The gentle Shen Mingjun actually contradicted herself. This was something Li never thought of. She could only blame it on her daughter-in-law.

Li snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the house to the yard outside. When she came out, she quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a hand towel, not wanting people to see her weakness.

Chen Xi and Lin Dai were standing in the yard and listening in a slight manner. When they saw Li come out, Chen Xi quickly pulled Lin Dai to the storage room and hid.

When elders quarrel, the two juniors cannot get involved casually!

Chen Xi realized that Li was actually very sad. If it weren't for the decline of her family, why wouldn't she want all the descendants of Shen to study in elementary school and have a good way out in the future?

In the room, Shen Mingxin helped Shen Mingjun up and said in a blameful tone: "Fifth brother, I am not the one who is the elder brother, but my mother is not feeling well. When she is at home, she often talks about you, afraid that you will be tired and hungry, so she even asks her brother and sister to take her children to the city to see you, how can you contradict her?"

Shen Mingjun lowered his head ashamed: "I just want Xiaolang to have a future prospect, so I offended the Empress to pull us up through all her hardships, and then arranged to marry and have children for us. I dare not forget it forever."

Shen Mingxin looked at Zhou: "My brother and sister, my mother is the head of the Yi family. Even if we are younger generations, we cannot say it in front of our mother!"

Although it was Shen Mingxin's son who robbed Chen Xi of his study opportunity, Zhou was not prejudiced to Shen Mingxin and his wife. After all, she also voted for Shen Yuanyi at the beginning.

In terms of relationship, the fourth and fifth rooms of the Shen family were still relatively close. Zhou put on his skirt and said, "What the fourth uncle taught me is that Xiaolang is indeed appreciated by a master to have the opportunity to study. I also asked the fourth uncle to say a few good words in front of my mother, and I am very grateful."

As he said that, Zhou gave a gift to Shen Mingxin. Shen Mingxin quickly helped her up: "What are your brother and sister doing? Alas, my mother is angry now, how can I persuade her?"

Zhou said: "Xiao Lang has only been to school for a few days. Why don't you let your mother take him and Liulang to your husband's school entrance exam? If Xiaolang is the material for studying, let Xiaolang continue to study. If it doesn't work, we will give up!"

"This is a good way to solve the problem. You couple will go out with me and admit their mistakes with your mother." After that, Shen Mingxin took the lead in going out, and Shen Mingjun and his wife followed closely behind.

When they arrived at the door, the couple knelt down to Li at the same time to admit their mistakes.

Shen Mingxin supported Li and said, "Mom, you see that the youngest and his wife have come to admit your mistakes. Just forgive them. If you are angry, don't keep it in your heart."

Li snorted and said nothing.

At this time, Chen Xi and Lin Dai hid in the storage room, looked over their little heads, and looked through the half-closed door. Seeing Zhou kneeling on the ground, Lin Dai wanted to open the door and go out in a hurry. Chen Xi grabbed her: "Let's not worry about your affairs."

Lin Dai was very anxious: "I don't want my mother to kneel on the cold ground, I want to help her up."

"As you are obedient, at this time we go out to make trouble, or stay honestly." After saying that, Chen Xi pulled the little loli to her side, and then looked at her with a warning gaze.

Lin Dai struggled for a while, then buried her pretty face in Chen Xi's chest, and tears fell down.

At this time, Shen Mingxin's voice came from outside the door: "Mom, you often teach us that our family should be harmonious. Xiaolang is a child who has been smart since childhood. If he studied, he might not be able to become a talent."

Li said angrily: "Anyway, do you want to sing the opposite tune with your mother?"

"It's not that my son speaks for the youngest, but why don't my mother try whether Xiaolang has the potential to study? He has been in school for a few days and took him to his husband to take the exam with Liulang. If Xiaolang is really a seed of study, why don't my mother fulfill him? If it doesn't work, then my mother will take her younger brother and sister back to the village!"

Li was silent for a while, obviously considering whether this proposal was feasible.

In fact, the elderly will also worry about their children's feelings. They have fulfilled their fourth son who is dedicated to their family before, but the younger son is also dissatisfied. If Chen Xi can't get a good student through the school exam, Shen Mingjun and his wife will give up willingly, so they might as well give up.

After all, Chen Xi has only been studying for a few days. Even if an old Taoist priest taught him some knowledge before, it would not be possible that he would win the exam for three months before Shen Yuan.

"good."

Li finally surrendered, "But let me make it clear first. If Xiaolang is not a material for studying, you couple will die of this and you will not be resentful about it in the future."

Shen Mingjun kowtowed and said, "Thank you for giving Xiaolang a chance."

Li asked Shen Mingjun to prepare a gift to visit his husband. While it was dark, his family went to Su Yunzhong, a tutor at the Chengxue Pavilion.

The Su family lived behind the school hall. In the courtyard of four entrances, the other rooms were used as dormitories for students. Most of the students who opened the literature hall came from around Ninghua County. Many people had to go to school for two days and could not go home every day, so they could only choose to live in the school.

For example, when Shen Yongzhuo and Shen Yuan study, each person has a monthly living expenses and living expenses of 300 to 800 yuan per person during the study period. The two people add up to 700 yuan. It can be said that it is a very huge expense that ordinary people cannot afford.

When he arrived at the place, Shen Mingxin went to the dormitory to call Shen Yuan out. This trip was nominally to give gifts to his husband, but in fact it was to take the exam of Shen Yuan and Shen Xi's knowledge.

"Yanbaby, I can only win these for you. If you can't do it after entering, it's all right. I can only say that we don't have the life to study."

Before entering the Su Family Courtyard to pay a visit to the husband, Zhou took Chen Xi's hand and seemed very hesitant. Originally, her son was successful in elementary school and thought that life had a bright future. Who would have thought that if the exam was not smooth, the son's future would be ruined. How could she be willing to work hard to make money but make wedding clothes for others?

When he arrived at the Sujiazheng Hall, Su Yunzhong personally received it.

After all, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren came to visit and give gifts, and did not hit the smiling people. Even though Su Yunzhong seemed a bit perfunctory in teaching on weekdays, he was still kind of friendly in dealing with people and things.

"Mr. Su, I sent my grandson and the other three to you to study. I have no time to visit you on weekdays. Today I come to the city to thank you. I bring the gifts."

Li said, asking Shen Mingjun to send a bamboo basket containing tea cans, sugar cans and three-foot green cloth.

Su Yunzhong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You are polite, Mrs.."

After chatting for a while, Li said some compliments. Only afterwards did he think of something and asked, "My two grandchildren, don't know how to study on weekdays, but what makes the teacher embarrassed?"

Su Yunzhong looked at Shen Yuan and Shen Xi who were about the same size and nodded slightly: "Shen Yuan is a child who is smart and studious, and is not comparable to ordinary children. As for Chen Xi for a few days, he has not yet shown any sign of dew."

After saying this, Li and Shen Mingjun were in a very different mood.

Shen Mingjun and his wife were full of gloomy faces. Li looked at their son and daughter-in-law and said to Su Yunzhong with a smile: "I have a reluctant request here. Please ask the teacher to take the school to learn from them. If any child is less knowledgeable, let him go back to farm. After all, my Shen family cannot afford to study for two juniors. They can only choose between the two."

Only then did Su Yunzhong understand the purpose of Li's visit. He was used to meeting parents who were accustomed to apprenticeships and drop out of school. Nowadays, not every child has money to pay for his nephews to study. Even if he was well-off at home, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no changes at home in the future. It was common for him to drop out of school.

"My Master taught them not much. Now that he is learning the Analects of Confucius, the two of them might as well memorize the Analects of Confucius they have learned to see who remembers more."

As soon as Su Yunzhong finished speaking, Zhou immediately became anxious and wanted to defend his son.

Although Chen Xi said that she had studied with an old Taoist priest for a few days, it was not an orthodox knowledge. Chen Xi only went to school to study the Analects of Confucius for only five days. How could it be that Shen Yuan remembered more than Shen Yuan who had studied for three months?

Li stared at Zhou fiercely, and Shen Mingjun also pulled his wife's clothes, and Zhou retreated to the back sadly.

Li said: "Did you hear what sir say? Liulang, please recite it first."

"yes."

Shen Yuan first saluted Li and his husband, paused, and began to recite the chapter on the Learning of the Analects of Confucius. Yi recited six or seven chapters in a row, and there was only a slight pause in the middle, because some of the characters were not taught by Mr. Li, he did not know the meaning and could only rely on rote memorization.

However, he recited every word of the saint's words from him. Su Yunzhong nodded repeatedly and praised him. When Shen Yuan recited the yi chapter he had just learned, Su Yunzhong smiled and said, "I have a good memory, but there are a few mistakes in it. I should recite more after I go back."

"Yes, sir, students remember." Shen Yuan not only memorized it well, but also was very polite.

Then everyone's eyes fell on Shen Xi, and it was his turn to recite it.

Su Yunzhong thought that Chen Xi was a trainee and did not teach him the previous part at all, so he said, "You have not learned for a few days, so he can pick up what you know how to recite."

"Thank you, sir, you can recite it from scratch."

Chen Xi was not afraid at all, and stood forward with a calm and steady look. He also started to recite the chapter on the Analects of Confucius.

Chen Xi was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and the Analects of Confucius was not difficult for him at all. Moreover, because he understood the meaning of every sentence, he not only memorized fluently, but also made accurate pronunciation without any stagnation.

After memorizing the remarks I just learned, Chen Xi still did not stop. Taibo and Zihan went to the village party and recited all the last three Analects of the Analects, which had not yet been learned, before they were finished. There were no errors in the middle.

At the beginning, Zhou's face was full of despair, but after hearing her son's fluent reciting sound, her heart gradually calmed down. After Chen Xi finished reciting all of them, even the bystanders could judge which one was better and which was worse, and her face was full of smiles.

"Sir, I have finished memorizing it. Please teach me." Chen Xi gave the deep etiquette, and the etiquette did not fall behind the crowd at all.

Su Yunzhong frowned, looked at Chen Xi carefully, and finally asked with some confusion: "I recited it well, but how did you recite the part that Master still teaches?"

"When you come back to your words, the teacher teaches your disciples to review the old and learn the new. You must keep it in mind. After you go back, you will not only review the content you have learned, but also read the following content carefully and remember it in your heart, just to catch up with your classmates' progress earlier and not fall behind."

Chen Xi's words were not only explained to himself, but also made a compliment to Su Yunzhong's teaching in disguise, which made Su Yunzhong very satisfied: "Okay, good, children can teach. This time, this school exam is indeed Chen Xi's child is better than yichi, but Shen Yuan is also very talented and a rare seed of study. Old lady, according to Master Ben's opinion, both of them are not things in the pool."

Su Yunzhong's words made Zhou cover her face and cry. She never expected that her son would be so successful that he could not only win the exam, but also get such praise from his husband.

Li was even more surprised. She had already prepared to sacrifice Chen Xi, but in the end, Chen Xi, who was late to school, was better than Shen Yuan she was optimistic about, and I didn't know how to respond.

Shen Mingxin came over at this time and comforted him: "Mom, Mr. Su's words are pertinent. I think it's better to let Liulang and Xiaolang continue to study. At worst, we elders save more money and find ways to earn more money to study at home, and there are many thoughts, right?"

Li looked at Shen Yuan and Shen Xi who were looking at her. Their two grandsons were both heartbroken. Even the husband thought they were the seeds of study. If she still refused tactfully, it would not be a matter of favoring one or the other. Maybe both sons would have prejudices against her.

"good."

Li's final answer was finally to maintain the unity of the Shen family, "As far as the teacher said, Liulang and Xiaolang must study hard, and will ask the teacher to take the school exam every six months. If anyone is lazy, there will be no chance to study. Do you hear it clearly?"

Shen Yuan and Shen Xi answered in unison: "I remember it in mind."
