Taking advantage of the night, Shen Yao returned safely to his residence.

The hot water for bathing was already prepared, so Shen Yao didn't need to run to her stepmother and pretend to pay her respects.

After sending Chunhua away early to prepare everything, Shen Yao took a comfortable hot bath and then fell asleep happily on the bed.

When I woke up, it was already daybreak outside.

Shen Yao got up from the bed in high spirits and called Chunhua to help her dress up.

She will be entering the palace in the next day, so her schedule today is still very tight.

"Haruyuki from Grandmother's household will send a group of maids over in a little while.

Chunhua, you have served me for many years, and you don’t know the situation when you enter the palace this time. Your family and parents are all in Zhuangzi, so you don’t need to follow me in. "

Shen Yao looked at the girl in the bronze mirror, combing herself and taking care of herself.

Chunhua was originally combing Shen Yao's hair. When she heard her mistress say this, she thought that she was dissatisfied with her, and she was so scared that she knelt down and begged for mercy.

Shen Yao: ...Not really, not really.

Even though Shen Yao has experienced several worlds, he is not the kind of cruel and ruthless person who likes to kill people.

She waved her hand, signaling Chunhua to get up quickly, "It's not that you did anything wrong, it's just that you are old and it will be difficult for you to get married after entering the palace.

Taking this opportunity, you can return to your parents to show your filial piety and complete the relationship between us as master and servant."

A lady of her position could only bring one maid into the palace.

It’s not that Chunhua is a bad person, it’s just that Chunhua is not the one Shen Yao wants.

Shen Yao patiently explained a few words, then reached out and took out a banknote of considerable value and handed it to Chunhua, "Hurry up and take it, and you can leave the house when I enter the palace.

Although the Shen family lives in luxury, it is not as leisurely and leisurely as the Zhuangzi. "

Chunhua just likes to protect herself and she doesn't mean to feel sorry for Shen Yao.

Shen Yao thought this was a good idea. She chose a useful maid to enter the palace, and Chunhua, who had taken care of this body for more than ten years, took the money back to the farm to get married, thus settling a cause and effect.

Shen Yao's operation was good. Even though Chunhua misunderstood it at first, after her young lady handed the banknote to her and did not hide some subsequent things from her, Chunhua finally understood.

It turned out that the lady didn't drive her away because she was angry, she was really thinking about herself.

After getting this result, Chunhua was deeply moved by Shen Yao's behavior.

She quickly cheered up, first expressing her loyalty to Shen Yao, and then energetically preparing for Shen Yao's upcoming entry into the palace.

Shen Yao:?

Shen Yao didn't understand, but looking at Chunhua, it was obvious that she wanted to express her gratitude through actions, so Shen Yao accepted it without hesitation.

Don't think that it was easy for her to enter the palace as a concubine.

This is not entirely true, because even if she is a concubine, she can still buy some dowry. Unless those palace maids are born into high positions, they will not be so particular as to just carry a bag and leave. For concubines like Shen Yao who were selected to enter the palace, the higher their position, the more dowry they can bring into the palace.

With Shen Yao's current status, she can bring three large boxes of dowry into the palace.

Originally, the Shen family prepared some ordinary gold and silver jewelry, cloth, calligraphy and paintings, which was considered a routine operation for ordinary eunuchs.

But since last night, when Shen Yao had a talk with her step-grandmother Ji, Shen Yao's dowry became richer than before.

The richness here refers to some antique jades that can be stored for a long time and show the family heritage.

Although the three boxes are not large, they are all fine products, and the total value of the silver can easily exceed ten thousand yuan.

Chunhua led the servants in the courtyard to work hard, and also registered the things in the courtyard one by one, not even leaving out a silver hairpin.

"Miss, here are the relevant accounts. You can use them for comparison and inspection when you enter the palace."

At the same time, you also don't have to worry about other people embezzling your things and then not being able to find them.

Shen Yao nodded, accepted the bill, and then asked about the arrangements with her stepmother.

You know, this afternoon, she still needs to communicate with the current stepmother of this body. Although the stepmother is not much older than her, it has always been like this for women before they get married. The only strange thing is that the Shen family is weird.

When Chunyu heard Shen Yao mention her stepmother, her expression stiffened for a moment. Although she tried to cover it up quickly, Shen Yao still noticed it.

Well, is there anything else going on here?

Chunyu said cautiously, "Miss, the Madam is busy, and has sent someone to deliver the things."

The implication is that there is no need to go over for a formal visit.

Shen Yao:......

Ah

Shen Yao chuckled, and her whole face looked like a blooming flower.

It seems that her stepmother is quite interesting. She has been back for several months, but she has hardly seen her except on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.

Well, since you don’t want to be too involved with me, forget it.

"Bring the things here. Since mother is busy, I won't bother her any more."

Anyway, the two of them are just friends for show, so it doesn't matter whether they meet or not.

Chunhua felt relieved after hearing what Shen Yao said. It was good, she thought her young lady would be dissatisfied.

Turning around, she placed a rosewood box locked with a copper ingot in front of Shen Yao. Chunhua took a few steps back, making sure that she could not see clearly what was in the box before stopping.

Shen Yao looked at Chunhua's tacit behavior and thought that this person was really good, and smart enough to be a servant, but she just liked to think about herself too much, which made her very unpleasant compared to those loyal servants.

The master and servant have conflicting interests in this regard, so it is inevitable that Chunhua will be eliminated and Shen Yao will find someone else.

Without thinking too much about Chunhua, Shen Yao picked up the exquisite key beside her, opened the copper lock with a click, and took out the things that were laid out inside.

Well, some banknotes, two picture albums, and not much else.

The silver notes came in both large and small denominations, totaling five thousand taels.

It was the private money given to the legitimate daughter for her marriage. After all, the Shen family was a small family, and a concubine's daughter only had three thousand taels of silver for her marriage. Shen Yao was able to buy a good dowry and had a thousand taels of silver on her. The Shen family really treated her well.

As for the remaining two albums, they are erotic pictures unique to this era.

After all, she entered the palace to serve the emperor. Shen Yao's body was still that of an innocent girl, and it was normal for her to be sent pornographic pictures by the eldest daughter before she got married.

If Shen Yao's biological mother were still alive, this would be the time for her to show her personal experience and teach her how to serve a man.

After casually flipping through two pages, Shen Yao put the things away and locked them up again.

It’s not that she feels shy, it’s just that she is busy and has no time to watch it.

Even though I can say that I have been through many battles, this erotic picture is still too subtle and not pretty.

"Put it in the inner room next to the package and take it with you to the palace tomorrow."

After Shen Yao finished speaking, she stood up and walked out of the room.

"Miss, breakfast is ready in the kitchen. Do you want to eat now?"

Chunhua came to Shen Yao and glanced at the servant carrying a food box not far from the door.

Shen Yao raised her head to block her eyes, carefully feeling the sunlight falling on her body, "Well, let's set the table."

Chun Yu nodded, "Yes, I understand."

The food in the lunch box was quickly placed. Shen Yao washed her hands in the copper basin, then sat down to eat a delicious breakfast.

Hey

I have to say, maybe because she is about to enter the palace, she has been treated really well in the Shen Mansion these days.

Whether it was food or drink expenses, it far exceeded the treatment that a legitimate daughter should receive.

Tsk, this can’t be the so-called last meal before execution.

The people in the Shen family are quite interesting.

Rubbing her wrist and watching Chunyu clear the table, Shen Yao thought that she would have to continue doing some transactions with the system when she was free this afternoon. The imperial palace of the Dajing Dynasty was very complicated now. If she wanted to give birth to a child safely and raise him successfully, the cost would definitely be very high.

"Miss, Chunxue from the old lady's side has arrived, and she is accompanied by a group of maids."

Chunyu whispered something to Shen Yao, then helped Shen Yao up, and the master and servant came to the door.

Chunxue had already led the people to line up in the courtyard. When she saw Shen Yao coming out, she smiled especially kindly, "Miss, these maids were carefully selected by the old lady for you. Please take a look."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao first smiled and thanked her grandmother for her kindness, then let Chunyu support her and slowly walked to the crowd.

"Miss Haruyuki, were these chosen by your grandmother?"

After walking around, Shen Yao nodded with satisfaction. Just looking at the appearance, Ji had put in a lot of effort.

These women all have regular features but are not beautiful. Even if they enter the harem in the future, they will not have any capital to stab you in the back.

After all, power is a moving thing. Once you enter the palace and see its wealth and splendor, who can guarantee that your current peaceful state of mind will not change?

Shen Yao doesn't dislike people who think about themselves, but she doesn't like people who scheme against her.

Chunxue bowed his body with a respectful look on his face, "They have all been seen by the old lady."

The underlying meaning of the words is that these people are all useful and there is no need to worry about them being spies for someone else.

Shen Yao nodded when she heard that, then asked a few questions and pointed at someone to answer.

Only after everyone had spoken did Shen Yao finally choose a woman named Qiuyue.

"It's her"

When Qiuyue heard this, she hurried out and knelt down to kowtow.

The others who were not selected were a little disappointed, but fortunately they restrained their emotions and did not let go in front of Shen Yao.

When Chunxue saw that Shen Yao had chosen the candidate, she smiled and quickly handed the wooden box that the old lady had given her to Shen Yao, and then she left with the remaining people.

"Chunhua, take Qiuyue to get used to it first, and come find me if you have any problems."

Shen Yao held the rosewood box in her hand, which was even smaller than before, and turned around and went into the room without paying attention to the two people around her.

Sitting at the Eight Immortals Table, Shen Yao opened the wooden box. As expected, it contained some silver bills.

In addition to the silver bills, there were also several beautiful jade pendants and several beautiful jewel hairpins.

Shen Yao took out the things and counted them carefully. She suddenly realized that when a woman got married, her relatives from her family would prepare quite a lot of private money.

Eight thousand taels of silver notes and several priceless jade pendants and jewel hairpins.

Her cheap grandmother was really wealthy.
