This is an ancient setting, double male lead novel with a fictional backdrop, 1V1, and both protagonists are pure.
Due to a brawl between two villages, Shen Zhen accidentally met a young scho...
Brother Shen was almost thrown off the carriage by the force of his hand, so he quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll go knock on the door. Don't pull me, I'll get off the carriage by myself."
After hearing this, Chen Zhen released his hand from Brother Shen's arm, then stood by the car, waiting for Brother Shen to knock on the door.
After getting off the carriage, Brother Shen walked forward and knocked on the door. A 10-year-old boy dressed as a servant opened the door for him. After Brother Shen explained his purpose, the servant said to him, "Sir, please wait a moment."
Afterwards, the boy went to the courtyard where the teacher was giving lectures, and happened to meet a few students who had just finished their classes and were about to go to lunch.
The book boy called He Jinshu and said to him, "Student He, someone is looking for you outside."
He Jinshu heard this and asked in a cold and somewhat puzzled voice, "Who's looking for me?"
The servant replied, "I don't know his name. The young man claimed to be from the village next door to you and said he wanted to discuss something important with you."
Although He Jinshu was confused when he heard this, he still thanked the servant and walked out the door.
After opening the door, he saw Chen Chen standing outside. He Jinshu's face turned cold on the spot, and he turned around to close the door and return to the private school.
Chen Zhen quickly raised his hand to block the gate of the private school, and then said in a complaining and aggrieved tone: "Ah Shu, I have been looking for you for several blocks and finally found you. How can you be willing to turn me away?"
After hearing what Chen Chen said, He Jinshu paused for a moment as he was about to close the door. Then, he still held the gate tightly and said to Chen Chen with a cold face, "Let go."
Chen Chen selectively ignored He Jinshu's words, handed the lunch box to him, and said, "Ah Shu, I made lunch for you, take it and eat it."
He Jinshu didn't take the food box and stopped closing the door. He looked at Chen Chen with cold eyes and asked, "Are you leaving or not?"
Seeing that he was really getting angry, Chen Chen grabbed He Jinshu's hand and forcibly stuffed the lunch box into He Jinshu's arms. Then, as he ran outside, he said to He Jinshu, "Go back and eat. I'll bring you food tomorrow."
After saying that, he ran out of the alley, because just now in order to prevent Big Brother Shen from affecting his relationship with Ah Shu, Chen Chen asked Big Brother Shen to drive the carriage out of the alley.
He Jinshu held the food box that was forced into his arms, stood there in a daze for a while, and then closed the gate with an expressionless face.
There was a separate courtyard in the private school for dining, so He Jinshu walked towards the courtyard carrying his lunch box.
Seven students in the other courtyard were having lunch. A 15-year-old boy with a baby face saw him come in and called out to him, "Brother He, come over and have lunch."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the food box in He Jinshu's hand, and asked him curiously, "Brother He, did your family come to bring you food?"
When He Jinshu heard the words "family", he immediately denied it with a cold face: "No."
After he finished speaking, he realized that his tone was inappropriate, so he handed the food box to the baby-faced boy and said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Take it and eat it."
Li Yu didn't pay much attention to He Jinshu's attitude. After all, He Jinshu usually had a cold demeanor. He took the food box and asked curiously, "What's in it?"
He Jinshu didn't care what was in it. After Li Yu took the lunch box, he turned around and went to the kitchen to get food.
On the other side, Brother Shen, who returned home with Shen Zhen in a carriage, was pulled aside by Shen's mother as soon as he got off the carriage and asked about the situation of the meal delivery.
Big Brother Shen shook his head and said to Mother Shen, "Mom, I don't think this will work out. Even though our brother Zhen is too eager to get the job, that young scholar doesn't want to see our brother at all. He even lied to him about the place in the private school."
After hearing this, Mother Shen felt both relieved and worried. She was relieved that the matter did not succeed as she expected, but she was worried that Ting'er would become more and more courageous after such setbacks.
So she asked, "Then your brother won't go there tomorrow, right?"
Brother Shen said helplessly: "Mom, do you think it's possible? Brother Zhen said he will go again tomorrow."
After hearing this, Mother Shen felt a headache again, and then she said to Big Brother Shen: "Why don't you go and persuade that scholar? Let him marry our brother as soon as possible. If he has any request, he can directly ask for it, and we will try our best to satisfy him."
With the way Brother Zhen is working hard, this matter will succeed sooner or later. It doesn't matter if it succeeds sooner or later, so it's better to succeed sooner so that it will have less impact on their reputation.
When Brother Shen heard this, he immediately refused, "Mom, I won't go for this!"
He still holds a grudge against the young scholar for cheating on him today. Now if he is asked to persuade the scholar to marry his own brother, he will not do it. It would be best if the relationship between the two of them does not work out. He does not want his brother to marry someone who despises him.
After hearing this, Mother Shen said helplessly: "Then what do you say we should do about this? We can't just let Brother Zhen run to the town every day like this. If he doesn't care, will the reputation of the little scholar still be there?"
"Mom, I won't go anyway. It's best if this marriage doesn't go through. What's wrong with our brother Zhen? Why do we still ask him to marry me? He doesn't want to marry me, but I don't want brother Zhen to marry him!" Brother Shen said unconvinced.
After hearing this, Mother Shen glanced at Brother Shen and said slowly: “Now it’s not a matter of whether you are willing or not, it’s a matter of whether your brother wants to get married or not.”
When Big Brother Shen heard this, he thought of how Chen Zhen had chased him out of the alley today, and suddenly his heart sank. It seemed that his status as a big brother was now even lower than that little scholar. This realization immediately made him even more upset.
So he said angrily: "Then persuade Brother Zhen more, anyway, that young scholar is not good enough."
After hearing this, Mother Shen rolled her eyes at Brother Shen. Persuade? How else can she persuade? If she could persuade, why would she still be here to discuss this with Brother Shen?
Ever since Ting'er insisted on changing his name when he was just two years old, no one has been able to stop him from doing what he wants. So if you try to persuade him now, wouldn't that be a waste of time? You might as well try to persuade the young scholar to get married quickly.
In the end, the two of them couldn't come to a conclusion on this matter and could only let it go for the time being.
The next day, Chen Zhen went to the town again to deliver food to He Jinshu, but this time Brother Shen did not follow him. He went alone.
Watching the carriage depart, Mother Shen sat in the main hall and said helplessly to Old Man Shen who was sitting next to her: "Dad, what do you think we should do about this matter with Brother Zhen?"
Old Man Shen was silent for a while and then said, "Find a matchmaker when you have time to go to the young scholar and propose marriage. Let's try it first and see if it works out." There has to be a process first.
After hearing this, Mother Shen nodded and said okay, she could only try this way first.
To be honest, Mother Shen never thought of letting Shen Zhen marry into a family of scholars at the beginning. One reason was that she knew her son's personality, and the other was that families of scholars had many rules, and she was also worried that her son would be wronged.
Although Chen Chen would not let herself be wronged, after getting married, whether one's life is good or not is no longer decided by one person, so her original idea was to let Chen Chen find an honest man to live with.
But now, Brother Zhen has fallen in love with a scholar, and as his mother, she can only try her best to help him.
