Shen Guan hugged the arm of Shen Daxueshi in shame and anger, "Dad, please stop trying to match people up with other girls. Young Master Yu is already engaged in the countryside, and I don't like him like this."
Grand Scholar Shen looked at his daughter lovingly, "Wanwan, are you embarrassed? Although Zhanxing is from a poor family, if he passes the imperial examination one day, there will be many people who want to marry him."
"No, Dad, please stop talking nonsense." Shen Guan leaned against the arm of Shen Daxueshi and said softly, "You don't know that during the provincial examination, Yan Jie'er was very fond of Master Yu. Uncle Yang once tried to test Master Yu's attitude, but Master Yu refused at that time and said that his family had already arranged a marriage."
Shen Jinchun was surprised for a moment after hearing this, "There is such a thing? Why have I never heard you mention it before?"
Chen Wan explained softly, "These are all private matters of the girls. Aunt Yang has been asking mother to find a marriage for Yan Jie'er in Beijing. However, Yan Jie'er is very fond of Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu is very affectionate and loyal to the marriage arranged by the family. He treats Yan Jie'er very coldly. Please don't mention this matter in front of outsiders."
Shen Jinchun nodded, "Although I have known Zhan Xing for a short time, I can tell a person's character from his writings. He hates evil and has a pure heart. He is definitely not the kind of person who would abandon his wife in the countryside just to curry favor with the powerful."
Shen Wan smiled and said, "I mentioned his sister, Doctor Yu, to you earlier. She is also a very interesting person. I have never seen a woman in Kyoto with such a free and easy view."
Some time ago, Chen Guan happened to meet Yu Qizhe on the street. She never expected that Yu Qizhe would take the initiative to talk to her. After all, the embarrassment of being rejected when she visited Yan Jie'er not long ago was still vivid in her mind.
Although Chen Guan didn't want to have anything to do with Yu Qizhe anymore because of Yan Jie'er, he still agreed after knowing that Yu Qizhe could not go to Shanshuiju to listen to Shanshui Jushi's lectures due to some changes and wanted his father to help guide his articles.
After all, it was Doctor Yu who saved cousin Xueyan's life, and Chen Guan still remembered this favor in her heart. What Yu Qizhe mentioned was just a piece of cake for her.
Later, his father was very impressed after reading the articles he wrote. During these days, Yu Qizhe often went to the Shen family's house to ask his father for advice on writing articles.
"Those born in a poor family may not be inferior to those born in a wealthy family." Grand Scholar Shen sighed.
At this time, Mrs. Shen entered the room and said with a smile, "Wanwan, I asked you to call your daddy, but you two father and daughter are so good, don't forget the business while chatting."
Chen Guan stuck out her tongue and smiled coquettishly, "It's all Daddy's fault for pulling me aside to talk. For a moment I forgot that I was here to call him to go to Elder Liu's house."
Shen Jinchun smiled and said, "It's okay, the teacher won't be offended."
The servant behind Madam Shen held a brocade box in her hand. Madam Shen said, "Even if you don't mind, we can't be rude. I have prepared the gifts. I think Mr. Liu loves his daughter very much. Let's not delay the time."
Shen Jinchun nodded. Normally, the teacher would not even celebrate her own birthday in a big way, but this time she made such a big fuss to find her daughter who was lost many years ago. He must have loved and cherished the girl very much.
Several people took the gifts and left the house and got on the carriage to the Liu family residence in Zanmao Hutong.
-
After Yu Qizhe left the Shen Mansion, he asked Liuzi to drive back to Kanjing Hutong. When Liuzi saw him coming out of the Shen House, the gentle smile on his face disappeared and his expression became a little cold.
He had been serving Yu Qizhe for some time. Although he was a servant assigned by the Mu family, he had already regarded Yu Qizhe as his master after spending so much time with him. He couldn't help but ask with concern, "Did the young master encounter anything unhappy?"
Yu Qizhe asked expressionlessly, "Has any letter arrived at the post station recently?"
Liuzi replied from outside the carriage, "Song Nian just went to the post station this morning, and there is no letter from the young master from Qingzhou."
Yu Qizhe did not say anything else. His expression could not be seen from outside the car, but Yu Qizhe knew that if Yu Jiao saw his appearance at this moment, she would definitely be scared.
His sparkling peach blossom eyes were filled with brutal and cruel calculations. Not being able to completely possess her and satisfy his possessive desire to occupy and control everything about Yu Jiao made him feel a sense of separation that he wanted to destroy.
Because of incompetence, he could only restrain his ambition and desire that were about to break out of the cocoon.
Yu Jiao came to the capital, not far from him. He even knew where she was, but he couldn't go to see her.
After knowing that Liu Ziqi told him about Yu Jiao's life experience, Yu Qizhe had already made plans. He checked in advance the street that Shen Wan would go to, ran into her by chance, and got close to Shen Jinchun, hoping to use him to get close to Liu Ci Fu, so that he could be closer to Yu Jiao.
He is not qualified to enter the door of the second assistant minister of the cabinet at present.
There has never been a moment when Yu Qizhe desired power more than he does now.
Yu Qizhe could not help but clench his clothes, and the veins on the back of his bony hands were exposed. He was very conflicted. He was afraid that Yu Jiao would be bullied and unhappy when she arrived at the Liu family, where she would be surrounded by strangers. He was also afraid that the Liu family would treat her too well and make her forget about herself. After all, Liu Sanniang did not treat her well, and the Yu family was not good enough to her either. For her, she had never truly received the love and care of her family.
