Chapter 2: The Ungrateful Scholar (2)

After serving tea, Mr. Shen and Li Yu discussed their future plans.

"Li Yu, my father-in-law only has this one daughter. I don't ask for wealth and luxury in her life, but I just ask for her to have enough food and clothing and live in peace and security for the rest of her life."

"I will fully support your studies. I will cover all the expenses for your studies. I can also leave the Shen family's property to you, but you must promise to treat my daughter well for the rest of your life."

Mr. Shen looked serious and stared into Li Yu's eyes.

Li Yu raised his right hand, raised three fingers, and said solemnly.

"I swear to treat Qingli like a treasure and take good care of her."

Seeing that he looked serious and didn't seem to be lying, Mr. Shen relaxed his expression and spoke.

"From now on, take a few days every month to learn how to manage the Shen family's business from me. Come on down."

When Li Yu returned to the room, he saw the beautiful lady looking at him.

Li Yu went forward and hugged his wife's slender waist, buried his head in her neck and took a deep breath of her fragrance. The beautiful wife was so shy that she gently supported him with her small hands.

Li Yu smiled and said to her, "My father-in-law told me to treat you well, study hard, and learn to do some accounting."

Shen Qingli nodded and pushed him lightly.

"Well, let me go first."

Li Yu didn't let go and rubbed Qingli twice.

"No, I still need your help with something."

"what's up?"

The beauty's bright eyes were wide open, as if she didn't know how she could help.

Li Yu said with a bitter face and a pitiful tone.

"My husband, I know nothing about the accounting business. Please help me, my wife."

After saying that, he stuck to Shen Qingli again.

"How can a woman manage the family property?"

Shen Qingli felt like he was hearing a fairy tale.

"Why not? You're in business, I'm in school. When husband and wife work together, their strength is unbreakable."

"Besides, my wife is beautiful and intelligent. It's really unfair to her to stay at home all the time. It's also a waste of her talent."

"Besides, if I have to learn accounting and study at the same time by myself, I'm exhausted just thinking about it. My wife would be willing to help me share the burden, right?"

Li Yu looked at Qingli pitifully with his handsome face.

Qingli frowned, and after a while, spoke softly.

"Okay, does Father agree?"

"I can definitely convince my father-in-law. Leave it to me."

After saying that, he gently kissed her red lips. Shen Qingli was so embarrassed that she buried her little head in Li Yu's arms and refused to lift it up.

Li Yu chuckled a few times, and after a while he let go of his newlywed wife and went to discuss things with his father-in-law.

Li Yu believed that Qingli was talented and that being in charge of the Shen family was the basis of Qingli's life.

Besides, no one can predict what will happen in the future, nor can they predict the fickleness of human hearts. Letting Qingli take charge of the Shen family is not only a confidence, but also a guarantee.

In the end, he successfully persuaded his father-in-law with his eloquence, and his father-in-law also praised him more.

In the days that followed, Li Yu studied in the study, while Qingli followed Mr. Shen to learn about the affairs of the Shen family.

In addition, Li Yu was immersed in the beauty of his wife every day and couldn't extricate himself.

Every time he went to the study, he was reluctant to leave his wife, which made Shen Yuanwai feel so disgusted that he drove Li Yu out.

Li Yu sighed, thinking that he finally understood why the king didn't attend the court early in the morning.

Although I really want to be close to my wife, I still have to study hard. My original scumbag was admitted to the imperial city, so I can't be worse than him. At least I have to become a Jinshi.

So I plunged into the ocean of learning again.

At the same time, on Shen Qingli's side.

"Isn't that kid Li Yu bullying you?"

Qingli seemed to have thought of something, her face turned red, and she spoke softly.

"Daddy, no."

Mr. Shen snorted.

"That kid is smart."

Qingli chuckled.

"Father is actually very satisfied with my husband, and my husband treats me very well."

Looking at his daughter getting married, the old father felt a little sad.

"You've only been married for a short time and you're already leaning towards your husband. Poor old father of yours who raised you. Alas, now that your daughter has grown up, her heart has run away with someone else."

Shen Qingli glared at her pretentious old father with her beautiful eyes, then started looking at the account book again.

Mr. Shen felt bored, so he started to watch awkwardly.

As the provincial examination approached, some scholars invited Li Yu to participate in a poetry gathering, the main purpose of which was to make connections, and the secondary purpose was to write poetry.

Li Yu thought that his father-in-law's business was still here, and making more connections would bring more benefits than disadvantages, so he went.

"Brother Li, I've heard a lot about you."

"Brother Shen, I have admired you for a long time."
