Chapter 785 No One Needs to Teach Her
It was not until he looked at himself in the mirror with a gorgeous crown on his head that Shen Shuyi came to his senses a little.
So, in this life, is she really going to get married?
This feeling is really different from my previous life.
Perhaps because she knew Xie Jingchi's character, she no longer had the confusion and anxiety of her previous life, and became calm and composed.
Although she lacks the shyness and expectation of a young girl, she still feels full of yearning.
In this life, she has become a more powerful person.
Mrs. Chen Guo smiled and said, "She is such a stunning beauty. Our Lord Xie is so lucky to have her."
Lian Qiao smiled and said, "Yes, Sister Yi is so beautiful that even if I were a woman, I would want to possess her!"
Yao Huiyan smiled and said, "That won't work. Master Xie won't agree to that."
Madam Zhao sighed and wiped her tears: "Seeing this scene reminds me of your mother's wedding. But you are smarter than your mother, and you will definitely live happily."
Tong Xuan's eyes turned red: "Miss, you will definitely do it."
The eldest aunt praised with some envy, "I heard that Mr. Xie's betrothal gifts this time are as high as 188 pieces, and His Majesty also gave a lot of royal items, it's really a ten-mile red dowry."
"That's right. Our sister Yi's dowry was not small, a total of 168 loads, including 20 loads awarded by the Empress Dowager and 10 loads awarded by Concubine Jing. The weight of the dowry was so heavy that the luggage racks could not hold up." Old Madam Zhao said with a smile.
Zhang Jinping also smiled with envy in her eyes, but Mrs. Shen's smile was not so pretty.
The Shen family was in serious deficit now, and they could barely scrape together 128 loads of dowry for Shen Shuyi.
After all, she is a princess. Even though she married into the Shen family, she cannot lose face, otherwise it would be a slap in the face of the royal family.
But Zhang Jinping is now in charge of the household expenses, and she knows better than anyone that it is extremely difficult for the Shen family to collect this 128 loads of dowry.
Madam Shen hesitated for a long time and added a lot of things from her own private storehouse, so that the 128 loads would not be so fancy.
What Zhang Jinping didn't expect was that Xie Jingchi actually sent someone to inquire about the list. She was afraid that Xie Jingchi would be picky and dissatisfied.
Who would have known that after seeing it, Mr. Xie would simply let her sell all the worthless things in it and exchange them for silver bills.
The silver note was left to Shen Shuyi, and Xie Jingchi sent someone to deliver the corresponding things to make up for the other things.
Zhang Jinping had never seen those good things in her life. Those things were so good that she seriously suspected whether Xie Jingchi had also embezzled a lot of money.
Otherwise, how could he have such a strong family background when he was so young and helpless?
Zhang Jinping hesitated again and again and wanted to inform Shen Shuyi, but Xie Jingchi said that he had already given clear instructions to the emperor and asked her not to say anything more.
She thought about it over and over again and couldn't make up her mind. After discussing it with her husband, she thought that Xie Jingchi was deeply favored by the emperor and would not dare to speak rashly, so she reluctantly agreed.
In this way, the 128 loads of dowry became real.
But unexpectedly, the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion gave a lot of money. Perhaps they knew that the Shen family did not have much wealth, so the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion was generous and directly gave another 88 loads of dowry.
But if these eighty-eight loads were displayed in public, the total amount would be more than the betrothal gifts, which would be embarrassing for the man.
This made Zhang Jinping very worried. She had to have someone make a new box and barely put all the dowry together. She also discarded some old things from the Shen family and converted them into silver.
Later, the Empress Dowager awarded another twenty loads of real goods, and Concubine Jing also awarded ten loads.
As a result, the 168 loads could no longer hold anything. Zhang Jinping became more familiar with the situation and directly exchanged the things that took up space among the things sent by the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion into silver bills. After explaining the situation to Shen Shuyi, she handed them to her.
Therefore, although Shen Shuyi's dowry now also weighs 168 loads, it is real and does not contain any water at all.
This made Zhang Jinping worry about her daughter's marriage. She had been looking for a couple for You Ran for a long time, but after looking around, she couldn't find anyone she was satisfied with...
What's more, the Shen family is in financial deficit now, and who knows how poor Youran's family will be when she gets married.
Shen Meiru, Shen Qinghuan and several daughters of the second wife all said auspicious words.
On such a festive day, Shen Shuyi patiently responded to everyone who came and said auspicious words, and never let anyone down.
As for Shen Jingzhen, the Feng family considered it again and again and finally did not let her come.
Although they also wanted Shen Shuyi to see Shen Jingzhen's current appearance, so that she and Xie Jingchi could believe the Feng family's attitude towards them.
But Shen Jingzhen was not a person who would keep quiet. They were even more afraid that Shen Jingzhen would cause trouble on such a happy day, and then completely offend Xie Jingchi and Shen Shuyi.
After much thought, Feng Bochang didn't dare to take the risk. After all, it was well known that this marriage was requested by Xie Jingchi himself in front of His Majesty.
Moreover, Shen Jingzhen had only ridiculed Shen Shuyi a few times, but Xie Jingchi was so vindictive. If there was really any unhappiness in his marriage, Feng Bochang didn't know how Xie Jingchi would retaliate against the Feng family.

At this moment, Xie Jingchi was wearing a bright red Qilin robe with gold edges and riding on a tall white horse.
The guards behind him were also very handsome, which aroused the love of men, women, young and old on the street. There was even a girl throwing her handkerchief in the street above the restaurant, completely ignoring the fact that they were on the way to a wedding.
However, Fufeng and Bicheng were both very skilled in martial arts, and did not allow any external objects to fall on Xie Jingchi at all.
The sound of gongs and drums was full of joy. Although the matchmaker was also smiling, she was a nanny from the palace and had a dignified and graceful demeanor.
Li Yun was sent to help Xie Jingchi welcome his bride as a token of the emperor's grace.
Xie Jingchi's face was stern, but anyone could see that he was in a good mood at the moment.
Not long after, Xie Jingchi dismounted outside the Shen Mansion. Shen Shuyi, with her veil covered, walked to the door supported by Jinzhu and Yuping.
Liang Wanjun followed Shen Jing'an, looking at the handsome and dignified man, and couldn't help feeling dazed.
Shen Shuyi's life was really smooth. Not only was she given the title of princess, but she also had such a perfect husband.
Shen Jingan and a few cousins blocked the door and began to ask questions to test Xie Jingchi.
Unfortunately, Xie Jingchi's reputation is well known to everyone, and those who want to see him make a fool of himself will only bring shame upon themselves.
After successfully passing the test, Xie Jingchi bowed to the group led by Shen Jingan and said, "Admit it."
Shen Jing'an smiled and said, "I hope my brother-in-law will treat Sister Yi well in the future. If she does anything wrong, I hope my brother-in-law will forgive her and be more humble to her. Sister Yi has a stubborn temper, and as her brother, I will teach her more..."
Xie Jingchi's gaze fell on Shen Jingan with a playful look.
He didn't want to make things too awkward on a day like this, but unfortunately, the way some people talk is really unpleasant.
"No, she's very good and I don't need anyone to teach her."
Xie Jingchi's words could barely be considered polite, but they made everyone look at Shen Jingan with a little more subtlety.
Shen Jingan clenched his fists, feeling embarrassed.
