365: Shen Ziju's Attitude
Shen Ziju was really shocked this time. He was not as skilled as Qian Guang. He was just a weak scholar. This time, he was facing the robbers' swords and was running wildly on a horse. He was also thrown down. He thought he was going to die several times, but he survived. How could he not feel like he was reborn? A feeling of relief filled his heart. However, when he saw Su Zhi, he felt a little lost.
When he encountered danger, Shen Ziju was so panicked that he thought about many things in his mind. He thought that if he died, his parents' expectations of him would be dashed. He thought about how people from all over the country would evaluate him as a talented person who had the best chance of passing the imperial examination but died at the last minute at the hands of thieves. They said they felt sorry for him, but in fact they would say that he didn't have this fate? At that time, he didn't know why he thought about so many things, and then he thought of Su Zhi.
In Shen Ziju's heart, Su Zhi has always been a regrettable existence, but also a beautiful one. Thinking of the faint lotus fragrance on her body, he thought that maybe she was the lotus in his heart. He would never be able to touch her in this life, so he could only watch.
Shen Ziju thought he would die with this feeling that he had never shown to anyone, but he didn't die. He saw Su Zhi as soon as he woke up. How could he not be happy?
Su Zhi naturally also noticed Shen Ziju. When she saw him looking at her with obvious joy in his eyes, she was stunned for a moment and nodded to him.
However, Shen Ziju felt that he was being a little rash and quickly stopped looking at Su Zhi. He still had to go to the capital to take the imperial examination and he couldn't let anyone know about this shameful relationship.
Shen Zhang had sharp eyesight and she felt that something was wrong with her son, but she said nothing. By then, Shen Youfu had already walked over.
"Zi Ju, are you okay? Does your body hurt? Does your head hurt? You are about to go to Beijing, so nothing can happen to you. Our Shen family is counting on you to bring honor to our family."
Shen Youfu asked worriedly. He didn't quite believe what the doctor said, so he had to ask Shen Ziju himself.
"Dad, I'm fine, don't worry."
Shen Ziju said gently, and he sighed slightly in his heart. His father's previous words were quite heartwarming, but the second half of the sentence made people feel a little cold. He also knew that Shen Youfu loved him, but the love was completely different from that of his brothers. It seemed to be based on his ability to become an official. Although it did not disgust him, it made him feel slightly uncomfortable. Especially after seeing how Su Zhi treated Shen Zian, that discomfort gradually expanded.
In Shen Ziju's mind, his fourth brother was just a strong country farmer, but Su Zhi treated him like a treasure, which made Shen Ziju very jealous. If he didn't have such a smart mind and was just an ordinary country man, what would his status be at home? Wouldn't she treat him so well? He thought it must be like this, all the brothers in the family were the same, only he was special.
With this thought, Shen Ziju became more envious of Shen Zian, more yearning for Su Zhi, and more disappointed with his parents.
Shen Youfu was an old farmer with a rough personality. He never thought that his son, who had studied hard and could pass the imperial examination and become an official, would be so critical of him. Was he not as respectful to him as he had imagined? He was still talking, but still focused on the topic of going to Beijing. He had no idea that under Shen Ziju's faint smile, he was increasingly wanting to stay away from home.
A long time later, when Shen Ziju committed a great sin because of Shen Youfu's matter, and he was alone reflecting on his mistakes, he wondered if it was from this time that his feelings towards his father who loved him changed? It was because of the comparison with Su Zhi that he became like that, but could it be Su Zhi's fault? No. At that time, Shen Ziju only felt remorseful in his heart, but he regretted it.
"Okay, Ziju just woke up, don't keep saying these things to him, his face is still so pale."
Shen Zhang interrupted Shen Youfu. Although those words were also a demonstration to the Qian family, telling them that their family was not easy to mess with, they also had a grandfather who was a judge, and they would be officials in the future. But if she said too much, it would become vulgar, which Shen Zhang could not accept.
"Zi Ju, are you okay? My parents just wanted to ask you something, and Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian are here too. Your words are the most trustworthy, so you should speak up."
"Mom, if you have anything to say, just ask me."
"Zi Ju, let me ask you, what exactly happened with Guang'er and Miss Shen falling into the water? Now Miss Shen said that my son... saw something she shouldn't have seen. Is this true?"
Mr. Qian asked Shen Ziju, and he still believed what Shen Ziju said, because Shen Ziju usually behaved very properly and politely, and he looked like a person of high moral character. In addition, Mr. Qian liked scholars, so he thought highly of Shen Ziju. It can be said that he thought that if his son did not help pave the way for his future, he would be inferior to Shen Ziju.
Shen Zhu wanted to marry Qian Guang. He didn't object to it before because of Shen Ziju. In fact, as his wife said, Qian Guang could match a better woman. If he had a daughter, he would definitely marry her to Shen Ziju and would not consider Shen Zhu. At first, he also considered marrying Liang Fu to him, but Liang Fu ran away just for marriage. She even dared to disobey her father, so he, as an uncle, naturally couldn't do anything about it.
Shen Ziju looked embarrassed when he heard this. He looked at everyone in the room who were looking at him. He moved his lips a few times, but still couldn't speak.
In fact, he knew this matter clearly. When they were on the stone platform, he saw that it was Zhu'er who pushed Qian Guang down, and then she jumped down. What happened afterwards, how could he, who was born with Shen Zhu, not guess what Shen Zhu was planning to do?
When he was in the temple, he went to question Shen Zhu, but Shen Zhu asked him not to tell the truth, saying that her family was happy to see her marrying Qian Guang, and she was just striving for it and would succeed soon, so she asked him to lend a hand and not ruin her plan.
"Brother, you promised me that you would let me live a life of luxury and help me marry into a good family. Now Qian Guang is the man I have chosen. You must help me. Also, it will be good for you if our family becomes in-laws with the Qian family."
That's what Shen Zhu said at the time. Shen Ziju couldn't reprimand her at the time, because Shen Zhu had to get engaged to Song Dashan because of him. Although she broke off the engagement later, it's not a good reputation for a woman to break off the engagement, even if she took the initiative. If someone with ulterior motives brings it up, it's not a good reputation. He really felt sorry for his sister, and he promised her that he would let her live a good life. Moreover, becoming in-laws with the Qian family is indeed a good thing.
Shen Ziju was just not satisfied with Shen Zhu's behavior. After all, it was too unkind. He and Qian Guang had been friends for many years. He knew that Qian Guang had no such thoughts about his sister. He had originally thought of giving them more time to cultivate their relationship. Perhaps with their friendship, he would not be rejected after proposing marriage. But he did not expect Shen Zhu to do this. He felt that Shen Zhu's behavior was too sinister and hateful.
"Why are you doing this? Even if Qian Guang has no interest in you, when I become an official, are you still afraid that no one will come to propose marriage to you? There will definitely be someone as good as Qian Guang. If you scheme against him now and he finds out, how can he treat you well? Aren't you asking for trouble?"
Shen Ziju advised Shen Zhu to turn back. He thought Qian Guang was a good brother-in-law, but if they were a couple with bad tempers, it would be better for them to be friends. But Shen Zhu refused to listen. She seemed to have set her sights on Qian Guang and would not marry anyone else. Shen Ziju was helpless and could only let her do so and promised that he would definitely help her.
Shen Zhu was so insistent because of Qian Guang's feelings for Su Zhi. She was jealous of Su Zhi and wanted to make Qian Guang like her instead, so that she could feel relieved. So no matter how good the future Shen Ziju promised her, she would not marry another man.
Now Shen Ziju was really asked about what happened in front of so many people. Shen Ziju recalled Shen Zhu's pitiful yet persistent face when she faced him, and thought that he could only disobey her once.
"It's true. I'm very embarrassed."
Shen Ziju said, he wondered what would happen to Qian Guang and his sister after he said this, he hoped Qian Guang could accept his fate and treat his sister well from now on, after all, his sister was both talented and beautiful, and it did not bring shame to Qian Guang. Shen Ziju thought positively about the situation.
When the Shen family heard Shen Ziju's words, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and looking at the extremely ugly faces of the Qian family, they showed a smug expression.
"What else do you have to say now? My son will never tell lies. He is a dignified old man! He will be an important official in the court in the future! You are taking advantage of me by letting your son marry my daughter."
Shen Youfu said this proudly. This made the Qian family angry and the Shen family members themselves extremely embarrassed. They thought that he was really too arrogant. It was really embarrassing to say this when forcing someone to marry his daughter.
Mrs. Qian snorted and said, "Your son is a master, and my son is not an ordinary man either. We will only believe it after he wakes up and admits it himself!"
Su Zhi thought that Qian Guang was an honest man. If he had really seen it, he would have admitted it. Shen Ziju would not lie about such a thing, so the situation at that time might be as they said. It seemed that Qian Guang was really caught this time. He would not really marry Shen Zhu, would he? She suddenly felt quite sympathetic towards him.
I was too sleepy yesterday, and wanted to sleep for a while before coding, but the alarm didn't go off, and it was already daybreak when I woke up... Because some of my friends didn't want Shen Zhu to marry Qian Guang, I thought about it and finally decided to change the plot reluctantly. She won't marry Qian Guang, are you happy? You won't be angry with me, right? I continued to code and was interrupted by yesterday's update. I recommend a book by a cute newcomer, who is still very thin.
