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

Chapter 34

 In the half month that Shen Chenyu was studying, the eldest son of the Shen family went to Qingcheng County twice. These two trips sold more cribs than the first one, with 15 cribs and 22 cribs sold respectively. In addition to the deposit and share given by others, Shen Chenyu divided another nearly seventy taels of silver.

This time, when the Shen family came to give money, they asked Shen Chenyu to ask for help from the family members. Because of the fact that the eldest son of the Shen family made money, many people in Xiling Village were jealous. At this time, they have to unite with the people in the clan, so as not to be tripped by some red-eyed people.

Although the folk customs in Xiling Village are simple and honest, most of them are honest people who farm the land. But it is said that money is touching, because Dafang has made money during this period, even the people in the clan can't help but start talking bitterly, let alone those villagers who have been living a hard life.

Under absolute interests, once a jealous heart arises, people will be extremely terrifying. Last night, Aunt Shen said that she heard strange movements, and she was so worried that she didn't sleep well. Today she asked the Shen family to bring the two dogs back, and she always felt that someone was following their family.

Shen Chenyu felt that it would be good to recruit the clansmen, so that even if those people really made up their minds, they would have to weigh the consequences of offending the entire Shen family.

After all, the Shen family's business is a small business, and there is no way to get all the clansmen to participate, so they can only choose a few young men to help. But even so, it brought the Shen family a lot closer.

After the busy spring, there was a period of time when everyone was relatively free. Shen Chenyu thought that the people in the clan were also idle, so it's better to find some small things for them to do. In this way, they would have no time to envy the Shen family, and at the same time, it would allow them to earn a little money to live a good life.

In fact, the so-called envy and jealousy are mostly because everyone is too poor. If everyone is living a good life, who would stare at other people's homes when they have nothing to do.

Shen Chenyu went to find the second grandpa that night, and mentioned some of her little ideas to him. After Uncle Shen made a crib, there would be a lot of scraps left over.

Those corners can't make big pieces, but it's a pity to throw them all away. Shen Chenyu spent a little time making some patterns, and wanted the people in the clan to make some small puppets out of leftover materials.

This thing is sold as a rarity, Shen Chenyu's patterns are more vivid and interesting, many of them are made after small dolls of later generations. Although these puppets can't be sold for a lot of money, they can make a little money because they are so small and exquisite.

Because the crib was Shen Chenyu's idea, the people in the clan were very convinced by Shen Chenyu, and quickly made a batch for trial sale.

There is no cost for small puppets, and it takes a little time to make them. It can be said to be a small business with zero cost. The people in the clan saw that these puppets were very beautiful, and thought that even if they couldn't sell them, they could hang them at home as decorations, so they didn't have any pressure on this small business.

In order not to steal business from their own family members, the family members went to several nearby towns to sell in batches. Because the puppet is very delicate and cute, it is very popular with young girls and brothers. Almost every time it is sold, it is sold out quickly.

One time, the Shen family was going to sell small beds in the county town. There was a brave little brother in the family, so he took the family puppets to the county town, but he never thought that it would be better than selling them in the town. The price of the puppet has also more than doubled.

After starting with one person, more people began to go to the county. In the past, they were afraid to go to the county town, because they always felt that they would be looked down upon if they went to a place like the county town.

Now, in the face of being able to make money and live a good life, they feel that it is okay to lose a little face, at least losing face is not as good as being poor to death.

After the Shen clan made a small fortune, it was the busiest time in Xia Tian in the blink of an eye. For nearly two months, Shen Chenyu lived in the town most of the time.

In the beginning, Shen Chenyu wanted to exercise, but later Mrs. Liu gave him a little treatment. After Shen Chenyu needed to do more and more homework, it seemed like a waste of time for Shen Chenyu to run back and forth.

Dr. Liu was very optimistic about Shen Chenyu's future, and he wanted to force him in the last period of time, so after that, Shen Chenyu lived in a private school, and lived in the same yard as other students preparing for the exam in the private school.

They live in the yard of Mr. Liu's private school, and only need to pay fifty cash for accommodation a month. As for the food and drink of the crowd, some can bring food from home, and then feel free to give the teacher a little hard work, and ask the teacher to help them cook three meals a day. There are also some students from good families who will take the money to eat in restaurants in the town.

Shen Chenyu eats in the town part of the time, and asks his wife to help make two meals part of the time, and some time just eats the food in the space.

People are creatures that are easily infected by their surroundings. Shen Chenyu was not very anxious about academic matters at first, but was later brought by a few students who were like idiots, and she was infected by them without knowing it and worked hard stand up.

For nearly two months, Shen Chenyu sometimes went back every four or five days, and sometimes she went back only after being dizzy for ten or so days. If there is anything in Xiling Village in the middle, someone from the Shen family or members of the clan will come to the private school to discuss with Shen Chenyu.

This time, there will be a five-day holiday during the busy farming season. As soon as Shen Chenyu came back from the private school in the town, he found that many people from the clan had come to the house. Before Shen Chenyu wondered what they were doing, Shen Lianghan pulled his son over. "Brother Yu, it's like this... Everyone has made a lot of money with you during this period of time

. Thinking that you are so smart, there must be a reason for studying, so we thought we should send all the children to study?"

He made a lot of money, although the amount of money was not comparable to that of the eldest son of the Shen family, but he could barely send his children to learn two big characters.

It is very difficult for peasants to study and take the imperial examination. It almost takes hard work of the whole family. They have no ability to send their children to private schools, so they can only send them to the teachers in the village to learn two big characters.

Shen Chenyu felt pretty good when she heard the words, it's better to recognize two big characters than to be blind, and it will save her from being fooled when she goes out in the future. Shen Chenyu looked at the few children in the clan, and there was no guarantee that they would become great talents if they went to study. After all, not everyone likes to study.

Some people are born to study, and some people can't read it even if they are beaten to death. Everything depends on their own choices. Shen Chenyu will not force everyone to study because she thinks reading is useful, she will only patiently analyze the pros and cons with them.

"No matter how well you study in the future, you should try it first. If your child likes to read and has a talent for reading, then train him well, and maybe you can rely on him to change your family status in the future. As for... For those who really don't like reading, you don't need to force them to read, after all, reading is not the only way to go."

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard the words, because Shen Chenyu's words were completely different from those of the village head's son, Feng Dahan. When they asked Feng Dahan before, that person had a face full of greatness about reading. He also said that if they don't study, they will be mud legs all their lives, as if they can be superior to others after reading.

They originally thought that Shen Chenyu was also a scholar, and that scholars would try their best to tout the benefits of reading, and then look condescending like Feng Dahan. The result is actually different. Shen Chenyu supports them to let their children study for enlightenment, but they don't want them to force their children to study.

In Shen Chenyu's view, not everyone is suitable for the imperial examination. After all, there is a saying that goes to the number one scholar. Some people are born good at reading, some people are born to fight, and sometimes they are born to be hunters, etc. It is more important to choose the path that suits you.

Just like Uncle Shen, he has not read any books, but he is a carpenter. As long as he works hard enough, he can also rely on his own skills to lead a large family to live a very good life.

Shen Chenyu chatted with them for a while, and then sent away all the people in the yard. Seeing Shen Chenyu's exhausted appearance, Shen Liushi helped Shen Chenyu boil hot water for him to take a bath.

Although the weather is getting hotter and hotter now, the nights in the mountains are still a bit chilly. Shen Chenyu's health is not very good, and she has always been a little chilly, so even in summer, she can't take a cold bath.

Shen Chenyu soaked in the warm bath water and couldn't help sighing comfortably. Although Mrs. Liu and his seniors treated him very well, the living conditions in the private school were too bad. Several big men lived in a small room, which made Shen Chenyu feel like returning to a university dormitory.

Now that she finally came home, Shen Chenyu didn't want to read books or account books at all, she just wanted to lie comfortably on the bed and rest. When Mu Linting came back after helping him pack his things, he found Shen Chenyu lying on the bed and falling asleep in a daze.

Shen Chenyu's sleeping appearance is not very honest, she not only likes to kick the quilt but also likes to rub against people's arms. In the past, the two of them shared a quilt in the winter, even if they slept on the same bed, there was nothing embarrassing about it.

But the situation is different now. Seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, even if they each cover a thin quilt, it is inevitable that there will be no physical contact.

Originally, Mu Linting was very worried, and he would be a little embarrassed when he lay down for a while, but he didn't expect that Shen Chenyu had already fallen asleep, which would save Mu Linting from feeling uncomfortable.

After the weather got hot, Mu Linting developed the habit of taking a bath every day. He took a shower earlier than Shen Chenyu, and now his hair is half dry.

He walked to the side of the bed and crawled carefully on the bed, but his fingertips touched Shen Chenyu's wet hair. He couldn't help worrying that Shen Chenyu would have a headache when she fell asleep like this. Mu Linting hesitated for a moment between waking Shen Chenyu and wiping for him, and finally decided to wipe it for him lightly.

Mu Linting's movements were very light, just like he usually treats the little meat buns, for fear of waking Shen Chenyu up if his movements are too big. As a result, because Shen Chenyu was so tired recently, Mu Linting helped him dry his hair and he didn't wake up.

Early the next morning, Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting woke up together. Because Shen Chenyu just had a terrible nightmare. In the dream, Shen Chenyu wanted to grab the ghost's collar in order to protect herself, but she tore off the collar of Mu Linting next to her, and by the way, grabbed Mu Linting's collar. The hair in front of Lin Ting.
