Chapter 103

103 cheating marriage

The old lady and her daughter Shen Qinglian took over the power of the housekeeper of the prime minister's house. At first, it was like a mouse falling into a rice jar and happily subsidizing the public money to her own small Treasury. But after a few days, they couldn't laugh.

The prime minister's residence bears the brunt of two major events. One is Shen Jing'an's marriage to the eldest daughter of Weiyuan Hou Di, and the other is Shen Mingxian, the third miss of the Shen family.

Shen Jing'an's marriage to Miss Xu is a marriage given by the emperor. There are rules to follow, and gold and silver utensils should be indispensable. Besides, Miss Xu is very popular with the Empress Dowager. When she gets married, the title of "Princess" is indispensable. Even though the old lady and Shen Qinglian have ten thousand courage, they dare not do anything about the marriage given by the emperor. The princess was wronged. If the Empress Dowager and the emperor knew, it would be a great crime of beheading. They could only watch the Shen family spend their money on this marriage.

Then we can only save money from Shen Mingxian's marriage.

After all, Shen Mingxian is only the daughter of Sanfang, and there is still a gap between her status and Shen Qingru. The old lady played an excellent abacus with Shen Qinglian and raised the dowry for Shen Mingxian's 64. Shen Qinglian had planned to "empty" it. Put in some worthless big things to make a face.

But Shen Mingxian's mother Gao is not an ordinary person. She is afraid of splashing, even Shen Qinglian, who is always recognized as a shrew. Shen Qinglian gave Shen Mingxian a small gold-plated mandarin duck plate in her dowry. Gao ran to the old lady's room and cried for three days. The old lady was almost neurasthenic by Gao's loud voice. She couldn't hold on until the third day. She told Shen Qinglian to replace the mandarin duck plate with two black circles under her eyes.

Shen Qinglian gave Shen Mingxian two pearls from the western regions. Gao went directly to the Qifeng building where Shen Qinglian lived and scolded the locust. The whole Shen family can hear that "the vicious widow lard who killed her husband is blinded and wants to take my daughter's dowry money to raise a man". Shen Qinglian angrily wants to have a theory with Gao, but Gao doesn't mention Shen Qinglian word by word, and Shen Qinglian can't come up to scold.

Besides, Shen Mingxian's marriage is also unusual.

Shen Mingxian is going to marry the second son of the official minister Zuo Da Ren and the direct nephew of concubine Hui Zuo Shi. On family status, the fourth generation and the third Duke of the Zuo family. In terms of birth, childe Zuo is the legitimate son of a dignitary second-class senior. In terms of talent and learning, childe Zuo has always been famous in Beijing. It is said that he has planned to participate in the scientific examination. With Childe Zuo's talent and learning, he can enter an official position in a few days. It can be said that he has a bright future. The Third Master of the Shen family and the Gao family were overjoyed when they heard that their daughter had been married to childe Zuo. They almost felt the smoke from their ancestral grave.

The Zuo family, on the surface, is indeed a good marriage. However, Shen Qingru wondered why the Zuo family was willing to marry Shen Mingxian? She also survived the name of this Zuo childe in her boudoir. It is said that he is one of the best talents in the imperial capital. He is handsome and romantic. He is also a hot figure in the imperial capital's noble women's circle. Even today's emperor has heard of his talent name. It is said that he intended to recruit him as the son-in-law of Princess Changping. It was only because Princess Changping admired Duke Yunyang.

Why did such an outstanding person find the ordinary Shen Mingxian? Although Shen Mingxian is the daughter of the Shen family, she is Shen Xinzhi's niece, not her daughter. Shen Mingxian's father, Third Master Shen, is just a junior official from the seventh grade,

It is said that empress Hui, the aunt of Childe Zuo, made the decision herself and mentioned it to Gao. The flattered Gao agreed without hesitation. Empress Hui kindly told Gao that their family didn't need the Shen family's dowry, but only took a fancy to Shen Mingxian. If the Shen family has no opinion, the Zuo family hopes to let childe Zuo marry Shen Mingxian as soon as possible.

The official reason given by Empress huifei is that old lady Zuo is in poor health and can't live for three months. She hopes to see her favorite grandson get married in her lifetime.

It's human nature for the Zuo family to be happy, but Shen Qingru remembered that he came into the palace to ask the Empress Dowager for peace last month and ran into a lively old lady Zuo. It's not far from the same life. It's obvious that the Zuo family is lying.

Fire cannot be wrapped in paper. What is the secret of the left family? As long as Shen and Gao inquire, they will be able to find out the result. Unfortunately, the two parents, immersed in the joy of their daughter's marriage to gaomen, completely ignored these obvious anomalies.

Shen Qingru feels sorry for Shen Mingxian. Compared with Shen Huajing, who is grumpy and doesn't know the heaven and earth, Shen Qingru has always been very fond of the gentle and amiable Shen Mingxian. Although Shen Mingxian looks ordinary, she is kind-hearted and kind-hearted. She is a good girl to the letter. Third master Shen and Gao married her to Zuo's family for face, but they didn't know whether they loved her or hurt her.

The left family urged very urgently. Shen Mingxian's wedding date was set on the third day of next month, less than a month from now.

Although time is pressing. But Gao was unwilling to wrong his daughter. From the gold and silver utensils used for marriage to a small piece of gold on the wedding dress, Gao's daughter is thoughtful and appropriate. She doesn't want her daughter to make half a snack by herself, trying to make Shen Mingxian a happy bride.

Therefore, when Shen Mingxian asked to come to her, Shen Qingru was surprised.

She thought the girl was ignorant, but she was also smart. Shen Mingxian sat beside Shen Qingru and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her embroidered handkerchief. As soon as she looked at the aster and tide behind her, Shen Qingru automatically and consciously asked the two servant girls to step down.

The two servant girls left the door with their front feet. Shen Mingxian knelt down with her back feet: "please help me, elder sister. I don't want to marry Zuo Ningyuan."

It turned out that Shen Mingxian had long been suspicious of the Zuo family. Her idea was consistent with Shen Qingru. For no reason, how could the Zuo family like the daughter of a seven grade official? Even though her uncle Shen Xinzhi was the Prime Minister of the current Dynasty, concubine Zuo huifei's attitude was too warm and urged her to set a wedding date again and again.

Abnormal things are demons. Shen Mingxian was not dazzled by the good thing of falling pie in the sky. She calmly dispatched all her resources to inquire about it.

When the Zuo family came to send the bride price, Zuo Ningyuan also came. Shen Mingxian hesitated again and again. She still sent a servant girl to send a message and wanted to have a look with her fiance Zuo Ning. Zuo Ningyuan coldly refused, the reason crowned Tang Huan: men and women give and receive. But it was this cold attitude that made Shen Mingxian sure that the left family had ulterior motives.

Which husband doesn't want to see his fiancee before marriage? Don't want to talk to your fiancee? Zuo Ningyuan's attitude is cold, and the Zuo family urges marriage again and again. I'm afraid there's something else.

The spies sent out were not completely absent. In addition to bringing back waste information such as "Zuo childe is a dragon and Phoenix, both talented and beautiful", she also hesitated to say one thing: "it is said that there is a girl in Zuo Ning's far room, who is very much loved by Zuo Ningyuan. But the girl's identity is too low, and Mrs. Zuo doesn't want her son to take the girl back. But now I hear that the girl is pregnant."

"It's said that childe Zuo dotes on the girl very much. He swore to his mother, Mrs. Zuo, that if the girl has something good or bad, he won't live himself."

If Shen Mingxian is struck by lightning, Rao is always good tempered. He can't help but throw out the tea lamp in his hand angrily. What a Zuo family, what a Zuo Ningyuan, what do these people think of her?

Shen Mingxian seems to be angry. She scolds the left family upside down in front of Shen Qingru. Shen Qingru looked at Shen Mingxian's red cheeks and had to touch her back to comfort her: "this marriage is decided by Princess Hui and reported to the Empress Dowager. I'm afraid it's not so easy to solve."

Shen Mingxian's bright, expectant eyes suddenly darkened. Shen Qingru looked at her pitiful appearance and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

Which girl is not in spring? I'm afraid Shen Mingxian is also fond of the romantic and handsome childe of the left family, but Zuo Ningyuan's actual action has broken her fantasy.

The son of an aristocratic family had an affair with his maidservant before he got married. He had a dark knot in his bead and spread it. I'm afraid that the noble women of the right age will avoid him. In order to avoid such a situation, Zuo huifei and Zuo family chose Shen Mingxian, who was gentle and generous.

The Third Master of the Shen family and the Gao family are only happy. Where do you want the key? Even if I think of it, can I give up this profitable marriage for my daughter?

When something like this happened, the Zuo family not only refused to let the maid have an abortion, but also adopted such a way of cheating marriage. It's a good plan to marry an innocent family woman for his son and keep his son's blood!

As for Zuo Ningyuan, the son of an aristocratic family, he did the business of sexually humiliating his mother and maidservant before marriage and defended the pregnant maidservant in every way. It can be seen that he loved the maidservant very much. But if you really love the handmaid, why do you submit to the wishes of your family to propose marriage to Shen Mingxian? When his love is good, why do he harm other girls?

Shen Qingru concludes that the Zuo family is hypocritical and selfish, and the bastard Zuo Ningyuan is one of the best.

The left family is cheating on marriage.

Shen Mingxian also knows this, but what can she do as a weak woman? Below the bride price, the text has been changed, and even the eight characters have been closed. The left family finished all this quietly as soon as possible, and the rest is Shen Mingxian alone in her wedding dress.

Shen Mingxian seemed to have seen the bright fire pit ahead waiting for her to jump. She understood the consequences of jumping into the fire pit, but she couldn't stand the people around her. She worked together to send her to the fire pit.

At this time, she thought of Shen Qingru. She doesn't have much contact with Shen Qingru, but she clearly feels that if someone in the family can save herself, it can only be the seemingly weak but actually determined girl Shen Qingru in front of her.
