Chapter 147: Xun Changshi Arrives
When Shen Yueqiao received Shen San's report the next day, he was not surprised at all.
She had already learned the truth about her ranking from her mother, so she dared to be so unscrupulous yesterday.
Sure enough, her bet was right!
"Take him directly to the back room to see the master." Shen Yueqiao's hand was as steady as a rock when writing. After the Tongshi examination, there was still more than a month before the Xiangshi examination. The Tongshi examination was a special examination, but the Xiangshi examination was not!
Most of the students who passed the exam this time just wanted to test the waters and did not have the mentality of passing the exam, so the academy did not offer special courses for this group of people.
However, if they were asked to study with the students preparing for the provincial examinations, they would not be able to keep up with the curriculum, so they had to study at home on their own.
Families with the means will hire some tutors, while those who don’t have the means will study hard at home.
Only Shen's mother knew the truth about Shen Yueqiao's ranking in the Shen family, so she insisted on offering sacrifices to the ancestors despite the fact that Shen Yueqiao only ranked 98th.
However, this matter should not be publicized, so only Shen Yueqiao was told, with the aim of boosting her confidence and preparing for the provincial examination!
I have to say that Shen's mother is really thoughtful.
It was noon, and Shen Yueqiao went out and took Shen San to the back room.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw Shen Zhi and Lin Twelve guarding the door.
As soon as the two saw Shen Yueqiao, they immediately knelt down and saluted, but Shen Yueqiao waved his hand.
"Master, Master Xun is still talking to the master." Shen Zhi reported directly.
Shen Yueqiao nodded, and then instructed Lin Twelve: "Go and invite the Lord and Master Xun to come out for dinner."
Lin Twelve took the order and left.
Shen Zhi immediately stood beside Shen Yueqiao, and then slightly behind Shen San, and reported: "Master, the master doesn't seem very happy."
Shen Yueqiao nodded. She had long discovered that Shen Zhi was a very perceptive person and was smart in his work. He was more appropriate than Lin Liu and Lin Twelve, so she said, "You reported the task well. You will receive the reward later."
"Thank you, head of the family!" Shen Zhi bowed and then followed Shen Yueqiao to the dining room.
After a while, Lin Hongle brought Attendant Xun into the dining room.
As soon as he saw Shen Yueqiao, Changshi Xun immediately nodded and bowed to greet him.
Although he was Lin Hongle's biological father, he was just a servant of Lord Lin. After all, he was also a servant of the Lin family. Naturally, he had to bow when he saw Shen Yueqiao.
Shen Yueqiao just nodded indifferently, stood up and went straight to hold Lin Hongle's hand.
Lin Hongle habitually put his hand in hers as usual. Shen Yueqiao pulled him and made him sit down. Then he said to Xun Changshi: "Please sit down, father. We are all family. Don't be polite!"
She somewhat disliked Chamberlain Xun. At that time in the Lin Mansion, he ignored Lin Hongle and instead pleaded for Lin Hongyou, which made people dislike him.
Changshi Xun stared in amazement as Shen Yueqiao took care of Lin Hongle's meals as if he were serving a child.
He pursed his lips and said: "Ms. Shen, you don't have to take care of Hongle so much..."
"Hongle's hand injury has not yet recovered, so father, don't worry about him." Shen Yueqiao was looking at Lin Hongle tenderly in the previous second, and was cold to Xun Changshi in the next second.
Xun Changshi shuddered unconsciously after seeing this and kept silent.
"If you are willing, you can stay in the East House for a few more days." Seeing that he was silent, Shen Yueqiao spoke again.
"No!" Xun Changshi refused cheerfully: "I am just a Changshi. I still have to go back to the Lin Mansion."
In fact, he didn't say that Lord Lin stayed at Liu's house yesterday, and he had to go back today to consolidate his favor. This was a big deal, as he also wanted to have a daughter!
Lin Hongle saw through his thoughts at a glance and angrily threw the spoon in his hand directly onto the table.
There was a loud bang, and everyone was stunned.
Shen Yueqiao didn't react, but Xun Changshi's face turned cold. He habitually scolded: "You don't even have any rules! What did I teach you!"
Lin Hongle had tears in his eyes. He had heard about the Lin family's affairs a long time ago. Not only did his father not speak up for him, but he also criticized him. How could he not feel aggrieved?
He stood up in despair. Shen Yueqiao saw his intention and supported him directly. He shook his head and said, "Le'er, you are tired. Go back and rest first."
Lin Hongle shook his head and said: "My dear wife, I..."
"I know what you mean, but the ice is three feet thick and it didn't freeze overnight. You should go back." Shen Yueqiao persuaded.
This kind of father cannot be changed overnight. Only when you become strong can he change his behavior.
Shen Yueqiao just didn't want Lin Hongle to make any regretful decision due to a momentary impulse.
Lin Hongle opened his mouth, but left obediently.
