Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 94 Give Your Daughter a Dowry!

Everyone was in an uproar. Originally, Shen Linghan only gave a few handkerchiefs as gifts. They thought it was because the Shen family was down and out and had no money, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Although the colored glaze and emerald jade bracelet is not the best, it is still worth a few hundred or a thousand taels. If you really want to give it as a gift, you can buy any gift after selling it, and you don't have to come here with a few handkerchiefs.I heard before that Shen Linghan had a vicious mind, but now it seems that it is true.

Whoever has such a daughter would be so sad, no wonder the Shen family fell into ruin so quickly!
Shen Linghan bit her lip, glared at Shen Ninghua full of hatred, withdrew her arm suddenly, turned around and ran out, the discussions around her wanted to drown her out, how could she have the face to stay here.

The guard at the door saw someone rampaging and wanted to stop him, but Shen Ninghua stopped him.

Su Shi glanced at Shen Linghan's back in disgust, and stepped forward to check Shen Ninghua's hand: "You don't know what kind of character she is? But her hand was injured?"

Shen Ninghua moved her fingers slightly, and there was a bright red mark on the back of her hand, which was obviously scratched by her nails: "It's okay, after all, they are sisters. Bai Bao, wrap up the bracelets, and ask the dining room to prepare a table of wine and vegetables, and send them to the outskirts of the city." .”

"Yes, ma'am."

"The princess is really a lot of adults."

"That's right, Shen Linghan clearly came here to make trouble on purpose, the princess not only didn't care about it, but also gave him a big gift, really worthy of being praised by the emperor."

"I have long heard that the first thing the princess did when she came out of the palace was to take over her grandmother to take care of her. Such a woman is extremely filial."

The emperor has ordered Shen Ninghua to break away from the Shen family. Even if Shen Ninghua doesn't care about the Shen family's affairs, she is justified, but she insists on expressing her filial piety. This behavior makes many wives of aristocratic families find it very pleasing.

"Young Master Chu sent a congratulatory gift." The voice of the announcement interrupted the discussion in the room instantly, Young Master Chu?Shuangjue son Chu Junyi?
Everyone looked over curiously, but waited for a while, but no one came in.How is this going?

Shen Ninghua was also surprised, ever since Chu Junyi said that he would prepare a gift for her that day, he never showed up again, and he didn't know what he was up to.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance slowly entered the tip of the nose.This is the scent of peonies...

Although it is now February, winter jasmine and plum blossoms are already in bloom, but peonies will never bloom in this season.

There was finally movement at the door, a row of maids walked in with a pot of blooming peonies in their hands, quietly put them on the ground and walked out lightly.

"That's Wei Zi and Yao Huang, the King of Peony..."

Immediately afterwards, another row of maids came in, carrying precious Phalaenopsis orchids, and placed the flowers on the ground like the previous maids, and then Rhododendrons, Splendid Orchids, Pansies, Begonias... the whole yard was full of flowers, For a time, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and the beauty is alluring.

Shen Ninghua walked to the door and stood surrounded by hundreds of flowers. Her usual calm and indifferent eyes were full of surprise. Although she never showed it, she liked flowers, especially flowers with bright colors and elegant shapes. This gift from Chu Junyi It was sent to her heart.

Everyone followed Shen Ninghua out of the hall to admire the surrounding flowers.

A slender figure came in from the door. He was dressed in black, with a belt embroidered with gold and silver threads of the same color around his waist. He had a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and a handsome appearance.

Chu Junyi didn't care about everyone's surprised expressions, but only looked at Shen Ninghua seriously.

Seeing that pair of quiet eyes stained with a little smile, I was instantly happy.

"I have seen the princess, I don't have any expensive gifts, I can only collect some flowers as gifts for the princess."

Shen Ninghua looked at his smiling face, and smiled back: "Thank you, Mr. Chu, this gift is really special." This kind of thought can no longer be described with the word precious.

Chu Junyi bent his eyes and said in a deep voice, "It's as long as the princess likes it."

He had a smile on his face, but all kinds of thoughts were surging in his heart.When he was in Jiangnan, he discovered that Shen Ninghua liked flowers. When he knew that her wedding ceremony was about to be held, the first thing he thought of was to send her a yard of flowers as a gift.

It's just that the weather is cold now, and flowers in the north are rarely open, so he sent people to Yangcheng in the south of the Yangtze River to pick the best flowers and carefully transport them over.

Although the instructions were careful, something happened on the way. After all, the weather in the north is too cold. Even if there is a greenhouse, it is not suitable for these delicate flowers.Some boats had accidents while transporting flowers, so he had no choice but to rush over there himself, and after exhausting all his efforts, he sent all these delicate guests to the princess mansion.

Although tired, seeing Shen Ninghua's sincere smile standing among the flowers, he suddenly felt extremely worthwhile.Especially at the moment when she looked at him, he was even willing to bring all the beautiful things in the world to her, as long as he could make her smile.

Chu Junyi trembled, and silently recited Amitabha Buddha in his heart, color is emptiness, color is color, and beauty is really misleading.

Shen Ninghua hurriedly told Bai Ping to send someone to send these flowers to the greenhouse, and it would take a lot of effort to transport them from Yangcheng, and she felt sorry for any damage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come to the banquet. The banquet is over. If you like it, you can go to the conservatory and choose a potted flower to take away."

"Thank you, Lord."

"It's really nice."

Shen Ninghua's banquet was extremely thoughtful, no matter how picky people were, it was difficult to pick out the slightest dissatisfaction, so everyone was convinced and accepted a lot of this princess.

After the banquet was over, many people went to the greenhouse to choose their favorite flowers, and left happily, before leaving, they kept praising Shen Ninghua.

After seeing off the last guest, Shen Ninghua turned around and supported Su Shi: "Auntie, you are tired today."

Su helped her tidy up her clothes, and there was warmth in her eyes: "When your mother was still around, she took care of me a lot, but now that she's gone, I naturally want to help her take care of you. This is what it should be, don't The division with aunt is so clear, after a while, your younger brother Xuanhua's coming-of-age ceremony, I want to invite you, the princess, to attend, so don't refuse."

"Naturally." Knowing that Su's sincerely helped her, Shen Ninghua stopped saying polite words, and only kept this kindness in her heart.

After Mrs. Su left, she ordered everyone to clean up the hall before returning to Ruixi Hall to rest.

Bizhu came in with a thick account book: "Return to miss, this book records the congratulatory gifts received today, please have a look at it."

"Just put it here, you are tired too, go back and rest."

"Yes, ma'am."

Shen Ninghua opened the account book, the records were very detailed, and the various precious treasures could almost dazzle people's eyes: "As expected of a big family, this financial resources are really rich."

Chu Junyi jumped in from the window, patted his clothes and walked to her: "Does Ninghua like these vulgar things, or do you like the flowers I gave you?"

Looking at his smiling face, Shen Ninghua just didn't want to make him happy: "Although flowers are beautiful, they can't be eaten as food. These gifts are all real silver. After conversion, it should be worth 10,000+ taels."

Chu Junyi's smug smile froze on his face: "Not to mention the gifts from the palace, they can't be sold at all, and the gifts from the ladies are all official styles, and they can't be exchanged for silver. It's better to wait for our Huajun Medicine Store to come if you want money."

Shen Ninghua chuckled, her beautiful face became more and more attractive: "Of course I know this truth."

"Then you still like these vulgar things. When you have money, what do you want to see... huh? You were kidding me just now?" Chu Junyi squinted his eyes, pretending to look at her dangerously.

Shen Ninghua smiled more and more happily.

Chu Junyi hummed slightly, and sat down on a chair beside him to drink tea: Shen Ninghua seldom smiled so happily, so it was not in vain for him to work hard to play dumb.

After a long while, Shen Ninghua stopped smiling, and felt relieved, and her troubles disappeared: "Did you go to Jiangnan these days?"

"Well, there were some problems when those flowers were shipped over, so I went to deal with them, and took a look at the development of Huajun Medicine by the way."

"Is Huajun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. doing well?"

"With the reputation of disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River, and the title of imperial business bestowed by the emperor himself, there is no obstacle to the smooth journey."

Shen Ninghua nodded: "Then I'll wait to collect the money."

"Wealth obsessed! Don't even look at it. Now in the capital, is there any lady who is richer than you?" Just today's congratulatory gift, as a commoner, it would take a few lifetimes to spend.

"Who thinks too much money?"

Chu Junyi suddenly smiled softly: "Yes, when you get married, these can be used as dowry."

Shen Ninghua raised her eyebrows: "As a dowry?"

"Yes, now when your dowry follows you to your husband's house, you can leave it to your daughter as a dowry when you give birth to a daughter."

Shen Ninghua sneered, and somehow answered: "Then what if you have a son?"

Chu Junyi was taken aback, and then coughed: "Then have another one in two years, until the daughter is born, and continue to give these things to the daughter as a dowry."

Shen Ninghua laughed angrily: "I don't even know what to say. My daughter's dowry is all paid by me. So what's the point of marrying or not? It's better to live with these gold and silver and be free."

Chu Junyi choked up, and sighed secretly in his heart: "It seems that I have to work hard to earn money."

Shen Ninghua glared at him: "What's none of your business?"

"I'm a loner, and it's better than others to have the support of my parents. I want to make money to give my daughter-in-law a dowry, and I also want to make money to save a dowry for my future daughter. If I don't work hard, won't my wife be unable to return home?"

Shen Ninghua's ears turned red, and she immediately suppressed her: "Hurry up and go back, stop talking nonsense here. If you want to marry a wife, some people will come to your door, and your sister is very precious to you."

"Sister, Xiao Huanxi?" Chu Junyi hurriedly explained, "Ninghua, I want to assure you that I am very innocent. A sister is a sister, and she will not become anything else."

Shen Ninghua frowned, and when she moved a cuff, she pinched a handful of powder on her fingertips: "If you don't leave, do you want me to give you something before leaving?"

Chu Junyi got up quickly: "No, no, you're tired and go to bed early, and I'll leave right away." It seems that in the future, he will not only work hard to make money, but also learn medical skills!
