Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Chapter 23 Shen Chenxiang's Test

Mrs. Shen's expression softened when she saw that she did not seem shy.

"Mother has always felt that you and Ziyuan are a good match. The child has a good family background, is good-looking, and has a good character. You have known each other since childhood and know each other well. The princess has a good temper and is generous. As for you, you are too honest and dutiful. Having a good mother-in-law can help you suffer less. But yesterday, the Marquis said that the Prince's Mansion is already very powerful. Our Marquis' Mansion is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue, and is also extremely favored by the emperor. If we marry into the Prince's Mansion again, His Majesty may be suspicious, so we will not consider this marriage. Mother has always been worried about what to do if you like that child very much? Do you have to sacrifice my daughter's happiness for the Shen family? Now that you don't like Ziyuan, mother is relieved."

Shen Caizi and Shen Chenxiang looked at Shen Shenshen together.

As a woman of the new era, Shen Shenshen has always believed that women should have their own, whether it is money or career. She clearly knew in her previous life that marriage is an exchange of interests and cooperation.

If my husband and I in this life are sensible, we can work together and make money together. If there are too many problems with my husband's family? I'll just divorce him. With the background and power of my family, divorce is a matter of minutes. So I'm not worried about getting married. I'd be worried if I have no money, no career, and no background. I can only live under the roof of my husband's family, and suffer from the cold and warmth of others. I'm now the top white, rich and beautiful woman in Dongxiang... No, it's Dongxiang white and rich, but I'm not beautiful enough at the moment.

"Mother, don't worry. I will still say what I just said to grandma. My parents will decide everything about my marriage."

"Shen'er has always been well-behaved and sensible." Mrs. Shen smiled and nodded: "My Shen'er has really grown up."

At this time, a maid was heard outside the door reporting: "Madam, the eldest daughter of Prince Zhong's mansion sent a visiting card, and wanted to invite the second daughter to the prince's mansion for a small gathering the day after tomorrow."

Shen Shen's eyes lit up immediately: Here it comes. Before Mrs. Shen could speak, she said, "Zhi Xi's visiting card? Bring it in quickly."

Xiao Zhu is indeed reliable in his work.

Another maid, Lian He, lifted the curtain and took the visiting card.

Shen Shenshen took the invitation and opened it impatiently. Before he could read the contents, Shen Chenxiang at the side reached out and snatched the invitation away: "Sister Zhixi, why did you only send the invitation to you? And you didn't invite me. The snacks in the palace are the most delicious when paired with the fragrant tea given by His Majesty."

Shen Shenshen immediately half stood up and snatched the visiting card back: "Go away, kid, why are you making trouble? Sister Zhixi and I are having a private gathering, why are you, a man, interfering? How can a girl bring a little brat to a gathering? Get out of here."

Shen Chenxiang's handsome face immediately sank: "Second sister, I'm not a little brat."

Shen Shen still had a look on his face like "what do you know, little brat?" and said, "Is this important? This is not important. What's important is that you can't go with me, understand?" After saying that, before waiting for his brother to answer, he turned around and said to Madam Shen, "Mother, I'm going to visit Zhixi at the Prince's Mansion the day after tomorrow. What gift should I give her?"

Mrs. Shen was very conflicted when she saw her second daughter's completely changed personality. On the one hand, she felt that in the past thirty years, the second daughter did not look like the one who had been raised in the mansion for eighteen years. Her words and deeds were completely unfamiliar. But on the other hand, she hoped that her second daughter would continue to be cheerful, lively, and clingy. She should love herself and her siblings, instead of just obeying the fifth daughter and often going against her for her.

It is a great thing that this child has changed now.

Watching the two quarreling, Mrs. Shen couldn't hide her smile: "You should prepare the gift for Miss Zhu yourself. Ziyuan's gift is too expensive, so your mother will prepare the return gift for you."

"Thank you, mother. You are the best mother in the world." Shen Shenshen smiled. In his heart, he had already started to plan to go to the Prince's Mansion the day after tomorrow to have a good talk with Xiao Zhu about the management of Heyinlou.

She was busy thinking about her own things and didn't notice the look her younger brother was giving her.

Shen Chenxiang is seventeen this year. He has been smart since childhood. In terms of appearance alone, he is the only handsome man in the capital who can compete with Zhu Yanxiao. He is currently studying at the Imperial College, and is particularly outstanding in mathematics. In Shen Shenshen's previous life, he would have been a typical handsome science and engineering man. I also want to take the imperial examination next year to test my talent.

Now he looked at his second sister's curved eyebrows and felt that she was both familiar and strange. Ever since his second sister fell and recovered, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

How should I test my second sister? Shen Chenxiang thought about it and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

He pretended to have suddenly remembered something and asked, "Second sister, speaking of gifts, on your birthday in midsummer last year, you received a pair of jade bracelets from mother. They are said to be priceless. I was so envious at the time. Next month in late autumn is my 20-year-old birthday. What birthday gift are you going to give me, second sister?"

Shen Shenshen never expected that her brother was so cunning. In her mind, a 17-year-old was a high school student, busy preparing for the college entrance examination, studying for the top classmates, chasing idols, playing football and basketball, playing mobile games, and living a simple and happy life.

"Hey, Xien, your birthday is next month? Just wait, I will definitely give you a surprise then."

After she finished speaking, her eyebrows suddenly jumped, and she felt like something in her mind was trying to remind her, but her mind was completely focused on the business negotiations with Zhu Yanxiao, and she didn't care at all about the missed beat of her eyebrows.

Shen Chenxiang was silent. He had always been perfunctory in giving gifts to his second sister on her birthday, always listening to his fifth sister's instigation. Every year, the gift was always writing brushes, inkstones, and paper, and it had never changed. A surprise gift? Absolutely impossible.

She may not be the second sister.

Seeing that it was getting late, the three of them simply had breakfast with Mrs. Shen in the main courtyard, said goodbye to their mother, and returned to their own courtyard.

Shen Shenshen woke up early and was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. The main reason was that he hadn't gotten used to the custom of getting up early to greet people in this world.

It’s five o’clock in the morning. I have to get up at five o’clock. The key is that there is not a single day off.

This is even harder than 996. She complains about getting up at a.m. every day.

Although she was very self-disciplined in her previous life, she got up at 6:30 every day, exercised for half an hour, took a shower and put on makeup, and went to work on time at 8 o'clock.

But there was no day when I got up at five in the morning and went to greet my grandmother at five thirty. What kind of broken rules is this? So after returning to the yard, I couldn't wait to replace the windows, put down the curtains, and told Zhenying and Chunmiao: "I won't see anyone. If anyone comes, just say I need to rest due to an old illness. Don't bother me." I fell asleep.

It was already noon when she woke up. Zhenying heard some noise in the room and knew that Shenshen had gotten up, so she opened the curtain and went into the room. While pouring tea for Shenshen, she said, "Miss, are you awake? The eldest lady came once, and she saw that you were resting, so she didn't want to disturb you."
