marquis of jingan

Chapter 232
Chen Qing is the eldest in the family, with a younger brother and a younger sister.

Chen Qing's family is a rich peasant, but even if he is a rich peasant, he can only support one scholar. Therefore, Chen Qing is the only one in Chen Qing's family who studies. The old chicken dog ascended to heaven.

It is a pity that although Chen Qing was very talented in reading, his fate was not good, and he died early at the hands of four bullies.

After Chen Qing's death, the parents were heartbroken. Originally, they could send their youngest son to study under the terms of the Chen family, but Chen's father and mother were afraid that something would happen to the youngest son when he went to the city to study, so they left the youngest son behind. Beside him, he also turned off his thoughts of becoming a prosperous and prosperous man, thinking that it would be good for the youngest son to grow up well.

In fact, Shen Yi knew about the situation of the Chen family.

And in the second half of last year, Shen Yi's financial conditions were already very good, enough to help Chen Qing's younger brother Chen Zhi to study, but Shen Yi never came to Chen's house.

Because at that time, Shen Yi himself was under the pressure of survival, and even the pressure of personal safety.

At that time, he was still a student, and he might face retaliation from Fan's family at any time, so he had to be careful every step of the way.

But it is different now.

Leaving aside his status as a Juren, he has now officially become a teacher of Master Lu, and he is placed here as a student of Lu Anshi. There are not many people in the court of Chen Guo who dare to lay hands on Shen Yi.

The Fan family didn't dare either.

The Fan Shilang from the Fan family was obviously quite afraid of Ganquan Academy, and Fan Shilang and Fan Dongcheng were not in Jiangdu at this time, so no one would do anything to Shen Yi in Jiangdu.

Therefore, he came to Chen Qing's house at this time.

After hearing Shen Yi's words, both Chen's couple looked up at Shen Yi, staring at Shen Yi without speaking.

The scene was a little stiff.

The little girl from the Chen family stood up from the ground, ran into the house and moved a small bench, and placed it behind Shen Yi.

She didn't dare to speak to Shen Yi, and after putting down the bench, she ran away timidly.

But it was clear that she also wanted her brother to have the opportunity to study.

Shen Yi sat down silently, looked at the two middle-aged men whose faces were already wrinkled due to the exhaustion of farming, and sighed slightly: "Uncle and aunt, I can pay all the expenses for this child's study. Let him inherit his brother's behest, if he is talented, he can pass the exam all the way in the future, if not, I can also arrange a livelihood for him in Jiangdu City."

Master Shen's voice was calm: "The Chen family, there is always another hope."

Father Chen still didn't speak.

Chen's mother stared at Shen Yi fiercely, and after a long time, she gritted her teeth and asked with a strong Jiangdu accent, "Why did you help us!"

After Chen Qing left, the person who was caught in the prison was none other than Shen Yi.

Although Shen Yi was exonerated and acquitted afterwards, it was obvious that Mother Chen still had some doubts about Shen Yi.

"Because Chen Qing and I are good friends."

Master Shen looked at the two of them, and said indifferently: "For the sake of my old friend, I only come here today. I won't persuade you by mentioning such a sentence."

"Whether you want him to study or not is up to you."

After saying this, Shen Yi stood up from the small bench, ready to say goodbye and leave.

In Chen Qing's case, he was also the victim.

He can be a good person to help Chen Qing's younger brother study, but he will never be a bad person, let alone be wronged here.

Seeing that Shen Yi was about to leave, Mother Chen lowered her head, her eyes were red and she stopped talking.

Father Chen stood up silently and looked at Shen Yi: "Young Master Shen, shall we talk outside?"

Shen Yi nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay."

The two men left the yard and came outside the yard. Father Chen looked very complicated. He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Master Shen, I want to know how my son died..."

Shen Yi let out a foul breath.

"Beating and killing by several people."

He looked at Father Chen, and said slowly: "As for who it is, don't ask uncle, you can't afford to provoke those few people, and one of them, even I can't afford to provoke now."

"This matter is buried in your heart with your aunt."

Father Chen lowered his head and did not speak for a long time.

After an indeterminate amount of time, he raised his head to look at Shen Yi, hesitated for a while, and asked, "I heard that Mr. Shen...you have been selected for the examination."

Shen Yi nodded silently: "It's a fluke."

Father Chen's expression was complicated. He looked up at Shen Yi and asked, "If... Ruo Qing'er is still here, can he... can he win the exam?"

Hearing this question, Shen Yi's heart also "thumped".

After he was silent for a while, he said: "Brother Chen Qing was only above me in knowledge, not below me. Since I was able to win the exam, if he is still alive, he should also be able to win."

Hearing Shen Yi's affirmative answer, Father Chen showed a somewhat gratified and proud expression on his face, he looked up at Shen Yi, and said, "Okay, I will send the third child to the city reading."

Father Chen looked up at the sky, and seemed to see his energetic eldest son.

"Qing'er has a soul in heaven, and he should also hope that his younger brother can go to school."

Shen Yi nodded, and said quietly: "In this case, I will find him a school in the city these few days, and my uncle will send him to the city after the new year, and wait for two or three years if he succeeds in his studies. If so, I will recommend him to enter Ganquan Academy."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi paused, and said: "If he fails in his studies, I will also arrange work for him."

Shen Yi's idea is that if Chen Qing's younger brother is not good at studying, then maybe Chen Zhi can take care of his [-] mu experimental field in the future.

"it is good."

Father Chen nodded.

"Years ago, I would definitely take him to the city to find Mr. Shen."

Shen Yi nodded first, and then asked: "Where is Chen Qing's tomb? I want to pay respects."

Hearing the word Chen Qing, Father Chen sighed again, and said, "I'll take the young master later."

After all, Father Chen returned to his yard, and came out again not long later, with a jug of wine in his hand, leading Shen Yi towards his son's grave.

Chen Qing's grave is not too far from Chen's house, probably less than a mile away. When Shen Yi arrived in front of the tombstone, he first took out the three sticks of incense that he had prepared from his sleeve and lit them, and then lit them from Chen Qing's tombstone. He borrowed some wine from his father and poured it in front of Chen Qing's tombstone. After talking to Chen Qing for a few words, he left with Chen Qing's father.

When they arrived at the entrance of Chenjiacun, Shen Yi was about to leave, but Chen's father kept pulling Shen Yi, wanting to invite Shen Yi to his home for a meal.

However, Shen Yi was always unwilling. Chen's father thought that Shen Yi disliked the country food and was not used to it, so he didn't force him anymore, and the two separated at the entrance of Chenjia Village.

After parting, Shen Yi got into the donkey cart and returned to Jiangdu City.

Because he left early, it was only in the afternoon when he returned to Jiangdu City.

Sitting on the donkey cart, Shen Yi looked at the scenery along the streets in Jiangdu City from time to time.

The scenery of Jiangdu City is still the same, and the prosperity is still the same. Some pavilions are not inferior to those in Jiankang City, and it is the first-class prosperous place in the world.

Sitting in the carriage, Shen Yi suddenly frowned slightly while watching the scenery of his hometown.

Because of the plaque with the words "Fan Mansion" hanging on the door of a family.

Someone Shen sat on the donkey cart, looked up at the word Fan Mansion, and frowned again.

In his opinion, everything in Jiangdu City is good, that is...

It was the plaque of the Fan family that made him look very uncomfortable.

This plaque seems to be related to Jiangdu City...

Out of place.
