The second wife is charming to the bone, and Mr. Shen is very honest
Chapter 5 Preparing the dowry
Two days later, the news that Shen Yanfeng was going to marry Miss Jiang spread throughout the capital.
Naturally, the Shen family was ridiculed by people in the capital. Originally, Shen Yanfeng just wanted to save people, but he ended up being taken advantage of and was blamed by Miss Jiang.
At the same time, the Jiang family became a place that everyone despised.
If Jiang's mother hadn't gone to the emperor to file a complaint, someone like Shen Yanfeng would not have suffered such a loss in silence.
No matter how you look at it, Miss Jiang is making a profit now.
Having been abandoned by the prime minister's son, it was difficult for her to turn her life around. However, because she was unable to get over it, she created an opportunity to rely on Shen Yanfeng.
Shen Yanfeng is a royal relative and the nephew of the Empress. He is in charge of 30,000 imperial guards. The safety of the imperial city is in his hands.
Compared with the prime minister's son, Shen Yanfeng is far superior to Xiao Shian in terms of family background and ability.
More importantly, Shen Yanfeng is a particularly infatuated and loyal man. His deceased wife has been gone for so many years, but he has not remarried, which shows how deep his feelings for his deceased wife are.
In addition, he is one of the most handsome men in the capital. His only shortcoming is that he is somewhat cruel by nature, so he is known as the Jade-faced Jackal.
Such a perfect man was going to marry a woman as immoral as Jiang Sujin. The young girls in Beijing couldn't bear the thought of it.
Yang Xiuyun didn't care about those rumors at all. She now had only one goal, which was to prepare a generous dowry for her daughter.
Jiang Moting held his famous painting and said in a panic, "Madam, please give me two more days. I will definitely be able to borrow the money."
Yang Xiuyun grabbed the painting in his hand, glared at him and said, "I've already given it to you for two days. I've even borrowed it from my parents. What have you done?"
"No, I won't believe you anymore. I have to pawn all these paintings now and use the silver as a dowry for our Susu."
Jiang Moting saw her holding the painting and was afraid that she would damage it if she exerted too much force, so he was so scared that he didn't dare to move.
"Then how about I take the job? At least I know how much this painting is worth."
Yang Xiuyun: "Who knows whether you treated it as a painting or hid it? Anyway, I don't believe you anymore."
Jiang Moting: "Then I'll go now. If I can't bring the silver, you can't let me in. Is that not okay?"
Yang Xiuyun: "Do you think I'm stupid? You want to be happy outside, so you can hide away and don't have to see me, a yellow-faced woman, anymore."
Jiang Moting: "How is that possible? Believe me, I will definitely get the money back."
"I don't believe it!" As she said that, she started to snatch the painting from his hand. Seeing this, Jiang Moting made up his mind and snatched the painting and ran away. How could Yang Xiuyun let him get away so easily? The two of them started chasing each other.
Seeing this, Jiang Sujin couldn't help but frowned: "Okay, if you guys keep making trouble, I won't marry you."
Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately stopped chasing.
Jiang Sujin: "Dad is originally a sixth-rank official, and his annual salary is not much. Everyone knows this, so why do we have to pretend to be rich?"
Hearing this, Yang Xiuyun couldn't help but say, "Mother, don't you want your in-laws to look down on you?"
Jiang Sujin: "Whether they look down on me or not is not all about the dowry. If I marry into their family, they will definitely look down on me."
"Even if I brought them mountains of gold and silver, they wouldn't look at me with high regard."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiuyun couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, and Jiang Moting's expression also became complicated.
Jiang Sujin: "If we pretend to be strong, it will make them think that we are trying to please them on purpose."
"What do the daughters of sixth-rank families usually prepare for their weddings? Just prepare something for me, mother. There's no need to be too fancy, or it will seem too deliberate."
Yang Xiuyun said with red eyes: "Susu, mother is really doing this for your own good. Can you understand my thoughts?"
Jiang Sujin: "Mother, I know it all. It was because I was ignorant in the past that I ended up in this situation today."
"My daughter doesn't blame anyone. This is her fate. She will accept it and will not be afraid of any challenge."
Yang Xiuyun looked at Jiang Sujin with red eyes. She felt that her daughter seemed to have suddenly become a different person.
She always believed that she was right, but her daughter's strength made her feel for a moment that she was a little too eager for quick success.
Jiang Moting: "Susu, don't worry, your mother's family will always be your backer. No matter when, if you suffer any grievances, you can come back, and Dad will always be able to support you."
Jiang Sujin couldn't help but blush when she heard this: "My daughter knows."
Jiang Moting glanced at Jiang Sujin, then suddenly turned around and left with the painting in his arms.
"where are you going?"
“When painting!”
In the afternoon, they really brought in 100,000 taels of silver.
Yang Xiuyun looked at the banknotes in shock; she had not expected those paintings to be so valuable.
Thinking of her husband selling her most beloved painting, she couldn't help feeling guilty.
"Mo Ting, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it for you."
Jiang Moting said expressionlessly: "No, I don't want to eat anything today." After that, he went straight into his study.
Yang Xiuyun looked at Jiang Moting's back and felt even more uncomfortable.
After Jiang Moting returned to his study, he picked up his book and started reading as usual. As he read, he suddenly couldn't help but curled the corners of his mouth.
The Shen family was supposed to propose marriage next, but several days passed and there was no movement from the Shen family.
However, since there is an imperial decree, the Shen family will have to pay the betrothal gift sooner or later.
Jiang Sujin was about to get married, and she needed to go to the tailor shop to measure her measurements and make a few sets of clothes for herself.
She hasn't been out for several days, so it's really time for her to go out for a walk.
However, as soon as she and Caiyue arrived on the street, they saw people around them pointing at her.
Caiyue couldn't help but said, "Miss, let's go back!"
Jiang Sujin: "It doesn't matter. You can hide for a while, but not forever. You will have to go through this sooner or later."
She took Caiyue with her, walked with her back straight, on the busiest street.
When she walked into the tailor shop, the women in the shop were chattering, but when she entered, the shop suddenly became silent.
Jiang Sujin walked straight to the tailor with an expressionless face and said, "Master, take out the latest sample clothes and let me see them."
The tailor took one look at Jiang Sujin and couldn't help but be shocked by her figure. Putting aside other things, Miss Jiang's figure was indeed one of the best in Beijing.
"Miss, wait a moment." He only cares about making money in business, so he is naturally not picky about who he works for.
"Hey~ Isn't this Miss Jiang who was fished out of the river by Lord Shen that day?"
"You don't know, she's going to marry Mr. Shen now."
"Oh, Lord Jiang is so unlucky. He did a good thing, but ended up being blamed by this kind of person."
"Hahaha, who said it wasn't?" The women in the shop couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Seeing this, Jiang Sujin suddenly walked straight towards the two people who were talking.
The two people didn't expect Jiang Sujin to actually come towards them, which made their faces instantly become unnatural.
But when they thought that her father was just a minor official of the sixth rank, they immediately felt confident.
Jiang Sujin: "Were you talking about me just now?"
