Chapter 28
In the lobby, Shen Jichang and Sun Qiao were both there, and even Shen Zerui, who was busy cleaning up the barracks all day after returning, rushed back for an unprecedented time.

Standing inside the screen, Shen Yunchu silently clenched his fists, feeling uneasy, suddenly a soft hand was gently placed on her shoulder, pulling back Shen Yunchu's wandering thoughts.

She turned her head and looked, it was Bai Weiyu, the mother and daughter met each other's eyes, Bai Weiyu gave her a calm look, and stepped out of the screen.

Seeing that the person who came out was Bai Weiyu, Pei Changgong hurriedly bowed his hands to salute, with an upright and modest attitude, "Junior Pei Changgong, I have met Mrs. Shen."

Bai Weiyu sat down, and calmly avoided his etiquette. When he took the seat, Shen Jichang's expression could not be calmed down, but he frowned and looked at the young man in front of him carefully.

He has a handsome appearance, an orchid-like temperament, and a faint scent of books. His gestures are full of grace, and he is dressed in a dark blue gown, which adds a bit of depth to him.

The two sides were silent for a long time, and then Shen Jichang sighed, seemingly regretful, but also with resentment, he said: "Look at him, he is a good-looking person."

When Pei Changgong heard this, he just nodded and smiled, showing a respectful and humble look, "General Shen is absurdly praised, I am not talented, I have read some books, I think I know a few words, and I am familiar with some poems and books, I am really ashamed. "

When Shen Ji Chang heard this, he just turned his eyes away slightly, with a slightly displeased expression on his face, Shen Yunchu, who was observing the movement outside from the screen, had a panoramic view.

After thinking for a while, she heard Bai Weiyu asking him outside: "Are you really interested in dating my eldest daughter?"

Without waiting for the other party's answer, Shen Yunchu turned his head, walked to the back door, and waved to Shen Sishi who was waiting at the side. He was a little surprised, but he still walked over.

Shen Yunchu pulled his sleeve and motioned him to squat down, but there was no way, he was tall, so if he didn't squat down, he couldn't whisper.

Shen Sishi was a little awkward, but he still obeyed obediently. Shen Yunchu clung to his ear and whispered something to him, then he only looked at her with deep eyes, and then nodded.

Watching him fly up to the roof, Shen Yunchu turned his head back, and before he got close, he heard Pei Changgong's voice from inside the room: "Naturally!"

I saw Pei Changgong nodded, so excited that he couldn't help taking a few steps forward, as if realizing that he was impolite, he hurriedly backed away, nodded and said: "Of course, when I first saw Miss Shen I love you, so I come here to ask for marriage, and I, Pei Changgong, would like to swear here that I will treat Qingyue well in this life and never let her down! I hope General Shen will make it happen!"

This touching speech, coupled with the betrothal gifts that lined up from the lobby to the gate, really made it difficult for people to not be moved. If Shen Yunchu hadn't experienced a lifetime and knew what he was like, he would really have believed his words.

Obviously, at this time Shen Qingyue also clenched her fists nervously. Shen Yunchu stepped forward, knelt down in front of the table, and gently held her hand. The moment their eyes met, Shen Qingyue seemed to sigh, Turn your eyes away resignedly.

Outside the screen, Shen Jichang said: "Young Master Pei has a heart, but the old man has recently heard some rumors that are not good for the young master, can you please explain it to the young master?"

Hearing this, Pei Changgong was stunned for a moment. After a short thought, he seemed to be sure that his method was flawless, and it was impossible for anyone to see through it. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he was quickly replaced by an open-minded question.

He nodded lightly, "General Shen, I'm sure I'll tell you everything, and I will never hide anything."

Shen Jichang looked at him, and his expression turned cold unconsciously, "Mr. Pei's character is always trustworthy, and the elders of the clan also appreciate you very much. However, we still have to clarify some things, so as not to come back later. liquidation."

"I've heard people say that Mr. Pei has raised a lot of concubine girls in private, but never took them back to the mansion. Is there such a thing?"

When Pei Changgong heard this, he was startled for a moment, and then his expression changed greatly. He backed away in shock, waved his hands repeatedly, and said, "This, this, this...General Shen wronged me, I, Pei, will definitely not do something like this." Things that damage the reputation, think of my Pei family, which is also the door of Shangshu, this kind of thing is definitely not allowed."

Speaking of Pei Changgong, he is also seventeen. Although he has not yet reached the age of the crown, most of the men are precocious, not to mention rich men as old as him, even those who are a few years younger than him and have wives and concubines at home. There are not a few, and it is not an anecdote.

It's just that Pei Changgong hasn't married a wife yet, and he doesn't have concubines, but he is raising a concubine. This is strange. He is the son of Shangshu. Even if he really wants to take a few concubines in the mansion, no one thinks it is strange or looks down upon him. .

Then why do you want to secretly raise the outer room?It's nothing more than an exciting and fresh idea, and when he gets tired of playing, he can just give some silver taels to pass away casually.

In this way, you don't have to take it home and be stared at by so many pairs of eyes. Although the concubine is not worth a few dollars, if you get tired of it, just sell it, it is not difficult to deal with.

It's just that if he keeps himself clean, won't Mr. Pianpian's reputation be ruined?In the end, is there any powerful family willing to marry their daughter to him?
Especially for a lintel like the Shen family, where one person is less than ten thousand people, you must know that Shen Jichang and Emperor Sheng'an were brothers who had worshiped in the past.

The power of the Shen family, looking at the whole of Sheng'an, can be said to be unrivaled by any other family. The reason why the Pei family wants to get involved in this marriage is because they have taken a fancy to Shen Qingyue's dowry.

Shen Jichang is not a stingy person, he dotes on the three daughters in the mansion, and each daughter has promised a generous dowry since birth, not to mention small things, there are several pieces of land for the shop alone, How can this not make people jealous?

In addition, if you can get married with the Shen family, it is tantamount to elevating the status of the whole family secretly. Besides, the Pei family is not considered a small family. Just because of Pei Changgong's reputation, the Pei family will definitely accept Shen Jichang. There is no reason to look down on him.

At this time, Bai Weiyu who was sitting on the side spoke at the right time: "Young Master Pei, you have to think it over before you say it. Our master has always disliked people who speak the truth."

Hearing Bai Weiyu's words, Pei Changgong said solemnly: "Ma'am, I, Pei, can swear to heaven that I have never done such a thing that ruined the family style. If you two elders insist on not believing it, you can take it to investigate. Pei If you are upright, you are not afraid of the shadow slanting, and you will never resist."

These sincere and sincere remarks made the two people in the seat frown for no reason. Bai Weiyu turned her head and looked at Shen Jichang who was beside her calmly. Wrinkled deeper.

One could tell at a glance that after hearing Shen Yunchu's words that night, Shen Jichang must have sent someone to conduct a secret investigation. Maybe something was indeed found, but he couldn't produce any evidence, so he could only try to point it out.

However, this person is too thick-skinned, he would not admit it even if he was killed, and he still looks aloof, and the second elder can't do anything about it, but if he wants to refuse Pei Changgong's marriage proposal, he must come up with a plausible reason, otherwise, Isn't this just making enemies for the Shen family?

Now his disguise is almost perfect, making it impossible for anyone to find fault. From a sudden look, such a person is more than enough for Shen Qingyue.

When the two of them were at a loss, Uncle Li hurried into the lobby, directly skipped Pei Changgong who was standing in the center, and strode towards Shen Jichang who was in the main seat.

Seeing Uncle Li come in, she turned her head to look at the back door of Xiaodao. Sure enough, Shen Sishi had already returned. He stood outside and nodded at Shen Yunchu, indicating that the matter she explained was completed.

After receiving the news, Shen Yunchu behind the screen felt relieved. He deserved to be the number one killer in Sheng'an in the future. He really did not disappoint her. Just now he was worried that he would not be able to come back in such a short time.

Since he really got it in such a short period of time, the next step is to tear open the skin of Pei Changgong's hypocrite.
