Chapter 315

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.

The reason is ah Xi's birthday. She wants to go to Hangzhou to see if she has any requirements. Shen Huanzhi will not refuse. Naturally, she will find a way to meet her. Ah Xi is a genuine official lady, but she has never really walked out of the small county of Yuhang. It's very distressing to say that the hatchback is closed, and Shen Huanzhi wants to take her out to have a look.

So the two and a half-year-old cubs began to think about how to go to Hangzhou. The most important thing was Shen Huanzhi's thinking, because he was hot-blooded for a moment and promised her that he could take her out. In fact, he was not prepared at all.

Of course, the family won't allow the two little dolls to go out alone, and Shen Huanzhi doesn't want the family to know. He feels that although people here don't pay more attention to ethics than people in the big world, there are always differences between men and women. In case it hinders ah Xi's reputation, he doesn't want to have anything to do with Xie jiapan before everything is fixed, which seems that he has ulterior motives.

The pride and selfishness of the young man contributed to this adventure. Shen Huanzhi felt that it was not difficult to go because he had been to Hangzhou and had silver in his hand. His eldest brother's father was away, and no one could remember to care about him. Moreover, he wanted to be alone with her to meet her wishes. He felt extremely proud.

The trip to Hangzhou went smoothly as scheduled. Ah Xi was very happy. When she was happy, he was happy. He just didn't expect that joy begets sorrow. When they went home, they met their eldest brother to see him. It was so leaked.

The family thought he was studying hard in the old house and working hard, but he didn't want to play. It's OK to play. He also took other people's female dolls away. It's like a dandy in the city. He doesn't want to make progress. He plays around all day, which also affects the reputation of other people's girls. In case something happens on the road, how can he explain to the Xie family.

This is a big matter related to ethics. The eldest brother is like a father. He should be strictly disciplined. Shen Huanzhi tasted the taste of being subjected to the board for the first time. The unspeakable pain made him deeply understand a truth. When he can't cover up a piece of heaven and earth for ah Xi, he'd better do nothing. If he exceeds his power, he will only harm others and himself.

As a matter of course, he could not continue to live in the old house, nor could he continue to meet ah Xi. His reading career was questioned, and his family no longer trusted him as before.

It doesn't matter. Nothing can stop him from trying to study hard. When he was 11, he became a scholar. His next goal is to raise people. He only felt that time was not enough and life was not fast enough. During the days of waiting for the rural examination, ah Xi was taken to the capital.

Ah Xi has gone to the capital. He is not even a person. How can he go to Beijing for a test? At least one or two years, the Xie family will arrange for her marriage. A year or two is the biggest obstacle for him at this stage.

He finally failed to overcome this barrier because his eldest brother died of illness.

The death of the eldest son of the Shen family is a great blow to the Shen family. For Shen Huanzhi, it is a disaster of destruction. All his life plans will fail, and all his efforts will be wasted. His future is full of reluctance, and his hope becomes slim. He can't give ah Xi everything.

The Shen family lost their eldest son, and Shen Huanzhi had to bear the burden of inheriting the family property. After a period of confusion, Shen Huanzhi perked up again. While learning business from his father, he continued to study. His father was still young, and he could use this time to complete his dream.

But God didn't obey people's wishes. Not long after the eldest son died, master Shen also died.

Some series of accidents are too heavy for a young man. Before he has time to prepare everything, he will be crushed by the burden that suddenly overwhelms him. He feels that he can't bear such a heavy burden, nor can he bear ah Xi's future.

When he was confused and suffering, grandma Xie gave him some advice, which temporarily lit up the first step of his dark life. She said that there was nothing wrong with doing business. What should fall on anyone could not run away. Since it could not be changed, it was better to accept it.

What she said is not wrong. The merchant's status is not high, but he can earn a decent family business and give his family a rich and carefree life. Compared with those who fall at the bottom and have no hope of life, his starting point is very high. He can expand his business, go to Beijing, buy a decent family business in the capital, and buy land and houses wherever she wants to go.

Different paths lead to the same goal, as long as his thoughts are still there, as long as his heart has not changed.

Everything began to develop on the bright side. Shen Huanzhi began to concentrate on learning to do business and began to strive to make himself strong. He finally had the opportunity to go to the capital.

Shopkeeper Li is an old man who follows Shen's father and a meritorious man who creates his family business with Shen's father. He is very funny, old-fashioned and has a wide range of contacts. Moreover, his mind is bigger than Shen's father. He is not limited to the development of Shen's family in the South of the Yangtze River. He opened another door to Shen Huanzhi and pushed a vital hand in the process of his life.

It happened that grandma Xie was going to the capital. Shen Huanzhi took the initiative to go with her. This was what he should do, so everything was natural. Shen Huanzhi was full of fantasy and confidence in this trip to the capital. His purpose was to see ah Xi, and then it was best to promote marriage.

He noticed that the old lady had this meaning, and he was also very happy. Although the road was full of thorns, he took a shortcut, because he now had the ability to give her happiness. On the road in the future, he hoped to have her side by side with him.

There was an accident on the way. The accident came from his naive persistence and lack of insight and worldly wisdom. Fortunately, with the help of noble people, he was an old hand in business on the river. Therefore, he learned to bow his head and be flexible, less self proud but useless persistence, and can go through many roads that were originally impassable. If he wants to become strong and omnipotent, he must harden his head and move on.

Later, the old lady said that the person behind him was not simple. He didn't take it to heart. He just remembered this favor and hoped to repay him with the opportunity.

At that time, he didn't know that this was a life experience that could change his life. The noble man he didn't care about would become the most jealous but admired and felt person in his life.
