Chapter 29 Chapter 29
Shen Mu was not surprised, but asked, "Have you thought about it? Have you really made up your mind?"
Shen Rong nodded. "My son really has no talent for reading. If he can do some practical things, it's better than wasting time."
"Forget it, as long as you don't regret it yourself." Shen Mu's attitude was unexpectedly tolerant.Shen Rong heaved a sigh of relief, and turned to look at his wife and daughter, feeling a little apprehensive. "I……"
This decision was made by him just now. No, it’s not. It should be said that this idea emerged during his preparation for the provincial examination. , the idea emerges clearly.
But, he doesn't know what his wife and daughter think, will they dislike him for not being self-motivated?
Lu's took a step forward, and firmly held Shen Rong's hand. "Since the second master has made up his mind, I naturally have nothing to say. But the second master really thinks about it?"
"Yes." Shen Rong stopped his wife and daughter, "I want to spend more time with you, and I also want to do more...meaningful things."
Shen Rong participated in the Luming Banquet and visited his master, so he went to the Ministry of Officials to hand over the name card and wait for the selection of officials.
Ji Herun came out of the Tribute Court. He didn't look so strict, and his attitude towards Shen Rong was considered polite. He heard that he didn't plan to take the exam, but planned to choose officials directly. He didn't make any noise, but praised him for being pragmatic and promised to Say hello to the official department for him.
Among this group of candidates for selecting officials, Shen Rong was still young and could play a big role. With Ji Herun making a difference, two months later, news came from the Ministry of Officials that Shen Rong was elected as the magistrate of Yongxian County.You can take office in the next year.
Yong County is in Gyeonggi, quite a distance from their home.If Shen Rong wanted to take office, he had to move away from home, and his wife and daughter couldn't stay at home alone, so naturally they moved out together.Shen Mu nodded generously, but Shen Rong was reluctant to part with his father and brother, and Lu and Song were also reluctant.
It was already November, and it was about to enter the New Year's Eve.The magistrate has a special residence, so there is no need to rent another mansion, and the clothes and bedding can be packed in spring, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.
Shen Rong got a month of free time, and it was the last time spent at home. He cherished it very much. Apart from being with his daughter at home and teaching Shen Yue how to read and write every day, he often accompanied his father and brothers to talk, but recalling the past, Ask yourself what to do after you move out.
And Lu's is helping Song's preparations for the New Year.
This is the second year the Shen family has spent in Beijing, but their family's situation is quite different from last year.With the income from the rent and the shop, plus Shen He's work as a husband, life can be more comfortable, at least a gift can be prepared for relatives and friends.
Shen Yu hadn't had time to be happy for her second uncle's election, but she was told by Assistant Teacher Sun: "Your second uncle won the exam, you just have to be happy, and it's not too late to celebrate after you win the exam. Don't pass the exam next year. No!"
Fortunately, when it comes to fuss, Shen Yu is not afraid. At this moment, she can calmly joke with the teacher: "Sir, if you say that, you are not afraid of teaching a student who can't pass the child's exam?"
"Bah, bah, bah, say something unlucky, the students I teach won't be like this!" Assistant Professor Sun's eyes were widened by his anger, and he inadvertently revealed the truth: "If you don't even hit, I will I have to ask you to study politics and have a good theory!"
Shen Yu pretended not to hear, smiled and remained silent.Assistant Professor Sun found out that something was wrong and threw him out of Minglun Hall. "Go back quickly! You are not allowed to relax during the New Year's Day, come back and show me the article!"
Shen Yu, who was given extra homework, bid farewell to her friends, nodded to one or two familiar classmates, and left the Imperial College.
As if an agreement had been made, as soon as Shen Yu came home, Shen Mu also asked him to ask, "You will have a test in the next year, how is your article doing?"
"Since Mr. said that he can watch the show next year, he should be somewhat sure." Shen Yu replied.
Shen Mu nodded with satisfaction, "I've always been at ease about your studies."
Just when Shen Yu felt that the conversation was over, Shen Mu suddenly asked again: "You still go to Song's house often to practice horseback riding?"
"Yes, my cousin taught me how to ride a horse, and occasionally my uncle would come to see me." Shen Yu was a little surprised.He knew that Shen Mu didn't care much about these things, and he went to Song's house in the name of visiting his grandfather and visiting relatives, but Shen Mu didn't say anything, and he acquiesced as a grandfather.I didn't expect this to be asked suddenly.
Shen Mu seems to have planned it for a long time, "You don't go to Song's house in the future, and study your books carefully. When you pass the exam, there will be opportunities to walk around. Besides, it doesn't matter if you don't learn those things."
Shen Yu somehow felt that the reason was not as simple as what Shen Mu said.Sure enough, he heard Shen Mu say again: "After all, you are getting old, and there is a young lady in his family who moves around a lot, so it's not good to spread any words."
"Grandfather is considerate." Shen Yu agreed.At the same time, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he could secretly feel that his uncle had plans to get him and Song Jiao together, and he also knew the stories of those wealthy families who kissed each other.
Song Jiao is not bad, she is a girl similar to Yue Niang.But in Shen Yu's heart, she was no different from Yue Niang, so she couldn't imagine what it would be like to spend the rest of her life together.
Shen Yu is 11 years old, no, he will be 12 soon, and he has not been married for a few years, but at the age when his classmates are in love, he has always been ignorant of the relationship between men and women.
He himself didn't think much of it, and he was secretly glad when he heard Guo Yi talk about his classmates writing love poems or going to Goulan. After all, compared with those, he still found it more interesting to think about how to write articles and endorse.
Seeing that Shen Yu wasn't dissatisfied at all, Shen Mu felt relieved.At least Shen Yu had no other intentions.
Shen Yu also knew in her heart that it was useless for her grandfather to just tell herself, he would definitely say hello to the Song family.
At the end of the year, there are many invitations to parties.Another family reunion, Song Zitao also brought a pair of children to the banquet.After drinking for three rounds, Song Zitao praised Shen Yu again, "Yu Lang is smart, whether it's reading or riding and shooting, he knows everything!"
Shen Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she said to herself, it's coming.
Sure enough, Shen Mu followed Song Zitao's words and said: "Yu Lang is a seedling who studies, but it was abandoned before, and we have to hurry up in the future."
"That's natural." Song Zitao followed suit and fell into the trap. "Shen Weng is strict in discipline, and Yu Lang must be able to understand it. Right?"
Shen Yu forced a smile at his uncle.
"So, I still have to let go of my old face, hold him tight, and stay at home well in the coming year... Surely my father-in-law can understand, right?" Shen Mu said with a smile.
However, most people were still aware of the change in the atmosphere. Shen Rong put down his chopsticks at a loss, Shen He frowned at his father, and Song Zitao's smile faded a lot in an instant. "Shen Weng means that Yulang should be separated from his family from now on?"
Shen Mu continued to smile, "Where is Song Erlang talking? He is just disciplining the children. After he wins the Jinshi, I don't have to ask how he wants to learn how to ride and shoot, how to move around relatives."
Shen Mu's words are beautiful, but the meaning is very clear.When Shen Yu passed the Jinshi examination and was named on the gold list, the daughter of a fifth-rank official did not match his identity so much.
After Song Zitao hinted at his younger sister, he thought that the marriage was a sure thing, but he was rejected by Shen Mu in front of the younger generation.
Song Hong, the only one who didn't notice the change in the atmosphere, finally noticed something was wrong. He raised his head from his rice bowl, opened his mouth into a circle, and hurriedly said: "My cousin doesn't learn to ride a horse anymore? How can you give up halfway? You, you Don't want us?"
"Where is it, Hong Lang is my younger brother, how could it change?" Shen Yu finally put down the bowl and chopsticks and sat up straight, "It's not that I don't stop learning, but it's not as frequent as now - the body still needs to be practiced, but Now the most important thing is to pass the boy's test, and I ask my grandfather, uncle and cousin to forgive me."
Shen Yu came forward to speak, and spoke in a humble and polite manner, and Song Zitao's expression finally changed a little.
After all, the two are still hinting, and have not formally raised it.Song Jiao is young, so it's okay to pick someone.It's just a pity that this nephew, at such a young age, can only speak like this...
Song Zitao's heart was full of twists and turns, but on the surface he still smiled amiably at Shen Yu. "What's the matter, you just need to know that we miss you."
Shen Mu smiled with his beard, obviously very satisfied with Shen Yu's performance, Shen Yu also went to a worry.
After the banquet was over, Shen Rong also talked about this with Lu Shi. "What my father said today, it means that we moved out again, and it is inappropriate for Yue Niang to go to Song's house to attend classes."
"That's right. It's just a pity. Jiao Niang's child looks pretty good to me." Lu and his sister-in-law met Song Jiao a few times, and they had a good impression, and felt a little regretful.
Shen Rong smiled nonchalantly, "You don't understand what father means? Yulang's marriage is obviously to be discussed later. When Yulang is in high school, what kind of girl can't be picked?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu became a little anxious, "Postponed? Yulang is the eldest brother, and his marriage is postponed, what will Yue Niang do?"
"What's the rush? You can't get married better than your elder brother. Can't you make an appointment first? Besides, Yue Niang is still young, and there is still an audition, so you can take the opportunity to choose." Shen Rong is eager to keep his daughter for a few more years.After he comforted his wife, he remembered what he wanted to say, "In my opinion, it's better to ask someone to come back and teach her."
"How can a female gentleman be so easy to invite?" Mrs. Lu was a little worried. "It's hard to find even a wealthy family, let alone a family like us..."
"Pay attention first, and look slowly, anyway, Yue Niang is still young." Shen Rong didn't care as much as his wife did, "But this year, you have to take good care of it with sister-in-law."
Lu asked back: "Then you still need to say?"
Shen Yu was born in winter, because Mrs. Song was seriously ill at the time of birth, and she was afraid of ruining the child's luck. His birthday was never planned, but he just had a bowl of noodles and a poached egg in conjunction with the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.
But this time is different, after the new year, he will be 12 years old.Twelve is the number of earthly branches, and it is also the first natal year, which is to be celebrated.
Shen Yu had her own plan in mind: A few days ago, housekeeper Zhao sent a message that the carpenter's work was almost done.
