What Wen said is basically true.

That day when Mrs. Wen came to pay homage to her mistress, Shen Lijun smiled and stood up to help her up. Before she could speak, Mrs. Wen said in horror: "A concubine is not worthy of being treated like this by a princess."

Seeing that Ms. Wen still insisted on kneeling down to finish the ceremony, Shen Lijun did not stop her. After the ceremony was over, Shen Lijun smiled and said: "There are many things in the house, and I have Brother Gui to take care of. My sister is here." It just lightens the burden on my shoulders."

While talking, she felt that the customary gifts for concubines were too thin. Shen Lijun took off a pair of jade bracelets from her wrists, put them on herself and said with a smile: "My sister is indeed young, and she looks better with this girl." Jade color.”

Mrs. Wen said with increasing fear, "The princess is showing her love." She knelt down to thank her again.

Shen Lijun hurriedly grabbed her and smiled and said: "We have been together for a long time. There will be many times to worship you in the future, but now there are still several old people waiting to worship you."

When Mrs. Wen came in, she saw four or five beauties standing in the room with gorgeous clothes and beautiful faces. She had already guessed that they must be the people of the Xian Wang's room.

At this time, the five ladies-in-law heard what Shen Lijun said, and they all saluted Mrs. Wen's body and said, "I have met Aunt Wen."

Mrs. Wen hurriedly stepped forward to stop me, and said with a smile: "We are all the same people, and besides, all the sisters have served me longer than I have. Wouldn't this be killing my sister?"

After saying that, he asked the girl to take out the gifts and handed them to them one by one. She said straightly: "This is the needlework made by my sister. Please don't laugh at my poor skills."

Just now they saw Mrs. Wen being saluted by Shen Lijun, and these few people were still a little bit unhappy. Now that they saw that she was kind and courteous, and not arrogant, they felt at ease in their hearts. However, the two concubines Qi were still unconvinced. She thought that she was born in a good family and was given by Concubine Qi, so she could not compare with a businesswoman, but she got an advantage and became a high-ranking one.

Mrs. Wen also noticed it, but her face remained calm, still smiling and treating everyone equally.

When Shen Lijun saw it, she couldn't help but nodded secretly, but she didn't dare to underestimate her.

After meeting each other, Shen Lijun gave a few more instructions, just to serve the prince well. Everyone must live in harmony and live in harmony. Only when the family is harmonious can everything be prosperous, and the prince can serve the court with peace of mind.

For a moment, the five people were sent away, leaving Shen Lijun alone to talk to Mr. Wen.

Mrs. Wen took out a small box from her arms and presented it to Shen Lijun, saying: "I have no private property. This is my concubine's dowry. Please keep it for me, Princess."

Shen Lijun did not answer, but smiled and said: "Sister, what you said is not appropriate. You are a serious hire of a concubine who has no private property. It is normal to have a dowry. Take it back quickly, I won't accept it."

Mrs. Wen bit her lip and said with a smile: "I still have some pocket money with me. My father told me to give it to the princess when I came to the palace."

After hearing this, Shen Lijun's eyes flickered, she touched the bright gemstone ring on her hand, and said slowly: "Not to mention the annual salary in the palace and the output of the palace, it is only the annual profits from my dowry. The money is enough to meet the expenses of the prince's palace. We Mingren don't say anything secretly. It's just because of the prince's important affairs that we spend a huge amount every year. But after all, it is the business of the men outside and is not my business. According to me, sister It is better to hand it over to the prince in person so that the prince will value you more and benefit you in the future."

Mrs. Wen couldn't help but blush when she heard this, but she didn't know that Shen Lijun would not let the money pass her hands, so she had to give it to the Xian Wang who came to spend the night the next day.

The wise king had nowhere to raise money at this time, so he was naturally overjoyed. The two had a good love affair, and Shen Lijun, who was alone in the empty room, couldn't help feeling sad but letting out a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Wen also understood that just because she was a concubine who was born in a businessman, and she gave money to the Xian Wang in person, she was afraid that she would never be favored by the Xian Wang again. Fortunately, as long as the matter was accomplished, with the character of the Xian Wang, she would definitely be able to obey his words. Giving a reward to one's own family can be regarded as a well-earned reward.

From then on, she stopped thinking about him and only served Shen Lijun wholeheartedly. Shen Lijun also knew that she was still doing her duty, and the relationship between the two was very harmonious for a while.

As for Shen Zhaoning's newlywed life, it is just like everyone else's and there is nothing new about it, so I will briefly mention it here without going into details.

After Sanchao returned home, Mrs. Shen called Cheng Xiumei and said with a smile: "I guess your mother taught you how to manage the house when you were at home. But at that time, it was a girl's house, so you still had to avoid some things. Now you Since you have married into the Shen family, you and Qiu'er will be the stewards of my house together from now on. When you take over, I will leave this house to you for the time being, and I will enjoy my happiness."

Cheng Xiumei thought that most mothers-in-law, daughters-in-law, and sisters-in-law were at odds over matters of management power. After all, everyone wanted to enjoy the feeling of being able to obey orders and prohibitions. Moreover, the eldest brother would eventually inherit the Marquis House, so why should she be too meddlesome? I don’t know what my sister-in-law’s temperament is. If she is left-leaning and thinks that she wants to occupy the magpie’s nest, wouldn’t she be thankless for her efforts?

After thinking about it, Cheng Xiumei hurriedly smiled and said: "It is natural for a daughter-in-law to take care of her mother, but there is a saying: Those who are capable work hard. Mother is a talented person, and she manages the government affairs in an orderly manner while chatting and laughing. My daughter-in-law is clumsy. , I'm afraid it will be more troublesome for you then, and after a while, the sister-in-law will come back, why not just love your daughter-in-law and let her be a wealthy and idle person."

Mrs. Shen knew her concerns, so she smiled and said: "Your sister-in-law doesn't know when she will be able to return to Beijing. Good boy, you take charge of it first. Although the prince's mansion will be handed over to the boss in the future, doesn't your little family need to Are you a housekeeper? Take advantage of now to practice your skills early."

Cheng Xiumei had no choice but to agree and talk to Shen Zhaoning at night. Shen Zhaoning said: "My mother is old. You can take over and let her rest. In the future, although the Marquis Mansion and the ancestral property will be given to her brother, Shen Zhaoning The rest of the family property will be shared equally between us and my eldest brother. I estimate that the family property is quite large and will have to be managed by you in the future. I would like to practice it in advance so as not to make my mother feel wronged. In addition, if it is against my parents If you are unsure about anything, just go to Qiujun and ask her to stand in front of you."

Cheng Xiumei felt confident when her husband told her about the family business. Later, when she saw that Shen Zhaoning had put herself in a difficult situation and used her sister-in-law as a shield, she couldn't help being amused and moved. She laughed and said: "How can you do this, brother?" , actually plotting against his own sister."

Shen Zhaoning said with a smile: "I consider my parents to be very open-minded and would not embarrass you easily. It's just that a daughter-in-law is different from a daughter. It's okay for a daughter to do the same thing, but it's inappropriate for a daughter-in-law to do it. So in some things, If you can avoid it, avoid it. Besides, it's not really a trap for my sister. I can still trust you as a person. My sister is also the most kind-hearted. If the relationship between you and me is better, I will feel more at ease."

Cheng Xiumei couldn't help but nodded after hearing this, and whispered: "Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you."

From then on, Cheng Xiumei and Shen Qiujun worked together as housekeepers for Mrs. Shen. Later, Mrs. Shen gradually let go. Most of the matters at home were handled by Cheng Xiumei and Shen Qiujun through consultation, and nothing happened.

Shen Qiujun was busy cultivating a relationship with Cheng Xiumei and managing government affairs on weekdays, and he lived a real life. However, the sixth prince suffered a lot and lived listlessly and sighing every day.

Seeing this, Xiao Chengzi said: "If I am really bored, why don't I go to Shen Mansion to talk to Miss Shen San to kill some time."

The sixth prince breathed out, lay on the bed, and sighed: "Why don't I want to see Sister Yu, but how can I go there?"

Xiao Chengzi said strangely: "I haven't tied my legs and feet, so I can't go no matter what."

The Sixth Prince sat up, slumped half of his back, and said feebly: "I am now a grown man. If Sister Yu meets me casually, wouldn't it ruin her reputation?"

Xiao Chengzi smiled and said: "Miss Shen San has always been on good terms with me, and she will definitely not treat me with these red tapes. Besides, she didn't say anything when I went some time ago!"

"But her family has married a sister-in-law," the sixth prince lamented: "In the past, when I went there, as soon as the door of Shen's mansion was closed, who would know that I went to talk to Sister Yu, but now her family has a second young lady for nothing. If I go looking for her again, won't it ruin her reputation? What will happen in the future?"

Xiao Chengzi also sighed and advised: "You don't have to talk to Miss Shen San, you can find someone else."

The sixth prince sighed: "Who are you looking for? They all look disgusting and their language is boring." After that, he fell on the bed with a plop, covered his face with a fan, and said: "Get out, I will sleep for a while." .”

When he heard Xiao Chengzi going out, the Sixth Prince jumped up and said to himself: "Is it possible that I am sick? Otherwise, why do I feel so tired after not seeing Sister Yu every few days? After seeing her, I can't wait to see her again." Will we see her again the next day?”

Thinking of this, the Sixth Prince hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Chengzi, hurry up and prepare your horses. Let's go to Shen's Mansion. I seem to be sick. Let's go see Mr. Xin."

Xiao Chengzi looked at the Sixth Prince who seemed to have regained his energy immediately, so he had no choice but to prepare his horse, and the master and servant came to Shen's Mansion.

When Cheng Xiumei heard that the devil, the Sixth Prince, was coming, she was startled. Thinking that the house was full of female relatives, she took Butler Zhao to accompany her to Mr. Xin's place.

When Shen Qiujun heard that the Sixth Prince came to see Mr. Xin for medical treatment, he was really worried, so he quietly sent Xuexiang to the front yard.

Suddenly Xuexiang came back, her face turned red from suppressing it. Everyone was surprised and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Xuexiang finally stopped laughing and said: "The Sixth Prince said that he has not thought about food and food recently, he is feeling weak and can't get up the energy to do anything. Mr. Xin felt his pulse and said that the Sixth Prince was lovesick. The Sixth Prince His face turned red with anger, he kicked Mr. Xin, and then rode away."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, and said, "How does a person like him know how to miss lovesickness? If he had fallen in love with him, he would have taken him home long ago."

Aunt Chu and the others couldn't help but glance at Shen Qiujun secretly. Shen Qiujun also frowned: Is it because of Li Yaoqin or someone else?
