Chapter 19 Eccentricity
"What do you two think?" Shen Nanzhou thought for a while, then turned to ask his two sons.

"There is a saying in the poem: my mother is one hundred years old, and she worries about her eighty-year-old son. You can tell the truth from the fake by watching her words and deeds." Shen Muci thought for a moment before saying.

"I can see that the two families are very kind to the child, it's difficult." County Magistrate Sun shook his head.

"As the saying goes, it hurts my mother's heart to beat her. Maybe she can cheat the truth." Seeing his father looking at her, Shen Muyin hesitated and gave the answer.

"No, no, not to mention that both families protect the calf. If the child is accidentally injured, it will not be a bad thing." County magistrate Sun still shook his head. After Huang Xingye's case, he felt that the trial should not be too rigid, but when it comes to protecting the calf The last two are really on par.

Shen Qingrou, who came to inform them that the food was almost ready, saw that they were discussing heatedly, hesitated for a moment, and hurried back to tell her mother.

"I can't tell good from bad when I'm alive, but it's okay when I'm dead." Li Erya sneered.

Mrs. Shen glanced at her, arranged her clothes, and Shi Shiran went in to express her opinion.

She has a deep understanding of this, after experiencing life and death on the road, if her children are gone, she will carry them to a place where she can stop.

After hearing Mrs. Shen's words, County Magistrate Sun woke up like a dream, praised her fiercely, and hurried back to the yamen without thinking about food.

In the Shen family, Shen Muci looked at his mother with tears in his eyes, and the only one who could put him at ease was his mother, and felt more and more guilty that he made his mother worry so much because of his illness.

"Don't look at me like that, actually I didn't come up with it, she said it." Mrs. Shen couldn't bear the pressure from Shen Nanzhou, and said embarrassingly.

After being married for many years, she knew that she couldn't hide from the person next to her pillow for a long time, so she had better confess earlier than humiliating herself, Madam Shen told Li Erya's words exactly.

Shen Muyin frowned, and finally persuaded himself not to doubt her intentions, but now he couldn't help guessing her intentions to save them from the siege.

Shen Nanzhou was also quite surprised that she would think this way, or be so transparent, he actually felt that a nine-year-old child lived a transparent life.

Only Shen Muci took her mother's feelings into consideration and comforted her, after all, it's hard to wait for the elegant court with Li Erya's straightforward words.

"See the truth in the subtleties, and hit the nail on the head to hit people's hearts." Shen Nanzhou lightly reprimanded him, telling him not to underestimate others, even if they are inferior to him in status and knowledge.

"Father taught you the right thing." Shen Muci lowered his head in shame.

Although Shen Qingrou was not convinced, she did not dare to contradict her father, so she could only stare at Li Erya indignantly. The matter was settled by her mother, and she took all the credit for her careless words. Dad is biased.

Li Erya, who wandered outside for a while, took a deep breath, and decided to hang around for a while, now is not a good time to go in and disturb their family.

She is on this side, and the little dolls on the other side of the school are also poking their heads.

"My aunt is so pitiful." Li Baoshan said in a big way, luckily his sister didn't marry.

"Why?" Luo Gui'an asked puzzled. In his opinion, having something to eat, something to live and something to wear is already a very happy thing.

His younger sister could only wear his old clothes and couldn't get enough to eat, and she had to live in a room with her sister, unlike Li Erya, who lived in a room by herself.

But his mother said that after selling the herbs for money, she can buy them new clothes. Luo Guian looked at the road outside eagerly. He didn't care to see the county magistrate. come quickly.

Li Baoshan was about to answer his question, but when he saw Shen Nanzhou walking towards them, he quickly pretended to be studying seriously.

For a while, there was a lot of reading in the school, and Li Erya covered her mouth and snickered.

Soon she couldn't laugh anymore, because Shen Nanzhou asked her to study with those little dolls.

Listen to me and say thank you, simple reading is no problem, I really don't want to sit in the school and start over, and she can't take the imperial examination, it's too wasteful for her to pick herbs and mushrooms.

Thinking of the piece of mushroom that was about to be harvested, Li Erya hesitated and refused.

"Women don't have to take the imperial examination, but they are always right to read and write. Are you sure you don't want to learn?"

She really didn't want to learn, but considering that there must be a reasonable excuse after all, she could only nod heartbroken.

Shen Nanzhou announced the matter at the dinner table.

Shen Qingrou was the first to stand up and object, after all, she never went to school seriously.

"You guys are not the same, if you want to be like her, that's fine."

"I do not want."

Shen Nanzhou stopped talking.

Li Erya didn't want to talk even more.

Her worry was right, her mushrooms had already been picked, and there was not one left, so Li Erya hurried back to Shen's house dejectedly after losing the delicious mushrooms.

"Second, second girl."

"father."

"Are you looking for this?"

"No."

Li Erya denied it, and suddenly her heart didn't hurt so much.

"Give you."

Li Youtian distributed ten mushrooms to her, and explained in a nonchalant manner that he planned to exchange the rest for some rice.

"There is food at home, you take it." Li Erya looked at the mushroom in her hand, and wanted to return it to him, but seeing that he would not take it, she had to put the mushroom on the ground and ran away.

Li Youtian was dumbfounded, she used to love to eat mushrooms the most, but thinking that it might be because the Shen family really didn't lack this kind of food, he felt much more at ease, and felt annoyed at the thought of not asking about the medicinal materials.

But Li Erya returned empty-handed, and was ridiculed by Shen Qingrou.

"I can't take all the good things by myself." Li Erya replied calmly after she finished speaking.

Behind her, Shen Muyin listened to her words thoughtfully.

He said the same thing as in the previous life. Although she was not as submissive as the previous life, her perfunctory attitude was even more irritating.

Although Mrs. Shen was annoyed by her, she couldn't find fault with her, so she could only call her daughter away with a straight face, so as to save her from suffering again.

The proudest thing in her life was that she was married to Shen Nanzhou and had three children that everyone envied. The appearance of Li Erya broke her pride.

Shen Nanzhou actually thought that a country girl like her was a good talent, it was like slapping her in the face, her daughter was no worse than Li Erya.

"Did you really go to pick mushrooms?" Shen Muyin asked his doubts only after his mother and sister had left. Every time he went out, he would bring something back, but this time he didn't bring even a blade of grass, which was somewhat suspicious.

"Otherwise, it's a pity that it's a step too late, and it's rare to go out, and I didn't find anything." Li Erya sighed, there were only so many herbs.

The honeysuckle she secretly planted has not yet grown, and there are kapok trees. When they grow well, she can pick flowers in front of her house in the future.

"Are you complaining to me?" Shen Muyin asked suddenly.
