The Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Man

Chapter 40: Daqian Dynasty, the only son of a peasant family

Xie Cheng is a passionate person, with a proud but passionate personality. He also puts in a lot of effort in pursuing the girl he likes, and Mr. Xie also knows his son's thoughts.

So he didn't control him much during this period. After knowing that his son was just unrequited love, Mr. Xie also felt that his son seemed a little disappointing.

Mrs. Xie was a little confused when she found out that her only son, whom she had carefully raised, actually fell in love with a farm girl. What made her even more confused was that her husband actually agreed to this matter.

Before Mrs. Xie could do anything to break up the couple, Mr. Xie took his wife to the room and had a good talk with her. In the end, Mrs. Xie was convinced.

Who said that the Qian family had such a talented person? Even a woman like her could see the potential in the Qian family's child. If that was the case, it was not impossible.

Moreover, the son obviously liked the farm girl very much. As a mother, she had spoiled the son since he was a child, and if the son made a fuss, she would agree sooner or later.

Qian Tongyu didn't care about what happened between Sixth Sister and Xie Cheng. Xie Cheng had a good personality and character, so it was okay for him to get close to Sixth Sister.

As long as this person doesn't do anything tough, it will be fine. If Sixth Sister really doesn't like Xie Cheng, Qian Tongyu will help stop it.

Xie Cheng spent quite a long time and finally won the beauty's heart. After getting her consent, the Xie family also proposed marriage to the Qian family.

The Qian family did not expect that the young master of Mr. Xie's family would fall in love with their sixth daughter, which made them feel a little flattered. However, they thought that their grandson was already the youngest scholar in the Daqian Dynasty.

Thinking in this way, they no longer felt inferior. With such a golden grandson, their family would sooner or later become as rich as Mr. Xie's family.

Seeing that the two young people seemed to be interested in each other, they decided to arrange the marriage first, and waited two years before letting the two children get married officially.

Qian Xiaozhu's marriage was settled. As for Qian Xiaoju, the youngest girl in the family, who was one year younger than Qian Xiaozhu, they also planned to wait and see.

After studying with Master Shi, Qian Tongyu often went back and forth between his home and Master Shi's home. There was a large library in Master Shi's home, and Qian Tongyu could often spend a whole day reading there.

Looking at the elderly Master Shi, Qian Tongyu would also pull him to practice Tai Chi in the yard to exercise his body. One cannot relax in physical health while studying.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and the sixth sister Qian Xiaozhu and Xie Cheng were married. Qian Xiaoju also married a scholar with a gentle personality.

Although the seventh sister Qian Xiaoju has a somewhat silly and cute personality, she is actually a white-cut black. She looks soft and easy to bully, but she is actually a tough stubble.

The seven sisters all found homes, and the family was prosperous. Qian Tongyu was thirteen years old now.

Qian Tongyu's learning speed was also very fast due to his photographic memory. Shi Qinghu had not expected that his last disciple would learn so fast.

Shi Qinghu looked at the handsome young man sitting quietly in the library reading, and flipped through the articles and essays he had learned. It was a good thing to have such an excellent disciple, but he was also a little helpless.

Although he was still young, he was already very knowledgeable. With such qualifications, he could pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi. However, Shi Qinghu was a little worried that he would be trapped in the officialdom at such a young age.

In just three years, Shi Qinghu had finished teaching everything he knew. Looking at the young man with expectant eyes, Shi Qinghu also sighed.

"I have nothing left to teach you."

"It's a bit early to take the imperial examination now. Do you want to travel and study? Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Perhaps you can experience more."

Looking at the essays and policies written by this outstanding disciple, Shi Qinghu also felt that he had no problem. These essays and policies also had a certain degree of maturity.

If he could see the real people's livelihood, he would make greater progress. The excellence of this last disciple was beyond his imagination.

He almost thought that the descent of Wenquxing was a real thing. Such an outstanding talent must be well cultivated, and Shi Qinghu also hoped to cultivate a good official for the people. In the future, the Daqian Dynasty will also have an excellent mainstay.

Study Tour?

Having experienced so many worlds, he has seen a lot of reality. But this is another world, and at his current age, he can't possibly see much.

It is not impossible to go on a study tour, just to have a look around and learn about the customs and practices of the world. However, personal safety still needs to be guaranteed.

Qian Tongyu also told his family about this when he returned home. Xie Cheng, who became Qian Tongyu's brother-in-law, also made a suggestion.

"Tong Yu has already achieved the title of scholar, so it's time for him to have a servant boy. Having a servant boy around can also take care of his daily life."

"It's still a bit dangerous to go out and study. We should prepare two guards to follow us. Or we can find a escort team to follow us."

Xie Cheng didn't have much idea about studying abroad, as he already had a family. Xie Cheng was several years older than Qian Tongyu.

This year he plans to take part in the provincial examination. If he passes the examination and becomes an official, he will bring his family with him. His wife is pregnant now, so traveling to study is not suitable for him.

Xie Cheng has learned a lot from his father and uncle, the county magistrate, in the past few years, and his thinking and ideas have become more mature than before. He can also understand the meaning of Master Shi asking Qian Tongyu to go on a study tour.

This brother Qian was a man of natural talent, but he was a little too young. Although he had the potential to become a Jinshi, it was not a good thing for him to enter the officialdom too early.

The Qian family finally followed Xie Cheng's advice. They almost forgot that they had to prepare a servant for Jin Sun.

They finally brought back a teenager who had fled from famine and sold himself. He looked innocent and honest.

He has a lot of strength, but he eats a lot, so he has been a bit unsalable here. The Qian family has made a lot of money in the past few years, so they don't care and can afford it.

Besides, my grandson might be in danger when he goes out to study, so it is a good thing to have such a strong book boy by his side. He can also take care of my grandson when the time comes.

When this sturdy book boy was brought over, Qian Tongyu was also a little surprised. But having such a book boy was indeed much more convenient.

Looking at this strong boy like a calf, Qian Tongyu could feel that he had no bad intentions and his eyes were clean.

Qian Tongyu was somewhat curious about why this young man was selling his body, so he couldn't help but ask, "Where are you from? What's your name?"

"Master, my name is Daniu. I'm from the north. Last year, there was a drought and people in my hometown couldn't survive, so they came to the south to avoid the disaster.

I am the only one left in my family. I can work and earn money, but the money I earn is not enough to feed myself, so I plan to sell it and find a landlord.

The young man named Daniu smiled innocently, without showing any sadness on his face. The sad time had passed, and he couldn't keep dwelling on the past if he wanted to survive.

Hearing the young man's words, Qian Tongyu felt a little uncomfortable. Although other families were followed by thin and gentle servants, this strong and powerful one was also good.

With this physique, if he learns some martial arts, he can be a very good bodyguard.

"Then you should stay with me from now on. I will definitely provide you with enough food. You will also get two taels of silver every month. If you do a good job, your salary will increase.

I will find you a master to teach you some moves and prepare some weapons. You can also be my bodyguard when I go out to study with you."

Although the family had made a lot of money in recent years, Qian Tongyu felt that he had to save more money. So Qian Tongyu decided to write a storybook.

He randomly took a pseudonym of Xuan Yi and started writing stories that girls liked. These stories were also very popular, because Qian Tongyu had signed a profit-sharing agreement before, so he could get a share of the profits from selling a storybook.

The more he sold, the more money he made. Qian Tongyu earned tens of thousands of taels of silver from his storybooks every year. These stories about ghosts and monsters or about love between men and women have been sold well all over Daqian.

Qian Tongyu, who was not short of money, had more than enough to support a boy who ate a lot. He also planned to save more money so that he could buy a house in the capital.

Daniu didn't expect that after being bought, he would not only be able to have enough food every day, but also receive two taels of monthly salary. He just felt like a big pie fell from the sky and hit him on the head.

"Thank you, Master."

Daniu grinned, his already high loyalty index almost going off the charts. The young master was so good to him.

Two taels of silver could buy a slave outside. But if he wanted to eat, this money alone would not be enough. But the young master provided him with food and accommodation and also gave him silver, so he could save this money.

At that time, he could buy some extra delicious food. Daniu couldn't even imagine such a happy life. If he had met the young master earlier, maybe his family could have survived.

Qian Tongyu is going to study abroad, and this trip may take several years. The family is reluctant to let him go, but this may be a good thing for his grandson to study abroad.

Qian Xiaolan said reluctantly: "Why not forget about the study tour? It's so dangerous out there, what if something happens?"

This grandson is their beloved baby, what will they do if he encounters any danger while traveling to various places in Daqian? Can a book boy and two guards protect their grandson?

What if you encounter bandits?

Qian Xiaolan held her grandson's hand, with tears in her eyes.

Qian Mu and Qian Yu, the parents, were also reluctant to let the child go. This time the child would be away for several years. They had never been separated from the child for so many years.

"Tong Yu, Dad and Mom can't bear to leave you..."

"Does this study tour really take several years? Can we just take a walk around Nanjing Prefecture and come back?"

The uncles and aunts at home were also talking about this, because this was the only male child of this generation in the family. All the girls in the family were married now, and this was the only golden nugget left.

But this study tour was proposed by Shi Laojinshi. Shi Laojinshi also gave many visiting cards, all of which were his connections and were all famous teachers.

If Sun Sun goes to study, he can also visit these people and learn a lot from them. Although they think this is a good thing, it also has certain risks.

Qian Tongyu felt helpless when so many people at home cared about him.
