Chapter 10: Draft
"This must be, I know that Old Uncle Shen will definitely understand, presumably Brother Chengtian's blessing is still to come."
"Alas! borrowed the words of the brocade girl, but although this thing didn't work out, you don't have to worry about it, you can do what you should do in the future, and just come and see me, an old man. ”
"Old Uncle Shen, what are you talking about, it's nothing, why don't we come to you! We've been out for a while today, so I won't delay your work, but we'll go back first. ”
After speaking, he had already stood up, and Shen Wangchun also followed closely, and moved the small bench back to its original position with a good eyesight. Old Shen Tou also sent it out, vacated the basket containing greens and radishes, and sent it over, Shen Erjin took it and replied:
"Then we'll go first."
As soon as he went out of the door, he met Shen Chengtian who had just come back from outside, Shen Chengtian was half a head taller than Wangchun, about 1.8 meters tall, and he looked very thoughtful, anyway, everything had to be compared, although he was not handsome and straight, but he was cleaner, and he compared all the people of the same age in the same village, and he showed a big smile when he saw the two from a distance.
"Did you just come out of my house? It's not time for me to rewind. ”
Although they are all from the same village, after all, Shen Chengtian is three years older than them, and in addition to being a man who is married, Shen Erjin just smiled and didn't make a sound, and stretched out his hand to pull Shen Wangchun behind him.
"Didn't Brother Chengtian leave early in the morning? Now it's back. ”
Shen Wangchun's performance this time was not bad, Shen Chengtian just looked at Shen Erjin with a smile when he heard it, and then looked at Shen Wangchun who was on the tip of his nose and said:
"I didn't leave, I just went back to deliver some food, and now I'm back if I'm fine, you guys are going back."
After speaking, he glanced at Shen Erjin behind him, with a faint happy look in his eyes.
"That's right! I'm going back now, so I won't bother Brother Chengtian. ”
As he spoke, he was about to take a step, not wanting to stop him again.
"Wait, I have some chestnuts that were fried in the morning, and they haven't moved yet, so I want to take them back and eat them."
Looking at the packet of oiled paper in his outstretched hand, Shen Wangchun felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and immediately shook his head.
"No need, Brother Chengtian can keep it for himself!"
As he spoke, he dragged Shen Erjin's arm and turned around and left, and walked to the grain field, looking at Shen Erjin staring at him with a smile all the time, and then opened his mouth a little sullenly:
"I actually want to use these chestnuts to calculate Sister Yun, I think it's beautiful."
This tone was different from the tone when he came, and Shen Erjin couldn't help but joke:
"I don't know who said it when I came, this Shen Chengtian is pretty good, how is it now? Repented? ”
Shen Wangchun guessed that she was going to mention this matter, and she had already prepared for it.
"I'm telling the truth, if it's someone else's daughter, forget it, our family, hum! Don't even think about it. ”
Shen Erjin shook his head and sighed in his heart, even if there was no Zhang Ningrui, this Shen Chengtian was afraid that it would be useless.
When I went to the grain field, I inevitably saw the bright yellow notice, and now there were no more people when I first came, and only a few children of six or seven years old were left laughing and playing, but ...... Bathed in the sun, the color looked a little bright, and Shen Erjin squinted.
"What are you looking at? It won't still be the emperor's list! ”
Shen Wangchun asked curiously, since this notice appeared, she is not normal, but their family has never had a show in the past generations, this notice has nothing to do with them, but seeing that she is so attentive, maybe it is her own illusion, and then Shen Erjin's voice came.
"I just think the color is a little harsh."
Hearing this, Shen Wangchun also took a closer look, and agreed with her words in his heart.
After returning to Shen's house for another day, the news that Shen Sibai's peach was going to enter Beijing for the draft spread, and many people went to his house, some watched the excitement, and they also wanted to sincerely bless them, but everyone had a thought in their hearts, that is, one day the peach and the young man could be appreciated by the emperor in the palace, and when the time came, the glory and wealth came, and they would follow the villagers.
"Some people can't go, and they are envious in their hearts, but your fourth uncle is afraid that he is so worried that he will die. But after thinking about it, even if Tao Yao really got the emperor's favor, it didn't necessarily mean that they would be allowed to come to the light, and it was too long-term. ”
At this time, the Shen family and Shen's mother sat in front of the stove picking up the full beans and talking, Shen Erjin sat on the side and played with the beans in the dustpan back and forth and said casually:
"Where can I get the emperor's favor, even if this kind of draft can stay in the palace, it is the life of a palace maid, probably not to enter the second gate, as long as I save my life in this life, it is good to survive until I leave the palace."
Hearing this, Shen's mother raised her eyes and looked at her a little stunned, maybe she was too immersed in her own thoughts, and she didn't notice it, until Shen Wangchun, who was sitting at the door leaning against the wall while basking in the sun and reciting a book, spoke.
"Listen to you and understand, then tell me why you can't get the emperor's eyes."
Shen Erjin didn't say anything when he heard it, until Shen's mother withdrew her eyes and continued the topic just now.
"I'm afraid no one knows the bitterness in your Uncle Sibai's heart, in the early years, when he won the show, his father and mother were happy, and they specially celebrated him for this, but although this good thing came, the second year was just in time for the emperor's draft, and it was like this year, all the people who have made a name for themselves have only unmarried daughters in the family, or unmarried sisters have to enter the palace to participate in the draft, how young Taoyao was at that time! Naturally, I won't go, until your fourth uncle's sister, Shen Sixian, has reached the age of marriage, and the family at that time! I'm really happy, I sent her out happily, and their mood is probably the same as that of the current villagers! Who knew that until now, the four immortals had no news at all, and even when the second elder of his family passed away, he couldn't expect to come back and take a look. Parents! The children who have worked hard to raise them are not just to be around well, as long as they can live this life well, it will be the greatest comfort to them. ”
Anyway, look at her seriously.
"What do you say?"
Shen Erjin was slightly stunned, and the last sentence seemed to be asking her, but she was a little confused, whether this was talking about the Shen family or her own family. I didn't get a reply for a long time, but Shen Wangchun, who was outside, couldn't help but speak:
"Mother is right, but didn't Erjin say it, if you reach the age of leaving the palace, you will come back, but until now, Uncle Sibai's sister has not come back, what is this for?"
For what? Eighty percent of them won't come back. Shen Erjin knew it in his heart, but he also knew that he couldn't say it.
