The Pastoral Life of a Reborn Farmer

The villagers stopped eating, and they all squeezed to the door, forming a semicircle outside the door, while the children squeezed forward and stood inside the house. "Leave a way, Lizheng is here, Lizheng is here." There was a commotion in the crowd, and Lizheng walked over from the crowd with a bad face, looked at Shen Zhibo and said, "What's the matter! It's a happy day, Can't you be quiet?"

Shen Ling lowered his head and rubbed his eyes desperately, making the eye circles red. He raised his head with an expression of aggrieved but suppressed, "Uncle, it's okay, I'm joking with my father! My father didn't Hit me." As he said, he tightly covered his arm with one hand, making a look that he couldn't bear the pain.

It was the first time for Lizheng to see Shen Ling in such an aggrieved manner. He was surprised and angry at the same time. The new boy from their village was beaten by his father at his celebration banquet. Give him a slap in the face!In the future, he will go to other villages to say something. There are two boys in our village. When someone else says something, I know one of them. He said that he was beaten by his father at a banquet. Where should he put his face? !

Li Zheng became more and more angry as he thought about it, and looked at Shen Zhibo and said, "Tell me, what is it worth beating your son in public? Don't say it's a separation, even if there is no separation, Shen Er is so old, he still needs to be tested. Going to Tongsheng and having a family, it’s not something you can do if you say you can do it! Where do you let him put his face, do you think he’s still a kid rolling all over the floor?!”

Shen Zhibo was scolded for a moment. He had a son named Shen San, who always regarded himself as the future old man. Holding his nose and scolding in public, Shen Zhibo's face was flushed, and he didn't react for a while.

In fact, Li Zheng scolded Shen Zhibo not only because of his beating of Shen Ling, but also because of Shen San's failure to be a scholar.Shen San was ill, he suppressed the villagers not to say anything more, so as not to cause more trouble and embarrassment to Shen San, he also knew that Shen San just failed the exam once.

However, he knows that he knows, but it doesn't mean that he has no resentment in his heart. Originally, at this moment, he should sit in the home of a rich family in the town and let others treat each other with a smile. He doesn't talk about showing off his power within a hundred miles, but wherever he goes, people have to smile with him. After all, he is the patriarch of the young scholar clan, isn't he?Shen Sancai was able to pass the examination as a scholar in his teens, so it is not safe to be a scholar, and if he is a Jinshi after that, he will become an official!The patriarch of the official family, who would dare not accompany a smiling face in the countryside? !

This is what Lizheng has always wanted to see the most, but all of this came to an abrupt end because of Shen San's failure. Childhood is worthless, talent is also worthless, and you don't even need to care too much about it. Everyone only cares about you Qian Cheng, a scholar in his teens and a scholar in his twenties give people a different feeling, and the glory he brings is also very different. How can he not let Li Zheng hold back his anger and let it out unconsciously.

Shen Zhibo trembled his lips, he didn't speak for a long time, Lizheng vented a bit and realized that he shouldn't have scolded Shen Zhibo just now, after all, this is Shen San's biological father, right?Li Zheng restrained his anger, and said in a gentle voice: "Forget it, today is a good day, even if there is something wrong with Shen Er, you can talk about it in private, why bother to scold in public? Make people laugh." Li Zheng The matter of Shen Zhibo's beating has been blurred.

"That's right! Dad, what's wrong with me, you can just tell me in private, why do you need to do it? I'm really busy today, look at me, I have invited a bunch of uncles, brothers, aunts and sisters-in-law, and I really can't spare It's time to listen to your instruction, please take a seat!" Shen Ling's expression was indifferent, aggrieved, and inadvertently clicked on the matter of Shen Zhibo's beating.

Li Zheng didn't say anything this time, the other villagers were already a little unhappy seeing Shen Zhibo's expression, and they were all waiting to do business with Shen Ling!And, what happened to Shen Ling?About to be beaten?You need character and character, you need to be filial and filial, you need to be talented and talented, you are hardworking and able to read and write, and you have nothing to say to the villagers. Why are you about to be beaten? Although beating children is common in rural areas, However, beating a son who has separated from the family in public is really too much, not to mention that this son is quite popular in the village.

But everyone didn't say anything, the host family said they were going to sit down for dinner, Li Zheng didn't speak, and they couldn't say anything, but they couldn't stop them from whispering to each other, and the voice was quite loud.

"What do you think Uncle Shen actually hit Shen Er? If I had such a son, it would definitely hurt my heart and lungs. I wouldn't be willing to beat him."

"That's right, how good is Shen Er, the family has only been separated for a few days, the family has a house, land, chickens and ducks have been raised, and even the children have passed the entrance examination, what a talent this is, and he is obedient and sensible, He is kind to the villagers, and he is filial and polite, so why would he be willing to beat him? I think Shen San is the only son in Uncle Shen's eyes!"

"Didn't Shen San fail the exam this time?"

Everyone looked at each other, chatting more and more enthusiastically.

Shen Ling didn't seem to hear it. Shen Zhibo sat on the chief seat, fidgeting, but he didn't know how to stop others, and was very annoyed.If San'er had passed the examination as a scholar, it would be his family who held the banquet today, and the one who was praised by everyone would be his most beloved third son, how could he be discussed and laughed at by these ignorant mud legs!Shen Zhibo's face turned red and white.

Shen Ling walked towards the kitchen. Han Shi was sitting in front of the stove and lighting the fire. This was the job Shen Ling had arranged for him. He was neither tired nor had to go out to meet people, so as not to be too nervous to speak, but to be missed by others.Shen Ling still remembers the last time Li Zheng stared at Han Shi for a long time as soon as he entered the door. Although Shen Ling didn't know what Li Zheng meant, he could guess that Li Zheng must be thinking about something related to Han Shi That's what happened, and he didn't want Li Zheng to see Han Shi again for the time being.

"Everyone, aunts, aunts and sisters-in-law, I am tired." Shen Ling bowed with fists as soon as he entered the door.

When everyone turned their heads and saw Shen Ling coming in, they all laughed, "We're not tired, we're all used to it."

"That's right! Master Tongsheng, today is your big day. You haven't gone out to entertain guests. What are you doing in this kitchen? The banquet will start soon, so don't worry."

"That's good, sorry everyone." Shen Ling bowed again, walked towards Han Shi, bent down and asked softly, "Do you want to eat something? Are you hungry?"

Just as Han Shi was about to open his mouth to speak, he heard laughter from the people around him, "Okay, Master Tongsheng, don't worry, I promise to take good care of your daughter-in-law, so that she won't be tired, cold or hungry."

Han Shi blushed, lowered his head, Shen Ling stood up straight with a smile, did not refute, let alone blushed, and said to the crowd: "Then thank you all aunts and sisters-in-law." He left the kitchen with a smile and went back to the main table.

In the house, there were still women teasing Han Shi, "Shen Er is really kind to you!" Han Shi lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "He...he is very kind to me. "

Seeing that Han Shi was so dull, everyone remembered that Shen Ling's daughter-in-law was bought from Han Zhuang. It's not a good pair. I heard that Shen Er's daughter-in-law can't speak. She is as thin as a bean sprouts. Although she doesn't look like a bean sprouts now, she is really timid, and she won't pick it up. Talking nonsense, I don't think there is any good craftsmanship, otherwise, why didn't Shen Ling let his own wife cook, but instead invited outsiders, and only let Han Shi light the fire?

Thinking about it this way, and taking another look at the good clothes Han Shi was wearing, everyone felt a little complicated, this is fate!How many twins can only be served as emperors, as successors, or married to poor families, except for those who are particularly outstanding, few people can marry better than women, but I don’t want a twin who is worse than ordinary twins, In the end, their lives were better than all of them. They were dressed in fine cotton cloth, and there were white jade-like bottles at home. Some of them had seen this kind of bottle before. It was an expensive thing that only the big families in the town would buy. Han Shi is really Fell into the Fu Nest.

Han Shi sensitively felt that the atmosphere in the kitchen was a bit strange, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he could only keep his head down and keep burning the fire. For a while, the room was very quiet, only the sound of cutting vegetables and boiling water.

In the yard outside the house, Shen Ling stood up with a smile, holding a wine glass in his hand, and shouted to everyone: "My fellow countrymen, please listen to me."

The noise of talking, eating and drinking gradually stopped, and everyone looked at Shen Ling. Shen Ling continued: "Everyone is from the same village, so I won't say those silly things anymore." Shen Ling smiled , "Thank you all for coming to the banquet to celebrate my passing the Tongsheng exam."

"Master Tong Sheng is too polite." A young man shouted loudly.

"Don't dare to be, dare not be!" Shen Ling quickly waved his hands, "What kind of master Tongsheng, I can't afford to be, besides, what a good master Tongsheng is, don't praise me!" Shen Ling's movements were exaggerated, and his expression was very frightened , I knew it was fake at a glance, and everyone laughed.

Shen Ling also laughed and scratched her head shyly, "I'm just lucky. If someone like me who has never been to school can pass the Tongsheng exam, it's because the ancestral grave is smoking."

Everyone felt very refreshed when they heard this. Isn't Shen Ling's ancestral grave their ancestral grave?Really good at talking.

"Of course, it's not just about this matter. Everyone knows that recently I have helped a young master, made a small fortune, and started such a family business. Although the money? I have already spent seven or eight dollars. It’s eight, but I’ve already started to buy everything that should be done in this house. I think there will be no problem in living in the future. What about my new house! I haven’t warmed up the house since it was built. I'm warming the room, and I'm here to thank everyone again." Shen Ling cupped his hands again.

"Okay!" The villagers all laughed, seeing the lively atmosphere, and some applauded.

"Okay, I don't have anything to say. Everyone, please take a seat and move your chopsticks." Shen Ling sat down with a smile.
