Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 81

"It is said in "Mencius" that wild Jiuyi should be asked for help, and the country's tithes will be given by themselves. What's the explanation for this sentence?" His Royal Highness asked, and the corners of Shen Ruyi's mouth twitched. You are a prince, asking a girl. Is the issue of family taxation too out of line?

"I do my own divination, and I have to return to my sister's hexagram..." Before Shen Ruyi could answer, the sixth prince started talking about something else. Once or twice, Shen Ruyi could still control herself not to answer, but the number of times was too many, the sixth prince said something else. She couldn't agree with some points of view, so she couldn't help but refute a few words.

In the end, he even asked the sixth prince questions that he couldn't understand in the past. From one person's question to two people's discussion.

When Lord Shen came back, what he saw was the scene of the sixth prince and his daughter in harmony. He reached out and touched his chin, and Lord Shen looked between the two of them.The sixth prince politely got up and clasped his fists: "I have seen Lord Shen, and I was rude for not posting the post in advance. Please don't take offense, Lord."

Lord Shen waved his hand casually: "It's okay, Your Highness the Sixth Highness is here, but do you need me?" Before the sixth prince could speak, Lord Shen turned his head to look at Shen Ruyi again: "Go outside and ask Hongyu to bring tea in, you Go back by yourself, it's already this time, your mother is still waiting for you to eat, right? Tell your mother, you two will use it first, and the sixth prince and I will use it in the front yard..."

The sixth prince hastily declined: "No need, I'm just here to borrow a book..."

"How can you let the sixth prince go away hungry?" Lord Shen Hou chuckled, and then told Shen Ruyi: "Just ask the big kitchen to bring the dinner here. You take care of your mother. Dinner, walk around the house, and then hurry to rest."

Shen Ruyi hurriedly responded, saluted and turned to go out.Before walking far, I heard Lord Shen's laughter: "Your Highness the Sixth Highness is so polite, just tell me what book you want later, and I will help His Highness take it there, don't bother His Highness to go there personally .”

"Don't dare to trouble Lord Shen, Lord Hou is busy with government affairs, I am just a small matter, Lord Hou don't need to take it to heart." The sixth prince said with a smile, and then Lord Shen said something, but Shen Ruyi didn't listen It was too clear, she opened her mouth and breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the plum trees in the yard, and walked towards the main courtyard with a stomp.

After entering the main courtyard, she saw Shen Yunrou pinching Madam Shen's legs again. Shen Ruyi took off her cloak and handed it to Nanny Chen, and said with a smile, "Why is Second Sister here? Is dinner ready?"

Shen Yunrou shook her head with a smile: "Not yet, I heard that there are guests in front, and I thought that the eldest sister might not have time to accompany my mother, so I came over to have a look and talk to my mother, eldest sister, who is the guest in the front yard? "

Shen Ruyi laughed, could it be that Shen Yunrou really didn't know who the guest was?Asking such a question is just to open up the topic.

"It's the sixth prince. He wanted to borrow two books from his father, but I didn't know where my father's books were, and I couldn't rummage through his study, so I didn't dare to agree. Now that my father is here, I will let him handle it by himself." .”

Shen Ruyi said nonchalantly, and Shen Yunrou rolled her eyes: "Sixth Prince? So it's him. I heard that the Sixth Prince loves books like his life. I think he came here because he heard that Daddy has good books here. Sister , how does the sixth prince look?"

It has been less than a year since the sixth prince left the palace to build a mansion, and Shen Yunrou has never seen him. In previous years, the old lady would never bring Shen Yunrou with him when he entered the palace.

"It's okay, gentle and gentle." Shen Ruyi said with a smile, raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Yunrou: "Have you met the fourth prince?"

Shen Yunrou nodded hurriedly: "I've seen it a few times before, the fourth prince is very tall and handsome."

"Well, the sixth prince is about a head shorter than the fourth prince, and five points similar in length to the fourth prince, but his face is paler. Because the sixth prince is in poor health, he looks a little thinner than the fourth prince." Shen Ruyi He took a couple of sips from the teacup in Mrs. Shen's hand.

In her previous life, she married the Fourth Prince because of Shen Yunrou.The two of them are three years apart.This year she is sixteen and Shen Yunrou is thirteen.This autumn, she will marry Ji, and according to the trajectory of her previous life, next winter, she will marry the Fourth Prince.At that time, Shen Yunrou was fourteen.

A 14-year-old girl sounds young, but she actually has everything she should have, including figure, scheming, and pursuit.

Seniority is orderly, Shen Ruyi does not marry, and Shen Yunrou cannot marry.Therefore, as soon as Shen Yunrou had menstruation, Aunt Wang had already thought of Mrs. Shen, mother and daughter in Zhuangzi, so she urged Master Shen to bring Mrs. Shen, mother and daughter back.

First, Shen Ruyi was dismissed earlier.Secondly, it is also to protect Shen Yunrou from disaster.Because at that time, the Fourth Prince took a fancy to Shen Yunrou.

Ordinarily, at the age of the fourth prince, he shouldn't have a crush on Shen Yunrou, no matter how beautiful Shen Yunrou is, no matter how mature her figure is, it's still too late.Aristocratic families, in order to show their love for their daughters, would never marry off girls who are not as good as Ji.Therefore, if Shen Yunrou is really settled, the fourth prince will have to wait at least two years.

But if the fourth prince really made up his mind, two years is actually nothing. This year the fourth prince is nineteen, and two years later it will only be 21.

It stands to reason that this is a good marriage, Aunt Wang and Shen Yunrou should be overjoyed.But the bad thing is that the border war is not over yet, the fourth prince still has to go to the border, and when the fourth prince comes back, he comes back with a scar on his face.

Although the rules of the imperial court are not so strict at the moment, as long as they are not intimidating, they can still take the imperial examination to become an official or something.But for the heir to the throne, having a scar on his face means that he is not eligible to inherit.

A prince who cannot inherit the throne has become very irritable and fierce. How could Aunt Wang and Shen Yunrou agree?
But the fourth prince is the emperor's son after all, even if he is not qualified to inherit the throne, he is still a prince. If you look down on a prince, what will the emperor think?Therefore, the Shen family must marry a daughter.

Therefore, Shen Ruyi, the prostitute, finally came in handy.

Next autumn, the fourth prince will come to propose marriage, so Shen Ruyi still has one year to marry herself before the fourth prince comes.

Don't look at how good Lord Shen is to her now, but if the fourth prince really came to propose marriage, Lord Shen would not be able to refuse.No matter how important Shen Houye is to the emperor, he is still a courtier, and no matter how the fourth prince is, he is also the son of the emperor.

It's just that Shen Ruyi is a little troubled now, and it's because Lord Shen is good to her, so I'm afraid that Lord Shen won't let her marry so early.This year is Jiji, and next year is only seventeen. Those who love their daughters will usually marry their daughters only when they are eighteen or nineteen.

Furthermore, Marquis Shen planned to buy her a dowry slowly, but he hasn't started buying it yet.

If only she had been in the capital during the draft last year, maybe she could have a finger marriage... It's a wonderful idea.

"Eldest sister, isn't the Fourth Highness getting married?" Shen Yunrou came over with a smile and said, Shen Ruyi tilted her head and thought for a while, but she didn't know about this, because at this time in her previous life, she was still in Zhuangzi. She has never been out of the mansion since she came back, and she didn't find out much about the fourth prince until she got married.However, I found out later that before the Fourth Prince married her, there was an unmarried lady who had an accident a few days before her marriage, and fell into the water and died.

"I don't know, what's the matter?" Shen Ruyi asked Nanny Chen to pass on the dinner while asking, Shen Yunrou pinched her fingers a little embarrassed: "The future fourth concubine is a girl from the Luo family. Do you want to add makeup to Miss Luo?"

Shen Ruyi glanced at her strangely: "I don't know Miss Luo, why did I add makeup to her? You know her? You have a good relationship?"

How old are they, because they can't be too close, right?

"No, it's just that, that's the future fourth concubine." Shen Yunrou said with wide eyes, and Shen Ruyi couldn't help laughing: "So what? It's not the future concubine, if you rush to give makeup , that's a joke, that's all right, hurry up and have dinner, go back to rest after dinner, and continue to learn the rules from Mammy tomorrow."

Shen Yunrou was a little unhappy, but seeing that Mrs. Shen had got up, she hurriedly followed and helped Mrs. Shen walk to the living room.

Housekeeper in the morning, reading a book and chatting with Mrs. Shen in the afternoon, and playing a game of chess with Lord Shen in the evening. The days passed peacefully until the 15th Lantern Festival.Early in the morning, Shen Ruyi began to arrange things for the holiday.

The Lantern Festival is not only about going to the street to watch the lanterns, but also hanging lanterns in the Hou Mansion.Shen Ruyi planned to go out to watch the lanterns with Mrs. Shen, but the old lady would stay in the Hou Mansion because of her rest, so she had to make preparations on both sides.

On one side is the frame for her and Mrs. Shen to prepare for going out, as well as arrange the itinerary and determine the people accompanying her.The other side is to prepare the Lantern Festival for the old lady, and arrange several programs so that the old lady will not feel desolate and lonely.

After a busy lunch, she didn't even eat a few bites. In the afternoon, Aunt Wang came over again and made a request with a smiling face—to take Shen Yunrou out together.

Shen Ruyi didn't even hesitate, and immediately agreed.

After hastily eating dinner, Lord Shen was ready to take people out.There were people on the road, so the carriage went very slowly, but Shen Ruyi was not in a hurry, anyway, there were lanterns on both sides, so it happened that she and Mrs. Shen could still enjoy it in the carriage.

Shen Yunrou was also at the window, talking to Shen Ruyi while looking at it: "The lotus lantern over there is from Baiweizhai, and their vegetarian dishes are very delicious. Next time if we are free, let's go to Baiweizhai to eat vegetarian dishes." ?”

"That unicorn lantern is from Fugui Building, and that one is from Yinlou. Their jewelry is pretty good and the price is fair."

"The Nine Heavens Flying Fairy Lantern belongs to Jinxiufang... Oh, isn't that the fourth prince? Elder sister, look quickly, am I right? Is the Princess Mingzhu behind him? Who is that next to Princess Mingzhu? Look It's very imposing, but among the noble girls in the capital, it seems that I have never seen this person, but if I don't have enough status, how can I be so close to Princess Mingzhu?" Shen Yunrou turned sideways, dragged Shen Ruyi with one hand, and continued to hold the window with the other. , said with a look of surprise and doubt.
