Wear It with Space
Chapter 59:
When Shen Ling was seventeen, he agreed to William's marriage proposal. In the past two years, although she has worked very hard to find a suitable marriage partner. But in the end, it was discovered that the young people around her were either aiming at her generous dowry or some mere appearances.
In fact, Shen Ling didn't find anyone with good appearance, but the opponent's rank was either higher or slightly lower than her. The former is because the other party looks down on her, because Mr. Browning is just an ordinary squire and does not have a knighthood. Mrs. Browning would never agree to the latter.
Shen Ling's only fortunate thing is that the husband chosen by Mrs. Browning for her is not the kind of person who cares about his wife's dowry, and he does not have any bad habits. This is also the reason Shen Ling chose him in the end.
In fact, Shen Ling himself did not want to get married so early, but according to Mr. Browning’s father’s will, each heir of the manor must get married before the age of twenty. This rule is for the Browning family’s property to be passed on. .
Without this rule, Shen Ling might choose to live alone until she grows old.
In the first month after getting married, Shen Ling found out that her husband William couldn't say how much he liked him. At most, he just admired him. Every time I saw him before, the shy smile on his face was just a mask to hide his true thoughts. He also had this expression on his face when facing other noble women.
Although he didn't like Shen Ling very much, he didn't show any difference to other noble women. He devoted all his thoughts to his thoroughbred horses, so he did not hesitate to bathe the horses himself.
Shen Ling doesn't like riding horses, so naturally he can't understand his hobby.
Sometimes when William went to her bedroom overnight, Shen Ling could not help but want to yawn when he mentioned the horses he raised. She still sleeps in her own bedroom in the manor. This is also one of the benefits of marrying William. She doesn't have to move to another place and still lives with her parents.
The baroness sometimes came to the manor as a guest. She and Shen Ling's mother, Mrs. Browning, get along very well, like a close friend, so Shen Ling does not have to deal with the so-called mother-in-law relationship.
After half a year of marriage, Shen Ling felt that she had adapted to her married life, and began to hold a dance party, inviting neighbors and friends to participate. This is also a right of married women to hold dance parties as they please.
The purpose of Shen Ling's dance party is to prepare for the salon to be held in the future. Salons hosted by ladies can easily attract politicians or scholars. Especially the salon hosted by a duchess that Shen Ling knew, gathered a large number of politicians and scholars, and the beauty and talents of the duchess were also spread.
For Shen Ling who wants to get the title of talented woman, this is also a way.
To complete the task assigned to her by the system this time, she can get a thousand points. Shen Ling does not want to miss this opportunity. She still has a lot of crops to harvest, and wants to use these points to complete these tasks.
After two years of marriage, the salon hosted by Shen Ling began to take shape. The salon was held every Tuesday evening. At first, only some familiar friends were invited to conduct some literary discussions. Later, after some familiar friends introduced, Slowly joined a few famous novelists and poets.
Shen Ling was extremely welcome to these people. She took a part of her annuity and used it to help these financially disadvantaged literati.
In this way, friends introduced friends. In addition to literati, there were more artists slowly participating in the salon. For this, Shen Ling showed great enthusiasm.
On Tuesday night when the salon was held, Shen Ling only raised an interesting topic at the beginning, clarified his own point of view, and then began to listen to other people's views, and would have heated discussions with these literati and artists in the middle.
These literati and artists soon discovered that her views were particularly advanced, and that she had enough talk every time, which were the two conditions that the owner of the salon needed to have.
Shen Ling's talent spread little by little through the salon.
Shen Ling first held a salon for his talents, but later discovered that it became more and more interesting to talk with these people about the gossip between the nobles, to talk about the political topics of various countries, and to have meaningful discussions.
When Shen Ling became pregnant in the third year of marriage, William tried to persuade her to stay in bed, but she refused. Shen Ling knew that in William's heart, he really couldn't understand why his wife was so keen on holding salons, but because Shen Linghua was his dowry, he couldn't control Shen Ling.
Since Shen Ling doesn't have much feelings for this husband, he doesn't care about his thoughts. Holding a salon does not consume energy. On the contrary, she often communicates with literati and artists, which is beneficial to her body and mind. It is regarded as prenatal education.
Nine months later, Shen Ling Ping An gave birth to a baby boy named Edward, which is her favorite name. She especially liked it before watching "Twilight" because the hero of "Jane Eyre" Take this name in your name. And Shen Ling was obsessed with "Jane Eyre" for a while in high school, so she had a good impression of the name.
The birth of Edward means that both the Browning family manor and the title of Baron Dubreville have heirs. Mr. Browning and the William family are very happy about this.
After Shen Ling waited for Edward for three months, he continued to hold his own salon.
Then I saw Malfoy on Tuesday night. Malfoy was still unmarried these years. Shen Ling admired his courage and perseverance. When he saw him appear in his salon, he couldn't help but smile.
After waiting for the greeting, Malfoy said in an interesting tone, "Mrs. Doberville, I don't think you will get married so early, after I think you are a very thoughtful girl."
Shen Ling smiled and said, "Knowing the current affairs is also a manifestation of thinking."
In the next time, the two did not have a chance to have a long conversation. Shen Ling was busy entertaining a new painter and poet, and he couldn't help but ignore Malfoy.
She had thought that Malfoy would not be seen next Tuesday, but she didn't expect the latter to arrive early on Tuesday night.
Shen Ling teased him that his salon did not have attractive girls and young women, and Malfoy replied that he had enough to deal with women, and it was rare to have such a relaxing party.
Shen Ling believed that it was true, and it was not until Malfoy appeared in her salon for the third time and implicitly stated that they could have a long-term friendship, that Shen Ling realized that he did not know when he had become one of his prey.
After being married for such a long time, Shen Ling already knew that if he had a lover, William would probably not interfere. But she herself has a more traditional aspect, not to mention that Malfoy is not the type she likes, and it is not enough to make her tempted.
Her current focus is still on her salon, and in a few years, she should be able to be called a talented woman of this era.
The author has something to say: The scum author finds that he is still more suitable for writing house fighting. . .
