Shen Xi got Li's consent to continue studying, Zhou was very happy, knowing that the next day Li was going to leave the county seat and return to Taohua Village, Zhou went to the street to buy some gifts for Li to take back.

The Li family did not hold a grudge against the Zhou family, and did not mention anything about coming to the city to settle accounts with Shen Mingjun and his wife, only saying that he came to see his three grandchildren.

After Li went to the dormitory to see Shen Yongzhuo, the eldest man of the long room, and encouraged him, he did not follow Shen Mingjun home for the night that night, but took Shen Mingxin to the lobby of Shen's Hutong in Ximen to spend the night. Although the older generation has passed away, since the Li family has come to the city, as the person with the highest rank in the family, it is not good not to visit the Shen family's house.

Shen Xi came home from school the next day, Li had already returned to the countryside, and Zhou returned from the tailor's shop very early to sew and mend Shen Xi's clothes at home.

"Han Wa'er, your grandmother allows you to study, you must work hard, if you regress in your studies after half a year, see if the old lady doesn't clean you up!"

Zhou's happiness is happy, but there are many words that threaten his son, which can be regarded as a reminder to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi was submissive, and hurriedly helped Zhou thread the needle and thread, handed over the cloth, and behaved extremely well-behaved.

Shen Mingjun came back in the evening, but his face was elongated.

Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to inquire, and Shen Mingjun had a worried face: "When I was about to get off work, the old man came over and said that the people in the government couldn't find the old Taoist priest that Xiaolang said, and let me take Xiaolang to the county government tomorrow." Also, we may have to move to another place, and the lord said that a distant relative came from the provincial capital and wanted to live here. ”

The originally happy family suddenly became gloomy.

The Wang family has a lot of money, and it stands to reason that they should be befriended by the government and cited as Austrian aid.

But when the Xia master went to the Wang family to apportionment the silver in the reception department, Shen Xi saw that Wang Changnie was very perfunctory to the Xia master book, and thought that he was unhappy when he had no money, and later warned Shen Xi and his son not to get too close to the government, so he determined that the feeling at that time was not an illusion.

Later, when I inquired, I learned that the Wang family had caused official trouble, because of business matters, and now Wang Changnie's eldest son, Wang Lingzhi's elder brother, is still in prison in Wuchang Mansion in Huguang.

Moreover, this courtyard was originally because of the hanging of a carpenter, Wang Changnie felt unlucky, so he let the Shen family temporarily live for a period of time to accumulate some yang energy, but now he feels that it is almost the same, so he feels that he has let outsiders take advantage of it in vain, and it is estimated that what distant relatives are is simply an excuse, because there are many vacant wings in the Wang family's mansion, where can they not be placed?

Of course, it's not impossible to continue living, as long as you take out real money, but this is not something Shen Mingjun can afford.

"Boss, what should we do? Finding a place to live in the city can cost a lot of money! The family didn't have much money to spare, and now they have to provide for Hanwa'er to study, where can I have the money to rent a house? ”

"Tomorrow I will go outside the county to take a look, there are many idle houses in the city, and the rent may be cheaper than in the city...... Alas! ”

Shen Mingjun, as the pillar of the family, can't let his wife and children live a good life, in fact, he can make money to support the family by working in the Wang family, but he has to give the monthly money to his mother, and what he gives to his wife is only the change from the main family on weekdays, even if the Zhou family works in the tailor shop, it is difficult to keep the family in the city.

Shen Xi didn't speak, but he saw all this in his eyes.

The next day, Shen Mingjun took Shen Xi to the county office.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the county office, the official politely led the two of them in through the side door. When I came to the study on the left side of the lobby and saw Master Xia, Master Xia's face was ugly, in the past few days, I still didn't find the old Taoist priest who wrote the script and the book in Shen Xi's mouth, and Master Xia suspected that he was deceived by Shen Xi.

"Say hello to Lord Xia."

Shen Mingjun came up and pulled Shen Xi to kowtow, Xia Zhushu is the official of the imperial court, and the people naturally have to kneel when they see the official.

Master Xia lost his previous pleasant face, and said coldly: "The little son of the Shen family, let's meet again." But I don't know if the old gentleman you said has ever looked for you? ”

Shen Xi's eyes widened and he shook his head, and Master Xia straightened his face when he heard it.

The official level crushed people to death, Lin Langzhong put pressure on Han County Order, and Han County Order passed on the pressure to Xia Zhushu, and Xia Zhushu naturally put pressure on the people below, but those yacha couldn't find anyone even if they broke their legs, so he could only blame the initiator, that is, Shen Xi.

Master Xia didn't talk to Shen Xi anymore, probably because he felt that talking to a childish person would damage his identity, so he said to Shen Mingjun in an official tone:

"Let's put it this way, the county commander urged him tightly. The queen's birthday is imminent, and the prince is about to turn one year old. If you can't find someone and can't get a new script, you have to bear this responsibility. ”

The queen mother in the mouth of the Xia master book is the wife of the current Hongzhi Emperor, Empress Zhang.

During the reign of Emperor Hongzhi, he favored Empress Zhang, and there were no other concubines in the harem. The crown prince is the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, who was later famous for his impropriety in the annals of history, Zhu Houzhao can be regarded as born with a golden key, as the eldest son of Emperor Hongzhi, he was canonized as the prince after only five months of birth.

It is now the fifth year of Hongzhi, and Zhu Houzhao will turn one year old in September.

Shen Xi was not happy when he heard this.

Originally, it was just to have fun listening to the opera, and it couldn't be eaten as a meal at all, but now the Ministry of Industry Langzhong Lin Zhongye actually wanted to use the southern opera script to enter the palace to offer flattery and invite pets, and the old Taoist priest, the original author, couldn't find it, so he pushed the matter to his father and son.

Shen Mingjun didn't dare to talk to him, but Shen Xi argued with reason: "May I ask Lord Xia, what does the life of the queen mother and the prince have to do with our promotion to the small people?" ”

Tong Yan is unscrupulous, Shen Xi is relying on this, as long as the words are not too impulsive, no one should care about a child.

But Master Xia's book was obviously pressed by the above, and said sharply: "Originally, it didn't matter, but if you sent the script and caused a huge twist and turn, then it mattered." If there was no script for your dedication, and if there were no storytellers who spread "Yang Jiajiang" to the public, Lin Langzhong would not have persecuted the county commander, and then I would not have come to you today. ”

"The little boy of the Shen family, you are a big ghost, look for this old gentleman for me, if you find someone, you will naturally not be treated badly!"

Shen Xi didn't say anything anymore, since Master Xia decided to put the blame on him, there was no way to refuse.

On the way home, Shen Mingjun's face was gloomy, he hadn't seen the old Taoist priest Shen Xi said at all, where to find it? Besides, the son said before that the man had left Ninghua and went to the provincial capital. If people can't find it, offending the government is a trivial matter, and the father and son may even go to prison.

Shen Xi was a little indignant, he had a deep understanding of the darkness of this world, but if he was an official, he would be superior to others, and there was no pressure to bully people. It's a pity that he is just a child, and he has no fame in his body, so he can only swallow his anger.

"Dad, go to work, I'll go to school now." When he was about to get home, Shen Xi said to Shen Mingjun.

Shen Mingjun said goodbye to his son with some reluctance.

Shen Xi has no plans to go to school, he has to hurry up and write out the script, no matter what, he can't let his father eat a lawsuit, and he can only find ways to solve the trouble.

However, before writing the script, he decided to go to the calligraphy and painting shop to see if the fake paintings on consignment had been sold, and many things had happened in the past two days, and he didn't care about it.

When I arrived at the calligraphy and painting shop, I hung the painting on the wall.

Just when Shen Xi was extremely depressed, the shopkeeper came over: "This time, someone came to ask, and also asked about the price." I didn't dare to call the shots, so now it's time to ask what you mean. ”

Shen Xi thought that someone should know the details of Wang Meng's landscape paintings, so he wanted to see if he could pick up the leaks. Originally, the shopkeeper didn't think that this painting could be sold, and he didn't even have a psychological price, so he used the excuse that the owner was not in place, and now he came to make him have a number in his heart.

"The gentleman who painted it for me said that it would be enough to sell it for a few taels of silver."

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded: "If it's just a few taels of silver, it shouldn't be difficult to sell it, and tomorrow you wait to come and get the silver." ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

Shen Xi bowed respectfully to the shopkeeper and left.

In fact, at least the Wang Meng's landscape paintings on the market are more than 100 taels of silver, and it is not surprising that the rarer ones even sell for 1,000 taels. With Shen Xi's level of fakery, outsiders can't tell the truth at all.

But now that the family is in urgent need of silver, Shen Xi can't care too much...... Anyway, the fake painting just took him some work, and at most he could make a few more pictures later.

When he got home, Shen Xi began to write a playbook.

He doesn't know much about Peking Opera repertoire, so he must be familiar with it and close to historical facts, and only "Dingjun Mountain" from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is more suitable.

In order to be in a hurry, when Shen Xi was writing the script, he saved what he could, only retained the essence of the original work, and after writing the whole story, it was only a few folds, but it added up to three or four thousand words, which is already a great masterpiece for Southern Opera.

Because Lin Zhongye of the Ministry of Industry wanted to use this script as a birthday gift, Shen Xi also specially added some birthday greetings in the end. After the script was written, Shen Xi read through it again to confirm that there were no mistakes or omissions before stopping. His handwriting is very old, and ordinary people can't tell that it was written by a child, and they are not worried about Xia Zhushu looking for trouble.

"Hanwa'er, why are you at home? Didn't go to school? As soon as Shen Xi finished writing the script, a voice came from the door, it turned out that Zhou had come back with Lin Dai.

At this time, it was just noon, and Shen Xi reflexively hid the script behind him.

Zhou's face suddenly straightened, "What is hidden?" Take it out! ”

Shen Xi had to honestly hand over the script to Zhou, and Zhou opened it to see, but she was illiterate and could only read a rough idea.

"It's so well written, neatly written, who wrote this?"

Shen Xi said with a smile: "Of course it was written by the old gentleman...... At the beginning, he wrote three playbooks, and one of them was thrown aside because he thought it was bad, and I picked it up. I went to the county government with my father before, and the government asked us to find the old gentleman to make a play, so I took it out to make up the number, so that the people in the government should not embarrass us anymore. ”

Zhou didn't doubt his son, pinched Shen Xi's face, and praised: "It's still smart to be a fool, if that old gentleman doesn't leave this script, I'm afraid our family will suffer...... Alas, maybe the old gentleman had expected this one a long time ago, and specially prepared it for us, the old gentleman is really a master, and he has no last resort. ”

Shen Xi pretended not to understand: "Mother, you said that this was deliberately left by the old gentleman?" ”

"Or else? Do you think it's so coincidental that the old gentleman doesn't write more than one copy? If you meet the old gentleman again in the future, be sure to bring him to the house, and my mother should thank him well. ”

Shen Xi stuck out his tongue and honestly agreed.
