Early in the morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, the convoy led by Fan Yuru set off from Wuchang Mansion to Yingtian Mansion in a low-key manner.
The carriage used by Prince Rui's Mansion is faster than the mule carriage used by Shen's Mansion. The carriage is made of fine nanmu, and the four walls are carefully carved with patterns. The four walls of the carriage are covered with thick felt. Even the cold wind can't get through.
The carriage is covered with an exotic Persian jacquard blanket, which is not only thick but also soft.
Several soft gold silk elastic pillows and Suzhou embroidery elastic Wufu brocade quilts are neatly placed on one side for use. They are very comfortable whether you want to lie down or sit in the car.
There are many hidden compartments in the carriage, including tea sets and tableware for daily use and chess sets for children to relieve their boredom.
The most rare thing is that I don't know what kind of mechanism is added under the carriage, and the shock absorption effect is many times stronger than that of ordinary carriages. When driving on the official road, it is extremely smooth, and you can hardly feel any big vibration.
Before setting off from Wuchang Mansion, Shen Tianshu did not forget to write the next stage of the prescription for Chen Lao Fengjun and gave it to Li Zian, asking him to deliver it on his behalf.
"Ms. Shen said that she originally thought she could give the old lady a follow-up consultation, but she decided to travel at the last minute, so she had to write down the prescription first. The old lady will take this medicine for six days now. If she does get better, the prescription will be verified, and then If you continue to use this recipe for a while, you should get better."
Hearing this, Princess Fengrong turned to Chen Lao Fengjun and said, "I'm just telling you that child is careful, right?"
"The concubine has been in the palace for most of her life, and her judgment of people is much better than ours. The person you like must be right." Chen Lao Fengjun just started taking the medicine prescribed by Shen Tianshu this morning. I don't feel any improvement, but I also appreciate Shen Tianshu's carefulness.
"I heard that another girl from the Shen family is temporarily staying in Wuchang Mansion? Send someone to take care of her and make sure nothing goes wrong." Concubine Fengrong only knew that Shen Tianshu went to the Jiang family in Yingtian Mansion to find a cure. The prince's method, so he couldn't help but care.
"Don't worry, grandma, I've made all the arrangements." Li Zian said, "Mother has also sent someone to the Shen Mansion to deliver the letter."
The back house of the magistrate's yamen in Yongzhou Prefecture, although there were only two people missing since Shen Tianshu took Shen Yunhui to Wuchang Prefecture, it seemed to have suddenly become much deserted.
Especially during the meal on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there were only four people sitting around the large dining table. It seemed that even the festive atmosphere of the festival was much lighter than in previous years.
"Tian Shu and Yun Hui will be back in two days. Fortunately, the weather has been good recently, so the journey should go smoothly."
Shen Yunyao couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this. When she thought that the two people she usually didn't like at all went to the palace, but she could only stay at home and be grounded, and had to copy the female precepts. She I felt very aggrieved in my heart.
After finally waiting for the Lantern Festival, with Mrs. Xu's intercession, Shen Zhonglei exempted her from today's punishment, which made her mood slightly better. As soon as she sat down to eat, Shen Zhonglei looked like he was missing Shen Tianshu and Shen Yunhui. The appearance is really unappetizing.
"Dad, Mom, wouldn't it be nice for Yuan Lin and I to spend the holidays with you?" This is the real family in Shen Yunyao's mind.
As for Shen Tianshu and Shen Yunhui, it would be best if they never come back.
Shen Zhonglei nodded when he heard the words: "Of course it's good to have you with me, but wouldn't it be better if the whole family is here, and it will be more lively."
Shen Yunyao was about to say something else, but she remembered that Mrs. Xu had been teaching her to think twice before speaking, and she was afraid of making Shen Zhonglei unhappy again, so she tried hard to swallow back the words that had reached her lips.
Shen Zhonglei originally planned that after five or six days, his two daughters should come back anyway. On the second day of the first lunar month, no servants came back quickly to report the news. He couldn't help but feel worried and sent someone out of the city to meet them in the direction of Wuchang Mansion. A welcome.
The next day, Dou Qi, who was sent to the city, returned.
"I've met the master." Dou Qi went into the city early in the morning and returned home. He kowtowed to Shen Zhonglei and said, "I rode out of the city to meet the master as the master said. I didn't meet the two girls, but I met the two girls sent by Prince Rui's Mansion. The messenger."
Shen Zhonglei couldn't help but feel worried when he heard this. He didn't come back, only the messenger from the palace came. Could it be that the two children broke into something in the palace?
"Where is he? Invite him to the flower hall for tea first. I'll be there right away." Shen Zhonglei said anxiously, "Here, come, hurry up and wash up and change clothes."
Mrs. Xu came out of the inner room and couldn't help but frown when she heard this.
Although the two people who went to the banquet were not her biological children, if any scandal really happened, outsiders would not care about whose belly the scandalous person was born. In the end, the Shen family would still be blamed. .
If it affects Shen Zhonglei's career or his daughter's choice of a future husband, it would be an unforeseen disaster.
So she was worried and planned to go there with Shen Zhonglei to take a look.
Shen Zhonglei packed himself up as quickly as possible and hurried to the flower hall. Sure enough, he saw a young man wearing the uniform of a palace guard sitting in the hall drinking tea.
"Master Shen." When the visitor saw Shen Zhonglei entering the room, he stood up quickly and saluted with his hands raised.
Shen Zhonglei paid attention to the other party's expression and tone, and felt that he was still very polite to him, so he felt a little at ease and said: "I wonder if the palace sent someone here, but why did the little girl do something wrong when she went to the palace for a banquet?"
"Master Shen, you are worrying too much. Both Miss Shen are well-educated and behave appropriately. How could they do anything wrong?"
On the night of the Lantern Festival, word spread throughout Prince Rui's Mansion that there was a very remarkable girl Shen from Yongzhou Mansion. Not only did she win the favor of the Queen Mother, but the Princess and the Prince also looked upon her with special regard.
So at this time, the guards spoke of Shen Tianshu in a very respectful tone.
"Master Shen really gave birth to a good daughter! Miss Shen was deeply loved by the Dowager Empress. After the Lantern Festival banquet, the empress specially kept Miss Shen by her side and asked Miss Shen to talk to her old man to relieve her boredom. We need to stay a little longer before letting Miss Shen go home. Therefore, the princess sent a servant here this time to deliver a message to Master Shen, so as not to worry you."
Shen Zhonglei couldn't believe his ears, and even wondered if he hadn't woken up at all, and was still dreaming at this moment!
Xu, who had been following Shen Zhonglei and was eavesdropping behind the screen in the flower hall, was also dumbfounded.
Shen Tianshu? Princess Fengrong?
How could these two incomparable people get together?
What else did the man say, that the Dowager Empress asked Shen Tianshu to accompany her, which was simply unbelievable.
With Shen Tianshu's personality, even her own grandmother couldn't like her. How could she be so attracted by the Dowager Empress?
Prince Rui's palace is choosing a person for the prince this time. Isn't it just based on looks?
