Chapter 364 Marriage Grant
Shen Teng knew that his struggle was futile, so he could only sit back on the armchair in defeat!
"Say it!"
"You know what I'm going to say!"
Shen Teng said angrily: "How should I know? I'm not a worm in your stomach!"
Lu Shian sighed: "Shen Teng, Mr. Shen, you know I am not a good match!"
"Whether it's a good match or not, we can only know after we have matched them!"
"Shen Teng, don't be angry. You are a good person. You have a good family background and you are an even better person! I believe you will find someone who shares the same mind as you!"
"I found it. That person is you. I have chosen you. Just tell me whether you will marry me or not!"
Lu Shian laughed: "Why is our Master Shen still acting like a child?"
"Shi'an, I'm really good. Look at my father. He's also very good. Although I'm not the most handsome, I can give you the best life, even more luxurious than the ladies and princesses in the palace!"
Lu Shian: ...
"I'm living a good life now, and I don't necessarily have to live a luxurious life!"
"I'm just giving you an example. You see, if you marry into the family, there won't be any mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues. You can directly manage the family. Our family doesn't have any advantages, except that we have a lot of money. As long as the problem can be solved with money, our family can solve it! And I won't take a concubine. You see, after my mother passed away, my father was alone for so many years and never thought of finding another one. This is our family's tradition!!"
"And look at me, I'm just a little fat, I'll look pretty good when I lose weight, if you don't like me being fat, I can also lose weight!"
"Shen Teng!" Lu Shian looked at him apologetically: "I'm sorry!"
"I shouldn't have agreed to pretend to be someone you like. I really couldn't!"
"Do you have someone you like?" Shen Teng's voice was low, but it made Lu Shian feel painful!
She wanted to say no, but she was afraid that he would not give up!
"Yeah!" She nodded slightly, and Shen Cuo's face flashed through her mind!
"Hey, it turns out there's someone I like..."
"Do I recognize him?"
Lu Shian didn't say anything! She didn't know what to say!
"Is it Shen's fault?"
Lu Shian froze and looked at him in surprise!
Shen Teng shrugged: "I'm not stupid. The way you look at him is different. Don't you know that?"
Lu Shian: ...
"sorry."
Shen Teng exhaled heavily: "Okay, if you really don't want to get married, I can't really force you."
"Then our business..."
"Business is business. You can rest assured that I, Shen Teng, am not a petty person."
"Then your father..."
"I'll go and tell him. At worst I'll get beaten up."
If Shen Teng acted very strong or made unreasonable demands, Lu Shian might still feel at ease, but looking at Shen Teng like this, she really felt annoyed and uncomfortable.
The two chatted for a while, just making small talk.
What, what did you do during the Chinese New Year, were you happy during the Chinese New Year, what did you eat, why didn’t Madam Shen come, and so on…
Finally, Shen Teng saw through Lu Shian's embarrassment and said, "Oh, that's enough, go ahead and do your business. Our business will not change. We in the Shen family will not have a problem with money. As long as it is not a sinful money, we in the Shen family will make money."
Lu Shian then said goodbye and left. After walking out of the Shen Mansion, Lu Shian raised his head and glanced at the lintel of the Shen family's door.
I rejected him today, maybe I will never meet such a good man in the future!
The sixth day of the lunar month.
The court officials' day off was over, and the Marquis and Lu Jingxun also got up early to attend court.
Lu Shian looked at the sun outside and the unmelted snow at the corner of the wall, and his mind had already wandered into the void.
Lu Xianchun walked in quickly from outside: "It's too cold outside. The sun is so bright, but they are still freezing. I don't know how the ordinary people survive."
Yu Xiuying smiled and said, "How can we survive? We just have to endure it. When we were in Huaishu Village, our family prepared firewood for the winter early on. But we didn't dare to burn it casually. Most of the firewood had to be sold in the county town. At that time, we didn't have enough food or warm clothes. Every winter, our hands and feet would be frozen and our faces would be covered with frostbite. We didn't enjoy the good life like we do now."
As she spoke, she touched the hot water bottle in her hand. She had never dared to imagine such a day before, and she could not even dream of such a life.
Nanny Zhang rushed in from outside and almost fell down on the road because she ran too fast.
"Imperial edict, imperial edict, Miss Shi'an, please come and receive it."
Lu Shian sat up from the rocking chair: "Imperial edict?"
Nanny Zhang finally came up to her and said, "Yes, many people came from the palace, bringing many things with them, saying they are here to read the imperial edict. This is for you."
"For me?"
Lu Shian looked at Yu Xiuying and Lu Xianchun. They both didn't know why the imperial edict came to Lu Shian at this time.
Lu Xianchun said: "No matter what it is, let's go there quickly."
Lu Shian stood up and was about to go out, but Lu Xianchun called him back: "Change your clothes, Lu'er, come and help your young lady with her hair."
Lu Shian changed his clothes and headgear, and immediately looked noble.
Lu Xianchun nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go."
The father-in-law who read the imperial edict saw Lu Shian coming and immediately smiled and complimented: "Congratulations, Miss Shian, congratulations, Miss Shian."
Lu Shian felt inexplicably uneasy.
The imperial edict was for Lu Shian, so she knelt at the front, followed by the Marquis, his wife, Lu Jingxun, Yu Xiuying, Dong Xuaner, Wang Xuening, Lu Xianchun, etc.
In short, all the people in the Marquis' Mansion were there, kneeling in a large crowd.
"The Emperor, by the order of Heaven and Mandate, hereby proclaims: The second daughter of the Marquisate, Lu Shi'an, is a wise and brilliant woman, and she is in love with the Crown Prince. I hereby grant you the title of Crown Prince's concubine and choose a date for your marriage. I decree this."
Grant marriage...
The Crown Prince's Concubine...
Lu Shian collapsed on the ground, how could this happen.
The father-in-law smiled from ear to ear: "Miss Shi'an, please accept my order and express your gratitude."
Yu Xiuying didn't know whether to laugh or not. She turned to look at Lu Shian, and her eyes suddenly became moist.
"Shian..."
Lu Jingxun smiled so hard that his mouth almost reached his ears: "Shi'an, quickly accept the order."
Lu Shian swallowed and reached out to take it woodenly, but Lu Jingxun held her back.
"You must kneel down to thank me for my order."
"I, Lu Shi'an, accept the order and thank you. Long live the emperor."
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict joked, "Miss Shi'an is so happy. Look, the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine have sent you gifts."
Lu Shian looked up and saw that there were indeed many people behind his father-in-law. They were holding things in their hands, or two people were carrying boxes. It was obvious from the scene that there were a lot of things.
"The Empress Dowager gave me ten pieces of Yun brocade, ten pieces of Shu brocade, and ten sets of head ornaments..."
The Empress Dowager gave a lot of rewards, and the Imperial Concubine also gave a lot.
After Lu Shian thanked him again, the Marquis happily gave his father-in-law a gold ingot.
Lu Shian, holding the imperial edict in his hand, went to Tingfeng Garden in a daze.
Yu Xiuying and Lu Xianchun followed her worriedly: "Shian, are you okay?"
Lu Shian acted as if he didn't hear anything and continued walking forward.
The Marquis was extremely happy, he never expected that Lu Shian would be granted the title of concubine.
You have to know that the emperor just announced the decree to enthrone the second prince as the crown prince in the morning, and the enthronement ceremony would be held on February 2. It hasn't even been morning yet, but even the concubine has been selected, and the concubine is from his mansion.
