In the afternoon, Zhou took the shop and returned home, Li had already instilled the idea of Shen Mingjun for nearly an hour, Shen Mingjun's eyes were clear before entering the house, and his expression seemed a little hesitant, as if he was still struggling with whether to propose to Li whether he or Zhou's would run the tea shop, but when he came out, he was already completely discouraged.

"Mother won't stay much today, Mother still lives with your cousin, the old house over there is spacious. Your eldest brother will take the annual exam in two days, and your mother will often go over to supervise it, so you husband and wife don't have to be too busy...... Wait for your eldest brother to finish the exam, and then take my mother to the tea shop to take a look. ”

Shen Mingjun wanted to escort the Li family to Shen Xitang's side, and the Zhou family turned back after going out to see the Li family go away. This time, the Li family came not as domineering as she imagined, in the final analysis, she and Shen Mingjun made a little name in the city, and they had a certain right to speak at home.

In the past, Shen Mingjun was the eldest in the family, and neither the Li family nor Shen Mingjun's brothers and sisters-in-law would give their couple too many opportunities to talk.

"Mother, it seems that my father has been brainwashed by my grandmother, and the shopkeeper of the tea shop will definitely have to be replaced."

"No old or young, what is brainwashing?"

Zhou scolded angrily: "If the tea shop is gone, it will be gone, my mother can still work in the pharmacy, can you starve?" You just take care of your own business, you have to study hard these days, and your grandmother will definitely come to the school to ask Mr. to test your knowledge, if you are compared to Liulang, you have no books to read. ”

Even if Zhou is wronged in his heart, he doesn't want the little one to see how disrespectful she is to her mother-in-law, after all, filial piety is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in this era, and the world does not tolerate unfilial people.

Moreover, according to the "Da Ming Law", parents have the right to educate and discipline their children, and if their children have indecent acts, parents can use family law to punish them, and in serious cases, they will be sent to the government for a sentence of more than two years in prison, and the property should be at the disposal of the parents, and the children and grandchildren will be sentenced to three years in prison if they set up a separate account to store their assets privately.

When Shen Mingjun came back, the husband and wife discussed in the room again, and when Shen Xi woke up in the middle of the night, the main house was still lit, and the couple should not have found a proper solution.

Shen Xi probably understands Shen Mingjun's difficult situation, his cheap father is the most filial on weekdays, on the one hand, it is the earnest teachings of the old lady, and on the other hand, it is the bitter heart of the daughter-in-law, at this time he would rather not run a tea shop, and save himself from being upset now.

After two days, Li really didn't come over to disturb.

In the Li family's mind, no matter how important the tea shop is, it is just a means of making a living, and Shen Mingwen's fame is the hope of the family's prosperity.

In Shen Xi's eyes, the uncle is already thirty-six years old, his son is not old, and he has to bring a mother with him when he enters the city for the annual examination, I am afraid that he will feel lose face even when he meets his classmates.

On March 24, Fujian Xuezheng sent a student to evaluate a cadre in Ninghua County in Ninghua County, and finally determined the merits by their grades, which is the annual examination that Xiucai must go through.

The city was very lively on this day, after all, it was a major event for the scholars in the city, and even the gentleman of the school, Su Yunzhong, had to participate in the assessment.

However, for older talents, the school officer usually does not deliberately embarrass him, and his grades are given a second class, and he is basically passable if he is not promoted or demoted in the title.

But for people like Shen Mingwen who have to take the first-class exam under the supervision of his mother to keep his wife, this exam is not so easy, and it needs to excel among the hundreds of new and old talents in the county.

The annual examination lasts for two days, and the examination is concluded on March 25, and the results of the examination will be announced to the public the next day.

On this afternoon, Shen Xi finally met his uncle, whom he hadn't seen for nearly a year. People in their thirties in later generations are young, but at this time, the uncle's temples already have gray hair, crow's feet have climbed on the corners of his eyes, and although his face has been carefully repaired, he still looks old, and he is silent behind Li, his eyes are full of helplessness and sorrow.

Entering the courtyard, Shen Mingwen didn't even say hello to his younger brother and daughter-in-law, and finally Li explained: "This is also your own home, just sit." ”

Shen Mingwen cleared his throat a little, and said in a thick and hoarse voice: "Mother, before returning to the village, the child wants to visit his classmates." ”

"Go, go, I'll give you half a day off, and you must come back on time by tomorrow morning." Li Shi waved his hand, and spoke to Shen Mingwen in a tone as if he was teaching a lesson to a child who had not grown up.

Li gave Shen Mingwen a holiday to visit his classmates to stay and discuss the tea shop with Shen Mingjun.

In the old lady's heart, the eldest son is the backbone of the family, and in the future, Shen Jiaxing will rely on Shen Mingwen's title on the gold list, as for the things that the ninth-rate businessmen do to make money, she doesn't want Shen Mingwen to come into contact with them.

If a scholar has noble aspirations, he should not eat the fireworks of the world, and stay away from ordinary people such as making money to support his family. Shen Xi thought about it and felt that this theory was too absurd, what is inferior is only high in reading, in the final analysis, reading people don't want to eat whole grains?

“…… Go back to the countryside for your mother first, settle down at home, and bring your second and third brothers to the city to see who is suitable to be the shopkeeper of this tea shop. As for you, you still stay in the Wang family to work, and it doesn't treat you badly. Li finally smiled and said what she had been going to say in front of the family of four.

Zhou gritted his teeth and argued: "Mother, this tea shop was founded by Xianggong himself, and the guys in the shop were personally invited by Xianggong, and now the business has just improved, but the shopkeeper said that he will change it, I'm afraid those people won't do things well." ”

Li was a little dissatisfied, she talked to her son, it stands to reason that her daughter-in-law is not qualified to interject, in other words, she may not be able to directly slap her mouth in the past. But seeing that the couple had made a good living in less than a year after entering the city, she still said patiently: "If you don't do things well, what's the use of keeping him, just resign." If you want to say that the Shen family was in Ninghua City back then, it was a wealthy family, and it has always been the same......

Maybe it's because the Li family is old, and she always likes to mention the things of the past, especially when she first married into the Shen family, the scenery at that time was in stark contrast to the current downfall, and she always complained that the people on the other side of the long house were not angry, which was basically an old routine.

Shen Xi knew that Shen Mingjun couldn't keep the tea shop, but to be honest, there was really little difference between whether this tea shop had Shen Mingjun as the shopkeeper or not.

Since the Li family said it, she didn't want her son and daughter-in-law to refute it, she was determined to take the tea shop into the family's ownership, which could be regarded as avoiding the hidden danger of Shen Mingjun and his wife opening a small treasury to talk about separating the family in the future.

Then the Li family got up and prepared to go back to the uncle's house in the Shenxi hall...... Although the Shen family is down, the old mansion is still preserved, and the Li family has an extraordinary affection for it. Shen Mingjun wanted to keep up with the support but was refused, it seems that he wanted the two to have a good talk. When Li left, Shen Mingjun and Zhou were silent.

Shen Xi saw this situation and knew that the husband and wife were not happy, Zhou was very dissatisfied with her husband's resignation, and Shen Mingjun felt ashamed of his wife and son's good intentions, but he didn't dare to disobey his mother, so he was depressed.

Shen Xi saw that the tea shop couldn't be saved, so he could only plan other businesses, and the matter of printing the book he had thought about before should also be put on the agenda.

But this time, if you want to do business again, you have no capital, and you may have to deduct some from the tea shop for business purposes, but judging from Shen Mingjun's obedience to Li's words, I am afraid that he does not have the guts.

Shen Xi also fell silent.
