Early the next morning, the nanny hurried into the courtyard and applied medicine to Shen Wenchang who was lying on the bed.

"Twenty sticks, it is said that Miss Lu is not easy to mess with. You still don't believe it. If you had listened to my nanny, why would you have to suffer this crime. It means that you are in good health, otherwise you would not be disabled." Nagging while taking medicine.

Shen Wenchang closed his eyes as if he didn't hear.

The nanny sighed softly: "To propose marriage today, I don't think it will work. It's better to give up early. From now on, stay away from Miss Lu, and the world will be peaceful."

Shen Wenchang opened his eyes and said with a wry smile: "Nurse, can't you expect me to order well? Without Lu Qingyi, there are other young ladies. In my father's eyes, I am going to inherit the Shen family. Do you think he can stop me?" Is this the only way to get married?"

The nanny was stunned for a long time when she heard the words, and said anxiously: "Oh, what should I do?"

"Let's take one step at a time. If the marriage with the Lu family comes to fruition, everyone will be happy. If it doesn't, then it's fate. In the future, soldiers will come and cover it up." I still have some expectations in my heart, what if Lu Qingyi agrees.

The nanny finished applying the medicine, twirled three sticks of incense, went to the corner of the yard alone, knelt down facing south and lit the incense, whispering in her mouth.

Shen Wenchang dressed and limped into the front hall.

"With a dejected face, it can be foreseen that the marriage will not come true." Shen Zhongnan is a businessman, and he pays most attention to such things.

Shen Wenchang curled his lips, just sat down, and stood up again in pain.

"It's been said in advance that it doesn't matter whether the marriage proposal is successful or not. From now on, you can't cause trouble for me. I don't expect you to be glorious in your life. In two years of college, you will go to the shop to learn how to do business. In the future, we won’t be able to starve to death.” Shen Zhongnan also couldn’t sleep last night, with such a son, how could he not worry about this single seedling.

Shen Wenchang nodded in agreement, at the moment she didn't have the energy to bargain, the most important thing was to hurry up and propose a marriage.

"I don't think you're in the mood to eat, so let's go now." Shen Zhongnan stood up and walked outside.

Shen Wenchang turned around and followed behind his father with difficulty.

When he arrived at the yamen, Shen Zhongnan handed over the Geng Tie.

The servant took the Geng Tie and went to the hall, where the four members of Lu's family were eating.

"Master, Boss Shen, the owner of Yuexiang Company, please see me."

Lu Wenzheng was stunned for a while when he heard the words, took a look at the Geng Tie, he was not familiar with Shen Zhongnan, why did he come here?

Lu Qingyi's dishes with her chopsticks fell on the table, and now she was nervous when she heard the word'Shen'.

"I'll go to the meeting, you can continue to eat." Lu Wenzheng walked out of the front hall with the Geng Tie.

In the small hall next to the yamen lobby, Shen Zhongnan sat down and waited. Shen Wenchang stood behind Shen Zhongnan. Hearing footsteps, the two looked back and saw the imposing Master Lu walking in.

Shen Zhongnan quickly stood up, stepped forward and bowed, "Shen has met Mr. Lu."

Shen Wenchang was worried, and bowed to his father together: "Shen Wenchang has met Mr. Lu."

"You two don't need to be polite, please sit down, please sit down." Lu Wenzheng walked to the main seat alone and sat down, "You two are asking to see me, what are you talking about?"

Shen Zhongnan was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, he took a look at his incompetent son, and stepped forward and said: "In front of your lord, Shen has said straight to the point, this time, he wants to take the place of the dog... "Shen Zhongnan paused, he didn't know that he was humiliating himself, "Shen wanted to ask for the daughter of Mr. Lu's family for the dog."

Lu Wenzheng was putting down the teacup, his face was a bit displeased, this was his only attitude towards the suitors in recent years, but then, thinking of his wife's complaint in his ear last night, he sighed slightly, his daughter Yes, it's a fact, if he stays again, he might be delayed.

Lu Wenzheng suppressed the reluctance in his heart, and looked up at the young man standing behind Master Shen, who looked familiar no matter how he looked.

"This young man, where did I meet him?"

When Shen Wenchang heard the words, he bowed quickly and said, "I once saw you at the foot of the Huazhong Academy mountain, and that was when bandits were making trouble."

"Oh, oh, oh, I remembered, I remembered, the young man is brave." Lu Wenzheng nodded, looked at Shen Zhongnan and said with a smile, "Master Shen gave birth to a good son, both civil and military, a pillar of the country."

Shen Zhongnan was ready to listen to Mr. Lu's sarcastic words, but unexpectedly he heard the compliment, and looked up blankly. Did Mr. Lu recognize the wrong person?How did you receive these compliments?

"My lord, praise, praise." Shen Zhongnan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Lu Wenzheng was stroking his beard and looking at Shen Wenchang. He still didn't want to make an early decision on his daughter's marriage.

"Your son is studying at Huazhong Academy, so I don't know if he has a reputation?"

Shen Zhongnan said in embarrassment when he heard the words: "I have no fame, but now I am white."

"Oh, oh." Seeing that Shen Wenchang was young, Lu Wenzheng thought it was because he hadn't had time to go to Beijing for the scientific examination. When he remembered that his daughter was teaching in Huazhong Academy, he was shocked. Could it be that this kid had seen Huiban's true appearance in the academy, so he proposed marriage Ask to marry?

"You two can just wait a while, and I will come as soon as I go." Lu Wenzheng got up and left.

"Father." Shen Wenchang was a little excited, "Lord Lu didn't say that the child is wishful thinking, he thinks he is a good elder who is reasonable and treats everyone equally."

Shen Zhongnan glanced at his son, and sighed: "That's Mr. Lu's thoughts. He saw that you know martial arts, and thought you were studying in an academy, so you are said to be both civil and martial, but are you?"

"Even if it's not, it's still possible to marry you a good daughter-in-law." Shen Wenchang was not happy, as this father would only hit her hard.

Shen Zhongnan still felt wishful thinking in his heart, sat down and said: "Just wait for Master Lu to come back."

"Father, I think Mr. Lu is going to ask Miss Lu what she means. I'm 20% sure. If it does, dad will give me [-] taels of silver, so I can go play somewhere else?"

"Stinky boy, you're [-]% sure that you haven't written your horoscope yet? You really don't know how high the sky is." Shen Zhongnan had a headache, and he really didn't know where his son's confidence came from.

On the other side, Lu Wenzheng hurried back to the front hall, sat down and looked at his daughter and said, "Hui Ban, I'm asking you for someone for my father."

Lu Qingyi panicked, but she didn't show it on her face, and continued to pick vegetables.

"Who does Dad want to ask?"

"You are in the academy, do you know Shen Wenchang?" Lu Wenzheng asked straight to the point.

Lu Qingyi was already prepared, but she was shocked when she was really guessed. This man really pushed her so hard, and he told her to give her time to think about it, how can a lifelong decision be made hastily.

"I know." Lu Qingyi said weakly.

"Sure enough, I know him, does he..." Lu Wenzheng was about to ask his daughter if his face had been peeked at, but after thinking about it, he asked again: "Father, I won't hide it from you, his father brought him here today to propose marriage. "

Mrs. Lu looked at the father and daughter in shock when she heard the words, and quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks: "Master, how is the other party?"

"Ma'am, I just met him for the first time, and I can't tell much. Since Huiban knows him, he must know something about his knowledge and character. Although it is better to be in a good family, it is not a bad thing to be lower. At least I am here, no matter what. How can I not bully Huiban."

Lu Qingyi's ears were slightly red, and she blushed even more when she saw her parents and younger brother looking at her together.

"Daddy, did you agree just now?"

"Where, as a father, you are only a daughter. It is a life-long event, so it is natural to be cautious. How can you agree to it when you have a chance?" Lu Wenzheng waved his hand.

Lu Qingyi's heart tightened: "Is that a rejection?"

"Where, the father of the younger generation has seen it before. He is talented in both civil and military affairs. If the father refuses on the spot, he is afraid of missing a good son-in-law."

Lu Qingyi was startled when she heard the words, but then she realized that the man was hiding his talent from her. To be honest, he is not a fake in both civil and military affairs. To be able to do this, a woman must have worked hard behind her back.

"Hui Ban, you should tell mother quickly, Shen..." Mrs. Lu got stuck at this point, and looked at her master, "Master, what is the name of the young man who proposes marriage?"

"Shen Wenchang." Lu Wenzheng looked at his daughter, not wanting to let go of any clues on her face.

"That's right, Hui Ban, how about telling Mother about this man's talents?"

Lu Qingyi thought about the classroom scene that day and said, "It's also a matter of eloquence."

Mrs. Lu was overjoyed when she heard the words, and asked again: "Then, how is your character?"

Lu Qingyi rested her chin and thought about someone's fearlessness in the face of danger that day, and said, "Being brave in the face of righteousness is easy to fight against injustice, and it is also considered a valuable character."

"Oh~" Mrs. Lu was overjoyed, "I just heard that they are engaged in business, right? The family is still well-off? This family is a bit lower, so money is a must. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a hard life to marry?"

Lu Wenzheng heard the words and said: "I have checked the tax books since I took office. This Yuexiang firm is one of the first in Nantong. It doesn't matter if you have more or less money. Once you marry the wrong man, your life will be ruined."

Lu Qingyi was quite moved when she heard what her father said, but she couldn't make a decision at this time.

"Father, my daughter can't predict whether the sons of the Shen family will be the same before or after. In order to prevent my daughter from marrying by mistake, Daddy..."

Lu Wenzheng heard his daughter's words and interrupted: "Go and refuse?"

"No, I neither agree nor refuse. I just shirk and say that I will wait until my daughter's birthday to choose a son-in-law for engagement." Lu Qingyi said with reddened ears.

Mrs. Lu was very satisfied with this solution.

"Master, what Huiban said is reasonable, so we will have time to investigate."

Lu Wenzheng looked at his daughter, and sighed softly, neither refusing nor agreeing, her daughter clearly had intentions in her heart, it seemed that he had to pay more attention to this kid.

Lu Wenzheng wanted to stop, got up and left, and went to the small hall of the yamen.

Shen Wenchang's whole heart was in his throat, and his eyes were fixed on his future father-in-law.

Shen Zhongnan was really ready to be rejected, so he stepped forward to bow to him.

Lu Wenzheng hurriedly helped Shen Zhongnan up, maybe he will marry the master someday.

"Master Shen, sit down." Lu Wenzheng did not take the first seat at this time, but sat next to Shen Zhongnan, "Master Shen, regarding the marriage of the two juniors, Lu will not agree today."

Shen Wenchang's face changed when he heard the words, and Lu Qingyi refused?Is she really ruthless?

"Of course, Lu is not refusing." Lu Wenzheng finished speaking and glanced at Shen Wenchang, "Your son's character is precious and commendable, but what my wife means is that we wait until our daughter's birthday in June next year to choose a son-in-law. If the Shen family intends to marry Lu How about getting married at home and coming back next year?"

Shen Zhongnan didn't expect this situation, although he didn't agree to it, but what he said was clear, and it wasn't a rejection. Could it be that this kid is really blessed?

"Since it's Madam Madam's intention, Shen naturally has no objection." Shen Zhongnan smiled, he didn't think Mr. Lu was perfunctory, after all, it's not so necessary to be an official of a government.

While Shen Wenchang was disappointed, she felt a little fortunate at the same time. She felt that this was what Lu Qingyi meant, and she didn't refuse or agree. She must have not made up her mind yet, and she will make an appointment with Yiyi in a few days before looking for news.
