Chapter 355 Turning the face is like turning a book
Shen Mingwen was stunned when he heard this, is this still the old lady who saved a penny for him to eat and drink, and raised him as if he were an ancestor?
Shen Mingwen immediately knelt on the ground, hugged Li's leg and said, "Mother, I'm your son." ”
Li kicked Shen Mingwen away again: "I don't have a rebel like you, I can't do learning and learning, I can't do farm work and I have no power to restrain chickens, and I hurt your second brother, what use do you want?" In the future, you can do whatever you like, even if you run away from home! I don't want to leave you alone yet! ”
Shen Mingwen was completely panicked now, he used to struggle hard to get out of the old lady's clutches, because he had a basis, he was the only scholar in the family, and everyone had to follow him to support him, even if he ran away from home, there were good things at home that would still be kept and waited for him. Now that the Li family really doesn't care about him, he has no source of livelihood, and second, he has no life skills, what can he do when he leaves this family?
Li no longer paid attention to Shen Mingwen, touched Shen Xi's head, full of pity: "Qilang, go, go in and talk to your grandmother, you took the township exam, and your grandmother wants to know how you got in." ”
Shen Mingjun suddenly interjected: "Mother, the newspaper said that the good news from the provincial capital has gone to Ninghua, can you bring it over so that it can be hung in the hall?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou hurriedly pulled her husband's clothes.
This is obviously not the occasion!
In the old lady's heart, Ninghua is home there, and the main hall over there is the place where the glorious lintel is worth showing.
Fortunately, the old lady was in a good mood, just glanced at Shen Mingjun, didn't say much, and pulled Shen Xi into the back hall, and the old man wanted to listen to Shen Xi talk about the process of his own examination.
This Shen Mingwen is unwilling, I have been studying hard for the rise of the Shen family for decades, and I have been locked up by you to study for the past six years, and now it's good, if you are a kid, you won't remember me?
"Mother. You can't be eccentric! Shen Mingwen was still kneeling there, but he had already begun to shout.
Zhou came over and said: "Uncle said this, the concubine doesn't like to listen to it, what is the mother's partiality?" Mother did all this. Isn't it all for this family? ”
Shen Mingwen glared at the Zhou family angrily and shouted, "Boss, you don't care about your daughter-in-law?" Is she trying to confront me? ”
Shen Mingjun said: "Big brother, lady, let's talk well." Don't hurt the peace. ”
At this time, Shen Mingtang was also a little anxious, and hurriedly came over to persuade him, only the fourth Shen Mingxin was next to him, just like watching the excitement, this matter obviously had nothing to do with him, and he had no reason to come out and speak.
If you want to say that the old lady is eccentric, everyone in the family knows that the old lady used to maintain the big house, but the big house people didn't mix it up, but asked the seven lang of the house to test the fame that the old lady was looking forward to. At this point, Dafang doesn't know how to self-reflect. Instead, blame the old lady for being eccentric.
Others can say the same, but the people in your big house are not qualified!
Forget who is the family tired and tired for all these years? You always make some farces about running away from home, or even splitting up your family, to put it bluntly, you don't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness!
In the evening, the Shen family re-arranged the banquet, this time it was a serious family banquet, except for the Shen family, there was no outsider, the cooking was done by the Zhou family, Xie Yun'er and Lin Dai, and the old lady sat at the main table with Shilang Shen Yun in her arms. As for Shen Yi'er, she was temporarily sent to Hui Niang's side and handed over to the nurse to take care of.
Shen Mingxin and Shen Mingtang both had a banquet, but Shen Mingwen was temporarily kicked out of the house by the old lady, so he could only go back to the courtyard where he lived at this time. Reflect behind closed doors.
The wine and food were served one by one, not as rich as the wine shop, but since it was a family banquet, I didn't expect the dishes to be good, I wanted a festive atmosphere of family reunion.
The old lady was quite excited, drank two glasses rarely, and poured a glass of wine for Shen Xi. originally wanted Shen Xi to accompany her to drink, but her sons thought it was inappropriate, so the old lady gave up.
"It's a festive picture, thirteen years old is not young, and I can marry in two years...... Why didn't his daughter-in-law see it? ”
The old lady was happy, and wanted to say that Shen Xi would be able to marry a daughter-in-law in two years, but after a while, she realized that Shen Xi had already married one, and she had visited the cave and had a room.
Shen Mingjun said: "His daughter-in-law is helping in the kitchen, mother, in fact, Xiaolang is only twelve years old." ”
The old lady corrected: "Male baby, it should be said that you are a virtual age, and you can only do great things when you are older." Do you think that if he is asked by the Shangguan, how old are you, and he says that I am thirteen, can that be compared to twelve years old? At the age of thirteen, he is an adult, he can be a scholar and an official! ”
One sentence made the atmosphere at the dinner table a little dignified, and now that Shen Xi had just been promoted, the old lady wanted Shen Xi to come out to be an official, which was too hasty.
Shen Mingjun hurriedly said: "Mother, the child asked Mr. Feng, he said that with Xiaolang's age, he should accumulate more knowledge and take the examination is the right way. ”
When the old lady heard this, her brows suddenly wrinkled: "The ancestor manifests the spirit, let Qilang take the exam, that is the blessing of the ancestors, don't be delusional to have that spring and autumn dream, take the Jinshi examination?" Even the Shen family's grandfather didn't win, can he do it as a child? ”
"Since he has passed the examination, he should settle down, wait for the court to release officials, where there is a vacancy, he can either start from the magistrate first, become the magistrate of a few more places, accumulate official reputation, or be able to make a general judgment in the future, and it is best to be a fellow acquaintance, then the Shen family will be completely prosperous!"
Shen Mingxin objected at this time: "Mother, Qilang was promoted at the age of thirteen, and his future is limitless...... But this side has cut off his way to being admitted to the Shi, is it not good? ”
The old lady said angrily: "It's not that he won't be allowed to take the test, but we have to do what we can, we can be as big an official as we are, what do you think Jinshi is?" How many people can we in Fujian a year? ”
Shen Mingjun hurriedly fought for his son: "Mother, Xiaolang is Xie Yuan, he is the first place in this Fujian Township Examination!" ”
The old lady was repeatedly confronted by several sons, and she was also annoyed, regardless of whether her words were justified or not, and shouted angrily: "If you win the promotion, you can become an official, why do you have to take the Jinshi exam?" Even if you are lucky enough to get into the jinshi, you can be a bigger official at most, but what if you don't win? Others will laugh at us, and we can't help ourselves to reach the sky in one step, our Shen family can't afford to lose that person. ”
Because her voice was too loud, Shen Yun couldn't stand the fright, and she was already crying, no matter how much the old lady coaxed her. As a result, as soon as Zhou heard the sound, he took the little guy into his arms and coaxed him a little, and Shen Yun hugged the old lady's neck with a look of attachment, which made Li even more ashamed.
My grandson. It's not close to me at all, seeing me is like seeing a ghost, maybe you, the mother, will count me down in front of the children, and describe me as an old witch.
Li slapped the table with a "snap". Said angrily: "Don't eat, third, send Weiniang to the inn, Weiniang doesn't want to live here today!" ”
Just now, the third Shen Mingtang was stupid and didn't speak, and at this time, the Li family regarded Shen Mingtang as "their own person". Let Shen Mingtang take her to the inn.
But what an honest person Shen Mingtang is, after entering the city, he rarely even goes out, how do you know where there is an inn in Fucheng?
Besides, even if he knew, all the silver on his body was lost by Shen Mingwen, how could he live in the store?
"Mother, you dissipate your anger, we just make some suggestions." Shen Mingxin came over to persuade, "What we mean, in fact, Qilang is still young, and even if he has to wait for the release of officials, he may have to wait for a few years." Why don't you take advantage of the fact that he is taking the Jinshi exam twice, anyway, he is young, even if he doesn't win, others won't say that we are delusional, right? ”
Shen Mingxin can speak in the end, and saying this is equivalent to finding the old lady under the stairs.
The old lady was also angry just now, it was originally a festive family banquet, because her son was arguing with her, she was so angry that she didn't even have the most basic manners.
The old lady exclaimed angrily, "Let's go back and talk about it." But the man sat there, not going to go any further. Shen Mingjun hurriedly apologized, and the old lady's face improved a little.
The wine and food are all together, Zhou's, Xie Yun'er and Lin Dai are not qualified to serve at the table, they will eat in the back hall. The atmosphere of the family banquet was a little heavy. Shen Xi regarded himself as an outsider at this time. But he also knew very well in his heart that even if he said two wrong words now, the old lady would not blame him, who called him a great hero of the Shen family?
At the beginning of the family banquet, the old lady was angry with her sons, so she kept putting vegetables in Shen Xi's bowl. He said while clipping: "Qilang, eat more, eat more so that you can grow up earlier, and when you grow up, you can become an official, and your grandmother is waiting to enjoy happiness with you." ”
Shen Xi smiled: "Okay, grandmother." ”
Others are willing to treat him as a child, and he doesn't want to pretend to be old, he knows that even if he is lifted, in the old lady's heart, he is still not as good as Shen Mingwen.
First, he is young and doesn't know when he will be an official, and Shen Jiaxing is still far away; Second, Shen Mingwen is the flesh and blood of the old lady, Shen Mingwen is in the middle, the widow takes her son, the son has a chance, there is a chastity archway, and her son is an official, she can be a minister to glorify the township.
Towards the end of the family banquet, the old lady said again: "Qilang, I have time to go back to Peach Blossom Village with my grandmother, the villagers are thinking about you." ”
Shen Xi responded with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart, this is to take me back to the village to have a good time in front of the villagers, right? After all, wealth does not return to the hometown, just like a night walk in brocade clothes!
After the family banquet, Shen Mingxin wanted to go to the courtyard where Shen Mingwen lived with Shen Mingtang to sleep, while the Li family stayed on the Shen family's side.
Seeing Xie Yun'er come out to help Zhou's pack up her things, the old lady's eyes kept falling on Xie Yun'er's stomach, and muttered, "Why aren't you pregnant?" ”
Zhou smiled: "Mother, you forgot, Han Wa'er had sex with her daughter-in-law for a day before she left, where was there such a coincidence?" ”
Li frowned and said, "What day, isn't it a few days since I came back from the township test?" Do they sleep separately on weekdays? ”
Zhou Shi found that he had leaked his mouth, and hurriedly remedied: "No, Han Wa'er has only been back for a few days, even if there is...... You didn't see it so quickly, did you? ”
Li Shi was a little relieved at this time, and took the dishes in Xie Yun'er's hand: "Then don't pestle here, wash up and go into the room quickly, now Qilang has been lifted, I haven't insulted you, add an heir earlier, then it is called really starting a family, and at that time Qilang is not far from becoming an official." ”
Xie Yun'er didn't mention how embarrassing it was in her heart, she slept together for a few days when Shen Xi first came back, and then Zhou asked people to clean up the room in the backyard and let Xie Yun'er move over, thinking of how embarrassing the scene was when the old lady supervised her and Shen Xi's round house, and her face was still a little hot.
Li said: "Qilang, why don't you take your daughter-in-law into the room?" ”
Shen Xi thought about it, anyway, the old lady also thought that the union of that day was real, and at this time, she had to play the whole play, so she couldn't help but take Xie Yun'er's hand and said, "Lady, let's go into the room." ”
"Hmm."
Xie Yun'er replied softly.
Just as she was about to go with Shen Xi, the old lady suddenly said: "We are not rural villagers, if we want to have the same room, we must be regular, bathe first, and the child born in this way is also innocent!" ”
