Chapter 4 Proposal

Mrs. Jiang said this, which made Shen Zhongan hesitate.

He has lived in the border area for a long time and has not stayed in Shengjing for a long time, but he has heard a little bit about some things in the capital.

Jiang Lianzhi has just reached the age of weak, and he has already reached the position of minister of the Ministry of Etiquette. His future is limitless. If his mentor had not been involved in a corruption case last year, and he was also implicated, I am afraid that the speed of promotion would have been astonishing. It dropped the jaws of everyone in the capital.

He didn't care much about his official position, but he and Jiang Lianzhi were officials in the same dynasty and had met him several times. Jiang Lianzhi was very talented, humble and courteous in his dealings with others, and he was a good young man.

Shen Zhongan thought that it was not a grievance for Jiang Lian to be matched with his grandma.

Seeing that Shen Zhongan still had doubts, Mrs. Jiang smiled slightly and said with dignity, "I am from a womanly family. Although I am not a general, I have the same concerns as a parent. My father also said that if it is a boy, I hope he can be well-educated. The military can protect the country, but the girl just hopes that she will be safe and go well. "

Shen Zhongan felt sad for a moment. His late wife had said similar words to him before she was alive.

There was silence in the hall for a moment.

Shen Yu could tell from Shen Zhongan's expression that he was a little relieved.

She held the window and thought, she must not follow the same path in her previous life. Instead of marrying Jiang Lianzhi and becoming a couple and then dying in Jiang Mansion, it would be better to live alone all her life.

Without Jiang Lianzhi, her father would definitely find someone else for her. She had more important things to do now, and she had no interest in getting married. She had to find a way to completely dispel her father's thoughts.

Seeing that the matter was half done, Mrs. Jiang felt happy and was ready to add more fuel to the fire.

It's not that she likes Shen Yu very much. It's just that Master Lin was beheaded and all the male and female family members over six years old were exiled. Lin Qingli was also among them. This was two years ago, but now Jiang Lianzhi Now that I'm over 20, every time I mention marriage, I sternly refuse.

She was afraid that Jiang Lianzhi's heart was tied to Lin Qingli. Just when she was panicking with worry, Jiang Lianzhi offered to marry Miss Shen. Although she was not a perfect candidate for her daughter-in-law, she was better than her. Nothing is better.

Moreover, General Shen is at the height of his power now, and it is said that his son Shen Zhao will want Princess Shang in the future.

In terms of family background, they are pretty evenly matched.

"I think it's better to just settle it like this?" Mrs. Jiang said.

Shen Zhongan was hesitant, and just about to speak, Shen Zhao, who was silent for a long time, answered: "Father, I think it is better to ask Ayu what she wants before talking about it."

Shen Zhongan had a headache when he thought about his daughter. If the decision was made without saying a word, the family would be in a state of uproar due to her.

"The marriage should be done according to the orders of the parents and the matchmaker," Mrs. Jiang smiled, looking confident, "but it doesn't hurt to ask. Why don't the general call Miss Shen out so that I can meet her too."

There were many girls in the capital who wanted to marry Jiang Lianzhi, and even Shen Yu would not refuse.

Shen Zhongan thought this was feasible and said solemnly: "It's just that my daughter has been in poor health these past few days and she still has a fever at noon. I'm afraid..."

"father."

A clear voice suddenly came from the door.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

As soon as they met, Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment.

The woman at the door was wearing a long green skirt, with densely embroidered dark patterns of flowing clouds on the skirt, and a simple white jade hairpin on her head. It did not look simple, but made her face more beautiful. .

Shen Yu left Beijing when she was young and seldom appeared in the capital. When she came back occasionally, those delicate ladies couldn't hang out with her. The ladies in the capital all said in their chats that she was as good-looking as she was, and she spent all her time in the army. She is a woman with vulgar behavior. She never thought that her appearance would be so outstanding. Even in the capital, I am afraid there would be no noble lady who could surpass her.

No wonder, Mrs. Jiang thought, no wonder Jiang Lianzhi went out two days ago and when he came back, he urged her to come to propose marriage.

"Dad, big brother." Shen Yu called again

"Aren't you complaining that you have a headache?" Shen Zhongan smiled and waved to her, and introduced to Mrs. Jiang, "This is my little girl Shen Yu."

Shen Yu stood at the door and glanced at Mrs. Jiang, "Hello, madam."

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Jiang looked Shen Yu up and down, the more she looked, the happier she became.

Jiang Lianzhi was born well, and with the addition of Shen Yu, the children born from the two of them would look good.

"Mrs. Jiang and I were just talking about your marriage." Shen Zhongan said.

Shen Yu nodded and took two steps in. The expression on Mrs. Jiang's face froze. She trembled her fingers and said, "This, this, this, this..."

Shen Yu limped closer and said innocently: "The root cause of the disease that fell on the battlefield is that I am lame in one leg."

Shen Zhongan's beard trembled: "Hu——"

Before the word "nao" came out, his sleeve was pulled by Shen Zhao beside him. Shen Zhao suppressed a smile on his face and shook his head at Shen Zhongan.

Mrs. Jiang was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She thought that she was lucky that she didn't decide directly. This lame leg would be taken away and thrown away in the future, but it was her Jiang family.

No wonder Shen Zhongan doesn't let people come out to meet guests. It turns out that he is lame.

Shen Yu deliberately walked up to Mrs. Jiang with a limp so that she could see more clearly, "I walk slowly. I just happened to hear Madam and my father mention my marriage outside. I can give the answer now."

Mrs. Jiang said quickly: "It's true, I'm not in a hurry."

She pinched the handkerchief in her hand, with an awkward smile on her face, "I heard that General Shen is not willing to let you get married so early, and I can understand it."

"Madam, you must not listen to your father," Shen Yu walked over, hooked her arm around Madam Jiang's, and said affectionately, "My father wants to keep me at home and take care of me. I'm already seventeen, and Mr. Jiang is three years older than me. I think it's just right."

Madam Jiang thought, what's good about it! This dead cripple is too eager to get married!

All the young ladies in Beijing are shy when they mention marriage. Now Shen Yu is like this, she is simply a reckless man, no, a reckless woman!

It's a waste of such a beautiful face. The wind and sand at the border really can't raise a decent noble lady. She is even worse than the girl from a small family.

Madam Jiang smiled and pulled her hand back, but Shen Yu was too strong, so she couldn't pull it out, and was pulled painfully instead.

Madam Jiang took the opportunity to pat her hand on the back of her hand, laughed dryly and said: "General Shen is always at the border, and I am afraid that he can't spend much time with his father. Naturally, I don't want you to stay for a few more years."

Shen Yu blinked, "No, I am also often at the border, and I see my father every day."

Directly blocked Madam Jiang's reason.

Madam Jiang looked at Shen Zhongan awkwardly, but the latter nodded in agreement in a strange way.

Shen Zhongan has been in the business for many years. If he can't even see Madam Jiang's thoughts, then he has lived in vain.

Shen Yu's move can test Madam Jiang's attitude, but pretending to be a cripple is too much. If it gets out in the future, everyone in Kyoto will think that his daughter, Shen Zhongan, is a cripple, then who will dare to propose marriage in the future.

He didn't know that Shen Yu was thinking this way.

I met a bad person in my previous life, so it's best not to marry in this life.
