◎First visit to propose marriage◎

Jining Marquis Mansion.

Today is a rare holiday, and Shen Fuxue's body is almost recovered, Shen Zhengfu is very happy.

Ji even let out a long sigh: "Nong Nong's illness can be considered cured."

It was rare for the husband and wife to relax, so they discussed going out for a walk at night to get some fresh air.

While talking, the concierge suddenly came in and announced that Lu Shihan was here.

Shen Zhengfu and Ji's looked at each other, why did Lu Shihan come to visit suddenly

Although the two were puzzled, they still told the porter to welcome Lu Shihan in quickly.

Mrs. Ji also asked the nurse in charge to make a pot of good tea, and to perform everything according to the standard of entertaining distinguished guests.

After all, Lu Shihan saved his own daughter twice, so what they did was justified.

As soon as things were packed, Lu Shihan entered the main hall.

Ji's sharp eyes noticed that Lu Shihan didn't come empty-handed, he also brought many gifts.

These gifts are quite exquisite, it can be seen that a lot of thought has been put into them.

Lu Shihan cupped his hands and said, "The junior came to visit suddenly, so he didn't disturb uncle and aunt."

Shen Zhengfu said: "Sir Lu said something, sit down and talk."

Ji also said: "Look at what you are doing with some gifts. We should come to thank you."

Shen Zhengfu and Ji's husband and wife became more and more confused. What exactly was Lu Shihan doing here

At this moment, the nurse in charge came up with the freshly brewed tea, and the nurse poured tea for everyone.

The tea mist is dense and the breath is curling.

Shen Zhengfu said: "I don't know Master Lu is here, but what's the matter?"

Shen Zhengfu couldn't help but wonder, did Lu Shihan have something to discuss with him about the court

Lu Shihan: "This junior is indeed here for something."

Lu Shihan put down his teacup and said solemnly: "This junior came to the door this time to ask for the second girl Shen to be his wife."

Lu Shihan's voice was as flat as ever, but at this moment it was like a thunderbolt fell.

Shen Zhengfu and his wife didn't come back to their senses for a long time, and they froze in place.

Especially Shen Zhengfu, he was drinking tea, but he accidentally choked when he heard Lu Shihan's words.

Lu Shihan stepped forward: "Uncle Shen, are you alright?"

Shen Zhengfu coughed and blushed, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I'm fine..."

After coughing, the room fell into an eerie silence.

Shen Zhengfu hesitated and said, "Lord Lu, did I hear correctly?"

Lu Shihan stood in the main hall, tall and tall: "This junior really wants to marry Uncle Shen's Zhang Zhu, and I hope Uncle Shen will agree."

Lu Shihan said it again, so it was obvious that he was right.

Both Shen Zhengfu and the Ji family couldn't believe it. They thought a lot, but they never thought that Lu Shihan would actually want to marry his own daughter.

And he came to the door in person, with such a solemn attitude.

Rao is a husband and wife who are used to seeing the world, and at this moment they can't recover.

But Lu Shihan had already proposed so solemnly, they were bound to give an answer.

After a long time, Shen Zhengfu said slowly: "Lord Lu, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. My daughter is only reaching the age of ji this year. She is still young and her body has always been weak. I want to stay for a few more years."

This is a polite refusal.

Lu Shihan's complexion didn't change at all, he said calmly: "Uncle Shen loves Zhangzhu, so he should stay for a few more years, this junior knows."

Lu Shihan had long guessed that Shen Zhengfu would not agree to his coming to propose marriage this time, so there was no surprise at this time.

Today he came to propose marriage to let the Shen family couple know his intentions, and he will come to propose marriage in the future.

Lu Shihan said: "Today is a holiday, it should be a day for Uncle Shen to rest, so I won't disturb you, junior."

After speaking, Lu Shihan left.

Only Shen Zhengfu and Ji Shi were left in the room, and the husband and wife were still in surprise.

According to the two of them, their daughter and Lu Shihan had never met each other. How did Lu Shihan fall in love with his daughter

After all, Shen Zhengfu was an official appointed by the imperial court. He had been immersed in the imperial court for many years, and he quickly figured out the key points.

Shen Zhengfu remembered that Lu Shihan rescued him twice.

He didn't think about it before, but now that he thinks about it carefully, could it be that Lu Shihan fell in love with his daughter at this time

Shen Zhengfu is a man after all, he knows what kind of woman a man likes, his own daughter is so beautiful, it is normal for Lu Shihan to like his own daughter.

By the way, Shen Zhengfu remembered something again, and accidentally broke a beard in excitement.

Ji said: "Master, what's the matter?"

"I just remembered that ever since his daughter returned to Beijing, Lu Shihan always called himself a junior when he saw me," Shen Zhengfu murmured.

Today when Lu Shihan came over, he even called him and Ji's uncle and aunt.

In fact, based on the friendship between Jining Marquis Mansion and Dingguo Mansion, Lu Shihan and him are of the same generation, but Lu Shihan is really younger.

Before, Shen Zhengfu always thought that Lu Shihan called himself a junior just out of self-effacing, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

Could it be that Lu Shihan fell in love with his daughter early in the morning...

Both husband and wife couldn't help but think about it.

To be honest, since they divorced Lu Xian, they didn't think about finding a marriage for their daughter.

And even if they wanted Shen Fuxue to get married, they never considered Lu Shihan.

After all, her daughter is so weak and has a delicate temper, she has never even been out of the house, she should be matched with a gentle scholar, with a softer temper, who can tolerate and take care of her daughter.

Lu Shihan, on the other hand, was the complete opposite, with ruthless tactics and a cold personality, no matter how he thought about it, he was not a good match for his daughter.

Besides, even without this, Lu Shihan would not be a good match, after all, there is still the mess of the Lu family.

The Ji family is a woman, so she thinks more. Lu Shihan can be an official outside and only come home every evening, but his daughter has to stay in Dingguo's mansion for many years.

And with this marriage with Lu Xian, the daughter will inevitably be talked about, how will the daughter deal with herself then

Forget it, it's fine to reject Lu Shihan's marriage proposal.

The husband and wife swallowed this matter silently, and no one said anything.

They thought that the matter would be over like this, but a few days later, Lu Shihan came to visit again.

Shen Zhengfu and Ji's were full of suspicion, it was only a few days, why did Lu Shihan come to the door again

Could it be that Lu Shihan didn't give up and wanted to marry his own daughter

But no matter why, even if the marriage proposal fails, Lu Shihan is also his daughter's savior, and they should treat him well.

Shen Zhengfu personally welcomed Lu Shihan into the main hall.

Seeing Shen Zhengfu and Ji's embarrassed expressions, Lu Shihan almost immediately guessed what they were thinking.

Therefore, Lu Shihan said directly: "This junior is here to discuss something important."

"The junior found Dr. He. Recently, Dr. He came to the capital and practiced medicine in the suburbs of Beijing. The junior wants to take Miss Shen to see a doctor. Maybe it will help Miss Shen's health."

Shen Zhengfu and Ji's breathing became heavy when they heard the words: "Doctor He?!"

They have been seeking medical advice for Shen Fuxue, they must have heard of Dr. He's name, it is said that Dr. He's medical skills are quite superb.

They also wanted to seek medical advice from Dr. He before, but they never found a trace of Dr. He, and now they were found by Lu Shihan

Shen Zhengfu can imagine how much effort and time Lu Shihan spent on this.

Shen Zhengfu and Ji's couldn't help but feel a little changed towards Lu Shihan.

Lu Shihan obviously could have mentioned this matter when he was proposing before, but he didn't. Instead, he waited until now to mention it.

It just shows that Lu Shihan is thinking about his daughter's body and doesn't want to take kindness in return. It can be seen that Lu Shihan has put a lot of thought into his daughter.

It's just that they just rejected Lu Shihan's marriage proposal, so it's a bit unreasonable to use Lu Shihan now.

Shen Zhengfu also knew that something was wrong, and he was very entangled in his heart, but in the end, his concern for Shen Fuxue prevailed.

As long as it helps his daughter's health, he can do whatever he wants. Even if his family goes bankrupt in the future, he will repay Lu Shihan.

Shen Zhengfu said: "I don't want to thank you for your kindness, but if Mr. Lu is useful to my place in the future, I will definitely define him."

Lu Shihan said: "Uncle Shen is serious, but this junior still has something to say."

Lu Shihan continued: "Doctor He is withdrawn and doesn't like crowds, so when I go to see a doctor this time, my uncle and aunt may not be able to accompany me."

Lu Shihan did not deceive Shen Zhengfu and Ji's family, it was indeed the case.

Although he was the one who invited Dr. He back, he couldn't make decisions about many things, otherwise Lu Shihan would directly ask Dr. He to come to Shen Fuxue's residence in Beijing to treat Shen Fuxue.

Dr. He said that he would never enter Beijing, and he would never meet strangers, so Lu Shihan arranged Dr. He in the suburbs of Beijing, which is already the closest.

Shen Zhengfu and Ji's family didn't think too much after hearing the words, after all, they had been looking for doctors and medicines all these years, and they had never met any kind of doctor, and there were many people with weirder temperament than Doctor He.

The so-called matter should not be delayed, Shen Zhengfu decided to ask Lu Shihan to take Shen Fuxue to the suburbs of Beijing for medical consultation tomorrow.

When Lu Shihan left this time, Shen Zhengfu even sent Lu Shihan outside the second gate, which shows how grateful he is to Lu Shihan.

Ji sighed: "Actually, Shi Han is quite good."

Shen Zhengfu gave his wife a helpless look, and called Shang Shihan so soon

Shen Zhengfu said: "Madam, go and talk to Nong Nong, it's the first time for her to go out alone, maybe she will be scared, you should talk to her well."

Ji said: "You can rest assured."

Mrs. Ji went to Shen Fuxue's courtyard.

When Mrs. Ji arrived, Shen Fuxue was sitting on the beauty's couch reading a book.

Because she was at home, she was only wearing homely dresses, and her hair was only loosely tied in a simple bun.

Shen Fuxue just sat there, her whole body was as beautiful as a lotus out of water.

Looking at Shen Fuxue, Ji couldn't help sighing, no wonder that Lu Shihan likes his own daughter, I'm afraid no one would dislike his own daughter.

Ji sat on the beauty's couch: "Dong Nong, why are you looking so serious?"

Shen Fuxue came back to her senses, she raised her eyes: "My daughter is reading the travel notes."

Ji knows that her daughter has always liked to read travel notes, precisely because she likes the scenery outside that she has never seen before.

Ji couldn't help but feel a little distressed, it's because she is a bad mother who gave birth to her daughter so weak and sick.

But Ji thought about it, this time with Dr. He, maybe her daughter's illness will recover soon

She didn't expect to be perfect, it was impossible after all.

As long as the daughter is less uncomfortable and can live two or three years longer, that is the greatest gift from God to their couple.

Ji said: "Nong Nong, Mother has something to tell you this time."

Shen Fuxue closed the travel notes: "Mother, tell me."

Ji thought about his words: "It's like this, Lu Shihan... It's Mr. Lu who saved you. He happened to meet Dr. He who is highly skilled in medicine, so he wanted to take you to Dr. He's place to have a look."

Doctor He likes to be withdrawn, so Shen Fuxue can at least bring a maid and a guard with her when she goes this time, after all, someone needs to take care of Shen Fuxue.

In fact, the Ji family originally wanted to go with Shen Fuxue, and she must have taken better care of her as a mother.

It's just that there are too many things going on at home, and there are many things going on in the court. As a married woman, she has to enter the palace from time to time, and she really can't let go, so she asks Yun Zhi to follow Shen Fuxue.

After Ji finished speaking, she said worriedly: "Nong Nong, this is the first time you live outside alone, so don't worry too much outside."

In the past, Shen Fuxue also came to the capital by boat from Luozhou, but the boat was accompanied by a large group of women and maids from the Shen family, this time it was the first time that she only brought one maid and one guard, Ji was really worried.

Thinking of her daughter's quiet and slender temperament, Ji didn't have a good dinner.

Ji Shi was about to persuade Shen Fuxue again, when she heard Shen Fuxue say: "Mother, don't worry, my daughter is not afraid."

Ji choked: "Really, you're not a coaxer, are you?"

Shen Fuxue shook her head: "Daughter is really not afraid, she can go back to Beijing when she gets better, she will come back soon, but you and father don't worry too much about daughter when you are at home."

Ji didn't expect her daughter to be so strong that she would comfort her instead.

Ji couldn't help being a little suspicious.

Shen Fuxue was a little guilty. In fact, Lu Shihan had told her about Dr. He earlier in the morning, and she knew that Lu Shihan would go to see her every day. With Lu Shihan around, of course she was not afraid.

Shen Fuxue said: "Mother, my daughter has grown up, what she said is true."

Ji breathed a sigh of relief, she thought so, her daughter is already old enough, she will be sixteen in Chinese New Year, she has indeed grown up.

Ji said: "That mother will pack your luggage with you, and we will leave tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

With Ji's help, Shen Fuxue quickly packed her luggage.

At the end, Shen Fuxue also brought a few travel journals and story books, and prepared to read them when she was bored on the mountain.

Looking at the packed luggage, Ji looked worried, she wanted to go with her daughter.

Shen Fuxue knew about Ji's worry, and said: "Mother, my daughter just went to the mountain for treatment, what can happen, don't worry too much."

Shen Fuxue said: "That's right, mother, my daughter can write to you to tell you what happened, and then let the guards hand it over to you, what do you think?"

Ji's eyes lit up, it was a good idea.

The guards had to guard Shen Fuxue outside, and they could go out every day, so it was easy to deliver a letter along the way.

In this way, Ji finally let go of her heart.

the next day.

Lu Shihan waited early at the door of Shen's house.

Shen Zhengfu said: "It's really thanks to Mr. Lu this time, and I have to trouble you to send the little girl off in person."

According to Dr. He's withdrawn nature and seeing no strangers, if Shen Zhengfu went to see Shen Fuxue off without saying hello, he was afraid that even if he would be kicked out by Dr. He, Dr. He would not treat Shen Fuxue.

Therefore, Lu Shihan had to trouble Lu Shihan to send Shen Fuxue there, after all, it was Lu Shihan who invited Dr. He here.

Lu Shihan said: "Uncle Shen is serious, this junior is just a little effort."

While the two were talking, Mrs. Ji came out with Shen Fuxue. At this moment, the luggage had been loaded on the carriage and they were ready to set off.

Shen Zhengfu thought that his daughter was not familiar with Lu Shihan, and thought that the two had only met each other a few times.

And his daughter was simple-minded, and had never met strangers, so Shen Zhengfu was very worried that his daughter didn't know how to get along with Lu Shihan, so he wanted to introduce Lu Shihan to Shen Fuxue.

But the words were on the verge of his mouth, and Shen Zhengfu was entangled again.

According to the relationship and seniority of the two families, Shen Fuxue should call Lu Shihan uncle, but Lu Shihan is still young, so there is no way he should be called uncle.

Besides, his daughter doesn't know, but he knows it very well. Lu Shihan loves his daughter's family. If he asks his daughter to call him Uncle Lu Shihan, it will be...

In the end, Shen Zhengfu had no choice but to say dryly: "Nong Nong, this is Mr. Lu who saved you before. This time Dr. He was found by Mr. Lu. You must remember this kindness."

Shen Fuxue was a little guilty, she had clearly met Lu Shihan countless times, and now she still pretended not to know each other, especially in front of her parents.

Shen Fuxue bit her lip, tried her best to pretend that she didn't know Lu Shihan very well, and even bowed to Lu Shihan.

After explaining this, Shen Zhengfu gave a lot of nagging instructions, nothing more than that Shen Fuxue should be careful when going out alone, and tell Dr. He in time if there is any discomfort.

The more Shen Zhengfu said, the more worried he became, and he almost burst into tears.

Ji knew her husband very well. Seeing that her husband was about to cry with worry, she hurriedly said, "Okay, stop nagging, Mr. Lu has been waiting for such a long time, it's time to go."

Shen Zhengfu patted Shen Fuxue's shoulder: "Okay, listen to your mother, Nong Nong, you can go too."

After saying goodbye to her parents, Shen Fuxue took a carriage to the suburbs of Beijing.

The capital city is prosperous, and there are many horse-drawn carriages at the city gate, so it took a long time to get out of the city gate.

The weather was extremely hot. After leaving the city gate, the group rested at a tea stall in the suburbs of Beijing.

Shen Fuxue was afraid of the heat, so she simply sat in the car and did not go out, waiting for Yun Zhi to bring herbal tea.

It was almost time, Shen Fuxue wanted to lift the curtain to take a look, but the door of the carriage was pushed open, and it was Lu Shihan who came.

Shen Fuxue was a little surprised: "Master Lu, why are you here?"

Isn't Lu Shihan sitting in the front carriage

Lu Shihan still had a cup of herbal tea in his hand: "Come and see you."

Lu Shihan handed the herbal tea to Shen Fuxue: "Drink it."

Shen Fuxue took the herbal tea, the taste of this herbal tea was a little different from the previous ones, it seemed to have a sweet taste, and it was especially delicious.

Shen Fuxue blinked: "Master Lu, did you add honey to the herbal tea?"

Lu Shihan nodded calmly.

He thought that this time the little lady would have to drink bitter medicine one after another to treat her illness, so he decided to give the little lady some sweetness first.

"Thank you," Shen Fuxue said with curved lips.

The herbal tea tasted very good, but Shen Fuxue was greedy for cold, so she drank it up in a few sips.

Shen Fuxue sighed comfortably.

Lu Shihan saw that the tip of Shen Fuxue's nose was covered with sweat, so he took a handkerchief and wiped the thin sweat off Shen Fuxue's face: "I can only drink this cup."

Shen Fuxue was a little unhappy, she flattened her lips: "Okay," she just wanted to beg Lu Shihan for another cup of herbal tea.

Lu Shihan pinched the tip of Shen Fuxue's upturned nose.

Shen Fuxue's eyes widened, she covered the tip of her nose: "Master Lu, what are you pinching me for?"

Lu Shihan looked at Shen Fuxue firmly: "Are you pretending not to know me now?"

The little lady just now pretended really well. When she saw him, she didn't even glance at him. It was completely like the feeling that she only met two or three times and was not familiar with him.

Lu Shihan didn't realize that the little lady had a talent for acting.

Shen Fuxue was a little guilty at first, but now when Lu Shihan said it, her ears turned red: "I didn't mean that..."

Isn't she still afraid of being discovered by her parents

Shen Fuxue said: "Master Lu, after you succeed in proposing marriage, I don't need to pretend anymore."

Although Shen Zhengfu and his wife were good at hiding the truth, Lu Shihan told Shen Fuxue early in the morning that his marriage proposal was rejected.

Shen Fuxue was not disappointed, this was also expected.

Her father has always loved her the most, and he will definitely be cautious about her life-long events.

Shen Fuxue hugged Lu Shihan's arm: "Lord Lu, don't be discouraged. I think my parents' attitude towards you seems to be much better today. When you come to the door more in the future, my parents will agree sooner or later."

Lu Shihan knew this of course, Shen Zhengfu wasn't too obvious, but Ji's attitude had obviously improved a lot, and Lu Shihan was keenly aware of this as soon as he came to the door.

And Lu Shihan was also prepared to visit the door many times.

Always, he was determined to marry the little lady home.

But seeing Shen Fuxue secretly revealing Shen Zhengfu and his wife's preferences to him, Lu Shihan felt much more at ease.

The little lady was still facing him.

The two were talking when Cheng Zhou came over.

Cheng Zhou's voice came through the curtain of the carriage: "My lord, it's getting late, we should set off."

The mountain they are going to is actually not far from here, but the terrain is quite complicated and there are several detours, so it is better to go early.

Lu Shihan said, "Yes."

The carriage rolled by, and soon left the tea stand far away.

The surroundings are desolate, full of green hills, and there is a moment of silence, only the sound of the wheels rolling over the grass.

It was very hot and stuffy in the carriage, Shen Fuxue picked up the round fan to fan the wind, and the tip of her nose soon broke into thin sweat again.

Lu Shihan said: "It will be fine when we get to the mountains."

Zhuangzi in the mountains is extremely clean and secluded, surrounded by trees, and the temperature is much lower than in the capital.

Shen Fuxue nodded: "Yes, I know."

After Shen Fuxue finished speaking, she wanted to fan Lu Shihan for a while. After all, Lu Shihan wore more clothes than her, so he would definitely be hotter, but Lu Shihan frowned slightly.

Lu Shihan has always looked calm, rarely so.

Just as Shen Fuxue wanted to ask Lu Shihan what was wrong, she was pulled into Lu Shihan's arms.

With a sound of "Zheng", a feathered arrow came in through the window and nailed straight to the wall of the carriage.

Shen Fuxue thought in shock, how could there be an arrow shot in

If Lu Shihan hadn't pulled her into his arms in time, she would have been hit by an arrow long ago.

At this time, the voices outside became louder and the footsteps became more chaotic, as if many people had come.

But now it was too late to pay attention to the outside affairs, "clank clank", there were several sounds of piercing through the air one after another, and several feathered arrows shot in from the window and the compartment of the car respectively.

Shen Fuxue didn't know how to react at all, and then saw Lu Shihan hugging her waist, pressing her against the wall of the carriage, avoiding these feathered arrows.

At this juncture of life and death, Lu Shihan's movements were extremely fast, and Shen Fuxue couldn't help but lean back under the force of the impact.

Seeing that the back of Shen Fuxue's head was about to fall against the hard carriage wall, Lu Shihan raised his hand to protect Shen Fuxue's head.

Lu Shihan's slender and fair finger bones blocked the impact for Shen Fuxue: "Don't be afraid, Nongnong."

The author has something to say:
