Shen Chengyao set off with his three sons and two daughters before dawn. Today's weather is unusually cold, almost ice, and it is a day when the snow melts.
When the four of them came to the gate of Juxian Academy, there were already horse-drawn carriages parked around, and people were standing everywhere.
Xiao'er's eyes were sharp, and she saw Shen Chengguang and Shen Jingwen, father and son, and there was an old man dressed as a master standing next to them. The old man was with Shen Jingwen
Saying something, Shen Jingwen stood up straight, lowered his head and listened respectfully.
This is the first time Xiao'er has seen the word respect from him.
"Dad, Uncle and Brother Lobby are there!" Xiao'er pulled Shen Chengyao's sleeve and gestured in their direction with her eyes.
Shen Chengyao looked over and found that it was really his eldest brother and eldest nephew, as well as his father-in-law.
A few people walked over, and Shen Chengguang also saw them. After a few people saw the ceremony, Shen Chengguang asked, "Why did you come here?"
A few days ago, the third family went to the upper room and said that they had opened a furniture shop in the county with the eldest brother of Liu's mother's family, and let the family go to the county for dinner. Of course, they also think that a small furniture shop may not close down when it will close, and they are too lazy to join in the fun.
At that time, the third child also mentioned by the way, after the New Year, he sent a few children to the school, even Fang Wenri sent them, and was repaired by Shen Zhuang's family, asking him not to send Fang Wenri to study, the third child let his mother scold him at that time, and he didn't say a word.
At that time, he was also worried that the third family would let him follow the path of his father-in-law and relieve some restraints. The three children study together, and it costs 30 taels a year for a bundle alone, and then the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are another expense, the books and miscellaneous expenses are also an expense, and the meals are another expense, and these things add up to at least 10 taels per person per year, and they also have to give gifts to the masters of the academy in each year's festival. Several festivals a year, so that each person is given down in this way, and it is not less than 10 taels per year, and it is thirty taels. Three children together need about 100 taels a year to study.
For a showman to come out, at least ten years, the talented start to enlighten at the age of five or six, and there are not many people who can show talent at the age of fifteen or sixteen! He doesn't think that these three people are more talented than his son, he thinks that Shen Chengyao is really brainless!
"I brought a few brothers here to take the exam. Shen Chengyao said with a smile, his son can also read and write, he was so happy that the smile on his face never disappeared all morning, no, he dreamed of laughing last night!
"Do you have any posts? The entrance exam of Juxian College requires a recommendation post. Otherwise, every eighth year of junior high school, what is the non-trivial, non-skilled, and unskilled people come to the exam, doesn't the master of Juxian Academy have to be busy to death?" Shen Jingwen was very unhappy in his heart, and it was the first time he said such a long thing to his cousin.
These illiterate cousins came to the exam with him, which was simply to save his face!
"The entrance exam of this Juxian Academy is very strict, and you can't get into it casually, you haven't been to the academy before to enlighten, right?" Master Lan asked with a frown.
"Third child, you hurry up and take a few children back, you don't have to lose everyone's face!" Shen Chengguang drove people directly!
The other students heard the commotion and watched, and some even began to whisper.
The smile on Shen Chengyao's face was gone, "I dare to come only if I have a post." Several of them had been studying with Zixuan for a long time, and Zixuan also said that they would definitely be able to pass the entrance examination of the academy. ”
In fact, Shen Zixuan also said that each of these three brothers is more talented than the other, and Fang Wenri and Shen Jingrui can never forget and understand each other. And Jing Hao is simply unforgettable, thorough, drawing inferences, and even learning from the past!
"It's just that after studying with a child for a few days, he dared to come to Juxian Academy for the exam, and he said that if he could pass, he would be able to pass?
Some people in the crowd laughed out loud when they heard this, some said that they were not self-sufficient, some said that their newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, and some said that they thought that if they knew a few words, they would be able to pass the exam, which was simply ridiculous......
Xiao'er recorded the performance of these people one by one, and if the three brothers had a chance to communicate in the future, they could also remind them that those people could have deep friendships.
At this time, the door of the academy opened, and two old men walked out.
The originally noisy crowd immediately calmed down.
"The entrance exams for the initiation class came to me to hand in the posts and get the signs, and then went to the house on the right hand side to take the exam. "Standing on the right hand side of the academy gate
The old man said.
Some of the younger children consciously lined up in front of the old man. The three brothers hurriedly stepped forward to line up.
"For the intermediate class, please come here to get the sign and hand in the post, and then go to the house on the left hand side to take the exam. This time, the test time is one hour, and the results will be seen two hours after the test. ”
Shen Chengyao watched the three brothers go in, and then took the hands of the two daughters and planned to go to the furniture store to wait for them to come out and go home together.
Although my eldest brother didn't like what he said just now, he had a place to settle down in the county, and when he met, he couldn't help but invite his eldest brother to sit down, right?
"Old man Lan, big brother, do you want to go back to the town now, or wait for Wen'er to come out and go back together? If you wait for Wen'er to come out and then come back, let's go to the backyard of my shop and sit down first." ”
Shen Chengguang thought about it and nodded, originally he planned to rent a room in the inn and wait for his son, but he also wanted to see how the shop opened by the third child and his uncle was doing.
Several people came to the furniture shop and saw Shen Chengyao stepping in, Shen Chengguang was still not sure that this was the shop of the third child, thinking that he had come in to see someone else's shop.
When he saw Liu Minhong coming out of it and greeting them, he clearly realized this fact!
The shop of the third family is much bigger than he imagined, bigger than his grocery store, and the furniture sold by the third shop is much more expensive than he imagined, he thought that it was only a few taels of silver or even a few hundred pieces of pine, fir furniture, but he didn't expect people to sell mahogany, rosewood, teak and other precious wood furniture and the set of leather sofas called the third family.
The whole shop looks high-end, luxurious and elegant!
The third family is a big deal!
A few people went to the tea room in the backyard, Shen Chengguang heard a guest asking the price, he looked back, and saw the person pointing to a leather bed and asking.
"This bed is made of whole cowhide, because cowhide is rare, so the price is relatively high, just this bed, it costs 1,000 taels. Liu Minhong's voice came into Shen Chengguang's ears, and he felt that he was hallucinating!
Xiao'er and Yun'er didn't follow into the tea room, they were foreign men who couldn't go to the backyard, so the two sisters went straight to the backyard to play with Liu Jingshu.
Xiao'er glanced at Shen Chengguang's expression, and was amused in her heart, her father would definitely be bombarded by someone!
And so it is.
As soon as Shen Chengyao entered the tea room, Shen Chengguang pulled Shen Chengyao and said angrily, "The third child, you are so capable! If you break up, you don't care about your brother! You will hide it from your family when you open such a shop!"
Shen Chengyao was very innocent, "Didn't I say that I opened a furniture shop with my eldest brother in the county? ”
On that day, he set up two tables in the county's Taste Xuan, and that day he greeted the guests who came to eat in the restaurant. If you don't come yourself, turn your heads and blame him for not saying anything.
Shen Chengyao felt that his eldest brother had his own mother's inheritance, and he began to be quite unreasonable! )
