Shen Xi said that he didn't know Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng, but he didn't lie, he really didn't know this great writer who made a generation of legendary novels "Golden Vase Plum" in history, and even who this person is, there are many controversies in history. But now the Lanling Xiaoxiao who appeared in the Tingzhou Mansion was really himself.

Hui Niang frowned and said, "Xiaolang, since you don't know him, why do you want to write a book under his name?" ”

Shen Xi was speechless.

Seeing Shen Xi's embarrassment, Hui Niang couldn't help but laugh and ridicule: "Don't be this Lanling smile, it's yourself at all, right?" ”

Shen Xi hurriedly waved his hand: "Auntie, you are also exalting me too much, where do I have the ability to write poems that even the Xie family's sister likes?" Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng does exist, but he has never known anything about his life. I'm a little kid, I can't write out that Ben can't hang my own name, right? I had to use this sage to take the name! As for the poem, it should have been written by him...... Sister Xie, how could I lie to you? ”

Shen Xi found it difficult for him to lie about this matter, and blamed him for getting used to the name "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng".

Shen Xi often has unreasonable words on weekdays, and Hui Niang has long been accustomed to it, so she didn't ask any more, but Xie Yun'er paid more attention to Shen Xi's words and deeds on weekdays in the future.

On this night, it was rare for a large family to get together, and according to the old rules, it was still Shen Xi who told the story to the big guys.

Shen Xi is talking about "The Romance of the Gods" this time, starting from Nuwa's incense to open the book, Nezha making trouble in the sea, Jiang Ziya going down the mountain, King Wen's visit to Xian and other stories are very exciting, everyone listens to it with relish, only Xie Yun'er is absent-minded, she seems to have been thinking about the identity of Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng, before she felt that this person was far away from her, but after knowing that the name of this person was printed by the printing workshop, she faintly looked forward to it, as if she could see this person at any time.

This jasper peach plum girl is completely a poetry fan and has a heartfelt reverence for the poet. In the poem "Peach Blossom Temple", it depicts a state of free and easy selflessness. made Xie Yun'er leisurely fascinated. Xie Yun'er regarded such a person as an idol, purely to find spiritual sustenance and forget the hardships she had suffered in her life.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather gradually became colder.

Winter came unusually early this year. Shen Xi had long changed into heavy clothes, and even after returning from school, he couldn't go out to play because of the strong wind, so the special class for the two little loli was moved from the courtyard to the back room.

The township examination will end in mid-August, and the papers of the Fujian township examination will be transferred to Nanjing for approval. It takes almost two months for the list to be released, and Xiucai who goes to the provincial urban and rural trials usually returns to their hometowns to wait for news.

At the end of August, Shen Mingjun suddenly received a letter from Ninghua, saying that Shen Mingwen and Shen Mingyou, two brothers, had written a letter to their family before the township examination, and there was no news since.

Shen Mingjun was very anxious, in the end, it was his eldest brother and second brother, the number of times he had been to the provincial capital was extremely limited, six years ago and three years ago, the township test was accompanied by Shen Mingwen Shen Mingwen, Li felt that there would be no problem this time, who knew that something happened after the township test.

Ninghua was in a mess. After all, the only thing that accompanied the old lady in Ninghua County was the honest third Shen Mingtang, and the old lady had no idea in her heart, so she had to call back Shen Mingxin, the fourth child who stayed in Taohua Village, and Shen Mingjun, the fifth child who worked in Fucheng, to discuss countermeasures.

But in Zhou's opinion, the old lady will let Shen Mingjun go to the provincial capital, not to mention the dangers on the road, at least she will not see her husband for at least a month or two.

“…… The eldest uncle and the second uncle were established early, and they have their own sense of proportion. It would be useless for Xianggong to go back like this, so it was better to write to his mother and ask her to find someone to go to the provincial capital to find out about the situation. As for the money, it's a big deal for us to pay for it. ”

Zhou didn't want to let Shen Mingjun go back to Ninghua this time, she always felt that her husband was controlled too much by her mother-in-law, as long as Li had something to say. Shen Mingjun will do it no matter what, this is a typical old lady who does not want a daughter-in-law, even if the Zhou family is obedient to her husband, she will mind in her heart.

"Now the ground in Fujian is not very peaceful, if something happens to the eldest brother and the second brother......"

Shen Mingjun's attitude was very resolute, he took care of the entire Shen family...... It was still the idea that he was instilled with "Shen Jiarong and I am honored" since he was a child. thinks that he has to do his best to do everything in the Shen family.

Zhou was annoyed in her heart, and she couldn't lose her temper with her husband, so she turned around and went out to the pharmacy. Shen Xi saw that the old lady was angry, and she could understand in her heart, which wife wants her husband to stay away for a long time and never return? What's more, now Shen Mingwen and Shen Mingyou are just a few days late and haven't gone back, so they are regarded by the old lady as a major event, and they don't even mind Shen Mingwen's emotional separation before.

Shen Xi walked into the house and saw that Shen Mingjun was packing up his baggage and preparing to return to his hometown, and sighed: "Dad, do you really want to go back to Ninghua to see your grandmother?" ”

"Xiaolang, your uncle is the hope of our whole family, if something happens to him, our Shen family will be ruined. Don't worry, as soon as there is news of your uncle, I will come back immediately. ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, he is really a responsible man, but unfortunately the old lady and the daughter-in-law can't have both, if he marries a daughter-in-law in the future, it may be difficult to choose between the Zhou family and his wife. Originally, Shen Xi wanted to persuade Shen Mingjun to say two words, but he stopped talking, Shen Mingjun was filial to his mother, which was understandable.

This may be the sorrow of being a man!

Early in the morning of the first day of September, Shen Mingjun packed his bags and prepared to leave, even if Zhou was angry yesterday and slept with Hui Niang for one night, he still reluctantly came over to see Shen Mingjun off in the morning.

Zhou took Shen Xi to send Shen Mingjun to the direction of the North City Gate, and before he could walk out of the two streets, he met an unkempt man.

The family of three was about to avoid it, but the man suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Shen Mingjun and greeted him loudly: "Boss, I can be regarded as finding you." ”

These words startled Shen Mingjun and his wife, and after looking at them, Shen Mingjun exclaimed: "Big brother? ”

Shen Xi carefully identified it, no, it was none other than Uncle Shen Mingwen! And he was alone, and he didn't see his second uncle, Shen Ming, walking with him.

Zhou was a little crying and laughing, he was going to send his husband back to Ninghua, but now that he has found it, it means that his husband doesn't have to leave, but Shen Mingwen's coming to Fucheng is actually not a good thing.

Changting County, where Tingzhou is located, is located in the south of Ninghua County and belongs to two different water systems. There is no need to pass by Changting County from the provincial capital Fuzhou to Ninghua County, which shows that Shen Mingwen did not pass by at all, but made a special trip to find Shen Mingjun.

Shen Mingjun and his wife hurriedly took Shen Mingwen back, first let Shen Mingwen wash his hair and take a bath, and then find clothes for him to change into.

"Big brother, why did you come to Fucheng? You don't know how anxious my mother is these days, so I'll find someone to write to my mother. Tell her old man to be safe. Shen Mingjun was about to go out, but was pulled by Shen Mingwen.

Shen Mingwen's voice was deep: "Fifth brother, don't tell your mother, I'm ...... This time, I want to stay in Fucheng and don't leave. ”

Say this. Shen Mingjun and his wife glanced at each other, and they both saw the embarrassed look on each other's faces.

Shen Mingwen and the old lady have had conflicts for many years this year, which makes the Shen family feel like they are falling apart, and the old lady transfers all her hatred for her eldest son to her other sons and daughters-in-law. It can be said that the relationship between Zhou and the old lady is not harmonious, mainly because Shen Mingwen "caused trouble".

Shen Mingwen wants to stay in Fucheng now, and wants to hide it from the old lady, there is no impermeable wall in this world, if the old lady knows, she will definitely think that Shen Mingjun and his wife are Shen Mingwen's accomplices who ran away from home, the old lady dotes on her eldest son very deeply, and she may only hate the "accomplice" when she looks back, and she is extrajudicial to Shen Mingwen, the "initiator".

Zhou was a little embarrassed: "Uncle He, you just finished the exam." The list hasn't been sent yet, why don't you go back and report peace to your mother, and think of coming to Fucheng? ”

"Alas!"

Shen Mingwen sighed, "I didn't do well in the exam, and I was afraid that I would be punished by my mother when I went back, and I would be locked up in the attic in the countryside." The second brother ran away with the silver, and I had nowhere to go, so I had to come to Fucheng to join you. ”

Originally, Shen Mingjun and his wife didn't know where Shen Mingyou went, but when they heard Shen Mingwen say this, they knew that the eldest and second were also unreliable.

Shen Mingwen touched his stomach. Then he said, "I have been sleeping in the open during this time, and I went into the city yesterday and couldn't find you. You can only deal with it overnight at the corner of the street. There can be ...... Food? ”

Zhou couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he still nodded and went to the kitchen to take out some leftovers from last night.

Shen Mingwen devoured and ate before he looked up at Zhou: "Is there anything else?" ”

"I can only do it now, big brother wait first."

Zhou didn't care about going to the pharmacy to open the door, anyway, she told Hui Niang yesterday that she would send Shen Mingjun today. There will be Xie Yun'er and Xiaoyu to deal with.

When Zhou went to the kitchen, Shen Mingwen looked at Shen Mingjun apologetically and said, "Fifth brother, I want to learn to do business with you, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Shen Mingjun was flustered and couldn't answer. In the past, he felt that working and doing business were very lowly things, and he hoped that his eldest brother could become an official and take him out of the sea of suffering, but now, the eldest brother actually wants to "be willing to fall" and follow him in business, which completely subverts Shen Mingjun's outlook on life and values.

"If the fifth brother doesn't agree, then forget it, I don't know if you can settle me in the city, and don't tell my mother, it's better to take your sister-in-law over, I'll ...... I'm not going back. ”

Shen Xi has been following behind, and when he got home, he was watching from the side. He thought to himself, this uncle is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, he wants to get out of the old lady's control, and he also wants to live a life without work. In the past year or so, he has been staying in a guest house in Ninghua, how much money has he spent on the family? Now taking advantage of the provincial city to take the exam, the old skills are repeated and the set of running away from home again. You just want to leave, and you still want to take your wife and children with you, why are there so many good things?

If he is willing to support himself, it's okay, come and say "I want to do business", he is a scholar, he doesn't even know the value of firewood, rice, oil and salt, he has the ability to do business?

When he arrived in Fucheng, he could only be a parasite and let Shen Mingjun and his wife raise him.

Shen Xi thought that when he couldn't even eat enough wild vegetables in the countryside, Shen Mingwen's wife Wang came to the house to borrow money not long after, and Zhou reluctantly lent the money every time in order to let him study, and in the end, the Wang family chose to study among the third generation of children in the Shen family, and still ignored Shen Xi mercilessly.

Shen Xi felt very unwilling.

Shen Mingwen and his family are very selfish, and their world is only their own. Shen Xi decided that even if his father and mother stayed in Fucheng by Shen Mingwen and did not inform the Li family, he would find a way to find someone to tell the old lady that the only one in this world who could suppress Shen Mingwen was the Li family.
