Shen Chenai's Different Life in Ancient Times

The anecdote that Luo Ding's Qidi fled when he was watching the women's corner was spread in the streets and alleys of Fengcheng for a while.Originally, he alone could not attract much interest from the people, but who made Shen Chenai willing to go around collecting winds in his spare time, so the common people in Fengcheng basically knew him well.

That's how people are, if you listen to gossip about someone you don't know, just talk and laugh and it's over.But if this person is known, and he is a little famous, then the speed of the spread of the gossip can only be timed at the speed of light.

Shen Chenai met almost all of the above conditions, so he couldn't run away after all, so he was extremely heroic and added a conversation piece for everyone after dinner.

Between talking and laughing, spring and summer have passed, and the season is now early autumn.At this time in Luoding, the piglets captured years ago have been eating and drinking for seven or eight months, and now they weigh more than 100 catties. when eating.

According to the previously signed contract, last month Luo Ding personally selected 50 fat pigs and sent them to Wuwei.According to the reply from the Armed Forces Mansion later, the newly added meat was very popular among the officers and soldiers, especially those middle and lower rank officers, who liked pork belly far more than beef and mutton.

The love of the soldiers has greatly increased the confidence of the Armed Forces Mansion. With the same price, pork can at least half the weight of beef and mutton, so no matter where you look at it, pork is more suitable .

It is said that the current senior officials of the Wuwei Army are discussing whether to increase the supply of pork. Luo Ding believes that after a detailed comparison, he will definitely be the final winner in this military offensive and defensive battle.

Luo Ding's business is booming, and Shen Chenai's side is not idle.A few months ago, Mrs. Chen, who had never asked for anything, suddenly brought tea cakes to Shen Chenai's side, stammering as if she had something to say but didn't know what to say.

For this old aunt who took good care of herself, Shen Chenai still respected her very much in her heart. Looking at her expression at that time, Shen Chenai knew that she might be asking for something, so Shen Chenai didn't argue with her, but just let her have something to say. But it's okay to say.

Only then did Mrs. Chen brazenly tell Shen Chenai about the family affairs, and then said with her head lowered as she wiped her tears: "Families like us don't ask our child to have a lot of promise in the future, but only ask him to learn a trick. In the future, I will be able to make a living with my skills. I don’t ask you to teach me anything with your heart. I just wait by your side and can read some words. I don’t need to be a blind man with my eyes open like us.”

Mrs. Chen's request did not make it difficult for Shen Chenai, but if this child came over, it would be difficult for Shen Chenai to arrange whether he would be considered a student or an apprentice.

Finally, he thought about it and said to Mrs. Chen: "Since you are interested, let the child come over first. I don't have so much attention here, so I don't need to wait for it. After the child comes, let's learn for a few days. After all, things like painting and calligraphy are more about hard work than talent, if the child's future is not on top of that, I'll ask Luo Ding again to see what he can do."

Mrs. Chen was overjoyed when she heard the words, and brought her little grandson over with a gift box the next day.Shen Chenai looked at the child, and sure enough, just as Mrs. Chen said, he was really thin and small. Standing together, he was about the same height as Yue Gui. It was impossible to tell that he was two or three years older than Yue Gui.

However, although this child is thin and small, his eyes are bright and flexible, and he is a clever kid at first glance.Shen Chenai wanted to try him out, so she asked him to come with Mrs. Chen every day for the past few days, and sat beside him to watch her draw. Mistake, and let the little grandson of the Chen family point it out.

After a few careful glances, the boy pointed out the flaws with his hands without hesitation. This proves that the boy's eyesight and memory are very good, and it also made Shen Chenai treat him a little more. satisfaction.

When he was asked his name, what surprised Shen Chenai was that the child hadn't even had a name yet, only the four youngest sons were calling at home, saying that the child had been in poor health since he was a child, and he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the burden if he was named too early. .

Now that Shen Chenai asked, the Chen family, who had long been interested, wanted to ask Shen Chenai to give the child a name, but they refused.After all, the name involved too much, most of it was a blessing from the elders in the family to his child, Shen Chenai felt that he was not qualified enough, so he politely declined, but he still said that if he was destined to be with the child, he would wait until he grows up. On this occasion, I will definitely send my name.

This is also the rule of Shen Chenai's side. If he really accepts his apprentice, the master will definitely give the apprentice a title, just like the word "Shen Chenai Yunwu", which was given to him by his grandfather on his birthday.

Shen Chenai's refusal was expected by the Chen family, so although they were a little disappointed, their family quickly named the child.The common people's family does not have too many demands, so the child's last name is the word "An", and the family hopes that he can be safe forever.

The arrival of Xiao Chen An reminded Shen Chenai that among the two children in the family, Xiao Shan was only over two years old, so there was nothing to worry about.But Yuegui is different. Even counting her birthday this year, she is almost seven years old.

This is an age suitable for entering school in modern times, but in the current environment, no government schools or private schools are willing to recruit female students. In a place like Fengcheng, it is impossible to find such a person.

After thinking about it, Shen Chenai felt that education was a big deal, and children should not be delayed because of insufficient conditions.If you really can't find a teacher, then he will teach. Anyway, he and Luo Ding don't expect Yuegui to become a talented woman. As long as she can write and count, she won't be afraid of losing words when she goes out in the future, that's enough.

So from that day on, every day after Yue Gui finished her horse stance, she would come to Shen Chenai to learn cultural knowledge.

In order to be able to teach the children better, Luo Ding cleaned up the two west wing rooms for Shen Chenai. There are all kinds of school supplies in them, which is almost like a small private school.

After teaching and watching for a few days, Shen Chenai had a basic understanding of the academic nature of the two children.Chen Ping's child, Shen Chenai really did not make a mistake. This child's talent is very good, especially in the perception of color and light, which is very outstanding.

Moreover, this child has perseverance and is willing to endure hardships.To be honest, the basic exercises of painting are very boring. When Shen Chenai first came to learn, his grandfather had to comfort him with snacks and toys so that he could sit there quietly and study.But this child doesn't need it, he will earnestly do the homework arranged by Shen Chenai well every day, and will actively ask for extra classes.

In comparison, Yuegui's side made Shen Chenai feel a little bit pained.If it wasn't for the child's disobedience, Yue Gui was very smart, and she learned what she was taught very quickly, but everything else was fine, except for practicing calligraphy, which killed her.

Since ancient times, practicing calligraphy has been a matter of self-cultivation.Therefore, the person who writes needs to be calm, focused and selfless.But with Yuegui's age and personality, how could she be quiet.Every time she practiced calligraphy, it took no longer than half an hour at most, and she would start to move around like thorns on a mat.

Every time Shen Chenai looked at the big characters she handed in, she felt her head hurt.Fortunately, this child is extremely talented in arithmetic. Shen Chenai just taught her the fingering of the abacus, but after half a day she was able to use it flexibly. Recently, one of Laurel's favorite games is to play with the abacus and dial the beads .

As a teacher for the first time, while Shen Chenai was educating others with her heart, she also had some different understandings in her heart.Now the paintings he created are more unpretentious, but also more intriguing to interpret.

With the newly drawn works, Shen Chenai went out to find Xu Jian who hadn't seen him for a long time. Xu Jian had been studying in the county school for the past six months, and had obtained excellent grades in the exam for five consecutive months.As long as he does it once, he will be eligible to take the township examination next year, so Xu Jian has been reading books with extra care recently.

He was paying attention, but Yue Chong didn't say anything.Little Jane hadn't taken that damned county school step for three consecutive months, which made him more and more anxious waiting outside. People who knew the inside story were laughing at him for becoming a husband-wife stone.

Yesterday was his 29th birthday. Yue Chong, who had never lived a birthday before, abducted Xu Jian from the county school this time in order to find a reason. He set up a table at home without hesitation. He deliberately sent the invitation to Xu Jian in person.

When Xu Jian, who came to attend the birthday banquet, arrived at the place, she really wanted to make Yue Chong look awkward. Who has ever seen a birthday banquet with only one table and only one guest?This time, Xu Jian met him in an eye-opening way.

No matter how confused he was in his heart, Xu Jian's birthday gift was finally given out, and Yue Chong's goal of meeting his sweetheart was also achieved. As for the birthday banquet turned into a candlelight dinner for two people, such a small matter should not be ignored. Forget about it.

Xu Jian's unhappy mood disappeared after seeing Shen Chenai's new painting.I saw him concentrating on looking at the painting unfolded in his hands, and from time to time, he gently stroked it with his hand, and his face was full of obsession.

It wasn't until he was dizzy because he forgot to breathe, that Xu Jian reluctantly put down the painting in his hand, raised his head and said to Shen Chenai in amazement: "It's just a few months since I saw you, but your painting skills have improved. Improvement. Now it seems that it has returned to the basics, and it will reach the perfection if it continues like this."

Shen Chenai smiled lightly and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you said. It's just that I have realized something recently, so it's reflected in the painting."

Xu Jian heard the words and said: "You don't have to be polite, you write with a heart, and you are far ahead of others in this one alone. If it weren't for my lack of strength, I would definitely keep all these paintings as treasures and never show them to others."

Xu Jian's compliment made Shen Chenai very excited. On the way back, he deliberately came to Luo Ding's butcher's shop, intending to go back with him today, but he never expected that the originally cheerful atmosphere would turn into dark clouds in an instant.
