Chapter 1695: What a Fantastic Idea
"Then do you know his family's criteria for choosing a son-in-law?" Shi Xiangjun asked.

"What standard?" Shi Kaiwen looked at Shi Xiangjun in confusion. "My family has a relationship with the emperor, so he is marrying above his station."

Shi Xiangjun almost fainted, "Climbing above your station?"

"The first two young ladies of the Guan family married marquises. How could they bear to marry the youngest daughter to a lower position? Apart from other things, big brother, do you have the ability to support them?"

Shi Xiangjun originally didn't want to say this, as it wouldn't change Shi Kaiwen's lack of ambition. She just got mad at him.

"Their family is rich. I have inquired about it. The Guan family has no sons. I can be their son-in-law."

Being a son-in-law is not a glorious thing these days.

Generally, it is when a poor family has many sons and cannot find a wife that they will give up one of their sons to marry into the girl's family.

Many sons-in-law who marry into the woman's family will never be able to hold their heads up high for the rest of their lives.

Of course there are good ones, but many of them are criticized.

Many people are unwilling to do so, so they try their best to marry a daughter-in-law.

"Son-in-law?"

"Yeah, it doesn't matter. I don't care. Besides, don't we still have Xiao Yue?"

Shi Kaiwen is quite open-minded.

"The Guan family has indeed thought about this, but I heard that the son-in-law they are looking for is also from the list of candidates. Master Guan was waiting last time. Even if they want to marry into the family, the son-in-law must be a good student."

"You don't know about me, do you?" Shi Kaiwen said, "How can you know if you don't try? When the time comes, you can invite Miss Guan to your home and let her meet me. We can talk and maybe this thing will work out."

Shi Xiangjun couldn't help laughing.

And brought it home and talked to it.

Fortunately he could figure it out.

"Brother, it's not even dark yet, and you're already dreaming?"

Shi Kaiwen is not Old Lady Shi, so he doesn't need to consider filial piety.

In addition, Shi Kaiwen's shamelessness had already left Shi Xiangjun speechless, so she was not polite at all.

"What are you dreaming about? If you don't help me, I'll tell..."

"Who should I tell?" Shi Xiangjun looked over coldly. "Tell grandma? She got into trouble herself. Now people are looking for her to punish her. She has already run away. How can she care about your trivial matter?"

Shi Kaiwen looked at Shi Ce, who spread his hands and said, "I can't control this matter."

"But, Kaiwen, if you want to marry a good wife, you have to have strong abilities. You are poor, you can't study, you can't endure hardships, and you are not very handsome. Which good girl would be willing to choose you?"

Shi Ce was soft-hearted after all, and thought that if he could persuade him, he might as well do it, just in case he would come to his senses.

However, this possibility is impossible.

"Uncle San, if that's the case, why would I come to you for help?" Shi Kaiwen had his own reasons.

He came to the capital just to take a shortcut.

Seeing him like this, Shi Ce was too lazy to speak, "Then you may not be able to find a wife."

This is not meant to scare him.

Now that girls have a way out, they have higher standards for looking at people. The Shi family doesn't have much money, and a boy like this who doesn't make progress is likely to remain single.

Shi Kaiwen did not give up. When he got the chance, he asked Shi Xiangjun to take him to see Miss Guan.

Shi Xiangjun has said it many times that she doesn't know Miss Guan. She has met many girls in the capital, but they are not very familiar with each other and she has never even spoken to most of them.

Even if she really wanted to help, she couldn't.

"Dad, you should keep an eye on Big Brother recently."

"What's wrong?" Shi Ce asked. Shi Xiangjun looked embarrassed, "I'm worried that if we don't help him, he will come up with some bad ideas, and it will be bad if he gets into trouble."

Shi Ce took a deep breath. This really seemed like something his nephew could have done.

"How about we just drive them away?"

Shi Ce also experienced disappointment again and again with them and gave up hope.

"Even if we drive them away, they will come back again." said Shi Xiangjun.

She couldn't ask the emperor for help to prevent Shi Kaiwen from entering the capital forever. How could she have the nerve to bother others with family affairs?

Although, she knew that Tang Haojing would help her.

"Xiang Jun, I'm worried that your cousin will affect you and Xiao Yue."

No matter how good Shi Ce is, there is no reason for him to treat other people's children better than his own.

What's more, his own children are obedient and filial, which Shi Kaiwen can't compare to in any way.

"Dad, he can't influence me. Xiaoyue is still young. As long as he doesn't learn bad things, he will be fine."

"Sister, I won't learn from him. I want to learn from you."

Shi Kaiyue also knew that his sister was very outstanding and many people liked her.

"Will he really do something stupid? What if he does?"

"He..." Shi Xiangjun smiled, "What great things can he achieve?"

She knew this cousin too well. He was not good at studying, did not work carefully, and could not even do bad things.

Because he doesn't have the courage or the intention to do it.

"Don't worry about it, leave it to me. I will make sure that we can have peace again."

Xiang nodded, "Just listen to Xiangjun, but Xiangjun, it's been more than a month, why hasn't your teacher come back yet?"

Shi Xiangjun shook her head. "Maybe it's because the journey is too long. The teacher and his wife are old too. It's not easy for them to go back. Anyway, I haven't fallen behind. The imperial examination is still a long way off."

"That's true." Shi Ce nodded, "Xiangjun is a child who can be trusted. It is a blessing for your mother and me to have you."

Xiang nodded. Who said it wasn’t?

How good is her daughter, how could she not know?
"By the way, when I went to the street today, Old Man Wan asked me where your grandma is?"

Shi Xiangjun was stunned for a moment, "Why did he ask grandma? Could it be..."

Could it really be a bad fate?

Xiang guessed that she was thinking the wrong thing, "No, he said your grandma broke his things and asked him to pay for it."

Shi Xiangjun laughed, "I thought... Haha, it's only right for him to compensate for the damage, even though it was grandma who broke it. I'll give him the money tomorrow."

"I thought so too, but you still have a way. Your grandma won't dare to come anymore." Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, she no longer had to worry about the money she gave to the children being squandered by the old lady.

She was not reluctant to spend normally, but they were not a wealthy family, and a life of extravagance was not suitable for them.

The family was chatting while Shi Kaiwen was lying in the room, not wanting to move after eating.

Just at this moment, someone came from the palace.

"No need to kneel. The emperor asked me to bring a message to Miss Shi."

"What?" Shi Xiangjun asked.

"The Emperor said that the girl messed up his books last time, so he asked you to go over and reorganize them. Also, the vegetable garden needs to be rid of insects."
