A large group of people came in, carrying silks, jewelry, and various treasures. This battle shocked Yingqiao.
"Girl! What's going on?" Yingqiao asked quietly.
"The imperial edict has arrived! Jiang Xun takes the edict!" The eunuch held a bright yellow scroll-like imperial edict.
Jiang Xun was helped by Yingqiao to get out of bed and kneel down to receive the order, but the eunuch said: "Miss Jiang is ill and cannot get up. General Shen has given orders to the slaves. Just sit up and receive the order."
The eunuch treated her very warmly, and his eyes narrowed with laughter.
It was said that Shen Xitang was so powerful that even the emperor was extremely jealous of him. Now listening to what this eunuch said, the rumors were indeed true. Even the imperial decree allowed her to sit on the bed, which was disrespectful.
Jiang Xunque said: "Seeing the imperial edict is like seeing the Holy Master, and the women of the people dare not."
She said to Yingqiao again: "Help me up."
The eunuch saw Jiang Xun kneeling down with difficulty, and there was some deep meaning in his eyes. He just smiled and did not persuade her again. After she knelt down, he opened the imperial edict and raised his voice and said: "The emperor's edict is destined to be fulfilled... Sincerely. Duke Yan Beiyun has an adopted daughter Jiang Xun, who is kind, generous, and outstanding in appearance. She is a perfect match for the mighty General Shen Xitang. In order to become a beautiful woman, I have specially betrothed you to General Shen as his wife. The right time has been chosen. This is the seventh day of the second month of the lunar month."
The chief eunuch spoke a series of official words, which probably meant that the emperor had granted marriage to Shen Xitang. The edict mentioned that the adopted daughter of the Yan Mansion, Jiang Xun, clearly elevated her status from the daughter of a scholar in a remote place. She became the adopted daughter of Duke Cheng.
Moreover, they have chosen an auspicious day, and they will get married in two months. This is too fast. Generally, it would take at least half a year for nobles from ancient aristocratic families to get engaged and get married. It will be done in these two months, and everyone can see it. It turns out how anxious Shen Xitang is to marry her.
Jiang Xun felt that this was all because of Xiao Wanghe, and Shen Xitang was probably afraid that the swan around his mouth would fly away.
After this imperial edict came down, everyone in the Yan Mansion was simply dumbfounded. No one expected that Jiang Xun, whose identity was exposed yesterday, would be granted marriage by the edict today, and he would marry the best husband in the capital. It was really shocking.
Less than an hour after the eunuch left, the eldest lady came over and asked her many questions. Her attitude seemed to be closer than before, but her eyes still looked more inquiring and guessing.
Liaoyanjuli was very lively all day long, with people coming in and out all the time.
The emperor's gifts were piled up in the hall. When she was worrying about where to put these valuable things, another wave of people came and delivered more than fifty boxes, saying they were betrothal gifts.
The person who delivered the betrothal gift was the steward of Shen's mansion. He said that Shen Xitang had ordered that all these be delivered to her yard, and that the booklet should be given to her personally so that she could put it away properly. In addition to the betrothal gift, the steward also He brought three rough ladies and four maids, saying that they would be responsible for taking care of her during this period, and they would also go with her to Shen's Mansion on the day of her wedding.
There are also several guards who are dedicated to protecting her safety. They see that Liaoyan Residence does not allow anyone to come in or out at will. When Jiang Xun heard this, he understood what Shen Xitang meant. He was trying to prevent a fire in the backyard, and he didn't want another gentleman like him to break the window and pick flowers.
…
After Su Xun recognized his identity, he moved into the Yan Mansion. Mrs. Yan ordered her to clean up a courtyard that was larger than the Liaoyan Residence. The environment should be quiet and comfortable, but it had been unoccupied for too long, and it seemed a bit chaotic. , Su Xun hadn't packed it up when she first moved in. Although she didn't say it, she felt unhappy in her heart. She went to Liaoyan Residence to have a look. She saw that Liaoyan Residence was full of flowers and plants, and the house was also full of flowers and plants. It was full of valuable and rare ornaments, and she felt extremely angry. She resented that Old Mrs. Yan was not good enough to her, and tried to think of ways to get rid of all the maids serving in Jiang Xun's room.
Old Mrs. Yan originally chose the big courtyard for her to compensate for the suffering she had suffered these days. Unexpectedly, she was not satisfied and came to ask for Jiang Xun's maid again. Although Old Mrs. Yan was not happy , but he still felt guilty for her, so he agreed. In the end, he relented and left a maid for Jiang Xun. Only Yingqiao took the initiative to say that she wanted to stay.
After Su Xun took Jiang Xun's maid away, he was happy for a while. He had been a maid in the Xiao Mansion for so long. Although Mrs. Xiao was very kind to her, she also treated her as a maid. She had always been serving people, and now she finally She became the master, and there were many maids to serve her. She felt that her good days were coming.
Su Xun thought that the next thing she had to do was to plan her marriage, perform well in front of Mrs. Yan, and ask her to find a good husband for her. Didn't Xiao Wanghe come here to propose marriage before? Although he originally wanted to marry Jiang Xun, but now that Jiang Xun's identity has been exposed, he will definitely not be able to enter the Xiao family. So can he make the mistake and marry her, a real noble girl? .
The first night Su Xun lived in Yan Mansion, she thought about it all night, imagining her bright future. Early the next morning, she went to Mrs. Yan's house to show her courtesy. She heard that the few people who were originally serving Jiang Xun The maids told how Jiang Xun used to please Mrs. Yan, and listened to what they told her and imitated Jiang Xun's conversation with Mrs. Yan.
Unexpectedly, she looked like this, not only did she learn only four-dimensional images, but it also made Mrs. Yan miss the time when Jiang Xun was here even more. Although she was angry that Jiang Xun had lied to her, she was also really worried about Jiang Xun, so she talked to Su Xun. Sometimes, I can't help but reveal my worries and concerns.
When Su Xun was feeling bored and about to leave, a servant suddenly came in and reported that someone was coming from the palace. He also brought an imperial edict to announce the decree. Everyone thought it was about the eldest master. It happened that the eldest master had given the emperor a message a few days ago. Everyone thought they would be rewarded for doing things well, and everyone was very happy. Mrs. Yan also stood up quickly.
Su Xun already regarded himself as a member of the Yan family, and naturally everyone was prosperous, so his eyes lit up when he heard this, and everyone went to the front yard to wait for the order. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, no one from the palace came, and it took a long time to come. People say that the father-in-law went to Liayanju with the imperial edict.
Su Xun's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "How is that possible?"
Although this was everyone's wish, she was the only one who shouted it out loud. Old Mrs. Yan frowned and looked at her, then continued to ask the servant: "What's going on? What are you doing in Liaoyanju?"
The servant said: "Your Majesty has granted marriage to the one in Liaoyanju."
Jiang Xun's status in the Yan Mansion is very embarrassing. He is neither a master nor a servant. It is really hard to call him, but everyone knows who he is talking about.
Su Xun exclaimed again: "What? Marriage?"
Who is she? How could the emperor recognize her? How could he grant her a marriage? Could it be that the princess heard that she was a fake and begged the emperor to give her to some prince as a concubine or to give her to some lowly young general to satisfy her hatred
Mrs. Yan was also very surprised and asked: "How could this happen? Who is the marriage to?"
The servant hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's General Shen Xitang."
As soon as his words came out, there was silence all around, and everyone's jaws dropped.
Who doesn't know who Shen Xitang is? How many women begged to marry him? A few years ago, there was an incident. A concubine in the Qi family made a trick for her concubine to marry Shen Xitang. Tang looked around and saw that Shen Xitang turned around and left. The concubine was so humiliated that she was married off by her family. The Qi family was also a big family in the capital. After such an incident, they Everyone knew that he had angered Shen Xitang, and those under him deliberately suppressed the Qi family in order to please Shen Xitang.
Since then, the enthusiasm for him among the women in the capital has only increased, but most of them only dare to hide it in their hearts.
Moreover, it is known to everyone that Princess Qingjue loves Shen Xitang. In order not to offend Princess Qingjue, most noble ladies do not dare to provoke Shen Xitang.
Therefore, Su Xun had never had any thoughts about Shen Xitang. Although those who saw Shen Xitang from a distance in Xiao Mansion were deeply attracted by his grace, they only had a glimpse and did not dare to have other thoughts.
But... now she heard something! ? The emperor actually proposed marriage to Jiang Xun and Shen Xitang
Doesn't she have something wrong with her ears
She looked at the other people around her, all of whom had shocked faces. She had a bad feeling in her heart and said hurriedly: "Say it again."
"The emperor has decreed that the eldest master's adopted daughter Jiang Xun will be betrothed to General Shen. The auspicious date has been chosen and the marriage will be completed in two months."
Adopted daughter? What's going on
… …
Su Xun finally accepted this fact. God knows, she now wants to rush to Liaoyanju to ask Jiang Xun, sincerely ask her for advice and ask her how she did it.
Not only her, but the entire Yan Mansion was in a state of excitement. No one expected that after yesterday's shocking incident, something even more unimaginable would happen than Jiang Xun pretending to be a noble girl.
The emperor has granted marriage to Shen Xitang, and the marriage partner is not Princess Qingjue. If Princess Qingjue finds out, wouldn't it be a big deal? Doesn't the emperor love Princess Qingjue the most
Moreover, the lintel of the Shen family is so high, how can they accept a wife of Jiang Xun's status
This is unbelievable, but such a thing happened. The emperor not only granted marriage, but also forced the elder to recognize Jiang Xun as his adopted daughter. He sent so many treasures, clearly to support Jiang Xun. .
Everyone in the Yan Mansion was discussing this matter and everyone was curious. In the end, the eldest lady went to Liaoyan Residence first. After the eldest lady came back, she asked the eldest lady and Sanniang Zi to go to Liaoyan Residence together. The gossip minds were all active, and everyone was saying privately that Jiang Xun must have used some method to charm General Shen, or that he had caught General Shen in some way. In short, there were many outrageous things he said.
Yingqiao came back angrily from outside and said to Jiang Xun: "Girl, you don't know what those people said about you. I became angry when I heard it. They said you were a thousand-year-old fox who seduced General Shen's soul. They also said, You discovered General Shen's secret and threatened General Shen to marry you. This is too ridiculous, it's obviously General Shen... "Bullying the girl."
Yingqiao thought of Shen Xitang's terrifying look yesterday, and she felt frightened for a moment, and swallowed it before she could finish her words.
General Shen is so fierce. If the girl marries him, will she be bullied
Yingqiao became worried and felt that she had harmed the girl. She was the one who told Shen Xitang that Jiang Xun was drugged that day, and Shen Xitang saved the girl. Maybe it was that time that something happened between the two of them...
"What others say, let them do it." Jiang Xun said with a faint smile.
"But… "
"It's nothing, don't worry."
Jiang Xun still looked calm, as if nothing could affect her.
"By the way, when the father-in-law left just now, he said that Princess Qingjue asked you to enter the palace the day after tomorrow. What should I do?" Yingqiao said nervously.
Jiang Xundao: "I won't go."
"Is it possible not to go?" Yingqiao asked worriedly, "Won't Princess Qingjue be angry?"
Jiang Xun blinked, had a plan in mind, and said to Yingqiao: "Come here, I'll tell you."
Yingqiao came close to her, and Jiang Xun whispered a few words to her, "Go and do it."
