The maid held a seat cushion in her hand, put it away first, but Miss Zhuang still didn't sit down, looked at Shen Xi and said, "Aren't you a showman?" You should be well-informed, why don't you get up and greet me? ”

Shen Xi blinked: "I don't know you, why should I greet you?" ”

"You ......"

The girl raised her eyebrows, sat down angrily, and shouted to the maid next to her, "Go make a pot of hot tea." ”

The maid said aggrievedly: "Miss, this is not home, there is no place to make tea." ”

The girl pouted and said, "Even you want to be angry with me, aren't you?" If you have to meet people in this kind of place, why can't you change to an inn? It's not going to be so cold...... You step down first, you don't need to serve here. ”

The maid took small steps to leave the pavilion, but she didn't dare to go too far, and stopped behind the rockery. Shen Xi glanced at it, and the little maid was poking her brain to peek here.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "Where is this a young lady from an ordinary official eunuch's family, it's just a little grandmother...... Her father had just been promoted to such a score, if her father became a high-ranking official, she would not have to tear down the sky? ”

After the girl sat down, she took out a small cloth bag from her arms, Shen Xi thought it was a sachet, but if she looked closely, it was a delicate hand warmer. In those days, the jacket had no pockets, and the hands had to be kept warm, either tucked up in the sleeves or filled with hot water in a sheepskin bag. The hand-warming bag in the girl's hand is fully decorated on the surface of the sheepskin bag, which looks very eye-catching.

"Hey, what are you looking at me for? Do I have flowers on my face? Seeing Shen Xi staring at her, the girl mistakenly thought that Shen Xi was looking at her face, and asked angrily.

Shen Xi directly turned his face to the side this time, put his hand into his clothes and scratched it: "Ouch, it's itchy on the back, it seems to have fleas." ”

The girl was startled, quickly stood up and took two steps back: "Where is it?" ”

Shen Xi spread his hands and said, "Is it strange that there are a few fleas on the children of ordinary villagers?" I still have a lot of mice in my house, Da Qiang, Er Qiang and Xiao Qiang......"

The girl hid farther away this time, and asked with a shrunken hand, "Who are the big strong and the second strong?" ”

Shen Xi pretended to be stupid, and counted with his fingers: "Da Qiang and Er Qiang are the rats of my family, Xiao Qiang is the cockroach of the family, and the four of us are good brothers, and we all have to sleep together at night." ”

The girl's eyes widened, and she looked at Shen Xi with the eyes of a monster: "You...... Are you disgusting, being brothers with rats and cockroaches? And you also raised the fleas on your body? ”

Shen Xi continued to talk nonsense: "That's not it, it's just that the house is too dirty, and I haven't taken a bath and washed clothes for two or three years, so it's normal to have a few fleas on my body." But this flea is very replenishing, and I caught it with my three brothers at night, and they relied on it to supplement their nutrition. ”

"To tell you the truth, when I went out today, my grandmother borrowed a clean dress for me to change into, but the underwear inside was not changed, and the flea may have escaped."

Just when Shen Xi racked his brains to disgust and scare this unruly girl, the little maid over there hurriedly ran over and asked breathlessly, "Miss, is there something wrong?" When she saw her young lady suddenly stand up, she thought she had some orders.

"You...... Go and find me a curtain, this man is disgusting. The girl looked disgusted and evasive at this time, and she didn't even dare to sit, but she didn't forget to have a problem with the little girl.

Shen Xi pouted: "It's really the temper of the eldest lady, where do you ask her to find a curtain for you?" Otherwise, you can go home with me, our house is big, you don't have to sit too close to me, and you can get to know Da Qiang and Er Qiang......"

The girl seemed to hear the most terrible thing in the world, and screamed: "Die, who said I want to go home with you?" Xiaoqing, let's go. ”

As she spoke, she was about to take the little maid away, but the little maid hurriedly stopped her: "Miss, no, the master said, you want to get along with Shen Gongzi here for a while, and you will get married in the future." ”

The girl insisted on leaving, but Shen Xi unexpectedly stopped in front of her, the girl quickly took two steps back, and asked tremblingly, "You, what are you going to do?" ”

Shen Xi smiled evilly: "Miss, don't be in a hurry to leave, we just chatted, you left like this, if people think that I am not well entertained or even abrupt and beautiful, then I will be wronged to death." ”

"You...... What do you want to do? ”

As she spoke, the girl retreated to the pavilion, and beyond that there was a pond.

Even the little maid stopped in front of the girl with open arms and shouted, "Don't be rude to my young lady. ”

Shen Xi shrugged his shoulders: "I'm just talking to her about it, whether I don't like your young lady, or your young lady doesn't like me, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my grandmother when I go back." ”

"Bah, with your virtue, who is rare of you. Xiaoqing, let's go, I don't want to say more to this kind of person when he kills him, and let me marry him? Phew...... Dirty and disgusting......"

After saying that, she didn't stop walking, didn't even care about the hand-warming bag falling on the stone table, and fled in a hurry with the little maid.

Shen Xi took the hand-warming bag in his hand, and it was indeed quite exquisite, it seemed that it was carefully made by a craftsman, and it was a good thing that money could not buy in a small place like Tingzhou. Shen Xi remembered that Lin Dai usually yelled and had cold hands, so he just took it back and gave it to Lin Dai as a gift.

……

……

When I got home, someone from the banker's side had come, and I heard that it was the housekeeper of the banker's housekeeper, and he was explaining that Shen Xi and Miss Banker's meeting seemed to have caused some small misunderstandings, but the banker's side respected the meaning of his own lady, saying that this family matter was "reconsidering", in fact, he was not satisfied with Shen Xi.

In Li's life, the most important thing is face, the dealer has already said that she is not satisfied with her grandson, and she doesn't want to ask what the reason is, she still disdains to do this kind of face-slapping thing.

Shen Xi fully grasped the old lady's strong psychology, as long as he could scare Miss Zhuang away, then his conspiracy would be considered successful.

When the others left, the Li family was angry, and the Wang family gloated: "It seems that the dealer thinks that our family Qilang is not noble, and even his daughter is willing not to marry." ”

Li said angrily: "Shut up! ”

The Wang family was obediently silent, but she still glanced at Shen Xi, and her face looked very proud, because she felt that her son had married a good daughter-in-law, and she had forgotten about the Lu family's delay in the marriage.

Shen Mingjun persuaded: "Mother, if you dissipate your anger, maybe we really can't afford to climb others." ”

Li Shi said coldly: "What is there that can't be climbed? Even if his surname Zhuang is a big family again, does he have a son and nephew who is eleven-year-old and talented? If my Shichiro wins the lift, he won't be able to climb up to us! ”

Qian followed and fanned the flames: "If you raise people in Qilang, don't you allow people to be jinshi......

"Bastard, is this all what you elders should say? Grow up with other people's ambition to extinguish your prestige, old man, don't take Xiaolang back to the city, leave him behind, and lock him up in the backyard to read for a few months! ”

Li was furious, and actually made a decision that made Shen Xi feel extremely uncomfortable after hearing it.

Is this to let him follow in the footsteps of Shen Mingwen?

Wang smiled: "Mother, even if you lock Qilang in the backyard for ten years, he won't be able to pass the exam, so why embarrass him?" Uh-huh, I mean, Shichiro is still young, isn't it too much to ask of him like that? ”

Shen Xi never thought Wang's words were good, but this sentence alone felt that he was saying a human word. Yes, I'm so young, you put me in a small dark room in the backyard to study, if I am allowed to face Shen Mingwen's bitter gourd face all day long, I might as well hit the wall and reincarnate!

Shen Mingjun also hurriedly said good things for Shen Xi: "Mother, don't be angry, Xiaolang's husband has said that his future is limitless, but he can't be pressed too hard, there will always be progress in the future." You're holding him up like this, me and He'er...... Will miss him. ”

Wang said again: "You couple can't see their son, so you think? I, who am a wife, and my husband is by my side but I am a widow, who do I tell you about this grievance? ”

Li was originally angry, she would not let Shen Xi go to the backyard to study at a young age, even if she wanted Shen Xi to come back, she planned to let Shen Xi study under her supervision like Shen Yongzhuo. Li waved his hand: "That's it, his dealer refuses to marry, we are not high, in the future, Qilang has the ability, even if the dealer begs to marry his daughter, he will not think about it!" ”

The matter that Shen Xi was worried about was finally resolved satisfactorily under the old lady's words.

……

……

The sixth day of February is the day when the results of the annual examination are announced.

Because Shen Mingwen has been locked up in a small black house to study, the matter of going to see the list falls on Shen Xi and Shen Yongzhuo. Shen Yongzhuo is looking at the results on behalf of his father, and when Shen Xi left, he had already seen the old lady wiping the ring ruler, which meant obviously, if Shen Mingwen and him did not do well in the exam this time, he would definitely be served by the family law after he went.

Shen Mingwen accepted the family law not once or twice, but Shen Xi had not tasted the pain of being spanked and beaten by the ring ruler and bleeding, fortunately, it was the first time for him to take the annual exam, as long as he took the top three classes, it was reasonable, and Shen Mingwen, as a student, as long as he was not ranked first-class, he could not escape this ring ruler.

Shen Yongzhuo once again took Shen Xi to the Confucianism Department as the eldest brother, and he was still envious of Shen Xi on the way: "If I can also be a talent showman, I can go to the township examination like the seventh brother and my father...... How nice that would be......"

Shen Xi didn't know how to comfort Shen Yongzhuo.

Shen Yongzhuo's qualifications are mediocre, but he is not without the opportunity to go to school, but unfortunately Shen Yongzhuo's talent has been exhausted by the deformed education methods of the Li family and the Wang family. Such people always live in the shadow of their grandmothers and parents, and cannot even think on their own, let alone be rigorous in their studies.

When I arrived at the Confucian Education Department, there were many students who came to see the results, and before the list was released, a bunch of people gathered together to discuss, and most of the content was about the exam questions of this annual examination.

"It's out, it's out."

When everyone saw the Confucian Education Department coming out, they all gathered around, only to see that the professor was holding a piece of paper with many names written on it, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what kind of candidate this is?" ”

"This is a fourth-class exam, and there are no candidates below the fifth grade in this annual examination."

The sentient beings breathed a sigh of relief, although the fourth-class exam will mean that the green shirt will be changed to a blue shirt, but it is good to keep the reputation of Xiucai, and there is no need to be disciplined.

The edict announced the list of several people in the fourth rank, and since the people on the list had basically expected it in advance, there was not much reaction.

Shen Xi was secretly glad in his heart, fortunately, there was no me on it.

After the edict finished announcing the fourth-class list, he went in and took out the list of second- and third-class candidates and posted them.

The second class and the third class seem to be the difference between the first class, but in fact, they are all passing grades in the annual examination, but after the students fall in these two classes, the family will be out of food, and others are listed in the two classes, neither rising nor falling, and there are also qualifications to participate in the township examination, which belongs to the decent results.

"Look, am I up there?"

Shen Xi asked Shen Yongzhuo to help check it, because most of them were on this list, and it was really difficult to find themselves out of a large number of names.
