Chapter 315 (1/2)

Shen Huanzhi still remembers several big ups and downs in his life. His whole life went to an extreme that he couldn't expect in this field of changes.

He still remembers his childhood ambition, that is, to study and then enter the pilgrimage phase. Of course, this ambition is relatively broad. Most scholars may dream of such a day, but Shen Huanzhi is a little different. As long as he can safely read all his life, it doesn't matter if he can't enter the pilgrimage phase.

In fact, the opportunity for him to be inspirational and stand out came from a girl, Xie Jia Axi, who grew up together since childhood.

The ancestors of the Shen family have been engaged in business for generations, which is actually common in Zhejiang and Hangzhou. In Jiangnan, where business is accessible, there are suddenly rich merchants every day, but more ordinary small asset merchants like the Shen family, who are not poor or rich. They have been operating for generations. The family business of the Shen family did not grow until Shen Huan's father's generation. His father is a rare talent in business, The Shen family lives a prosperous and stable life, and their father has made great contributions.

But it is in such a stable and prosperous family environment with a profound brand of doing business for generations that Shen Huanzhi is a person who can only read and is only willing to read.

Although father Shen did not object, he subconsciously hoped that he could do his best for the family. In fact, he could be promoted to the DPRK, which was another help to the family. But when everything was at the starting point, no one would really support him without scruples. Fortunately, Dongting, the eldest son of the Shen family, has followed his father since childhood. He has a talent for doing business. In this way, Shen's father let him go.

The Shen family's ancestral home is in Yuhang. When Shen Huanzhi accidentally went back to live, he met Jing Yu, the little childe of the Xie family.

At that time, Shen Huanzhi was only five or six years old. Xie Jingyu was four or five years old. A little monkey ruined the Shen family's dealer and asked his elder sister to clean up the mess.

When she first met Xie family ah Xi, Shen Huan felt that she was a very quiet girl. Compared with her naughty brother, she was really pleasant. She didn't talk much, but she was very clever. Her black eyes could understand other people's eyes. There was no special encounter, but Shen Huanzhi remembered the girl.

Shen Huanzhi is a typical scholar, who is polite and self-contained, and has few words. Therefore, he is particularly willing to make friends who don't talk much, but Xie family ah Xi really took his eyes off.

Ah Xi girl is really quiet and pleasant, and she speaks very little to outsiders, but in fact, her playful nature is in the same line with her brother, but she plays with a sense of propriety.

For example, after they get familiar with each other in the future, ah Xi will often come to his house to play. When he is reading, she will quietly entertain herself. After such an hour, she will pull him up and go out for a walk. It is called relaxation. In fact, she is looking for several small wild dolls nearby to play.

Shen Huan Zhi didn't mean to look down on them, but he never liked to waste time with noisy and non reading dolls. Naturally, he didn't know how to integrate, so he was particularly cautious. They were forced by the Xie family's siblings, so he reluctantly fooled around with them.

At first, he was slightly disgusted, but then unconsciously, he played some meaning. Of course, most of this meaning came from ah Xi. Although she would tease him from time to time, she usually stood up to help her when he was depressed or bullied.

It is said that habit becomes natural. When she wanders around, she doesn't feel that when Shen Huanzhi returns to his home in the city, he appreciates a trace of loneliness. In his life experience of reading, he never knows why he is lonely. After walking to the old house, he can no longer concentrate as usual and can't go back to reading books all day.

After sitting for an hour, he would get up spontaneously, but he didn't know where to go, so he had to stay in the yard in a daze. After a few days, he returned to his old house again. The reason is that the old house is quiet, which is more conducive to reading and progress.

Shen Huanzhi has been living in the old house for several years. Except for the new year's festival, he spends almost all his time in the old house. He knows the Xie family like a family.

Ah Xi's grandmother is a kind and strict person. She is very kind to him. She calls him to eat at home almost every day. Of course, the Shen family does not lack meals, but it lacks the comfort and warmth of being with his family. People will cherish this feeling. Shen Huanzhi has been away from his family since childhood, especially lacking this experience, so the Xie family has become his second home, As soon as they arrive at the meal point, they carry rice and vegetables to rub the meal.

The Xie family is not an ordinary family. Their ancestors used to be very prominent and famous in the Jiangnan area. It was only in recent generations that they were not prosperous that they became depressed. Ah Xi's grandmother suffered a lot when she was young, and her second son is now an official in the court. The official career is very smooth, and the life at home is getting better, but the old lady insists on living in the countryside without luxury and pleasure.

This is also a big reason why Shen Huanzhi is willing to get close to them. However, a few years later, master Xie received Jingyu from the Xie family to live in the capital. There are only ah Xi and his grandmother left in the family. Shen Huanzhi consciously is a member of the family and often silently helps his grandparents and grandchildren.

After Xie Jingyu left, ah Xi was often silent for a period of time. Shen Huanzhi knew that she must have a grudge in her heart. The sister and brother were the twins of a mother's compatriots, but they only took one. No one would be comfortable, but there was no way. Since men and women have different points, female dolls are usually wronged.

Shen Huanzhi subconsciously congratulated her for staying, because he didn't want her to go to the capital at all. Once Shen Huanzhi leaked his mouth and asked her if she was very sad. Ah Xi said, ”I still want to be with my grandmother more than going to the capital. She will be alone.”

If you want to stay, it doesn't mean you are willing to stay. These are two concepts. Shen Huanzhi had the idea that you must stand out at that time, because he felt that the Xie family in the capital would not have a proper position for ah Xi. She shouldn't be wronged in such a place. She should have a place where she can stand. He wanted to give it to her.

After that, ah Xi was still a little crazy girl in the countryside, but Shen Huanzhi gradually had his own mind. He began to plan his future life, how to participate in the rural examination, and go to Beijing for the general examination before how old, because he knew that ah Xi would not stay in Yuhang's hometown all her life. When she reached the marriageable age, she would be received in the capital, He wanted to go to Beijing with her at that time.

When reading is purposeful, it will become heavy, but Shen Huan is happy. He doesn't have too many extravagant demands in his limited years of life. When he wants to read, she will accompany him quietly and occasionally pull him out to play. He wants to stand out in the future and give her a due light.

So until he was ten years old, he was forcibly taken away from the old house by his family, and his life with her was no longer sociable.
