This year in Ming Qi was considered to be happy but it was also not that happy.
The happy thing was that when the family gathered together, it was always a happy thing. The unhappy thing was that once the year was over, Shen Miao would have to marry to the Great Liang. As the days neared, everyone in the Shen mansion were very busy every day. Shen Miao's dowry, the guards and servants, dowry maids and the roads that the Great Liang's carriages and horses would have to travel, all had to be prepared.
Even though the dowry that Shen Xin prepared for Shen Miao could not be compared to the betrothal gifts that Xie Jing Xing gave, it was still very substantial. Shops and fields were not given as there was no use in the Great Liang. Due to the weariness of the carriages, there was not much furniture that could be brought. Other than some rare jewellery, basically everything was converted into shining silver. In a foreign country, other things might be dispensable, but silver was indispensable, and it was much more convenient to have cash on hand.
Originally the money that Shen Xin and wife prepared for Shen Miao was enough but Shen Qiu secretly pulled Shen Miao to one side and took out a thick stack of banknotes from his sleeves and said, "This is the banknotes from the money house and can be used in the Great Liang." He then blushed, "Eldest Brother does not have any extra things and only have these banknotes for you. Younger Sister must not complain that it is too little."
Shen Miao looked at the crumpled banknotes that Shen Qiu pinched and a warm current flowed through her heart. Shen Qiu was after all a young male and those soldiers from the Ministry of War worked hard for him daily, so naturally Shen Qiu would occasionally return the favor and treat them to a meal or something. Shen Qiu's salary was not much and most of it was the rewards from his military exploits. He did not keep it for his future marriage but gave it to her. Shen Miao's heart was touched and said, "Eldest Brother, the banknotes that Father and Mother gave me can allow me to not worry about food and clothing for a lifetime. Why do you give me these for?"
"Father and Mother are Father and Mother and Older Brother are Older Brother. How can what I give you be the same as what Father and Mother gave you? "Shen Qiu was anxious and stuffed the banknotes into Shen Miao's hands before leaving without looking back. Shen Miao looked at his back view and did not know whether to laugh or cry. She thought that she had to find a chance to let Mo Qing secretly return it to Shen Qiu.
Just as she was thinking, she saw Shen Xin walking in from outside, "Jiao Jiao, Father has something to tell you. Come, let us go to the study."
When Luo Xue Yan heard this, she was about to follow him in. She said, "Just as well, Mother has something to tell you."
"It is not late for Furen to explain later." Shen Xin said, "Let me and Father Jiao Jiao have a few words alone."
Luo Xue Yan snorted disdainfully, but did not follow them in. She thought that Shen Xin wanted to secretly give Shen Miao money or other things, so she did not think much about it.
Shen Miao followed Shen Xin into the study. Shen Xin let the servants guard the door outside and let Shen Miao sit at the table in the room and gave Shen Miao pastries and tea to eat. He then sat down opposite Shen Miao and sighed deeply, "After a few more days, Jiao Jiao you will be getting married. I intend to let Mo Qing follow you to Great Liang. " Pausing for a moment, Shen Xin then said, "Even though Prince Rui is Emperor Yong Le's younger brother and has quite a status in the Great Liang, but there are always many disputes in the Imperial family and some matters may not be as simple as it looks on the surface. When you reach there, you must not wronged yourself. If someone bullies you, just tell Prince Rui that you are the one that Prince Rui married with a thousand gold and silver, so he will always protect you. You must not shoulder it yourself and leave it to him to handle. "
Shen Miao complied.
"If Prince Rui is unable to protect you, do not be afraid as there is still Father and Mother. I have picked a few people from the Shen family's army. Even though their skills are not comparable to Mo Qing's, they are not ordinary people. They will be dressed as the dowry guards of the Shen residence for you to bring over. At least do not let yourself suffer a loss. "
Shen Xin patiently enticed and Shen Miao finally could not help but open her mouth to ask, "Father, you and Mother … Have never thought of leaving Ming Qi?"
