"Really? I'll have to take a look at that moment," Shen Rui said with a look of disbelief and raised his eyebrows.

Brother Shou grinded his teeth and said, "I still can't lie?" ”

Shen Rui glanced at his little arm and smiled lightly.

The pulling force of a stone bow is not small, looking at the appearance of Brother Shou's little arms and legs, it really doesn't look like it.

Brother Shou said angrily: "If you don't believe it, you will compare it in a while?" ”

Without waiting for Shen Rui to speak, Gao Wenhu had already shook his head and said, "No, no, didn't you say that your arm hurt for three days after pulling it once?" That's a strain, you can't try again."

Brother Shou's little face turned red, and he glared at Gao Wenhu fiercely.

Gao Wenhu smiled innocently, touched Brother Shou's head and said: "You are still young, you are already very good at pulling half a stone bow, and when you are two years old, you will be able to draw a full stone bow......"

Shen Rui looked at Brother Shou's face full of black lines, and couldn't smile in his heart.

As he spoke, Shen Rui had already taken the two into Shen's house.

"Let's go meet my mother first, and then let's go to the garden to play, it's ready, I'll introduce you to a few ......friends," Shen Rui said.

Gao Wenhu nodded in response, his expression slightly restrained and curious. Although he is not afraid of the so-called Shangshu Sect, he is inevitably a little uncomfortable when he comes from a small civilian family, and it is the first time he sees the mansion compound.

Brother Shou was not happy, and said, "Didn't you invite Brother Gao to join me, why did you call someone else?" Is it to greet us by the way? ”

Shen Rui smiled: "How come? Today's guests are Wen Hu and Brother Shou, and those three are my escorts. Crowded, lively. ”

Brother Shou was silent at this time, and followed Shen Rui to the main courtyard.

There was a little maid in a green vest standing under the porch, and when she saw Shen Rui coming, she was busy passing in.

When Shen Rui waited until he walked to the bottom of the corridor, the Xu family had already called in, and the maid picked up the door curtain and said softly: "Second brother, come quickly." ”

Brother Shou is nothing, although Gao Wenhu has a simple personality, he is a young man in the end, seeing this pretty maid standing, and the fragrant breeze is blowing in his face, he is so ashamed that he doesn't dare to raise his head, and he hurriedly dodges behind Shen Rui.

When the green-clothed maid saw him so big, but he twisted it so much, she couldn't help but laugh out loud

Gao Wenhu's face was flushed, and his hands and feet seemed to have nowhere to put them.

Brother Shou saw that Gao Wenhu couldn't get on the stage when he saw a woman, but he felt that his face was also hot, that is, he hated iron and steel, and he was afraid that he would be looked down upon, so he hurriedly went to see Shen Rui.

I saw Shen Rui standing at the door with a cold face, looking at the green-clothed maid.

The servant saw Shen Rui stop in front of him, Xia Fei cheeks, and he didn't dare to raise his head in shame.

Shen Rui was half angry.

Jiuru Curie Dongxi has been rationed longevity, and he is waiting for Shen Rui to marry after the boy's test, which is not a secret in the Shen family.

The remaining willow buds are disabled, and Chunyan looks mediocre, so there is a rumor that it will come out and say that Jiuruju will enter for a while.

The Shen family is a big family, except for the third master who had no people in the house in the early years because of his poor health, the eldest master and the second master had people in the house before they got married.

Now Shen Rui is fourteen years old, although he is engaged, but the second mother will be young in the future, and he will have to let people in the house in one or two years.

The people on the side are okay, they don't usually see Shen Rui, and the second- and third-class maids here in the main courtyard are like being beaten with chicken blood, and they are swaying in front of Shen Rui's eyes these days.

To say that the Xu family didn't know at all, Shen Rui didn't believe it.

It's just that I don't know if the Xu family wants to hone Shen Rui or other ideas, so I just open and close my eyes.

is just a teenager, and Shen Rui usually doesn't take these little tricks of "secretly sending the autumn wind" in his eyes.

But today, before the outsiders, a little maid was so frivolous, Shen Rui was annoyed.

He frowned and said, "Which one are you?" ”

The maid was first overjoyed, then looked up and saw that Shen Rui's expression was wrong, and then she was startled, so she squatted down and whispered, "Maid...... Servant Satsuki ......"

Shen Rui didn't speak anymore and entered the room.

Hearing a burst of laughter in the west, Shen Rui's expression softened, and he raised his voice: "Mother, the child's guest has arrived." ”

Although the upper room is not magnificent, there is nothing violated, but Xu's father was the first assistant back then, and because of his military merits, the Xu family is also a large gentry in Suzhou, and the Xu family's dowry is extremely rich.

Yishui's Soviet-style Huanghuali furniture has been used for decades and is still as bright as new.

Because Shen Rui said that today's visitors are two children, one is thirteen and the other is in his teens, so Xu did not come out, so he directly met the guests for a while.

The third wife was also there, sitting on the edge of the kang, coaxing the fourth brother to climb.

Seeing a burly man coming in behind Shen Rui, the third lady turned her head hurriedly, not knowing whether to retreat, and whispered, "Sister-in-law......"

Xu is over fifty years old, and he has reached the age of not avoiding foreign men; The third wife is still young and beautiful, and she needs to be avoided.

Xu Shi said to the third wife: "This is what Brother Rui said, he is half a head taller than Brother Rui, and he can't complain about being tall......

Shen Rui had already taken Gao Wenhu and Brother Shou to the front and said, "Mother, third aunt, these are the two friends that the child met in February, the tallest one is Gao Wenhu, one year younger than the child, and the other is Brother Shou......"

Gao Wenhu put down the salted egg in his hand and said hello in a humble voice: "Aunt Shen is good, Aunt Shen is so ......"

Shen Rui was shocked by this title, although it was not the first time he had heard such a name, it was really the first time he had heard others call Xu like this.

Xu has lived for most of his life, and he has seen a lot of things, so he didn't think it was wrong, and responded with a smile.

But as soon as she saw it, she saw that although there were two visitors, this tall man was a simple and scheming child; It's the little one, dressed up full of loopholes, with his eyes rolling around, he can't be said to be full of eyes, and he is also a clever person.

The Xu family itself has a city government, but he showed some pity for Brother Shou, smiled lovingly, as if he was a real little beggar, and then said to Gao Wenhu: "Since you came to the house as a guest, don't go outside, if you want to eat and play, just talk to Brother Rui to go...... Except for relatives and classmates, Brother Rui usually doesn't have any friends, but now that he has made new friends, you don't have to dislike his stuffy temperament......"

Gao Wenhu hurriedly said: "Brother Shen has a good heart and is willing to help others, who would dislike it......"

Brother Shou was beside him, full of helplessness. Can't you hear this kind word? Still dislike it? Can a civilian boy really find fault with the son of the Shangshu family?

However, thinking of the mercy of the Xu family, Brother Shou drooped his head, looking at his ragged clothes, and felt more uncomfortable.

When others saw him dressed up like this, they mostly despised and disgusted him, but there were few people like Xu's kindness.

No wonder he can raise his sick and weak uncle as a son for decades, and he has no complaints about using his dowry to make a living, even if he has no children under his knees, he never even mentions the succession when his nephew is alive in the next room, this eldest wife of the Shen family is indeed a kind and kind woman.

Although the Xu family is old, the flowers and appearances are long gone, and the sideburns are also frosty, but under the yin and yang, it is the eye of Brother Shou.

People in the world have a common disease, and there is no one who doesn't like others to praise their children, and Xu is no exception.

Seeing the other story in Gao Wenhu's words, Xu Shi was quite curious and said, "Brother Rui helped you?" ”

Gao Wenhu nodded and told the origin of the dozens of dollars.

Xu glanced at Shen Rui and said, "What else should I be, it's just a gesture......

Saying this, she also understood a little in her heart why Shen Rui was willing to continue to communicate with Gao Wenhu. This child is simple-natured, and kind, and is a person worth helping.

In addition, Shen Rui himself, due to the loss of his mother at a young age, suffered setbacks in his early years, and he is also a sensitive and thoughtful person, I am afraid that he is not willing to associate with people with many eyes. A simple-minded friend like Gao Wenhu can get along easily, which is not a bad thing for Shen Rui.

In the final analysis, it is a person who is old and refined, but under a few words, Xu not only probed Gao Wenhu's bottom, but even guessed Shen Rui's general thoughts.

As for Brother Shou, only the appearance of fine skin and tender meat is not something that ordinary people can raise. Besides, when he entered the Shangshu Mansion, he was only curious in front of his second-class lady, and he was not afraid, and his identity must not be low, and he couldn't be a naughty boy from the Houmenbo Mansion.

It's just that Xu believes in Shen Rui, no matter what the identity of this Shou brother is, he will be coaxed by Brother Rui and can't be bullied by Brother Rui.

People have also seen it, and it is time to give a gift.

Xu Shi ordered someone to take out two purses, and said: "I originally asked someone to prepare pen and ink and other things, but in the morning I called Brother Rui to see him, and said that most of you will go to Wuke in the future, and you will not need pen and ink and other things...... It's just that practicing martial arts is hard, and you should take care of yourself more, so don't bump into it, the elders of the province are worried......"

Gao Wenhu was embarrassed to accept it, but Brother Shou looked unpredictable, stepped forward and took two purses.

The weight in his hand was not light, and when he touched the hard inside, Brother Shou was very disappointed, and his eyes suddenly became gloomy.

Is this to despise them, and to send people with silver bills as a gift?

It just fell in Xu's eyes.

The Xu family somewhat understood the reason why Shen Rui was so careful in treating guests.

This Shou brother is not very old, and his temper seems to be unknown, and he is not a generous character.

Xu smiled and said to Brother Rui: "Brother Quan, the three of them are still waiting in the garden, you brought two friends over......

Shen Rui responded, said goodbye to the third wife, and brought Gao Wenhu and Brother Shou out.

Gao Wenhu whispered: "How can you collect things?" Give it back to Brother Shen......"

Brother Shou threw a purse on Gao Wenhu's body, and said angrily: "The elder gives it, how can you not accept it?" Oh, it's yours," he said, opening his own one and pouring the contents of his purse into the palm of his hand.

Inside is a safe and sound green jade plaque and two pairs of sword-style silver bills.

Such a courtesy, not to mention to the commoners, is also given by the official eunuchs.

Brother Shou raised his eyebrows, and his originally low mood was inexplicably getting better again.

Seeing this, Gao Wenhu also emptied his purse, and the contents were exactly the same as those of Brother Shou.

Gao Wenhu hurriedly put it back in his purse, handed it to Shen Rui and said, "You can't ask for this, this silver is enough for two taels, how can you get it?" ”

Shen Ruitui returned it to him and said, "Even Brother Shou knows that the elder doesn't dare to resign, so Wenhu will take it...... The safe and sound card was opened in the temple earlier, and it was not harmful to bring it to the body, and the silver coin was taken back to Aunt Gao, and Aunt Gao was asked to buy more meat for you to eat. If you want to practice martial arts, you can eat more meat......"

Gao Wenhu still wanted to push back, but Brother Shou was already impatient, and said: "The eldest mother is called, and the nephew is all gone, what's wrong with receiving a purse?" Aren't you a good friend of Brother Shen? ”

Gao Wenhu was speechless, Brother Shou pinched his purse, thinking about Xu's generosity and kindness, the little flames in his heart flickered one after another, looking at Shen Rui how it was not pleasing to his eyes, he snorted lightly: "I see that you are used to pretending to be honest in front of the elders, obviously you have more than ten hearts, you are a thief and a thief, and you talk a lot, but the elders are shy and silent, for fear that others will bully you......"

Shen Rui listened and grinded his teeth secretly.

This bear child, when he coaxes people, he has a "big brother", and when he hurts people, his mouth is stinky and poisonous......
