Chapter 111

Every year, the eighth day of the eighth day is the day of the entrance examination for Juxian Academy, and the official start of school is on the tenth day of the first day.

Before dawn, Shen Chengyao set off with his three sons and two daughters.Today's weather is extremely cold, it's almost freezing, this is a day when the snow melts.

When the four of them came to the gate of Juxian Academy, the surroundings were already full of carriages and people were standing everywhere.

With sharp eyes, Xiaoer saw Shen Chengguang and Shen Jingwen, father and son, and beside them stood an old man dressed as a wife.The old man was talking with Shen Jingwen
As he said something, Shen Jingwen stood upright, bowed his head and listened respectfully.

This is the first time Xiao'er sees the word "respect" from him.

"Father, uncle and eldest brother are there!" Xiao'er tugged on Shen Chengyao's sleeve, and indicated their direction with her eyes.

Shen Chengyao looked over, and found that it was really his eldest brother and nephew, as well as his father-in-law.

Several people walked over, and Shen Chengguang also saw them.After several people had seen the ceremony, Shen Chengguang asked, "Why are you here?"

A few days ago, the third eldest family went to Shangfang and said that they opened a furniture shop in the county together with Liu's natal brother, and asked the family to have dinner in the county. It was freezing cold at that time, so no one went there.Of course, they also felt that a small furniture store might close down at any time, and they were too lazy to join in the fun.

At that time, the third child also mentioned by the way that after the new year, he would send several children to school, even Fang Wenri, and was severely punished by Shen Zhuang, telling him not to send Fang Wenri there. When reading, the third child let his mother scold him, but he didn't say a word.

At that time, he was worried that the third family would let him follow the path of the old man and reduce some of the repairs.The three children study together, and Shuxiu alone costs 30 taels a year, and then the pen, ink, paper and inkstone is another expense, books and miscellaneous expenses are also an expense, and food is another expense. These things add up to at least 10 taels per person per year , and give gifts to the master of the academy every New Year's Day.There are several festivals a year, and each person sent in this way is no less than 10 taels per year, and it is 30 taels again.It takes almost 100 taels for the three children to study together for a year.

For a scholar to come out, let’s say at least ten years, the talented start enlightenment at the age of five or six, and not many can become a scholar at the age of fifteen or sixteen!He doesn't think these three people are more talented than his son, he thinks Shen Chengyao is really brainless!

"I brought a few brothers here for the exam." Shen Chengyao said with a smile, his son can also read and write, and he was so happy that the smile on his face did not disappear throughout the morning, no, last night he dreamed of smiling!
"Do you have a post? The entrance examination of Juxian Academy requires a recommendation post. Otherwise, every eighth day, people who are ignorant and ignorant will come to the exam. Wouldn't the masters of Juxian Academy be so busy? "Shen Jingwen was very upset, it was the first time he said such a long word to his cousin.

These illiterate cousins ​​came to take the exam with him, it was just to save him!
"The entrance examination of the Juxian Academy is very strict, and you can't pass it casually. You haven't been educated in the academy before, have you?" Master Lan asked with a frown.

"Third brother, hurry up and take the children back, you won't lose face for everyone!" Shen Chengguang drove them away!

The other students looked over when they heard the movement here, and some even started whispering.

The smile on Shen Chengyao's face disappeared, "I only dare to come here because I have a post. They have been studying with Zixuan for a long time, and Zixuan also said that they can definitely pass the entrance examination of the academy."

In fact, Shen Zixuan also said that each of the three brothers was more intelligent than the other, and both Fang Wenri and Shen Jingrui had a photographic memory and a comprehensive understanding.And Jing Hao simply has a photographic memory, comprehends everything, draws inferences from one instance, and even learns new things by reviewing the past!

"Just studying with a boy for a few days, he dared to come to Juxian College to take the exam. He said he could pass if he could? It's so shameless! If you don't leave now, it will be embarrassing when the time comes. Don't blame me for not reminding you!"

Some people in the crowd laughed when they heard this. Some said they were overconfident, some said that they were not afraid of tigers when they were newborns, and some said that they thought they could pass the exam just by knowing a few words, which is simply absurd...

Xiao'er wrote down the performance of these people one by one, and if the three brothers have a chance to get along in the future, they can also remind them that those people can be close friends.

At this moment, the gate of the academy opened, and two old men came out.

The noisy crowd immediately fell silent.

"The Entrance Examination for the Enlightenment Class comes to me to hand in the post and get the badge, and then go to the house on the right to take the exam." Standing on the right side of the college gate

said the old man.

Some younger children consciously lined up in front of the old man.The three brothers hurried forward to line up.

"Intermediate class, please come here to get the sign and submit the post, and then go to the room on the left to take the exam. The exam time this time is one hour, and the results will be seen two hours after the exam."

Shen Chengyao watched the three brothers go in, then took the hands of the two daughters and planned to go to the furniture store to wait for them to come out and go home together.

Although my elder brother didn't listen to me just now, but I have a place to stay in the county, so I can't help but invite my elder brother to sit down when I meet him, right?

"Mr. Lan, big brother, are you going back to the town now, or are you going back together when Wen'er comes out? If you wait for Wen'er to come out before returning, you can sit in the backyard of my shop first."

Shen Chengguang thought for a while and then nodded. Originally, he planned to rent a room in the inn to wait for his son, but he also wanted to see how the shop jointly opened by the third son and his uncle was.

A few people came to the furniture store and saw Shen Chengyao stepping in, Shen Chengguang was still not sure that this was the shop of the third family, thinking that he came in someone else's shop to have a look.

He didn't realize this fact until he saw Liu Minhong coming out to greet them!
The shop of the third shop is much bigger than he imagined, even bigger than his grocery store. The furniture sold by the third shop is much more expensive than he imagined. Pine and fir furniture, I didn’t expect them to sell mahogany, rosewood, teak and other precious wood furniture, as well as the old three’s set of leather sofas.

The whole shop looks high-end, luxurious and elegant!

This is a big deal for the third family!

A few people went to the tea room in the backyard. Shen Chengguang heard a guest asking the price. He looked back and saw the man pointing to a big leather bed and asking.

"This bed is made entirely of cowhide. Because cowhide is rare, the price is relatively high. This bed alone costs 1000 taels." Liu Minhong's voice reached Shen Chengguang's ears, and he felt that he was hallucinating!

Xiao'er and Yun'er didn't follow into the tea room. They were outsiders and couldn't go to the backyard. The two sisters went straight to the backyard to play with Liu Jingshu.

Xiao'er glanced at Shen Chengguang's expression, feeling amused in her heart, her father will definitely be bombed by someone!

The same is true.

As soon as Shen Chengyao entered the tea room, Shen Chengguang pulled Shen Chengyao and said angrily, "Third brother, you are very capable! After the family is separated, you don't care about your brother! You opened such a shop without telling the family!"

Shen Chengyao was very innocent, "Didn't I say that I opened a furniture store with my elder brother in the county? I invited you over for dinner on the opening day."

That day, he reserved two tables at Tasting Restaurant in the county, and he served guests in restaurants that day.If you don't come by yourself, turn your head and blame him for not saying anything.

Shen Chengyao felt that his elder brother had inherited his mother's inheritance, so he started to be unreasonable!
