Chapter 1707 The selection of a new wife (1)

In the evening, after Mr. Shen returned home, he saw Mrs. Shen studying a piece of calligraphy in the room, and he laughed: "Is Madam planning to give up martial arts and follow literature?"

The "wu" he was referring to was that when he returned to his family, Mrs. Cui didn't want to see him and started to drive him out of her yard.At that time, Mrs. Cui was wronged and often fought with him. Shen Luming knew that he was wrong and made sure that his wife would not fight back or scold him. After many times, Ms. Cui gradually forgive him and slowly accept his words.

Seeing that he was being talkative, Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't be poor, come here and take a look at these words, okay?"

Only then did Mr. Shen see that there were more than ten paintings on Madam's dressing table!

He walked over, took out a painting and looked at it carefully. Shen Luming was a Jinshi and was very knowledgeable in poetry, calligraphy and painting. After looking at a few paintings, he nodded and said, "Yes, fresh and elegant, flowing clouds and flowing water. Although his kung fu is not good enough." I got it home, but it’s pretty well written. I wonder who the person named Li Jing is, who could make Madam like it so much that he could write more than a dozen paintings in one go!"

Mrs. Shen rolled up the banner in her hand, rolled her eyes at him, and said angrily: "A few months ago, I went to inquire about people and peek at them. In just a few months, I have completely forgotten about them!"

"It's him?"

Master Shen was surprised and immediately thought of the young man Li Jing who was looking for a wife for his daughter a few months ago. But, wasn't he in Qing County? Where did Madam get his handwriting?

Mrs. Shen seemed to have guessed her husband's thoughts, and explained: "Li Jing has come to the capital now. I bought this calligraphy from him today. I don't know where the young man has settled now. He looks very poor. It's such a cold day, but he's still wearing undershirt, and his face is as white as paper. It looks like he's been hungry for days..."

At this point, he sighed and said: "It's fate. If the master hadn't suddenly received the order from above, Li Sheng and our Juhua would probably be married by now, and we wouldn't be in such a miserable state as now." Woolen cloth?"

Master Shen said: "This Li Sheng will take part in the provincial examination next year. How could he come to the capital in such a good way? Maybe something happened?"

Mrs. Shen said: "Who knows? Anyway, I think it is fate to see him again. Why don't you keep him by your side and observe him? If he is really a diligent and motivated young man, we will Let's get him married. Juhua is already seventeen this year, and she will be eighteen during the Chinese New Year. She's already a grown-up girl, so if we just keep her at home, people will criticize her!"

People in ancient times got married very early. Women usually started getting married when they were thirteen or fourteen years old. It was rare for people like Juhua to delay getting married until the age of seventeen or eighteen. Mr. Shen was also afraid of being criticized by others, and his daughter had a daughter. He and his wife had already discussed the matter, so when his wife asked him to take Li Jing in, he agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, let's buy a shop tomorrow and let him be the shopkeeper first. If you want to know a person's character, the best way is to use money to measure it!"

Shen Luming has been a county magistrate in Qing County for more than ten years and has a lot of money, so it is not difficult for him to open a shop. After hearing this, Mrs. Shen agreed very much and said: "This is a great idea, sir. Why don't we go find a shop tomorrow and start setting up business as soon as possible."

The husband and wife were already worried about it, so they didn't mention it.

Let's say that after Mo Shuya returned from the congratulations, he first went to the Lotus Champs to pay his respects to his great-grandmother Liu.

Ever since the death of Empress Dowager Mo, Mrs. Liu has been in bad health. She has been sick every three days, and her energy level has been much worse than in previous years. Fortunately, Mo Zijing's wife Yang gave birth to a baby a month ago. This fat white boy made the old lady feel better, but she was still not as strong as before.
