The Pearl of the Lady

Chapter 140
A gust of cold wind blew through, and three black threads hung on Shen Yuran's forehead. He said dumbfoundedly, "Where did this rumor come from? How could I be Princess Shang?"

Mrs. Shen smiled, "I'll just say it's impossible. Ran'er is such an obedient child, how could he ignore your teachings? The number one scholar and princess are all mentioned in the script."

Father Shen felt at ease in his heart, but he didn't show a smile on his face, he just nodded, "You're pretty obedient, you're not too young, before you left home, the family was looking after your wife, and now you're pretty much the same, Speaking of which, you should also know that the daughter of the Jiang family in the south of the city, her elder brother is your classmate."

Shen Yuran frowned immediately, "Forgive me for not obeying my orders."

"What are you talking about? Since ancient times, major marriages have been ordered by your parents and the words of the matchmaker. Where do you have the confidence to dare not obey orders?"

"Baby..." Shen Yuran hesitated, he really wanted to tell his parents that he already had someone he liked, but he also knew that his parents had a slightly pedantic temper, and he would definitely feel that women were not reserved enough.

Shen's mother also advised, "You are obedient. If you run out to take the No. [-] Scholar exam, your father will not say anything. Marriage is a big matter, but you can't let yourself decide."

"Who said that I will not pursue the matter of him running out to be the number one scholar, but I am afraid that he will be judged by the court, otherwise I would have let him go home a long time ago." , argued.

He straightened his face again, "That's all, even if you didn't embarrass the Shen family, but marriage matters, you can't do whatever you want. You're still young, what do you know?"

"You said just now that I'm old too?"

"No trickery."

"Your mother has also seen the girl from the Jiang family. She is gentle and virtuous. Min and Shishu are knowledgeable and reasonable. After returning this time, I will come to the door to make a decision. When the time comes, will you ask for leave to go back to get married, or come here to get married? Let's discuss it later."

It's a pity that Shen's father will be disappointed. Although Shen Yuran is filial, this time he can't obey his orders. He lifted his robe and knelt down neatly, "I really can't obey my orders, please forgive me."

"You...you..." Father Shen pointed at him angrily.

Shen's mother hurriedly smoothed things over, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, the child is still young, it's just not sensible for a while," and then turned to Shen Yuran, "Ran'er, I see that your father is angry, so hurry up and apologize."

"My son has nothing to say. You can let go of other things, but this is the only one."

"You... You stubborn, what's wrong with the Jiang family girl? Why don't you want this marriage?"

Shen Yuran was also forced into a hurry, "Even if Miss Jiang is very good, she wants to become a fairy, what does it have to do with me, I won't marry, and I can't marry, my son has someone else in his heart."

Father Shen was about to stare again.

Shen's mother spoke first. Today she was mainly singing the white face, and she said softly and slightly sadly, "Your father and I are also getting older. Seeing other people have grandchildren is enviable. You are not at home when you have grandchildren. Our old couple will not be too lonely."

She paused, "We don't have to force you to marry the daughter of Jiang's family, but we are just thinking about your age and you should get married. Since my son already has a girl he likes in his heart, then you can tell me a name. If it is suitable, we will marry you." If you invite a matchmaker, you can come to the door to propose marriage."

Shen Yuran hesitated for a moment, but there was nothing he could do. If he didn't say anything at this time, his parents would definitely think that he disagreed because of rebellion. Maybe he would associate with the third princess again, and that would be troublesome. He said, "Son. The one I fell in love with is Gu Jiao, the owner of Anle County."

Princess Anle, Princess Anle... The two elders recited these four words silently several times in their hearts, and Mother Shen asked: "The daughter of Duke Gu and Princess Hua'an, Princess Anle, the Pearl of the Great Zhou?"

Shen Yuran was full of joy and pride in her heart, she nodded and said, "Of course it is her, there is no second Princess Anle in Da Zhou."

Shen's mother was a little confused. Although they were in the south of the Yangtze River, they had heard the name of Anle Princess. Jiangnan is a gathering place for literati and poets. The anecdote about Qing and Princess Anle's portraits has also spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River. Compared with the princess who has never been heard of in the deep palace, Princess Anle's reputation is obviously much greater.

Shen Yuran was proud in her heart, thinking everything was right, the person I love is just that good.

"Bring me a stick!" A loud shout interrupted the daze of the mother and son. "I'll kill this power-climbing bastard."

Mrs. Shen hurriedly stopped her, stroking her chest, "Husband, don't, what kind of person has become from my son."

"Why not? You also know that Princess Anle was born in Duke Gu's mansion. Her mother is Princess Hua'an, the younger sister of the current emperor, and her father is the head of the Gu family of the first family. She was the great Sikong. With her family background, it's hard to climb If you are rich and powerful, if you are admitted to the number one scholar, it will be nothing more than an official in the court, and you will not even lose the backbone of a literati."

"I didn't. When I met Princess Anle, I didn't know her identity."

"That's not okay. Our family can't climb up to such a family, and we can meet men casually. Such a woman is not something our family can bear."

Shen Yuran frowned tightly, "How can you comment on others like this, you don't know her, how can you draw conclusions casually."

Shen Yuran has always been filial and obedient, Shen's father has never been refuted, and he became even more angry for a while, picked up the teacup on the table, and threw it on the ground, "If you hire, you will be a wife, if you run, you will be a concubine. Our family does not invite matchmakers." Hiring, if you insist, you will only be a concubine."

The veins on Shen Yuran's head were popping, and his heart was pounding. Putting such insulting words on the woman he loved, anger and powerlessness came at the same time. He gritted his teeth, knelt down and kowtowed.

Shen's father thought that he had given in, "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and there is nothing good about it..."

Shen Yuran didn't listen to him, he stood up, turned around and walked out.

"Shen Yuran, stop for me. If you dare to go out of this door today, don't recognize us."

Shen Yuran's footsteps paused.

"Have you ignored your parents and family? That woman has stunned your mind."

Shen Yuran closed her eyes, didn't look back, and quickened her pace.

"Miss, Master Shen, please see me?"

Ah Fu was lying on the couch reading a book with his arms around the fat raccoon, when he heard this, he turned over irritatedly, and threw the blanket over his head angrily, "No."

She has been thinking about it for the past few days. No matter how she thinks about it, she feels that she is stupid and loses face because she doesn't know people. Fortunately, everyone doesn't know. If she told others before, this person would be even more embarrassed, so Very reluctant to see.

Xi Le didn't persuade her, and said, "Then I'll go back to Mr. Shen."

Ah Fu's voice was muffled in the blanket, "Wait...why didn't you persuade me?"

Ah Fu fell in love with the fire in autumn, and Ping An put a cup of chrysanthemum honey water on the small table, "Miss will see whoever she wants to see, and she will not see if she doesn't want to. Mr. Shen made Miss unhappy two days ago. I didn't let anyone put him away." It's all because of the young lady's face that she is kicked out."

Ah Fu grinned, and got out of the blanket, "I know peace and happiness are best for me, so I don't want to see each other." Ah Fu thought for a while, "But he will marry Wei Ting in the future, so we will meet anyway. , it will be even more embarrassing at that time, Wei Ting's temper... Let's clarify now."

She sat up and coaxed Fat Fox down, "Don't press the blanket, I won't be able to get out."

Instruct Pingan Xile, "Dress me up and change my clothes, and ask Mr. Shen to wait outside for a while."

"I've met Mr. Shen, but I don't know what's important to come here today?"

Ah Fu's attitude was too polite, Shen Yuran's heart trembled, she bent down to salute, and tried to smile to make Ah Fu happy, "Xiaosheng came here to apologize."

Ah Fu smiled faintly, "Master Shen, sit down. What are you talking about? Today, there is no one in my house. To prevent being rude, I have to entertain Master Shen. If Master Shen has something to do next time, please submit a post, my brother." must wait at home."

Shen Yuran's heart sank, and she called out in a daze, "Ah Fu..."

"Master Shen, it's better to call me Princess Anle."

Shen Yuran's expression was very pitiful, bewildered and cautious, like a pet thrown out by its owner, who somehow made a mistake and was abandoned.

Ah Fu knows that she is easy to be soft-hearted. She looks down on people who are procrastinating. Since Shen Yuran wants to be the princess, then the previous words will not count. Ah Fu is too lazy to settle accounts with him, just treat it as her own Misunderstood, just look for it again, she hates the most disconnected, so she made it clear that the two of them went their own way, but Shen Yuran put on such an expression, she Still feel a little sad, she looks down on herself like this.

"I don't have much to say. Congratulations to Mr. Shen. I wish Mr. Shen a happy family and a bright future."

"Ah Fu..."

Shen Yuran tried hard to stop the words, "I didn't, I didn't want Princess Shang, I didn't know her before, I..." He was a little shy, and still looked into Ah Fu's eyes, "I like you."

The most embarrassing things have been said, and it will be easier after that "I like you, I like you who call me a stupid scholar, I like you who smile, I like you who are kind."

Ah Fu is also a little confused, the plot is not right, the cheating scumbag asked for a good reunion, did you get the wrong script?
With the release of the words, Shen Yuran also gathered courage in his heart. His father's words were still in his ears, and Ah Fu could not be wronged. He made up his mind, took a step forward, hugged Ah Fu in his arms, and said affectionately.

"I marry you."

Ah, ah, ah?

Ah Fu deeply doubted whether he hadn't woken up, or had an auditory hallucination, isn't that right?

Shen Yuran proposed marriage, it seemed wrong, Shen Yuran asked to marry her, Ah Fu didn't know what kind of expression to put on, to be worthy of such a changeable plot.

As soon as the words came out, Shen Yuran calmed down. He rubbed Ah Fu's hair, "What? Are you stupid?"

"No? What do you mean?"

"I said I want to marry you." Shen Yuran said every word.

"I can get married."
