Chapter 704: Forced Marriage
Liu Yuan said: "Look at the brown color again." ”
Shen Kang looked at it and said, "The brown color is pale green, and it is bright." ”
Liu Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "What kind of tea is this?" ”
Shen Kang said with a smile: "Lushan Yunwu, Mr. once tasted this tea for students, and today's product is more fragrant than that of the day, and it should be added to the tea with some jasmine stamens." The delicate and elegant fragrance of jasmine is a perfect match with the clouds and mist of Lushan, and the students have learned another trick. ”
Shen Kang paused slightly, frowned, took another sip of tea, and asked, "Why is there a hint of sweetness in the tea?" ”
Liu Yuan put the pot in front of the two, and then said: "Hahaha, your tongue is now well-informed. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Yuan shook his head with a low smile, and said: "Actually, today's pot of tea is cooked using the ancient method, and the stove used to cook tea is cast in wrought iron, so there is a hint of sweetness in the tea, which is left over from cast iron." ”
"Well, I see." Shen Kang nodded and said with a smile: "It's really a good pot of tea." ”
Shen Kang looked at Shen Ning with a smile and asked, "Eldest sister, is Mr.'s tea delicious?" ”
Shen Ning nodded and said, "It's different." Shen Ning said this, looked at the three carts of flower seedlings and flowers in the middle of the courtyard, and asked, "Mr. Liu, what kind of flower is this?" ”
Liu Yuan stroked his beard and smiled, and said, "You can come and see with me." ”
The three of them put down their teacups and came to the car.
Liu Yuan pointed to the flower tree and said, "Look at this tree, it is a purple-leaved barberry, also known as a red-leaved barberry." When the fruit is ripe, it is bright red and beautiful, and I ordered someone to transplant it from another place. ”
Shen Ning raised his hand to stroke the little red fruit, new love, and said with a smile: "It's really small and cute." ”
Liu Yuan said with a smile: "This tree is the most cold-resistant, and likes semi-shade, it can be planted in the corner, and then planted with wisteria, it will be more gorgeous." ”
Shen Ning nodded and said, "Mr. Liu, don't all scholars love plum blossoms and green bamboos?" Why do you love these flowers? ”
Liu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled loudly, and said: "I love Dumei well, but the garden full of flowers is also beautiful, and it is naturally lovely." ”
Shen Kang smiled and said: "There are thousands of people's preferences, but they are often changed by the eyes of others or the current trend, but there are not many people who can be like Mr. ”
When Shen Ning heard this, he nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "yes, why should I question the guiltlessness for the sake of others." ”
Shen Kang smiled and said: "Eldest sister, whether it is a match or not, it doesn't matter what others say, it doesn't matter what you say, the opinion of the family, the status is indeed important, but what is more important is not your fate and affection?" ”
Shen Ning raised his eyes to look at Shen Kang, smiled slightly, it was more beautiful than the flowers in the garden, looked at Liu Yuan again, leaned over slightly, and said, "Ning Niang made you laugh." ”
Liu Yuan shook his head, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "It's time for me to plant flowers." ”
Shen Kang arched his hand and said, "Then the student won't bother Mr. anymore, and the student will retreat." ”
As he spoke, he bowed and retreated with Shen Ning.
After meeting Liu Yuan, Shen Ning didn't go out again, only embroidered the dowry in the room, waiting for the day of marriage.
In a blink of an eye, it was the seventeenth day, and the next day Shen Kang and Shen Chang were going to leave home again to study.
The next day, the family sat together again and had a reunion dinner.
After the meal, the family sat together and chatted.
Shen Wangshi lowered his head and looked at the needlework in his hand, raised his eyes from time to time to look at his three children, and said in a sloppy manner: "A few days ago, I went to Yang's house to give gifts, and gave the cloth brought back by the junior to Mrs. Yang and Siniang, and Siniang was very happy to see it. ”
Shen Kang smiled and said, "Is Siniang okay?" ”
Shen Wangshi nodded, his face was full of joy, and said: "It's very beautiful, but the chief is a scholar, and the rules are very big, and Siniang is not allowed to go out like when she was a child." When he said this, Shen Wang obviously had some regret.
Shen Ning immediately heard the intention in Shen Wang's words, and said with a smile: "Mother, the second and third children have to concentrate on their studies and start a family now, let's talk about it when they are happy." ”
Shen Wang snorted lightly and said: "Don't be a mother who hasn't read books, so you don't understand the reason, everyone says that starting a family and starting a business, starting a family and starting a business, since it means starting a family first and then starting a business." ”
She raised her hand and gently scraped her scalp with a needle, smiled again, and said: "Since ancient times, men and women have been married by their parents. ”
She looked at Shen Kang, looked at her side, and found that Zhao Wanxi was not there, and asked in a low voice: "Jiuniang is not too young, or the third child will take her as a partial house, right?" ”
smiled and said to Shen Chang: "That Siniang is a good girl, why don't you let her be your daughter-in-law?" A few of you have been playing together since childhood, and you always have a friendship of childhood sweethearts, and you will get along well in the future. ”
Shen Chang looked at Shen Kang in embarrassment and said, "Third child, speak." ”
Shen grinned and said, "Mother, the eldest sister is not married yet, and the elder brother has not yet talked about marriage, so the son can't break the rules." ”
With a light word, he pushed things out.
Shen Changke was anxious, and said with a flushed face: "I regard Siniang as my sister, how can I marry her!" Mother, don't be verbose. ”
Shen Wang's eyes widened and said, "You shabby boy!" Who are you talking about! I'm your mother! You unfilial one! As he spoke, he threw down the needlework in his hand, picked up the broom of the broom and slapped Shen Chang's buttocks.
Shen Chang jumped up like a grasshopper, and shouted while dodging: "Mother! How old am I, why are you still spanking me! ”
"Fart! How old you are that you are not my son! Shen Wang raised his voice and chased after Shen Chang while shouting.
The family laughed happily, dodging Shen Wang's broom pimple while watching the two chase and fight.
Shen Ning covered his lips and smiled, and asked in a low voice: "Little San, you can't do without Jiu Niang, she has been waiting for you for so many years." ”
Shen Kang's face was embarrassed, and he said in a low voice: "She is not the child daughter-in-law I bought, and Sister Wan is also a young lady from a big family, so if you are a concubine for me, wouldn't you wronged her, don't mention it." ”
Although Zhao Wanxi, who was outside the door, did not hear the whispers of the two sisters and brothers, she listened to Shen Kang's words of resignation from Shen Wang's family word for word.
She slowly lowered her eyes, her face flushed slightly, and she didn't know whether it was because she was angry or shy, so she turned around and ran away.
Shen Wang chased after Shen Chang and lightly slapped him a few times, before he could be regarded as sparing the kid, he pushed him away with a smile, and said, "My son can't help it, okay, okay, you two bastards, go back, don't get in my way here." ”
Shen Chang got off the kang with a little grievance, put on his shoes, and said, "My son is back, and my father and mother are resting early." ”
Shen Cheng waved his hand and said, "Rest." ”
Shen Kang also got off the kang and put on his shoes, said goodbye to his father, and walked out of the door with Shen Chang.
