Li Guangdi knew that his pen power was completely compared with Shen Qi, and brought this topic and said:

"Don't talk about me, I came to you this time because you can go home, and Zhang County Decree has canceled the wanted warrant!"

Shen Qi had long expected this matter, and his certainty came from that he spared Zhang Yaowen's life, and Li Guangdi told him that he would explain the matter to the prefect, and it was estimated that the situation would take a turn for the better.

"Thank you so much, is that what the prefect meant?"

Shen Qi patted Li Guangdi's arm happily, and was already looking forward to going home early to see Shen Hao

"Well, after the prefect learned about your holiday with Zhang Xianling, he persuaded him to stop and fined him for a year!"

Li Guangdi happily recounted the whole process, and praised the prefect, saying that he was a man who loved talents.

The name of the prefect who was praised by Li Guangdi was Ye Shude, who was the prefect of Quanzhou, and Anxi County was a county under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou.

Shen Qi was a little relieved when he heard this, he had heard some rumors about the prefect earlier, some good and some bad, I don't know if it's true or not.

"Master Wang, thank you this time. ”

Shen Qi noticed Wang Huairui, and hurriedly hugged his fists to thank him, but the other party felt that Shen Qi was too polite.

"Shen Qi, little friend, don't waste any more time, the prefect is waiting to see you at the county office, don't forget that you still have the opportunity to take the county exam make-up exam. ”

As soon as Wang Huairui reminded him, Li Guangdi, the head of the county, suddenly thought of this matter, and he explained to Ye Shude that Shen Qi had opened his mind and become a ghost, and now he already has the strength of the second stage of the pen. He was very happy that a ghost talent could appear during Ye Shude's tenure, and he immediately asked Li Guangdi and Wang Huairui to find Shen Qi back.

"In that case, let's go back. ”

Shen Qi was a little excited in his heart, he was able to participate in the make-up test, and he must grasp it well.

Soon, the four of them left the Batong River together, and the water mill stayed in Shen Qi's picture scroll and left together.

When they walked out of the forest and saw Anxi County, Shen Qi, who was happy all the way, suddenly stood still in place.

"What's wrong with Brother Qi?"

Zou Manshan looked at him as if he was contemplative, and asked puzzled. It stands to reason that when summoned by the prefect, any scholar will rush over in a hurry.

Li Guangdi and Wang Huairui were also puzzled by Shen Qi's sudden stop, but before he could open his mouth to ask the reason, Shen Qi hugged his fists and said:

"The two of you also apologize to the prefect for me, and say that I, Shen Qi, miss my father at home, and I must go home first to fulfill my filial piety. ”

Shen Qi said this temporarily, which Li Guangdi and they didn't expect, but they could all understand.

Lee then replied:

"Go and come back quickly, and we'll explain the situation to the prefect. ”

After deciding this, Shen Qi took Zou Manshan to the village, while Li Guangdi and Wang Huairui immediately entered the city, presumably Ye Shude and Zhang Yaowen were waiting a little anxiously.

Shen Qi carried the book basket on his back, Zou Manshan followed beside him, and the two walked out for hundreds of meters to see a large green and secluded field, and on the other side of the ridge was a small village, which could be seen in the scenery of the fields with smoke curling.

Just as Shen Qi and the others were quickly rushing to their homes along the familiar path in the field, the eyes of several big men carrying hoes in the village lit up, and they finally saw Shen Qi, who was already quite famous in Anxi County.

"Shen Qi is back!"

Several people immediately shouted, and then ran over to ask long and short questions, these people are from the same village, although they are not very familiar, but they often see each other.

"Thank you for your concern. ”

Shen Qi didn't like to socialize these things very much, and after thanking him hastily, he took Zou Manshan and rushed to the village, but at this time, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from the village, and a group of villagers learned that Shen Qi had returned safely, and immediately flocked out, and the scene was comparable to a welcoming team.

"Our big ghost is back!"

"I didn't expect such a powerful person to come out of our village!"

"That's not it, now even the prefect has to see him!"

......

A group of villagers rushed over, shocking Shen Qi, since he practiced his pen power, this is the first time to feel everyone's enthusiasm for him.

Among these people, Shen Qi did not see his father, and then two respected white-bearded hunchbacked old gentlemen came out, they were the most senior in the village, and they needed their consent to do some things in the village on weekdays.

I saw that one of them cleared his throat, stared at Shen Qi with cloudy old eyes and shouted:

"In view of the amazing talent of the only son of the Shen family, we have decided to record his deeds in the family tree and pass it on from generation to generation to inspire future generations!"

This decision instantly made the villagers present explode, because in this village, except for Shen Qi and their family, the others are surnamed Li, and it is very rare to record the deeds of a person with a foreign surname in the family tree of the surname Li.

"Okay, I agree!"

When everyone was staring at Shen Qi with surprised eyes, one of the villagers shouted, and then it was seen that the other villagers agreed, and the matter was passed.

"My Shen family is from outside, thank you for being so kind!"

Shen Qi was quite grateful for their actions, and after thanking them, several women stared at Zou Manshan's white melon seed face and said:

"Sister Shan, you are blessed, you have such a good father-in-law, do you mind if my daughter and your second daughter serve a husband?"

This made many people laugh, but when she heard this, Zou Manshan shrank her body, her cheeks became red because of nervousness, and one of her small hands reflexively tightened Shen Qi's sleeve, as if she was afraid that he would be snatched away.

Seeing her embarrassment, Shen Qi grabbed her little hand and grinned, and then said to everyone:

"Don't make fun of my little lady anymore, she's thin-skinned. ”

Everyone stopped for a while, and after a while, a teacher in his fifties walked in outside, it was Song Kuangfu.

This Song Kuangfu saw Shen Qi again and felt a new temperament, which made him both surprised and envious, thinking that he had been an old boy all his life, not only could he not pass the college examination, but even his pen power had been stuck in the second stage of pen power, which could be said to have made no achievements for decades.

Although Shen Qi became a little arrogant, he never dared to forget the people who were kind to him, and he took the initiative to bow his head towards Song Kuangfu and bend over and said:

"Hello sir, the student is polite. ”

"Well, I heard that the prefect wants to see you, but you have to personally invigilate the exam in the make-up exam?"

Song Kuangfu was very satisfied with Shen Qi's modesty, touched the small tuft of beard on his chin and asked about it, he also looked forward to seeing both Shen Qi and Li Guangdi shine on the way to the imperial examination.

"Mr. Hui, the student has not yet gone to the county seat, and wants to go home to visit his father first, and then go to meet the prefect. ”

As soon as Shen Qi said this, Song Kuangfu first secretly said that he shouldn't be like this, in case the prefect was displeased, it would be troublesome. However, he quickly thought that not long after Shen Qin's death, Shen Ho turned white for him in an instant, and he should go home first.

"It's okay, filial piety comes first, don't forget the benevolence in books for the sake of fame and fortune. ”

Song Kuangfu then urged Shen Qi to hurry home, presumably Shen Hao had already learned of his return.

"Well, thank you, sir, for your teachings. ”

Shen Qi then pulled Zou Manshan to say goodbye to everyone, and hurried to a mud house at the back of the village, surrounded by a small fence courtyard in front of the door.

When the two of them appeared at the entrance of the fence courtyard, the white-haired Shen Ho was already standing at the door of the house waiting, his eyes staring at Shen Qi, who had finally returned, looking extremely old.
