Chapter 8: Prayer

PS: Thank you for the recommendation votes, bow ~ The new book period is on the list, you need the recommendation votes in your hands, thank you~~

The eldest lady was not very happy when she saw the old lady, and her heart was also a little up, after all, this is, she can be regarded as making her own decisions, she explained, "I also know that Brother Lang entered Yuelu Academy to study, not by virtue of his true ability, a little embarrassed, but in the past, Brother Lang was very smart, as long as he entered the academy and studied seriously, it was valued by Mr., and it didn't matter how he entered the academy." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

"Besides, the second brother and sister sent a letter back from home, Brother Cong has been enrolled in Sihai Academy for more than a year, and Mr. De values it, and he personally wrote a letter of recommendation, recommending him to study in Yuelu Academy, Brother Lang is the grandson of the Shen family, but he is not as good as the concubine, isn't this a shame for the big house?"

The Shen family does not have only one room, but four rooms.

The big room, the third room and the fourth room are all out of the house, and the only room is the second room.

Compared with the other three rooms, the second room is the luckiest.

In ancient times, when parents died, they had to keep filial piety, but the filial piety of civil officials and military attaches was different, civil officials had to keep it for 27 months, but military attaches only had to keep it for 100 days.

It is Shen Jun who is filial piety at home, but the second master is an official.

Aside from the second master who is still out now, the other three rooms, the most unlucky is the third room, and the big room is ranked second.

The third master died six years ago, leaving only the third wife and a pair of children.

And the fourth room, the four masters finished their filial piety three months ago, and the official was reinstated, and now he is from the fourth rank of the right to the imperial history.

Because the old lady is still alive, they are not separated.

The third wife is widowed, and she usually worships the Buddha in the courtyard and rarely goes out.

The fourth wife likes to be quiet, in addition to asking for peace every day, she rarely shows up, especially if something happens to the big house now, she can't help, and it is not good for her to fall into the well, so she asks for peace every day and goes back to Beiyuan.

The most noisy is the second room.

Sending a letter back can also make the house restless.

The first to bear the brunt is Shen Langzhi, his cousin is younger than him, but he can read better than him, and he is also good at riding and shooting, other people's children can be compared, not to mention his cousin who grew up together since childhood? Is there still a time to live?

Especially the difference between the ancient descendants is like a chasm.

It is normal for Shen Langzhi to be a hundred times smarter than Shen Congzhi, and Shen Congzhi is twice as smart as Shen Langzhi, so it shouldn't be.

In particular, the Shen family's big house is still his only son-in-law, so it is even more important.

After receiving the letter from home, the old lady's first thought was to send Shen Langzhi to study in Yuelu Academy, and before returning from the second room.

But Yuelu Academy is not so easy to enter, if you are a third-grade official or above, you can send one person to study in the academy, and if others want to enter, they can only be admitted, and they can only learn by doing.

If the old lady is still alive and Shen Langzhi enters Yuelu Academy, then there is no problem, but he is unlucky, Yuelu Academy does not accept primary school students.

That is, teenagers under the age of fifteen are not accepted, unless you are a genius, you will make an exception, at that time Shen Langzhi was only fourteen years old, and he was not old enough.

When he was old enough, the old lady kicked her legs and hung up.

Shen Jun's official position was not enough, so he took the exam once, but when he encountered typhoid fever, he was dizzy and went to the exam, but the result can be imagined, and he was not admitted.

Then Shen Langzhi began to stumble, his former friends all entered the academy, he was blocked out of the academy, no one played, and the gap between them became wider and wider, people disdained to take him to play together, Shen Langzhi began to mix, if you don't take me to play, no one will play with me?

But at the age of fifteen, all the talented people go to school, and most of the people who like to play are unmotivated gangsters.

As soon as it was mixed, it became what it is now.

But the old lady dotes on Shen Langzhi, in her opinion, her grandson is good anywhere.

It's just that she buys qualifications to study in the academy, and the old lady is still a little resistant, especially when there are many maids in the house, and there are many people.

The eldest lady knew that the old lady loved face, she said, "Dafang is now a sister-in-law of Brother Lang, I have been married in, I have taken him as an eyeball pain, when I gave birth to Yao'er, I injured my body, so many years have been conditioning, it is not good, in the future, Brother Lang is the eldest girl's dependence, but also my and Yao'er's dependence, I look forward to him being good, besides, I also sent out the 20,000 taels of silver, Brother Lang'er does not go, I have no face to come back." ”

Spending 20,000 taels of silver to buy a place, the old lady had a pain in her head and some regrets.

On that day, the eldest lady told her that she had a way to send Shen Langzhi to Yuelu Academy, just to break the bank.

She didn't think much about it at the time, after all, looking for someone to do things, especially the qualifications to enter Yuelu Academy, which money can't buy, who doesn't want their juniors to enter the academy, study hard, and become famous in the future?

Few people are so shallow-eyed, so it's normal to give gifts.

But what she expected was no more than five thousand taels, the Shen family's big house is thin, but the other three rooms are not thin, so this money can't be taken by the public middle school, and this precedent has been set, and a bowl of water will be leveled in the future.

Liu's dowry was half in her hands and half in Shen Jun's.

The eldest lady didn't dare to talk to Shen Jun, so she came to discuss with her, she should go, I didn't know how much I wanted at the time, I took five thousand taels to her, and said that it was not enough to take it from the public first, and she would make up for it later.

Who would have thought that it would cost 20,000 taels!

Moreover, it is still a qualification to buy directly from Yuelu Academy, not through other channels.

Liu's dowry is rich, and the income of the shop is not bad, but it cost her more than half of her money to buy a qualification.

But the eldest lady was bent on Shen Lang's plan, and the old lady didn't blame her for anything, plus it was all decided, and she shouldn't say that it shouldn't, but she was shallow and reluctant to pay for it, especially the money was still a dowry left by the Liu family.

"Yuelu Academy has strict rules, if you are C-level in the three exams, you will be expelled from the academy, let Brother Lang do your best, but don't give me back in a few months," This is the real reason why the old lady is reluctant to give up 20,000 taels of silver.

She was afraid that 20,000 taels would be lost.

The eldest lady hurriedly responded, and said with a smile, "The academy has passed the word, and in two days, Brother Lang will be able to go to school." ”

Shen Yao stood aside and said with some concern, "Big brother's eyes are blue, and he may not be able to get better in two days, so he will go to Yuelu Academy to ...... with blue eyes." ”

Before she finished speaking, the eldest lady glared at Shen Yao, and Shen Yao obediently closed her mouth and didn't say anything that was disappointing.

The old lady said, "The students of Yuelu Academy love pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Ming'er wants to prepare more for Brother Lang, he has just entered the school, and it is good to use it to meet friends, 20,000 taels are spent, and I don't care about this star." ”

The eldest lady nodded and said, "The daughter-in-law knows." ”

Then, Shen Yao's eyes lit up and said, "Mother, the eldest brother has entered Yuelu Academy to study, should we go to worship Wenqu Xing first, and ask the eldest brother for a set of high-grade study four treasures to come back, my daughter heard that anyone who enters Yuelu Academy to study will go to worship." ”

The eldest lady listened, nodded and said, "It's time to go and worship." ”

Shen Yao cared so much about Shen Langzhi, and the old lady was also happy, but it was cold outside, and it was not suitable to go out, so she said, "It's still cold, let Brother Lang go by himself, he is crazy outside, and he is not afraid of the cold." ”

As soon as Shen Yao heard this, she sat down next to the old lady, took her arm and said, "Grandmother, I know you love us, but the eldest brother worships the eldest brother, let's go to worship, it's another thought, other people's homes, are all begged by the younger sister, I just hope that the eldest brother is good, in the future, he will be able to fight the stars, the title of the gold list, the glory of the ancestors, the eldest brother has to do so much, we help pray for blessings, and we are afraid of the cold when we ask for a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, how to say the past." ”

Shen Xiu and Shen Ke also nodded on the side, expressing their willingness to go with Shen Yao.

When they say so, can the old lady not agree?

Shen Yue was on the side, and pouted secretly, the old lady didn't see it, but she did, Shen Yao saw the old lady nodding, and threw a smug look at Shen Xiu, they could go out to play again.

Helping Shen Langzhi pray for blessings is fake, and taking the opportunity to go out to play is real.

However, she has been wearing it for more than two months, and she has only stepped out of the Agarwood Garden today, and she doesn't know what it's like outside, and now the opportunity is in front of her.

Shen Yue's heart was moved.

She stepped forward, looked at the old lady and said, "I also want to help the eldest brother pray for blessings." ”

As soon as she spoke, Shen Yao's face fell, looked at her coldly, and said, "I don't dare to take you out again." ”

Shen Yao put on an attitude, and Shen Xiu said, "Big sister, it's enough for the eldest brother to have a few of us to help pray for blessings." ”

"I know, but I still want to go, my eldest brother was punched for me today, how can I not say anything about such a big thing as his admission to Yuelu Academy to study, I know, I went out to cause trouble before, but I have changed," Shen Yue lowered his head and twisted his sleeves.

In this way, it can attract people's attention to her posture, this is her attitude of admitting her mistakes, it's all like this, isn't it enough?

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Shen Yue looked at the old lady, her eyes were slightly red, and she was a little cramped and uneasy.

The old lady relented, and was about to nod, Shen Yao said, "Miss Yao's matter has not been solved yet, in case I take you out and cause any new trouble, our Shen family really has no life." ”

Hearing this, the old lady's heart hardened again.

Shen Yue didn't give up, she knew that Shen Yao was reluctant to take her out, especially when she was still in the house before, she said that she was uneasy and kind to take her out, so she was even more unwilling, but she wanted to go out, do you need her to take her, is she okay with her feet!

Shen Yue looked at the old lady and said, "In addition to praying for the eldest brother, I also plan to pray for the eldest girl Yao, hoping that she will get better as soon as possible." ”

Now, you can't stop me.

Hearing that Shen Yue used Miss Yao as a raft, the eldest lady's eyes flashed, she seemed to have become much smarter, although she was still as low as always, she smiled and said, "You should go and pray for Miss Yao, but it is also a fact that you are in trouble, Yao'er will only go out after a few days, if Miss Yao's condition improves tomorrow, you will go together." ”

Now, it was Shen Yue's turn to have nothing to say.

She looked at the old lady with a blank look.

The old lady agreed with the eldest lady's words, and made a final decision, "That's it." ”
