"Sister-in-law, you can't talk nonsense, our Shixuan and the eldest lady of the Shui family don't have a marriage agreement." No matter how good Guan's temper is, he can't tolerate others constantly saying that his son is not, no matter how bad it is, it is also her son, which father and mother are willing to listen, so Guan interrupted her words and directly treated this matter as nothing, "This Ruoqian is a girl's family after all, and it will be affected if it is passed on, sister-in-law, neither I nor his father mean this." ”

Yan didn't expect that the second room didn't want to be in-laws with the Shui family, and looked at Guan's voice even more sharply, "Brother and sister, I said what do you and the second brother think, such a good marriage doesn't mean that, I also made it clear to you, if it wasn't for Mrs. Shui's coming to me to mention it, I wouldn't be too lazy to come to you to say, the Shui family has such good conditions, I think you are high, I didn't expect you to look down on it." ”

"Then we can't afford to climb high!" Guan Shi also lost his temper, and said in a cold voice, Yan Shi glanced at Shen Shixuan on the side, and snorted coldly, "This kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, and I also mentioned that Shixuan is worried about this marriage, I didn't expect you to look down on this Shui family, I want to see whose girl you will fall in love with." With that, he got up and went out.

Obviously and secretly were rejected, Yan couldn't pull down his face and went back angrily, and returned to his yard, which was still burning hot, she took a sip of tea and calmed down, she vented to the maid next to her, "I really think I am something, I give birth to such a useless son and still protect it there, I don't want such a good family thing, stupid woman." ”

"Madam, don't you think that the second young master is not worthy of the eldest lady of the Shui family, now that they know each other, if Miss Shui really marries the second young master, won't they be like a tiger with wings?" Cui Xi on the side hurriedly touched her back and said flatteringly.

"What do you know, marrying them is like a tiger with wings, and marrying someone else is also like a tiger with wings, so it's better to stay in the Shen family than to cheapen others." Yan felt that Shen Shixuan was bad, for the Shen family, the benefits of marrying with the Shui family were still very great, but Shen Shixuan was the only one who was suitable, so she was angry, she couldn't wait for her to have one more son.

"Or Madame is thoughtful." Cui Xi praised when she heard this, but Yan didn't give up this idea, thought for a while and said, "Bring a pen and paper, and I will also write to Mrs. Shui." ”…

Two days later, Shui Ruoqian made an appointment with Shen Shixuan to meet, the eldest lady of the Shui family is also a great beauty, and the year of the water is when the flowers bloom well, and when she got off the carriage, she attracted the attention of many people, and entered the tea house, walked through the corridor of green vines, and arrived at the agreed house, Shen Shixuan was already there.

Shui Ruoqian walked in, the maid stayed outside and closed the door for them, and sat down opposite Shen Shixuan, and there was a faint sound of the guqin in her ears.

Shen Shixuan poured her a cup of tea, Shui Ruoqian took it, and did not speak, Shen Shixuan did not mean to speak first, the two of them just sat and drank tea, until the sound of the piano was finished, Shui Ruoqian put down the cup, gently touched the smooth wall of the cup with five fingers, lowered her head slightly and said calmly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, it seems that I often run outside." ”

"Nothing to do." Shen Shixuan glanced at the tumbling water, "Miss Shui is so interested." ”

"The Shen Shixuan I know won't run out when he has nothing to do." Shui Ruoqian picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of hot water into the pot on the side.

"What did you do with me?" Shen Shixuan stared at the water for a while, frowned slightly, and seemed to be impatient with such two people to continue to play dumb riddles, so he simply asked directly.

"My mother is worried about my marriage, I went to the Shen family a few days ago to mention our marriage, and two days ago the eldest lady of the Shen family sent a letter to my mother, saying that the second lady rejected the marriage, I think you don't know about this matter yet." Shui Ruoqian picked up the cup, took a sip gently, and raised her eyes to look at him, as if there were waves in her eyes.

"I know." Shen Shixuan didn't have any surprise on his face, he raised the cup in his hand towards her and smiled, "What my mother means, that's what I mean." ”

Shui Ruoqian was stunned for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared on her face, "I didn't mean that my aunt's is not, I think my aunt didn't know what you thought before she said that." ”

"My mother knows my thoughts very well, and I made my mother refuse this marriage." Shen Shixuan then said heavily, the smile on Shui Ruoqian's face finally couldn't hold back, the cup in her hand trembled slightly, Shui Ruoqian lightly opened her lips, "You, don't want to marry me?" ”

"You and I have no marriage in the first place, it doesn't matter if they misunderstand, but if it affects your reputation and marriage, it won't be good." Shen Shixuan's words were completely beyond Shui Ruoqian's expectations.

He shouldn't have known about it, if he knew, he shouldn't have reacted like this, how could this be his idea he meant, he didn't want to marry her?

Shui Ruoqian wanted to ask a lot of questions, but in the end she couldn't get over the answer in her heart, she felt impossible, so she tried every possible way to find a reason for his words, so she raised her head and looked at him, trying to understand his words, "Don't you want to get married yet." ”

"Do you want to talk about these things again after achieving something, do you want to be able to do something in the Shen family business house like your eldest brother, and want Old Man Shen to affirm you?"

"It's not." Shen Shixuan looked at her, looking at the gradually miserable look on her face, without much sympathy, "These have nothing to do with it, my mother misunderstood, I will make it clear to her, or don't delay Miss Shui's future." ”

"Shen Shixuan, what do you mean by this!" For a long time, Shui Ruoqian looked at him with a pale face in disbelief, she would think that it was completely when he was a child when he said that he liked himself in front of the adults and wanted to be with him, over the years, the relationship between the two people was also good, compared to those couples who only met on the day of marriage, they should be much luckier, but now he said that he didn't want to marry himself.

"Let Miss Shui misunderstand that it was Shen, no." Shen Shixuan apologized lightly.

"You're too much!" When Shui Ruoqian saw him say this, she was embarrassed and indignant, didn't this mean that everything was her own affection, when she was a child, she didn't count the words, she thought too much over the years, the Shui family thought too much, people didn't mean that at all, she still wanted to marry him.

Shui Ruoqian got up and opened the door and ran out, the maid behind hurriedly followed, Shen Shixuan in the room took the teacup and drank the cup slowly, looking calm...

This matter quickly reached the ears of the old man Shen, and the two families were happy to see this happen, but now their grandson is unwilling, and the grandfather is a little curious about the reason, and it happened to discuss things with the second master of the Shen family, and the old man Shen talked about it, "When I was young, I told me that I wanted to be with that girl, and I said no in a blink of an eye." ”

"I don't know what that kid thinks." Second Master Shen was also a little embarrassed, especially in the face of Old Master Shen's question, he didn't care much about his son over the years, and in this matter, Second Master Shen was actually the last to know.

"I think Shixuan is an assertive person." Uncle Shen smiled hehehe, "Maybe there is a girl you like." ”

"Then let him marry home quickly, all day long Shenlong sees the head and the end, let him go to the business house more than he wants to go, and learn what carving, is it difficult to want to do carpentry." Old Man Shen's tone of voice was a bit like blowing his beard and staring, and Second Master Shen nodded hurriedly, for fear that he would get angry again.

"Okay, you guys go back, put Sangtiana's land aside for the time being, and see what others do." Old Man Shen waved them two out, and then an old housekeeper who had been with him for many years walked in, Old Man Shen leaned on the recliner and touched his beard, with a smile on his face, and scolded, "That stinky boy!" ”

"In the Zhuangzi where the second young master often goes, there is a master who is teaching people to do carving, and the master doesn't seem to have been invited from Jinling." The old housekeeper told Old Man Shen what he had found.

"Where did the carving go?" Old Man Shen was slightly interested and looked up at him.

"Nantang Bazaar recently opened a new shop, the left is called Xingmu, the right is called the boudoir, a shop with two doors in and out, there are a lot of such carvings in it, the things carved by the Zhuangzi should be transported to the shop to sell."

"The shop belongs to Shixuan?"

"The shop is not the second young master's, it is the eldest lady of the Chu family." The housekeeper then said, Old Man Shen was stunned, "Chu family? Which Chu family. ”

Old man Shen didn't know much about the trouble outside, and he didn't have that much spare time, so he was so surprised after listening to what the old housekeeper said, the last time he heard about the eldest lady of the Chu family was in Dingyue Building, more than a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and the second boy of his own family has also been involved with the girl, and when he heard that this is a shop opened with the girl, or in the name of the girl.

"You said that the girl kicked her brother out, went out of the house, and went to the business house by herself?" The more Old Man Shen listened, the more interesting he became, especially when he heard about Chu Yiyao going to ask for arrears, he finally laughed, "Okay, okay, that girl, Lao Jiang, you want to say that the second boy is not interesting at all, I don't believe it!" ”

A smile also appeared on the old housekeeper's face, and Master Shen smiled angrily, and then scolded, "The stinky boy still wants to hide it from me, you go and check it out for me, what else is that kid doing in secret." ”…

For the Shui family, if you want a few children to marry well, in fact, there are not many choices, and at this age, except for Shen Shixuan, it is the third young master of the Cao family, Cao Jinrong's reputation is already stinky, and no one will send the girl's family to abuse it, so Shen Shixuan's refusal is embarrassing to the Shui family to a certain extent.

Although there are no big rumors outside, when a few ladies get together in private, there will always be some revelations between words, Shui Ruoqian did not go out of the door, and locked herself in the house for more than a month, until Mrs. Shui really couldn't see it, and took her out to relax, which was already in September.

And for Chu Yiyao, these have nothing to do with her, she has not been idle since the second brother left, as the boudoir business has become regular, Qiuhang is about to start again, and some merchant orders that have not been taken before have been sent to the door in the past few days.
