The little concubine with many children and good fortune wins the harem by doing nothing

Lai Fu was talking to himself when he suddenly heard a noise outside.

He was startled and went out to check.

Just then, he saw his master walking towards him cursing. It turned out that the master was so angry that he stamped his feet after learning that his brat was sent back home drunk.

Lai Fu hurriedly explained: "Master, please don't be angry. It's New Year's Day. Harmony brings wealth. Besides, the young master hasn't woken up yet. The old lady asked me to take care of him here."

Father Shen snorted coldly: "This rebellious son dares to get me drunk in broad daylight. He is really rebellious. I will teach him a lesson!" As he said that, he rushed to Shen Zhuo's room.

Lai Fu hurriedly stopped him and begged, "Master, please calm down. This young master is just trying to show his filial piety to his master. Please forgive him this time!"

Father Shen glared at Lai Fu and said, "Hmph, for the sake of his master, I'll let it go this time. But when he wakes up, I will definitely teach him a good lesson!" After saying that, he turned away.

Lai Fu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his master leave.

He looked back at Shen Zhuo's room and muttered to himself, "Master, you are such a troublemaker. Fortunately, I have your master as a shield this time. I hope you can be more careful in the future!"

Lai Fu shook his head slightly and turned to leave.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a groan coming from the room. "The young master is awake!" Lai Fu rushed into the room and saw Shen Zhuo holding his head with a splitting headache and looking at him blankly.

Lai Fu quickly helped him sit up and handed him a cup of strong tea. "Master, how do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"

Shen Zhuo shook his head. The headache from the hangover made him a little dazed for a moment.

"How did I get back? My father..."

Upon hearing this, Lai Fu quickly told him what had happened. After listening to it, Shen Zhuo felt extremely regretful.

He knew his father must be very angry and he would probably be scolded again this time.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhuo finished the sobering tea brought by Lai Fu, then sighed and decided to go and apologize to his father first.

He endured the headache, stood up and walked towards Shen's father's study.

As soon as I walked to the door, I heard Father Shen's voice coming from inside: "You stinky boy, you finally came to admit your mistake?"

Shen Zhuo pushed the door open and walked in, lowering his head and saying, "Dad, I know I was wrong, and I will never get drunk in broad daylight again."

Father Shen looked at him and said seriously, "It's good that you know you are wrong!

You must remember that as a member of the Shen family, your behavior represents the image of the entire family. Don't indulge yourself like this in the future!"

Shen Zhuo nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would keep his father's teachings in mind.

"It's good that you know you're wrong. You're not a child anymore. You should be more careful." Father Shen said earnestly, "On the 15th, Lord Wang will hold a poetry gathering for the young masters of each family. You should also prepare for it."

"Poetry meeting?" Shen Zhuo had a look of disgust on his face. He was not interested in writing poetry at all.

Although he was once a top scholar, he was only interested in medicine. As for writing poetry, he thought it was a waste of his time.

"Humph, you are obsessed with medical skills and don't care about anything else!" Father Shen glared at him, "This poetry gathering will be attended by talented men and women from all walks of life. You must go and win honor for your father."

Hearing this, Shen Zhuo nodded helplessly, "Okay, Dad, I'll do my best."

"Well, that's about right." Father Shen's expression eased a little. "If you perform well at the poetry meeting, maybe you can find me a daughter-in-law."

Shen Zhuo was speechless. His father really dared to think too much. It was not so easy to find a wife!

Father Shen looked at Shen Zhuo, who looked very pale, and quickly waved his hand, "Okay, I won't say anything to you anymore, go back and have a good rest!"

"Yes, Dad, my son will go back first." After saying that, Shen Zhuo turned around and left, but he was worried in his heart.

He knew that this poetry gathering should not be as simple as reciting poems and composing couplets, but also an opportunity for major families to demonstrate their strength and build connections.

But he really didn't want to get involved in such a treacherous thing.

Back in his room, Shen Zhuo buried himself in studying medical books, trying to forget the troubles of the poetry meeting.

However, his father's expectant eyes and the woman's appearance kept appearing in his mind.

Just when he was upset, someone suddenly knocked on the door. He opened the door and saw that it was his good friend Lin Yu.

"I just heard from Uncle Shen that you are also going to attend the poetry meeting, so I came to see you specially." Lin Yu walked into the room with a smile.

"I was also forced to do so!" Shen Zhuo said with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, with your talent, you will definitely shine at the poetry gathering." Lin Yu comforted, "However, it is said that this poetry gathering will have a special segment called Qushui Liushang.

We men and women sit around the pond and put the topic of the poem on a wooden tray. Whoever the tray falls to gets to write the poem.

"How do you know it so clearly?" Shen Zhuo couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"I have a cousin who will also attend this poetry gathering. She told me in advance." Lin Yu explained, "Also, I heard that Xu Wan, the most famous talented woman in Beijing, was invited to this poetry gathering.

She is famous for her beauty and talent, and many people want to see her."

Shen Zhuo thought about it. He seemed to have heard of Xu Wan before and had some knowledge of her talent.

"I didn't expect she would come to the poetry reading." Shen Zhuo murmured to himself.

"How about it, do you also want to meet this talented woman?" Lin Yu joked with a smile.

Shen Zhuo rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm not interested in her, and I don't want to go to that poetry reading."

"No, let's go together! I heard that this poetry reading has also invited the most famous musicians in the capital to perform to liven up the atmosphere." Lin Yu said hurriedly.

After Shen Zhuo heard this, his heart was moved. He had a strong interest in music, and if he could hear beautiful music at the poetry meeting, it might be able to relieve his stress!

"That's quite interesting." A smile finally appeared on Shen Zhuo's face.

"Yes, so you don't have to worry too much."

Lin Yu patted Shen Zhuo on the shoulder and said, "Just relax and show off your talents. Maybe you can make some like-minded friends!"

Shen Zhuo nodded, "Okay, let's go!"

Finally the fifteenth day arrived, and the streets and alleys of the capital were bustling with activity. Before nightfall, the streets were already full of people selling lanterns.

Shen Zhuo and Lin Yu arrived at the poetry reading together. They saw that the venue was decorated elegantly and exquisitely. Everyone was sitting around the pool, chatting and laughing.

The music sounded, melodious and intoxicating. Shen Zhuo couldn't help but close his eyes and immerse himself in the music.

After the song, the poetry gathering officially began. The wooden tray was passed slowly among the crowd and finally stopped in front of Shen Zhuo.

He picked up a pen and paper, thought for a moment, and then wrote a wonderful poem. Everyone praised him, and Shen Zhuo responded with a smile.

At this moment, he noticed a beautiful woman sitting not far away, quietly admiring his work. The moment their eyes met, Shen Zhuo felt a familiar feeling in his heart.
