Chen Luchu slept soundly until dawn and woke up feeling refreshed.
After breakfast, Zhou Jingshen came to invite him to the book fair.
"I'm not going. I'm going to stay home and wait for the fun."
"What fun?"
Chen Luchu told Zhou Jingshen about Jiang Shiyuan's plan to get married as if it were a joke.
Zhou Jingshen didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this: "Did she really say that? She lied without even thinking before she came? Isn't she afraid of being humiliated?"
Zhou Jingshen was somewhat curious about how Jiang Shiyuan would end up. She spoke out so recklessly, was she really going to find someone to marry?
"I'm bored, so I might as well stay and have some fun." Zhou Jingshen became interested and sat down.
Zhou Jingshen actually looked down on Jiang Shiyuan a little.
Jiang Shiyuan's father was a warrior, and her mother was a bandit. There was not a decent person in her family. If there was no Imperial Concubine Jiang in the palace, there would be no such people as the Jiang family in the capital. Jiang Shiyuan, a young lady from the general's mansion, was not worthy of being on the stage.
Wanting to marry into a marquisate or a duke like them is wishful thinking.
This is what Chen Luchu meant by being lukewarm towards her.
In Zhou Jingshen's opinion, Jiang Shiyuan has been following Shen Luchu for so many years, which is not only wishful thinking, but also somewhat overestimating his own abilities.
No one took it seriously before, Jiang Shiyuan would come forward if he wanted to, since Shen Luchu wouldn’t lose anything anyway.
But after the New Year, Shen Luchu got married. After winning the first prize in the Spring Examination, Shen Luchu's marriage was definitely settled.
"Lü Chu, why don't you take this opportunity to make things clear with Jiang Shiyuan and let her give up on this idea." Zhou Jingshen suggested.
Chen Luchu shook his head: "Jiang Shiyuan is too stubborn and needs to be tempered."
Everyone said that Jiang Shiyuan liked him and obeyed him in everything, and Shen Luchu also agreed with this.
But only Shen Luchu knew that Jiang Shiyuan was too stubborn. Once she made up her mind, she would not give in no matter how he threatened or tempted her. For example, when he asked her and Su Liluo to obey, Jiang Shiyuan never obeyed and even completely escaped from his control.
This made Shen Luchu very unhappy.
Zhou Jingshen stared at Chen Lvchu in astonishment: "What do you mean? Do you really want to marry her?"
Chen Luchu smiled at Zhou Jingshen: "Have you ever seen a man with only one woman by his side?"
Zhou Jingshen understood immediately. He said, how could Chen Luchu marry Jiang Shiyuan?
Even if Chen Luchu wanted to marry, his mother would never agree.
Wen Jun, however, is a person who strictly screens even the friends around Shen Luchu. However, if there is any criticism about the character or family of the people around Shen Luchu, Wen Jun will intervene immediately, either breaking off the relationship with Shen Luchu or directly telling them to stay away from Shen Luchu.
Jiang Shiyuan was often admonished and warned by Wen Jun, but Shen Luchu's father, Lord Shen, liked Jiang Shiyuan very much.
Lord Shen admired Jiang Shiyuan's parents very much, and praised Jiang Shiyuan for being the descendant of a loyal hero, and for having a tenacity that others did not have.
It was precisely because of Lord Shen’s appreciation that Jiang Shiyuan was able to follow Shen Luchu all the time and even go in and out of the Marquis’s mansion.
Zhou Jingshen said: "In fact, it is not impossible for you to marry Jiang Shiyuan. As long as you mention it to your father, Lord Shen will not object to this marriage considering his love for Jiang Shiyuan."
Shen Luchu sneered: “She is not worthy yet.”
Zhou Jingshen and Chen Luchu chatted idly, and in a blink of an eye, a pot of tea had been drunk, the sun was high in the sky, but the fun they were waiting for never appeared.
Shen Jingmo gradually became impatient.
Zhou Jingshen couldn't help but mutter: "Why hasn't Jiang Shiyuan come yet?"
"Come to think of it, apart from the accidental encounter that day at Shengtingchun, I have already..." Zhou Jingshen pinched the time and said in shock: "Five days! I haven't seen Jiang Shiyuan for five whole days."
This was absolutely impossible in the past. Jiang Shiyuan would find a reason to hang around in front of Shen Lvchu even if he had nothing to do. The longest time was only one day, and that was because Jiang Shiyuan caught a cold and was afraid of passing the disease on to Shen Lvchu.
"Is Jiang Shiyuan really going to get married?"
"impossible!"
Zhou Jingshen couldn't help but guess, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shen Luchu in a harsh voice.
Zhou Jingshen was startled and turned to look at Shen Luchu, only to see that he had a serious expression and frowned, and he was obviously furious.
What's this expression?
Is he anxious?
Zhou Jingshen sneered, "Lü Chu, why are you so nervous? I just said it casually."
Shen Luchu also realized his own loss of composure and sneered, "Nervous? How is that possible?"
"I just feel that Jiang Shiyuan is getting more and more presumptuous. She bullied Su Liluo yesterday and I gave her a way out to apologize, but she turned a deaf ear to me. She really doesn't know how to advance or retreat!" Shen Luchu explained:
"I think she hasn't realized the seriousness of the situation yet. Let's wait a little longer. Who knows, she might already be on her way here." Zhou Jingshen also said.
Let the couple have fun on their own.
