Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 115

Marquis Shen loves Miss Shen very much, and Miss Shen herself is smart, if she really wants to control the fourth prince's backyard, the fourth prince may not be able to do anything about it.

"I heard that the sixth brother often comes to the Shen family during this time?" The fourth prince was silent for a long time before turning his head and asking, Chang Shi was stunned and shook his head: "Your Highness, how do I know that I am not following you to the border to deliver food ?"

The fourth prince pursed his lips, stretched out his hand and tugged at the reins, and headed towards the palace. Chang Shi hurriedly followed: "The sixth prince also took a fancy to Miss Shen? Speaking of which, this Miss Shen is indeed a good candidate, and she is a good person." , smart, needless to say about Lord Shen's power, I'm afraid not only the sixth prince is also thinking about it? We have to act quickly, if we are too slow to act, maybe Miss Shen is someone else's daughter-in-law."

The fourth prince was silent, and Tsuneshi was chattering behind him.At the gate of the palace, the fourth prince got off his horse and walked towards the palace on his own, Chang Shi hurriedly followed.However, after following outside the main hall, you can no longer enter.The eunuch passed the word, and only the fourth prince went in to meet the saint.

"How's the situation at the border?" The emperor put down his cinnabar pen and looked up at the fourth prince, who sat down on a chair beside him: "Of course our army is superior, I'll see, another year or so, this time The war is almost over."

"You did a good job." The emperor nodded slightly, frowned and looked at him carefully: "You said you were injured before?"

The fourth prince nodded, stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder: "It's hurt here, but it's okay, the doctor has already seen it, and the medicine has been taken, as long as you take good care of it, you will be fine in a few days, Father, don't worry .”

He almost got in, and the knife slashed his face.If he really hurt his face and left a scar, then his life will have nothing to do with the throne.Fortunately, fortunately, God bless.

"Have you ever returned to the mansion?" The emperor asked a few more words about the wound, and then changed the subject. The fourth prince shook his head, and the emperor sighed: "There is always no woman in your mansion. The previous Mu family, It's her own blessing, so you don't have to keep it in mind, I'll point out another good one for you later, or, if you like it yourself, you can also tell your father about it."

The emperor has always been very generous, and he will usually agree to which girl his child likes.Even if her status is so-so, she can still be a concubine.It's like the third prince, who liked a girl from a fifth-rank official's family before, but the emperor still made him a concubine.

Before the fourth prince could speak, the emperor said again: "You are not young anymore, your sixth and seventh brothers already have girls they like, and you have told me about them, and you can get married by the end of this year, so hurry up Find one, if you don't know what you like, Father will choose one for you."

"Do the sixth and seventh brothers have someone they like?" The fourth prince frowned, and the emperor nodded with a smile: "Yes, your sixth brother likes the eldest girl from the Shen family, and your seventh brother likes the girl from the Zhao family." Second girl."

The fifth prince is already married, and the child is two years old.

The fourth prince's expression changed, but he quickly pulled out a smile again. If there is something wrong with him at this moment, his father will definitely be able to see it.If we look further down... the cause of the Mu family's girl's death...

"The sixth younger brother actually likes the eldest girl from the Shen family?" The fourth prince couldn't tell what it was like, he didn't like the girl from the Shen family, but since he decided to marry the girl from the Shen family last year, he paved the way. Lu, he has taken care of the girl from the Shen family.

But now the father actually said that he planned to point her to the sixth brother.It's not that I don't regret it, and I'm also a little dissatisfied, but if Miss Shen doesn't have a phoenix life, I don't have to have her.

It's not worthwhile to hurt brotherhood for a woman.

If the girl from the Shen family has Feng Ming, even if she offends the sixth younger brother, she will still get her into her mansion.But let's just give up, because of the girl from the Shen family, the girl from the Mu family...

Somewhat reconciled, but he also understands that if he wants to compete with the sixth younger brother, with Lord Shen's power, the girl from the Shen family will be fine, but he will definitely not get well. On the surface, he said that he likes Miss Shen, and his father also intends to propose marriage, so Lord Shen and Miss Shen's side must be voluntary.

Then, even if two people are in love with each other, if he interferes again, the fault is not on the Shen family girl, but on himself.

Seizing a brother's wife, who would dare to support him to take the position again?
I tried to persuade myself in every possible way, but in the end I was a little unwilling.After a few more words from the emperor, the fourth prince left the palace. Chang Shi followed behind and chattered endlessly: "Shall we find a way to meet Miss Shen? You might as well get in touch with Miss Shen, and when you ask the emperor to marry you , with the help of Marquis Shen, there will be no problem."

"Don't talk about it, don't mention Miss Shen in the future." The fourth prince's face was dark, and Chang Shi was a little surprised. For the girl of the Shen family, His Highness has already... Why did he suddenly change his mind at this moment?
"Father has already decided to give Miss Shen to the sixth brother only." The fourth prince explained, and Chang Shi's complexion also changed: "Could it be that the sixth prince also has..."

"No, I still understand the sixth brother's temperament. I'm afraid he really likes the girl from the Shen family. The girl from the Shen family likes the same as him, and the two of them can talk about it..." Thinking of the time when they were in the palace during the Chinese New Year. What happened, the fourth prince's face changed again, why didn't he make a decision at that moment?
No, Shen Ruyi was only 15 years old at that time, and she was still too young. Even if she made a decision, she might not be able to make a move, so she could only wait.

Who would have thought that the sixth brother and the Shen family were so quick, Shen Ruyi had only reached Ji for more than a month right now?

Since the sixth younger brother is already in love with Shen Ruyi, he can't interfere.The fourth prince took a deep breath. Fortunately, he didn't like Miss Shen very much. He always felt awkward when he saw her. It was God's will that he couldn't be a husband and wife now.

Marquis Shen must win over, and it would be good for Miss Shen to marry the sixth brother.The sixth younger brother has always been on good terms with him, and Lord Shen may be able to favor him a little bit, even if he doesn't favor him, it can be regarded as a help if he doesn't hold back.

Maybe, if I marry Miss Shen, my father will still doubt me.Although the father is not young, he is not in his twilight years. He does not want to abdicate immediately and hand over power. If he is too powerful, the father will not be at ease.

He couldn't marry a girl from the Shen family, so he had to quickly change someone else.The three elder brothers above all have sons, so he can't be too far behind.But, whose girl is more suitable?

What a pity...

Although it is a pity, the fourth prince is not the kind of irrational person, and he will not do anything because of that little reluctance.The most important thing is the throne, it's just a woman, there is no prettier one in the world.

Seeing that the fourth prince's face finally returned to normal, Chang Shi hurried to his side: "Your Highness, what shall we do now?"

"Go back and find someone to inquire about. I'm not too young, and it's time to start a family. In the future, the border will be stable, and I'm afraid I'll stay in the capital. It's not a problem if no one takes care of the backyard."

The fourth prince said in a deep voice, the most important thing is that women can do a lot of things.It's like in the palace, the emperor's grandmother is in front of the father, but she still has some influence. As an adult man, it's not easy to be close to the emperor's grandmother all the time.

"Family background?" Chang Shi asked, and the fourth prince paused: "You don't need to care too much about family background, the key is the girl's character. What I want is a peaceful backyard, not a backyard where chickens are flying around."

Chang Shi responded, sent the fourth prince back, and then went back to the mansion by himself to discuss the matter with his mother.It's better to inquire about the affairs of the girl's family only if the woman comes forward.

"Okay, after lunch, you can do whatever you want, write poetry if you want, read books if you want to read, play cards if you want to play." Shen Ruyi said with a smile, waved her hand, and pointed towards the middle of the yard : "The weather is good today, and the flowers in the garden are blooming well, so I thought, put the dining table in the garden, we can enjoy the flowers while eating, what do you think?"

Liu Mingzhu was very appreciative and nodded immediately: "Okay, that's a good idea. If there is hot soup, I can pick some chrysanthemums and put it in."

"How can unwashed chrysanthemums be put in the soup?" A girl said with a smile: "If Princess Mingzhu wants to eat chrysanthemums, it depends on whether Miss Shen has prepared them."

"There is no chrysanthemum soup, but there are noodles made of chrysanthemums." Shen Ruyi said with a smile, seeing Liu Mingzhu's eyes lit up, she stretched out her hand and pulled her over: "Don't worry, I guarantee that yours is bigger than everyone else's." .”

The sixth princess already wanted to cover her face and didn't want to watch it, she really didn't want to admit that this foodie was her cousin, she was almost thrown out of the capital in embarrassment.

However, with my cousin, my appetite is better, and I can eat a little bit of things that I don't like to eat on weekdays.

A group of girls, if you are close to me, we sit together, if she is close to her, then the two of them sit together.However, your family background is not as good as mine, how can you sit on top of me?
Just arranging a seat took a lot of effort from Shen Ruyi.At their own table, the Sixth Princess is naturally in charge, then Liu Mingzhu, and then Shen Ruyi.

"It's not interesting for us to just eat, so I specially invited people from Jiaofang, do you want to listen to playing the piano?" There is no second choice, and personal hobbies are different. If one wants to listen to the piano and the other wants to listen to books, then she can choose There is no way to adjust it.

"I want it." The girl from the Zhao family spoke first: "But let them play some cheerful tunes, so that they will have a good appetite."

This Liu Mingzhu agrees: "Yes, you have to be happy, but you can't be miserable, otherwise, you won't have the appetite to eat."

"Ruyi, speaking of it, this pot of chrysanthemums in your family looks very familiar." The girl from the Chen family asked in a low voice. Shen Ruyi turned her back to her and turned her head slightly: "Did you see it? It was borrowed by my second aunt." Let me think about the chrysanthemums, who owns this pot?"

"It belongs to the Wang family of Yuejun." Shen Jiamei reminded, and Shen Ruyi nodded hurriedly: "Yes, how is it, is the chrysanthemum blooming well?"

"It's really good. I saw it once in Yuejun Wangfu, and I liked it very much. It's really lucky to be able to watch it again." Miss Chen said with a smile, and then asked after a pause: "I heard , are you good at drawing?"

Shen Ruyi smiled and shook her head: "Then you heard it wrong, my painting, in my father's words, is horrible, not to mention the color, the phoenix can be painted as a chicken. I am not good at painting , is embroidery."

Miss Chen suddenly realized: "I remembered, Madam Shen's double-sided embroidery is well-known in the capital. You must be able to embroider. Do you know how to embroider double-sided embroidery?"

"That's for sure, my mother taught me." Shen Ruyi said with a smile, Miss Chen hesitated for a while, turned around, and said very sincerely: "Then can you teach me? "

Shen Ruyi was stunned for a moment: "Why, you want to learn?"

"Well, to tell you the truth, I was also engaged a while ago. The other party is the eldest son of the prefect of Hangzhou. The embroidery is the most famous in Hangzhou, but my female celebrity is mediocre. If I marry in Hangzhou..." Miss Chen She said with a blushing face, even if the married girl doesn't make clothes for her husband, she still has to make shoes and clothes for her in-laws, and a handkerchief purse for her sister-in-law, right?
Her craftsmanship is not enough to be seen in the capital, but when she gets there, she might not even be considered average.It's okay to be ashamed at home, but in case the embarrassment is thrown outside, will the in-law's family despise her?
"That's it, no problem. If you are free, come here. But, it will take a while, as you know, my grandmother is going to have a big birthday soon..." Shen Ruyi nodded after thinking about it. Embroidery is no secret either.

Miss Chen was overjoyed and nodded quickly: "I know, although you are busy with the old lady's birthday, it doesn't matter to me. When I am free, I will post a post for you."

Liu Mingzhu joined in the fun: "I want to learn too, or I'll come along too?"

The sixth princess stretched out her hand to poke her swollen cheek: "Just forget it, your hand is so stupid that you can't even pinch a needle. You even do needlework. Don't give your fingers away. It's smashed."

Miss Zhao said with a smile: "Speaking of this, I remembered a joke. It is said that once upon a time, there was a pair of sons-in-law and their mother-in-law. At noon, their mother-in-law ordered the eldest daughter-in-law to cook and the second daughter-in-law to make quilt covers.

The eldest daughter-in-law needs to make noodles when cooking, so she took a scoop of water and a scoop of noodles. When she saw it, oops, it was too thin, so she added a scoop of noodles.It’s too thick, add another ladle of water, if it’s too thin, add another ladle of noodles, if it’s too thick, add another ladle of water... Not long after, the noodles in the noodle tank are used up.

What about the second daughter-in-law..."

While Miss Zhao was talking, she was also making movements, pouring water with one hand and pouring water with the other. Even if the joke was not funny, everyone was amused by her movements and laughed.

Shen Jiamei watched from the side with a look of disbelief on her face, and it took her a long time to get close to Shen Yunrou: "Second Sister, this is still eating..."

"Don't talk when you eat or sleep?" Shen Yunrou raised her eyebrows and asked, Shen Jiamei nodded hurriedly. When she was learning the rules, she said, don't talk when you eat and sleep, especially don't talk and laugh at a crowded table Laugh, if you spit out the food in your mouth, then don't even think about getting married.

But now...

"That also counts. For a serious banquet or something, no one will make a sound. But in our chrysanthemum banquet, everyone was invited to have fun. It's okay to talk and laugh during the meal. Besides, Who here has not learned the rules? Will you talk when there is food in your mouth? Don’t speak when you eat, it’s not that you don’t say a word when you eat, but that you don’t talk when you have something in your mouth. Look carefully, but who is talking with something in their mouth?"

Shen Jiamei looked around, shaking her head a little embarrassed, Shen Yunrou lowered her voice, almost whispering: "Every rule counts, and I let you learn the rules to make you look better and behave more elegantly, not to teach you to be Rigid person, look, everyone is talking and joking, you are sitting and eating by yourself, who has the nerve to joke with you? Who wants to talk to you?"

After hesitating for a while, Shen Jiamei nodded: "I understand, thank you for your teaching, Second Sister."

"Family, you're welcome. I'll be fine if you're well." Shen Yunrou said indifferently. After Miss Zhao's joke was finished, the girl from the Wang family next to her suggested again: "I think today's chrysanthemum cake is the most suitable for the occasion." , we usually only write poems about flowers and grass, which is really boring, why don't we write about this chrysanthemum cake now?"

"That's a good idea. Miss Bai is the most talented. Why don't you write a poem first?" The girl from the Song family nodded first, and Miss Bai swallowed the food gracefully, and then said after a pause: "I can't afford to be that." It's a compliment, but all the sisters don't mind it, so I'll give it a shot."

As she spoke, she pursed her lips, looked carefully at the chrysanthemum cakes on the table, and then said, "Sai Xue, kneading jade dust cakes..."

"Good poem!" Miss Wang praised before: "With the sentence of Miss Bai in front, I don't know what I should say. No matter what words and allusions I use, it is a bit too much for Miss Bai's poem." If you're a craftsman, that's all, I won't show my ugliness."

There are those who are modest, and there are naturally those who are competitive. The girl from the Miao family said with a smile: "Although I feel that I can't compare to Miss Bai, I have worked hard to figure it out. Sisters, listen and help me to deliberate."

The atmosphere was mobilized, and Shen Ruyi was able to calm down to eat. Just watching Liu Mingzhu eat, he felt very hungry.
