Wen Shichu drove Shi Ru away and warned him not to rush to Wuyang Hou Mansion to propose marriage to her, otherwise she would not agree to develop a relationship with him in the future.
Shi Ru had no choice but to urge Wen Shichu to leave the Wuyang Hou Mansion earlier. Then he returned to his general's house in frustration, and then told the housekeeper dejectedly: "There is no need to find a matchmaker tomorrow."
The housekeeper was shocked: "Why? General, you finally have the girl you want to marry, why don't you propose marriage?"
"Oh, she asked me to wait, saying that now is not the right time to propose marriage to her." Shi Ru sighed and said, didn't he want to marry his wife back earlier? It’s just that my wife doesn’t agree.
"Then when is the right time? I have to prepare the gift for the marriage proposal early." The housekeeper asked quickly. He was afraid that the cooked duck would fly away and the girl his general had finally fallen in love with would run away.
"In a month," Shi Ru said, "By the way, go and find out what the girl's family likes? I can prepare more for her..."
He used to dislike women for being too pretentious and meddlesome, and they always had wishful thinking about him, so there were no female slaves in the general's mansion. Now, no one wanted to ask about the girl's favorite things.
But no one asked, so he could just ask Wen Shichu directly! She doesn't allow herself to go to her at night, so she can do it during the day, right? Shi Ru's eyes lit up when he thought of this.
Wen Shichu didn't know that Shi Ru had so much on his mind, and he even learned to play games with her. Now she met Wu Yanghou's third brother, a playboy who had accomplished nothing and only relied on his family.
She never knew that she was so popular. In addition to Shi Ru, Wu Yanghou's third brother Li Shouyang also fell in love with her.
Wen Shichu met Li Shouyang by the lotus pond in the backyard. Li Shouyang was in his thirties and was carefree. He came to the backyard for some reason and saw Wen Shichu sitting in the pavilion by the pond with a few books. Then he narrowed his eyes and asked the maid behind him: "Who is that girl sitting in the pavilion? Why haven't I seen her before?"
Hearing this, the maid looked into the pavilion, recognized Wen Shichu, and replied in a low voice: "Go back to Third Master, that is the tutoring aunt invited by the house to teach several girls the etiquette and rules, her surname is Wen."
"Teaching aunt? She still looks like a girl? Not married?" Li Shouyang asked when he saw that Wen Shichu wore his hair in a bun like that of an unmarried girl.
When the maid heard this, her heart suddenly thumped. This third master of hers was so beautiful and lustful. Although the old lady and her eldest brother Wu Yanghou were suppressing him, he was not allowed to cause any scandal, but the beauties in his backyard were not. Young Master, he has always liked the new and dislikes the old, but now he has always been attracted to Aunt Wen.
Wen Shichu was twenty-five years old. Although she was no longer young in the eyes of people of this era, she was actually at the peak of her physical condition at this time, mature and beautiful enough, and behaved like a young girl. She has no charm and charm, and Li Sanye, who has read Qianfan, can naturally tell at a glance that she is a top-notch beauty.
"Third Master, Aunt Wen only came out of the palace a few months ago, so she probably didn't have time to resolve life-long matters." The maid had good intentions and wanted to mention that Wen Shichu came out of the palace, which made Li Shouyang a little scrupulous, but she absolutely Unexpectedly, Li Shouyang became even more satisfied after hearing her words, and said confidently:
"It turns out that she came from the palace. It's really pitiful. She is all alone at such an old age and has no place to live. Fortunately, Third Master, I am a compassionate person, so I took her in and let her have a place to live and settle down!"
After hearing this, the maid was dumbfounded and extremely anxious. Wen Shichu had a very good relationship with servants like them and did not treat them as slaves, so she didn't want to see Wen Shichu fall into the hands of Li Shouyang, but it was a pity that she was not in time yet. What to do, Li Shouyang had already walked up to Wen Shichu.
"Miss Wen, what are you doing here? Reading? You are so beautiful and smart." Li Shouyang said to Wen Shichu, waving his fan and looking cool.
Wen Shichu frowned. She had a good memory and recognized who the person in front of her was. She endured the impatience in her heart, bowed to him and said, "I just read some books to relax. The third master is coming to Lotus." Do you want to enjoy the scenery? Then I'll go down first so as not to disturb the third master's interest."
As she said her jewelry, she was about to leave. If she stayed with this pervert for one more second, she would doubt her innocence.
"Hey, don't leave in a hurry! The scenery here is so beautiful, why don't you stay and enjoy it with me!" Li Shouyang said with a smile, trying to persuade Wen Shichu to stay.
Hearing this, Shichu's face turned cold and he said: "The third master is joking, how can I stay and enjoy the scenery with him? Please don't say anything that could cause misunderstanding. It doesn't matter if it ruins my reputation. I'm afraid that there will be rumors about Wu." The master of Yanghou Mansion uses his power to bully others."
What she said was very rude, but Li Shouyang was very tolerant of the beauty's anger, and said very nonchalantly: "Why should Miss Wen be so indifferent to me? I didn't invite you because I was afraid that I would delay the girl from enjoying the scenery when I came here." Did you stay to reward me together? You have misunderstood me..."
"It doesn't matter whether you misunderstood or not. I'm not suitable to stay here alone with the third master. I'm leaving!" Wen Shichu didn't argue with him and left quickly, letting Li Shouyang call after him and ignore her footsteps. Come on, how can Li Shouyang, a dandy who has emptied his body, catch up?
However, after the beauty left, Li Shouyang did not give up his thoughts about Wen Shichu. He actually ran directly to his sister-in-law, Mrs. Wu Yanghou, and told her that she wanted to take Wen Shichu as his concubine.
Mrs. Wu Yanghou couldn't believe her ears and couldn't help but ask again: "What did you say?"
"Sister-in-law, I want to marry Aunt Wen, so please help me!" Li Shouyang said with a smile, without any shame.
"That's the aunt who raised your nieces!" The veins on Mrs. Wu Yanghou's forehead kept jumping, and she squeezed out a sentence through her teeth.
"I know, but what does it matter? She is the best in knowledge, ethics, and etiquette. She must be very law-abiding. Isn't she suitable to be included in the palace? There is no need to worry about her ambitions and making my backyard a mess." Li Shouyang was careless. He said, and then shamelessly added, "It just so happens that she can also teach my concubines the rules and teach me to be obedient and peaceful. Isn't this just killing two birds with one stone?"
"You don't have to think about it. Aunt Wen is from the palace. If she wants to get married, she won't look down on you at all. You still want someone to be your concubine? What a beautiful idea!" Mrs. Hou snorted. Said, although she didn't know why Wen Shichu didn't want to get married, she knew that it was impossible for a woman like that to be a concubine. Judging from her usual behavior, she was generous, neat, and reasonable. How could such a person be willing to be trapped in a corner? Are you jealous of others? What's more, Li Shouyang is worthless, and he only fell in love with him when he heard that Shichu was blind.
