Thank you.

The eldest lady was not very happy when she saw the old lady, and she was a little upset.

After all, she was making the decision without permission.

She explained, "I also know that Brother Lang did not enter Yuelu Academy to study on his own.

It’s a bit embarrassing for his true ability, but Brother Lang was quite smart before.

As long as he enters the academy, studies seriously, and is valued by his teacher, it doesn’t matter how he entered the academy.”

"Besides, the second brother and sister sent home a letter.

Brother Cong has been enrolled in Sihai Academy for more than a year.

His husband is very considerate of him and even wrote a letter of recommendation in person, recommending him to study at Yuelu Academy.

Brother Lang is the direct grandson of the eldest son of Shen.

But it’s not as good as a concubine’s house.

Isn’t this a disgrace to the big house?”

The Shen family does not only have one room, but four rooms.

The eldest, third and fourth bedrooms are all direct descendants, and the only concubine is the second bedroom.

Compared with the other three bedrooms, the second bedroom is the luckiest.

In ancient times, when parents passed away, they had to observe filial piety, but the observance of filial piety for civilian officials and military officers was different.

Civilian officials had to observe filial piety for twenty-seven months, but military officers only had to observe filial piety for one hundred days.

Therefore, Shen Jun kept his filial piety at home, while the second master went out to serve as an official.

Leaving aside the second master who is still living abroad, among the other three bedrooms, the third bedroom is the most unlucky, and the big bedroom is ranked second.

The third master died six years ago, leaving only the third wife and a pair of children.

As for the fourth house, the fourth master completed his mourning three months ago and returned to his original post.

Now he is the censor of the capital from the fourth rank.

Because the old lady is still alive, the family has not been separated.

The third wife is a widow.

She usually worships Buddha in the yard and rarely goes out.

The fourth wife likes to be quiet, and rarely shows up except for daily greetings, especially when the big house is in trouble now, she can't help, and adding insult to injury is not good for her, so she goes back to Beiyuan after greeting her every day.

The most noisy one is the second bedroom.

Sending a letter back can also cause chaos in the house.

The first person to bear the brunt is Shen Langzhi.

His cousin is younger than him, but he can read better than him, and he is also good at riding and shooting.

He can even compare himself to other children, let alone his cousin who grew up with him.

Is there still a time to live?

Especially in ancient times, the difference between direct descendants was like a natural chasm.

It's normal for Shen Langzhi to be a hundred times smarter than Shen Congzhi, but it's not right for Shen Congzhi to be twice smarter than Shen Langzhi.

In particular, he is the only legitimate son and the only son in the Shen family's eldest family, so we should pay more attention to it.

After receiving the letter from home, the old lady's first thought was to send Shen Langzhi to Yuelu Academy to study before her second brother came back.

But Yuelu Academy is not that easy to get into.

Those with a third-grade official or above can send one person to study in the academy.

If others want to enter, they can only pass the exam and rely on real learning.

If the old man was still alive and Shen Langzhi entered Yuelu Academy, there would be no problem, but he was unlucky because Yuelu Academy did not accept primary school students.

That is to say, young people under the age of fifteen will not be admitted.

Unless you are a genius, you will make an exception.

At that time, Shen Langzhi was only fourteen years old, which was not young enough.

When he was old enough, the old man kicked off his legs and died.

Shen Jun didn't have enough official positions, so he took the exam once.

However, he caught typhoid fever and went to take the exam dizzy.

The result was predictable: he failed.

Then Shen Langzhi started to waste time.

All his former friends entered the academy, but he was blocked from the academy.

No one had anyone to play with.

Moreover, the gap between them became wider and wider.

People didn't bother to take him to play with them. , Shen Langzhi started fooling around.

If you don’t let me play, won’t there be no one to play with me?

But at the age of fifteen, all the talented people go to school, and those who like to play are mostly hooligans who don't seek to make progress.

After a while, it became what it is now.

But the old lady doted on Shen Langzhi.

In her opinion, her grandson would be good anywhere.

The old lady is still a little reluctant to just buy the qualifications to study in the academy, especially because there are many maids in the house and people talk a lot.

If the second house finds out in the future, she still doesn't know how she can laugh at the first house secretly.

The eldest lady knows that the old lady cares about face.

She said, "The eldest brother now has Brother Lang as his legitimate son.

Ever since I got married, he has been a pain in the eyes.

When I gave birth to Yao'er, I hurt my body.

I have been nursing him for so many years.

It’s not expected to be good.

In the future, Brother Lang will be the support of the eldest daughter, and also the support of Yao’er and I.

I hope he will be well.

Besides, I will also give away the 20,000 taels of silver.

If Brother Lang doesn’t go, I I don’t have the nerve to come back.”

Spending 20,000 taels of silver to buy a place made the old lady’s head hurt and she felt a little regretful.

That day, the eldest lady told her that she had a way to send Shen Langzhi to Yuelu Academy, but she just had to spend a little money.

She didn't think much about it at the time.

After all, she was looking for someone to do things, especially the qualification to enter Yuelu Academy, which couldn't be bought with money.

Who didn't want her junior to enter the academy, study hard, and become famous in the future?

Not many people are so short-sighted, so giving some gifts is normal.

But she expected no more than 5,000 taels.

The big house of the Shen family had a meager heir, but the other three bedrooms were not so meager, so the father-in-law could not take the money.

If this precedent was set, in the future there would be a bowl of water.

Half of Liu's dowry was in her hand and half was with Shen Jun.

The eldest lady did not dare to speak to Shen Jun, so she came to discuss it with her, and she agreed.

She didn't know how much it would cost at the time, so she gave her five thousand taels.

If it was not enough, she would take it from the public servant first, and she would make up for it later.

Who would have thought that it would cost 20,000 taels?

Moreover, the qualification is to buy directly from Yuelu Academy, not through other channels.

Mrs.

Liu's dowry was generous, and her shop's profits were pretty good, but it cost her more than half of her money to buy the qualification.

However, the eldest lady is only planning for Shen Langzhi, so it’s hard to blame her.

Plus, it’s already decided, and it shouldn’t be the case.

It seems that she is short-sighted and reluctant to part with money, especially the money left by Mrs.

Liu. dowry.

"Yuelu Academy has strict rules.

If you get a C grade in three exams, you will be expelled from the academy.

Let Brother Lang do your best and don't come back to me within a few months."

This is what the old lady is reluctant to give up.

The real reason for the ten thousand taels of silver.

She was afraid that the twenty thousand taels would be wasted.

The eldest lady responded quickly and said with a smile, "The academy has sent word that Brother Lang will be able to enroll in school in two days."

Shen Yao stood aside and said with some worry, "My eldest brother has a blue eye.

He may not be able to recover in two days.

I will go to Yuelu Academy with a blue eye."

Before she finished speaking, the eldest lady glared at Shen Yao, and Shen Yao obediently shut her mouth and stopped saying anything disappointing.

The old lady said, "The students at Yuelu Academy all love pens, inks, paper and inkstones.

I will prepare some more for Brother Lang tomorrow.

He is new to school and it is good to use them to make friends.

I spent twenty thousand taels and don't care about a little bit." ” The eldest lady nodded and said, "My wife knows."

Then, Shen Yao's eyes lit up and she said, "Mom, my eldest brother has entered Yuelu Academy to study.

Should we go to pay homage to Wenquxing first and ask for a set of the Four Treasures of the First Class Study Room for our eldest brother when we come back?

My daughter heard that all those who enter Yuelu Academy to study, They will all go to worship.”

The eldest lady listened, nodded and said, "It's time to pay homage."

The old lady was also happy that Shen Yao cared so much about Shen Langzhi, but it was cold outside and it was not suitable to go out, so she said, "It's still cold, let Brother Lang go by himself.

He's used to being outside and is not afraid of the cold."

As soon as Shen Yao heard this, she sat down next to the old lady, took her arm and said, "Grandma, I know you love us, but if you pay homage to me as eldest brother, it's a different thing for me to do you homage.

Other people’s homes are all My younger sister went to ask for it.

I just hope that my eldest brother will be well.

In the future, he will be a star in the competition, be named on the gold list, and honor his ancestors.

Big brother has to do so much.

We help pray for him, and he is afraid of the cold when he asks for pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

How can it be said?

" Shen Xiu and Shen Ke also nodded in succession, expressing their willingness to go with Shen Yao.

They said this, can the old lady not agree?

Shen Yue stood aside and secretly curled her lips.

The old lady didn't see it, but she did.

Seeing that the old lady nodded, Shen Yao cast a proud look at Shen Xiu, and they could go out to play again.

It was fake to pray for Shen Langzhi, but it was real to take the opportunity to go out and play.

However, it has been more than two months since she came here, and she just stepped out of Chenxiang Garden today.

She still doesn't know what it is like outside, but now the opportunity is in front of her.

Shen Yue was moved.

She took a step forward, looked at the old lady and said, "I also want to pray for my eldest brother."

As soon as she spoke, Shen Yao's face dropped, she looked at her coldly and said, "I don't dare to take you out again."

After Shen Yao expressed her attitude, Shen Xiu said, "Sister, it's enough for us to pray for you."

"I know, but I still want to go.

My eldest brother even got punched because of me today.

How could I not show any sign of such a big thing for him to study at Yuelu Academy?

I know that I got into trouble when I went out before.

But I have changed," Shen Yue lowered her head and twisted her sleeves.

In this way, people can draw attention to her figure.

This is her attitude of admitting her mistakes.

This is already the case, isn't it enough?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Shen Yue looked at the old lady, her eyes slightly red, and she felt a little uneasy.

The old lady relented and was about to nod when Shen Yao said, "Miss Yao's matter has not been resolved yet.

If I take you out and cause any new trouble, our Shen family will really have a hard time." ” After hearing this, the old lady's heart hardened again.

Shen Yue didn't give up.

She knew that Shen Yao didn't want to take her out, especially when she said in the room that she was uneasy about taking her out.

But she was going out, did she need to take her with her?

She was growing up How are your feet?

Shen Yue looked at the old lady and said, "In addition to praying for big brother, I also plan to pray for Miss Yao, hoping that she will get better as soon as possible."

You can't stop me now.

Hearing Shen Yue using Miss Yao as a raft, the eldest lady's eyes flashed.

She seemed to have become a lot smarter.

Although she was still as obedient as ever, she smiled and said, "It's right for you to pray for Miss Yao, but It’s true that you caused trouble.

You Yao’er won’t go out until a few days later.

If Miss Yao’s condition improves tomorrow, you can go together.”

Now, it was Shen Yue's turn to have nothing to say.

She looked at the old lady eagerly.

The old lady agreed with the eldest lady’s words and made the final decision, “Let’s do it this way
