Chapter 66: Back to the village

After the township test was released, the list of those who were in the middle of the examination was successively spread to various states and counties. When the three of Shen Yanbei returned from Qingzhou, the people of Dongjiang County also knew that Shen Xiucai of the original Shenjia Village won the Xieyuan of the Qinghe County in this township trial. .
The people of Shenjia Village who received the news are all boiling! In particular, the village head Shen Dezhong smiled so hard that he couldn't see the teeth, and there were many more folds on his face.
That day, when the three of Shen Yanbei had just returned to the entrance of Shenjia Village in a carriage, the children squatting under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village took a look, and immediately ran and shouted excitedly: "Master Juren is back!" "Master Juren is back!" Go!!"
"Quickly let go!" Shen Dezhong commanded the young guy in the village to light the firecrackers hanging in the village, and the festive and lively firecrackers immediately sounded, deafening.
"Master Juren!" The villagers who came to hear the sound greeted them with cheers.
This battle made Shen Yanbei dumbfounded, and he took Gu Changfeng and walked directly towards Shen Dezhong. Zhou Yu, who followed the two of them, had never received the enthusiasm of the villagers, and smiled like a fool.
"Yanbei! You really gave us Shenjiacun a big face!" Shen Dezhong smiled. They came out in Shenjiacun for a solution, and Li Yi, the imprisoned Juren in Lijiacun next door, was ranked on the sub-list at the beginning of the township examination!
Now they have surplus food in every household in Shenjiacun, and they can also eat meat from time to time. Everyone's life is moist, and now Shen Yanbei has won the Jieyuan in one fell swoop. So far, the haze of Shenjiacun who was riding on his head for many years has disappeared. . Everyone in Shenjiacun has their waists straight!
"It's just a fluke." Shen Yanbei smiled helplessly. Understanding the Yuan in this is similar to entering the provincial key middle school in the high school entrance examination, but the specifics depend on the college entrance examination!
Seeing his expression as usual, not at all arrogant and complacent, Shen Dezhong was even more happy, patted his shoulder and said nothing. Shen Youcai squeezed out, with a smile on his face: "Master Juren, you are so powerful, can you give me some advice?"
"My family is written and hardworking, so I only need a famous teacher to give advice!"
Shen Dezhong said in an unpleasant manner: "The Yan Beizhou has been exhausted, you will wait for someone to rest before talking." He is also happy that there are more people in the village who can read more, but some people really can't support the wall!
The young man in the village smiled and said, "If you have an uncle Cai, your family can use their energy to study, and you can't say that your family can also be a talented master!"
Shen Youcai's face turned red and angrily said: "Go go! What nonsense!"
Ignoring Shen Youcai, Shen Dezhong asked Shen Yanbei to go home and have a good rest, and went to him in the afternoon to discuss the banquet. This is a joyous event to win Xie Yuan, so we must celebrate.
Shen Yanbei had no objection. After passing the test, he completely jumped out of the peasant class and stepped into the ranks of scholars. Daqi rewarded Juren generously, exempted from taxation, and received food!
The whole village was invited to the banquet this time, and all the villagers spontaneously came to help. The pots, pans, tables, chairs and benches all gathered together to live together.
Chicken, duck, fish, vegetables and rice were not enough at home, so Shen Yanbei directly asked the villagers to buy it, and then bought a big fat pig from a neighboring village and slaughtered it. This banquet was finished.
The other villagers who heard that Shen Yanbei had returned came to watch the excitement. At first glance, they saw that the people of Shenjia Village were preparing a banquet in full swing, and they were all envious.
Why is this Shenjiacun so lucky? Why is there no such nobleman in their village? Even if you lead everyone to get rich, they have become the patron of the villagers!
At the opening of the banquet, Shen Yanbei, the protagonist, raised the wine bowl and smiled to everyone: "Thank you brothers-in-law for preparing this meal, and thank you folks for showing their faces to the banquet! Thin wine mussels, please feel welcome!" Do it for you.
"Good!" There was a cheer in the field. Seeing that Shen Yanbei became a Juren Master, he was still as kind as before. Many villagers boldly stepped forward to toast, and Shen Yanbei accepted them one by one.
Gu Changfeng, who was sitting next to him, frowned slightly when he saw him coming.
Shen Yanbei's drinker is not very good, he will get drunk if he drinks too much. It doesn't matter if he is drunk, he takes him back. Just getting drunk will make the body uncomfortable.
Putting some meat and vegetables in Shen Yanbei's bowl, Gu Changfeng looked directly at him with black eyes: "Don't drink too much, eat first."
"Okay." Shen Yanbei glanced at the crowded bowl and picked up the chopsticks graciously.
Upon seeing this, the villagers were not happy to come to toast again, but each greeted: "Eat vegetables! Eat vegetables!"
To say that the most eye-catching thing right now is not Shen Yanbei, but Gu Changfeng.
Gu Changfeng has changed, and the villagers can feel it when they see him. Although the appearance is still the same as before, but the invisible temperament on the body has changed, especially the look in the eyes.
Before he was not good at words, he would feel constrained by personal affairs, but now he is sitting next to Shen Yanbei and surrounded by everyone, his resolute eyebrows are indifferent, like an unsheathed luxurious epee, introverted and thick, although sharp. Not exposed, but no one dares to despise it.
Shen Yanbei listened to the husband's words so much, everyone didn't dare to joke in his eyes, only a beautiful woman said sourly: "This is Brother Shen Yan's happy day, so what if you drink two more glasses? You need to point your finger like this. !"
The villagers who were sitting at the table with her just drank and ate food and didn't talk to each other. But a woman with high cheekbones pushed her with her hand, stared at her and urged in a low voice, "Go!"
The woman hesitated and looked up at the gentle, gentle, like Shen Yanbei standing among the vulgar villagers, thinking about what a beauty it would be if she could stand beside him and reap praise from everyone, biting her lip and calming her mind. Get up with a wine glass.
"Brother Shen Yan, I toast you! I wish you a title on the gold list next year!"
A voice that hadn't been heard for a long time suddenly rang in his ears, and Shen Yanbei, who was eating, was taken aback, turned his head and met the woman's pretty eyebrows.
The woman's eyes are pulsed, her eyes are eager.
Gu Chang's eyes darkened slightly. The woman is not someone else, it is Lin Wanru who he once seriously warned not to approach Shen Yanbei.
As early as when Lin Wanru left to go to the main table to toast, the villagers stared here. Seeing Gu Changfeng frowning tightly, he couldn't help squeezing his sweat for Lin Wanru, who knew that Shen Yanbei looked at Lin Wanru in a daze.
The villagers were shocked.
Is this a resurgence of old feelings? But Shen Yanbei let them know as soon as he spoke, they thought too much!
"It turned out to be Miss Lin!" Shen Yanbei suddenly realized, and then wondered, "Why are you still in the village?"
The smile on Lin Wanru's face suddenly froze.
Why are you still in the village?
Why are you not married yet?
Why haven't you married yet?
...
Lin Wanru tightened her hand holding the wine glass, her face pale.
Shen Yan said expressionlessly from the north face: "I have accepted your good words. I wish you a lucky man as soon as possible, and you don't have to waste time!" After taking a sip, he put down the wine glass and turned to Gu Chang to seal it. Cut the chicken for nothing: "The bamboo chicken we raise is delicious. Wife, please try it!"
The villagers also understood the meaning of Shen Yan's northern dialect, and Lin Wanru's eyes became more subtle.
Lin Wanru is always picky because of her beauty. She is not satisfied with what the matchmaker introduced to her. Shen Yan was kind to her before, but she disliked the desolate and impoverished Shen family, hanging Shen Yan while getting close to others. Later, I caught up with Li Yi from Li's village and wanted to be his wife. So despite the grievances between the two villages, he secretly met with Li Yi and brought him news. As a result, Li Yi fell, and Shen Yan stood up again. She recovered a lot of illness and made a lot of money. She wanted to lean over again, but Shen Yan was heartbroken by her and refused.
Now that Shen Yan has won Xie Yuan in one fell swoop, she was moved by her heart, and wanted to post it, and even flattering her husband in front of her was really shameless!
Looking at everyone's contemptuous eyes, Lin Wanru's blood faded, she drank the wine with her pale face, and she didn't stay there anymore.
"Hey! What are you running! It's really useless!" The woman cursed with hatred, and walked directly towards Shen Yanbei without fear of others' eyes.
"I said, Shen Yan, you don't know why my Wanru wants to humiliate her like this?" The woman said angrily, "If you want to marry our Wanru, you can go from the village entrance to the county seat. You and she are married a long time ago! You still say such ridicule!"
Gu Changfeng's stern gaze shot at the woman like a sword. The woman fought a cold war, but still bit her head and said: "Look... what to see!
I...my family is wanru, beautiful and gentle, and Shen Yan's childhood sweethearts, talented men and women, sure... will give him a son and a half and become his good helper! "
"You are an old and ugly hen who can't lay eggs..."
As soon as he said this, Gu Chang's cover was as heavy as water, and his whole body was murderous, his fists clenched, and the dark eyes of the woman were filled with suicide.
A terrifying murderous aura hung over her body, like a huge mountain pressing the top, the woman's words got stuck in her throat, her feet softened, and she knelt down immediately.
The villagers were shocked by the scene, and no one dared to speak for a while.
Shen Yanbei took Gu Changfeng's hand, broke his hands one by one, and clasped his fingers, then looked at the woman with cold eyes: "What does other people's minds do to me? Marry or not to marry. What does it have to do with me?"
"I am selfish, and I am greedy for glory, but I still have to rely on others..." Shen Yanbei pulled Gu Changfeng up and said, "If my husband has a gap with me, I will not let you go."
"Don't let me see the disgusting faces of your mother and daughter! Get me out of Shenjiacun!"
After speaking, the two went hand in hand through the banquet crowd and went straight home.
Aunt Li was the first to jump out: "I said the Lin family, I have seen shameless people, I have never seen you shameless!"
"That's right! The couple is good, and you are deliberately disgusting. It's really despicable and shameless!" Wu Sange's wife Jinhua scolded.
Shen Qiukui also cursed with arms akimbo: "How good do you think your daughter is? It's not worthy to give Big Brother Gu shoes!"
The other villagers also yelled: "There is no such shameless person in Shenjia Village, get out!"
"Okay, okay! Don't say it!" Shen Dezhong shouted with an ugly expression, and everyone was quiet.
"A good banquet will mess up for you!" Shen Dezhong was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "I have misbehavior, and my heart is not right! We are a small temple in Shenjiacun, and can't tolerate you, the big Buddha of the Lin family. You should find another place to settle down! "
"Get out!"
"Get out!!"
...
Behind him came the angry shouts of villagers. Shen Yanbei held Gu Changfeng's hand tightly, feeling very guilty: "I'm sorry, Changfeng."
Gu Changfeng looked at the two intertwined fingers, and his voice was dull: "It's not your fault. I'm not angry. I'm just..."
Just some vinegar.
Shen Yanbei raised his hand in front of him, kissed him, and laughed teasingly: "It's my fault! I should write the words'Gu Changfeng All' on my face!"
Gu Changfeng's face was hot, slightly embarrassed.
"It's great, my wife likes me so much!" Shen Yanbei sighed, looking very satisfied.
The young man's mouth was smiling, and his eyes were full of joy. Gu Changfeng's heart was moved, and the depression in his heart disappeared.
The next day, the two took a carriage to the county to meet Li Zhiyuan and his wife.
"I have seen Grand Prince!" Li Zhiyuan looked at Gu Changfeng with complicated eyes, feeling quite excited.
Shen Yanbei raised his eyebrows, he was indeed the emperor's confidant. Li Zhiyuan knew his wife's identity so soon.
"The adults don't need to be polite, just as usual." Gu Changfeng said hurriedly. Although he is the eldest son of the Zhenguo Mansion, he has no official position and cannot accept Li Zhiyuan's gift.
Li Zhiyuan shook his head, his eyes eagerly: "Do you remember what happened on the Huaishuling River in the outskirts of Beijing in Yuanhe in the 14th year of Yuanhe?" He went to the capital for an exam and passed by a river in Huaishuling. Shui, unexpectedly met a group of robbers, the robbers saw him alone with a murderous intention, but fortunately a tall young man saved him!
"By the Huaishuling River?" Gu Changfeng frowned, then his face was slightly surprised: "That scholar is you?"
really! Li Zhiyuan expressed his gratitude, "Thanks to the great prince who saw an uneven road back then and drew his sword to help! Otherwise, it will be hard for Li to have today." After learning of Gu Changfeng's identity, he was shocked, thinking that his savior looked similar to Gu Changfeng, and he was born in his heart. A guess, after a try, it's really the other party!
"Such a coincidence?" Shen Yanbei was a little surprised.
"This is fate!" Li Zhiyuan smiled and invited the two to sit down.
"It's indeed fate." Shen Yan's Bei Dynasty raised his eyebrows, "A good man has a reward!" His wife saved Li Zhiyuan, and Li Zhiyuan could marry Su Qingze's sister Su Wanqing. Later, he and Su Qingze became friends and were invited. Came to attend Li Zhiyuan’s son’s birthday party, and found pepper, and then Li Zhiyuan became a teacher for him...
"Yeah." Gu Changfeng also laughed.
Hearing the two came, Su Wanqing brought Li Lin to meet the guests. The little boy was much taller, and he recognized the two of Shen Yanbei. He opened his mouth and called Uncle Shen and Uncle Gu, which was very attractive.
At noon, I had lunch at Li Zhiyuan. After the meal, Li Zhiyuan and Shen Yanbei went to the study to discuss matters.
"You want to take part in the meeting next February?"
Shen Yanbei nodded and said earnestly: "Changfeng is the eldest son of the Guogong Mansion. I am a mere juror, and he is not a good match."
Li Zhiyuan felt the same way. He was just a poor talent back then, and it took a lot of effort to marry Su Wanqing. but……
"Time is too tight."
"So I came to you."
Li Zhiyuan was taken aback and hesitated: "I have been participating in the test for many years, I am afraid that it will delay you..."
"I have the test questions and excellent articles that have been tested in the past few years, which is a gift from Qingze." Shen Yanbei took out several thick question sets. Needless to say, these few information books similar to the three and five must be asked by the emperor.
"This..." Li Zhiyuan turned over and said, "I can teach you how to write, how to make sentences, but the test sites are generally related to the situation in the country. You'd better go to the capital before the test and learn more about the country. And the court policy." They are far from Yongjing, and many news have arrived late.
"It takes about eight days for Dongjiang to go to Qingzhou by the waterway, and half a month for Qingzhou to go to Shanghe County, and then from Shanghe County to Yongjing by land..." Shen Yanbei stopped, "I can leave for Yongjing in the next year."
Enke only opened for two years. If you missed the spring season next year, you will have to wait three years.
He can't wait.
