At this time, in the courtyard of the temple, the two night watchmen were frowning and staring at the woman in front of them defensively.
Generally, when a man meets a poor woman, his first reaction is to extend a helping hand to help her, and he may also feel bad about the woman who is alone because of her beautiful appearance.
But the two men in front of me are different. People like them who have been traveling all year round have encountered all kinds of strange things. Generally, such a woman who appeared in the wilderness, especially a woman as beautiful as the one in front of her, must have all kinds of terrible dangers hidden behind her.
Imagine a beautiful young woman in such a wilderness. Even if she had to find a place to hide from the rain due to heavy rain, after finding out that there are men in this dilapidated temple, the first reaction of the other party is not to come in but to run away. .
This era is not the future, there are no cameras and convenient mobile phones everywhere. In addition, this is an era when men make profits, and a beautiful woman alone is very dangerous. She has absolutely no courage to approach a group of men on her own initiative.
However, this woman came in, not only repeatedly emphasizing that she was alone, but also showing her face on purpose.
Shen Chenyu took another step towards the door, and couldn't help feeling worried. Because the woman outside was really good-looking, he was worried that the two men outside would not be able to bear it, so don't just let each other in when the time comes.
Today's Shen Chenyu is like a frightened bird. When a little strange person approaches them, he can't help but think of the Shen family in Qingcheng County.
It's okay if the other party is a man, but it's relatively more troublesome if the other party is a woman. Shen Chenyu's upbringing is still very good, he is not willing to do anything to a woman unless he is forced to, because he always feels that a man is very low when he does it to a woman.
Just when Shen Chenyu was thinking this way, after hearing the two men watching the night, someone suddenly spoke to the woman.
"The girl is very sorry, we can't let you in. If you really want to hide from the rain, I remember that there is a cave in front of you, and the girl can go there temporarily to avoid the rain. If the girl is scared alone, we can give it to you." Miss, use a torch to defend yourself."
The young woman was taken aback when she heard the words, she never expected to encounter such a situation. She looked at her rain-soaked clothes, and she saw a very exquisite figure looming. Could it be that the man who said this had a problem with his eyes, didn't he see how pitiful and weak she was?
Before the young woman could continue to say anything, the man who had just spoken handed her a torch, as if in order not to appear cold and ruthless, the man then handed the woman a coir raincoat.
Seeing this, the young woman couldn't continue to make trouble, otherwise it would appear that she had malicious intentions, so she could only leave the temple under the watchful eyes of the man.
Looking at the back of the young woman in the heavy rain, another man in charge of the night watch couldn't bear it and said: "Ah Wu, you are so cruel every time. Although it is strange that there are women in this kind of place, but she is It's just a weak little woman, is it possible that our group will fall into her hands?"
Ah Wu frowned when he heard what his companion said, but instead of continuing to talk about this topic, he raised his head and looked at the night in the rain .
"It's better to be more cautious. Have you forgotten the fate of the sixth child? There are old and young in my family. I can't be planted in the wilderness for no reason because of a woman. What's more, a beautiful woman is so beautiful. Well, instead of staring at a woman who doesn't know what she wants, it's better to make money and go look for it in the Goulan courtyard. At least the woman there won't kill you for no reason." The
companion fell silent when he heard the words, and seemed to remember it. For the sixth child's fate, I just felt a little depressed for a while.
"You're right. Let's not mess with this kind of unknown woman. Although the wife in my house is not beautiful, she is sincerely good to me. I'm still waiting to go back and have a baby with her."
Seeing that the woman outside had left, Shen Chenyu lay back down lightly. Unexpectedly, these people in the caravan are quite reliable, so Shen Chenyu can finally sleep with peace of mind.
This time Shen Chenyu slept until noon the next day, because the heavy rain outside never stopped, Liu Fuzi and others let Shen Chenyu fall asleep. Anyway, it's not suitable for them to continue their journey in the current weather, so it's better to take advantage of this time to let Shen Chenyu sleep for a while.
This time, besides Mr. Liu and his five students, there were three other students of similar age who followed the caravan to Fucheng. These three people had no sense of existence on weekdays, and they were not in the same carriage as Liu Fuzi and others, so the people on both sides hadn't had much contact.
Now that they were trapped here because of the heavy rain, the three of them were really bored, so they started chatting with Chen Youli and others. All three of them were candidates for the government examination this time, and all three of them had ranked relatively high in the county examination before. Among them, the most powerful person was just in front of Shen Chenyu, and he was the second place in the county examination this time.
When the three of them heard that the third place in the county examination was also here, they couldn't help being a little curious about Shen Chenyu.
So after Shen Chenyu woke up, a thin scholar with a fair face approached him with a friendly face. However, before Shen Chenyu asked in doubt, the other party introduced herself enthusiastically.
"I've heard about Brother Shen's name for a long time. I'm next to He Yue, who is also a candidate for this government examination."
When he was looking at the red list before, He Yue noticed Shen Chenyu's name, because their two names were next to each other. Easy to notice at a glance.
Before, he thought that Shen Chenyu's name was elegant, but now after meeting Shen Chenyu himself, he felt that he not only had a good name but also looked good.
Shen Chenyu's temperament is very gentle, giving people a sense of comfort in the spring breeze. Especially with his outstanding appearance, it gives people a feeling of wanting to be close.
Shen Chenyu got up from the haystack, even though he was sleeping in a mess just now, it still didn't affect his demeanor.
"It's a coincidence. I've seen Brother He's name on the red list before. I didn't expect to meet him here by such a fate."
When the two of you were polite to each other, there was a sudden burst of noisy voices outside. , it seems that several people are arguing about why.
Seeing this, Shen Chenyu smiled at He Yue, and followed Chen Youli and the others to the outside. When he saw the woman who left and returned last night, the smile that had been on his lips froze for a moment.
The other brother was outside early in the morning. Seeing the puzzled faces of the brothers, he leaned over and explained to them in a low voice.
"When I came out, this woman came over in a mess, and there was a man behind her. The man had a wicked look on his face. He insisted that this woman was his wife who had run away. He just came in and said nothing. Take the man away. At first, the caravan man didn't meddle in other people's business, but later the woman hugged the caravan steward's thigh, and the man said that she had an affair with the steward, and then in front of the caravan man's The people in charge of the caravan will feel strange when they see this, but they can't let the other party hurt their heads, so they arrested the man together."
Then, they saw of this scene. At this time, the woman looked disheveled, and while begging them for help, she clung tightly to the leg in charge and did not let go.
The person in charge was probably pissed off, but he couldn't really do anything to the woman, so he could only temporarily agree to let the woman go with the caravan first. The noise that Shen Chenyu and the others heard just now was caused by the dispute between the caravan and the man.
Shen Chenyu glanced at the woman when she heard the words. Not only did he not feel that the woman looked pitiful, but he had the illusion of being targeted by a poisonous snake.
He used to always feel that this world was unfair to women and brothers. But sometimes I realize that not all women and brothers are pitiful and worthy of cherishing and sympathy.
Just like the woman in front of me, no matter what she came for. Looking at her poor acting skills and the appearance of using all means to achieve her goals, Shen Chenyu couldn't feel sympathy for some reason.
Seemingly sensing Shen Chenyu's gaze, the young woman who had been crying and crying, suddenly looked in Shen Chenyu's direction.
Most of the people here are nerds, and when He Yue saw the pear blossoms on her face, he wanted to go forward and put a dress on her. As a result, before the other party could step forward, Shen Chenyu reached out and stopped the other party's footsteps.
He Yue looked at Shen Chenyu with a puzzled expression, never expecting that Shen Chenyu would stop him suddenly, he stretched out his hand and pushed Shen Chenyu away a little impatiently.
"Brother Shen, why did you stop me? This girl must have been greatly wronged by her appearance. The man just now saw that she was not a good thing. At this time, we can't stand by and watch, otherwise, wouldn't the sage books for so many years be read in vain?"
As He Yue said so, he braved the heavy rain and walked over there. The two people who were walking with He Yue looked at each other, then smiled apologetically, and then followed He Yue's pace to catch up.
Originally, Shen Chenyu thought that He Yue was not bad, so she wanted to reach out her hand to remind the other party not to be fooled, but when she saw the other party's reaction now, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes at the sky.
Such a simple drama can't be seen through, He Yue is either really stupid because of reading, or he is pretending to be stupid to covet the beauty of other girls.
Anyway, whether it is the former or the latter, such a person is not worthy of his close friendship. Forget it, let's see who this woman's target is. If the other party's target is not him, he can just stand aside and watch a good show.
Shen Chenyu didn't feel guilty at all, because as a stranger, his actions just now were already a reminder that something was wrong. It's a pity... people don't admit his feelings at all, and they also say that he has read so many sage books for nothing.
In fact, what Shen Chenyu didn't know was that, like those poor scholars who wrote scripts, most of them would daydream. Just like in the story book, I can meet a beautiful woman in the wild in the wild. It would be best for them to have a scene where the hero saves the beauty, and then have a dewy marriage with that woman that others will envy.
This is something that most men will think about. They don't care about the other party's background, let alone who the other party is, anyway, they won't suffer.
Shen Chenyu hates this very much, it's not because he is such a gentleman, nor is he so pure-hearted, but he just thinks that this kind of unfeeling and unmediated sexual intercourse is like wild cats and dogs profusely on the side of the road Same.
Before Shen Chenyu could continue to complain, He Yue over there took off his outer shirt and gently put it on the woman's thin body. Before the woman opened her mouth to speak, He Yue was so moved by herself.
"Girl, don't worry, He is a man with a strong body, so he is not afraid of the cold." The
woman hurriedly lowered her head to hide the twitching corners of her mouth. She was worried about how to get in touch with these scholars before, but this silly scholar ran over happily.
Seeing her like this, He Yue thought that the other party was shy. He didn't know what he had imagined, and a trace of shyness flashed across his fair face.
"Don't be afraid, girl. I will send the thief to the government when I arrive at Fucheng, and I will definitely give you justice." The
woman was immediately moved when she heard the words, she lowered her head and wiped her tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Many... Thank you benefactor for saving your life. The little girl really doesn't know how to repay it." Benefactor
? Who is benefactor? The ones who saved people... No, the ones who were forced to save people weren't the people from the caravan?
Is it because the men in the caravan are not good-looking, or because the men in the caravan are not decent enough, so they are not worthy of being your benefactor?
Shen Chenyu couldn't listen anymore, so she pulled Chen Youli by her side and turned around and entered the temple. Before Shen Chenyu complained about the outside world, Master Liu reminded them to stay away from that woman.
In fact, they didn't need to be reminded by Mrs. Liu, they also vaguely sensed that something was wrong. They didn't say anything before, because they held the mentality of having nothing to do with themselves.
Now that woman is obviously coming for them, and it is such a critical moment to take part in the government examination, a group of people can't help but start to think more.
The rain in the afternoon finally subsided, and everyone simply cleaned up and set off. They were delayed a lot of time along the way. The caravan's trip was mainly for business, and if the time was delayed for too long, it would have some impact.
The strange woman from before finally got into He Yue's carriage. At the beginning, Shen Chenyu was a little worried whether this woman came after him. But later they rushed to Fucheng along the way, and the other party didn't take the initiative to come to him, so Shen Chenyu guessed that she might be overwhelmed.
Until they arrived at Fucheng and found an inn near Fucheng Gongyuan, the man who was arrested ran away for some reason. He Yue wanted everyone's help to catch the man. At first Shen Chenyu's brothers also wanted to help, but they were stopped by Master Liu.
"Differences do not conspire with each other. You are not on the same side as them. It is better not to meddle in too many things."
Although the senior brothers felt puzzled, they had always listened to the master's words very much, and they did not continue to meddle in the other side when they heard the words thing.
Because they came to Fucheng in advance, and there is still some time before the official examination of the government, it is not suitable for them to live in the inn all the time. Because the daily accommodation fee in the inn is very expensive, the price will increase several times when you meet Fushi. Even if their families are not bad, there is no need to spend too much money on this.
What's more, the inn is full of people coming and going, so it's not suitable for them to study and prepare for the exam with peace of mind. So after staying at the inn for one night, they rented a yard nearby the next day.
It is just right for them to rent a yard for a group of six people. They don't have to live under the same roof with strangers, and everyone knows each other well and can take care of each other.
Not long after Mr. Liu and his party stayed, He Yue and others also rented the yard next door. He Yue and the others plus the woman made a total of four people, and the yard they rented was relatively large, so it was inevitable that other candidates would live in.
Sure enough, Master Liu came back with them to familiarize themselves with Fucheng this day, and found that several candidates had come to the courtyard next door. What made Shen Chenyu's mood very complicated was that the people who lived in He Yue's yard were all old acquaintances, they were Feng Dahan and his two classmates.
Shen Chenyu had a feeling that the other party was haunted, and while following Master Liu and the others into her yard, she couldn't help but start to think in her heart.
He Yue and the caravan searched for a long time in Fucheng in order to catch the escaped man two days ago, but to no avail. Shen Chenyu vaguely felt that the man's ability to escape probably had a direct relationship with that strange woman, otherwise how could he run away just fine when he was tied up?
What's more, there is obviously something wrong with that woman, and she came here for scholars like them in the first place. From the time when the other party recognized He Yue as benefactor before, to later not avoiding suspicion, she was in the same carriage with He Yue and others, and now she lives with He Yue and others in the next yard.
Now that he is a fool, he understands that this woman's mind is not pure. It's a pity that He Yue didn't know if he was really stupid or not, and he didn't see anything wrong with the other party. There are also two classmates next to He Yue, why didn't they remind He Yue when they saw the problem?
But no matter what kind of trouble they are making, as long as these people don't take the initiative to get in front of him, Shen Chenyu doesn't intend to meddle in other people's business.
...
On the second day after Feng Dahan and others stayed, Feng Dahan took the initiative to look for Shen Chenyu. It's a pity that before he saw Shen Chenyu himself, he was sent away by Mrs. Liu.
Although Feng Dahan's brain is not very good, he only wants to cause trouble for Shen Chenyu. But Mr. Liu is very famous in their town, and there are dozens of students accepted. No matter how stupid Feng Dahan is, he dare not disrespect Mr. Liu.
After that, Shen Chenyu didn't pay much attention to it. He and his brothers were detained by the master, and they were locked in the room every day to study hard. Only occasionally when I get tired from reading, I will go out of the room to relax my eyes, and then go back to the room to continue reading after I have a rest.
This time, the main examiner of the government examination was the magistrate of Liangzhou Prefecture. After Mr. Liu asked someone to inquire about the magistrate's preferences, he even spent money to buy the magistrate's pen and ink.
Shen Chenyu and the others took turns to read it, and got a rough idea of the style of this adult's essay, as well as his preferences in poetry and prose, and then practiced for half a month.
In this way, it was time to register for the government examination, and Master Liu took them to the Gongyuan in Fucheng to register. The registration for the county examination is in the county office, and after the government examination, you have to go to the Gongyuan in the city.
The general registration process was the same as the county examination. Since Shen Chenyu happened to be five people, there was no need to find others to help as guarantees. But Fucheng needs two nannies as guarantees. Fortunately, Master Liu still has a good friend. This friend of Mrs. Liu is the gentleman who accompanied Qi Jinwang to buy flowers before.
When everything was ready, the government examination was about to start, and Shen Chenyu didn't wait for Shen Ming to take the title. I don't know if it was because the Shen family in Qingcheng County didn't tell him, or because Shen Mingxian was delayed because of something.
What Shen Chenyu didn't know was that on the second day they came to Fucheng, Shen Mingxian knew that he had come to take part in the government examination. As for why the other party didn't respond, it wasn't that Shen Minglian wanted to let him go out of kindness, but that Shen Minglian's husband almost had a miscarriage due to an accident. At this time, Shen Mingxian had to take care of her husband, and at the same time punish the person who almost caused his husband's miscarriage.
Today's Shen Ming's business is all over Liangzhou Prefecture, and because of the influence of the protagonist's aura, his journey can be said to be smooth. So the current Shen Mingxuan is inevitably a little arrogant, he doesn't care about Shen Chenyu's opponent at all.
Because from Shen Mingxian's point of view, even if Shen Chenyu passes the government examination, the other party is just a little boy. Shen Minglian had dealt with a scholar before, so how could he be afraid of a useless boy.
The biggest thing in Shen Ming's heart is Fu Lang. In his opinion, compared to Shen Chenyu, a scumbag cannon fodder, another person who almost caused his husband to have a miscarriage is more hateful.
The protagonist's almost miscarriage was mentioned in the side story of this novel. The main reason why Shen Chenyu can't remember now is that he didn't look carefully later.
It is also because Shen Mingxian is guarding the protagonist every day, and he is wholeheartedly dealing with another villain's cannon fodder, which saves Shen Chenyu a lot of trouble.
...
Compared to the tranquility on Shen Chenyu's side, the situation in the yard next door is not so wonderful. He Yue is fascinated by that woman now, and now the two of them are sleeping in the same room, it seems that the two of them have already done what they should do.
Before, Shen Chenyu thought narcissistically that this woman was sent by the Shen family in Qingcheng County to deal with him. Now seeing the two of them sticking together all day long, Shen Chenyu realized that the previous guess was that he was being passionate.
However, what Shen Chenyu didn't know was that it was not uncommon for scholars like them with a little fame to meet women or brothers when they were rushing for the exam. Master Liu would stop them before because he met him when he was young.
Most of these women and brothers are miserable, and in order to find a better home for themselves, they will cling to a man in this way.
As for why they like to choose scholars, because most of them either have a good family background, or they may be able to become high officials in the future. These women or buddies will deliberately pick someone they think has potential. As long as the people they choose can make a fortune in the future, they can live a good life even if they become concubines.
A former classmate of Mrs. Liu, a senior brother, picked up a little brother on the road back then. Later, this brother was admitted to Juren and became an official, and the whole family of this little brother ascended to heaven with chickens and dogs.
For these poor families, although being a concubine is not pleasant to say, as long as they can live a good life together, they don't care even if they are pointed at.
This woman is probably even more difficult than those people, and there is even something unspeakable behind the other party's back, otherwise she would not find an accomplice to act together.
On the night before the exam, He Yue had an argument with Feng Dahan because of the woman, and the courtyard next door made a lot of noise until very late before a group of people rested.
Master Liu felt that this environment was very bad, and planned to send the five students to the examination room the next day, so he went to the landlord of the yard to have a good talk.
The yard where they live and the yard next door are both rented out by the same owner. The reason why they chose here at the beginning was because they felt that the surrounding environment was very quiet.
Now that the courtyard next door is making noise every now and then, it's not just about giving people a rest, it's about ruining other people's bright future.
...
Before dawn the next day, Shen Chenyu was called up by Chen Youli. The group simply ate something, then packed lightly and left the small courtyard with the test paper.
There are three government exams in total. The first two exams take one day each, and the third exam takes two days. It is still a test, and the red list will be posted every other day. Then those who pass the exam continue to take the exam, and only those who pass all three exams are considered to have passed the government exam.
The rules of the prefectural examination and the county examination are similar, the only difference is that candidates for the prefectural examination can only be brought in for the examination, as for other pens, inks, papers and inkstones provided by the examination room. It also includes the water and food for the candidates to drink, as well as the sheets and bedding needed for the third overnight stay.
In the previous county examination, candidates from one county competed together for dozens of places in that district. When it comes to the current prefectural examination, candidates from the entire Liangzhou prefecture will compete for less than a hundred places for children.
Although they had already prepared their mental health and knew that there were a lot of candidates in Liangzhou Prefecture, when they saw the dark heads, their faces couldn't help turning pale.
Chen Youli rubbed his hands nervously. It was not the first time he had participated in the government examination, but he was still very nervous. Especially in the face of a scene of nearly two thousand people, Chen Youli suddenly felt a little dizzy.
"There are a lot of people this year, and I suddenly feel a little flustered."
Shen Chenyu heard the words, reached out and patted the other person's shoulder. "Don't worry, since the master let us go, it means we have the strength. Brother, don't be too nervous, just do everything according to your normal heart."
Chen Youli is older than Shen Chenyu, and now he is being held by Shen Chenyu Patting his shoulders to comfort him like this, a look of embarrassment could not help but flash across his face.
"Brother, I will definitely work hard, and strive to participate in this year's college examination with my juniors."
After hearing this, several other senior brothers immediately expressed that they would work hard one by one. We can also go back together.
The examination room of the government examination is the Gongyuan. They have been to the Gongyuan before, and they also know that the front of the Gongyuan is very big. A group of people stood together and slowly lined up to enter the venue. Many people around were relatives and friends of the candidates. Because there were too many people, the scene was very noisy and chaotic.
Shen Chenyu didn't like such a noisy environment, but there were nearly 3,000 people around the four gates of the Gongyuan, even if everyone lowered their voices, it was still very noisy.
Due to the large number of examinees, the four gates of the Tribute Academy were opened together. Many candidates entered the arena from the four entrances. They first went through the inspection of the first door, and then they had to check again when they reached the inner door.
Finally, before entering the number room, you have to sing against the portrait. After all these processes were completed, the sky had already begun to light up.
Shen Chenyu followed the yamen servant who led the way, and finally found her numbered room. Before she had time to see what the numbered room was like, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were brought over together. In addition to the necessities of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, there is also a small bucket of water and two candles.
These things cannot be damaged, and they must be inspected when the papers are handed in. If they are damaged, they will lose money.
Just like the county examination, the chief examiner read out the rules of the examination room as usual, and with the sound of a harsh gong, a group of government officials began to distribute the examination papers of the government examination.
The first test is to post scriptures. Generally, as long as the five classics are read badly, this kind of basic test questions are not a problem. This kind of test of memory is not difficult for Shen Chenyu. So he just took a rough look at the test paper, and began to write his name and place of origin on the test paper and the draft.
After Shen Chenyu confirmed that there were no mistakes in writing, he began to lower his head to answer the questions on the draft. Shen Chenyu answered the questions very quickly on the draft, and the relative fonts were not as strict as those on the test paper.
Because there are many and complicated exam questions this time, Shen Chenyu is worried that if she writes too slowly, she will not have the opportunity to check later. Therefore, in order to gain enough time, he would rather answer the questions faster and scribbled on the draft, rather than save time for the final inspection of the exam.
While Shen Chenyu was writing hard, something happened to the candidates in the room next to him. Although Shen Chenyu was concentrating on answering the questions, she still heard something.
It turned out that the examinee in the room next door accidentally knocked over the inkstone and soiled his own test paper. The other party asked the yamen servant to help change the test paper. After the yamen servant took away his dirty test paper, the examinee became anxious all of a sudden, and kept making all kinds of small movements in his room.
After all, this is the first round of the government exam, and he encountered this kind of situation during the exam, which will definitely affect his mentality to some extent. But it's fine if his mentality explodes. He keeps making all kinds of small movements like this. Doesn't he know that there are other people taking the exam?
Before Shen Chenyu could react, the candidates in the room on the other side exploded. The other party didn't know whether it was because he was too nervous or because he had a hot temper, so he reflected it to the officials in the examination room without saying a word.
Each row of numbered rooms has two yamen servants patrolling, even if one of the yamen servants in their row leaves, a new yamen servant will be replaced immediately.
So when there was some movement here, a yamen servant came over with a dark face, and the other party warned the candidate very severely.
It is very serious to be warned by the government officials in the imperial examination room. Usually, the other party will be dragged out by the government officials the second time. If the other party affects other examinees, it may cancel the opportunity to take the imperial examination in the future, and may even be punished by being punished in public.
Seeing that the neighbors were quiet, Shen Chenyu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. No matter how good his own state of mind is, during such a stressful exam, he will still feel uneasy because of other people's movements.
By noon, Shen Chenyu had almost answered the test paper. Meals at noon will be provided in the examination room, usually a bowl of hot water and two white flour steamed buns. No matter whether the candidates eat or not, they have to pay for this, and the price is more than twice as expensive as the steamed buns outside.
There are two Zamian steamed buns for one penny, and one white flour steamed bun for one penny, and they are all big and solid. For a thin body like Shen Chenyu, a big white steamed bun is usually enough.
However, the steamed buns in the examination room were not big, but they seemed to smell pretty good. But because of the poisoning before, Shen Chenyu didn't dare to eat outside food, but swapped the steamed buns here with the ones in the space. Anyway, the steamed buns are about the same size, even if there are inspectors guarding him, there is no way to enter the numbered room and stare at his steamed buns for research.
This time, Shen Chenyu handed in the paper very slowly, and she didn't leave the examination room until dusk. When he returned to the small courtyard, Chen Youli and the others had already returned. Everyone looked relaxed, and it seemed that they did well in the first round of the government examination.
When several people were taking the exam, Master Liu took care of the matter in the yard next door. The owner of the house waited for the news early in the morning, until the people in the next yard came back, and then he said that their noise at night would affect others.
Although He Yue has a weird personality, he is not as shameless as Feng Dahan. When He Yue heard that he had disturbed others' rest, he immediately ran to Shen Chenyu and the others to apologize, and then discussed with Feng Dahan, who liked to find fault, and planned to put aside the grievances between the two for the time being.
However, Feng Dahan completely ignored him, anyway, he didn't have to take part in this government examination. In addition, among the people next door whose rest was delayed, there was another Shen Chenyu whom he hated very much, so he didn't take He Yue's words of "truce" at all.
Feng Dahan looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, which not only made the landlord who rented out the yard unhappy, but also finally completely angered He Yue and his party.
He Yue's family background was the best among the three of them. After learning that Feng Dahan didn't listen to his advice at all, he took out fifty taels of silver and rented out the entire courtyard where they lived.
He Yue didn't rent the entire yard before, firstly because there were only four of them in his party, and he couldn't use such a big yard at all; secondly, he knew that it was not easy for candidates to find a house at this time, and he didn't want to occupy it just because he had money. empty house.
Now being disgusted by Feng Dahan, He Yue rented out the whole yard in one go. In addition, the owner of the house was also very displeased with Feng Dahan, so he made a favor and drove him away.
Now the few people who followed Feng Dahan were dumbfounded, now is the critical moment for them to take part in the government examination, it will be difficult for them to find another satisfactory place.
When Feng Dahan clashed with He Yue and the others because of a woman, they were still watching the show. Now because Feng Dahan has no place to live, all of them immediately turned their faces and the relationship with Feng Dahan became stagnant.
These few people are also very funny. After they got into a stalemate with Feng Dahan, they had the cheek to want to continue to live. It's a pity that they had been watching coldly before, not only holding Feng Dahan who was making troubles, but also commenting on He Yue's new girl. Today's He Yue is disgusting to them, so he doesn't want them to live in at all.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. These people used to have a good relationship with Feng Dahan, apart from Feng Dahan being their senior brother, the main reason is that they share similar tastes.
Feng Dahan is shameless, and they are even more shameless than Feng Dahan in their bones. They couldn't find a place to live, so they stayed outside the yard, unwilling to leave.
It is said that scholars care about face and pay attention to reputation, but these few people don't pay attention to these things at all. It seems that they are now reduced to no place to live, all because of the bullying of He Yue and others.
At this time, He Yue didn't want to fight with them, and in the end it was the woman next to He Yue who shouted to report to the police, and then drove these scoundrels away.
...
When the rankings were released the next day, Shen Chenyu, five senior brothers, three people from He Yue's side, and Feng Dahan and the others, unfortunately all got together.
I don't know what happened again, Feng Dahan's juniors reconciled with Feng Dahan again. The few of them walked together talking and laughing, those who didn't know would definitely think how good their relationship is.
Shen Chenyu is unwilling to break up with them, let alone ruin her future for these people. The best way to deal with those who can't get on the stage is to prove their strength through the imperial examination.
Chen Youli pulled a senior brother, and the two of them squeezed to the front together. There were a lot of candidates in the first government exam, so there were also a lot of people who came to see the rankings today.
To become a Tongsheng, one must pass the county and government examinations. If you passed the county test before, but failed because of the government test, and want to take the test again later, you must start from the beginning of the county test.
If you pass both the county examination and the government examination, but you do not pass the examination when you wait for the entrance examination, then the candidate is already a child student, and you only need to take the entrance examination next time.
Therefore, the government examination is very important. If you make a mistake in one step, you have to go back and start over. For candidates from poor families, this not only wastes a year but also wastes a lot of money.
Therefore, the candidates who are looking at the list now have a greater reaction than the candidates in the previous county test. Some people who found that they failed the exam, some lay down directly on the ground, and some lost their composure and ran back and forth on the road... There were also some candidates who announced that they were on the list, and their emotions seemed very excited, anyway. It can be said that in a short time, I have seen all kinds of life.
This time there were nearly 2,000 candidates, and two-thirds were eliminated in the first round. To be honest, seeing so many people fail the ranking at once, it is inevitable that there will be some emotional people around.
At this time, it was the turn of the yamen servants to handle affairs. They not only had to maintain order beside the red list, but also caught those who tried to hurt people.
Shen Chenyu is a life-saving character. When he sees someone very emotional, he subconsciously pulls a senior brother away.
Fortunately, Chen Youli and Chen Youli came back soon, and they didn't let Shen Chenyu and the others wait here for too long. As soon as Shen Chenyu saw Chen Youli's excited look, she guessed that everyone should have done well in the exam this time, otherwise Chen Youli's character would not be so happy.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Youli opened his mouth, he said, "Hahaha, good news, good news! Everyone passed the first game!"
Shen Chenyu and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words, and then they couldn't help asking about their rankings.
"This time it is still the younger brother who did the best in the exam. This time, the younger brother ranked sixth. That He Yue, who was at the head of the younger brother, suddenly fell to the top ten this time."
Another senior brother also said. Said: "Junior brother wrote such beautiful and good handwriting, and the difficulty of posting scriptures in the first round of the government examination is not too difficult. It is not surprising that junior brother can get in the top ten. As for that He Yue... the key of the government examination He still has time to be poetic with women, and by the time of the second or even third round, his ranking may suddenly drop to the bottom."
Shen Chenyu did not discuss He Yue when he heard the words, he would I slander others in my heart, but I don't like to talk about others behind their backs.
A group of people didn't stay in such a chaotic place after learning their rankings, but wandered around Fucheng together. After the group of five went back, they began to prepare for the second government test tomorrow.
...
What Shen Chenyu didn't know was that although Shen Mingxian didn't have time to deal with him, he made people pay attention to the matter of the government examination. Because he did well in the test this time, the people who watched the list passed the news to Shen Mingxian.
At first Shen Minglian didn't care about this, he felt that even if Shen Chenyu was lucky enough to become a child, he still had a way to hold the other's lifeline.
But things always have accidents, when Shen Chenyu and the others participated in the second government examination. Accidentally learned that Shen Chenyu was the protagonist who participated in the government examination, so he asked his confidant to secretly give Shen Chenyu a hundred taels of silver.
The other party hadn't heard from Shen Chenyu for a long time, so he thought that Shen Chenyu was still the original owner who couldn't even support himself, so he wanted to secretly help Shen Chenyu while Shen Mingxian didn't know.
Regardless of whether the protagonist's intentions are genuine or fake, anyway, Shen Ming, who knew about it, almost went mad. Shen Ming, as the protagonist Gong in the novel, has always had a perverted possessive desire for his husband, and there is no way that his husband's eyes will fall on other men.
Such a protagonist is very popular among readers in ancient Chinese novels. Everyone likes to have a tyrannical, cool and evil smile, loves the protagonist to be attacked by a mad dog who loves madly, and likes to watch the plot where the protagonist Gong kills everyone because of jealousy.
Shen Ming, who was made up like this, knew the consequences of this incident, that is, he pretended not to know what his husband had done, and planned to make Shen Chenyu disappear from the world silently.
Shen Chenyu, who had passively disappeared in Shen Mingxian's heart, was writing furiously for the second exam. The second round of the prefectural exam mainly covers posting scriptures, ink meanings, and arithmetic, which is actually similar to the county exam.
The only thing that is slightly different is that the large amount of questions in the government test is also slightly more difficult. But this is just a child's test after all, no matter how difficult the topic is, it won't be too difficult.
This time Shen Chenyu came out later, until the gong for handing in the papers rang outside, Shen Chenyu handed in the test papers in a leisurely manner, and then left the Gongyuan with most of the candidates.
After Shen Chenyu returned to the small courtyard, he did not immediately return to his room, but sat in the courtyard to discuss the exam questions with his seniors. Waiting until it was dark outside, Shen Chenyu realized that her room had been tampered with. Then he saw a package on the bed, and a very attractive silver ingot was exposed from a corner of the package.
Fortunately, Shen Chenyu has always been more cautious. When he found that there was silver in the package, he didn't open it in a hurry. Instead, he found a wooden stick and beat it, and then he saw a poisonous snake coming out of it.
Shen Chenyu was taken aback immediately. After seeing the pattern on the poisonous snake clearly, goose bumps appeared all over his body.
Fortunately, when he was in Qishan, he had tempered his courage. After he calmed down a little, he took out a knife, and chopped off the snake on the ground without saying a word.
This package is exactly what the protagonist received, and it is wrapped with a hundred taels of silver from him. As for the poisonous snake that came out of it, it was the person in charge of Shen Ming who put it in later.
It is estimated that Shen Chenyu was bitten by this poisonous snake when she wanted to take the money. Regardless of whether Shen Chenyu will be poisoned to death in the end, anyway, as long as he is bitten, he will not be able to participate in the government test.
The original owner didn't know anyone in Fucheng, so Shen Chenyu quickly thought of the protagonist's husband and wife, and also vaguely guessed the ins and outs of the matter.
Shen Chenyu had already imagined before, what method Shen Minglian might use to deal with him. It's just that Shen Chenyu really didn't expect that the other party would be so vicious and wanted to kill him directly.
Shen Chenyu looked at the money in the package, and didn't rush to find the magistrate for help, but thought of a very good idea.
He just used the money they gave to make things better for them. After all, he can't keep suffering and being beaten, and return them to the Shen family.
With the feeling of embarrassing Shen Ming, Shen Chenyu went out early the next morning. He changed into unremarkable clothes, and then dressed up specially, and then found a beggar's nest with money in his arms.
Because of the snowstorm and bandits the year before last, people in many places became disaster victims. Later, for unknown reasons, some people became beggars in Fucheng.
Most of these beggars are children. It is estimated that the adults in the family died during the disaster, leaving a group of children without the ability to survive, so they had to become little beggars.
Shen Chenyu looked at the beggar's nest in front of him, and selected a few clever ones from it. He first gave them ten taels of silver and asked them to go to Shen Minglian's shop to make trouble from time to time. After he was sure that they would not take the money and then not do things for him properly, he would come back and give them twenty taels of silver.
I heard that Shen Minglian's new teahouse will open in the next two days, and the items sold there are some milk tea and pastries from later generations. Shen Chenyu also has this idea of doing business, and Shen Mingxian only relies on his knowledge of later generations to be able to make a name for himself in this world.
Shen Chenyu found a few more hooligans, and planned to ask them to give each other a big gift when Shen Ming's new teahouse opened. Whether it's Shen Mingxian or the Shen family in Qingcheng County, what they like to do most is sneaking around to disgust people, this time it's Shen Chenyu's turn to disgust them.
Shen Chenyu in her previous life also worked in the shopping mall. The shopping mall is a place where soldiers never tire of fraud. He has seen all kinds of despicable methods. Since they all want him to die, how can he do it if he doesn't pay them back.
After Shen Chenyu arranged things, she went into the space and changed her disguise, and began to wander the streets aimlessly.
To be honest, he has always been very puzzled. Everyone knows that the status of merchants in ancient times was not even comparable to that of peasants. Why do many protagonists in time-traveling novels choose to be the lowest class of merchants without hesitation.
Once entered into the Shang nationality, the descendants will be the Shang nationality for generations. In this era, merchants are very lowly. Small businesses are looked down upon by those around them, and family money is easy to cause trouble when they do big businesses.
Even if a big businessman like Shen Mingxuan finds a reliable backer behind him, he is just the pocketbook of that backer. Once the other party dislikes Shen Ming's title, or if Shen Ming's title is useless, he will be dismissed and killed.
As for why Shen Ming's title is still good, the main reason is because he is the protagonist. If it weren't for the fact that the other party has the aura of the protagonist, based on the other party's ruthless behavior in doing things, it is estimated that he would have died of tricks a long time ago.
Not only that, but the business tax in ancient times was very heavy. It is estimated that the author of the original text felt sorry for the protagonists, so he slightly changed this setting. Otherwise, Shen Ming and his husband would be busy, and nearly half of the gold and silver would have to be taxed after a year of hard work.
Because of scholars, farmers, businessmen, most people in the world are after scholars. Take catching a son-in-law under the list as an example, some rich and noble families can marry their daughters who are loved by each other just because the other party does well in the exam.
Although most of the ancients favored sons over daughters, the daughters of wealthy families are still different from those of ordinary families. Even if they are also patriarchal, they are all their own flesh and blood after all, and there are still some who love them more or less.
They were able to marry their daughter to a stranger just because a scholar did well in the exam, and then set up an in-law who didn't know how good or bad it was, which proved the ancient people's pursuit of scholars.
...
Because there were more snakes in the room before, Shen Chenyu worried that she would be killed in the middle of the night, and she has been sleeping in her own space for the past two nights.
The next day, when the rankings were released in the second government test, Shen Chenyu went out early in the morning with his seniors to watch the rankings. When a group of people went to see the red list, a group of beggars discussed among themselves, and then they rushed towards the shops under Shen Ming's name.
When Shen Chenyu gave the money, she only said that they were going to make trouble for the shop, but she didn't specify how they were going to make trouble. The way to make trouble needs them to think for themselves, but everything is more important than their own safety. Shen Chenyu is just for disgusting people, and she doesn't want anything to happen to these children.
These little beggars are not stupid, they are as clever as little monkeys. Every time they came to the door of a shop, they either urinated outside the shop or threw a few stones into the shop. Anyway, it's all small troubles, even if they are caught, nothing will happen to them.
In addition, the magistrate of Fucheng is quite benevolent, and he has always been kind to these young beggars. Even if they were turned away and sent to the government office, the magistrate would not punish a group of ignorant children just for this matter.
What's more, now is the time for the government examination, and the magistrate has no time to care about such trivial matters.
When the dozen or so shops under Shen Mingxian's name were being pranked one after another, Shen Mingxian almost laughed angrily when he received the news.
"So he not only escaped the catastrophe, but also found a group of bastards to make trouble? He is still as naive as before, and even the means of revenge are so mentally retarded."
A thin middle-aged man carefully glanced at Shen Mingxian glance. "Then... lord, shall we continue to fight?"
Shen Ming chuckled when he heard the words, and his dark eyes were tinged with sternness. "Of course you have to do it. You go and arrange people now." The
middle-aged man responded, then took the order and walked out quickly. After the middle-aged man left completely, Shen Minglian suddenly dropped the teacup, his whole person now looked gloomy and terrifying.
...
This time, except for Shen Chenyu, the four senior brothers all went in to read the list. It's not that Shen Chenyu likes to be independent, it's mainly because the previous experience of watching the list was too tragic, Shen Chenyu no longer wants to be carried away by the crowd.
Just as Shen Chenyu was looking forward to it, silently waiting for Chen Youli and the others to come out. From a blind spot in his line of sight, a crazy old scholar suddenly appeared. Because there were people coming and going around, and there was a row of yamen guards next to him, so Shen Chenyu didn't find him immediately.
When the other party was about to run in front of him, Shen Chenyu realized that something was wrong. Fortunately, Shen Chenyu's physical reaction ability is very fast, and every time she finds danger, she will quickly resist with her brain.
So when the old scholar stabbed Shen Chenyu with a knife, Shen Chenyu raised his foot and put his foot on the opponent's body fiercely. The other party was obviously too old, and the old scholar immediately fell to the ground after being kicked, and then the knife in his hand was also thrown out by him.
Many people on the side saw this scene, and a group of frail scholars fled in all directions. During the escape process, you pushed and shoved, many scholars either bumped into someone, or were directly pushed to the ground, and the surrounding scene lost control for a moment.
Fortunately, there were not only yamen servants outside the Gongyuan, but also a group of hardcover soldiers guarding the periphery. The chaotic scene was quickly controlled by the soldiers, and then the old scholar was also arrested.
Chen Youli and the others came back with pale faces, and touched Shen Chenyu up and down all the time, and they were relieved only after making sure that Shen Chenyu was fine.
Chen Youli asked with lingering fear: "What's going on? Why did that person kill you?"
Another senior brother also said: "Could it be that you offended someone, otherwise this journey will be too thrilling. It's gone." When the
other party mentioned offending someone, he immediately thought of Shen Chenyu's complicated identity. Shen Chenyu didn't hide her identity from a few people, so everyone present knew the grievances between Shen Chenyu and Shen Mingxian.
Chen Youli figured it out all of a sudden, he slapped his palms together hard, and said with a look on his face that he could see through everything: "So... it is Shen Mingjian who is playing tricks, right? This Shen Mingjian is too vicious. It's too scary to kill you even if it doesn't matter over there."
The youngest brother among them looked at Shen Chenyu with a look of worry in his eyes. "There are such people in the world, even if you avoid him, he will not let you go. This kind of thing happens again and again, brother Yu can't continue to endure, otherwise I don't know what will happen in the future."
Shen Chenyu heard Yan nodded, so he didn't continue to back down, and planned to fight back after the last exam, but unfortunately the other party didn't even want him to take the last exam.
Because it involved such a major matter as murder, even though the magistrate is very busy now, he still took the time to find out the situation. When he saw Shen Chenyu, he found the master and the two of them bowed their heads and whispered a few words. After he confirmed that Shen Chenyu was the flower presenter, he asked him to go back with only one sentence.
The magistrate said: "Go back and take the exam with peace of mind."
The implication of this sentence is that the rest will be left to him, which can be regarded as fulfilling his previous promise. Shen Chenyu didn't want to come to him before, because he didn't want to fulfill this promise so quickly. He always felt that the person with the halo of the protagonist couldn't be taken away so easily. If this promise is accidentally wasted, it will be difficult to make the prefect owe you favors in the future.
But tomorrow is the last exam, even if Shen Chenyu is still a little uneasy in her heart, she still has to put this matter aside for the time being.
What I forgot to mention is that Shen Chenyu and the others still passed the second round of the house test. However, since two of the senior brothers are at the tail of the crane, the emotions of the two of them are inevitably a little anxious.
The third round of the government examination is about Shiwuce, which is also a question of policy. In addition to policy questions, there are some other questions, but the amount of questions is very small, and it took Shen Chenyu an hour to finish the questions.
The third test will take two days, that is to say, they will have to stay in the No. 1 room for one night. Room No. 1 is actually a simple model room, and it can be said that there are air leaks on all sides. If it weren't for the warm weather now, such an environment would simply kill people.
Before Shen Chenyu, in order not to go to the stinking account, she always drank less water and ate less, but she was unwilling to face that kind of place. But now it takes two days to take the exam, no matter how reluctant Shen Chenyu is in her heart, she finally went in twice with a face of embarrassment.
In addition, when resting at night, there is no condition to take a shower and change into clean clothes, Shen Chenyu feels very uncomfortable all night.
This time, the current affairs policy of the government examination was the one that happened in the Liangzhou government in a century. Although the overall situation in Liangzhou Prefecture was stabilized under the active allocation of food and disaster relief by the imperial court, there were still many problems left over.
Although the current affairs strategy needs to be based on some major events, let the test takers contribute strategies according to the actual situation. But in fact, the candidates who participated in the imperial examination had no way to let go of their hands and dictate to the current court. In addition to giving some of their own ideas, most of the writing is a tribute to Shangfeng.
Under this kind of feudal system, people in this era will be divided into three or six grades, and few supreme rulers will really be willing to hear the common people criticize themselves.
Therefore, most candidates who take part in the imperial examination must be very cautious when answering such policy questions. In order to avoid losing their lives because of a question, most of the candidates would choose to praise the imperial court fiercely, and they were unwilling to take risks to contribute any good ideas to the imperial court.
Shen Chenyu was very cautious when answering the questions. She didn't write out all her ambitions because she knew that there were many shortcomings in this era. His ideas are great and interesting to him, but they are outrageous in this day and age.
The reason why he wanted to take part in the imperial examination was just to live a good life for his family, not with the idea of changing the times. So he won't risk his life with his hard-earned life just to change this era.
Unless he has enough rights in the future, even if everyone opposes his ideas, he will still be able to compete with these aristocrats. Maybe at that time, Shen Chenyu will think about changing this feudal dynasty, thinking about finding a better way of life for the common people here.
While Shen Chenyu was busy writing policy questions, Shen Mingxian's new teahouse was very lively. Before Shen Minglian felt that Shen Chenyu's revenge was naive, but he didn't know that those so-called naive actions before were just tricks to attract Shen Minglian's attention. Shen Chenyu's main goal is to find the new teahouse where Shen Ming spent the most time and money.
This teahouse appeared in the episode, and it was Shen Mingxian who joined in many marketing methods for later generations. He has been warming up the publicity since a long time ago, just waiting for this time when there are more foreigners in the government test, and he plans to use the teahouse to make a good fortune.
Outside Shen Mingxian's teahouse, they started to knock and beat, and a few idle hooligans took a look inside the teahouse, then slowly surrounded the teahouse without any trace.
At this time, there are huge crowds of people in front of the teahouse, and everyone has been curious about this teahouse since a long time ago. In addition, Shen Mingxian specially asked someone to advertise, and the guests who came to the teahouse today can be said to be overcrowded.
After the gathering, the gangsters glanced at each other, and when Shen Minglian led a few big businessmen to cut the ribbon, a gangster threw something towards the roof.
The thing hit the roof, and suddenly there was a dazzling electric light, followed by an explosion. It looked as if a bolt of lightning had suddenly struck the roof of the teahouse in the middle of the night.
This scene was really shocking, before the crowd ran around noisyly, two more electric currents exploded on the roof. The tiles on the roof of the teahouse were blown away, and the surrounding people screamed in fright for a moment.
The ancient people always believed in the gods, and the Thunder God and the Lightning Mother are symbols of driving away evil spirits. At this time, there was no cloud in the sky, why the teahouse was suddenly struck by lightning.
When many people ran away in private, they felt that there was definitely something wrong with Shen Ming's restaurant. Otherwise, why there is no thunder in other places, but only their family has this kind of problem, Shen Ming and Boss Shen must have done something wrong.
Shen Mingxian is not an ancient person, even if he himself came here through time travel, he himself does not believe in the power of ghosts and gods. When he thought about the troubles Shen Chenyu had caused before, his first reaction was that Shen Chenyu must be making trouble in this matter.
His gaze swung rapidly around, trying to catch the few people who were making trouble in the crowd. But because there are too many people around, and after the electric current and explosion sounded loudly, the current scene has completely gone out of control.
Shen Mingxian didn't find anything at all, so he could only gnash his teeth and command his servants to look around for suspicious persons. However, what Shen Mingxian didn't know was that after those hooligans finished throwing their things, they were already scared and ran away.
What Shen Chenyu asked them to throw was also a mutated fruit. However, this mutated fruit is different from the one that killed the wild boar before. Because this kind of mutated fruit has the lightning ability, they will look like thunder when they explode. But because this is the fruit of a first-level mutated plant, when it explodes, only the special effects will look very scary, but in fact, even if it hits people, it won't hurt much.
Shen Chenyu asked them to smash this at this time because she wanted to use the power of public opinion to ruin Shen Ming's reputation. Since Shen Minglian relied on the marketing methods of later generations to make money, Shen Chenyu also used the methods of later generations to deal with him, which was considered fair competition for the two traversers.
Because of the low status of businessmen in this era, if Shen Mingxian hadn't been the author's own son, he wouldn't be able to do business so well now.
In fact, businessmen, like scholars, pay more attention to a good reputation. In addition, businessmen are not as high-status as scholars, and once their reputation is ruined, it is even more difficult to restore their image.
What's more, this is a feudal and superstitious society. Today's incident not only ruined Shen Mingxian's teahouse and reputation, but Shen Mingxian's business will also suffer a big blow in the future.
If Shen Ming hadn't wanted his life again and again, Shen Chenyu would not have wanted to mess things up like this. It's a pity that no matter how he backed down, people not only didn't let him go, but even worsened.
Since they are destined to be unable to live in peace, even if Shen Chenyu can't kill each other immediately, she will tear off a piece of flesh from him.
...
Before Shen Mingxian could think about what to do with Shen Chenyu in the future, the magistrate's people sealed up several shops of Shen Minglian in one go. Now it seemed to confirm the speculation of the common people, that the big businessman Shen Minglian really did something wrong, not only the thunder father and mother in the sky couldn't stand it anymore, even their magistrate sealed up several shops of the other party.
After two big blows in one day, Shen Mingxian's face was terribly pale. Since he crossed over, he has been going smoothly for so many years, and this is the first time he has fallen into such a big somersault.
One of Shen Ming's men in charge, while others were not paying attention, secretly stuffed money into an official.
"My lord, our lord is doing business in peace and order. I don't know what happened. Why did he close the shop?" With a sneer, he said: "He knows best what your master has done. It's better not to be so heartless when we do things for others, otherwise it may not be someone else's way.
" Pointingly glanced at Shen Ming. "If you do too much unrighteousness, you will die. If your master doesn't pay a lot of taxes every year, this time it won't be a matter of closing down a few shops.
" He gave them a lot of filial piety this time, otherwise...he wouldn't want to spend more time talking to these businessmen.
Originally, it was because of Shen Chenyu's serious injury, and now the shop was closed by the government and given a verbal warning, Shen Ming's eyes were full of viciousness and anger.
In the last life, when did he ever suffer this kind of grievance? Wasn't it because of the shitty peasants, farmers, and businessmen in ancient times? No matter how many benefits he gave to the government in the past, as long as the government is not happy, it will be sealed up.
...
When Shen Chenyu came out of the tribute courtyard, she learned about it from the passing people. He knew that with the halo of the protagonist Shen Ming, even the prefect would not kill him, so in the end Shen Ming had to remove it himself.
Although the magistrate has no way to kill the other party, after today's incident, Shen Ming will have to be honest for a while, which just gave Shen Chenyu a chance to develop wretchedly.
Just as Shen Minglian thought before, even if Shen Chenyu passed the house test this time, Shen Chenyu was just a little boy. Shen Mingxian was able to deal with a scholar before, and it would not be difficult for him to deal with Shen Chenyu.
Now that Shen Ming's title is seriously hurting, both he and the Shen family in Qingcheng County will shrink back for a while, and Shen Chenyu will take advantage of this time to grow up rapidly.
Sure enough, with the warning from the magistrate, Shen Mingxian was very quiet in the next few days, and Shen Chenyu didn't encounter any accidents again.
The last round of the government examination will not be released until three days later.
During these three days, Shen Chenyu played around with his seniors. Not only did they climb a mountain outside Fucheng, but they also bought a lot of things in Fucheng.
This time, regardless of whether they passed the government test or not, the group of them had to go back to Qingcheng County first. Because the subsequent college examinations will have to wait until August, they will not squander the family's money like Feng Dahan, and regard the imperial examination as a matter of going out to visit the mountains and rivers.
Feng Dahan is a child student, he can only take the college examination in August, but he ran out in February, and I don't know what he thinks.
This road belongs to Qingcheng County and Liangzhou Prefecture, so I don't know how much money they spent. It seems that the village chief is quite rich, otherwise there is no way for Feng Dahan to spend so much.
The day when the rankings were released was cloudy, Shen Chenyu got up early in the morning and looked at the sky, always feeling that it was so gloomy that it wanted to rain. So when Shen Chenyu and the others went to see the list, they specially brought a few oiled paper umbrellas out.
This time was the last government test, Master Liu went with them when he had nothing to do. Among them, the two at the end of the crane in the second round were very nervous along the way, for fear that they would accidentally fail this time.
Probably due to the influence of their emotions, Shen Chenyu's mood was rarely tense. Shen Chenyu's current age to participate in the Tongsheng Examination is actually considered a relatively late one. If he doesn't pass the exam this time, it is estimated that if he continues to delay year after year, he will achieve nothing at a long age.
When the first drop of rain fell from the sky, Chen Youli and others who had been watching the list came back. Seeing the other party's expression was a little strange, Shen Chenyu couldn't help being pulled up in her heart.
The other senior brother who didn't squeeze in pushed Chen Youli impatiently and asked, "How is it? How are you? Are you talking?"
Chen Youli had a little difficulty opening his mouth after being pushed like this. Said: "This time, the younger brother got twelve in the exam, and I got twenty, and you got the last one by luck."
Hearing this, the other party was stunned for a moment, and then cried out with joy: "That's great, that's great , which means that I also got in?"
No matter how many people got in the exam, as far as they were concerned, it was enough for them to get in. The other party obviously didn't expect that he himself was also hit. First, he yelled happily on the spot, and then found that the faces of the other two were very ugly. He secretly glanced at the two of them with a guilty expression, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort them.
But fortunately, these two people are not small-minded, and soon cheered up again under the encouragement of Mrs. Liu.
They passed three exams at once, and people around couldn't help being envious and jealous when they heard it, and the eyes staring at them were not very friendly.
Thinking of the tragic scenes of the previous two scenes, Master Liu led them back to the small courtyard, planning to take a short rest and leave the next day.
After everyone returned to the small courtyard, they found that there was a lot of noise in the courtyard next door. At first they didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, but when they heard the woman next door yelling that she had killed someone, they had no choice but to run over to check the situation.
Then Shen Chenyu saw that He Yue was strangling the woman's neck with an angry expression on his face, as if he wanted to strangle her to death on the spot.
During this period of time, Shen Chenyu and the others were very busy, either busy with the government examination or guarding against Shen Mingxian. After the third house exam, most of them were playing outside, so they didn't pay much attention to the courtyard next door.
It wasn't until a few people pulled He Yue away from the woman that they knew what had happened in the past few days. It turned out that it was because He Yue failed the exam in the third round. After the woman following He Yue found out that something was wrong, she wanted to take advantage of He Yue's troubles and run away.
For a period of time, He Yue has been lingering with this woman. When others were studying at night, he worked hard on women. It was strange that he could pass the exam in such a situation.
What makes He Yue unacceptable is that, seeing this woman is so skilled that she can't be more skilled, it is obviously not the first time that the other party has done such a thing. In other words, this woman probably cheated other scholars more than once before meeting He Yue and the others.
Shen Chenyu was speechless for a while, didn't He Yue always pretend to be confused before, but now he suddenly became smarter, he didn't know what to say to the other party.
Shen Chenyu didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, after confirming that He Yue would not kill someone in a fit of anger, Shen Chenyu pulled the seniors away from here.
Early the next morning, Shen Chenyu and his party left early. This time they failed to find the caravan they were going back to. After all, there were not many large caravans like before, so they could only go back by a few peddlers' ox carts.
Fortunately, the peddler's ox cart also has a shed. Although this shed only has four pillars and a roof, it is better than nothing.
The people in the yard next door had been arguing for a long time. Last night, Chen Youli and the others didn't have a good rest, so they started to feel drowsy as soon as they got on the ox cart.
Shen Chenyu was also a little sleepy at first, so he closed his eyes with everyone, but when he really closed his eyes, Shen Chenyu couldn't fall asleep anyway.
Yesterday was the last round of the government examination, so there were more people leaving Fucheng today. Their carriage was blocked at the gate of the city for a long time, and they waited for half an hour before being released.
The speed of the bullock carts along the way was very slow, and the peddlers on the road had to sell things from time to time. It was already late April when we arrived in Qingcheng County.
Before Shen Chenyu and the others returned to the town, the yamen servant in Qingcheng County who was in charge of announcing the good news rushed to Xiling Village. The yamen servant first went to the town to report the good news to Chen Youli, the Chen family who lived in the town, and then he rushed towards Xiling Village without stopping.
When they first saw the government officials, the villagers of Xiling Village were taken aback. After seeing the red on each other's body clearly, they always felt that this scene seemed familiar. After the other party asked about Shen Chenyu's home, many villagers immediately responded.
No wonder they felt that this scene seemed familiar. Isn't this the same thing that happened a few years ago when the village chief's son passed the Tongsheng exam, and people from the government came to announce the good news?
The people who were still afraid of the yamen servant immediately put down their work and enthusiastically helped lead the way. Before they brought the servants to Shen Chenyu's house, there was a fast-running child running to report to Shen's house.
The child ran all the way and shouted: "Big happy event! Big happy event! Brother Yu has passed the exam, and Brother Yu has passed the exam!"
Following the child's yelling, more people knew the news, and soon the news spread throughout Xiling Village.
The aunt of the Shen family was sitting in the courtyard of the aunt's house next door chatting with Shen Jiayue. When the two were chatting vigorously, the son of Shen Lianghan's family rushed in.
As soon as Wazi saw Aunt Shen, he panted and said, "Auntie, Brother Yu passed the Tongsheng exam."
In fact, such a big boy doesn't know what Tongsheng means. He only knew that the son of the village chief's family was Tongsheng, and every time the other party saw him, he was awe-inspiring. Just now he heard from people in the village that if Brother Yu continues to take the exam, he can become a high official like the county lord in the future.
When Aunt Shen's family heard this, she was taken aback for a moment, and then jumped up from the low stool. Shen Jiakey's eyelids twitched so much that the other party hurriedly stood up and was going to support his own mother, but was pushed by his mother's hand and was about to run towards the gate of the courtyard.
"Hurry up, go to the town and tell your father and brother about this."
Shen Jiayao ran out in a daze when he heard the words, and was caught by Aunt Shen before he could take two steps. "No, no, I'll be in the past for this kind of thing, you... you should go back and say good news to your grandma first."
The news has already been sent back, and it is estimated that Shen Chenyu and the others should come back. Before the second grandfather said that the other party was promising, she still felt that the little old man was fooling her, but now it seems that her eyelids are too shallow.
Shen Jiayao was dizzy by his mother-in-law's instructions, and finally he turned around and went back to his home, only to find that the courtyard was already full of people.
On the other side, there were more people in Shen Chenyu's house. If Mu Linting hadn't blocked the door with his child in his arms, these enthusiastic villagers would have rushed into the house.
It's not that Mu Linting dislikes these villagers, but his room and Shen Chenyu's study are not suitable for so many people to enter together.
Not to mention whether Shen Chenyu's books will be damaged, but there are so many children's clothes in his room, and it is not convenient for messy people to go in and see them.
In the past, Mu Linting didn't mind these things, it was because the conditions were just like that, even if he minded, he couldn't leave the barracks. In addition, he didn't want to marry at that time, so he was indifferent to how others viewed him.
But it's different now, he is Shen Chenyu's husband and Xiaoroubao's father now. Thinking of what happened to the crazy boy before, Mu Linting didn't want Xiao Roubao to be rejected by others.
"Oh, big sister, you've come to the end of all hardships. Brother Yu is so promising that he passed the Tongsheng exam right away, and he is destined to be an official in the future."
"Yes, yes, When Brother Yu came back, I thought this kid was promising. Not only did he bring the entire Shen family up now, but he might become even more powerful in the future."
A group of people surrounded Chen Yu. cigarette. poison. add. Mrs. Liu kept boasting that Mrs. Shen Liu was a soft-eared and thin-skinned person, and she couldn't help but blush every time she heard a few words.
Seeing that she was surrounded by a group of people like this, Mu Linting completely forgot that there was a government servant waiting to announce the good news, so he paid two silver coins to the other party.
It is customary to give money to people who are happy for the good news. After all, people have worked so hard to make a trip, so they have to give some money for their hard work. In addition, Shen Chenyu will definitely be in the officialdom in the future, and it is also essential to have a good relationship with the government.
The other party did not expect Mu Linting to be so generous, two taels of silver is not a small amount. He said a few more obedient words with a happy face, and then he turned and left the Shen family satisfied.
Afterwards, Xiaoroubao was a little sleepy, so Mu Linting carried Xiaoroubao back to the house. When Mu Linting went back to coax the children, a group of people outside saw that Mu Linting had left, so they couldn't help lowering their business and started talking about him.
A woman who has a good relationship with Shen Liushi couldn't help but secretly tugged at Shen Liushi's sleeve, pointed to Mu Linting's room and asked in a low voice: "I thought he was not good enough for Brother Yu before, but now Brother Yu I will be the official soon, don't your family plan to find another one? Caixiang, don't blame me for speaking badly, I heard that these official wives have some kind of circle, and they will all be officials' outside face in the future. If your brother Yu brings such a husband, he will definitely be poked in the back by others in the future."
An old woman next to her also nodded when she heard this, she had been a servant of a rich family for a while before, and the rules for the big family are still the same. know some. "Yeah, I heard that these officials are the most concerned about face. Even if your family's benevolence is not willing to divorce him, then...then you have to find another wife for Brother Yu?"
Shen Liu shook her head subconsciously, "No, no, no, although he looks a little... But he is really nice, so our family..."
Before Shen Liu could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the people beside her. "What can't be done, Caixiang, you are too soft-tempered, that's why you were tortured by the people in the big house back then. Such a husband is not like a husband, I think it's not as good as my niece, at least It hurts people to look good."
The person who said this was Xu Han's wife who lived not far from the old man Xu. Xu Han's age is about the same as Shen Liu's, and he came to Xiling Village with a large family in his early years.
This person has a straightforward temper. She was obviously in a hurry when she said this, and her voice couldn't help but get louder if she didn't pay attention.
Mrs. Shen Liu was startled by her voice, and looked at the door of Mu Linting's room in fear after a busy look. Before she could say anything to Mrs. Xu Han in dissatisfaction, an old lady's dissatisfied voice came from the gate of the courtyard. .
"From the Xu family, who doesn't know your niece's virtues, she is a lazy person who can play tricks. Even if our brother Yu really wants to marry another one, he will definitely not want a niece like yours."
Xu Han originally She was also a little guilty, but when she heard someone say that about her niece, Xu Han immediately exploded.
"Aunt Shen, what you said is wrong. My niece was raised as everyone's daughter-in-law. That's called keeping her fingers in water. The daughters raised in that way are delicate and beautiful. How can they be like your two granddaughter-in-laws?" , one is a hen that doesn't lay eggs, and the other is blind, ugly and crippled, tsk tsk... I don't know what evil I did in my previous life?"
Yun Xuanxuan, who followed the Shen family's grandma, heard the words, with a delicate little face All of a sudden, she turned pale, and she turned around in a panic and ran back, almost bumping into Shen Jiayao who was a step late.
Shen Jiayao wanted to get angry at first, but after realizing that Yun Xuanxuan's expression was very wrong, she hurriedly reached out and grabbed Yun Xuanxuan who was about to run away.
"What's wrong with you, you look like you've bumped into a ghost?"
Yun Xuanxuan raised her eyes and glanced at the other party, tears fell instantly. As soon as Shen Jiayao saw her like this, he seemed to think of something, immediately let go of his hand and rushed towards the second room of Shen's family.
Why would Yun Xuanxuan look like this? Over the years, she has often been pointed at by the eighth wife in the village. Obviously this kind of thing has nothing to do with them, this group of people just like to poke people's wounds when they have nothing to do.
Shen Jiayao entered the courtyard aggressively, and saw his grandma grabbing Xu Hanshi's hair and tearing at her, with a look on her face that she wanted to tear him apart.
To be honest, this old lady would not be so angry because of her two granddaughters-in-law. The main reason was that after Yun Xuanxuan ran away, the two of them choked up a few more words, and the words rushed to the second son of the Shen family.
The second son of the Shen family was the old lady's heart knot, and the situation suddenly got out of control. Shen Liushi, who was still trying to persuade the fight, started to cry, and the old lady and Xu Hanshi started fighting.
Everyone originally came here for the congratulations, but now seeing such a situation, everyone panicked and persuaded others to go up and fight.
Although Shen Jiayao didn't like the eccentric grandma, but grandma was also a member of their family after all, so the younger brother also got involved.
"See if I don't tear your stinky mouth apart, make you laugh at my sister-in-law, and beat my grandma?!"
Shen Jiayao was used to the sky by the big house, and it didn't matter whether Xu Hanshi was his elder or not, anyway, he would get it back if he was wronged.
Because of Shen Jiayao's sudden joining, the already chaotic scene became even more chaotic. In the end, Mu Linting from the room came out, and only then did he control the out-of-control scene.
At first Mu Linting really didn't want to come out. Although they talked about him in a low voice, but because he has practiced martial arts all the year round, his hearing is very good, so he heard everything they said before.
It's impossible to say that he doesn't mind at all. He is not made of real stone, and he will still feel pain when maliciously hurt by others.
After driving everyone away, Mu Linting silently helped Shen Liu clean up the yard, and then locked himself in the room.
In the evening, when Mrs. Shen Liu knocked on the door and told him to eat, Mu Linting did not go out for a rare willful time, still stuck in the dark room and refused to go out.
Because his eyes couldn't see, he fell asleep drowsily and woke up drowsily. He didn't know how long he had been like this.
He knew that he shouldn't be like this, and he couldn't cry like the wronged Yun Xuanxuan, so he still had to cheer up and continue living.
Mu Linting moved his stiff body slowly, and then simply tidied up his current self before pushing the door open and carrying a wooden bucket to go out to fetch water.
Shen Liushi has been very worried about his condition, and when he heard the sound of his door, he walked out of the room in a panic.
Seeing that the other party was going to work without eating
, she hurriedly wiped her hands and said to Mu Linting: "Lin Ting, drink some porridge before you go out." The warm porridge came out. Mu Linting knew it was the other party's kindness, so he had to bring it over and gulp it down.
He hadn't eaten two meals in a row, and now he drank too fast and felt a throbbing pain in his stomach. But Mu Linting didn't care much about this, so he turned around and left the house with the barrel in his hand.
The road from their house to the river was not far away, knowing that Mu Linting would often come to fetch water, so Shen Liu cleaned up the road on purpose.
This road is usually clean, but today I don't know what happened. Many sharp stones were thrown on the road.
Mu Linting almost fell down several times, but fortunately Mu Linting could not see but was very skilled, so he was able to stabilize him without any risk.
Mu Linting understood that someone was trying to cheat him, it should be because Shen Chenyu was admitted to Tongsheng, and those who didn't like him before were even more jealous of him.
Probably everyone thinks that a person like him is not worthy of Shen Chenyu, right? Otherwise, their emotions would not be so excited, let alone do such harmful things.
Although he also felt that the current self was indeed not worthy of Shen Chenyu, who was getting better and better. But it doesn't mean that people who play such small tricks, such villains who can only hide behind their backs and calculate, are worthy of it.
Thinking like this, Mu Linting's eyes were cold, and he continued to walk towards the river step by step. He wanted to see who was trying to harm him, who was secretly thinking about Shen Chenyu.
...
When Shen Chenyu came back, she deliberately chose the time to eat in Xiling Village. This way he doesn't have to be stared at by a group of villagers like a monkey. But even so, many people knew about him when he came back.
Shen Chenyu carried the bookcase on her back, and most of the salutes were on the ox cart. This bullock cart was hired by him when he was in Qingcheng County, and the bullock cart was loaded with the things he bought.
When the children saw Shen Chenyu coming back, they ran to deliver the news like a gust of wind. As a result, before these children ran to Shen's house, Shen Chenyu saw Mu Linting by the river from a long distance away.
Shen Chenyu deliberately chose the path when entering the village, because this path was the closest and most convenient to their home. At this time, he saw Mu Linting from a distance, and just wanted to shout towards Mu Linting. He saw a figure rushing towards Mu Linting, and Mu Linting's figure standing by the river swayed helplessly.
Shen Chenyu was startled when she saw this, she threw down the bookcase and ran towards the river like the wind. No matter it was the last life or this time, it was the first time for Shen Chenyu to run at such a fast speed.
Obviously he knew that Mu Linting was very skilled, even if he was hit by that figure, nothing would happen to him, but he was still in a cold sweat from being frightened by this scene.
Shen Chenyu ran to Mu Linting in a bit of embarrassment. After confirming that everything was just a false alarm, he immediately looked at the child who hit him with an angry face.
"Don't you know he can't see? Still rushing over like this regardless?" The
child rolled his eyes and opened his mouth when he heard this, and was about to burst into tears. Seeing this, Shen Chenyu raised her head and scanned around quickly, trying to find the messenger behind the child. He could see the scene very clearly just now, the child bumped into Mu Linting just after seeing him.
Shen Chenyu knew that it was impossible for a child to do this on purpose, which meant that other adults instructed him to do so. Shen Chenyu didn't find anyone suspicious nearby, so she knelt down in front of the child and handed him a candy.
At this time, Shen Chenyu wanted to beat him hard, but thinking that she still didn't know who the person was instructing, she patiently smiled and said: "Come on, tell me, who told you to hit him?" Yes? As long as you answer well, I will give you a lot of candy."
Even children in later generations will inevitably be tempted by candy, let alone children in such a small mountain village in this era. After the other party saw the candy in Shen Chenyu's hand, greed flashed across his eyes that were pretending to cry. Shen Chenyu noticed that the child wanted to reach out to grab the candy, and immediately raised the candy in his hand with a cold face.
The child cried when he couldn't get the candy, and Shen Chenyu gradually lost patience when he saw this. Fortunately, when he took out the second candy, the child finally couldn't help swallowing and said, "I said... I said, the brother of Old Man Xu's family, he gave me an egg and asked me to come over The one who pushed him into the water."
The person who fought with the grandma of the Shen family yesterday was the old man Xu's wife, Xu Hanshi. Ever since Shen Chenyu was brought back by the Shen Liu family, and since the eldest son of the Shen family made some money in business, Xu Han's family has been eyeing the Shen family.
First of all, the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Jiayu, has been married to the eldest son of the Shen family for several years and has not yet conceived. Gradually, the eldest son of the Shen family had a little money, and many people were looking forward to the fact that the Shen family would divorce their daughter-in-law, and then their children would be able to marry and enjoy the blessings.
Then came Shen Chenyu, Shen Chenyu was not only good-looking but also a scholar. His husband is ugly and crippled, now that he has passed the Tongsheng exam, many people can't help but become active.
The brother of Xu Han's family is named Xu Xu Qingliu. He asked the children to push Mu Linting, not only because of the fight between Xu Hanshi and the Shen family, but also because of what happened half a month ago.
Unlike Xu Han's who was trying to get the Shen family's idea, Xu Qingliu actually already had her own sweetheart. He didn't want to marry someone from the Shen family as an ordinary wife, and he just waited for his lover to come back and marry him after he was selected as a scholar.
Xu Qingliu's lover is none other than Feng Dahan, the only boy in Xiling Village. Don't look at Feng Dahan's not very good-looking appearance, but his ability to deceive little girls and brothers is not weak.
Before the other party left the village this time, they had a mess with Xu Qingliu. Xu Qingliu was worried that he had someone outside, so she thought of tying him up with her body. He even thought that it would be even better if he could conceive a child, so the two had a good time before Feng Dahan left.
After Feng Dahan left for more than a month, Xu Qingliu found out that she was really pregnant. Xu Qingliu should have been happy when she got her wish, but it took only half a year for Feng Dahan to leave. Seeing that his pregnant belly could not be covered, Xu Qingliu had no choice but to secretly find the village chief.
That is, half a month ago, when Xu Qingliu went to the village head to discuss the child again, she accidentally ran into Mu Linting passing by fetching water. Because of a guilty conscience and fear of things being revealed, Xu Qingliu felt that Mu Linting must have heard something.
Although Xu Qingliu was so courageous before, he is still young after all. Thinking that if things were revealed, not only would Feng Dahan's official career be affected, but maybe he and the child in his stomach would also be sunk. After half a month of mental torture, he finally made up his mind to kill someone.
He is a person who doesn't care about anything in order to live a good life. He doesn't care about other people's lives at all. What he cares most about now is himself.
Just yesterday because Shen Chenyu passed the Tongsheng exam, many people showed envy and jealousy towards Mu Linting. Xu Qingliu heard several little brothers gathered together and said that they wanted to make Mu Linting suffer, so there was a scene of children pushing Mu Linting behind.
...
The child told Shen Chenyu about the matter, and wanted to reach for the candy in Shen Chenyu's hand. As a result, Shen Chenyu stuffed the candy to Mu Linting, and then he mentioned that the child in front of him was spanked.
The child was beaten up by him and yelled, just happened to hear the conversation between the big and the small, not only didn't take action to stop it, but also booed on the side.
"Beat, beat hard, this child is so young and has such a vicious heart, he even hurt people just for a bite, and he doesn't know what to do when he grows up?"
"Yes, beat hard, this is the Sun family My little grandson is spoiled by Mrs. Sun. Sure enough, the child cannot be taken care of by the old man, let's see how he has been taught?" Amidst
the booing, the child's father soon came to him up. At first seeing Shen Chenyu beating his child, the dark-faced man was a little unhappy. But after he knew the cause and effect of the matter, before Shen Chenyu continued to fight, he started to fight.
This man is a peddler who sells goods in several villages all year round, so he has no time to discipline the children. The two children are taken care of by the old man and his wife. And his wife is soft-tempered, so the education of the children is decided by the old man. Elderly people are generally more tolerant to children, but this situation can easily lead to bad children.
Fortunately, the child's father was able to figure it out. The other party kept beating the child's butt until it was swollen, and then pressed the child to apologize to Mu Linting.
Although Shen Chenyu was still angry, if she continued to haggle over every detail, it would be unreasonable. So after the other party apologized again and again, Shen Chenyu reluctantly didn't care about this matter with the other party. But it's one thing for him not to care about children, and there's no end to the person behind this.
Shen Chenyu glanced at Mu Linting beside him, planning to send Mu Linting home first and then go to Old Man Xu's house. It turned out that Mu Linting was "looking" at him in a daze, and his expression looked as if his soul had come out of his body.
Shen Chenyu thought that Mu Linting was frightened, so she reached out and gently held his hand. Because Mu Linting had been injured many times before, and he almost had a blood collapse after giving birth, most of Mu Linting's fingers were cold.
When the hand touched Shen Chenyu's delicate and warm palm, Mu Linting's cold fingertips quickly warmed up, and at the same time, the tip of his heart was tinged with numbness.
Mu Linting subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but Shen Chenyu grabbed his fingertips forcefully. "Let's go, I'll take you home first, and I will seek justice for you later."
Shen Chenyu sent Mu Linting back home, and also sent her own things back home. And before he went to Old Man Xu's house, there was already a commotion at Old Man Xu's house.
It turned out that it was Xu Han's sister-in-law who knew about this, and ran back early to report to Xu Qingliu, wanting Xu Qingliu to escape quickly at this moment. But Xu Qingliu had a cub in her stomach. Although she was not particularly pregnant at four months, he didn't dare to run around in this situation.
Just when Xu Qingliu panicked and secretly dragged Xu Hanshi to a showdown with her, she didn't expect that there was a child in their room. As soon as the child heard that Xu Qingliu had a child, he yelled and ran out of the house.
It was completely chaotic all of a sudden, the Xu family hurriedly wanted to close the door and arrest the child, but the child slipped away despite being small. Seeing the child running away, Xu Qingliu knew it was over, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
At this moment, the Xu family was completely in disarray. While they were shocked by Xu Qingliu's boldness, they wailed about the misfortune of the family. They are not the only family in Old Man Xu's family, there is another family next door to Old Man Xu's younger brother's family, and there are two unmarried girls in the other's family.
The woman who came to help report the letter before, after learning that Xu Qingliu had done such a scandal, immediately regretted that she came to report the letter. Xu Qingliu's reputation can be said to be completely ruined, and the two girls in her family will also be implicated by Xu Qingliu in the future.
Shen Chenyu saw that the Xu family was already in chaos before she did anything, and felt that they would kill themselves if they did too many unrighteous actions.
Now things have become big, not only about Shen Chenyu and the Xu family, but also alarmed the village chief and the elders in the village. These old people are very old and have not come out for a long time. Now that there is such a big scandal in Xiling Village, they will come out to uphold justice even if they don't want to come out.
In addition, this matter also involves Shen Chenyu, and Shen Chenyu is now a Tongsheng, Shen Chenyu also has the right to participate.
Soon Xu Qingliu woke up. Under the pressure of a group of people, he was still unwilling to confess to Feng Dahan at first. Later, she said that she was going to take him to Shentang, and Xu Qingliu said the matter tremblingly in order to protect herself.
As for why he wanted to kill Mu Linting, it was because Mu Linting overheard about him, and he did so under endless panic.
When the village head learned about this, he wanted to smother Xu Qingliu to death for a moment. Because only Xu Qingliu's death would not damage his son's reputation. It's a pity that Shen Chenyu noticed what was wrong with him, and didn't give him a chance to get close to Xu Qingliu during the whole process, and then stared at him thoughtfully.
At this moment, the village head hated Shen Chenyu to death. If it wasn't for his husband, Xu Qingliu wouldn't worry about doing such a thing, and then the child's affairs would not be exposed.
The current village chief just regrets that he didn't destroy Shen Chenyu back then. Otherwise, for things like today, some old people can turn big things into small things and let them forget it because of his face.
But now with Shen Chenyu guarding him, no matter what means he wants to use, he can't do it, he can only act according to the old rules with a livid face.
A senior member of the Chen family said: "This kind of thing cannot be tolerated, otherwise it will affect the reputation of our village. According to the old rules of our village, either the Xu family should be allowed to move out of the village, or neither the brother nor the child can stay. "
"Yes, just follow the old rules. This brother is too disgraceful. He not only has children out of wedlock, but also wants to harm others. We can't keep such people in our village."
When Shen Chenyu heard the words, she felt both funny and sad in her heart. Obviously this incident was the fault of two people, but he didn't mention Feng Dahan at all. It seemed that he wanted to defend Feng Dahan.
In fact, they wanted to protect Feng Dahan, Shen Chenyu was not surprised at all. First of all, this is the era of patriarchy, and secondly, Feng Dahan is the only boy in the village, and the other party also has a father who is the village's father. No matter what considerations these people have, they will never give up Feng Dahan, a potential stock.
Although Shen Chenyu is now a Tongsheng, compared with Feng Dahan, his Tongsheng is obviously inferior to Feng Dahan because he lacks a father who is a backer.
Shen Chenyu didn't intend to argue with them, these old people were going to die soon. If he lost his life in arguing with them, then in the end it would be Chen Chenyu who will suffer the most.
Seeing that Shen Chenyu didn't seem to object, the village chief relaxed a little from his long-hanging heart. As long as Shen Chenyu, a boy, doesn't stand up, they will put all the faults on Xu Qingliu, and Feng Dahan's reputation will not be affected too much by then.
Just when the village was a little satisfied, Xu Qingliu was not very satisfied with it. He did such a shameless thing in the first place just to tie up Feng Dahan's people. But now these people only want to punish him, and then get rid of Feng Dahan.
Xu Qingliu was unwilling to accept this result. He wanted to bargain with the village head in front of him, but the village head slapped him before he opened his mouth. Now Xu Qingliu really hated the village chief, and felt that the village chief's face became ugly and hateful.
After that, Xu Qingliu stopped crying and making noise, and he seemed to be in despair. However, Shen Chenyu found something was wrong, the other party seemed to be thinking about how to escape from here.
Shen Chenyu didn't know what to think of, a light flashed in his eyes suddenly. So when Xu Qingliu suddenly jumped up and ran away, not only did Shen Chenyu not help to chase, but he also deliberately raised his foot to block the village chief for a while. After such a delay, Xu Qingliu ran away with her stomach in her arms.
Seeing this, the village chief was so angry that he told the villagers to hurry up and arrest him, while giving Chen Chenyu a bad look. He probably hated Shen Chenyu to death by now.
Shen Chenyu didn't seem to feel his dissatisfaction, but instead persuaded the village chief with a funny face: "Don't worry, the village chief, his little brother can't run far at all, let alone he is still pregnant with a child. Let's There are so many people in the village, so they must be found soon."
After Shen Chenyu said this, she turned around and left without waiting for the village chief to respond. He deliberately let Xu Qingliu go away because he didn't sympathize with the other party, a person who almost killed his husband, no matter how broad-minded he was, he couldn't forgive the other party.
The reason why Shen Chenyu wanted to let him go was because he didn't want Feng Dahan to have a good time. Thinking of the blockage Feng Dahan had filled for him before, how could he relieve his anger if he didn't retaliate.
Now he not only wants to let Xu Qingliu go, but also helps Xu Qingliu find Feng Dahan who is happy and happy. I don't know what will happen when the other party sees Xu Qingliu, when the two dogs bite the dog?
Shen Chenyu recruited a few reliable people from the Shen family, and asked them to mix among those who were looking for Xu Qingliu, and no matter where they found him, they would find a way to let him go.
Shen Jiayao originally followed Xu's family's jokes, but later, for some reason, she also followed to find someone. He didn't understand why Shen Chenyu wanted to let Xu Qingliu go, and he didn't intend to find out what was going on, he just ran back and forth with a group of people laughing and joking.
Then... I don't know if it was his luck, or God was helping Shen Chenyu and the others on purpose, and Shen Jiayao was the first to find him.
Shen Jiayao looked at the people hiding in the straw pile, and the people inside also looked at him with despair. And not far behind Shen Jiayao, there were three or four people from Xiling Village looking for Xu Qingliu.
The relationship between Xu Qingliu and Shen Jiayao is not good, plus the fight between the two families yesterday, the two can be said to be incompatible now.
Just when Xu Qingliu thought that Shen Jiayao would call for someone, Shen Jiayao suddenly pointed in another direction and shouted: "Ah, I saw someone, and seemed to be running over there."
Because of the opposing relationship between the two families, many people believed Shen Jiayao's words. After waiting for these people to leave one after another, Shen Jiayao suddenly took a step towards the straw pile.
"Let's go, I'll find a way to send you out of the village."
Hearing this, Xu Qingliu looked at him in disbelief, obviously the other party didn't believe him.
Seeing this, Shen Jiayao curled her lips, and said impatiently: "If I wanted to harm you, you would have been dragged away by now. So whether you want to leave or not, I will leave first. "
Xu Qingliu hurriedly stood up when she heard the words, then followed Shen Jiayao and stumbled out. When Shen Jiayao was sending Xu Qingliu away, she met Shen Lianghan who was looking for her on the way.
With the help of a big man like Shen Lianghan, Shen Jiayao, who was a little scared at first, breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, it was the first time he was against the whole village, and Shen Jiayao, a little brother, would feel a little uneasy.
Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way. Shen Lianghan thought about what Shen Chenyu had told them before, and he sent the person out of the village and returned the money to the other party. After having money, Xu Qingliu can go to Feng Dahan, after all, he is still pregnant with Feng Dahan's seed, so in this case Xu Qingliu can only go to Feng Dahan.
Although Xu Qingliu was very surprised why the Shen family came to help him. But right now he hated the village chief, so he didn't have time to investigate further.
Shen Lianghan kept watching Xu Qingliu go away, and after making sure that he would not be caught again, he returned to the village with Shen Jiayao beside him.
At this time, the village was still very lively. Everyone felt that Xu Qingliu would not be far away with the child in her arms, so the search area was always near the village.
Even if they sense something is wrong now, it is not so easy to find it outside the village, because they are not familiar with other places.
When Shen Lianghan went to look for Shen Chenyu, Shen Chenyu just came out of the second grandpa's house. Shen Chenyu told the second great-grandfather everything about Feng Dahan's harming him many times.
Combined with these things that happened today, the village chief must have hated Shen Chenyu for a long time. Shen Chenyu told the second great-grandfather and the others in order to let them be wary of the village chief.
In fact, no matter what the relationship between Shen Chenyu and Feng Dahan is, just because Shen's life is getting better and better during this period of time, their Shen family can't even think about living a peaceful life.
This is not a matter of people's unpopular customs, but that everyone is equally poor at the beginning, and they are all a group of farmers who plan their food on the ground. However, some of them suddenly became rich, and it was inevitable that some would be envious and jealous.
So after Shen Chenyu came back, the second great-grandfather had expected this day to come, and had already prepared all the measures to deal with it. It is impossible for them to give up an opportunity to change Shen's family status just because they are afraid of envy and jealousy.
Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position. Shen Chenyu is an opportunity for the Shen family to reborn, and it is also an opportunity for the descendants of the Shen family to stand out. For things like being able to bless the descendants, if the village chief and Feng Dahan are the obstacles in the way for Shen Chenyu to move forward, Shen will do everything possible to find a way to eradicate it.
This is the power of a family. The relationship between Shen Chenyu and the Shen family in Xiling Village is like a relationship of mutual help. Shen Chenyu took Shen Shi to change his family status, and Shen Shi helped Shen Chenyu get rid of the troubles that he was inconvenient to solve.
The stronger Shen Chenyu is, the stronger the Shen family in Xiling Village will be. Similarly, the stronger the Shen family, the stronger it would be for Shen Chenyu.
Survival in ancient times was different from that of later generations. The environment of later generations was relatively safe and harmonious, and even a woman could survive. But it was different in ancient times. The blessing of a person who leaves the family is duckweed, and anyone can come to trouble you.
Just like Shen Chenyu and the others, if they were separated from the protection of the Shen family in Xiling Village. Orphans and widows will be bullied wherever they go. Shen Chenyu, let alone go to school with peace of mind, probably has inexplicable troubles every day.
This is why the ancients cared so much about the family. Once someone made a big mistake, being removed from the family tree is the biggest punishment.
After Shen Chenyu left, the Second Grandpa called all the men in the clan over. Today's Shen Chenyu represents their Shen family. Once the collective interests of a family are involved, everyone will unite and become a rope.
The Second Grandpa didn't intend to hide it from the people in the clan, only if everyone knew what happened in their hearts, then they wouldn't be easily deceived.
After Shen Lianghan's father heard what happened, he snorted coldly, then looked at the second great-grandfather and said, "If the second uncle hadn't been humble, he would not have been the village chief of Xiling Village. Now Feng Dahan That kid did such a scandal, and the village chief dared to defend him like this. He is really biased. Since he doesn't want to be the village chief, why don't we pull him down and we can save him. It's trying to trip us up."
Uncle Shen nodded upon hearing this, their Shen family is also a big family in Xiling Village, nearly a quarter of them are people with the surname Shen, and they are really not afraid of people Feng's side.
In the past, they never fought or robbed because the village chief was fair most of the time, and he never targeted people from their Shen family. In addition, Feng Dahan is the only scholar in Xiling Village, seeing that Feng Dahan is a child, they only tolerated it a little.
However, now, Shen Chenyu has also become a child, and Shen Chenyu is the confidence of their Shen family.
If the two clans could live in peace, they would never be free to compete with the Feng family for the position of village head. But now it's the Feng family who keep making trouble for the Shen family, so don't blame their Shen family for being ruthless.
...
Shen Chenyu has been busy since she came back, and now she finally returned to her home, and found Shen Liushi and Mu Linting packing things.
Shen Liushi looked at the pile of things he bought, feeling that the child wasted money randomly and at the same time very happy. Because most of the things here were bought by Shen Chenyu for the two big ones and one small three in the family.
Among them were several bolts of brightly colored cloth, bought back to make clothes for Shen Liushi and Xiao Roubao. After that, he also bought some ready-made clothes for the three of them. The clothes in the prefecture city were better in style and fabric than those in the county town.
In addition to cloth and clothes, Shen Chenyu also bought mirrors, combs, silver hairpins, hairpin flowers, handkerchiefs and so on. Shen Chenyu has the potential of a shopaholic, and he doesn't even remember when he bought a lot of things.
Shen Chenyu picked out Mu Linting's things, and the rest belonged to Shen Liushi and Xiao Roubao. As for those extra things, he also handed them over to Shen Liushi to deal with. No matter whether she hides things at the bottom of the box or gives them away as favors, Shen Chenyu will not interfere in these matters.
They ate dinner in the big room. Grandma Shen and Aunt Shen made it together. Not only did they have chicken and fish, they also stewed a big goose, which shows how rich this dinner is.
Only then did Shen Chenyu know that besides what happened today, someone went to their house to make trouble yesterday. After he heard the reason of the matter, did he understand what was going on with Mu Linting's emotions before? No wonder he felt that Mu Linting looked listless, probably because he heard what those people said.
Because she was worried that Mu Linting would think too much, Shen Chenyu didn't stay long at her uncle's house. After they returned to their home, Shen Chenyu pulled Mu Linting back to the room. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Mu Linting felt a little uncomfortable being alone all of a sudden.
Shen Chenyu asked Mu Linting to sit down on the chair, and then brought a pair of white feather boots from the side. When Shen Chenyu was buying boots, she thought that Mu Linting would be good at martial arts and wearing a strong suit. A pair of boots would look good with a narrow waist and long legs.
When he went to the big room for dinner, he found that Mu Linting was still wearing a pair of rag shoes. Mrs. Shen and Liu had made two pairs of new shoes for him before, but because he couldn't see people who stumbled and stumbled, even the best shoes would be worn out by someone like him, so he kept wearing the old cloth shoes.
Mu Linting noticed Shen Chenyu's movement, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to stop him, but Shen Chenyu grabbed his hand again.
Shen Chenyu squeezed his cold fingertips, then conjured up an oiled paper bag like a trick, and then stuffed the oiled paper bag into his hand.
"I can see that you are uncomfortable in the big room. You must not have eaten with so many people at that time. I brought this back for you from outside. How about you just open it and taste it?"
The time in Shen Chenyu's space is static, so he has formed the habit of buying all kinds of delicacies. He bought these things when he was in Fucheng, and there are a lot of delicacies that taste really good. Especially some handmade pastries and the like, even the developed future generations can't eat them.
When Mu Linting lowered his head to open the oil paper package, Shen Chenyu helped him put on the newly bought boots. At first, Mu Linting was still a little bit resistant, always feeling that Shen Chenyu should not be bent down in front of him.
But Shen Chenyu didn't care about this at all. He was not an out-and-out man in this era, but came from an era of equal rights. It is normal for a man to bend over in front of a woman there. Not only will he not be looked down upon by others, but he will also be praised as a good man who loves his wife.
"How is it? Is it comfortable to wear?"
Mu Linting stood up and took a step when he heard this, then lowered his long eyelashes and hummed. Seeing that the boots fit well , Shen Chenyu
couldn't help but proudly said: "Fortunately, I touched your feet before, otherwise I really don't know the size of your feet."
The ears couldn't help but feel a little hot. Although she knew that Shen Chenyu's character was out of character, she was still uncomfortable by his words.
It's strange to say that he used to be rooted in the crowd of men, and he didn't listen to those men's dirty accents. But at that time, not only did he feel nothing, but he was also very bored. However, when he heard Shen Chenyu's words, he would feel very strange, not only did he not feel offended at all, but also...
Suddenly, the warm breath came close, almost touching his long and delicate eyelashes. Mu Linting was taken aback, and quickly stepped back a few steps.
Shen Chenyu just saw that he was distracted, so she couldn't hold back and moved closer. She didn't expect Mu Linting's reaction to be so big. He quickly stretched out his hand to grab Mu Linting, so that Mu Linting didn't bump into the table behind him.
"Are you okay? Why are you so afraid of me?"
Mu Linting heard the words, his empty eyes flickered for a moment, and then he retorted: "I'm not, I'm not afraid of you."
Shen Chenyu looked at his pink ears, and helped him to sit down again with a funny face. "Since you're not afraid of me, why did you react so strongly?"
Seeing that Mu Linting didn't answer, Shen Chenyu leaned over slightly and stared at Mu Linting and said, "Mu Linting, have you ever thought about it, why don't you let me go?" ."
Mu Linting wrapped his hands tightly in oiled paper, and the pupils hidden under the eyelashes were also trembling. He really didn't expect the other party to mention this matter, and his ears were filled with the sound of his own heartbeat.
Since Shen Chenyu came here, the two of them had a tacit understanding not to mention this question. Shen Chenyu's idea at the beginning was very simple, that is, she felt that Mu Linting was a good and reliable character. Instead of finding someone who is unclear to live with, it is better to find someone who knows the basics and stay together for the rest of her life.
Although this kind of relationship seems not as vigorous as others, it is Shen Chenyu's favorite way of life. Don't look at him as a rich young master in his previous life, but because his childhood was not very happy, he actually prefers a stable and stable life.
It stands to reason that Shen Chenyu is older than Mu Linting, but in terms of psychological age, Shen Chenyu is really not as calm as Mu Linting.
He still remembered that when he first came to wear it, he was confused and uneasy. If he hadn't been accompanied by a powerful Mu Linting, Shen Chenyu felt that he would be panicked in such an environment.
Afterwards, the two moved to Xiling Village, and they never mentioned their future. Shen Chenyu thought that Mu Linting had been actively living with him without saying anything, which meant that he admitted that he wanted to be his wife.
However, Shen Chenyu forgot that the relationship between them is not about same-sex love in future generations. The status of the two of them is not equal, and I forgot that if I don't give an accurate answer, Mu Linting, who is a brother and a weak person, will feel uneasy.
Two unequal statuses, the gap between two people, coupled with the gossip of the people around, no matter how strong the character is, people will feel uneasy.
Shen Chenyu is also quite helpless, he has never been in love in his previous life, and he has no experience in love at all. It is inevitable that a novice will have bumps and bumps, but fortunately, Mu Linting is also an ignorant novice, otherwise the other party would have turned away from him and turned away.
Shen Chenyu looked at the struggle in Mu Linting's eyes, and could vaguely guess what Mu Linting was worried about, and also knew that Mu Linting had a lump in his heart.
But now is not the time to back down, he must use a strong dose of medicine to make the other party feel at ease. He didn't want to find out that his little daughter-in-law didn't want him when he came back from the next hospital exam.
Shen Chenyu, who was thinking like this, suddenly asked softly: "If you don't say anything, I will take it as acquiescence. Then you are my husband now, can I kiss you?"
Mu Linting suddenly raised his head when he heard his words, It seems that he wants to see Shen Chenyu with his eyes, but unfortunately no matter how hard he tries, he can't.
Seeing this, Shen Chenyu's heart ached, and she couldn't hold back for a moment and kissed his eyes. He fell in love with these beautiful eyes at first sight, but unfortunately, these eyes could not see the light.
After Shen Chenyu kissed, she wanted to distance herself, fearing that she would make Mu Linting feel uncomfortable if she was too abrupt. However, in the next second, the warm and soft lips chased him and kissed him on the chin.
The other party probably wanted to kiss his lips, but because he couldn't see the wrong position, he kissed him on the chin.
Shen Chenyu's eyes trembled slightly, then he pushed Mu Linting to the back of the chair with one hand, pinched the other's chin with the other and lowered his head.
The first time two people kissed, the other party was still the person they liked, even though they were not very skilled, they showed enthusiasm and forbearance.
Although Shen Chenyu is also a novice, but no matter how novice he has watched the small h movies, he is more experienced than Mu Linting who can't express. So it didn't take long, during the trial of two stumbling novices, a guy from later generations took the lead.
Mu Linting is more indulgent towards Shen Chenyu, which can be seen from the relationship between the two of them. It was this silent connivance that made Shen Chenyu dare to try on him.
Then Shen Chenyu's kissing skills sublimated from a slightly green boy overnight, and kept pressing the person on the bed and kissing until he almost suffocated, then he licked his lips and let the other person go.
At this moment, Mu Linting's mind was like a muddle, his eyes were open and his face was full of bewilderment. This feeling was completely different from what he had imagined.
He had seen other people making out in the military camp before, but because those people were either forced, or they were some people who were used as soldiers. Therefore, most of their happiness is unsightly, only the man who looks happy, as for the women or brothers, they all have pain on their faces.
He thought that if he did this kind of thing, only Shen Chenyu, who is a man, would be happy. But when Shen Chenyu kissed him hard, in addition to the suffocation feeling that his chest was about to explode, he actually... also felt a crisp and numb feeling.
Mu Linting didn't understand what it felt like, he seemed to be very comfortable when he said it was painful, but he almost exploded when he said it was comfortable.
It's weird, it's really... weird, he seems to be weird?
Because Mu Linting's eyes were stained with emotion, which made his already beautiful eyes look even more beautiful. Shen Chenyu's heart moved when she saw this, she tilted her head and kissed his eyes again. Sensing the trembling of the other's jewel-like eyes, Shen Chenyu's heart softened even more.
Mu Linting has a calm, decisive, and strong personality. Whether it's his previous situation, or Shen Chenyu just let him choose. Although Mu Linting looked very tangled at first, once he made up his mind, he would be more determined than anyone else. Such a person gives people a very reliable and reassuring feeling.
However, it is such a person, so strong and so tough, but just because of Shen Chenyu's kiss, his resolute face is dyed with amorous feelings, a unique beauty that will only be shown to Shen Chenyu.
Shen Chenyu stretched out her hand to hug him, then leaned close to Mu Linting's ear and said, "What's your expression? Where are we going? You look like you've been bullied by me. What happened to you, would you just cry on the spot?"
Mu Linting was a little awkward at first, but now he was even more awkward when he heard Shen Chenyu's words. He wanted to reach out and push the person in front of him away, not wanting to get too close to the other person's body. But the other party seemed to have expected it a long time ago, not only did not return the money, he shamelessly moved closer to his neck... The
next day Shen Chenyu got up very early, and first went to the study to warm up the book for a while. Afterwards, he saw Mu Linting also get up, and the two of them went out to fetch water together with buckets.
Xiling Village is located among the mountains. In the distance is a dark green towering and mysterious mountain, and the white mist on the ground nearby is rolling forward with the wind.
Some people in the village get up early and walk slowly to the fields with farm tools on their shoulders. From time to time, a boy herding cattle yawned and passed by sitting on the back of the cattle.
No matter what the season is, the morning in the mountains always has a damp earthy smell, just like the refreshing feeling after heavy rain.
Shen Chenyu likes this atmosphere very much, as if he accidentally broke into the ink painting and came to a beautiful paradise.
When Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting came to the river together, several village women were already washing clothes by the river. When they saw Shen Chenyu came back, they helped their husband fetch water, and they couldn't help but catch Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting making jokes.
Shen Chenyu didn't care about such jokes, when others asked him why he felt so sorry for Fulang, Shen Chenyu smiled and said: "Because my husband is good, in order to prevent Fulang from abandoning me in the future, of course I have to treat him better It 's okay."
Generally, young couples can't help but feel a little shy when they are teased. But Shen Chenyu was completely different. Not only did he not feel embarrassed, but he also took this opportunity to express his heart to Mu Linting.
At first, Mu Linting was quite stable, but when an old woman joked, "Yo, brother Yu and Fulang have such a good relationship, the two of them are inseparable. Is it true that the young husband of the Shen family is pregnant again?"
Mu Linting heard the words, thinking of what someone said yesterday, his steps were a little soft for some reason. Fortunately, no matter how confused he is now, his indifferent face is still very stable. It seems that he doesn't care about other people's words at all, but his ears are already red.
While Shen Chenyu picked up the bucket, she turned her eyes to Mu Linting who was standing by the river. "My husband hurt his body when he gave birth to Qinger. I plan to take care of his body. After all, it is more important to be older than a child."
At the beginning, because Shen Chenyu became a child, everyone couldn't help being jealous of Mu Lin court. Now hearing Shen Chenyu say such words, Mu Linting's eyes suddenly became more sour.
At this time, men mostly care about offspring. Shen Chenyu's first child is just a little brother, and she usually thinks of ways to have a boy.
For the sake of his wife or husband's body, few men would put off such a big event as inheriting incense. There are some men who can completely disregard the life and death of their wives or husbands even for the sake of their children.
Now hearing what Shen Chenyu said, some people probably thought of their childbirth, and the smile on their faces froze suddenly.
Shen Chenyu said these expressive words just to make Mu Linting feel at ease, and she didn't mean to show off to others at all.
So when he saw someone's expression was wrong, he consciously didn't continue talking, and then left quickly with Mu Linting.
Shen Chenyu felt guilty for a moment, but he really didn't mean to do this. This is the general situation of this era. Although he sympathizes with their situation very much, this kind of thing cannot be changed overnight.
He can only do his best to treat Mu Linting well, to change the attitudes of the people around him towards women and brothers, but he can't change everyone's minds at once.
Even if he stands in a very high position in the future, this deep-rooted unfair treatment will slowly change with time and blood.
When Shen Chenyu went back, thinking about what happened yesterday, she couldn't help but said to Mu Linting: "I'm considered a half-talented talent now, and I will definitely buy a book boy in the future. Thinking that you were almost hit by someone when you fetched water yesterday, I I just wanted to buy a servant when I was buying a book boy, so that you don't have to work so hard to fetch water every day."
Mu Linting subconsciously wanted to refuse when he heard the words, but he thought that the days of the Shen family are getting better and better, these servants will eventually be Inevitably. Even though Mu Linting himself is not used to ordering his servants around, there are still Mrs. Shen Liu and Xiaoroubao at home. He cannot deprive others of the right to pursue a better life just because he is used to living a hard life. So Mu Linting hesitated for a moment, then he nodded at Shen Chenyu.
"Since you have agreed, I will ask the matchmaker to come to the door tomorrow, and then you and your mother will choose one."
"Okay."
So that afternoon, Shen Chenyu told the Shen family about the buyer, and let her When he goes to town tomorrow, he'll have the toothmaid come over. It just so happened that the aunt of the Shen family also wanted to buy a servant, so that she and her daughter-in-law would not have to be dizzy from being so busy every day.
I heard that there are many ways for a woman not to have children. Yun Xuanxuan suffered too much with the Shen family in the early years, washed clothes in the river in winter and suffered from the cold, which made Yun Xuanxuan, who was already in poor health, even weaker. cold.
Before the Shen family heard that Shen Chenyu made Ganoderma lucidum to nourish Mu Linting and Shen Liushi. He didn't know if Mu Linting's health had improved, but he could tell that Shen Liu's complexion had improved a lot.
Now that the Shen family has money in their hands, they want to get some good things for Yun Xuanxuan to make up for it, maybe Yun Xuanxuan will become pregnant after making up for it.
...
The next afternoon, the Shen family brought a toothmaid into the village. Of course, Yamao didn't come alone. There were three bullock carts with sheds behind her, and there were nearly thirty people sitting on the bullock carts.
The first room of the Shen family only wanted an old woman who could work, so the first room was chosen by the first room before going to the second room. The toothmaid only stayed in the big room for half an hour, and then arrived at Shen Chenyu's house with three people in an ox cart.
There are no recreational activities in this era, and if there is any trouble in the village, there will be people watching. So when the matchmaker arrived at Shen Chenyu's house, a group of idle people came to Shen's house to join in the fun.
An old woman pointed to three ox carts, and couldn't help but secretly said to the people around her: "The Shen family has really risen, and they are going to buy people to live as landlords."
The people next to him said: "It seems that Brother Yu wants to buy a book boy. It will be more convenient to go out for the exam in the future. After all, the exam is not at the door of the house. You can rest assured that you can bring someone at home on the way."
Another young brother also said: "Yes, yes, scholars There must be a book boy. I heard that their family will buy a servant, and it is for the blind husband. It is inconvenient for him to do anything as a blind man. Of course, he must buy a servant to take care of him."
Also ran over to join in the fun Shen Jiayao, who just came here, heard the other party's sour words, and immediately raised two eyebrows and stared at the other party and said: "Liu Erniuzi, can you talk, can you talk? If you really don't You can talk, let me tear your mouth open to teach you?"
Although Shen Jiayao doesn't like people from the second room, he has a problem with being protective. Just like how he hates the second grandpa's fat girl very much, but when he finds out that someone with a foreign surname bullies fat girl, he will also fight for fat girl. However, Shen Jiayao helping Fatty fight is the same thing, after the fight, he and Fatty are still at odds with each other.
Liu Erniuzi was taken aback by Shen Jiayao, and subconsciously took two steps to the side. When Shen Jiayao walked away proudly, he muttered in dissatisfaction. "Bah, what are you proud of? You didn't get rich by relying on other people. It's really disgusting."
This time, the prostitute brought twenty-eight people, including ten men, ten women, and eight brothers. . The eldest house had chosen a woman before, but now there are still ten men, nine women, and eight elder brothers.
The toothmaid has a clean personality, and she doesn't hide and let everyone out, so that Shen Chenyu's family can choose by themselves.
To be honest, she came here this time because of Shen Chenyu's face, otherwise she would not be willing to come to such a poor mountain valley. After all, it wasn't a big business, and the Shen family only bought one or two people, and it wasn't to the point where she personally sent them to the door.
The courtyard of Shen Chenyu's house is not that big, and it seemed crowded when nearly thirty people came all at once. These people were divided into three teams of men and women, and they were arranged in order according to age.
The situation in Shen Chenyu's family is quite special, Shen Liu is a widow, Mu Linting is his husband, and there is a younger brother's child, it is not convenient to buy a young and middle-aged laborer to come back.
Although the sale contract is in their hands, because Shen Chenyu is not at home all the year round, even if nothing happens between them, ugly rumors will spread over time.
Coupled with the fact that men are tall and strong, they are not as easy to control as women and brothers, so Shen Chenyu plans to buy a young boy, and then buy two hardworking women or brothers.
The little boy acted as a bookboy for him, and has been by his side ever since. After the other party grows up, it is estimated that the Shen family will not live here, and there will be more adults in the house, so there will be no worries as much as he does now.
Among the ten boys brought by the toothmaid, only three were in the younger grades. Among them, the youngest is five years old, the oldest is twelve years old, and the middle one is nine years old.
The youngest one is too young, and it is estimated that Shen Chenyu will be distracted to take care of him after buying it, so only twelve and nine years old are more suitable.
But the twelve-year-old child probably felt that Shen's family lived in a small mountain village, and Shen Chenyu's family didn't look very rich, so he was not very active.
Seeing this, Shen Chenyu was a little funny. Since the other party wanted to climb higher branches, he was not good at doing things that are difficult for others, so he finally chose the nine-year-old one.
The nine-year-old child was a little stunned. He hadn't reacted when he was selected by Shen Chenyu. After Shen Chenyu called him over, he came back to his senses with an expression of disbelief.
Because the child looked a bit dull and was not a good-spoken character, he failed to sell all the way. Due to the large number of people who came this time, he thought he would have the same result as before, but he didn't expect to be selected so easily.
Seeing the happy expression on the nine-year-old child's face, the twelve-year-old curled his lips when he saw this, and he was laughing at the other party for being such a fool. What's so good about being sold to such a remote place? What is it?
After Shen Chenyu chose the little book boy, she asked Shen Liushi and Mu Linting to choose by themselves. Due to Shen Liu's character being a bit weak, and Mu Linting's eyes are blind, so he helped to choose the remaining two people in the end.
Shen Chenyu chose a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. This little girl is not only generous but also eloquent. Letting her follow Shen Liushi can also relieve Shen Liushi's boredom.
The last one I chose was a brother in his thirties. This brother was born burly and had a scar on his forehead. Shen Chenyu thought that he was also a brother, maybe Mu Linting could get along with him between the same sex, but he didn't expect him to find an old friend for Mu Linting.
After the toothmaid had paid the money and left, Shen Chenyu vaguely sensed something was wrong, not only the brother, but also Mu Linting, who seemed a little restless at the side.
Mu Linting is not a person who shows his emotions, his sudden reaction made Shen Chenyu very puzzled. It was not until the two of them were alone at night that Shen Chenyu understood what was going on through Mu Linting.
It turned out that the burly brother used to be one of Mu Linting's subordinates. When Mu Linting was still a general, he kept the other party regardless of other people's objections. Although the opponent has no real power in the army, he is Mu Linting's most trusted person in private. Later, after Mu Linting's identity was exposed, this person was also implicated by him and demoted to slavery. At that time, Mu Linting really wanted to save him, but unfortunately he couldn't even save himself at that time, and in the end he could only watch the other party become an inferior slave.
However, what Mu Linting didn't expect was that they would meet in this way after going around. The other party did not expect that Mu Linting would be here. The general he once regarded as a god has now become an ugly and ordinary farmer, and he does not know what kind of torture the other party has experienced.
Mu Linting opened his eyes wide and empty, as if he was looking at Shen Chenyu seriously, he said: "I want to return the deed of sale to him, and then give him a sum of money, which I owe him."
Shen Chenyu heard Yan, shook his hand a little distressed. "Okay, these are small things, you can do whatever you want, and I will support you."
Shen Chenyu brought the person's deed of sale, and then gave Mu Linting a hundred taels of silver. When Mu Linting got the two things, he felt indescribably grateful to Shen Chenyu. But he is like this, even if he is very grateful to Shen Chenyu, he won't speak well. Fortunately, Shen Chenyu knew what kind of temper he was, even if Mu Linting didn't tell him, he knew what Mu Linting was thinking.
Mu Linting is not ready to let Shen Chenyu know about the past. Although he knew that with Shen Chenyu's intelligence, the other party must already have some understanding of his affairs, but he still couldn't bring Shen Chenyu to face the past.
Seeing that Mu Linting didn't want him to intervene, Shen Chenyu didn't follow him there, but went to the study alone to read. An hour later, when Shen Chenyu came back, that brother still hadn't left, and was kneeling at Mu Linting's feet with red eyes.
This brother was born burly, and if it wasn't for the mole on his forehead, he would easily be mistaken for a man.
At this time, the tall and burly brother knelt on the ground, still dressed in the same dirty clothes during the day. On his bare wrist, all kinds of old and new scars overlapped and looked densely packed.
The other party's contract of prostitution was torn to pieces, it should be Mu Linting tore it up for this brother, it can be seen that Mu Linting really wanted to set him free.
It's a pity that the person in front of him seems to be a deadhead. After confirming Mu Linting's identity, he has been kneeling and unwilling to leave here. Just like when Mu Linting's identity was exposed back then, when Mu Linting drove him away, he was so stupid that he didn't want to leave.
Mu Linting seemed to be angry, and then lowered his eyes and scolded an idiot. The other party was not only not angry when he heard the words, but also very excited as if he had found some reason.
"Yes, I am an idiot. If I leave the boss, I will be bullied. Boss... Look at the injuries on my body. They were all beaten by other masters after I was sold out. Even if you beat me up today After driving away, I am not a slave anymore, but with my IQ, it is estimated that I will be sold soon. So let me stay, and save me from being bullied."
That brother is also interesting, he is almost ten years older than Mu Linting, and he is more than half a head taller than Mu Linting. At this time, he was like a child, playing a rascal while shrinking pitifully on the ground.
The other party originally wanted Mu Linting to see his injuries, thinking that Mu Linting would not be willing to let him go because of his distress. As a result, he soon remembered that Mu Linting couldn't see, and the tall brother suddenly started to cry sadly.
When he was demoted to slavery, Mu Linting suffered serious injuries, but both his eyes and face were fine. However, Mu Linting now has lost his eyesight, his face has been scratched, and even his legs and feet seem to have problems. Thinking of the general who once looked like a god of war being tortured into such a state by those gangs, Brother Gao's eyes were bloodshot with hatred.
Mu Linting didn't want to hear him play tricks, got up and dragged the other party to drive him away. But the other party used both hands and feet, and hugged Mu Linting's leg, his posture was really like that of a crazy child.
Although Mu Linting's strength is great, but compared with his brother who is born with supernatural power, no matter how strong he is, he can't help him.
Mu Linting pressed his temples, and then said cruelly: "I am no longer the general I used to be, and you are no longer my guard. You have also seen my current situation, I have I also have a child in my family. I don't want to be involved with the past, and I don't want someone to ruin my ordinary life now."
Brother Gao's face turned pale when he heard this, and his eyes gradually lost their luster. He didn't know what the general had gone through. Why was that brilliant man willing to let go of his hatred and become an ordinary farmer? This is different from the general in his memory. The general will not be tied up for the sake of family affection, and he will not give up everything because of small love and love.
Shen Chenyu watched Mu Linting drive elder brother Gao out, but she could vaguely guess Mu Linting's struggles and concerns. While feeling very guilty about what happened to brother Gao, he didn't want to meet too many people and things from the past, worrying that it would bring disaster to Shen Chenyu and the others.
So Mu Linting wanted to drive away the other party, fearing that if he got in touch with too many people from the past, he would attract the prince's attention again.
The bottom line of all this is that Shen Chenyu is not strong enough now, otherwise Mu Linting would not be so complacent, and he would not even be able to deal with people normally.
...
When the two were resting at night, Shen Chenyu hesitated and said: "Actually, the situation is not as bad as you think, as long as the other party stays honestly in the small mountain village, no one will notice the difference between you .And what's more... Please give me some more time, I will try my best to become stronger quickly, and then you won't have to be so timid anymore."
Mu Linting didn't expect him to say this, and couldn't help leaning towards Shen Shen Yu came in front of her, and then squeezed into Shen Chenyu's not-so-large arms.
Although this boy is not strong enough, the opponent is growing rapidly. He has gone from being terrified to kill a wolf to ruining other people's life with a deadpan expression. Although his so-called counterattacks and methods are all based on others attacking him, he has only been here for a year and a half. Such a change can be said to be very rare.
Mu Linting suddenly said: "No."
Shen Chenyu hugged the person in his arms, and asked with downcast eyes: "Nothing?"
Mu Linting raised his head, and then said: "I don't feel wronged, I follow you... It's the best life I've ever had."
He didn't feel any grievances, compared to the time when thousands of people accused and insulted everyone, the life with Shen Chenyu was the most relaxed and comfortable. He doesn't have to worry about being calculated by others all the time, and he doesn't have to sleep every day because of the war.
Just like Xu Qingliu's embarrassment before, to Mu Linting it was like playing a house, he didn't take it to heart at all. It is only because the life here is comfortable that he can relax and feel at ease.
"If that person hasn't left tomorrow, let the other person stay. It's rare for you to have someone to talk to. I can feel at ease if he is with you in the future."
When Mu Linting heard Shen Chenyu's words, he thought that Shen Chenyu was going to take the hospital examination in August, and the other party's visit was estimated to be another month. Mu Linting was a little reluctant to let Shen Chenyu leave, and even wanted to ask him to take her there for a moment.
But when the words came to his lips, his rationality suddenly stopped him. He can't go with his status, if he meets someone outside, he will only cause trouble for Shen Chenyu.
...
The next day, Shen Chenyu got up early in the morning to study, and saw that her brother from yesterday hadn't left yet, and was huddling in front of the courtyard like a big dog. Shen Chenyu opened the courtyard door to let the other party in. Seeing this, the other party subconsciously wanted to stand up, and almost fell over because of squatting for too long.
After Shen Chenyu asked people to come in, she read the book for a while and went to the second grandpa's house. There are still too few houses in their family, and he plans to build three more houses while he is at home.
The farm house is very easy to build. It took less than half a month to build three spacious houses. The three new houses are connected together. On the right is a large bedroom with a cubicle, in the middle is a large hallway connecting left and right, and on the left are two smaller rooms.
Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting did not move, they still occupied the previous bedroom and study. Shen Liushi moved from the old house to the big bedroom, and the little maid she just bought lived in the small compartment of the big bedroom. Although the cubicle is not as big as other rooms, but because she lives with Mrs. Shen Liu, Mrs. Shen will be able to light up the charcoal basin in the future.
Mu Linting's subordinates lived in the room on the left, and the other room was used as a washing room for a group of brothers and daughters. As for the little book boy Shen Chenyu bought, he followed Shen Chenyu around on weekdays, and when he came back, he lived in the old house where Shen Liushi lived before.
Shen Chenyu also demolished the wall behind the new house, and then pushed half an acre of land outside according to the position of the wall, and just built a front and back yard with the new house as the boundary. From now on, the laundry by Mrs. Shen and Liu can be directly dried in the backyard, and there is no need to worry about the inconvenience of men coming to the front yard.
As for Shen Chenyu, she is not short of money, why not demolish and build a big courtyard again? The main reason is that Shen Chenyu will not live in Xiling Village for a long time.
If Shen Chenyu passed the hospital examination this time, then Shen Chenyu would become a scholar from childhood. Scholars, also known as students, can enter county schools or prefectural schools to continue their studies according to their ranking in the college examination.
No matter whether Shen Chenyu enters the county school or the government school, he will bring all the family members with him. Anyway, no one will live in the old house, so there is no need to repair the old house so grandly.
In fact, even if they move to the county or the prefecture, Shen Chenyu and the others will not live for too long, because Shen Chenyu will not stop at a scholar, he must at least pass the exam to enter the official career, so sooner or later in these places now Still have to leave.
Of the three people Shen Chenyu bought, except for the brother who has his own name, the other two have to rename. The little bookboy is called Xiangmo, and the little maid is called Xiangxue, and the name Xiang in their names comes from Xiangzhou in Xiangzhou.
Today's Xiangzhou is like the provincial capital of later generations. Xiangzhou includes four prefectures, namely Liangzhou Mansion, Pingyang Mansion, Linyue Mansion and Wuling Mansion.
Among them, Wuling Mansion is like the capital city of the later generations, and it can also be regarded as the first mansion of Xiangzhou. No matter whether it is the subsequent college examination or the rural examination, it will be held in the first palace of the major provincial capitals. At that time, Shen Chenyu will also go to Wuling Mansion with Master Liu and the others.
That brother is an orphan. Before he met Mu Linting, he didn't even have a proper name. Later, the other party was accepted by Mu Linting, so he named him Mu Yangzhen after Mu Linting's surname. In order not to let others know his identity, Mu Yangzhen had the same name as Xiangmo and the others, and was called Xiangzhen after the word Xiang.
The clothes on the three of them were all bought by Shen Chenyu in one go afterwards. There are two sets of seasonal clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter, including shoes and socks.
As for their clothes and monthly money, these are handed over to Shen Liushi and Mu Linting. Generally, such servants who have signed a death contract are not as good as those who have signed a living contract. If they offend their masters, they will either be sold or killed. Very few people can live a good life.
But the Shen family is a good-tempered family. They didn't buy people to show off their wealth, but to find someone to help with housework. So not only did each of them get monthly money, but the Shen family didn't treat them badly when it came to eating and drinking.
Xiang Zhen's strength is very strong, to the point of being exaggerated. Because of his great strength, he also eats a lot. Xiang Zhen didn't collect the monthly money from the Shen family, and ate all the monthly money as rations.
Originally, Shen Liushi thought it might be inappropriate, but after seeing Mu Linting nodded in agreement, it was hard for her to stand up and refute his opinion.
Having servants saves a lot of work. Xiangzhen is in charge of carrying water and chopping firewood and going up the mountain to buy some game. Xiangxue is in charge of doing chores like washing clothes and cooking. Xiangmo is still young enough to study ink, serve tea and deliver water and other small things.
The members of the Shen family suddenly became relaxed, which was not very used to both Shen Liushi and Mu Linting. The two of them used to be hardworking people, and they would feel flustered when they were suddenly idle after working hard for too long.
Fortunately, there is still a baby at home, and even if the two of them feel flustered, they still have things to do, such as coaxing the talking meat bun to play.
A few months ago, Xiaoroubao began to babble and start learning to speak. Mu Linting is not a talkative person, so the matter of teaching Xiao Roubao to speak was left to Shen Liushi and Shen Jiayao who loves to visit.
Ever since he discovered the beauty of Xiaoroubao, Shen Jiayao has been obsessed with coming to the second room to suck babies every day. Because of Shen Chenyu's return, he stayed at home honestly for a while, but in the past few days he has started to sneak into the second room of Shen's family. Shen Jiayao not only drilled alone, but also often brought the shy Yun Xuanxuan along.
Talk about spending more time with milk dolls, maybe you can get acquainted with milk dolls, and then attract other milk dolls. Although there is no basis for this statement, there are indeed many childless families who conceived children after adopting or adopting other children.
I don't know if sucking cubs has an effect. On the evening of the day approaching July, Yun Xuanxuan was holding the pink, tender, fragrant and soft meat buns, and planned to hug him while the weather was not hot. Go out for a stroll. In the end, Yun Xuanxuan felt that before she had walked a long distance, her eyes turned black, she quickly hugged the little meat bun in her arms and let out a cry.
When the Shen family in Shen Chenyu's study heard the sound, he immediately ran out nervously, and then saw Yun Xuanxuan's pale face. The Shen family handed the little meat bun to Mrs. Shen Liu, and hurriedly left with Yun Xuanxuan on their backs. It wasn't until the young couple came back from the town that they learned that Yun Xuanxuan's discomfort was because she was pregnant.
Yun Xuanxuan's health is not good, it is really difficult for her to conceive a child. Now that she is finally pregnant, her reaction is bigger than others, and she will inevitably suffer a little bit later.
When Shen Chenyu brought Mu Linting over, the Shen family was holding Yun Xuanxuan and crying. When the two were in the town before, the Shen family almost couldn't help crying several times, but fortunately, he is more face-saving and has been holding back until now.
Now that the family is full of their own people, the members of the Shen family cried out of nowhere. Yun Xuanxuan had already cried once before, and when she saw the Shen family crying, she started to cry too.
It has not been easy for the two of them in the past few years. I don't know how many gossips have been talked about. Some people even think that there may be problems with the Shen family. Anyway, the young couple have heard some gossip.
Seeing that Yun Xuanxuan was crying again, the aunt quickly stretched out her hand and slapped the Shen family a few times. "You can't cry when you're pregnant. If you want to cry, get out and cry. Don't make my daughter-in-law cry with you. If you get pregnant, I won't break your leg."
Shen Jiayao also joined in, "That's right, there's nothing to cry about. It's a day of great joy, and my brother is really worthless."
Seeing their family's bustle and bustle, Mu Linting couldn't help feeling a little emotional. It's a good thing he's not the type to wallow in grief, or his past alone would drive him crazy.
Sensing that Mu Linting was in a low mood, Shen Chenyu led Mu Linting away from the big room, and then dragged him slowly up the mountain.
Mu Linting was a little strange and followed the other party, wondering where this person was going if he didn't go home? He followed Shen Chenyu for a long, long time, and then Shen Chenyu stopped in a place where there was no one.
"I used to be in a bad mood once, and I was very envious that other people were accompanied by their parents. My sister took me out to eat and drink. She said that when I was in a bad mood, I couldn't stay alone. Eat a popsicle or cold beer in the summer, and then drag someone to eat and drink together, so that no matter whether it is loneliness or sadness, it will disappear."
Shen Chenyu said this, and ordered one next to him Candles, and then began to keep digging things out.
"The current conditions do not allow it, so let's pay attention to it today. I'll show you a taste of my wine."
Soon, a cold bottle was handed over, and Mu Linting subconsciously reached out to catch it. After that, I only felt that the things in my hands were cold to the touch.
Shen Chenyu deliberately mentioned that world to him, not only because he wanted to find someone to tell his heart, but also because he wanted Mu Linting to open his heart.
In the future, they will be the closest lovers, so close that they can not only kiss, but even continue to have children. He didn't want Mu Linting to hold on to everything, in fact, he was not as soft as Mu Linting thought.
Coaxed by Shen Chenyu, Mu Linting tried to take a sip of beer, but he didn't know if it was ice or bath salts, so he coughed twice uncontrollably.
It's the hot weather now, and after taking such a sip of cold wine, it brought him an unprecedented strong stimulation.
Shen Chenyu has many, many secrets, and there is a strange place, which Mu Linting knew about a long time ago. He has never dared to ask Shen Chenyu about this, because he was afraid that Shen Chenyu would disappear suddenly after asking.
Seeing that Shen Chenyu mentioned it to him intentionally, Mu Linting was more moved than shocked. This person... really wanted to get along with him, otherwise Shen Chenyu wouldn't have to reveal the secret by herself.
Shen Chenyu drank the wine, blowing the mountain breeze, squinting his eyes and asked: "Is it good?"
Mu Linting drank half a bottle of beer, because of the cold beer and Shen Chenyu's confession, it made him feel like he was soaked in sweet wine Looks a little drunk.
Seeing his slightly flushed cheeks, Shen Chenyu suddenly wanted to kiss the current Mu Linting, he looked obedient and easy to bully, completely gone from his usual calm and mature appearance.
Shen Chenyu, who thought this way, did the same. Shen Chenyu approached and coaxed Mu Linting in a low voice: "There is another way to drink."
