The Spring Examination is coming soon, and Shen Lao San and Shen Lao Tou and others are preparing to go to the capital to take part in the Spring Examination.

The whole family sat together to discuss which members of the family would go to the capital and which would stay at home.

Old Lady Shen said, "I won't go, Zhuzhu, you and Baoer will go to the capital with me."

"When you go there, you can take care of your father and grandfather, and you can also see what can be developed in the capital."

Old Man Shen agreed and said:

"Well, Zhuzhu can go to the capital. Mingshu, are you going to the academy or studying with Master Wang?"

Shen Mingshu said: "Mr. Wang asked me to go to the capital with you. He gave me a letter of recommendation for me to study at the Imperial Academy."

"What? A letter of recommendation from the Imperial College? Mr. Wang was able to get a letter of recommendation from the Imperial College?"

Old man Shen was so surprised that he almost couldn't sit still. He said to Shen Mingshu anxiously:

"Show me the recommendation letter."

Shen Mingshu took out a letter of recommendation from his sleeve and handed it to Old Man Shen.

Old Man Shen carefully opened the letter of recommendation and opened his mouth in surprise when he saw Wang Zhishan’s name at the end of the letter.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he asked Shen Mingshu in shock: "Master Wang is called Wang Zhishan? Is he the imperial tutor Wang Zhishan?"

Old man Shen stared at Shen Mingshu in disbelief. The old man who was snatching the wine from him turned out to be the famous imperial teacher, the one whom even the emperor had to respectfully call his teacher, the great scholar Wang Zhishan.

Shen Mingshu pretended not to understand his grandfather's excitement and said sinisterly:

"It's the Imperial Master Wang Zhishan. Didn't you often snatch the wine brewed by Zhuzhu from him? What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Old Man Shen's face flushed with excitement. He covered his pounding heart and exclaimed in surprise:

"He is the great scholar whom I admire! He is the great scholar respected by the entire literary world!"

"What did I do? I actually snatched wine from the great scholar whom I admire the most?"

"No, Mingshu actually became the emperor's junior brother?"

The old man felt that he was a little overwhelmed. Then, he thought of something and asked Shen Mingzhu:

"So, Wang Mang and Saint Aunt are not ordinary people either?"

Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes and said bluntly: "Didn't you guess it a long time ago?"

During this period, she gave her family members IQ-enhancing pills and EQ-enhancing pills, and everyone in her family became much smarter.

Especially the old man, his IQ improved the fastest.

The old man calmed down his excitement and asked Shen Mingyu excitedly:

"What about Mingyu? Did your master say anything?"

Shen Mingyu learned martial arts from Ouyang Yunhai, and would attend Mr. Wang's cultural classes every day with Shen Mingzhu.

Mr. Wang not only taught Shen Mingshu and Wang Mang the Four Books and Five Classics, but also taught them military tactics and strategies, etc., which benefited Shen Mingyu, who was listening, a lot and he learned a lot of knowledge.

Shen Mingyu raised his chin and said happily: "Master asked me to go to the capital to broaden my horizons. I want to go to the capital with you too."

Old man Shen was annoyed. Now all the children from the three branches had to go to the capital.

Especially Shen Mingyu, this little bully and naughty boy, who knows what kind of trouble he will cause in the future.

Old Man Shen thought about it and made a final summary:

"In that case, the whole family of the third branch will follow you to the capital."

He looked at Shen Mingbao again, who was looking at him expectantly, and continued:

"Mingbao will also follow the third house to the capital. If we are in the capital, you will study in the academy in the capital."

Afraid that others might not understand, Old Man Shen explained:

"The first reason why children go to school in big cities is that the teaching staff and teaching quality are better in big cities."

"Also, there are connections. You went to school in Beijing when you were young, so you will be exposed to connections in Beijing in the future. It is many times better than going to school in our county."

Shen Mingzhu nodded in agreement. It must be said that the old man has a much longer-term vision since he took the IQ-enhancing pills.

The family settled down and started to prepare and tidy up.

Shen Mingzhu arranged the family affairs. The two docks in the family were managed by the two sons of the village chief and his second and third uncles from his grandfather's family.

The two farmhouses are managed by two cousins ​​from my grandfather's family, while the breeding farm and factory are managed by my cousins ​​Shen Mingshan and Zhong.

The tea mountain, medicinal herb mountain and ash mountain were handed over to my second uncle Shen Laoer for management.

Two days ago, her master, Saint Aunt, saw that she was short of a few people, so she sent her two accountants, a manager, and two assistant managers.

Now, her industries are developing faster under the management of professionals.

With these people, Shen Mingzhu feels much more relaxed and is no longer as busy as before.

The yard that her family rebuilt for her has been completed.

Her father built a backyard for her behind the third branch of the Shen family, and bought a piece of land next to it, and built a three-story mansion specifically for her.

The first entrance of Xiangjun Mansion is where Shen Mingzhu entertains guests and holds meetings. The side rooms on both sides of the front yard are where the management staff of Xiangjun Mansion live.

The main house in the middle of the second courtyard of Xiangjun Mansion is where Shen Mingzhu usually works, and the side rooms are guest rooms for entertaining guests.

The two-story main building in the third backyard is the living room and study where Shen Mingzhu lives alone. The side rooms are the rooms for the housekeeper and maids.

Usually Shen Mingzhu still lives in the newly built backyard of the old Shen family, and occasionally goes to the Xiangjun Mansion to stay for two days.

Thanks to the road built by Shen Mingzhu, everyone in Shenjia Village had a job and the entire Shenjia Village developed rapidly.

Shen Mingzhu’s Xiangjun Mansion is also very beautiful. The beautiful and spacious Xiangjun Mansion adds a touch of color to Shenjia Village.

Now Shenjia Village is no longer just a village for growing crops. With the main roads and ports, Shenjia Village has also developed businesses such as restaurants and commerce.

The people coming and going in the village and the boats coming and going on the river make Shenjia Village look prosperous.

Although Dashan Village was not as prosperous as Shenjia Village, it also began to prosper thanks to Shen Mingzhu.

People in both villages were very grateful to Shen Mingzhu. After water wheels and rice threshers and other agricultural tools were put into use, the entire county became prosperous, and everyone was very grateful to Shen Mingzhu.

All of a sudden, the streets and alleys of the county were filled with songs about Mingzhu Xiangjun, and Shen Mingzhu's name gradually spread to the provincial capital.

When the prefect of the provincial capital heard about the development of Wuxi County, he was so angry that he wanted to bring Zhang Guanghua and Shen Mingzhu over and chop them into pieces.

His eyes were as fierce as an eagle's, and he said to his staff angrily:

"Shen Ruhai is very capable, right? He has a pair of smart children, right?"

"Humph! Mingzhu Xiangjun, what a shitty Xiangjun. Don't think it's great that the emperor has conferred a title of Xiangjun on you."

The prefect was furious: "What a bunch of bastards they are! They actually dared to bypass me and directly submit a petition to the capital to disrupt the Grand Tutor's plan. They are really tired of living."

The prefect vented his anger and asked his staff, "Are Shen Ruhai and his son going to participate in this year's spring examination?"

The staff said yes.

The prefect looked fierce and said in a dark tone:

"In that case, I will make sure they don't make it to the capital."

Shen Mingzhu's family had no idea that their family was being hated and plotted against, so they set out from Shenjia Village a month in advance and headed for the capital.

Shen Mingzhu didn't bring much home this time. She put some of Su's exquisite embroidery into the space.

He also put all the valuable items in the house, such as house deeds, land deeds, silver, banknotes, etc. into the space.

Shen Mingzhu felt that no matter where these valuables were placed, they would not be as safe as her system space.

On this day, Shen Mingzhu and her family went to the capital city with the farewell of the whole village.

Shen Mingzhu looked at the village gradually disappearing into the distance, her heart full of hope. She didn't know what would happen in the future, but she was confident that she could take every step carefully.
