CHAPTER 131: CHAPTER 131: SCHOLAR LI’S FUTURE WIFE

Grandpa is right, now that Shen Family has Shen Qinglan, things will definitely keep getting better!

But as for him, he still has to keep studying hard in the cold, not knowing when he will have the ability to ensure his beloved girl can marry with more fanfare!

"I’m hungry!" Shen Qingju said, clutching her rumbling stomach, "I wonder if Aunt Yang and mom have finished cooking."

When they were in the village, Shen Qingju was the busiest, but ever since they moved to town, she’s become the most idle.

Yang often cooks, Jiang and Lu, along with Dong Yao, help out, and Shen Qinghe, not one to sit still, also joins in to help.

Shen Qinglan thought for a moment and asked, "Sis, Cousin, how’s your embroidery skills?"

"Mine’s not bad, I guess," replied Shen Qingju, "But I’m still not as good as Cousin; her embroidery is the best."

"Why suddenly ask about embroidery?" Shen Qinghe was puzzled.

Shen Qinglan pursed her lips, "Naturally, to find something for you to do, to keep you from being too idle."

Their eyes instantly lit up and they asked in unison, "What thing?"

"You’ll know when the time comes."

"Playing mysterious," Shen Qingju scoffed lightly.

Shen Qinglan smiled and praised, "Not bad with your use of idioms."

Shen Qinghe couldn’t help joking, "After all, she’s the future wife of Scholar Li, can’t use idioms badly, can she?"

The teasing, one after the other, made Shen Qingju and Li Wei’s faces turn red immediately.

"You guys..."

If not for the things she was carrying, Shen Qinglan thought, Shen Qingju would have lunged at them.

Shen Qinghe said, "Qingju, Qinglan and I will help you take the stuff back, you go with Brother Wei to see the eldest brother."

Shen Qinglan had nothing in her hands, so she took the things Shen Qingju handed over and asked Li Wei, "How many days is the academy break?"

"Two days." Li Wei asked, "Why?"

Shen Qinglan said, "I want Qing’an and Qingping to go to school. They’re seven and eight, can’t just stay home all the time."

If Shen Qingzhu was willing, she could send all three of them together.

Since they moved to town, everyone has nothing to do, and Shen Qinglan was afraid they might get bored sick.

Recently, Shen Qingzhu has been much more well-behaved, often following the two younger ones to Shen Qingfeng to study and practice writing.

Li Wei said, "I can take them."

"That’s fine too."

After all, they’re going to be family sooner or later, so she’s not a stranger.

Li Wei smiled at her words.

"Slowpoke, let’s go, I’ll take you to Brother."

With that, Shen Qingju started walking ahead.

Li Wei hurriedly stepped to catch up.

Shen Qinghe sighed, "I hope the Li family can open their minds soon, if not, who knows how long these two will have to keep suffering."

Shen Qinglan said nothing, but thought of Niu and Liang Kun, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

"Let’s go," Shen Qinghe reminded.

Shen Qinglan snapped back to reality, nodded slightly, and helped Shen Qingju with the things back to the west wing room.

During dinner, after Dong Zhong learned about Li Wei’s identity, he gave him a lot of advice, summed up in one sentence: "Qingju is not young anymore, it’s better to handle your matter sooner rather than later; can’t just keep dragging it out."

Li Wei didn’t know what to say, and could only keep nodding.

It made everyone present want to laugh.

Old man Shen asked about Old man Li’s condition and learned that he was fine, just too idle.

Old man Shen said, "When there’s nothing to do, bring your grandpa over here to play more often, the town isn’t like the village, don’t let him get bored into illness."

They were all used to doing farm work, couldn’t stay idle for a day.

Sometimes, when Shen Qinglan saw the two elders of the Shen Family weeding in the yard, she suspected that if winter wasn’t coming soon, they’d probably start growing vegetables in the yard.
