Sheng Hong came and went in a hurry. After announcing the punishment to Lin Sushuang, he took away the key to the house and left without looking back.
It's not that he doesn't want to teach Lin Sushuang a few more words, but he's afraid that if he stays any longer, the bones of justice and clarity he finally picked up will be softened by Lin Sushuang's tenderness and affection again.
Lin Sushuang received Sheng Hong's punishment and her power as a housekeeper was taken away. Before she could let Sheng Hong stay for the night, she was feeling very upset when she suddenly saw her unsatisfactory son running in again. As soon as he entered the door, he He said that he would go to Jiangning Mansion with Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai to participate in the county examination in February.
Lin Sushuang asked him how many days he had not studied to take the county examination. Sheng Changfeng hesitated and refused to tell. Lin Sushuang reached out to pull him, but he actually dodged it.
Only then did Lin Sushuang understand that this little brat was not taking any exams. He was clearly interested in being outsiders and no longer wanted to be with his own mother!
"You unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, get out of here!"
Lin Sushuang was so angry that she broke a tea bowl on the spot. Sheng Changfeng was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she still gritted her teeth, turned around and ran out of the house.
Seeing that Sheng Changfeng was really gone, Lin Sushuang was dumbfounded and quickly asked Zhou Xueniang to lead someone to find him.
In the end, Sheng Changfeng ran to Sheng Changbai's yard. Before Zhou Xueniang could enter, Sheng Changbai stopped her and said that Sheng Changfeng had to concentrate on preparing for the county examination and was staying with him for the past few days. He hoped that people from Lin Qige would not disturb him and made it clear. , this is what Sheng Hong means.
After hearing Zhou Xueniang's report, Lin Sushuang was furious. First she smashed the bottles and cans in the house like a madman, and then she fell to the ground, holding her knees and crying bitterly.
Sheng Molan, who was in the next room, heard the commotion and rushed over. When she saw Lin Sushuang burying her head in tears, she was so shocked that she even dropped the book in her hand to the ground.
"My dear, my dear, what's wrong with you? Mo'er is here, stop crying, stop crying."
Lin Sushuang raised her head and saw the concerned look on her daughter's face, and a warm current surged in her heart.
Only then did she understand what it meant to be a daughter, a caring little cotton-padded jacket for her parents, much better than her brother who didn't recognize his mother after reading some books about saints and sages.
"It's all your fault for your unsatisfactory brother!" Lin Sushuang cursed, and then looked at Sheng Molan and laughed: "Forget it, he left as soon as he left. As long as Mo'er is by my side, my mother will not be sad. ”
"Ah, where did my brother go?" Sheng Molan picked up the book that fell aside and said worriedly: "I haven't returned the poetry collection he gave me yet. There are several poems I like in it that I haven't memorized yet. .”
"It's okay, don't worry about him. Since Mo'er likes it, just keep it and watch it slowly!"
Lin Sushuang smiled and wiped her tears. She took the poem book her daughter was reading and glanced at it twice. She couldn't help but admired: "Don't vomit when you cherish your beautiful heart, and teach peaches and plums to make spring breeze. What a good poem. Who is this master?" Made?"
When I closed the book and took a look, the four characters "Xingyun Poetry Collection" were clearly written on the cover.
"Xingyun, Wei Xingyun?"
Lin Sushuang's eyes widened suddenly, she stared at Sheng Molan and asked, "When did you start reading his poems?"
Sheng Molan had never seen Lin Sushuang show such a terrifying expression before, and said in a trembling voice: "Didn't my mother teach me that my daughter's family should read some poems and verses to cultivate her temperament? Last time, my brother brought this collection of poems, and I read and wrote them. Well done, read it and read it..."
Lin Sushuang panted heavily, gritted her teeth, and her chest heaved violently. It seemed that she was stimulated by her daughter's words, and the resentment she had held in her body suddenly burst out.
"Shut up, you are not allowed to read this person's poetry and articles in the future, do you hear me?"
Lin Sushuang tore the poetry book into pieces and turned to stare at the trembling Sheng Molan beside her with scarlet eyes.
"Wow--"
After all, Sheng Molan was still a child. When she was frightened by Lin Sushuang's fierce eyes, she was immediately frightened. Finally, she could no longer hold back her emotions and burst into tears.
…
Three days later, everything was packed up. After Wei Chen waved goodbye to Gu Tingye on the dock, he boarded the passenger ship back to Youyang with brothers Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng.
On the way, Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai noticed that Sheng Changfeng was a little distracted. They could still hear him secretly crying under the quilt in the middle of the night.
Regarding the emotional problems of his younger brother, Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai discussed it and agreed that the best solution was to double Sheng Changfeng's schoolwork.
As long as Sheng Changfeng is too busy to sleep, he will naturally have no time to think about things.
Facts have proved that the effect is very good.
When the three of them arrived in Youyang, the results for the February County Examination in Youyang had been posted. Clerks from the county government office went to various social studies and academies to issue notices to students who were interested in the County Examination.
Before disembarking, Wei Chen took out the Shiwen paper he wrote yesterday from Sheng Changfeng's book bag, looked at it, and handed it to Sheng Changbai who was standing aside with a smile.
After reading it, Sheng Changbai nodded and said, "Not bad, the progress is obvious."
Sheng Changfeng was very excited when he heard this and asked: "Second brother, can I pass the county examination this time?"
Sheng Changbai smiled and said: "In previous years, there might not be a chance, but I heard that the county examination enrollment will be expanded to 100 people this year, so maybe we can give it a try."
Sheng Changfeng's eyes lit up. He knew his second brother's temperament. If his second brother said he could give it a try, he would be at least 50% sure. He nodded seriously and said, "I will study hard this month!"
After arriving in Youyang, the three of them discussed it and decided to stay at Wei Chen's house. Living together would avoid the trouble of traveling back and forth for advice.
Although the courtyard of Wei Chen's house is not big, it has a good environment, comfortable living, and very secluded. Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng are very satisfied.
When the two brothers from the Sheng family met Wei Ruyi, they both bowed obediently. Sheng Changfeng saw that Wei Ruyi and Wei Shuyi had similar faces, and couldn't help but think of what Lin Sushuang did to Wei Shuyi's mother and daughter. Feeling a little guilty, I went to the street to buy a gift for little Zhang Xu.
Although Wei Ruyi was not angry with Lin Sushuang, she would not blame it on a child. She treated Sheng Changfeng just like Sheng Changbai.
That night, Wei Ruyi prepared a sumptuous meal. Zhang Ming got the news and rushed back from the wine shop. The family and the Sheng brothers gathered together for a meal.
During the dinner, Zhang Ming heard that it was the first time for Sheng Changfeng to take the county examination, and he said: "I heard from people in the yamen that this year's county examination is easier than last year. Firstly, fifty more people were admitted. Secondly, last year's most The top batch has all been taken away, and the competition this year is much smaller. Although Sheng Xiaoguan is taking the exam for the first time, he still has a good chance of getting it if he works hard."
Sheng Changfeng was secretly excited after hearing this.
Wei Chen smiled and joked: "Uncle, are you so capable now that you can even find out the news in the yamen?"
Zhang Ming scratched his head and smiled. The whole family laughed, and the meal passed by while talking and laughing.
After dinner, Wei Chen gave Sheng Changfeng an evening lesson. He had to finish writing a topic before midnight.
Sheng Changfeng came into contact with Shiwen not long ago, and he was still in the stage of carefully considering the words and sentences. He started writing the article very slowly, and he didn't finish it until three quarters of the year.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai urged him to go to bed first. Unexpectedly, this boy was also a stubborn person and had to finish writing this article before going to bed.
After midnight, when Wei Chen got up to check, he found that Sheng Changfeng had fallen asleep on the desk.
Wei Chen was about to drag him to the bed when he suddenly heard him talking in his sleep: "Brother Wei, my little mother is so bad, will you blame me?"
Wei Chen smiled and shook his head, and said softly: "Silly boy, you are you, and your wife is your wife. Of course I won't blame you."
Wei Chen dragged Sheng Changfeng to the bed, covered him with a quilt, turned off the lights, and went back to his room to sleep. Naturally, he didn't know that after he left, there was a low sob in Sheng Changfeng's room.
