The Pastoral Life of a Reborn Farmer

Shen Ling put down all the work at hand and started to concentrate on reviewing the poems and books. All the things were handed over to Han Shi and others. Stacks of paper and a writing brush are used as encouragement. There are not many things, but it also shows Li Zheng's attitude.

Whether there are more children or scholars in the village, to Lizheng, it is a political achievement and an honor, but what he sent to the Shen family's old house was a complete set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, which shows how much he attaches importance to Shen San.

Shen Ling occasionally went out to breathe, and the frequency of being watched by the villagers was much higher. Some women leaned together and whispered together. When Shen Ling saw it, she just walked over, smiling, and said with a soft smile: "Aunts What is sister-in-law talking about here?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Several people laughed flatteringly for a moment, and someone couldn't help asking; "I heard that you know the son of the Futai family, can he guarantee you to pass the child's exam?"

"What did Auntie say? If you say this and let Master Futai hear it, it's not good to blame Auntie, in case it will bring trouble to the clan."

Several people turned pale, and quickly waved their hands, "Where there is nothing! We never said such a thing."

Shen Ling smiled and nodded, "Actually, I have nothing to do with the young master of the Futai family. I just passed by and saw him injured by a wild beast, so I helped him casually and took him to the inn on the way. No, he Only then did the servant come over and help me clean up the whole place, if I really have any great kindness to him, can I still live in the village?"

After thinking about it for a few people, this is indeed the truth. If the relationship with the son of the Futai family is really good, Shen Er would have gone to live in the town, or even the city, why are they still in the village? It seems that the two of them are really There is nothing special about it, and several people are a little disappointed, thinking that this is different from what they imagined.

However, some people still asked unwillingly, "Didn't that young master give you a gift? I heard that the rich and the rich will give us a lifetime of rewards."

"Yes! My land is all spent."

Shen Ling completely pushed the matter of buying a new land on Mu Hongyuan. Anyway, he also needed to explain the origin of the money, and Mu Hongyuan happened to be the top of the tank.

That's it!Everyone was even more disappointed, Shen Ling spent a lot of money to buy the land, everyone saw this, and secretly laughed at him, whoever has money is not saved by himself, but spends it so lavishly Yes, what a waste!Let's see what they will take care of when they have a baby.

"Then, I heard that your third brother is going to take the exam for a scholar, do you want to go too?"

"What I want to test is not a scholar, but a student." Shen Ling explained.

One of the older women said disapprovingly: "Why do you say you are wasting this money! Your third brother is going, he is a talented scholar, and it is like going through the motions, how about you? Isn't this a waste of money?" ?If you have the time to take care of the chickens yourself, how much does it cost to hire someone to make chicken coops and watch the venue? You can do it yourself! If you don’t want to do it yourself, isn’t there Han Shi? He is a good hand at work, and he used to do all the work of the Han family by himself, what's wrong with making some chicken coops to feed the chickens? What a waste."

A cold look flashed in Shen Ling's eyes, but it wasn't aimed at this woman who was self-sufficient, but what she meant. All the work of the Han family was done by Han Shi alone?What a great uncle!

The corner of Shen Ling's mouth raised a smile, but there was no warmth at all, and several people couldn't see it. They continued to babble, as if they had finally found a topic to dig deeper, and people kept interrupting to express their agreement.

"That's right! From the second Shen's family, tell me, we are all country people and have never been to school. Can this test be enough to know a few words? If this boy is so easy to test, then what is my natal nephew doing?" You still want to be the shopkeeper, don't you take the exam?"

"That's right, that's right." Everyone nodded, thinking that Shen Ling was a waste of money.

Shen Ling smiled, "It's okay, I just take the exam casually, what if I pass the exam? After all, I am also Shen San's elder brother, what if I fall into his favor? Then he will be admitted as a scholar, and I will be admitted as a child student." , is also a good thing!"

Several people glanced at each other, but they didn't speak. Some curled their lips in disapproval. Anyway, no matter what Shen Ling said, they didn't believe that Shen Er, who had never been to school for a day, could be admitted to Tongsheng. How about their relatives, those relatives and nephews who went to school and could only go out to be apprentice shopkeepers?Are they all stupid?

Shen Ling didn't explain, seeing that the crowd didn't intend to chat with him a few more words, so he turned around and went back. It would be better not to breathe out than to come out to breathe!

"Second Brother Shen." Shen Jiamei didn't know when she came over, Shen Ling paused, and turned to look at the person coming.

Shen Jiamei is holding a laundry basin, wearing a wooden hairpin on her hair, wearing a long skirt, with a smile on her face, her eyes seem to be complicated, Shen Jiamei has never thought about it, but in just one or two months, Shen Er actually has After such an earth-shaking change, at the very beginning, she was still joking that Chen Qiaoer fell in love with Shen Er. She had poor eyesight, and it was still a joke to waste all her effort, but she didn't expect Shen Er to turn over in such a short time. It's almost finished, and there are still two yards, full of chickens and ducks, and I know the son of Futai, and I have to go to the children's exam!

This is really a turnaround!

Shen Ling thought for a while, this is not the Shuang'er she saw when she was selling Spring Festival couplets, the one who looks like a man, but acts like a woman.

Shen Ling subconsciously took two steps back. This kind of sight of a monster approaching, as expected, Han Shi, who has been wearing men's clothing, is cuter.

Shen Jiamei didn't seem to notice it, she still said enthusiastically: "Second brother Shen, do you want to go back? Let's go together!"

Shen Ling couldn't refuse, but kept a little distance, as if thinking of something, asked suspiciously: "Shall we drop by?"

Shen Jiamei froze for a moment, then smiled happily, "I'm going to visit Aunt Cui's house."

"Oh." Shen Ling stopped talking.

Seeing that they were getting farther and farther away from the women behind them, Shen Jiamei suddenly said in a low voice, "Someone framed you for selling Spring Festival couplets."

Shen Ling paused, "Who?" He remembered that the Spring Festival couplets he sold all over the town were written by Shen San, and a series of things happened in the end. If it was not malicious, who would deliberately say that the Spring Festival couplets he sold were written by Shen San? written by three? !

"It's your natal aunt of your sister-in-law's family, she spread the word everywhere, and Chen Qiao'er, he fell in love with you, and later inquired about you, knowing that you were seriously ill and the family was poor, so he became angry and talked about you outside."

Shen Ling's memory is not bad, so when Shen Jiamei mentioned it, he remembered who these two people were, and said, "How do you know?"

"I know Chen Qiaoer! He said everywhere that of course I know. As for your sister-in-law's family, I've also heard about it, but it's probably her." Shen Jiamei said weakly, making an innocent and sincere gesture.

"Why did you tell me? Don't you know Chen Qiaoer?"

"I can't get used to him anymore. He's aloof all day long and looks like no one looks down on him, Second Brother Shen! Don't you think it's funny? She didn't like you before, but now, she likes you again!" Shen Jiamei was a bit of a joke, and he didn't believe that Shen Er could have a good impression of Chen Qiaoer after hearing what he said. If Chen Qiaoer really tried to find ways to be with Shen Er, then some people would watch the show. Sometimes it can be embarrassing.

There was some excitement in Shen Jiamei's eyes, Shen Ling could see it clearly, and had to feel that even Shuang'er could really show the demeanor of a woman's intrigue. This is obviously envy and hatred for Chen Qiaoer, and she wants to use him as a raft!However, he felt that what Shen Jiamei said should be true. At least, in his guess, there was also Chen Qiaoer, the aunt of his sister-in-law's family. Personally, it is not enough to make troubles all over the city.

"I see, thank you for telling me." Shen Ling nodded.

"Second brother Shen, Chen Qiao'er is so pretty! You don't mind her scolding you behind your back, you like her face?" Shen Jiamei asked suspiciously, how could she be so calm?This is completely different from what she imagined.

"No way! Chen Qiaoer is not as beautiful as you!" Shen Ling opened his eyes and said nonsense: "It's just that he is a twin, so I can't say anything, anyway, I have a plan in my heart."

It was the first time for Shen Jiamei to be praised that she was prettier than Chen Qiaoer, she immediately smiled and said with a smile: "You just need to understand it in your heart."

After Shen Ling bid farewell to Shen Jiamei, she returned home, put everything Shen Jiamei said behind her, and concentrated on preparing for the exam. At this moment, Shen San and Shen San were being treated with unprecedented honor.

Shen's mother held a bowl of egg drop soup and gently knocked on the door and walked into Shen San's study room. Shen San looked up and did not speak. Shen's mother had already put the bowl on the corner of Shen San's desk, her face was almost Laughing like a flower, she has been treated differently when she walks in the village these days. Everyone knows that her son is going to be a scholar. She will be an old lady by then, how can we not make her smile.

"San'er, drink some soup before reading! Make up for it, and then you can get a good ranking."

"Thank you mother, I'll drink later." Shen San said expressionlessly, the book in his hand hadn't been turned for a long time, he was afraid, he was really afraid that he would fail the exam.

"Oh, good, read your book carefully! Tell mother what you want to eat, and mother will not bother you."

"En." Shen San nodded.

Outside the study, his youngest nephew, Shen Niu, suddenly cried out for some reason, and was immediately covered with his mouth, so he could only make a muffled whining sound.Shen San clearly heard his sister-in-law yelling in a low voice outside, "Stop howling, carefully disturb your third uncle's reading, if it interferes with his exam, see if I won't smash your ass."

Shen Niu's cry became low and gradually became inaudible. Shen San withdrew his attention and tried to concentrate on the book, but felt that the book in front of him seemed to weigh a thousand catties, making him feel out of breath.
