Chapter 64
"That's it." Shen Qingrou thought for a while, but couldn't come up with a good word, and even felt that Li Erya was better to others than to her younger brother, except that she was more generous in terms of money.

Mrs. Shen was getting more and more worried, but she didn't want to show it, so as not to affect other people's mood, especially her son was about to take the county exam.

Both of them resigned for the sake of Shen Mu, and they wanted to stay for several days. For Li Erya, it was the difference between setting up their home in the countryside and in the city.

But in the city, there are many places for Shen Nanzhou to go, and Shen Muyin also often has to go out, either to Huichuntang, to the bookstore, or to new friends.

Mrs. Shen and Shen Qingrou are people who don't go out unless they can. Li Erya always feels that Mrs. Shen looks at her strangely, and she also wants to run out.

Su Yue always said that he wanted to talk to her about diabetes, but she only knew a little bit about it, so she didn't want to talk to him, but now she took the initiative to come to him.

But in addition to talking about diabetes, Su Yue will also teach her what to look, hear and ask without hesitation.

Su Ling is also studying with her. Su Ling is talented and intelligent. Although she is not talented in studying medicine, she has excellent comprehension. Given time, she will definitely become an outstanding doctor.

"Ahem." Su Yue frowned, always feeling that there was something strange in the way she looked at her daughter.

"What is sister always looking at me for?" Su Ling put down Tian Qi in her hand, raised her head, and looked at Li Erya seriously.

Li Erya smiled awkwardly, and then said generously, "You are good-looking, pleasing to the eye, and you should take a look at it when you have the chance."

"It's a good thing you're not a man." Su Yue was dumbfounded by her.

"It's a pity that I'm not a man, otherwise I would consider becoming a doctor." Li Erya smiled self-deprecatingly.

If she was a man, the parents in the real world would not be dissatisfied, and would even be proud of her. In the book, the parents would not abandon her and want to tie her up after seeing her value.

Many entanglements seemed to be due to her being a daughter, Li Erya suddenly felt that she lacked interest, "Go ahead, I should go home."

When Shen Nanzhou returned to the countryside, Mrs. Shen stayed in the city temporarily, because Mrs. Hu said she wanted to visit, so she had to stay one more day.

She should also stay at home when guests come.

Su Yue looked at her back, wondering why she was so heavy at such a young age.

"Father, is sister overthinking in this situation?" Su Yue asked suddenly.

"It's just something on your mind, don't talk nonsense in front of her." Su Yue warned.

"why?"

"..."

Besides, Li Erya returned to the front of the house, took a deep breath before knocking on the door.

However, she waited for a while longer, and it was Mrs. Hu's maid who came to open the door, and Li Erya thanked her with some astonishment.

She didn't expect them to come so soon, and what surprised her was that Shen Qingrou was not there, but Shen Muyin was.

Unable to hide, Li Erya smiled and greeted her.

"We were talking about you just now. Thanks to you, Jixianglou's business has improved a lot. It is rare for Jing'er to be praised by his grandfather." Mrs. Hu also praised Mrs. Shen for her good eyesight in choosing such a good daughter-in-law.

Although her son is the eldest son of the eldest son, he may not be the best heir, but this time, thanks to Li Erya, the father-in-law treats Jing'er differently, and he is one step closer to that position.

Although Mrs. Shen was being praised, she just forced a smirk.

Mrs. Hu came and revealed that she wanted to get married with her. A family with daughters begged her and she should be happy, but when she thought that this marriage was attracted by Li Erya, she felt a pain in her throat.

The merchant was like this, staring at the petty profit in front of him, not really thinking about his daughter, Mrs. Shen didn't agree, but said that her daughter was still young and she was not in a hurry.

Hu Shaojing is seven years older than his daughter, and he is also a merchant. It is hard to say whether he is a good husband and son-in-law, and the county test results have not yet come out.

Although Mrs. Shen did not refuse, she still refused to let go of her promise to this marriage. Mrs. Hu's face was not very good-looking, so she had a kind of good face when she saw Li Erya.

Since the words were not speculative, Mrs. Hu had no choice but to get up and leave.

Mrs. Shen hurriedly got up to see her off.

"You don't need to send them off." Mrs. Hu stopped in front of the door, her face had regained her calm, she held Li Erya's hand, and even showed a little smile on her face, "You and I are very destined, Chance would like to invite you to my house, but I don't know if Mrs. Shen is willing to let you go."

Mrs. Shen responded awkwardly, and glanced at Li Erya, it was hard to stop her, but she could give a clear promise, "That's her blessing."

"The day after tomorrow is my birthday. I'm afraid I won't be able to pass this birthday without you. You must come when the time comes. It doesn't matter whether you are polite or not. I am happy to see you and feel that I can live a long life."

"At that time, I will definitely go to congratulate."

Mrs. Hu got the letter, so she didn't say much, got into the sedan chair with the help of the maid and left.

Behind the door, Li Erya felt several gazes that she couldn't ignore, so she had no choice but to turn around and face them, "Did I say something wrong?"

"You're right, but it's safer to let Mu Yin go with you the day after tomorrow." Mrs. Shen sighed heavily, and she didn't know what Mrs. Hu was thinking.

What she didn't know was that Mrs. Hu really couldn't swallow that breath.

In Mrs. Hu's opinion, her son is nineteen years old. It's rare for her to think about getting married, and she is also optimistic about him. She thought that something that was a sure thing was left alone, so angry in her heart.

If Li Erya had not entered the Shen family already, she might not have fallen in love with Shen Qingrou if she fell in love with Li Erya, but Li Erya's status was a bit lower, so it might not be suitable for her to be a wife, but a noble concubine would be fine.

The more Mrs. Hu thought about it, the more angry she felt that Mrs. Shen was so ungrateful because of her two sons, so she went to talk to Mrs. Sun like this, trying to get Shen Muci off the list.

Mrs. Sun has also been thinking about her aunt and nephew's marriage. After hearing Mrs. Hu's embellished words, she was filled with righteous indignation, and insisted on showing the Shen family some color from the magistrate Sun.

County magistrate Sun was still calm, but he didn't want to disturb his family. After carefully comparing Shen Muci's and No.2's articles, the balance tended to be No.2, which at least calmed Madam Sun's anger.

When the results came out, Shen Muci was very disappointed, but it was acceptable, because he also knew No.1, a well-known child prodigy. Although he was hit, he didn't suspect that there were other articles in it.

However, Mrs. Shen suffered quite a blow. She thought that No. 1 was a sure thing, but she didn't expect him to come in second.

Although Shen Nanzhou's performance was not as obvious as Mrs. Shen's, and he even comforted Shen Muci to be humble and continue to work hard, but Li Erya could still see that he was a little disappointed.
