Chapter 52: Mr. Shen

Chapter 52 Master Shen himself

Jiang Shuangyan and Mrs. Wu both said: "Yes, Miss."

Although they have the same doubts as Zongzheng, their purpose is to do whatever the lady asks.

Yu Wan felt that the dryness in the air was getting more and more serious. This was not the rhythm of rain, but the rhythm of a severe drought, and the harvest of grain was imminent.

The day is approaching when the private school starts. In the morning, the family got up early. Under the leadership of Yu Wan, the group came outside Master Shen's house.

Yu Haoran stepped forward and knocked on the door. The door opened immediately, revealing the face of an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life: "Are you looking for Master Shen?"

“Yes, old man, please inform me,” Yu Haoran said politely.

 The old man said: "Wait a moment."

Yu Haoran: "Thank you, old man."

Yu Wan secretly praised Yu Haoran. In less than a month, he went from a boy who dared not say a word to the calm and generous eldest son Fan'er. She looked back at Feng who was holding Xiao Qi. She had contributed a lot to it.

After a while, the old man turned around and said to Yu Haoran: "Master, let those who want to study go in, and the others can wait."

"ah?"

Yu Wan smiled, Master Shen really did everything based on his preference.

"Uncle Zong, please give the apprenticeship ceremony to the eldest brother and the others, each of them can take his own."

 “Yes, miss”, Zongzheng distributed the four copies of the apprenticeship ceremony to the four brothers Yu Haoran.

Yu Wan stepped forward and looked at the apprenticeship ceremony in the basket to confirm that there was nothing wrong with it.

 In addition, she added a pound of spiritual wine to each apprenticeship ceremony. I think the old man liked this more.

"Brother, when you go in to see the Master, you don't have to be formal. I'm sure the Master will test you. You can answer whatever you want. Go in and don't keep the Master waiting."

The four brothers entered the house with their chests straightened out, their clothes straightened, and carrying baskets.

Ms. Feng watched the four brothers go in with a worried look. Why didn't she know Master Shen? If you have real talent, you can learn from it, but your mouth is poisonous.

At that time Master Shen was demoted for a time and became a major topic of conversation in the capital. If Mrs. Shen knew that it was her father who demoted her, would she be angry with her child?

Yu Wan did not ignore the worry in Feng's eyes. She stepped forward and teased Xiao Qi.

"Mom, don't worry, trust me."

"Xiao Si'er, mother knows that if you don't worry, it's a lie. Then Master Shen..." Mrs. Feng stopped talking.

Yu Wan saw what Feng was thinking, but Feng didn't think about it either. Now she has an identity. She said: "Mom, you are thinking too much. I have met Mrs. Shen. She is a good wife. Don't worry, big brother and the others will definitely become him." s student".

Master Shen was able to become a bachelor and was demoted again and again. Now he is living a leisurely and restless life. His heart is open-minded and he has already seen through all the situations in the world. How can he be influenced by a down-and-out royal family.

 An hour later, while everyone was waiting anxiously, the four brothers smiled happily.

“Mom, fourth sister, we can come to school tomorrow.” Xiaowu ran forward and threw herself into Yu Wan’s arms. Her joy was beyond words.

"Really? That's great." Mrs. Feng was overjoyed at this moment.

"Let's go, mother, Xiao Si'er, let's go back and talk." Yu Haoran greeted Mrs. Feng and stood in front of the master's door and spoke loudly. How decent was it?

 “Oh oh oh, let’s go, let’s go, mom is so happy.” Could Mrs. Feng be unhappy? What would she be like if that incident hadn't happened back then? What kind of life do her current children want to live in, and what kind of school do they want to enter?

Now her son is enlightened only when he is a teenager.

 It's all thanks to Xiao Si'er. If it weren't for her, their family would still be working as cows and horses in the old house. The poison in her body is still there, and there is no telling whether she will die or not.

It's all her obedient little boy who brought the whole family out of the sea of ​​misery!

Mrs. Feng looked at the loving brothers and sisters in front of her, her eyes full of love, and her heart felt like she had eaten honey.

Back at Yu Mansion, Yu Wan asked Zong Zheng to have the kitchen prepare a table of delicious dishes. The eight of them, mother and son, had a great time at noon.

 This is the most important happy event for their family.

"Okay, miss, I'll do it now." Zongzheng stepped back and trotted towards the kitchen.

 Eight mother and son entered Yu Wan's courtyard. She asked Mrs. Wu and Jiang Shuangyan to make tea and arrange fruits.

Mrs. Feng sat at the top with Xiao Qi in her arms, and the brothers and sisters sat down one after another, all waiting for Yu Haoran and others to say.

“Brother, tell me. You see, my mother is impatient.”

Yu Haoran took a few sips of tea and said: "Actually, Master Shen just asked each of us one question, and we answered whatever we thought. Then he asked us to worship the Great Sage Su, and then perform the apprenticeship ceremony."

He added: "What Master Shen asked me is: If a person is very poor and you want to help him, how should you help him? I think that Xiao Si'er teaches us literacy and martial arts. This is teaching us skills. We can rely on We have the ability to survive for a long time. If we give us money and wait for others to help us, will others help us again? So I understand that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them how to fish. , and then I said it.”

Yu Haoyu continued: "What Master Shen asked me was, if one day the country is in trouble, what would I do?"

He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I said that if there were foreign enemies, I would definitely go into battle to kill them."

Yu Haotian said: "Master asked me how I should deal with myself when I become the richest man one day? I didn't expect that Master didn't test his knowledge, so I didn't know how to answer this question. My mind turned around and I realized that Master just asked the question to my eldest and second brother. Don’t you just need my money? So I told the Master that I could build workshops in poor places, teach them to work, and then let them work in the workshop for me. They would earn money and learn to work, and I would also earn money. , Hehe, why not do it? In addition, I can also donate food and clothing to the sergeants. In war, food and grass come first. Do you have to have enough food and grass? "

Yu Wan didn't say a word. She was thinking thoughtfully about Master Shen's test questions.

At this time, Xiao Liu said: "The question Master asked me was very simple. He said the brothers were fighting. Who should I help? I said I would beat whoever ignored him. How could we brothers fight?"

Ms. Feng also understood. She was happy at first, but now she was worried.

Yu Wan also understood, and the old man knew their identities.

 It’s just that these silly boys don’t know.

Yu Wan could probably guess the old man’s intentions: First, he wanted to tell her clearly that Master Shen knew the identity of their family. Second, he may train several children in various aspects. After all, their identities will be revealed one day, and these children will have to work for those in need. Third, although this old man is in this remote place, his heart is with the imperial court.
