Chapter 241: The Merchant's Daughter Wants to Marry the General 38
This was a shocking sight; almost all the deeds to the Shen family's shops in the capital were placed in the box, along with a list of her dowry.
Because she and her fifth brother Shen Helin had caused enough trouble in the Shen family, the two siblings were almost kicked out of the house. Lin, who divorced on the surface, only took away her original dowry and two children.
But the eldest brother still secretly gave her the dowry that the family had already prepared for her. This should also be Shen Hongshan's intention, otherwise he alone could not decide whether to keep such a large amount of money.
Seeing the items on the dowry list, Shen Guli's eyes suddenly brightened up. She quickly called Cherry and Grape and asked where the items on the dowry list were. Why didn't she see them?
Yingtao went out for a while and brought back a nanny, who was Nanny Jiang who had always served Lin.
The nanny said that the items on the dowry list that were easy to carry were put into the mistress's dowry, while the large items were placed in a house outside Yonghe Prefecture.
Unexpectedly, her father and brother had always been planning for her, and it was worth her trying hard for them.
It was precisely because of their sincere dedication that she was able to find good things to give to her protector Lee Hyun-ji without any effort.
"Did you find the thing?"
"Found it, found it. Brother Wei Wu is back!"
Shen Guli actually saw the gold silk soft armor in her dowry list. It is invulnerable to swords and spears, which is perfect for Li Xuanzhi.
Upon learning that the gold-thread soft armor was part of the dowry that Lin brought back to the farm, she immediately sent someone to the farm to ask Lin for it.
Whoever runs the fastest is of course the prince’s personal guard.
Before, Lee Hyun-ji assigned four personal guards to escort her all the way back to Yonghe, but on the way back, they ignored Shen Guli's life or death and almost exhausted his future princess to death. Lee Hyun-ji let those ignorant guys take the punishment themselves.
The one who rushed back to report the news was less seriously injured and followed Li Xuanzhi northward. The one who was more seriously injured was left at the farm to continue protecting Miss Shen while recovering from his injuries.
In addition, Li Xuanzhi replaced another personal guard for Shen Guli, who was Wei Wu who went to get the gold-thread soft armor.
Shen Guli took the heavy golden soft armor, looked up and asked Wei Wu: "Is this really invulnerable to swords and guns?"
Wei Wu thought for a moment and answered seriously, "It can resist ordinary swords, spears, swords and halberds, but it also depends on the opponent's skills and his weapons."
Shen Guli understood and thought about the possibility of installing a heart guard in front and behind the heart of the gold silk soft armor.
"Wei Wu, quickly send the gold-thread soft armor to your prince and make sure he wears it." It's better to have something than nothing.
Wei Wu hesitated a little, "The prince left me behind to protect Miss Shen. I cannot leave the capital without permission."
Shen Guli glared and said, "Your Majesty told you to obey my orders, right? I want you to deliver the golden soft armor to the border. Think about it, this is for your prince. Swords and knives are blind on the battlefield. What if he needs this thing to survive?"
Wei Wu:------
If he didn't know that Miss Shen was his future mistress, he would have sewed this woman's mouth shut.
How dare you curse the prince?
Wei Wu finally rode at full speed to the border to show his care from a thousand miles away.
After Shen Guli recovered, she returned to the capital. She didn't know what Li Xuanzhi did before he left. No matter what she did in the capital, everything went smoothly, and no one dared to cause trouble.
Commander Zhu almost became her exclusive store inspection team, patrolling the street near her newly opened restaurant several times a day.
Shen Guli took over the Shen family's shop in the capital little by little. The colored glass from the farm in the suburbs was only made of the best of the best, and any that had the slightest flaw was smashed and disposed of.
Through Li Xuanzhi's channels, the few glass products flowed into the circle of nobles in Beijing at high prices. The best of the best were sold at sky-high prices at auctions.
In just one month, she earned more money than she had earned in half a year.
Shen Guli used all the money he earned from selling colored glaze to buy food and donated it to the border areas where war had already broken out.
For this reason, Yang Guifei specially met with Shen Guli, paving the way for Shen Guli's future identity as the Seventh Princess.
The emperor also gave her two pieces of exquisite jade. When Shen Guli was about to leave the palace, the queen also sent her a set of headgear.
Since then, Shen Guli has made a name for herself in front of several bigwigs in the palace.
The Shen family also changed from being bullied by the brainless Xuan Yi Niang to a situation of standing up against each other. Shen Gonglin no longer blindly treated his sister as a spoiled child, and contacted Shen Guli more frequently.
Shen Gonglin told Shen Guli that although she and her fifth brother were kicked out of the Shen Mansion, their father had been dragging his feet and had not invited the elders of the clan to open the ancestral hall to remove them.
Half a year later, the war on the border became increasingly intense. The Western Barbarians changed their usual sneak attacks and harassment and actually launched a large-scale invasion of our dynasty after the beginning of spring.
Something is wrong.
Shen Guli knew very well that the Western Barbarians and the Northern Rong had secretly reached a cooperation, hoping to seize the Beiguan City by making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, so that they could rush in and burn, kill and loot.
In the previous life, Lee Hyun-ji died unexpectedly in the first melee. Then there was a four-year long three-way tug-of-war.
After a long and exhausting battle, none of the three parties gained anything except the death of countless soldiers. After being severely injured, no one could fight again in a short period of time.
This time, Shen Guli wanted to end the meaningless war early, as it would only waste time and money, and there was really nothing else to do.
Shen Guli took out the drawings that were finalized after repeated revisions and called Wei Wu.
"This will play a decisive role in helping the prince conquer the Western Barbarians as soon as possible. Send it to the border and into the hands of the prince as soon as possible."
Shen Guli held the envelope in her hand for a long time but Wei Wu didn't take it over. "Wei Wu?"
Wei Wu, dressed in black, was in an awkward position. "Miss Shen, if it's a letter, I can ask someone to deliver it for you. We have a special channel to send letters to the prince." There was no need for him to make the trip in person.
It’s not that Wei Wu was unwilling to work, it’s mainly because he had already learned his lesson once.
A few months ago, Wei Wu followed Miss Shen's instructions to deliver the gold silk soft armor to the prince at the border. The prince was very touched by Miss Shen's concern. He held the box of soft armor and couldn't suppress a smile. But when he raised his eyes, a sharp glare was slashed at him.
Wei Wu was the person specially assigned by the prince to protect Shen Guli closely, but he deserted his post and was finally awarded ten military sticks.
The prince was even considerate of him and asked him to return to the capital and wait until Wei Er, who was also punished to recuperate in the capital because of Miss Shen, had recovered from his injuries and was able to take over his duty before returning to the palace to receive punishment.
Although Wei Wu was not afraid of pain, he was afraid of the prince's scrutinizing and disdainful look.
