Chapter 480 Xiong Feng Looks Familiar
It is said that men understand men. He initially suspected that Murong Jue had different ideas about his eldest daughter and did so many thankless things in order to get close to his daughter.
But after hearing what his daughter said today, he became suspicious again.
After all, if a man is really interested in a woman, he will not just talk about business and not talk about love.
Moreover, apart from caring about the twins, the other party didn't seem to have any special feelings towards Shen Yuezhang. Perhaps he was really overthinking it.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi relaxed a lot.
Shen Yuezhang was not entangled at all. She turned her head to look at Shen Congrong and smiled from the bottom of her heart: "Congratulations to my brother for such a good result in the imperial examination. Sister doesn't have anything good to give you. You can take this 1,000 taels of silver with you. When you go to the imperial capital, you can buy whatever you want. Don't treat yourself badly.
In addition, I have collected some rare books in the county and placed them in my yard. You can take them away whenever you want them."
Shen Congrong was overjoyed and jumped up excitedly, “Thank you, big sister, I want it now!”
"Walk!"
The brother and sister ran out of the hall.
Su Tai and Shen Yi looked at each other, laughed and shook their heads.
Shen Congrong got those precious rare books and was so engrossed in reading them that he forgot all about the sadness of parting.
Departure day.
Shen Yi and Su Tai had already arranged everything for Shen Congrong, and arranged four servants for him, and also hired a team of escorts.
Shen Congrong and Su Yongzhang stood side by side, bowed respectfully to their parents and elders, and got on the carriage.
Han watched the carriage leave reluctantly, tears falling down her face. She looked back at Su Tai and was furious, "The child is going away at such a young age, how can you, as a mother, not be sad at all!
And Yu'er and Yue'an, how old are they! What's wrong with being a little naughty? How could you be so cruel to send them to the garrison! If anything happens to the children, I don't know where you can cry!"
Han became angrier and angrier as she spoke. If she hadn't come with Wan and the others to see them off, she wouldn't have known that her little grandson and granddaughter had gone to the garrison camp. She also heard that the two children had to practice martial arts every day. She felt so distressed that she wanted to beat Su Tai and Chen Yi up.
Su Tai's neck shuddered and she hid next to Shen Yi, "Mom! This is for their own good! Master Xue is better at disciplining children than we are. After two years when the children are more stable, I will bring them to see you!"
"Look! We don't know if your mother can live to see that time!" Han got on the carriage angrily and roared at Su Chunlin, "Hurry up and leave!"
Shen Yi hurriedly stopped him, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law should stay in the county for two days before going back!"
"Why do you want to live here? There's a lot of chores to do at home! We're not as careless as you!" Han didn't name anyone, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell who she was angry at.
The couple looked at each other awkwardly and shut up.
Su Chunlin looked helpless, patted Chen Yi's shoulder, and then got on the carriage.
Wan comforted him, "Your mother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She dotes on the twins so much. If you secretly send the children to suffer, it would be strange if she didn't get angry. I think you should not go back for the New Year this year, or you will be embarrassed!"
Of the four grandsons, one went to the imperial capital, two are in the garrison camp, and only one granddaughter is left at home. It would be strange if Han could be so open-minded.
As soon as Wan finished speaking, Su Chunlin's carriage turned back. He smiled bitterly and said, "Your mother said she wanted to take Yue Zhang back home because she was worried that she wouldn't be able to live well with you."
Su Tai: “.”
Shen Yi: “.”
In order to appease Han, Su Tai could only obediently have someone prepare Shen Yuezhang's luggage and let Han take her away.
Now all four children ran away.
Fortunately, it was about to snow, and their family’s seafood business was about to start again. She didn’t have time to keep an eye on the children, so it was less of a worry for her to leave.
Thinking of this, Su Tai felt relieved again.
Shen Congrong in the imperial envoy team was now sharing the rare book that Shen Yuezhang gave him with Su Yongzhang, "Cousin, look at this, this book explains the classics very well. I used to only understand half of the books in the study, and sometimes I had to ask Brother Xiong Feng for help. This book explains it clearly, and I understand it at a glance."
Su Yongzhang came over with great interest to read the book with Shen Congrong. After half a day, the two got stuck at the same place and had an argument because of their different opinions.
Shen Congrong subconsciously thought of Xiong Feng, and said to his follower Qing Zhu, "I remember that Brother Xiong Feng is also in the team. Did you see him just now?"
Qing Zhu nodded quickly, "Yes! I just went through everyone that Master knows, but I don't know if Master Xiong Feng is also going to the Imperial Capital."
Shen Congrong was stunned for a moment, “Didn’t he get top marks in the imperial examination?”
"Sir, I don't know. I just asked around and found out that there are many people in the team who went to the capital to study. They only got average grades and will have to wait three years before they can leave."
Qingzhu’s words surprised Shen Congrong.
While waiting for a break, Shen Congrong took Su Yongzhang to see Xiong Feng, “Brother Xiong Feng.”
Xiong Feng raised his head, smiled warmly, stood up and greeted the two of them, "Mr. Shen."
Shen Congrong asked slightly excitedly: "Brother Xiong Feng also got a top score in the imperial examination and is going to the imperial capital?"
Xiong Feng nodded, "Exactly."
"Great! Then we can go together. By the way, take a look at this." Shen Congrong took out the collection of classics, history, and miscellaneous works, and the three of them got together to study.
Chu Heng, Zhou Ran and Xi Mu saw this scene and laughed at the same time.
Xi Mu said: "Yong Zhang was a leader when he was in Dongmen Village. He always felt regretful that he could not find an opponent. Now he has met a close friend."
Chu Heng laughed loudly, "Congrong is only ten years old, two years younger than Su Yongzhang. When it comes to being the best, this kid is undoubtedly the best."
Zhou Ran kept staring at Xiong Feng and asked suspiciously, "Is that child also from Dongmen Village?"
Xi Mu shook his head, "No, I haven't seen him. I thought he was from Shenjiazhuang."
"Could it be that he is from a wealthy family in the county?" Zhou Ran stroked his chin in thought, feeling more suspicious because Xiong Feng was dressed too casually and looked more like a farmer's son.
The three of them were whispering here and were seen by Shen Ying.
Shen Ying followed over to join in the fun, followed their line of sight, stared at Xiong Feng for a long time, and said with a smile: "Just go over and ask and you'll know!"
As he said this, he really did it.
Shen Congrong saw the village chief coming and hurriedly got up to greet him.
Shen Ying smiled gently and asked Xiong Feng, "What's your name, young man? Which village are you from?"
"Xiong Feng!" Xiong Feng responded politely.
Shen Ying stared at his face and racked his brains for a long time. "The surname Xiong is not common! Why do I think you look more and more familiar? I just can't remember where I have seen you before!"
