Shen Qingyi looked at the figure that had long since disappeared outside the window, dumbfounded.
Sure enough, men still know how to treat men...
This is a really good move.
Shen Qingyi carefully put the medicine bottle into his clothes.
Early the next morning.
Shen Qingyi went to greet Mrs. Shen as usual, but saw that the room was particularly lively. Except for the two younger ones, Shen Qingling and Shen Liunian, everyone was gathered in the room, each holding a stack of scrolls.
Not to mention Shen Yinian and his wife and Shen Jingnian, even Xu Wenzhao pretended to be holding a portrait and looking at it.
Shen Qingyi stepped forward and snatched the words from Xu Wenzhao's hand, her eyebrows trembling.
"I said, my sister is not here, why are you coming here to join in the fun?"
The old man Xu Wenzhao shook his forehead and said in a serious tone: "Third sister, what you said is wrong. Some of these portraits belong to several cousins in my family, but I finally asked them about it. My father asked me to come here to help you look at each other. What's wrong?"
The old lady laughed and said: "This is the eldest son of the Long family in Xi'an. He is best at doing business and is a very kind-hearted man. I heard that he would not even trample an ant to death. He will definitely be kind to our A-Yao."
Two hours later, except for Shen Lin who left because of going to court, the old lady, Mr. Wen, Mr. and Mrs. Shen Yinian, Shen Jingnian and Zhou Mengfu each held two or three portraits and piled them aside. on the table.
Yuan Wanning said: "This is indeed true. My second brother and I struggled for how long to save you last time."
The old lady nodded in agreement, and Shen Qingyi said: "Forget it, there are a mixed bag of people from the theater and the restaurant. If this is a marriage, I'm afraid they will have a concubine in the room within two days."
Shen Qingyi: "Drinking and hunting? Doesn't that mean you smell of alcohol? What if you have sex while drunk? Absolutely not, next one."
She pulled Yuan Wanning and Zhou Mengfu aside with a headache, and said: "I said, why are you following my second brother and their mischief? Although I don't want to marry the prince, the prince doesn't like me, and the queen has not married yet. Zhi, I don’t have hairpins, most of the young men from these aristocratic families are playboys, I have never even met them, how can I just marry myself off?"
"But let's choose a good-natured young man whom we are familiar with from all the families to ask His Majesty for an engagement. When the prince marries the concubine, we can find any excuse to cancel the marriage. Wouldn't everyone be happy?"
When the old lady heard this, she frowned, closed the portrait in her hand, and said: "Sanniang is right, no matter how good-looking the family is, easy to talk to, and good-tempered, if we Sanniang is not satisfied, we can still do whatever we want. It is indeed difficult to find a young master who has broken off an engagement - in this way, the ones you think are good will be placed with me, and it will not be too late for me and my daughter-in-law to take a closer look at them and decide on their nature."
Yuan Wanning said: "That's not what you said. A-Yao, think about it carefully. Although the prince has no intention of you, even if you want to return the bracelet and refuse the marriage, you will naturally be unable to do so. If you wait until you get married, the harem will make a decree." , I have granted you and the prince a marriage, and by then even if you want to break off the engagement, you will not be able to do so.
Yuan Wanning came forward holding a portrait and said: "Ayao, what do you think of this young master? I have known him since childhood. He is the son of General Jiang. He is known as Jade-faced Shura. He is eight feet tall and has great martial arts skills. You are handsome. Didn't you just say that you were afraid that your future husband would not be able to protect you? Look, he will definitely be able to protect you."
It just doesn’t work.
Shen Qingyi almost choked.
Shen Qingyi was not angry: "That's easy to say. Not to mention how much courage it takes to fight against the prince. Where can I find a young master who is familiar with me, has a good temper, and is willing to break off the engagement at will? I'm afraid the whole capital will be shocked." Can't find one."
As he spoke, he opened a portrait and said, "Sister Shen, take a look. I think this young master is quite good, and he can be considered a lucky man."
However, she also knew that she would not be able to stop everyone's enthusiasm, so she simply shut up and made up her mind to sit quietly and sip tea.
Shen Qingyi: "If you love the people as your own children, how many people will you offend... Brother, last time you were imprisoned because of Liu Muzhi's frame-up and almost couldn't be saved. If I get engaged to him, he will come out every once in a while. What's the matter, don't I want to be a widow for the rest of my life?"
Zhou Mengfu, who was on the side, pulled Shen Qingyi to her side and said, "I just met a few good ones with handsome and handsome features. I think they are worthy of you. Do you want to take a look?"
Everyone agreed one after another.
She glared at Shen Yinian, who scratched the back of his head and smiled innocently, then took the initiative to retreat.
Shen Yinian said: "This is my colleague in Yanqing Mansion. He is the governor of Tongzhou. His official position is not low. He is also a good official who loves the people as his son. He is known as Bao Gong of the world. Take a look, Third Sister, what do you think?"
Shen Qingyi: "Forget it, he is reluctant to trample ants to death. This person must be cowardly. If I am wronged in the future, he will probably advise me to swallow my anger. How can I marry such a person?"
Shen Qingyi raised her head in shock, and a pair of eyes appeared from the portrait, shocked: "No, you are really planning to help me find a husband..."
Wen unfolded a portrait and said: "This is the young master of the Du family. He is one of the best in a hundred. Like our A-Yao, he likes to watch operas and listen to music the most. The two of them will definitely get along well together." "
Shen Qingyi was curious: "Who is it?"
She said: "That's good, but Mr. Jiang is now twenty-four, and he has not yet gotten married. He may have a stubborn illness or a weird temperament. How can I marry him casually?"
Shen Qingyi said.
Shen Jingnian was full of confidence: "Ayao, this is my good brother who often rides horses and hunts with me. We have known each other since childhood. We have often drank and hunted together over the years. He is also cheerful and has a good temper. I want to come here to help him. I must be willing to help.”
Shen Qingyi glanced at it and became very angry. She picked up Xu Wenzhao by his collar and threw him out of the door. While throwing him, she said: "You brat, who told you that those who are lucky will have fat heads and big ears? You did it on purpose?" Are you trying to trick me? I will ask Mr. Xu to take you home tomorrow, and I will never let you stick to Qing Ling again!"
That's not what she meant at all...
As he spoke, he closed the door angrily.
Yuan Wanning had no choice but to give up.
She looked with a headache at the people in front of her who were immersed in the portraits. She picked up a few portraits, and there were two handsome young men on them.
The old lady thought so and gave up.
Yuan Wanning said: "Of course it is true. These portraits were obtained by the old lady and her wife from various wives."
Shen Qingyi: "..."
Zhou Mengfu mysteriously closed the portrait and stepped forward confidently. She smiled and said, "Three girls will definitely not reject this person."
Zhou Mengfu said with a smile: "You also know this person."
Then slowly unfold the scroll.
When Shen Qingyi saw the person in the painting, she immediately spit out a mouthful of tea.
