Volume 1: Who Have Seen Someone Again Chapter 294 White Arowana Suit (5)
Seeing Shen Rui making such a mistake, Xu Shi was stunned: "Didn't Brother Rui play well with Brother Shou?" The new friends you've made in the past two years are only these three or two......"
"As the saying goes, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you, although I don't know what is very important, but my father's insight is definitely better than mine. My father must have done this for my own good. Shen Rui said with a bit of gloom.
The Xu family was going to reveal Brother Shou's identity directly in front of Shen Rui, but seeing this, he was born with compassion.
Shen Ruiping is like a little adult, and when he is with Gao Wenhu, Brother Shou and others, he only shows a little childlike appearance. Nowadays, even if he is filial to his elders and obedient, he must be reluctant to make new friends in his heart.
Xu swallowed the words on his lips and said comfortingly: "Don't think about it, maybe your father may be flexible...... After a tiring day, you go back to rest, call the kitchen hot soup to drive away the cold at night, and stay outside for a long time......"
Shen Rui responded, and came out of the upper room, feeling guilty in his heart.
On a whim, did it scare the Xu family to invite Brother Shou to his home to brush up his favor?
If you think about it, you are indeed reckless.
If Brother Shou didn't come to the Shen family, everyone would gather outside, even if there was a mistake, it would be the responsibility of the accompanying guards, and he would be angry when he followed him; Brother Shou came to the Shen family, and the Shen family couldn't run away from the department when it was safe.
What kind of poisoning and assassination is too mysterious, and it is easy to touch, but even if it blows the wind, eats a bad stomach, etc., the Shen family, which cannot be harmed, is recorded by the emperor and empress.
The panic of the third master and the Xu family is understandable.
On the contrary, it was himself, because he had not tasted the power of the imperial power, he played these little tricks and put the Shen family in danger.
How many years can this youthful friendship with the East Palace last?
If you can't lift it in ten or eight years, and you can't pass the test three or five times after the lift, don't say what the Zhengde Dynasty will do, and you can't say that you will get mixed up with the Jiajing Dynasty with one shot.
Sure enough, after the "little three yuan", it was a little fluttering, and some put the cart before the horse.
At present, the most critical thing is the imperial examination.
Shen Rui thought like this, and after returning to Jiuruju, he picked up the scroll again.
Even though he knew that the township test was not easy, he still planned to give it a go in the next year. In this way, there are less than two years left.
When Shen Jue woke up, his mouth was dry, he woke up from the bedroom rubbing his eyes, walked through the hall in a daze, and walked to the study, where he saw Shen Rui writing something with a pen.
"Everybody's gone?" Shen Jue said a little embarrassedly: "How can I sleep?" ”
Shen Rui put down his pen and snorted lightly: "Who has to eat a few more glasses of wine, and can't stop it?" ”
Shen Jue sneered and said, "Didn't you look at Brother Shou's pride in that kid?" It's like he can eat wine, and others haven't eaten wine, and it's really not interesting to have any cousin, or our cousin, but he poured me ...... with Brother Shou in one place."
Shen Rui shook his head and said: "No matter what the reason, you should weigh it yourself, you must know how to stop in moderation, fortunately, you are drunk and just sleep honestly, if you drink like others, you will be embarrassed and lose your hair and go out of the house, but you are not allowed to drink in other people's houses."
There was a kettle on the desk, Shen Jue poured himself half a cup of tea, drank it all, and said with a smile: "Isn't this in front of the second brother?" I drank it cheerfully, and if it were my own, I wouldn't drink like this. ”
Shen Rui looked at Shen Jue and frowned slightly.
At the wine table, others didn't notice it, but Shen Rui saw it clearly, Shen Jue deliberately attracted Brother Shou and He Tai to fight wine.
He wants to get drunk.
Some things can only wait for Shen Jue to figure it out by himself.
Shen Rui sighed in his heart and said, "Go back and change your clothes, this body can smoke people to death with the smell of alcohol."
Shen Jue raised his arm, lowered his head and sniffed it, he also felt that he couldn't stand it, and hurriedly said, "Then I'll go back first" and left in a hurry.
Shen Jue's thoughts, Shen Rui can also guess, it is nothing more than missing his relatives.
In the past two years, Shen Rui has adapted to the identity of the heir, and he also regards Shen Cang and the Xu family as relatives in his heart, and he has no thoughts about the fourth room.
It's not that he holds grudges, only thinking about the unkindness of Zhang Lao'an and Shen Juren, and forgetting the grace of birth and raising; It's that after all, he is the master and has his own cognition, and after coming to the Ming Dynasty, the time he has to get along with his relatives in the four rooms is limited, and he really can't have any feelings.
Shen Jue is different, both parents are there, even if the eldest wife of the sect is eccentric, she is also a mother, not a stepmother; His father and grandfather regarded him as a favorite of his heart, and his grandchildren, father and son were affectionate.
Between Shen Zhou and Qiao's couple, they have been relatively nervous in the past two years, and the affairs of the husband and wife are not clear, so it is not surprising that Shen Jue's negligence is not surprising.
Whether it was the longing for Songjiang's relatives, or the polite estrangement of Shen Jue's family in the capital, it made Shen Jue feel painful.
Regarding the relationship between blood relatives and heirs, Shen Jue must always have an understanding, this is the price of growth
At dusk, snowflakes began to fall in the sky.
Shen Cang came back from the Yamen.
"I hope that this snow will fall more and solve the spring drought next year." Shen Cang took off his official uniform and said to the Xu family.
There are nine droughts in ten years in Beizhili, and the imperial court prays for rain every spring. Although Shen Cang is now the main hall of the Criminal Department, he has been in the Ministry of Household for many years, and he can't help but pay attention to the livelihood of farmers and people.
"This is not yet in the wax moon, according to the years of previous years, there is less snow before the wax moon, but there can be a few heavy ......snowfalls in the wax moon," Xu said.
After Shen Cang changed his clothes and cleaned his hands, the husband and wife sat opposite each other.
Shen Cang held the teacup, looked up at his wife and said, "Madam is restless, what is this?" ”
Xu Shi sent the maid out and said in a low voice: "Master, the third uncle recognized Brother Rui's new friend Brother Shou in the spring today as the little noble man in the palace."
Shen Cangzheng lowered his head to eat tea, and almost choked when he heard the words, and coughed several times.
Xu hurriedly stood up, took the teacup in Shen Cang's hand, put it in one place, and patted her husband on the back.
Shen Cang coughed a few more times before he stopped coughing.
His brow furrowed, and there was a deep Sichuan character pattern in the center of his eyebrows.
"Isn't the eldest brother of the Yang family also a guest for the second brother today? How did he react? Shen Cang thought for a moment and asked
Xu said: "I asked the third uncle, and the third uncle said that the children were happy, but they couldn't see the humility and scruples.
"Madame didn't tell the second brother," Shen Cang's tone was affirmative.
No matter how Shen Rui behaves like an adult, he is also a child, and such a thing is directly exposed, which will not scare him.
Xu Shi nodded and said, "I originally wanted to tell him directly, but then I thought about it and waited for the master to come back." This is not a trivial matter, the master must take the idea first, and then teach the second brother how to deal with it. ”
Shen Cang didn't think about it, and said: "The second brother will take a career in the future, and his reputation is important." He Chen can't get this suspicion ...... I'd rather him be down-to-earth and advance through the imperial examination than let him take a shortcut to the south and end up with his tongue."
Xu frowned and said, "Why didn't I know that there was a lot to do with this?" But seeing that Ruige finally got two playmates, I was afraid that it would hurt the child's heart...... It's time for other people's children to be so big when they're naughty, but Brother Rui is sensible and distressing, it's rare to meet a few like-minded partners, revealing a bit of innocence, if there is another change, he will become a wooden man again."
Shen Cang shook his head and said, "Although Madame is compassionate, she can't care about it right now. Don't say what others will think when the news comes out, even the supreme in the palace can't say that he is also staring at the response of our husband and wife."
Everyone knows the benefits of being close to the East Palace, but how many of them dare to go to the East Palace without permission? Not to mention the emperor and queen staring, even the jealousy of the courtiers is not something that ordinary people can deal with.
Now it seems that Shen Rui's relationship with the little nobleman seems to be secret and not known; But in fact, as long as there is a factory guard, where can this be kept secret?
The emperor knows that it is not a secret in the palace; It's not a secret in the palace, and it's not far from being spread outside
Thinking of this, Shen Cang couldn't sit still.
He stood up and said, "Although I am the main hall of the Criminal Department, it is not easy to meet you except for the court. This matter can't be written into the excerpt, so let's go to Yang's house and see what Yang Jiefu has to say......"
The room was already dark, and it was almost time to turn the lamp, but Xu Shi was not verbose, and immediately ordered someone to prepare the carriage, and took a big sweater for Shen Cang to change into.
If it wasn't so urgent, how could it show the Shen family's fear of the nobles descending to their vassals?
Yang family, study.
When Yang Ting and Luo Ya came back, they were blocked by their son and invited to the study to talk.
"What's so impatient?" Yang Tinghe said with a somewhat uncertain expression.
This son is filial and quick-witted, but sometimes he acts too rigidly, acts in a lustful manner, and the city government is not enough. The reason why he pressed his eldest son and didn't let him take the township exam early was because he wanted to hone him for a few more years
Otherwise, no matter how good Yang Shen is, he will not dare to ask people to put him in the officialdom with such a temper.
Yang Shen looked solemn, and said with a long sigh: "Dad, today's Shen family banquet, Brother Shou is also a guest
"Brother Shou? Which Shou brother? After Yang Tinghe asked, he reacted and stood up suddenly: "What, Brother Shou?" ”
Yang Shen nodded as if pounding garlic, nodded and said, "Well, it's not the first time that Brother Shou has gone back to the Shen family, and he went to see them once in the first half of the year, and he has always had contacts, and his friendship is not shallow." ”
"How so?" Yang Tinghe was surprised: "How can they know each other?" Before Shen Rui entered the house, didn't he study behind closed doors? ”
Today in the Shen family, although Yang Shen did not risk Brother Shou's unhappiness to mention Brother Shou's identity to Shen Rui, he also asked about the origin of the two.
Yang Shen said: "The two don't know each other directly, it was Shen Rui who helped a teenager during the county exam, and later he was invited to be a guest at that house, so he met Brother Shou." The young man's name is Gao Wenhu, he is a child of ordinary people, but he is only thirteen years old, and he goes in and out with Brother Shou, and the relationship is very good......" Speaking of this, he paused and said: "Looking at Brother Shou getting along with everyone, the friendship with this Gao Wenhu seems to be ranked first, followed by He Tai, the second son of Master He's family, followed by Shen Rui...... I don't have much friendship with other people......"
Yang Tinghe's face was heavy, and he said, "What is Shen Rui's reaction?" Do you think he looks like he knows Brother Shou's identity? ”
Yang Shen shook his head and said: "I don't know, I see that what Brother Rui really values is like Gao Wenhu, and Brother Shou is like a friend by the way, but he has never taken the initiative to get close." However, when Brother Shou played with He Taizhi and Shen Jue, Shen Rui had no intention of stopping him. ”
Yang Tinghe was curious when he heard this: "What kind of character is this Gao Wenhu?" Why is it that Brother Shou and Shen Rui value him instead? ”
Yang Shen raised his arm and measured Gao Wenhu's height: "It looks half a head taller than ordinary adults, he is so tall, and his figure is also great, but his temperament is simple and honest, which makes people unpleasant." Not to mention Brother Shou and Shen Rui, even his son thinks this Wenhu is quite amiable. ”
Although Yang Tinghe didn't see Gao Wenhu, he could listen to his son's description and understand where his advantages were.
Although Brother Shou is young, where are there real children in the palace, and there are not too many eyes in his body; Shen Rui is even more young and old, to the point where people can't see through it at a glance.
They all value Gao Wenhu, mostly because Gao Wenhu has no heart.
Smart people are very defensive, Gao Wenhu has no scheming, so they don't have to bother in their interactions.
In this way, Brother Shou and Shen Rui's behavior is somewhat similar. I just don't know if these two people are mutually exclusive, or are they confidants?
However, the white Arowana suit is not always a good thing.
Yang Tinghe frowned, thinking about how to advise on this matter. Even if you know it, it's not okay to pretend to be confused, but how not to make Donggong annoyed has to think of a proper way.
The father and son were talking, when they saw the housekeeper come in and said, "Master, the eldest master of the Shen family is here......
Yang Tinghe was stunned for a moment, and then said to Yang Shen: "Come with me to greet Master Shen." ”
Outside, it was getting darker, the snow was getting heavier, and there was snow on the ground.
The father and son spared the shadow wall, and when they walked to the gate, Shen Cang had already gotten out of the carriage and arched his hand: "I was an uninvited guest today, please don't blame the husband."
Yang Tinghe hurriedly replied: "Brother Shen can come, Peng is shining, and he is polite when he says it." ”
The guest and the host exchanged two words and went to the living room.
Seeing that Yang Tinghe was still wearing an official uniform, Shen Cang said: "I came too hastily, why don't you go and change your clothes first, are we talking?" ”
Yang Tinghe calculated the time in his heart, the yamen of the Criminal Department was in Xicheng, and Shen Cangying hurried over when he got the news when he went home.
When the nobleman descended, he was shocked when he heard it, not to mention Shen Cang, who was in charge.
The winter snow is fluttering outside, and it is the day of staying.
Yang Tinghe said: "If this brother is so, he will sue and change his clothes first." As he spoke, he instructed Yang Shen again: "First speak to your uncle on behalf of your father, and your father will return later." ”
Yang Shen lowered his hand and listened, and responded honestly.
Yang Tinghe left the living room and went to the main room.
The Yu family had already received the news and knew that there was a guest at home, so they couldn't help but be surprised: "Why did the in-laws come to the door at this time?" ”
Yang Tinghe said: "If you have something to discuss, ask the kitchen to add a few dishes, and send them to the front in a while, don't forget to scald another pot of good wine." ”
Yu responded, Yang Tinghe changed his clothes, did not linger, and hurried back to the front.
Shen Cangzheng was talking to Yang Shen, but he didn't mention the East Palace, but asked about their daytime fun.
Although Yang Shen was apprehensive in his heart, he also felt funny when he thought about the reversal of the curling game in the morning, and talked about it vividly.
