254 Enlightenment
In the tenth year of Jingkang, Emperor Jingkang died, and the edict was passed on to the three princes, and the three princes were from a humble background and did not have a capable foreign family.
It's just that these are the affairs of the court, even if they are in a mess, they will not affect Jiangxia City.
Shen Tuantuan is already seventeen years old, even if Shen Zhong is reluctant to Shen Tuantuan, he didn't listen to Shen Changzhi's persuasion at this time, and he set the day at the end of the year. Let the Ning family marry a daughter-in-law for the New Year.
Shen Tuantuan's wedding date was set, and Shen Zhong was afraid of being disgusted by Shen Changzhi, so he had to force Shen Changzhi to go on a blind date. After all, Shen Changzhi is now an old man, and he is already an old man in his twenties. If it weren't for the fact that the Shen family is thriving now, and Shen Changzhi is still handsome, maybe Shen Changzhi would have been talked about behind his back.
Since the wedding date was set, Shen Tuantuan came back from the academy, living at home every day, embroidering and tailoring, of course, Shen Tuantuan has not grown up over the years, saying that it is embroidery and tailoring, but just watching Aunt Wang busy, she is talking to Aunt Wang on the side, relieving Aunt Wang's boredom.
On the occasion of Qingming, Shen Changzhi returned to Taohuazhuang early, and brought back a lot of good things, I am afraid of calligraphy and painting. In the past two years, Shen Changzhi often went out to study with Old Man Xiao, and every time he went out with Old Man Xiao to visit, he was a famous calligrapher and painter, and he went for several months. Old man Xiao told Shen Changzhi every time that the calligraphy and painting he was about to visit was particularly brilliant, so that Shen Changzhi would pay more attention, in other words, he would learn well!
As for Shen Changzhi, there is naturally nothing that he can't do, so he is full of promises.
These two masters and apprentices are not people with discipline.
Therefore, Shen Changzhi was taken by Old Man Xiao at a glance. It really smells like that.
It's just that Shen Changzhi is different from Old Man Xiao in that he has another thing to do. It's rare to see calligraphy and painting, there are a lot of calligraphy and painting who have already stopped writing, if you can get a few ink treasures for Shen Tuantuan to make a dowry at the bottom of the box, it would be great!
Therefore, when the old man Xiao saw the scene that made his hair stand upside down every time he thought of it, every time he saw everyone in calligraphy and painting, Shen Changzhi was like a hanging, advancing and retreating in moderation, when he looked at everyone in calligraphy and painting, his eyes were wet, his eyes were full of admiration, and by the way, there was a little reverence, and there was a little regret, what do you regret? Regret becoming Old Man Xiao's apprentice? Didn't you meet him, a real master of calligraphy and painting?
There is a little bit of comparison between calligraphy and painting, looking at Old Man Xiao's personal disciples can look at him with such eyes, does it mean that his paintings are more powerful than Old Man Xiao! Just thinking about it, I can't help but get excited.
Therefore, every time at the time of parting, Shen Changzhi struggled to ask for calligraphy and painting everyone's calligraphy, and everyone responded without thinking about it! What's more, every time Shen Changzhi asked for Mobao, he carried Old Man Xiao behind his back, and from time to time he made a guard appearance, which greatly pleased the vanity of everyone in calligraphy and painting!
So much so that Shen Changzhi never missed!
When Old Man Xiao saw Shen Changzhi ask for someone else's ink treasure for the first time, Old Man Xiao's heart was not to mention how uncomfortable, but when it was like this one after another, Old Man Xiao couldn't be calm anymore, but he didn't have a good face for Shen Changzhi, because as soon as Shen Changzhi came out of the house of calligraphy and painting, he began to reveal his true form, and he didn't respect him at all!
However, when he returned to Jiangxia City, Shen Changzhi took out all the good things he bought along the way and gave them to Shen Tuantuan, but when he finally took out the calligraphy and paintings, he said to Shen Tuantuan: "These things are the ink treasures of the calligraphy and painting masters, and they will be kept at the bottom of the box in the future." Tuan Tuan, you have time to see, which one do you like, and when I pass by, I will ask you for a few more. β
"I don't know these paintings and calligraphy, even if I show them, I can't see any good ones. After all, it is everyone who paints and calligraphy, and it is always impossible to go wrong. β
"It's okay, it's good to hang it at home and put it on the faΓ§ade." Shen Changzhi waved his hand absentmindedly, stuffed a large volume of calligraphy and paintings to Shen Tuantuan, and asked Shen Tuantuan to find a box to put it in.
When Old Man Xiao saw this scene, he suddenly felt that after that, he sighed, sure enough, only Shen Changzhi had the most appetite, and he didn't knock the wrong person.
When he went out next time, Old Man Xiao was happy to cooperate with Shen Changzhi, and when Shen Changzhi touted other calligraphy and painting masters, Old Man Xiao made a forbearant appearance, he couldn't bear it, and when he returned to the room, he scolded Shen Changzhi!
With the cooperation of Old Man Xiao, Shen Changzhi gained a lot, and once, the family took three paintings!
In this way, Old Man Xiao was even more happy, and he had to run out with Shen Changzhi from time to time.
Therefore, this time, because of Qingming, Shen Changzhi rushed back from outside, and when he came back, he brought a lot of good things as usual.
"Brother, you don't have to buy so many things, Ning Nanxing can't stuff so many things in the yard he bought."
Shen Changzhi listened, but he didn't take it to heart. "The yard that Ning Nanxing bought is small, that's why he slammed the door and asked him to buy another big one, isn't it okay?"
Because the two families were close to each other and the courtyard of the Ning family was small, Ning Nanxing was afraid that he would wronged Shen Tuantuan, so he bought a second-entry courtyard in the city, and Mrs. Xiao had already gone to the yard and took care of the new yard according to Shen Tuantuan's preferences.
Shen Tuantuan felt that the courtyard of the two entrances was big enough, and the Ning family was only one of their grandchildren, and the courtyard was too big, making it even more deserted. "Brother Nanxing said that he still has to come to live in the village in the future, and there is no need to buy a big yard."
Shen Changzhi waved his hand, "Ouch, my good sister, you just need to take care of it and prepare for marriage." Your dowry will naturally be prepared for you by your family, even if you are not rare, in the future, it will be left to my nephews and nieces. β
Shen Tuantuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, this is a shadowless thing, and Shen Changzhi can say it. "Everyone in the village has said that my brother is twenty-one years old and still refuses to marry, and he also prepares a dowry for me with great fanfare, which means that the family will be emptied, and after I see the Shen family, who will be willing to marry you."
"Nonsense!" Shen Changzhi rubbed the top of Shen Tuantuan's head, and just like when he was a child, he rubbed Shen Tuantuan's black hair before he stopped. Looking at Shen Tuantuan's annoyed appearance, Shen Changzhi smiled lowly.
Alas, I didn't expect that in such a blink of an eye, his Tuan Tuan would grow up and get married......
Just thinking of Ning Nanxing's recent appearance of being able to float up when he walked, Shen Changzhi couldn't help but grit his teeth!
"Brother, when are you going to get married!"
"If there is no one, what is it to get married? Who to marry? Shen Changzhi glared at Shen Tuantuan, "Take care of your own business, I heard that the wedding dress is not embroidered?" β
As soon as he heard the wedding dress, Shen Tuantuan's hands trembled, because Aunt Wang insisted that the wedding dress should be done by Shen Tuantuan herself, but Shen Tuantuan's embroidered purse couldn't be seen, let alone the wedding dress! "Don't mention it, if I am asked to embroider a wedding dress, I will be ashamed to wear it!"
Shen Changzhi chuckled, "It's good that you know, earlier, what did you do, now you know that the wedding dress won't be embroidered." β
Shen Tuantuan didn't think that Shen Changzhi was laughing at her, "Fortunately, the Ning family has a simple population, otherwise, I would be tired to death just by making shoes and socks or something." The wedding dress can be embroidered with a few stitches, but the shoes and socks given to the elders still have to be made by Shen Tuantuan himself. β
This is also to say it at home, and in the future, when you go to someone else's house, you still have to remember that there is a door on your mouth. Even if the Ning family knows the roots, this affection can't stand up. Shen Changzhi nodded Shen Tuantuan's forehead.
Although Shen Tuantuan's words were just an unintentional sentence, if they were heard by the Ning family, they would definitely not feel very comfortable. Who doesn't want people to prosper?
Shen Tuantuan stuck out his tongue, and also realized that what he said was wrong, "Next time, I will pay attention." β
"If the Ning family gives you grievances, let's go home."
Shen Tuantuan was amused by Shen Changzhi's cautious appearance, "Brother, your words are obviously contradictory!" So what should I listen to you? I'm so embarrassed. β
"Just do whatever you want. If you can't get by, let's go home, and my brother will support you. β
"OkayβI'll listen to my brother."
Ning Nanxing: ...... Before she married me, she wanted to kidnap my little daughter-in-law. The Shen family must not marry their daughter voluntarily!
What Shen Changzhi didn't expect was that he hadn't finished struggling with the matter of marrying his sister, and Shen Zhong was talking about introducing the little lady to Shen Changzhi......
Shen Zhong had already prepared it, and he was waiting for Shen Changzhi to return to the net when he was clear.
Therefore, after waiting for Shen Changzhi to sleep at home for one night, early the next morning, when he was still having breakfast, Shen Zhong announced at the dinner table that Shen Changzhi would prepare for a while, the daughter of the owner of a restaurant in the city.
Shen Changzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Zhong.
Shen Zhong raised his head and straightened his chest, putting on the appearance of everyone looking good, "I have already responded to this matter, just in the He Chun Building of the Qin shopkeeper, have a meal together, and ......sit down casually" Speaking of which, Shen Zhong still couldn't help but feel weak, because Shen Changzhi had been staring at him with such plausible eyes.
Without waiting for Shen Changzhi to speak, Shen Zhong himself retreated, "If you don't like it, I will definitely not force you to marry a daughter-in-law, just go and look at each other, and you will just be idle." Shopkeeper Qin's vision will not be wrong. β
In the past few years, Shopkeeper Qin has been in close contact with the Shen family, and now, Shopkeeper Qin is already a member of the Chamber of Commerce and has a lot of voice in the Chamber of Commerce.
Just when Shen Zhong thought that Shen Changzhi was going to refuse, he didn't think about it, Shen Changzhi actually responded, "When?" β
"It's today, at lunchtime. If you have time, you can go a little earlier. Shen Zhong hurriedly said.
"Got it."
Shen Tuantuan: ...... Is her brother enlightened?
