Shura was not unaware of the gossip outside, but he became much calmer after accepting the contract.
He'll pretend he doesn't hear anything unless you mention it to him directly.
However, this time someone spoke directly to him.
"Hey, isn't this my cousin-in-law? What's this? You're not planning to take the imperial examinations anymore, and you're going into business with your third uncle?"
That's fine too. Your third uncle's family is very wealthy, and he only has one daughter, your cousin. Wouldn't all of that be yours?
Brother-in-law, you've got a clever plan.
Are scholars these days so calculating?
Tell me, if I had that kind of brain, wouldn't I have taken over all of Uncle San's businesses long ago?
Haha, cousin-in-law, why don't you teach us how to be like you?
Not only will he win the heart of a beautiful woman, but he will also acquire such a vast fortune.
The one speaking was Qifei's cousin.
The family had three sons and separated from the family at a very early age.
In addition, the elderly in the family had passed away long ago, and it has always been a matter of who takes care of whose small family.
The brothers' relationship wasn't particularly good, but it wasn't bad either.
In the early years, the third son of the Jun family, who was also Qi Fei's father, had no son, and both families had considered adopting an heir.
But all of them were rejected by Qifei's father.
This made both sides look rather uncomfortable.
They all felt they were acting out of pure passion and for their brother's good, but he didn't appreciate it.
It would be a lie to say I'm not envious of Qifei's father's business empire.
The three brothers had the same business, but only Qifei's father succeeded, and both families depended on him for a living.
This inevitably made them, as the older brothers, feel a little embarrassed.
But what does face matter compared to having enough to eat?
Although the two families were not as well off as Qifei's father, they were not too bad off either.
However, people are never satisfied.
Once you have one, you want two.
Originally, all the sons of these families had already decided that it was just a cousin, right?
Girls are easy to fool.
As long as you have a good husband, there shouldn't be any problems.
Qifei's father said he wanted to find a son-in-law, and they had all made arrangements, but who knew that a Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear out of nowhere.
They snatched it away directly.
However, there's really nothing they can do if the people they prepared aren't selected.
Before they even started working on it, Uncle San had already decided on the candidate, quickly and accurately picking one.
Everyone was stunned, but the invitations had already been sent out, and they couldn't very well say, "Uncle, please change the person. This one won't do," could they?
They had investigated the young man who had suddenly appeared; he was just a poor kid with no money.
Reading is the most expensive thing; pen, ink, paper, and inkstone all cost money.
The most expensive items were still the books.
Many poor scholars couldn't afford those books, so they made a living by copying them.
Their cousin's husband is quite something; he actually came in first place in the provincial examination this time, which is certainly something to be proud of.
But they were a little angry because everything had been planned so well, but in the end, it all fell apart.
Meanwhile, her cousin-in-law studies at home every day, so they can't find an opportunity to study.
After he passed the provincial examination, he was seen following his third uncle out to look around the shops.
Oh ho, are they here to mark their territory?
They acted swiftly upon hearing the news, and sure enough, they caught up with the person.
Having finally managed to corner someone, let's put everything else aside and vent our anger first.
Upon seeing the group, Shura didn't speak at first, but instead bowed and greeted them, "Greetings, fellow cousins."
He had naturally met these relatives on his wedding day.
"What my cousins said is both right and wrong." Shura's expression was neither humble nor arrogant. "If my cousins envy me for winning the heart of a beauty, then naturally you can ask your families to help you marry a beautiful bride."
But whether she's as pretty as Fei'er, I have no idea.
After all, in my eyes, Fei'er is the most beautiful girl in the whole world.
If you envy me for achieving the top score in the provincial examination, I can recommend the school where my former teacher taught me.
Although my cousins said...
Shura looked the group up and down. "They are a bit old..."
However, learning is endless. With the old man with white hair pursuing his studies, his cousins must be much better than him.
I wish you all the best in your exams.
"While I might not get first place, I might see a few of my cousins' names at the bottom of the list."
With a combination of suppression and attack, they silenced everyone.
Why do I feel like they can't out-argue him when it comes to eloquence?
However, the barbarians never followed any rules when dealing with scholars. One of them chuckled and stepped forward to put his arm around Shura's shoulder, saying, "Hey, brother-in-law, don't say that your brothers don't take care of you."
You've been at the Jun family's house for a while now, and you're either studying or spending time with my cousin every day.
Even celestial beings get tired of each other, right?
"Come on, come on, let your brother show you what beautiful scenery is like."
Shura effortlessly broke free from his grasp, bowed slightly, and said with a helpless expression, "Brothers, it's not that I don't want to go with you."
My wife is very strict; she stipulates that I must return home by a certain time.
If I go back a little later…
Shura's face showed a look of fear and trepidation. "My days are not so easy."
Shura's performance must have pleased them, because they burst into laughter, "You little rascal, how could you talk about my cousin like that?"
Your cousin is such a gentle and kind person, she's definitely just joking with you.
This time it's fine, but next time your brothers invite you, you'd better give them face.
"If you're scared, that's okay. Your brother will talk to your sister and promise you'll come out safe and sound, and return home safely."
"Then thank you in advance, brothers. Next time there is an opportunity, I will treat you to a proper meal."
Today is really unacceptable. We were supposed to leave at a certain time today, and if we don't go back, my wife will definitely make a scene.
I'm so sorry.
Shura's humble attitude made the others feel very comfortable.
"Alright, you can go back first today. I'll send a special invitation later, and I guarantee my sister won't have anything to say."
The group was so amused by Shura's pitiful appearance that they forgot what he had said earlier.
He waved his hand and told him to leave.
That evening, Shura went back and complained to Qifei.
"They even wanted to take me to that kind of place, how shameless."
When he said this, Shura's face was full of grievance, and he looked at Qifei with pleading eyes, as if hoping to get her affirmation.
"My wife, you are the most beautiful woman in the world. No woman can compare to you."
I wouldn't want to go to those places either. If those people weren't your cousin, I would have definitely taught them a lesson.
As he spoke, a smug expression appeared on Shura's face. "That's it. I subtly insulted them for being stupid, and they didn't even notice. In the end, they were so happy that they let me go."
"Do you think I did the right thing, my wife?"
Qi Fei smiled. She really felt that the Shura in this world was particularly vivid, and his personality was very much like a child.
"Good job, you did the right thing today."
If you don't want to talk to my cousins, you can just ignore them. It's no big deal.
If they want to take you to places other than those, just find a way to refuse.
If you really can't refuse, it's fine to go with them.
