    The fourth young master suddenly felt that this boy who was three or four years younger than himself was really a wonderful person.

    Holding his cheeks and thinking for a while, he whispered: "Why don't you apologize to Seventh Miss, this matter is very private."

    Before Shen Mo said anything, Seventh Girl, who had been listening with her ears closed, quit and said sharply: "No! He made me like this, so we can't just let it go."

    The fourth young master also felt that so many people had seen it, and if nothing happened, it would cause people to gossip, and maybe he would even get himself into trouble.  Thinking of this, he winked at Shen Mo and said, "Don't worry, as long as it's not your fault, I will help you talk."

    "Fourth Uncle" Miss Seven pouted aggrievedly.

    The fourth young master looked at the sky outside the corridor, said with a dry smile: "Today is so refreshing." Then he bowed his head and walked to the front, no longer talking to him.

    Passing through several arches, a group of people arrived outside the "Zhonghe Hall" located in the third entrance. The fourth son asked them to wait outside the door, and went in to report by himself.

    This hall is obviously a very important place in the mansion. On the twelve hall doors facing south, there are hollow carvings of "spring, summer, autumn and winter", "fishing, woodcutters, plowing and reading", "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting". The figures are simple in shape and meticulously carved  , making Silence almost unable to take his eyes off it.

    After a while, the four young masters came out and said: "The Eldest Master told you to go in."

    The man then helped Miss Seven out of the cart and led her to the entrance of the hall.  Then she let go, and let her limped in, not taking a step further in by herself.

    Seeing that there was some curiosity about the silence, the fourth young master leaned into his ear and said softly: "Whoever is married will not be allowed to appear on the stage." Then he kindly instructed: "The elder is very powerful, you have to be careful."

    Mo Mo smiled at him and said, "Master Xie for your guidance." After washing all his white clothes, he walked in with his head held high.

    As soon as you enter the door, you will see a sandalwood plaque hanging directly above the flower hall, with four simple and powerful characters "Zhonghe Weiyu" written on it.  The wall under the plaque is elegantly decorated, with the family motto of Zhu Zi written in lines floating on it.  The couplets on both sides are eight gold-plated regular scripts of "Li Xiu Qi Zhi, read the books of sages".

    A table of the Eight Immortals stands in front of the couplets and family mottos, on which is the enshrinement of Confucius.  Sitting on the right side of the table is a middle-aged man with a black gauze Dongpo scarf, a brown cloak with sleeves resembling a Taoist robe, three long beards, and an elegant face.

    Seventh girl knelt in front of him, crying to him.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    This middle-aged man is the owner of the Shen residence, Mr. Shen.  Ordinarily, he shouldn't care about these trivial matters, but for the sake of strict family rules and good family style, starting from his grandfather, he regarded fighting in the clan as an act of humiliating gentleness and humiliating family style, and strictly prohibited it.  Once discovered, the head of the family will handle it himself, and as long as it is found out, he will be expelled from the house, which is very strict.

    If this kind of power is in the hands of others, there will be chaos in the Shen family's gate?  So even though he was quite impatient, he still had to press his temper and ask the ins and outs of the conflict clearly.

    He was getting dizzy from the "Seven Girls" who spoke upside down and spoke Yongchang dialect, when he saw a younger student with delicate features, white teeth and red lips coming in from the door.  He looked only thirteen or fourteen years old. Although the clothes on his body were patched, they were washed clean and neatly dressed, which made people look more and more refreshed.

    What's more valuable is that this child walks dignifiedly and behaves well. At first glance, he looks like a well-educated person, and he must be from a scholarly family.

    Comparing with the Seventh Girl who is kneeling on the ground and fat as a pig, it is like the sky and the earth, the snow and the mud.  Unknowingly, the old man committed the problem of judging people by their appearance, and he was inclined to this younger generation in his heart.

    After Shen Mo came in, he lifted the lower part of his robe and saluted respectfully to the statue of Confucius on the table.  This move made Master Shen feel better.  After paying respects to Confucius, Mo Mo turned to Master Shen again, and said loudly: "Tong Sheng Mo Mo, I have met Master Shen."

    Master Shen hurriedly laughed and said: "Please hurry up, there is no need to be formal." This is not because Master Shen is approachable and reluctant to kneel in silenceIn this era, kneeling is a necessary etiquette to distinguish between superiors and inferiors, and to establish the majesty of superiors.  Especially in a big family like the Shen family, it can't be sloppy at all.

    The key reason why he was not worshiped by Shen Mo lies in the word 'Tong Sheng' in Shen Mo's mouth.  What is Tongsheng?  It¡¯s not that I¡¯m young, please take care of me or something, but I¡¯m showing a kind of identity A scholar who has taken the county examination, government examination, and hospital examination, but has not obtained the qualifications of a student, no matter whether he has yellow hair or white hair  Cang Cang is called Tongsheng.

    This often gives people an illusion, as if "Tongsheng" is a loser, a loser.A synonym for egg, its social status is not much better than that of a beggar.  But in fact, as long as they can participate in the scientific examination, it means that the children are innocent, have no male offenders, no remarried daughters in three generations, have received formal education, and are serious scholars.

    Among the scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce of the Ming Dynasty, 'scholars' were highly respected and treated preferentially, and belonged to the ruling class.  Although "Tongsheng" is only the bottom of this class, and his living conditions are likely to be worse than that of peasants, this does not hinder his superior political status.

    It's not difficult to understand Although he is down and out now, who knows if the next subject will be reborn?  So everyone has a tacit understanding of the scale, and we hope to meet each other in the future.  Over time, a rule has been formed for Tong Sheng, except for formal occasions, kneeling is exempt if you can.

    Shen Mo was supposed to pass the childbirth examination last year, but had to give up halfway because of his mother's serious illness This is not a shameful thing, on the contrary it is very glorious, it is a filial piety that everyone praises.

    But after all, he has passed the county school exam, which can be regarded as having taken the Tongsheng examination, so he is naturally qualified to call himself a Tongsheng, which is the least shameful kind.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Hearing the sound, Shen Mo stood up happily, bowed deeply, and said, "Master Shen Mo, the late student, has met Mr. Shen."

    "Excuse me." Master Shen said with a chuckle, "You are Mr. Shen's son, right?"

    "Responding to the Elder Master, the student is right." Mo Mo said politely: "My father often said that the Elder Meng took my father and son in when they were in trouble. My father and son have nothing to repay, but only five feelings"

    Master Shen waved his hands, pretending to be displeased, and said, "Aren't you the children of the Shen family? It's alien to say so." Since Shen He's father's generation, the family has been separated. In fact, they can't be regarded as a family, but  There is nothing wrong with talking about intimacy.

    Seeing what they were talking about, Miss Seven felt that this matter was going to be obscene, so she couldn't help but interjected: "Grandpa, he is the one who caused my granddaughter to be like this."¡ª¡ª
