After a moment of silence, Lin Weizhi turned his back to her and said, "No, I'm a little late for reading."

"Really, but I saw that you haven't even opened the book." Shen Qingshu picked up the book, flipped through it a few times, and asked with a smile, "What did you read today?"

Lin Weizhi was a little ashamed and annoyed, she rolled her eyes sideways and snorted, "So what?"

"If your identity is leaked, I will be implicated as well. I am worried because of this. Isn't it the right thing to wait for you to come back?"

Shen Qingshu choked for a moment, the reasoning made sense, but it was obviously wrong, if Lin Weizhi was really afraid of risks, she would not have stayed in the Shen family.

She wasn't asking any more questions either. For some reason just now, she asked quickly, but she didn't know what kind of answer she wanted.

She is not a fool, how could she not be aware of her abnormality these days? She is still a little uncertain about the reason.

As a visitor from a later life, she didn't feel how the same-sex relationship violated the principles of ethics. In the later generations, although it was generally a pairing of male a female o and female a male o, the less common pairings between male male and female female It's not unusual either.

But the feelings in her heart are still relatively vague. This is the first time she has encountered this kind of situation, and she has no experience to talk about. If she likes it, she has never noticed it before. It's just that it's abnormal these few days. It's hard to say whether there is any guilt to make up for it. Moreover, she and Lin Weizhi haven't been together for a long time, and they are still in the sensitive period when they get acquainted, so she doesn't know if there is any pheromone attraction in it.

She cherishes Lin Weizhi's intentions, and treats her own feelings carefully, so she has to think clearly, before that, she will not do anything out of bounds.

What's more, there is more than that between the two of them. She can accept it. Lin Wei is just an ancient woman, but she may not be able to accept it safely. The behavior she has shown these days is obviously to draw a line with her.

Again, there will be no heirs between them. She has heard many people who wanted to dink when they were young, but later regretted it in middle age, abandoning their partner and looking for someone else. It is hard to say what Lin Weizhi would think.

In short, there are many contradictions, and the horoscope has not been written yet.

Shen Qingshu fell into his thoughts, and didn't reply for a while, the atmosphere of silence spread, Lin Weizhi thought that what he said just now was too hurtful, regretted it for a moment, and turned over unintentionally.

Looking over, Shen Qingshu frowned, his expression was thoughtful, and he didn't know what he was thinking.She bit her lower lip and said hesitantly, "You..."

Shen Qingshu heard the movement, regained consciousness, met Lin Weizhi's eyes, her eyes flickered, and she smiled apologetically, "It's my fault, don't worry, I will be careful when I'm outside."

But in response to what she said just now, Lin Weizhi paused, hummed nonchalantly, turned her back and closed her eyes, but her heart seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't let go.

In the next two days, after attending the Luming Banquet hosted by the chief examiner, the new imperial examiners in Fucheng dispersed, and Shen Qingshu also bid farewell to Guan Yiming, and went to Tangshan County, Suzhou Prefecture under its jurisdiction.

Now that the weather is getting cooler, you can travel during the day, and Tangshan County is not far away, but within three days, the group arrived in Tangshan County.

When returning home to pay respects to ancestors, he naturally settled down in Shen's Mansion in Tangshan. He got the letter a few days ago, and Shen Kanzhe sent people to wait at the gate of the city every day.

I haven't seen him for a few years, Shen Kanzhe has reached his thirties, his figure is a little fatter, there are a few wrinkles on the tail of his face, and a short beard has grown under his chin.

Shen Qingshu bowed and saluted, "Uncle Tang is well."

"You don't need to be too polite," Shen Kanzhe hurriedly supported her forearm, with a smile all over his face, "I didn't quite believe the news a few days ago, Yayuan, my Shen family finally came out with a book seed."

"Cousin uncle is too famous, but he got lucky."

"Oh, don't be humble," Shen Kan smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "I haven't seen you in a few years, and I'm taller."

They exchanged a few words, and the maid helped Lin Weizhi to get out of the carriage. Shen Kanzhe turned his gaze, and Shen Qingshu introduced, "Uncle Tang, this is my wife."

Lin Weizhi took off the hat, and then bowed to salute.

"I know, who else can there be except my nephew and daughter-in-law?" Shen Kanzhe laughed, and said apologetically: "You got married a while ago, and it was just in time for the critical time in the mansion. I couldn't go to the capital to watch the ceremony. I really feel sorry for you live."

Shen Kanzhe has been childless for many years, and has several concubines. At the end of last year, one of the concubines finally became pregnant. He sent all the concubines to another hospital. He was as nervous as eyeballs. Finally, a baby boy was born, and he was still in good health, and survived the first two months without dying, so Shen Kanzhe was also very proud and full of energy at the moment.

"It's okay, my uncle prepared a gift and sent it from thousands of miles away, but it's so thoughtful." Shen Qingshu smiled, said a few words politely, and then asked, "I haven't seen grandpa for a long time, I wonder if his old man is still in good health?"

"Of course, look at my delay," Shen Kan patted his head, and took her arm to walk in, "We will talk after we enter the mansion, the old man is still waiting to see you in the main hall."

"You don't know. As soon as the news of your winning came, the old man said hello three times. He was so happy that he used an extra bowl of rice tonight."

Mr. Shen is over fifty, and his spirit is still very healthy, but his body is not as good as before. When he was young, he suffered a lot and hurt his body. When he is old, he decays quickly. He looks older than old Liu.

The old man happily praised her, patted her hand and said with emotion: "My brother was also praised for his talent in the past, and he was a good student. You are like him, really like him!"

His eyes were cloudy, and he couldn't see clearly. Facing Shen Qingshu, his mind was in a daze for a moment, as if he was back when he was young, his father was still alive, and his family was not rich, but he still had enough to eat. To be warm, his elder brother taught him how to read, but he mischievously pretended that he could not learn. The elder brother shook his head with a smile, and read and wrote each word with his hands.

He was stunned for a while, but then shook his head to himself. His elder brother was even more handsome. He is a man of excellence. him.

After talking for a while, Mr. Shen gave Lin Wei a greeting and asked them to go down and settle down first.

Shen Kanzhe led them out, and stopped by to see the newborn, because the concubine's room selected those who were easy to raise, and their looks were not very outstanding, so the newborn was not very cute.

Of course, it might also be because Shen Qingshu was prejudiced. When she left the room, she remembered that she hadn't seen Shen Kanzhe's wife and daughter for a long time, so she asked, "Uncle Tang, why didn't you see Aunt Tang and cousin?"

Shen Kanzhe's expression froze for a moment, and he forced a smile and said, "It's your aunt who misses home, so she brought your sister home to stay for a while."

Shen Qingshu knew in her heart that the last time she came here, Shen Kanzhe was still young, and her love for her aunt Tang did not seem to be fake, and she also hurt her only daughter to the bone.I don't want time to change, things to change, and my heart to change, because of the problem of children and heirs.She has some sympathy for Aunt Tang, but she can't do anything about the house.

After staying in Shen's residence and resting for two days, Shen Qingshu asked someone to choose an auspicious day to open the ancestral hall. She didn't know what to pay attention to, Shen Kanzhe was the one who coordinated and arranged.

The ancestral hall is not in the county town, but in the more remote countryside, the name of the village is Shenjiawan. It is very simple and straightforward, and you can tell at a glance that the surname of most people here is Shen.

Under normal circumstances, the ancestral hall is only opened for ancestor worship during the Chinese New Year, or there must be some major event.For many years in the Shen family clan, the most outstanding son is Grandpa Shen Qingshu, who also opened an ancestral hall for him many years ago.

Now that Shen Qingshu is elected, he can also open an ancestral hall to pay homage to his ancestors, and Lin Weizhi can also add his name along the way, so there is no need to wait until the Chinese New Year.

Most of the children who can go to the ancestral hall will come, and Mr. Shen also insisted on going with them this time. Everyone couldn't resist him, so they had to do as he wanted.

After getting out of the carriage and walking, Old Man Shen grabbed Shen Qingshu's arm and told her one by one which house it was in the past, where there were fruit trees planted, how she and Grandpa Shen Qingshu were when they were young, and instead, Shen Qingshu's son Shen Kanzhe was left in the cold, and could only smile helplessly.

When he arrived at the former residence of the Shen family, Mr. Shen finally calmed down. He let go of Shen Qingshu's hand, and walked slowly to the gate with a cane. Looking at the red walls and black tiles, his lips trembled, and his eyes were actually a little moist.

After the Shen family got rich, they renovated and expanded the ancestral house. Even though they moved to the county capital, they still hire people to maintain it every year. The house hardly looks like it used to.

But those memories are kept there, it is special, it will always occupy a place in my heart, and it only makes people feel that time is fleeting.

Everyone waited quietly behind him, and when he came back to his senses, sighed, and walked inside, they hurriedly followed.

Shen Kanzhe and Shen Qingshu walked side by side, and sighed, "Father, he must have remembered the past again. Every time he goes back to the ancestral house, he will miss his grandfather, and he will be depressed for a while. I am worried about his health, and I didn't want him to come. , but he insisted on coming."

Shen Qingshu said: "They have deep brotherhood, I can't persuade them."

He also heard from the old Liu that when the two brothers were young, their father was unfortunately killed in a mountain torrent. His mother took the two of them for a year and decided to remarry, but the husband's family was unwilling to take over the two. Tuoyouping, when it came to the end, he reluctantly agreed to take the younger Shen Erlang.

Shen Dalang was 13 years old at the time, and he went out to make a living by himself. He happened to be recruited, so he joined the army.

After Shen Erlang was adopted and changed his surname, his life under the fence was very difficult. After his stepfather gave birth to two sons, he was even more disliked by him, and he tortured him very hard. He was only young, and he injured his spine , almost unable to straighten up.

It wasn't until Shen Dalang returned home that he was freed, and the two brothers wept bitterly. Relying on Shen Dalang's power, they changed Shen Erlang's surname back and re-entered the family tree.

There is another story in this story, it is Shen Qingshu's mother-in-law He's family. When Shen Dalang enlisted in the army, although he was tall and strong, he was not yet ready for conscription. He changed his registration age privately. At the time of the war, these requirements were not very strict, so he was allowed to get away with it.

In the army, Master He also took good care of him, and Shen Dalang vowed secretly that he must repay Master He.After returning home many years later, Master He had passed away, so Shen Dalang donated money and land to his family, and appointed her granddaughter to the newborn eldest son.

So the Shen family's bad habit of dating dolls didn't just start from the previous generation.This caused Shen Qingshu to not have a reliable uncle's family even after her father passed away.

When Mrs. He first married, Mrs. Liu looked down upon this petty daughter-in-law who didn't dare to speak too loudly. It was also after her father passed away that she supported each other. As time went by, she was always obedient. After being obedient, I slowly accepted it.

When Shen Qingshu returned home this time, he also wanted to visit the He family on behalf of the He family.

Uncle Liu will arrange other chores such as presenting gifts, and Shen Qingshu only needs to meet the patriarch again.

In terms of kinship, the patriarch is her...well, a distant uncle.

The next morning, members of the clan surnamed Shen gathered outside the ancestral hall, all men, old and young, looked at Shen Qingshu curiously or in fear.

Shen Qingshu followed Shen Kanzhe all the way, and when he heard his prompts, "Third Uncle", "Fifth Uncle", and "Second Brother", he shouted angrily, and felt that his face was about to freeze from laughter.

The offerings such as incense and candles had already been prepared, and when the time came, everyone stood solemnly. The patriarch burned incense with his hands clean, and read an opening speech, which roughly meant to let the ancestors know why the ancestral hall was opened today.

After reading and singing aloud, the crowd followed him in, and then began the formal sacrifice. First, welcome the spirit, light candles, list the ancestors in order, then present the tribute, light incense and take wine, after paying homage , inserted in front of the table, sprinkled on the ground.

Then everyone bowed and kowtowed, and the patriarch took out another silk article to read, mainly praising Shen Qingshu, saying how smart and hardworking she was, she won the sub-yuan in the township examination, honoring the ancestors, and hoped that the ancestors would be happy when they knew about it, and continue Bless her success in the imperial examination, Shen Qingshu blushed a little when he heard it, and kept staring at the ground in shame.

After reading, the patriarch brought the silk script to the table, burned it on a sacrificial candle and presented it to the ancestors.

Everyone kowtowed again, each clan came next to each other, Shen Qingshu was alone in a row, bowed after the clan leader, and sent off the spirit after the worship, the whole ceremony was considered complete.

As for the matter of Lin Weizhi adding his name, he only mentioned it in passing, and then the patriarch dug out the family tree and added it.
