Chapter 104: The Happy Year (3)

The black flying rabbit walks, suddenly into winter, the weather is about to come up, the north wind is raging all day long, and it is terrifying.

Chen Yun was far-sighted, prepared for the weather changes, and added a layer to the windows of each courtyard and household in advance, which finally won some people's hearts.

Chen's shoulders have been resting for a long time, hearing and witnessing it every day, seeing Chen Yun busy in and out, competent and happy, not only makes Shen's mother and himself very relieved, but also the subordinates have their duties and responsibilities, even Mrs. Wu, who has always been picky, has not come to her to talk recently, and she is more happy to be idle.

On this day, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking in the room, and Chen wanted Shen Fu to be away from home for a long time, so he couldn't help but care: "Fu'er can say when will he go home?" ”

"I just came to the letter yesterday, saying that I came back before Laba!" Chen Yun replied while respectfully handing Chen a cup of tea.

Chen took it and sighed: "Fu'er still has a good head, but the master can't say for sure!" I heard Deng Shanbao return and said that the master had just received an errand, and these days, he was busy doing things everywhere, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come home until the end of the year at the earliest! ”

Chen Yun was really happy when she heard the news, and thought: "Whenever the lord is at home, the husband is always timid, and now the lord returns home later, this is a great thing, at least the husband can be carefree for a while!" ”

Seeing that she was thoughtful, Chen mistakenly thought that she was thinking about her husband, so he only asked: "As soon as winter comes, the days will pass quickly, can the winter affairs in the house be handled?" ”

Chen Yun came back to her senses and said busily: "I just arranged it, but I don't have an idea about the rest of the year's sacrifice, I want to ask my wife to show it!" ”

Chen said solemnly: "I don't have any side requirements, just to advise you, it's best to do it according to previous years, after all, it is in the next year, several masters are present, in case there is a leak, the loss of face is small, once it makes them unhappy, it is a big deal!" ”

Chen Yun nodded in response.

Suddenly out of the main hall, I saw that the north wind was ruthless, whirring and blowing down a dead leaf, and as soon as the soles of my feet stepped on it, they immediately made a creaking sound. Chen Yun walked a few steps absentmindedly, only listening to a few whines in the air, and couldn't help but raise his head curiously, but saw that the humanoid geese had just flown in the air that was far away, and he couldn't help but gaze at it, and his thoughts drifted into the distance.

Far away, out of reach, with rolling hills and hills, a carriage runs lonely on the galloping road.

Shen Fu got into the carriage home, so excited that he stayed awake all night, and when he saw the Jiangning realm, he squinted his eyes comfortably.

Pingshun stayed by the side, until the night ended, then he carefully poked Shen Fu's arm and asked, "Master, shall we go back to the house first or go to greet the master first?" ”

Shen Fuman opened his eyes unhappily and said, "Let's go to the Weaving Mansion to say hello to my father first, otherwise, I will be reprimanded again!" ”

Ping Shun nodded yes, and hurriedly lifted the curtain and told the handlebar the trip.

After another two hours, the carriage finally arrived at Shufu, and Shen Fu jumped out of the carriage easily, and handed the name card to Menzi very naturally. Menzi had some impressions of Shen Fu, but he didn't embarrass him, but sent him into the mansion in a kind voice.

On the other side, the night is deep, the lonely moon hangs high, and the north wind is one

Blowing for a while, slowly beating the green plants in the courtyard into singles.

Jing Rui held the pen in his hand, pushed the door, and stepped into the room, only to see Shen Jiafu standing behind the bookcase, holding a pen in one hand, holding the edge of the size with the other, and was making landscape paintings with great interest. ”

"Lord Shu guards the weaving mansion, his power is limited, and he is just showing silk and satin every year, and he can't make any big tricks!" Shen Jiafu said while pressing the painting with a paperweight, "It's not as powerful as those feudal officials who govern one side, gold, silver, jewelry, coral, rare treasures, I don't know how many, they are sent to the palace in cars!" ”

"This is also a common practice, before the New Year's Festival, what the provinces and provinces are rich in, they will send to the palace. The villain remembers that it was the year before last, the governor of Shanxi gave 100 pieces of Xuanhu skin, sea dragon skin, otter skin, Tianma skin, and Wuyun leopard skin, and the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu gave 1,000 pieces of purple Tibetan incense, 1,000 branches of yellow Tibetan incense, two boxes of Xi'an noodles, 40 volumes of purple noodles, and 1,600 Ningxia sheepskins. ”

Jing Rui saw that Shen Jiafu was silent, so he deliberately paused for a moment, and then continued with a calm face: "At the end of the New Year last year, the governor of Anhui congratulated ten ingots of Hui ink, ten ends of Hui inkstone, ten boxes of Zhu ingots, and ten stacks of rice paper, while the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, the governor of Jiangxi, and the governor of Henan only paid tribute to local specialties, and the saint did not anger them because of this!" ”

"These places are poor and remote, there is not much oil and water to fish, coupled with the continuous natural disasters, self-sufficiency is not enough, what else can be used to honor the saints?" Shen Jiafu said without raising his head, and suddenly changed his words again, and said: "This year, the weaving mansion does not produce much, if you pay more tribute at once, I am afraid that it will be difficult next year." What's more, the palace also released news that when the spring begins, the saint prepares for a southern tour, passing through Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Jiangning on the way. I estimate that there are a lot of first-class officials with him, and there should be many high-quality Beijing officials, and at that time, Lord Shu, as a local official, will inevitably have to go up and down, which is another big expense, and we have to be careful with it! ”

Jing Rui listened to this, and his heart also beat a drum. After pondering and meditating for a while, he raised his eyelids covered with fish patterns, and said: "The annual tribute is not better than the festival tribute, which can be handled simply, according to the villain's humble opinion, this year, as usual, he also sent all kinds of two eight silk satin robes, four five silk satin robes, as for the silk gown material, it was reduced from the original eight hundred pieces to four hundred, although it is not as rich as last year, but the total output is there, the saint is wise and decided, and he should not deliberately make things difficult for us!" ”

Shen Jiafu was very relieved to hear that he had already made up his mind, but Shen Jiafu also had his own concerns, and couldn't help asking: "You can't just focus on Suzhou, have you inquired about how much tribute the two weaving mansions in Jiangning and Hangzhou are going to give this year?" ”

Jingrui didn't seem to expect this, so he was stunned in front of him, and said, "This, the villain has never been."

I have inquired, but judging from the number of tributes from the two weaving houses in Jiangning and Hangzhou last year, the villain estimates that they should also be reduced this year! ”

"In this case, pay tribute according to the list you originally proposed!" Shen Jiafu breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered another matter, and couldn't help but get nervous, and said, "I almost forgot, have you prepared the New Year's gift that Lord Shu gave to the Governor of Liangjiang and the Governor of Jiangsu?" ”

Jingrui blurted out: "It's ready early!" ”

Shen Jiafu saw that everything was in order, and couldn't help but feel at ease, so he took a cup of maple dew tea nearby, took a few sips, and was about to continue to discuss other matters with Jingrui, when he suddenly saw the maid come in and said, "Master, the son has arrived!" ”

Jing Rui observed his words and looked at his feelings, and said consciously: "Master, the villain still has to rush to send a pen to Master Shu, so he will retire first!" ”

Shen Jiafu nodded.

Jing Rui slowly took a few steps back before turning around completely.

When he walked to the door and saw that Shen Fu was about to come in, Jing Rui immediately leaned to the side and bowed his head to salute, until Shen Fu strode over, and he left silently.

When Shen Jiafu saw Shen Fu, his face was never kind, but he only asked a few words about the current situation, and then naturally turned to studying.

Shen Fu saw that his father never got tired of asking questions, so he could only hold his breath and deal with it carefully.

Shen Jiafu saw that he was afraid of himself, and his heart was uncomfortable and sad, and he only sighed that his knees were thin and he couldn't have more children. Sighing, Shen Jiafu glanced at Shen Fu quickly and said, "When the spring begins next year, the Shengshang's southern tour will pass through our Suzhou, and there will be a call for tests at that time." ”

Shen Fu's ears moved, and he stared at his father.

Shen Jiafu continued: "According to the practice of the Holy Lord's southern tour in previous years, the Suzhou Academic and Political Council selected a group of scholars in advance to fill in the list of scribes who welcomed the Luan's dedication, and then waited for the Holy Noble to arrive, held an examination, and then the minister of reading the papers evaluated the ranking, submitted to the Holy Lord for reading, and then selected a number of first-class scholars to be appointed as cabinet secretaries. ”

Shen Fu listened attentively.

Shen Jiafu said clearly, suddenly sighed again, and said: "I also know that you are shallow in learning, and you may not be able to win the favor of the saint, but this is a way out. Unfortunately, you didn't even get on the ranking list, so you should go and practice! ”

Shen Fuwei nodded.

"I asked Jingrui to go to the school Yamen to sign you up the day before yesterday, and when you go back to the house tomorrow, don't move around, just study at home with peace of mind, especially Fu, poetry, and theory, these three are compulsory exams, you must take advantage of the time to practice more!" Shen Jiafu admonished, and slowly glanced at Shen Fu, "If you can fight this time, I will die immediately, and I will be willing to turn a blind eye!" ”

Shen Fu was so ashamed that he didn't dare to raise his head.

Shen Jiafu couldn't help but feel pity when he saw him in the dust, so he didn't say more, and sent him to the wing room to rest again and again.

Shen Fu closed the door and came out, and began to recall Shen Jiafu's teachings in his mind, and couldn't help but feel ashamed, hating himself for studying for several years, but in the end, he was shallow and talented, and he couldn't work quickly, write smartly, and couldn't show himself to become famous and glorify his ancestors.....

On second thought, learning

Knowledge is the most taboo, anxious is not quiet, the heart is not quiet, the heart is disturbed, the heart is disturbed, the heart is disturbed, it is difficult to write, and it is more difficult to make a good article, and the ability to try ten thousand words that day is not everyone can achieve it overnight, but also need to exercise slowly.

Shen Fu's heart was full of twists and turns, and suddenly he thought of Chen Yun again.

I want the husband and wife to be separated for a long time, one is in the south of the sky, the other is in the north of the earth, they are originally winged birds, and they have become the Weaver Girl Cowherd, looking at each other across the river. When Shen Fu thought of this, he couldn't help but feel his heart swaying, and secretly swore that when he went back, he would definitely fly with Chen Yun.
