"Whatever you think, he is outside and won't listen to our discipline!" Sheng Xiangxun didn't pay attention to his youngest daughter's guess.
It doesn't matter whether his son has any difficulties, since he and his wife can't reach him anyway, let him be!
As a result, the father and daughter's conversation about Sheng Xin was suspended.
"It's just a pity that I can't travel anymore!" Sheng Xiangxun sighed.
Although the wedding date of the eldest daughter and the second prince has not yet been decided, the couple cannot travel far away with their eldest daughter who is waiting for the Qin Tian Jian and the Ministry of Rites to set a wedding date!
Of course, it is even more impossible for them to leave their eldest daughter in the house.
"If the traveling team hadn't been large enough and there were useful people in front of you three, we wouldn't have been able to let you go!"
Yi Sheng Xiangxun's original plan was to ask his eldest brother for a nephew to help escort the Shu family.
But before he could mention it to his eldest brother, the emperor agreed to Anyu traveling with him.
Based on his understanding of the emperor, he was assigned a bodyguard team on the surface, but there must be internal guards taking care of him secretly.
In this case, it would be nice to let the little girl go out and experience things.
Let them know that there is heaven and earth, and don't think that walking sideways in Kyoto is enough. Without the protection of family background, no one will take into account the mood of the emperor and the queen mother. Let's see who will easily buy their fault!
Of course, it is the emperor's wish to send people to take care of him secretly, and he, the old man, and the Baoxiang Hou Mansion will definitely send people to take care of him secretly.
Thinking of this, Sheng Xiangxun felt more relieved.
…
"This is a list of my dowry and property stored in Kyoto. You can keep a copy here."
Mrs. Shu called her sister to her and handed her the hairpin.
Shu Yajing unscrewed the hairpin and saw the rolled satin inside, and immediately understood: "Sister, did you embroider the list again?"
"It's embroidered on both sides. The handwriting is a little smaller, but it's still clear. Please help me put it away."
Shu Yajing nodded and casually inserted the hairpin into her bun.
"Who does sister plan to keep in the house?"
Shu's eyes swept through his sister's hair: "I don't have any of the nanny and maid that I need with me. Letting them look after the warehouse in the house is one thing, and it can also help me look after you."
"Stay them all?" Shu Yajing blinked and hesitated for a moment, but did not persuade her.
Although those people were very loyal, they were too loyal. No matter whether her sister was right or not, they would always obey her. Not only did she do as she was told, but they would sometimes get into trouble with her.
She doesn't have high demands. As long as no one follows her sister's attitude, maybe her sister and the prince will not have a tense relationship when they meet.
"Don't worry, I won't be out of the capital for long this time. It's time for the prince to return to the capital to report on his duties. We sisters will be reunited soon." Seeing her silence, Mrs. Shu thought that her sister was reluctant to leave, so she persuaded her with a smile. .
Since receiving the letter from home, Shu's depression has gradually eased, especially after the arrival of the guards provided by her family, she has become more open-minded.
Just like family members advised, since the arrangements cannot be changed, more arrangements should be made in advance.
"Sister Ya, please don't bother me by repeating the same old story. As I said, my future is like this, but you still have a chance... When I'm not in Kyoto, you have to take good care of me for later!"
Shu Yajing nodded and said yes quietly.
Seeing that she was not being perfunctory, Mr. Shu smiled and took her hand, asking her to learn to take care of the general affairs.
…
After returning to her room, Shu Yajing sat down in front of the dressing table tiredly, slowly took off the hairpin, looked at it in silence for a while, and then put it away.
Turning her head, she saw the letter of recommendation that she had hidden in her panic.
"Assistant student at the Imperial Academy... do you want to try to participate?"
Shu Yajing felt two exclamations of joy and anxiety coming from her chest.
The excitement and impulse to do bad things, the anxiety and guilt about doing bad things, intertwined into a big net, trapping her tightly, making her not sure whether to break free.
"The Imperial College, that's the Imperial College!"
Shu Yajing knew that if there weren't so many girls in the first batch who were willing to apply for the election, she might not even be able to get a letter of recommendation.
Without a letter of recommendation, it was even more impossible for a girl with little talent to apply for the election.
So...should we seize this opportunity?
My husband once said that if you don’t miss the opportunity, it won’t come again!
…
"Sister Yuan, this is the dress you are going to wear for your wedding ceremony. Take a look for yourself and see how it looks like?" Mrs. Zheng called her little daughter over and threw a picture album to her for her to take a look at. .
Sheng Yuan did not expect that her mother, who had been busy preparing a dowry for her sister, making arrangements for their upcoming trip, and attending to New Year's gifts, would still have time to prepare a thick volume of dresses for her. Atlas!
It’s so touching!
Sheng Yuan sniffed exaggeratedly and opened the album.
To be precise, there are only six dress styles in this thick album, but each dress is fully depicted in more than a dozen pictures.
It includes various detailed pictures of the dress such as front view, side view, back view, neckline, cuffs, belt, etc.
"All six sets are mine?" Sheng Yuan liked every item she looked at.
Although she usually wore shirts and pants for martial arts training and fighting, she still couldn't bear to put them down when she saw these beautiful dresses.
"Yes, they are all yours!" Madam Zheng was busy looking at the account book and nodded casually, "But when the time comes, you have to choose two of your favorite pieces to wear for the day and as a gift."
"Okay!" Sheng Yuan made her choice without hesitation.
Just choose bright red and orange!
"..." Mrs. Zheng paused when she heard this.
She didn't understand. She, her husband, the eldest son, and the eldest daughter all had very good, very good, very good aesthetics. How could the little girl be so vulgar and helpless?
"Isn't the goose yellow shiny satin skirt beautiful? Isn't the sapphire blue embroidered long skirt beautiful? Isn't the bright purple butterfly skirt not distinctive enough? Isn't the pink and green thousand-layer skirt elegant?"
Mrs. Zheng looked at her little daughter speechlessly: "Do you like red and orange so much?"
"You don't like me choosing these two items, so why did you choose them?" Sheng Yuan was puzzled.
Sir, sometimes you are so unreasonable.
If you don’t want your children to choose between these two colors, just say so!
I’ve chosen it but I’m not satisfied yet!
It’s really hard to take care of!
Mrs. Zheng looked at her little daughter pouting and rubbing her forehead with helplessness: "After all, this is your hair extension gift. I will prepare two dresses you like for you to wear on a daily basis!"
It's just for coaxing children, how can you, little girl, take it seriously?
"Since it's my hair extensions ceremony, then I should be happy to let me choose the dress I like! Right?!"
"Yes, yes! As long as you are happy!" Mrs. Zheng was too lazy to argue with her, so she gave her a few perfunctory words, thinking about improving the girl's aesthetics.
