The ugly husband of the sturdy peasant girl is spoiled by the sky

Chapter 156 Shen Wangzu's imperial examination fraud (2 more

Qingqing nodded with a smile.

"It's such a big yard, and I don't come back often, what a waste!" Shu Xin said, entering the house.

There are tables and desks in the small hall, and nice landscape paintings hang on the walls.

On the other side is the place to sleep.

The large carved bed is covered with a satin quilt, which looks festive and comfortable.

Shu Xin stepped forward and touched it, "It's so smooth!"

"Aunt Liu made this herself, and I arranged it with Pearl. Do you like it?" Qingqing asked.

"I like it, but I like it, I like everything in this room, it suits my liking!" Shu Xin touched here and there.

Qingqing looked at it, pursed her lips and smiled slightly.

Shen Duowang watched from the door, thinking that the room should be arranged like this when the time comes.

Shu Xin likes it.

He would most like to see Shu Xin happy.

When Old Man Shen and Mrs. Shen and Li arrived in the town together, they went to the dental shop.

The prostitute smiled and said, "Nowadays the world is not good, and this woman is not worth much. Generally, anyone who wants to buy a woman buys a maid or a servant. I have one here that sells for ten taels of silver. If you want it, take it away! "

"Twelve taels, it's too expensive!" Shen Li was the first to refuse.

Old man Shen said lightly, "Bring him out to have a look first!"

"well!"

The matchmaker smiled and immediately brought the old woman up.

It was a thin, tall middle-aged woman.

Shen Lishi looked at her and saw that her complexion was yellow, her forehead was protruding, and her whole body was shriveled.

"Can you cook?" Shen Li asked softly.

"Return to Madam, yes, the woman helped out in the restaurant earlier, but she escaped after a fight, and sold herself when she had no way out!"

"Who else is there in your family?"

"My husband and children are separated, and I don't know if they are dead or alive!"

Shen Li didn't have much sympathy at first, she just continued to buy someone to go back to do the laundry, cook, and clean the house.

Looking at old man Shen, "Old man, what do you think?"

Old man Shen looked at the woman, thought for a while and said, "Let's make it cheaper, ten taels of silver is too expensive!"

"Yes, ten taels of silver is too expensive, and five taels of silver is about the same!" Shen Li said.

"Madam, ten taels of silver is already a big asking price. In today's world, how dare I ask for a price!" The prostitute said, also wanting to make this business, "At least eight taels, no less!"

Shen Lishi looked at old man Shen.

Old man Shen nodded slightly.

"That's it, it's only eight taels of silver. You bring us her deed of selling her body, and I will pay the silver and take her away!"

"Okay, okay!"

This woman sold herself and didn't ask for money, she just wanted to have enough food, and then she could find a family to live on.

Now that eight liang of silver is in hand, the matchmaker is very satisfied.

After going to get the woman's contract of prostitution, Shen Li learned that the woman was called Jiu Niang.

Old Man Shen and Mrs. Shen and Li hailed a bullock cart and took Jiuniang back to Shenjia Village.

On the way, I learned that Shu Xin's family moved to the town today, and both Shu Xin and Shen Duowang went to the town to drink.

Shen Li was silent.

The same goes for Old Man Shen.

Jiuniang sat on the side with her head bowed, thinking about herself.

You have to settle down first, and then find an opportunity to get the deed of sale, find a husband and children, and reunite the family.

Then he quietly glanced at Old Man Shen and Mrs. Shen Li.

These two people don't seem to be very rich, so why do they need to buy someone to do laundry and cook?
Jiu Niang is a smart person, so she naturally has her own plans.

Arrived at Shen's house.

Shen Lishi gave Jiu Niang some clothes that she wore in the early years. They were all made when Shen Duowang came back and the family had money, but they couldn't wear them after getting fat.

"Go and wash, and then cook. My master and I don't have any requirements. Every meal has three dishes and one soup. There is a meat dish. You need more rice, and you can eat the rest!"

"Yes!" Jiu Niang replied.

Jiuniang took a bath first, then looked in the kitchen, found oil, salt, firewood, rice, vegetables, and meat.

After lighting the fire, they washed the pot and cooked rice quickly, and quickly prepared three dishes and one soup, and asked Mrs. Shen and old man Shen to come and eat.

Shen Li took a bite and thought it tasted good.

Old man Shen also tasted it and nodded.

It didn't matter whether Jiu Niang was hungry or not, the two of them ate the rest and said to Jiu Niang, "You eat!"

"Yes!"

Jiu Niang responded.

In fact, she had eaten a long time ago, but she was not full and did not dare to eat.

She could also see that Mrs. Shen and old man Shen didn't treat her like a human being, and she didn't want to be treated like a human being. They sat down and ate together. She knew it when she saw Mrs. Shen earlier, smiled and scooped up Sit down and eat.

This dish is good, with enough oil and water.

Jiu Niang ate very happily.

Mrs. Shen Li and Old Man Shen are very satisfied with Jiuniang's hard work. There is food at home, and meat is delivered, so there is no need to buy it. There are vegetables in the vegetable field.

There are several chickens in the backyard, and they lay eggs every day, so there is no need to buy them.

After eating well and sleeping soundly, Jiuniang's complexion improved a lot in just a few days.

He is agile in doing things and has a sweet mouth, which made Shen Li's heart burst into joy.

He was even more attentive to old man Shen, serving tea and pouring water, never delaying more than a quarter of an hour, old man Shen was very satisfied with this.

In addition, after Jiuniang's complexion recovered, she looked pretty good, and old man Shen became active again because of the little thoughts aroused by Mao'er.

Old man Shen was cautious and careful this time. If he had nothing to do, he would give Jiuniang something to eat, or give her some money. When the shopkeeper came to the village, he would ask Jiuniang to buy something...

Jiu Niang didn't even go to buy it, she saved the money.

Shen and Li didn't know anything about the secret affairs of the two of them, and they were immersed in Jiuniang's careful service all day long.

county seat
Academy
Only when Shen Wangzu came to the county seat did he realize that his little knowledge was not enough, even if he was seated in the row, he could only sit at the back.

In the middle of the first row was a young man surnamed Chen. It was said that his family background was good and his education was even better. Shen Wangzu approached him a few times to talk to him, but they didn't like to talk to him. His eyes grew on the top of his head.

Shen Wangzu had no choice but to make friends with people sitting a few rows behind like him. Two of them were not very educated and had a very good family background. One of them was surnamed Yu and the other was surnamed Xing.

On this day, Shen Wangzu invited them to the Zuixianlou in Dafeng County for dinner.

"Brother Yu, Brother Xing please!"

"Brother Shen, please!"

The three went to the private room on the second floor of Zuixian Tower.

A room like this costs four or five taels of silver for a meal, Shen Wangzu thought that his parents were rich, so he didn't care, and even felt a little bit aggressive towards the boss.

After drinking for three rounds, Shen Wangzu said, "Brother Yu, Brother Xing, the exam is about to take place, have you all finished your studies?"

"Good morning, I'm sure I'll be the top talent this time!" Yu Xing'an said with a confident look.

Shen Wangzu looked puzzled.

This Yu Xing'an, like him, has no knowledge, why is he so sure?
Looking at Xing Zimian again, he also looked confident when he saw Xing Zimian.

Shen Wangzu asked in a low voice, "Could it be that the two dear friends have some adventures?"

Yu Xing'an moved closer to Shen Wangzu, "We have a good relationship with Brother Shen, let's tell Brother Shen, I met a man a few days ago, it is said that there is a brother-in-law in the yamen, knowing this year's exam questions, Brother Xing and I bought it! "

"..."

Shen Wangzu was surprised and speechless.

Can it still be like this...

But if this is the case, what should we do if we are discovered?
But with his little knowledge, if he relied on his ability, he might not be able to pass the exam again this year.

"What do the test questions look like? How much money do you give?"

Hearing this, Yu Xing'an looked at Shen Wangzu and stretched out three fingers.

"30 taels?" Shen Wangzu asked in a low voice.

"Brother Shen, are you kidding me? How could 30 taels of silver be possible? It's 300 taels!"

300 taels...

Shen Wangzu was startled.

The total amount of silver in his hands was less than 200 taels. Xiao had silver, but he would not give it to him.

He tried twice, but Xiao Shi just looked at him so coldly.

Seeing his inexplicable guilt and uneasiness, he dismissed the idea of ​​asking Mrs. Xiao for the money.

"I, I have to think about it!"

"Okay, brother Shen, think about it slowly!"

As Yu Xing'an spoke, he and Xing Zimian ate food and drank wine.

Shen Wangzu sat there, not thinking about drinking at all.

Returning home in a daze, seeing Mrs. Xiao reading a book in the room, Shen Wangzu stepped forward and sat down beside Mrs. Xiao, "My lady..."

"What's wrong?" Xiao Shi asked casually.

She went back to her natal home for the past few days, but her natal home didn't let her in, and she couldn't find any news, so she was feeling uneasy.

Shen Wangzu whispered a few words in Xiao's ear, and Xiao looked at Shen Wangzu in astonishment and shock, "Aren't you crazy? This is a fraud. If you are found out, you will be imprisoned, and you will be sent to the frontier. Don't be confused!"

"But with my knowledge, I'm afraid I won't be admitted as a scholar!" Shen Wangzu said, feeling discouraged.

"What's the rush, I'm not walking towards my mother's house. When I see my uncle, the matter of your talent will not be settled yet!"

When Shen Wangzu heard it, he felt it made sense.

It's just that the exam this time is on March [-]rd, and it doesn't look like there are many days left.

"Then let's go to Xiao's house again tomorrow!"

"Ok!"

Xiao Shi responded.

Now that she is out of confinement, she thinks that Shen Wangzu should have sex with her, but Shen Wangzu falls asleep every night, and as a woman, she can't be ashamed not to seduce him.

I was also annoyed.

But thinking about Shen Wangzu's exams coming soon, it is understandable to study hard every day.

The next day, the two returned to Xiao's house together, but were still turned away.

Shen Wangzu's complexion was not good-looking, and Xiao's heart became more and more uneasy.

She is just a concubine from the Xiao family's concubine, not even the big maid next to the mistress in the big house, let alone in front of the old lady. But it is also determined, and absolutely does not give the bastard a chance to stir up trouble.

Her father and several uncles were very cautious and never dared to challenge the authority of the big house.

This time she was able to choose her to marry Shen Wangzu, because the aunt begged the father, and the father begged the uncle, finally chose her and gave her a decent dowry.

"Let's go, let's go back first!" Xiao said softly.

Shen Wangzu nodded.

The two went home.

Shen Wangzu pooled his own money, only 190 taels, far from 300 taels.

He decided to go home and ask Mrs. Shen and Li for money.

Dang even let Dong Lai set up the carriage and go back to Shenjia Village...

When Xiao learned that Shen Wangzu had returned to Shenjia Village, she was stunned for a while before saying, "It's better to go back and ask my mother for the money, so as not to keep staring at the money in my pocket!"

It's just that what happened to Xiao's house, the door is closed tightly, and there are very few maids and servants coming in and out...

Could it be that the old lady is sick?

But if the old lady is sick, she can't be turned away when she goes back!

Xiao's
The face of the head of the Xiao family was heavy.

No one thought that the empress in the palace would commit adultery and adultery, and was bumped into by the emperor, even if she was given dove wine.

These days, the Xiao family often took advantage of the power of the empress to do things. Now that the empress is gone, those who were suppressed by the Xiao family immediately joined forces to deal with the Xiao family.

In just a short period of time, Xiao Jiaming suffered a lot secretly and suffered heavy losses.

Those who used to give the Xiao family a lot of face refused to reveal the slightest news, and they were struggling everywhere.

The head of the Xiao family did not allow the Xiao family to come in and out at will, and the married daughter was not allowed to return to her natal family. This was also for their sake, and by the way, it also left a way out for the Xiao family.

"Master, master, the third young master sent someone to spread the word that the third young mistress is pregnant!"

"Is this true?"

After Guangyou, it is really a happy event.

Thinking of this, Master Xiao couldn't help but think of Shen Duowang.

He couldn't find out Shen Duowang's identity, so he thought he was just a nobody, so he made a move...

All the people he sent to kill Shen Duowang never came back. There were three consecutive waves of 27 people, but none of them came back.

There must be something he doesn't know about it, and someone has to find out carefully!
Now that the Xiao family is on the cusp, if one is not handled well, the Xiao family will be overthrown.

"Ugh……"

Shen Wangzu hurried home and knocked on the door, which was opened by Jiu Niang.

"You..." Shen Wangzu was puzzled.

Jiu Niang asked with a smile, "You are the young master, Madam told me about you!"

"you are?"

"I was bought by my wife to do the laundry and cook. Just call me Jiu Niang!"

Shen Wangzu nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Where are my parents?"

"Master and Madam are in the house!"

Now many families are starting to plow their fields for spring plowing. The Shen family used to have Shen Dalang and Shen Erlang, and there were not many fields. The old man discussed about contracting out the work in the field and asking someone to help plow the field and transplant rice seedlings.

It's just that the Shen family has nearly [-] mu of land, and Zhao Baotou said that if they give ten taels of silver, they will cover it all.

"This Zhao Baotou didn't expect not only to repair houses, but also to work for people!" Shen Li muttered.

Old man Shen didn't speak.

There are quite a few people under Zhao Baotou, and they can work quickly if they really want to work.

I heard that all the land of Shu Xin's family was contracted to Zhao Baotou, and now Zhao Baotou is leading people to work on the Shu family's side, and he will come back after doing a good job there.

"Old man, do you want to call the boss and the second child back?" Shen Lishi asked tentatively.

"What are you calling back for? One by one's wings are hardened, let them suffer a little outside, and then they will know that they are at home!" Old Man Shen said coldly.

He didn't say anything, but he was angry at Shen Dalang and Shen Erlang's departure in his heart.

Shen Li was silent.

"Father, mother!" Shen Wangzu yelled outside and entered the room.

Shen Lishi was overjoyed when she heard the words, "Wangzu, why are you back?"

Busily got off the kang and dragged Shen Wangzu to look left and right, "Looks a little thinner, but didn't eat well in town?"

"No, it's just that studying is harder, so I'm going to pass the exam. I'll come back and ask my mother for some money!"

Old man Shen didn't speak.

Shen Lishi smiled and said, "How much do you want?"

"300 taels!" Shen Wangzu said directly.

"..."

"..."

Old man Shen and Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Li fell silent.

Shen Li still has 750 taels of silver in his hand.

If Shen Wangzu asked for three or fifty taels, she would not hesitate, but she asked for 50 taels, which was a small half.

"What do you want so much money for?" Old man Shen asked seriously.

"Father, it's like this. There is an elder brother of a classmate who is at the yamen. He said that if it is done well, this scholar will be a sure thing. I just came back to discuss it with my parents!"

"Is it safe?" Old Man Shen asked.

"Sure!"

Old man Shen was silent.

The fact that he kicked Shen Duowang out was discussed by everyone in the village and looked down on him.

It is true that Old Man Shen is a wolf-hearted man who raised Shen Duowang, but Shen Duowang has also given money for so many years. If Shen Duowang, he would not have the family he has now, and in the end he was kicked out because Shen Duowang was injured. , It's not as good as a pig or a dog.

He was on fire.

If Shen Wangzu was selected as a scholar, the villagers would not dare to talk like this anymore.

For such an important matter, Mrs. Shen and Li dare not say too much.

After a long time, old man Shen said, "His mother, give Wang Zu some money!"

Shen Lishi responded, and went to the cabinet to get 300 taels of silver.

In fact, there is only one 300 tael bank note, which is thin and doesn't hold much weight.

Mrs. Shen Li took it and handed it to Shen Wangzu, "Put it away and don't lose it, and take care of yourself. I'll ask Jiuniang to pack some food for you and take it with you. Although the food in the county is good, it's expensive. Our money Save some flowers!"

"Well, mother, don't worry, I will take good care of myself!" Shen Wangzu responded, and talked about some anecdotes in the county. , Delicate and delicious flatbread...
