Chapter 868 Conditions
Back at Qianqiu Palace, the decoction rewarded by Yu Wenyuan was delivered again.
Shang Ruyi finished the soup in silence and took a nap. When she got up again, it was almost dusk. She asked Tusheer to bring the key and went to the back hall to open one of her boxes. .
It was a camphor wood box that I had brought with me when I got married from the Shen family. It was huge and could hold two or three adults. After opening it, I found that the contents were all very familiar to Tu Sheer. Shang Ruyi ignored the belongings and utensils brought by the Shen family and picked up one of the three one-foot-square agarwood boxes lined up in the corner.
Except for the box itself, the contents are not heavy on the hand, and it is precisely because it is not heavy on the hand that it is most valuable.
Shang Ruyi took out the key and opened the box. It was packed with thick banknotes as soon as the lid was opened.
Shang Ruyi counted a few pictures, thought about it, and counted a few more.
Tusher's eyes turned red as he watched. In fact, at the beginning of her marriage, Shang Ruyi was still in charge of her own money, but after she was accidentally kidnapped by Wuxue during the Luoyang Rebellion, Tu Sheer protected these things to Chang'an. When Shang Ruyi came back, he took inventory and found that there was not even one Without touching any corners, he let her take charge of his keys and belongings. Now seeing the money flowing out like running water, she smacked her lips in distress and muttered: "Princess, how can there be such a thing..."
Shang Ruyi glanced at her, smiled and said nothing.
But his expression was a little heavier.
Although this girl usually has some unnecessary hostility towards others because she protects her too much, this time, her displeasure is not groundless, let alone unreasonable, because a noble girl like Shang Ruyi is getting married. At that time, the natal family usually Preparing a generous dowry, this property is what she relies on for the rest of her life. In some cases, it is even better than raising a child to protect her from old age. In order to show her family's strength and love for her daughter-in-law, or in other words, for the sake of face and dignity, her husband's family This money will never be touched.
This is her private property, Shang Ruyi.
So in the years since I married into Yuwen's family, except for some used for running schools a few days ago, the money has almost increased. After giving birth to Yuanzi, the emperor's rewards came in an endless stream, and it shouldn't just be the emperor's rewards. As a husband, Yu Wenye should also give his wife some rewards.
But not only did Yu Wenye not give her money, but now he wanted to pick out her purse. This is something only a worthless man would do in a small family.
No wonder Tu Sheer felt so uncomfortable.
But Shang Ruyi still counted the pile of banknotes and said, "It's useful."
Hearing these four words, Tu Sheer could not say more. Of course she also knows that her young lady is not a cute young lady who can be manipulated by others. She has her own calculations and scheming. She is willing to show her family wealth. Firstly, she has a deep relationship with Yu Wenye, and secondly, it is because of Yuwen Ye's character and ability. It deserves her trust. Thirdly, this "use" is important and may even be related to her own life and destiny.
Tu Sheer could only sigh reluctantly.
Shang Ruyi looked back at her, laughed, and said after a while: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."
"..."
"How can I give out the money if there are no conditions at all?"
When Tusheer heard this, he immediately looked at her with wide eyes: "What conditions did the princess put forward?"
Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "You won't understand even if I tell you. You will know when the time comes. Okay, lock it quickly , don’t let anyone see it.”
“Yes!”
After the money was given, Shang Ruyi didn’t ask any more questions, but Yu Wenye was busy, often early in the morning. Then he got up and left the palace, and came back very late under the moonlight. Sometimes he even slept directly in the military camp.
The days passed like this day by day. The weather is getting colder and colder. Although it hasn't started to snow yet, the howling north wind has already made people deeply feel the chill of winter. Shang Ruyi has been waiting for the battle report ahead in the north wind, or in other words, the news of Shen Wuzheng. But never.
This kind of weather made it difficult to march. I don’t know where they went.
Have you arrived at Hulao Pass?
Probably not yet, but there are many passes, large and small, on the road. Have they started a war?
Her mind was full of these questions, but she didn't realize that time passed so fast. It was November in the blink of an eye. She woke up from a complicated dream again, but unexpectedly found that Yu Wenye had stayed in Qianqiu Palace. Shang Ruyi asked him in surprise: "Why don't you go to the military camp today?"
Yu Wenye said: "I was going to go, but just now Eunuch Yu came to deliver the news, saying that our father sent us a message today. Go have a meal.”
“We?”
“And the prince and the princess.”
Shang Ruyi immediately became alert when he heard about these two people. When she got up, she hurriedly got out of bed. After getting dressed, she asked Tusheer to help her wash up. When everything was sorted, she came back to her senses: "Oh, it's been a month."
A whole month has passed since the prince's wedding.
Although it could be seen that Yu Wenyuan still had reservations about Yu Mingyue's attitude, the prince's marriage was a worry for him, so he secretly gave the prince a month's leave to let the newlyweds The couple had a good rest. Although Shang Ruyi did not inquire deliberately, he also knew that His Highness the Crown Prince often took the Crown Princess around these days, and I heard that he even went to Huashan Mountain.
Although the two sides have long been at odds with each other, the couple's love for each other has little to do with them. Besides, it is rare for both sides to be in peace with each other.
But Shang Ruyi was still a little uneasy.
They were too calm, or in other words, they were too peaceful with each other.
One of the two princes died and the other was injured. Yu Wenwen completely gave up his spiritual practice and married Yu Mingyue. Shang Ruyi always thought that after the marriage, he would definitely "take action" on Yu Wenye. Even if he didn't do it openly, some tit-for-tat confrontations in the court were expected. .
But apart from getting Shen Wuzheng into the Eastern Expedition team, they did nothing else.
Today I suddenly heard that Yu Wenyuan wanted them to have a meal together, and there were also the prince and the princess. The uneasiness immediately came to his mind again. Shang Ruyi asked nervously: "Father, the emperor wants to What did you say? ”
Yuwen Ye smiled faintly and said: "There has been no news from the east recently, and there are no major events in the court. My father probably won't say anything. He just wants the family to sit together and have a meal after the royal brother's wedding."
“Oh.”
Shang Ruyi nodded, but Yu Wenye's expression changed and he continued: "However, that may not be the case for the prince and the princess."
Shang Ruyi looked at him hurriedly.
Yu Wenye said: "It's been too quiet recently. I always feel something is wrong. If they want to do anything or where to go, you just follow my words."
Shang Ruyi nodded: "Okay."
