"You let my precious daughter suffer so much, do you want to forget it?" Old Man Yin glared and said...... He felt that he should be very angry, but his anger was extremely limited, but he still had a hint of joy in his heart, which made Master Yin a little ashamed and said, "Are you worthy of her like this?" ”

Shen Mo said, 'I'm sorry for her, and I'm sorry for you, you see how you can atone for your sins, I will do it well, without ambiguity.' ’

In fact, Master Yin himself knows that such a perfect son-in-law who is both talented and beautiful, and has a deep love for his daughter, can't be found with a lantern. Moreover, through this period of contact, he himself was extremely satisfied with Shen Mo, and seeing that he could live in Hu Zhongcheng's villa, knowing that this must indicate that Shen Lian's affairs had been settled, and he was even more impressed.

Therefore, Master Yin's decision is not in suspense, but he knows that if he wants to rip off the bamboo, he has to take advantage of this time, so it is impossible to let go of silence easily. Pretending to ponder for a moment, he said, "Let's make the affairs of the Lu family clear first, there is nothing to do with each other, right?" ”

"Never." Shen Mo flatly denied: "There will never be one in the future." ”

"Absolutely not! Break it off cleanly, don't get drenched, and get into trouble that can't be shot. Old Man Yin said with a straight face.

Shen Mo knew that the great work was about to be completed, so he became more and more respectful, no matter what the old man said, he was always 'yes, yes', and never retorted, and his attitude was surprisingly good.

This made Master Yin even more depressed, and finally stopped talking about the Lu family, and said: "Also, my daughter is the phoenix among people, and she needs to be a dragon among people to match, do you think you are?" ”

Shen Mo said: 'Fang just praised me as the only one in heaven and on earth, why did you question whether I was worthy or not in a blink of an eye?' But he also knew that the old man was purely revenge, so he naturally didn't care about him, and pretended to think for a while and said, "I think...... I'm okay. ”

"You say okay?" Old Man Yin blew his beard and glared: "From ancient times to the present, when did you see someone who is not a Jinshi, known as the dragon and phoenix among people?" ”

Shen Moxin said, "Then Confucius doesn't count. Then he smiled and said: "Don't worry, my son-in-law, I will study hard, and strive to be promoted this year and next year." ”

"The snow-capped mountains are not piled up, and the cowhides are not blown." Master Yin straightened his face and said: "Let's talk ugly things in front, if you can't win the lift, don't expect me to accept the dowry; If you can't get into Jinshi, don't expect to marry my daughter home. As he spoke, he got up and said, "Remember?" ”

Shen Mo said: "Remember," Seeing Master Yin walking out, he hurriedly said, "Let's leave after eating?" ”

Master Yin's footsteps paused obviously, but then he continued to walk forward, until he reached the door, and then dropped a sentence: "It depends on your sincerity." And he left without looking back.

Shen Mo smiled bitterly: "I will really take advantage of people's danger." He instructed Tie Zhu to go to Lingyin Temple to buy another one, and send it to Meishu while it was hot, so as not to delay the old man's dinner.

In the evening, Tie Zhu came back, and said in relative silence with a bitter face: "My lord, the old man over there said that this kind of filial piety should become the norm, and it can't just be left as it is." ”

Shen Mo sighed and said, "Then send it, every day until you get tired of eating." ”

"Delivered every day?" Tie Zhu's face wrinkled like a chrysanthemum and said: "You don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, this table of vegetarian seats costs eight taels of silver, and this money is enough to go upstairs and order a decent table." ”

"So expensive?" Shen Mo was taken aback and said, although he is now the patrol and supervisor of Zhejiang, he is not a local official after all, and he has no oil or water at all. And because of the surname of the errand, no one dared to give him a gift, so in addition to the little money, there was only one hundred taels allocated by the imperial court to the patrol every year, and two hundred taels of office expenses to the prison army. If it weren't for Hu Zongxian's generosity and generosity, and he also allocated him a subsidy of 100 taels of silver every month, he would have been unable to make ends meet just by raising his subordinates, and he would have to eat the old money he saved last year.

There is a saying that a penny is difficult for a hero, and Shen Mo said a little weakly: "Then send it every other day...... I'll write another letter, you send someone back to Shaoxing, and ask the old man for one or two thousand taels for emergency relief. "It's so embarrassing to come out to be officials, and ask the family for money, and after thinking about it all night, I don't know how to talk to my father.

But the next morning, the problem was solved. Miss Yin sent someone to deliver a letter, opened it silently, and there were two sentences on the paper: "There is no need to worry about external affairs, only read the books of sages." Attached to it is an official ticket to pay at sight, the amount of which is ...... Five thousand taels.

Shen Mo pinched his fingers and counted for a long time, and he didn't know how much five thousand taels was, so he asked the iron pillar who sent the letter in: "How much is five thousand taels of silver?" ”

"Send the most expensive vegetarian seat in Lingyin Temple to Master Yin every day, and you can send it for two years." Tie Zhu said intuitively: "If you send it every other day, you can send it for four years." ”

"So that's enough?" Shen Mo suddenly became happy, he hesitated all night, not knowing how to ask his father for money, and now Miss Yin sent it, relieving him of a big heart problem. I only heard him say happily: "So I don't have to fight for money in the future." ”

Tie Zhu sweated, and whispered: "Miss Yin's money can only be saved for a while, the adult is the head of the family, and I will have to rely on you in the future." ”

Silent but unconcerned: "Let me guard the cornucopia and ask for food?" Are you stupid or am I stupid? He said with a smile: "Marrying this good daughter-in-law, at least I won't be defeated by other people's silver bullet attacks in the future, this is really gratifying." "Then he picked up a brush and wrote a line of words: 'I dare not say that I am a good official or a bad official in this life, but with you, I will definitely be a clean official.'" Put it in the envelope and say, "Go, let the messenger bring it back." ”

Tie Zhu's forehead sweated for a while, and he said silently and worriedly: "What, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Tie Zhu hurriedly wiped his sweat and whispered: "You don't reject being a corrupt official?" ”

Shen Mo rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile: "Everything is possible, unless you all get out." ”

Tie Zhu thought about it, so he smiled and withdrew.

Since that day, Miss Yin no longer pretends to be unfamiliar as before, and every day she will send someone to bring you precious soups that soothe your nerves and nourish your brain, and according to the knowledgeable steward, these ingredients are more expensive than gold. In order to let him concentrate on preparing for the exam, Miss Yin also took Ah Man over, but fortunately, the little girl liked this beautiful aunt with a lot of delicious food very much, so she temporarily followed Miss Yin to live.

But Miss Yin also has her reserve, since that meeting in the plum garden, she has not shown up again, and she has refused to ask her to go outing. Shen Mo knew that this was because the marriage between the two was a last resort, so she was afraid that she would be looked down upon by herself. Now that he understands Yiren's heart, he naturally can't sit idly by, so he wants to comfort her.

But if this is straightforward, it seems too proud, so it must be said to be tactful, and after thinking about it, he saw that the lotus leaf outside the window was already green, so he broke a branch with his own hands and made a couplet: 'Lotus root is obtained because of lotus'. He also asked people to pick a basket of fresh apricots from the courtyard, cover them with the verdant lotus leaves, and send them to Miss Yin...... He believed that with Miss Yin's aura, he would definitely understand what he meant.

But she said that Miss Yin got the basket of apricots covered with lotus leaves, and then looked at the nonsense 'why did you get lotus root', and she understood that 'lotus' is 'he', and 'lotus' is 'even'...... So it's actually 'Why do you get married?' It's the lover who is asking, 'How did we get together?' ’

Look at the basket of attractive apricots again, a sentence of "apricots do not need plums" naturally floated in front of me, Miss Yin, who was smart about ice and snow, immediately understood what the lover meant, it was fate that connected us together, so that we didn't need the matchmaker'...... 'Fortunately, there is no need for a matchmaker'.

"Lotus root because of the lotus? There are apricots but not plums. Repeatedly savoring the meaning of these two sentences, Miss Yin's heart felt warmer, the lover is so understanding, gentle and considerate, and the husband is like this, what do you want in this life? The more she thought about it, the redder she became, and she longed to put on her wings and fly to him and tell him about her love.

But as soon as the wind blew, she came to her senses again, looked at the yellow calendar on the wall, and found that there was less than a month before the scientific examination. asked the maid to send four sentences to Shen Mo: "The good time for the gentleman is already there, and there is no end to the sea of learning; He cut the candles in the west window together, but when he talked about the title of the gold list. "Meaning, I know your heart, you just have to work hard, and let's play after the exam.

After reading Miss Yin's letter silently, he stopped asking her out and studied harder. In April, Wang, Tang, Qu, Xue, and all the texts, Cheng Mo, and the examination papers of the grandmasters of various provinces, remembered thousands of articles in their stomachs, and felt that they could write like gods, so they ordered their subordinates to simply pack up some bags and prepare to go back to Shaoxing to participate in the scientific examination...... Not all students can participate in the township examination, and they must first pass the examination in school, and those with excellent grades can be admitted to the subject...... That is, to obtain the qualification of the examiner.

First go to Meishu to say goodbye to Master Yin, although the old man is still a little unable to open his face, but now the exam is the biggest, lest it affect his mood, and specially set up a table of banquets for him, and gave him an official ticket of 2,000 taels of silver, saying that it was for winding.

After saying goodbye to his father-in-law, he left Xixi silently, he was going to Hangzhou City to take a boat back, but before that, he had to go to Xiling Bridge to meet the people who were thinking about him.
