Chapter 308: Marriage
Originally, he whimpered quietly, but when he heard that the eldest brother also showed regret, Wu Yafang burst into tears, "...... My daughter won't marry Yin Gongzi if she dies! "Rejected Shen Zhongxin, under Wu Zhuo's move, the Wu family quickly set the Yin family, although the family background is not as prominent as the Shen family, this Yin Gongzi is even a member of the Yuan and members in the township examination, and even the Li scholar of the Hanlin Academy is optimistic about him, and he is accepted as a protΓ©gΓ©, predicting that he can win the first place in this year's palace examination, and even the third yuan, "My daughter will not marry in this life, so she will go to Daci Temple to be a sister-in-law!" "Got up and looked around for scissors, looking for knives to shaving.
Looking at her daughter who was hugged by the maid, Grandma Wu Si gritted her teeth fiercely, "If you really make up your mind to marry him, I will talk about it with this old face." β
Wu Yafang's crying immediately became quieter.
At the beginning, the Shen family came to ask for it on the pole five times, and after closing the eight characters, they proposed to meet someone, and they agreed to such harsh conditions, obviously they really wanted to marry her.
Now that he agreed, he should be happy, right? Wu Yafang's slightly drooping eyes flashed with a dazzling light.
Li Qixiang, the small county lord, was sweating profusely and pressing the waterwheel.
After fixing the last bracket, the little county lord raised his head and beckoned to the maid, "Quick, bring the water!" β
The little maid quickly brought a large basin of water.
Shaking the handle vigorously, the little county lord shouted happily as he saw that the water in the big wooden basin was lifted by the small bamboo tube on the axle wheel of the waterwheel, and in the sink below, it slowly flowed to the small wooden basin in front along the route he designed.
"I made it!"
"I made it!"
β¦β¦
Ling Ya hugged the waterwheel and hurried to her parents' residence.
"Father, Mother, the waterwheel is loaded!" The brisk voice is like a swallow in the sky, and the little county lord's face is red, and he suddenly looks like a peach blossom in March.
was taking the maid to pack the cage, and the princess of Nanjun saw that she was busy and helped her. ββ¦β¦ How many times have I said that a woman should be dignified and virtuous, and behave shamefully, look at you like this, you can't marry after being careful. The tone of reprimand was doting, looking at her innocent and lively daughter, Princess Nanjun sighed helplessly.
"It's just right that you can't get married, and your daughter will stay at home with her mother for the rest of her life!" When the little county lord heard this, he put his arms around the neck of the princess of Nanjun and giggled, "No one has stipulated that a woman must marry!" β
"Nonsense!" I am sorting out letters. King Nanjun's face sank, "Look at you, if you don't sit or not, if you don't stand, what kind of system will you become!" β
Princess Nanjun shuddered.
Hurriedly pulled down his daughter's hand around his neck. Quietly motioned for her to go and sit aside.
The little county lord quietly stuck out his tongue.
Yu Guang saw her father's gloomy face, her eyes rolled, and she turned around to take the waterwheel in the trembling little maid's hand and put it on the bookcase, "...... Father, you see, the waterwheel is ready, and you can use it to bring water from the Li River up to irrigate the fields when you go back this time. While shaking the handle and explaining, the little county lord secretly looked at his father's expression. Seeing that his brows were stretched and he looked at him intently, the corners of the little county lord's mouth secretly curved, "In the future, the people of the southwest will no longer have to carry water under the scorching sun to water the fields!" β
ββ¦β¦ That's great! "I forgot to be angry. King Nanjun was overjoyed, he took the handle and shook it, and at the same time instructed people to carry water, remembering something. Raising his hand, he took out a scroll of drawings from the table, "This is the map of the Li River Basin sent by Zhuo Dacai." You take advantage of the way back to the southwest to study and study, plan a water diversion irrigation plan, and we will start building it as soon as we get home! "It's already March, and it's too late.
On the way back to the Southwest?
The little county lord was stunned, and suddenly found that his parents were packing up the cage, "...... Father and mother are going back to the southwest? The voice was a little sharp, and the little county lord was reluctant to give up.
She didn't know what she was reluctant to do, but she didn't want to leave Shangjing.
The king of Nanjun and the princess of Nanjun were stunned at the same time.
Princess Nanjun stopped what she was doing, "It's March, it's long overdue to burn the loose soil, it's not waiting to participate in the post-establishment ceremony, your father has already left." She looked at the calendar on the desk, "...... We couldn't delay any longer, we attended the opening ceremony of the rejuvenation clinic and left. Because of her niece Yang Xuemei, she owes Zhen Shi Niang's affection, and although the king of Nanjun is anxious to scratch his liver, he has a hint of long live, and he has to stay to participate in the opening ceremony of the rejuvenation medical hall.
"So fast?" The little county lord felt a faint sense of loss in his heart.
ββ¦β¦ How? King Nanjun was puzzled.
"My daughter has been studying the waterwheel at home, and she hasn't had time to go out to play." The little county lord pulled his father's arm and shook it, "...... With Lord Zhuo sitting in the formation, let's stay for a few more days. β
For this waterwheel, she did miss many banquets and outings, and Princess Nanjun was slightly moved.
"No way!" King Nanjun's face sank.
Unwillingly pouted, the little county lord's eyes rolled, and he rubbed to the side of the princess of Nanjun, "...... Mother! Her eyes fell on the waterwheel, and her eyes lit up, "By the way, although this waterwheel is barely installed, there are some places where the daughter still doesn't understand much, and it will be troublesome if she can't imitate it if she goes back in a hurry, or the father will go back first, and the daughter and mother will ......" Before she finished speaking, she saw her father's face darken, and hurriedly changed her words, "...... By the way, the daughter heard that Second Master Shen had resigned from the errand of the Hanlin Academy, so her father might as well beg General Shen to take him with him. "Look at the father flatteringly," so that the daughter is not afraid of not being able to press it. And said, "Not only the waterwheel, but also the things that Second Master Shen knows, what a wooden plow, a farm cart......" His eyes rolled, and the little county lord tried his best to think of things that might impress his father.
The room was very quiet.
King Nanjun and Princess Nanjun glanced at each other.
Could it be that she was reluctant to leave Shangjing because of the second master of the Shen family!
The thought flashed, and Princess Nanjun's face changed, "...... Have you met Second Master Shen? There was a wave of extreme suppression in the seemingly calm tone.
Just as he was talking vigorously, the little county lord almost bit his tongue.
Her father and mother strictly ordered her not to go to Shen Zhongxin!
However, although the drawings of the waterwheel were sent, there were many places that could not be understood because they were too sloppy, so I asked the craftsman a few times, but she was not a particularly clever person, and she always said that she could not understand, so she simply took advantage of her parents to attend the Spring Festival banquet and secretly ran to the general's mansion.
Unlike those men around her, full of sweet words, like flies around her, Shen Zhongxin is stinky and hard, always with a cold face to avoid the plague, and he doesn't care if he can see clearly and explain from eight hundred zhang away, he refuses to get close to herself, so that she can't kick her feet.
However, he is really good-looking, just standing there there has an indescribable flow of grace, that slightly magnetic low voice her heart pounds just listening to it, especially once she was concentrating on the drawings, suddenly raised his head, he was looking at himself with a pair of warm eyes, now thinking about it, she couldn't help but beat her heart...... The handsome and elegant figure flashed in front of him again, and the little county lord's face was slightly hot, and his hand involuntarily stroked his cheek.
Thinking about it, she saw her parents looking at her quietly, the little county lord trembled, she subconsciously shook her head, "No, no, my daughter has been honestly staying at home to study the waterwheel, how can I have the kung fu to meet Shen Erye, Zhang Erye!" β
A guilty person gives himself away by conspicuously protesting his innocence!
Seeing that her daughter's face instantly turned red, the green tendons on Nanjun Wang's forehead jumped a few times.
Seeing that King Nanjun's face was wrong, Princess Nanjun hurriedly put on a straight face, "...... Even if Second Master Shen is no longer in the Hanlin Academy, there is still a high hall old mother on it, and she is not an ordinary craftsman, so you can invite whatever you want. Without a trace, he separated the little county lord from the king of Nanjun with his body, and pushed her out," ...... Why don't you go back and pack your things! β
A little unwilling, but seeing that his father's face was blue, he was really angry, and the little county lord stomped his foot vigorously and ran out.
"You're used to her!" Nanjun Wang slapped his palm on the bookcase, "Look at it, what are you used to?" How can there be a little bit of the reserve of the daughter's family! Thinking of the fact that he had just refused to get married, his daughter secretly ran out to find someone, and the green tendons on the back of Nanjun Wang's hand jumped up half an inch high.
This old face was really lost by her!
ββ¦β¦ Your daughter is also used to this! was reprimanded by her husband for no reason, and Princess Nanjun was also a little angry, "She worked hard to assemble the waterwheel, isn't it for you!" β
His eyes fell on the waterwheel, and the arrogance of King Nanjun immediately decreased.
In the final analysis, her daughter ran out to find Shen Zhongxin despite her ban, and it was also for this waterwheel.
ββ¦β¦ Although Second Master Shen has no fame, he is also a gentleman who wants to be a gentleman. Seeing that the king of Nanjun was silent, the voice of the princess of Nanjun also lowered, "I just was rejected by us, I heard that this waterwheel can benefit the people of the southwest, he sent the drawings over without saying a word, Xiang'er couldn't understand it, we sent the craftsman to ask, which time didn't we all patiently give an answer, and let the craftsman bring it back in detail?" "Sigh," ...... With such a heart, where can you find it, it is even more rare that he also likes the organ Dunjia, which is in harmony with Xiang'er's temper. β
What Princess Nanjun said is not false at all, abandoning the old lady Shen, the king of Nanjun is also optimistic about Shen Zhongxin in his heart, at least he is also a magnanimous and upright person.
Seeing that he was tempted, Princess Nanjun took the opportunity to say, "...... You have always been afraid of Mrs. Shen, this time the queen canonization ceremony Mrs. Shen did not go, I heard that it was because I was getting more and more forgetful, I forgot whether I had eaten or not as soon as I put down the rice bowl, and shouted to serve food, and I couldn't find a home just out of the courtyard, I spoke and acted like a child, and I couldn't leave anyone around me for a moment. β
If this is the case, the small county lord will no longer be able to stand the anger of his mother-in-law when he marries in the past.
What's more, Shen Zhongqi and his wife have become the father-in-law and stepmother of the five princes, and once the five princes sit on the throne of Jiuding, Shen Zhongqi and Zhen Shiniang will be the uncrowned emperor and the queen mother!
There aren't many opportunities for such marriages!
Now, about all the unmarried girls in the capital are eager to marry the Shen family, right?
Princess Nanjun sighed in her heart.
Therefore, when she saw her daughter blushing when she mentioned Shen Zhongxin, she was shocked and happy, and subconsciously, she also wanted to promote this marriage.
"Dementia?" The king of Nanjun was stunned,...... Isn't Mrs. Shen a miracle doctor? β
