The ancient farming life of liberal arts scum

The people of Shenjia Village not only have to worship their ancestors, but also have to rebuild their ancestral halls.

Master carpenters from all over the world gathered here to discuss the important matter of building the ancestral hall.

Shen Ge was not familiar with these things, so he didn't participate much, leaving the full power to the village, and only provided financial support all the time.

On the day of the start of work, the whole village had a start-of-work meal together again.

Shen Ge spent the whole morning discussing with the clan elders about building the ancestral hall. Seeing that it was time for lunch, Shen Ge called for Manzi, "Manzi, go to Xunjiazhuang and invite Brother Xun over for lunch."

"Yes, Master." Manzi responded and walked out.

Shen Hongfa's expression darkened when he saw Manzi leave.

The entire Kunjiu County knew that the current emperor had bestowed a marriage on Shen Zhuangyuan and Xun Guogong, and no one dared to speak out and say that this was inappropriate, not even Shen Hongfa.

He couldn't even resist his mother-in-law's objection to taking Shen Ge home to raise him, let alone resist the will of the current Holy Majesty.In fact, no one except his family knew that he was dissatisfied with his nephew's marriage.

Shen Ge naturally knew what his uncle was thinking. His uncle was traditional, and it was normal if he couldn't accept it.Although Shen Ge felt helpless, he couldn't convince him. He could only wait for the time to pass and let his uncle get used to it.

For the country people, a number one scholar is already a great official, and many people are extremely nervous when facing Shen Ge.Fortunately, Shen Ge is a serious Shen family villager, from the same ancestor, and the villagers are nervous, and they are not panicked when they see him.

Xun Feiguang is not the case, he is a high-ranking Duke, even though most people don't know what kind of official the Duke is, they still dare not approach Xun Feiguang.

The two are about to get married, no matter what Xun Feiguang's status is, he will be a member of Shenjia Village, so Shen Ge insists on inviting him over.

Xun Feiguang didn't delay and came down the mountain soon.

Under the resignation of the second master and the other elders, Xun Feiguang took the main seat, and Shen Ge sat next to him.

Xun Feiguang said very little and didn't express any opinions, but just listened quietly with a very serious attitude.

The people of Shenjia Village had half a meal with him, and they could not help but relax a little after confirming his character.

Shen Ge's wedding date is June [-]th, which happened to be half a month away, and there was nothing to clean up on Shen Ge's side. Xun Feiguang had Guanshi Xun and a group of people preparing for it, and there was nothing to do by himself.

The matter of the ancestral hall in Shenjia Village came to an end for the time being, and Shen Ge took the time to bring gifts and take Xun Feiguang to the county town to visit Master Wu.

After Hu Qingyan arrived in Shenjia Village, he lived in Shen Ge's house all the time. Xun Feiguang invited him to live in Xunjiazhuang, but he did not go.Living in the house built when Shen Ge's mother was there, he felt sad when he looked at Shen Ge's house, which looked extremely simple compared to the residence in Kyoto and even the previous Hu's house.

Shen Ge couldn't persuade him much, so he could only give him some time.

This day Shen Ge and Xun Feiguang were going to visit Master Wu, and Hu Qingyan also said they would go.

Shen Ge agreed, "Uncle, after you and I go to Master Wu's house, please help me say more good things."

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

It was the first time for Shen Ge to go back to visit Mrs. Wu after being admitted as the No. [-] scholar. The main purpose of this visit was to convey the news of the marriage to this old man who was also a teacher and a father.

Shen Ge previously asked Xiao Siyuan to intercede with Wu Qiu for him, and when Wu Shiyu came back to visit his relatives first, he asked Senior Brother Wu to intercede with his wife. Shen Ge was not so worried that Mrs. Wu would not accept his marriage, but he was afraid that he would lose his temper If you don't come out, you will be angry.

Shen Ge knocked on the door, and it was Ran Suxuan who opened the door.

When Wu Shiyu was admitted to Jinshi, he had family leave. They had less time to spend with his parents in this small family. Now that he was admitted to Jinshi, he wanted to spend more time with his parents, so he stayed at home and didn't go anywhere after he came back.

"Brother!" Ran Suxuan had surprise in her eyes when she saw Shen Ge, and she hurriedly greeted, "Come in and sit down, brother, so do these two adults."

When Wu Yushi heard the movement, he ran out of the hall to watch, and hurriedly saluted Xun Feiguang and Hu Qingyan, "Well, my lords, come in quickly, brother."

After Wu Yushi returned to the capital, he went through the assessment again before he could be awarded an official position. He is not yet an official official.

Mrs. Wu was tidying up in the kitchen. The sound of the group of people heard her ears. She wiped her hands and came out to look, "Ge'er, are you back?"

Shen Ge went over and gently hugged his wife who was much shorter than him, and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm back."

"Hey, come in and sit down."

Shen Ge was so intimate, Mrs. Wu was a little embarrassed to accept it, with a blush on her face, she turned her head to greet Xun Feiguang and Hu Qingyan.

Xun Feiguang saluted her halfway and called out, "Master."

Mrs. Wu was a little at a loss, so she responded quickly.

Shen Ge supported her shoulder, "Master, this is my uncle."

Hu Qingyan stood up, "Shen Ge has been taking care of you for these years."

"You should, you should, you don't have to be polite." After all, Mrs. Wu is a girl from a small county town. After she warmly greeted her, she shouted into the house with some embarrassment: "Old man, your apprentice is here. Why don't you come out and hide in the house?" Are you hatching eggs?"

Shen Ge couldn't help laughing, and beckoned Xun Feiguang to bring in the gift, "There are still some out there, brother, let me get them."

"You child, why are you still so polite?"

Seeing them carrying things in big baskets and small baskets, Mrs. Wu couldn't help complaining affectionately.

Knowing that she was thinking of herself, Shen Ge hurriedly hugged her and pushed her into the room, not asking her to refuse, "It's only natural and right to buy gifts to honor your master and teacher's wife when you are a disciple. You have to accept it, teacher's wife."

Mrs. Wu was amused by him, "It's promising, our Ge'er has already passed the first prize."

Xun Feiguang and Wu Shiyu brought in the gifts from the carriage, Master Wu stayed in the hall for a long time, listened to their conversation in the room, but refused to go in, couldn't help snorting, came out and looked at Shen Ge and Xun Feiguang angrily, "What are you doing dawdling outside?"

Shen Ge rubbed his nose and pulled Xun Feiguang and Hu Qingyan in.

Walking up to Master Wu, Shen Ge took the lead to introduce his uncle, "Master, I not only passed the examination in Beijing this time, but also met my uncle. This is my uncle Hu Qingyan."

Master Wu had a good impression of Hu Qingyan, and he and Hu Qingyan greeted each other.

Hu Qing said: "My uncle is incompetent, thanks to your teaching these years."

Master Wu was also polite, "It's all because of his own efforts, and I didn't teach anything."

After the topic was opened, the atmosphere became much more heated.

Shiniang Wu and Ran Suxuan were busy in the kitchen, Wu Qiu, who was married, was also called back, followed by her husband Xiao Siyuan, anyway, the two lived close together, so it was very convenient to move around.

Everyone was chatting lively, Maier and Liuer were leaning in Wu Shiyu's and Shen Ge's arms respectively, eating snacks and listening to the adults.

After drinking a round of tea, Shen Ge said: "Master, Xun Feiguang and I will get married on June [-]th, and then you and my wife can come and support us."

Master Wu let out his breath, "I didn't say a word before, but just informing you, Master, is it over?"

"Where?" Shen Ge sifted tea for him attentively, and said with a smile, "I came here just to ask for your permission."

"If I don't agree, what should you do?"

"Then I'll come here to beg until you agree." Shen Ge shook his head, and said solemnly: "But it's impossible, you are such a reasonable person, how can you disagree?"

"If I don't agree with the co-author, is it unreasonable?"

Master Wu said it anyway, drank some tea, but had no real intention of embarrassing him.The imperial decree has been issued, and it is useless for him to disagree with the old man.

Hu Qingyan sifted tea for Mrs. Wu, sighed and said: "When I heard the news earlier, I felt uncomfortable. To tell you the truth, I almost couldn't sleep at that time, and you will suffer accordingly. If my little sister and brother-in-law are still alive I am still alive, so I have to come over to offer tea to thank you. Now that they are not here, I am the elder brother’s substitute, don’t dislike me.”

Master Wu's expression softened a lot, he also thought of his friend who died young.

Xun Feiguang assured the elders present, "Don't worry, both of you, Ge'er and I are in love with each other, and we will live up to him in this life."

A person of Xun Feiguang's status said these words with his mouth of iron and copper teeth, so he naturally couldn't just say them like people in the market and forget them. Master Wu and Hu Qing believed him.

Mrs. Wu was still a little confused about this matter, but after several rounds of persuasion by his son-in-law and son, he had accepted the fact.

Shen Ge agreed with Master Wu, and then asked Master and Mistress to come to Shenjia Village to help organize the wedding.

Master Wu agreed immediately.

After Master Wu agreed, there was no obstacle on Shen Ge's end.As for Xun Feiguang, he is now in charge of the Xun family, the old lady has already been blocked by him, and he has the final say on everything.

The bright red silk was transported to Shenjia Village one by one, and all kinds of wedding utensils were also delivered one by one.

On this day, Guanshi Xun came to report that Bailiyi had arrived.

Xun Feiguang let people in.

Shen Ge took a look, but it was a fair and handsome man, he was smiling when he came in, he was very friendly, making people feel close at first sight.

"Master, madam."

"Call the second master." Xun Feiguang corrected him.

Although Shen Ge was married to him as a male wife in name, both of them were men, and it was expedient for outsiders to call him Madam, so Xun Feiguang was not happy that someone put Shen Ge in his vassal position.

Bai Liyi changed his words graciously, "Master, Second Master."

"Come here from outside the pass, it's been a hard journey."

"It's not hard work. This year, from the end of the year to this month, in half a year, the caravan has a net profit of 20 taels. There is money to be made, so it's not hard work." Bailiyi smiled, "I've sent someone to send you the account book."

Bai Liyi's hobby is making money, and he never finds it hard to earn money.

Xun Feiguang nodded and asked, "Did you make all the noise in the county town?"

Kunjiu County opened five inns in a row in just five days, and each of them was a perfect new inn, which formed a very obvious contrast with the small local inns in Kunjiu County. Xun Feiguang knew it was Bailiyi's handwriting at a glance .

Bai Liyi nodded, "These are newly rented inns, and four of them will be used for other purposes. The second master's jewelry store can also be opened here."

Shen Ge was a little curious, "Kunjiu County is so big, can opening so many inns make money?"

Bai Liyi smiled, "Yes, Second Master, you will know in a few days."
