Chapter 1676 The Emperor Treats Her Specially

Old Madam Shi pursed her lips and stepped back subconsciously, "I haven't offended the princess, I won't leave!"

She nodded again, "Yes, why should I leave? Your father is my son. It is only natural for a son to take care of me in my old age. Xiangjun, don't worry. I don't want to marry a high-ranking official. I don't want to cause you any trouble. I just want to live a good life."

Shi Xiangmei knew that she would definitely have to leave this time, but as long as her grandmother was there, she would have another chance in the future.

She also echoed, "Yes, grandma didn't offend anyone, why did you let grandma go, you didn't deliberately want to take the opportunity to drive her away, did you?"

Shi Xiangjun glanced at her coldly, "It's my duty to support grandma, but, grandma, you've seen that the capital is not a place like our countryside. If you want to live a peaceful life, don't have any bad thoughts, otherwise you might accidentally offend someone you can't afford to offend, and die without knowing how."

Old Mrs. Shi shrank her neck in fear. "No, grandma is so old, don't you understand this?"

What Shi Xiangjun is afraid of is that she will take advantage of her age. What will she do when she is old?
Even though he is older, he is not as good as a three or four-year-old child.

But she was already very content to be able to get rid of Shi Xiangmei. As for the old lady, she was just a dog-skin plaster and could not be gotten rid of so easily.

"Since my cousin wants to leave, it's not safe for a girl to stay at home, so my elder brother..."

"He won't leave." Old Lady Shi said quickly, "Why would he leave? He worked well with your father and didn't offend anyone. It's just that the job is hard. Your father didn't think of a way to get him a less busy job. You know the emperor and the princess, it's just a matter of words."

Shi Xiangjun smiled.

Old Mrs. Shi also relaxed a little. "Xiangjun, he is your cousin. If he really has a good job, our Shi family will be proud in the future. Your father is like this, I am afraid he will not be able to pass the exam again. You...you will marry a good family in the future, but if your family is weak, no one will support you, right?"

These words seemed to be for her benefit, but Shi Xiangjun knew very well that they were just paving the way for Shi Kaiwen.

"Grandma, you're right. I do know of some less busy jobs."

"That's right, what's the job?" Old Mrs. Shi smiled with wrinkles all over her face.

Shi Xiangjun curled her lips and said with a smile: "From the palace."

Mrs. Shi became even more excited. "This is good. There are many opportunities to meet noble people."

"Eunuch!"

"Bullshit, how could you let your cousin become a eunuch? How can you pass on the family line? How can you be so black-hearted?"

Shi Xiangjun shrugged her shoulders and said, "Grandma, you can't want this and that. Besides, if you want to continue the family line, don't we still have Kaiyue?"

"You...how can you be the same?"

Shi Xiangjun would indeed not let Shi Kaiwen become a eunuch, as that would only cause trouble. She was just teasing the old lady, but it seemed that she still had this idea in mind.

They come one by one, and she is not in a hurry anyway.

Now that Shi Xiangmei, the biggest nuisance, is gone, at least she can have some peace and quiet for a few days. These days, when she was reading, she was always chattering beside her, which was too noisy.

After Shi Ce and Shi Kaiwen came back, they heard the news and no one objected.

Shi Xiangmei wanted to ask Shi Ce for help, but seeing his cold attitude, she didn't say anything else.

As for Shi Kaiwen, he hoped that Shi Xiangmei, this trouble, would leave as soon as possible to avoid getting in trouble for his marriage to a noble lady from the capital.

Taking this opportunity, Shi Xiangjun also reminded Shi Kaiwen, "Brother, you have seen that this is the capital. Although you think it is extremely wealthy, you have to think carefully. If you take a wrong step, it is good to be able to retreat unscathed. The bad thing is that you will lose your life."

Shi Kaiwen nodded repeatedly, "My sister is right. I am not as brainless as Xiang Mei. I don't have such big ambitions. I don't want to marry a princess or a princess. I will just find a similar official lady."

Shi Xiangjun remembered that he didn't say that before.

But never mind. Even if she was a daughter of an official family, how could she marry so easily?
"Kaiwen is still sensible. Third brother, you have to treat him well."

Then Mrs. Shi took the opportunity to remind Shi Ce to find him a better job.

Although Shi Ce's words were not as sharp as Shi Xiangjun's, he did not beat around the bush. He told his mother directly that this was all Shi Kaiwen could do at the moment.

If you want a good job, you have to work hard. It's absolutely not okay to do it like you are doing now.

Shi Kaiwen seemed to want to say something, but was suppressed by a look from Old Lady Shi.

There are too many things happening today, and we can’t make the father and daughter angry.

Let’s wait a few days.

Shi Kaiwen was quite obedient, so he didn't say anything else and just responded perfunctorily.

In order to avoid any further complications, Shi Xiangmei left early the next morning.

However, Shi Xiangmei was not quiet that night. She first asked Shi Xiangjun for some things, but after looking around, she found nothing good except books.

Although Shi Xiangjun learned some skills from the wife of the Grand Tutor, her family did not have any of the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Even if they did, they would be of little use to Shi Xiangmei, and she would find them too heavy to sell.

"Don't you have anything to show for yourself?" Shi Xiangmei asked.

Shi Xiangjun put down the book, knowing that she would not be able to read tonight, so she simply put the book down and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Gold and silver jewelry, pearls and jade. I have come back to the capital after all. You can't let me go back empty-handed, right?"

Shi Xiangjun knew what she meant. She wanted to take it back to show off to others. It could also be said that it was the last time she took something. "No."

"How is that possible? Where are you hiding?" Shi Xiangmei asked, pinching her waist.

"Really? You must have searched this house many times. How can there be any gold, silver or jewelry?" Shi Xiangjun smiled bitterly. "To me, these books are treasures, but you don't look down on them."

"Baby, what the hell? You are so familiar with the emperor and the princess. I don't believe they haven't given you anything."

"Where is the thing the emperor gave you?"

Shi Xiangjun shook her head. "It's just the books. I still have to return them."

"Where's the princess?"

"Give me something to eat!"

"Are all royal family members so stingy?" Shi Xiangmei asked.

Shi Xiangjun smiled bitterly, "It's not gold, silver, or jewelry that are the real wealth. The things in the books are treasures that no one can take away from you."

She shook her head, afraid that these cousins ​​wouldn't listen.

"Don't tell me these lies. It's okay without the silver, Xiang Jun. The emperor treats you very well. He must have given you a lot of things!"

Unusual?
Shi Xiangjun really didn't know where this came from, but she thought about it again, and it seemed... it seemed, a little bit.

But isn’t it because of Luan’er?
