Transmigrated into the Pastoral Scenery

That is to say, it is not really that it is useless to question the magistrate, in fact, he knows very well that it is very useful to invite the magistrate to visit him.He said: "In this case, I will trouble you to write to the second brother and ask him to arrange it earlier."

"Well, I have my own opinion on this matter." Mr. Shen stroked his beard and went back into the study to write a letter to his second son, Shen Dongqi.

The eldest son of the Shen family, far away at the foot of Xiaoliang Mountain, also heard that the students of the Shen family's private school were leaving.It turned out to be like this. In the past two days, parents suddenly came to inquire, asking if they would recruit students who had studied in other private schools.

Where else could it be, it must be the Shen family's private school.

Song Jingwei replied: "Recruitment, as long as you are willing to come, we will accept it. A student will be two taels of silver, and it will never change." He dared to say the word forever, because the original intention of establishing the book club was to benefit the poor. children, not for money.

The second son of the Shen family, Shen Dongqi, runs business in the next town, and because of the busy business during the new year, he doesn't plan to go back too early for the New Year.On the [-]th day, I received a letter from my family, in which I said with certainty that the private school at home was going to close down, and that the old family was bullying people too much.

Seeing that he was letting himself be the master again, Shen Dongqi sighed, and said to Liu Yue, his newly married daughter-in-law: "Look at this matter, how should we solve it?" Isn't it whimsical?The two elders in the family thought that he was very proud of being outside, and that he could invite the county magistrate at every turn, which was really helpless.

"It's hard to handle. I didn't expect it to be like this at the beginning." Liu Yue saw in the letter that more than half of the students had left, and the private school was really going to close down.But he promised Song Jingwei at the beginning that he would not cause trouble again, so how dare he take care of it now.

"The private school must not collapse, our parents will not agree." Shen Dongqi said, the private school is the darling of the two elders of the Shen family, without the private school, it means nothing, loss of face, and unable to gain a foothold in Chashan Village.

"Then what should we do? Don't make bad ideas. I told your eldest nephew and wife that I will never seek trouble." Liu Yue is trustworthy and never thought of seeking trouble.

"Naturally, we want to find a win-win solution. If we can not show up, then we should not show up." Shen Dongqi said, feeling awkward in his heart. He had promised his wife before that he would not seek trouble.Originally, his elder brother's family was in difficulty, and they were very sorry for not lending a helping hand during the most difficult time.Now that people are gradually improving, they shouldn't be looking for trouble all the time.

"Is there any win-win solution?" Liu Yue said.

Shen Dongqi looked at his father's letter again, and then thought about the magistrate's kindness to him, he gritted his teeth and secretly said: "Maybe you can really ask the magistrate to come." Whether it is successful or not, you will know if you try it, and there is no loss What.

In the afternoon of that day, Shen Dongqi prepared a generous gift and paid a visit to the magistrate's mansion.

When Zhang Benqing heard that Shen Dongqi had come, he actually met him, accepted his gift, and asked, "What's the matter with Boss Shen?" Therefore, he is very willing to promote Shen Dongqi.

"Master Zhang, it's like this." Shen Dongqi was very cautious and said with anticipation: "Xiaomin is going back to his hometown in the next few days to prepare for the New Year. Xiaomin's hometown is Chashan Village with beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. Our harvest is also good. Xiaomin has the courage to ask Mr. Zhang to move to Xiaomin’s hometown." He heard that this adult is diligent in government and loves the people, and he likes to go to various places to inspect the people's conditions, so he dared to speak.

Sure enough, Zhang Benqing said with great interest, "I have heard about Chashan Village."

"Really?" Shen Dongqi said excitedly.

"In fact, I allocated money to build roads in your village." Zhang Benqing smiled and said, "I don't know how the roads are going. Last time your nephew and daughter-in-law reported to me about it, but I haven't checked the results yet. "

Shen Dongqi opened his eyes wide and stammered, "What... what... nephew and daughter-in-law? Road construction?" He had never heard of this at all.

"Huh? Don't you know?" Zhang Benqing asked suspiciously, "Didn't your niece and daughter-in-law ask you to come to me?" He always thought that Shen Dongqi was introduced by Song Jingwei.It was also because Shen Dongqi was Song Jingwei's relative that he treated him kindly.

"Yes... yes, it's him." Shen Dongqi thought blankly, which niece and daughter-in-law does he have, and there is only one niece and daughter-in-law, isn't it the daughter-in-law of the old family?It never occurred to him that it was thanks to the elder's daughter-in-law that he learned of the favor of the county magistrate.

"Forget it, I'm planning to go to Chashan Village next year. Since you are here to invite me, I should go there before the end of the year." Zhang Benqing decided.

At this moment, Shen Dongqi didn't have the heart to talk, and his whole body was immersed in the fact that the magistrate was not his nobleman, but the elder family's nobleman, so what should we do about this matter?Can it still go according to plan?He knew very well in his heart that it was impossible, so he was depressed.

On a whim, Zhang Benqing said: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. After a while, I won't be free. Why don't we start tomorrow?"

"Ah?" The county magistrate spoke, Shen Dongqi dared not say no, he quickly agreed: "Okay, listen to your advice, and leave tomorrow." Poor him, he didn't even have time to write a letter home and report it.I just hope that the elders of the Shen family don't make trouble for him, otherwise it will look good.

When I went back and talked to Liu Yue, I saw that Liu Yue was also full of embarrassment, and he said in his heart: "Why is this happening!" It felt a little like being slapped, and his face was hot.

Early the next morning, Shen Dongqi and Liu Yue bit the bullet and came to the magistrate's mansion, waiting for the magistrate to leave together.

When the magistrate goes out, someone will carry the sedan chair.Shen Dongqi and Liu Yue, on the other hand, were riding behind in a mule cart, unhurriedly following.They had hardships to describe, and along the way they had doubts in their hearts, wishing to return home quickly, and wishing to return home slowly, which was very contradictory.

Hearing that the county magistrate really came to his house with his son, the Shen family's family happiness blossomed, and the old man of the Shen family quickly ordered: "Give me all the dignity, don't be timid, so as not to be looked down upon by others."

Shen Dongying learned his father's tricks perfectly, and there was no tension on his face at all.He was as dignified and sophisticated as ever, if not more so than usual, without restraint.

Even the old lady of the Shen family, Mrs. Wang, also dressed up and went out to meet the magistrate.

With a serious face, Zhang Benqing entered the door of the Shen family's family, and saw them all knelt and kowtowed, only the old man of the Shen family was a scholar, so he didn't need to kneel.He glanced around and said strangely: "Why don't you see your daughter-in-law?"

Mr. Shen was puzzled, pointed at Mrs. Wang and said, "Report to the county magistrate, this is my daughter-in-law."

"Huh?" No matter how you look at it, it's not the person you know, Zhang Benqing said: "Don't you have a daughter-in-law named Song Jingwei?"

As soon as Song Jingwei's name came out, everyone in the Shen family felt disgusted as if they had eaten flies.Qi Qi said with a stiff mouth: "Master Zhixian asked him why, she is my eldest son's daughter-in-law, not in the family."

"Oh, you separated? That's how it is." Zhang Benqing said clearly.

"That's right, the eldest son has been separated for a long time, and he hasn't seen much in these years." The old lady of the Shen family said, putting all her life on the eldest son's eye drops.She knew that the magistrate was the second son, please come back to deal with the eldest son, so how could she not work hard?She had long wanted to file the vigor of the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of the Shen family, but now she has the confidence.

"Huh? Why don't you keep in touch?" Zhang Benqing asked strangely.

"My lord doesn't know something, alas..." The old man of the Shen family sighed greatly, then changed his tone and said: "Don't mention that unfilial son, my lord has come from a long way, please come to the house quickly."

But Zhang Benqing waved his hand and said: "No need, no need, the official came to inspect, since Song Jingwei is not here, I will go to him." Asked: "Which one of you will show me the way?"

The Shen family was stunned, the county magistrate came to inspect, what happened to Guan Song Jingwei?

Only the second son of the Shen family, Shen Dongqi, knew the reason. In order to avoid his father and mother talking nonsense, he hurriedly said: "Xiaomin's wife knows how to get there, let Xiaomin and Xiaomin's wife lead the way for adults."

Zhang Benqing nodded and said, "Then let's go."

Not long after they landed, they were about to leave again.Confused the group of people behind him, Mr. Shen had no choice but to catch up with Shen Dongqi, who was behind, and asked, "Second brother, what's going on?"

"Father, don't ask too many questions. I'm afraid the matter of the private school will not be settled. The county magistrate and the elder brother's daughter-in-law are acquainted." He only said this, and hurried to the front to lead the way.

The old man of the Shen family froze in place, why is Song Jingwei's shadow everywhere?The second child in his family knows the magistrate, and the eldest daughter-in-law also knows the magistrate, what are these things!

"Old man, what's the matter? What's going on?" the old lady of the Shen family asked, watching the county magistrate leave, feeling very anxious.

"How do I know? If you ask me, who should I ask?" Old Master Shen said angrily, and went back to the house full of bad luck.

Old Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes for no reason, and felt unhappy, so she stomped on her crutches, and said in a strange way: "What are you doing standing up, and how are you pretending when everyone is gone? Why didn't I see you talking just now?" The third child, Shen Dongying In front of the county magistrate, she didn't show any performance at all, and Mrs. Shen even said a few words herself!

"Mother..." Shen Dongying and his wife were in distress.They were strangers to the county magistrate, so how dare they interrupt.Didn't you see that the second son, Shen Dongqi, is also lying down and doing small land? That's it, he is going to leave.

"Useless things." Mrs. Shen murmured in her heart, but she didn't dare to speak out loudly, and she still counted on the third child to take care of her until the end of her life.

However, Zhang Benqing and his party, led by Mrs. Shen Dongqi and his wife, came to the big house of the Shen family at the foot of Xiaoliang Mountain.The county magistrate opened the sedan chair curtain and saw a vast pastoral scenery, and said: "This place is really beautiful with beautiful mountains and rivers, and outstanding people. It is really a rare and good place."

Shen Dongqi spoke respectfully: "My lord said that this place is called Xiaoliangshan, and there are many Zhuangzi on the other side of the mountain. Every summer, there are people coming and going, so it's very lively."

Zhang Benqing had already heard about this matter. He was willing to cooperate with Song Jingwei at the beginning because of the prominent location of Xiaoliangshan, and there were many high-ranking officials and dignitaries who wantonly built villas at the foot of the mountain by the river.Of course, the more important thing is that this matter is beneficial to him.

At this time, in the big room of the Shen family, the whole family was sitting around the oven making glutinous rice cakes.

Shen Junxi pressed a thin one with a peach blossom-shaped mold, knocked it off with a wooden strip, and handed it to Song Jingwei's mouth.He was rubbing rice noodles with both hands, and both hands were full of syrup, so it was really hard to handle with his hands.But it's really not used to eating things from other people's hands like this.

"Eat Jingwei, it's delicious." Yang said with a smile, she just loves to see her son and daughter-in-law loving each other.

"Hmm..." Song Jingwei opened his mouth hesitantly and took a bite.The aroma of fried glutinous rice flour diffuses in his mouth, and the sweetness of syrup sticks to his taste buds, blending with the aroma of black sesame, it is delicious.

"Hehe, is it delicious?" Shen Dongming asked, seeing his daughter-in-law nodding, he also made a dumpling and ate it in two bites: "Delicious, this year's rice cakes are much more delicious than last year's."

"Because there was not enough sugar last year, you remembered to buy three catties, but you only bought two catties." Yang said angrily, and it was not his own fault.

"Hey." Shen Dongming smiled, how dare he tell his wife that he spent that catty of sugar money to buy shredded tobacco.

"Come on, brother Xi will eat a piece too." Yang squeezed it nimbly, squeezed out a dumpling, and handed it to his son's mouth.

"..." Shen Junxi still held a piece of rice noodles that Song Jingwei ate in his hand, but it didn't prevent him from eating the rice noodles made by his mother in one bite, nodded and said, "Yeah." Delicious!

"Hey, it's sweet, right?" Shen Dongming said with a smile. He also bought the candy this time, but there's no need to secretly reduce the ingredients with an axe, because before going to the town to buy new year's goods, his daughter-in-law secretly stuffed some money Give it to him and let him buy something for himself.

"Woof woof..." Xiao Hei at home suddenly barked, and Shen Dongming said, "Someone is here again, I'll go out and have a look." These days, people came to their house every day, asking about this or that, so it was very lively.

"It's troublesome to have too many people." Yang said with emotion. In the past, the family was so poor that they didn't see a single visitor for half a year.At present, people come every day, and I can feel the excitement, but it is also a kind of trouble.

"En." Shen Junxi responded to his mother, but his mind was on his side, because his wife was sitting beside her, kneading pancakes clumsily.

Song Jingwei saw that what they did was very simple. They pressed the rice noodles into the mold and pressed them firmly, and then knocked them out with wooden sticks.But when it was his turn to do it, the rice cakes were broken into pieces.

"Haha, Jing Wei didn't press it well enough." Yang said amusedly, it turns out that her daughter-in-law is not capable of everything, at least he doesn't know how to make pancakes.

Shen Junxi also started to laugh, seeing his wife's gloomy face, he quickly didn't dare to smile again, and gestured: "I'll make one for you, you watch." He took the mold shaped like a small fish from his wife, filled it with rice noodles, pressed it , with a wooden stick, a vivid fish cake with a big belly came out.

Song Jingwei glanced at the fish silently, took the mold back, and pressed it again.This time he was very careful, and he took the time to make one before Yang made three, so he knocked it down with wooden sticks.Is a flawless fish cake, beautiful and lovely.

"En." Shen Junxi looked at him with a smile, as if saying: Well done.

"It's not difficult to do this, and there is no technical content." Song Jingwei said, picking up the fish cake he made and biting off the tail of the fish.

Seeing that he ate deliciously, Yang smiled in relief and said, "It's not difficult. Look, isn't this a good job?" If you are picky about the life of a farmer, eating an ordinary glutinous rice cake will be sweet.

Outside the door, Shen Dongming opened the door and was surprised that his second brother and his wife, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, came.It doesn't matter, but the second brother Shen Dongqi said to him: "Brother, don't be dumbfounded, this is the magistrate of our county, hurry up and meet the magistrate."

"Hey? Hey! Xiaomin has seen the magistrate!" Shen Dongming was about to kneel, but Zhang Benqing stretched out a hand to stop him, and said, "This is a private visit by me, so there is no need to kneel."

"Hey? Then thank you magistrate!" Shen Dongming blinked, bowed his hands and said, he had never seen any official in his life, and the official in front of him treated him kindly, and he didn't feel restrained.

Shen Dongqi muttered in his heart: Why didn't you just say that just now, except for his father, everyone in the family knelt down on the ground.

"Well, your daughter-in-law is here. I'm here to inspect the road construction." The county magistrate said.

"Yes, yes." Shen Dongming came back to his senses and hurriedly invited them in.The people in the house stopped what they were doing and looked around curiously. Seeing this, Shen Dongming smiled and said, "Our family is making rice cakes, please try it."

Zhang Benqing saw rice cakes being made for the first time, picked one up with great interest, and said, "Delicious?"

Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and heard Shen Dongming introduce: "This is the county magistrate of our county." Mrs. Yang hurriedly stood up and saluted, but was still stopped by Zhang Benqing, and said, "Okay, I am visiting privately today, so there is no need to salute. "Taking a mouthful of glutinous rice cakes, he smiled and said to Song Jingwei: "Is this your skill?"

"I didn't make it." Song Jing smiled, and the one he made had already been eaten by himself.

"That's a pity." Zhang Benqing's familiar attitude surprised everyone in the room, as if they had known each other for a long time.

"Let's drink tea next door." Song Jingwei clapped his hands, got up and walked out.

Zhang Benqing also went out after everyone was stunned.

After a long time, Shen Dongqi sighed and said: "So they really are old acquaintances..." However, he wanted to use the county magistrate to deal with Song Jingwei out of control.

"They... how could they be old acquaintances?" Shen Dongming murmured, never heard from his daughter-in-law.

Shen Junxi gestured to his father: "Daughter-in-law and Master Zhang are indeed acquainted, every time I go to visit with my wife."

Shen Dongming asked in surprise: "Have you ever visited the county magistrate together?" He didn't know this at all.

"En." Shen Junxi gestured: "I went there the day I returned home, and I went to the county last time." He didn't say anything about the treatment of his throat, but his daughter-in-law told him not to talk about it, so as not to make the elders sad.

"It turns out that my daughter-in-law has known the magistrate so early." Shen Dongming remembered that the new magistrate had just arrived at that time.He thought with emotion that his daughter-in-law is indeed a person who can do great things.

"Brother, your daughter-in-law is not simple." Shen Dongqi said to Shen Dongming, and now he has no intention of dealing with anyone, because until it is impossible.As for the private school, alas, it was a mess.

"My daughter-in-law is naturally very good." Shen Dongming nodded. In his heart, Song Jingwei was good at everything, and right now he was helping the old Shen's family to conceive their grandson.

"Alas..." Shen Dongqi sat down, sighed greatly, and said, "Brother still blames father and mother in his heart, and I can understand that he refuses to let them go, but right now, I really need elder brother to give way, otherwise father and mother I'm afraid I won't be able to live on."

He spoke so sadly that Shen Dongming couldn't help asking: "What happened, why can't you even live on?"

Shen Dongqi was speechless, and Liu Yue said, "It's not about the private school of the third child. The eldest brother doesn't know about it. Most of the students in the private school have left. If this continues, the private school will close down sooner or later. Think about it, The private school has closed down, how can father and mother accept face-saving people?" In their hearts, the private school is not only a source of income, but also a plaque of honor.If there is no honor, the gap in the heart may drive the old man crazy.

"Can't they accept it?" Shen Dongming's anger came as soon as he said it, and he said with a smile: "No matter how poor or miserable I was, I never said that I couldn't live. They have food and clothing, but they can't live because of face? Hehe , I, Shen Dongming, have a low life, I can't compare with them, I really can't compare."

Shen Dongqi was embarrassed for a while, although he didn't mention him by name, but he also said with a fiery face, "It is true that parents have done some things unkindly, but at least they are relatives. Fathers can be unkind, but sons can't be unfilial... ..."

"I'm not filial? When I go to the door every year, they don't let me in, right? It's not that I don't go, right?" Shen Dongming said: "The year when my family was so sick that I was the only one left, I came to the door with a gift No? I went? But who came to see me? One or two people are afraid that my family will die, and they don’t want to pay for the burial fee!"

"Brother, calm down." Shen Dongqi said, he was extremely embarrassed, and hoped that Shen Dongming would stop talking.

"Why don't I calm down, I don't blush, and I don't make a loud voice, why don't I calm down?" Shen Dongming thought, if I didn't calm down, I would have gone crazy a long time ago.He is honest and honest, and fortunately he is honest and honest, so he has slowly survived until today.

"..." Shen Dongqi was speechless, after all, their whole family felt sorry for this elder brother.It was also the influence of the previous generation. Parents didn't pay attention to the elder brother, and they didn't even pay attention to the younger brother.As soon as grandma died, the eldest brother left the Shen family's family as a matter of course and went to live his own life.

Who knew that there would be a situation like today.

"Sister-in-law, we didn't mean that in this matter." Liu Yue also sighed, pulling Yang's side to speak softly, he knew that Yang's ears were soft, so he might be able to persuade her.

"Second sister-in-law, no matter what you mean, we don't care about this matter." Yang has long stated his position, waved his hand and said: "If you want to talk about things, you have to talk to my daughter-in-law. Wait for my daughter-in-law and the county magistrate After the adults have finished talking, you can go to him again."

Shen Dongqi and Liu Yue looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.As soon as they talked about the private school, Shen Dongming would turn over the old scores, so that they were too embarrassed to talk about it.But don't talk about it, don't you really care about the elders in the family?

The private school is really gone, and the two elders must go crazy.

The room was silent for a while, Song Jingwei came in from the outside and said, "Master Zhang and I are going out, we will have dinner at home at noon, you two will see what to do."

Mrs. Yang quickly said: "Okay, I see, let's make some more good dishes for lunch." The county magistrate stayed at his home for dinner, what an honor, their family is about to show off again.

"Where are you going, daughter-in-law? Be careful on the road, why don't you let Brother Xi accompany you?" Shen Dongming said worriedly, his eldest grandson is more than seven months old, and he can't stand the trouble.

"Don't go very far, just go to the main road to have a look." Song Jingwei said, seeing the young man's focused gaze, he nodded and asked him to come over: "Let's go together."

Upon hearing this, Shen Junxi went to wash his hands with a warm smile.For fear that they would be in a hurry, he washed quickly, and when he came out, he saw Song Jingwei and Zhang Benqing waiting at the door.He walked over to Song Jingwei's side, holding Song Jingwei's hand with dry and warm hands.

The palms that have been washed in hot water are still warm, which is not offensive.

Song Jingwei made a living, but if he didn't take it out, he ignored him and said to Zhang Benqing, "Master Zhang, let's go."

A group of three people walked slowly to the main road at the foot of the mountain.They saw that the winding and narrow narrow path had turned into a spacious and flat gravel road.

"Look, Mr. Zhang, this road leads all the way to the wharf. In the future, food crops can be transported more quickly, and the villagers' harvest will have higher and better profits."

"Very good, this road is well repaired." He has been to so many villages, this is the widest and smoothest road he has ever seen, almost catching up with the official road.Let alone road construction in other villages, no one has the idea of ​​building roads to get rich.They guard their own few acres of land all their lives, and that's all.

So Zhang Benqing is very optimistic about Song Jingwei, one is that he has ideas, and the other is that he is rich.With an idea and money, what can't be done?

"This is my tea garden, currently only about 100 mu. Planting will start next year, and production will probably start the year after. But before that, I will plant some other crops to make up for the vacancy in the growing season of tea trees." He said, "I don't know how the fishery here is?"

Zhang Benqing said: "The fishing industry is not bad. If you have a customs clearance certificate, you can sell it to neighboring countries. It means that your location is good, so you can have this kind of convenience."

"Exit certificate?" Song Jingwei was thoughtful, and looked for an opportunity to ask Yuan Guanlin another day, maybe they had it.

"It's not difficult to get the customs clearance certificate. If you need it, I can also get it for you," Zhang Benqing said.

"Okay, if there is a need, I will definitely ask adults to help." Song Jingwei nodded and said, also understood what Zhang Benqing meant, and it would inevitably cost money.

After seeing the main road, several people returned home.Shen Dongqi and Liu Yue are still there. It seems that they made up their minds to eat here and stay here when comparing Zhang Benqing.

If they didn't leave, Shen Dongming wouldn't open his mouth to chase people away, so he had to put two more bowls and chopsticks, otherwise he could do nothing.

Yang's lunch was very good, the ingredients were all fresh, and it was an authentic farm dish.

Zhang Benqing took a sip, and then praised: "It's delicious home-cooked food, Madam is very skilled."

Zan Yang could not smile from ear to ear, and said with trepidation and joy: "I don't dare to do it, I just make it casually, as long as adults like it." In the past, everyone in the family was used to eating it, and no one praised her for her craftsmanship. , and now he is suddenly praised by the county magistrate.Yang has never been so flattered in her life.

Originally, because of the magistrate's presence, everyone did not dare to speak rashly at the dinner table.Now that the county magistrate opened up the chatter box, Shen Dongqi seized the opportunity and said: "Master magistrate, I am ashamed to say that Xiaomin actually has something to worry about, and he has been keeping it in his heart."

Solving worries and problems for the people is the responsibility of a parent official.Zhang Benqing asked, "Oh? Why don't you tell me about something you are worried about?"

Shen Dongqi said: "This matter is related to my private school."

Zhang Benqing became interested and said in surprise: "It turns out that your family has opened a private school, which is not bad." A scholar family, no wonder this family has a scholar background.

"Yes, but recently, the private school may not be able to continue, because most of the students have left." Shen Dongqi said.

"Oh? Why did the students leave?" Zhang Benqing asked in confusion.

"This..." Shen Dongqi couldn't open his mouth. It was inappropriate to bring up this matter at someone else's dinner table, but now he has to sue. Everything he did was for his parents. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said: "Maybe it's because there is a new private school in the village that is cheaper, and they don't want to come. I don't think it's anything, I just want to say that my family's Shuxiu is not too expensive, but the other one is too cheap." A little bit. Although this approach is not deliberate, it really affects the source of students in my private school."

The members of the Shen family had already put down their bowls and chopsticks, and listened to him quietly.

After listening to him, Song Jingwei said: "He's right. Mr. Zhang doesn't know something. I opened the new private school, and Shuxiu is indeed cheap. And I originally wanted to teach for free to benefit one side. I am a child of poor people. But I am not the God of Wealth, so I don’t have much money to support, so I have to collect two taels of silver for expenses. Fortunately, the folks in the village are very supportive, and I don’t think it’s too expensive.”

Shen Dongqi had a toothache for a while, two taels of silver was simply too cheap, of course they didn't think it was too expensive.

"So that's how it is." Zhang Benqing didn't understand, but he understood it as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "Jing Wei is a kind person, this is a great move." Then he said to Shen Dongqi: "Of course you are right, so this This matter is not easy for me to handle. If I help you, I will be sorry to the common people. If I don’t help you, you will blame me for not helping you solve the problem.”

Shen Dongqi hurriedly waved his hands in panic and said: "No, no, Xiaomin didn't mean that, I mean..." Can Song Jingwei, Shu Xiu, be raised a little bit?He said Ai Ai periodically, his thoughts.

"That won't work." Song Jingwei said: "I originally wanted to benefit the common people, and I had no choice but to collect two taels of silver. How can I collect more money?"

Even Zhang Benqing nodded and said, "That's right, it would be better if it was all free of charge." He couldn't wait for such a kind person to appear in the village under his jurisdiction.

Shen Dongqi blushed, and knew that it was unrealistic, but he also had to solve the problem of his own private school, so he could only sigh and say: "Oh... Actually, that's not what I meant, I don't count on the income from the private school when I run a business outside It doesn't matter if the private school is open or not."

Song Jingwei suggested: "Students leave because they dislike your Shuxiu for being too expensive. You only need to reduce the Shuxiu by one-third, and it will not be difficult to keep most of the students." In his opinion, many parents just Threatening the Shen family's private school to cut back on the training does not necessarily mean that they really want to leave.Of course, there are also a small number of people who have made up their minds to leave. At least five or six households have come to ask in the past few days.

"One-third?" Shen Dongqi gasped, it was too much reduction.

"What's the matter, since you don't need money to run a business outside, why do you care about that little money?" Song Jingwei said: "I want your private school not to close down, but also want to make enough money. There is no such good thing in the world."

This is very true, and everyone agrees with it in their hearts.

Shen Dongqi showed embarrassment on his face and said: "...that's the best we can do." If Shu Shuxiu is reduced, it will be reduced by one-third, and I hope his second elder will not go crazy.

After finishing the meal with no appetite, Shen Dongqi and Liu Yue returned to Shen Jiaben's house in despair.Song Jingwei continued to accompany Master Zhang to walk around and chat casually.Mr. Zhang loves to chat with this young son, and from time to time he can hear some unique insights, some unheard of and unseen methods.

Every time after chatting with Song Jingwei, he always felt enlightened and raised his posture again.

"You are really nice, so I am very curious, why are you willing to marry in a hurry?" Seeing that this person is only seventeen or eighteen years old, most men here are 21 or [-] when they get married, and it is really impossible to marry , I had no choice but to marry.As long as it is a man, who is willing to marry someone else and bear children for another man?

"It's a long story, and there are too many reasons." Song Jing smiled and didn't intend to elaborate.

"Hehe, whatever, I see that your spirit has improved a lot, maybe it's not a bad thing." Zhang Benqing sighed, it's a blessing in disguise.

"Well, thanks to Master Zhang, it will get better and better in the future." Song Jingwei smiled faintly.

In the afternoon, he sent Zhang Benqing away alone. Before leaving, he took out a wooden box from his bosom and said, "Jing Wei got something by chance. It just happened to be in line with your lord's elegance." Without saying anything polite, he stuffed it to him up.

Zhang Benqing glanced at it, the wood is simple and the carving is exquisite, he is not rude to put it away.

When he got on the sedan chair, he opened the wooden box and found a gold inlaid jade fan with a quatrain on it, which was indeed extremely elegant.He laughed and said: "Jing Wei is really a common man." Gold and silver things.

Song Jingwei, who was walking back, suddenly sneezed.Shen Junxi, who was waiting for him in the distance, quickly walked over to pick him up.Seeing this, he took out a thin white facekerchief and gave it to him.

"Why do you carry this kind of thing with you?" Song Jingwei asked after finishing using it up.

"Here's a spare." Shen Junxi gestured, took over the dirty handkerchief, folded it and put it in his arms.

"Oh." Song Jing said with a slightly red nose, "I seem to be catching a cold, go back and drink ginger soup."

When Shen Junxi heard the words, he didn't dare to delay, and quickly took his hand and walked back.Walking on the road, from time to time, he turned his head to observe Song Jingwei's state, and saw that his nose was red, and his brows frowned.

"It's okay, I don't necessarily have a cold."

"Hmm..." Shen Junxi clenched his hand tightly, feeling that it was warm, so he felt relieved.He went out to have a hair dryer today, and walked for so long, he felt very distressed.

"I'm not sick, so I don't need to put on such an expression." Song Jingwei couldn't stand his frequent attention, so he said.

"En." Shen Junxi looked away, gestured with one hand for a while and said, "For that lord, what did you give?" He saw Song Jingwei taking something from the room, and he thought it was for lord Zhang.

"What else can it be? Give me money." In Song Jingwei's eyes, things that can be sold for money are equal to money and silver.What art, what antiques, sorry, he doesn't have that cell, he is a businessman, a common man.

"..." Shen Junxi was a little surprised, his mouth was slightly opened, and his eyes were slightly round.He thought that Song Jingwei and Zhang Benqing were friends, but at the moment, it seemed that it was different from what he thought.

"What's wrong? Are you surprised?" Song Jingwei smiled and said, "Let me tell you, the strongest relationship in this world is the relationship of interests. Only exchanges with interests can develop benignly, and exchanges without interests mostly drift away."

Shen Junxi shook his head, he didn't agree with these words, he gestured and said: "Benefits are not absolute."

Song Jingwei agreed: "Yes, benefits are not absolute. But most people are not so lucky, what they meet is absolute." Only a small number of lucky people have obtained the most precious feelings and benefits in the world. Nothing to do, pure and simple.

"..." Hearing the words, Shen Junxi seemed to accept this statement, because Mr. Zhang did take money from Song Jingwei, which proved that Song Jingwei's statement was correct.He looked at Song Jingwei hesitantly, and there were many words in his eyes, which could not be expressed by simple sign language.

"Actually, it's good for you to live like this, and live a simpler life." Song Jingwei said, wouldn't his life be happier with this simple and easily satisfied young man by his side.

"Yeah." Shen Junxi smiled, driving away the confusion.He now holds his lover's hand and walks together
