Shen Xi knew very well in his heart that there was no need to be angry with Shen Mingwen, they were originally people from two worlds. Shen Mingwen is a grasshopper after the autumn, and he will be able to jump in a few days, and after the annual examination, he will still be locked up in a small black house to continue studying until May and June, and then he will go to Fuzhou, the provincial capital, to participate in the township examination.

After Shen Mingwen returned to Fang Wenshu, Shen Yongzhuo was a little ashamed and said, "Seventh brother, you still wrote well." Brother Wei once read the sample essays of your house examination and college examination, which are much better than what I wrote. ”

Shen Yongzhuo's face is much thinner than his father's, he has read Shen Xi's articles and knows that it is difficult to beat a horse at his own level, but his father has to say that his article is better, which makes him embarrassed.

Shen Xi smiled and said, "The article made by the eldest brother is also very good, and I will definitely be able to pass this year's government exam." ”

Shen Yongzhuo sighed lightly: "I hope so." ”

When Shen Yongzhuo and Shen Xi took the government exam together, many people felt that Shen Yongzhuo was embarrassed and embarrassed, and he had studied more than Shen Xi for six or seven years, but the two brothers took the same question, but as the elder brother, they fell behind. Now Shen Xi's realm has long surpassed him, and even Shen Mingwen, the pillar of the Shen family, has to take the same exam as Shen Xi, which has invisibly dealt a serious blow to the status of the big house in the Shen family, even if Shen Mingwen is pedantic and cowardly, he still has a certain hostility towards Shen Xi.

Shen Xi is sincere help to Shen Yongzhuo, even if Shen Mingwen and the Wang family treat him badly, but Shen Yongzhuo is loyal and honest in the end, Shen Xi also hopes that this Shen family will have a future career.

In a blink of an eye, on the second day of the second month of February, there were only two days left before the annual examination, Shen Xi and Shen Yongzhuo were still reading together in the study, saying that they had discussed with each other if they didn't understand, but in fact, only Shen Yongzhuo asked Shen Xi.

Shen Yongzhuo is very happy to have such a younger brother as Shen Xi as a gentleman, since he returned from the entrance examination the year before last, he has never been to the school, and it is difficult to make progress with his qualifications by rote memorization.

But the Wang family is very proud outside, when the family gathers together for dinner, they always boast, look at my father-in-law, come over every day to tutor two little scholars, look at my son, and guide Shen Xi to prepare for the exam every day.

In the Wang family's different thoughts, they always feel that their husband and son are the best, and Shen Xizhong Xiucai is completely lucky, and she also wants to pass on this concept to everyone in the Shen family.

But the Shen family is not blindly obedient, especially the daughter-in-law of Shen Ming's second room, Qian, she has always been angry at the old lady's partiality towards the big house, coupled with the psychological distortion of her husband's absence, she didn't dare to collide with her sister-in-law before, but now she has nothing to do: "You are a man, aren't you the same as Qilang?" ”

When Wang heard this, he became angry: "How old is the little one?" Even if you are lucky enough to be a showman, can you compare it to my father-in-law? He didn't know how many grades he could take in this year's annual exam, don't take a sixth-class exam, just entered school, he brushed him down, and at that time, look at where our Shen family's face goes! ”

Annoyed, the Wang family didn't even call Xiao Qi or Qi Lang, and directly called Shen Xi by his nickname. This is said quite harshly and viciously, others hope that Shen Xi will continue to study and add glory to the Shen family, but the Wang family is imagining how Shen Xi will be "brushed down".

"Sister-in-law, my mother seems to have mentioned that even Xiao Qi can't scream indiscriminately, let alone Xiao Qi? Now Shichiro is a talented man, and he can't be called indiscriminately. ”

The fourth daughter-in-law, Feng, was eating and reminded kindly.

Among the five-room people, the people in the third and fourth rooms are relatively low-key, and among the two-person people in the four-room room, the Feng family is shrewd and virtuous, but even if the Shen family moves back to the county seat over the years, in order to take care of the ancestral property, she has to stay in Taohua Village with her husband. This time she came to the city to visit her son, who was studying, that is, Liulang Shen Yuan, and she didn't want to quarrel with the big room and the second room.

Wang was indignant: "What's the matter with calling him a little son?" During that time, didn't we all come out of nowhere? He's been a little boy for so long, and I call him that way now, because I love him. ”

Feng Shi smiled and thought to himself, "I really haven't heard of this kind of hurting people. ”

The Li family is not there, Shen Mingtang and Shen Mingjun are not there, a group of women and children around the dinner table is like going to the battlefield, and they will not give up without distinguishing the winner or loser.

In the past, the Qian family always threw away angrily, but I don't know when, the Qian family suddenly opened up, knowing that if she didn't fight anymore, she would have no status in the Shen family. Her husband's whereabouts are unknown, and she is not sure whether she is dead or alive, and she can't remarry, and even if Shen Mingyou is really dead, she is not ready to remarry, first, she has many children under her knees, which belongs to the "oil bottle", and more importantly, now that the Shen family eats well and dresses well, and there is no need to do heavy work, I gave birth to three sons to the Shen family, why should I go?

Qian was about to choke Wang's words, and next to her daughter, Shen Tingting, who is fifteen years old this year, said: "Mother, aunt, don't quarrel, the second brother and the third brother are going to marry daughters-in-law......"

Qian was about to blurt out the words, but he immediately swallowed them back.

As the children of the Shen family grow up, they are now facing a serious problem, that is, marrying a wife and marrying someone.

On the side of the big house, Shen Yongzhuo, the eldest man, has married Miss Lu and returned, and Shen Qian, the granddaughter of the Shen family, also married at the end of the first year, because her father is a student, and the eldest brother is a scholar and has passed the county examination, and the Shen family has a new talent, and the family is thriving.

And the border situation of the second room is not good, Erlang Shen Yongfu is nineteen, and Sanlang Shen Yongrui is also seventeen years old, but the daughter-in-law has not yet landed. It's not that no one wants to marry their daughter, but it's that the Shen family is a little "high or low" in the marriage of these two children and grandchildren.

The Shen family's family is now better, and the daughter who marries is not said to be fragrant and spicy, but at least she will not be offended, and the Shen family has many scholars, so it is easy to become an official in the future, so marrying into the Shen family can be regarded as flying on the branch as a phoenix.

But the problem is that Shen Yongfu and Shen Yongrui themselves are white ding, doing hard work, and even the man in charge of the second room has run away, and the Shen family cannot guarantee that they will not split up after the death of the old lady Li, so the big families don't look down on the Shen family's Erlang and Sanlang, and the Shen family doesn't look down on the daughters of those small families.

Shen Tingting's words immediately made Qian silent.

Because she still has a request for her son's daughter-in-law, the Li family also asked the Wang family of the big house to give Zhang Luo a look through her mother's side, after all, Miss Lu was also finalized by the Wang family's introduction.

At this time, Wang's momentum rose again, but Qian didn't talk, and it didn't mean anything for her to say it alone, and the dinner table suddenly fell silent.

The two people who like to stir up trouble don't speak, and the others pretend to be dumb.

After eating, the little ones left the table one after another, and Feng got up to go over to deliver food to Shen Yongzhuo and Shen Xi, who were studying in the study.

At this moment, Shen Mingjun and the Li family hurriedly came back from outside, it seemed that they had just gone out to do something important, and the mother and son had not yet discussed it: "...... Mother, are you really going to let Xiaolang marry Miss Banker? ”

When Wang and Qian heard this, they knew that the old lady was still not dead and married Shen Xi, and Qian was a little angry, her two sons had reached the age of marrying a daughter-in-law, and they didn't see the old lady so nervous to go to Zhang Luo in person.

I listened to the old lady and said: "Forget about those before, this Miss Zhuang, her father is a lifter, I heard that she is about to be transferred to Huguang Dangzhi County, she is the daughter of an official eunuch, she is only one year older than Xiaolang, and you have also seen the portrait, she looks handsome, it is better than marrying a wild girl of unknown origin." Besides, this is our Gao Pan, if Xiaolang has a future in the future, wouldn't it be good to have such a father-in-law to help him? ”

When the Li family entered the city to visit Shen Xi in the first year, because of Hui Niang's words, she temporarily dispelled the idea of marrying her little grandson.

But this time, I heard from the matchmaker that there was a big family surnamed Zhuang in the next county, not only did the family have a lifter, but the daughter happened to be the same age as Shen Xi, and wanted to set a family business, and the other party named and said that she wanted to marry Shen Xi, so the Li family couldn't sit still.

This is a great opportunity for Lee.

In her imagination, she would be satisfied if the children of the Shen family could be lifted, she did not have the luxury of expecting her son and little grandson to be promoted to the Jinshi, so she was quite satisfied with the marriage with the lifter, so that no matter whether Shen Mingwen or Shen Xi was promoted in the future, it would be helpful to their future.

Shen Mingjun didn't know what to say, in fact, in his opinion, his son did his duty, and Lin Dai liked it very much on weekdays, and he didn't ask for a high eunuch to let Shen Xi go to look up to people.

Wang stepped forward and deliberately mentioned: "Mother, don't always think about Qilang, aren't there still Shiro and Liulang at home?" Their marriage has not been settled. ”

Wang's words were obviously choking the Qian family who had quarreled with her just now, and she deliberately said Shilang and Liulang, because one is in the third room and the other is in the fourth room, that is, not to mention the three sons in the second room.

The old lady glanced at the Wang family: "The Zhuang family is an official eunuch family, except for Qilang, can they look down on other children of our family?" ”

Wang didn't dare to confront it head-on, but he still muttered in a low voice: "Isn't there still a big man?" Isn't Da Lang better than Xiao Zi in the future? ”

The old lady took Shen Mingjun into the main hall and said with a resolute face: "Qilang is preparing for the annual exam for the past two days, don't tell him yet." The banker's meaning, when Qilang finishes the annual exam, he will send his daughter over and let the two little ones meet each other......"

Wang couldn't help but interject again: "Marriage events have always been the words of the matchmaker at the behest of the parents, what do the children know?" ”

The old lady said: "We are Gao Pan Zhuang, people have this meaning, can I refuse?" Besides, Qilang is not a pockmarked cripple, and his appearance is also thoughtful, and he will be a man who stands up to the sky in the future, and he is afraid of coming out to meet people? ”

Wang muttered again: "The ...... of the sharp-beaked monkey's gills"

Shen Mingjun was a little anxious: "Mother, did you write a letter to discuss this matter with He'er?" ”

The old lady sighed: "Boss, sometimes you are too accustomed to your daughter-in-law, look at how much gossip she causes by showing up on weekdays?" Those ugly words outside are not about her, but about you! But you're good, you don't care at all, if this man can't be in the town, how can he come out and do things with peace of mind? Maybe when, her heart will be wild. ”

Shen Mingjun hesitated: "Mother, He'er is not that kind of person. ”

The old lady said, "Don't listen to your daughter-in-law for everything, she follows a widow to do business in partnership outside, and she learns to be shrewd and tactful, and you are too honest and easy to be deceived by her." Let's just talk about your sister and brother-in-law last time...... Alas, forget it, don't talk about it. ”

Shen Mingjun's face was flushed, and he wanted to defend his wife, but he didn't know where to start.

But looking back, his son's marriage seems to be more important, Zhou had confessed before he left, let Shen Xi return to Ninghua no matter what, two things can't be agreed, one is that Shen Xi can't stay in Ninghua County to study, and the other is Shen Xi's marriage.

Especially for marriage matters, the Zhou family has repeatedly stated that it must be decided by the husband and wife, and Shen Mingjun himself has no idea, in other words, the son's marriage should be decided by the Zhou family, and the Li family will not count anything!

But now that the old lady suddenly came out like this, Shen Mingjun was caught off guard, and he didn't know what to do for a while!
