It can be seen that it is not easy to get a show.

For the later exams, the college exam is just a small test, and the township exam is a three-year test, with three exams and three days each, which is a competition between mental and physical strength.

If you pass the township test, you will be promoted, and the next year will be the exam, and then it will be the palace exam that will make thousands of students dream.

The father of the Shen family saw that Wang Tongsheng was a lesson from the past, and made a three-year appointment for them, on the one hand, he was afraid that they would not be able to pass the test for a long time and would be difficult to make a living in the future.

On the other hand, the Shen family's financial resources are not enough to support the two of them to study at the same time.

Shen Kang understood very well, nodded and said: "Dad is very thoughtful, then the three of us will make a contract with the father and son, and we will not be able to take the famous high school talent within three years, and we will drop out immediately." ”

Shen Cheng still felt that he owed the child in the end, so he sighed low and put down the dishes and chopsticks.

Shen Wang's family didn't say much about Shen Cheng's suggestion, she looked at Shen Cheng silently, and said: "His father, don't worry, wait for the time to take it back, our family will have ten acres of land, and after removing taxes and eating and drinking, how can we have two or three taels of silver a year." You're just scared. ”

Two, three taels of silver?

Shen Kang looked at Shen Wang in astonishment, his eyes were full of shock, and he couldn't say a word. His heart kept pounding, and he turned his eyes to look at Shen Cheng.

After removing taxes and rations, ten acres of land have only two or three taels of silver a year?

Shen Cheng looked at his eyes, raised his hand and knocked on his head: "Are you stupid?" ”

Shen Kang bit his lip and asked, "Dad, ten acres of land, you can only earn two or three taels of silver a year?" ”

Shen Cheng sneered: "The children of the peasant family, they can't even count this account, it's your mother who spoils you." He shook his head again.

Shen Wangshi said: "Our family is all fertile land, one acre can produce one and a half stone of grain, and ten acres is fifteen stones." Although your eldest sister is not at home, the four of us have to eat about seven stones a year. Ten buckets of rice are taxed a year, so if you calculate it, you can have more than four stones of grain left in a year, which is equivalent to two or three taels of silver, remember? ”

Shen Kang nodded, and suddenly felt a little heavy in his heart, how could he let such a family support two children to study at the same time.

I have to find a way to get rid of poverty and become rich.

This night, except for Shen Kang, everyone slept very sweetly, and in their dreams, they smiled because of the net left two or three taels of silver a year.

The moonlight fell on his eyes, reflecting the white snow making it even harder for him to sleep.

People are poor and short-minded!

He thought, should I sell something?

For example, the egg cake, the beautiful name: phoenix egg jade cake, will anyone buy it?

"Poof" he himself laughed, this kind of street food, maybe at first caused a sensation. But the method is too simple, people who eat it a few times can probably make it, and if it is not the only one, the business will get worse and worse.

Writing books to make money?

No, no, a child, it's not bad if you don't get bullied by the bookstore. Besides, at his own level of education, in this era, I am afraid that he is not even a seventh-rate, and what kind of business is he talking about, it is simply a fantasy.

For example, what about making stinky tofu? Integrate some modern marketing methods to make it popular in the scholarly circle?

Famous people who are known for their elegance probably wouldn't put this kind of thing with a strong pungent smell in their mouths even if they died, right?

In this way, he can't sell it for a big price, he can't sell it for a big price, how long will he have to sell the piece of tofu to make enough money, and where will he have time to study?

He unconsciously raised his hand and twisted the cuffs of his sleeves, frowning slightly.

Thinking about it, he was secretly worried, and unconsciously, fell asleep.

The next morning, Shen Kang got up, washed his face with the cold well water, changed into clean clothes, and looked at the reflection in the water, he knew what he looked like...

Because of his long-term frailty, his complexion is paler than ordinary people, a jade white face, his eyes are black and white, and there is a touch of brilliance in his eyes, which makes people indescribable.

He couldn't help but praise the strong genes of the Shen family's father, originally looking at the second brother Shen Chang who was beginning to look like a teenager, and he could be called a Qiyu Xuanang, but he didn't expect that his appearance was not bad. Although he is still a child, his starry eyes are misty, and his lips are red and his teeth are white.

He retracted his gaze and patted his chest, this small chest was as thin as a paper man, and there was a long way to go, what could this body do?

It's time to start exercising.

On the side, Shen Cheng put the ploughing cattle in the car, called the two brothers Shen Chang and Shen Kang, and rushed to the county.

The ox cart drove into Xiping County, and the car rolled over the stone pavement, making a clattering sound, and Shen Kang once again experienced a strong quaint atmosphere, with many shops on the side of the road, and the sound of shouting and selling was very distinctive.

Approaching the end of the year, the shops pasted peach charms and spring posts in advance, and he looked carefully, and there were merchants selling Spring Festival couplets on the roadside.

Shen Kang took a closer look, but saw that the vendors were all wearing clean and neat thick cotton clothes, and their faces were full of red light.

Occasionally, the official soap officer who walked by his side was wearing fat and dignified, beautiful and generous cloud shoes! Seeing the carriages of many rich and noble families passing by, even the young workers who drove the cars were also wearing shoes and hats.

It turned out that in the Ming Dynasty during this period, the people were so rich. Shen Kang was pleased and thought about it, probably because he was born in the relatively wealthy Central Plains, so he was fortunate to see such a folk custom.

If it weren't for the evil wolf in the village, his own situation would have been much better.

The lively and prosperous scene infected him, and he felt a faint joy in his heart, seeing that the air was steaming not far away, and the smell of meat buns penetrated the tip of his nose, and he was sure that it was a bun stuffed with pork and green onions.

In the morning, he came out of the house and drank some millet porridge, after more than half an hour of travel, it had long since disappeared, he swallowed his saliva and did not dare to say anything.

Shen Chang poked his hand, looked at the meat bun stall that was about to pass by, and lowered his voice and said in his ear: "When the second brother grows up, I will buy you meat buns to eat." ”

Shen Kang nodded with a smile and replied in a low voice: "Buy two, eat one and throw one." ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to throw food, Shen Chang shook his head and said with a smile: "Buy five, one for each of our family." ”

Shen Chengdao, who was in a hurry, said: "Go pick up Ning Niang first, let's do New Year's goods together." ”

"Eldest sister can go home for the New Year!" Shen Chang jumped, overjoyed.

Shen Cheng smiled, and he was also happy in his heart, and said: "Yes, Ning Niang came back with a message, saying that the master's family let all the servants who had not signed the deed of sale go home for the New Year, and they would come back to work after the eighteenth day of the first lunar month." ”

"Great!" Shen Chang said with a smile: "I haven't seen my eldest sister for more than half a year." He looked sideways at Shen Kang and said, "Why are you unhappy, have you forgotten that your eldest sister changed your diaper?" ”

Shen Kang's face turned red: "Second brother! ”

"Eh, Dad, look, I'm sorry!"

Shen Cheng smiled and said, "Little San, let my father take a look." ”

Shen Kang's face was as blushing as Cui Jian's famous song: a piece of red cloth. He couldn't wait to bury his face in the placket and said, "Eldest sister also changed your diaper!" ”

Shen Chang was stunned, and then his face turned red: "Who said that!" ”

Shen Kang smiled and showed eight white teeth: "The eldest sister said." ”

"Impossible, how could I wet the bed at the age of six like you, impossible." Shen Chang blushed and said categorically.

Shen Chengdao: "How much stronger are you than the junior, you still pee your pants when you are eight years old, count nine cold days, Ning Niang also went to the river to wash your pants, you didn't change your pants, and you didn't go to the ground for two days in the quilt..."

"Daddy!" Shen Chang wailed, attracting frequent sideways glances from passers-by.
