Chang’an’s First Beauty

Chapter 141 Zhou Shuan x Shen Lao 4

The autumn wind is bleak, the trees are rustling, and the scattered yellow leaves are scattered on the bluestone road, layer upon layer.

Shen Wenqi put Zhou Shuan’s household registration record into his cuff, and walked out of Dali Temple, feeling quite complicated along the way.

After dinner, Shen Wenqi knocked on Shen Jiao’s door, “Xiao You.”

The door opened slowly, “Aye, something is looking for me?”

Shen Wenqi nodded, entered the room, sat down, and waved his hand at the maid beside him, “You go down first.”

Qingli took the lead and bowed back.

When the people in the room were gone, Shen Wenqi sighed and said: “I don’t know, you have so many things hidden in your heart.”

Shen Hao was startled and waited for him to continue.

Slowly, Shen Wenqi said: “Today, I went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice first, and then went to Dali Temple.”

Shen Wenqi stared at Shen Lao and said, “I said why you refused so simply, that’s how it is…”

Hearing this, Shen Hao’s eyebrows couldn’t help but jump.

Xindao: This is the most hateful thing about that man.

You say that what he said yesterday was all nonsense, but the evidence is here again. As long as you deliberately check it, it’s all right.

The extremely distressed gaze that Shen Hao met his father, suddenly gave birth to a sense of powerlessness.

Shen Wenqi pulled out the household registration record from the cuff and handed it to Shen Hao, “Let’s take a look.”

After Shen Hao opened it, he irresistibly tugged in his heart.

Li Di’s voice rang in his ears, “My daughter, can you check me?”

“Is her name He Wanru? Your cousin?”

“Yes, she is my wife.”

Some old things, like old wounds, are obviously painless or itchy, but once they are touched, they still remember the feeling of being stabbed.

Thinking of this, Shen Jia squeezed his share of household registration, and said in a trembled voice: “How about this too passively?”

“This time, Aye will find someone to check it out.” Shen Wenqi looked at Shen Hao’s frowning brows and whispered: “Sir, no one will force you. Aye sees that he has a deep affection for you. It’s…”

As soon as the word “Li Di” was about to blur out, Shen Wenqi swallowed the words in his mouth…

At that time, Shen Hao fell into the water, and it lasted only one night, and then all the people knew, the so-called literati and inkmen, and I didn’t know how many poems he wrote.

Li Di wandered around the gate of Yunyang Hou’s Mansion all day, watching his affectionately, but in Shen Wenqi’s eyes, it was tantamount to forcing him to marry a daughter. Comparing Zhou Shu’an’s sentence yesterday-“The younger generation knows that she is confined to the world’s eyes and various courtesy, and can’t bear to force her. After thinking about it again and again, they have to put the prepared bride price back in the warehouse.”

It’s no wonder that Shen Wenqi would say the words “with deep affection”.

Shen Wenqi pressed his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, “Sister, it’s easy to be in love with each other, it’s difficult for you to think about it, Aye will listen to you.”

After that, Shen Wenqi patted Shen Jia on the shoulder and walked out.

It’s hard to use love deeply, and it is difficult to rejoice between two emotions.

Shen Jia looked at the household registration on the table and came to the conclusion that only one conclusion was reached—her father really learned to climb to the post of the Ministry of Engineering.

Qingli saw her master holding her forehead and sighed, she couldn’t help but whispered: “This matter is for this reason, does the lady have a plan in her heart?”

Shen Hao turned his head to look at the Zhizhuang window.

She knew in her heart that Zhou Shuan had done this, just determined to marry her, but she…

Shen Hao stood up suddenly, and said, “Qingli, get your horse, and come with me.”

Qingli said: “Where is the lady going?”

Shen Lao said: “Go to Zhou Mansion.”

Rather than thinking about it and there is no result, it is better to be straightforward and make it clear.

Qingli opened her mouth in surprise, “Lady, is this going to come in person? This…this is not ceremonial.”

The corner of Shen Jia’s lips was barely heard, and he said, “I and him, there is no etiquette to talk about.”

Qingli did not hear clearly, and then said: “What did the lady say?”

Shen Lao said: “Nothing, let’s go.”

The autumn wind was violent, and soon it started to rain.

The carriage passed through the streets, the rain was getting heavier and stronger, the horseshoe stepped on the bluestone road, splashing a splash of water, and the coachman raised the rein and said: “Here.”

The plaque not far away was impressively written with the word Zhoufu.

Qingli placed the oil-paper umbrella across Shen Jia’s head, and whispered: “The slave and maid will knock on the door.”

Shen Yu gathered the hooded cloak on his body and said, “Let’s not go to the front door.”

The two went around in a circle and found the small door of the Zhou Mansion. Shen Hao raised his hand and knocked. After a long while, someone opened the door.

When Yu Guanjia saw that she was a woman, she couldn’t help but startled, “The lady is…”

“Shen Jiao, the daughter of Shen Wenqi, Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry, has something to see with Lord Zhou.

Butler Yu hurriedly turned to his side, “Lady, please come in.”

This lady, he did not dare to stop, after all, the locks in the Donghuayuan warehouse of Zhou Mansion were all betrothal gifts that were supposed to be sent to Shen Mansion.

Passing through the hanging corridor, Qingxi whispered: “This Zhou Mansion…how come there is no one but this butler?”

Shen Hao is also curious about this.

How could the house of the third-ranking member of the Korean Central Committee be so cold? The furnishings are succinct and simple, how come it rains that there is not even a maidservant who is sweeping?

After a while, they came to the door of the study.

Butler Yu turned around and said: “Lady wait a minute.”

Butler Yu walked in, whispered in a low voice, Zhou Shuan frowned, and said solemnly: “Really?”

“Naturally it is true.”

Zhou Shuan got up and pushed the door.

I saw that Shen Jia really appeared in his yard.

The raindrops hit the umbrella on her head, causing ripples.

Zhou Shuan was stunned and said, “Come in quickly.”

The door closed with a “creak”, Zhou Shuan looked at Shen Hao and whispered, “Why come here at this time?”

Shen Lao said: “I have something to say.”

Zhou Shuan subconsciously staggered her gaze.

Although he has countless ways to get her to marry, he doesn’t mind trying a few more times, but listening to her personal refusal still feels frustrated.

Zhou Shuan said solemnly: “Let’s talk about it.”

“Master Zhou wants to marry me. Is it a whim or a long-planned plan?”

Zhou Shuan’s eyes were open, and he directly responded to her words: “I have been planning for a long time.”

Seeing that he hadn’t been wiping around, Shen Hao’s sullenness eased a lot, and he said again: “Master Zhou has been around for a long time, but he has been without a wife and children. Do I know the reason?”

Zhou Shuan said: “My birth is not obvious, my grandfather has no shame, and my grandfather raised me alone. According to the law, there are no civilians with one or a half officials and must perform military service or military service. My grandfather doesn’t want me to dance with guns and clubs. , I have been telling me that excellence in learning leads to an official position. He has no official position and cannot start a family. Therefore, Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years.”

Shen Hao said again: “Master Zhou is a champion selected by a sage. Soon after entering the official position, he took the position of Dali Temple. The official position of the third grade is not enough to get a family?”

“Students, everyone wants to hold the purple ribbon and gold seal clothes, seal his wife’s shadow, and glorify the lintel.” Zhou Shuan said again: “I didn’t think about getting a family and starting a business. But this is Chang’an. If you grab one on the street, it’s all annoying. I’m so sorry, I must always know why it’s my turn to sit in that position.”

“I was assassinated seven times in the year I was appointed as Dali Temple Secretary. In addition, there were people who robbed and escaped from prison. If something was wrong, someone would come to the saint to take part in me. ”

Shen Hao’s eyes were startled.

She knew in her heart that Zhou Shuan would not be as easy as others.

Her heart trembled, then stopped again.

No matter what, she finally caught the word she wanted to hear-Feng Wife Yinzi.

“Thank you Lord Zhou for telling me sincerely.”

Zhou Shuan looked at her with eyebrows and waited for her to continue.

“The power in Master Zhou’s hands is no longer what it used to be, and it is just around the corner to seal his wife’s shadow.” Shen Hao took a sigh of relief and raised her eyes: “It’s just me, and I don’t have this blessing to be your wife.”

“Why?”

Shen Hao said word by word: “Although Li Di and I have long lost the relationship between husband and wife, but once, can be regarded as the love of husband and wife, Qin Se and Ming, I have always wanted a child, but I have not been pregnant.”

Shen Jia admitted that the eight words of husband and wife’s affection, qinse and ming, as well as the sentence of wanting a child, were all deliberate.

But this is her life, a life that cannot be changed.

She thought that these words today were enough to make Zhou Shuan give up.

Unexpectedly, that stalwart body took a step towards her.

He raised his arms around her and said softly, “It’s okay.”

Did not ask one more word.
