"Let's eat!" Song Heng smoothed things over, and everyone concentrated on eating without saying anything else.
After the meal, the servants removed the dishes, wiped the table, and served refreshments.
"You kid, why didn't you write a letter in advance before you came so that we could send someone to pick you up? If I hadn't happened to meet your brother-in-law, you might not have been able to find your way!" Mrs. Liu heard Song Heng say yes. After meeting Shen Ming at the city gate, he looked at Shen Ming and said this.
Shen Ming smiled and said, "Father wrote the letter in advance. I don't know if something went wrong along the way, so the letter was not delivered to the house."
Lin Qingxue felt a little guilty. When she heard Shen Ming say this, she lowered her eyelids and drank tea from the cup.
"That's so." Ms. Liu asked again, "How long do you plan to stay in the imperial city? If you don't want to go back, you can ask your brother-in-law to find a job for you in the army."
This boy from the Shen family suddenly came to the imperial city, probably because he wanted to join the Song family. After all, there was no way out in the countryside. The most he could do was to take over his father's job and become a private school teacher.
Shen Ming smiled and said nothing.
"Mother" Song Heng said helplessly: "Ming'er came to the Imperial City to participate in the examination after next spring."
What is his mother thinking?
Participate in the examination? Although Mrs. Liu is illiterate, she still knows about the imperial examination. Those who can participate in the examination are all civil servants. Although she also knows that this boy from the Shen family is a scholar, she does not know that he is a scholar at a young age. It's time to lift people up.
Hearing this, Song Ziyu couldn't help but take a second look at her uncle. Unexpectedly, her uncle was also a scholar like Zhou Lang. However, judging from her uncle's behavior, it was probably difficult to become a Jinshi. They were both judges, and there was such a gap. Why is it so big?
Song Ziling clapped his hands and said: "Uncle, you are so amazing. He is an imperial examination at such a young age. There is a forty-year-old scholar in our academy who has been taking the examination for more than 20 years and has not been able to pass the examination!"
Shen Ming smiled at his nephew and said nothing.
"That's right, that's right." Mrs. Liu said with a blushing face, "You are a promising person."
She also wants Heng'er to find him a job in the army! This is really embarrassing.
After talking for a while, Song Heng said that Shen Mingzhou was tired from the long journey, so he asked everyone to leave first and let Shen Ming rest early.
Mrs. Liu and Song Ziyu both returned to their own courtyards, and Ling'er and Song Ziling also returned to Qiushi courtyard first. Song Heng, Lin Qingxue, Shen Wan, Qiu Ju and Shen Ming went to the house where Shen Ming wanted to live. courtyard.
Song Hengrang ordered this courtyard to be prepared. Lin Qingxue naturally did not dare to fail to do her best and chose a quiet and spacious courtyard. Because it was quiet, this courtyard was only ten meters away from Qiushi courtyard.
The yard is kept neat and clean, everything in the room is new, and the decorations are all made of fine blue and white porcelain.
"Master Shen, are you satisfied with it?" Lin Qingxue looked at Shen Ming and asked.
Shen Ming nodded and said: "It's good, Mrs. Lao took the trouble."
Lin Qingxue looked relieved and said with a smile: "As long as you are satisfied, if there is anything else you want to add, just tell me."
Shen Ming didn't say anything, he just bowed his hand to Lin Qingxue in thanks.
"It's getting late, please tidy up and have a rest early!" Song Heng looked at Shen Ming and said.
"Yes." Shen Ming nodded and bowed his hand to Song Heng.
"Let's leave first." After Song Heng said that, he turned around to leave. Seeing that Shen Wan hadn't moved, he asked, "Won't Wan'er leave?"
Shen Wan didn't even look at him and said, "You go first! Ming'er and I still have something to say."
Song Heng thought that they had not seen each other for many years, so naturally they had endless things to say, so he said: "Don't say it too late, let Ming'er rest early."
