Troubled Times Survival Raiders

Guo Yi told Shen Yu in detail the daily arrangement of the Imperial College, the assignment of lecturers in each room of the Five Classics, the personality preferences of the teaching assistants, and the things to pay attention to, and then hurried back to the corridor room with him.

Generally speaking, the curriculum arrangement of Chinese studies is not too stressful for Shen Yu. He listens to the lecturer in the front lecture hall every three days, selects students to give lectures on the fifth day, checks and recites randomly on the tenth day, takes a bath on the fifteenth day, and the rest of the time is taught by the teaching assistants. Classes are taught.In addition, there are ten temporary posts and one essay every day.If the homework is not handed in, or the lecture is messy, or the back is unqualified, it will be handed over to the supervisor.It all depends on Jian Cheng's mood whether to beat the hand or have a big butt.

Shen Yu swore secretly that even if she couldn't win the top spot, she must not lose face.

I don't know what Li Ting was persuaded by others, or maybe he finally lost interest. When Shen Yu returned to the corridor, Li Ting didn't make things difficult for him anymore, and the rest of the time went smoothly to listen to the assistant professor's lectures and temporary posts. passed.

Shen Yu hurried home after school.When I got home, I felt a strange and oppressive atmosphere, and the servants who cleaned the courtyard didn't dare to speak.Shen Yu paused, then walked towards the grandfather's house.

Shen Mu lives in the main house.He was getting old, and because of going south to suffer, his children and grandchildren would not agree with him to go out to find a job and become a teacher again, so he usually read at home, instructed the servants to work, or taught Shen Qi to read.

However, Shen Qi wasn't here today, and Shen Mu didn't read the book either.He was sitting on a bamboo chair with his hands hanging on his lap, staring blankly into the distance, his white beard blown by the wind that slipped in through the window.

Seeing it in Shen Yu's eyes, there was a slight sadness in her heart, which was quickly replaced by a trembling.He suppressed his emotions and went up to greet him, "Grandfather, grandson has returned from the Imperial College."

Shen Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and showed a real smile to Shen Yu, "Yu Lang, how are you doing at the Imperial College today?"

The masters of Guozijian are naturally not comparable to ordinary scholars. They quote and explain extensively during lectures.Shen Yu hadn't even heard the titles of many of the books they quoted, and only had time to jot down the titles and the beginning and end of sentences.The more he listened carefully, the more he discovered his ignorance.

But Shen Yu's first enlightenment teacher was his grandfather. In front of his grandfather, he couldn't say that. He could only answer: "Everything is fine, and my husband is also knowledgeable. It's just that compared with his classmates, my grandson is inevitably lacking."

"It's good if you know how to make progress." Shen Mu nodded, without asking in detail, and even enlightened him a few words. "There's nothing to be afraid of. There are quite a few common people who have studied in China. You are no worse than others."

Shen Yu watched his grandfather's face turn pale, and he hesitated several times with words of concern, but he still didn't say it. Just when he was about to run away, Shen Mu said: "Today, I called your third uncle and said that I want Da Lang , Erlang's wife, to give him a look at a girl from a nearby family, it doesn't have to be a wealthy family, just a good temper and good appearance."

Shen Yu remained silent, already guessing what would happen next.

"Who knew that he was furious and went back on the spot." When Shen Mu said this, he couldn't help getting angry again, and his voice raised, "I am his father, for his own good, isn't it wrong?!"

Shen Yu had no choice but to say: "Third Uncle probably doesn't want to continue for the time being."

"Don't I know? But no matter how good the Shi family is, he has already gone. How can he never marry again? Qi Lang is only four years old, a boy, how can he raise children?" Shen Mu got angry and sighed again.

As a junior, Shen Yu couldn't tell anyone's fault, so she could only mumble a few words of comfort to her grandfather before turning back to her parents' room.

Mrs. Song was also talking to Shen He, "Although my father said something first, but looking at it, my uncle doesn't seem to be willing to continue. On the contrary, we are caught in the middle, and the left and right are not."

"Since father wants you to see each other, you should pay attention to it. As for whether to marry or not, it is up to Saburo to decide." This is Shen He's voice.It seemed that he didn't know about the quarrel between his grandfather and third uncle.

"Father, mother." Shen Yu saluted her parents.Hearing the conversation between the two, he simply told what he saw back home. "Just now when I went to say hello to my grandfather, I heard..."

Shen He rubbed his brows, looking puzzled. "Sanlang is too reckless, it's fine if he doesn't want to continue to return to his father, why bother to quarrel with his father again, it's so reckless."

Shen He got up, and Song Shi also stood up, "What are you doing?"

"Go and persuade Saburo." Shen He replied.

Song's fingers were twisted together, and her face was full of sadness, "Uncle has complained to you before, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire if you go at this time?"

"That can't let him do whatever he wants." Shen He left this sentence, turned around and left.

Shen Yu had no choice but to stay, and talked to his mother in a polite manner, telling some about the experience of the Imperial College.Song was worried about her husband, so she listened absent-mindedly, Shen Yu didn't stay long, and went to the second uncle and second sister-in-law's room, his intuition told him that Shen Qi was probably there.

Erlang Shen Rong and Sanlang Shen Tai's house is next to each other, when he walked over, he heard third uncle's furious voice: "If elder brother is a lobbyist for father, there is no need for it!"

Shen Yu secretly sighed in her heart. They all knew that Uncle San had a thorn in his heart, but the person who could remove the thorn had already gone.He just pretended not to hear, opened the curtain and went in to say hello to his second uncle and aunt.

Shen Rong leaned on the chair, his face was pale, he looked a bit sick, Lu Shi whispered something beside him.Sure enough, Shen Qi was there, Shen Yue coaxed him to play with the book.Seeing Shen Yu approaching, Shen Qi happily trotted all the way, rushed over and hugged his waist, "Big Brother, come and study, Second Sister can only read "Book of Filial Piety", I have heard it many times!"

Shen Yue rolled her eyes and didn't want to talk to him.Shen Yu was thoughtful.Shen Yue didn't have many books by her side, most of them were left by her second uncle during his early imperial examinations.He still has some spare money on hand, so he might as well bring her some travel notes and leisure books later.

Looking at the affectionate little children, Lu patted her husband's shoulder in relief, but Shen Rong's was still pale and melancholy.

During dinner, the atmosphere on the table was tense, and the family seemed to be separated by the Chu River and the Han Dynasty.

Shen Tai didn't look at his father, nor at his elder brother and nephew, he ate with his head down, even his son didn't pay much attention to him.The Lu family was far away, and Shen Yu silently picked up food for his younger brother.

"Who are you showing that face to!" Shen Mu's anger was aroused again.

Shen Tai put down his chopsticks, and his eyes were red when he raised his head, "Father only thinks about elder brother's grievances, why didn't he think about his son and Qi Lang?"

Shen Mu also put down the bowl and chopsticks heavily. "I didn't think about you? If it wasn't for your father, I wouldn't care about whether you continued or not! Look at you, you haven't even passed the exam for a scholar. It's not your sister-in-law who made a face for you. Which good girl is willing to give it to you? Continuation!"

Shen Qi is only four years old, but he is already very sensitive to words like continuation.Hearing this, he immediately raised his head and looked at Shen Tai tremblingly. "Father……"

Shen Tai turned around and left.

"You come back to me!"

Shen Mu was so angry that he pounded the table, and the female relatives didn't dare to make a sound.Shen Rong looked at the bowl in front of him, his expression blank.

Shen Yu finally couldn't help but put down the chopsticks gently, and said slowly: "Grandfather, third uncle is too sad, he doesn't want to continue, but there is no need to be in a hurry..."

"Bojin, shut up, it's none of your business!"

Shen Yu turned her head and asked: "Sanlang, are you full? My brother will teach you how to write." Shen Qi quickly threw herself into his arms, took his hand and walked away with him.

After returning to the room, Shen He still complained to him a few words: "Father is angry, how can you preach to the elders? This matter is always Saburo's fault. If the father is angry, wouldn't it make him make more mistakes?" wrong?"

Shen Yu taught Shen Qi to trace the scarlet letters of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith without saying a word.

Not to mention what happened to Dalang Shen and there, Erlang Shentai's room was also in chaos.

"Why didn't father say a word at the table?" Shen Yue blurted out as soon as she returned to the room.

After Shen Jin's death, Shen Rong only had this jewel in his palm.Shen Yue's personality is like her mother Lu's, she is very assertive, the husband and wife also intend to raise the eldest daughter, and they don't restrain her too much.Shen Rong would be listless, but he still managed to pull himself together, and answered his daughter seriously: "In this matter, Yu Qing's father should not force San Lang to continue, and Yu Li San Lang should not contradict his father. The eldest brother naturally obeys his father, but I don't know what to say , it’s better not to say it.”

"If my father just doesn't talk about this matter, that's fine. I'm afraid my father doesn't want to talk at all."

Shen Rong raised his voice as if being poked into a sore spot, "Yue Niang, what do you mean by that?"

But Shen Yue avoided talking about it, and continued to talk about Shen Tai: "Third Uncle is probably not angry with Uncle and Da Lang, but jealous."

This time not only Shen Rong frowned, but Lu Shi also scolded lightly: "How can you talk to the elders!"

"Daughter knows that this remark is beyond the reach, but when I said this behind closed doors, my parents asked themselves, isn't it true? The reason why the third uncle and grandfather contradicted each other was also because he felt that the grandfather favored the uncle and the man."

This is the fact, Shen Rong and his wife couldn't stop their daughter, so they could only keep silent.

Shen Yue continued: "Da Lang is talented and intelligent, he is not something in the pool, and now he is studying in Chinese culture, he has a bright future. What's more, Da Lang is kind-hearted, under such circumstances today, he can still coax Saburo. If the third uncle is alienated because of jealousy They, on the contrary, lost more than they gained. In terms of emotion and reason, father should persuade third uncle."

"I don't know." Shen Rong also had mixed feelings in his heart when he heard his daughter praising his elder brother and nephew.But Shen Yue changed the topic: "But father is not bad, doesn't father also have a reputation as a scholar, he can step into an official career if he goes further."

Guessing what her daughter was going to say, Mrs. Lu quietly pinched her sleeves and looked at her husband's expression.But Shen Rong hesitated for a while, and then said dejectedly: "I've been delayed, and I don't have a famous teacher, how can I compare with elder brother and Yu Lang."

"What's the delay? My father is only in his thirties, and he still went to the scientific examination in his sixtieth year. What's more, the uncle is in the middle school. Doesn't it seem that he is relying on his grandfather's teaching and studying hard by himself?" Shen Yue pressed on step by step, Shen Rong lowered his gaze, I dare not look at my daughter again.

There were tears in Shen Yue's eyes, and she suppressed her crying. "Father really thinks that I don't know. After Jin Lang left, did your heart die? Naturally, my brother is gone, and I feel very distressed, but the Shen family's family has to be supported. I am just a girl. I have no brothers to help me, and no father." Asylum, what can I do by myself? If my father is depressed, who will offer incense to my younger brother in the future?"

As a daughter, even if she had insight early, she could only pretend not to know, and secretly prayed for her father to wake up as soon as possible.But Shen Rong's numbness day after day, and the dust accumulated on the books at home made her unable to bear it anymore.

Shen Yue endured until her nose got sore, but tears still flowed out, blurring her vision, she didn't dare to look at her father and mother's reaction, for fear of meeting the anger of third uncle and grandfather at the dinner table.Shen Rong raised his head slowly, and said: "I have read the books of sages for so many years, but I can't read them as clearly as you. I am really a man in vain."

Shen Yue covered her mouth and burst into tears.Shen Rong hurriedly took out his handkerchief, "Why is Yue Niang crying? How old are you..."

In fact, Mrs. Lu has always been worried about her husband, and she couldn't help crying when she mentioned her youngest son who died young. Now that her daughter enlightened her husband, she also wept with joy, and rushed to hug her daughter. "I will persuade Saburo. And from today on, I will study hard so that you two will not suffer with me, okay?"

"Father said that it is better to endure hardships than to suffer hardships. A harmonious family is better than anything else." Shen Yue laughed with tears in her eyes, her voice was still trembling.Lu shi covered her mouth and nodded, unable to speak for a long time.
