After "Wen Ziran" disappeared, Wenjia Village returned to its former calm on the surface.

However, I don't know how long the psychological impact of this incident will last on everyone.

The Wen family, who raised Wen Ziran, naturally became an existence that the people in the village avoided like a plague.

However, evasion is avoidance, and the debts that should be asked cannot be written off.

The one hundred taels of silver promised to Wen Lan when they split up is not a small amount for the village.

Especially if there is a son in the family who wants him to study, he tries his best to make the big house spit out this money.

When it's okay, they will go to the big house in groups of three or five to greet them, when will the one hundred taels be returned?

Wen's father and Wen's mother said that the family couldn't open the pot, and they couldn't take out so much money at all.

The people in the village sneered, can't open the pot?

Then why is Wen Tan still wearing a decent long shirt, how can he still have spare money to go to the county for recreation and participate in the Wenhui vassal elegance?

How did Wen Hu raise him for nothing?

Those who really can't open the pot, the family is hungry and skinny, yellow-skinned, yellow-skinned, skinny, yellow-skinned, and skinny, so they won't spend a lot of money to buy a long shirt and go to the city to be at ease.

Wen's father and Wen's mother were scolded with red faces, and they couldn't even raise their heads, but they didn't say a word about paying back the money.

After the group of villagers left, as soon as they returned to the house, Wen's mother began to cry.

"How will you live in the days to come!"

Mother Wen cried sadly, and Father Wen was also sad.

Thinking of Wen Tan's indifferent face when he left, Father Wen's heart was filled with unbearable pain again.

thought that Tan'er would be able to support the family after high school, and their old couple would be able to enjoy happiness with their son who was an official, but Tan'er knew how difficult the family's situation was, so he still left without looking back.

And he also said that before the exam, other people would visit the examiner and check the relevant personnel, and he never disdained to do those things, but this muddy world did not allow him to be as high as before, for the sake of the future, for the sake of the family, he had to make changes.

Only when he rises step by step can the Wen family have a bright future, and their big house will not be despised and trampled on by others.

For this he took fifty denarii again.

Fifty taels!

When Wen's father was distressed about the money, Wen's mother was also thinking about the future.

Although Wen Lan's attitude was already very clear, she still couldn't help but have illusions, "Old man, you said, if we go to ask for the second child again, this hundred taels ......."

"Don't think about it." Father Wen said in a deep voice.

Mother Wen was unwilling, "But he is our son, I gave birth to him, why does he not care about the life or death of the two of us, he has to honor us, and he has to give us a pension to the end!" ”

Father Wen was silent, and there was not even a glimmer of light in his eyes.

The second child has already separated from them.

There was no way he could go back.

……

When the day of the hospital examination arrived, Wen Jinyang was sent outside the examination room by the whole family.

The family took turns to say a lot of words, and Wen Jinyang could not see the slightest expression of impatience on his face.

When it was the turn of the youngest Jin Yan, she opened her mouth and said, "Brother, you are the best, I believe you will be able to." ”

Wen Jinyang smiled with relief, and listened to Jin Yan say: "But you don't have any pressure, even if you don't do well in the exam, I won't dislike you, and I'll raise you in the future." ”

“……”

Wen Jinyang and Si Fengxuan looked at Jin Yan together.

Jin Yan blinked, "What's wrong?" ”

Obviously, both of them had a lot to say, but they both shook their heads in unison.

Wen Jinyang responded with a smile, "Then you put your heart in your stomach, don't forget who said that you want to be a millet worm before, and the matter of supporting your family is still left to me." ”

Si Fengxuan echoed on the side, "That is, the boy's ambition is in all directions, the imperial examination fails, there are other ways out, don't worry so much." ”

Jin Yan glared at Si Fengxuan, and Si Fengxuan immediately said, "But Jin Yang works so hard, he will definitely go to high school." ”

"Yang'er, check the side again, if there is anything missing." Mei Huiniang reminded gently.

Wen Jinyang: "No, Yan Yan has checked it for me several times, and there will be no problems." ”

Wen Lan looked at his son, who was like a green pine, a flash of relief flashed in his eyes, and he patted Wen Jinyang's shoulder, "Okay, it's not too early, go in early and get used to it." ”

Wen Jinyang nodded.

As soon as he entered, Wen Tan hurried over.

He seemed to have just woken up from a hangover, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were disheveled, and a corner of his robe was pinned to the waistband of his trousers, and a pair of shoes seemed to be dripping, and there was a lot of mud on the slope.

Jin Yan: "Did he fall into the pit?" ”

Si Fengxuan shook the folding fan in his hand and looked at Wen Tan coldly, and quietly turned his body sideways to block Jin Yan's view.

I don't know if I heard Jin Yan's voice, Wen Tan glanced at them, but quickly turned his head to the other side in embarrassment.

After successfully lining up in the line for inspection, Wen Tan began to organize his clothes.

Even so, when it was his turn, he was interrogated a few more words by the official, and after a lot of tossing, he successfully entered the examination room.

On the day of the release of the list, Jin Yan pulled Si Fengxuan outside the examination room early.

Even if she already had the answer in her heart, she still wanted to be the first to witness the honor that her brother had earned after years of hard study.

Sure enough, Wen Jinyang took the first exam.

Jin Yan jumped up happily on the spot, and Si Fengxuan carefully protected her, for fear that the people around her who were watching the list would be too excited and touch Jin Yan and step on it.

Some people rejoice, and some people worry.

Wen Tan's eyes were as big as bull's eyes, and he searched the list again and again, and his eyes were almost cracked, but he never found his name.

He didn't give up, and urged Wen Zimo to go to the list.

Wen Zimo was just a little slower, and he was beaten and scolded on the spot.

But if you don't get in, you don't get in.

No matter how much he doubts life and complains, his name is not on the list.

Wen Tan left the examination room alone in a rage.

Wen Zimo walked on the street in a trance, almost bumped into someone several times, and finally walked to a stall at the corner of the street.

Jin Yan and Si Fengxuan walked all the way and bought a lot of congratulatory gifts, and when they arrived at the door, they heard Father Wen's voice.

It's just that compared to before, his momentum is very weak, and his voice is much older.

"I'm your master's father, let him come out to see me."

"You tell him that his nephew has fainted on the street and his life is in danger, so let him come out and save people quickly!"

"You reassure him, my old man doesn't want to rely on him, I just want to save my grandson, but I don't have enough money on hand......"

Jin Yan opened the curtains, and sure enough, he saw Father Wen standing at the door, and under his feet was Wen Zimo, whose eyes were closed and his face was pale.

It seems that Wen Tan didn't get in.

Si Fengxuan asked, "Do you want to save it?" ”

Jin Yan nodded, "Help, Wen Zimo is not as shameless as Wen Tan, and he also knows that he wants to be faced, with him supporting the big house, these people will not come to bother Daddy." ”
