Cannon fodder Gong Just Wants To Take The Imperial Examination [MTL]

Chapter 32

People in poor mountain valleys like theirs usually beat the thief if they encounter a thief, and few people will send the thief to the government because of this. It's not that the people here are too kind and honest, but that most people in this era are afraid of the government. In the hearts of many people, local parents and officials are the so-called Qingtian masters above their heads, and they don't want to see officials unless they are forced to.

But Shen Chenyu is different from them. In his eyes, the government is the police of later generations, and they all exist to serve the people. Although because of the backwardness of this era, it is inevitable that there will be corrupt and bribery officials in some small places, but most of the officials in the imperial court are also good officials.

Because of the bandits and wild boars before, Shen Chenyu met the magistrate of Qingcheng County. The other party gave Shen Chenyu the impression that he was very busy every day, and had little time to gag with others, so it could be seen that the other party should still be a pretty good magistrate.

When they heard that Shen Chenyu was going to send Chen Mozi to the government, the people around looked at him in surprise. Obviously, in the hearts of these simple villagers, this trivial matter is not at all to the point of sending an official.

Someone wanted to talk to Shen Chenyu to let it go, but when he thought about the troublesome existence of Chen Yanzi, he felt that maybe it would be good to send him to an official.

After all, Chen Mozi's behavior is really disgusting. Not only does he like to sneak around, but he also often provokes little girls and brothers. Although for so many years, Chen Mozi hadn't succeeded much, but his existence was indeed intimidating.

Originally, Chen Mozi was still staring at Shen Chenyu with resentment, thinking about how to disgust him in the future. As a result, when he heard that Shen Chenyu was going to send him to the government, Chen Mozi's eyes couldn't help being full of panic and anxiety.

He tried his best to wipe off the rag from his mouth, then stared at Shen Chenyu angrily and cursed: "I haven't stolen anything yet... No... I didn't come to steal anything at all, I just happened to be from you guys." It was just passing by the door of the house, and then it ruined the good business between you and your husband... You bastard became angry so..."

Before the other party finished speaking, a figure passed by Shen Chenyu, and then Chen Yanzi was hit on the face. A slap.

This time it was Shen Liushi who hit someone, and Shen Liushi glared at Chen Mozi with an angry face and said, "Let you talk nonsense, clean your mouth!"

Shen Chenyu is still a little confused at the moment, what is broken It's a good thing about him and Fu Lang, why doesn't he, the client, know anything? Could it be that the good thing that Chen Yanzi said was the thing that he hugged Mu Linting last night?

Before Shen Chenyu could remain silent, the beaten Chen Yanzi yelled loudly. "Why don't people talk anymore? Your son stays up in the middle of the night and does that kind of thing in the yard with his husband in his arms..."

Who is Chen Mozi, he is as disgusting as his name. He's a guy who can say all kinds of shit, and it's not surprising that he would say such a thing at this time, because it's something he used to do.

In the past, when some thin-skinned people met such a shameless Chen Yanzi, in order not to make things big and affect the family, they usually had to knock out their teeth and swallow their blood.

But obviously, the second room of the Shen family is not an ordinary family. After hearing what he said, Shen Chenyu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Shen Yuyan

was born beautiful, but when she smiled so heartily, she was a little less calm than usual, but a little more frivolous than a teenager.

"Hahaha... My husband is married back by Mingmei. It is only natural for me to get along with him. It is not up to you, a shameless thief, to

take care of me!" Mu Linting, who was about to go outside, listened When Shen Chenyu said this, a trace of anger appeared on his expressionless face.

Fortunately, he still thinks that Shen Chenyu is quite a calm person, no matter whether they did anything yesterday, how could such a thing be mentioned in front of outsiders? What's more, Chen Yanzi is a small thief, why should Shen Chenyu explain nonsense to him?

Mu Linting thought this way, and walked out with his lips tightly pressed, without saying a word, he knocked Chen Yanzi out, and his ears were still a little red.

Shen Chenyu didn't expect Mu Linting to come out, he thought of what he had just thought out of his head, and smiled awkwardly at Mu Linting. Later, he thought that Mu Linting could not see, so he could only helplessly lick the left fang.

It stands to reason that if Chen Mozi didn't steal anything, even if he was sent to the government, he would be punished a few times at most, and then he would have a criminal record like later generations.

But Shen Chenyu sent him all the way to the government, not just for Chen Yanzi to go there and get two boards. Coupled with the obviously disgusting words of the other party before, Shen Chenyu is even more unwilling to let him go casually.

According to what Chen Mozi had done to bully his daughter-in-law over the years, it would not be an exaggeration to imprison Chen Mozi for five or six years. Shen Chenyu took out ten taels of silver as stolen goods in order to put Chen Yanzi in jail. Coupled with the testimony of people from the Shen family and Xiling Village, Chen Yanzi was put in prison for theft.

The crime of theft at this time is very serious. Once the stolen goods exceed five taels of silver, the crime will change from beating the board to going to jail. Ten taels of silver is equivalent to 10,000 yuan in later generations, which is really not enough to go to prison in later generations. However, the hierarchy in this era is very strict, and most of the imperial court safeguards the interests of noble families. This is also the reason why most people are afraid of the government. After all, there is a saying that "the gate of the yamen opens to the south, don't come in if you have a reason and no money".

Maybe it's because the wall is falling and everyone is pushing, or Chen Mozi is really disgusting. After learning that Shen Chenyu sent him to the government, because Shen Chenyu gave them a head start, the family who had been stolen by Chen Yanzi also came to find him. Because so many people sued Chen Mozi, and Chen Mozi contradicted the county magistrate in the yamen, he was finally imprisoned for two years instead of six months.

Shen Chenyu was a little funny when she saw this, but she didn't feel sympathetic to Chen Mozi at all in her heart, she just felt that this guy had done too many crimes and got retribution.

Then came the day when Shen Chenyu was apprenticed to a teacher. On that day, the Shen family accompanied Shen Chenyu. On the way there, the two cousins ​​chatted all the way.

Because after Shen Chenyu started studying, he didn't have time to do business with the Shen family, and the Shen family had to do the rest by themselves. The Shen family was not very confident about their abilities, so they couldn't help asking a few more questions on the way.

During this period of time, Da Fang performed fairly well, and when the same type of crib began to appear on the market, he took out another blueprint and gave it to Da Fang.

...

After Shen Chenyu finished his apprenticeship, he had one day of preparation time, and then he will officially start studying. Shen Chenyu's foundation was laid well, she didn't need to learn from Mrs. Liu, and went directly to the private school's exam preparation class.

There are eight students in the exam preparation class, the oldest is twenty-four or five years old, and the youngest is less than fourteen years old. Including Shen Chenyu who just arrived, there are a total of nine people who are determined to end next year. At that time, Mr. Liu will have to find someone from another private school, so that ten people can join together to participate in the children's examination.

After the matter of apprenticeship was settled, Shen Chenyu took the opportunity to separate from the Shen family because they were discussing business with people in the town.

Shen Chenyu went to the next town alone, and sold the ginseng given by the crazy boy. Because this ginseng has been stored for a long time, and the roots are not well preserved, it was only sold for less than fifty taels of silver in the end. But even if it is less than fifty taels, it is still a huge sum of money for Shen Chenyu.

On the way back alone, Shen Chenyu took out the cloth bag she had prepared before, and then moved out ten catties of polished rice, ten catties of flour, five catties of millet, and some scattered miscellaneous grains from the space.

The food of this era is relatively not as good as the food of later generations. Shen Chenyu has a lot of food in his hand, so it is better to use his own than to spend money to buy food.

When approaching Xiling Village, he took out some clean papers, unpacked several bags of pastries and wrapped them up, intending to let Shen Liushi and Mu Linting try something new. In order not to appear partial, Shen Chenyu also wrapped half a bag of rice noodles in paper, and also changed the taste of her own small meat buns.

After Shen Chenyu finished all this, she walked into the village without haste. As soon as the villagers saw the big and small bags on his back, they couldn't help but gather around curiously to ask what they bought. Shen Chenyu greeted them with a good temper, but didn't say what she bought back.

A group of people watched Shen Chenyu walk away, and an aunt from a farm family couldn't help but whispered: "No wonder Chen Yanzi will take aim at their house. This Shen Jiayu brother is indeed capable. I heard that the business that the big house is doing now is that Shen Jiayu brother helps out. Alas, scholars are different, and their brains are better than our peasants."

"Isn't it? It's a pity that Brother Yu is already married, otherwise I will promise my niece to him, and then we can also enjoy fame and drink Spicy."

"Bah, bah, even if brother Shen Jiayu is not married, he still doesn't like that little fat girl of your niece. He doesn't even care what your niece looks like. Even if brother Shen Jiayu is blind, he still doesn't like her."

"Why don't you like it? You guys don't know about Chen Mozi before? Brother Yu and Fulang have a good relationship, maybe he likes ugly ones?"

Thinking about how Shen Chenyu caught Chen Mozi, A group of aunts and aunts who had been married long ago couldn't help laughing cheerfully into a group.

Widow Zhang, who was walking towards the river with a basin of dirty clothes in her arms, couldn't help but stop and take a look at the man's back as he walked away. She had previously thought that Shen Chenyu would definitely be capable in the future, and thinking that she was born so beautiful but became a little widow, she couldn't help but have crooked thoughts that shouldn't have arisen.

Now hearing everyone's discussion, Widow Zhang also felt that there was something wrong with Shen Chenyu's eyesight, otherwise he wouldn't have let so many good-looking people go, and just married an ugly husband like Mu Linting.

But now she didn't dare to make a wrong decision. When she thought that such a difficult thorn in the head of Chen Yanzi would be easily sent to prison by Shen Chenyu in the end, Widow Zhang didn't have the guts to provoke such a person.

...

At the same time, Shen Chenyu returned home with big and small bags. Shen Liushi came out of the room with Xiaoroubao in her arms. When she saw that he had bought so many things, she immediately wanted to put Xiaoroubao in the crib and come to help.

Seeing this, Shen Chenyu hurriedly said: "It's okay, I can clean it up myself."

Although the heaviest of these things was only ten catties, adding up ten catties and five catties made Shen Chenyu's small body very tired.

Just when Shen Chenyu was so tired that she bent down, a pair of slender and detached hands stretched out from behind him, and then neatly helped him unload the burden on him. Shen Chenyu didn't look back, she thanked the people behind her, and then slumped down on a chair beside her.
