Chapter 144 Raking Ears
Shen Mingzhu was almost shocked to death by Wang Mang. She wanted to kick Wang Mang out and even more wanted to question her master why she said such irrelevant things to Wang Mang?
Master, what a joke! How could she teach Wang Mang such nonsense?
How could she get along with Wang Mang in the future? Could they still be friends?
What made Shen Mingzhu most speechless was that Wang Mang was only an eleven-year-old boy.
Although her body is only nine years old, her soul is already in her twenties!
Really, she didn't know what to say.
Finally, Shen Mingzhu thought of the right words and told Wang Mang that it was not what Wang Mang thought, nor what the Saint Aunt said.
They are just friends, there is no way they can be husband and wife, etc.
Shen Mingzhu talked a lot and Wang Mang said that he understood whatever Shen Mingzhu said.
In fact, Wang Mang had already decided in his heart that Shen Mingzhu was his young wife.
However, he was afraid of scaring Shen Mingzhu away, so he agreed to be friends with her.
It has to be said that Wang Mang, a cunning man, successfully deceived Shen Mingzhu.
Finally, Shen Mingzhu, holding a box of jewelry, gave Wang Mang a memory-enhancing pill and told Wang Mang that if he wanted to find her in the future, he didn't have to sit in front of the white fog and wait, but could just go past the white fog and find her there.
What Shen Mingzhu didn't notice was that when Wang Mang heard Shen Mingzhu tell him to cross the white fog and go to Shen Mingzhu's territory, a triumphant smile appeared on his face.
If Shen Mingzhu noticed this, she would definitely complain inwardly, how could children in ancient times be so cunning?
At this time, Shen Mingzhu just felt that she had made a fortune.
She ran back to her bedroom excitedly with a box of jewels in her arms, and poured all the treasures in the box onto the bed.
When she saw the glittering jewels, her eyes lit up and she exclaimed:
"He made a lot of money, he made a lot of money, Wang Mang is indeed a prince! He is so rich!"
At this time, the system's voice sounded again: "Ding, a large box of top-quality jewelry has been detected, which can be exchanged for 50,000 taels of gold. Host, do you want to exchange it?"
Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes and said, "I don't need money right now, why would I want to exchange it?"
She is a girl too, and she also likes these sparkling jewelry, okay?
Shen Mingzhu excitedly picked up two ruby bracelets and put them on her wrists, then picked up a ruby ring and put it on her middle finger, and then took out a string of plump, round, and very beautiful pearl necklaces and left the space.
This pearl necklace is very suitable for her mother and would be the best gift for her mother.
Shen Laosan originally planned to attend a banquet at the Zhang and Pang families, but after discussing with his four classmates, he felt that now was not a good time to attend the banquet.
Especially since Shen Laosan is the champion of this imperial examination and is currently in the limelight, it is better not to take any risks.
If Shen Lao San and the others went to the minister's house to attend a banquet, and if the emperor heard about it, he would suspect that they were forming cliques, that would be bad.
After all, the entire Daqian Dynasty belonged to the royal family, and no matter how high the official position of a minister was, he could not surpass the emperor.
Emperors have always been very suspicious, and the final ranking of the upcoming palace examination will still be decided by the emperor.
If they went to the banquet and the emperor found out, he would suspect that they had joined the army of some minister, and their future would be over.
Shen Lao San and his companions finally decided not to go anywhere, and the four of them also decided to stay at the Shen family before taking part in the palace examination.
They were all juren of the same year, participated in the same imperial examination, and were fellow villagers from the same place. They should work together and help each other in the officialdom in the future.
As for the other tribute scholars in Wanxian Prefecture who had already defected to other officials, they were automatically assigned to another camp.
Shen Laosan knew that his admission to Huiyuan would cause trouble, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome.
During this period, not only did officials come to the house with invitations and gifts, but there were even more than a dozen matchmakers who came to propose marriage.
Some people proposed marriage to Shen Mingshu, some proposed marriage to Shen Mingzhu, and some proposed marriage to the little brat Shen Mingbao. What is even more outrageous is that someone actually proposed marriage to Shen Laosan.
What is particularly speechless is that in order to squeeze in first and propose to Shen Lao San, the two matchmakers actually started fighting at the door.
When Mrs. Su saw this scene and heard the two matchmakers swearing at each other, she became furious and stared at Shen Lao San angrily.
Shen Laosan was frightened by his wife's glare and hurried forward to explain.
He didn't know what was going on. How could he marry another woman when he had such a virtuous, beautiful and capable wife?
Su grabbed Shen Lao San's ear and asked angrily:
"Tell me, who are you going to marry?"
"Ouch! Wife, be gentle, it hurts."
Su was really angry and used a lot of force. She pulled Shen Laosan's ear so hard that it hurt. Shen Laosan begged for mercy, "Ouch, ouch."
Shen Lao San and Su's action stunned everyone.
Especially the two matchmakers at the door and the people brought by the matchmakers to propose marriage, were all stunned, looking at Shen Lao San who was being pulled by Su's ears, their jaws almost dropped in surprise.
Old Man Shen heard the noise outside and just came to the yard when he saw this shocking scene.
Old man Shen opened his mouth in surprise. Wasn't his daughter-in-law always gentle? Why did she grab her son's ears in public?
How will my son face people in the future?
Just as Old Man Shen was about to yell, he felt someone pulling his sleeve.
Old man Shen turned around and saw that it was Shen Mingzhu. When he saw Shen Mingzhu shaking her head at him, he stopped talking.
Shen Laosan felt his ears really hurt, and he knew that his wife was really angry.
In order to appease his wife, Shen Lao San explained in a crying voice:
"Wife, I really didn't know they would do this. How could I possibly marry another woman? Even taking a concubine is out of the question."
Seeing that Su was unmoved, Shen Lao San hurriedly assured:
"Everyone knows that I am a henpecked man who is afraid of his wife. I dare not even look at other women."
When Shen Lao San said that, everyone at the scene was stunned. Even the classmates who were hiding behind the window, such as Tang Ren, were stunned with shock.
Seeing that Su's hand had loosened a little, Shen Lao San continued to assure Su:
"Wife, I, Shen Ruhai, swear to heaven that in this life, no, in all my lives, I, Shen Ruhai, will only marry you, Su Baoer, as my wife."
"I, Shen Ruhai, want to be alone with my partner for the rest of my life. No one else should think of disturbing us as a couple."
Seeing that Shen Lao San was very sincere, Su thought the warning he gave was enough.
She snorted coldly, glanced at the people at the door, and walked into the main room in a haughty manner.
Shen Laosan covered his ears in grievance and shouted irritably at the two stunned teams at the door:
"Did you hear me? I, Shen Ruhai, swear to be with you for the rest of my life. I will never marry again, let alone take a concubine. You all go back!"
"Report to your master the fact that my wife punished me today."
"Oh, and tell your master not to think of any crooked ways. Anyone who dares to hurt my family will be like this big rock."
As soon as Shen Laosan finished speaking, he walked to the big stone on the rockery at the door in front of everyone's eyes and chopped the rockery with his palm.
With a loud bang, the rockery turned into ashes in an instant.
"Cough cough cough" the matchmaker and the marriage proposal team at the door were choked by the dust and kept coughing, and were terrified.
Oh my god! What kind of people are this family? The women are fierce and the men are so scary!
The matchmaker and the marriage proposal team ran away as if they were being chased by wild dogs.
Old Third Shen glanced outside the door with a gloomy face, and seeing that everyone had left, he put on an aggrieved look and went to coax his wife.
Tang Ren and his companions stared at Shen Lao San walking away, stunned.
They never imagined that Brother Shen was so afraid of his wife. What shocked them even more was that Brother Shen, a weak scholar, actually had such great strength.
Could it be that Brother Shen, in addition to studying, also knows martial arts?
Old Third Shen was trying to please his wife by licking her face, but what he didn't know was that people outside had already spread rumors about him being a henpecked man who was extremely afraid of his wife, and about Su being a she-devil with a burly appearance and rude manners.
