Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 42: Promotion
As a military general, I don't think much of a civil servant.
Actually, as a civil official, you may not be willing to marry a military general. In case of good or bad on the battlefield, the daughter can become a widow.
Mrs. Shen was a little shaken at first, but she immediately firmed up: "Master is right. We have four sons, only one daughter like Lan'er. I don't ask her to marry into a high-level clan, I only hope that she is safe and sound. Live happily ever after."
"When the Fang family comes to propose marriage, we will agree to the Fang family. It's better to decide the marriage earlier!"
Shi Lang Shen nodded.
At this moment, the door was knocked, and the familiar girl's voice sounded: "Father, mother."
My daughter Shen Lan is here.
Shen Shilang got up and went to open the door in person, smiling warmly and softly: "Lan'er, you've been tired all day, why don't you rest?"
Shen Shi Lang was plain looking, but married a beautiful wife. Shen Lan looks like her biological mother, elegant and elegant. Shen Shilang cherished his daughter extremely, from childhood to adulthood, let alone punishment, he was reluctant to say a heavy word.
Shen Lan entered the room, summoned up her courage and said, "Father and mother, I have something important to tell you."
Shi Lang Shen and Madam Shen looked at each other, and a subtle premonition flashed in their hearts at the same time.
Their intuition is very good.
Shen Lan blushed slightly and said softly, "Today is the wedding ceremony for my daughter. Once today is over, we can talk about marriage. I know that my father and mother like the Fang family, but what I like in my heart is Lu Fei." /
Shen Shilang: "..."
Mrs. Shen: "..."
I'm really afraid of what to do.
Shen Shilang also felt a headache, reached out and rubbed his forehead, sighed: "Lan'er, it's not for the father's snobbery. The Lu family is good in everything, Lu Fei is brave and calm. But he is a military general. He is going to lead the army to fight. If you marry him, you will have to guard the vacant room every night, worrying about his safety every day."
"Your father is right." Mrs. Shen took over the words: "Second son Fang is different. He is a junior in spring, and he will be able to go to high school. After staying in the Hanlin Academy for a few years, he can find an expatriate, or You are an official in the capital. If you marry into the Fang family, you will live comfortably."
The husband sings and the wife accompanies, the piano and the melody are melodious, isn't it fragrant?
Why do you have to marry a general who kills people with swords and guns?
Shen Lan raised her head, her eyes were clear and firm: "I know, you are all thinking about me. However, I would rather marry someone I like, even if I am alone in an empty room, even if I am worried day and night, I am willing."
Shen Shilang frowned even more: "Lan'er, you are too young to understand..."
"I know everything." Shen Lan opened her mouth to interrupt her father: "Father, I am not a child who doesn't understand things. I know what this choice means."
"My father has always loved me. It's a life-long event, so let's take care of my daughter!"
Facing his daughter's earnest face, Shi Lang Shen retreated steadily.
Mrs. Shen opened her mouth to persuade: "Lan'er, life as a husband and wife is not as simple as you think. The husband and wife are in the same household, have the same preferences, and have similar temperaments. The most important thing..."
Shen Lan looked at her mother and whispered, "Mother, you once told me that many people came to propose marriage in those days. My father's background was not obvious, and his appearance was ordinary. Grandfather and grandmother were not happy with this marriage. Why does my mother insist on marrying?"
"It's because my mother and my father have known each other since childhood and have affection for each other."
"In the eyes of others, my mother is married. But these years, my father has been gentle and considerate to my mother. Whoever made fun of and ridiculed my mother back then could compare to my mother's life now?"
Mrs. Shen: "..."
Mrs. Shen regrets it so much now that she really shouldn't tell her daughter these old things.
Shen Lan continued: "What my father and mother are worried about is that the Lu family is a general, and Lu Fei is going to fight, which is a bit dangerous. In fact, being an official in the DPRK is also risky. Head. Forgetting the public, misusing power, and going to jail."
"Don't forget to eat because of choking!"
Shen Shi Lang rubbed his forehead again: "Okay, don't talk about it for now. You and I have to allow your mother and I to think carefully about such important matters for a few days."
"Furthermore, the Lu family didn't come to the door to propose marriage. It's useless to discuss these matters at this time."
Shen Lan's eyes lit up: "My father means that as long as the Lu family comes to propose marriage, my father will nod and agree to the marriage?"
Why does this sound a little wrong?
Shen Shilang twitched the corners of his mouth, his eyes swept across Shen Lan's hopeful face: "I have to think about it."
Shen Lan looked at Mrs. Shen.
Facing her daughter's pleading face, Mrs. Shen could not say a word, and sighed for a long time: "This matter came suddenly. You have to allow us to think about it for a few days."
Shen Lan came with anxiety and left happily.
Leaving Shen Shilang and his wife behind, they looked at each other and sighed.
It's really a girl who doesn't stay in college!
"Master, what should I do now?" Mrs. Shen asked with a frown.
Shen Shilang calmed down: "It's so late, let's rest first! Let's put this matter aside for the time being."
…
Shen Shilang and Mrs. Shen, who were full of worries, didn't sleep well all night. The next morning, both of them had blue shadows hanging from their eyes. The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time~IndoMTL.com~ Shen Shilang cheered up and prepared to go to the government office.
Before taking a step, the porter hurriedly came to report: "Mr. Qi, the king of Xingyang and the second son are here to visit."
Shen Shilang: "..."
Mrs. Shen: "..."
This is coming too soon!
My daughter and her wedding ceremony had just passed, and she didn't even wait a day to come.
The visitor is a guest, and cannot be turned away.
Shen Shi Lang had to get up to greet the distinguished guests. By the way, someone sent a letter to the government office to take a day off.
At the main entrance, the host and the guest meet.
As a junior, Lu Fei wanted to see him first, and when he bowed, he almost fell to the ground: "Lu Fei has met my uncle and aunt."
I'm here to propose a marriage today, shouldn't I try to be courteous?
Lu Lin deliberately shaved his beard to reveal his handsome and tough face. Today, he deliberately wore a new dress, with a tall, handsome and mature figure.
Lu Fei is also a handsome young man with high spirits. He immediately became a stinky young boy beside his auspicious adoptive father.
Mrs. Shen, who came out to greet her, couldn't help but look at Lu Lin frequently.
Men love to see beautiful women.
In the same way, when a woman sees a handsome man, she must take a second look.
Shen Shilang glanced at his beloved wife, took a step forward quietly, blocked his wife's eyes intentionally or unintentionally, smiled and cupped his fists: "The king of Xingyang is here, it's really bright!"
Lu Lin clasped his fists in return, and said with a loud laugh, "Sir Shen, don't dislike me for being presumptuous."
Mrs. Shen took a step away and said with a warm smile: "King Xingyang is too polite, please come into the main hall to speak!"
Shen Shilang coughed and moved again, blocking Mrs. Shen's sight: "Please come to King Xingyang."
Mrs. Shen: "..."
