Chapter 15 Shen Wenjun's desire for funding was rejected
"Your sister is talking nonsense!" Old Lady Shen persuaded Shen Wenjun, and then said to Shen Xiujuan, "Xiu'er, did you hear what your brother said?" That Xia Gongzi is just a businessman, where can he compare to Cui Zixuan! You just listened to your mother's words, and waited at home for Cui Zixuan to come to the door to propose, right? ”
At this time, Shen Pingping interjected, "Cui Zixuan's mother and son said when they left last time, they don't look at who the Shen family marries, just look at the marriage." ”
The word "marriage" is now a topic that the Shen family can't mention, and the old lady Shen immediately scolded, "Shen Pingping, you shut up for me!" ”
Before the three brothers of the Shen family could speak, Shen Wenjun said, "Mother, what kind of marriage?" ”
It's not okay to marry too much, most of the Shen family's property should belong to him, a talented showman!
He knew that his father and mother were partial to him, but his father and mother were also partial to this youngest sister!
Old man Shen spoke, "We want to marry Xiu'er to Cui Zixuan, and we want your sister to have a good life in the future, so we discussed it and gave thirty acres of land and two hundred taels of silver as a dowry!" ”
As soon as Old Man Shen's words fell, the whole kitchen became noisy, Old Man Shen coughed twice, and said loudly, "Look at it, look at it, the property in the family belongs to me and your mother, and we love to give it to whomever we like." ”
"Your mother and I are not dead yet, these people are worried about my property!"
Shen Wenjun pursed his lips, so much to marry his daughter, did he leave more property for himself!
Old man Shen's words made the faces of the three brothers of the Shen family not very good, Shen Wenjun did not come back from the town all the year round, the old man and the old lady had a headache and brain fever, they were all taken care of by the three rooms in turn, but now it is good, the property has nothing to do with them!
"Mother, even if you don't agree with me looking for Xia Gongzi, but think about it, Xia Gongzi is such a rich man, and he personally comes to deliver goods to the Mu family, what kind of business is the Mu family doing?" Shen Xiujuan asked.
Old Mrs. Shen squinted her eyes and glanced at Old Man Shen, yesterday Mrs. Shen entered the Mu family openly, not only did she not find anything, but she was also beaten and humiliated, and she lost a hundred yuan.
It seems that if you want to discover the secret of the Mu family, you have to think of a way.
"This matter is not in a hurry, after all, it is also the rice bowl of other people's meals, as long as they are still in Aoki Village, the old lady will lift their old bottom sooner or later!"
Mrs. Shen sandwiched a chicken leg for Shen Xiujuan and coaxed her to eat, Shen Xiujuan was finally willing to eat, and others could eat with chopsticks.
After eating, Shen Yunxi returned to bed to rest, today's salted duck was that she searched through the entire APP before choosing a more convenient method.
There is no soy sauce, no soybean paste, and no oven, the duck practice is very restricted, and the current kitchen of the Mu family is not suitable for building an oven, and when a new house is built later, she must build a good kitchen.
With the oven, she can unlock a lot of treats.
After the Shen family finished eating, Shen Xiujuan wiped her mouth with her hand and went to sleep, Mrs. Shen pulled her youngest son back to the room to talk, and she told her youngest son everything that happened at home recently.
"Cui Zixuan is the top of the talent list, Shen Yunxi, a motherless child, how can she be so blessed to marry him, such a good marriage, you have to give Xiujuan it!"
Shen Wenjun hates it most when others say that Cui Zixuan is the top of the talent list, but he denies that he is jealous, so he simply doesn't speak.
"But the news of this aunt's marriage robbing her niece is too ugly, just at this time, that Orion Mu Chenglin came to the door to ask to marry Shen Pingping, and was blackmailed by me in various ways, and gave me one hundred and twenty taels!"
When he heard one hundred and twenty taels of silver, Shen Wenjun's eyes lit up!
"But this Liu family disagreed, I thought she was reluctant to marry her daughter to Orion, but later I learned that she also fell in love with Cui Zixuan. Bah! Just her Shen Pingping's appearance, a drag oil bottle, still thinking about being a talented lady, what kind of dreams do you have! ”
Shen Xiujuan is lazy to eat, and her fat facial features are not better than Shen Pingping, so why should she? However, Shen Wenjun didn't dare to say this, he was worried that Mrs. Shen would deduct his living expenses.
"And then?" Shen Wenjun asked.
Later, Liu and Shen Pingping wanted Shen Yunxi to marry instead, and smashed a big hole in her brain! I originally knew about this, but what I thought was that Mu Chenglin should send Shen Yunxi back again, and we sold her to a rich family as a concubine while the news had not yet spread. ”
"With Shen Yunxi's small appearance, he can't sell it for hundreds of taels of silver! I don't know what's going on, this little hoof just doesn't want to come back, and it's against us everywhere! ”
"When Cui Zixuan came to propose marriage, she deliberately dragged Shen Jiajia into the water, this is because our Shen family is not messy enough!"
remembered that Cui Zixuan's proposal to marry Shen Xiujuan was messed up, and Mrs. Shen hated Shen Yunxi so much.
"Since it's a substitute marriage, can't it be changed back?" When Shen Wenjun heard that Old Lady Shen said that when he sold Shen Yunxi to a rich family as a concubine, and he could sell it for at least a few hundred taels of silver, he was a little itchy, and secretly hated Shen Yunxi why he didn't return to the Shen family!
"Liu and Shen Pingping, the two sluts, in order to make Shen Yunxi unable to come back, directly wrote Shen Yunxi's name on the marriage book, and now her household registration has also arrived at the Mu family! Except that she herself wants to come back! ”
"But after Shen Yunxi went to the Mu family, the Mu family began to make sugar gourds, and now she doesn't know what to do, she is also a member of the Shen family, so she doesn't know how to steal some recipes for her mother's family! What a white-eyed wolf! ”
"Mother, Fangzi belongs to the Mu family, the Mu family doesn't give it to her, and she has no choice, but I have an idea, I can make some money!"
After Shen Yunxi woke up, she got up and soaked a lot of soybeans, and she repeatedly memorized the steps of making tofu in her heart.
Mu Chenglin was making wooden frames, he listened to Shen Yunxi's explanation, and felt that it was better to make a few more.
At this time, there was another knock on the courtyard door.
Shen Yunxi went to open the door, and saw the person she didn't want to see the most, the thick-skinned old lady Shen, and Shen Wenjun with a smirk.
"Is there something wrong?" Shen Yunxi leaned lazily against the door frame, crossed his hands, and asked disdainfully.
"Shen Yunxi, your fourth uncle and I came to see you, and you didn't invite us in to sit down, just blocking the door, are you polite?" Seeing Shen Yunxi's attitude, Mrs. Shen scolded.
"Grandma, is it empty-handed to visit someone?"
"The old woman is so old that she will die of exhaustion when she climbs the mountain, and you still want a gift? Shen Yunxi, why is your heart so black? ”
Seeing that Mrs. Shen and Shen Yunxi were about to fight as soon as they met, Shen Wenjun immediately pulled the old lady's sleeve, his purpose of coming to the door today has not been achieved!
Old Mrs. Shen had no choice but to swallow her breath into her stomach, and Shen Wenjun put on a smiling face, "Yunxi, don't worry about grandma, your grandma actually cares about you very much, but she is a knife mouth tofu heart, you misunderstand her!" ”
After saying that, Shen Wenjun also pulled Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Shen glanced at Shen Yunxi reluctantly, and Shen Yunxi knew that these two people came to the door either for money or for Fangzi.
She looked back at Mu Chenglin, Mu Chenglin nodded at her, she turned sideways and let the two into the courtyard.
Shen Wenjun thought that the charm of his talent status moved Shen Yunxi, and he suddenly became much more confident.
Mrs. Shen entered the yard and found that there was not a single jar in the yard, she looked around in disbelief, but she didn't see the jar, but she saw the bacon being smoked not far away.
The old lady's eyes lit up when she saw the meat.
Xia Yifan also saw bacon when he came in the morning, but he was not surprised, nor did he ask any questions, the bacon has not been smoked yet, and it is too early to eat.
"So this pork is here, oh my God, how much pork is there! Shen Yunxi, you black-hearted person, you don't know how to give some to the Shen family with so much meat! ”
Coming to this set again, Shen Yunxi said expressionlessly, "Then the Shen family has so much silver and Tian, why don't you send some to your in-laws!" ”
When Mrs. Shen heard this, she almost jumped again, but Shen Yunxi continued, "So what does my husband's family have, what is the matter with the Shen family?" ”
Shen Wenjun pulled the old lady again, although the Shen family made a fortune with the Su family's dowry, but the old lady's vision is still so small, what is this bit of meat! Why bother with a white-eyed wolf!
"Yunxi, my mother is joking with you, you know, we countrymen have no vision, we have never seen so much meat, my mother is a little excited!"
Shen Yunxi laughed mockingly, the Shen family raises a lot of pigs all year round, very few of them are sold, most of them are kept for their own family to eat, how much meat Mrs. Shen has never seen!
"Tell me, what are you here for?" Shen Yunxi didn't bother to go around with them, and asked directly.
"That, Yunxi, you know, the fourth uncle has been studying since he was a child, and he didn't live up to the expectations of his family and was admitted to Xiucai! But it costs a lot of money to study, in addition to the bundle, pen, ink, paper, inkstone or books are a lot of money. There will be a lot of activities among students, and there are two students at home, which is a bit tight! ”
Shen Yunxi raised her eyebrows, Mrs. Shen couldn't roll around, so let Shen Wenjun sell miserably to ask for money, right?
"It turns out that it costs so much money to study, and we also have a scholar in our family!" Shen Yunxi said with emotion, looking like he was holding a heavy responsibility!
"Cut, what kind of book does a sick man read, if you want me to say, it's better to give all the money to Wen Jun, and when he is in high school, he can promote you!" Old Lady Shen muttered and said with a disdainful expression.
Mu Chenglin's face fell, his fists clenched, his younger brother is not a sick man, and he dares to pretend in front of him if he is a bottom-of-the-line talent!
Shen Yunxi touched Mu Chenglin's arm and gently comforted him, "Grandma, I'm not stupid, I don't provide for my own family, my uncle!" ”
If they're here to ask for money, I'm sorry, go out and turn right!
Old Lady Shen was about to lose her temper again, but Shen Wenjun immediately stopped her, "Yunxi, you misunderstood, the fourth uncle didn't come to ask you for money!" ”
"Mr. Xia, who came to your house today, should be the owner of Qingfeng Building! Since Yun Xi is so familiar with Xia Gongzi, can you help the fourth uncle pull a line! ”
Strings? What is the thread? What does Shen Wenjun want to do?
Seeing that Shen Yunxi was a little puzzled, Shen Wenjun continued, "That's the case, the current imperial court has issued a policy, that is, businessmen can subsidize poor children to study and record it in the government. ”
"If the number of children sponsored by this businessman reaches a certain level, or if the subsidized person has obtained the corresponding fame, the government will reduce the tax of these businessmen accordingly!"
I didn't expect that the emperor of this Xia State still had such a mind, and they all said that Shinong was industrial, but if you want to speed up economic development, you can't do without business, in order to improve the status of merchants, the imperial court really took a lot of effort.
However, this has also given many children from poor families the opportunity to study.
In fact, there is another point that Shen Wenjun did not say that businessmen also need certain conditions to subsidize the children of poor families. That is, the child of this poor family has to go through a certain assessment.
A few years ago, there was an incident of white-eyed wolves, which made many businessmen feel cold, so the imperial court added this article on this basis. In this way, those students who feel that it is natural for businessmen to fund themselves and have no gratitude at all are excluded.
Like Cui Zixuan, although he is the top of the list, his reputation in the student circle is not very good, he would rather find Shen Xiujuan, who has a rich dowry, than find businessmen to fund.
And he, Shen Wenjun, the conditions of the Shen family have always been good, and he looks down on those sponsored students very much in his heart.
But now is different from the past, the Shen family's family is about to be empty, and he doesn't want to lower his living standards, the only way is to let Shen Yunxi and Xia Yifan match, and let Xia Yifan fund himself.
A big boss like Xia Yifan must be extraordinary in his shot, so that he Shen Wenjun can live very nourishingly again.
Mu Chenglin moved the corners of his mouth contemptuously and did not speak.
Shen Yunxi listened to what Shen Wenjun said, and only felt that this person's skin had reached a certain level, "The conditions of the Shen family are not up to the poor family, right?" ”
There was no trace of embarrassment on Shen Wenjun's face, "Yunxi, you don't understand, the money spent on studying is too much, and in addition to me, Zhenyu is also studying in the Shen family, and the expenses are too big!" ”
"Since this is the case, why can Shen Xiujuan still have such a rich dowry?"
Shen Wenjun was stunned, he was actually very dissatisfied, his mother was very dissatisfied, his mother had a thorough understanding of him, and there was not much money in the family, but even so, his father and mother still wanted to give Shen Xiujuan so much dowry!
Old Mrs. Shen was pulled by Shen Wenjun, and she couldn't help scolding, "I give my old daughter's dowry what does it matter to your married granddaughter, in a word, are you involved or not!" ”
Shen Yunxi chuckled, "Grandma, this is your attitude of begging people?" ”
"Besides, Boss Xia is such a shrewd person, if he wants to sponsor a student, will he not investigate the reputation of this student in advance?"
"How much did the fourth uncle rank in the show back then, and how did he spend his time in the academy in the past few years, Boss Xia really won't understand?"
Shen Yunxi's words made Shen Wenjun's face drop a lot, he fell last back then, and he almost failed to make the list, he also knew that he had no hope of being promoted to the exam, and he had no intention of studying in the past few years.
It's just relying on the identity of Xiucai to eat, drink and have fun in the town, anyway, the old man and the old lady don't understand, and he thinks every day that his son will be able to go to high school one day and take the Shen family to glorify his ancestors.
He has been held in the palm of his hand all these years, and he is a hundred unwilling to let him come back to farm!
"Shen Yunxi, if you don't want to pull the strings, forget it, why do you say that about your fourth uncle? If the fourth uncle is in high school one day, as the daughter of the Shen family, will you have no light on your face? ”
Shen Wenjun directly transferred the contradiction, and couldn't let Mrs. Shen know what she had done in the past few years, otherwise they would definitely cut off their living expenses and support Shen Zhenyu.
