Shen Xi wasn't too worried about what Su Tong said, he was in the pharmacy these days, even if the government exam was over, he still had to go back to the school to take classes, and those angry candidates were rude, and they didn't dare to go to the school where the sage books were taught to make trouble.

Because the final results of the government examination will be released the day after the exam, that is, on the second day of the fifth month, Shen Xi got a small vacation.

During this time, Shen Xi didn't have to go to the school to attend classes, because he passed the government exam in one fell swoop, Zhou was very happy, and specially allowed Lin Dai and Lu Xi'er to play with Shen Xi.

In the backyard of the pharmacy, Lu Xi'er's "giggle......" laughter was crisp and pleasant, and with Shen Xi here, she would always be like a child who couldn't grow up. In comparison, Lin Dai is much more dignified and stable.

is also because Lin Dai has begun to be sensible, she has not many choices for the future, as the child daughter-in-law of the Shen family, as long as Shen Xi is older, she should marry, so she began to gradually look for the feeling of being the daughter-in-law of the Shen family. But she always felt that she regarded Shen Xi as a relative more, and at her age, she couldn't distinguish between liking and love for the time being.

"Hey, are you going to study somewhere else after passing the school exam?" Shen Xi was sitting on the small bench, and was about to teach two little loli words, when Lin Dai suddenly raised her head and asked.

Shen Xi asked a little strangely: "After passing the government exam, why did you go to another place instead of going to Guozijian to study?" Even if you go back to take the college exam, you will only be away for a while. Little daughter-in-law, are you afraid that your husband will leave and you will be lonely? ”

Lin Dai frowned: "I'm serious with you." I heard Ning'er say that if you pass this exam, you won't be in the school, and you will go to a bigger school, but we don't have such a big school in Tingzhou...... I thought, you should be going a long way away. ”

Shen Xi thought for a moment, what Ning Er said should be the county school and the government school, or the national prison. But Ning'er is not a scholar, and she knows little about the imperial examination, and many of them are speculation. I didn't want Lin Dai to take Ning'er's words to heart, thinking that Shen Xi was going to travel far to study.

"Nothing." Shen Xi is very sure of the authenticity. "Hurry up and learn these words, I will take the exam in the afternoon, and I will answer incorrectly...... Spanking. ”

Lu Xi'er stared at her eyes widely: "Brother Shen Xi, have you passed the test?" Can you be like you, and go to the Xiucai exam in the future, the champion? ”

Shen Xi smiled and touched Lu Xi'er's head and said, "You can't be a showman and a champion, but Brother Shen Xi can give you the title of a showman and a champion, and send you a big award." Good no good? ”

Lu Xi'er cheered: "Okay, good." ”

Lin Dai was a little disdainful: "What an old girl, just like when she was a child, she knows that she is not ashamed to be coquettish in front of your brother Shen Xi." ”

Lu Xi'er is also a little clever, knowing that Lin Dai is not happy to see her, she simply didn't hear it, and continued to lean down and write calligraphy.

The two little girls have different characters, Lin Dai's handwriting is beautiful, and Lu Xi'er's handwriting is like a dog crawling, writing some complicated words. The strokes are basically shrunk together, like a black ink blot.

Shen Xi urged Lu Xi'er more than once and asked her to practice writing more, but Lu Xi'er read purely for fun, and at the same time, it was also to pester Shen Xi, so she didn't care what it looked like. Lin Dai knew that if she didn't write well, Zhou would not be satisfied with it, which might affect her status in the eyes of her future mother-in-law.

One is under pressure, the other has no psychological baggage, and the mentality of reading is completely different.

That's when it happened. Hui Niang came in from the pharmacy.

In the past two days, she has been bothering to integrate the forces in the city.

Since the government vigorously cleared the entrance of the "Dry Road Gang", those ruffians and hooligans in the city have lost their backers, and they themselves have no power. I wanted to take refuge in the "Waterway Gang", but because the people of the "Waterway Gang" have always been nosy, these ruffians have no restraint and cause trouble everywhere.

Shen Xi has already asked Song Xiaocheng to lead the manpower and set up a new gang, called the "Che Ma Gang". The main purpose of helping Hui Niang establish a chariot and horse behavior is to encircle these "rangers" in the city, and at the same time to incorporate the "Dry Road Gang" to help the people. In the past few days, Song Xiaocheng has made some achievements.

But this time, Hui Niang didn't mean to talk about the chariot and horse gang.

"Xiaolang, I have discussed with your mother, you will take the college exam next year, and for more than a year, we will invite a few gentlemen to come back to teach you separately, and don't go to the school in the future...... As for Mr. Feng, we will also ask him to come over from time to time to supervise your studies, what do you think? ”

Of course, Shen Xi felt bad.

He goes to school, it is a normal class, there is a break between classes, there are many students in class on weekdays, Mr. can't manage it, he is lazy and distracted. But if you invite your husband home, and ask a few gentlemen to keep an eye on him at a time, then he won't even have a chance to be lazy.

Shen Xi insisted: "Aunt, I think it's good to go to the school, I like to listen to the lessons taught by Mr. Feng, that's why my grades will improve so quickly, I am afraid I won't be able to accept it when others teach me." ”

"There is always a process of adaptation, Mr. Feng is a good gentleman, he can teach the master to lift people, you will definitely have a future in the future, but...... There are so many students in the school, and I can't ask Mr. Feng to teach you more. ”

Hui Niang was worried that Shen Xi would not be able to get the best education, but Shen Xi was afraid that he would be disciplined too strictly. He was mentally past the age of his life, and it was boring to let him sit down and read dead books.

"I really want to go to the school to study, aunt, you tell my mother, think it's me begging aunt for you." Shen Xi pleaded.

Hui Niang shook her head with a wry smile, turned around and went to the main hall of the pharmacy, probably to discuss this matter with the Zhou family.

At dinner in the evening, Zhou talked about this topic seriously: "...... You pass the house test, who knows what kind of luck you hit? In the past two days, the people who have come to catch the medicine have been gossiping, saying that the reason why you can pass is because the prefect has no heart to approve the papers, so he let the people below deal with it casually, and as a result, you were selected, not because you are really talented. ”

Shen Xi pouted and said, "Mother, if I can pass the county test and the government test in a row, then how lucky should I be?" ”

Zhou said coldly: "Han Wa'er, don't you know that everyone has luck? My mother heard that some people like you also passed the county and government exams at one time, but no matter how they take the test after that, they can't hold a pen or can't get into the show. That's because he's exhausted his qi. Mother just wants to find two more gentlemen to come back to teach you, anyway, our family is better now, and three or two gentlemen can still afford it. ”

Seeing that the Zhou family was so persistent, Shen Xi knew that it was useless for him to say anything more, so he had to look at Hui Niang for help. This time, even Hui Niang shook her head helplessly, as if to say, you were born to your mother, and she can only call the shots.

Zhou continued: "When the results of your government examination are announced tomorrow, my mother will ask your father to find you a husband, and you must ask the best gentleman in the city to teach you all the knowledge in their stomachs." In this way, the mother has hope. ”

Shen Xi said nothing with a bitter face. Thinking that he might be bombarded by two or three gentlemen in the coming year, and that he didn't even have time to eat and go to the toilet except for studying, he felt that his life was extremely gloomy.

On the morning of the second day of the fifth month, Shen Xi followed Shen Mingjun to the front of the yamen, the time was still early, Shen Xi asked the cheap dad to go back first, and he went to the teahouse with Su Tong to sit down and talk.

"Brother Shen, your complexion doesn't look very good, if you are a few years older, my brother will still think that you are a drunken injury, but you are so young, you shouldn't have too many troubles, right?"

Su Tong noticed that Shen Xi was listless, so he couldn't help asking.

Shen Xi sighed: "Brother Su is married and at ease, how can I know the suffering of a childish person like me?" I hope that my son will be Jackie Chan at home, and I am going to find three or five gentlemen who will take turns to teach me knowledge, and Brother Su thinks I will be happy? ”

Su informed the truth of the matter, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother, you don't know the blessing in the blessing, but you don't know that it is the strict discipline at home that makes the elder brother famous early." Brother should be grateful. ”

Shen Xi sighed, the truth is so, but the problem is that he is no longer the kind of child who is ignorant and has to be managed at home, and this kind of education method is not suitable for him at all.

Su Tong has a wide range of contacts, and even if none of the people who traveled with Su Tong passed this government exam, he still quickly made a group of new friends. These people are all candidates who have been admitted to this government examination, and they have taken pictures of each other. But they were respectful to Su Tong, but they had a "respectful and distant" attitude towards Shen Xi, even if Su Tong introduced, those individuals only bowed their hands politely, and they didn't even have a kind word.

"It's almost time, it's time for a long case...... Ladies and gentlemen, how about we walk together? Su Tong greeted warmly.

A tall and thin young gentleman among those scholars waved his hand: "No need, Brother Su, we got drunk after seeing the case, this Shen Gongzi is too young and inconvenient, if Brother Su is willing to come, we are welcome." ”

After saying that, the group left first.

Su Tong smiled reluctantly: "Brother Shen, don't mind, they probably think that you can't taste wine with them, so they will deliberately distance themselves." Oh, look at me, how can I say this to you, but I don't think about my brother, and when you are older, you will naturally understand many things. ”

Shen Xi smiled, but he was thinking in his heart, are you bullying me for not understanding Fenghua Xueyue? Or do you bully me for not understanding the world? He had already seen that these people would stay away from him because of rumors that Shen Xi had spent money to pass the test, and it was not that they couldn't "taste wine and discuss Fengyue" together.

Shen Xi didn't expose it, since Su Tong regarded him as a young man who could only be a scholar and didn't know how to read other people's faces, he also learned to play this role well.

When Su Tong walked out of the teahouse with him, the government had already sent a long case, because there were only fifty people to see the case, and all the names of everyone were clearly listed on it, and there was no need to look hard, and some people had already finished reading it.

"Hmph."

When a candidate saw Su Tong and Shen Xi together, he actually snorted coldly and expressed strong dissatisfaction.

Just when Shen Xi felt that something was not right, Wu Xingyu also walked over there. This handsome boy was very polite, and he gave a greeting gift before he smiled: "Shen Gongzi, congratulations." (To be continued.) )
