Patriarch, he doesn't want to take the imperial examinations

Chapter 18

When Meng Zhen and his sons rushed to the West Second Courtyard, Meng Yuan was still crying hard.

Nurse Song put the child into Mengzhen's hands, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "Master, take a quick look, what's wrong with the child, she's been crying all the time."

How could Meng Zhen know that, on weekdays, he was so absorbed in his books that he spent far less time raising the child than Nurse Song, and he knew very little about the child's situation.

He walked back and forth on the ground with the child in his arms, but he couldn't coax him back, so he could only say: "Please come doctor!"

"Father, show me." Meng Qing stretched out his hand, and Meng Zhen gave the child into his hands. Meng Qing hugged the child and patted it gently, but no matter how he tried to comfort him, the child's crying couldn't stop. Cry more fiercely.

Meng Qing was so anxious that he was sweating profusely: "What's the matter, no matter how coaxed, it won't work."

Several other brothers also came over one after another to coax him, but to no avail.Just when everyone was at a loss, the child's crying gradually became quieter.

Everyone was overjoyed and finally took a breath.

However, this breath has not yet stopped smoothly, and Meng Qing's words made everyone's nerves tense again.

"Father, why is fifth brother not moving?" Meng Qing hugged the child to Meng Zhen, and Meng Zhen watched carefully, only to see that the child's expression was stiff, his eyes were rolled up, and his mouth was slightly opened, as if he was possessed by something evil.

"Meng Yuan!" Meng Zhen yelled at the child a few times, the child's eyes were empty, staring at the beam, motionless.

"Ah..." At this time, a woman next to Nurse Song suddenly cried out, "The child must have had an evil wind when he was watching the moon outside, so please hurry up and ask a mage to exorcise the evil."

"Stop talking nonsense, you old lady, where is the evil spirit coming from such a well-behaved family!" Meng Hong took the lead in scolding.

Meng Zhen took the child from Meng Qing, sat on the edge of the bed, held the child in his arms and patted it gently, the child slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When the child was fast asleep, he lightly put the child back into the cot, and the moment the child had just touched the bed, suddenly there was a "wow" and weeping at the top of their lungs, everyone's bodies couldn't help shaking, and just fell to the bed. One of the hearts of the earth was lifted up again.

The child cried so fiercely that his voice became hoarse. Mengzhen couldn't bear it, so he had to hold him up and comfort him again, and asked Nurse Song: "What's the matter with this child? He just fell asleep, why did you put him in the bed? Not happy anymore."

Nurse Song said nervously: "My lord, the young master was born restless and woke up at the slightest movement. Normally, I would fall asleep after feeding and coaxing, but tonight I don't know what's wrong. I was at a loss for what to do, I didn't know what happened to the child. Probably..." She clenched her hands, trembling, "I probably missed his mother."

Mengzhen didn't know whether he listened to her words, just hugged the child back and forth to coax him, and soon the child closed his eyes and fell asleep again, but when he put the child back on the bed again, the child made a loud "wow". cry.

At this time, Meng really had to believe what Nanny Song said, maybe the child really missed his mother.

After tossing and tossing like this three or four times, until half an hour passed, Mengzhen put the child back on the bed again, this time the child did not cry, his eyes were tightly closed, and the baby was sleeping very peacefully.

"Huh..." Everyone heaved a sigh of relief in unison, as if relieved of a heavy burden.

After the child didn't make any changes, Mengzhen stood up straight, greeted his sons and was about to leave when Ah Qing rushed in with the doctor.

"Master, the doctor is here!" Ah Qing's hasty voice resounded throughout the room, and Meng Qing hurriedly stopped him, "When will you change your reckless temper, the child just fell asleep and woke you up to comfort him .”

Ah Qing saw Meng Qing's dark face, looking fierce, as if he was about to eat him, so she quickly covered her mouth and hid behind Meng Zhen, not daring to say a word again.

The invited doctor was surnamed Qin, and Meng Zhen said politely: "The child has just fallen asleep, and should be fine, please trouble the doctor for your hard work."

He meant that the child was fine and the doctor could go back.But Dr. Qin was called up in the middle of the night and ran so hard, he still hadn't breathed a sigh of relief, how could he just leave like this.

He walked to the bed and saw that the child was sleeping soundly. He put his hand on the pulse and checked for his pulse. He opened his eyelids and looked, and saw that the child was indeed safe, so he was relieved.

Meng Zhen hurriedly asked Ah Qing to pour him a glass of water, then gave him some silver taels, said a few polite words, and then politely sent him away.

After such a tossing, Mengzhen fell asleep when most of the night was over.

He closed his eyes and thought, taking care of children is really tiring, even more tiring than his reading.

In the next few days, he went to school as usual. Mr. Zheng still arranged four essays and test post poems for the students to practice writing every day. Meng Zhen was very attentive and asked Mr. Zheng and Deng Bowen for advice when he didn't understand. After coming back, the articles he made have made great progress compared with the previous ones.

Even Mr. Zheng, who has always been strict in teaching, was full of praise for him. Today Mr. Zheng finished grading the test papers and asked him to come to him, saying: "Well, yes, you have made great progress. Have you passed the county and government examinations for this article?" any problem."

Meng Zhen took the test paper from him, and said in return: "Thank you for the compliment, Master, the student's grades today are all due to the good teaching of the master."

Mrs. Zheng showed a rare smile on his face, saying that although he is a bit older, his attitude of humbly asking for advice and not being ashamed to ask is admirable.

Meng Zhen didn't dare to say it outright, as a student, he had to correct his attitude, no matter how old he was, or his family background, he should ask for advice from anyone who was better than himself, so that he could improve his studies.

After finishing speaking, he handed over an invitation card, "Tomorrow is the student's birthday, and we have a banquet at home. I would like to invite my master to come and have a glass of the student's longevity wine."

Master Zheng accepted the invitation, smiled and said: "Student's birthday, sir must go to dinner." Meng Zhen bowed and returned to his seat with the test paper.

When get out of class was over, the students in the school were almost gone, so he handed the same invitation card to Deng Bowen again.

His sons told him that since he wanted to celebrate his birthday, his wife and classmates were indispensable, and asked him to send an invitation card to each of them in the school, inviting everyone to come and have a good time.

Meng really thought that he was extremely unpopular in the school. Except for Deng Bowen, the other students all avoided him when they saw him, as if they were afraid of catching the plague. Who would dare to accept his invitation, and it would be good if they didn't throw it away for him.

So he only brought two invitations, one for Master Zheng and one for Deng Bowen.

Deng Bowen accepted it happily, and helped him have a happy birthday in advance and a long life.

Meng Zhen felt a little sour, long life, what he wanted was not only long life, he wanted to ascend to immortality, rank among immortals, and live forever.

But when will this happen?

After returning home, just after dinner, he was pushed to bed by his sons, explaining that it was his birthday tomorrow, and they wanted him to rest early so that he would be able to celebrate after getting enough sleep.

Meng Zhen was very helpless, unable to push and push, so he had to rest early according to their wishes.
