Chapter 2 The Xiao Family's Marriage Contract

Shen Li had lunch with his mother, aunt, and two cousins at home, and then found his mother alone and asked what happened to the Xiao family today. "Son, the Xiao family wants to recruit you as a son-in-law, why they recruited you remains to be discussed." Mother Shen said happily. "Mother, I am the grandson of our Shen family, our Shen family has a lot of wealth and thousands of acres of fertile land, won't let me get rich, right?" Shen Li's expression was exaggerated, and he was very surprised. "Silly boy, have you heard of the Xiao family of the Vermilion Bird Empire?" . "I know that the Vermilion Bird Empire is located in the southeast of our Chuyun Empire, rich and powerful, and many of our family's high-grade fabrics such as silk and satin are purchased from the Suzaku Empire." "The Xiao family is one of the four major families of the Vermilion Bird Empire, and this one who came this time is also an important figure in the Xiao family. Son, mother is reluctant to let you go to the Suzaku Empire, you still have to ask your father or your grandfather what is going on, and it doesn't have to be a big deal. Mother Shen said earnestly.

"Okay, mother, my son will go back to the house first."

"Don't forget to take your medicine." Mother Shen advised.

"Uh......"

Back in his room, Shen Li felt as if there were 10,000 alpacas galloping in his heart. "This is an arranged marriage, a feudal society of all evils!"

The Xiao family did not live in the Shen family, and the city lord of Wancheng seemed to have an old relationship with the Xiao family, and he received another reception for the Xiao family in the evening.

On the second day, the Xiao family set off to return to the Vermilion Bird Empire, and the city lord personally sent them off, as well as many wealthy merchants and celebrities in Wancheng.

After sending the Xiao family away, Shen Kuo, the head of the Shen family, Shen Wande, Shen Wancai and other members of the Shen family held another meeting, and everyone expressed their very approval of this family affair, and agreed that the Shen family can marry the Xiao family, which is equivalent to the Shen family climbing a big tree, which is the blessing of the Shen family.

Although the Xiao family did not directly propose to let Shen Li join the family, it was just a tactful thing that he said at the wine table yesterday, everyone understands people, because the Xiao family is too strong, everyone in the Shen family finally came to a conclusion and decided to let Shen Li join the family.

"Son, I didn't ask you what you thought about this matter, and I feel guilty for my father, but the matter has come to this point, for the sake of the family, I have wronged you, and I am reluctant to give up my father for your child." Shen Wande said with tears on Shen Li's shoulder.

"Father, I have only one question to ask."

"Ask!"

"How does this Miss Xiao family look? Is it beautiful or ugly? Is it tall or short? Is it fat or thin? DID YOU KNOW? Shen Li asked.

"Well, well, my father has never seen the girl of the Xiao family. However, in a famous family like the Xiao family, the younger daughters must be knowledgeable and gentle, and their looks can't be wrong, you can rest assured. Shen Wande said firmly.

"Alright, Dad, don't do this or that, you don't know much. I went back. Shen Li thought to himself, what is the difference between this and opening a blind box.

"This kid, so superficial, what, take medicine on time."

"Got it."

Shen Li found his grandfather Shen Kuo again.

Shen Kuo is enjoying the afternoon sun on a bamboo lounger.

"Grandpa, Li'er has something I want to ask you." Shen Li said respectfully.

Shen Kuo sat up, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. "What are you two polite, I have something to say."

"Grandpa, as far as I know, the Xiao family is one of the four major families in the Vermilion Bird Empire, and its reputation is outstanding, how did our Shen family climb into such a famous family as the Xiao family?"

"Their Xiao family is mixing well, and our family is indeed high. They have a son-in-law of the Xiao family and your third uncle are brothers in Qingyunmen, your third uncle saved the life of this Xiao family, this person and your third uncle became brothers with different surnames, and proposed to let the two families get married, your third uncle wrote to me to inform him of this, I wrote back to him and said that your eldest brother's male Ding Shen Li has just turned sixteen this year, full of poetry and books, and has not yet married. Your third uncle wrote back to me and said that the Xiao family would come to visit in the near future to discuss the marriage, and then it didn't take long for their Xiao family to come to the door. ”

"Then grandpa, the third uncle's letter can say that the two families are married, and I must be made a son-in-law?" Shen Li asked.

"Your third uncle didn't say it, I took the initiative to raise the matter of my son-in-law to the Xiao family."

"Huh? Grandpa, why is that? The grandson is a little reluctant to get involved. Shen Li was confused, after all, it was not a glorious thing to be a son-in-law in his previous life. "Li'er, the Vermilion Bird Empire is strong and strong, and there is the support of the Qingyun Gate of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, it is the most powerful country in the Eastern Regions, grandson, you have great talents, you can rely on the big tree of the Xiao family, the future is limitless, you have to get out of a small country like Chuyun, increase your knowledge and knowledge, and when you become famous and have the ability, you must benefit the people as much as possible and have fewer wars.

"The grandson has been taught, and the good man is ambitious in all directions, if he can display his ambitions and benefit the people, why not endure humiliation!" Shen Li said firmly.

"Good boy, grandpa didn't misunderstand you, just look at you since you were a child!"

Shen Li's second uncle, Shen Wancai, who overheard the conversation between the two outside the wall, thought to himself: "Jiang is still old and spicy, the old man is full of morality on the surface, but in fact, it is all business behind it, let's tie up with the Xiao family, not to obtain the supply channels and resources of the Xiao family, to further monopolize the high-end fabric market of the Chuyun Empire, and even to say the word of benefiting the people, so we can deceive the young people." ”

Shen Li returned to his room and thought to himself: "I have the memory of the advanced technology in my previous life, and I really lack a platform to display it, Chuyun is a small country with limited strength, and it is not a good thing for me to go to the Vermilion Bird Empire to achieve a career." ”

Shen Li has nothing to do in recent days, reading books, yo-yo bending, running, exercising, life is chic and comfortable, one afternoon, Shen Li walked to the door of a house called "Tangmen Martial Arts Hall", Cheng thought that he was also a martial arts lover in his previous life, so he went in to have a look, planning to see the martial arts of this world.

When I entered the door of the martial arts hall, I saw five teenagers who were training in the courtyard of the martial arts hall, two of them were doing squats with barbells, and three of them were beating wooden stakes.

"Childe, hello, are you going to report to our Tangmen Martial Arts Gym class?" A middle-aged strong man walked out of the house and greeted Shen Li warmly.

"Oh, hello uncle, I'll find out." Shen Li should arrive.

"Recently, I have been engaged in activities, and the discounts are very large, and the education package will be guaranteed." As he spoke, Zhuang Khan took out a registration guide for the Tangmen Martial Arts Hall and handed it to Shen Li with both hands.

"Now there are fewer and fewer young people practicing martial arts, and they all dream of worshipping the sect of cultivating immortals and becoming immortal cultivators, but there is no one in ten thousand who can cultivate the roots of immortals. Childe can first apply for our basic class to try, and then apply for the advanced class if you feel that you have practiced well, and the students who have studied in our martial arts hall for one year are eligible to participate in the martial arts level exam. The strong man introduced.

"Oh? Yes, then I'll sign up for a basic class first. ”
