Volume 1: Who Have Seen Again, Chapter 314: Jin Youyukun (4)
As for coming to Nancheng to see Shen Yan's brothers in person, Shen Rui didn't think about it.
If Shen Cang and Shen Yan were put together in one place, it would obviously not be a weight; But Shen Rui and Shen Yan are in one place, which is a game.
Shen Yan is older and has a half-moon teacher-student friendship with Shen Rui, Shen Rui is young, but there is a second room of the Shen family behind him, and how the two get along must have a degree. Shen Rui had no intention of overriding the Shen Yan brothers, and then used this handle to pinch their brothers, but he would not let Shen Yan master the rhythm......
Nancheng Academy also had a holiday, Shen Yan went to Master Qiao San's house, and Shen and Bai were at home.
I don't know if it's because of the use of ice, or because of the influence of Shen Yan's calm attitude, Shen has also rested these days.
Hearing that the little guy said that someone was coming in front, Shen thought that the students in the academy who were giving gifts arrived in the front yard.
When he saw the servants dressed up, and his appearance was vaguely familiar, Shen hesitated a little.
Changshou remembered Shen, and the Shen clan had met twice that year. Shen has such an excellent appearance, and the changes in two and a half years are not too big, so he naturally remembers.
"The villain has a long life, and I have seen Shen Xianggong." Longevity deacon.
He was a servant of the Wang family in his early years, and lived in Beijing with Wang Shouren and learned to speak official language.
He didn't wear a scarf at home, but the person in front of him knew his identity, and Shen became more and more confused.
Changshou held the post with both hands and said: "The villain was ordered to deliver the post, it is for Master Shen, Master Shen is not here, Shen Xianggong, you can see ......"
Shen took the post and said, "Your lord is respectful?" ”
Changshou glanced at Shen and said, "The villain's master and Shen Xianggong are fellow villagers. ”
Shen only felt that his eyelids jumped, and he couldn't speak for a while, but he was still a housekeeper, and when he saw this, he hurriedly took out a reward and sealed it, stuffed it into Changshou's hand, and said, "Under the big festival, the little steward is tired......
At this moment, Shen Ye finally matched the green-shirted servant in front of him with the face in his memory.
Yes, this is the little guy next to Shen Rui back then.
It's Shen Ruilai's post.
Shen only felt that his hands were heavy, and he couldn't breathe in his heart.
When the longevity task was completed, he sued himself and came out of the Shen house.
He came on horseback, and when he reached the mouth of the alley, he took the reins of his horse and stood still. There happened to be an old man pulling a donkey at the mouth of the alley, and he jumped off the horse when he was long-lived, so he grabbed a handful of copper coins and handed it over: "Uncle, please drive, ask you something?" ”
The old man hurriedly took the copper plate and copied it in his arms, and said diligently: "Little brother has something to ask the old man about me, I have been pulling my feet in the front and back streets all the year round, and there is no ...... who doesn't know the way."
Changshou pointed to the house with "Shen Mansion" hanging on it, and said: "Uncle, I came to that house to look for someone, but I didn't expect that the main family there had left Beijing, and now the house is pawned to others." Look at the young people, who are the people who live there? How do you get along with your neighbors? Isn't it the kind of people who call friends and spoil the house? ”
What he said was plausible, and the old man thought that he was an old acquaintance of the landlord, and said busily: "That is the apartment of Master Shen of Songjiang Mansion in Beijing, and it is a family that is passing by, so don't worry...... His family has been moving for more than half a year, and he is the most well-behaved and courteous family, never disagreeing with the neighborhood, and Master Shen is kind, and he has a good relationship with Zhou Xianggong at the end of the street
Changshou inquired about this "Zhou Xianggong" again, and a few sentences set out the details.
The old man said with a smile: "Since Brother Shen moved over, he is young, and he has such a good character and appearance, he has become a good candidate for son-in-law in this neighborhood, how many people are staring at it...... Otherwise, Master Shen has already decided to marry, and Shen Xianggong should not marry early, and this matchmaker would have already broken through the threshold......"
Changshou smiled, although he is a subordinate, he can also have some insight from the Wang family to the Shen family. What is "it is not advisable to marry early"? Is it just "waiting for the price to sell"? Most of the people live in this southern city, and there are few decent people, Shen Yan himself found the eldest daughter of Xuezheng, and when he came to his younger brother, it was not surprising that he wanted to find a competent in-law
He grabbed another half of the money, thanked the old man, and rode out of the alley......
Shen Yan's house, west wing.
Shen stared at the post in front of him, looked at it and looked at it, and snorted straight to luck.
Shen Rui, is this guy looking down on people?
When we met a few days ago, it was obvious that he went with his eldest brother, why did he leave him alone this time?
What does Shen Rui want to say? What decision did Shen Shangshu make over there?
It was difficult to sit and lie down, pacing left and right.
After a while, he sat down again.
A few days ago, he was worried about it, he couldn't eat and sleep well, and he only excused his mother that he was not tolerant of the heat in the capital, but in fact, he was worried about the news from Shangshufu, and often woke up from nightmares.
There is a saying, repay grievances with straightforwardness, and repay virtue with virtue.
Even if the things of the year were not related to their brothers, the second room of the Shen family did not have the intention of killing them. According to him, it is the most appropriate way to stay away from each other, and not to get along with each other.
Partiality started with my grandfather, and this examination was inappropriate, and it has been extended to this day, three generations wrong.
It is not time to come together to resolve this matter.
For Shangshufu, the descendants of the sinners represented by their brothers will only be disgusted when they see it; For their brothers, whether they can continue to pursue the imperial examination or not, the right to decide is Shangshufu.
Why did Shen Rui only invite his brother to talk alone?
Are there any important decisions?
Shen's mind became a paste, and all kinds of bad results were thought of, and the more he thought about it, the more bottomless he felt in his heart.
Although the elder brother has a gentle and mellow temperament, he is a little older than Shen Rui, and he taught Shen Rui in his early years.
In the past, he was willing to save face, and he could beg Shen Rui, regardless of the distance of his blood, just for the sake of his former classmates, he helped their brothers say good things in front of Shen Shangshu.
Their brothers spread out the matter and said, not to take the opportunity to attach themselves to the Shangshu Mansion, nor to play tricks for the return to the sect, but just to make a report here in the Shangshu Mansion, and one day when someone really uses the handle of the examination to deal with their brothers, they hope that the Shangshu Mansion can raise their noble hands, and do not deny their brother's identity and cut off their brother's career.
Thinking of this, Shen Chang sighed, with a resolute look on his face.
He walked to the back of the bookcase, opened Shen Rui's post, read it again, and then took a pen and paper and wrote a reply. It says that the acting brother accepted Shen Rui's invitation, and hoped that he would have the honor to taste this year's new tea with you in three days.
After writing the reply, Shen only felt that he had Yu Jin, strode to the front yard, found the housekeeper, and sent him to Shangshu Mansion to send the reply.
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "Second master, is the post coming back too quickly?" It's been less than half an hour since that little brother left."
Shen Yan laughed twice and said, "Then you weigh your kung fu and send it over before dinner." ”
The housekeeper answered, and Shen paced back to the west wing......
When Shen Rui came back from dinner at Shen Li's house, he was just in time for Shen's post to arrive.
When Shen Rui opened it, he saw a good hand, and he couldn't help but praise it secretly in his heart. Immediately, he felt that something was wrong with this tone, and then looked at the signature, it was the word "Shen".
Shen Rui didn't think so, but he didn't have any other feelings about Shen taking the initiative to send it to the door.
Is this because he was worried that Shen Yan would come out and be bullied alone, so he had the cheekiness to follow? Could it be that Shen Yan has a younger brother?
Shen Rui put down the post and went to Songbaiju.
"Hey, hey, hey"
Before I could enter the door, I heard shouting from inside.
When I entered the courtyard gate, I saw Shen Jue wearing short clothes and a belt around his waist, and he was playing Xingyi Fist there. As he moved his hands, his mouth was full of words, the sweat on his forehead was rolling down, and the clothes on his back were half wet
Shen Rui was surprised, and looked up at the sky, the sun was setting, and the sky was full of colorful clouds, but it was still hot outside
Shen Jue saw Shen Rui, hurriedly put away his fists, and said happily: "Second brother is back"
To give a gift today, Shen Jue also has a task. Shen Rui represented Shangshu Mansion and went to the clansmen; Shen Jue represented the small second room and sent zongzi to Qiao's house.
Because the Qiao brothers are now separated, he has to go to three places, which is one more than Shen Rui's here.
On Shen Rui's side, Guo's stayed for lunch and Shen Li for dinner, and he didn't come back until now; Shen Jue is here, and he is really not familiar with the three masters of the Qiao family, but he just went through the motions and came back before lunch.
Because Master Qiao received the silver from his two younger brothers, he didn't want to worry about the affairs of the Shen family, so he was impatient to see Shen Jue, a cheap nephew, hiding in the house to train the newly bought wren brother, and his face was not revealed.
Mrs. Qiao's face was full of enthusiasm, and after talking for a quarter of an hour, she sent someone to call Qiao Yongde to accompany the guest.
Helplessly, Qiao Yongde and Shen Jue were tired of each other, and Shen Jue had to go to the other two families, so they hurriedly quit and went to Qiao Er's house.
Second Master Qiao was not at home, although Second Mrs. Qiao was not as enthusiastic as Mrs. Qiao, but all kinds of inquiries outside the words, she went around Shen Jue's family affairs, making Shen Jue flee in despair.
When he arrived at Master Qiao San, Master Qiao San looked upright, but he did a lot of things like his maternal uncle, first asking the elders of the Shen family about their health, and then asking Shen Jue about his studies, and there were many words of exhortation and teaching.
Shen Jue listened obediently.
However, the two are different in generation, and they are also separated by age, these exhortations are really difficult to enter Shen Jue's heart, as for the teaching part, Shen Jue said that his family respects the elders a lot, and the entire Shen family, except for the toddler fourth brother, is regarded as his honorable elder, and there is really no need for Qiao San to worry about his virtue and character.
It wasn't until Master Qiao San's mouth was dry, and seeing that Shen Jue was becoming more and more restrained, and he knew that he was a little urgent, so he called Qiao Yongshan to come out to accompany the guests, and he went back to the study first, and Shen Jue came back to life again.
Looking at Shen Rui's escape, Qiao Yongshan smiled profusely.
For the people on the Qiao family's side, Shen Jue's impression of Qiao Yongshan is not bad. The age difference between the two is two years, and now they are both children, but they can talk about going together.
Seeing him laughing at himself, Shen Jue gave him a blank look and snorted lightly: "How many times a year can I have a chance to get the third uncle's guide,?" It's the sixth cousin, the son of the third uncle, who can listen to it day and night, which is really enviable."
Qiao Yongshan couldn't laugh anymore.
Master Qiao San is at home, and he has a lot of free time, so naturally he spends a lot of time staring at his son to study, and Qiao Yongshan is really miserable.
The cousin said a few words casually, and Master Qiao San sent someone to pass the word and asked Shen Jue to stay for lunch.
Shen Jue didn't want to suffer from the "teaching" of Master Qiao San, so he came out of Master Qiao San's house under the pretext that the elders in the family had other things to order.
He didn't know what to say, if he was a quarter of an hour late, he would see the old man of Songjiang......
