Seeing the atmosphere of joy in the family because of Shen Ziqiao's marriage, Zhou felt that her heart was roasting on the stove. She thought that the Qi family should be very dissatisfied with this marriage, no matter how much she wanted to take into account the emperor's face, she would not Pay more attention to Shen Ziqiao.
Now, that doesn't seem to be the case.
Whether it's the Qi family or the Shen family, they both attach great importance to this marriage, and every detail is perfect, making Zhou's eyes red with envy.
"It's just a general's daughter. It's like marrying a princess. I'm not afraid of being laughed at by others for such a pomp." Zhou Shi didn't have such deep resentment towards Shen Ziqiao before, but she cursed every day these two days.
Shen Zixin lowered her head to do her needlework. When she heard what her mother said, there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. She hadn't gone out for a long time. Although she didn't see the scene outside, she could guess it, "Mother, this is a beautiful place." Blessing, you can say a few words less."
Zhou said angrily, "This blessing belongs to you, she stole your husband-in-law."
Shen Zixin shook her head lightly, her attention was still on the work in hand, "Mother, everyone has their own destiny, since Jiaojiao is married to Qi Zheng now, then this is Jiaojiao's destiny, not mine."
When such disappointing words came out of Shen Zixin's mouth, the Zhou family hated her even more, "Bah! She has a bad marriage, I think she has a good life, and when I have a chance in the future, let Qi Zheng know that you are the best of the Shen family. Outstanding girl, let him regret it!"
And let Qi Zheng know that it was Shen Xiao who deliberately asked the emperor to grant him a marriage, so that he could even complain about Shen Ziqiao.
When the time comes, the husband and wife will not agree, and Shen Ziqiao will be proud of her marriage no matter how well-behaved she is! The more Zhou thought about it, the happier she became, with smiles on the corners of her brows and eyes.
Shen Zixin just lowered her head to do needlework, and didn't notice Zhou's emotional change at all.
"Mother will definitely find you a marriage that is a thousand times better than Shen Ziqiao's." Mrs. Zhou vowed that in the future, she would never let Shen Ziqiao overpower Xin'er, and Xiner must overwhelm her.
But. If Qi Zheng is the eldest son, then he will be Lord Hou in the future, and Shen Ziqiao will be the wife of Lord Hou...
Is there any young talent in the capital who has a higher status and is more outstanding than Qi Zheng? Zhou's head ached.
"Mother, how's grandma's health? Why don't you go to De'an Courtyard today?" Shen Zixin didn't want to hear Mrs. Zhou whispering in her ear anymore, so she mentioned Mrs. Shen.
In recent days, Mrs. Zhou went to Mrs. Shen's room every day to attend to her illness. Why didn't you go today
Zhou curled her lips, "I'm leaving now, I don't think your grandmother has been here for a few days."
There was a bit of sadness between Shen Zixin's brows, "Grandma's health is getting worse and worse. Mother, you should take her outside for a walk, always lying down is not good for the body."
"I have to say that she is willing to listen." Zhou waved her hand perfunctorily. Actually. She wished that the old lady would die within two days, so Shen Ziqiao would not be able to marry even if she wanted to.
Of course, she only dared to think about this idea in her mind, how could she dare to say it.
No, if the old lady died, then Xin'er would have to keep her filial piety... This wasted a lot of time. Then you'll be a big girl.
I still hope that the old lady will last a little longer.
The other side of the Shen family was very lively at this time. This was not the first time the Shen family married their daughter, but it was the first time it was so high-profile and grand.
The eldest aunt directed the maids and women to put Shen Ziqiao's dowry into boxes, and each box had a happy word pasted on it.
"... Jiaojiao, this is what your grandmother asked me to add to the box for you." The aunt took out a box, which contained a pair of heads, a flower hairpin inlaid with rubies, a pair of earrings inlaid with rubies, gold inlaid with jade phoenixes and phoenixes, The hairpin, the most eye-catching one is the golden collar with many flowers and inlaid with rubies. There are eight rubies the size of pigeon eggs inlaid in total.
Shen Ziqiao was stunned, "Auntie, did I make a mistake, my grandmother has already given me a lot of things... this... I can't take any more."
The eldest aunt laughed, "Originally, the old lady gave this to your mother. When your mother knew that she was dying, she asked someone to send this back to Pan's house, saying that she would keep it for you in the future."
"Mother has given me a lot of things. Auntie, how about... Why don't you leave this to my brother. When my sister-in-law comes in, give this to her, and treat it as my mother's wish for my daughter-in-law." Shen Ziqiao said hurriedly, she really I deserve it.
Pan's was so kind to her daughter, she left almost everything good for her, so what about Shen Zikai? Does he really not mind at all
The eldest aunt smiled, "You have to tell your elder brother yourself."
"What do you want to tell me?" Just as the eldest aunt finished speaking, Shen Zikai appeared outside the door.
"You brothers and sisters talk first, I have to go to work." After receiving Shen Zikai's gift, the eldest aunt stood up and led the maids in the house to file out.
There are only two brothers and sisters left.
Shen Ziqiao's eyes were still moist because she was moved, she held the box, "Brother, leave this and this to you, I don't need so many."
She brought out a stack of land deeds that she had prepared for Shen Zikai.
"You keep it yourself, brother has it." Shen Zikai lovingly patted her head, thinking that the younger sister he had watched growing up was about to get married, he had a sour feeling of getting married.
"Mother left all the things to me, what will you do in the future, big brother? You can just accept these things, and this face, and keep it for my sister-in-law in the future, it's Mother's wish..." Shen Ziqiao cried anxiously, asking Shen Zikai to give all these things away. Take it down.
Shen Ziqiao said with a smile, "You really think that mother didn't give me anything, silly sister, mother has already left me a lot of things, and these are all yours."
Shen Ziqiao didn't know exactly how much Pan's owned, but she was sure that Pan's left Shen Zikai not as much as she did.
"Brother, if you treat me as your younger sister, you can accept all of these." Shen Ziqiao finally had to say threateningly.
Shen Zikai said helplessly, "Okay, I'll accept it, but you take this land deed first, and then give it to me later, that's all."
"Brother!" Shen Ziqiao sniffed, and suddenly felt deep reluctance.
"Okay, I'm about to get married, and I'm still so childish." Shen Zikai's eyes were sore, but he still joked.
Shen Ziqiao wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes embarrassingly, "I'm about to get married, when will my elder brother come back to marry a sister-in-law?"
"It's almost there." Shen Zikai yelled vaguely, "Okay, put these away quickly, the Qi family will come over tomorrow to make up."
The day after tomorrow, she will get married.
Shen Ziqiao unexpectedly calmed down, not as nervous as before.
(The child's illness is still not cured, and I myself fell ill, and my whole body is terribly uncomfortable, and I feel tired even when I raise my hand, so let's go to bed first~~)
