Chapter 373 Marriage Proposal 1
Shen Changshan has been in a good mood since yesterday afternoon. Shen Qian'an really wants to remind him, Dad, your precious daughter will be getting married soon.
But seeing how happy his father was, I thought, forget it, let him be happy for a few more days!
We found a restaurant to eat at, and after dinner we went to the pier to take a boat. An hour later we arrived in Qingxi County.
Because they didn't know when they would return, their family didn't send a carriage to pick them up, so they rented one themselves.
Shen Qi'an followed Shen Changshan into his parents' yard, and as soon as he entered, he saw his tall and mighty elder brother.
"Big brother."
Shen Jingyuan turned around and saw Shen Qian'an. He took a few steps forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Fourth brother has become much stronger."
Shen Qian'an bared his teeth. Big brother's strength was really not light at all.
"Not as good as big brother."
Shen Jingyuan came back to his senses and smiled embarrassedly. It was always like this when he was in the military camp. He was not used to coming back so suddenly.
"Is it not hurting you?"
Shen Qi'an shook his head, "No, brother, I'm not that fragile."
Shen Jingyuan nodded, "Okay, let's fight each other later."
"it is good."
Shen Changshan walked towards his wife and daughter, "Where's Zi'an? Why isn't he here?"
Lin Cuicui poured him a cup of tea and said softly, "Zi'an left for something. I guess he was busy because he was traveling so fast and had a lot of things to deal with. He said he would be back in two days."
Shen Changshan drank several cups of tea in a row, "Ali, do you think your fourth brother can enter the Imperial College?"
Shen Li looked at Shen Changshan, "Dad, don't think too much. Just do what A Yu says is okay."
However, there were some things in her heart that she didn't say. Her fourth brother was only a student now, and he might be looked down upon if he entered the Imperial College.
However, given Fourth Brother's temperament, he can handle it by himself, and he is good at martial arts, so few people will bully him.
The family chatted for a while and then went back. Shen Li followed Shen Qi'an and caught up with him only after he left his parents' yard.
"Fourth brother, you will enter the Imperial College..."
"Ali, you think that Fourth Brother is too fragile. I know there is no shortage of geniuses in the Imperial College. I went there to study. If I meet someone who is more capable than me, I will humbly ask for their advice."
"Fourth brother, I'm not worried about that. There are many children from aristocratic families in the Imperial College, and some of them are not easy to get along with."
"Ali, if we can make friends, then make friends. If we can't, forget it. I'm going there to study. I won't have a conflict with them unless it's absolutely necessary."
“Well, Fourth Brother, you can’t be bullied. Don’t forget that you will also be a person with a background when the time comes.”
He just nodded and said, "Ali is right. I was recommended by King Jingnan and I can't let others bully me, lest I tarnish his reputation."
Shen Li gave a thumbs up, "Fourth brother is aware."
Shen Qi'an looked around and saw that no one was following him, so he asked, "A-Li, tell me the truth, why are we all going to the capital?"
Shen Li didn't keep him in suspense and said directly, "There are two purposes. One is because of my eldest brother, and the other is that A Yu will ask for permission to marry on Halloween."
"Please grant me your marriage."
Shen Qian'an murmured these four words, and then thought to himself that it would be better to ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage, so that those who are too arrogant will not look down on Ah Li's status.
"fair enough."
Shen Li smiled and said, "Fourth brother, you don't have to worry. With those two new crops, I will get a lot of benefits from the emperor."
She had already made herself known to the emperor, not to mention the treasure map she had obtained from the Japanese pirates.
Although these things were not obtained by her, without her, Shen Li, it is not certain where the treasure map is now. Even if there are corn and potato seeds, they don't know how to plant them.
Unless you go out to sea again, it is not easy to go out to sea again. Sailing on the sea is dangerous, not to mention the rampant pirates. Once the weather at sea changes, there is no way back.
"Fourth brother, I will make a new dish for you to taste in two days."
Shen Li tried to plant the tomato seeds she had obtained before on the farm, but for some reason, they would not sprout. She also planted them in the yard herself, but they also would not sprout.
Later, it survived only after being planted in space. After being improved by the space, it was able to adapt to the soil outside.
I have already planted a batch of tomatoes on the farm and they are almost ripe. In a few days I will make some dishes with tomatoes for them to try.
“Are they seeds from overseas?”
"Well, there are quite a few in my yard. Brother Four can go and have a look when you have time."
"Then I'll go check it out some other day."
"Well, then Fourth Brother, you go read a book. I'll go back first."
"it is good."
Shen Li returned to the yard and was delighted to see the flowers and trees planted there. There was also a row of tomatoes in the corner of the yard, and the fruits had turned red.
Shen Li picked one, took out the handkerchief she carried with her and wiped the dust off it. She took a bite, and the sour and sweet taste instantly spread on her tongue. The tomato had a crunchy texture and didn't look very good, but it tasted good.
After eating one, Shen Li went to the study to practice calligraphy. As the saying goes, one can tell a person’s character by his handwriting. This was inevitable when she had to attend banquets in the future.
She has always been a strong-willed person and would never give others the opportunity to attack her.
She could now imagine how many people would target her as Princess Jingnan, who came from the countryside.
Pei Yu was a popular guy before he got married. Now that she has snatched this popular guy away, she will naturally feel even more like a thorn in her eyes.
But she is not afraid.
After the family had their meal and chatted for a while, they went back to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, Pei Yu rode on a tall horse, with eight carriages lined up in a row behind him. Big red flowers made of red silk were tied on the horses' heads, looking very festive.
When the villagers saw this, they all gathered together and pointed and talked.
"Where are we going?"
"Alas, this is not the point. Are you going to propose marriage?"
"Hiss, look at all these carriages, how much betrothal gifts can they carry?"
"This direction, could it be heading to the Shen family?"
No matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn't figure out which family, apart from the Shen family in the village committee, would have such a big show.
They used to laugh at the Shen family for being too picky, but now it seems that they were the ones who were blind.
"Go, have a look."
"Yes, let's go, let's go. When have we ever seen such a big scene in our village?"
"Did you see the young man in the lead? Tsk tsk, judging from his aura, he must be someone very important."
"Do you need to tell me that? Anyone with eyes can see it."
"Oh, okay, stop talking nonsense and leave."
A group of men, women, old and young followed the carriage in a mighty procession.
