Shen Mingwen was locked in the attic and studied in a closed door. During this period, he only had two annual exams. He would not have contacted the outside world for the rest of the time. Zhou's abacus was lost, and Chen Xi began to feel anxious.

Witnessing Shen Mingwen's experience, Chen Xi deeply realized the importance of knowledge in this world, or the importance of reading. Although his knowledge may not be able to be the top scorer in the era of eight-legged essays, it can be regarded as a master of learning from ancient times and present. If you work hard to get a scholar, you can still do it!

But, so what can this be done? Without open-minded reading and without teachers' teachings, even if the knowledge is comparable to that of contemporary scholars, it is still a cause of demons and no one recognizes it.

He left the attic in dismay, and before he took a few steps, he felt that someone had patted his shoulder. Chen Xi turned around and looked at him. Seeing a little fat man appearing behind him, he couldn't help but feel a little impatient and said, "Why are you here?"

"Little cousin, you can come, I can come too, right?" The little fat man was six or seven years old, leaning his chubby little head and blinking his eyes and looking a little guilty.

Chen Xi couldn't stand such a mentally retarded conversation, so he shook his head, turned around and continued to walk, ignoring the fat man.

The little fat man is named Yang Wenzhao, and he is the son of Yang Shen, the second aunt of Chenxi.

Yang Shen's real name is Chen Yueping, and he married the eldest son of the Yang family, a big drug dealer in Fucheng. This time he said it was a visit to relatives, but in fact it was a quarrel between the couple. Chen Yueping was stubborn and brought her son back to her hometown in anger.

This kid is a stingy person by nature, but he is very timid and is very good at ADHD child.

After arriving at the Shen family, Chen Xi was about his age. Secondly, this fat man was very curious about Chen Xi, who acted uniquely, so he got along with Chen Xi, the little cousin.

After a lot of effort, he wanted to get rid of Yang Wenzhao, but he could not get rid of this follower. Chen Xi could only smile bitterly and let him follow him.

"Shuangxi Town, Taohua Mountain, Houtaohua Village, Shuangxi Town."

"The scenery of April is only unfolding today, and I will watch the moon round next year."

This poem was a work of Shen Mingwen after becoming a scholar. He must have been full of confidence in the autumn examination the following year, but unfortunately he returned home in disgrace. Chen Xi was not interested in this oil poem without connotation and depth. Instead, he had a personal experience of the April scenery mentioned in the poem.

Although the April scenery of Taohua Village is not as good as the season when peach blossoms bloom, and even the originally charming peach blossoms begin to wither, the mountains and rivers on Taohua Mountain are so beautiful that April weather is the most pleasant and refreshing, especially the clear breeze unique to the mountains gently pats the face, making it indescribable to enjoy it.

While walking, I heard the follower behind me asking with great anticipation: "Little cousin, where are we going? Are we catching crickets?"

Chen Xi didn't have time to pay attention to him. His mental age was different, and the two had no common topics at all.

Yang Wenzhao refused to give in and said enthusiastically: "Little cousin, why are you angry? Have you been bullied?"

Chen Xi shook his head and sat down next to the stream outside the village. He held his chin and stared at the gurgling stream, with a gloomy face.

Yang Wenzhao also sat on a stone like him, staring at the stream in a daze.

After a moment, Yang Wenzhao couldn't sit still and asked curiously: "Little cousin, do you want to catch the little fish in the stream? I'll help you."

Chen Xi ignored him, Yang Wenzhao didn't care at all, and he rolled up his trousers and had to go into the water to catch up.

Chen Xi quickly pulled him and said, "Okay, you can calm down for a while."

Yang Wenzhao looked back at Chen Xi in a strange way, sat down again in a depressed mood, and asked, "Little cousin, do you want to study?"

Chen Xi was stunned when she heard this, then looked at Yang Wenzhao, sighed, and nodded with annoyance: "Well, I originally planned to ask my uncle to teach me how to read and read, but it's a pity."

Suddenly I felt that this was a little unfounded. Although he and Yang Wenzhao were of the same age, with his mind, he was afraid of talking to a little kid who was six or seven years old?

Yang Wenzhao smiled slightly and said, "Little Cousin, I heard from my eldest aunt and second aunt that you have abnormal behavior recently and are not as playful as before. I also said that you also want to enter school when you see my eldest cousin studying."

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Yang Wenzhao, and asked seriously, "What else have they said?"

Yang Wenzhao truthfully explained: "Uh, I don't know either, but my eldest and second aunts don't seem to like you."

Chen Xi held his little face again, full of confusion: "Why would the eldest aunt and second aunt not like me? I have never done anything to offend them."

When Yang Wenzhao saw Chen Xi thinking hard, he lowered his voice a lot, looked around and whispered to Chen Xi: "Little cousin, my mother said they were afraid that you would go to a private school too, and the family was too burdened, so they said bad things about you behind your back."

Chen Xixin said that Yang Wen was so attractive that he could even make some things happen, so he asked, "What did your mother tell you?"

Yang Wenzhao grinned and shook his head and explained: "No, it was my mother and grandmother who said it, I'm by my side."

Chen Xi looked at Yang Wenzhao's nervous look and immediately stepped forward and pinched his chubby little face, and asked, "Then repeat the words."

"I heard something, but my mother told me not to gossip."

"You tell me, I will definitely not talk to others." Chen Xi bewitched in a nearly coaxing tone.

When Yang Wenzhao heard this, he nodded silly: "My grandmother said that there are too few scholars at home. In our generation, only my cousin is studying. What does the Shen family have passed down from generation to generation? I want to choose one of you from the private schools in the county."

"Ah, is there such a thing? Did my grandmother say that she would let her go?" Chen Xi's tone was full of anticipation.

Yang Wenzhao lowered his voice again and leaned against Chen Xi's ear: "Grandmother wants Shen Yuan, the sixth cousin of the fourth uncle's family, to go. Little cousin, you have no hope, but what's the best for studying?"

Before Yang Wenzhao could finish his words, Chen Xi had already stood up, patted the egg on his butt, and said, "I'm back."

"oh."

Yang Wenzhao stood up and followed Shen Xi closely, making him a follower.

When Chen Xi saw Yang Wenzhao following him, he shook his head helplessly: "Okay, go back to your room, I'm going back too, otherwise my mother will have to whip me again."

When Yang Wenzhao saw Chen Xi lifting Zhou out, his body trembled and ran away happily.

Chen Xi sighed happily, then frowned and lowered his head to ponder.

Grandma wanted to select one of her children from her generation to send them to a private school. This news made Chen Xi, who was originally depressed, cheer up again, and secretly considered her chances of enrolling in school.

My grandmother didn't have a deep impression of Chen Xi. Besides, the Shen family was once a prominent family, but now it is in trouble, but the population is still prosperous.

Chen Xi knew that the Shen family is very tight now, and the old lady had not bought meat for only two months. At this time, the old lady had to use the saved money to train a scholar. Although she didn't know how long it could last, at least the child was a pen when he grew up, which was better than not knowing big words.

People in this world have deep-rooted ideas and are inferior to everything. Only by studying well can you let your children study and make their mark and become officials in the future.

However, there is something unquestionable, that is, Chen Xi’s heart is hot at this time. He is seven years old next year. In another three years, it will be difficult to study. After all, in people’s concepts, it needs to be cultivated from an early age.

"I must let the old lady choose me." Chen Xi thought silently in his heart.

Chen Xi thought for a long time and felt that he still had a chance. It was impossible for him to have any insider information or choose an insider, otherwise the other four rooms would not be willing to pay.

Since it is fair competition, Chen Xi feels that he has a huge advantage.

After patting the dust on his clothes, Chen Xi stepped aside and walked towards the main room where the old lady lived.

Just for a while, Chen Xi had an idea in his mind and had to take the initiative to find the old lady. No matter what means he used, he would like to please her. It would be better to show a little cleverness to surprise the old lady with her intelligence and not doubt anything else.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the main room, I saw my fourth aunt Feng and her son Liulang coming out. Liulang was yi years old and had a beautiful face, bright eyes, and intelligent and charming.

Liulang is Shen Yuan, who was willing to cultivate and study for his grandmother Li, and is also Chen Xi’s biggest opponent. He suppressed many distractions in his heart, walked forward, and bowed to him as if he was decent: "My nephew has met the fourth aunt."

The fourth aunt Feng is a woman of 25 or 26 years old. She has a kind figure and a strong and strong family. She has worked for generations and is diligent. She always feels that she is a bit arrogant when she married into the Shen family, which is passed down from the bookish world, so she is very kind to people.

At this time, she saw Chen Xi bowing as if it were true, and was stunned for a while before smiling and said, "Xiao Lang, why are you here to do it? Are you looking for grandmother?"

Looking at the slightly cramped aunt, Chen Xi felt something was wrong. He said very well, "Yes, I'm always on the verge of eating. I haven't come to see my grandmother alone for a long time. Today I'm here to take a look."

Feng nodded with a smile: "What a good boy. I heard your mother say that you are always naughty, and I won't remember to be naughty in the future."

Chen Xi innocently defended: "Fourth aunt, I am not naughty, I always listen to my father and mother." When a six-year-old child is about to say six years old, Chen Xi tried hard to pretend to be innocent.

Feng really had no doubts, and nodded with a smile and said, "That's good, grandma is inside."

Chen Xi smiled and agreed: "Aunt Fourth, I'll play with my brother next time."
