Shen Haoyi took a careful look at it and nodded in satisfaction after he felt that it did not look fake.
He praised Cui Biao and said, "Not bad. I didn't expect that you have such connections in the capital. You can even buy an official position. If I had known this, I wouldn't have had to cooperate with Shen Li in the first place. What a waste of time."
At this point, Shen Haoyi thought of tomorrow's Spring Examination: "Then I shouldn't have to go to the examination tomorrow, right? Anyway, I have this official position, so I can just go back to Yujiang."
The person serving was a county magistrate in Yujiang.
Although he was a local ninth-rank official, he had almost emptied out all the assets he brought with him.
Fortunately, the magistrate is in Yujiang, which is his own base. If he manages it well in the future, it will be much more profitable than being a high-ranking official in other places!
Because of the Shen family’s affairs.
Shen Haoyi finally understood that it was impossible to eat the big cake that Shen Li had drawn for him. Moreover, he had discovered that the water in the capital was much deeper than that of the Yujiang River.
Something happened to the Shen family.
He hadn't given away any of the beautiful women he brought with him, so it was unlikely that he could arrange any marriage.
After all, the powerful and influential people would not be stupid enough to get involved with the Shen family.
He even looks down on those who are not presentable.
Last time at the Shen family's 'banquet', I did take a fancy to a few good military generals, but unfortunately... let alone sending my female relatives to build relationships with them, I almost got beaten out before I even showed up.
People in the capital also looked down on them.
If Cui Biao hadn't suddenly said that there was a way to buy an official position.
Shen Haoyi had already taken his men back to Yujiang.
Cui Biao shook his head and said, "We have to take the test."
"Master, although this official position can be bought, you must have a high ranking in the upper echelons. Otherwise, if someone investigates you later, it will be easy to expose your flaws."
"But don't worry, the master said that you only need to take the exam, and he will arrange your ranking. He said this is a necessary process."
Shen Haoyi frowned.
Thinking of something, he said to Cui Biao, "Go and bring that bastard to me."
"yes."
Cui Biao went directly to the stables in the backyard of the inn and dragged the thin young man over: "Master, the second young master is here."
As soon as Shen Yingnan entered the room, Cui Biao kicked him in the leg, causing him to kneel down in front of Shen Haoyi.
Shen Yingnan frowned slightly because of the pain in his kneecap.
Shen Haoyi directly lifted his chin with his foot, and seeing his painful frown, he seemed to be in a good mood and said: "Shen Yingnan, the exam will start tomorrow. Don't forget what you have to do. You must take the exam well. Finally... remember to write your name as this young master."
Shen Yingnan was forced to raise his head.
So he could clearly see the contempt and disdain for him on Shen Haoyi's fat face.
It's like watching a dog.
A beast that can be crushed to death at any time.
Shen Yingnan's hands on the ground clenched slightly, but this time his eyes were extremely clear, and he responded very respectfully: "Yes, big brother, I remember it."
Shen Haoyi frowned.
I feel like there's something different about this bastard.
But thinking that his mother and sister were in his hands, Shen Haoyi felt relieved again.
He kicked Shen Yingnan's shoulder blade in disgust: "Get up early tomorrow and take a shower. You stink of horse manure! Also, don't let me hear you calling me big brother in the future. It makes me sick! Get out!"
Shen Yingnan covered his shoulder as if in pain, climbed up and slowly walked out of the house.
"I'm annoyed by the sight of this bastard!"
"Master, please be patient. This will be useful in the exam!"
"If it weren't for this, do you think this young master could still tolerate him! After this exam, it's time to go back... Then I can deal with him properly..." A vicious look flashed in Shen Haoyi's eyes.
If it weren’t for this damn Spring Examination.
How could that bastard have the chance to be taken home and even be included in the family tree? Shen Haoyi felt uncomfortable thinking that he had such a younger brother.
Fortunately, my father doesn't think much of this bastard!
"Go get him a decent set of clothes, the same style as mine..."
Shen Yingnan paused slightly at the corner of the stairs, and then went downstairs under the gaze of the guards. No one noticed that his eyes, which had just been clear, had become deep and cold.
Shen Haoyi booked Yunfu Inn for half a month.
Ever since the horses were poisoned to death last time, Shen Yingnan was directly sent by Shen Haoyi to live in the stable.
He was deliberately humiliating him!
However, this also has its advantages.
Because the stable had a strong smell, the young men of the clan disliked the smell, so they would not bother to come looking for him. Moreover, there was a door on the side of the stable that led to the outside.
You can go out.
You can also let people in.
Therefore, Shen Yingnan had secretly gone out alone several times, and by chance, he met his master's wife and fellow apprentice...
"elder brother!"
As soon as Shen Yingnan returned to the stable, he saw a dirty little beggar crawling in from the dog hole on the side of the door. He then looked around and after seeing that there was no one around, he bent down and dragged in a small food box from the dog hole.
"My husband asked me to bring this to you. My mother-in-law just made it. It's delicious. My husband told you to eat it while it's hot. There are also some of his manuscripts and other things underneath." The little beggar ran up to Shen Yingnan and stuffed the food box into his hand.
This little beggar has come here several times.
Familiar with the place.
After stuffing the things into Shen Yingnan's hands, he turned back and left through the dog hole.
Shen Yingnan grabbed him, took him to the side door, and personally opened the door for him to go out: “Be careful when you go back.”
The little beggar grinned and nodded happily.
"Got it, thank you brother!"
He stepped over the threshold and rushed into the street.
Shen Yingnan was about to close the door when he suddenly heard a soft female voice behind him: "Can I go out for a while?"
It’s Shen Youran.
She was wearing a lotus-white skirt and a light purple shirt. She had stood not far behind Shen Yingnan without knowing when. She was holding a hat in her hand and a maid carrying a bundle followed behind her. She was very low-key.
Shen Yingnan frowned slightly.
However, on the surface he lowered his head slightly, then silently moved to the side of the door.
"Brother, come with me."
When Shen Youran stepped out of the door, he suddenly stopped and said with his eyes fixed on Shen Yingnan.
And the word 'together' seems to contain a lot of things.
Shen Yingnan heard it.
Was she planning on having him follow her and become... her 'dog'? Or perhaps the 'dog' of someone behind her?
Shen Yingnan was not interested.
So he pretended not to hear.
Shen Youran stared at him and couldn't help but said slowly, "Second brother, you can't win by yourself. Come with me, I can help you one day!"
