Chapter 41: hired
Chapter 41 Hiring
"I haven't heard of any big family getting engaged today."
"What a big family, with this posture, no matter what, they must be relatives of the emperor!"
A team of chariots and horses walked forward in an orderly manner, and stopped at the gate of Earl Anding's Mansion amidst the exclamation of everyone.
Si Yan had already sent someone to say hello, saying that he was coming to deliver the dowry today.
Although Zhong Ning was mentally prepared, when she came out and saw the full yard, she was still taken aback.
Is this... Si Yan so rich?
The most conspicuous thing is the box full of gold, silver and jewelry. The gold accessories are all big. Just looking at the posture is worth thousands of taels.
Not to mention the pearls and agates adorning the head, I heard that these things are very rare, not found in Da Zou, they are all imported from the Western Regions.
There are ten carts of good cloth, and even the most difficult to buy Shu brocade occupies a cart.
As for others, there are countless seafood such as jade wares, pastries, fine wines, dried fruits, chicken, duck, fish, ginseng and abalone.
Finally, there is a pair of fat and lively wild geese.
Today is the day of appointment, so a lot of relatives from the Shen family came. After all, the other party is also a member of the Houfu, and the marriage was bestowed by the Holy One, so they have to come to support the scene.
Of course, this is what it means on the surface. In fact, behind the scenes, there may be many people who come to see the joke.
Shen Li married for the second time, and the one she married was still "disabled". They all said that she could be cured in the future, but who knows, anyway, she is now sitting in a wheelchair.
But looking at it now...
Although Si Yan was sitting in a wheelchair, he did not lose his momentum at all. He was dressed in a brocade robe and looked dignified.
Old lady Yin's eyes were red when she saw the things in this yard.
This belongs to her Shen family!
At this time, she looked at Si Yan much more pleasingly. After Si Yan entered the door, before Zhong Ning stepped forward to speak, the old lady Yin went up to meet him first.
She went straight to Guan Fu, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at the dowry list in his hand.
"Oh, just give me this list."
As she spoke, she was about to go up to grab it. Guan Fu had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly moved two steps to the side.
However, it was the first time for him to give a betrothal gift, and he didn't know why it still happened, so he cast a look at Si Yan asking for help.
Si Yan looked up, his face was calm and unwavering.
"Who are you?"
Shen Li stood in the distance, almost dying of laughter at Si Yan's reaction, especially the old lady Yin's ashen face.
Old lady Yin was stopped by Si Yan's question mark.
She originally wanted to put on the posture of an elder, but she didn't expect that this person would not give her a chance at all.
Although the old lady Yin was a little bit resentful, she still explained patiently.
"I am Shen Li's grandmother, don't you recognize me?"
Si Yan said "Oh?", with a rising tone, he tidied up his clothes indifferently, and said casually.
"I really haven't heard of it."
He really doesn't know, after all, this marriage with Shen Li is just a stopgap measure, so it's impossible for him to bother to remember her family members.
Old lady Yin was very angry at his words, and seeing that he didn't apologize at all, she immediately became angry.
"Is this your attitude towards elders? Your mother never taught you to respect..."
Old lady Yin didn't know which sentence she said hit Si Yan's nerve.
I saw that Si Yan's originally sloppy expression suddenly became extremely frightening, and he looked at her coldly.
Frightened, Yin didn't dare to say the next thing.
Si Yan originally didn't want to meddle in Shen's family affairs, but this old lady really doesn't know how to flatter her.
