Chapter 441 An unexpected surprise
Zhang Juexia looked at the snacks in the box and teased Li Yingyue with a smile, "These are the delicious treats that Mr. Shen gave you. Please don't give them to me again.
If Mr. Shen knew about this, he would be heartbroken."
Li Yingyue stamped her feet shyly. "Sister..., I came here to talk to you. If you continue like this, I'm leaving."
Li Yingyue said this and was about to turn around and walk out, but Zhang Juexia reached out and held her back, "Okay, okay, sit down quickly!"
Li Yingyue sat on the chair. She came to ask Zhang Juexia for advice. "Sister, what was the situation between you and your brother-in-law at that time?"
"Don't ask me about this. Your brother-in-law and I were completely clueless and we just had better luck in the end.
Did he write to you?"
"Um."
Li Yingyue lowered her eyes and nodded shyly.
"Then why are you still sitting here? Hurry up and write him a reply!"
Li Yingyue looked at Zhang Juexia awkwardly, "Isn't this bad?"
"Oh, what's wrong with that? You should get to know each other better before getting married!
You have this opportunity now, why not make good use of it.
There is no other way between your brother-in-law and me. If I had any other choice, I would also spend more time with him before getting married.
You are usually very efficient in doing business, but why are you dragging your feet now?"
Li Yingyue listened to the advice and said, "Then I'll go back and write him a letter."
Li Yingyue was about to leave when Zhang Juexia stopped her again, “To be honest, in the marriage that Old Lady Shen told you about, Shen Lingchuan has all the best qualities except for his poor family background.
With our abilities, family background can be completely ignored.
As long as Chen Lingchuan can pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, Yingyue, you will be an official wife in the future.
But there is one more thing. I don’t doubt that what Madam Shen said was false.
I just think we should go to their grocery store tomorrow and ask around to see what its reputation is like. I guess we can then guess what the owner's personality is like."
"Thank you for your reminder, sister. Actually, I have the same idea.
As for Shen Lingchuan's body, although his voice was still a little weak when he spoke today, it was much better than that day.
I still have some concerns. Madam Shen also said that his mother is not in good health.
So, I’m worried about him…”
"You have the right to worry. After all, this is your lifelong event and you can't be careless."
"Um."
Li Yingyue returned to her room and began to consider how to reply to Shen Lingchuan.
To be honest, she never thought that she would find a husband who was a juren. She just wanted to find a husband who shared the same ideals and understood her.
I don’t know how her parents will react when Shen Lingchuan goes to her house to propose marriage in a few days.
Thinking about it, Li Yingyue picked up her pen and wrote a reply to Chen Lingchuan, and prepared to send someone to deliver it to him early tomorrow morning.
Zhang Juexia also didn't expect that Li Yingyue's marriage would be settled so quickly.
This was also an unexpected surprise for them in Qingfeng City.
After being happy, Zhang Juexia thought of Li Yiran again, and wondered how she was doing.
Thinking of this, she picked up her pen and wrote a letter to Gao Xing, intending to send it to him tomorrow at the address Gao Xing gave her.
She also wrote a letter to Manager Yao and Li Xi, and planned to send it to the post station tomorrow.
After finishing her work, Zhang Juexia became interested again. Thinking that she had written letters to others, she decided to write a letter to Ye Beixiu as well.
She did it right away and picked up her pen to write down what had happened in the past few days.
Before I knew it, I had written three large sheets of paper.
Zhang Juexia's wrist was so painful from lifting it that he stopped writing.
She sealed the envelope with satisfaction, wondering if this guy would be happy or nervous after seeing the letter.
.
In the Shen's grocery store, Shen Lingchuan was talking with his mother Liu Yaqin.
Liu Yaqin leaned on the bed, her eyes never leaving Shen Lingchuan for a moment.
"In the final analysis, I am the one who is holding you back. After your father passed away, if I had been of some use and could have supported the family, my son wouldn't have to work so hard."
"Mom, what are you talking about? As long as you are here, this family will exist.
Please take good care of yourself. Your son will work hard to find you a daughter-in-law this year.
Next year, I will try my best to pass the imperial examination."
Liu Yaqin reached out and touched Shen Lingchuan's face. "Don't tire yourself out! Did the old lady say when she'll go to the girl's house to propose marriage?"
"The old lady said that we can set the date ourselves. Then Uncle Chen Yue and I will go to the Li family in Shunhe County to propose marriage."
Liu Yaqin struggled to get up, "Then let's quickly ask someone to find a good day recently!
A daughter of one family is sought after by hundreds of families, let alone a girl that the old lady has taken a fancy to. I am afraid that many families are interested in her!"
"Mom, I'll do it tomorrow."
"In the final analysis, it's because my mother's body is not good enough. If she were, she would be able to do all these things."
"Mother, I told you, you really don't need to blame yourself. The girl the old lady chose for me is very capable.
If she marries into our family, she will definitely be able to support this family with me.
Also, the old lady has asked Madam Hu, who is beside her, to help me with these matters."
"Chuan'er, we must remember the old lady's kindness."
"My son knows."
Liu Yaqin let Shen Lingchuan help her get out of bed, searched in the cabinet for a long time, and took out a jewelry box. She motioned Shen Lingchuan to open it.
Shen Lingchuan listened to her and opened the box.
“This bracelet can be considered a family heirloom.
Your grandmother gave it to me when your father and I got married.
I'm giving this to you now, and when you propose marriage, give it to Miss Li."
Shen Lingchuan thought for a moment and said, "Mother, since it was given to you by your grandmother, you should keep it first. It won't be too late to give it to her when she gets married."
"I'm not worried that if we go to the Li family to propose marriage and the gifts we bring are too shabby, people will think we look down on Miss Li."
After just a few words, Liu Yaqin couldn't hold on anymore, and Shen Lingchuan helped her to the bed again and waited for her to lie down.
Shen Lingchuan then told Liu Yaqin, “Mom, the girl I like has a broad vision and will not care about this matter.
Old Madam Shen also told her about our family situation.
This is the situation in our family. There is no need to put on airs for the sake of face.
We have shown sufficient sincerity, and your son is a successful candidate. The Li family cannot find any fault with this point."
"That'll do."
Shen Lingchuan comforted Liu Yaqin, waited for her to drink the medicine, and watched her fall asleep before leaving Liu Yaqin's bedroom.
The first thing he asked when he saw Chen Qi was, "Did the stuff get delivered?"
Chen Qi chuckled, "How could I be careless about what the young master ordered? I personally delivered the things to Miss Li."
"What did she say?"
