After Chen Zhen returned home, everyone in the Shen family asked him if he had gone to see the young scholar off.

Chen Chen nodded proudly and said, "Yes, Ah Shu has a good temper and listens to me. He even asked me to go to the town to bring him food when I am free! I think it won't be long before our two families can discuss the marriage."

After hearing this, everyone in the Shen family looked at each other. Could things really go so smoothly? Wasn't this all just wishful thinking on the part of Brother Zhen?

So Mother Shen whispered to Big Brother Shen: "Boss, when you have time, go with Brother Zhen to see what's going on."

She always felt that what Brother Zhen said was unreliable, so it would be more reassuring to go and take a look.

After listening to what Mother Shen said, Brother Shen nodded to indicate that he understood. Given Brother Zhen's style of doing things, he really had to go and see it to feel at ease.

Shen Da Ge's son, Shen Fang, asked curiously, "Third Uncle, are we going to have a third uncle?"

Chen Zhen nodded as if it was a matter of course and said, "Yes, your third uncle is very handsome and good at studying. He passed the imperial examination at the age of 16. Don't you think he is amazing?"

"Wow, Third Uncle is so awesome." Chen Fang clapped his hands and said loudly.

None of the Shen family members were good at studying. Although the family was rich and could afford to send their children to school, the eldest and second brothers Shen went to school. After studying for several years, they only learned a few words and did not get any academic honors. Later, they simply stopped going to school and stayed at home to take care of the village business.

As for Chen Zhen, he had no interest in reading and could not even recognize a single large character. However, he had an extraordinary ability in calculation. What would take others half a day to calculate using an abacus, he could do in his head after just one look.
