"I don't dare to ask for it."

Chen Xi reached out and pushed the silver back, pretended to be frightened, and shrank his head and said, "I'm afraid you will hit me again!"

The face of the chief clerk Xia changed and asked, "Young Master of the Shen family, are you saying that Li Dali had beaten you before?"

Chen Xi touched his butt and looked sad: "The scars are still there now, it hurts so much!"

Xia Zhuan snorted coldly: "Okay, not only do you want to reward others, but you also dare to hit people. If you come, you will pull Li Dali down and hit the 20th board!"

Li Dali knelt down and kowtowed to the chief clerk Xia and Shen Xi: "No, no, the adults and villains know that they are wrong, and they will never dare to do it again!"

The chief clerk Xia was already pretending to behave, so how could he be willing to make trouble? He looked at Chen Xi in a difficult situation, but Chen Xi still held Shen Mingjun's hand tightly with fear. He said that if you don't punish others, I won't cooperate. It seems that if you don't take any practical actions, the Yang family general said that the book was not enough.

"Why are you still standing there? Why? Don't you listen to me?"

The headmaster Xia looked ashen. When he turned around, he saw several servants standing there and shouting in anger. The yamen runners couldn't help but couldn't help but shout. Then he quickly stepped forward and dragged Li Dali up, placed it on the threshold of the main house of the Wang family, and then waved the water and fire sticks he carried with him and started beating it.

After twenty strokes, Li Dali's butt was already covered in blood.

Chen Xi knew it in his heart. Although Li Dali looked miserable, these yamen runners were very responsible for beating people. Li Dali did not hurt his bones. As long as he went back to recuperate, he would be full of vitality in a few days.

Director Xia nodded with satisfaction, and asked someone to help Li Dali up. Then he slowly walked to Chenxi and said with a smile: "Young Master of the Shen family, you should be satisfied now, right?"

"Come on, you deserve these two taels of silver rewards. I didn't expect that at a young age, you can not only install the bellows used by the blacksmith shop to the stove at home, but also make the Southern Opera and the storyteller's book. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that there are such strange things in the world."

"Okay, now the culprit has received the punishment he deserves. You should hand over the complete Yang family general's book to me, right?"

Chen Xi had long expected that Xia Zhubu would have this, but the matter of bellows is easy to explain, but the playbook and the book would never be able to do without life experience and certain knowledge. At this time, people were not like later generations. They didn’t know what they had to do if they had to check it out. At this time, people were restricted within a certain range, and even the county boundaries rarely crossed. The saying that scholars did not go out and knew all about the world was pure nonsense.

So, Chen Xi said the lying to Zhou as it was, and attributed the matter to the old Taoist priest who did not exist at all.

"I didn't believe it was you who did it."

After hearing this, Xia Zhuan nodded in thought, "However, I have never heard of such a Taoist priest in Ninghua. Could it be that he is a master of enlightenment who wanders around the world? If you want to meet this, maybe there is a great opportunity for the young master of the Shen family. Where is this master? I want to meet him."

"When I say that, that old man always takes the initiative to look for me, and I don't know where to look for him." Chen Xi said nonsense.

Xia Zhuan was stunned and then thought: "The little one is hidden in the wilderness, the big one is hidden in the city. It seems that this master is hidden in the deepest way. But since you are in Ninghua City, you only need to send someone to find him. Li Dali, now you will give you a chance to redeem your sins. You will take someone to the city to find this master. Remember to treat him well. If there is any mistake, don't say that I will not give you a chance."

Li Dali covered his butt with his hands, took the order with a frown, and then hurried out with a few yamen servants. Now he only knew that the master was a Taoist priest, and he didn't even know what his body characteristics were. These people didn't ask, and they might think that Chen Xi was just an errand runner and could not provide more detailed information.

Afterwards, Chief Xia said a few words to Wang Changnie, the master of the Wang family, and said goodbye. When he went out, he nodded to Chen Xi and took the people away.

Chen Xi breathed a long sigh. This time, not only successfully took revenge on Xuehan, but also fooled the origin of the playbook and storybook. It can be said that it was a double death. In fact, this was mainly because the chief clerk of Xia was eager to find the person who wrote the Yang family general's book, and he was not concerned about other things and did not want to worry about any more.

When Chen Xi returned home, Zhou took Lin Dai to stand in front of the side door, his face full of anxiety. It turned out that it was raining today, and the tailor shop had not much time to live, and it was done before noon. Therefore, Chen Xi sneaked to the calligraphy and painting shop before, and was immediately taken away by Shen Mingjun after he came back. Zhou was so worried now.

When Zhou asked Shen Mingjun about the situation, he looked surprised: "The government gave two taels of silver to reward? So much?"

Shen Mingjun put the silver croaker on the table with a little concern: "The master said, let our young man provoke the government. As long as I work in the Wang family for a long time, don't get too involved with the government."

Zhou held the silver turtle in his hand, and was overjoyed and sneered: "Those officials who bully others are willing to pay attention to them. Now there is finally money, let's let the idiot go to school."

Shen Mingjun said anxiously: "How can this be? This silver was owned by the old man, and we are just asking for it for others. The old man is willing to teach the young man, so we should be grateful. How can we greedy for this little money and break the principles of being a human being?"

"The lesson from the head of the family is that let the silly take us there and thank the old man for giving the money back to him." Zhou Shi's smile faded and she said solemnly.

Zhou's daily life is a bit harsh and unreasonable, but he is never vague about the issue of big things.

Chen Xi shook his head: "Dad, mom, I don't have to worry about it anymore. The old man told me before that he would leave Ninghua and go to the provincial capital. He also asked me to learn the knowledge he taught well and not let him down. I think it's best if the two elders keep the money."

"Xiaolang, you can't lie. Did that old man really leave Ninghua?" Shen Mingjun asked with some doubt.

Chen Xi nodded affirmatively.

Shen Mingjun touched his chin: "Then we have to inform the government to do our best to find trouble for those officials. Maybe they will turn back and find trouble for us."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dad, our money is the reward for writing the old man's book. The Yang family general said that Mr. has not received any penny, and even if he can't find anyone, there is no reason to ask us for it. Besides, this time, Li Yamashi got twenty sticks and must be afraid of us. How dare he cause trouble for us?"

This time, even Zhou did not agree and took her husband's hand and said, "The head of the family, the foreigner said, "I said, don't get involved with the government anymore. Why don't you listen? It's fine if they find it, but we didn't let the old man leave if we can't find anyone. We will give up after nothing."

Shen Mingjun responded, but was still worried. Chen Xi didn't know if he would go to the government to report the news in the future.

Because Chen Xi said that the old Taoist priest had left, Zhou could finally use the two taels of rewards in a legitimate way. However, she was not a person who was greedy for pleasure. The most important thing when she had the money was to study for her son. If she had the remaining money, she would save it. At dinner, she would plan and tell her husband about the plan.

Shen Mingjun agreed deeply. Moreover, the reward of the two taels of silver was also obtained through his son. Since the old man valued his son, he naturally could not let him down. It was natural to let his son open his studies.

Zhou happily put away the small silver croaker, and even worried that the cat or mouse would take it away at night. He wrapped several layers of them in a bag before stuffing them into the drawer of the large wardrobe.

During dinner, Zhou Shiyi urged: "Master, go back and ask in the city and find a school to send the naughty baby to elementary school. No matter what, we cannot let the old man down. When the naughty baby succeeds in his studies, he will be filial to the old man as much as his parents, do you think you are okay?"

Shen Mingjun pulled the rice and agreed.

The next day, Shen Mingjun asked Mr. Liu for leave and went to the city to find a school to accept disciples. When he came back in the evening, he said that it was the one where Dalang Shen Yongzhuo and Liulang Shen Yuan were studying.

Zhou's face was a little unfavorable: "The head of the family, it's not good to send Hanwa to school where we can do it. We have to be with Dalang and Liulang. What if the old lady knows about this?"

Shen Mingjun didn't care too much, but instead smiled and said, "Do you have any advice on this brother? Besides, I've asked, and other teachers won't accept students at this time, for fear that they won't be able to keep up. Even if we send them to them, we won't accept them. I think we'd better just stop it."

Zhou was dissatisfied with her face and didn't speak all night. She seemed very angry, probably because she was worried about the old lady's choice of Liulang Shen Yuan instead of Chen Xi's study.

But the next day, Zhou still solemnly prepared things for Chen Xi to become a disciple.

In this era of prosperity of Confucianism, there was a very rigorous set of etiquette for apprenticeships, which was different from Chen Xi who was sent to learn to write before. Now he is equivalent to formally studying.

Therefore, Zhou not only wanted to make new clothes for Chen Xi, but also prepared everything he should have, including the four treasures of the study and Shu Xiu for the teacher.

Zhou did not go to work for a while and stayed at home to prepare for Chen Xi.
