Chapter 418 These are all life-saving talismans
After hearing this, Sheng Zhen gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and tried hard to suppress his urge to hit someone. He said to himself, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Today is your day! Don't let others laugh at you."
Qingfeng felt that it was very abnormal to see his master like this, so he walked away a little to avoid being implicated.
Zheng Sisi greeted everyone in the flower hall and told Old Madam Zheng and Nanny Li that she was going back to the backyard as it was not proper for her to be there.
She instructed Li Ma to reward the people who came to deliver the betrothal gifts, and the servants in the mansion should not be left out either, and she gave each of them ten taels of silver as a reward. Then she handed all matters over to Madam Zheng, the head of the family.
Old Madam Zheng nodded with satisfaction, thinking that her granddaughter had finally grown up and even knew how to be shy.
Li Ma Ma had a different idea. The princess was just being a hands-off boss and going back to the backyard to be lazy. It was Li Ma Ma who had developed a pair of sharp eyes in the palace. She had lived with Zheng Sisi for so long and knew her temper thoroughly. She even knew that Zheng Sisi was lazy when she went back home.
Ignoring the noise in the front yard, Zheng Sisi walked towards her own yard in a happy mood, holding a roll of imperial edict in each hand. She walked happily, occasionally raising her hand to look at the imperial edict and laughing like a "cluck, cluck" sound of a chicken.
Rose and Lily, who were following from a distance, saw that the princess was shaking all over as if she was possessed by a ghost. The two looked at each other and continued to follow her not far away.
After returning to the yard, Zheng Sisi went straight into the room, sat at the table, spread out the two imperial edicts and examined them carefully. After admiring them for a while, she flipped her hand and took out the imperial edict that had previously conferred the title of county lady.
He pointed his fingers at several scrolls of imperial edicts and muttered, "Haha! County Princess! Seventh rank, Princess of the County! I don't know what rank she is, I'll ask later, haha! And this one, it won't be long before she becomes the Third Prince's Consort. The Third Prince's Consort should be of a super rank, right?
These are all good things, they are life-saving talismans! From now on, I will no longer be afraid of losing my life at any time, hehe!"
Thinking back to when she hadn't traveled through time, the original owner had been manipulated by others just to survive, and was killed a few hours after marrying into the Marquis's Mansion, which gave her this opportunity to travel through time. A cousin in the Marquis's Mansion had the power to call for her to be beaten and killed, all because the original owner had no strength and no one to support her.
Now that I have the strength and the biggest backer behind me, let's see what they can do to me. From now on, they should shrink their necks and hide from me like quails, hehe! It feels so good.
I won’t be able to act tyrannically in the future, but at least others won’t dare to mess with me.
Zheng Sisi admired it for a while and thought about a lot of wild things. After making sure that she would not lose her life easily, she breathed a sigh of relief and stretched.
He also took out the "Zheng Mansion" plaque that was replaced last time when the county lady's mansion was replaced. This is also a good thing. It is the emperor's calligraphy and can be worth a lot of money. It is also a very good collection. Maybe it will be a good tool for educating children in the future.
She suddenly remembered the plaque of the County Lord's Mansion that she had just taken down, opened the door and shouted to the yard: "Rose, Lily, go and take back the plaque of the County Lord's Mansion for me, and don't damage it."
Rose and Lily were next door. They came out when they heard the noise and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the princess had returned to normal.
Hearing that the county lord wanted a plaque, the two of them hurried to the front yard.
The front yard was still bustling with activity. Sheng Zhen had sent eighty-eight loads of betrothal gifts, which filled the yard, leaving only a path in the middle for people to pass through.
Nanny Liu was leading the registration and sorting, Madam Zheng and Nanny Li were entertaining the guests, and Butler Chen was rewarding the people who brought the betrothal gifts.
Those who carried the betrothal gifts were all from the Third Prince's Mansion. They were shocked to see the reward silver in their hands. The Third Prince's wife was too generous. The reward silver was equivalent to two months' salary for herself.
The people who carried the betrothal gifts were rewarded with ten taels of silver each, and the matchmakers and officials were given a red envelope of one hundred taels of silver each.
The reward money from the Princess's Mansion is also eye-opening. It is several times more than that of other families. Some families are stingy and only give a few dozen cents.
The matchmaker was holding the red envelope with her eyes almost dying of laughter. This was a local rich man. The reward for carrying the betrothal gift was ten taels, so she would have at least fifty taels, which was five times what others had. And this was just the betrothal gift. She would have to get more after the marriage.
The tuition for my fifth grandson's schooling is enough. The competition in the matchmaker business is also very fierce. I must do a good job in this business today, satisfy the host family, and spread my reputation.
The matchmaker was so happy that she poured out baskets of nice words, as if they were free, and she never repeated them. She was so eloquent that she even made Madam Zheng grin.
