Chapter 250 Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage
"Well, I really haven't thought about it." Uncle Liu frowned and replied.
"This..." Sheng Zhiyao felt a little worried. She originally thought Uncle Liu had agreed.
Feng Yuanchen saw that Uncle Liu seemed a little embarrassed, so he said to Sheng Zhiyao: "Zhiyao, since Uncle Liu hasn't thought about it well, why don't we go back first and wait until Uncle Liu thinks about it before we come to visit."
"That's fine, Uncle Liu. Let's take our leave now. You can let us know when you think about it another day." Sheng Zhiyao bowed her hands to Uncle Liu.
"Then take these first!" Uncle Liu pushed the stack of drawings in front of Sheng Zhiyao, but there was a bit of reluctance in his eyes.
When Sheng Zhiyao saw Uncle Liu like this, he said, "Uncle Liu, you can keep these drawings. I have many more. Just don't tell anyone about them. After all, I have put in all the effort."
"You still have it?" Uncle Liu asked in surprise, his eyes bright.
"Yes." Sheng Zhiyao nodded, "Of course! I draw pictures in the courtyard when I have nothing to do. There are many clothes, and there are also house drawings. How about I redesign the house for you?"
"No need. Although my room is small, it is clean and comfortable. I won't change it until I change it."
Uncle Liu quickly refused, his eyes full of smiles.
Sheng Lixin, this granddaughter, is indeed extraordinary.
When Sheng Zhiyao saw Uncle Liu saying this, he didn't force himself: "Okay! Uncle Liu, let's leave first. You can think about it slowly."
Sheng Zhiyao and Feng Yuanchen walked out of the Liu Mansion. Sheng Zhiyao looked at Feng Yuanchen's face with a hint of disappointment and couldn't help but said, "What's the matter? You're a little disappointed?"
"How could it be? It's just that Uncle Liu surprised me so much." Feng Yuanchen shook his head.
Sheng Zhiyao was slightly startled when he heard this and said in confusion: "Accident? What do you mean?"
"Uncle Liu actually refused." Feng Yuanchen sighed, "I thought he would be tempted by those drawings, but I didn't expect...ah!"
"Actually, he is already tempted!" Sheng Zhiyao interrupted Feng Yuanchen and said to him, "It's just that he still has some concerns, so he needs time to think it over."
"I hope that's the case!" Feng Yuanchen sighed.
"Don't think so much. I would be surprised if such a skilled craftsman agreed immediately. Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang to visit the thatched cottage. This is our first time. Take your time."
Feng Yuanchen looked at Sheng Zhiyao, his eyes full of tenderness, and gently held her hand: "Okay, but who are Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang?"
Sheng Zhiyao was startled and didn't know how to explain it.
"Don't you want to explain?" Feng Yuanchen raised his eyebrows.
"No...it's just that I think it's better to explain this to you later. You'll know it soon anyway, so there's no point in saying it now!" Sheng Zhiyao thought for a long time and finally found a reason.
Prevaricate.
Feng Yuanchen nodded when he heard this and did not pursue it further. Anyway, they still had time to talk slowly. One day, he would know.
"Let's go back!" Sheng Zhiyao took Feng Yuanchen's arm and walked out of the house.
"good."
Sheng Zhiyao returned to the Marquis Mansion. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Sheng Zhengye and Sheng Hanmo waiting for her in the hall. Sheng Zhiyao was stunned.
"Father, big brother."
"Sister! You are back, we have been waiting for you for a long time!" Sheng Hanmo stood up and faced Sheng Zhiyao.
Seeing Sheng Hanmo's enthusiasm, Sheng Zhiyao was a little flattered and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Where have you been today? Why did you come back so late?" Sheng Zhengye sat on the main seat and asked seriously.
"I went to see a craftsman today." Sheng Zhiyao replied in a low voice, and then briefly told what happened at Uncle Liu's house.
"It's him!" After hearing Sheng Zhiyao's description, Sheng Zhengye's expression changed, "Uncle Liu is a good craftsman, but he is very stubborn."
"Father knows him?" Sheng Zhiyao asked in surprise after hearing this.
"I know him. This man is very stubborn. I have asked him to make a set of jewelry for your mother before." Sheng Zhengye sighed.
Take a breath.
"Then what? Uncle Liu didn't agree?"
"Of course, I didn't agree." Sheng Zhengye shook his head and continued, "Your mother had been envious of the hairpin on the second prince's concubine's head for a long time. It's a pity."
Hearing that her mother was also envious of the hairpin on the second princess's head, Sheng Zhiyao suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart: "Father, I heard that Liu Bolian even rejected Concubine Qi back then, so how come there is such a hairpin in the second prince's head?"
In the hands of the princess?"
"This..." Hearing Sheng Zhiyao mention Concubine Qi, Sheng Zhengye smiled awkwardly.
"Father, does Uncle Liu have any special status? Otherwise, why would he reject a concubine like Concubine Qi?" Sheng Zhiyao asked.
"Who did you hear? Uncle Liu was not of noble birth, but a commoner. It was just because of his craftsmanship that he was appreciated by the emperor." Sheng Zhengye replied.
"Then..." Sheng Zhiyao was a little confused again.
"Okay, don't worry about it. Let's discuss your engagement with Yuan Chen!" Sheng Zhengye interrupted Sheng Zhiyao.
"Well, haven't we already agreed on this? Haven't those gift notes been delivered as well? Do I need to do anything else?" Sheng Zhiyao asked doubtfully.
"Silly girl!" Sheng Zhengye glared at Sheng Zhiyao angrily, and then said, "Although you are married by the Emperor, you still need to exchange gifts. After the small gifts, you still need to return the gifts.
"
"Return gift?" Sheng Zhiyao was stunned.
"Yes, you are also a princess now, so you must give me a decent dowry, right?"
"Oh, so that's it." Sheng Zhiyao suddenly realized.
"Okay, just prepare your embroidery at home during these days."
"Ah? Embroidery? Father, I can't do it. I can sew wounds." Sheng Zhiyao said with some embarrassment.
"Father, I've said it before, my sister doesn't know how to do these boudoir affairs, why do you have to force her to learn." Sheng Hanmo glanced at Sheng Zhiyao and said.
"What do you know! Do you think your sister is a fool? What do you know about women's affairs?" Sheng Zhengye rolled his eyes at Sheng Hanmo, "Okay, I will find an embroiderer to come back and teach you in the next few days."
"Does father really need these? I can earn the dowry myself, how about I exchange it for something else?" Sheng Zhiyao said impatiently.
"Nonsense! Why are you kid talking like that!" Sheng Zhengye glared at Sheng Zhiyao.
Sheng Hanmo curled his lips and did not dare to say anything more, but his eyes couldn't help but glance towards Sheng Hanmo, as if asking him for help.
"Father, although these embroideries are indeed necessary for women to get married, I think the dowry given by my sister must also be unique."
When Sheng Zhengye saw Sheng Hanmo's appearance, he immediately understood what he meant. He didn't say anything more and just snorted coldly: "Since you don't want to learn, then forget it, but if the people in the capital know about this,
