Chapter 70
Shen Shuxuan took the bamboo tube Jiang Ci handed over,

The woman has gone first,

Shen Shuxuan observed the bamboo tube up and down, and then opened the lid of the bamboo tube, revealing the yellow coiled rod inside. Shen Shuxuan took a closer look and smelled it, and found a sweet fragrance coming from the coiled rod,
Take a bite, it is crispy, sweet and delicious, and there is a smell of eggs, a roll stick is eaten quickly,
The man covered the remaining sticks with a bamboo cup.

Keep up with women.

........................

At that time, Jiang Ci took advantage of the night to leave the ruined temple, and his thin figure walked alone towards the deep mountain.

In the morning, the grass and trees were full of dew, and Jiang Ci used the Solo stick to open the way. After a while, she was no longer seen at the foot of the mountain.

During the few days when Jiang Ci was away, both good and bad things happened,
Good things that happened, such as: Shen’s house with blue bricks and big tiles was built, Qian Guixiang invited Lizheng and Cunzheng, ten families who lived at the end of the village, and 20 men who helped build the house when they moved in. Lively through the greenhouse.

Everyone in the village knows that the Shen family is rich, and they have changed their attitudes one by one. Those who were hostile before are now greeted with smiles, and those who had nothing to do with each other now greet each other when they see the Shen family. Every time we meet, I have to help Shen's family carry water, or chop some firewood and send them over.

But compared to the good things that happened, there were also many bad things that happened:
For example, the income of the stall of sugar-fried chestnuts dropped by one-tenth. The reason is that Wang Xiuhong from the same village used 6 ren per catty of sugar-fried chestnuts at a super low price, and cut off two stalls in Jiangci East and West Street.

Another example is Mrs. Shen and several daughter-in-laws making a scene in front of the newly built blue-brick house of the Shen family all day long. Every time, the villagers clean up the situation, but the next day she reverted to her old ways, and then cursed Shen at the door of the Shen family. When the Dashan family got rich, they set up another family and bullied their mother.

However, although the villagers knew the cause and effect, they would not say much to Shen Dashan and Qian Guixiang, but such an old thing howling at the door all day was quite disgusting.

Another example is the food at home because Jiang Ci is the jewel in front, so Qian Guixiang is constantly criticized every time she cooks:
"Mom! You put less salt in the vegetables you cook! There is no taste at all! Sister-in-law's cooking is much more delicious than yours."

"This dish also tastes dry. Mother, you must not add oil. Didn't my sister-in-law buy a lot of peanut oil? Why don't you put it in?"

"Guixiang, I don't want to learn from these two little bastards. I think your cooking is delicious. It's just that I'm really full. Half a bowl is enough for me. Don't always give me a full bowl! I eat it in the afternoon. I bought a lot of preserved fruit and jerky made by Xiaoci, I can’t finish eating so much!”

Every time before eating, there must be such a family war going on in the Shen family. The result is that Jiang Ci has been raised for a few days, and finally made the complexions of the few people ruddy. After Qian Guixiang's cooking skills, the complexion of the few people It's sallow again.

On the third night after Jiang Ci left, Shen Yunhe couldn't bear it anymore, and came over and knocked on Shen Shuxuan's door:
"Brother, it's been three days. Is my sister-in-law still not coming back? I'm familiar with the medicinal materials that my sister-in-law taught me. I've even tried to make a few medicines. I want my sister-in-law to guide me... Okay! I I miss my sister-in-law! My sister-in-law is not here, so I don’t have the energy to do anything.”

Shen Yunhe pitifully put her little head on Shen Shuxuan's desk, like an abandoned puppy.

"You didn't have your sister-in-law before, and you have been here for 12 years, now you can't do without her?" Shen Shuxuan held a book in his hand, his eyebrows clear.

"What's the same? I didn't meet my sister-in-law before, but now I meet my sister-in-law. I feel that I have lived in vain for the past 12 years! Humph, brother, if you met my sister-in-law earlier and wanted to marry her back, I would have met my sister-in-law earlier, saying Maybe I have already identified all the medicinal materials by now, big brother, it is all your fault, you married your sister-in-law too late."

"Heh... Let's say it now, when I first got married, who said that my wife is difficult to serve?" Shen Shuxuan put down the book, and looked at Shen Yunhe with a scrutinizing gaze.

Shen Yunhe remembered what he said before, and his face flushed with shame,

"Anyway... Anyway, it's your fault, big brother!"

After leaving a word, Shen Yunhe hurriedly fled.

Shen Shuxuan chuckled and continued to read the book,

A quarter of an hour later, the door knocking sounded again,

I saw Shen Shuxuan opened the door, and Shen Shuan's little head poked in through the crack of the door,

Afterwards, taking advantage of his small body, he got in with his whole body, and then wandered around the room, rummaging through the wardrobe for a while, drilling under the bed for a while, in short, he searched for all the places that could hide people,

Shen Shuxuan didn't speak, just sat at the desk and poured himself a cup of tea, then quietly watched Shen Shuan's movements,

It wasn't until after searching for a stick of incense that there was no one he wanted to see, Shen Shu'an gave up with a lonely face.
I'm leaving now
Shen Shuxuan snorted: "Come to your eldest brother's room, rummaged through the box, and left without talking?"

"Is there any common topic in the chat between us?" Shen Shuxuan's words were greeted with a wave of rhetorical questions from Shen Shuan,
Caught off guard, Shen Shuxuan felt the veins on his forehead twitch.

And Shen Shu'an finished asking with a serious face, then closed the door and left.

Shen Shuxuan rubbed his temples, picked up the book again,
After a stick of incense, the familiar knock on the door sounded again,
Shen Shuxuan just opened the door,
Qian Guixiang came in with an anxious expression on her face: "Sanlang, I went back and thought about it. You said that when Xiaoci returned to her mother's house, why did she leave without saying hello? Is there something wrong with me? Is she unhappy? No! It shouldn’t be me! It should be those two little bastards who made Xiao Ci unhappy! I’m going to teach those two little bastards a lesson now.”

Shen Shuxuan stopped Qian Guixiang with black hair: "Mom! That's my wife, just report to me if you leave quickly. What are you thinking?"

"Sanlang! It's not that mother said you, you said that Xiaoci is smart and capable, and she built such a big house for our family. You said that you only got the title of scholar after going to the academy for so long, you What is worthy of Xiaoci?" Qian Guixiang hated iron for being weak and gave Shen Shuxuan a fist.

Shen Shuxuan was suffering from pain, took a few steps back, and emphasized with some helplessness: "Mom! I was only 13 the year I passed the examination for a scholar, and I am already the youngest person who has ever been a scholar."

"The youngest scholar? Is it useful? Can you build a big house for our family?" Qian Guixiang asked,
Shen Shuxuan, who recognized his current disliked state, said with a dry mouth: "I can't."

This green brick and big tile house, even if you pass the Juren examination, you can't make money.

"The youngest scholar? Is it useful? Can you go to the mountains to dig medicine and sell medicinal materials to subsidize your family?"

Shen Shuxuan's mouth dried up again: "I can't."

"Return to the youngest scholar? Is it useful? Can you casually make a full banquet?"

Shen Shuxuan's throat was completely hoarse: "I can't."

"Then why are you still here to take the exam for a scholar? It's useless. I think you can hold Xiaoci with your whole body, so..."
