Chapter 401 Are scholars so pretentious?(1/2)
The street was bustling with people and the flow of people was like weaving.
The canopy carriage slowly stopped in front of the restaurant.
After the girl had seen enough of the farce in Shen's house, she did not forget what Zheng Qianyu had seen, so she got off the carriage with her skirt in hand.
Soon, a servant came to greet him.
"My wife is finally back."
She paid greetings to Shen Hua and reported to Zheng Qianyu in detail: "I didn't like that young master at first, but he was a sweet-talking man. But after a while, he made me happy and admired him endlessly. His words were full of words. It’s not that I’m short of money, I’m afraid I’ve already ranked in the scientific examination.”
Shen Hua:……
Not to mention Zheng Qianyu likes scholars, Master Zheng also likes them.
His sons are not good at studying. But if my uncle gets the honors, the Zheng family will be considered successful, and their ancestors will be in trouble.
She glanced at Zheng Qianyu.
She thought for a while and said: "There is a student sponsored by my father in Fengzhou Luming Academy. Shu Xiu is from my family. After he passed the exam, my father was very happy. But when he came to the door, he put aside all the years of study. I paid back the money together so that I can clear my debts and don’t want to have anything to do with my family anymore.”
Seeing this, Zheng Qianyu frowned and the group only went to one place.
Shen Hua knew about this.
She knew that Mr. Zheng wanted Zheng Qianyu to marry well, but he still had to pay attention to the right match.
"roll!"
For example... Cui Bai.
The matchmaker in the private room reacted the fastest. She looked at the visitor and stood up with a smile: "Oh, Madam Zheng."
Everyone's expressions became much more solemn.
He stood up and cupped his hands towards Zheng Qianyu.
Master Zheng was angry.
She sneered: "It turns out it's none of them."
Before Master Zheng could nod, the girl raised her chin, showing off her coquettishness.
"this--"
But Mrs. Zheng stepped forward happily: "Ms. Shen."
"Why don't you, Mr. Zhao, write an impromptu poem and let me taste it? After all, knowledge is yours and cannot be just something you talk about."
He made Qiao Si the most noble wife and the object of jealousy and envy for many noble ladies.
The elders on the left and right are also there, so we don’t look at each other alone.
She wanted Shen Hua to forget about the miner. In this comparison, wouldn't the girl have to stay true to that man until death?
Her expression is written on her face.
She thought for a while, but it was rare to give a serious lecture.
However, before leaving, he left a message.
In the Daqi Dynasty, there were not many rules for ordinary people to see each other. They were not as polite as those of high-ranking officials and noble ladies. They did not see male guests, or they were separated by a screen and could only show their faces after the marriage was settled.
Shen Hua pursed her lips: "You even watched him go to the toilet."
Shen Hua did not save face: "You have quite a few brothers, and your family is poor. So if the future bride comes into your family, she is not filial enough to her elders and has to help support your younger brothers? A sister-in-law is like a mother. In the future, she will be like a mother. Do you want to help arrange the marriage?"
The servant lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
The scholar restrained himself and did not turn his eyes towards Shen Hua, but looked at Zheng Qianyu lovingly with his sesame eyes.
"A capable husband relies on his own ability to climb up the ladder, not on his in-laws."
"uncle."
She hates Zhao Hua so much!
Mr. Zheng angrily smashed the tea cup in his hand, and the broken porcelain pieces fell on the floor. The matchmaker's heart skipped a beat.
Mrs. Zheng calmed down Master Zheng and said, "Well, such a person is not worthy of our sister. It is a good thing that Mrs. Shen has exposed her now. It is also due to our negligence."
But... success and fame also break the promise.
"I learned about your return yesterday, so I wanted to find a suitable time to meet you."
"I'm not that bad, right? So that if I'm a boy, my father will give it to me?"
After seeing each other, they naturally ended up unhappy.
Shen Hua glanced at her: "Separate people."
The girl lazily said: "Also, since you have ambitions, how can you be a civil servant?"
When the student was in dire straits and had no other way out, he went to the Zheng family in person.
"Tongsheng?"
With a creak, the door was pushed open by someone outside.
Master Zheng was silent.
The girl got serious for a few seconds. When she saw Mr. Zheng and the others walking away, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Zheng Qianyu vaguely understood.
Zheng Qianyu drooped his eyes, as if he had been shocked by this incident.
"you--"
"Wei Zeng. My parents are still alive, so I can't separate the family."
Shen Hua spoke softly.
not talking.
Zheng Qianyu glanced at the man next to the matchmaker, feeling suffocated. She quickly glanced at the beautiful Shen Hua beside her, and her eyes felt comfortable.
Mr. Zheng was also utilitarian at that time and could provide financial support, but when he became famous, he made an engagement with Zheng Qianyu.
"Why don't you see if you can be your aunt?"
Zheng Qianyu was uneasy.
"There are two younger brothers down there? Are the families separated?"
Mr. Zheng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this is filial piety."
Zheng Qianyu: "You look handsome?"
Marrying Zheng Qianyu to a scholar has become an obsession of the Zheng family.
She wanted to die.
Zhao Hua saw her beauty and bowed hurriedly.
"He is only three years older than you."
Help.
Is this marrying a wife? This is marrying the God of Wealth.
But she seemed a little confused.
Master Zheng called Zheng Qianyu to come forward.
You must know that if the Zheng family's marriage is successful, she will get a lot of reward.
"Looking back, I will definitely choose the best one for Miss Zheng!"
"Are all scholars so self-righteous?"
"Your uncle... is he married?"
"Ms. Zheng is well-dressed."
The matchmaker was so frightened that she hurriedly left.
"Zheng Qianyu and I have been friends since childhood. I'm a little confused. Why don't you ask me to ask Mr. Zhao personally?"
"A truly educated gentleman does not care about family background. Some may care about being well-matched, but in the end they will bow to the girl's character and whether she likes her."
Zhao Hua no longer had the gentlemanly demeanor of a young man, so he ran away in despair.
As for claiming to be noble...
"This is Zhao Hua. He is the eldest of the three brothers in the family. His parents are still alive. He has a heavy burden on the family, but he is an ambitious one."
"Mr. Zheng, let me tell you the truth. How can a serious scholar fall in love with your daughter, a rice seller who only has a few stinky money?"
Zheng Qianyu was extremely disgusted.
A trace of concern flashed in Zhao Hua's eyes.
"Why should I worry about my elders? However, he is also a student of Lumingshan Academy. I heard that the Master values him very much."
