The original wife who died young and dressed as the villain regent

Shen Chen came over and said with a normal expression: "If he wants to play with the children, he should give birth to one by himself. He is worried about what my family will do."

Lin Xi couldn't even laugh or cry.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the things placed in the corner of the courtyard. They were all gifts brought by them. Lin Xi let go of Si Bao and stood up, saying: "Dabao, take your younger brothers and sisters to play. Take the food with you before we leave." Too far."

"okay!"

Erbao responded first, Dabao did.

He couldn't help it for a long time and wanted to wear new clothes and go for a walk in the village.

Who says their family can't afford new clothes? They already have them, and they look so good.

Er Bao happily pulled San Bao and Si Bao out. Dabao looked at Shen Chen hesitantly and followed.

Lin Xi went over to put away the gifts and put all the food in the kitchen. The things Wang Shou had brought with him could be kept in the house for later use.

Seeing that Shen Chen hadn't left, Lin Xi said by the way: "The family affairs are now over. Shen Chen, after half a month, I took a look and found that we only have twelve taels of silver left. Fortunately, we will still have income in the future. I won’t have to worry about celebrating the New Year this year.”

Shen Chen hummed and looked around to find an ax to chop wood.

"But," Lin Xi changed his voice and said, "Today the village chief asked Zhang Ze to study and reminded me. After the New Year, do we also have to give Dabao away?"

Shen Chen said calmly: "After the New Year, Dabao will be seven years old, which is the right age. Don't worry, I have already found a suitable school and teacher."

"As long as you know what's going on, I will set aside money for Dabao's education." Lin Xi felt relieved.

All in all, when it comes to studying, Shen Chen is not only a little more experienced than her, but she still doesn't mess around.

…

In the evening, because she was too full from lunch, Lin Xi made some casual dinner, including fried pork with mushrooms, braised cabbage with vermicelli and egg soup.

Then we boil water early, and the family washes up and gets ready for bed.

Dabao washed slowly, and after his younger brothers and sisters had finished washing and got into bed, he took his own small basin and went out to pour water. He didn't leave even after pouring, lingering around Lin Xi and Shen Chen.

Lin Xi, no matter how sleepy and confused she was, noticed it. She reached out and asked Dabao to sit down, "Dabao, do you have something to say?"

Dabao looked at Shen Chen hesitantly, then looked at Lin Xi, and said, "Today, I also heard that brother Zhang Ze is going to take the merit examination."

Shen Chen paused.

Lin Xi said: "Dabao, what do you think after listening to this?"

Dabao said without hesitation: "I also want to take the exam for merit."

Lin Xi was not surprised by this.

In the original book, Dabao, Erbao and Sanbao were originally destined to enter the court. When she was a child, she wanted to take the imperial examination, which she thought was normal.

Shen Chen suddenly said: "No."

Lin Xi and Dabao both looked at Shen Chen.

Shen Chen looked calm and said: "After the new year, you should go to school and gain enlightenment. But dad doesn't want you to take the exam for merit."

"Why?"

Lin Xi and Dabao asked together.

Dabao was "as expected" disappointed, while Lin Xi was surprised.

Shen Chen poured the water from the basin for soaking his feet, and said in a low and calm voice, "Dabao, taking the exam for merit is not just a matter of three words, nor is it as easy as you think. It takes decades to pass the exam from local to Beijing, and in the end it is not You will definitely hit it, and you may even die on the way."

Dabao was stunned when he heard this.

Lin Xi hesitated before speaking: "Shen Chen, you've said it before, don't scare the children..."

Shen Chen looked at her quickly, his eyes sharp: "I never said that it would be very dangerous for Dabao to take the exam. This is not a world suitable for being an official."

Lin Xi thought about it, and it made sense.

According to the plot of the original book, the heroine has probably been reborn at this time. In a few years, the rebels will rebel and the court will change. It will indeed be chaotic and dangerous. Considering Dabao's age, it is really not suitable at that time. Original The fate of Dabao in the book is indeed tragic.

Lin Xi instantly changed sides: "Dabao, Aunt Lin agrees with your father. In this way, you study first and talk about other things later."

Dabao lowered his head in despair, "Yes, Dabao will."

Lin Xi coaxed him to go back to sleep and said to Shen Chen, "What you said is too harsh. At least give Dabao some time to understand and accept."

Shen Chen said nothing.

Lin Xi yawned and was about to go back to the house when he suddenly stopped.

"Shen Chen, how do you know so clearly?"

She didn't agree with Dabao taking the same old path because of the plot of the original book. What was Shen Chen's reason for?

Lin Xi thought of a possibility and turned around suddenly.

Shen Chen stood at the foot of the steps, a shadow shrouded him, and Lin Xi couldn't see his expression clearly.

Lin Xi thought in horror, and Shen Chen objected. Could it be that he already knew his fate and was reborn?

After a while, she heard Shen Chen say: "In the past few years, I have been to many places and am familiar with the situation."

situation.

Is this a word that he, a hunter in a mountain village, can use?

Having a good relationship with the Yamen, being very skilled, knowing a lot, and possessing a wealth of knowledge, no matter how much he thought about it, Lin Xi felt like he was equipped for a powerful minister.

"What's wrong?" Shen Chen said.

Lin Xi swallowed and said: "...It's nothing, I'm just curious. So what, I'll go to sleep first."

She immediately went into the house and closed the door.

If Shen Chen was reborn...this would be a dead end for her.

No, no, I'm not sure and can't test it. If it's true and she and Shen Chen break the window paper, her situation will be even more embarrassing.

Outside, Shen Chen glanced at Lin Xi's door and then entered his own room.

…

Because of the speculation about rebirth, when Shen Chen drew the earth dragon drawing again, Lin Xi became more and more frightened.

Listen to what Shen Chen said, Earth Dragon is used by dignitaries. How could he know this? Did he use it in his previous life?

Then she asked powerful ministers to approve memorials, draw pictures and write words for her, chop firewood, wash dishes, and boil water for cleaning. Isn't it too bold?

"What do you see me doing?"

Shen Chen asked suddenly, frowning slightly and feeling a little confused.

Lin Xi shook his head like a rattle and said attentively: "Are you tired? Do you want to eat something or drink some water? How about I cook your favorite dish for you tonight? I will boil water tonight and you can rest."

Shen Chen's eyes were a little strange and he said, "No need."

There was no need for Lin Xi to turn around and get into the kitchen.

There was a cry outside: "Brother Shen, I'm coming!"

Shen Chen put down his pen and was about to get up when Lin Xi ran out, "I'll come, I'll come!"

Shen Chen paused in his steps and his expression became even more subtle.

The one who came was Wang Shou. He had been here every day for the past two days, either bringing food or toys. He succeeded in impressing the children.

Lin Xi asked curiously: "You have nothing to do? Just go back and forth and it will be gone in a day. Doesn't it hinder your work?"

Wang Shou's attitude towards her was not warm, but he was polite, "I work as a blacksmith. I am free during this period and there is no one at home. By the way, where are the children? I brought sugar-coated haws."
