Chapter 42: Banquet (1)

Just after opening the meat, Shen Yan's northern meaning is still unfinished, and when he looks at people, he wants to touch him. Gu Changfeng was worried that he had to work hard in studying day-to-day, and he was afraid that he would frequently hurt his spirit and dare not mess with him.
Shen Yanbei also knew that it was not a time to indulge at this time. Anyway, people are around, and they can eat it as soon as they turn their heads, so they can adopt the spirit and use the energy of the college entrance examination to study hard.
Although Shen Yanbei's temperament was a little loose in the original world, it did not hinder the fact that he was a real scholar. Since childhood, Shen Yanbei has never made his mother worry about his studies, and he is still struggling to help his mother. Everyone envy Shen's mother for having a smart and filial son. At that time, Shen Yanbei vowed in his heart that he would let his mother get rid of the scumbag and live a good life, but it was a pity that Shen's mother passed away just after he was admitted to college.
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's success in the future. Therefore, Shen Yanbei has one hundred thousand hearts regarding the imperial examination. It took a few days to sort out the knowledge in the mind of the original owner that he received, and even read the book Li Zhiyuan gave him.
Write down what you need to write down and mark out the places you don't understand. Shen Yanbei sorted out his problems, and waited to take the opportunity to ask Li Zhiyuan on the day he went to attend the birthday party for Li Zhiyuan's son.
Su Qingze said that his brother-in-law is a person who likes to be academic, and he will know everything if he asks him sincerely. Shen Yanbei's impression of Li Zhiyuan still lingered on the young man who came to the field to check the crop planting situation that day. Although he did not have a deep friendship, Shen Yanbei was grateful for his book donation and prepared a lot of interesting things for his son. Gadgets.
Early in the morning of the banquet, Shen Yanbei Gu Changfeng took Zhou Yu and Su Qingze's servants, a total of five people, into the ox cart of Uncle Shen's house.
This is the first time Shen Yanbei has taken Zhou Yu out. The young man was surprised and nervous. He was afraid that he could not do well and lost Shen Yanbei's face.
Ming An, a qualified servant of a large family, understood his feelings very well. When they were dangling in the bullock cart, the two sat together and muttered. Ming An told Zhou Yu a lot of things to pay attention to when traveling.
Along the way, all the sights are green. At this time, the temperature gradually rose, the wind brought a trace of heat, and summer came quietly.
With sufficient rain and suitable temperature, the crops in the fields began to grow wildly. The bracts of the Shen family grew up to a meter high, and there were clusters of seedlings in the fields. The ducklings had faded their tender yellow and covered their white feathers, and the fish fry in the water grew vigorously.
Everything is flourishing.
"What's the name of this mountain? What's fun on the mountain?" Su Qingze asked, holding a long reed grass in his hand, pointing to the green hill next to the village.
"This is Huaqiu Mountain. The mountain is interesting!" Zhou Yu enthusiastically introduced the wild fun of the mountain, such as hunting birds and eggs, catching chickens and snakes.
Su Qingze's eyes lit up: "Oh! You are so bold, dare to catch snakes too!"
Zhou Yu scratched his head embarrassedly: "In fact, it was not us who caught it. The snake just stole the wild eggs, and we caught the wild eggs in his mouth..."
"Then what happened to you guys with this snake?" Ming'an was curious.
"Eat it!" Zhou Yu took it for granted.
"The snake is so long and so thick..." After making a gesture, Zhou Yu continued: "We picked up dry wood and made a fire and roasted it!"
"Is this... delicious?" Su Qingze hesitated.
"It's fragrant!" The children of poor families have not been exposed to oil and water all year round. They are not good at eating meat. It is the happiest thing to catch some small animals in the mountains to relieve their greed.
Shen Yanbei, who was on the side, was also aroused, and scratched the palm of Gu Changfeng's palm: "Should we find some time to go to the mountain?" They all said that we should rely on the mountain and eat the mountain, and the wild things on the mountain must be very rich! It's a pity that he hasn't been to the mountains for so long.
"Okay." Now the weather is hot and the mountain is not so cold. It's good to go for a walk. The most important thing is that he regained his skill, even if he encountered beasts.
The wheels were reeling, a carriage wrapped in brocade on all sides, and the windows were hidden by a curtain of gauze. Suddenly, the veil was lifted, revealing a man's face with plain features.
The man glanced out of the car window, his eyes fell on the few people who were sitting in the bullock cart in front of them, smiling and talking, frowning slightly.
Thinking of what the villagers said, he carefully looked at the two unfamiliar teenagers, one thin and the other fat, and his brows became tighter.
Hearing the sound of a carriage, the people in Shen Yanbei turned their heads to look subconsciously, and caught the man's eyes unexpectedly.
Shen Yan did not change his face to the north, and arched his hands at the man: "Li Juren." Sitting on the carriage was Juren Li Yi!
Li Yi actually smiled at a few people for an unprecedented time, raised his hand to make Stoudemire stop the carriage, looked at the people in Shen Yanbei with a pleasant look, and said: "The sun is going to rise, and the ox cart is slow and drying. The carriage is spacious, why don’t you come up and sit together?"
Hearing this, several people were stunned, looked at each other, and all saw suspiciousness in each other's eyes.
Shen Yanbei smiled slightly and said: "Don't dare to nag, this mountain scenery is quite good, let's walk slowly and take a look."
Being rejected, Li Yi did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he said, "It doesn't matter if you are used to it, but Master Su can't bear this bitterness." After that, his expression was gentle and said to Su Qingze: "Master Su should go to the county office too. It’s the same way, why don’t you come up for a cup of tea?"
Before Su Qingze could answer, Ming An snorted coldly: "My young master can't be used to riding in such a simple carriage!"
Li Yi's face was a bit ugly, but he still persuaded him with patience: "Although the carriage is simple, but it can be shaded, be careful to damage your son."
"No, this is good. I like to ride in a bullock cart." Su Qingze directly refused. If he was comfortable, he would have been picked up!
The bottom fist was squeezed, and Li Yi tried his best to keep a smile: "If that's the case, then don't disturb Young Master Su enjoying the scenery. See you at the county office."
Su Qingze nodded lightly.
"Lie Lie Lie!" Ming An made a grimace at the carriage that was going away.
"That's right!" Zhou Yu echoed in an angry voice, "He must have known the identity of Su Gongzi before he could try to curse!"
Like everyone thought, Li Yi really wanted to climb Su Qingze.
Knowing that his actions that day did not make Shen Yanbei embarrassed at the crowning ceremony, but also made him show off, Li Yi was angry and jealous, but also regretted.
Why can't he meet such a nobleman?
If you can make friends with the son of such a famous family, it will definitely help him in his future career! If he attended Shen Yanbei's crown ceremony that day, he would have to know each other...
The ambitious Li Yi thought so, but didn't know that the other party disgusted him.
"I have seen a thick-skinned person, I have never seen such a thick-skinned one!" Ming'an was full of disgust, "I used to drink morning tea in the restaurant and indulged people around us to grab our snacks, turning around and leaning forward as if nothing had happened. There is not even an apology! I'm pooh!"
"What's the matter?" Shen Yanbei couldn't help asking when hearing the words dim sum in the restaurant.
Mingan immediately said the domineering actions of Li Sheng and Wang Cheng on the day the Tongfu restaurant opened. Shen Yanbei was taken aback: "Is one with a mole on his chin and the other with a cyan brocade robe with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek? "
Ming An nodded fiercely: "How do you know, son Shen? Don't you?"
Shen Yanbei said helplessly: "The one with moles is Li Sheng, the eldest son of Li Yuanwai in Lijia Village, and the young man with the sharp-mouthed 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 the two of them were also disrespectful to the magistrate's wife who came to the restaurant for morning tea, and the magistrate was awarded the top ten."
"What?" Su Qingze widened his eyes, puffing up a bun face, "How dare they bully my sister!"
Ming'an is also angrily: "Auntie shouldn't just hit them on the board, they should be put in prison!"
Zhou Yu doesn't agree with Ming An's statement: "This only treats the symptoms, not the root cause, but Li Juren!"
Everyone was silent for a while.
Shen Yan was expressionless to the north: "Li Juren united most of the village chiefs and asked villagers in nearby villages to raise funds to build public schools. He will serve as the dean."
"This kind of person wants to teach and educate people?" Ming'an exclaimed, "Can he teach students well?"
Su Qingze also doubted. On the day Shen Yan went to catch the duck thief, he didn't have time to rush over. He learned the situation from the mouths of the villagers who had returned. If Shen Yanbei was not fully prepared at that time, 80% of the Lijiacun people who stole the ducks would be sheltered by Li Yi.
Can this kind of misbehaving person be better than the head of any hospital?
"I'll talk to my brother-in-law about this matter when I go back." Su Qingze said sternly. The imperial court encourages the application of colleges, and special funds will be allocated to public schools. Therefore, the establishment of public schools is not a trivial matter. It needs to be declared and approved before it can be processed.
"Thank you!" It is a good thing to start a school, but he is afraid that the villagers' hard money will not be used in real life, and he is even more afraid that Li Yi will mislead his children.
After shaking, the county seat had arrived, and a group of people went straight to the official residence behind the county government.
Because of the banquet held today, there were many carriages parked beside the vermilion lacquer gate behind the mansion. Many squires who came to see with gifts were waiting by the side, and the housekeeper was busy greeting them.
Those with invitations stepped forward to show the invitations and then walked in. Those without invitations could only wait for the butler to send someone to report.
Seeing an ox cart coming from a distance, the butler was overjoyed and immediately let someone open the middle door and welcome the ox cart to enter.
what happened? Everyone who was turned away was dumbfounded. Those of them who come to see you with courtesy and sincerity are no better than a few hillbilly plowing fields?
The bullock cart stopped and Su Qingze jumped down. The butler looked up and down, and smiled: "Madam was nagging you early in the morning, go there soon!" The boy in front of him lost weight, but he seemed more energetic.
Turning his head and said to Shen Yanbei: "Master is in the study, please, Master Shen, please!"
Shen Yanbei glanced at Gu Changfeng, and Gu Changfeng said in a low voice, "I'll meet the madam of the county magistrate." The men and women were sitting in separate seats. He was a pair of children and had to be with the family members. Although he doesn't know how to deal with female family members, as Shen Yanbei's husband, he must learn to deal with certain relationships.
Shen Yanbei smiled to make him not nervous, so he took Zhou Yu and the housekeeper to see Li Zhiyuan.
"Brother Gu, let's go here! I'll take you to see my little nephew!" Su Qingze greeted.
Gu Changfeng nodded, and walked to the Moon Cave with Su Qingze.
