marquis of jingan

Chapter 64

Shen Yi's father, Shen Zhang, left Jiangdu more than ten years ago and went to Jiankang capital to make a living. At that time, Shen Yi was only five years old, and his younger brother Shen Heng was not long after he was born.

A few years later, my mother also fell ill and died, leaving only the two brothers in Jiangdu to depend on each other. So far, the two brothers have been living in Jiangdu for six or seven years.

Fortunately, his father, Shen Zhang, quickly gained a foothold in Jiankang, and he often sent money back. The two brothers had elder brother Shen Ling to take care of them, so life was not particularly difficult.

The two brothers have the same father and the same mother, and they grew up together. Naturally, their relationship is very good. After Shen Yi was admitted to Ganquan Academy, the younger brother Shen Heng quarreled at home for several days before he would give up.

Under this premise, Shen Yi of course wanted to bring his brother with him.

Shen Heng has been intelligent since he was a child. This is definitely true. He entered a private school at the age of seven, and now it has been five years. As early as two or three years ago, he was able to read the Four Books and Five Classics.

Some time ago, Shen Yi often went back to Jiangducheng's home, and would also test Shen Heng's knowledge, and found that Shen Heng's education level was almost on par with his elder brother.

Therefore, Shen Yi wanted to bring this brother to Ganquan Academy to receive better "educational resources".

After all, although he is no different from the original Shen Yi, there shouldn't be any major problems in the examination of scholar, but whether he can succeed in the examination of Juren and Jinshi in the future is really unknown.

Instead of this, it is better to do both.

At the same time as I took the exam, I also dragged my brother Shen Heng to Ganquan Academy, so that I could take the exam a few years earlier, maybe...

Maybe I will fail the exam in the future, but my younger brother will pass the exam?

Cultivating a prime minister brother is no different from Shen being a prime minister himself.

With this in mind, Shen Yi took the risk to recommend Shen Heng in front of Master Lu. Fortunately, Master Lu, who has always been rigid, actually acquiesced in Shen Yi's "going through the back door" this time and agreed to Shen Heng's coming to the academy to "try it out".

This made Shen Yi very happy.

Because Ganquan Academy rarely has students under the age of 14.

Although the academy did not expressly stipulate this matter, due to the strict admission requirements, except for some prodigy children with background, it is absolutely difficult for others to enter the academy before the age of 15.

If Shen Heng can enter the academy to study, he will be "jumping a grade". In the future, the masters of the academy will guarantee him to go to the scholar examination. If all goes well, maybe there will be a child prodigy in the old Shen family!
After Lu Shanchang nodded and agreed, Shen Yi was overjoyed. He asked Mr. Qin for leave that afternoon, and then took a detour and returned to his home in Jiangdu.

The reason why he took a detour was because he was afraid that Fan Dongcheng would find someone to block him. After all, Chen Qing's lesson was not far away. Shen Yi had just started a new life, and it was not like being killed by someone inexplicably.

Even if you don't get killed, it won't feel good to be beaten up.

After returning home, before evening, Shen Qilang bought a roast chicken on the street, packed some stewed vegetables, and brought them home.

After shopping, Shen Yi came to the gate of Shen Heng's private school, waiting for his younger brother to leave school.

The reason why he came here to wait was because Shen Heng would go to his elder brother Shen Ling's house for dinner after school on weekdays, and he would only go home after eating.

When the sun was setting, Shen Heng's thin figure finally appeared in front of Shen Yi. After seeing Shen Yi from a distance, he hesitated for a while, then rushed over immediately, stretched out his hand to hold Shen Yi's sleeve, very happy .

"Brother, you are back!"

Shen Yi smiled and nodded, and said: "I bought food outside, so I won't go to the third brother's house for dinner today, let's go home and eat."

Shen Heng nodded quickly, then looked up at Shen Yi, and asked, "Brother, do you want to go to the third brother's house to say hello, otherwise it's not very good."

"I went there just now."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "The third sister-in-law is at home, I told the third sister-in-law, you don't have to go."

Shen Heng nodded obediently, followed behind Shen Yi, and bounced back home.

After returning home, Shen Yi found out the steamed buns that were kept warm in the pot, and put the roast chicken and side dishes on the table. After a busy meal, the two brothers sat opposite each other at the same table.

At this time, when Shen Heng stood up, he was already as high as Shen Yi's shoulders, and the two of them were sitting on the chair, with almost no difference in size.

Shen Yi looked at the younger brother sitting in front of him, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

Although he is a man of the second generation, he has inherited all the memories of Shen Yi, as well as his emotions. He clearly remembers that when his mother passed away and the two brothers knelt before his mother's spirit, Shen Heng was still a little boy. One, it seems that a gust of wind can blow it down.

"Before you know it, my little brother is about to grow up."

Shen Yi said with emotion.

Shen Heng first looked at the roast chicken on the table, then looked up at Shen Yi, blinked his eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are only 16 years old, you have not been crowned, you have not grown up, how can you say that?" Are you saying something like that from an adult?"

"It's just a little emotion in my heart."

Shen Yi stretched out his hand to compare the height of the table, and said with emotion: "When A Niang left, you were just as tall as this table."

When mentioning the deceased mother, the smile on Shen Heng's face disappeared all of a sudden, Shen Yi knew that he had said something wrong, shook his head and said: "Okay, don't talk about anything else, let's eat."

Only then did Shen Heng nodded quickly, and moved his chopsticks directly.

After the two brothers ate half of their meal, Shen Yi took a look at Shen Heng and said, "Little brother, you told me last time that you also want to go to the academy to study. This morning, I went to see Mr. Lu Shan of the academy. What Shan Chang means is that you can go to the academy to study, but you must pass Mr. Qin's examination."

"tomorrow…"

Shen Yi paused, and continued: "Tomorrow morning, let's go to the academy together, and I will take you to see Mr. Qin, and you should perform well with Mr. Qin. If you perform well, our brothers can be in Let's read together."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi smiled at Shen Heng and said, "There is no shortage of scholars and masters in the academy. If you perform well, someone will guarantee you next year and let you take the county examination."

Hearing Shen Yi's words, the chopsticks in Shen Heng's hands stopped in mid-air. After a few breaths, the bowls and chopsticks in his hands fell on the table, and then Shen Heng stood up directly, staring blankly at his Brother, murmured: "Brother, what you...are saying is true?"

Shen Yi smiled.

"When did brother lie to you?"

Shen Heng took several deep breaths, and after a long time, he looked at Shen Yi and swallowed: "Brother, I can't go to the academy with you tomorrow morning."

Shen Yi frowned and asked, "Why?"

"Mr. Liang from the private school has taught my younger brother for five years. Although my younger brother is going to study in Ganquan Academy, I have to remember Mr. Liang's kindness."

He looked at Shen Yi and murmured: "Brother, come with me tomorrow, we two will go shopping in the street and go to Mr. Liang's house. Thank you, Mr. Liang."

"In the afternoon, I'll go to the academy with you again."

Hearing Shen Heng's words, Shen Yi glared at the guy, and cursed with a grumpy smile: "Good boy, you just want to say goodbye to Mr. Liang before you pass the academy's examination!"

"If you can't get through the academy, you still have to study with Mr. Liang!"

Little Shen Heng looked at his elder brother with bright eyes.

"Brother, I will definitely pass the academy's assessment!"
