marquis of jingan

Chapter 241 Determined to go out of the country!
Shen Yi naturally saw the plight of his third brother, he sighed in his heart, silently slowed down, and walked with Shen Ling, his voice was low: "Third brother, uncle..."

Before Shen Yi finished his sentence, Shen Ling shook his head and laughed at himself: "It's okay, I'm used to it."

The eldest son of the Shen family, that is, the two sons of Shen Hui's lineage, are not very good at reading, but Shen Hui is very superstitious about fame. In order for Shen Ling to be able to get a name in the examination, even if he was only selected as a scholar, Shen Hui was very happy.

However, Shen Ling didn't care about scientific examinations, and he didn't like reading. After taking the county examination twice, he was too lazy to take the examination again.

Now that Shen Yi has passed the examination, and Shen Ling has not even passed a single student, Shen Hui is naturally angry about this.

Shen Yi has no way to adjust this kind of family conflict, but he has a very good relationship with Shen Ling. If he has the ability in the future, he will definitely take care of this third brother.

After all, if Shen Ling hadn't gone to the academy for help last year, Shen Yi's body would have been cold by now.

The two brothers walked at the back of the line, talking, and followed the carriage all the way to the Shen family mansion. The second generation boss of the Shen family, Shen Hui's eldest son Shen Mao, greeted his two followers , and the servants of the Shen family began to move things down from the carriage.

Shen Yi looked at the contents of the three carriages, looked back at Shen Ling, and said in a low voice: "Third Brother, you will rarely have a good life in the future. Judging from the situation, it is estimated that Uncle will come back this time. Let's go!"

Shen Ling heard the words, with a bitter face, sighed: "There is no way, this house belongs to his old man, I can't prevent him from coming back?"

Shen Yi winked at him, and said with a chuckle: "Third brother, you can experience it at home for a few days now. If you can't survive at home, after the new year next year, you can go to Jiankang with me. Our brothers are in Jiankang After working hard for several years, when I come back, I will definitely impress my uncle."

Shen Ling was very moved when he heard the words.

He sighed: "I'm afraid that my father will never let me go to Jiankang."

"So talk around the corner."

Shen Yi smiled: "My sister-in-law has not had a child for several years, and now she finally gave birth to a son for her elder brother. The third brother said that the son he asked for at Jiming Temple last year has now been fulfilled. He took his sister-in-law and the child to Jiankang to fulfill his wish. .”

Shen Qi said softly: "As long as you leave Jiangdu, when you come back, it's up to the third brother to decide."

Shen Ling was quite moved, and was about to speak, when the elder brother Shen Mao over there waved to the two brothers: "The third, the seventh, dad asked you to come and talk in the main room!"

The two brothers nodded helplessly, and after a reply, they came to the main hall of the Shen family together.

At this moment, Shen Hui was already sitting at the main seat in the main hall, Shen Yi's father Shen Zhang was sitting next to him, and the two brothers were drinking tea and talking.

Shen Hui picked up the tea that Shen Zhang had poured for him, lowered his head, took a sip, and sighed: "Your fourth son, although you have suffered for half your life, but fortunately, the two sons in the family are up to date, and the seventh son has already won the prize. , I heard that the old nine in your family is also very good at studying, and he will take the county test next year, right?"

Shen Zhang nodded and said with a smile: "I want to take the county exam, but he is still young, and his knowledge is not as solid as Yier's. The county exam is just for fun, and he may not be able to pass the county exam."

This sentence is Shen Zhang's biggest misunderstanding of his youngest son Shen Heng.

Although Shen Heng is two or three years younger than his elder brother Shen Yi, his ability to read is far better than Shen Yi's. At this moment, when it comes to the basic skills of the Four Books and Five Classics, Shen Heng is even better than Shen Yi.

What Shen Heng lacked was writing essays and policy theory.

To put it bluntly, it is the ability to write small compositions.

But as long as the foundation is solid and the ability to write small essays, after one or two years of learning, it will gradually look good.

While the two brothers were talking, Shen Yi and Shen Ling walked into the main hall together. Shen Ling walked up to his father and bowed his head respectfully.

Shen Yi also stepped forward to salute, and called "Uncle".

Shen Hui glanced at his son, then looked at Shen Yi, with a kind and gentle smile on his face.

"Qilang has made a big face for our Shen family. Uncle has already written to your two elder brothers of the second uncle's family. Let them come to Jiangdu to celebrate the New Year this year. Our Shen family will get together and have a good time."

After saying this, Shen Hui paused, and then asked Shen Yi: "I heard from your father that Qilang is going to Jiankang to test Chunwei after the Chinese New Year?"

"Yes."

Shen Yi smiled politely: "I discussed it with the gentlemen of the academy, and they also agreed for my nephew to give it a try. Anyway, there is no disadvantage if you try it. The worst thing is to take the exam again in a few years."

Here, Shen Yi has already seen that Shen Hui wants to persuade himself to take the exam in two years.

Therefore, he directly moved out the master from the academy.

Who is his teacher in the academy?
Lu Anshi Master Lu!A second-class Jinshi of the imperial court, a serious Jiangzuo Confucian!

Whether it's fame, official position, or influence, Mr. Lu beat Shen Yi's uncle in every way.

Therefore, Shen Hui was also choked and speechless. After he coughed, he shook his head helplessly: "It's not that I'm afraid that you won't pass, but I just think that Qilang won No. 7 in the provincial examination at such a young age. It would be a pity to win the first-class Jinshi next year, if you have a chance to win the first-class Jinshi."

There are only three people in Yijia, the so-called No. [-] Scholar, No. [-] and Tanhua.

"Forget it, since Mr. Lu has arranged it like this, we parents don't have to interfere. If you want to go to Jiankang, you can do it yourself. Anyway..."

Speaking of this, Shen Hui glanced at Shen Ling who was standing cautiously by the side, and snorted, "No matter what, he is much better than your third brother."

Shen Ling was originally a person with a bit of face, but when his father said that to his face, his face immediately turned red, he bowed his head and was speechless.

Shen Yi frowned.

He first looked at the father and son, then took a step forward, cupped his hands at Shen Hui and said, "Uncle, there is nothing inferior to my nephew. If it wasn't for my third brother last year, my nephew wouldn't even be able to get out of the county prison." , not to mention taking the Jinshi exam.”

"The sages said that people have different endowments."

Shen Yi let out a foul breath, and said, "Third brother may not like reading very much, but it is not his fault that he doesn't like reading. In life, you don't have to study, you have to get some fame."

Shen Hui frowned.

As a junior, it is very rude for Shen Yi to speak directly to his elders like this. However, Shen Yi has a high status in the Shen family now, and it is not easy for Shen Hui to get angry with Shen Yi.

Shen Zhang on the side immediately patted the table and glared at Shen Yi: "Nonsense! Why are you talking to your uncle?"

Shen Yi bowed his head and bowed to Shen Hui, then turned his head and pulled Shen Ling, and said, "Third brother, let uncle and father catch up on the old days, let's go out brother."

Shen Ling glanced at Shen Hui with some fear, then at Shen Yi, and mustered up the courage to walk out of the main hall of his home with Shen Yi.

Just after going out again, Shen Ling gritted his teeth.

"Qilang, after the new year, I will go to Jiankang with you!"

Shen Laosan clenched his fists hard, his eyes were red with anger.

"If I don't come out like a human being in this life, I will never go back to Jiangdu again!"
