Compared with the local government, there are more students taking the examination in Beijing, and the competition is more intense.

Mao Chi had mentioned to Shen Rui before that he planned to return to his hometown at the end of next year and participate in the children's exam the year after next.

Shen Rui looked at the radish head in front of him and hesitated: "Even if the students are divided into classes according to their merits here, will the gentleman's teaching here be too superficial, and the world brother is not afraid of being delayed?" ”

Mao Chi smiled: "What is the difference between the hospital test and the township test? The same is true for the general examination and the township examination, and the exams are all four-book collection notes and current texts, but the examination places are different and the main examination is different...... Compared with other classes, the four books talked about here are more plain, and the problem solving of the current text is also just getting started, but when you wait until every ten days to give lectures, you can lecture in a large classroom, regardless of the class, you can go to audit......"

Shen Rui listened, silently, and inexplicably felt familiar, this is a public class......

On the canal, a certain ferry.

Seeing the second old man looking at him with an iron face, the second wife couldn't help but tremble, but then straightened her waist and pleaded: "Master, let the concubine go back to Beijing?" ”

The second master said with a cold face: "I told you a long time ago that I died of that mind." The fourth brother is the son of the third brother, are you making such a fuss to kill the third brother? ”

The second wife said with tears in her eyes: "Even if the master doesn't believe me, if the child is Brother Luo, it is also the master's own nephew...... It's the bloodline of Yiqingtang, I just want to go back to Beijing and see that kid more......"

The second master shook his head and said, "A nephew is a nephew, and my wife has that mind, so she cares more about the third brother." ”

The second wife's eyes flashed, and she hesitated for a moment and said: "At the beginning, the heir was cut off because of the bloodline of Yiqingtang, and now that the third uncle has a fourth brother, why can't he have a three-......room relationship like when Brother Luo was there?"

Before she finished speaking, the second master was already frowning: "What a big deal is the rise and fall?" Is there any reason for repeating it? Not to mention that the third brother has a son in this room, even if the eldest brother and sister-in-law add a son, there is no reason to act like this"

The second wife wanted to say more, but the second master was already impatient, stood up and said: "Such a mind is quickly extinguished, if you show a little bit in front of the third brother, the mother and son will be suspicious, then no one will turn around for you."

After the second wife woke up on the day she left Beijing, she kept clamoring to get off the boat.

In the past few days, otherwise the second master has always been stared at, and she would have gotten off the boat at the dock if she couldn't tell the truth.

The second master also said what he should have said, and persuaded what he should have persuaded, but the second wife still talked to herself.

In the past, the second master liked his wife's innocent temperament very much, and he only felt that his temperament was true and not fake, but now he can see it. The second wife's "naivety" will only be "naïve" according to her own thoughts, and this "naivety" is sometimes very cruel to others.

The second master ran out of patience with the second wife, but he didn't dare to let it go anymore, so he could only arrange for someone to stare at it fiercely.

Before, the second master was still looking forward to getting along with Shen Jue after leaving Beijing, and the second wife would get along with Shen Jue, after all, the little second room would rely on Shen Jue in the future. The third master is gone before the age of the sixtieth year, and among the three brothers, although his body is stronger than the eldest master and the third master, he does not think that he can live a long life.

Even if the second wife has many shortcomings, after being his wife for 30 years, he hopes that the second wife will have something to rely on. Previously in Beijing, the mother and son got along too politely, not like a family.

Now that the second wife has regretted her restep, even if she takes the initiative to come to Shen Jue's side, the second master is not at ease.

He only felt that he couldn't stay for a moment, so he strode out of the cabin, and said to the two servants standing outside the door: "It's good to train Mrs. Taro, if Mrs. is negligent again, it won't be a meal."

The old man next to the second wife has been sent by the Xu family before; This time out of Beijing, the second master sent the others to Zhuangzi, and no one was left. I just know that my wife's ears are soft, and I am afraid that I will be provoked to make trouble.

After leaving Beijing, the people who served by the second wife's side were all arranged by the second master. However, he was coaxed and frightened by the second wife, but he still relented and offered the second wife a bargain. If it weren't for the second master's arrangement, someone would have stared at the second wife's side, and he wouldn't have really let the second wife get off the boat.

The second old man was angry, so he directly asked someone to hit the board.

The two servants at the door trembled, and they both felt strange in their hearts.

Although I have heard all kinds of rumors of "spoiling concubines and destroying wives", the Shen family has a strict family education, and several masters respect the rules, and there is no time when there is no distinction between respect and inferiority.

Looking at the appearance of the second master under house arrest and the second wife, it doesn't look like a loving couple. But among the various people who accompany them, there is no aunt, what are these two people for?

The official ship they were on was a big ship, in addition to the second master and his wife, Shen Jue, Shen Qin, Shen Bao and others were also on this boat.

When he first left Beijing, Shen Jue was apprehensive and excited, but the boat calmed down after a few days.

This is still more than a month away from Songjiang, and it is too early to get excited.

Now that the autumn is cool, it is not the first time he has taken a boat, but he is much more comfortable than when he went to Beijing last year.

Thinking that Shen Rui, Shen Qin and others will all participate in the children's exam next year, only three years later, Shen Jue didn't dare to slack off, and consciously took the book to read.

It's just that reading books on the boat, in the end, Shen Jue often runs to the deck, sits on a bench and looks at the river view

On this day, Shen Qin and Shen Bao also found him on the deck.

Looking at his complacent appearance, Shen Qin said worriedly: "The second aunt is sick, these days, Brother Jue doesn't care about it like this, is it okay?" ”

Shen Jue gave up most of the stool, invited Shen Qin and Shen Bao to sit, and said, "I also want to go to 'serve the sick, didn't the master let me......"

Shen Qin hesitated for a moment and said, "The second aunt hasn't shown up, is she really sick?" It's a bit chaotic on the dock today, Second Uncle Zhou has always been good-tempered, and this time he also punished people......"

Shen Jue glanced at him and said, "I don't worry about this, Second Brother Qin also likes to worry about it......"

Shen Qin was angry, punched him and said, "You conscienceless guy, who am I worried about like this?" In the past, Uncle Cang was in charge of the house in Beijing, and the second uncle of Zhou was just polite and asked for peace here; When you go outside, you have to live under the second uncle of Zhou...... If you ignore it like this, how can you suffer a loss in the future? ”

Although Shen Jue has a hard mouth, he understands Shen Qin's love in his heart, and says with a smile: "Even if you go outside, the head of the family is also a master, not a wife, I know it in my heart, and Second Brother Qin can rest assured ......"

Shen Qin shook his head and said: "The male protagonist is outside, and the female protagonist is inside." Jingli is also Uncle Cang, who is a family member, but Ping Suri is not the one who presides over the housework? ”

Shen Jue thought for a while and said, "It's really not necessarily the wife who is in charge outside, none of the old people around the wife have been brought out, and the old man must have made arrangements there." ”

Shen Qin has lived in the Shen Mansion for more than half a year, and she has seen many decent maids and mothers-in-law in each room, but she didn't think about this before.

Listening to Shen Jue's words, his eyes widened, and he said, "That's really the case, those eldest sisters of the purple characters are actually a ...... who haven't seen them" Speaking of this, he said with a little curiosity: "What is the reason, can Brother Jue know here?" ”

Shen Jue hesitated: "I don't know." However, my wife began to 'sue for illness, ...... after the Chung Yeung Festival."

Shen Bao listened to this for a while, and when he saw that the two of them wanted to study this matter in detail, he felt that it was inappropriate, and said: "The elders act, where can I and other juniors speak?" Second Brother Qin and Brother Jue still changed words, don't continue to talk about this...

Shen Qin laughed twice and said, "What do you mean?" Second Uncle Yong and Brother Zhu Jiu left at the end of June, and it was time to go to Songjiang before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't know if ......the three rooms are separated or not."

Shen Jue pouted and said, "It's good, what do you do in that room, you don't have to lose your luck?" On the other side of Nanjing, the Dragon and Tiger List has been out for some days, and all the banquets have been eaten almost the same, is it time for the new people to set off for Beijing?

Shen Qin couldn't help but think of Shen Yan and Brother Shen, and for a while, he couldn't say that he hoped that Shen Yan would be on the list and enter Beijing as soon as possible; I still hope that Shen Yan will fall away from the capital.

The smile on Shen Bao's face was shallow, and the fist in his sleeve was clenched tightly.

His father is an old man, and he still goes to Beijing in every subject several times. Thinking of the disgust in Shen Liu's eyes every time he looked at him, Shen Bao let out a long breath, feeling that it was really good to go out of Beijing at this time.

Even if they meet on the canal, they just pass by, and they don't need to be photographed.

Nanjing, Qiao's house.

Master Qiao San looked at the new person in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

He is only a student of politics, not the main examiner of the township examination, but he has presided over the college examination. At the beginning of the year, he also went to Songjiang Prefecture. For the young students of Songjiang Mansion, he has long paid attention to it, just because Songjiang's surname is the Shen family, which is the home of his brother-in-law Shen Zhou.

In March, Shen Zhou went south to worship his ancestors, and also made a detour to Nanjing, where his brother-in-law and brother-in-law met.

The Shen family in Songjiang, for the magnates of the capital, is just a figure like a rich man in the countryside, but only a scholar and political official like Master Qiao San can see the background and extraordinaryness of the Shen family.

The old man's generation is not obvious, except for the second room in the capital, there are only a few people in the family, and there are no outstanding people; When it comes to the younger generation, it is amazing, and there are more than a dozen jinshi, lifters, and students.

Scholarly families, nothing more than that.

Thinking that the Qiao family has no successor, but the Shen family is full of reading seeds, the third master Qiao is very envious.

It's just that the scholar is Qinggao, and in the past two years, even the Shen family in the capital had little contact with his own family, and his in-laws naturally didn't take the initiative to get over.

Now it is different, the Shen family in the capital has passed from the Songjiang family to the heir, and the contacts have resumed, and the third master Qiao can also walk around the Shen family as an in-law.

The person he valued before was not Shen Yan in front of him, but Shen Jin, the "little Sanyuan" who had been in Hongzhi for ten years. Shen Jin has high reading qualifications and a pure temperament, and Master Qiao San has a daughter, who has reached the age of Jilu, and is not high or low in family affairs, and he has fallen in love with Shen Jin before, and he is waiting to choose a son-in-law after this year's township examination. I happily promised my brother-in-law to promote Shen Juren as a professor before, and it was also for this reason.

Unexpectedly, Shen Jin did not participate in this township test, and in addition to his brother's succession, his identity also changed from a registered son to the only son who supported the family.

Before the township test, Shen Juren had come to meet Master Qiao San with Shen Zhou's name post, and Master Qiao San did not have a good impression of him. Thinking about the rumors of the Shen family's four-room "spoiling concubines and killing wives" that I had heard before, Master Qiao San put out the idea of being in-laws with him.

On the contrary, it was Shen Yan, who was not even a student before, but now he is on the list in the township test, and Master Qiao San has a very good impression of him......
