Therefore, Shen Shouzheng dared to conclude that in the next few decades, the Hai family's official resources would probably be used on Sheng Changbai for his growth.
Although Sheng Changfeng had the worst qualifications among the brothers and failed to pass the examination, he was very talented and had gained a lot of fame in poetry. Therefore, Shen Shouzheng also felt that he was a talent.
After all, if compared with one of them, Shen Li is really far inferior!
There is no other way, Sheng Changfeng is now a civil servant.
As for the last Sheng Changquan, he was the guy Shen Shouzheng valued the most.
After all, only Sheng Changquan has the best relationship with and the deepest involvement in the Shen family. Moreover, among the three Sheng family brothers, only Sheng Changquan has the best qualifications. Shen Shouzheng is also the most optimistic about his future prospects!
"Uncle Shen is ridiculous, but in fact, brother Shendu is also very good. Among the peers that Chang Quan knows, only brother Shendu is the most self-disciplined and the most diligent in studying!"
"At this point, even if you have the power, you are ashamed of yourself!"
Sheng Changquan shook his head guiltily and praised Shen Li very highly.
In fact, to be honest, in terms of hard work, Shen Li is not as good as Sheng Changquan.
After all, in addition to studying, Sheng Changquan also practices martial arts. The combination of the two is more difficult than Shen Li.
However, Shen Li's attitude towards studying was extremely serious. Considering his qualifications, being able to obtain the title of scholar already shows how hard he worked.
"well!"
When Shen Shouzheng heard what Sheng Changquan said, he immediately sighed secretly in his heart.
He looked at Shen Li who was blushing next to him, smiled, and said: "Li'er's qualifications are not good, and only by putting in some effort in this area can we gain something!"
"yes!"
Shen Li blushed and felt a little ashamed: "My son has disappointed his father!"
Shen Shouzheng waved his hand and said to Shen Li: "Li'er, you don't need to blame yourself. I am very satisfied as a father to have come this far!"
After saying such words of relief, Shen Shouzheng didn't want to say anything more in this regard. He turned his head and said to Sheng Changquan: "Changquan, I heard from Li'er, are you planning to take part in this year's autumn examination?"
Because he had excellent senses for Sheng Changquan, Shen Shouzheng couldn't help but change his names to make the two of them appear closer.
"Yes, Uncle Shen!"
Sheng Changquan didn't hide it. He was even shocked and secretly thinking happily: "Finally, this matter is mentioned!"
He straightened his back, looked at Shen Shouzheng with piercing eyes, and said sincerely: "Actually, in addition to wanting to fulfill the etiquette of the two families, Chang Quan met with you this time, and there were also some small things. thought!"
"hehe!"
Shen Shouzheng smiled and stroked his beard, but he didn't take Sheng Changquan's "confession" seriously. He even secretly glanced at his nervous son next to him and shook his head quietly.
"What do you have to worry about, silly boy? Do you still think your father and I will refuse?"
Shen Shouzheng was also a little helpless about Shen Li's thoughts.
In his opinion, Shen Li, a child, is always a little dull and not smooth enough. It is precisely because of this that Shen Shouzheng feels a little worried.
"Chang Quan, whatever is on your mind, just say it."
Shen Shouzheng turned his head, looked at Sheng Changquan and asked with a smile.
In fact, Shen Shouzheng had already seen Sheng Changquan's thoughts. However, since he had to consider repaying the favor, it would be better for Sheng Changquan to speak out about it himself.
Sure enough, under Shen Li's nervous eyes, Sheng Changquan expressed his thoughts.
"Uncle Yahan!"
Sheng Changquan went a step further without revealing his expression, and directly addressed him as "uncle": "Actually, Changquan came to visit this time just to ask uncle for some advice!"
As Sheng Changquan spoke, he took out a stack of papers from his arms.
The above are all answers written by Sheng Changquan himself based on the questions in previous years' provincial examinations.
He held these things in both hands, presented them in front of Shen Shouzheng, and respectfully asked for advice: "Uncle, this is written by Chang Quan, please read it!"
…
While Sheng Changquan and others were talking to each other in the front hall, a heart-to-heart talk between mother and daughter was also taking place in the boudoir on the other side of the Shen Mansion.
The eldest lady of the Shen family, Shen Li's mother, took her girl's hand and said in a more solemn tone: "Jun'er!"
"The past three years have been really hard on you!"
In Shen Jun's boudoir, the eldest lady of the Shen family and Shen Jun's mother and daughter were sitting on the Xiangfei chair, leaning against each other.
And every time the eldest lady of the Shen family thinks about the three years her daughter spent in Sanqing Temple, she can't help but shed tears, and she feels even more pity for her in her heart!
She would even continue to complain about her own officials.
In the eyes of the eldest lady of the Shen family, Shen Jun's three years of praying for blessings were actually useless. As far as the officials were concerned, he didn't pay much attention to this matter at all. It was Shen Shouzheng who insisted on doing this and insisted on doing something wrong. Shen Jun must be sent to the Taoist temple.
At that time, among the entire Shen family, except for Shen Li who stood with her and opposed sending Shen Jun away, Shen Shouzheng and Shen Jun themselves were in favor of this matter. It was precisely because of this that Shen Jun Only the eldest lady would reluctantly agree.
"Mom, don't do this!"
Shen Jun was very sensible and knew the reason why the Shen family did this.
Although the officials were kind-hearted, they might not keep this matter in mind, but as ministers, the Shen family could not remain indifferent, so this move was justified.
However, the motherly heart of the eldest lady of the Shen family also left Shen Jun speechless. Therefore, she could only express her heartfelt comfort at the moment and say nothing else.
After all, the eldest lady of the Shen family really couldn't figure it out. In her simple mind, the officials were magnanimous people and would not take these little things to heart. What she saw and believed would always be How others behave on the outside.
Shen Jun took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully on the face of the eldest lady of the Shen family. At the same time, he also said: "Mom, actually, my daughter has gained nothing in the past three years."
"Mom, look, this is what my daughter has achieved in the past three years!"
Shen Jun smiled as he took out an embroidered handkerchief from behind and showed it to the eldest lady of the Shen family: "Mom, look, this double-sided embroidery is the skill my daughter has learned over the years."
"This embroidery skill, my daughter figured it out from the great master's embroidery work!"
The eldest lady of the Shen family took the embroidered handkerchief handed over by her daughter and looked at it intently.
I saw that this flawless white silk scarf was embroidered with a gorgeous picture of flowers in a variety of colors.
Among them, red, yellow, blue, green, purple... dozens of colorful and stunning flowers are all blooming on the silk surface. All kinds of flowers, branches, leaves, etc. are all as they should be. The objects are all realistically embroidered on it, making people look at them as real.
At the same time, not to mention, those flowers all have their own postures and are different from each other.
"Ah! Jun'er, did you embroider this?"
The eldest lady of the Shen family turned over the embroidered handkerchief in her hand in shock, with surprise on her face!
You must know that this kind of embroidery method belongs to the Jiangnan Su embroidery family. The secret of the Su family is not passed down. Their embroiderers are all adopted since childhood. After many years of training and a lot of practice, they can learn from hundreds of people. Reluctantly, she cultivated a master embroiderer.
As for the great master embroiderer, it is rare. Only by chance can one appear among the master embroiderers of a certain generation.
At the moment, the great master in Shen Jun's words refers to the Su family embroiderer of this generation, the great master embroiderer named "Chanjuan".
Speaking of which, the Su family was originally a cloth merchant in Jiangning City on Jiangnan Road. However, because their family was very diligent in research, they invented many unique things in cloth embroidery. Therefore, after nearly a hundred years of development, , their family is now a big cloth merchant in the Jiangnan area.
There are even some works by the Jiangning Su family in the palace, and their products are expected to become tributes in recent years, making the Su family a royal merchant.
Once they obtain the status of Royal Merchant, their family will make a qualitative leap, and it will be possible for the Su family to develop faster!
However, according to rumors, the Su family seems to be in a bit of trouble at the moment, and there seems to be some problems and uncertainty about the next generation of their family's successor.
But, back to the subject, the great master Shen Jun was referring to was the great master "Chanjuan" of the Su family.
"Yes, mother!"
Seeing that the eldest lady of the Shen family had returned to normal, Shen Jun hurriedly continued the topic to prevent her from recalling the previous things again.
"Actually, this embroidered handkerchief is just a work I experimented with before. I am currently embroidering a double-sided screen. In the future, I can give it to my brother for his wedding!"
Shen Jun pointed to a screen in the room and explained to the eldest lady of the Shen family.
"Li'er getting married?"
Hearing this sentence, the eldest lady of the Shen family's expression changed, but she suddenly remembered what Shen Li had said to her yesterday.
"That's right, Jun'er!"
The eldest lady of the Shen family reached out and grabbed Shen Jun, who was about to show her work, and asked, "What are your thoughts on your lifelong events?"
"Have you ever considered your future husband in your heart?"
Speaking of which, the eldest lady of the Shen family is quite an open-minded person. Regarding Shen Jun's marriage, she did not say anything about her parents' orders. Instead, she communicated with Shen Jun first to see what she thought. .
"ah?"
"Mom, you... what are you... talking about?"
Shen Jun did not expect that the eldest lady of the Shen family would be so active in her thoughts, and she would jump to this point all of a sudden.
She blushed and stammered: "Daughter... daughter... I haven't thought about it yet... I haven't thought about this yet..."
At this time, Shen Jun also lost his usual calmness. He stood there with an embarrassed and shy face, not daring to move. The beauty on his face was like a lot of rouge, and he seemed to be red. Fire clouds in the sky.
For a moment, it was quite pretty.
"hehe!"
Seeing her girl like this, the eldest lady of the Shen family couldn't help but laugh.
"Jun'er, what else are you embarrassed about in front of mother?"
The eldest lady of the Shen family pulled Shen Jun back, helped her sit back on the Xiang Fei chair, and said with a smile on her face: "Jun'er, Mom is from here, we are from the girl's family, how could we not have thought about this? ?”
…
(Change first and then change)
…
"Mother~"
Hearing Lady Shen speak like this, Shen Jun's face became even more rosy.
However, after all, they were mother and daughter. Under Mrs. Shen's earnest gaze, Shen Jun hesitated for a while and then followed her strength and sat back on the chair again.
"Jun'er, what exactly are you thinking?"
Seeing her daughter sitting down, Mrs. Shen also saw what Shen Jun meant and couldn't help but ask: "What are your plans for your future?"
Shen Jun blushed, but did not answer immediately. After a long time, he replied hesitantly: "Mom, in fact, my daughter didn't think too much."
"After all, girls from the Shen family must pay attention to their parents' orders and the matchmaker's words."
Shen Jun blinked his big eyes, flickering at his own mother, and said reluctantly: "Mom, does my daughter have any other choice?"
"Can I find my husband by myself?"
Shen Jun used retreat to advance and expressed his expectations.
It's a pity that Mrs. Shen has already been warned in advance by Mr. Shen in this regard. Although the two old men also feel sorry for their daughter, in this regard, they cannot help her as a little girl. claim.
The old couple must personally intervene and check the situation. At most, they can ask Shen Jun for his opinion at the beginning, but generally speaking, Mrs. Shen and his wife still have to make the final decision.
Of course, this means that Master Shen will make the decision on Shen Jun’s marriage!
After all, Mrs. Shen's ears are relatively soft, so there is no way to win over Mrs. Shen.
Therefore, after Shen Jun asked this question, Mrs. Shen shook her head firmly and directly cut off her hope: "Jun'er, this is impossible!"
"Your father has told me a long time ago. He said that other things can be forgotten, but your marriage to Li'er must be personally checked by him. You, don't expect so much!"
As soon as Mrs. Shen said these words, Shen Jun was a little disappointed, but to be honest, she was not disappointed for long, because she had already expected this.
"mother!"
Shen Jun looked at Mrs. Shen aggrievedly, his voice was very low.
"Then what else do you want to ask your daughter? Anyway, isn't it your two elders who make the final decision on your daughter's marriage?"
"In the end, my daughter can't make her own decision, so why bother asking me?"
Shen Jun's voice became lower and lower, and in the end, it was almost hard to hear clearly.
"Alas~"
Mrs. Shen couldn't help but sigh slightly when she saw this.
However, although Mrs. Shen felt pity in her heart, she did not expect to let Shen Jun get his wish.
After all, the Shen family, the most traditional family, would not let their girls act so "boldly"!
