"Okay, mother, my son is going back to the house first."

"Don't forget to take your medicine." Shen's mother warned.

"Well……"

Returning to his room, Shen Li felt as if there were ten thousand alpacas galloping around in his heart. “This is an arranged marriage, an evil feudal society!”

The Xiao family did not live in the Shen family, and the city lord of Wancheng seemed to have an old relationship with the Xiao family, so he entertained the Xiao family again in the evening.

The Xiao family set out to return to the Suzaku Empire the next day. The city lord personally saw them off, along with many wealthy businessmen and celebrities from Wancheng.

After sending the Xiao family off, the heads of the Shen family, Shen Kuo, Shen Wande, Shen Wancai and other members of the Shen family held another meeting. Everyone expressed their strong approval of the marriage and unanimously believed that the Shen family could marry the Xiao family, which was equivalent to the Shen family climbing a tree. The big tree is a blessing to the Shen family.

Although the Xiao family did not directly propose that Shen Li marry into the family, they just said it tactfully at the wine table yesterday. Everyone is understanding. Because the Xiao family is too powerful, everyone in the Shen family finally came to the conclusion and decided to let Shen Li marry into the family. .

"Son, I didn't ask for your thoughts on this matter. I feel guilty as a father, but the matter has come to this. For the sake of the family, I have wronged you. As a father, I am reluctant to let go of your child." Shen Wande stood in front of Shen Li. Said the shoulder with tears.

"Father, I have only one question to ask."

"Ask!"

"What does this young lady from the Xiao family look like? Is she beautiful or ugly? Is she tall or short? Is she fat or thin? Do you know?" Shen Li asked.

"Well, well, my father has never seen a girl from the Xiao family. However, from a prestigious family like the Xiao family, the girls in the next generation must be knowledgeable, courteous, gentle, and have an unmistakable appearance. Don't worry. ." Shen Wande said firmly.

"Okay, Dad, don't do this or that. You don't know much. I'm going back." Shen Li thought to himself, how is this different from opening a blind box.

"This kid is so superficial. He needs to take his medicine on time."

"I know."

Shen Li found his grandfather Shen Kuo again.

Shen Kuo was enjoying the afternoon sun on a bamboo deck chair.

"Grandpa, Li'er has something to ask you." Shen Li said respectfully.

Shen Kuo sat up, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. "Why are you so polite? We have something to say."

"Grandpa, as far as I know, the Xiao family is one of the four major families in the Suzaku Empire and has a great reputation. How did our Shen family become such a famous family as the Xiao family?"

"The Xiao family is doing well, and our family is indeed high-ranking. There is a legitimate son of the Xiao family who is a fellow disciple of your third uncle in Qingyun Clan. Your third uncle saved the life of this Xiao family member, and this person is the same as your third uncle. My uncle became brothers with different surnames and proposed that the two families get married. Your third uncle wrote to me to inform me of this. I wrote back to him and said that your eldest brother’s son Shen Li has just turned sixteen this year and has read poetry and books. , Not yet married. Your third uncle replied to me and said that the Xiao family will come to visit me soon to discuss the marriage, and it didn’t take long for the Xiao family to come to my door. "

"Then grandpa, does the third uncle's letter say that the two families are getting married and that I must be the son-in-law?" Shen Li asked.

"Your third uncle didn't say it, but I took the initiative to bring up the matter of our son-in-law to the Xiao family."

"Ah? Grandpa, why are you doing this? Your grandson is a little reluctant to get married." Shen Li was confused. After all, being a son-in-law in his previous life was not a glorious thing. "Li'er, the Suzaku Empire has strong soldiers and horses. And with the support of Qingyun Sect, a cultivating sect, it is the most powerful country in the Eastern Region. Grandson, you have great talents. If you can rely on the big tree of the Xiao family, your future is limitless. You must go out of a small country like Chuyun and increase your knowledge and experience. , when you become famous and capable, you should do your best to benefit the people and avoid wars.

"My grandson has been taught a lesson. A good man has his ambitions in all directions. If he can realize his great ambitions and benefit the people, there is no harm in enduring humiliation and heavy burdens!" Shen Li said firmly.

"Good boy, grandpa didn't misjudge you. Just look at you since you were young!"

Shen Li's second uncle, Shen Wancai, who overheard the conversation between the two outside the wall, thought to himself: "Jiang is still too old. The old man talks about morality on the surface, but behind the scenes it is all about business. We are trying to curry favor with the Xiao family, not just to gain Xiao." With their supply channels and resources, they have further monopolized the Chuyun Empire’s high-end fabric market, and they can even talk about benefiting the people, thus deceiving young people.”

Shen Li returned to his room and thought to himself: "I have memories of advanced technology in my previous life, but I really lack a platform to display it. Chuyun is a small country with limited strength. It would be a good thing for me to go to the Suzaku Empire to achieve a career." "

Shen Li has had nothing to do in the past few days, reading books, walking around, running, and exercising. He has been living a leisurely and comfortable life. One afternoon, Shen Li wandered in front of a store called "Tangmen Martial Arts School". Cheng thought that he was also a martial arts enthusiast in his previous life, so he went in to take a look, intending to experience the martial arts in this world.

After entering the door of the martial arts gym, I saw five teenagers training in the courtyard of the martial arts gym. Two of them were doing squats with barbells on their shoulders, and three of them were beating wooden dummies.

"Hello, sir, do you plan to sign up for a class at our Tangmen Martial Arts School?" A middle-aged strong man walked out of the room and greeted Shen Li warmly.

"Oh, hello, uncle, I'm here to understand." Shen Li responded.

"There are recent activities, and the discounts are very strong, and they include teaching and training." Zhuang Khan took out a registration guide for the Tangmen martial arts school and handed it to Shen Li with both hands.

"Nowadays, fewer and fewer young people practice martial arts. They all dream of joining an immortal sect and becoming an immortal cultivator. However, there is only one person in a million who can have the spiritual root of cultivating immortals. For us ordinary people, practicing martial arts is the only way to maintain physical fitness and self-defense. The only choice. You can sign up for our basic class first and give it a try. If you feel you are good at practice, then sign up for the advanced class. Students who have studied in our martial arts school for one year are qualified to take the martial arts master exam." Strong man has introduced.

"Oh? Not bad, then I'll sign up for a basic class first and take a look."
