Chapter 132: Cousin's Thoughts
Yu Ren also saw that Shen Yan was obviously pretending to be drunk. Because Yu Ren didn't smell the smell of wine on his cousin when Shen Yan leaned over to him just now. Yu Ren somewhat understood, and his cousin obviously already knew that his uncle was going to marry her to him. And she deliberately pretended to be drunk late at night, obviously to scare herself, so that she could take the initiative to cancel the marriage.
Thinking of this, Yu Ren already had an idea.
Shen Minghang heard his daughter say that he wanted to introduce himself to a friend, so he casually asked, "What kind of friend is it?" ”
"A friend of Mongolia. This friend of mine is very interesting, he is very straightforward, what to say in his heart, not at all like our Ming people, he always turns and grinds when he speaks, and it is tiring to listen to! ”
"Oh! Is she the one you're drinking with today? Shen Minghang had already put down the wine bowl at this time and picked up the cup of tea handed over by Yahuan next to him.
"Yes! They had just arrived in Songjiang Mansion and had no way. The other day I introduced them to a single business, and he made sure to invite me to a drink. I said no, but he got angry and said I couldn't see it. Shen Yan said as she picked up her father's chopsticks casually, took a mouthful of food on the table and put it in her mouth.
"I didn't expect that their Mongolian women were more beneficial than our Ming women, and they actually came to do business thousands of miles away." Shen Minghang sighed.
Shen Yan laughed, "What a woman! He's a man! ”
When Shen Minghang heard this, he suddenly stepped on his tail and stood up suddenly. "What, you went out drinking with a strange man at night?"
Shen Yan still looked indifferent, "Daddy, don't be angry!" I just went out for a drink, and I didn't do anything. Don't you often go out drinking with your friends and don't come back late at night? What's the big deal. Cousin, you said yes! ”
After Shen Yan finished speaking, she deliberately asked Yu Ren. In her mind, her pedantic scholarly cousin, when she heard her words, was afraid that she would be scared half to death. In this way, even if he puts a knife on his neck, he is afraid that he will not dare to marry himself.
However, to Shen Yan's disappointment, Yu Ren still looked at him with a smile on his face and nodded yes.
Yu Ren's reaction made Shen Yan feel like she was going crazy, and she easily planned a good show tonight. originally planned to scare his cousin away in one fell swoop, and from then on cancel the marriage contract with his cousin. But I didn't expect that seeing that my tricks were exhausted, the other party didn't reflect at all.
Shen Minghang was an old fox at the bottom, and he was angry with his daughter's behavior. At this time, seeing that her daughter always had to look at Yu Ren's reflection from time to time when she spoke, Shen Minghang suddenly understood. The heart was also put down.
Seeing that his father no longer cooperated with him, and asked him about his whereabouts tonight, Shen Yan also understood. His tricks have long been seen through by his father and the one next to him, who she has always regarded as a simple cousin.
"I won't marry him anyway." Shen Yan saw that this trick was ineffective, so she simply made it clear.
In the past, every time her daughter lost her temper, in the end, Shen Minghang took the initiative to back down to meet her requirements. But this time, Shen Minghang did not back down. "Let me tell you, if you don't marry this time, you won't want to marry for the rest of your life!"
Shen Minghang was really angry this time.
"If you don't marry, you won't marry, it's a big deal, I'll go to the nunnery to be a sister-in-law!" After speaking, Shen Yan ran out angrily.
Yu Ren saw that Shen Yan was not going back to his yard, but running out. couldn't help but worry, "Do you want to chase her back?" It's so late now, I'm afraid it's not safe for my cousin to go out alone! ”
"It's okay, doesn't she still have two heeled rings! Let's ignore her. Her temperament is what I've been used to since I was a child. Since I was a child, I watched her mother die early, so I relied on her in everything. For her sake, I didn't dare to marry in a row, but only quietly married a small outside, and I didn't dare to let her know about it.
She didn't understand my difficulties as a father at all. This time, I have made up my mind about the marriage of the two of you. See what she can do! ”
"It's not good!" Yu Ren persuaded. "I see that Cousin Yan's temper is very strong, it would be bad if something really happened."
Shen Minghang patted Yu Ren on the shoulder. "Don't worry! From now on, Yan'er is my daughter, and you are my son-in-law. I will never favor her if there is something, you can rest assured. I'll take care of the two of you. I know your cousin's temperament. Although she sometimes occasionally does something out of the ordinary, she is generally aware of it, and she will never do anything that is too out of line. With this, you can rest assured.
She doesn't agree to the marriage of the two of you, just because she doesn't know you and is afraid that she will not be trusted. Now you're staying in our house. In the future, you will get along more together, and she will know you better. With your ability, Ren'er, I believe that it will be easy to win Yan'er's heart.
The most important thing for you right now is to have a good relationship with your cousin, and let's try to get this marriage done sooner. As for the taboo of the mourning period, you don't have to care. This is also your father's last wish, and we can be regarded as following his last wish, and it is not a taboo.
"But......" Yu Ren was still about to say something, but Shen Minghang had already patted him on the shoulder and got up and left.
Yu Ren hurriedly ate a few bites of food impatiently and went back to the room.
After that, Yu Ren didn't see Shen Yan for a few days. Yu Ren didn't care. It's just the quietness of the fall. During the day, he followed Shen Minghang to check the shops in various places of the Shen family, and then returned to his small courtyard to study at night, and his life was comfortable.
It's just that peaceful days are always short-lived. On the seventh day of Yu Ren's arrival at the Shen family, a major incident suddenly happened to the Shen family.
The fuse of the matter has to start with Shen Yan.
Shen Yan has not met with Yu Ren since she publicly refused to marry Yu Ren that night. However, as her father expected, she did not run away from home, but went out for a stroll every day with two personal rings.
On this day, Shen Minghang was sitting in the study with Yu Ren to take inventory, and a little girl ran into the study like a circle.
"Master, something is wrong!"
Shen Minghang was very calm, and he calmly put down the account book in his hand. "What's wrong? Don't you remember what I told you? Don't bother with anything while I'm taking inventory, have you forgotten? ”
The girl was even more panicked. "Jade hasn't forgotten. But, but Miss, Miss, she ......."
"What's wrong with Miss?" Suddenly hearing that something had happened to his daughter, Shen Minghang couldn't care about the rules anymore, and stood up from the chair all of a sudden. He has only such a child in his life, and Shen Yan is his lifeline, so how can he not be in a hurry.
"Miss, she, she ran away with a Mongolian trafficker!" Jade finally finished speaking.
"What!" Shen Minghang couldn't believe it, he didn't believe that his daughter could have such courage.
"Miss, she ran away with someone!" This time, Jade spoke more clearly.
Yu Ren, who was on the side, was also taken aback when he suddenly heard the news. Although Shen Yan has always been bold, this elopement is not something that ordinary people can do, not to mention that the other party is still a Mongolian, that is to say, a foreigner. The current era is different from the twenty-first century. In this era, the Han people have always regarded the Ming Dynasty as a powerful and wealthy central empire, and Jiangnan is the richest region of the Ming Dynasty.
It is really incomprehensible that Shen Yan, the daughter of a wealthy merchant in a rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, actually ran away with a Mongol from a poor place.
Seeing that Shen Minghang had been standing dumbly and did not speak, Yu Ren became a little worried.
"Uncle, you don't have to be too angry, and don't be in a hurry. Maybe my cousin deliberately scared you and played with you! Let's figure things out first, and then find a way to solve it. Yu Ren comforted on the side.
But Shen Minghang still didn't reflect at all.
"Uncle, uncle!" Yu Ren called softly twice, but Shen Minghang still didn't respond.
At this time, Jade, who was standing opposite them, suddenly shouted loudly. "Oh no, the master's mouth is crooked!"
