When Mr. Wen saw his married wife weeping, his heart felt tight, especially when she said that before marrying him, she had never suffered any hardships, but after marrying him, she had endured all kinds of hardships! It made him panic.
They are childhood sweethearts! Without her, he wouldn't be where he is today.
If his mother hadn't disliked Guizhi for not giving birth to a child for many years after getting married, and later she got drunk and had sex with her cousin Zhu, and she got pregnant all at once, they wouldn't have...
He moved his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything. He sighed and left dejectedly.
When she got home, Mrs. Zhu didn't notice anything wrong with Mr. Wen, and asked expectantly: "How was it? Did Cai Fangzi ask?"
After hearing this, Mr. Wen raised his head and looked at Zhu with complicated eyes.
Zhu's face froze: "What's wrong?"
Mr. Wen looked at her for a while and then looked away: "Ask Dalang to help Si Lang pay two hundred taels of silver and build them a large brick house with tiles. I will tell Dalang the recipe!"
When Mrs. Zhu heard this, she was furious, and blurted out what was in her heart: "Don't rob that bitch Wang! Two hundred taels of silver to build a house can't support her! It's like a lion's mouth! I don't even have a tael of silver." I will give it to her! She is dreaming! How can anyone be as heartless and unjust as her! Dalang is Shiro’s eldest brother, and he won’t help!”
After hearing this, Mr. Wen gave her a complicated look, ignored her, and went straight into the room to lie down.
Only then did Zhu realize that she had said the wrong thing. Something was wrong with Mr. Wen. It must have been something that bitch Wang said.
She chased after her, and Zhu rolled her eyes and said gently: "Old man, brother Liang is going to end soon. The imperial examination costs the most money. The business of the restaurant has not been very good in the past two years. Where can I get two hundred taels of silver?" ? Why don’t you let Shiro come out with the food recipes first, and then when the restaurant’s business is good, then you can compensate them with the two hundred taels of silver and build a house for them?”
Mr. Wen: "If you don't have money, wait until you have money. Shiro's family still lives in a bamboo house! If we don't have money to build a house, we will freeze to death in the winter. Do you know? Okay, I'm tired, I want to take a nap." , don’t disturb me!”
Zhu's face turned black with anger after hearing this. It was none of her business that her family didn't have a house! It's better to freeze to death!
But she wouldn't say this to Mr. Wen's face.
"Old man..."
No matter what Zhu said next, Mr. Wen did not speak.
Mr. Wen's attitude made Zhu feel a little panicked and hurried to the town.
Unexpectedly, there was a huge happy event waiting for her in the town, and they didn't care about the recipe.
But that night, Mr. Wen didn't even fall asleep. He tossed and turned in bed, doubting his life.
—
Being made such a fuss by Mr. Wen, the whole family felt a little depressed, especially the Wang family.
With such a husband-in-law, it is natural that my heart is very tight! If she were Wang, she would have castrated Old Man Wen long ago! Nuan thought.
"I have good news, do you want to hear it?!" Wen Nuan deliberately drew everyone's attention.
As expected, everyone was attracted. Ms. Wang cheered up and said, "Sister Nuan, what good news do you have?"
Wen Ran: "What good news does sister have? Have you thought of another way to make money?"
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and tell me! Second brother has my full support!" Wenhou rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was going to do something big.
"I have a lot of ways to make money, what kind of good news is this?" Wen Nuan glanced at them in surprise.
family:"... ... ."
What should I do if this flattering tone makes people have the urge to hit them
Wen Nuan took out the recommendation letter from Nalan Jinnian and a few books he sent and put them on the table casually: "This is the recommendation letter and books from Brother Seventeen. The eldest brother, second brother and Brother Luo can take them. With this letter of recommendation, go to Fucheng Lushan Academy to find Mr. Lin Honghao to become a disciple."
After hearing this, Wen Jiarui stood up so excitedly that he kicked over his stool: "Sister Nuan, who did you say you should go to Lushan Academy to apprentice with?"
"Mr. Lin Honghao! What's wrong?"
Wen Jiarui picked up the letter of recommendation in disbelief and rubbed his eyes three times before confirming that he had read it correctly. It did have the words Lin Honghao written on it: "Sister Nuan, Lin Honghao is the principal of Lushan Academy." ,do you know?"
warmth:"... ... ."
she does not know!
"Mr. Lin has semi-retired and never accepts apprentices. It is a great blessing for the students in the academy to get his guidance. Those who are not talented and knowledgeable do not have such an opportunity! Shiqi doesn't know how to convince him. Mr. Lin accepted you as his disciple, but it will never be easy! You should prepare well these two days, and dad will take you to apprentice the day after tomorrow! Don’t let down your Seventeenth Brother’s kindness, you know?”
Lushan Academy is the best academy in the entire Jiangning Prefecture, and its director, Lin Honghao, is a great scholar of the time.
Students from all over the country come here to study.
Being able to study in Lushan Academy is half a foot in the door to be a scholar, because the students who come out of Lushan Academy are all scholars at the very least.
One-quarter of the officials in the court were students from Lushan Academy.
There are almost two hundred colleges in the entire Nalan Kingdom. Except for the Imperial College in Beijing, no other college can match them.
This is the sacred temple that all students in heaven long for!
He knew the wife of the White Deer Academy in the town. He originally planned to send his children to the White Deer Academy in the spring, but he never dreamed that they would be able to enter the Lushan Academy.
Admission to Lushan Academy requires two basic requirements: a letter of recommendation and an entrance exam.
Every October 15th is the annual admissions exam.
"We owe Shi Qi a huge favor again."
Wen Jiarui didn't know that the design drawings of the Liannu and the towers that Wen Nuan had brought out were no worse than this letter of recommendation, and were even said to be much more important!
That is a major event to protect our country and benefit the people!
Wen Jiarui thought in his heart, who is Shi Qi, that he even knows Mr. Lin
Knowing that he is a child of a wealthy family, it seems that he may be much richer than he thought.
he
Wen Chun nodded solemnly.
Wang became nervous after hearing this, and said, "Brother Chun, you three brothers should be well prepared. Don't go selling snails tomorrow."
Wen Chun carefully picked up a book and left: "I'm going to read a book right now."
He likes to read and longs to go to school. Nothing is more cherished than lost things.
"Then I'll read a book too." Wen Hou hesitated for a moment, then picked up a book and left.
Both brothers went there. Although Wen Luo wanted to continue listening to everyone talk, he still picked up the book and followed them obediently.
Wen Jiarui: "If you don't understand anything, just ask dad."
Wen Jiarui finally passed the examination and became the first among all children. On weekdays, when he had time, he would also guide several children in reading and literacy.
If it hadn't been for his disfigurement, he might have become an official in the government now. This was a regret in his life.
Nuan Nuan did not miss the disappointment in his eyes, looking at the scar on his face, which was made to block the robber's knife for San Bo.
Nuan Nuan felt something in his heart, maybe Wen Jiarui could take the imperial examination again.
We just have to wait until everything recovers in spring to have enough materials.
The most important thing now is to build a house.
