After being read into his mind, he became the beloved uncle of the country.

Chapter 52: The dowry that cannot be given!

Wenxitang.

Mr. Shen Si was listening respectfully to Mr. Li's words.

After being away from home for several years, this meal is indispensable.

"Give me an accurate answer, when will we get married?"

When Mrs. Li saw that her son had not responded after she had said something, she was so angry that she just slapped the table and stopped talking about it. Instead, she used her trump card.

"Mom, don't be in a hurry!"

"When my son comes back this time, he has already decided to participate in next year's Spring Examination!"

"really?!"

After hearing what her youngest son said, Mrs. Li didn't care whether her son was married or not.

"Mother, could my son still lie to you about this kind of thing?"

"Okay, okay, okay. As a mother, you know that my son has great ambitions!"

"In that case, you can rest assured Wen Shu, and leave all other matters to your elder brother and the others!"

"Mother, my son doesn't care about anything."

Mr. Shen Si is a little embarrassed. He hasn't been back for several years. When will it be his turn to take care of family matters?
  However, Li didn't care about this.

That night, the Shen family held a rather grand reception banquet, much grander than the one given to Li Yifu, the uncle of the Li family.

At the same time, the county magistrate Feng Ye also held a small fatigue banquet at the county government office for Wang Deshun, the eunuch who passed the order.

The rules are here. Ou Feng didn't dare to go too far, and neither did Wang Deshun.

After all, there was also a team of palace guards accompanying him this time.

The palace guards are all selected from noble families. They share weal and woe with the royal family and Dayong, and their loyalty to the emperor is unquestionable.

Every time an imperial edict leaves the capital, these palace guards also shoulder the responsibility of gathering information from all over the world.

After returning to Beijing, each of them had to write a memorial and report everything that happened along the way to the emperor.

No matter the details!

Including food and drinks on the road, the price of each dish!

Perhaps it was precisely because of these rules that paid special attention to details that the emperors of Dayong had a clearer and deeper understanding of the situation outside the palace.

Emperors, only if they know what is going on outside the palace, they will not become deaf or blind, and they will be able to govern accurately, and will not be deceived by the courtiers, and become a fatuous king who eats minced meat.

"Master Ou, have you ever seen this seventh girl of the Shen family?"

At the wine table, Wang Deshun asked the question that he had been thinking about and couldn't figure out.

He couldn't figure out why the young ancestor of the Xie family fell in love with the girl of the Shen family?

"Well, I'm not afraid of angels' jokes. I've never seen the seventh Miss of the Shen family before!"

"The Shen family is a first-class wealthy family in Liucheng, a kind family. Although the ladies and ladies in the family often go to the streets to give soup and do charity, the rules are really rules."

"Then this is really weird!"

Wang Deshun couldn't figure it out.

In fact, Wang Deshun is the only one who can't figure it out?

The number one scholar Zheng Siqian and his mother Zheng Wangshi who arrived in the capital also couldn't figure it out.

He just felt that Xie Zian was targeting him!

Shen Yunyao was engaged to him and was his childhood sweetheart. Although the two had broken off their engagement, as the son-in-law of the Xie family, Xie Zian wanted to marry Shen Yunyao. This was to deliberately embarrass him!
  "Son, those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters!"

"The unbearable is unbearable!"

“What adults can’t do!”

"Mom, I know you feel uncomfortable, but you can't lose your sense of proportion or lose your mind!"

Mrs. Zheng saw that her son's expression was not good, so she could only try to persuade him.

"Son, it might be a good thing to think about this from another angle!"

"If the young master of the Xie family marries such a daughter-in-law, he will definitely not be favored by the Xie family."

"Your father-in-law is now the head of the Xie family and the current imperial advisor. With his protection, your future is destined to be prosperous!"

"Don't worry about short-term gains and short-term gains, think about the long-term!"

Prince Zheng comforted Zheng Siqing with heartfelt words.

It's a pity that Zheng Siqing couldn't listen at all.

If it were before, he might have thought that his mother was right, but now, he just felt that his mother was so annoying.

If it hadn't been for the fact that his mother had been whispering in his ears about the bad things about the Shen family, he wouldn't have accepted Miss Xie so easily when he met her.

Now, can this marriage still take place? He wasn't even sure.

But his mother is still talking about it! "enough!"

Zheng Siqian suddenly shouted.

The sound was so loud that Prince Zheng was startled.

"Mom, please stop saying a few words!"

"My son is rude, please don't take it personally!"

Zheng Siqian looked embarrassed, said a few words, and left.

Mrs. Zheng sat there blankly, knowing that she was blamed by her son.

"Heartless!"

"Who am I doing this for?"

"I'm sorry for my painstaking efforts..."

Prince Zheng also felt aggrieved.

In her opinion, she took great credit for her son to get the top prize in the exam. If she hadn't been giving advice, how could her son have gotten the top prize in high school?

Moreover, it was the son's own decision to terminate the engagement with the Shen family.

Now she is blamed for everything!

However, although Prince Zheng was aggrieved and resentful, there was nothing she could do.

Now, she can only rely on her son to survive.

If her son doesn't take her seriously, then when the spoiled eldest daughter of the Xie family gets married, she, the mother-in-law, will probably be left aside and no one cares about her!

"what should I do?"

Prince Zheng was a little anxious.

……

Liucheng, Shen family.

After the reception banquet.

Shen Shen called his three younger brothers to the large study room in the front yard.

"Fourth child, tell me, when are you going to start a family?"

The eldest brother is like a father.

After Mr. Shen passed away, Shen Shen, as the eldest brother, had to worry about what he should worry about.

"Brother, I'm going to pass the exam today!"

Mr. Shen Si smiled and talked about his plan.

When Mr. Shen San heard what his younger brother said, he was immediately surprised and said: "Fourth brother, are you going to end up too?"

"What? Third brother is going to end too?"

Mr. Shen Si was also quite surprised.

Although he had not been in Liucheng in the past few years, he also knew that his third brother had neglected his studies and wandered around brothels all day long, and had gained a reputation as a romantic.

"Your third sister-in-law said that if I fail to pass the high school entrance examination today, she will make peace with me!"

"Why?"

"Third brother, what's going on with you and your third brother and sister?"

After hearing what Master Shen San said, both Shen Shen and Master Shen's expressions changed.

"I do not know either!"

Mr. Shen San had a depressed look on his face, "It used to be fine, but since brothers Zhengdun and Zhengyi were born, everything has changed. I don't know why!"

"Third brother, there is an old saying among the people, that is, three feet of ice does not freeze in one day!"

Mr. Shen Si said calmly, "Perhaps Sister-in-law Three has always changed, but you haven't noticed it!"

"impossible!"

Mr. Shen San said it was wrong.

Mr. Shen Si chuckled and said, "Third brother, Yunyao is your daughter. Do you remember her birthday?"

"I……"

Mr. Shen San was speechless for a moment.

Mr. Shen Si sighed and said: "Third brother, there is something I should have told you earlier. In fact, before I left, I once said that I would give Qi Yatou a unique dowry!"

"It's a pity that plans don't change as quickly as they do!"

"Now that the seventh girl has been granted marriage by His Majesty's decree, I can't even give her a share of the dowry!"
