I played as an assistant in ancient times

"Behind." Shen Xiaoye would never say that his uncle was busy wiping the dust off his face, so as not to make the old lady feel distressed.

Lin reached out and grabbed her wrist, "Look, you're tanned. I won't let you go."

He then used his other hand to grab the sweet tea on the table and gave it to her, "Drink."

"Please spare me, grandma. My cousin has brought a large barrel of water to the village entrance and offered it all to my Five Gods Temple." Shen Xiaoye called her grandma sincerely. When they were fighting against the bandits, the old lady blocked a stick for her and her cousin and nearly lost her life.

And this is an elder who loves children.

Lin patted her hands. She didn't say that she was worried because she came back late. Instead, she said, "You don't want to skip the meal, do you? Go and have dinner with your aunt. She ground new wheat this morning and made white noodles for you."

"Grandma, I also worked the mill and fished all night long, which I earned a lot of copper coins at the market." Thirteen-year-old Shen Cungeng leaned over to show off his achievements.

Lin smiled and touched his head, "You are rewarded, I will remember your merit."

"You're just showing off." Huang also laughed and scolded him.

"My cousin is awesome." Shen Xiaoye praised him generously, and the room was filled with laughter.

Shen Changsui came in at this time and put his saddle bag on the table. "Mom, we also had a great harvest today. Later, I met some classmates and talked more about schoolwork. Fortunately, we got a ride on the ox cart, otherwise we would have come back even later.

I sold cherries for 1,280 wen, mulberries for 200 wen, and flowers for 42 wen, so I have exactly 1,438 wen left. Sister-in-law, keep it."

After returning home and settling down, Lin let Huang take charge of the household accounts.

She said, "Homework is more important. I'll bring some new wheat flour and melons to you some other day.

Wait for your father and elder brother to come back so that you can take Geng'er to school.

Anyone can pick the fruits on the mountain, it's not a long-term solution, you should concentrate on your studies and don't be distracted." Lin supported her children and grandchildren to take the imperial examinations. Her mother's family had two Jinshi, and the whole Wuli Village benefited from it.

Shen Changsui smiled and responded. What he was thinking was another matter. However, Shen Cungeng had something to say: "Grandma, the school in the county is good,

But the cost of food and accommodation is high, so I think it’s better for me to go to the Lin clan to study, which is close and cheap.”

His fourth uncle had only studied in Mr. Pan's school for three months, and had spent more than the family's income for several months. He knew that he could not progress as fast as his fourth uncle, and did not want to spend more money.

Alas... before he was ten years old, he had never worried about money.

"So what if it's cheap? The Tangjiaji Society School has not yet closed. But there is only a student there, and Mr. Pan is a Jinshi. Even if he is a Jinshi, he is still very valuable.

Back then, the second son of the Lin family did not study in the clan school. No, the clan school was set up by the eldest son after he passed the imperial examination.

You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. This year, we have two strong laborers to escort the escort, so you don't need to save money at home.

Also, you are not allowed to go fishing in the river tonight. You must recite your lessons well with your fourth uncle.

..." Lin became excited as she spoke.

Shen Cungeng hurriedly looked around for help, but his mother pretended not to see him and said she wanted to go downstairs.

My cousin just watched it for fun, and only my dear fourth uncle was willing to save her.

"Mom, have a drink of water." Shen Changsui offered tea to Lin. His biological mother passed away early in his previous life, and living with his grandmother gave him the patience to treat the elderly.

Although Lin is less than 50 years old, in ancient times when the average life expectancy was not high, his age was far beyond the average.

In addition to giving birth to five children and the doubled work and running around in recent years, her face has added many wrinkles, and her half-gray and half-white hair is wildly advancing towards a full head of white hair and cannot be stopped.

Her father and brother didn't tell her that the escort agency was eyeing her eldest brother, and that the old man had too many old injuries and was not suitable for escorting anymore. This time, he was taking a ride to find his relatives out of a favor from an old friend.

He added: "Don't be reluctant to use the Polygonum multiflorum that the old man got last time."

"You're wasting good medicinal herbs. I'll sell them to the clinic and exchange them for some paper and ink for you." Lin suppressed her hand that wanted to touch her hair. She would never see her once black hair again.

Shen Changsui refused, "I have enough pens, ink, paper and inkstone for this year. You..."

"My dear, stop talking so much and go eat. I can hear Xiaoye's stomach growling." Lin started to chase people away.

Shen Xiaoye pouted and snorted: "I'm not greedy, it's just that my stomach wants to eat."

"Hahaha..." Laughter rang out in the room again, causing Huang's hands to tremble in the kitchen, and the noodles became shorter.

Shen Changsui took the opportunity to say that his father and brother would be back in a few days, and said nothing else.

In a moment, Shen Xiaoye finished two bowls of noodles with egg sauce and fried peas and tofu under the palm-leaf fan of her aunt, enjoying it very much.

Huang served noodle soup to the two and her son. She specially arranged for the three of them to eat in the west wing today. "Mother is asleep, let's talk about tofu."

"What's wrong with the tofu?" Shen Cungeng, who came to join in the fun, ate it with relish.

Huang glanced at him and said, "Eat your food and don't talk."

Shen Xiaoye and his uncle looked at each other and knew that they couldn't hide the fact that they brought back the shredded tofu from their aunt. Since the doors and windows were open, there was no need to worry about anyone hearing.

Of course, she didn't think that the Guard Bureau would send someone to eavesdrop, so she sorted out her thoughts and started from the beginning.

Huang frowned as she listened, and suppressed her son from asking questions. After Xiaoye finished speaking, she asked, "Sui'er, what did you find out?"

Her brother-in-law was almost raised by her and her husband, and she always calls him by his name.

Shen Changsui drank half a bowl of soup and said, "The teacher said that the second son of Lord Cheng'en was imprisoned a few days ago for embezzling military supplies, and several people were implicated and had their official positions and property confiscated.

Among them was the Mansion of the Earl of Zhongqin, but his daughter was a concubine and his eldest grandson was a study companion to the Eighth Prince.

When the siege took place, his eldest grandson was away and begged the Eighth Prince, who was playing with him, for help. "

"Go back to the palace to beg for mercy?" Shen Cungeng asked when his fourth uncle paused, risking being hit by his own mother.

Shen Changsui sighed, “This is how it normally works, but it’s different for a group of people feasting and having fun.

Not only did they prevent the person who was arresting someone from entering the park, they also sent several teenagers of similar age and size to confuse the group and send them out of the park in different groups, making it impossible to track down the person in the first place.

Later in the afternoon, we found out that it was the fifth son who gave the idea to the eighth son. The emperor was furious and went to the main hall with a horse whip to beat his son who was in class.

"It's a good brain, but it's a pity..." He didn't use it in the right place. Shen Xiaoye shook his head. It's not certain. After all, the princes fight against each other regardless of age.

She asked, "So, Master Lin was punished for failing to teach well, and the person we met was a member of the Hun Yao Vision and Audio-visual Group?"

"Not quite. When the emperor decided to severely punish the prince and mentioned the young men who attended the banquet, Master Lin, who was present, advised him to let the officials handle the case according to the law, which led to the rebuke of the teacher for not teaching strictly.

The conversation went on to another place. It was said that the two sides had heated words. The teacher did not elaborate so I could not ask. He only said that Master Lin was punished and was told to "go home and read the book thoroughly before coming back." Shen Changsui looked at his nephew.

Geng Ge'er reacted very quickly: "If you are beaten with a heavy stick, your life may be in danger. Not all the participants may know about this."

"Alas, this matter must not be spread outside." Huang also understood something. The father beat his son and felt distressed, so he took his anger out on others. Fortunately, someone persuaded him in time.
