Chapter 12 Lori Scheme
A poor family like the Xie family can't withstand a few tosses. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info offended the Candle Lake Sun family, the Xie family's situation in Yuyao City was already very difficult, Xie Fang was even ready to move out of Yuyao, but who knew that his Xiaolang was a Wenqu star, and he was favored by the county lord, not only made the invincible Candle Lake Sun family suffocated, but also won the recommendation of the county to learn from the county, and became the most promising reader.
Or how can you say that you should read more, but there is gold in this book.
If Xie Fang was changed, in the face of the aggressive Sun family, he would definitely swallow his anger and smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
The more Xie Fang thought about it, the more he felt that his little man was amazing, and since he returned home, he praised Xie Shen continuously, and even Xie Shen, who had always been cheeky, couldn't stand it.
"Big brother, I'm not as good as you boast about. The reason why I was able to get into the eyes of the county is also due to luck. β
Xie Fang was not happy now, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Luck? Can luck alone make an eternal absolute? I've heard that the pair from the county lord has not been right for hundreds of years, but it was matched by you. β
Xie Shen secretly complained in his heart. It seems that too much limelight is not a good thing. In fact, the so-called eternals are definitely not as difficult as imagined.
The reason why these pairs are so well advertised is that there is an element of boasting. Then the ancients were extravagant and perfect, and a rhyme had to be aligned, so it would be difficult to match the lower couplet. However, Xie Shen ignored these many restrictions, but was able to make a good link.
Xie Shen knew that no matter how much he explained, it was useless, so he simply shook his head and let Xie Fang boast.
It seems that the old Xie family has this tradition of competitiveness, otherwise why is Xie Fang so excited?
Xie Fang patted the food case and said: "Xiaolang, your current status is extraordinary, you can't wear this cloth shirt anymore, so I will go to the silk shop and pull two Zhejiang flowers to make a well-fitting robe for you, and you will have face when you wear it." β
Xie Shen wanted to say something, but sister-in-law Xie Chen said in a deep voice: "Xiaolang doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, just leave it to your eldest brother and sister-in-law." If you really want to help our Xie family, you can study well, come back with a reputation as soon as possible, and see who dares to bully us. β
Xie Shen's heart sank and nodded silently.
It is said that everything is inferior, only reading is high, and Xie Shen didn't agree so much at first. But after experiencing this incident, Xie Shen was even more determined to plan to gain fame.
Why are the Candle Lake Sun family so domineering, isn't it because they are a scholarly family, a family of imperial examinations, and their ancestors have produced many Jinshi?
Even a little housekeeper can take advantage of the power of the dog and call the Xie family to drink. If it weren't for Xie Shen's quick wit and the power of the county to suppress these evil slaves, God knows what would have happened.
And once Xie Shen has gained fame, even if he is just a showman, he can be exempted from all forced labor and taxes, and he will not kneel when he sees the official, and he will not be punished.
Not only that, but even Xie Fang and sister-in-law Xie Chen can also follow the income, if Xie Shen can also take over the land in the neighboring villages. Nominally, it is a transfer, but in fact it is just Xie Shen for them to keep it, and then Xie Shen rents out the acres of land at a very low rent, although the money is less, it is a real business without capital, and it is lying down to make money!
In his previous life, Xie Shen's biggest dream was to sleep until he woke up naturally, counting money until his hands cramped. Now it seems that in order to achieve these two points, it is necessary to fight for fame.
There is still nearly a year to go, and with the guidance of such a tall teacher as Confucius, Xie Shen is very optimistic about his prospects for the imperial examination.
Sister-in-law Xie Chen served the food, set the dishes and chopsticks, and the family was about to eat when they heard someone knocking on the door.
Xie Fang frowned, there weren't many people who had dealings with their family, and they had just moved from the west of the city to the south of the city, so no one should come to visit at this time.
With suspicion, Xie Fang got up and went to open the door. When he opened the deadbolt, he was startled.
This person is none other than Xie Shen's original husband, Old Master Liu. Beside him is Old Master Liu's favorite granddaughter, Qiu Niang.
"Brother Xie, why did you suddenly move, and you didn't tell the old man."
This old master Liu is really thick-skinned, and Xie Fang pulled Qiu Niang into the bamboo building before he could greet him.
Xie Shen felt a sense of disgust in his heart, he didn't have a good impression of Old Master Liu, and now he was even more sure that this old man was a wall grass who saw the wind and steered the rudder. Xie Shen didn't think that Old Master Liu liked him before, but now Old Master Liu really took the initiative to come to the door like a different person. Because Xie Shen can think of it with his toes.
Wu Xian Ling is the absolute master in Yuyao, and it doesn't seem like a big deal for him to boast about a child, but in the eyes of those who have a heart, it is a hint. Old Master Liu is such a caring person, although he is rich in food and clothing, he is not ranked at all in this famous Yuyao City. But if there is a protΓ©gΓ© who can boast of the county, he can have more boasting capital when recruiting students in the academy. In other words, Xie Shen seemed to him to be a pawn that could be fully utilized.
"Xie Shen, the old man has prepared a private room for you in the White Deer Academy, and every day after school, he will prepare special training to teach you what the old man has learned all his life."
Old Master Liu leaned to Xie Shen's side shamelessly and said with a smile.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my husband. It is not a secret that the students have been ordered by the county to study in the Sanwei Academy run by Confucius. β
Xie Shen replied very directly, without leaving a trace of emotion.
Today's bitter fruit was planted by Old Master Liu himself, since he wants to hug the thigh of the Sun family in Candle Lake, don't think about stepping on two boats and then repairing the relationship with Xie Shen.
Old Master Liu was obviously a little surprised, he only heard that Xie Shen was boasted by the county, but he didn't know that Xie Shen had changed his court.
If it had been someone else, he would have fled in shame a long time ago. But Old Master Liu was very cheeky, he changed his strategy after a little thought, and said: "This is really a great joy, Confucian is a famous Confucian in Yuyao City, you can rest assured that the old man will worship under his name."
It's not that Old Master Liu has a high consciousness, it's because he knows that Xie Shen won't choose him at all. Not to mention that the two of them already had a disagreement before, he said that Confucius's knowledge and connections were not comparable to him, and Xie Shen was not stupid, of course he knew how to choose.
"You are twelve this year, and the granddaughter of the old man is also twelve."
Old Master Liu twisted his beard and said lightly: "Old man, I see that you are in love, if we two families decide to get married, what do you think?"
Xie Shen's brain exploded.
Why does this old master Liu still use the beauty trick?
Xie Shen's boast of being respected by the county is just a little boy with no merit and fame, and Old Master Liu has even taken his own granddaughter with his blood, this is sure that Xie Shen will definitely be able to go far on the road to the imperial examination?
