With the children of the Yang family, Yang Tinghe's appearance will not be crooked melons and cracked dates. Before Shen Rui saw the real person, his father also guessed Yang Tinghe's appearance, but when he saw the real person, he was still surprised.

With the elegant and handsome father and son of Wang Hua and Wang Shouren in front, no matter how good Yang Tinghe's appearance is, it will not surprise Shen Rui. He was surprised that this future minister had a familiar temperament, just like his class instructor in college.

Yang Tinghe is already over the age and is not confused, but he looks like a person in his thirties. If it weren't for the short beard, he and Wang Shouren would be placed together, and they would be about the same age, but in fact, the two were ten years apart.

This kind of youthfulness is not just the youthfulness of appearance, but the feeling it gives people.

People who have been in the officialdom for a long time always unconsciously bring official authority and gloom, but Yang Tinghe is full of gentleness and elegance.

He was dressed in a half-used Confucian shirt, and he looked like a master rather than an official, which was very warm and amiable.

Wang Hua and Wang Shouren's father and son are also elegant, but they have the feeling of high mountains and white snow, which makes people look up, which is completely different from the feeling of Yang Ting and this kind of master next door.

When Shen Rui was observing Yang Tinghe, Yang Tinghe also looked at the young man in front of him. Although his face was like a spring breeze, his eyes were shining, and he had a plan in his heart.

As an eleven-year-old who passed the hospital examination and a twelve-year-old cattle man who raised his township, Yang Tinghe's youth was different from ordinary people. Therefore, for Shen Rui's restraint and stability, Yang Tinghe did not feel inappropriate at all, but felt that this son was not frivolous.

There is no need to compare with others, only being in one place with his son, and he overtook the arrogant Yang Shen.

Although Yang Tinghe felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he had to admit that compared with Shen Rui's introvertedness, although his own family had a stiff face, he looked like a child pretending to be an adult

Shen Rui has such an introverted temperament, and he has a good appetite for Yang Tinghe, but Yang Tinghe himself is a good learner, and the first thing he did after meeting Shen Rui was also to test Shen Rui's knowledge.

It has been four years since Shen Rui was reborn in the Ming Dynasty, except for the more than a month when he was guarding the spirit, all his thoughts were on the Four Books and Five Classics at the rest of the time, so naturally he would not be asked by Yang Tinghe.

However, these rote memorization of the Four Books and Five Classics are really nothing. Yang Tinghe pointed to the book case, and casually came up with a topic, asking Shen Rui to write a trial poem.

Shen Rui's face was silent, but his mouth was a little bitter.

In the past few years, he has worked the current literature, and he can be regarded as figuring out the rules of the eight strands, whether it is to be full of flowers or to have business in ordinary times, he can put pen to paper. But here is the trial poem, which can only be said to be reluctant, but not good. After all, writing poetry requires aura, and Shen Rui can only be regarded as a reader, not a poet.

He grinded the ink by himself, pondered the kung fu of a cup of tea, and then put down the pen and asked for a five-word test poem, and then put down the brush, bowed to Yang Tinghe, and said with a ashamed face: "The boy is timid, and the uncle will teach him first." ”

Yang Tinghe took the manuscript of the poem, and the pen walked into the eyes, and he only felt that it was a good hand, but when he tasted the content, he was a little stiff.

The content of this trial poem can only be regarded as mediocre. Maybe for a thirteen-year-old boy, a trial poem in a quarter of an hour, such an urgency is not bad, but Shen Rui is not an ordinary person, he has an honorary teacher in the capital.

Even if he has studied literature for a short time, he can't compare to Wang Shouren, but in terms of poetry, he is still a step worse than Yang Shen, so he can't be justified.

Yang Tinghe was faintly disappointed in his heart.

Shen Rui knew his shortcomings, and when he saw Yang Tinghe's reaction, he was a little embarrassed.

Yang Shen was full of curiosity, moved behind Yang Tinghe, and went to explore the content of the poem

Yang Tinghe's expression returned to normal, put down the poem, and said: "The words are correct, and the words are very elegant!" ”

He did not judge the content of the poem, but asked: "Listen to He Shuyun, you studied under Wang Bo'an, when did you enter Wang Bo'an's disciple?" ”

Shen Rui replied honestly: "The boy Hongzhi has been in the past ten years, worshipping under the teacher's door and studying with the teacher. ”

Wang Shouren is a 12-year jinshi of Hongzhi, Yang Tinghe calculated the time in his heart, and Shen Rui studied with Wang Shouren for more than half a year, so he felt a little at ease.

When Wang Shouren was young, he was famous in the capital for his talent and excellence, but he was not satisfactory in his career because of his frivolous and arrogant temperament. Now that Shen Rui's words and deeds are steady, Yang Tinghe is not afraid that he will follow in the footsteps of his teacher, but he is afraid that his reading qualifications are insufficient.

Yang Ting was born in the imperial examination, and now his brothers and nephews are all studying for a career, so he naturally hopes that his son-in-law will take the imperial examination career in the future.

After all, in the eyes of scholars, entering the imperial examination is the right way.

The reason why Yang Tinghe considered this family business was not only because Shen Rui was the son of Shangshu, but also because he was Wang Hua's apprentice.

Although Yang Tinghe is younger than Wang Hua, he actually entered the ranks before him, only one is the same jinshi and the other is the champion, and the circumstances are different.

Unlike the jealousy and suppression of Wang Hua by the elders of the court, Yang Tinghe himself respected Wang Hua very much.

Although there is no first place in literature and no second in martial arts, in the eyes of readers, those who can win the top prize still have the talent to learn from others.

Yang Tinghe was gossiping with Shen Rui here, and Yang Shen was beside him, his eyes involuntarily fell on the bookcase, and his brows were tightly knit as he looked at it.

Shen Rui's trial poem, he silently recited it several times in his heart, but he felt mediocre and unremarkable.

A famous teacher and apprentice, Shen Ruiping is also good at words and deeds, why did he make such a barely acceptable poem?

Is it a momentary lack of thinking, or is it deliberately modest?

Yang Shen couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and his gaze at Shen Rui was a little unkind, thinking that he was so dissatisfied with this family business.

Even if he has fame, he is here at the end of his age, so there is such a guess.

It is good to marry two surnames, even if the two families have not officially posted, but it has already reached the time to "look at each other", where is it possible for a child to say a word.

Yang Tinghe was there, and he had already talked about the spring of the twelfth year of Hongzhi. In and out of the words, I just want to know that Wang Shouren is in the capital, so who will Shen Rui, who has not yet entered the capital, study?

Although Yang Tinghe didn't show it, Shen Rui also felt that he attached great importance to studying and career.

No matter who Shen Rui is and whose student he is, if the imperial examination is hopeless, this family affair should be over.

Whoever makes the Ming officialdom above, the honorable and noble officials are all decorations, and only those who are born in the imperial examination can rise to the top. Yang Tinghe also loves his daughter's heart, and he doesn't see it now.

Although Shen Rui felt cold at the nine-year-old Yang Tian'er, he was willing to marry this family in his heart.

Whether it is realistic or practical, marrying the Yang family makes the Shen family stand on the side of the East Palace party and have no worries in the next twenty years. As for twenty years later, Shen Rui is in the prime of life, so he will not be as passive as he is now.

Therefore, Shen Rui was not modest and directly moved Shen Li out.

If you want to say that Yang Tinghe feels gentle and peaceful, then Shen Rui's mask is "juvenile and serious", "simple and pure".

Shen Rui said a little shyly: "The kid was stubborn when he was young, he started studying at the age of nine, and he was fortunate to worship under the teacher...... After the teacher returned to his hometown that year, the boy learned literature from the six brothers, and then for three years. It's just that the kid's qualifications are reckless, not as good as the six clan brothers......"

When Yang Tinghe heard this, his heart moved: "The six clan brothers in your mouth, but the Shen scholar who was difficult in Ding Neijian a few years ago?" ”

Shen Rui nodded and said, "It's the ...... of the six clan brothers."

Yang Shen listened, and his heart bubbled with sourness.

Yang Tinghe's expression softened when he looked at Shen Rui, and he was the same as Mao Cheng when he first saw Shen Rui, and he was surprised after being disappointed.

The children of reading families, who are enlightened at the age of three or four, are common, and it is common for them to take the children's examination after studying for ten years. But Shen Rui started studying at the age of nine, and the results he has now in four years are enough to prove that his reading qualifications are far beyond ordinary people.

Even Yang Ting and himself, if he only studied for four years like Shen Rui, he couldn't say that he would be better than Shen Rui.

Regarding Shen Rui's imperial examination career, Yang Tinghe is no longer worried.

The eldest master and the second master of the Shen family are all jinshi, Shen Rui's clan brother is the champion, and the master is the champion, so under the collective efforts, there is still no one to come to the jinshi?

It's just that since Shen Li's teachings are in front, the Shen family's reasons for advancing before are a little untenable.

Yang Tinghe can go through four dynasties and be the first assistant of two dynasties, so he is naturally better than his heart.

After thinking about it for a while, he realized that the reason why Shen Shangshu didn't want his heir to continue studying from Shen Li was just to avoid Xie Ge Lao.

He looked at Shen Rui, and there was a little more fun in his eyes.

It is said that famous teachers produce high apprentices, Shen Rui has such a teacher and such a cousin, where will he go, he is also a little curious in his heart.

He glanced at Yang Shen again and decided to supervise his eldest son's schoolwork more strictly in the future. Although Yang Shen has passed the hospital examination first, he may not be able to beat Shen Rui in the township examination in a few years......

Shen Rui and Xu had lunch before returning from the Yang family, and the eldest master was already waiting a little anxiously.

Although he has the heart to get married, he also knows the truth that "a man with a good wife in the family will not be wronged", and the eldest man is still quite concerned about the character of his future daughter-in-law.

Shen Rui first replied to the eldest master and the Xu family about the details of the conversation with Yang Tinghe, and then went back to Jiuru Courtyard.

At this meeting with Yang Tinghe, he didn't have anything on his face, but it still hurt his self-esteem. Mao Cheng before, and Yang Tinghe now, are all like this.

Now that Shen Rui is still young, he can still use the short study time to deal with others, and he can also use this excuse to deceive himself, and in two years, he will have no face to use the short study time to cover up his shame.

Holding the "Notes on the Four Books", Shen Rui gritted his teeth.

For the people who have been studying for the examination for 20 years in later generations, Shen Rui has a good plan for his imperial examination. Before the age of fifteen, he should take the children's examination, before the age of twenty, he was promoted to a person, and before the age of thirty, he entered the career of the second class jinshi.

But now, with the name of a famous teacher and disciple, there is a lot of pressure. If he goes on like this, he will be reduced to mediocrity in the eyes of others......

Shen Rui finally understood Mao Chi's feelings......

In the main room, the eldest lord couldn't wait to ask, "How is the eldest lady of the Yang family?" ”

"Very good-looking, eloquent in speech, a generous little lady, worthy of the second brother......" Speaking of this, Xu hesitated: "It's just that the Yang family has too many children, three sons and one daughter are all born to the same mother, and the second son is half a year older than the eldest lady of the Yang family." ”

The eldest lord frowned and thought about it: "Yang Jiefu is thoughtful, he will not mess up his concubine, even if he has an internal favor, it is just a small section." ”

Xu said: "The eldest brother of the Yang family is arrogant, but he can pass the hospital examination at the age of thirteen, which is enough to be proud......"

The eldest man smiled lightly: "If other families had such outstanding children, they would have already been publicized, but the boss of the Yang family is not visible from the outside, and Yang Jiefu is an understanding person......
