After being read into his mind, he became the beloved uncle of the country.

Chapter 39 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron
  "very good!"

"Tell me what you think!"

Shen Shen sat up straight, feeling more satisfied with his eldest son. Although he felt that his son was not very filial before, at this moment, the son can consider family ties instead of simple interests, which shows that his teachings are still somewhat effective.

"Father, if on my uncle's side, all the girls of the right age in the Li family find good families, wouldn't this uncle's plan be self-defeating?"

This move can be called a blow to the bottom of the cauldron!

As juniors, it is quite difficult for them to make the elder Li Yifu change his mind. Moreover, since this person has this idea, even if he can block it for a while, he will not be able to block it for the rest of his life.

That being the case, let's deal with the people who may cause trouble.

The chess piece in Li Yifu's hand is a girl from the Li family.

Then, if all his chess pieces are taken away, then Li Yifu can only abandon his pieces and admit defeat.

"good idea!"

"Just, do you think this is easy to do?"

"Do you know what's going on in your grandmother's family? How many girls of the right age are there?"

"Son, let someone check it out tomorrow!"

Shen Zhengqiao felt that his old father was quite satisfied with his performance, so he naturally had to show more.

"After you find out, tell me!"

Shen Shen waved his hand, indicating that the topic was over.

Shen Zhengqiao said goodbye and left.

When he got out of the yard, he shook his fist violently, and it was done!

He finally succeeded in making his old father look at him differently.

Of course, you can’t be happy too early, you have to keep working hard!

At least, we have to get this thing done nicely first!
  "Zhao Xiang, I reward you!"

After being appreciated by his old father and being assigned things to do, Shen Zhengqiao naturally had to thank Zhao Xiang for giving him this opportunity.

In terms of clear rewards and punishments, Shen Zhengqiao is definitely worthy of praise.

He was generous and threw the money bag he carried with him directly to Zhao Xiang. There were more than a dozen taels of scattered silver in it.

"Thank you, Master!"

Zhao Xiang caught the money bag, and the moment he took it, he judged how much money was in it, and he was immediately elated.

"Don't thank me in a hurry. I have an errand tomorrow. I'll do it beautifully for you, young master. Your reward is indispensable!"

"Master, I have something to give you!"

Zhao Xiang didn't hesitate at all.

He himself was Shen Zhengqiao's errand boy. Even if Shen Zhengqiao didn't reward him with anything, he still had to handle his affairs beautifully.

"Go and help the young master to check on the girls in the Li family who are of suitable age to get married. What is their family background and whether they have a sweetheart? Check as much details as possible!"

"By the way, there's no need to worry too much about the ones that look really crooked!"

If you want to marry well, the girl must first be able to do it.

Not to mention marrying high, marrying low depends on whether the other person is willing to marry.

"Master, just watch it!"

Zhao Xiang is very good at inquiring about information.

As for asking for information about the girl's family, although it is a bit troublesome, it is not too troublesome.

As long as enough money is given, the women near the Li family, especially the matchmakers, can find out what colors the girls of the Li family are wearing under their clothes.

Of course, Zhao Xiang would not be so timid.

After sending Shen Zhengqiao back to his room, Zhao Xiang returned to the side room where the boy rested. In the same room with him was Lin Ming, Shen Zhengqiao's companion.

Compared with Zhao Xiang's grasp of the present, Lin Ming is rather ambitious.

Like Zhao Xiang, Lin Ming is also a son of the Shen family, and has been working as an errand in the Shen family for several generations.

But when he arrived at Lin Ming's place, he had one idea: he didn't want to continue to be a slave, he wanted to quit his citizenship and become a master.

As a reading boy, Lin Ming has a pretty good talent for reading.

As long as he can make a splash and get the appreciation of the head of the Shen family and allow him to take part in the imperial examination, then he can get rid of his slave status and become a citizen. People’s nationality, that is, good nationality.

According to Dayong's law, anyone taking the imperial examination must be from a good academic background.

"Zhao Xiang, this is wrong for you!"

"As the young master's errand boy, you should urge the young master to study hard instead of fighting cocks and walking birds all day long."

Seeing Zhao Xiang coming back so late, Lin Ming just said that he had accompanied Shen Zhengqiao to go away from business again.

"Lin Ming, you are the young master's companion. Shouldn't it be your duty to advise the young master?"

Zhao Xiang squinted at Lin Ming, who was always picking on him, feeling that there was something wrong with his mind.

Lin Ming wanted to change his background and get rid of his slave status. He had high aspirations, and Zhao Xiang also admired and even supported him.

For this reason, Zhao Xiang helped Lin Ming avoid some unnecessary trouble.

But looking at it now, his good intentions were regarded as weak and easy to bully!
  "I persuaded you!"

Lin Ming naturally would not admit his dereliction of duty.

"But, you spend more time with the young master, so you have to give me some advice!"

"If the young master fails in his homework, we will all be punished."

"I really can't help it, I'm just a boy, running errands!"

Zhao Xiang simply refused.

The young master is not a student. Zhao Xiang has noticed this very early.

But, this young master is generous and has some skills in dealing with people. If he inherits the family business in the future, he may not be able to make the Shen family stronger.

There are thousands of roads in the world, and studying is not the only way.

"There's no way to make a fool of yourself!"

Hearing Zhao Xiang's outright rejection again, Lin Ming glared angrily.

Zhao Xiang also didn't want to vent his anger on the other party, there was no need.

Lin Ming is a typical person with high vision and low hand.

They want to change their background and get rid of their slave status through studying, but they are unwilling to give up the benefits of having a accompanying boy to study with them. They cannot work hard and just want to soar into the sky while studying with their young master.

How can this be?

Even if you have some skills in reading, unless the teacher of the Shen family has been kicked by a donkey, how could he belittle the nephew of the master in front of the master, but praise a boy who is studying with him?
  What's more, Lin Ming's ability is only like that.

I have read a few books and can write a few words, but I really can’t get the words right.

I am reluctant to invest, but I still want to change my background. Where in the world can such a good thing happen?
  ……

Early the next morning.

Zhao Xiang got up early and was about to go find someone to do the things arranged by Shen Zhengqiao, but he was grabbed by Lin Ming again.

"Is there something wrong with you?"

"The young master has arranged things for me. If I'm delayed, I'll tell you, you can't afford the consequences!"

Zhao Xiang was speechless.

How did he meet such a companion?

"Today, the young master should go to school!"

"You can't go to the young master!"

Lin Ming looked at Zhao Xiang seriously.

Zhao Xiang was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Just as Cuiyu came to find him, Zhao Xiang quickly shook off Lin Ming's hand.

"Little sister, why are you looking for me so early?"

Zhao Xiang didn't think that her sister simply missed him as her second brother. Something must have happened. Maybe there was some order from the seventh girl.

The water flows to the lower places, and the people go to the higher places.

He, Zhao Xiang, also has a progressive heart.
