Early in the morning, Shen Kan had breakfast at his grandmother's side, took the tea handed over by Caixia, and rinsed his mouth.

Aunt Lan from the big room hurriedly walked in, and the old lady asked, "What's the matter?"

"Happy event." Aunt Lan smiled, glanced at Shen Kan first, and said, "Xiufen is coming to visit your old man's house, and the Gu family who has just arrived should come in a while."

The old lady nodded and said lightly, "It's good to come back." Caiyun, go to the kitchen to prepare Xiufen's favorite wonton noodles. ”

"Then, I'll go back."

When Aunt Lan saw the old lady's calm appearance, she couldn't help but be disappointed and walked out stupidly.

"I went to school." Shen Kan also said.

"Go ahead."

As soon as I came out, I saw Aunt Lan standing under the porch, looking at herself and smiling.

Shen Kan said strangely: "Auntie, are you waiting for me?" Something?"

"It's nothing." Aunt Lan seemed to have something to say, so she swallowed it back again, "By the way, didn't he thank you for your eldest brother's business?"

"Thank me?" Shen Kan was puzzled, "You mean that incident outside?" I caused that catastrophe, and it's good that my eldest brother doesn't hate me. ”

Aunt Lan smiled and said, "Your incident is not a disaster, but a two-sided merit."

Shen Kanqi said: "I don't understand, how can you say this?"

Aunt Lan said: "Do you think, if it's not because of you, can this matter be revealed?" So at your sister-in-law who didn't pass through the door, although she won't be grateful to you, it's not a shame. As for your eldest brother, it's okay to make a fuss this time, the old man pushed it to his wife to look at it, and the former wife said that I can't take care of it, as long as your eldest brother gets married, he apologizes to the Xiuru girl, do you say that the new daughter-in-law can not let the outside one come into the house?"

"Makes sense." Shen Kan nodded, in fact, he had already analyzed this matter.

Aunt Lan smiled and said, "So, this is beneficial and harmless to Shi'er, do you think he can not thank you?"

"I'm thankful that I don't blame me." Shen Kan smiled bitterly, "It's uncle, why is he so easy to talk to?" During those days, I was worried all day long, for fear that he would practice the family law. ”

Aunt Lan slowly stretched out her right hand and pointed at herself with her index finger, "Hmph! It's not like I'm dealing with him. Don't think I'm bragging, it's true, believe it or not?"

"Oh." Only then did Shen Kan understand why the uncle seemed indifferent to his son's secret concubine, and it turned out that he was persuaded by Aunt Lan.

In fact, Aunt Lan didn't have a big effect on this matter, but it was just Shen Jiayou and his wife's favoritism, which was the reason for doting on their son.

"Believe, I believe." Shen Kan said with a smile.

Aunt Lan was very proud and said, "Just believe it, if you have anything difficult in the future, just come and beg me." Although it may not be good, it is not a bad thing. ”

Shen Kan suddenly said, "Aunt Lan, what do you like?" I'll buy it for you right away. ”

Aunt Lan was taken aback and asked, "Why?" You're going to have something to ask me right away? Hey, you also secretly have a good relationship, can't you?"

"No, absolutely not." Shen Kan hurriedly shook his head, and then smiled: "I'll please you first, in case you accept my gift when you ask for it in the future, you can't see death without saving it."

"You kid, you also learn this slippery head." Aunt Lan scolded with a smile.

"Just in case." Shen Kan laughed.

"Okay." Aunt Lan thought for a moment, "I've recently fallen in love with the rouge of Jin Fan Zhai. ”

"I'll buy it for you." Shen Kan raised his feet and left.

Looking at his back gradually moving away, Aunt Lan said to herself, "No wonder the whole family has fallen in love with the fifth child this year. Okay, I won't mess up Xiufen's matter, just wait and see. ”

In the house, the old lady frowned, and Shen Peiwen, who rushed over, said, "Grandmother, what do you say?"

"What else can I do?" The old lady raised her eyebrows, "What can she do before?" Shame is not ashamed! Besides, it was your fourth uncle's idea alone, and the third couple also agreed, can we still oppose it? In the past two years, her family has been in other places, and her parents have not written to ask, so we can't blame us at all, we can only say that we have no fate. ”

Shen Peiwen said: "Alas, I also secretly asked the fifth brother, but he looked indifferent."

"Don't blame the fifth." The old lady snorted coldly, "I haven't seen the fifth child do anything different to her in those years, and I blame you and them, just make fun of the two children if they have nothing to do, and over time let Xiufen take it seriously." ”

Suddenly, Caixia ran in and said, "The Gu family is here, saying that Miss Xiufen is sick and won't come."

The old lady frowned and said, "It seems that I have received the letter, it's just that our family can't live with her, Peiwen, you go and persuade and persuade her."

"I see." Shen Peiwen nodded.

Wu Mansion at the back of the school, Shen Kan came to sit after finishing studying, Wu Zixian had no choice, and when he came out, he told his younger brother to be there, who knows...... As soon as she came out, Wu Song slipped away without a trace.

It is also thanks to the relatively open social atmosphere during the Jiajing period, even if it is a few decades or the next few decades, which belongs to a very special period in history.

Of course, there is a maid Hongyu, otherwise it would be impossible to get along alone, but then again, Hongyu is a personal girl, she and her own young lady are one, in fact, they are also lonely men and widows.

No, Wu Song, who ran to the back house, was scolded by his mother and came back in disgrace.

There was a plate of fruit on the table, Wu Zixian took a pear, slowly peeled it with a knife, and finally pinched the two ends of the pear with two fingers and put it on the plate in front of Shen Kan.

Shen Kan owed a debt and said with a smile: "Thank you."

Wu Zixian pursed his lips and smiled, and was about to cut the pear in half for him, Shen Kan hurriedly said, "No, you want to eat, I'll help you cut one."

"Didn't I say I wanted to share it? Cut into slices to make it easy to save. Wu Zixian explained.

Hongyu, who was standing, sneered and said, "Miss, what Young Master Kan means is that pears can't be divided."

"Can't be divided? Oh. Wu Zixian understood, and couldn't help but feel funny.

Shen Kan smiled: "Even if I'm superstitious."

"Then you can eat like this." Wu Zixian was sweet in her heart, put down the knife, got up and went to wash her hands.

Wu Song looked at their ambiguous appearance, very envious, jealous and hateful, and said, "I really can't stand it." Brother-in-law, I'm going to try it soon, can't you get off the line?"

"Down!"

The so-called additional examination is also one of the contents of the current edict, which says that the colleges of each prefecture and county can decide at their own discretion, which means that the majority of children will be given a chance, and if they do well in the examination, they can become students and study in institutions of higher learning above the county level.

Although it is not a serious Enko, it is also a rare opportunity, only for Shen Kan, if he can pass successfully, he will be able to become a glorious child. Before the admission of students, that is, Xiucai, it is undoubtedly a very rare opportunity to enter the county school.

Shen Kan has not participated in any township examinations, and he is not a child, but as Tong Sheng said before, he is just the title of a scholar who did not have a talent in the township examination, which means that he is a person who wants to be famous in the imperial examination.

In principle, any male commoner can choose to start a career, at the cost of only being engaged in industries related to reading during this period, except for farming, and there have been many down-and-out old children who have studied all their lives in all dynasties.

Shen Kan has been studying since he was a child and has not been directly engaged in a certain profession, so he is also considered a child, but the Ming Dynasty stipulates that only by passing the county examination and the government examination can he be officially recorded in the children's book.
