Chapter 13: Intellectual Awakening

There is only one aunt left in the small building of Qingfeng, and most of the people are missing, which is inevitably a little deserted.

It was the fifteenth year, the second aunt An closed the door tightly, burned paper money in the room, the fire reflected on her young and beautiful face, but it was full of sadness, she sighed softly, "Others say you are, but sister, I understand you." There are so many concubines in Shen Jinshan, who doesn't come to our yard a few times in a few months, who wants to be widowed. But sister, I also want to live, and I can't intercede for you. You're stupid, too, and you don't look for a hidden place, so you have to be seen, and you kill people...... One life pays one life, and you can't complain about others. ”

Ahn understands Han and will not repeat the mistakes of the past. The only thing she found strange was those men who claimed to be relatives of Xiu'er. She remembered that when Mrs. Shen bought Xiu'er and sent it to her room, she asked Xiu'er some things, except for the uncle who gambled, where were the relatives who cared about her.

Moreover, those men found out about Xiu'er's affairs in just a few days, and also found out Han Afu's adultery, which is really weird.

She couldn't help but think about what Ah Fu said that day, could it be ...... Is Shen Laibao really smart? You have to think about it, Master Shen doesn't come to her house anymore, and it is unknown whether he can have another child, if Master Shen dies in front of her, then Shen Laibao is afraid that he will not keep her.

So either do everything you can and let Master Shen's heart return to her and fight for a son. Either to curry favor with Shen Laibao, he will not be driven away by him in the future. No matter how you think about it, the former is no longer possible.

When the paper money in the house is burned too much, there will be smoke lingering, which will not disperse in the house for a long time, like a dream.

&&&&&

Shen Laibao recently went to the yard to run two laps, that is, to recognize and practice words, and after a few days, even the dream was a bunch of words turned into a monster chasing him behind, chasing him out of breath and waking up several times.

In four days, he was emaciated.

After the recovery of the director, Hua Ling came to play with him, thinking that he was sick again.

Shen Laibao sat in the pavilion and practiced three more pieces of paper, and saw Hua Ling sitting there holding melon seeds and shaking her two calves peeling melon seeds, and asked, "Xiaohua, your foot injury is completely healed, right?" ”

"Okay, if it's not good, Mama won't let me out to play. But she still didn't think I was completely good, or she wouldn't have just let me play in the alley. ”

"Then why didn't you look for anyone else?"

"Brother Noble, you forgot, today is the day they go to the academy." Hua Ling put a few melon seeds in his hand, "Your favorite food." ”

She said the same thing when she sent the duck neck last time. Shen Laibao smiled, "Is everything my favorite food?" ”

Hua Ling shook her head, "No, your favorite foods are sauced duck neck, drunk crab, meat cakes, jujube paste cakes, melon seeds, goose legs, tea cakes, and ......."

Shen Laibao was surprised, "You even know everything?" No, how do you know? ”

Hua Ling lowered her head and muttered, "Because every time I eat these, you run out to grab them, shouting that this is your favorite food, and I will give it to you." ”

"......" Shen Laibao was all in despair, how many bastard things did this stupid boy do, and he could even grab such a good little girl as Hua Ling. He looked up at her, "Then why don't you hate it...... Hate me? ”

"Because you're going to get me something delicious every time." At the end of the flower, the bell said, "Although I grab it with my hand every time." ”

Shen Laibao said sincerely, "Xiaohua, I will never bully you again in the future." ”

Hua Ling nodded, and gave him a few melon seeds that she peeled, "I believe in you." ”

Shen Laibao thought for a while, "Xiaohua, you can read and write, right, then you can teach me to read and write, from the time you started to learn words." ”

Ever since he asked Ah Wu to teach himself to read, he had always felt that it had little effect. Later, when I thought about it, it was probably because Ah Wu himself didn't know many words, so he didn't teach scientifically. But if it is to learn from a child, and Hua Ling is so powerful, it is basically taught from children's books, which is more conducive to his literacy and learning.

Hua Ling responded, and Shen Laibao said again, "You teach me to practice calligraphy, and I teach you arithmetic." ”

"Brother Noble, I can do arithmetic too."

Shen Laibao smiled, "I'll teach you something simpler." ”

As soon as he heard that his stupid son said that he was going to the academy again, he was hugged by his son in the academy in public last year, crying profusely, and Master Shen, who lost his face, immediately refused.

Mrs. Shen, who acted as a lobbyist, said, "It's rare that Noble has this idea, and he has been reading and writing recently, so let him go to the academy and recognize a few more words." ”

Master Shen said bitterly, "Madam, didn't you see him hugging me and crying in front of everyone that day, as if I was his father's killer!" He paused for a moment and felt that his words were wrong, so he turned his head away, and then continued to scold, "I, Shen Jinshan, also have an identity and status in Mingzhou, and he doesn't want to embarrass me again." He wants to learn from me to find him a gentleman, and he can find a champion! ”

Mrs. Shen was shocked by what he said and yelled, and did not dare to say anything more. I feel ashamed of my son, who wants someone to knock on the door outside the door, and it is my son who calls. She didn't wait for anyone to open the door, she went by herself.

Shen Laibao bent slightly towards her, this was not his mother, but it was the mother of the original owner, Mrs. Shen's mind was too simple, too cowardly, in the end, a little pitiful. There are so many aunts, and she is still trembling because of her son, he can't bear it.

Thinking about it this way, it is not only Shen Laibao who needs to change, but also Mrs. Shen.

When Master Shen saw him come in, he looked thoughtful, and he was sure to pop out a stupid word later, and he didn't have a good breath, "What are you doing?" ”

Shen Laibao turned around and closed the door and said, "I want to go to the academy, go there to read and write, and make friends." ”

Old Man Shen snorted, "When you get to the gate, you will cry and shout that you won't go." ”

Master Shen's opinion of his son is really deep-rooted, like a hundred-year-old banyan tree, the roots of the tree are rooted in the ground, and it can be cut without a sharp blade. He said, "You don't believe in your son, I know, so even if I was beaten all over my body, you believe that I was the first to do it; So even if I'm young, you think I'm going to do dirty things to little girls in the grass. No matter how much I do, you have a preconceived idea that I am a jerk. ”

These words were said in an orderly manner, and there was a continuous blade in the words, which poked into Master Shen's heart. He looked at his son in amazement, and for some reason, the silly look on his face seemed to be gone.

Mrs. Shen was also stunned, she subconsciously grabbed his hand, "Noble, are you feeling unwell, are you sick?" ”

Shen Laibao glanced at her and shook his head, "I'm not sick, it's you who are sick, it's your heart that is sick." I'm fine now, I'm not stupid, but you don't believe it. It is true that you have been disappointed in me for ten years, but your son is showing signs of improvement, shouldn't you be happy? Or is it because you're afraid, afraid that one day I'll be confused again, and hopefully disappointed, and hit harder? ”

The son is not stupid, but the husband and wife are a little stupid. They looked at their son, whose face was flat and said that he had recovered to normal, and suddenly had mixed feelings, scared, excited, and panicked, "Noble ...... Noble? ”

Shen Laibao nodded, "Hmm." ”

Mrs. Shen suddenly burst into tears, startling him, and then she hugged him tightly, "My son! ”

Before Shen Laibao could catch his breath, Father Shen also hugged him and hissed, "My son! ”

One slap, two hugs, three hisses, Shen Laibao is really going to be scared silly!

&&&&&

Spring is bright, it is the season of peach blossoms, it seems that the flowers are about to bloom, and people's mood is also good.

The people of the Shen family found that the old lady was in good spirits recently, as if she had gone out to pick up gold. Occasionally, they don't punish them for doing something wrong, and they laugh and pat them on the shoulder and say it's okay.

It was so frightened that the subordinates thought they were going to be kicked out.

Master Shen originally wanted to put on a feast and tell the world that his son has become smart and is no longer a fool. But he was stopped by Shen Laibao, as long as he thought of the scene where he would definitely be placed on the stage by Daddy Shen to have fun with him, his "old face" turned red. So he asked Father Shen to do good deeds instead, and sent 300 catties of rice to the people. Who wants Master Shen to be happy, he waved his hand - go, send three days of rice.

Shen Laibao made a rough calculation, and it seemed that he had lost a thousand taels of gold in one sentence.

The Shen family is really a big family.

The more money he has in his family, the more pressure he has, but fortunately, he still has time to study.

Before he went to the academy, Master Shen specially invited the cave master of Moxiang Academy to come and see what class his son was suitable for.

Shen Laibao decided to be obscure, not to be sharp, and to perfectly hide his high education, high IQ and high morality, and try his best to pretend to be a primary school student. Whoever wants the cave master to come and open his mouth -

"Come, write two words and show me."

"......" don't play like this!

Shen Laibao, who was poked in the death hole, wrote a one, two, three to him in frustration, the cave master looked at it, his face turned dark, he shook his head and left, if it wasn't for Master Shen's good words, the cave master thanked him for his good deeds for three days, and Shen Laibao would really be obscured to the end.

In the end, the cave master promised to let Shen Laibao stay in the class of the appropriate age for two days, and if it was not suitable, he would be demoted to the small class.

Master Shen, who was quite confident in his son, agreed, which made Shen Laibao figure out one thing.

It's not that Master Shen doesn't love his son, but he doesn't dare to love him. Once it hurts to the bones, the son is repeatedly uncompetitive and hopeless, and will only be like Mrs. Shen, who is frightened all day long, and is terrified of everything he does.

Now that his son is not stupid, he hopes that it will not disappear, so Master Shen will give all his love, even if he pulls down his face to beg someone, he is willing.

That's it, he doesn't want to do this, so he should continue to practice calligraphy, after all, he will go to the academy tomorrow.

Before going to bed, Shen Laibao thought that the academy was a good place, but he still had a wish in his heart.

Don't touch bears, children, or children!
