dawn of dynasty

Chapter 4 Family
In this world, in addition to heroic spirits, there are also various extraordinary beings who possess extraordinary powers - in fact, extraordinary beings have existed since ancient times, while heroic spirits and lairs were only born in the past few hundred years.

About the same time as the Age of Discovery in this world.

Here, extraordinary people are called "revelation ones", the so-called enlightened people.

Different countries have different apocalypses. For example, in the West there are mages, swordsmen, knights, priests, etc., in the East there are ninjas, onmyojis, and in South Asia there are witch masters, witchcraft masters, etc.

In Tianxia, ​​there are four main types, Confucianism, Taoism, monks and warriors, and there are further subdivisions.

The Apocalypse not only masters extraordinary power, but can also recruit and command heroic spirits. In Shen Guanye's view, he is actually the hero of this world.

Zhou Chongzong was a level 2 warrior. Although Wang Erlei had a backer, he would never dare to be presumptuous in front of a warrior.

Sure enough, under Zhou Chongzong's implicitly angry gaze, Wang Er laughed sarcastically a few times and surrendered.

"Director Zhou, why are you here? I didn't do anything. I just came to remind Mrs. Shen not to forget to repay the debt Master Shen owes. I'm leaving now."

"and many more!"

Shen Zhizhu called out to the other party, and then briefly and concisely told what had just happened.

She spoke clearly and thought clearly, and although she spoke fast, it was not too fast for people to understand. Therefore, Zhou Chongzong soon understood, and his expression suddenly became colder.

"Is that right?"

"Wang Erlei, I hope you can figure it out. The promised monthly interest rate has been changed to half-monthly interest rate. This is fraud. Don't think about using magic to change the contract. All our security forces have is the means to confirm the authenticity."

"I...Zhou Suo, maybe I remembered it wrong. I'll go back and look at the contract carefully."

In the end, Wang Erlei gave in.

He has a backer behind him, but in the final analysis he is just a gangster leader, but he does not dare to contradict an apocalypse, not to mention that the apocalypse is also the branch director of the public security station, and he is in charge of him.

In fact, if Mr. Shen hadn't become a living dead and had his boss's signal, he wouldn't have provoked the Shen family.

Several rogues left in despair.

Zhou Chongzong then turned his attention to Shen Guanye and the others, smiled at them, and then said to An: "Sister-in-law, let me see Brother Shen. By the way, this is the wild ginseng I just got."

Zhou Chongzong showed the gift box in his hand.

"I'll make some ginseng soup for Brother Shen to drink then."

Anshi had already stood up and walked to the threshold. Hearing this, he said, "Put it away quickly. I can't accept such a valuable thing."

"Sister-in-law, why are you being polite to me? Brother Shen's injury requires some ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. Put it away quickly. I'll go see Brother Shen."

Zhou Chongzong said as he put the ginseng in his hand into the hand of a servant girl and entered the house.

An had no choice but to have her things put away, and her husband really couldn't live without them.

Zhou Chongzong was busy with official duties, so he only sat for a while and then left.

On behalf of the Shen family, Shen Guanye stood up to see the person off. After watching the person turn the corner of the alley, he turned back to the courtyard.

The air was filled with the fragrance of medicine, and the medicine he bought in the morning had already been taken.

The rain has stopped now, and the remaining rainwater on the tiles drips from time to time, splashing transparent ripples in the small puddles on the bluestone platform. These are small puddles created by decades of rain.

In the restaurant, lunch has been placed on the century-old nanmu table.

There are not many dishes and they are plain. The biggest meat dish is the smoked roast bought by Shen Guanye.

Smoked roast is braised meat, and Shen Guanye bought pork head and beef.

He liked eating braised food before time travel, and the braised food of this era uses sufficient ingredients and takes a long time to braise. All the raw materials are original, without any additives, and it tastes even more fragrant.

So even if the Shen family was in trouble and had to cut down on food and clothing, Shen Guanye would still go to Wang Fugui's smoked barbecue stall every now and then to buy some smoked barbecue.

Although there are many stalls selling smoked barbecue in Hongdong County, Wang Fugui's is the only one. The business is very good, and I can't buy it even if I go there late.

Because of this incident, Shen Zhizhu ignored her a lot.

On the contrary, his mother didn't say anything. Anshi never beat or scolded him.

However, after scolding, even after buying it, Shen Zhizhu didn't miss a bite.

"Shen Guanye, tell me the truth, where did the money come from? Is the investment really reliable? You were deceived just now, so why don't you invest again? Why don't you have a good memory?"

As soon as Shen Guanye sat down, Shen Zhizhu said seriously.

Although Shen Guanye directly took out 1 taels of silver notes before, he had just pulled out a big basket, and now the scene was so similar to before, Shen Zhizhu was really worried.

Before Shen Guanye could answer, there was a "bah" sound, and Anshi gently slapped her chopsticks on the table. "Have a meal."

Shen Zhizhu was a little unhappy, but still kept his mouth shut.

After dinner, Shen Guanyu went to dance with swords and guns.

He was stimulated by Wang Erlei today, so he might have a good time practicing.Shen Zhizhu returned to the room.

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

"Who?"

"Third sister, it's me."

"come in."

Shen Guanye entered the room, and Shen Zhizhu looked at him with a sneer.

"Why, are you here specifically to scold you? I don't dare to scold you, Master Shen."

Shen Guanyequan pretended not to hear and handed over the things in his hands.

"Third sister, this is the gift I bought for you."

Shen Zhizhu looked at him in surprise and struggled to open the outer packaging.

""Modern Inorganic Chemistry"? Where did you get it?"

Shen Zhizhu asked while looking through the pages, with a surprised tone.

This is a series of books that has just been translated and printed by Tianxia Bookstore. Not only is it expensive, but it is also difficult to buy. Shen Zhizhu has wanted to buy a set for a long time, but has been unable to achieve his wish.

"I paid attention when I passed by the bookstore in the morning and happened to see it."

Shen Guanye had a gentle smile on his face, not at all angry because Shen Zhizhu had stabbed him with words several times.

It's not that he likes hot faces but cold butts, it's just that he understands why Shen Zhizhu has such an attitude towards him.

Patriarchal.

Neither Father Shen nor Mother Shen were considered incompetent parents, but due to the limitations of the times, it was inevitable to favor sons over daughters.

This can be seen from the gender and age of Shen Guanye and his five siblings.

The eldest daughter, Shen Zhimei, is 22 years old.

The second daughter, Shen Zhilan, is 21 years old.

The third daughter, Shen Zhizhu, is 20 years old.

The eldest son, Shen Guanye, is 19 years old.

The youngest son, Shen Guanyu, is 16 years old.

The first four children, all only one year apart in age, were just clenching their teeth and holding their breath while giving birth. They did not relax until the eldest son was born.

It just happened later, so Shen Guanyu's age was 16.

In any era, pregnancy is an extremely difficult and dangerous matter. However, in order to give birth to her eldest son as soon as possible, An's almost non-stop birth of four children was evident how much she valued Shen Guanye, her eldest son.

Preference for boys over girls is inevitable.

Shen Guanye's eldest sister and second sister are nothing. They are typical old-era boudoir women. Even if they were unfairly treated by their parents, they never thought of resisting. They are gentle, kind, and have a cowardly temper. They are obviously optimistic about Shen Guanye's future. It's good to have a younger brother who wants to inherit the family business and be the lintel of the family.

But Shen Zhizhu is one of the few women in this era who has a spirit of resistance. She wants to be strong and loves to pinch points.It's normal to feel resentful and dislike Shen Guanye.

In fact, not only Shen Zhizhu, but also Shen Guanye could feel that even Shen Guanyu, his younger brother, was not really close to him.Because of their two sons, Father Shen and Mother Shen obviously valued him more.

Because of this, the five children of the Shen family are actually vaguely related to each other.

Shen Guanye obviously has a better relationship with the eldest sister and second sister, while Shen Guanyu is obviously closer to Shen Zhizhu.

Now that he understands the reason, Shen Guanye will naturally not be angry with Shen Zhizhu - as a person with vested interests, wouldn't he be despised if he still behaves like he has taken advantage of him?

Furthermore, before time travel, he also had an older sister, and the relationship between the siblings was very good.

Now that I have traveled through time, I naturally hope that the relationship between brothers and sisters will be harmonious.

The original person was young and immature, unable to lose face to improve the relationship, and did not have the ability. However, Shen Guanye was different. He had many ways.
