Chapter 213 Recovery
However, in order to give my eldest brother and the others a few more days to review before the exam, as soon as Mr. Fang hired a temporary teacher, my uncle went back to the village to pick up several children from the Shen family and transferred them to the county town to study.
This house, which is rented out for takeout meals, does not do takeout business, but only sells the vegetables brought in from home.
At the same time, we also find different ways to prepare nutritious meals for teachers and students.
Shen Lingzhu and her senior sister jointly consulted with her uncle about security personnel. The first person she thought of was not her cousins, but Chen Xiaoge from Daxudian.
Shen Miaozhu had an impression of this person: "He is currently doing business, so it might be hard to hire him."
If the monthly salary is low, people will not be willing to pay it back; if the monthly salary is high, they will not agree to it themselves.
"I know his business, it belongs to the entire Chen family. He just does some odd jobs and doesn't take charge of the family business. He must prefer things like security.
Whether it works or not, it’s not too much to write a letter and ask.” Shen Lingzhu was very curious about Chen Xiaoge’s skills.
Shen Huai nodded: "It's not a big letter, and your uncle Dahuai has agreed to stay with me, so one guard is enough.
If necessary, we can hire a local martial artist."
Shen Lingzhu objected, "No, Mr. Han only had a guard from his hometown with him at the time. After he sent him to deliver the letter, he didn't even have a confidant around him.
Ask Mr. He to introduce a few good men to me. They offer high monthly salaries. I don’t believe I won’t be tempted.”
Unfortunately, when I asked several cousins under the pretext of escorting my eldest brother on his journey, none of them wanted to be away from home for too long or too far. Only Uncle Dahuai was a smart person and was willing to do it.
"It doesn't have to be too many, four or five is best, it's easier to coordinate.
Well, uncle, I plan to go back and ask my senior brothers from Qixing Temple to borrow some people. Some of them are very skilled in martial arts and know some medical knowledge.
Senior Brother Zhiyuan's kung fu is among the best, but can you just tell them the destination?" Shen Miaozhu did not go back when her uncle returned to the village to pick them up. She went to the capital city to buy the finished pills herself.
Shen Huai pondered for a moment and said, "No, they are different from Mr. Fang. They are your personal favors. Please wait until the official documents come down before inviting them."
"Senior Sister, are they willing to go so far to the southwest?" Shen Lingzhu didn't have much contact with Taoist priests.
Shen Miaozhu said with certainty: "As long as we talk about developing a Sanqi medicinal field in the local area, Senior Brother Zhiyuan will definitely be willing to go there in person."
After the discussion, everyone got busy, but after one, two, or three days, the document still didn't arrive.
Miao Sili here has been convicted, removed from his official status, and sentenced to exile. We have tried our best to recover what we can of my aunt's dowry, but we still haven't seen anyone from the capital.
Shen Shiwu, who delivered vegetables back and forth between Beigou and the county town, had already conveyed Hu's concerns.
Shen Huai was also waiting anxiously. The next day after Yu Longtou's rise, he received the official reinstatement document. He cautiously asked County Magistrate Wang not to publicize it for the time being.
County Magistrate Wang understood perfectly: "After you receive your official certificate and offer sacrifices to your ancestors, I will tell the public about this."
"Thank you. I won't hold a banquet after the ancestor worship. After all, the charges against me have not been completely cleared yet." Shen Huai knew that it was the Minister of Works and Duke Zhong who framed him, but he just couldn't produce any evidence.
County Magistrate Wang was optimistic: "Those who committed injustice will eventually perish. You and the others who were forced to resign will eventually be cleared of all charges."
"Thank you for your good wishes. I will take care of my two nieces in the future." Shen Huai was not worried about his son.
County Magistrate Wang naturally agreed and did not send him out of the city to the capital.
On the fourth day of February, Shen Huai brought Mr. Fang with him for literature, and Huang Zongqi and Uncle Dahuai with him for martial arts. The group quickly headed for the capital without disturbing anyone else.
After Shen Lingzhu and his elder brother sent his uncle off at the east gate, they went to the west gate to send Shen Miaozhu back to Beigou to ask for guards.
She was a little uncertain: "Second sister, will Taoist Zhiyuan definitely go?"
"Ninety percent." Shen Miaozhu stopped the two from continuing. The county exam was just a few days away, and students should study hard. She instructed, "Ignore everything. When Song Zhubo's brother-in-law returns the shop, let Lin Zhu return all his belongings. Don't show up."
"Don't worry, second sister. Even his things, including the chopsticks, will be delivered to his home, and the government office and the village head will be asked to supervise the whole process." This will prevent people from accusing your uncle of seizing other people's property in the future.
Shen Xianzhu said, "When you go home, don't run back and forth anymore."
"Okay." Impossible. Shen Miaozhu will at least be in the county town on the day of the county exam and when the results are announced.
……
Half a month later, Shen Lingzhu was sitting in the teahouse opposite the county government office again, and this time there were many more people accompanying her.
For example, several grandfathers and uncles in the clan, and the students of the Shen family who were nervously waiting for the results to be announced.
Shen Xianzhu really wanted to go to the Eight Characters Wall to wait for the results, but several elders did not allow them to go.
As everyone was waiting quietly, Aunt Shen came in with her two sons, knocking on the door and saying, "The results haven't been announced yet, Song Ge'er. I'm so nervous.
As soon as I arrived, I pushed your uncle to go and see the list."
Shen Songzhu saw that she had not retracted the look she gave to her aunt, and when she turned around and saw Xiao Zhuzi's interested gaze, she felt helpless.
"Cough cough." Third Grandpa Shen Desheng coughed twice in dissatisfaction.
Shen Bagu hurriedly took her two sons to pay their respects to the elders. When they were halfway through the ceremony, a gong sounded from the government office opposite, and everyone instantly moved to the window.
Shen Lingzhu did not try to squeeze in. After all, it would not be long before his brothers would copy the list back. At worst, there was his senior sister who was already waiting under the list disguised as a man.
By the way, why did Captain Chen come to see Senior Sister again and even accompany her to look at the list? Could it be...
She drank her tea slowly, thinking of various possibilities in her mind, and heard the voice of the results being announced loudly from the opposite side. Then she saw Eighth Aunt clasping her hands together, chanting something, and turning in circles to worship various gods.
"Eighth girl, be quiet for a moment." Third Grandpa was impatient with being disturbed because he couldn't hear what was being shouted from the other side.
In fact, he was taking his anger out on others. At that moment, there were no less than a thousand people looking at the list. Every time they whispered something, there was a huge buzz.
Shen Bagu's expression froze, and she walked to Shen Lingzhu and sat down. Her two sons also followed and sat down.
And they secretly looked at Shen Lingyizhu with curiosity. They were about the same age as her, but they often heard people at school and home talking about how fierce "Little Miss Shen" was at beating people.
Shen Lingzhu never cared about what others said about her, so she responded to the stares of her two unfamiliar cousins with a kind smile.
She knew that her eighth aunt's first child had died young, so she especially doted on the two younger ones.
Sure enough, when she offered the snack to her cousin, Aunt Shen overreacted and pushed it back: "They don't like sweet things."
If the two little cousins' hands were not stretched out in the air, Shen Lingzhu would have believed it.
Before the two words of criticism in her mind could escape her mind, the door of the box was knocked again.
She quickly got up to open the door, but her eldest brother opened it faster than her, "Second sister, when did you get here?"
"This morning." Shen Miaozhu turned and closed the door. She glanced at the Shen family members crowded at the window and then looked away. "Brother, keep working hard next year."
