Cannon Fodder Strategy

Duan Guilan knew that Shen Tengwen usually stayed at home and read sages' books at home, but occasionally he would meet up with a group of close friends to chat every three to five days. When others talked about Shen Tengwen, they praised every word, which made Duan Guilan feel more and more angry. As in the plot, after Duan Guilan crouched not far from Shen's house and stared at Shen Tengwen for two days, he found out that he was going to meet him the next day. A group of friends met to recite poems for poetry. This was the first time Duan Guilan knew that Shen Tengwen was going out in the two days since he had been staring at him, so she immediately decided to follow him.

Of course, her mood at this time is completely different from that of her in the plot. She is not doing it for the sake of her sister or trying to find fault with Shen Tengwen, but simply because she wants to vent her anger. , she wanted to follow Shen Tengwen, find out his mistakes, and prove that Shen Tengwen, who Lily, Liu and others had agreed to, was not as good as they thought. She wanted to make Lily unable to step down after knowing the truth, and let her know that she had been beaten. Just the consequences.

So she slipped out of the door early the next morning. As soon as Duan Guilan left, Lily noticed it with her hind legs.

Duan Guilan has been abnormal these past two days. After he beat her up two days ago, it would be strange if she didn't play some prank to get back at her based on her personality. However, she has been running out all day these past two days and will not come back until dark. After returning home, he never mentioned anything about what happened before, but became mysterious. Lily didn't need to think about it, she just remembered that in the plot, Duan Guilan followed Shen Tengwen when Duan Baihe was about to get engaged, causing great trouble.

It happened to be this moment in time. Although the exact date was a few days off, after all, the development of things now was somewhat different from the plot. Even if the time is off by a few minutes, it is very possible.

And just because this incident was a disaster for Duan Baihe, it ended up creating a perfect marriage between Shen Tengwen and Duan Guilan. In the end, Duan Guilan's misbehavior disrupted Duan Baihe's marriage, which was supposed to be the most difficult. She married the right man. Things happen again. Duan Guilan messed up Duan Baihe's good things once, and this time it was time for him to mess up her good things.

Even if these two people are the red thread that Yue Lao has already tied in his hands, and they are a pair created by nature, if they want to be as smooth as in the plot. But it is absolutely impossible.

Just as Duan Guilan walked away, Lily also turned around and entered the backyard. Mrs. Liu stayed in the shop for the past two days to nurse her legs and could not go anywhere. As soon as she left, Mrs. Liu raised her eyelids and wanted to get angry. After all, the business in the shop was not as good as before and she could not afford to hire anyone. My leg is injured and I can't move while sitting. If a guest comes, who will greet the guest if there is no one in the shop?

Just thinking of how this eldest daughter beat Duan Guilan like that a few days ago, and how badly she fell because of her, Lily never said a word to her from beginning to end. Liu didn't even say a word to comfort her when she admitted her mistake. Ms. Liu felt uncomfortable when she thought about it, so she deliberately cold-hearted her and didn't open her mouth to her for two or three days in a row. Although she wanted to get angry at this moment, she didn't want to bow her head first. So she suppressed her dissatisfaction and watched Lily enter the backyard, and she was so angry that she beat the cabinet.

Lily had already predicted this day, so in the past few years, she used her time to do embroidery work on weekdays. I picked up a lot of rags and pieced them together to make a patchwork robe. Now I put it on my body, took off my split hair and tied it up, put on my feet, and went out, feeling that Mrs. Liu was still in the shop in front. There was no one else in the backyard, so she raised her spiritual power. Her body flew up lightly, stepped on the roof, and in the blink of an eye, she was out of the Duan family yard.

In the middle of the plot, Lily also knows where the shipyard where Guilan caused trouble is. After all, Mrs. Liu was so worried about this incident that she sold the cloth shop and lost some money. At this time, Lily came out of Duan's house and saw the right direction. Just run towards that place first.

She was going to take a look first. If she didn't see Duan Guilan, she would just look for him one by one then.

Although the banks of the Huaihe River are large, she has Qinggong, and although there are many shipyards, it is not difficult for Lily. She first went to the painting studio where Duan Guilan caused trouble, and waited under a willow tree.

The weather has entered autumn, and there are many shipyards parked on both sides of the river. Because it is not yet night, many of the shipyards are not busy, and the red lanterns hanging above are not bright. Among the shipyards where the accident occurred in the plot, although the The gauze hung down and she couldn't see clearly what was going on inside, but the sound of silk and bamboo and the female laughter of warblers and swallows came to Lily's ears. Many brothels were not open in the broad daylight. It can be imagined that Shen Tengwen and his party Most of the people are in this shipyard.

Lily thought for a while and decided to get on the boat and wait.

Although there were many people by the river, no one noticed her at all. She was so fast that others only felt her shadow flickering, as if someone was moving. When they looked again, they thought they had seen it wrong.

The shipyard is huge. Many girls received guests last night and were sleeping soundly with their arms around their benefactors. The doors of many rooms were tightly locked. The fragrance of powder and powder all around was pleasant. Lily's ears were extremely sensitive. When someone came, she would jump into the room. Liang hid, so that when she came to the place where Si Zhu was teasing, no one noticed her at all. Lily carefully hid her body on the roof of the beam. There were seven or eight people wearing Confucian shirts below, each with a woman sitting next to them. A pot of tea was already boiling in front of them.

One of the young men with a gentle appearance, a scarf tied around his head, and a blue shirt was none other than Shen Tengwen. Seeing Shen Tengwen, Lily felt relieved. She had made the right move this time and there was no need to look around anymore.

"Brother Shen, I heard that your father-in-law has made an engagement with you. Brother Shen is really blessed with double happiness." A young man wearing a lake green robe smiled at Shen Tengwen with his arms folded and a folding fan in his hand. After speaking, The fan was shaken open by him with a 'swipe': "As the saying goes, on the wedding night, when the gold medal is named, although Brother Shen did not come to the gold medal, he was also a scholar this year, and now he wants to marry a wife , what a joy to congratulate.”

Shen Tengwen's eyebrows were furrowed. He was thin, but his appearance was indeed gentle. There was a bookish air between his brows. The blue shirt on him made him appear skinny and skeletal, giving people a sense of justice and dignity.

At this moment, when everyone heard the words of the young man with the fan, they couldn't help but say "congratulations, congratulations" in unison. However, Shen Tengwen didn't necessarily show much joy: "If you haven't achieved success and you haven't achieved fame, how can you talk about getting a wife? Drinking. drink wine!"

"I just don't know what that lady looks like. If she is a first-class beauty, Brother Shen is talented, and that lady is pretty, then she is a match made in heaven." Another scholar patted his thigh with his hand, and Shen Tengwen Hearing this, his brows furrowed:

"I haven't even met each other. It is said that the Duan family has a bad reputation. If they are virtuous and virtuous, I am afraid that their reputation will not spread." Shen Tengwen was depressed and unhappy. After knowing that his parents had arranged a marriage for him, he also expressed his feelings to the family he had never met. His wife had some fantasies, so she asked someone to inquire about it, but she heard that the girl from the Duan family had a bad reputation. At that moment, Shen Tengwen felt a chill in his heart. Even if Mrs. Shen, who was the matchmaker this time, talked to him in a very fancy way, He didn't believe it at all.

Shen Tengwen had objected to his parents, but they had settled the matter with him. Although he had been selected as a scholar, he did not have to pay taxes and tribute to the court every year when he farmed, but there were some benefits but not many. His father is a scholar like him. He only knows how to recite poems and write poems all day long. He is not good at making a living. All his life depends on his mother. The family relies on pawns to make a living and is now heavily in debt.

If he wanted to study, pens, ink, paper and inkstones would be a huge expense every year, and he would not be able to make ends meet in the long run. He is getting older. Although he was selected as a scholar this year, he is not the only young and promising scholar in Huaicheng. He is only handsome in appearance, not tall and powerful. Girls from really wealthy families may not like him. He was chosen because the Duan family was well off, and Mrs. Liu had mentioned to Mrs. Shen that as long as he married a girl from the Duan family, the dowry would be larger. If his wife had money, he could continue his studies. .

In this way, he will concentrate on his books from now on, and he may be able to win the imperial examination in three years. Even if it doesn't work, the money from Lily's dowry will be enough to support him. Then he can find a job as a master, and once he joins the county magistrate's job, With good luck and some money, I might be able to become an official in this life. His parents analyzed the interests with him very clearly, and Shen Tengwen finally had no choice but to agree.

But even though he agreed, he was not necessarily happy in his heart. After all, although his mother and aunt repeatedly mentioned the beauty of this lady, in Shen Tengwen's view, it was all just to make him happy.

If Lily is really as virtuous and beautiful as they say, why is she seventeen years old and yet she hasn't spoken to anyone yet? The average girl is fifteen or sixteen years old, who doesn’t get married? There must be a reason for delaying marriage until now. Ever since he got married, he has never been happy. Today he went out to have a good time with a group of literati, and heard his classmates mention this matter, which just touched Shen Tengwen's unhappiness. He shook his head and composed two more poems.

"Brother Shen, maybe he's an ignorant and talkative woman in the market. I just heard it from hearsay." Someone looked at his depressed look and awkwardly explained.

Shen Tengwen didn't appreciate it. He just sneered twice when he heard this: "It's just a rumor, but it may not be without reason!" After he said this, everyone hurriedly cheered and drank, and then the matter was settled.

"I heard that the scholar is excellent at calligraphy and painting, so why not paint a picture and write a poem for the slave family..." The woman sitting next to Shen Tengwen leaned towards him with a wink, while picking up Shen Tengwen's calligraphy.

If the ladies on the banks of the Huaihe River can get a copy of the scholar's calligraphy, if the scholar achieves a little success in the future, the girl's net worth will increase more than ten times. Therefore, once someone asks for portraits and poems, the others will also start to write poems. Begging softly. (To be continued ~^~)
