Daughter of General

Chapter 73 Bestowed by the Emperor

Naturally, the incense table had already been prepared, and when it was lifted up, Shen Junzhi led the members of the Shen family to kneel respectfully, ready to receive the order.

"Following the heavens, the emperor's edict said... General Shen Junzhi was promoted to the first rank and became a minister of the third rank. His wife, Wu, got a set of phoenix coronets, and the wife of the third rank ordered her to wear a set. His ordinary wife, Shen Guo, received two pomegranates." , two pairs of wishful handles, two pairs of bracelets, and one pair of golden phoenix hairpins. Four pieces of brocade..." Eunuch Jing waited until everything was ready before opening the imperial decree, and began to sing loudly.

Obviously, this is the imperial decree.

Mrs. Guo was already stunned - she never expected that the title of Mrs. Gaoming would actually fall on the dead Mrs. Wu.not on her.

However, it was not this that made Guo Shi panic even more, but what Eunuch Jing said next.

"The Holy Majesty said that General Shen's family is weak, so he specially asked someone to choose a suitable woman for General Shen, so that General Shen can spread out as soon as possible! General Shen, the Holy Majesty treats you very well. Ah!" Eunuch Jing patted Shen Junzhi's shoulder kindly, without hesitation.

However, Shen Junzhi was already stunned—but his eyes were firmly fixed on the soft sedan parked beside him.The surroundings of the sedan chair are tightly covered, so how can one see clearly what is inside?
Shen Yulan lowered her head and smiled silently - no one knew better than her what was in the sedan chair.Not only do you know what it is, but you also know some unknown secrets.

Mrs. Guangwuhou is indeed a figure with hands and eyes open to the sky.She just mentioned one thing, and things were handled in such a proper way.

It is really impossible not to admire.

When Eunuch Jing saw that his words made all the members of the Shen family change their faces, they immediately smiled—but that smile was somewhat meaningful.After following the saint for so many years, Eunuch Jing understands the temper of the saint.What is the purpose of sending such a person into Shen's house?Naturally, there is no need to say anything.

Looking at it now, the effect might not be so good.This has such an effect before even the person shows up.The way of a sage has been learned, and I am afraid that I will be very happy.

Among all the people, the one who panicked the most was Mrs. Guo.Guo Shi could hardly maintain the dignity on his face, and his eyebrows were almost grim in astonishment.Afterwards, his face became even paler—that person was bestowed by him, which meant that he could not refuse at all.Even Shen Junzhi himself is unwilling!
But would Shen Junzhi be unwilling?Biting his lip and looking at Shen Junzhi's back, Guo's complexion turned pale again.

Shen Yulan couldn't see Guo Shi's reaction, but she could guess it in her heart -- she was very happy.Not only for himself, but also for the Wu family.

Back then, when Mrs. Wu was waiting for Shen Junyi's letter from his wife, did she feel the same way in her heart?Is it also so embarrassing, uncomfortable, and panicked?

Now, Mrs. Guo finally felt what Mrs. Wu felt.

If Mrs. Wu had a spirit in heaven, would she feel happy too?

Shen Junzhi didn't respond for a long time, and Shen Yulan just smiled and said: "Father, are you so happy and stupid? Why did you even forget Xie En?"

In the dead silence, Shen Yulan's crisp reminder was almost as shocking as thunder on the ground.

Turning around, Shen Junzhi hurriedly gave Eunuch Jing a guilty smile, not daring to delay, and the leader bowed down: "Thank you, Lord Long En." No matter what the saint sent, even if it was poisonous wine and white silk, it must be thanked of.No one can bear the crime of disrespect.

Shen Junzhi felt lucky—fortunately, Shen Yulan was sensible and knew how to remind himself.

How could Eunuch Jing care about this?At the moment, he just smiled: "General, let's arrange the person properly first. What the Holy Majesty means is that although he is a concubine, this person also served in the Empress Dowager's palace. If you want to go back and return to your life, this will not be long."

Shen Jun frowned from the bottom of his heart, feeling a little difficult to handle, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.He just smiled and thanked Eunuch Jing: "Thank you for reminding Eunuch." While saying good things, he sent Eunuch Jing out in person.

Naturally, generous red envelopes are indispensable.

Shen Junzhi sent Eunuch Jing out all the way, and Shen Yulan got up.He walked up to Mrs. Guo with a smile and stretched out his hand: "Why isn't your wife getting up?"

How could Guo-shi have the time to pay attention to Shen Yulan at this time?All her attention was naturally on the sedan chair.

On the other hand, Shen Yushan stretched out her hand and pushed Shen Yulan's hand away without any politeness, and said with wide eyes: "You don't need to pretend to be kind!"

Shen Yulan withdrew her hand, chuckled, and didn't care about these things, just smiled: "Madam, get up and ask someone to get off the sedan chair. Otherwise, she will only be a wife, the head of the house, and she doesn't know the rules."

Guo raised his head, his eyes were burning and almost burst into flames: "Are you happy?"

Shen Yulan lowered her eyes and smiled, her voice joyful: "Why aren't you happy? It's a good thing to take care of my father more than once, and to spread the branches and leaves for our Shen family. Or is it—madam, are you unhappy?"

Naturally, Guo could hear that Shen Yulan was mocking her for not giving birth to a son for Shen Junzhi, her face turned red with anger, and she opened her mouth to curse: "Little bitch. Your mother didn't teach you what is superiority and inferiority. No?"

Shen Yulan's face darkened, and she looked at Guo Shi sarcastically: "Did that wife teach sister Yushan? In sister Yushan's eyes, am I a sister, or a wild girl from the countryside?"

After a pause, she smiled more and more sarcastically: "Besides, although my mother taught me about seniority and inferiority, she didn't tell me to respect a person who wished me to die. Ma'am, when I dreamed back at midnight , will you think of my mother? Will you feel guilty? Will you still remember the incense burning in my house?"

Guo's complexion changed drastically, and there was a kind of panic that the secret was discovered. Although she tried her best to cover it up, how could she escape Shen Yulan's eyes that kept staring at her?

Shen Yulan looked like this when she saw Guo Shi, she was almost certain——Wu Shi's death was absolutely inseparable from Guo Shi!

"What nonsense are you talking about, why can't I understand? Well, I still have a lot to do, and I don't want to quarrel with you." Guo Shi said sharply, but no matter how you look at it, there is a taste of bluffing.And the erratic look in his eyes was even more tinged with a sense of guilty conscience.

Shen Yulan chuckled lightly: "Since my wife doesn't understand, then just pretend I didn't say it." After speaking, she didn't bother anymore, and walked away.

Just a moment after Shen Yulan retreated, Shen Junzhi came back from the outside, his face was solemn, and he didn't know what kind of mood he was in.

Shen Yulan lowered her head obediently, as if she hadn't moved just now.

But Guo Shi obviously couldn't act as if nothing had happened, and his face was still ugly.

However, Shen Junzhi didn't have the time to pay attention to these things, he only hesitated for a moment to pay attention to Mrs. Guo, and walked towards the soft sedan chair.

Every time Shen Junzhi took a step, Guo Shi only felt like stepping on her heart, an indescribably dull pain.He bit his lip tightly and pinched his palm, but he didn't notice it at all.

On the other hand, Shen Yushan exclaimed worriedly when she saw Guo Shi like this: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

The side of Shen Jun's subconscious mind finally saw Guo's face, and felt a little pity in his heart at the moment, he sighed slightly, thought about it but didn't say anything.But he stood still, and after hesitating for a moment, he said to Shen Yulan: "Yulan, go and help Aunt Li get off the sedan chair."

It is naturally a great face for a prostitute to ask an aunt to get off the sedan chair.However, compared to Shen Junzhi asking to get off the sedan chair in person, it is naturally second-class.

However, Shen Junzhi was not confused.If he really went to invite that aunt down, then in the future, this aunt might not be able to restrain her.

Now that it is like this, it is most appropriate for Shen Yulan to invite him down.It will neither be too much nor will it humiliate that Aunt Li.

Shen Yulan responded with a smile, and took another look at Guo Shi, then walked over slowly, facing the knife-like gaze of Guo Shi behind her, opened the curtain calmly, stretched out her hand to the people in the sedan chair, She smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm Yulan. We'll be a family from now on."

A soft and boneless hand rested on Shen Yulan's hand, without using any force, but gently held it back, and then a gentle voice came: "But the eldest lady? It really made the concubine frightened .”

Immediately afterwards, Shen Yulan only felt her hand tighten, and then saw a face as white as jade.It can't be said that it is stunning, but looking at it, the eyebrows are stretched, soft and dignified, which only makes people feel very comfortable.

Such a person, no one would think that he is very cunning.

Shen Yulan just glanced at it, and couldn't help admiring Mrs. Guangwuhou even more.Such a character, just from the inborn point of view, will already make Shen Jun's heart biased, right?With a deceptive appearance and a scheming heart, Mrs. Guo...how long can she hold on?
Aunt Li raised her head and smiled at Shen Yulan, the kindness in her eyes was vividly conveyed.

Even Shen Yulan returned a bright and kind smile.

Under the four eyes facing each other, there is quite a taste that everything is silent.

Shen Yulan knew Aunt Li's purpose and means.And similarly, Aunt Li knew Shen Yulan's purpose clearly.

Aunt Li glanced at Shen Junzhi again, lowered her head, saluted gracefully, her movements were so beautiful that it was almost impossible to pick out any mistakes, as if the person in the painting was pleasing to the eye: "Master."

Shen Junzhi was a little dazed, and then calmed down: "Okay, that's my wife, go and say hello too." He was quite satisfied with this imperial gifted woman.In this way, I lowered my posture and positioned myself as a concubine, which is really very sensible.

Almost unable to help himself, Shen Junzhi stretched out his hand to help Aunt Li.

Aunt Li raised her head and smiled shyly at Shen Junzhi, the faint blush on her face was like peach petals in spring.

Rao Shen Junzhi didn't think he was a romantic person, but he couldn't help his heart.

Shen Yulan stood by the side all the time, naturally seeing Shen Junzhi's reaction clearly.At the moment, my heart was slightly cold, and a wave of disappointment welled up in my heart—but it was quickly extinguished.Without hope, there will naturally be no disappointment.

It's just that my heart is more and more rejoicing for Wu Shi - if I see this scene and know that the husband I have been looking forward to is like this, will it be more uncomfortable than death?
Guo Shi could explain it as another inside story before, so what about Li Shi now?
