Chapter 101 The General's Mansion Asks for a Dowry
As expected, Mrs. Jianghou was very disappointed when she heard that Shen Sisi had not bought the beauty pill.
Since she started to have contact with Shen Zhifeng, she has gradually paid more attention to dressing up and taking care of herself. She always feels that she has more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, her skin is a little dull, and she needs to buy new clothes.
Now I heard that the noble ladies in Kyoto are all looking for this beauty elixir, so naturally I wanted to try it.
Shen Shensi stood in front of Jiang Lin with a guilty look on her face: "Brother Lin, it's all my fault. I didn't grab it. Will my mother be unhappy? But the store said there will still be some in three days, so I will definitely go there early in the morning. "
Seeing Shen Sisi's anxious and weak look, Jiang Lin comforted him: "How can I blame you? Anyway, I just have to wait a few more days. It'll be okay. I'll be the one to talk to you."
"Well, Brother Lin, you are so gentle and considerate. With you here, I don't have to worry about anything." Shen Sisi said, her eyes full of love and nostalgia, which made Jiang Lin's heart suddenly swell.
The two were tired of each other for a long time before they separated.
But knowing that Shen Shensi wanted to buy it, Shen Qingyun refused to let her do it.
So three days later, Shen Sisi still didn't buy it.
Mrs. Jiang Hou couldn't wait any longer, and she complained more and more: "I've been waiting to take it every day. Is it because Sisi thinks it's too expensive, but she actually doesn't want to buy it, so she's just pretending."
Jiang Lin was a little embarrassed: "Mom, Sisi is not that kind of person."
Mrs. Jiang Hou glared at him: "I have worked hard to raise you to such a big age, and you haven't even married yet. You only know how to speak for her, and what's the point of getting married? Last time I said three days, this time I said three days. When will it be over? I have been waiting for so long."
Jiang Lin also sighed. He didn't understand what was so good about the beauty pill. It was so expensive and a small bottle was not enough for a month. So what if you couldn't buy it.
However, he still vaguely reminded Shen Sisi that her mother had some opinions on her because of this matter.
When Shen Sisi heard this, she was so angry that she bought it for herself if she could afford it. He was reluctant to give up the money and even chewed her tongue behind her back. She is so old and still thinks about dressing up all day long. Do you think she doesn't know the reason?
Immediately I shed a few tears of grievance.
Jiang Lin felt distressed when he saw it: "Forget it if you can't buy it, it's not a big deal."
Shen Shensi thought to herself that she knew about Mrs. Jianghou's scandal. Once she passed the door, if Mrs. Jianghou dared to embarrass her, she would definitely make her humiliate herself.
But some time later, Ye Yu from the Minister's Office of the Ministry of Rites sent a message to the Duke's Office, inviting Shen Sisi and Shen Qingyun to play together.
There was no other reason. Ye Yu grabbed a few cans of beauty elixirs at the beginning and took care of them carefully for a month or two. His skin turned out to be fairer and more delicate by several degrees. Naturally, he couldn't wait for everyone he knew to see it. Metamorphosis.
Because the information about this beauty pill came from Shen Qingyun, she posted a message to both sisters in the Shen family.
Shen Shensi rarely has a few gatherings now, so she got up early that day to try on dresses. The upper body was a pink-blue short jacket with a round neck and pipa sleeves, and the lower body was an off-white pleated skirt with some pink flowers embroidered on it. It was quite suitable. Yingzhang, a beautiful and beautiful woman.
She knew that she could not compare with Shen Qingyun's elegance, so she tried her best to bring out her own elegance, which was also unique.
Hongyu praised hypocritically: "Miss, you are so beautiful dressed like this."
A satisfied smile appeared on Shen Sisi's face. She turned around in a circle and admired herself before saying, "Okay, let's go."
But when they arrived at the residence of the Minister of Rites, the ladies were chattering around Ye Yu and Shen Qingyun, praising their good looks and discussing the beauty pill, but she was almost left aside.
Even a few young ladies who were familiar with her in the past also stayed away from her after hearing that Han and Shen Zhifeng had reconciled.
Shen Sisi's inner distortion almost reached its peak at this moment.
She was obviously not the Han family's child, and she had never been pampered by the Han family in the Duke's palace. The Han family divorced her, but her reputation had to be damaged along with it.
After the party was over, I went back to my house feeling suffocated. Shen Sisi sat alone in the boudoir until evening. It was getting dark, but not even a lamp was lit in the room.
Now marrying into the Marquis Mansion is her way out.
Hongyu opened the door carefully and came in: "Miss, it's time for dinner."
Shen Shensi nodded, walked out of the house, went straight to Yansong Hall after dinner, and immediately threw herself into the old lady's arms.
The old lady was startled: "Ah, what's going on? Didn't I hear that I went to the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Rites as a guest, but I was wronged?"
After all, she grew up by her side, and the old lady still has some sincere love for Shen Sisi.
Shen Shensi frowned and told what happened today in an exaggerated way.
The old lady sighed: "Hey, it's all your mother's cruelty. She doesn't care about your reputation at all. Seeing that you are getting married, she doesn't even have a decent dowry."
Hearing this, Shen Sisi couldn't help sobbing: "Grandma, it's okay for me to be a little wronged, but I can't even afford exquisite brocade and embroidery thread. When I get married, I'm afraid that others will look down on our father-in-law. My granddaughter is really unfilial."
"How can I blame you?" The old lady hugged Shen Shen and thought, her eyes full of resentment: "Ms. Han is selfish. Speaking of which, she is not even my biological mother. You were innocently implicated by her, and she should make up for it." Yours, after all, you are still her daughter in name only."
Shen Shensi buried her head in the old lady's arms, her eyes flashed with light, but her voice was extremely aggrieved: "Grandma, what should we do?"
"Tomorrow you can follow me to the General's Mansion to find Mrs. Han and ask her to give you a dowry!" The old lady snorted coldly.
Shen Shensi raised the corner of her mouth slightly and shook the old lady coquettishly: "Grandma, you are the best to me."
The next day, the grandfather and grandson packed up and got into the carriage to go to the general's mansion.
Yicui found out and was a little worried: "Miss, don't you go and take a look?"
Shen Qingyun shook his head: "I have sent Han Feng to keep an eye on her. My mother is now in the General's Mansion and will not be bullied. I believe she will slowly handle these matters."
The old lady and Shen Sisi were also discussing, and Shen Sisi was a little uneasy: "Grandma, what if my mother doesn't want to pay for the dowry?"
The old lady said disdainfully: "Ms. Han has always been weak. Besides, if she is unwilling to give out the dowry, I will be unjust if she is not kind. Then we will make a fuss at the gate of the general's mansion. Let's see if she can bear it as a divorced woman." !”
Shen Shensi also nodded happily.
As a result, the two of them arrived at the General's Mansion. Not to mention seeing Han Rou, the gatekeeper heard that someone from the Duke's Mansion was coming and wouldn't even let them in.
The old lady was so angry that she stood at the door of the General's Mansion and shouted: "Han Rou, are you so heartless that you just want to reconcile with my son and don't even care about your own daughter?"
Shen Shensi stood aside and cried silently.
For a time, many people gathered around to watch the fun.
The housekeeper poked his head out from the door, saw Shen Shensi, and sneered: "My lady has only one daughter, and that is Little Miss Qingyun, who is this?"
