Shen Zhixiu stood at the door, looking at the busy servants in the yard, and said, "The prince is not an open-minded person. I may have thought about what my mother said."

"But now that the emperor is in his prime, it is too early for the prince to ascend the throne. When the day comes for him to ascend the throne, I will also have a plan to deal with it."

"He won't touch me until he ascends the throne."

How could he not have thought about what his mother said? He had even gone over it in his mind before making the decision.

But so what, the prince can't steal it openly, can he?

The old lady glanced at Shen Zhixiu with relief, "Now that you have thought about it, just go ahead and do it."

He frowned and looked into the yard again, "Is this a low-level offer? Why does it look like a bandit snatching a bride?"

I saw the boys in the yard running all the way, looking excited. In order to speed up the progress of everyone's work, Wenzhu also cheered everyone from time to time.

"Hurry up, it's up to us whether the third lady can marry her back."

The corner of Shen Zhixiu's mouth twitched. These guys are usually pretty steady, but today they are as excited as if they drank chicken blood.

The old lady said a few words and went back to rest. Shen Zhixiu was in the study the whole time, and many things required his decision.

"Third Master, time is too tight and there is no time to classify them. I packed them in rows in the small warehouse."

"The total betrothal gift is sixty yuan. This is the betrothal gift list. Please take a look at it."

"In terms of gift money, last time it was 50,000 taels of silver. But we don't have that much cash in the warehouse, but we have five thousand taels of gold, and I packed it."

Shen Zhixiu nodded slightly, took the betrothal gift list and read it.

Although it looks a bit disorganized, fortunately, the things in his small warehouse are still valuable.

While he was looking at the betrothal gift list, Wen Zhu said again: "Third Master, this time I hired 80% of the items in the small warehouse."

There are not many things in the small warehouse in the west courtyard, but any item you pick up is worth a lot of money. When it comes to hiring someone, it's important to make a big noise, and the things you carry cannot be too small.

Therefore, the betrothal gift of 60 kilograms, even for Mr. Shen, who has a rich family, has emptied his family fortune.

He said nonchalantly: "These are all trivial matters. The big deal is that I will let my wife support me in the future."

Wen Zhu lowered his head to hide his smile. The powerful Mr. Shen Ge was waiting for his wife to raise him. Who would believe it if it was spread?

By the time the sixty loads of betrothal gifts were packed, the wedding characters were pasted on them, and the bright red silk ribbons were tied, it was already five o'clock in the morning.

Shen Zhixiu didn't even go back to the bedroom. He only took a nap in the study and told Wen Zhu to set off at dawn.

Su Qingyu had no idea what was coming to her. When she woke up in the morning, she looked at the box with red paint and gold on the dressing table and laughed.

Pearl came in to help her get up. When she saw her smiling at the box, she also said jokingly: "Miss, I heard that after Miss left yesterday, Mrs. Yun had a quarrel with the Marquis. The Marquis was so angry that he threw away his sleeves and left. go."

It turned out that after Su Qingyu entered the house yesterday, she remembered the jewelry that Su Chengye said was made for her. Naturally she didn't believe it, so she sent someone to inquire about it.

Only then did he know that yesterday was Gu Ruoyun's birthday, and Su Chengye happened to take a box of jewelry to Shaohua Hall in the evening.

Su Qingyu became energetic, got up and went to Shaohua Hall. When she entered, Su Chengye and Gu Ruoyun were preparing to eat. On the table, there happened to be a jewelry box made of red paint and gold.

Su Qingyu didn't mention Gu Ruoyun's birthday, but happily asked Su Chengye if this was the jewelry she wanted to give her.

Su Chengye wanted to refuse, but Su Qingyu said that she would wear it one day for Mr. Shen to see.

Just like that, the birthday gift that was originally given to Gu Ruoyun was taken back by Su Qingyu.

Hearing what Pearl said at this time, Su Qingyu smiled lightly, and then said: "This set of jewelry will be taken to Fanjin Tower later and replaced with something else."

She didn't want to keep the jewelry given to Gu Ruoyun, it would be bad luck just looking at it.

After getting up and greeting the old lady, she went to Ziwei Garden to see Mrs. Lin.

Before the mother and daughter could say a few words, Feicui came in with a happy face and reported, "Madam, Miss, Mr. Shen has brought people to offer employment. It's very lively with gongs and drums."

"Miss, do you want to go and have a look?"

Su Qingyu was a little surprised. Resigned?

Didn't they make an agreement before in Ruyi Building? I've made an offer before, so I don't have to worry about it again.

Besides, he didn't mention it yesterday.

Su Qingyu asked: "What about the previous betrothal gift? Do we need to check it out and let him take it back to the Shen family?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Pearl walked in beamingly.

"Miss, the news just came from the front yard. Mr. Shen said that all the previous betrothal gifts were considered as gifts from him."

Su Qingyu was slightly startled, adding one hundred thousand taels of silver to her makeup? There has never been such a precedent in Beijing.

Mrs. Lin, who had just been leaning against the big pillow on the big bed by the window, also sat up.

"Master Shen is interested, Qingyu, this marriage may be really good."

Mrs. Lin doesn't care how much the betrothal gift is, and her Lin family doesn't lack it either. But Shen Zhixiu's actions gave Su Qingyu enough face. Just looking at this attitude, not everyone can do it.

Mrs. Lin is pregnant and cannot walk around in the front. Then he said to Su Qingyu: "Go ahead and send someone to let me know if anything happens."

Su Qingyu got up and took the maid out of Ziwei Garden, passed through the hanging flower gate and went to the front yard.

Before they even got close, they heard the sound of gongs, drums and suonas. Those who didn't know it thought they were having a happy event in their house.

Su Qingyu asked Feicui, "Is there still such a rule for hiring from the capital?"

Jade also looked curious and said, "I've never heard of anyone having such a lively job. Is Mr. Shen afraid that others won't know that he's here?"

When Su Qingyu arrived at the front yard and looked at the sixty-year-old betrothal gift hung with bright red silk in the yard, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Is this too high-profile? The really calm and noble Mr. Shen hired her?

She walked closer and saw Shen Zhixiu chatting with Su Chengye and the old lady, so she stood aside and looked at the betrothal gifts that were being counted.

It's not according to the rules of the aristocratic family at all. It's more like... warehouse moving.

I don't know why, but Su Qingyu feels like this.

Su Chengye and the old lady were all smiles, especially after hearing Shen Zhixiu say that the previous betrothal gift would be used as a dowry for Su Qingyu, they were extremely excited.

When the old lady saw Su Qingyu coming, she called her over with a smile, took her hand and said, "You're a lucky girl."

Su Chengye remembered what Shen Zhixiu had said to him yesterday, and smiled at Su Qingyu with a loving look on his face.

Su Qingyu raised a slight self-deprecating smile on her lips. She was able to get some smiles from her elders in the family by taking advantage of Shen Zhixiu's influence. She didn't even know whether this was her luck or the sorrow of being a woman.

"The imperial edict has arrived." A sharp announcement suddenly came from the door of the Su family.
