There is room for the evil peasant woman

Chapter 36 Water
  "Mother, are we going to Yunjian Academy later?" Chen Yuan gently pulled down the sleeve of the person walking in front.

Shen Yan felt it and turned around to lead Chen Yuan forward, "Yes, mother will help you go to Yunjian Academy to inquire about it first."

Then he saw Shen Ran lagging behind alone, his steps slowed down slightly, and when others caught up, he held his hand.

Seeing this, Shen Ran blinked slightly, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved in a way that even he didn't notice.

-

As soon as I arrived, I saw many people holding their children waiting outside the school gate. Some of the children looked about the same age as Chen Yuan and Shen Ran, while some looked to be eleven or twelve years old, or even fifteen. People around the age of 10.

However, there is no doubt that all of these children are men. When those people saw Shen Yan, a woman, and brought two children, they were a little surprised by the appearance of these three people.

Because after Shen Yan lost weight, she had a pair of cool willow eyebrows, and her temperament unintentionally revealed stood out among the crowd, and her overall appearance was average.

Of course, there is no need to say more about the two children. Chen Yuan looks like a well-behaved baby, while Shen Ran looks like a cold young master. The appearance of the family is particularly eye-catching among the waiting people.

"Boom-"

A bell rang from inside the school, and soon after, the door of the school was opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance walked out, wearing a navy blue brocade robe, with part of his hair tied up with a crown, and part left behind. .

"Everyone, let me tell you in advance that this school will not accept any bribes! No chicken, duck, fish or any other weird things! Not even money!" When he said this, the man was obviously a little excited.

"I also know why you are here today. To be honest, this happens every year, especially when the school is about to start recruiting new students. We often encounter today's scene outside, blocking the door. Anyway, we want to enter our school. There are two conditions that need to be met. One is to have enough training, which is three taels of silver a year. The other is to pass my assessment, which mainly tests knowledge and conduct. If you pass one of them, you can pass. Of course, the specifics are Take a look when you get it, and don’t think about asking previous students, our tests are different every year.”

After saying that, a man who looked like a student came out and posted a notice at the door of the school. After posting it, he followed the man in and closed the door.

The operation was extremely fast. When the people present were still worried about whether their children could enter the school, they looked up and saw that the door had been closed. They were dumbfounded. How could it be so fast?

"I didn't even see the Master's face clearly!" someone in the crowd muttered.

Shen Yan walked over and took a look at what was written on the notice. He saw that the content above was basically what the man said just now, but the emphasis was on not sending things to the school. It was emphasized and bolded, like I'm afraid that others won't see it.

After Shen Yan understood the situation, he took his two children to the bookstore and bought one or two copybooks and the Four Treasures of the Study. Shen Yan chose the four treasures of moderate price but good quality. When he paid, he heard the words I was a little surprised when I got two taels of silver. Sure enough, in ancient times, people couldn't afford to go to school. Just these and the tuition fees were almost ten taels of silver, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

I went to other places to buy some things and then went back in my own carriage.

In the distance, Shen Yan heard the noise coming from the other side of Dongshan.

Now the trench digging project has started, and the village seems to have become lively because of this incident. From time to time, people run towards Dongshan, carrying water or food, but many people subconsciously look in the direction of Shen Yan's house when they return. At last glance, there were complicated emotions hidden in each of their eyes.

-

Two days later, the ditch was filled with water. Everyone in the village looked at the white water that gurgled from the mountain and was connected to the well in the village. Seeing that the water level was much higher than before, everyone in the village had a smile on their face.

They also organized a dance around the bonfire to express their joy at solving the water problem.

As the major contributor to this matter, Shen Yan was naturally called over by Li Zheng.

"We have to thank Shen Yan for what happened this time. She discovered this water. If it weren't for Shen Yan, we would have..." The following words are mixed with the feelings about this incident and a little bit of sympathy. Shen Yan's thanks, "In short, Shen Yan did a very good job this time. We all should be grateful to Shen Yan! Everyone should also see the changes in Shen Yan during this period. As for the child Chen Yuan, now She looks like two different people from before, and she looks a lot more cheerful... From now on, everyone should try to reduce their prejudice against Mrs. Shen, because people have to give people a chance to change their ways!"

Li Zheng was talking from above, and some of the people below responded, while others sneered disdainfully.

Shen Yan saw all this, but Shen Yan didn't care. As long as he knew who he was in his heart, there was no need to put himself in those people's words.

Because Shen Yan knew that he might not always stay here in the future.

After Li Zheng finally finished speaking, the lively atmosphere returned to the place. Seeing this, Shen Yan happened to not like this either, and was about to go home directly when someone suddenly pulled the hem of his clothes.

Shen Yan looked back and saw that she was a ten-year-old girl, but her face was stained with mud and her hair was messy.

The little girl was timid, with her little hands behind her back, not daring to raise her head to look at Shen Yan.

Seeing this, Shen Yan knelt down and asked softly: "What's wrong? What's the matter?"

The little girl didn't seem to expect that Shen Yan would squat down. She was slightly startled. She raised her eyes and accidentally caught a glimpse of the tenderness in Shen Yan's eyes. For some reason, she suddenly relaxed and took her hands from behind her back tremblingly. What came out was a bunch of yellow wild flowers. Shen Yan remembered that this thing was called daylily.

"This is for you. Thank you for your help this time. Otherwise, my grandma is the only one in the house, and I am not as strong as others. If there is really a shortage of water... our family will definitely suffer. This is why I went to the mountain today. I have been looking for flowers specially picked for a long time, but I only found these few bunches, um..." As he spoke, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Seeing this, a smile appeared in Shen Yan's eyes. He gently wiped the mud from the little girl's face with his sleeves, touched her head, and took the flowers, "Thank you for the flowers, I like them very much!"

The little girl looked a little stunned, as if she didn't expect to get such a warm response. Why is this person so different from what others say?

When he reacted, a big smile immediately appeared on his face, "Really, really?" As he said that, he seemed to have thought of something, and said to Shen Yan: "Well, I think you are very good, you are not at all like the people in the village. Like that, you, don’t listen to those people’s nonsense!” After that, he ran away.

Although Shen Yan felt a little confused, this child was really cute. He glanced at the small yellow wild flower in his hand, put it under his nose and sniffed it, um... it smelled very good!
  The light fragrance also dispelled today's unhappiness, and Shen Yan returned home in a good mood.
