Shen Changshan has been in high spirits since yesterday afternoon. Shen Qi'an really wants to remind him, Dad, your precious daughter will be getting married soon.
But seeing how happy his father was, forget it, just let him be happy for a few more days!
We found a restaurant to eat at, and after dinner we went to the pier to take a boat. An hour later we arrived in Qingxi County.
Because they didn't know when they would return, their family didn't send a carriage to pick them up, so they rented one themselves.
Shen Qi'an followed Shen Changshan into his parents' yard, and as soon as he entered, he saw his tall and mighty elder brother.
"Big brother."
Shen Jingyuan turned around and saw Shen Qi'an. He took a few steps forward and patted his shoulder, "Fourth brother has become much stronger."
Shen Qi'an bared his teeth. Big brother's strength was really not light at all.
"Not as good as big brother."
Shen Jingyuan came back to his senses and smiled embarrassedly. He was always like this when he was in the military camp. He was not used to coming back so suddenly.
"Is it not hurting you?"
Shen Qi'an shook his head, "No, brother, I'm not that fragile."
Shen Jingyuan nodded, "Okay, let's fight a few moves later."
"good."
Shen Changshan walked towards his wife and daughter, "Where's Zi'an? Why isn't he here?"
Lin Cuicui poured him a cup of tea and said softly, "Zi'an left for something. I guess he was busy with some unfinished business while traveling. He said he would be back in two days."
Shen Changshan drank several cups of tea in a row, "Ali, do you think your fourth brother can enter the Imperial College?"
Shen Li looked at Shen Changshan and said, "Dad, don't think too much. If A Yu says it's okay, then it's okay."
However, there were some things in her heart that she didn't say. Her fourth brother was just a student now, and he might be looked down upon if he entered the Imperial College.
However, with Fourth Brother's personality, he can handle it by himself, and he is good at martial arts, so few people bully him.
The family chatted for a while and then went back. Chen Li followed Shen Qi'an and caught up with him after leaving his parents' yard.
"Fourth brother, you will enter the Imperial College..."
"A-Li, you think Fourth Brother is too fragile. I know there is no shortage of geniuses in the Imperial College. I went there to learn. If I meet someone who is more talented than me, I will humbly learn from them."
"Fourth brother, I'm not worried about that. There are many children from aristocratic families in the Imperial College, and some of them are not easy to get along with."
"Ali, if we can make friends, then make friends. If we can't, forget it. I'm going there to study. I won't clash with them unless it's absolutely necessary."
“Well, Fourth Brother, you can’t be bullied. Don’t forget that you will also be a person with background when the time comes.”
He just nodded and said, "Ali is right. I was recommended by King Jingnan and I can't let others bully me, lest I tarnish his reputation."
Chen Li gave a thumbs up, "Fourth brother is aware."
Seeing that no one was following him, Shen Qi'an asked, "A-Li, tell Fourth Brother the truth. Why are we all going to the capital?"
Chen Li didn't keep him in suspense and said directly, "There are two purposes. One is because of my eldest brother, and the other is that A Yu will ask for permission to marry on Halloween."
"Please grant me your permission to marry you."
Shen Qi'an murmured these four words, and then thought to himself that it would be better to ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage, so that those who are too arrogant will not look down on Ah Li's status.
"That's fine."
Chen Li smiled and said, "Fourth brother, you don't have to worry. Just based on those two new crops, I will get a lot of benefits from the emperor."
She had already made an appointment with the emperor, not to mention the treasure map she had obtained from the Japanese pirates.
Although these things were not obtained by her, without her, it is not certain where the treasure map is now. Even if they had corn and potato seeds, they would not know how to plant them.
Unless you go out to sea again, it is not easy to go out to sea again. Sailing on the sea is dangerous, not to mention the rampant pirates. Once the weather at sea changes, there is no way back.
"Fourth brother, I'll make a new dish for you to taste in a couple of days."
Chen Li had tried to plant the tomato seeds she had obtained before on the farm, but for some reason, they wouldn't sprout. She then planted them in the yard herself, but they also wouldn't sprout.
Later, it survived only after being planted in the space. After being improved in the space, it was able to adapt to the soil outside.
I have already planted a batch of tomatoes on the farm and they are almost ripe. I will make some dishes with them for them to try in a few days.
"Are they seeds from overseas?"
"Well, there are quite a few in my yard. Brother Four can go and have a look when you have time."
"Then I'll go check it out some other day."
"Well, then, Fourth Brother, you go read a book. I'll go back first."
"good."
Chen Li returned to the yard and was delighted to see the flowers and trees planted there. There was also a row of tomatoes in the corner of the yard, and the fruits had turned red.
I picked a Chenli, took out the handkerchief I carried with me and wiped the dust off it. I took a bite, and the sour and sweet taste instantly spread on my tongue. The tomato had a crunchy texture and didn't look very good, but it tasted good.
After eating one, Chen Li went to the study to practice calligraphy. As the saying goes, seeing the handwriting reveals the person, and it is inevitable to go out to attend banquets in the future.
She has always been a strong-willed person and would never give others the opportunity to attack her.
She could now imagine how many people would target her, the Princess of Jingnan, who came from the countryside.
Pei Yu was a popular guy before he got married. Now that she has snatched this popular guy away, she will naturally become more of a thorn in her eyes and a thorn in her flesh.
But she is not afraid.
After the family had their meal and chatted for a while, they went back to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, Pei Yu rode on a tall horse, with eight carriages lined up in a row behind him. Big red flowers made of red silk were tied on the horses' heads, and they looked very festive.
When the villagers saw this, they all gathered together and pointed and talked.
"Where are we going?"
"Alas, that's not the point. Are you going to propose marriage?"
"Hiss, look at all those carriages. How much do they have to hold in terms of betrothal gifts?"
"Could this direction be heading to the Shen family?"
No matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn't figure out which family, apart from the Shen family in the village committee, would have such a grand ceremony.
They used to laugh at the Shen family for being too picky, but now it seems that they were the ones who were blind.
"Let's go and take a look."
"Yeah, let's go, let's go. When has our village ever seen such a grand scene?"
"Did you see that young man in the lead? Tsk tsk, judging by his imposing aura, he must be someone very important."
"Do you even need to tell me that? Anyone with eyes can see it."
"Oh, okay, stop talking nonsense and leave."
A group of men, women, young and old followed the carriage in a mighty procession.
