Troubled Times Survival Raiders

Although Shen Yu's annual leave is not as luxurious as Wu Junyi's, it is also very fulfilling.Since childhood, the gentlemen and their students from other places were about to leave for home, and their students in the capital took advantage of it, followed by a holiday, so they could go home early for reunion.

After the holiday, the first thing Shen Yu did was to go to the Song Mansion with his father to visit his bedridden grandfather.

Although the Song family also went south in a hurry, these officials moved with the emperor, and after entering the southern capital, they also allocated their own houses.Although they are not too far apart, they look more grand than the Shen family.

When Song Cangshan was old and bedridden, what he missed most was his married daughter.Although I can't see my daughter for the time being, I have seen my clever and lovely grandson, and I heard that my grandson has already entered the country to study. What more surprises can there be?

The old man stretched out a skinny hand from the quilt, tightly grasped Shen Yu's bony little hand, and called Er Niang and Yu Lang back and forth with tears in his eyes.

Shen Yu also responded patiently, calling her grandfather one after another.Hearing the childish voice, two turbid tears rolled down the old man's cheeks.

Shen He also leaned over to salute, one bite at a time, Mr. Taishan, personally attending to the sickness, feeding medicine and rubbing his body.Seeing this, Song Zitao let go of his younger sister's life.

Mrs. Song especially loved Shen Yu, who was sensible and assertive, and she even let him live in the Song residence for a day or two.Song Hong was a little uncomfortable with this elder brother who was able to memorize scriptures, studied in Chinese, and won unanimous praise from his parents.

Shen Yu experienced the cold reception of the students of the Imperial College, and she didn't care much about this childish awkwardness, so she just laughed it off.He was thinking about what Zan Yuan said, and he really felt that his body was a little thin, so he specifically asked his cousin how to exercise his wrist strength.

When Song Hong heard that this cousin was not omnipotent, he would ask himself questions kindly, and happily taught him all the training methods, wishing to drag Shen Yu to practice martial arts with him every day, that was a bit awkward Thoughts have flown without a trace.

Shen Yue and Song Jiao became boudoir close friends.Their young lady, who was about the same age, originally had endless conversations, and because of the festival, the two families moved around, and spent more time together, chatting all day long.Shen Yue finally became a little more cheerful.

Song Jiao had quite a few handkerchiefs in the capital, she chose those who were mild in temperament and not too noble, and introduced them to Shen Yue one by one.

The two of them were led by Song Zitao's wife to visit the Guo family. Guo Xin had long been looking forward to meeting the talented Shen Yu's younger sister whom his brother had mentioned.Shen Yue was also very grateful to Guo Lang who helped her choose books.The two hit it off.And Song Jiao and Guo Xin knew each other from the beginning, they had mutual friends, and their relationship became a little closer.

Song Zixi and his wife rushed back before New Year's Eve, and the Song family was able to reunite.Song Cangshan's sons and grandsons circled their knees, their wishes came true one by one, and they were in a good mood. As the weather warmed up, their health gradually improved, and they could walk a few steps slowly on the ground, which also let his younger generations put aside their worries.

Because Song Jiao is old, she should also restrain her temper.It was rare that Song Zixi and his wife were at home, so they specially decided to invite a female teacher for her. After reporting to both parents and getting permission from the husband, Shen Yue was able to come and study with her partner.No matter how boring things are, it is much better to have someone to accompany you to learn.

The family was harmonious, and even Shen Tai just avoided it deliberately, and did not take the initiative to provoke conflicts.Shen Yu smiled more and more.After the Lantern Festival, the Guozijian started school. While Shen Yu was busy, she found another interesting thing for herself: after spring, farmers will start farming.

Shen Yu grew up among the ridges of the fields, and is much more familiar with farming and farming than ordinary scholars.When he was in the countryside, he often consulted the villagers about the usage of various farm tools and made improvements according to his ideas.

The Shen family also purchased more than ten acres of land for rent.Shen Yu found an excuse to go with Shen He, and saw the scene of planting rice seedlings at the Zhuanghumen:

When you come to the south, the customs in the north are different everywhere.Farmers mostly grow rice, but transplanting rice seedlings in spring takes extra effort. Farmers roll up their trouser legs and sleeves, and they have to hook their bodies from time to time.

This is not only tiring, but also inefficient: skilled farmers can only plant one acre of land in a day.And that doesn't even take into account whether you can still complete the task the next day because of soreness and exhaustion.

Can you design some agricultural tools to save this unnecessary hard work?

Years ago, Shen Yu and the others had already learned the Shiwen system and formally practiced writing.After the new year, Shen Yu chose "Shangshu" as the scripture.After the article is proficient, their group of students can end.

Shen Yu still made it a daily rule for herself to write ten essays, recite ten essays each, and ten essays each in ancient essays. She also had to review scriptures and read history books.In addition to being so busy, if he observes the farmers' cultivation and tries to design farm tools every now and then, it will inevitably occupy his rest time.

Shen Mu also maintained the habit of spot-checking his children and grandchildren's studies. He couldn't help noticing that Shen Yu's expression was sleepy. He frowned and asked with concern: "What's wrong with Yu Lang recently? But what's wrong with your body? Bring me your wrist and ask me to touch it." Take a look."

"Grandfather, don't worry, grandson just hasn't had a good rest at night recently." Shen Yu was afraid that his grandfather would see the clue, so he took a breath to refresh himself, and replied pretending nothing happened.

Shen Mu frowned even tighter. "Your son is ignorant, and you don't understand the importance of your body. You won't be able to sleep at my age! You can't sleep well at night, and there is also a root cause of the disease. Since you don't want me to see it, quickly call a doctor to come and take it for you. Take your pulse."

Shen Yu had no choice but to admit with a wry smile, "Grandson really just got busy during the day and missed his rest, so don't bother Lang Zhong to make a trip."

"What are you busy with? I've read all the homework recently. Could it be that you have practiced more?" Shen Muzheng was wondering, and suddenly thought of something, and asked in a cold voice: "I heard that Da Lang took you to the village, did you Are you hanging out with the farmer again?"

Shen Yu didn't want to lie to her grandfather, so she kept silent.

Seeing that he didn't refute, Shen Mu was so angry that he didn't choose what to say, and blurted out the scolding words: "You have been favored by the emperor, and you are also a student of the Imperial Academy. If you don't think about how to make progress, it's fine. , mingling with peasants all day long, it is really a waste of face for scholars!"

Shen Yu was also sore and bitter in her heart.He felt that what his grandfather said was not right, but he couldn't refute his grandfather, so he could only hold back all his words and grievances.

"In the past, it was just because you were young and ignorant, but you were confused when you entered the school! Which scientific examination officer doesn't look at the reputation of the students? You have ruined your reputation now, what will you do in the future?" Shen Mu was angry and anxious, annoyed and Sorrow lingers in my heart.

After all, Shen Yu is a teenager at heart, and after holding it for a while, she couldn't help but want to refute: "Those farmers planting seedlings are really hard..."

"They work hard, why are you joining in the fun? You, you really want to piss me off!"

Shen Mu couldn't say a word, and coughed suddenly, earth-shattering.Shen Yu went up to pat him on the back, but he stroked his chest, then suddenly raised his head, and there was an ah in his throat, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.Seeing the bright red on the ground, Shen Yu's heart was in a mess. "grandfather!"

Shen He didn't know when he came to the door, and suddenly pushed the door open and barged in, saying, "Da Lang! Didn't you see that grandfather was unwell? Hurry up and get back and call the doctor!"

Shen Yu was so upset that she ran out quickly, calling for the servants several times, telling someone to call the doctor over.The two uncles were not at home, so he also sent someone to look for them.

When the doctor came, Shen Mu was already lying on the bed with all his clothes on. He had just poured down a bowl of ginseng soup, and he was still wheezing in his throat.Shen He stood aside, helping his father straighten the quilt.Shen Rong and Shen Tai also hurried back, asking what happened.

Shen Yu didn't care about talking, wiped her face, and asked the doctor to take a look.The doctor carefully lifted the quilt, took Shen Mu's pulse, called Shen and his brothers aside, said a few words, and wrote a prescription.Shen He asked someone to grab the prescription and send the doctor out with the reward.

"I... my grandson knew my mistake, and my grandson will definitely learn from it," Shen Yu knelt on the bedside with tears in his eyes, assuring his dying grandfather.

Shen Mu couldn't speak, he could only open his eyes with difficulty, and stared lovingly and sternly at the grandson he cared about the most.

Shen He turned around and ordered his younger brothers to order people to decoct medicine and make soup, but he called Shen Yu outside the door alone.Shen Yu never felt that his father was so tall, no, he never felt that he was so short.

"The doctor said that my father was old, his body was already weak, and he was overwhelmed, and he was angry and angry, so he vomited blood." Shen He said slowly.

Shen Yu felt ashamed in her heart, and she even lowered her head and burst into tears when she heard the words. "My son is wrong." He has become such an unfilial person, he really doesn't know how to face his grandfather again.

Shen He's tone remained steady, without any trace of anger. "What did you do wrong?"

"I..." Shen Yu couldn't say it.He felt ashamed and bitter.But he still doesn't quite agree with his grandfather.He...Although he feels guilty, but he asks himself, he doesn't think it's wrong to want to help those farmers.

But he was still wrong. It was him who made his grandfather fall ill and vomit blood.He's a sinner, he shouldn't have handled this well.

Shen Yu had a thousand words in his heart.It's just that he couldn't say these words anyway.

"Didn't it be your fault to delay the rest, cause grandfather to worry, and even contradict grandfather, making grandfather angry." Shen He suddenly said what was in his heart.

Shen Yu suddenly raised her head in shock, but met Shen He's calm eyes.Shen He said softly: "Father is getting old, he needs to rest, and can't get angry easily, do you understand?"

Shen Yu had no choice but to hold back tears and nod, "My son understands." But he was still somewhat aggrieved. He didn't expect his father to reprimand him—the father always spoke little and didn't control him much, let alone praise him.It's rare to say so much to reprimand him.

Unexpectedly, Shen He hadn't finished speaking. "You concentrate on your studies on weekdays. I believe you know this well. Father is naturally happy to see you succeed in your studies. As for other things, don't Chinese studies also have a break?"

"What does father mean...?" Shen Yu couldn't believe her ears, and still hesitated to ask.

Those eyes were still calm, but there was a genuine smile in them. "Since you didn't do anything wrong, just pay attention to the method and just keep going."
