My Favorite Manly Husband

Chapter 42 Banquet

Just opened the meat, Shen Yanbei is still not satisfied, looking at people and wanting to kiss them.Gu Changfeng was worried about his hard work in studying during the day, and he was afraid that frequent sex would hurt his spirit, so he didn't dare to mess around with him.

Shen Yanbei also knew that this was not the time to be indulgent. Anyway, people were by his side, and he could eat them as soon as he turned his head.

Although in the original world, Shen Yanbei's temper was a little loose, but it didn't hinder the fact that he was a true scholar.From childhood to adulthood, Shen Yanbei never let his mother worry about his studies, and even struggled to help his mother with work. Everyone envied Shen's mother for having a smart and filial son.At that time, Shen Yanbei had vowed in his heart that he would let his mother get rid of his scumbag father and live a good life. Unfortunately, just after he was admitted to university, Shen's mother died of illness.

This is an irreparable regret in Shen Yanbei's heart. Now the situation is forcing him to raise his own class for the sake of his wife and a smooth life in the future, so Shen Yanbei is very concerned about the imperial examination.It took a few days to sort out the knowledge received from the original owner's mind, and even read the book Li Zhiyuan gave him.

Write down what should be written down, and mark out the places that you don't understand. Shen Yanbei sorted out his own problems, and waited for the day when he went to Li Zhiyuan's son's birthday party to take the opportunity to ask Li Zhiyuan for advice.

Su Qingze said that his brother-in-law is a person who likes to learn, and if he sincerely asks him for advice, he will definitely know everything.Shen Yanbei's impression of Li Zhiyuan is still that of the young master who came to the field to check the planting conditions of the crops that day. Although he did not have a close friendship, Shen Yanbei was grateful for his gift of books and specially prepared many interesting books for his son. gadgets.

Early in the morning of the banquet, Shen Yanbei, Gu Changfeng, Zhou Yu and Su Qingze, master and servant, a total of five people got into the ox cart of Uncle Shen's house again.

This was Shen Yanbei's first time taking Zhou Yu out. The young man was pleasantly surprised but also nervous, fearing that he would lose Shen Yanbei's face if he didn't do well.

Ming An, a qualified servant of a rich family, can understand his mood very well. When they were swinging in the bullock cart, the two sat together and muttered to each other. Ming An told Zhou Yu a lot of things to pay attention to when traveling outside.

Along the way, everything in sight is green.At this time, the temperature is gradually rising, the wind brings a little heat, and summer is coming quietly.

With sufficient rain and moderate temperature, the crops in the fields began to grow wildly.The bracts of the Shen family grow to a height of one meter, and the fields are clustered with seedlings. The ducklings have faded from their bright yellow and put on white feathers, and the fish fry in the water are also thriving.

Everything is booming.

"What's the name of this mountain? What's interesting on the mountain?" Su Qingze asked while pointing at the green hill next to the village with a long reed in his hand.

"This is Huaqiu Mountain. It's so interesting on the mountain!" Zhou Yu enthusiastically introduced the wild things on the mountain to a few people, such as hunting birds and eggs, catching chickens and snakes.

Su Qingze's eyes lit up: "Hey! You are so bold, you dare to catch snakes!"

Zhou Yu scratched his head embarrassingly: "Actually, we didn't catch it, but the snake just ate the wild egg, and it was stuck in its mouth, and we took the wild egg with it..."

"Then what did you guys do with this snake?" Ming An was full of curiosity.

"Eat it!" Zhou Yu took it for granted.

"That snake is so long and thick..." After gesticulating, Zhou Yu continued, "We picked up dry firewood and made a fire to roast it!"

"Is this... delicious?" Su Qingze hesitated.

"It's delicious!" The children of poor families have never touched oil or water all year round, and they are gluttons. It is the happiest thing to be able to catch some small animals in the mountains to satisfy their hunger.

Shen Yanbei who was on the side was also aroused interest, and scratched Gu Changfeng's palm lightly: "Let's go to the mountain for a stroll sometime?" It is said that the mountains must be rich in wild animals!It's a pity that he hasn't been to the mountains to see it after being here for so long.

"Okay." Now that the weather is hot and the tide is not so cold on the mountain, it's good to go for a walk.The most important thing is that he has regained his skill, and he is not afraid even if he encounters a wild beast.

The wheels were rolling, and a carriage wrapped in brocade on all sides and the windows covered by a curtain of light gauze slowly drove in.Suddenly the veil was lifted away, revealing a man's face with ordinary features.

The man looked out the car window, his eyes fell on the few people sitting in front of the bullock cart who were smiling and talking, his brows were slightly frowned.

Thinking of what the villagers said, he carefully looked at the two strange boys, one thin and one fat, and his brows frowned even tighter.

Hearing the sound of a carriage, Shen Yanbei and the others subconsciously turned their heads to look, and met the man's eyes unexpectedly.

Shen Yanbei did not change his face, and bowed his hands to the man: "Li Juren." Sitting in the carriage was Juren Li Yi!

For the first time, Li Yi smiled at several people, raised his hand to ask Xiaosi to stop the carriage, looked at Shen Yanbei and the others with a pleasant face, and said: "The sun is about to rise, the ox cart is slow and dry, The carriage is spacious, why don't you come up and sit together?"

Hearing this, several people were stunned, and looked at each other, and they all saw suspicion in each other's eyes.

Shen Yanbei smiled slightly and said: "Don't dare to nag Juren, the scenery in this mountain is quite good, let's walk slowly and take a look."

Being rejected, Li Yi didn't show any displeasure, but said: "It doesn't matter if you are used to it, but Mr. Su can't bear this hardship." Then, he said to Su Qingze with a gentle expression: "Mr. Su is also going to the county government office. ? You are on the same road, why not come up and have a cup of tea?"

Before Su Qingze could answer, Ming An snorted coldly: "My young master is not used to riding in such a crude carriage!"

Li Yi's face was a bit ugly, but he still persuaded him patiently: "Although the carriage is simple, it can shade the sun, so be careful not to damage your young master."

"No, it's good. I like riding in a bullock cart." Su Qingze directly refused.If he wanted to be comfortable, someone would have picked him up long ago!

Clenching his fists underneath, Li Yi tried his best to maintain a smile: "If that's the case, then don't disturb Mr. Su to enjoy the scenery. See you at the county government."

Su Qingze nodded lightly.

"Easy!" Ming An made a grimace at the receding carriage, "If you don't have anything to do, it's either adultery or robbery!"

"That's right!" Zhou Yu echoed angrily, "He must know Mr. Su's identity before he can try his best to curry favor!"

Just as everyone thought, Li Yi really wanted to climb up to Su Qingze.

Knowing that his actions that day did not make Shen Yanbei look bad at the coronation ceremony, but also made him show off, Li Yi was angry, jealous, and regretful at the same time.

Why can't he meet such a noble person?

If he can make friends with such a famous son, it will definitely be of great help to his future career!If he had attended Shen Yanbei's crowning ceremony that day, he might have known each other...

The ambitious Li Yi thought so, but he didn't know that the other party disgusted him.

"I've seen a thick-skinned person, but I've never seen such a thick-skinned one!" Ming An's eyes were full of disgust, "I used to have morning tea in a restaurant and connive at the people around me snatching our snacks, and then I turned my head and came closer as if nothing had happened. Not even an apology! Pooh!"

"What's going on?" Hearing the words restaurant dim sum, Shen Yanbei couldn't help asking.

Ming An immediately told about the domineering behavior of Li Sheng and Wang Cheng on the day when Tongfu Restaurant opened, Shen Yanbei was taken aback: "Does one have a mole on his chin, and the other wears a blue brocade robe and has a sharp mouth? "

Ming An nodded sharply: "Mr. Shen, how do you know? Could it be you too?"

Shen Yanbei's tone was helpless: "The one with the mole is Li Sheng, the eldest son of Li Yuanwai in Li Family Village, and the young man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks is Li Juren's in-law Wang Cheng."

"No wonder! It turned out to be a nest of snakes and rats!"

"I heard from the shopkeeper that these two people were also disrespectful to the county magistrate's wife who came to the restaurant for morning tea, and were awarded ten boards by the county magistrate."

"What?" Su Qingze's eyes widened and his face puffed up, "How dare they bully my sister!"

Ming An was also angrily: "Young Master shouldn't just beat them, you should put them in jail!"

However, Zhou Yu didn't quite agree with Ming An's statement: "This only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, the root cause is that Li Juren!"

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Shen Yanbei was expressionless: "Li Juren united with most of the village chiefs and asked the villagers in nearby villages to raise funds to build a public school. He will serve as the dean."

"This kind of person wants to teach and educate?" Ming An exclaimed, "Can he teach students well?"

Su Qingze was also very suspicious.The day Shen Yanbei set out to catch the duck thief, he didn't have time to rush there, but he learned about the situation from the villagers who came back.If Shen Yanbei hadn't been fully prepared at that time, it's likely that the villager in Lijiacun who stole the duck would have been sheltered by Li Yi.

Can such a misbehaving person be qualified to be the head of a house?

"I will tell my brother-in-law about this when I go back." Su Qingze said seriously.The imperial court encouraged the establishment of colleges, and special funds would be allocated to public schools. Therefore, setting up a public school was not a trivial matter. It had to be reported to the higher authorities and approved before it could be processed.

"Thank you!" It is a good thing to start a school, but he is afraid that the villagers' hard-earned money will not be used for real purposes, and he is even more afraid that Li Yi will mislead his children.

The precarious county seat had already arrived, and the group went straight to the mansion behind the county government office.

Because of the banquet held today, many carriages were parked beside the vermilion lacquer gate behind the mansion, and many country gentry who brought presents to ask for an audience were waiting aside, and the housekeeper was busy greeting them.

Those who have invitations come forward one by one to show their invitations and then enter the door. Those who do not have invitations can only wait for the housekeeper to send someone to report.

Seeing an ox cart approaching from a distance, the butler was overjoyed and immediately asked someone to open the middle door to welcome the ox cart.

what happened?Everyone who was turned away was dumbfounded.Those of them who come here with generous gifts and sincerity are no better than a few country bumpkins plowing the fields?

The bullock cart stopped, and Su Qingze jumped down.The housekeeper glanced up and down, and said with a smile: "Madam has been nagging you early in the morning, you should go over quickly!" The young man in front of him lost a lot of weight, but he looked more energetic.

Turning around, he said to Shen Yanbei again: "Master is in the study, Mr. Shen, please come to your side!"

Shen Yanbei glanced at Gu Changfeng, Gu Changfeng said in a low voice: "I'm going to see the county magistrate's wife." Men and women sat at separate tables, he was a twin, and had to be with the female relatives.Although he is not very good at dealing with female relatives, as Shen Yanbei's husband, he must learn some human relationships.

Shen Yanbei smiled and told him not to be nervous, so he took Zhou Yu and followed the housekeeper to see Li Zhiyuan.

"Brother Gu, let's go this way! I'll take you to see my little nephew!" Su Qingze greeted.

Gu Changfeng nodded, and walked towards the Moon Cave Gate with Su Qingze.
