Volume 1: Who Have Seen Again, Chapter 282: Shuanggui Lianfang (4)
It wasn't until the afternoon that the Qiao family took Shen Rui and Shen Jue away, and Shen Yan knew that the Qiao family had a guest today, and it was none other than the second wife of the Shen family and the two young masters of the Shen family, Shen Rui and Shen Jue.
He was stunned for a moment, and the shadows of two teenagers appeared in his mind.
The two-year period is not a long time, but it is not a short time, and the changes are very obvious for young people.
Just like Shen Jue, he is more than half a head taller than when he was a student in the previous year. It's just that this way to the north, occasionally looking at each other twice, Shen Jue's cold and alienated face hangs on his face, and he is no longer the high-spirited pride of the clan in the genealogy of the year.
He was silent a lot, stood in front of the window and looked at Shen, who was concentrating on reading, and felt that there was nothing wrong with cutting off contact with the old man like this.
Back at Shen's house, Qiao's returned to the guest room with fatigue, and Shen Jue went to the main room with Shen Rui.
"Uncle, listen to Qiao...... The third uncle means that he wants us to be closer to Brother Shen Yan, and even the friendship between teachers and students has been brought out" Shen Jue complained a little: "When I come to the door in two days, I can't say that I will have to beg my uncle for Brother Shen Yan." β
It is true that Shen Yan has been a master in the Shen clan studies, but other famous relatives or in-laws have also brought more classes in the spring ploughing class and the Xia Yun class, do they all have to talk about the generation of teachers and students?
In that case, wouldn't it mean that Shen Yan's identity would be above all the students in the Spring Ploughing Class and Xia Yun Class that year? The status of teachers and students is much heavier than that of clan brothers. When you encounter it in the future, you must be respectful, otherwise it will attract criticism.
Xu Shi said disapprenously: "Don't take it to heart, Master Qiao San just wants to test our family's bottom line, and he won't really be so ignorant." β
Shen Jue was puzzled: "Look at what he means, but I value Shen Yan very much." The Shen Yan brothers entered Beijing to study again, and the Qiao family couldn't find anyone to help at this time, so he really wanted to ask his uncle to help find a famous teacher. β
Xu shook his head and said, "No." A son-in-law is a son-in-law after all, if Shen Yan is his son, he may be cheeky and open-mouthed. Since he is a son-in-law, he is tempted and tempted, and he knows that our family has no intention of being close, so he will stop here. β
Although Shen Jue was still a little puzzled, it could be seen that Shen Rui nodded in agreement, obviously knowing it, so he didn't ask any more.
When the two brothers returned to Jiuruju, Shen Jue asked about the matter: "Since Master Qiao San wants to promote Shen Yan as the help of the Qiao family, don't you still treat him as your own?" Although Shen Yan is not a son-in-law, he is an orphan and a widow, and he has no relatives to rely on, so in the eyes of the Qiao family, he is almost inseparable from Wufu. β
Shen Rui didn't sell the lawsuit: "Although Shen Rui's two families are relatives, but in the end, they are two other people, will the Shen family let the Qiao family ask for it?" Before Master Qiao's official non-official, it was the relationship between the old man who contributed money and efforts; Mrs. Qiao's affairs, it is here to help Zhang Luo. These two adult favors, the Qiao family has not yet returned them, how dare they easily open their mouths and ask for others? Not to mention, the third master of Qiao has ended his defense, and it is the Shen family who has to count on when he recovers......"
Shen Jue sneered and said, "I thought that Master Qiao San really valued Shen Yan, but it seems that it is nothing more than that. No wonder I felt weird before, Shen Yan was a young man, and he was just preparing for the spring boudoir. Even if he tries to fall this year, he can still learn a lessonδΈ¨Shen Yan didn't even come to the capital, but was left by Master Qiao San to take care of his chores. If you are the nephew of the Qiao family, you will only be offered to study, where is you willing to delay time? And this time, in the name of studying, he brought the Shen family brothers to Beijing, which is also ridiculous. Although there are many famous Confucians in the capital, Nanjing is also a place where the style of learning is at its peak, so why can't you study well? This is because he wants to raise Shen Yan and Shen Brothers, but he is afraid that these two people will be out of control, so he arranged it like this. β
Shen Rui didn't think that Shen Yan was a person who had no idea and was at the mercy of the future Yue family.
The Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to scholars, and his status is already promoted to the gentry class. That is, Shen Yan stayed in Nanjing after the middle move and did not return to his hometown, otherwise the Quartet would come to vote, and he would suddenly be able to change from having no permanent property to a wealthy landlord.
When Shen Jue said this, he obviously didn't like the threatening tone of Master Qiao San before lunch, and was prejudiced against him, so he regarded Master Qiao's mention of Shen Yan's brothers as selfish.
Shen Rui had no intention of distinguishing for Master Qiao San, with Master Qiao San's temperament of loving to preach and use his name to tell things, Shen Jue was better than being a respectful and thoughtful nephew than being a truly obedient junior after being brainwashed
When it was time for dinner, Shen Jue looked around and realized that something was wrong: "Why are these two girls serving, Dongxi?" β
The chopsticks in Shen Rui's hand paused, feeling that the fried pigeon in front of him was not so tempting.
He swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "I married a man in early August and lived a long life, and now the two of them live in the back street. β
Shen Jue was very surprised when he heard this, and looked at Liu Ya and Chunyan who were standing beside him, and stopped talking.
Shen Rui pointed to the plate in front of him: "This dish should be eaten while it is hot, it will not be good if it is cold." β
In the white disk plate in front of Shen Jue, the golden diamond-shaped square was wrapped in syrup. A small bowl was placed next to it, filled with water.
Shen Rui took a pair of chopsticks, dipped them in the water, and gave Shen Jue a demonstration.
Shen Jue's attention shifted, he didn't care about asking, he tasted it like a cat, and immediately smiled.
ate half of the plate in one go, and the rest stuck together because it was cold, so Shen Jue put away the chopsticks.
"What is this? Is this a snack, or a dish? Got a new chef in the house? Shen Jue's eyes flashed
"Pulling ginkgo seeds, it's a dessert in the dish." Shen Ruidao.
He wrote the recipe for this dish and instructed the kitchen to make it. Although it was sent everywhere, it was mainly for Shen Jue.
Shen Jue has been back in Beijing for the past two days, and he seems to be lively, but he shows confusion and sentimentality from time to time. Shen Rui was a little distressed, so he thought of this common dessert in later generations to coax him.
"Ginkgo seeds?" Shen Jue listened, took another piece, and tasted it carefully: "Is this ground into powder?" I can't eat the taste of ginkgo at all, but there is a smell of eggs. β
"It's really a gluttonous tongue, this is made of egg skin, called ginkgo seeds, which is actually not the same as ginkgo seeds. I read a recipe from a miscellaneous book, thinking that you would like to eat it, so I asked someone to try it, and the taste was okay. Shen Rui said.
Shen Jue said happily: "Ha Luha, won't you be able to call this dish every day from now on......"
Shen Rui glanced at him: "It's just a taste every three or five days, eat this every day, do you still want teeth?" I really don't have a long memory, and I forgot the sin I suffered when I had a toothache......"
Shen Jue touched his cheek with his left hand, and laughed twice.
Waiting for the two brothers to put down their chopsticks, Liu Ya and Chunyan withdrew the table, and there were only two brothers left in the room, Shen Jue thought of Dong Xi again, squeezed his eyebrows, leaned over, and said, "How can the second brother be willing to marry Dong Xi out of the house?" Not to mention anything else, it's the few maids around the second brother, needless to say, Liu Ya is beautiful, but in the end he is disabled; That Chunyan, although his hands and feet are sharp, he looks too ordinary; It's only Dongxi that is a good color. Second Brother Pingsu doesn't rely on her the most, how can you say that she will be released when she is released? β
Shen Rui clenched his fists and slapped him: "Who did you learn to talk like this with such a flamboyant tongue?" Speaking of this, he looked him up and down a few times and said, "Is it the maid around you who is naughty and causes you to learn badly?" β
Shen Jue snorted lightly and said, "Okay, don't preach the second brother, I don't believe that the second brother hasn't thought about opening meat...
Shen Rui frowned and said, "Did you really accept the room?" Messing around with premature ejaculation is not conducive to growth, be careful that you don't grow tall in the future"
Although Shen Jue is half a head taller than when he walked last year, he still belongs to the late growth type, slightly shorter than teenagers of the same age
Thinking of Qiao's little white flower crying in the wind, it really doesn't look like a loving mother who can discipline her young heir. Jiangnan is a rich and prosperous place, Shen Jue is a young master of the official family over there, and his appearance is good, Shen Rui is really a little worried.
Shen Jue saw that Shen Rui was annoyed, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'll just mention it." Second Brother Ling also warned me, saying that it is not advisable to approach women early, at least until the age of twenty-eight years."
Shen Rui nodded and said, "Second Brother Ling is right, the woman is twenty-seven days old, and the husband is twenty-eight and the kidneys are vigorous. When Aunt Hong gave the third brother a room, the third brother was already seventeen years old. It's not good to hold the yang energy, and it's not good to disperse early.
This involves the Taoist health theory, and Shen Rui feels that many of them have something to say.
Shen Jue wanted to make fun of his cousin, but he didn't expect to hear this serious preaching, rubbed his ears vigorously, and muttered, "Is the second brother a teenager?" This tone is the same as that of several masters."
Shen Jue would not mention this for no reason, thinking about his male duck voice, as well as the two boils bulging out of his head, this child probably had sperm loss and began to develop twice, so he became curious about men and women.
In later generations, most of the young people of this age began to "self-reliant" against the idol of the island country; Now in the Ming Dynasty, although "education" is not as good as five hundred years later, it can not stand the characters divided into levels and inferiority, and the sons and young masters of rich and noble families are all young servants around them, and it is extremely cheap to "learn and learn".
"The second aunt is a person who doesn't like to worry, Ming'er and I will talk to my wife to sort out all the maids around you. The frivolous and ignorant ones are all replaced with the ones that are not sensible, and the ones that save them will break you. Shen Rui frowned.
Shen Jue's eyes widened, and he hurriedly pleaded: "Second brother, don't think that my aunt is going to make a bad deal when she hears it...... I'm not a fool who doesn't know what to do, even if a servant tries to seduce me, I can't take the bait? Where is this on the table? The second brother will save some face for his younger brother......"
Shen Rui thought about it, and what Shen Jue said made sense, so he nodded and agreed, and took the opportunity to teach him: "Chromophobia." When people grow up, they are curious and yearning for the joy of fish and water, which is their nature. It's like wanting to eat when you're hungry. It's just that there is a rule for eating, and there are rules for the joy of fish and water. Self-denial and revenge are gentlemen.
Shen Jue had a headache: "My second brother is a saint"
Shen Rui glanced at him and said, "In the future, if you want to take the imperial examination, your reputation is important, is lustful and greedy for joy a good reputation?" β
Shen Jue sighed and said, "With the second brother, you, a model saint, in front of you, it is difficult for the younger brother to be lustful." Speaking of this, he was frustrated: "But after a year of hard work, the second brother seems to have grown into an adult, but I am like a child." β
Shen Rui shook his head and said: "It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, Brother Jue has a round trip from the capital to Nanchang Mansion, a journey of thousands of miles, and I have more knowledge and experience than me, which is not as good as Brother Jue." β
Shen Jue hesitated: "Second brother, since I have returned to Beijing, is it okay for me to participate in the children's test next year?" β
Shen Rui smiled: "Naturally, it's good, your homework is more solid than mine, if you don't go out of Beijing, this year's exam will be almost the same, why hesitate?" β
Shen Jue smiled and said, "Anyway, let's try it, you can't continue to be white." Even He Taizhi is a student, why do I have to be a child first......"
