"Let's go! I'm going to fetch water, we haven't washed up yet, let's go together! Shen Mengzhu said in the style of an eldest brother, and took his younger brothers and sisters out of the east wing.

After running out of food, Wu cleaned up the tableware, Shen Mengxi also stepped forward to help with a very good eye, Shen Zaishi saw it in his eyes, his heart was very ironing, and he thought of the words she analyzed in the firewood room in the morning, and felt that this granddaughter was more smart and sensible than before after a serious illness! He squinted at Wang Jin, who bowed his head and was silent, and he didn't look down on her gloomy and childish appearance, and it wasn't that he favored his granddaughter, the daughter from the Cui family was not as good as theirs. Speaking of today's Cui family, the family is far less than before, there are very few outstanding children in the family, since the seventh master of the Cui family died of illness ten years ago, the pillar of the Cui family is gone, and there is no successor, and it is not as good as day by day.

Shen Zaishi agreed to marry Cui's when he first agreed, but he was also selfish, thinking that he was of the same root and origin, so he should have a little face, and he could also have a help in his scientific research career. But after so many years, he has never heard of any dealings between his father-in-law and eldest brother and his family, and he understands in his heart that the two families are not close to each other, so he has no intention of relying on the Yue family.

However, his luck is indeed not very good, at the age of twenty-two, he was admitted to Xiucai, young and promising, and he may not be able to get ahead after studying hard for a few years. However, his parents died one after another, so he had to suspend his career and keep filial piety at home, and this observance has passed for six years. is nearly thirty years old, and it is completely possible to continue to rely on people and even jinshi, but unfortunately he has used up all his family's savings because of a serious illness due to wind and cold. In desperation, Shen Zaishi had to listen to Baozheng's suggestion to open a private school in the Zhangjia ancestral hall in the village to teach the children in the neighborhood to read, so as to earn some money to subsidize the family. This private school Mr. Shen has been in Shiyi for more than ten years, and the students have taken up a lot of his time and energy, and he has spent less and less on studying for the imperial examination, and he has slowly worn away his enthusiasm for the imperial examination!

However, his eldest son Shen Zhixin is stronger than him. At the age of eighteen, he was admitted to the Xiucai examination, married Fu Shi and entered the door, which can be described as a spring breeze, and he could have participated in the government examination three years ago to gain fame, but Fu Shi was difficult to give birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus and went soon after, Shen Zhixin not only missed the exam, but also suffered a great blow because of Fu's death, and has been in a slump since then. Not long after, at Cui's insistence, Xiao Cui's entered the door, Shen Zhixin resolutely refused to share a room with Xiao Cui's, and simply went to the county school in order to avoid the persecution of his mother and Xiao Cui's. Cui's crooked attack was correct, but it allowed Shen Zhixin to pick up his books again and continue to embark on the road of the imperial examination.

Seeing that the autumn season is approaching, Shen Zhixin is planning to win the fame this year, but he never thought that there would be another such thing in the family, and his only daughter almost died, which will still affect his mood and schoolwork to some extent. However, Shen Zhixin did not regret giving up everything and rushing home, in his heart, the children will always come first.

"Da Lang, you go and prepare, hire a mule cart and let's go to your uncle's house in the county!" Shen Zaishi opened his mouth and commanded.

"Yes, Father! My son also thinks that he should deal with it as soon as possible at this time, so as not to have too many dreams at night! As he spoke, Shen Zhixin's eyes glanced in the direction of Cui's direction.

"For the sake of the father, you all know in your heart, you all go to your own hands first!" Shen Zaishi nodded, indicating that he understood the meaning of Shen Zhixin's words.

When only the old couple were left in the house, Shen Zaishi said: "After Da Lang and I leave, you will immediately find Zhang Niangzi, remember what I told you, you must let Zhang Niangzi promise to swallow that thing into her stomach, do you understand?" ”

Cui Shi nodded and said: "Don't worry, official, I can still do this well, and I will definitely not leave any troubles!" The Cui family didn't dare to disobey Shen Zaishi's words now, Shen Zaishi's niece had made Shen Zaishi very dissatisfied with her, and she was really afraid that Shen Zaishi would drive her and Wang Jin back to Cui's house in anger.
