Chapter 1649

Shi Chengxuan didn't believe it. His son was the most talented person in the capital, and his daughter was one in a million, so how could he, as a father, be bad?

Shi Chengxuan had already wasted a lot of paper and ink in writing less than a paragraph. That was not a big deal, there were many words he did not know how to write, so he used circles to replace them.

Chang Wu was speechless, "Sir, why don't you go to the academy to learn to read first? Only when you can recognize all the characters can you write, right?"

Shi Chengxuan glared at him and said, "How can I, a graduate of the Imperial Academy, not be able to recognize all the characters? I'm testing you."

Chang Wu continued to grind the ink, looking sad, "Sir, why don't you go out for a drink?"

You don't know how many days you have been in the Hanlin Academy? You are not good at reading and writing!

Shi Chengxuan and Wen Mao fell in love, and Wen was helpless.

In fact, Shi Chengyi, the eldest of the Shi family, was not having a good time either. After the farce, he was always worried that Yu Sujun would ask for a divorce from him.

After all, Lady Sesshū is powerful enough and can live well without his protection.

Shi Chengyi didn't want to divorce, and even thought of the wording of several plans. But Yu Sujun went home and just worked on the draft, without any emotional fluctuations, and didn't even mention the farce that happened that day.

It was as if nothing had happened, not even a harsh word.

As Yu Sujun became more busy, she gradually handed over the miscellaneous affairs of the mansion to her aunt Dingxiang.

Dingxiang is honest and dutiful, and is always grateful for the mistress's kindness. She is careful and thoughtful in her work and keeps the house in order.

Yu Sujun was able to have free time to concentrate on painting.

It is really much more difficult for women to achieve success than men.

If a man is busy, he can ignore other things. But if a woman is busy and the house is in a mess, she will be criticized for not doing her job properly.

The good thing is that Su Jun doesn’t have this worry, Ding Xiang is someone who can take on responsibilities.

For this reason, Yu Sujun increased Dingxiang's monthly salary and changed the name of her concubine Shi Zhiyu according to her generational character to Shi Anyu.

She also carefully selected a marriage partner for Shi Anyu, a failed scholar from a wealthy family.

The scholar was called Zhou Yuanliang. He had no great ambitions and no bad habits. He liked to grow flowers and plants and raised many cats and dogs.

The Zhou family had a distant relative who worked as a manager at the hot spring manor they were digging. He had dealt with Shi Anyu, who was learning to manage accounts, several times. He thought this girl was steady and capable, and a good housekeeper, so he mentioned it to the Zhou family.

The Zhou family then asked a matchmaker to come and propose marriage.

Yu Sujun did not agree at that time, but just said that she would think about it carefully.

Although she suffered a setback in Shi Anxin's marriage, she did not leave Shi Anyu alone.

She knew the importance of a good marriage for a woman, so she took time out of her busy schedule to find someone to learn more about the Zhou family's situation and Zhou Yuanliang's character.

She said to Dingxiang, "I think a man who is patient with cats and dogs is always a good choice. Zhou Yuanliang is only a scholar and has no ability to walk in the court. But as long as he has good character, I think Yu Jie'er will be able to live a good life if she marries him. As for this man, I specifically asked Xia'er and she agreed. Now it depends on what you and Yu Jie'er think. As long as you are satisfied, I will agree to this marriage."

Ding Xiang had no idea, but she thought that since the mistress and the princess thought he was good, he must be a good person. In the end, she asked her daughter's opinion, and Shi Anyu said that the marriage was entirely up to the stepmother.

In this way, the marriage was settled smoothly, and the couple only had to wait for the man to propose marriage after the new year.

Yu Sujun, the mistress of the household, is busy, but she still does what she is supposed to do.

Shi Chengyi couldn't say anything. He just felt that his wife seemed to have not changed, but also seemed to have become completely unrecognizable.

He was in a state of panic all day long, his previous careful work style was gone, and he had made several mistakes.
