Chapter 43: Shocking Marriage
Shen Lixing was pulled by her, inexplicably. When he came to the bookshelf, Gao Shiman lay on the ground and pointed to the bead and said, "There is a bead here, I can't pick it out." ”
Seeing her lying on the ground and pouting her hips, Shen Lixing couldn't cry or laugh, he stepped forward and pinched her armpits, hugged her and said, "Look what you look like."
Gao Shiman was coldly pinched by him, and stood up and said, "There is really a bead in that!" ”
Shen Lixing didn't answer, took her hand and came to the desk, walked in and took out a small box from the drawer and pushed it in front of her: "Open it and take a look!" ”
She looked at the simple pattern of the box, picked it up and admired it for a long time, and praised: "What a beautiful box, no wonder someone will buy the pearl!" ”
"If you open it and look at it, if you just want to leave the box, then I can't help but laugh at you," Shen Lixing said with a light smile.
Hearing him say this, Gao Shiman naturally wanted to open the box to see what kind of rare thing it was, as soon as he opened it, the nine pearls were pink and white and full like a small dragon's eye, and the grains were round and flawless, because in the room, she couldn't see if it could emit colorful rainbow light, and she couldn't put it down and took one out to take a closer look.
Li Chong brought people in to set the meal, and when he saw Gao Shiman holding the box of pearls, he looked at Shen Lixing. I only heard Shen Lixing say to Gao Shiman: "If you like it, take it back, it will be regarded as a reward for helping me analyze the case today."
Li Chong was taken aback when he heard this, each pearl in this box was worth about three hundred taels, and they were all given to Gao Shiman?
But Gao Shiman didn't know the value of this pearl at all, and she didn't raise her head and said, "Thank you, cousin Yan."
Li Chong's heart trembled when he heard her understatement of thanks. I heard Gao Shiman say again: "This is only nine grains, and I want the one in the bookshelf too, so that it is perfect." ”
After hearing this, Shen Lixing said, "Li Chong, go and get the grain out under the bookshelf!" ”
Li Chong hurriedly went to the bookshelf to find the bead, and Shen Lixing pulled Gao Shiman to the dining table to eat.
Gao Shiman looked at the four or five dishes on the table, and said with a smile: "Can we finish eating?" ”
"You eat more," Shen Lixing put the fish belly on her plate and said, "Eat!" ”
Gao Shiman was also hungry, so he buried his head in eating. Shen Lixing saw that she was eating seriously, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Du Yuxin learned that Gao Shiman stayed in Shen Lixing's study for a long time and didn't come out, and Li Chong also sent the food in, and he hated suffering in his heart. At most, she has wandered around the door in this study, and she has never seen what it looks like inside, but this Gao Shiman doesn't know how many times she has been in.
Ever since she knew that Gao Shiman was really the candidate for the future housewife, she tossed and turned every night and couldn't sleep. The first time I met Gao Shiman, I was not happy, and I didn't look like Gao Shiman like that, and I didn't look like a good person, if I really let her marry in, then I would be really sad in the future.
She was so angry and anxious that she didn't even eat at noon. The girl Hongxing saw that she didn't think about tea and dinner, she was anxious, and she didn't dare to persuade her, she knew that this Aunt Du had been delicate and weak in front of everyone for many years, but she was actually a powerful person, and she didn't dare to ask for suspicion in front of her.
But the master doesn't eat, she can't eat either, Du Yuxin doesn't do anything all day long, just sits there sad and sad, and he won't be hungry if he doesn't eat for a day; But she is different, every day she has to serve the master, there are many trivial things to take care of, the chest is close to the back when she is hungry, and she can't eat at this time, there is only a nameless fire in her heart, and she doesn't dare to attack, and she stares pitifully before the meal.
Over there, Li Chong was lying on the ground and kept tossing, but he didn't dare to hurt the bead, Gao Shiman's meal was half eaten, and he got the bead intact. He put the beads to his mouth and sighed, carefully wiped them on his sleeves, and saw that there were no scratches, so he brought them to Gao Shiman and said, "Miss, the beads are pulled out, and lo and behold, there are no scratches at all."
Gao Shiman listened to the bead and looked at it carefully, and smiled at him: "Really, I really want to thank you." ”
Hearing her say thank you, Li Chong hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare" After speaking, he saw Shen Lixing glaring at him, and he quickly withdrew to guard outside.
After eating, Gao Shiman put away the box and was about to go home, because Shen Lixing was going to find Lord Liang in the afternoon, so he asked Li Chong to arrange for someone to send her back.
As soon as Gao Shiman left, Du Yuxin touched the study, she was standing outside, Li rushed in to report, Shen Lixing came out and saw her standing in the wind, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and stepped forward to ask her, "What's the matter with me?" ”
Du Yu said coquettishly: "Yantang, I'll see if you've eaten, the weather is getting colder and colder, you need to add more clothes."
If Gao Shiman was present, he would definitely laugh off his big teeth, this kind of old stalk is used to soak a man like Shen Lixing, I don't know how useful it is.
Shen Lixing frowned when he heard this: "The master mother has decided, don't call me anymore in the future, and I will change my self-professed words, otherwise she will enter the mansion in the future, and it will be difficult to guarantee that she will not use your mistake as a raft."
Du Yu's heart was discouraged, and he held back his tears and whispered: "Yes." ”
"It's okay, you can go back to the room, I still have something to do" Shen Lixing saw that she was fine, turned around and went back to the study.
Du Yuxin returned to his courtyard with grief and anger all the way, and as soon as he entered, he cut the clothes placed next to the bed in a muffled manner, and he was still crying outside the study just now, but now there is not a single tear, only boundless hatred.
And when Gao Shiman returned to the house, he happened to meet Qian Minzhi who had just returned to the house, Qian Minzhi pulled her to Qiulan Pavilion and said happily: "Shiman, today Second Master Qin asked me to go to Daoxianglou, saying that I should teach the people in the account room to do accounts, and after going to the account room, they were disdainful of me at first because I was a woman; But I only taught for half a day, their attitude was different, at noon had to let me stay in the building to eat, Wang shopkeeper also specially asked the kitchen to get me two dishes, I was simply flattered! ”
Gao Shiman saw her excitement and teased her: "You didn't let them apprentice? It's so cheap for them, it's really unpleasant! ”
"How can anyone worship a woman as a teacher, isn't this tormenting me" Qian Minzhi shook his head.
"There is no order to learn, the master is the teacher, why can't I worship you as a teacher, tomorrow I will go to tell Qin Erye, if you don't worship the teacher, you are not allowed to teach them" Gao Shiman was triumphant.
When Qian Min heard this, he was about to kneel down, but Gao Shiman was startled, and pulled her and said, "What are you doing?" ”
Qian Minzhi said: "What you said makes sense, these things are all you who introduced me and taught me to integrate them, I should respect you as a teacher!" ”
Gao Shiman sighed and said: "Didn't you say that we will be relatives and a family in the future, you are my sister, you will kneel to me if I teach you something, isn't this a mess of the rules?" ”
"How's that good?" Qian Min's face was tangled.
"Our family doesn't speak two words, in the future, you only have to accept apprentices, do others want to worship you as a teacher and listen to it, you have a skill in hand, and you are not afraid to eat all over the world, isn't it?"
"I think you should be my sister, I feel so ignorant in front of you," Qian Minzhi said with a smile.
"The ruler is short, the inch is long, let's make up for each other in the future" Gao Shiman smiled, she took out the box of pearls she just got today and said: "Let you see my perfection." ”
I saw her open the box, ten lustrous pink pearls exuding a warm luster, Qian Minzhi exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!" ”
"What's so pretty?" Qian Daoyi walked to the door and heard his daughter's exclamation.
"Dad, you're here!"
Gao Shiman also said: "Uncle Qian, you also come to see this bead, ten of them are exactly the same!" ”
Qian Daoyi leaned over to look at it, his heart shrank in shock, and he lost his voice and said, "Where did you get these beads?" ”
"I solved a big problem for Cousin Yan today, and he gave this to me as soon as he was happy" Gao Shiman didn't know how much these pearls were worth, otherwise she would definitely not accept them.
Qian Daoyi knew that the two had changed Geng Ti, and he knew it in his heart. It seems that Shen Lixing is still very satisfied with her, otherwise he would not have been so generous, their father and daughter were lucky to meet Gao Shiman, it is really the creation of this life, in the future, Gao Shiman will marry General Shen, what do you have to worry about? Even the future of him and his daughter is bright. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that General Shen is quite satisfied with this family business, congratulations to Shiman!" ”
Gao Shiman was confused when he heard it: "What kind of family?" Congratulations to whom? ”
Qian Daoyi saw her ignorant expression, and said strangely: "Didn't Madame tell you?" ”
"Say what?" She was even more inexplicable.
"Your relationship with General Shen!" Qian Daoyi felt a little weird.
"You're not mistaken!" Gao Shiman's eyes were so shocked that his eyes were about to pop out.
"Mistaken? No way, I heard what my wife said to me with my own ears, if this is not true, why did General Shen give you such a precious pearl? Qian Daoyi affirmed.
"How valuable?" A few rotten pearls are just a few hundred yuan in the previous life to buy a string, these are nothing more than a few big, just a few thousand dollars.
Gao Shiman didn't know that this pearl was not only big, but also top-grade in shape and color, and it was extremely difficult to obtain in this era, and it was rare and expensive, but it was not the color of the goods she saw in the counter of the mall in her previous life.
Qian Daoyi pondered it and said, "This grain is about three or four hundred taels of silver!" ”
"What!" Gao Shiman hurriedly covered the box, and now she felt that this thing was very hot.
Suddenly reacted again, her mother didn't discuss with her, and made a marriage with Shen Lixing without authorization, how can this work, Shen Lixing also has an Aunt Du, the two of them look quite affectionate, she doesn't want to be a junior! In her last life, she didn't have the life to be a junior in her next life!
She put away the box, didn't even bother to greet the Qian father and daughter, and rushed to Zheng Jilan's yard.
As soon as she entered Zheng Jilan's yard, she shouted: "Mother! Mother! ”
When Zheng Jilan heard her eager call, she probably understood that she might know about the marriage, so she sat there all her time, still reading her book.
Gao Shiman came in and saw her sitting there, and came up and said, "Mother, are you dating Cousin Yan behind my back?" ”
"What do you mean by carrying you? Men should get married, women should get married, the orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker", Zheng Jilan said lightly.
She stomped her foot when she heard this: "Then why don't you discuss it with me!" ”
"I have discussed it with your father, and he is very satisfied with this family business, what do you want to discuss? Not a spark of decency. Although the rules are like this, but the parents who love their children will definitely discuss it with their daughter in advance, Zheng Jilan knows that Su Qian even gave Gao Shiman a love token secretly, how could he discuss it with her, and now he can only use the rules to pressure her.
Gao Shiman was a little stunned for a while, she knew that the rules of ancient times were big, but the defense of men and women in this world was obviously not so strict! How is this so?
"I don't want to marry him anyway!" Gao Shiman blurted out.
"Presumptuous!" Zheng Jilan slapped the book on the table and snorted coldly.
