Chapter 676: Shen Emei asks for marriage!
The other members of the Shen family were equally worried. Even though they were only appearing to be friendly on the surface, they still gathered together to discuss visiting the palace to visit the patient.
As he was talking, Shen Conglian suddenly said something.
"If Cheng Zheng recovers from his illness this time, we should hurry up and hold the wedding at home to avoid any more accidents."
Shen Yuanjing agreed with this, only Shen Yuanxu looked at his father with an indifferent expression.
After the conversation, Miao returned to the room and began to gloat over the other's misfortune.
"It has only been a short time since Liu and Hu passed away, and the Second House can't wait any longer."
Shen Congli's ear disease is getting worse and worse. Two months ago, he could still hear a little sound, but now he can't even hear someone knocking a gong next to his ear.
Looking at Miao's gloating expression, he lost interest and left the room with a cold face.
Upon seeing this, Miao became furious and started smashing things and cursing in the house.
"No man is good. The men in the Shen family are more ruthless than the others..."
The next day, the Shen family submitted a memorial to the palace, which listed the people who were going to the palace to visit the patient.
They came to visit Cheng Zheng, and when the people below handed the memorial up, she asked someone to deliver it directly to Cheng Zheng.
"Call Bansicao over for Cheng Shijun to take a look."
Soon the carrier eagle flew out of the imperial city.
Cheng Zheng understood what His Majesty meant, and without making a special trip to His Majesty, he picked up his pen and wrote the word "Yun".
Your Majesty must want to make the decision himself, so I won’t take up your time on such a small matter.
After receiving the reply, the Shen family immediately began to prepare gifts for visiting the patient. For this purpose, Shen Yuanxu and Shen Yuanjing even took leave and did not attend the morning court.
Now Your Majesty has only Cheng Zheng as your servant. If Your Majesty were a man, Cheng Zheng would be the queen.
Unfortunately, Your Majesty is a woman, and Cheng Zheng was not given an official title. She was only given the title of Shijun.
"Mr. Cheng, how are you?"
The younger generations of the Shen family had all been with Cheng Zheng before, especially the older ones. In their hearts, they treated Cheng Zheng as their uncle.
Cheng Zheng couldn't speak, and now he didn't have the strength to pick up the pen, so he just raised his hand to support it.
The people who served him understood what he meant and conveyed it on his behalf.
"Mr. Cheng, I want you to stand up."
Shen Emei is a woman, so she has many taboos. But men like Shen Chengfeng don't have so many taboos.
One by one, they came forward, held Cheng Zheng's hands, and gathered around him, chattering with concern.
Shen Yuanjing and Shen Yuanxu noticed that Cheng Zheng's brows were showing more signs of fatigue, so they sent them all to stand aside.
"Cheng Zheng, take good care of yourself and you will get better soon." Shen Yuanxu felt heavy in his heart when he saw Cheng Zheng's face which did not look like that of a normal person.
Unexpectedly, among those who had been with them from exile to the present, Cheng Zheng would be the first to leave.
Shen Yuanxu looked at Cheng Zheng's appearance, and the time they spent together in the past gradually came to his mind.
"Cheng Zheng, His Majesty has sent someone to find Bansicao. The doctors at the Imperial Hospital are useless, but Bansicao will definitely be useful."
"He is now an expert in both medicine and poison, he will definitely be able to cure you."
Cheng Zheng nodded, with a desire for life still in his eyes.
He grabbed Shen Yuanjing's hand tightly and used his strength to tell others that he really wanted to live.
The eunuch brought the medicine over. After seeing Cheng Zheng take the medicine, the brothers Shen Yuanxu and Shen Yuanjing slowly closed their eyes, made a silent gesture, and left with their family.
"Brother, is it okay for Cheng Zheng to be like this?" Shen Yuanjing asked Shen Yuanxu with a heavy face.
The latter said with a worried tone: "It's hard to say."
Although it was not stated explicitly, both of them already knew the answer.
Even if Cheng Zheng recovers this time, it is unknown how long he can live.
When the others saw the Shen family coming to visit the patient, they submitted memorials to the palace one after another.
Shen Lanxi had all of them sent to Cheng Zheng for decision, and it was up to him whether to see them or not.
Those who submitted memorials were either Cheng Zheng's former colleagues, friends, or students.
If you don't see me, you will regret it.
Fortunately, within a few days, Ban Si Cao arrived in the dark.
He didn't want to see Cheng Zheng's haggard face, so he went in to see him while he was unconscious, left a prescription, said a few words to Shen Lanxi, and left.
He now has to go to the medical school in Aolai country every day to inspect teaching and enrollment. He is so busy every day that he wishes he could grow eight hands and eight mouths to speak and do things for him.
The reason I was able to squeeze out the time to come here this time was because of our past comradeship with Cheng Zheng.
He cared about the friendship between his comrades, but he didn't want his comrades to come to him for medical treatment.
He didn't want to be the one to see them off.
…
Cheng Zheng took the prescription left by Ban Si Cao, and his condition improved day by day.
That day, Shen Lanxi received a letter from Dongchuan, which read: Sang Guo passed away!
She pushed the letter under the desk.
Cheng Zheng has made great progress, and the happiest people are the Shen family.
Shen Yuanjing was walking in the palace and saw Cheng Zheng go to the imperial study to serve tea to His Majesty. The next day, he went to His Majesty to talk about the marriage.
"Your Majesty, Mei is already at the age to get married, but no one in her family has come to propose marriage. Please, Your Majesty, choose a young man from the capital and arrange a marriage for Mei."
Shen Lanxi: "Emei is nineteen years old, right?"
Shen Yuanjing nodded quickly: "Your Majesty remembered it exactly. Emei has grown into a big girl."
If she were an ordinary girl, she would already have two or three children by her age.
Shen Lanxi: "Does Emei have a crush on someone?"
Shen Yuanjing: "No, she has no love in her heart. She only wants to pass the imperial examination and relieve your majesty's worries."
Unfortunately, there is no one in the Shen family who can read, and they are not good at martial arts, so they cannot pass the military examination.
Shen Lanxi thought for a moment and said, "Make a list of unmarried young talents in the capital and let the maids choose. Whoever is chosen, I will grant them marriage."
Shen Yuanjing wanted His Majesty to choose this person.
"Your Majesty, I have been away from home for many years and I don't know anything about the people and things in the capital. Emei is a woman and she won't ask about men. You also know the situation at home. There is no mistress who can take charge."
Shen Lanxi looked at him: "Do you want me to choose you?"
Shen Yuanjing nodded as if he had risked his life.
"The person your majesty has chosen must be right. Please grant marriage to this beautiful girl."
Shen Lanxi: "What if the person I choose doesn't suit Emei's taste?"
Shen Yuanjing hurriedly said: "No, the person chosen by His Majesty must be the best among men."
Shen Lanxi: "You go down, after I select the candidate, I will send someone to inform the Shen family."
Shen Yuanjing was nervous all the way. After leaving the palace, he walked quickly towards the Shen family.
Your Majesty is becoming more and more majestic day by day. Sometimes, just talking to Your Majesty makes him feel like a mountain is pressing down on him, making it difficult to breathe.
Soon the palace sent the news to the Shen family.
"The third son of the Minister of Rites, who just passed the imperial examination this year, has been sent to Shan Province to serve as a county magistrate. He is handsome and has a clean family."
After the white-faced eunuch finished speaking, he glanced at the frowning Shen Emei, rolled his eyes, and continued: “The most important thing is that he is three years younger than Shen Emei, which is a good age for young people to achieve success!”
