Wang Erni's family of four all came over, and Hua Pozi looked at Shen Leshan with red eyes, and said excitedly: "Leshan, this kid is really promising, just like his father, good, good, good, Yun Niang and Shen Laosan can smile at Jiuquan this time." ā
"I said the child, mother, you shed tears every time you encounter a happy event, you should be happy. Leshan's kid was admitted to Xiucai, which was a great joy. As far as our village is concerned, so far, Leshan is the second person to be admitted to the show, and the first one is Shen Laosan. There is really a father who must have a son, Shen Laosan was so good at reading back then, and Leshan is naturally very good at reading. In the future, Leshan may be more promising than his father. ā
After Uncle Wang praised Shen Leshan, he did not forget to praise Shen Danyao and Shen Lechi.
"There are also two children, Dan Yao and Le Chi, who are also very good, I think ah, this Shen family is the ancestral grave is smoking, and the three children are so promising. It is estimated that everyone here will be happy if they only get one, not to mention three. ā
Uncle Wang was very grateful to Shen Danyao for coming up with that pankang method.
In this family, his daughter and mother-in-law are making more and more money day by day, and he and his son have a sense of loss that is getting stronger day by day.
Fortunately, Shen Danyao came up with the method of pankang, which allowed him and his son to make a living, although the money earned is still not as good as what his daughter earns, but compared to the past, it is already quite good.
Uncle Wang, no, in addition to coming to congratulate Shen Leshan on his talent, he also came to give Shen Danyao silver.
"Dan Yao, this is the silver that I, Da Zhuang, and your Uncle Yun earned in almost half a year, a total of five hundred and thirty-two taels, this silver was earned by your method, and it should be shared with you."
Although Dan Yao, the child, had a word first, there was no need to share her money.
But after earning so much silver, Uncle Wang, Uncle Yun and Da Zhuang are all a little unhappy.
As soon as the three of them discussed, they decided to give Shen Danyao a piece of silver.
No, Uncle Wang took two hundred taels of silver and handed it to Shen Danyao.
It's just that Shen Danyao pushed it away with a smile.
"Uncle Wang, if you do this, you will see the outside. As I said at the beginning, I didn't come up with this idea on my own, but I was lucky, and what I saw from the book was not my idea. Also, as long as Uncle Wang, Uncle Yun and Brother Da Zhuang make a kang for our family for free, all the money you earn will belong to you, but you can't count it as mine. ā
"Uncle Wang wants to divide my money now, do you want me to be a broken word? Also, my eldest brother and the second brother all regard Uncle Wang, Aunt Hua, Sister Erni and Brother Zhuang as relatives, but Uncle Wang and I are so clear, didn't I think that we would be three brothers and sisters-"
Before Shen Danyao could say the next words, she was cut off by Wang Erni.
"Dad, since Sister Dan Yao has said it a long time ago, there is no need to give her this silver. What are you doing outside, my mother and I don't see outside, every time I come to Sister Danyao, I don't count eating and drinking, and every time I go, I take a lot of things with me. ā
Hua Pozi got her daughter's reminder and hurriedly said, "That's right, yes, my daughter said yes." We and these three children are like relatives, doing so much to do outside. Quick, put it away. It's a good day for Leshan, don't spoil your interest because of this kind of thing. ā
Hua Pozi touched Uncle Wang's arm, and Uncle Wang could be regarded as reminiscing.
After this taste, he quickly put away the two hundred taels of silver.
It's just that he secretly thought in his heart that since this little girl doesn't want silver, then in other aspects, as long as he can help, he must help in the future.
Thinking about it like this, he also let go of this matter.
After this episode passed, the two families seemed to have forgotten such a thing, talking and laughing, talking about how to celebrate Shen Leshan, and talking about how many tables of banquets to be held, and how many people to invite over for dinner or something.
The two families talked harmoniously, and several other families who got the news at this time also came to the door.
Yun Wa and Uncle Yun came, and the village chief and Li Zheng also came.
Shen Danyao, Shen Leshan, Shen Lechi, the three brothers and sisters, and Yu Jingchen, who is a member of the family, entertained them without a trace.
During this period, Shen Danyao discussed a matter with Shen Leshan and others in a whisper, and in the end, the five people had no opinion, and Shen Danyao proposed it to the village chief and Li Zheng.
"Village Chief, Li Zheng, my eldest brother has taken the Xiucai exam, and the family is very happy about it. Our family decided that in addition to opening a banquet for my eldest brother this time, we also planned to renovate the Shen family ancestral hall. I heard that the Shen family ancestral hall has been in disrepair for a long time and is very dilapidated, so my family decided to invest 500 taels of silver to repair the Shen family ancestral hall. ā
The village chief and Li Zheng didn't expect that after Shen Leshan was admitted to Xiucai, the first thing he would do would be to repair the Shen family ancestral hall, which was a great good thing for the two old men.
The current situation of the Shen family ancestral hall, the two of them saw that it was indeed in urgent need of repair.
However, it costs a lot of silver for the villagers to pay for the repair of the ancestral hall, and each family will share it evenly.
It's an unbearable expense for a family like them.
The two of them thought about it, and in the end, they had to give up.
It's just that this matter has been shelved in the hearts of the two of them, but it has become a matter of mind.
Now that Shen Danyao proposed that their family should fund the repair and solve the problem of silver, then other aspects are not a problem.
The village chief and Li Zheng excitedly took a silver ticket of five hundred taels handed over by Shen Danyao, and the two old men had red eyes inexplicably.
After they congratulated Shen Leshan, they immediately left the Shen Mansion to deal with this matter.
Yu Jingchen looked at Shen Danyao's cunning gaze beside him, and immediately guessed her thoughts.
The life of their family is getting better and better, and it is very easy to attract attention.
Now that Shen Leshan has been admitted to Xiucai again, the future will only become more and more prosperous.
At this time, if their family doesn't do something that is beneficial to the whole village, they are afraid that some people will make a fuss about it.
Thinking about it, Yu Jingchen smiled.
"Little girl, if your eldest brother wins the exam next time, what will you do next?"
"Find a gentleman with good learning and character to fund the opening of a village school, so that children who cannot go to school because they have no money can have the opportunity to sit in the school and study."
Shen Danyao replied with a smile.
"Then what about your eldest brother who is admitted to the Jinshi again?" Yu Jingchen then asked.
"Build bridges and pave roads, and then take the villagers to make a fortune together." Shen Danyao had already planned something, so she didn't have to think about it at all when she answered.
When Yu Jingchen heard this, he suddenly asked: "In this case, why don't you build a bridge and pave the road first, and take the villagers to make a fortune together?" ā
In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but he wanted to know if Shen Danyao's idea was the answer in his heart.
And the answer given by Shen Danyao was reasonable, but it was unexpected by him.
"If you build bridges and pave roads first, and take the villagers to make a fortune together, they have the silver in their hands, will they care about the little silver that is spread out from repairing the ancestral hall?"
She really intends to do some good deeds, and of course, to accumulate some merit for her family.
But she didn't intend to be a virgin, she had to do good deeds, and she wanted to benefit others and herself.
