The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1235 Let Me Think About It

Cheng Feng leaned his head slightly towards Shang Xi and whispered, "This Miss Shi has contracted the plague. If she hadn't, her throat would have pierced the roof of the tent." Obviously, Cheng Feng didn't like listening to this crying play "The Injustice of Dou E".

Shang Xi's big eyes rolled around, and it was obvious that she was not paying attention to the opera. She didn't respond when Cheng Feng talked to her, and she didn't care when Yuhua cried.

Cheng Youning leaned his head towards him and whispered, "Dad, what is this benefactor's daughter singing? I don't understand it. Why is she making everyone cry?"

Cheng Feng whispered: "This play tells a story of an unjust case..."

Just as Cheng Feng and Cheng Youning were whispering below, Shi Hongjiao stopped singing and the song ended.

Wan Lianxing clapped his hands and said in admiration, "Mr. Shi has taught his daughter well. This Miss Shi plays many roles at once. It's not easy. She must have worked hard in private."

At this moment, Mr. Shi felt that his old face had been completely disgraced by his daughter Shi Hongjiao. His face turned blue and white, which was very ugly. Despite this, he still had to explain to his woman: "My daughter often follows her brother Shi Hongshang to watch operas. After a while, she can sing a few lines, but she only knows these two lines, and she can't sing more!"

However, Shi Hongjiao said with great interest: "Dad, I can sing a lot of operas. How about I sing another song for everyone?"

Mr. Shi's face immediately darkened, and he shouted, "How dare you, if you dare to sing another line, I will not acknowledge you as my daughter, kneel down! You scared the emperor with your song just now!"

Wan Lianxing was not frightened, he was shocked. He smiled and waved his hands and said, "No, no, come and let Miss Shi sit down. I am amazed that Miss Shi has grown up to be so generous and has such a good voice."

"Your Majesty, I have caught a cold, otherwise my throat would be clearer."

"Great, great, great!" Wan Lianxing smiled and praised repeatedly.

At this time, Shang Xi suddenly asked, "Miss Shi, do you know martial arts?"

"Yes! How about I perform a dance for you guys?"

"Okay!" Shang Xi looked at Wan Lianxing and said, "Uncle, it's rare to meet a girl who knows martial arts, let her show us some!"

Wan Lianxing gently waved his fan and said, "Okay!"

Shi Hongjiao, who was very graceful, bowed to Wan Lianxing, then flicked his sleeves and started dancing.

With her wrist raised and brows lowered, her jade sleeves fluttering in the wind, her waist flexible and her lotus steps lightly moving, it was obvious that this person had been learning to dance since childhood, otherwise she wouldn't be able to dance so well.

This dance satisfied Wan Lianxing, unlike the song "Dou E Yuan", which almost sent Wan Lianxing away. When the dance was over, Wan Lianxing clapped his hands and praised her endlessly, "The dance is graceful and ethereal, as if a fairy descended to earth. It really feasted our eyes!"

Wan Lianxing hadn't listened to an opera or watched singing and dancing for a long time. Although Shi Hongjiao's dance was not top-notch, it was enough to make him happy.

However, Shang Xi was not satisfied. This "wu" was not the same as the "wu" she was talking about. "Miss Shi, I see that your waist is very flexible and strong. You can learn martial arts!"

"Mrs. Cheng, you have a good eye. You can see this. I have learned martial arts from my brother since I was a child. Although I am not very good at it, I can beat two or three men."

Shang Xi smiled with joy when she heard this, and then hurriedly asked, "Is Miss Shi married?"

Shi Hongjiao touched the corner of her mouth and looked at her father who had a dark face and said, "We were engaged, but the man later broke off the engagement. After that, no one came to propose marriage."

Shang Xi asked: "Why did you cancel the engagement?"

Breaking off an engagement is a big deal. Generally, if one party does not have a major fault, the engagement will not be broken off. If the person whose engagement is broken off is a girl, it will be difficult for her to get married again. Even if someone is willing to marry her, they will lower their status and most of the time they will marry down.

"My fiancé had a bad character, so I beat him in a fit of rage and he broke off the engagement." Speaking of this, Shi Hongjiao looked a bit annoyed. It seemed that this man had never suffered any grievances since he was a child.

Mr. Shi was so angry that he only said one sentence: "I shouldn't have brought you here today. You have completely disgraced me today."

Shang Xi said, "Master Shi, you are right to bring Miss Shi here. If you hadn't brought her here, how would we know that there is such a good girl in your Shi family! I have been to your house twice and have never seen Miss Shi. When I saw her today, I felt that I had met her too late. If I had known her earlier, Miss Shi and I would have become good friends a long time ago."

"This girl is difficult to please and control. How dare you bring her out to see people? She must have contracted the plague, otherwise she would be more cheerful." Although Mr. Shi said this, everyone can see that Shi Hongjiao's temperament must have been spoiled at home. She must be a woman who does whatever she wants. She has a bit of her brother Shi Hongshang's free and easy spirit. She is generous and heartless. Not only does she not make people feel disgusted, but she is also very likable.

Shang Xi thought Shi Hongjiao was pretty good no matter how she looked at her, and couldn't help praising her, "Being energetic is good. People with high energy have abundant yang energy. Just look at the two shouts she made just now. You can clearly feel that she has deep internal energy and strong martial arts skills."

Mr. Shi said, "I regret letting her practice martial arts back then. Now it's all over. When people who are familiar with my daughter ask for marriage, no matter how much dowry she offers, they won't marry her for fear of being beaten."

Shang Xi said: "That's because they have no vision. Now many people want to marry a woman like Miss Shi who is outstanding in appearance and has both literary and martial arts skills. A woman like Miss Shi is the kind of girl that everyone yearns for and dreams of, right, uncle?"

Wan Lianxing was forced to do nothing but smile and nodded vigorously: "Yes, a woman with so many talents like Miss Shi is what I want, what I want!"

"Your Majesty, is there any man of the right age to marry my daughter?" The fact that Mr. Shi could say this shows how difficult it is for his daughter to get married!

Wan Lianxing waved his fan and said, "Let me think about it, let me think about it."

Shang Xi chimed in, "Uncle, General Sha's eldest son, Deputy General Sha Yueteng, is not bad. He is only 27 years old, tall and handsome, and now has great military exploits and a great reputation. Most importantly, he is still unmarried, and is a rare good man."

Upon hearing this, Master Shi hurriedly looked at Wan Lianxing and said, "Your Majesty, our Shi family is a merchant family. My daughter is not worthy of the general's eldest son, right?"

As soon as Wan Lianxing heard this, he knew that Master Shi was satisfied with this marriage. Although he felt embarrassed, he could only bite the bullet and said with a smile: "How can the daughter of the benefactor not be worthy of the eldest son of the Sha family? If I say she is worthy, then she is worthy! I will issue an order to Sha Guanghan, asking his eldest son to prepare to marry your Shi family's daughter."

Cheng Youning leaned his head slightly towards his mother, and then whispered, "Mom, why do I feel that this marriage was arranged in a hurry?"
