Cannon fodder Gong Just Wants To Take The Imperial Examination [MTL]

Chapter 30

Generally, a teacher must prepare a bundle of six rituals, which are celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan, and meat strips. However, due to different time, space and regions, the rules of apprenticeship will be slightly changed according to the local area.

In places like Fengxue Town, Qingcheng County, Shu Xiu usually gave one tael of silver and a piece of meat. If people value etiquette more, they will also prepare things like celery.

Shen Chenyu prepared silver, a piece of meat, and a box of good tea. He deliberately inquired about Master Liu's preferences, so he replaced the celery with tea. Shen Chenyu prepared the things that should be prepared, and waited for the day chosen with Liu Fuzi, and came to visit the teacher with the gift he had prepared.

...

When Shen Chenyu came back from the outside, she found Mu Linting sitting in the yard waiting for him. At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and Mu Linting's figure was hidden in the darkness, and the whole person looked a little indescribably lonely.

Mu Linting was like this, he hid all his emotions deeply, and rarely showed such a lonely expression. Seeing this, Shen Chenyu was a little touched, thinking that he was too busy these days, and Mu Linting must be bored at home every day.

Shen Chenyu was thinking about walking towards Mu Linting, probably because he heard Shen Chenyu's footsteps, and soon he restrained his emotions and turned his eyes to "look" at Shen Chenyu.

"A child came before, and the other party threw this away and ran away. I wonder if it is a child you know?"

Shen Chenyu looked at Mu Linting's hands after hearing this, and then saw a palm-sized ginseng. Although Shen Chenyu doesn't know many herbs, ginseng is so easy to recognize, it's a little difficult for Shen Chenyu to recognize it.

"He gave this thing? Didn't he say anything to you?"

Mu Linting shook his head lightly, with no joy in his eyes. Even if he is holding a ginseng at this moment, there is not much emotion on his face.

Shen Chenyu's eyes flickered, and she quickly guessed who gave this thing. After he went back to the room with Mu Linting, he told Mu Linting about the crazy boy.

There is nothing to hide about this matter. He didn't say before that it wasn't because he didn't trust Mu Linting, but because he never found a chance to talk to Mu Linting. Now that Mu Linting knew about the ginseng, Shen Chenyu took this opportunity to explain it to him.

As for the crazy boy who has ginseng, Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting can vaguely guess why he didn't sell it in the town.

The reason why crazy kids pretend to be crazy is to protect themselves from being hurt by others. If his life suddenly improves, not only will he attract the attention of others, but he will also be peeped by some malicious people.

Although the mad boy has grown up a bit, in fact he is still a little brother. He also has a notorious mother who can only live if he is crazy.

He should have found this ginseng when he went up the mountain, because it was inconvenient for him to sell it for money. Now, in order to thank Shen Chenyu for saving his life, he sent the ginseng to Shen Chenyu's home.

Shen Chenyu didn't return the ginseng. In the case of the crazy kid, even if he had ginseng, there was no way to change his current life immediately. Second, Shen Chenyu not only took the risk to save the crazy child, but also spent a lot of energy and expensive materials.

After Shen Chenyu accepts the ginseng, the madman doesn't have to feel guilty because he owes him, let alone be afraid that Shen Chenyu will blackmail him in the future. For Shen Chenyu and Crazy Wazi, this is a very fair and just transaction, and the two of them will not owe each other in the future.

Shen Chenyu asked Mu Linting to keep the ginseng and sell it for money when he went to the town to learn from his teacher. After that, Shen Chenyu turned around in the space, and handed Mu Linting the things he bought in the town today.

Mu Linting squeezed what was in his hand, a little confused about what was in his hand. Before he could feel what was in his hand with his sense of touch, Shen Chenyu at the side reached out to help him open the oiled paper bag.

There are a few small snacks in the oiled paper bag, because they are placed in Shen Chenyu's space, the snacks in the oiled paper bag are still warm at this moment. When he was shopping for meat in the town today, he saw a few brothers beside him kept talking about the dim sum from this restaurant, so he followed him in and bought a few yuan for Mu Linting.

On the way, Shen Chenyu ate a piece. Shen Chenyu, who was used to eating all kinds of delicacies in her previous life, didn't think this kind of snack was delicious. But he knew that this era was very backward, and this kind of dim sum was already very good for ordinary people.

When Shen Chenyu opened the oiled paper bag, Mu Linting smelled a strange sweet smell, and he guessed it should be something like dim sum.

Mu Linting didn't expect Shen Chenyu to bring him snacks, and he was not used to being cared about so bluntly, so he didn't know what to do for a while.

Seeing this, Shen Chenyu was amused and distressed, he urged Mu Linting to quickly pick it up and taste it, the dim sum was the best when it was just made.

Being urged by Shen Chenyu like this, Mu Linting could only take out a piece of snack and put it in his mouth. Shen Chenyu's eyes moved with his movements, and then he found that Mu Linting not only had good-looking eyes, but the shape of his lips was also pretty if you looked closely.

Especially at this time under the dim light, after the scar on Mu Linting's face was softened by the light, Shen Chenyu vaguely saw his original appearance.

Mu Linting could feel Shen Chenyu's focused gaze, he didn't understand what was so good about his ugly appearance, why did this person keep staring at his face endlessly? Just when Mu Linting was not used to it and wanted to turn around, there was a soft knock on the door by Mrs. Shen Liu from outside.

Shen Chenyu heard the voice and got up to open the door, only to see outside the door besides Shen Liushi and Xiao Roubao, there was a young man who was a bit unfamiliar.

As soon as the other party saw Shen Chenyu coming out, he greeted Shen Chenyu with a smile, and the two of them exchanged a few polite words, and Shen Chenyu knew the identity of the other party. This man is the eldest son of the village head of Xiling Village. Shen Chenyu should have seen him before, and I don't know what he is talking about now?

It was already night now, and it was inconvenient for Shen Chenyu to invite him in, so the two went to the yard to talk. Seeing this, Shen Liu glanced at the village chief's son, and then entered Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting's room with the little meat bun in his arms.

Shen Liushi usually would not enter their room, the main reason was that she was not familiar with them. Shen Liushi came in at this time to find Mu Linting. She handed the small meat bun in her bosom to Mu Linting to hold, and mysteriously took out a silver bracelet.

Mrs. Shen Liu whispered to Mu Linting: "I am not capable as a mother-in-law, so I can't give you anything of value. But there is a rule in our Xiling Village, that is, a mother-in-law must give her son's husband a meeting gift. Before I I have never had a chance to give you anything, so I just gave you this bracelet at this moment. Although...it is just a cheap silver bracelet, it also represents my heart as a mother-in-law."

Shen Liushi said Then, he put the bracelet on Mu Linting's wrist. Don't look at Mu Linting's height, but a little brother is a little brother, no matter how tall he is, his waist and wrists are still slender.

Shen Liushi easily put it on for him. Mu Linting is not a character who likes to push and refuse, because he knows that this is the traditional rule here, so he has no intention of rejecting Shen Liushi.

Although the relationship between him and Shen Chenyu is a bit complicated, what should be done on the surface is still to be done, otherwise Shen Liushi will easily find out that something is wrong. As for the future? If he and Shen Chenyu reconcile, he will never take away what doesn't belong to him.

When Mu Linting was distracted, Shen Liushi looked at Xiao Roubao and remembered something. "Lin Ting, our little meat buns don't have a decent name yet. You should have some snacks when you and brother Yu are free."

Shen Liushi has never read a book, and she doesn't know many words. She has no skills. To name the little grandson, I have been looking forward to Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting.

It's a pity that what Shen Liushi didn't know was that one of them was unreliable as a father and the other was unreliable. Up to now, they haven't given Xiaoroubao a name, which made the whole village follow their name.

A trace of guilt flashed across Mu Linting's face when he heard the words, he and Shen Chenyu were indeed negligent about choosing a name. "I see. When he comes back, I'll discuss it with him."

When Shen Liushi heard what he said, she felt a little relieved. After she left with Xiaoroubao in her arms, Shen Chenyu also came back from outside.

The village head's son is Feng Dahan, the only child-born master in Xiling Village, and the most valued young junior in Xiling Village.

Feng Dahan was born on the day of Dahan, so he took such a name. He is twenty-six years old this year, and his appearance is neither ugly nor good-looking, just the type that cannot be found in the crowd.

In addition to studying, Feng Dahan now also works as a teacher in the village. Before Shen Chenyu came to Xiling Village, Feng Dahan was very popular in several villages near and far. Even though he himself is not very good-looking, he is very popular with those girls and brothers.

The main reason why Feng Dahan came here this time was that the village chief wanted the two of them to make friends. Although the two of them are not the same master, they are both scholars after all and can help each other in their studies in the future.

Shen Chenyu and Feng Dahan had a brief chat, and found that Feng Dahan was a little arrogant. Although Feng Dahan's performance was very good from the beginning to the end, and he seemed to be very enthusiastic about Shen Chenyu inside and outside the words, but Shen Chenyu was still sensitive to a slight violation.

Feng Dahan probably felt that he was a child born, and Shen Chenyu was just a white body now, so he couldn't help feeling that he was superior to others.

In addition, when Shen Chenyu talked to him, she didn't hold him like other people, and she didn't feel happy because of his initiative. Afterwards, the two of them chatted with a feeling that they were not speculative.

After Shen Chenyu sent Feng Dahan away, she didn't get angry because Feng Dahan looked down on her, but she was stimulated to become more determined to study.

Seeing that Shen Chenyu had come back, Mu Linting took off the bracelet on his hand and told about Shen Liushi's visit.

Shen Chenyu glanced at the bracelet, wondering why Mu Linting didn't wear it? As if aware of Shen Chenyu's doubts, Mu Linting couldn't help but frowned and said, "I have to work every day, so it's not suitable for me to wear these. Besides, I can't see anything, so if I lose it, I will have to work hard to find it."

Shen Chenyu nodded when she heard the words, but she didn't bother with him about whether to wear the bracelet or not. Instead, she had a headache and pressed her temples. The name of the little meat bun was indeed a problem.
