Shen Qingli is a very typical boudoir woman, and the promise of being together for the rest of her life is really very important to her.
She was born in Kyoto and grew up in Kyoto. She was used to seeing men have three wives and four concubines. No matter how reputable a young man is, there will always be a day when he wants to take a concubine.
Therefore, she had never heard of anyone making such a promise to their future wife.
But now, Su Jing said the same in the letter, and even Su Wan said the same.
In fact, it is good that he is willing to give himself such a promise. At least she can still hear it in this life. Compared with others, it is already much better.
Even though her father and mother had such a good relationship, in the end, his father still married two concubines and gave them children.
Therefore, Shen Qingli never expected her future husband to love her forever.
If Su Jing could do his best, even if he couldn't, she wouldn't blame him.
"Sister Wanwan, I am willing to wait for him. I thought it was wishful thinking, but now it seems that the grievances I have suffered are all worth it." Shen Qingli held her hand and said.
After getting to know Su Wan, I learned that last winter, it was rumored that Miss Shen San was ill. In fact, it was not a serious illness at all, just a cold infection.
At that time, Prince Xiang's palace was already preparing to propose marriage to her family, so she threatened her mother and father to act with her and refused to marry Prince Xiang's son.
She directly told the bachelor that she already had a sweetheart, and if she was forced to marry him again, she would kill him.
She was the only unmarried daughter in the family, and the only legitimate daughter, so the bachelor felt very sorry for Shen Qingli.
Seeing his daughter threatening her with death, there was nothing he could do.
The bachelor's wife found an opportunity to ask her daughter who she really liked. After many rounds of lies, she found out that her daughter liked Su Jing, the number one scholar.
Moreover, there was no commitment between the two, it was all the daughter's wishful thinking.
This can put Mrs. Shen in a big trouble. Su Jing is indeed both beautiful and talented. It would be a good choice to be her husband. Their family doesn't care about any family background, and it is good to have potential.
However, Su Jing was transferred to the water command of Xuanhe City after high school. It was a hard job, and if it lasted only three to five years, she might not be able to return to the capital.
The daughter has already reached the age of marriage. If she delays it for another two years, she will become an old girl and will be laughed at if word spreads.
However, it would be fine if we waited, but if it was wishful thinking and we found out that Su Zhuangyuan had already married during this period, we couldn't let their daughters be given birth to others, right?
Mrs. Shen tried her best to persuade Shen Qingli, but she still couldn't convince Shen Qingli. In desperation, she had to discuss it with the bachelor.
When the bachelor heard that it was Su Jing, he himself fell silent. He had been attracted to Su Jing from the beginning and wanted him to be his son-in-law. After understanding his character and knowing that he was a potential stock, he let his daughter go. Communicate with him.
Unexpectedly, this boy won the top prize in high school for his essay on water control, and was highly appreciated by the emperor. Even he had to admire his literary talents.
But then he was given the title of Capital Water Order and transferred to a harsh place like Xuanhe. He couldn't just watch his daughter follow him to that place and endure hardships, right?
Although the great scholar is full of talents in this life, he also has selfish motives as a parent. The so-called parents' beloved son has far-reaching plans.
With Su Jing gone, it's fine for two or three years, but what if it's four or five years? What about seven or eight years?
Although the strategy is well written, it will be difficult to implement it. Otherwise, floods in Xuanhe River have been so rampant throughout the ages and so many capable people have not been able to overcome it.
It would not be easy to accept this thousand-year achievement. He did not dare to bet on his daughter's life.
It's a pity that fate has played a trick on people, and his stupid daughter still fell into it. After thinking about it, the bachelor finally decided to follow his daughter's wishes and give her two years.
If she can't figure it out, he will think of a way when the time comes, and the daughter of the bachelor will not really be unable to get married. Even if it is a low marriage, with his master's residence, she will not be wronged.
But if she figured it out and found another good son-in-law, that would be the best. He wouldn't be willing to give it up anyway, so it would be better if she stayed for two more years.
Therefore, the Grand Scholar's Office spread the news to the outside world, saying that Miss Shen San was lingering on the sickbed and her body was weak, so she could only be raised in a boudoir and would not talk about marriage for the time being.
In the ancient times of feudal superstition, the only important thing for a woman to marry into her husband's family was to support her husband, raise her children, and carry on the family line.
A delicate and frail daughter-in-law was brought into the house, and it was difficult for her to have children, so for this reason, she blocked many people who wanted to come to propose marriage.
Su Wan was almost moved to death when she learned about Shen Qingli's efforts for her eldest brother.
She had wronged herself and ruined her reputation just to wait for her eldest brother. She admired this kind of love that went both ways.
Originally, the bachelor thought that she couldn't just stay at home every day and not go anywhere, but he didn't expect that his daughter really had that ability and never left the house.
"Sister Shen, I have really wronged you. Don't worry, my eldest brother only has two years at most. He will definitely be able to return to Kyoto."
Su Wan also knew that two years was still too unfair for Shen Qingli, but sometimes love is selfish. This is not a big deal, right?
With the elder brother's ability, he will definitely be able to do it.
"As long as Su Lang doesn't let me down, I will definitely not let him down. I will wait no matter how long it takes!" Shen Qingli's eyes were very firm.
In the future, I must make up for Sister Shen well.
When Su Wan came this time, she didn't just bring her eldest brother's token. She also brought gifts herself.
She brought two bottles of ice cream and two boxes of goat milk soap.
"Sister Shen, this ice muscle jade bone ointment is the most popular and fashionable skin care product in my hometown of Xiangzhou. I heard that it is very good after using it. It can make the skin white, tender and delicate for a long time. It is winter in Kyoto and the weather is cold and dry. You can definitely use it. on.
There are also these goat milk soaps, which are all made at home. I don’t know what kind of fragrance you like, so I brought some of various fragrances. These are used when bathing. After washing, your body will smell delicious. , these can be used to wash hair, much easier to use than soap locust and aloe vera. "
Shen Qingli heard from Su Jing that the goat milk soap made by his sister was very useful. Since Su Wan gave it to her, she must accept it generously.
"Thank you, sister Wanwan, for thinking of me in everything. I also brought you a gift, but I don't know what you like. I came to see you and prepared in a hurry. Don't dislike it."
Shen Qingli didn't have much time to prepare gifts. She was anxious to know why Su Wan came to see her, so she hurriedly made an appointment to meet.
She gave Su Wan a pair of jade bracelets, made of mutton-fat jade, which were given to her by the Empress when she was pregnant with hairpins. They were also very weighty and sincere, expressing her importance and welcome to Su Wan.
The most important thing about a gift is the heartfelt gift. This was given by the Empress, and it was a timely gift. It was also very valuable to Shen Qingli. But her willingness to give it to Su Wan showed that she really liked Su Jing, so she loved Wu Jiwu and also attached great importance to it. The relatives around him.
