Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

Chapter 8 Like a basket that has become a spirit

In the study room in the front yard, Shen Qinghuan knelt straight on the ground in front of the table.

When Lord Shen walked into the study, he saw the back that showed an expression of disobedience even though it was kneeling.

He paused, shook his head slightly, and walked inside again.

He walked over to Shen Qinghuan and patted his shoulder, "Stand up and talk."

Shen Qinghuan stood up obediently and stood respectfully in front of the table waiting for his father's lecture.

"Tell me, why is it this time?" Lord Shen walked to the armchair behind the table, sat down, and looked up at his eldest son.

At the age of twelve, a young man is free and full of vigor and vitality.

"Father, where did you invite this teacher from? He is really unbearable."

I stole a glance at my father and was caught by his gaze.

I suddenly felt weak, "Father, Father, I'm not blaming you for having a bad vision."

"It's just that when the teacher talked about Mulan joining the army to replace her father, he was full of disdain."

"It is unethical to say that Hua Mulan, as a woman, spent her days in a military camp full of men."

"It's said that women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. No matter what the situation is, they cannot violate the rules set by our ancestors."

"He looked down on women in his heart, but when he was young, he relied on his wife's dowry to study and take the imperial examinations!"

He became angrier as he spoke, his fists clenched tightly and veins bulged on the backs of his hands.

"The most hateful thing is that she even mentioned her mother in a subtle way, saying that she didn't have the bearing of a good wife..."

Lord Shen, who was originally enjoying his son's story, stood up and shouted angrily after hearing this: "Are you really saying that?!"

Seeing his father getting angry, Shen Qinghuan quickly knelt down and said, "Really, father! I don't want to be a person like him, and I don't want to be taught by a teacher of such character!"

"Father, don't be angry. I have already scolded that man severely and asked him to drive him away."

"I guess if this gets out, no one will be willing to hire him as a tutor anymore."

"You arranged for people to spread the news?"

"Yes. The tail was swept clean too. No one knows it was me who did it."

Seeing that his son had made such good arrangements, Lord Shen nodded with satisfaction, but he still felt a little angry.

It’s not the right time yet. Let’s wait until the storm has died down.

"Huan'er, do you still remember the child your father told you about who came to take the exam this year at the age of five?"

"Of course I remember. I ran into him at the entrance of the examination room. The little guy was carrying a big book basket on his back, and he was staggering as he walked."

"From a distance, it looks like a book basket spirit with legs."

When talking about the little baby, Shen Qinghuan's eyes narrowed with laughter.

"It's really interesting. Why did father mention him?"

"I sent someone to inquire around his home. His name is Yan Nansheng."

Lord Shen was quite puzzled to see his son was very excited when he mentioned the child.

This guy is not an easy person to get along with.

"He is from the Yan family in Beijing. He is the posthumous son of the fourth son of the Yan family."

"He is the only one in his generation."

"If you don't want to invite a teacher to your residence, then go to the county school."

Shen Qinghuan was stunned when he heard this, "Aren't we talking about that little kid? Why are we talking about school enrollment again?"

"Father, the teacher's lectures are like a lullaby. They make me sleepy. I really can't listen to them."

"And it's basically just a scripted retelling, no fun at all..."

Lord Shen: "The child from the Yan family is going too."

Shen Qinghuan: "I'll go!"

Mr. Shen: ...

******

With the crowing of a rooster, wisps of smoke rose from every household in the mountain village.

Yan Nansheng pushed the door open, walked into the yard, and stretched.

"Thorn..."

Yan Nansheng paused, his face full of disbelief.

"Pfft, hahahaha..."

Yuanniang really couldn't help herself, so she walked up to Yan Nansheng, hugged her little body and laughed non-stop.

"Mother~~~"

Yan Nansheng simply buried his face in his mother's waist, feeling so embarrassed.

Whose good child’s belly can burst his clothes!

I don’t know if it’s because of his good physical condition, but he is still white and plump at the age of five. When it’s cold, he wears thick clothes and looks like a moving ball, round and plump.

There is no other child as chubby as him in the village.

The others also got up, and when they heard the laughter in the yard, the corners of their mouths unconsciously curled up.

"Oh, whose lucky doll is this? Its little belly is full of blessings. It's really rare."

Mrs. Yan just happened to come in from the gate. Seeing Yan Nansheng's embarrassed look, she liked him very much and started teasing him.

When Yan Nansheng heard his aunt's voice, he ran out from his mother's fragrant arms again. He ran towards his aunt like a bird flying into the forest and snuggled into her arms.

"Aunt, you're out so early?"

Sister Yan picked up Yan Nansheng and said as they walked, "The village chief just called someone over, saying that he wanted to organize people to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and chop firewood to prepare for the winter."

Sister-in-law Yan pushed Uncle Yan out of the room and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you."

When I was really sleepy, someone handed me a pillow. I was still thinking about how to persuade my family to go to the mountain with me, and now my problem is solved!

Mrs. Yan held Yan Nansheng up and weighed him.

"It's just around the foot of the mountain, halfway up the mountain at most. It's not deep in the mountains. There are a lot of people there, so there shouldn't be any danger."

These words were directed to Second Uncle Yan.

Ever since the Yan family went into the mountains, many of them died or became disabled, and they have never gone back into the mountains again. Sister-in-law Yan was afraid that her second uncle would mind.

But the family did not have enough money to last until winter.

Before winter comes in Jiuyou Prefecture, food must be prepared and houses repaired in advance.

Otherwise, people will die after the heavy snow!

"I want to go too, aunt. Sheng'er wants to go too."

Yan Nansheng hugged Mrs. Yan's neck and rubbed it hard with his furry head.

"Sheng'er, stop messing around and come down quickly. Your aunt is tired of carrying you."

Yuanniang was afraid that her fat daughter would break her sister-in-law's arm.

Maybe he remembered that when he was three years old, he easily broke a stone from the neighbor's wall.

Yan Nansheng quickly let go of his aunt's neck and rubbed it gently.

When he was three years old, Yan Nansheng discovered that his mental and supernatural powers had been restored.

She thought for a moment, then whispered into Sister Yan's ear, "Aunt, I saw a huge Ganoderma lucidum on the mountain before. Let's go pick it."

"This way I can have money to buy medicine for my grandmother."

Looking at her soft niece in her arms, Sister Yan's eyes were filled with soreness.

My mother-in-law has been coughing intermittently since last year. I went to see a doctor, who said it was a cough and that she needed to take medicine to slowly treat it.

But a few days ago, the family’s savings were running low, so my mother-in-law stopped giving me the medicine, saying that I was already well.

But I could still hear my mother-in-law's suppressed coughing at night.

Sister-in-law Yan held back her tears and said, "Okay, Auntie, take Sheng'er with you."
