The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

 Chapter 705 Shen Ji’s distinguished guest comes (2)

In the past two years, with the help of the Mo family, they ask the villagers for help whenever something happens, and the wages they pay are higher than elsewhere. The lives of many people have become easier. Even if they are still not as good as other villages, they are not much different. It will only get better in the future.

Life in the village gradually got better, and Yang Bao came up with another idea, which was to build a school so that the stupid kids who had nothing to do all day could study and learn etiquette. Even if no one got the honors in a short period of time, at least there was still hope, maybe one day Whose family’s ancestral graves are covered in smoke?

This is not only the glory of one family, but the glory of the entire village. In short, the more scholars in the village, the more prosperous the village will be. In the future, when he, the village chief, dies, at least with his "great achievements" in building the school, he can leave a mark in the village annals, and his life in this world will not be in vain.

Of course, several other village chiefs also hope that there will be promising people in the village. They have been arguing for more than half a year and have not settled the matter. They just want to grab the place where the school is built in their own village, especially after seeing the prosperity of the Mo family. After getting up, this thought became stronger.

 But the reasons given by Yang Bao left them unable to refute, but they were not willing to leave this opportunity to Liuyang Village.

As a result, a new round of debate started among several village chiefs to see who could take away the "fat meat" of Jianxuetang.

Naturally, the Mo family's father and daughter didn't know what happened in the small living room. At this time, they were welcoming guests at the gate. Not long after, Shopkeeper Xing and Shopkeeper Muxing arrived. They stepped forward and said "congratulations" and presented congratulatory gifts. I was invited to the big study room.

The two of them warmed the Mo family's house last year and got to know Mr. Liu and Han Zhiyun. Although the four of them came from different backgrounds and had different social classes, they were all well-informed and experienced. When they got together, they could chat enthusiastically.

 It was approaching noon, and almost everyone who was supposed to come had already arrived. Only Xiao Ruiyuan, Yan Junyu, the "same year" invited by Mo Qingze and a few mentors had not yet arrived.

Not a single person was seen on the road leading out of the village. Guessing whether those people would arrive soon, Mo Qingze pretended to casually talk to his daughter about his "same age".

 The surname of "Tong Nian" is Shen Mingji. He is nineteen years old. In Mo Qingze's opinion, he is a gentle and rare young talent. Mo Qingze met him at a poetry competition held in the academy.

 Mo Qingze’s first impression of Shen Ji was very good. After the poetry competition, the two became familiar with each other. As the understanding deepened, Mo Qingze began to like him as his son-in-law. After asking him about the situation at home, he became more and more interested.

Shen Ji’s hometown is in Huaishui County, which is directly under the capital. It is only more than a hundred miles away from the capital. He is the only son in the family, his parents are still alive, his family is wealthy, but he is very motivated. He was admitted as a scholar at the age of 16, and later studied at Changshan Academy. He also participated in this Qiuwei session, and got the ranking, and was better than Han Zhiyun. It's still more than ten places higher, ranking thirty.

 After knowing the result, Shen Ji ordered his attendants to take the good news home to comfort his parents, and stayed alone in a rented house in Beijing to study with peace of mind, preparing to attend next year's Spring Festival.

"In short, this Shen Ji is a good young man. He works hard and makes progress without anyone having to worry about it. He is much better than Zhen'er." Mo Qingze praised Shen Ji full of praise, but his little son had a headache again.

After hearing so much, how could Mo Yan not know that the great scholar Shen was the son-in-law that his father was looking for? It sounded great, but she really wasn't interested.

Moreover, the more perfect this person is in the eyes of his father, the less likely Xiao Ruiyuan will be, and in the end the three of them will be in trouble.

Just when she was thinking about how to avoid talking about this topic, her father mentioned Zhen'er and quickly picked up the topic: "Zhen'er is just a bit out-tempered, but she has a bright mind and works hard. She has done well in these monthly exams." In the top three, dad, you don’t have to worry.”
