6. Recruit sons-in-law

Shen Yan's words touched Jiang Hao's heart.

She sighed and lowered her head, her face full of worry, "Although Ningyuan Houfu is not a high-ranking family, it is also the number one family in the capital, Mrs. Hou is the eldest princess, and the women married in the mansion are all nobles with status in the capital, when I marry, how many of these people can get along with?" What's more, I have been in Luling all these years, and I am not familiar with the life in the capital, so I got there...... Alas. ”

Shen Yu could only be relieved, "What are you afraid of, the marriage is at the end of next year, and there are still a long days." My aunt will definitely not rest assured, I am afraid that she will pick a day to take you to the capital. There are cousins Ling in the capital, grandfathers, grandmothers, and cousins from my uncle's family, so it's good to get used to living for a while. ”

Jiang Zhen's sister Jiang Ling married in the capital, which is also the reason why Aunt Jiang is relieved to marry her daughter.

However, Jiang Zhen still pouted, "Of course it's good that my sister is there, but that cousin Xian ...... When I arrived in the capital, I was already burning high incense if I didn't make trouble with her. ”

Shen Yan couldn't help but smile, "In the past, you would often quarrel when you were young, but now that Cousin Xian is married, naturally she won't be that kind of character." Besides, those concubines in the Marquis Mansion of Ningyuan, in addition to the noble status of the county lord, although the others are also the daughters of the Marquis Mansion, but after careful calculation, the power may not be comparable to that of the uncle. When your uncle joins the cabinet in the future, are you still afraid that they won't succeed? ”

"After all, Houmen is honored, presumably those are arrogant people." Jiang Zhen muttered.

Is Houmen honored? That's just the glory passed down from the ancestors, if there is real power, it is naturally difficult to match the power, but if there is no real power in the hand, it is an embroidered pillow and a pavilion in the air.

Like the Yue Guo Mansion the year before last, looking illustrious and honorable, without the emperor's sacred heart, wasn't he still rejected by the favored four-grade official?

In comparison, a second-grade member like Jiang Wenying, who holds real power and is winning the Sacred Heart, may not be much inferior to those Houmen.

Shen Yu couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Jiang Zhen lay on her shoulder in great distress, sighing, "What should I do, Auntie, I really don't want to marry anymore!" Or...... You also want to find a way to go to the capital, let's be a sister! ”

"What kind of stupid thing to say, if I go to the capital, what will I do with the library building at home and the bookstore?" Speaking of this, Shen Yu was also a little distressed.

However, when she was distressed, Jiang Zhen suddenly became a little excited, "By the way, Auntie, Mrs. Qin came to our house as a guest that day, and asked my mother about your marriage in a roundabout way." ”

"Which Mrs. Qin?"

"Who else could there be, the one who commanded the envoys! Isn't Qin Yu quite familiar with you in the academy, do you think Mrs. Qin will inquire about him? ”

Although Jiang Hao didn't know that Qin Yu took care of Shen Yu everywhere, she also knew that Shen Yu had the best relationship in the academy with Qin Yu and Dong Shujin.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The son of Qin Yu's dignified second-class family, my family is just a cloth cloth, do you think it is possible? Shen Yu supported her forehead.

Mrs. Qin's reputation is high and low, Shen Yu has heard a little, if she wants to say goodbye to Qin Yu, she must go to her family identity, so it is impossible to look down on Shen Yu.

If Mrs. Qin was asking for someone behind her, Shen Yan felt that it was more likely.

Jiang Zhen said firmly: "How is it impossible, Gongzi Qin treats you very well, even I have heard of it!" ”

…… Aunt Jiang doesn't care, why is even Jiang Zhen like this now!

Shen Yu was speechless, so she had to say, "Don't forget, cousin, I'm recruiting a son-in-law......"

"yes, you're going to inherit the family business." Jiang Zhen smiled slightly, a little regretful.

Shen Yan smiled and didn't care.

She has been very lucky since she was a child, and after the fetus was worn to the Shen family, she was loved and cared for, and she was very happy.

The only fly in the ointment is the disappearance of my brother eight years ago.

When she was a child, Shen Yu grew up in a honey pot. She is the youngest daughter of the family, with grandfathers, grandmothers, fathers and brothers, the family population is simple, the family is also solid, everyone holds her as a pearl in the palm of their hands, plus the advantage of crossing, she is smart and cute at a young age, and she has developed a squeamish temperament.

Until eight years ago, her father and mother took her brother and sister to celebrate her grandfather's birthday in Beijing, and when she came back, she encountered a rare landslide.

At that time, Shen Yu was only six years old, but she clearly remembered the new white hair on her father's head, and remembered the gloom of the Shen family during that time. However, the family spent a lot of money and mobilized all the old relatives and friends to search for it, but in vain.

Shen Yu was afraid that they would be devastated by this incident, but during that time, she tried her best to persuade and comfort, making everyone sigh that this squeamish girl had grown up a lot.

The Shen family has a good foundation, with a collection of 100,000 books over the years, and the business of engraving books has been passed down for decades. Shen Ping and his wife are very affectionate, there is no concubine room at home, only this pair of children under their knees, the third year after Shen Ming's disappearance, the couple finally sobered up from the pain and decided to hand over the family business to their only daughter.

So since she was eight years old, Shen Yu began to be raised as a boy.

Shen Yu can also be regarded as a blessing in disguise, wearing the clothes of a college student, she can freely enter and leave the academy bookstore and other places, and can also follow Shen Ping around.

In the past few years, she has been messing around everywhere, although everyone knows that she is a daughter, but because of Shen Yan's lively temperament, Shen Ping is open-minded, but it also allows her to make some interesting friends.

Such a leisurely life lasted for several years, until last year after she was targeted by Huo Zongyuan, the gentleman of the uncle's mansion, and made a farce of forcing marriage, Mrs. Shen suddenly became anxious about her marriage.

But Shen Yu is not happy!

After getting married, she becomes a daughter-in-law, even if she is a son-in-law to stay in her own home, there are inevitably some constraints after the change of identity, unlike today's freedom and ease. And she is recruiting a son-in-law instead of marrying, and the marriage is really embarrassing. Although Mrs. Shen mentioned it many times, Shen Yu was stunned and didn't let go, and wanted to work hard to drag it back.

But this little effort, after all, is of little use-

When the two sisters shook their fans to the flower hall, Aunt Xue and Mrs. Shen were no longer there, and they went to the living room under the guidance of the maid, and the four adults were discussing things, and the two got close to each other before they heard their conversation.

The content is very simple, Shen Yu has turned fourteen years old, and it is time to discuss family affairs.

From tomorrow, Mrs. Shen and Aunt Xue will release the news of the Shen family's recruitment of sons-in-law one after another, and if there is a suitable person to come to the door, they will settle the family affairs as soon as possible.

is different from the usual recruitment of sons-in-law, and the Wuchuan territory does not strictly require sons-in-law when recruiting. In order to inherit the family business, the couple lived in the woman's house, and the first child born to both men and women had the woman's surname to inherit the family business.

This kind of precedent for recruiting sons-in-law is not uncommon, everyone is used to it, and the men who recruit sons-in-law will not be criticized.

But after all, it is the man who enters the woman's house, and the woman cannot serve in front of her in-laws, and some parents are not very happy to let their children go to the woman's house to work hard, which is a little embarrassing after all.

Shen Yu didn't expect her father to compromise so quickly, and when she heard the news, she rushed into the hall without holding back, and looked at Shen Ping with wide eyes.

Her eyes were originally black and white, smart and moist, but at this moment, she was vaguely covered with a layer of mist, and she looked at the past with grievances, which made Shen Ping feel very distressed.

Shen Ping didn't care about outsiders being present, and immediately explained with a doting tone: "It's not for my father to break his promise, I'm really afraid that it's not good to delay for a long time." When we release the news, it's not that we are in a hurry to settle down, but when we have a favorite, we must let you pass by, okay? ”

Jiang Wenying and his wife were used to seeing Shen Ping's spoiling of Shen Fei, and they didn't think it was strange, but Mrs. Shen coughed lightly.

Shen Yu bit her lip and lowered her head, her fingers twisting the belt of her clothes.

Shen Ping was the most soft-hearted towards his daughter, and once again backed down, "You said before that you wanted to go to Baihuaao to relax, and tomorrow I will allow you to take a break and let your mother take you there, okay?" ”

And such a good thing?

Shen Yu was overjoyed, but when she raised her head, she still bit her lip and said reluctantly: "Okay, but you must remember what your father promised." ”

"Remember, remember! Otherwise, as you said, you will break your word and get fat. Shen Ping hurriedly agreed.

Next to her, Jiang Zhen looked at Shen Yan's cheap and obedient appearance, and was so jealous that the roots of her teeth itched, and she twisted Shen Yan's waist heavily. You must know that when Jiang Wenying promised her to the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, he didn't ask her what she meant, even if Jiang Zhen objected later, he never comforted her softly.

Jiang Zhen does not envy Shen Fei's outstanding appearance, does not envy Shen Fei's freedom to enter and leave the academy, travel the mountains and rivers, and does not envy Shen Fei for being able to make many friends in the academy, but since she was a child, she has envied Shen Yu for having such a good father who can spoil his daughter to the sky.

If only his father could have one of Uncle Shen's ten......

Jiang Zhen secretly glanced at Jiang Wenying, and when she saw that Yan SΓΉ's face, she suddenly felt that she was thinking too much.

On the way back, the three members of the Shen family took a carriage together, Shen Yu looked at the matter of recruiting a son-in-law, and now thought that tomorrow she could escape the trivial matters in the academy and go to the Baihuaao that she was thinking about, and the smile could not hide the corners of her mouth.

Mrs. Shen looked at her like that, although she was also happy and loved, but her husband spoiled her daughter like this, Mrs. Shen would not sit idly by.

According to so many years of experience, it is useless to beat her husband, so Mrs. Shen can only reprimand Shen Yu with a straight face, "In front of your uncle and aunt today, you are too presumptuous!" ”

Shen Yan bit her lip and didn't speak, hanging her head slightly, as if she regretted it a little and was a little unconvinced.

Mrs. Shen wanted to reprimand the other words that she wanted to reprimand was choked back by her pitiful appearance, and she could only say lightly: "Don't do this again in the future." ”

"Oh." Shen Yu still hung her head.

Shen Ping couldn't see Shen Yu pretending to be pitiful, and immediately smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, brother-in-law, they all know the situation." Besides, I broke my promise first, no wonder Grandma was unhappy. ”

"You ......" Mrs. Shen was almost choked by her.

Shen Ping doted on his daughter, and of course he loved his wife very much, so he threw away the square coat of the master of the academy, picked a small snack and put it to Mrs. Shen's mouth. Shen Yu saw the opportunity quickly, and immediately poured half a cup of tea with both hands, and the father and daughter went into battle together, where could Mrs. Shen resist, so she had to stop fighting.
