Outsiders think that Anne is suffering by going to a small mountain village, but this is not the case.

Anne ordered someone to build a house not far from the Yuan family in advance, and the house was backed by mountains and water, and the environment was very pleasant.

Anne bought a few acres of land and recruited a few tenant farmers to help with the farming.

Every day, the tenant farmers brought fresh fruits, vegetables, meat and eggs, and there were people working in the yard, so Anne didn't have to do anything at all.

She is still the young grandmother who doesn't touch the spring water, but the place where she lives has become a more spacious mountain house.

Anne stared at the cook every day to make meals, and then carried the food box and went to Yuan's house to deliver meals three times a day.

Every time she passed, Anne would take Shen Ning with her.

Mr. Yuanxi is a real Confucian, he will not pedanticly think that "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented", seeing Shen Ning well-behaved, and pity her for losing her mother at a young age but still taking care of her younger brother, although he did not accept her to get started, but every time he saw her, he would guide her homework.

Knowing that Shen Ning was practicing big characters every day, Mr. Yuanxi also gave Shen Ning some calligraphy notes he wrote.

Mr. Yuanxi is very knowledgeable and well-informed, and when he talks, even ordinary gossip, he is full of insight.

Not to mention that Shen Xiong, a personal disciple, has benefited a lot, but Shen Ning, every day by delivering food to his younger brother, he said a few words to Mr. Yuanxi, and also learned a lot of truths.

Anne hired a girl from a family with a declining family background to be Shen Ning's husband with a high salary.

After a period of study, Shen Ning completely faded away from his former cowardice, cringe, and childishness.

She has become more and more confident, raising her hands and feet, and also revealing everyone's beautiful temperament.

The most important thing is that she is no longer a yellow-haired girl who doesn't know anything, but a talented girl who has a lot of words, and her brain is full of all kinds of knowledge and anecdotes.

In her body, there is a vague taste of "poetry and books in her belly".

Shen Xiong saw his sister's transformation with his own eyes, and he was happy and sad.

And why his sister can have such a change, Shen Xiong knows it very well.

All of this was brought by the stepmother!

Unconsciously, Shen Xiong's feelings for his stepmother became more and more complicated.

He told himself more than once in his heart that his stepmother was an enemy, and in her previous life, she killed her sister with her own hands and sold herself to the grassland as a slave.

But the stepmother in this life is the benefactor of him and his sister.

Whatever the purpose, the stepmother sheltered them, gave him the opportunity to apprentice, and hired a female gentleman for his sister...... Their siblings are where they are today, all thanks to their stepmother!

Shen Xiong felt that he should hate his stepmother, but he couldn't erase his stepmother's kindness to them!

Alas, what a dilemma!

In Shen Xiong's various entanglements, more than two years passed in a flash.

Shen Xiong has completed his enlightenment, and at the age of five, he began to read classics such as the Four Books and the Five Classics.

Shen Ning has the appearance of a little girl, and with Anne's careful feeding, the little girl is no longer thin and weak, and her hair is thin.

She is still not fat, but her face is a little baby fat, her skin is white and red, her hair is black and beautiful, and she looks like a well-raised Miss Jiao.

"Mother, do we really want to go back?"

Shen Ning was a little reluctant, she was used to life in a mountain village.

"Well, a few days ago, your father sent a letter saying that he had returned from the academy and would arrive in Fucheng in a few days. ”

Anne is also reluctant to live in the quiet life of the mountain village, but the reality does not allow them to continue to hide here.

Shen Zhong is back.

It's easy to understand, I'll try it in a few months.

To take the exam, you have to go to the capital.

Fucheng is more than 2,000 miles away from the capital, and it takes ten days and half a month to go there.

At that time, if the family conditions allowed, many people would enter Beijing in advance.

One is to avoid any accidents on the road and delay the test.

Second, I also went to prepare early, I arrived early, I could participate in the poetry meeting, make some noble friends, and if I could inquire about the gossip of the test, it would be even more beautiful.

The Shen family is from an average background, but they have the support of the Yan family.

The Yan family is also treacherous, although they decided to "choose Shen Xiong instead of Shen Xiong", but Shen Xiong is too young, and if he wants to become a leader, it will take more than ten years.

Heavy but imminent.

If the investment in Shenzhong is suddenly withdrawn at this time, it will not only offend Shen Jieyuan, but also make his previous investment go down the drain.

The Yan family is a qualified profiteer, and they will not do such a loss-making transaction.

At most, it was the Yan family who took advantage of that rumor to slightly reduce some of their investment in the Shen family.

One is to save money;

Second, it is also a warning to Shen Zheng - whether Yan is his positive fate or not, she is his original partner, no matter how good Yang's background is, she can't overshadow Yan!

In this regard, Shen Zheng can also understand it.

The clay figure still has three points of earthiness, the Yan family is good enough to speak, if it were a slightly temperamental person, knowing that the Yang family stepped on the Yan family's "correct name", and the Shen family connived, he would have turned his face with the Shen family a long time ago.

Shen is so heavy that he understands the yuan, and there are many merchants who come to take refuge, but they don't all count on the Yan family's bit of silver.

But the Yan family is his father-in-law in the end, and he used the Yan family to brush up the reputation of "a good man with deep love and righteousness", but it is not good to be too cold to the Yan family.

The Yan family cut their investment, and under their heavy understanding, they also helped match the Yan family and helped the Yan family facilitate several big deals.

The Yan family accepted it when they saw it, not only restored their past investment, but also secretly stuffed a lot of red envelopes to Shen Chong.

The Yan family did not give up Shen Chong, but continued to invest in Shen Xiong's side.

Not to mention anything else, Anne can live so comfortably in a mountain village, and she can have the money to buy a house and land, and ask her husband, all of which depend on the Yan family to pay.

This time, Shen Yu went to the capital to participate in the examination, and the Yan family was the first to jump out and say: If you enter Beijing in advance, the Yan family will be responsible for all expenses.

Shen generously accepted the money, and looked at the son in Yang's arms, white and clean, with bright eyes, and he looked like a smart and good child.

Alas, it's a pity that he occupies the word "Shu", obviously his blood is noble, but he was crushed by the child born by Shen Xiong's merchant girl.

Yang Se gave birth to a child, and instead of being haggard, he became more and more beautiful, like a ripe peach, which was extremely attractive.

She didn't say anything wronged to Shen Chong, she just hugged the child and cried sadly, crying so much that Shen Chong's heart was broken.

It just so happened that more than two years had passed since Shen Xiong's apprenticeship, and An took her children to live in seclusion in the mountain village, and there were no many rumors about her.

A peerless good stepmother or something, and no one discusses it anymore.

At this time, it is the best time to get started.

"What? Mother, he, he's going to take us into Beijing with him?"

When Shen Xiong heard the news, he was immediately a little worried, and hurriedly ran to ask Annie.

Anne smiled and nodded, "yes." Your father said that if there were no accidents, he should be able to win this subject. If you pass the exam, you will stay in the capital in the future. ”

"Not only our mother and son, but Aunt Yang's mother and son, as well as your grandfather and grandmother, are all going to enter Beijing. ”

"It's just that your grandfather and grandmother are old, and Shen Mo is too young, so they can't hurry, but we are three mothers and sons, and it is the most suitable to enter Beijing with your father......"

It's good to enter Beijing, if you don't enter Beijing, if you don't rush, how can Shen Chong have a chance to do it?

If he doesn't do it, how can Anne let him be ruined and never recover?!
