Hearing Ji Lang's words, the two little friends beside him glanced at each other and were speechless for a while.

After all, Shen Qingyi is still quite popular, handsome, and a champion with an unlimited future, and there are many people who want to marry the Shen family.

Even so, Ji Lang didn't think so.

They didn't ask for too much useful information from Ji Lang, Shen Qingyi was a little disappointed, and then returned to the Shen Mansion.

It was just that not long after he returned to the yard, his uncle found him.

Shen Qing felt a little puzzled, and welcomed his uncle into the room.

"Qingyi. Shen Shangshu walked into the room, sat on the chair beside him in a good manner, looked at Shen Qingyi, and said, "Your mother and sisters will be in Chang'an in a few days, and the family can have a good year." ”

Shen Qingyi bowed his head, his father died early, his mother and sisters had a good relationship, and they had high hopes for him.

After he won the first prize in high school, he worked in the Hanlin Academy, and now he is stable, so he wants to take his mother's unmarried sisters to come to Chang'an together.

They should be there in a few days.

Shen Qingyi bowed his head and said, "Thank you for the second uncle's care." ”

"Family, don't talk too much. Shen Shangshu said, "You are just your mother who is anxious about your life's major event after all, write a letter, and ask you to go back and forth, and find you the right marriage." ”

Hearing the second uncle mention this, Shen Qingyi's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "This matter is not in a hurry. ”

Shen Shangshu said: "You have a family and a career, you start a family and then start a business, you are already famous now, and the emperor also admires you, you don't have to worry about the future, shouldn't you also consider your own marriage?"

Shen Qingyi said: "Second uncle forgot, I have a marriage contract. ”

When Shen Shangshu heard him say this, he was slightly stunned, and then reacted that the marriage contract that Shen Qingyi said was referring to the marriage contract with the Ji family.

"The marriage contract with the Ji family has been dissolved. Shen Shangshu said, "You are now free to marry, the original marriage book has been invalidated, and your mother has a lot of complaints about the girl of the Ji family, but I am afraid that she will not agree." ”

Shen Qingyi's eyes were extremely firm: "I know my own marriage. ”

Shen Shangshu finally understood now why his wife wanted to find a girl for Shen Qingyi, but Shen Qingyi always refused.

He also had many colleagues who asked him about Shen Qingyi's marriage, and even many of them wanted to take the initiative to get married, but Shen Qingyi was still indifferent.

It turned out that he had already belonged to his heart.

Shen Shangshu said: "If you like Miss Ji, you can ask for marriage again, but I don't know what the attitude of the Liu family and the Ji family will be." Miss Ji's matter, the second uncle has also heard a little, she can be in charge of Baochang Ji alone, naturally there are places that other boudoir girls can't compare, but such a girl, her temperament has always been free and easy, she may not agree, she should not be in Chang'an now, how can you negotiate this family matter?"

"It's okay, I'll wait for her to come back. Shen Qingyi said.

Since he identified Ji Yanning, he naturally made up his mind to marry her.

Although he was rejected twice by Ji Yanning, he felt that all this was just a matter of time, and Ji Yanning would agree only if he was allowed to contact his own good.

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Shen Shangshu lowered his eyes and chuckled, and said, "It's a good thing that young people have their own decisions. If it is really a happy relationship, the second uncle will naturally not object. ”

Shen Qingyi bowed his head and did not answer.

"If you really like the girl of the Ji family, it is better to settle the matter earlier, so that the second uncle and aunt and your mother will not worry about it. Shen Shangshu said.

Shen Qingyi bowed his head and said, "Qingyi knows, I am free to decide this matter. ”

"That's fine. Shen Shangshu said, "If you need the help of the second uncle, just ask." ”

Although he is Shen Qingyi's second uncle, there are some things that cannot be completely decided by Shen Qingyi, especially his marriage, if Shen Qingyi is unwilling, he will naturally be unable to ask for it.

It's just that Shen Qingyi and Ji Yanning's marriage is not very optimistic.

After sending Shen Shangshu away, Shen Qingyi sat in his study, and for some reason, he was a little depressed.

recalled that when I first met Ji Yanning, I was impressed by her piano music, and I saw that her chess skills and conversation were not bad, so I naturally fell in love with her in my heart.

However, Ji Yanning was originally her fiancée, but the marriage contract was dissolved by mistake, which made him feel pity.

If the marriage contract between the two families had not been annulled, the relationship between him and Ji Yanning would not have been like this.

He also told Ji Yanning that the marriage should not be annulled, but Ji Yanning did not believe it, a girl she was so proud of, Xu was the same as Ji Lang, she had the original pimple in her heart, so she rejected herself.

Ji Yanning has to keep filial piety for her parents for three years, and naturally she can't marry within three years, and now there is more than a year left, and I heard that the Liu family has not set any family affairs with her during this time.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingyi somewhat ignited hope.

He thought for a moment, then handed over a post to the Liu family and made an appointment to visit.

Liu Mu, who received the post, was a little surprised, their Liu family and the Shen family have never intersected, plus the previous Ji Yanning incident, Liu Mu has no good impression of their Shen family, even if they see it, it is just a symbolic greeting, and they have not had a deep friendship.

Unexpectedly, it was written on this post that Shen Qingyi would come to visit with Shen Shangshu.

On the second day, they came as promised, because it was a day off, in addition to Liu Mu, Liu Yuan also received the two of them in the house.

"I don't know if Shen Shangshu is here, what are you doing?"

Liu Mu is not a person who likes to beat around the bush, now that the New Year is approaching, everyone's affairs are very busy, and the Shen family, who has never had any intersection on weekdays, suddenly visited, he naturally couldn't figure out what was going on.

The maid brought the tea forward, placed it on the table of Shen Shangshu and Shen Qingyi, and then retreated.

Shen Shangshu looked at Liu Mu and said, "Liu Shilang is a straightforward character, so Shen naturally doesn't want to say too many irrelevant words, I came here today to talk about a marriage with Liu Shilang." ”

Liu Mu and Liu Yuan were a little surprised when they heard Shen Shangshu's words.

"I don't know who Shen Shangshu is saying for?" asked Liu Mu.

Shen Shangshu said: "It's my nephew Shen Qingyi and Liu Shilang's niece, Miss Ji's relatives." ”

Liu Mu said: "But my niece has already told me that the marriage contract between the Shen family and her has long been invalidated, and it was the eldest lady of the Shen family who proposed to withdraw from the family, and the marriage certificate has long been invalidated, I don't know what Shen Shangshu means today?"

Shen Qingyi stood up and solemnly saluted Liu Yuan and Liu Mu.

He spoke: "I didn't know about the withdrawal at that time, but it was my mother's misunderstanding of Miss Ji that caused such a misunderstanding. I'm really sorry for this, I also explained this matter to Miss Ji. ”

Liu Mu looked at Shen Qingyi, and had to say that this Shen Qingyi was a rare young talent in the court.

And today, Shen Shangshu and Shen Qingyi came to talk about family affairs together, and they didn't just find other intermediaries, which shows how much they attach importance to Ji Yanning.

However, Liu Mu remembered clearly that Ji Yanning was not optimistic about the Shen family.

Liu Yuan was moved, with Ji Yanning's background, it is not difficult to marry into a family, but it is quite good to be able to find someone like Shen Qingyi.

She is from a business background, even if she marries into a high-ranking family, most of them can only marry a son from a concubine, even if she marries a concubine, the door may not be higher than the Liu family.

Shen Qingyi is now famous, so he is naturally much better than other people who came to propose marriage.

Liu Yuan was just about to speak, but Liu Mu had already spoken: "I'm afraid Shen Gongzi doesn't know that my niece is different from ordinary young ladies from a family, although her business is not small, but her temperament is much more self-reliant than other girls, and this marriage depends on her own will." ”

Shen Qingyi's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "This is nature. ”

"But now Yan Ning is not in Chang'an, so I am afraid that this matter will not be decided for a while. Liu Mu said, "I also appreciate Shen Gongzi's outstanding handsomeness, but this fate, I, as an uncle, can't completely call the shots." ”

The smile on Shen Shangshu's face gradually faded, how could he not hear the meaning of Liu Mu's words.

He didn't completely fancy Shen Qingyi.

Shen Qingyi bowed his head and said, "I wonder when Miss Ji will be able to return to Chang'an?"

Liu Mu said: "The return date has not been determined. ”

Shen Qingyi said: "The younger generation thinks that the parents are in charge of all major marriage matters, and Miss Ji's parents have passed away, so Liu Shilang should be in charge, so they have the courage to come to Liufu to propose marriage." The younger generation really wants to marry Miss Ji, and asks Lord Liu and Liu Shilang to be able to fulfill it. If Miss Ji comes back and does not agree to this matter, the younger generation will have no regrets when she is dismissed. ”

He said very sincerely, Liu Yuan and Liu Mu glanced at each other, and there was a little hesitation in their eyes.

Putting aside their previous grievances, this Shen Qingyi is indeed a rare candidate.

Liu Yuan said: "It's not impossible to do this. ”

As soon as he said this, Liu Mu didn't want to say anything else.

Shen Shangshu was finally relieved when he saw these two people, and secretly sighed in his heart that his nephew talked a lot about kissing on weekdays, but he had never whispered so much, it seemed that this Miss Ji really made him fall in love.

"Then this family affair will be finalized first. Shen Shangshu said, "When Miss Ji's filial piety period is over, you can pick a good day to get married again." ”

Liu Yuan said: "Naturally, it is good. ”

There was no smile in Liu Mu's eyes, Ji Yanning's temperament couldn't be clearer, as long as it was something she was reluctant to do, even if it was decided for her now, she would still not agree at that time.

It's just that Ji Yanning hasn't come back yet, and things can only be settled first.

If she agrees, it will be the best, the Shen family's family is not low, and it is a good choice.

If she doesn't agree, Shen Qingyi said it herself, and she has no regrets about being dismissed.
