She was being carried by her father and almost hit his eyes. Tang Youxiang grabbed her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Fat Tuanzi said: "Mi Bao seems to have seen that bad woman."
Bad bitch?
Tang Youxiang and Mrs. Fan both looked over and saw only the back of an old woman staggering away.
"You misunderstood!" Tang Youxiang laughed loudly: "Your breasts... No, old lady Shi can't be so thin!"
Madam Fan was a little confused and looked at her a few more times, but she didn't care and said, "Just watch her, she has nothing to do with us anymore."
Mi Bao nodded and immediately put it behind him.
When I turned back, I saw a middle-aged man in official robes coming over with a smile on his face.
Since the county magistrate came to invite him in person, Shen Linquan gave him the honor and brought the Fan brothers and Tang Youxiang over.
After all, whether they do business in the future, or whether Tang Mingqi and the others take the imperial examination, it is not a bad thing to get to know the county magistrate.
Mibao and the others went back to the car shop first.
Mrs. Fan and Mrs. Wan both went to the front to help sell grain, and several children were also helping nearby. Mi Bao was unprepared and quietly put down some more grain.
The gossip had just happened at this moment, it was fresh and hot, and people who did not buy food came to talk to them. Mrs. Fan was also very happy, chatting with everyone with smiles on her face.
The feed grain they eat at noon is used as bean noodles and steamed with some green vegetables. It is very fragrant and has a salty taste.
It wasn't until Shenchu (15:00) that Shen Linquan and the others came back. They had all drunk, but they were not drunk. They each had a few cups of strong tea.
Lady Fan took a look at her younger brother's face: "Now the injustice has been settled, right? Why aren't you happy?"
"I'm not unhappy at all," Fan Weijin said with a smile, "It just feels like...it's a bit ridiculous that something you worked so hard to get is destroyed by others with just a raise of a hand, and then returned to you with a raise of a hand."
Mrs. Fan clicked her tongue: "Isn't this nonsense? I am an official! We are the people! So you have to work hard. You work hard to make progress, take the imperial examination and become an official. The bigger the official, your son will not be like you. If you are bullied by officials like this, if you don't work hard, you will be a citizen for the rest of your life, and your son and grandson will still be bullied by officials like this!"
Fan Weijin was also happy: "That's what my sister said."
After hearing this, Mi Bao came over and said, "No, mother, that's not what I was persuading! You're persuading me wrong!"
Lady Fan smiled and said, "Then how can I persuade you?"
Fatty Tuanzi turned his head, imitating Shen Zhen's behavior that day, with a small face, and said his wife's quotation: "Reading is for understanding. The reason why you didn't become a bad guy like Wu Chi is because you have a bottom line in your heart. You read it." Books, you understand! So do nothing but read, because books will never let anyone down."
Mrs. Fan was amused: "Oh! You memorized it quite right!"
Mrs. Fan nodded and said to Fan Weiquan: "Let Weijin go to school! If you are too busy, even if you hire more people, Weijin doesn't have to be here?"
"Don't worry, I know everything." Fan Weiquan waved his hand: "In the whole family, there is no one who loves to study. Whether it's delicious or meaty and fishy, I don't think it's the right one, so it's just a taste. It’s so interesting, and I finally got my fame back, so I definitely have to study.”
Madam Fan touched her brother's head like a child, and coaxed him gently: "We won't go to that academy. That academy is not good. Let's find another one."
Shen Linquan smiled and said: "If you don't mind it, go live in the village and just ask my uncle about the things in the book."
Fan Weijin stood up with a smile, cupped his hands to him, and replied: "No, it doesn't matter even if I go to the previous academy. I was not the one who did the bad things from beginning to end. There is nothing I dare not go to, and I am not afraid to see it." I’m not afraid of dealing with people, I don’t care about this..."
Mi Bao was below, holding his hand, but unfortunately she was too short and her presence was too weak. In the end, she had to shout: "Second uncle! Uncle, uncle!"
"Hey! Hey!" Fan Weijin quickly agreed: "Ancestor, what's going on?"
Mi Bao raised his little face and said: "Second uncle, you can come and stay at my house. Uncle Shen is Mi Bao's good friend and he is very knowledgeable! If you learn from Uncle Shen, even if you make a mistake, Uncle Shen will slap you in the palm of his hand. Mibao can also secretly intercede with you and ask you to be beaten more gently."
Fan Weijin was delighted: "I haven't even learned yet, and you're already thinking about hitting the palms of your hands? Can you think of me?"
Shen Linquan also came over and smiled: "I am telling you this in private, but please don't tell anyone... Actually, my uncle originally wanted to recruit a few apprentices. Recently, several children have come to ask my uncle for advice. But these children are not very talented in terms of talent, but they are very good storytellers. My father said they are very clever, so why don't you give it a try. In this kind of thing, the disciple picks the master, and the master picks the disciple. It won’t be decided once you go.”
Ordinary professors are completely different from apprentices. Apprentices are formal relatives, so this is a great favor.
Fan Weijin pondered for a moment, but before he spoke, Mi Bao thought of something and turned around and asked, "What about Mi Bao's brother?"
Shen Linquan smiled and said: "No one knows what your brother's talent is. Your wife only talks about it but doesn't take the test. They haven't even talked to my uncle. Why don't you wait until you finish talking about three hundred thousand and go see my uncle?"
Mi Bao nodded quickly: "Yes, Mi Bao's eldest brother and second brother, at first glance, they are great talents who will conquer the country."
Shen Linquan smiled and said: "It looks similar to me."
Fan Weijin corrected her: "Empowering a country and a city does not describe a talented person. It means someone who is extremely talented, talented, and full of knowledge."
"No," Fat Tuanzi gave him a look of disgust: "Mi Bao knows, Mi Bao doesn't mean this. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Lin Quan, he will know what Mi Bao means. If Sister Zhen is here, he will know too. ."
Fan Weiquan complained to Tang Youxiang from the side: "Lin Quan calls you brother, and Mi Bao calls him brother. How do you talk about the generations?"
Shen Linquan smiled and waved to him, indicating that he didn't care.
In fact, he doesn't know what Mibao means, but he must not be timid at this time!
So he thought quickly: "Mi Bao means... These are actually two words. Mi Bao means that they are the most beautiful among the talented people, the ones who have conquered the country, and the most talented among the beautiful young people. What a genius!"
Mi Bao nodded fiercely: "Yes! That's it! Look, second uncle, if you are not with us, you won't understand what we are saying!"
Fan Weijin: "..."
He had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, uncle knows, I'll go back when I'm done!"
Tang Youxiang urged again: "Okay, it's really late. It'll be dark when we get home."
Mrs. Fan then picked up her daughter and walked out, adding as she walked: "Buy some steamed buns on the way and make soup when you get home."
As they spoke, they each got into the car. Fan Weijin kept watching the carriage go before turning back.
Fan Weiquan asked him: "Why don't you want to go? Isn't going to Shen's house better than going to the academy?"
Fan Weijin shook his head and whispered: "Brother, I feel that the appearance of the Shen family is too strange. In this world, how can there be no good for no reason? If they are not relatives or friends, they are good to us, and they must be doing something for us.
What the hell. But we have nothing to gain, so I feel that they are here just for Mibao. The more we owe them, the less we can afford to pay them back in the future. So, I would rather go through hardships than owe them anything.
Love."
Fan Weiquan nodded: "I knew you must think so...but you are wrong to think so!"
