Chapter 707 Here comes the reward! (repair)
The old man's face finally changed, and the chopsticks he used to add food even trembled visibly to the naked eye. This old man who looked like an outsider silently put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked up at Shen Yi, and let out a silent breath.

"Say it."

Shen Yi nodded, and said silently: "There is a residence newspaper in Taizhou Mansion. I left them Gu Shi's name and told them to pay attention to Gu Shi's home."

He looked at Mr. Gu and asked, "When Master Gu left home, did the family have a son and a daughter?"

Old man Gu's face was flushed, and he bowed his head deeply: "There are mothers, brothers, wives, a son and a daughter at home..."

"That should be it."

He glanced at the old man and sighed silently: "Ms. Gu should have passed away."

"Master Gu's daughter is also married. This daughter can still find a place to go. It's just Master Gu's son..."

He bowed his head silently, took a sip of wine, and said, "After Master Gu's son grew up, he seemed to have a heart of resentment towards Master Gu, so he took his family and moved away from Taizhou Mansion, and he has not found a place yet. .”

The old man raised his head and took a sip of the strong wine, then bowed his head silently: "That child... probably because he doesn't want the old man to find him after he goes back."

"Calculate your age..."

The old man's face was full of guilt, and his voice was hoarse: "According to his age, he should be in his 40s."

He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Shen Qi, this old man wants to ask you for some money."

"Just be...just be..."

After being silent for a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Just treat it as Shu Xiu, the two of you brothers who are studying with me."

Shen Yi nodded silently, and asked, "Master Gu, do you want to send some money to your daughter?"

"Ah."

The old man nodded silently, and laughed at himself: "I don't know what else I can give her..."

Shen Yi asked again: "How much money does Master Gu want?"

"Just watch it."

The old man drank sullenly: "Give as much as you think it's worth."

"Teacher's guidance is priceless."

Shen Yi said with a smile: "In the future, our brothers will take care of Mr. Gu."

"Let the old man fend for himself."

The old man's face was full of pain, and his voice was hoarse: "Old man..."

Shen Yi walked in front of the old man and shook his head slightly: "It is true that Master Gu made a big mistake, but in the final analysis, it was because of his righteous words back then, as for not returning home..."

"I can't let go of my face, it's just a mistake."

"Thirty years of guilt, Master Gu has already been punished..."

Master Shen sighed silently, and said: "I will let them continue to inquire about the whereabouts of senior brothers from the Gu family. As for Senior Sister Gu, I will ask people to send 1000 taels of silver to them first, and any more...for fear of being coveted by evil people."

The daughter of the Gu family married an ordinary family. Although she was not poor, she was not considered rich. 1000 taels of silver was already a huge windfall for their family.

Old man Gu nodded silently, he stood up, bowed to Shen Yi and said, "Thank you Ziheng..."

Shen Yi quickly helped him up, and joked: "If I remember correctly, this is the first time Master Gu has called me Biao."

In the past, the old man always called Shen Qi Shen Qi, but he never called Shen Yi's name.

The old man was not embarrassed, and told him: "This money... should be given to my daughter, not to her husband's family and children..."

"Let her keep her own flowers."

Seeing the old man's appearance, Shen Yi felt a little emotional, and said, "The student understands."

The old man looked up at Shen Yi.

"In my lifetime, I still want to kowtow on the graves of my deceased wife and parents..."

"In the spring of next year, I will take Teacher Gu there when I have time."

"Need not."

The old man looked up at Shen Yi, and said: "Next year, Ziheng should serve in the imperial court. I can't delay your future."

After Shen Heng's pilot test, he often came to visit the old man and told him about Shen Yi's situation, so he knew Shen Yi's current situation.

"What is not for work."

Master Shen laughed at himself: "Maybe he will be thrown into a yamen like Taichang Temple, and become a idler."

…………

After leaving Dayifang, Master Shen wandered around Jiankang City by himself. When the evening approached, he went to Zhao's house again and met Zhao Shangshu.

Zhao Changping was still very enthusiastic towards Shen Yi, he dragged him to talk for a long time, and then left him to have a meal at home, and did not let Shen Yi leave until late at night.

In the next few days, apart from going out to visit friends, Shen Yi spent most of the time at home with his wife and children.

The main thing is to accompany Lu Ruoxi well.

In fact, Shen Yi thought about bringing up Ye Chan's matter with Lu Ruoxi. After all, finding a concubine outside is not a big deal in this day and age, and Lu Ruoxi won't have any objections, but Shen Yi knows Lu Ruoxi's temperament. Once she finds out about it, , Shen Yi will definitely let Shen Yi bring Ye Chan back to Jiankang.

After all, big women need to be able to manage small ones.

However, Ye Chan will still be running the Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce in Fuzhou for the past few years, and it is unlikely that she will be able to come to Jiankang, so it is better to keep this matter a secret.

Three or four days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the 21st of the twelfth lunar month in Hongde's tenth year. Shen Zhang, who had been in Jiangdu for a long time, finally returned to Jiankang. The whole family of Shen's family went out of the city to welcome Shen Zhang.

After finally meeting Shen Zhang at the gate of the city, Shen Yi stepped forward, saluted first, and then said with a smile: "If Dad doesn't come back, I will go back to Jiangdu."

Shen Zhang raised his head, looked Shen Yi up and down, sighed silently, and said, "Yi'er got a little tanned again, won't you go to the southeast next year?"

"not going."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "I should stay in Jiankang next year. Daddy, don't go back to Jiangdu next year. It's better to stay in Jiankang and bring your grandson."

"Let's talk about next year's affairs next year."

At this time, Shen Heng also stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and called out to his father.

Shen Zhang glanced his head over, ignored him, then went straight to Lu Ruoxi, squeezed a smile at Lu Ruoxi, then stretched out his hand to hug his eldest grandson Shen Yuan in his arms, and said, "The whole family ran so far to welcome you. Whatever I do, I'll go home."

Shen Yi helped Shen Heng up silently, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, take your time."

Shen Heng made his father angry because of his wife, and now he felt a little guilty, and immediately smiled wryly: "Brother, I'm not in a hurry, I'm just afraid that father won't let go..."

"I try to persuade him to do so."

The family got into the carriage one after another, and it didn't take long before they entered the Shen's house. Shen Yi accompanied the old father, and asked with a smile: "Father, how is uncle recently?"

In fact, Shen Yi didn't have much deep affection for his uncle Shen Hui. The reason why he asked this question was just to please his father. Tough, because of you... You are proud, our Shen family has glory in Jiangdu."

"correct…"

Shen Zhang thought of something, he looked at Shen Yi, and said, "Before I came to Jiankang, your uncle asked me to ask you if we could arrange for some members of the same clan of our Shen family to study in Ganquan Academy, you Uncle is now, but in his dreams, he wants his family members to enter the academy..."

Shen Yi frowned first, then stretched it out, and said with a smile: "Father, there is an entrance examination for Ganquan Academy. The family members want to enter, study hard, and just pass the entrance examination. Didn't my son pass the entrance examination by himself back then?" ?”

"Too difficult..."

Shen Zhang said helplessly: "In the first subject of Ganquan Academy, there were three Scholars. Although there are only two in this subject, they are even better..."

"Now, even scholars may not be able to enter the academy."

The previous class was Shen Yi's class, and this year's class was Shen Heng's class. Although there were only two Scholars in Shen Heng's class, there was one top three, which made Ganquan Academy famous again.

The more famous you are, the more people want to enter the academy.

Shen Yi glanced at his father, and shook his head slightly: "Father, although the head of the academy is the son's father-in-law, but the father-in-law is upright, it is impossible for him to agree to such a thing."

"It's more important."

He said, "The son doesn't even know those of the same clan."

"They thought that if they entered the academy, they would be able to pass the exam."

Shen Yi said in a deep voice: "You have the ability to enter the academy before you have the chance to pass the exam. Besides. Your two sons both entered the academy based on their real ability. How can they go through the back door?"

Shen Zhang bowed his head helplessly: "They are all from the same clan, so we can't save face."

Shen Yi sneered and said: "When we father and son were down and out, except for the third brother, the rest of the same clan, no one helped us."

After Shen Zhang heard this sentence, he hesitated to speak, and sighed, "Then how can I tell your uncle what to do as a father?"

"Father, don't worry about it."

Shen Yi said with a smile: "Afterwards, my son will write a letter to my uncle and explain this matter clearly to my uncle."

Shen Zhang nodded.

"It has to be like this."

The group of people had just returned home, and not long after they sat down, a servant came to report in a hurry, bowed their heads to Shen Yi and said, "My lord, the imperial decree has arrived!"

Shen Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then he could only let the family go out to receive the imperial edict.

When everyone arrived at the front yard, they saw two eunuchs holding wooden boxes in their hands. After the Shen family arrived, one of the eunuchs took out the imperial decree from the wooden box and sang loudly.

"The system said."

"Shen Yi, a former scholar of the Hanlin Academy, fought against the Japanese in the southeast, made great contributions in supervising the city shipping department, and wrote Dr. Jin Zhongshun..."

"Military selection department doctor of the military deployment department."

"I will take up the post after the next year, so please!"
