Capital.

Cabinet Scholar, Shen Yixian's residence.

In the courtyard, the drizzle was falling, and Shen Canglang stood helplessly under the porch, waiting for his father's reply.

"It's rare for a woman to be able to practice her thin gold body so well!"

Shen Yixian picked up the covers painted by Siyu one by one, and couldn't stop sighing.

"Yes, the child also thinks that she is very good at practicing this calligraphy, and her drawings are also very expressive!"

Shen Canglang was very happy when he heard his father say this, and felt that this matter would probably have an eighty percent chance of winning.

But he didn't expect Shen Yi to change his words first, raised his head and said coldly to him: "I heard that yesterday, Huo Zhanshi's daughter was beaten yesterday?" ”

Shen Canglang was a little flustered when he heard this, and hurriedly stammered: "Dad is like this, Zuo Mingzhu and those people are too unreasonable. ”

Shen Yixian was speechless for a long time when he heard this, and his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water.

Shen Canglang saw that his father didn't speak, and his heart suddenly disappeared.

I wanted to say a few more words about the situation that day, but seeing that the expression on his father's face was very scary, he didn't dare to say more.

The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward.

The sunlight shone through the branches, cut into broken shadows, and sprinkled on his father's face, making his expression gloomy and uncertain, which made his heart more and more bottomless.

He felt that things might not be as simple as he imagined, and even had an ominous premonition, feeling that his father might not agree to his marriage to Siyu.

But my father never cared about being born in the family, so why did he do it this time?

Time passed minute by minute, and no wind blew gently.

Shen Yixian understood that if his son didn't like it very much, he wouldn't tell him such a thing in person.

will not be so highly admired for such a woman, and this woman's talent does make him appreciate it very much, just looking at the thin gold font can think of her person, it must be good.

He felt that his son might have been moved by his true feelings this time, he had never seen his son, and he would care so much about a woman.

Looking at his son, waiting for his reply nervously, he felt a pain in his heart inexplicably.

He thought about it for a long time and felt that it was still necessary to explain it to his son.

"Barbarian, my father also admires this woman's talent very much, and listening to you, I also know that her appearance must not be wrong, otherwise I would not have fascinated you like this, but you have to understand one thing......

Shen Yi said this first, and suddenly stopped talking, which made Shen Canglang very entangled, and said to his father with a worried face: "Dad, I like her very much, and I ask you to agree." ”

Shen Yi thought for a long time before finally deciding to say the following to his son.

"If you really like her, then you can take her as a concubine as a side room, but definitely not as a main room!"

Shen Canglang was a little stunned when he heard this, his father Shen Yixian never accepted a concubine, how could he suddenly agree to marry a side room.

But Siyu's mother had already said that she would never allow her daughter to marry someone else as a concubine.

In this way, it is impossible for him and Siyu to be together at all!

This time he was a little anxious, he stammered a little, and he was sweating profusely.

He explained incoherently to his father: "Then Aunt Chen does not allow her daughter to be a concubine, please think about this matter, I don't want to take a concubine, I just want Chen Siyu." ”

Shen Yi first listened to his son's words, and saw that his expression was very anxious, and he understood that he had moved his sincerity, and he couldn't help but have a headache.

He knows that his son has always been very obsessed, don't look at him usually very wooden, but it is very difficult for others to change the things he recognizes.

So he has a nickname in the house called Barbarian, which is called from childhood to adulthood, and everyone in the house knows his nickname.

Shen Yixian also had a headache, and said to his son: "You must listen to me in this matter, you must not be rash." ”

This time it was Shen Canglang's turn, very discouraged, he sat aside angrily, and said loudly to his father Shen Yixian: "Dad, I don't marry her, this matter is absolutely not negotiable, and I only marry her, I only want to like her, as for the Zuo Mingzhu you assigned to me, I will never marry." ”

Shen Yixian was also very angry at this time, and he shot the case, and he taught loudly: "Barbarian, can you be louder?" You don't know what kind of family Zuo Taishi is, you don't know what kind of family you are, how can you do everything you want, this marriage is about the right family, and you can't be too far apart! ”

Shen Canglang suddenly fell into an incomparable loss, standing there alone and standing against the wall without saying a word.

This scene made his father, Shen Canglang, very sad when he saw it.

He said to his son with some distress: "You don't like Zuo Mingzhu, your father doesn't force you, but there are so many children of eunuchs in the capital, you might as well take a look!" ”

"Dad, I really just like her, and I've never begged you for anything, you can do it with me!"

"But the Chen family, I think it's really too poor, and they have no background, so they can't help you in your career."

Only then did Shen Canglang understand that the original knot was here, and his father still hoped that he would find someone with a similar family background.

At least his mother's family has a little power to help him in his future career, and he is also counting on him to revitalize the Shen family and continue the glory of the Shen family.

He looked back at his father, whose face was full of hope for him.

He replied a little weakly: "The future of the Shen family should be handed over to my brother, I want to choose the person I like according to my wishes!" ”

"No way!"

Shen Yixian replied categorically with a frosty face, "Your eldest brother has already had a marriage contract with Admiral Sun's daughter, but Admiral Sun's power is outside the fortress and in the capital, he is beyond the reach of the whip, and you are needed here!" ”

Shen Yi brushed his sleeves away after saying this.

Shen Canglang understood that he was afraid that he would never be able to be with Siyu, but he was still very unwilling in his heart.

Siyu didn't know everything that happened to the Shen family, and Shen Canglang didn't mention it in the letter he wrote to her.

Siyu is still eagerly looking forward to the Shen family coming to the matchmaker to propose to her family.

But as the days passed, the Shen family still did not move.

This made Siyu very bottomless in her heart, and she seemed to have a faint bad premonition in her heart.

But fortunately, Siyu didn't take this matter too seriously, and what made her a little annoyed was Grandma Wang's family, who still didn't want to pay attention to herself, which made her very sad.

In addition, Siyu's mood was a little unhappy, but most of the rest of the time, she was very happy.

In the past, those Confucian scholars who liked to read her pamphlets all inquired about where her home was, and wanted to come and buy some of her pamphlets, but they were very surprised by the scene in front of them.

Where would they have thought that the little bookstore that was with them every day turned out to be a woman, and it was so enchanting and beautiful, it made their eyes shine.

I hated myself that day, I had a pair of discerning eyes, and I didn't even recognize that it was a woman, I only felt that he was a bit like a sissy, but no one thought about it in that way.

Who would have thought that the poor little bookstore who wore this patch and patch in the past turned out to be a woman pretending, which really made them jaw-dropping.

What surprised them even more was how happy he might have been if someone had come to buy his booklets.

But they came to Siyu's house in a group today, wanting to buy some pamphlets, but she refused, and even more pitiful was the Zheng Shusheng who often bought his pamphlets.

"Siyu, you can sell us some pamphlets, we will definitely add some more money to you!"

Siyu smiled sweetly and said to these Confucian students, "It's not that I don't want to sell, but I haven't painted at all these days, and I don't plan to make a living from this in the future." ”

The Confucian students were very surprised when they heard this, and they didn't understand, how could Siyu, who used to value money more than anything else, suddenly change his sex?

Seeing their very disappointed expressions, it also made Siyu very unhappy.

"That's it, you come back in three days, I'll draw ten more copies, but I won't charge money anymore in the future, you can read it if you want, and it can be regarded as a kind of support for me!"

The Confucian scholars were very happy to hear this, especially the Zheng scholar, who was originally a very stingy person.

How could he not be happy to be able to read Siyu's booklet without spending money?

Mother Chen knew that they were all Confucian students of Fenglong Academy, and they had been with Siyu for the past two years, and they had also taken care of his business very well, so she entertained them very warmly and sat down to have a good conversation with Siyu.

"Siyu, you don't know that the Fenglong Academy after you left is very lonely and boring!"

"Siyu, we were all listless when you weren't there, but now I think you're our pistachio!"

"Siyu, when will you be able to return to Fenglong Academy? We all miss you so much! ”

Siyu's big eyes rolled, and Wan'er smiled at them and said, "I want to go back too, but I want to ask Dean Fan, can the academy recruit female students?" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard her say this, they understood that Siyu came to the academy in the past disguised as a man, and they thought that this was also forced by life.

When everyone was talking happily, suddenly a sentence from Zheng Shusheng made everyone surprised.

"Siyu, in the future, you can just make a picture album for me, I will pay you a high price for silver, and I will definitely not look at it in vain."

This Zheng Shusheng was originally very stingy, and suddenly burst out with such words, which made Siyu a little surprised.

As Zheng Shusheng said, my brother will definitely be able to go to high school this time, at least within the top seventy, which is more than enough to be a magistrate.

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, but when Siyu heard this, their hearts tightened inexplicably.

She wondered if it could be his brother, who was wearing the white linen undershirt.
