Chapter 1523: There are bound to be pitfalls when trying to catch a son-in-law (3)
It was also thanks to the help of these loyal servants, otherwise Shen Jiwei's family would have gone out to beg for food long ago just based on Fang's ability to read and recite poems.
But Fang still disliked Shen Jiwei very much. Whenever she saw Shen Jiwei, she would lose her temper and even had a bad look towards Shen Runing.
Mrs. Fang hated Shen Jiwei, and even more hated the two elders of the Shen family.
After all, she is now considered the daughter of an official family. If it hadn't been for the marriage proposal from Shen Jiwei's family, she would have been an official wife by now.
As a child, Shen Runing was not sensible, so she felt very happy when Shen Jiwei played with her.
It's just that her mother was always cold to him, so Shen Runing was so scared that she didn't even dare to say anything. ??
When Shen Runing grew older, she keenly discovered that only when she screamed at Shen Jiwei, her mother would look at her with loving eyes.
The other little sisters of the same age stayed away from her and laughed at her for having a crazy father.
Shen Runing, who had no friends, yearned for maternal love even more, to the point where Fang had to obey her every word.
Even in order to get closer to her mother, Shen Runing began to bully Shen Jiwei.
Sure enough, after Shen Runing started to treat Shen Jiwei coldly, Fang's attitude towards Shen Runing improved a lot.
Even occasionally when he was in a good mood, he would give Shen Runing a few books.
Feeling that she had gained the favor of her mother, Shen Runing began to bully Shen Jiwei even harder.
Although Shen Jiwei couldn't figure out why his daughter suddenly didn't like him, he still followed his daughter cautiously.
In his eyes, Shen Runing, who did not hit him, was the person he loved most in the world.
Shen Runing was so entangled until she was 14 years old.
In recent years, Mrs. Fang has not been close to her daughter. Instead, she has been extremely interested in the children of her elder brother and younger brother.
It wasn't until after sending the eldest girl from her brother's house out that Ms. Fang remembered that Shen Runing should also find her husband's family.

Due to Shen Jiwei's situation and Fang's aloofness not wanting to "complicit" with merchants.
No one has come to propose marriage in these years.
After all, those merchants who have scholars in their families are not willing to marry a fool, and those pure merchants cannot stand a mother-in-law like Fang.
Thanks to her parents, Shen Runing's marriage was delayed.
After discovering that her daughter's marriage had been delayed, Ms. Fang became anxious. Having a crazy husband at home was enough to make her angry.
If she had another daughter who couldn't get married, she might as well hang herself with a hemp rope to stay pure.
With this idea in mind, Fang Xiuxiu gave it to his eldest brother, who also became a fellow Jinshi, and wanted to discuss ideas with him.
Fang's sister-in-law originally looked down upon her sister-in-law's family background as a merchant.
So with a bit of teasing, she asked her eldest brother to write the words "Catch a son-in-law under the list" in the letter.
Who would have thought that her eldest brother is also an unknown person? Her eldest brother's knowledge is really limited, and he finally won the exam in middle age.
By the time he was admitted to the Tongjinshi Examination, it was already past his forties, and he originally thought of asking his sister to donate money to him for a government official position, just like his father did back then.
Who would have thought that his sister was too worldly and would reject her over and over again.
My sister doesn't even think about it, if her father hadn't cared too much about political performance and didn't dare to reach out for money, but he kept taking money out of his own pocket to maintain relationships.
How could he possibly ask a merchant to borrow money? He is a man of integrity!
The eldest brother of the Fang family was originally dissatisfied with his sister, but after hearing his wife's teasing, he suddenly became energetic.
When the rankings were released
, when he saw those young children being carried back to get married, the eldest brother of the Fang family felt that this was both elegant and interesting.
I just wish I could be a teenager and participate in it personally, maybe it would become a popular story in the future.
Hearing his wife's teasing at this time made him even more interested. He personally wrote and revised Fang's book, and planned for Fang to capture her son-in-law.
He also specifically warned Mr. Fang that if he wanted to catch his son-in-law, he must not do so when the results of the provincial examination were released.
Scholars have a noble character. If the other party wins the lottery, they will definitely not choose a merchant's daughter as their future wife.
Therefore, it would be better for Fang to bring back a scholar with good grades.
It's best to have someone with a poor family background but good grades. In this way, after Fang promised Shen Runing to him, it would be like providing help in times of need.
As long as you spend a little money to support the other person's education for a period of time, Shen Runing will naturally become an official's wife by the time the other person reaches high school. ??
If you are lucky, you may be able to have a royal status in the future, and you won't have to live in such a wasteful life like Fang.
The words of the sister-in-law of the Fang family are full of ridicule and ridicule, while the eldest brother of the Fang family is full of romantic affairs.
In their eyes, although Shen Runing was born from the Fang family, she was still the daughter of a merchant in the final analysis.
If I didn't know people so well, I'd probably have to be a concubine.
Therefore, the eldest brother of the Fang family was very proud and thought he had pointed out a clear path for his sister.
Mrs. Fang read the letter carefully several times and couldn't help but be impressed by the idea her elder brother gave her.
She was originally a noble person who did not value money, and she had long been extremely impatient with household chores.
Anyway, Shen Runing is a daughter, and she has a lifelong hope of becoming an official's wife in the future. Coupled with the Shen family's wealth, her life will definitely be more comfortable than that of a mother like her.
When the time comes, she will transfer all her business and shops out of her home and read and write when she has nothing to do. Wouldn't it be a wonderful life?
Immediately thinking of it, she decided to do it. Fang sent someone out to get a rough idea of the home conditions of these newly born children.
Since we want to capture a son-in-law, we naturally have to capture someone who has never been married.
Mrs. Fang didn't want to capture someone who had been married. After all, Shen Runing was her biological daughter and not an enemy.
It would be a huge loss to bring back someone with a good family background.
After this investigation, Fang initially found a suitable candidate.
The man's name was Mu Zhen, he was second in the children's examination, and he was just sixteen years old this year.
Mu Zhen's family was poor, but he was extremely motivated. His father died young, leaving him with only a widowed mother and four older sisters, guarding a few acres of thin farmland.
Later, there was no other way to make a living in the family, so in order to support Mu Zhen's education, his mother sold all the land in the family.
At least several of her sisters had gotten married one after another, and they could subsidize Mu Zhen from time to time, so that Mu Zhen would not drop out of school.
Mu Zhen was on the bright side. He knew how difficult it was for his sister and family, so he worked even harder on his studies. He qualified as a child student right after finishing school last year.
In order to allow him to successfully take the hospital examination this year, the widowed mother was so cruel that she mortgaged the house where she lived, and took turns staying with her son at the homes of several of her daughters.
Being a sojourner would inevitably lead to criticism, so Mu Zhen endured the probing gaze of everyone and prepared for the exam under all kinds of pressure.
The strength of his mental endurance is evident.
After learning that there was such a person, Mrs. Fang was really overjoyed.
This is simply the uncle tailor-made for her by God.
In such a harsh environment, he can become the second place in the children's voice test. If there is a good study environment
