Chapter 146: Justice for oneself
After a
good night's sleep, Ruan Ruan woke up and heard Wang Daniu say that Shen Qingqing's skin was itchy last night, and several doctors could not cure it.
Deserve it!
Ruan Ruan felt so happy that he even ate an extra bowl of millet porridge for breakfast.
Gongyuan will open its doors in the afternoon, and hundreds of candidates can go home after handing in their papers.
Cheng Yurong asked people to clean the general's mansion inside and out, especially Shen Zhiyuan's residence, Songyuan.
Ruan Ruan ran around the garden with Cang Tian and Dou Ling, and the two brothers Wang Daniu and Wang Dayu followed beside them until the sun rose in the sky.
She was sweating all over, so she was dragged by the wet nurse to take a bath.
On August 12, autumn is like a tiger, but still as hot as summer.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening meal (from three to five o'clock in the afternoon). Shen Hong went to court early and took his whole family to Gongyuan to take Shen Zhiyuan home.
Because they arrived early, the three carriages were parked in the best position.
The family was not in a hurry to get off the carriage, fearing that they would have endless things to say when they met an acquaintance.
In less than two-quarters of an hour, the square outside the Gongyuan was already filled with parents and servants taking the candidates home, and the sound was deafening.
As soon as the eighth hour of the hour arrives, the gate of Gongyuan opens immediately.
Shen Hong took his family out of the carriage and stood guard at the entrance of the fence.
Shen Zhiyu, Shen Su and Qili rushed into the gate immediately. As soon as Shen Zhiyuan appeared, they immediately supported him and helped him carry his luggage.
Five days of life in the Gongyuan was no joke, it was hot and smelly, and you couldn't even take a shower or change clothes.
Several servants carried three unconscious and weak candidates out, and their families came over and took them away, screaming.
It is really not easy to persist until the fifth day.
Because in these five days, ten candidates have given up their qualifications for the provincial examination.
One of them was bitten by a centipede and had to go out for treatment.
There are two others who have had stomachaches for most of the day and will definitely die if they don't go out for treatment.
In previous years, one or two candidates would die in accidents due to provincial examinations.
The scene was noisy, and candidates walked out listlessly carrying their luggage one after another.
Shen Hong's family stared at the gate, looking forward to Shen Zhiyuan's figure.
"Uncle Shen, Aunt Shen..." Xu Wanrou came over to say hello and salute, with a piece of gauze wrapped around her face.
"You're here..." Cheng Yurong helped her up. She returned to live in the Xu Mansion three months ago.
"Sister Xu, are you also worried about my eldest brother?" Ruan Ruan asked deliberately.
Xu Wanrou's cheeks suddenly turned red, she lowered her head and responded softly.
In the past three months, she had returned to live in the Xu Mansion. Although she had met Shen Zhiyuan five or six times, it was impossible not to miss him.
After spending more than five years accompanying him day and night, the feelings between each other have already penetrated deep into the bones.
Ruan Ruan stopped teasing Xu Wanrou, knowing that she was thin-skinned, so don't scare people away.
The eldest brother probably wants to see her now too.
At this time, several people came.
"Boss, go back quickly! Don't embarrass yourself here. Your paralytic has been in bed for several years, how can he still write articles and poems."
Shen Zhongsheng looked arrogant.
Old Yang rolled his eyes and sneered: "In order to avoid losing the face of the Protector's Palace, a paralyzed man still wants to take part in the provincial examination. Why, he still wants to be the paralyzed number one scholar?" "
Mother, don't talk nonsense. Misfortune comes from the mouth. Brother Yuan has recovered his health three months ago, but he walked into Gongyuan by himself." Xiao Yang persuaded.
Shen Qingqing said nothing, only thinking about whether Shen Shaosheng did well in the provincial examination this time.
Shen Hong's family pretended not to hear what Shen Zhongsheng and Old Yang said.
"What do you mean about recovery? Can Shen Zhiyuan walk?" Old Yang's face was full of shock and fear.
Shen Zhongsheng was similar, his hands were trembling. He was also involved in Shen Zhiyuan's fall from the cliff. Several candidates came out one after another, looking in good spirits.
They were taken back by their respective parents and servants like stars.
Shen Hong's family all focused on the gate of Gongyuan and never left.
At this time, a light green figure appeared at the gate.
"The young master is coming out, the young master is coming out."
"The eldest young master is coming out -"
"Eldest brother -"
Shen Su was so excited that he cried, wiping his tears and rushing forward as fast as he could.
After six years of hard work, I finally waited for the day when my son took part in the provincial examination and felt proud.
Shen Zhiyu rushed over with Qili, one supported Shen Zhiyuan, and the other helped carry the luggage.
"Brother, are you feeling well? Do you want to ask the doctor to take a look?"
"No need, I feel okay." Shen Zhiyuan's face was a little pale, but overall he looked clean and energetic.
"Okay, let's go home first."
When passing by Shen Zhongsheng and Lao Yang, Shen Zhiyuan greeted them politely.
"Grandpa."
"You, you, you..." Shen Zhongsheng's voice trembled, and his eyes were as wide as bells. When he saw Shen Zhiyuan who could walk, he felt like he was seeing an evil ghost.
"Why can you walk? Why? Shen Zhiyuan, please explain to me clearly, how can you walk? I don't allow it."
Old Yang raised his finger and pointed at Shen Zhiyuan's nose and cursed, as if someone had killed her whole family.
"Why?" Shen Zhiyuan sneered and pointed at the sky.
"Someone does evil and harms people's lives. Even the sky can't stand it. Give the victim a chance to recover physically so that he can avenge himself."
"You!" Old Yang was so angry that he couldn't speak and glanced at him with a guilty conscience. The sky lowered its head.
"Master, please speak quickly."
"I... Shen Zhiyuan, you were able to walk three months ago, why didn't you tell me?" Shen Zhongsheng caught this question and grabbed Shen Zhiyuan tightly.
"If I told you, would you be happy for me? Everyone in the capital knew about my recovery and ability to walk a few days ago. How come you only found out today?"
Shen Zhiyuan smiled instead of getting angry, and opened Shen Zhongsheng's hand. hand.
"Grandpa, I still call you respectfully now, not because you are a virtuous elder. You are just my father's father."
A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. From now on, the second wife will begin to bear the burden. Revenge from him, from the second and third brothers, and even the whole family.
Shen Zhongsheng drooped his arms weakly, his face turning blue and white.
Shen Zhiyuan and Shen Zhiyu walked outside.
At this time, Shen Shaosheng came out of Gongyuan.
"Son, are you out now? Are you feeling well? Mom loves you so much. Look how thin you have become and your face is so pale."
Little Yang rushed over and hugged Shen Shaosheng.
"Brother, how did you do in the exam? Are you confident in getting Jieyuan?" Shen Qingqing only cared about this issue.
If Shen Shaosheng cannot get this year's Jieyuan, then he will be a useless chess piece and will have no effect on her.
"You kid, you don't care about your eldest brother's health. Didn't you see that your eldest brother is very uncomfortable?" Little Yang turned to blame Shen Qingqing and helped Shen Shaosheng out.
"Son, it's okay. Mom believes you can get Jieyuan. You have been smart since you were a child.
Let's go back first and let you have a good rest. Mom will also prepare a table of your favorite meals for you."
"..." Shen Shaosheng said. He didn't speak from beginning to end, his eyes kept staring at Shen Zhiyuan's back.
Why?
Why?
Why?
