenix pair candlesticks inlaid with red gold treasures, the pair of bonsai with emerald rubies inlaid with gold, gold inlaid with jade, and red coral Carved maid standing pieces, linked jewelry vases, carved porcelain imitation lacquer vases with thousands of flowers, porcelain jade carved ornaments, chiseled gold and silver tea leaves, forty pieces of various jade hanging accessories, a box of South Sea pearls, a box of gemstones of various colors, each Twelve sets of inlaid gem-inlaid bead head and face jewelry, 120 pieces of top-quality colored satin and brocade silk, etc., including gold and silver alone, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver and thousands of taels of gold. In the box, once opened, it almost burns people's eyes.

Looking at Gu Shi, she couldn't help but sighed with worry: "This time I have to reorganize again. Huier is really lucky. These furniture are enough for her to live for several lifetimes!"

These days, she and Fourth Auntie are busy packing Yao Cunhui's dowry. They must be decent and look good, and they must be well-matched. Had to do it all over again.

"Our second young lady has always been kind-hearted, so it's no wonder she is so blessed!" Fourth aunt also smiled and discussed with Mrs. Gu: "Looking at the betrothal gift of the Shen family, I guess our master will add something more, so why don't we just give it a try first?" Check it out, and pack it together in a few days, so as not to mess it up again!"

Mrs. Gu nodded, "That's fine! After the betrothal gift, the makeup artists from every family will come, I'm afraid there will be quite a few!"

"That's not it," Si Yiniang said with a smile: "Not to mention, there must be quite a few in the Yun family, as well as our eldest lady, who should be back after a while, and a side concubine from the Eastern Palace who has not left the pavilion. She has the closest relationship with our second lady!"

Gu's eyes lit up, and she sighed, "Hui'er's marriage is really decent, and it's not in vain to see what happened!"

In a trance, Gu couldn't help but recall the situation when he brought his daughter who was now out of the cabinet to Yao's house as a guest just two years ago. At that time, Yao Cunhui followed cautiously behind his aunt, and his younger sister was arrogant in front of her. The place where they live is so pristine that even the decent lady in charge of their family is inferior!In just two years, Ma's "sickness" in bed is equivalent to house arrest, while Yao Cunmei's feet are actually confined. The exquisite and well-designed Cuiyuxuan is in the process of being renovated, and it will be Yao Cunhui's latest residence.
