After all, Shen Mo was still worried that his father was too entangled, so he followed Shen Jing back.

As soon as she saw him come back, the matchmaker greeted him with a shy face, and said with a smile: "Oh, I said that Shen Gongzi is a talented person, and he really can't pick one out of ten miles and eight towns." ”

"Get out!" Shen Mo didn't even look at her, and said coldly: "Shen An! ”

Shen An rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward and pushed the old pious woman out.

Shen Jing also went out, and only Shen He and Shen Mo were left in the house.

Looking at the restless father, Shen Mo's face was as calm as water, he gently lifted his placket, slowly knelt down and said: "Father, it's all the child's fault, don't be angry." ”

Shen He hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to help him up, but Shen Mo's knees were like roots, and he couldn't pull them up, he held his father's hands and said softly: "If you are not filial to your son, if you stand up, your heart will be even more uncomfortable." ”

Shen He's eyes were red and he said, "Son, don't be like this, you make your father embarrassed." Our family has been turned upside down, and your father has lived like a human, isn't it all because of you? ”

Shen Mo shook his head slightly and said: "One yard is one yard, the child is not a person who is proud of his merits." I really don't make sense to talk about this alone. ”

"You have a point, I should have told you in advance." Shen He's face also turned red and said: "This matter was told to me by the people in the yamen, I also feel that the age difference is a little big, I am really ashamed to talk to you, who knew that those people actually gave the dowry behind my back, I was difficult to ride a tiger, so I had to go back to the eldest master to discuss, he promised to call Shen Jing, and the three of them will talk to you together." As he spoke, he quickly explained: "The eldest master is purely for the good of the two of us, don't blame him." ”

"No one is wrong in this matter, I am the only one who is wrong." Shen Mo shook his head and said softly: "My father has been widowed for three years, and he should continue the strings." Even if you want to marry a widow, your husband's family will not agree. So the child figured out that no one can blame you for pursuing happiness, including me. ”

Hearing his words, Shen He said with relief: "Then you don't blame me?" ”

"No wonder." Shen Mo nodded and forced a laugh.

Shen He wiped the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "I think about it, I will marry your daughter-in-law first, and then talk about my business, so that you will not be embarrassed." So saying, he went to help him again.

Shen Mo still didn't get up, but said resolutely: "The child has two things, please be considerate of the father." ”

"You say what you say, I understand." Shen He said with a smile. If Shen Mo insisted on not allowing it, he really didn't know what to do.

"One is that after the father continues the string, the child has a lot of inconvenience at home." Shen Mo said softly: "Please father allow the child to choose another place to live and concentrate on his work." ”

Shen He didn't want to be separated from his baby son, but Shen Mo insisted on moving out. He thought about it, it would be good to have a buffer, otherwise it would be a little embarrassing, so he nodded reluctantly: "It's okay to stay for a while, but you have to come back to see me often." ”

"Say hello every three days." Shen nodded silently and said, "The second thing is to ask the father not to be in a hurry to say goodbye to the child." ”

"Do you have a woman you like?" Shen He pushed his belly with his own heart.

"No, just not yet." Shen Mo smiled faintly: "Maybe next year, maybe the year after tomorrow, I think about it, my father doesn't have to worry." ”

Shen He thought about it, his son was only sixteen years old anyway, so he didn't need to be too anxious, so he agreed and said, "I'll quit the iceman." ”

This little turmoil is over.

Shen Mo moved to live with Xu Wei, and seeing that there was still a month left for the college exam, he began to concentrate on studying and preparing for the exam.

Under his infection, Xu Wei also began to write some 'shriveled texts' that he usually disdained with his surname. Shen Mo couldn't help but be surprised when he read a few articles: "Even if it is Tang Wang's art, it's nothing more than that!" "He has a vision now, and he doesn't believe in such an article, and he will not even pass the township test.

asked Xu Wei what was going on at that time.

Xu Wei now had nothing to say to him, and he talked about the original situation and silence - there was no doubt that Xu Wei was a genius, and everyone believed this, including himself. When he took the township test for the first time, the article was written short and concise, and he thought that he would be on the list this time.

However, he forgot that the writing of the current language must be more than 500 words, because the examiner did not read the page when he saw that it had not been written a full page, and marked the word 'too short' and typed his paper back.

Three years later, Xu Wei made a comeback. Who knew that it was this examiner who invigilated the exam, and under the narrow road of the enemy, Xu Wei's fire came up, so he simply let go of his talents, swayed arbitrarily, and pained the disadvantages of the scientific examination, and it was not enough to write the paper, and it was full of tables and chairs. When the paper was handed in, he carried the table and chair up, and the examiner was shocked and said, "The gentleman doesn't move his mouth." ”

Xu Wei said: 'Don't you think I'm writing short?' I'll write you a long look. ’

The end can be imagined, and it is even worse - he was thrown out of the door on the charge of 'disturbing the examination room', and he was not even qualified to let the examiner mark the papers.

When it came to the third exam, although he answered the questions in a proper manner, there were inevitably resentment and resentment in his words, and his notoriety had already spread among the examiners, and they all regarded him as a beast, so they beat him back again.

After listening to Xu Wei's story, he smiled silently and said again and again: "I said Elder Brother Wen, since you are angry, don't participate in the imperial examination; Since you are participating in the imperial examination, you have to put away your anger, otherwise you will not be successful next time, and you will have to continue to torture. ”

Xu Wei smiled bitterly: "How can I not understand this truth? It's just that the country is easy to change and difficult to change, and when it comes to that time, I can't get angry! ”

"Don't read Shiwen, let's cultivate your surname first." Silence is a serious way.

Xu Wei said with interest: "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

Shen Mo smiled: "Cleaning the house, cooking, watering the flowers, and feeding the dogs every day, I will naturally be calm." ”

Xu Wei scolded with a smile: "I know that you are not a good thing!" ”

While he was talking and laughing, there was a knock on the door, and Xu Wei shouted: "The door is not closed, you can enter if you want to enter, and if you don't want to enter, you can help close it tightly." ”

A giggle sounded, and the man walked in with a heavy fragrant wind, and when he saw it silently, it was the matchmaker he saw last time, and his face couldn't help but turn green, and he said in surprise: "Why are you still chasing here?" ”

The matchmaker was startled when she saw him, but she quickly lowered her face and said to him with her big nostrils: "The old body is not here to find Shen Gongzi," and said to Xu Wei and smiled: "I am here to find Xu Ye." ”

Xu Wei smiled: "Don't you want to kiss me too?" ”

The matchmaker covered her mouth with a flower handkerchief and smiled: "Xu Ye is famous, but he is a great talent who can't be picked out from ten miles and eight towns, how can he let the room be empty?" I have a delicate baby here, who belongs to the prefect of the state...... niece, twenty-eight years old, waiting for the word boudoir, the prefect ...... 's younger brother admires Xu Ye's literary name and intends to marry you as a stepfamily, if you also have this idea, Ming said to go and see it. ”

Shen Mo smiled: "This is right, I also think that there should be a woman to take care of you, otherwise you will die sloppy sooner or later." ”

When the matchmaker saw that he was helping himself this time, she put on the most sincere smile and said a word to Shen Mo, making Xu Wei dizzy and confused, and agreed.

The next day, he stiffened Shen Mo to accompany him, and the two changed their bright clothes, and under the leadership of the matchmaker, they took a boat out of the city and went to the prefect's ...... The town of Lanting, where my younger brother lives, went.

When I arrived at the ground, it was really a big family, and there were several big houses living in the house, and there were countless slaves and maids, and the younger brother of the prefect was an admirer of Xu Wei.

On the way back, he smiled silently: "I look good." ”

"No, absolutely not." How do you know that Xu Wei is decisive about the railway.

"Why?" Shen Mo said in surprise.

"Because he has the same surname as the national thief!" Xu Wei said righteously: "I, Xu Wei, will not marry a woman surnamed Yan. ”

"I think you're really stuck in the door!" The silence was once again overwhelmed by his strange thinking.

No matter how he persuaded him, Xu Wei didn't agree, and the two of them chirped crookedly outside the city, and when they were about to go in, they saw a team of officers and soldiers Xiang Yong, armed with knives and guns, driving out of the city, and there must be thousands of people.

The two of them were probing their brains, and they were discovered by the official army, and they were immediately taken down as Japanese robbers, and the silent heroes did not suffer the losses in front of them, and hurriedly said in a loud voice: "I am the nephew of the Tang Governor's Mansion, and I am here to see off the adults." Xu Wei also shouted: "I am the junior disciple of the Tang Governor's Mansion, and I am also here to see him off." Shen Mo glared at him and said, "You take advantage of me." "It was meant to be." Xu Wei said with a smile.

A passing villager recognized them and said, "This is our talented Mr. Xu in Shanyin." "This is our more talented Shen Gongzi."

The patrolling scout relented and brought them to the Chinese army.

Tang Shunzhi was discussing with the governor, and as soon as he heard that they were coming, he confessed and came out to meet.

Seeing that it was really the two of them, Tang Shunzhi said with relief: "I couldn't find you everywhere, so I ran into it before leaving." ”

"My lord, where is this going?" Xu Wei asked anxiously.

"This is not the place to talk." Tang Shunzhi whispered, then pulled the two of them to no one's place, and then whispered: "The battle situation in Taining is tight, tens of thousands of Japanese invaders are attacking the city, Governor Tan and General Yu are about to be unable to withstand it, Lord Zhongcheng concentrates soldiers from various prefectures to support the front line." ”

"What about Shaoxing?" asked in a deep voice.

"As long as Taizhou and Ningbo can hold on, Shaoxing will not be in danger." Tang Shunzhi said softly.

"What if the pirates bypassed the defenses?" asked silently.

"At most, a small group of Japanese soldiers have come over, and there is a security team in every township," Tang Shunzhi said with a solemn face: "I still have five hundred villagers in the city and hand them over to Xue Tongju." Both of you are talented people, please help me when the time comes. ”

"It's incumbent!" The two responded in unison.
