Chapter 654

Chapter 654

After wandering around the villa for a while, Princess Ren became a little tired, so Shen Wan found a pavilion to sit in. Seeing this, Qiu Ju hurriedly ordered someone to bring tea and snacks.

Princess Ren looked at the rockery and said, "This village is quite good. Not to mention, the scenery here is also good."

The landscape of this villa is also very well done. Although it is not gorgeous and rich, it is elegant. After entering this villa and looking at these scenery, my heart calms down.

Shen Wan smiled and said: "I also think this Zhuangzi is good, so I bought it."

"By the way," Princess Ren looked at Shen Wan and said, "Has your younger brother got engaged in his hometown?"

Princess Liufang drooped her eyelids and raised her ears nervously.

Shen Wan frowned and thought for a moment. She had never heard of Ming'er getting engaged in her hometown. However, Ming'er was only seventeen, so she probably hadn't gotten engaged yet.

Shen Wan shook her head, "Probably not." Suddenly, she saw Princess Liufang looking relieved after hearing her answer. Then she smiled and said, "Why, the princess wants to be a matchmaker for my brother?"

Princess Ruoren's matchmaker was Princess Liufang, and she believed that Ming'er would be very happy with it.

Princess Ren smiled and said: "I would be happy to be a matchmaker. In the past few days, many ladies have asked me if your brother is engaged, and asked me to help ask."

Because of Fang'er, others felt that she had some relationship with the Shen family and should know more about the Shen family's affairs, so they all came to ask her.

"Oh..." Shen Wan trailed off and nodded.

"Does Shen Zhuangyuan have someone he likes?" Princess Ren asked again.

Shen Wan glanced at Princess Liufang again, shook her head and said: "I haven't heard him say this, but he is still young, so this important matter of marriage should not be urgent."

Princess Ren said: "Yes, Shen Zhuangyuan is only seventeen, and he is indeed still young at this age. He is also a young talent, and now many unengaged ladies in the imperial city are staring at him!"

This Shen Zhuangyuan is not only young, but also a great talent. He is also very good-looking. How can these young ladies who have not yet left the court not fall in love with him? She also thinks that Shen Zhuangyuan is a good son-in-law, and this daughter’s family I would rather marry down than climb high, so that my husband's family can support him and not bully him. But this Shen Zhuangyuan is still too low for her family's beauty.

Shen Wan secretly thought in her heart: "Ming'er is quite a piece of cake now!"

"By the way, those who have won the imperial examination have to return to their hometown in fine clothes to worship their ancestors. When Shen Zhuangyuan returns to his hometown, will Mrs. Shen go back with her?" Princess Liufang looked at Shen Wan and asked.

According to the rules of the Dongchen Kingdom, those who are awarded Jinshi must return to their hometowns to worship their ancestors and express gratitude to their parents and neighbors. After the court assigns official positions, they will be given two months' leave to return to their hometowns in fine clothes to worship. Ancestors, and then take office.

However, except for those who are ranked first, second in the ranking, and third in the imperial examination, they have to wait for the imperial court to assign official positions, which may take a long time.

A top scholar like Shen Ming could enter the Hanlin Academy directly without waiting for an assignment. Therefore, he could return home as soon as the imperial appointment order came out.

Mrs. Shen has been in the imperial city for many years, and she may not have seen her parents for a long time, so Princess Liufang wondered if she would return home with Shen Ming because she missed her parents.

Shen Wan has not thought about this matter yet. She is determined to go back to meet the original owner's parents whom she has not seen for many years and show some filial piety. However, in her current situation, she may not be able to travel and travel.

Naturally, she couldn't say it clearly. She couldn't travel far now, so she said: "I would like to go back to my hometown to see my elders. There are two children at home. I'm afraid I can't go back with Ming'er."

Princess Ren smiled and said: "Actually, Shen Zhuangyuan will also serve in the Hanlin in the future. You are also in the imperial city. Why not bring the two elders to the imperial city?"

When Shen Wan heard this, she nodded with a smile and said, "This is possible. I'll talk to Ming'er and ask him to take the two elders over when he returns to his hometown."

Although the parents of the original owner were not poor in the countryside, they were not rich either. Moreover, in the future, Ming'er would become an official in the imperial city and could not return to his hometown. Without their children by his side, the parents were naturally lonely. It would be better to call Ming'er back to his hometown and take the two elders directly to the imperial city to enjoy their blessings.

In order to return to the city in time for Guancheng Gate, Princess Ren and the others left without staying for dinner.

During dinner that night, Shen Wan mentioned the idea of ​​bringing her parents to the imperial city, and Shen Ming also thought this idea was very good.

At the end of February, Song Ziling and Lu Wenzhi had a holiday at the academy. That afternoon, Shen Wan asked Lu Wenqin to pick them up in a carriage.

Song Ziling kindly invited Lin Chen and Lin Buyu to play at home with him, but they refused because they had arrangements.

It's not that Lin Chen and Lin Buyu don't want to go, but they think it's not good to go to their junior's house to eat and drink, and they don't want others to say that they cling to the powerful, although they especially want to have a good exchange with this new top scholar.

These days, posts inviting Shen Ming to poetry gatherings, tea parties, and flower viewing parties came to Izumo Villa like snowflakes. However, Shen Ming didn't go, only to the one hosted by Yun Qingyang and a few Qingyun Academy students. Poetry party.

Shen Wan also received a lot of posts about birthday parties and flower viewing parties, but she declined them all because of physical discomfort. Naturally, she also knew that there were so many posts inviting her to the banquet all because of the number one scholar in her family. Lang.
