Chapter 16 Weirdly makes sense

 Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

 Early in the morning, a carriage was speeding along the official road.

 Shen Er was driving the carriage, while Li Xiuniang and Shen Nian were sitting in the carriage.

 The car was simply decorated with soft cushions and pillows.

Shen Nian leaned back lazily, eating snacks one after another, looking quite comfortable.

Li Xiuniang was a little worried.

“Sister Nian, I heard that there is an assessment required for admission. Brother Man has never studied seriously. What should I do if I can’t get in?”

The eldest and second child have learned Chinese characters at home and have never been to a school. This was the first time for her and her husband to send their children to an academy, so they were quite uneasy.

Shen Er, who was outside the carriage, heard this and raised his voice: "What are you afraid of? Our brother Man is so smart. It's their loss if the school doesn't accept him."

Shen Nian liked the confident look of his family. He clapped his hands, shook off the snack residue on them, and said slowly: "My father is right. If it doesn't work, I will hire a teacher to teach Brother Man. This is no better than going to school to compete with a group of people." A gentleman is much better.”

 As long as you have money, nothing is a problem!

Li Xiuniang poked her forehead lightly and said funnyly: "Why do you say so arrogantly? Is Mr. so easy to ask for?"

Shen Nian shook his head, "As long as the money is in place, anything can be discussed."

Shen Er: "..." It makes sense!

Going to the county, they left the carriage and the three of them walked towards the academy.

 Dong dong dong!

Shen Er stepped forward and knocked on the door.

 A boy dressed as a servant opened the door and looked at the Shen family, "Who are you looking for?"

Shen Er stepped forward and said with a smile: "There is a child at home who wants to study. We want to visit the master of the academy. Please let me know."

The young man looked at the linen clothes on the Shen family and curled his lips, "My master no longer accepts students, you can go."

Shen Er felt uncomfortable when he saw the disdainful look in his eyes, "You little boy, how did you know that the master doesn't accept students without asking?"

The boy didn't answer and rolled his eyes, "My master accepts students for two taels of silver a month. Can you guys afford it?"

He has seen a lot of people like this in front of him and thought that a few copper coins would be a big deal. In fact, hehe...

  Shen Er: "You..."

Shen Nian took his arm and glanced at the boy in the academy, his eyes slightly cold.

  quickly looked away. Although he was smiling, there was a hint of mockery in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

“Dad, a guard dog is a biting beast, and what kind of good owner can it be? If Brother Man enters this academy, will you feel at ease?”

When the academy boy heard this, his face turned green and he said angrily: "Who are you calling a beast?"

  Shen Nian sneered, "Whoever is responsible is the one who speaks."

Not wanting to waste time with the minions, the three of them quickly left the academy.

“Alas!” Shen Er sighed. He didn’t blame his daughter, but he felt that today’s reading environment was puzzling.

 Academy should be a pure place.

 But this…

"Dad, if this academy is not available, there are other academies. Let's just look for it slowly." Shen Nian comforted.

Shen Er glanced at his daughter and couldn't help but said: "There is only one academy like this in the county."

Shen Nian: "??!"

“Fifth uncle is in this academy?”

Shen Er nodded, "Yes."

"Tsk, no wonder I haven't been admitted to the scholar examination until now." Shen Nian clicked his tongue and shook his head in confusion.

This academy is busy making money, how can it have the time to teach and educate people?

Uncle Shen, who was inexplicably lying on the gun: "..." Is it easy for you to be a scholar?

 Shen Er tapped Shen Nian's forehead, "At least he is your biological uncle, so he can save some face for others."

"Dad, that's not what you said before. You said that the fourth and fifth rooms are one floor away from us." Shen Nian looked at Shen Er with bright eyes.

  Shen Er: “…”

Li Xiuniang pinched Shen Er's arm angrily and twisted it fiercely, "Let you talk nonsense, let's see what Sister Nian has been taught by you."

How can children be taught like that!

Shen Er secretly gasped in pain, with an innocent look on his face.

How does he know how to talk casually? His daughter remembers it so clearly.     "What is my daughter like? My daughter is doing well."

 There was nothing we could do about the academy, so the family of three went to the grain store.

As I was walking, I heard a loud noise in the distance.

“People in front, get out of the way! The horse is out of control, get out of the way!!”

Shen Nian heard the sound and quickly pulled his parents out of the way.

 Looking back, the driver looked familiar. He seemed to be a servant of Zhang Yuan's family.

 The young man struggled to control the carriage, his face turned pale because of fear.

This is a busy city, with stalls and carts on both sides of the road, and countless pedestrians.

The speeding carriage was running amok, and the wailing sound was accompanied by the sounds of various things being hit. It was extremely chaotic...

 Shen Er and Li Xiuniang were protected by Shen Nian, and they were not affected.

  While still in shock, Shen Nian's body swayed and he rushed out.

“Sister Nian—” Shen Er exclaimed.

Just as he was about to rush forward and grab Shen Nian, there was a bang, and the cart next to him was knocked over and almost hit him.

 Just by turning his body sideways, Shen Nian was already sitting on the horse.

The horse noticed that it was getting more irritable, and its hooves rose into the air, cocked very high.

 “Ah!” The people around him screamed in horror, too frightened to look further.

 Shen Er and Li Xiuniang's heartbeats almost stopped, and their minds went blank.

 “Daughter!” Shen Er shouted in a stern voice.

"Dad, don't come over, I'll be fine." Shen Niannian replied without replying.

She was not panicked, her slender body sitting on the horse remained motionless, and she used her supernatural powers to calm the frantic horse beneath her.

 The breath that makes the horse feel particularly comfortable spreads throughout the body...

Everyone saw that the horse, which seemed to be running wildly in the next second, put down its front hooves and gradually became docile.

Shen Nian smiled with satisfaction, patted the horse's back, and praised, "It's so good."

 The carriage stopped, and the pedestrians breathed a sigh of relief and clapped their hands.

 “You’re so good, girl!”

 “Women are not inferior to men.”

 “It was too dangerous just now…”

“Thanks to this girl, otherwise the children in front would be in trouble.”

 …

  Shen Er and Li Xiuniang came to their senses and trotted towards the middle of the road.

"Sister Nian, are you okay?" Li Xiuniang looked at Shen Nian up and down with a worried look on her face.

Shen Nian had already jumped off the horse. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "It's okay. I'm fine."

 Shen Er's heartbeat was beating wildly, and he was terrified.

 For the first time, he turned cold to Shen Nian, "Sister Nian, don't you know the danger?"

Shen Nian was stunned.

 She was used to being alone in the last days and forgot that she was no longer alone.

"...Dad, I know I was wrong." Shen Nian lowered his eyebrows and apologized obediently.

After finishing speaking, he muttered unconvincedly, "I have a sense of propriety and nothing will happen to me. I can't watch this horse go crazy in the market."

Shen Er already loved his daughter, so he felt soft after hearing her apology. The next second he heard her muttering, knowing that this girl was wild at heart, and he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

"you…"
