After farming, I opened a family tree

He still asked Chen Hao to accompany him back.

But this time, it was Shen Wen lying on the ox cart.

Shen Tang and others helped Madam Xiang clean up the shop, and the students who were used as tools also apologized.

As for those students, they were all children from families with some financial resources in the town.

The family members came early with money to pay compensation.

"This time, Tangji's reputation has spread."

Madam Xiang spoke with a smile.

"Yeah, I was originally worried about how to make Tangji well-known, but I didn't expect this."

Unexpectedly, Shen Wen actually came to her door on her own initiative, and just happened to allow her to solve the sticky problem of the second branch of the Shen family.

"It's just a pity about that poetry collection."

Madam Xiang felt sorry.

Shen Tang shook his head.

“This is the value of the poetry collection.”

In this era, anything elegant will not be cheap.

What's more, Xiang Zao also brought out a collection of poems. I'm afraid that now not only everyone in Qingshan Town knows about Tang Ji.

And she was also listed among the county magistrates.

-

Shenjia Village.

When Chen Hao brought the second branch of the Shen family to the village, the whole village came.

The most studious young man in the village was now lying on the ox cart like a dead fish.

Wang, who used to look down on everyone, burst into tears.

When Old Lady Shen and Shen Tao came out, they saw this scene and their eyes went dark.

"Are you Mrs. Shen?"

"This is the letter of severance written by the magistrate himself. From now on, your second branch has severed all ties with the first branch."

"Here is one hundred taels of silver, which is the pension given to you by the eldest wife for eight years and four months."

As Chen Hao spoke, he handed the banknote to Old Lady Shen.

When Old Mrs. Shen heard the letter of breaking off the engagement, she almost fainted.

But when she heard the one hundred taels, Old Mrs. Shen felt like she was alive again.

Chen Hao spoke loudly, and everyone around him could hear him clearly.

"The letter of severance! From now on, Shen Dahe's family and Dashan will have no relationship at all."

"How did these two brothers get to this point?"

"The lifeblood of the Dahe family is like this, something serious must have happened."

"If you ask me, no matter how big the matter is, we are still brothers."

"Also, Shen Wen of the Shen family has been banned from taking the imperial examinations for ten years for being unfilial and unrighteous. Your Excellency hopes that everyone in Shenjia Village will take this as a warning."

Having said this, he rode away without looking back, nor caring about the uproar of the crowd behind him.

Shen Dahe and Wang were so ashamed and angry at the looks from the people around them that they hurriedly carried Shen Wen into the yard.

"Mom, please call a doctor! Awen's body can't handle it!"

"Yes, mother, although Awen made mistakes, he is still the eldest grandson in the family."

Old Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Wen,

"Look at you, why don't you do something else? Why do you have to provoke the Dafang family?"

How can she continue to be a feudal lord when her eldest grandson can no longer take the imperial examination?

Even if Shen Wen passes the exam ten years later, she may not be there by then!

"Don't you know that your family has been struggling to support your education these years?"

"Since you can't study anymore, just find a barefoot doctor. When you're well again, it'll be spring planting time, so Dahe, take him there to plant."

Old Mrs. Shen raised her eyelids and turned to go into the house.

This one hundred taels is her coffin money, so she must hide it well.

"Mom, Awen is your most beloved grandson!"

Wang cried out heartbreakingly, wondering how her mother-in-law could be so cold and indifferent.

"Dahe, please beg your mother, please beg your mother!"

Shen Dashan sat on the stone bench without saying a word.

"Speak up, Shen Dahe, speak up."

"Mom, stop shouting." Shen Wen said weakly.

What else is there to not understand? It's just that he has lost his value now and is just a discarded pawn.

"How could they do this? How could they do this?"

Wang hugged Shen Wen in pain.

Shen Tao and Shen Wu had never seen such a scene before, so they stood in the corner and dared not say a word.

Shen Wen lay on the board, suppressing the bitterness and unwillingness in his heart.

The pain from his buttocks told him that he was really finished.

Shen Tang, it’s all Shen Tang’s fault!

Why would a girl set up a workshop? Why not give him the collection of poems?

He is the male of the family and the eldest grandson of the Shen family, so why not give it to him? With this collection of poems, the Shen family's reputation will definitely be boosted, and he will not treat Shen Tang unfairly.

Shen Wen lowered his head, his eyes bloodshot.

Shen Tang and his family helped to clean up the shop.

After the shop was smashed, the remaining stock was gone.

Madam Xiang sent someone to take Shen Tang and his family back in a carriage and pick up some goods.

"Since this collection of poems has already been published, there is no need for us to publish poems anymore."

When Xiang Niang was about to leave, Shen Tang gave her instructions.

When Shen Tang and his companions arrived home, they found that the village head and clan elders were already waiting at the door.

"If you are here to criticize our family for breaking off the engagement, please go back. This is the document from the county magistrate. If you have any complaints, please go to the county government office and see the county magistrate."

"Besides, my family has never done anything wrong. Don't think that we are easy to talk to just because we are honest people."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across the faces of several people.

After all, in this area, no one has ever severed ties with their family. If the family is not harmonious, it will be a disgrace to Shenjia Village if this gets out.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the courtyard and before he could even open his mouth, he was blocked by Shen Dashan and his wife.

It was the village head who broke the deadlock.

"That's not true. Shen Wen is unfilial and unrighteous. Although we don't know what happened, the county magistrate must be very perceptive. We are here because your family line has been severed. In the family tree, you and Dahe will have separate branches."

Shen Dahe nodded and said that it should be so.

The head of the village sighed. The Dashan family only had one daughter, Shen Tang, so they had no descendants.

Since ancient times, daughters have not been included in their own family tree, but only in the husband's family tree. In the husband's family, only the surname is recorded, not the given name.

They chatted for a while, and when it was getting dark, the village head was ready to leave.

Mrs. Liu is not at home today, so Shen Qingqing prepared dinner.

"Cousin, you really scared me to death today."

"Wanwan was amazing today!"

Shen Tang spoke from the heart, she had modern experience, but Qin Wanwan was still an eleven-year-old girl. It was rare that she was not afraid when standing in the court with her.

Shen Dashan and his wife were quite frightened today. Their daughter was first taken away by the yamen runners and then met the county magistrate.

Only when I sit at home can I feel at ease.

"It's good that we've severed the relationship. It's been our eldest family that has suffered losses over the years."

"After Tangtang's workshop was established, I saw the second branch wandering outside the courtyard many times. Now the problem has finally been solved."

Liu heated a pot of wine and poured it for Shen Dashan while speaking.

"As for your mother, now that she has this one hundred taels of silver, is she still worried that the Wang family of Dahe will not treat them well?"

One hundred taels of silver. If Old Lady Shen is willing to share, the four male members of the Shen family can live a comfortable life if they work hard.

But Mrs. Shen may not agree.
