Chapter 419 Shen He is late in entering the 3 Mountain Academy
It was painful for him to give so much money, but it was worth it.
As long as his son can recognize the county lord as his teacher.
From now on, the Shen family can rely on the county magistrate.
Walking sideways in town.
If one day He Chi passes the imperial examination and even becomes a Jinshi.
He deserves to be called an old master.
The more Shen Zhong thought about it, the happier he became.
The mouth is about to smile crookedly.
"Oh, then I am relieved. However, I heard that the county magistrate's only son is also in Sanshan Academy and has not yet been engaged. Otherwise, you can take Zhu'er with you tomorrow."
Duan Lian'er's eyes rolled around.
Taking the information she had heard to heart, she acted coquettishly and said to Shen Zhong angrily.
"What nonsense! That's a school! Not a restaurant, not even a teahouse! No matter how much I love and pamper Zhu'er, I can't take her to school. Besides, Zhu'er is only eight years old, and the county magistrate's son is said to be sixteen or seventeen years old. Do you think it's possible? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I usually spoil you, so don't get involved in this kind of big thing."
It was rare for Shen Zhong to slap Duan Lian'er in front of the maid.
He pushed away Duan Lian'er who was leaning on his shoulder.
He lectured in a stern tone.
"Master, you misunderstood me. I just wanted Zhu'er to broaden her horizons. How could I dare to dream that Zhu'er would be favored by the magistrate's son? You know, over the years, I have only given birth to a son and a daughter. Wei'an passed away early. Now, I only have Zhu'er as my child. My heart is all for you, Master.
The rest is all given to Zhuer. Of course I hope Chier is well, but I also want our Zhuer to be well in the future. The county magistrate has only one son. He might like Zhuer when he sees her and adopt her as his goddaughter. I heard that the county magistrate adopted a little girl from a merchant family in our town as his goddaughter, so why can't our Zhuer do the same?"
One road is blocked.
There is another way waiting.
Duan Lian'er changed her way of saying it.
Plus she mentioned her son who died young.
Shen Zhong's heart softened all of a sudden.
"Don't cry. I know you are doing this for Zhu'er's own good. Just take her with you. She is just a little girl. The magistrate cannot scold her when he sees her. You must talk to Zhu'er and tell her to stop making trouble and behave herself. If the magistrate does not like her, don't offend him.
So as not to implicate He Chi, understand? Hey, I've been out all year round, and I don't know what happened in Lianshan Town, I don't understand as well as you do. I'm sure you've found out clearly, otherwise you wouldn't say it. I was harsh just now, it's my fault, don't cry anymore."
Shen Zhong helped her wipe away her tears.
Then he put his arms around her slender waist.
Went back to the house.
A concubine.
He actually used the word "husband".
He really made up his mind to make Duan Lian'er his legal wife.
All the servants saw his attitude towards Duan Lian'er.
From then on, they were more respectful to Duan Lian'er.
"Cough, cough, cough, huh, tui——" In the study room in the second courtyard of the Dong family, Meng Zhili sat on the armchair, reading a book.
He cleared his throat from time to time, coughed, and spit all the time.
Dong Qingyuan took a special spitting container and caught Meng Zhili's spit.
There was no trace of disgust on her face, but instead she looked worried.
"Why haven't you recovered yet? Didn't you ask the doctor from Lin County to see him? He was Doctor Liu, who learned from the imperial physician. His medical skills are very good."
Dong Qingyuan patted Meng Zhili on the back to help him calm down.
"It's better than before. Maybe I ate something sweet last night, so it got a little worse. My throat feels a little uncomfortable. Madam, bring me a cup of hot tea."
Meng Zhili touched Dong Qingyuan's hand and said.
"No, it's already evening, why drink tea? Besides, you're still taking medicine, and the doctor has strictly ordered you not to drink tea. Have you forgotten?"
Dong Qingyuan even felt a little regretful.
Ever since her husband became the county magistrate.
Not only does he go out early and come back late, he is also always sick.
She was really afraid that one day her husband would fall ill and could not get up again.
If I had known this would happen, I would have rather not done it.
"Okay, okay, I don't want to drink tea. Never mind, let's go to bed early. The smell of candle smoke makes my throat feel worse."
Meng Zhili put down the book and stood up from the chair.
Then he took Dong Qingyuan's hand and went to the bedroom.
"Fubao will come tomorrow. Let her take your pulse. Fubao is a very smart child. I had irregular menstruation before and had some pain in my lower abdomen. After I drank the medicine she prescribed, my menstruation has been normal for three consecutive months."
Bed.
Dong Qingyuan praised her goddaughter.
The pride in his eyes was about to overflow.
"Well, Fubao is capable and smart. Not only is his medical skills, but his knowledge is no worse than those of the students in the academy. It's a pity that women have a hard time in this world. If Fubao were a man, he would definitely have a bright future. Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Go to bed early."
Meng Zhili always felt like there was phlegm stuck in his throat.
My breathing is a little difficult.
He didn't want to talk, but he was afraid that his wife would worry about his health.
I had to lie and say I was sleepy.
"Okay, let's go to sleep." Dong Qingyuan closed her eyes.
Sleep inside the bed.
She turned sideways, facing Meng Zhili, with her left hand on his chest.
After a while, the breathing became heavy.
But Meng Zhili's throat felt a little itchy, and he was afraid of disturbing Dong Qingyuan.
He held it in until his face turned red, but he refused to cough.
He swallowed the phlegm in his throat forcefully.
Finally, he felt so uncomfortable that he fell asleep.
When you wake up again.
It's daybreak.
After getting dressed and washing up, the couple went to Dong Wei's courtyard and had breakfast with him.
The beginning of the Chen hour.
Shen Zhong brought his children to the gate of Sanshan School.
After the doorman passed the message.
Only three people were allowed in.
Passing through Sanshan Academy.
We arrived at the main hall at the entrance of Dong’s courtyard.
The maid had already placed the tea on the left.
Three cups in total.
Not even one cup more.
"I am honored to meet the magistrate, Mr. Dong." Shen Zhong was very humble.
Although he didn't kneel, his waist was almost bent to his knees.
"I greet the magistrate and Mr. Dong." Shen Hechi also bowed and saluted.
Only Shen Zhuer raised her head and looked around.
"Zhu'er, have you met the magistrate yet?" Not hearing his daughter's voice, Shen Zhong hurriedly tugged at her sleeve.
"Oh, Zhu'er meets the magistrate." Shen Zhu'er finally reacted.
She neither kneeled nor bent over, but looked straight at Meng Zhili.
It looks very rude.
Meng Zhili was not angry. After all, she was just a little girl, and her age was similar to that of his beloved goddaughter.
Just hummed.
Just let them sit down.
"Your name is Shen Hechi? What's your number on the list?" The Shen family's ancestral home is not in Qixi County.
Originally Meng Zhili wanted to investigate, but he was not in Chang'an Town, and the Shen family was coming today.
So I know nothing about him.
"I am a humble student, ranking fourth on the list." Shen Hechi, who was sitting on a chair, heard the magistrate calling him.
He quickly stood up and replied.
"Not bad, not low." Seeing that he had a good appearance, a decent posture, and good knowledge, Meng Zhili did not make things difficult for him. However, because of Shen Zhong's gift, he did not give him a good look.
