A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Chen's mother also said, "Jun'er, you are so confused! You have studied for so many years and finally passed the imperial examination. You need help right now. How can you marry a peasant girl? What can a peasant girl do for you?"

Chen Shijun disagreed and said, "Dad, Mom, I know you are all doing this for my own good. Don't worry, even if I become an official, I will fight for a good future with my own efforts. I don't want to use my marriage as a stepping stone. I just want to marry a woman I like."

Father Chen felt that he and his wife had protected their son too well. Although their family was not wealthy, they had never let their son suffer. Apart from studying, they had basically never let him do anything, so their son's ideas became too naive!

He advised: "Jun'er, do you think you can succeed by passing the imperial examination? It's not that simple! Our family has no background, and you will be powerless and difficult to be an official!

Lord Chu is willing to marry into our family, which means we are marrying above our station. How can you act on impulse?"

Chen Shijun was silent. He knew that he couldn't explain it to his parents all at once, so he decided not to talk about it today. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would quarrel with his parents. However, he would find a way to reject the marriage with the Chu family.

Mother Chen did not give him any chance and said, "I will go to the Chu family tomorrow to settle your marriage. As for the peasant girl, forget it. She is not worthy of you!"

Chen Shijun didn't expect his parents to be so determined! From childhood to adulthood, as long as he insisted on something, his parents would eventually agree to it. Why didn't they agree this time?

"Dad, Mom, Yingzi saved my life. I really want to marry her. Please agree to it! I promise that after this incident, I will listen to you in everything from now on!"

Father Chen was a little angry. He didn't know what kind of vixen had seduced his son into this! He said, "She saved you, we just need to give her some compensation. Do you still need her to marry you?"

Mother Chen seemed to remember something and said, "Jun'er, you said before that she saved you on the way there and back. Could it be that you two have been together all the time?"

Chen Shijun quickly explained, "No, mother. I just happened to meet her on the way there. She was not alone at the time. It was her and two other girls who worked together to save me. That's how we got to know each other.

When we came back, her boss happened to be in Beijing for business, and brought her along, so we were traveling together. I never thought we would be ambushed again on the way, and at the critical moment, she saved me again. "

Chen Shijun was telling the truth, but Chen's mother sensed a conspiracy. She narrowed her eyes and analyzed, "Jun'er, you were deceived by that scheming woman! The first time they saved you, it might have been a coincidence, but later, they returned to Beijing with you. If that wasn't intentional approach, how could it be?

This is clearly their conspiracy, taking advantage of your innocence to seduce you, hoping to become a phoenix! Jun'er, I've seen many girls like this, you can't fall for her, can you? "

Chen Shijun heard his mother's words getting more and more outrageous, and tried his best to defend himself: "Mom, Yingzi is not that kind of person. She is really a good girl. Your son is not a fool!"

Father Chen felt that Mother Chen's analysis made sense. Seeing his son protecting that woman of unknown origin, he simply gave a death order.

"No matter what kind of person she is, there is no doubt that she is of low status. Therefore, your mother and I will not agree to you marrying her, so just give up on this idea!"

Seeing his parents' firm attitude, Chen Shijun felt deeply powerless.

He walked back to his room tiredly and fell on the bed, with Yingzi's bright face in his mind. Was he really going to give up Yingzi and marry a woman he had never met?

No! Absolutely not. He must fight for it! If his parents couldn't get it, he would go and talk to Lord Chu, cancel the marriage first, and then slowly find a way to make his parents accept Yingzi.

The next morning, Chen Shijun went out to find out where Lord Chu lived and waited at his door.

An hour later, Chu Heng came back in his official uniform. Chen Shijun guessed that he must have just returned from court.

"Greetings, Lord Chu!"

Chen Shijun took two quick steps and came in front of Chu Heng with a respectful attitude.

Chu Heng recognized Chen Shijun immediately after just one look. This was the son-in-law he personally selected. He had no idea how many times he had secretly observed this third place winner!

"Chen Shijun, why are you here?"

Chu Heng asked. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and said with a smile: "Oh, do you want to come and see my Yuyao? I didn't expect you to be so anxious!"

Hearing this, Chen Shijun showed an embarrassed expression. He coughed twice and said uncomfortably: "No, Lord Chu, actually, I came to..."

"Hey, don't be embarrassed, I understand. Since you are here, come in and sit down. If you have anything to say, let's talk inside the mansion."

Before Chen Shijun could finish his words, Chu Heng interrupted him and enthusiastically invited him in.

Chen Shijun came to reject this marriage, how could he dare to go in? He swallowed his saliva and said quickly: "Master Chu, I won't go in. I came here today to apologize to Master Chu. I, I can't marry your lady, I'm afraid I will disappoint Master Chu's kindness."

Chen Shijun said everything he wanted to say in one breath and let out a sigh of relief.

Chu Heng restrained his smile, looked at Chen Shijun with a gloomy face, and slowly said: "Why, Chen Tanhua thinks my daughter is not worthy of you?"

Chen Shijun quickly explained: "No, that's not it, Lord Chu, I am not worthy of such a family as the Chu Mansion.

only…"

Chen Shijun looked at Chu Heng's face which was gradually getting colder and decided to tell the truth.

"Master Chu, I went out to do some work this time and met a woman I liked on the way. I promised her that I would marry her. So if I agree to marry Miss Chu again, it would be unfair to Miss Chu. I hope Master Chu will understand."

Hearing him say this, Chu Heng couldn't help but think of his past. His expression softened, he laughed, and said, "So that's the reason. Since she's the girl that Chen Tanhua likes, you can just take her as a concubine. Our Yuyao isn't a jealous person."

"what?"

Chen Shijun was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect Lord Chu to say that!

He thought that Lord Chu would be angry and annoyed at him for not knowing how to appreciate his kindness; he also thought that Lord Chu would understand him and agree not to marry him, but he did not expect Lord Chu to make such a suggestion!

Become a concubine? No! That would be a disgrace to Yingzi. Besides, Yingzi wouldn't agree to it!

Before Chen Shijun could figure out how to explain to Chu Heng, Chu Heng spoke again: "I can probably guess what you are thinking, but, as a man, your future is far more important than love, so think about it carefully!

That’s all I have to say today. We can talk again when you have thought it through.”

After saying this, Chu Heng left him and went into the Chu Mansion.

Chen Shijun stood there in a daze for a moment before leaving with mixed feelings.
