It is unlikely that Shen Yi will turn a blind eye to the Chen family.
If he really stopped paying attention, the Fan family might believe him and stop paying attention to this ordinary villager on the outskirts of Jiangdu, but they might also become angry and attack the Chen family.
This kind of fifty-fifty probability can be gambled on other things, but it cannot be gambled on matters involving human life.
Therefore, Shen Yi prepared to take away Chen Qing's younger brother.
Firstly, it was to allow Chen Yan to realize Chen Qing's desire to take the exam, and secondly, as long as Chen Yan entered Ganquan Academy, the Chen family would be left with a root and nothing would be left behind.
As long as the roots can be preserved, the probability of the Fan family taking action against the Chen family will be greatly reduced.
Because it makes no sense.
As long as Shen Yi takes Chen Yan away from here, he will clearly tell the Fan family that as long as Chen Yan is alive and the Chen family has roots, the rest of the Chen family will not be able to threaten him.
This is not because Shen Yi favors boys over girls.
It's because other people of this era favor boys over girls. Only in this way is it consistent with the perception of this era and makes the Fan family feel it is reasonable.
Shen Yi was not sure that he would be able to persuade the Chen family.
But it doesn't matter if you can be persuaded or not.
As long as he comes once, it is enough to make me feel at ease.
Chen Heizi's face was darkened by the sun.
He looked at Shen Yi's face and said nothing for a long time.
Shen Yi looked sincere and said, "Uncle Chen, someone gave something to your family yesterday, right?"
Chen Heizi nodded.
"I sent some money and grain..."
His voice was a little hoarse: "Qing'er's case has been closed, so we can stop thinking and live a better life."
"That's from the Fan family."
Shen Yi said in a low voice: "When Chen Qing's case was closed, I told you two not to sue anymore because the murderer was too powerful and I was afraid that something would happen to your family."
"Now, Chen Qing's case has a chance to be retried, but before the retrial, nothing can happen to your family."
Having said this, Shen Yi said: "That's all Shen said."
"How to decide, I leave it to you two."
Chen Heizi opened his mouth and asked hesitantly: "I...I heard, Mr. Shen, you passed the Jinshi exam, right?"
Shen Yi was a little surprised: "How did Uncle Chen know?"
"After Qing'er leaves, I will occasionally go to the city and ask for news about you, Mr. Shen."
Having said this, he stopped talking.
Shen Yi knew that the couple still had some doubts about whether he was the murderer of Chen Qing.
That's why I asked for news about Shen Yi.
Shen Yi sighed.
"That's it, that's all I've said. If you figure it out, go to the city and find me. I'll be in Jiangdu by the end of the New Year next year."
"I agree."
Chen Heizi finally made up his mind and said, "When the third child comes back, I will let him go with Master Shen."
He lowered his head slightly: "Master Shen is now a figure in the sky. There is no need to lie to the common people who are waiting in the fields to eat."
A smile finally appeared on Shen Yi's face: "I can pay for Chen Yan's expenses at Ganquan Academy."
Chen Heizi shook his head and said: "The people will pay the money that should be paid, but...if the Chen family is really in trouble, can you please ask Mr. Shen to bring my daughter to the city..."
Shen Yi was a little embarrassed.
He sighed and said, "Uncle Chen, it's rare for you to believe me. To be honest, it's not difficult to bring a little girl home. The difficulty is that it's difficult to arrange her identity..."
Chen Heizi whispered: "Then let her be a maid next to Mr. Shen..."
"My little girl is very hard-working and can do everything from washing and cooking..."
Shen Yi thought for a while and asked: "How old is this girl this year?"
Chen Heizi sighed: "I will be fifteen years old next year."
"That's it."
Shen Yi thought for a while and said: "I have a brother at home who will be fourteen years old this year. He is studying in the academy and comes home occasionally on weekdays. I am not at home on weekdays and cannot take care of him. If I don’t mind it, so I stayed at the Shen family in Jiangdu and cooked and washed for my father and brothers.”
Speaking of this, Shen Yi said with a serious face: "First of all, let me tell you that this is definitely not a maid, and there is no saying that she is selling herself or not. I will give her salary every month, and she only needs to take care of the house in my house. She does not need to follow her. Go to the academy."
"When she is old enough, she will come back to get married."
The couple looked at each other, then bowed their heads to Shen Yi and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."
Shen Yi helped the two people up, and then said: "Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, after Chen Yan went to Ganquan Academy, it was difficult to come back easily. He can only come back to see you after the Jiangdu Fan family has completely collapsed. As for Chen Yan, Young lady…”
Shen Yi thought for a while and said, "She can come back. If she is not used to staying at my house, I will have someone send her back."
Chen Heizi nodded and said: "Everyone listens to Master Shen's orders."
Having said this, Chen Heizi knelt on the ground, took his wife and kowtowed to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi spent a lot of effort to help the couple up.
In this way, Shen Yi waited until dusk in Chenjia Village. After Chen Yan left school in the village, because it was not easy to walk, he hired a donkey cart in the village and asked Zhao Ge and others to lead his horse. , the group of people slowly and leisurely rushed back to Jiangdu.
After returning to Jiangdu, Shen Yi arranged for the siblings to live in his own home, and called his father Shen Zhang over, and took Chen Youniang to meet with Shen Zhang.
After meeting, Shen Yi solemnly pulled Shen Zhang aside and said, "Dad, this is Chen Qing's sister. You should have seen her before."
"She will stay in our house for a while and help with some work. You should treat her as your goddaughter and don't wrong her."
Shen Zhang had met the Chen family's daughter in court, but only once. His memory had been blurry for more than two years. When Shen Yi said this, he immediately remembered it.
Hearing this, he nodded quickly: "Yi'er, don't worry, my father will not treat the little girl badly."
"Um…"
Shen Yi nodded: "I won't be in Jiangdu next year. I have a little girl at home who can take care of you and my little brother."
After settling down Chen Youniang, Shen Yi led the siblings to stay in a room, then returned to his study and wrote a letter to Jiankang.
After writing the letter, Shen Yi stayed up late to read some information sent by the Di newspaper department, and did not go to bed until late at night.
Early the next morning, after he finished eating, he took Chen Yan with him, got on the Shen family's carriage, and went straight to Ganquan Academy.
After arriving at Ganquan Academy, Shen Yi first found Mr. Qin and "stored" Chen Yan with Mr. Qin. Then he went to Mr. Lu's study without stopping, met Mr. Lu in the study, and explained the cause and effect to him.
After briefly talking about it, Shen Yi said: "Teacher, you should know what the Fan family does. They can do anything. Chen Qing has died in vain, so I want the academy to adopt Chen Yan for some time. "
"If you nod in agreement, the student wants the academy to take him in for three years. If you don't agree, let him stay here temporarily for a while, and then let him go home after the student has finished dealing with the Fan family..."
Master Lu frowned slightly at first, then relaxed his brows and said, "Since Ziheng has spoken, let him learn from Mr. Qin for some time."
"As for whether to keep him, it depends on whether he has the talent."
Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
He was also deeply afraid that Mrs. Lu, who was somewhat rigid, would not be willing to take Chen Yan in.
He stood up and bowed deeply to Master Lu: "Student, I will present the banquet on my behalf. Thank you very much, Master."
"You are Welcome."
Master Lu asked Shen Yi to sit down and asked, "The situation in Jiangdu has become somewhat tense. Can you think of any way to break the situation?"
"Teacher, don't worry."
Shen Yi said silently: "God is watching what people do. No matter what means the Fan family has, they are just struggling in the quagmire... they won't survive for long."
"Students, we have already thought of how to pin them to death in the quagmire."
