Volume 1: Who Have Seen Again, Chapter 318: The Golden Needle Secretly Crossed (3)

After only two quarters of an hour's effort, Shen and Shen Jue came back.

Although both of them knew that Shen Rui and Shen Yan were going to talk about "serious things", they didn't like the feeling of being left out. In addition, these two brothers have a good relationship, and only the elder brother is in the teahouse, and the two younger ones are also a little worried.

In the private room, Shen Rui had already asked Dr. Tea to change to new tea.

His mouth was slightly bitter, and his expression became more and more flat.

Some people, because their positions are destined to not intersect.

Whether it is for Shangshu Mansion, or for Shen Yan and Shen Brothers, who are still proud now, old things are hidden pains, and it is not appropriate to turn them out again.

Shen Yan just mentioned that Shen Zida didn't mention the matter of "returning to the sect" again after knowing the detailed past, not because he felt guilty and repentant about the second room for the affairs of his ancestors, but because everyone was ashamed, it was not a glorious thing to have a great-grandmother and grandfather who were "vicious wives" and "evil sons".

Before, they were poor boys, and they wanted to return to the clan because the Shen family was a scholarly family, and after returning to the clan, they had an identity and clan protection; Now they are scholars with a bright future, but they are the descendants of sinners when they uncover the past, and they are easy to be criticized, and they are not happy to be questioned about their bloodline and character.

In the final analysis, everyone has selfish intentions, and the relevant choices are mostly for the sake of profit and benefit.

Shen followed Shen Jue in, glanced at his brother first, and was relieved to see that he looked calm and had no different color. This should be fine, right? The two brothers should be able to keep their reputations, right?

Shen Jue sat directly under Shen Rui, and said with a little excitement: "Second brother, the sixth clan brother has published a new book...... " As he spoke, he pushed the book in his hand that was still scented with ink down in front of Shen Rui.

Shen Rui was a little surprised, now it is not a trivial matter for scholars to publish books, and they usually have to be sent to relatives and friends for correction. As for manuscript fees and the like, how can this gentleman talk about money?

Shen Li is the champion of Hongzhi for three years, and unlike ordinary scholars, if he wants to publish a new book, it should be regarded as a big event, attracting attention from all directions.

I haven't heard similar news before, but now I can buy Shen Li's new book directly in the market?

Shen Rui took it and read it, flipped through it and read a few articles, and said with a smile: "Where is this new book?" It's just some of the manuscripts that flowed out of the six clan brothers in the early years, and the rest are made up by others......"

Shen Jue said angrily: "That bookstore can't deceive people? He has a lot of new champion anthologies there, not only the six clan brothers, but also Xie Ge Lao, Wang Shilang, Mao Zhuangyuan and a few familiar champions, all of them are fake? ”

Shen Rui said: "What's so strange about this? This book can't be said to be fake, there are indeed champion articles in it, and most of them are people who are taking the exam in Beijing. Among them, there are people who look up to the name of the champion, and they want to buy two books to learn to figure out. It's just strange that next year's township exam, the new people will arrive in Beijing at the end of the year, why does this book start selling this year? ”

Shen Jue said: "Is it impossible for new people to admire the champion?" Isn't there still a rookie talent? The new books under the banner of these champions, not to mention in the capital, are also very popular in the local area. ”

Shen Fangcai followed Shen Jue to the bookstore, and also bought two Zhuangyuan anthologies, one signed "Mr. Longshan" and the other "Songxi Mountain People", after listening to Shen Rui's words, he began to stare at the new book in his hand, and the anger of being fooled was born in his heart. He was among the scholars who admired the champion and was fooled like a fool.

Shen Yan's eyes flashed, and he took out a book from it, which was the one signed "Songxi Mountain People", and after going down from top to bottom from the table of contents, he saw that in the middle of the place, there were several familiar topics.

When he turned inside and saw the familiar words, Shen Yan smiled bitterly.

When Shen saw it, he was puzzled: "Big brother, what's wrong?" Is it that the eldest brother was also fooled into buying this book

Shen Yan shook his head and said, "If it's just to buy books, I don't have to be embarrassed like this...... In March, Zhou Xianggong introduced me to a bookseller, only saying that someone was looking for someone to ghostwrite, so I took the job, and made a total of five manuscripts, and the results were all on Shen Zhuangyuan's anthology. ”

Shen couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this.

He took the new book in his hand and read the one that Shen Yan had just pointed out. The style of this article is quiet, and it seems to be in the same vein as the previous article, but I can't help but ponder it carefully, it really doesn't look like a champion's handwriting; But if Shen Yan didn't mention it, he didn't see that this was done by Shen Yan, obviously because he wanted to ghostwrite with someone, Shen Yan should have won the model text, and he also covered up his style.

Shen Rui and Shen Jue also looked at Shen in unison.

Such a coincidence? Shen Li's "fake" that came out of the market was ghostwritten by Shen Yan?

Shen Yan obviously thought of this too, and his eyebrows furrowed. Although he was unintentionally involved, if the people of the Shen family in Beijing knew, would they believe that he was unintentional?

If you don't be a thief, you have a weak heart, which is what he is talking about at the moment.

He glanced at Shen Jue, and sure enough, Shen Jue looked at him with suspicion; He sighed in his heart, looked at Shen Rui again, and saw that he was deep in thought, but there was no disgust or doubt on his face.

Shen Yan was worried that he was involved in such troubled waters, staring at this book under the banner of Shen Li, and Shen Rui thought more.

Shen Li and Mao Zhuangyuan are not rookies in the officialdom, but their grades are not high; But Xie Qian and Wang Hua are different.

The business in Beijing has a noble backer behind it. Those who can be unscrupulous and sell books under the banner of a few courtiers from top ranks are definitely not ordinary people.

It's just that when this middleman finds Shen Yan, it makes people think about it. If it was unintentional, Shen Rui didn't believe it. Where is there such a coincidence, several articles ghostwritten by Shen Yan fell under Shen Li's name.

If this is done deliberately, it is mostly because of the rights and wrongs caused by Shen Yan's nationality. Judging from his official status, his father, grandfather, and Zeng three generations are all ranked the same as Shen Li's names above the three generations. People who don't know the inside story will only think that these two people are relatives. Even if they inquired around, they knew that the Shen Yan brothers had no contact with the Zhuangyuan Mansion, and most of them were not close to each other.

Since this new book is a series, most of the "gunman" identities that belong to other champion name articles are also specially found, either from the same township or as relatives. In this way, some of these champions really want to investigate the "fake book", and the people who launched the top cylinder are either clansmen or neighbors.

When the time comes, it's not okay to care, it's not okay, most of the time you can only laugh it off. Otherwise, it seems that the champion does not miss the old feelings and ignores the neighbors and clansmen, which is easy to arouse the resentment of Shilin.

I have to say that the planners of this batch of new books really captured the minds of readers.

As for Shen Yan, a little shrimp, it is really a blessing and a curse to mix it into such a right and wrong.

The capital is not only rich and glorious, but also countless whirlpools.

Shen Jue couldn't help it, and asked Shen Yan: "For those five current articles, how much money did Mr. Shen receive for the pen?" ”

Shen Yan's face became more and more bitter: "Four taels of silver, a total of twenty taels of silver." ”

Shen Jue's face showed surprise, this is really not much, didn't the other party make a special trip to find Shen Yan to ghostwrite, just a coincidence?

At this price, Shen Rui was not surprised. Shen Yan is already a person, and the other party can't open his mouth if there is too little silver; The silver was given too much, and with Shen Yan's prudence and thoughtfulness, he would not dare to accept it.

Shen Yan saw that everyone was off topic, and Shen Yan's expression was very ugly, so he also raised it in his heart, and said with a worried face: "My eldest brother was deceived and didn't know it, so this is also to blame?" ”

He looked at Shen Rui and asked.

Although he still doesn't like Shen Rui, he has to say that when he really encounters something, Shen Rui's calm appearance can really make people feel trustworthy.

Shen Rui nodded and said, "It's a bit of a department, but it's not a big department, unless it's really going to the court." ”

Just one sentence made Shen's heart lift and put down, put down and lift it up.

Shen "Teng" got up suddenly, gritted his teeth at Shen Yan and said: "I should be a good person surnamed Zhou, I didn't expect him to dare to harm my eldest brother like this, let's settle accounts with him."

Originally, their official status was inappropriate, so it was good that it was not noticeable, but if they really wanted to attract attention, they would not be turned out to say that they would be turned out to say this. It's just not for this, the two brothers are in Beijing, their roots are shallow, and they can't withstand official wrongdoing.

Shen Yan was also anxious in his heart, and hurriedly went back to find Zhou Xiucai to inquire a few words, then got up and said, "Hengyun, Shen Jue, my heart is in turmoil, go back with my brother to inquire about this matter first, and invite the two of you to tea another day." ”

Shen Rui got up and said, "Mr. Shen, please."

Although Shen Jue was reluctant, he still honestly got up with Shen Rui, arched his hand and said, "Send Mr. Shen"

Shen Yan left in a hurry with Shen Jue, but Shen Jue put aside the matter of the "fake book", and pulled Shen Rui and refused to leave: "Second brother, tell me quickly, what did you say to Shen Yan just now?" ”

Shen Rui chuckled, "What can there be?" It's just to ask him what he wants in exchange for Shangshufu. Shengmi en's fight against rice, the two families had grievances in the early years, and it is still generous not to suppress their brothers here, and it is not okay to take advantage of them in vain if they want to say a word. ”

When Shen Jue heard this, he said with a little excitement: "It's supposed to be like this, but Shen Yan is poor enough, he is already a lifter, and he is going to be a gunman for others." What can he come up with? ”

Shen Rui raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Jue can't guess, and I can't guess ......."

Shen Jue touched his chin and rolled his eyes for a while, and said: "No matter what you exchange, you have to let Shen Yan bleed, so that he knows that it hurts, and then he won't dare to go to Shangshufu in the future, but he can't make empty promises or anything like that...... They crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and it was boring......"

Shen Rui nodded and said, "Okay." Maybe Shen Yan really has something in his hands,......"

Because Shen Li, Wang Hua, and Mao Cheng involved in the "fake books" were all acquaintances, before Shen Rui and Shen Jue left the teahouse, they sent Changshou and Xiaoliu to buy a few books and came back.

There may be many people who can see the pros and cons of the article, but there are also many people who really regard "Li Ghost" as "Li Kui", and then the reputation will be affected by all the champions.

Although I don't know how many champions didn't get the news, Shen Rui knew about it, so he naturally wanted to tell him.

However, before sending the book out, Shen Rui first mentioned the matter to Shen Cang.

After Shen Cang listened to the "strangeness" of Shen Li's champion anthology and Shen Rui's speculation, he glanced at the new book with disgust, picked up the anthology signed by Xie Ge Lao, and picked an article from the back to look at it, and was surprised to see it: "This style of writing is indeed different from Xie Xiang, but it is a positive atmosphere that has been passed down from generation to generation, although it is slightly green, but if it is really Xie Xiang's old work in his early years, ordinary people really can't distinguish it." Such an article, as long as it is not abandoned halfway, there will always be a day when it will be on the top list. It is also pitiful for such a talent to be ghostwritten with others. ”

Before Shen Cang's fall, Shen Rui also looked through a few anthologies, Xie Gelao's book is just like Shen Cang's comments, there is really a feeling that the truth is not true, the final reason is that the other three champions have relatively unique literary styles, and the later articles are just like gods; Xie Qian's article is more atmospheric and positive, and the difference between the artistic conception of the back and the front is not very big.

"It's really hard work, this is to make sure that the champion guild will let it go and not take care of this matter?" Shen Cang thought of this, and was a little puzzled: "It's just that even if you act as a noble, you should be taboo; If you really get to the point where you don't need to shy away from it, how can you care about these coins and figure out a set of fake books to make a profit......"

Ming Shi Fang, Zhou House.

Shen Yan looked at the teacup in front of him, his expression was not angry, and he didn't look like he was "coming to the door to ask for guilt". But with a new book in front of him, and his solemn look, he expressed his dissatisfaction with this matter everywhere.

Zhou Xiucai was happy, and he didn't see the anxiety and guilt that was exposed, but said heartily: "Even if Brother Shen Xian doesn't come today, I will talk to Brother Shen Xian about this matter in a few days, and I can't say that I can introduce Brother Shen Xian to the noble bottle......"
