He Taizhi knocked Shen Jue's hand off, rubbed his face, and said, "Cousin Jue, don't move if you are rude."

"Ha Lu Ha" Shen Jue couldn't laugh: "What's wrong with pinching you?" Did you get pinched less when you were young? ”

He Taizhi stiffened his little face and said seriously: "I am no longer a child, Cousin Jue should be respected." ”

Shen Jueyuan wanted to tease him twice, but when he saw that he had a small face and looked like a little adult, he pouted: "I know, you are all children, and you are not ordinary children." ”

He Taizhi blinked, as if he was puzzled, what was the relationship between this child and whether he was an ordinary child.

Shen Rui saw that Shen Jue was sour again, and said, "Tomorrow, Uncle Cang's banquet, are we going too?" ”

Shen Jue nodded and said, "I'm going, the post says the family." Aunt Cang rarely comes to Songjiang, so she naturally sees the younger generations of the clan. Anyway, what is prepared is food, and there will be no delay after class in the school. ”

The two of them talked, but they didn't lower their voices, Shen Qin, Shen Bao and others heard it, so they gathered around and talked about the clan reunion tomorrow.

Guo Sheng and other in-laws with foreign surnames, this matter is not related, but the Xu family is the highest status of the Shen family, and now that they have returned to their hometowns, even their children with foreign surnames have heard a lot, and they all listen with their ears pricked up.

Although everyone knows that most of the Xu family's southward affairs are here to choose heirs, and they are also curious, but what Taizhi is in, it is not good to mention this, so what is said is on the side.

Shen Qin said: "Now that it is the winter moon, it is rare for Uncle Cang to return to her hometown, do you have to wait for the Chinese New Year's Eve festival to leave?" ”

He Taizhi shook his head and said, "Where will it be delayed for so long?" After the aunt feasted tomorrow, she was about to go back to Suzhou. ”

Except for Shen Rui, who had already known about this, the other people's faces changed.

Shen Bao hurriedly said, "How could you be in such a hurry? Why don't you stay for a few days? ”

He Taizhi said with a smile: "If Cousin Bao is reluctant to wish Cousin, just go to Suzhou with us." ”

When Shen Bao heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and then he dimmed again, scratched the back of his head and said, "The teacher has to prepare for the exam, where can I bother." ”

He Taizhi rolled his eyes and said: "It's the thirteenth year of Hongzhi now, last year's spring, and the next subject will be the year after next, but there are still two years of effort." Even if you go to Suzhou with you, will you have to live there for two years? ”

Shen Bao's chubby face immediately glowed, but he still twisted slightly: "The teacher didn't mention this matter, and as a disciple, it's not good for me to follow with a thick skin."

He Taizhi patted his little chest and said: "Wrap it on me, if I don't ask my cousin to speak, I will ask you to accompany me to Suzhou." Suzhou genius is not only Zhu cousin, the name of Suzhou Tang Jieyuan, I want to treasure cousin also knows, he is a close friend of Zhu cousin, talented, calligraphy and painting can be called a must. ”

Nanzhili is a place, and it takes three years to produce a solution, and Shilin pays attention, but it is only a concern. But Xie Yuan, who was as unlucky as Tang Yin, was sued for the first time when he participated in the Ministry of Rites examination, and it was really rare to have someone who was not only an official member. In the past two years in the Nanzhili area, Tang Yin's daimyo has directly caught up with several champions from Nanzhili.

Although he was involved in the imperial examination fraud case, no one questioned that he would cheat. If you need to cheat all the time to participate in the exam, what should you do with ordinary actions?

Everyone just thinks that this Tang Xie Yuan is too unlucky, why did he choose such a bad friend to accompany him into Beijing, and then placed him in one place, and he was so implicated, it was really fate

Of course, the people in Shilin are concerned about his future in addition to his official status, and ordinary people are willing to listen to some interesting stories. This Tang Jieyuan not only lost his fame, but I heard that even Tang Niangzi disliked him, and the husband and wife divorced, and took a dowry to remarry another Suzhou Jinshi. mentioned this matter, some spurned Tang Niangzi for not abiding by women's morals, and some envied the new jinshi. What if he was pressed during the township test, he was the last on the list, and even Xie Yuan's wife recognized him.

After all, Suzhou and Songjiang followed hundreds of miles, and the news that came here became more and more distorted, saying that Tang Yin was a talented man and the first miserable person in ancient and modern times.

Seeing He Taizhi mention Tang Yin, everyone became interested and inquired.

He Taizhi followed his aunt to the south, and although he lived in Suzhou for a few days, because Xu's maiden family was in Suzhou, many sisters also married in Suzhou, so they were not allowed to visit relatives and friends. He Taizhi just saw Tang Yin's two sides, and came to him and said a word, but he obviously admired Tang Yin very much, and the news he got from his cousin showed off in front of everyone.

"Tang Jieyuan passed the hospital examination at the age of sixteen and was the head of the case that year. If it weren't for the death of parents and relatives one after another, the filial piety would not have been delayed, and it would not have been a struggle for many years. Speaking of this, He Taizhi remembered his cousin, and it seemed that he had missed several township exams because of his filial piety, so he sighed: "Yes, it is also fate, if Tang Jieyuan's family does not die of illness, it is said that he will not be able to start his career early, and he will not have to suffer this catastrophe." ”

Shen Huan said curiously: "Did Tang Niangzi really remarry?" ”

When He Taizhi heard this, he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't mention that villain, he is a close friend of Tang Jieyuan in vain, but he doesn't remember the truth that he is a friend's wife and can't be played, so he put on a feast and married Tang Niangzi to fill the house." I wish my cousin has cut off his robe and broken off relations with him, and the Suzhou scholars are also ashamed to be with him. ”

Shen Gui said: "Since he dares to set up wine, he is obviously not afraid of offending people. Come to think of it, if you win the jinshi, you have to choose an official, and you must always stay up until the old man returns to his hometown.

He Taizhi sneered: "This person is talented but not virtuous, and he can't grow up in the capital." Suzhou officials are not one or two officials in Beijing, he is rampant for a while, too carried away, I am afraid that it will not take long to be beaten back to his original form. ”

Shen Rui glanced at He Tai, this was obviously not something he could say, he should have heard the adults talk about it.

However, the Jinshi did not act properly, and most of the old oilmen in the officialdom stepped on the road of the imperial examination, step by step, and a few of them did not fail. After a certain jinshi was frustrated in Tang Yin's science field, he took his wife again, making him ruined, which violated the bottom line of literati competition, and it will definitely arouse everyone's hatred and hatred.

The Jinshi who have been tested for more than ten or twenty years can't afford to toss, not to mention Shen Yuan, who is a small person.

Shen Rui was a little curious, and he didn't know how the Zheng clan would deal with Shen Juren's "absurdity". Before coming out in the morning, he sent Changshou to stare over there, and he didn't know how to stare at it

He thought that in order not to distract Shen Jin and not let Shen Jin know about his talents, he had yesterday's remarks and wanted to urge Zheng to end the matter.

Unexpectedly, before class ended in the afternoon, Changshou hurried over, and Shen Rui realized that Shen Rui was really bad this time.

Longevity's side has been staring at the Zheng family since Shen Rui left in the morning. Although Shen Rui did not explain the specific reason, he told Changshou to let the Zheng family act, and if she had any inconvenience, she would secretly help.

Zheng went to the study early in the morning to report to Shen Juren, and under the pretext of purchasing winter clothes for Shen Jin, he left Shen's house, went directly to the house, and looked for Shen Jin.

The mother and son stayed in the teahouse in front of Fuxue for half an hour before they came out, I don't know what they said, Shen Jin's face was ugly, and the mother and son seemed to have an argument.

Next, Zheng went to the South Street Silver Building, bought two pairs of heads, and went back to Shen's house.

At noon, when Shen Juren and Uncle Zhang went to the yamen to make a contract, Zheng took the third sister Zhang and the fourth sister Zhang in a carriage and waited outside the yamen.

When Shen Juren and Uncle Zhang came out, Uncle Zhang went to his own house, and the rest of the group went to Nancheng and entered a restaurant, which was near the silver building where the Zheng family went before.

After lunch, Shen Juren went home first, and Zheng took Third Sister Zhang and Fourth Sister Zhang to Yinlou.

Next, there was a change, and when the Zheng family came out, there was only one person, and there was no third sister Zhang and fourth sister Zhang.

Then somehow, Zheng and Shen Juren quarreled in the study, and even Shen Juren made a move. Shen Jin happened to help Zhang Lao'an come over, so he stopped him

The next thing I believe is that after Shen Rui came home from school, Hao's mother took the time to go to the hospital to tell it secretly.

Because Uncle Zhang came over today, the temporary premium, this deed money can't be negotiated for a while. Shen Juren promised to give six hundred taels, but he also agreed with Uncle Zhang yesterday. But Uncle Zhang was instigated by his son and daughter-in-law last night, and today he changed his mind and asked for 1,000 taels of silver.

Shen Juren gritted his teeth and promised to come out with six hundred taels of silver, as if he had already cut the meat, and now Uncle Zhang retorted, which made him angry.

On one side is his son, and on the other hand, he is his younger brother, and Zhang Lao'an only has two appeasements.

If it weren't for Fourth Sister Zhang's staring, Shen Juren would have gone long ago.

Therefore, until the Zheng family came over, Uncle Zhang and Shen Juren were in a stalemate in Lao Anren's room.

The Zheng family got the news and sent a congratulatory gift to the third sister Zhang and the fourth sister Zhang, and when they saw this scene, they smiled and said: "These are like flowers and jade, and I can't complain that my uncle is reluctant." It's just that our master has good intentions, so he wants to accept him as a daughter, and this uncle keeps saying that he is hurting to mention silver. ”

In the end, he has been with Shen Juren for 20 years, and one sentence speaks to Shen Juren's heart.

In Shen Juren's view, the third sister Zhang and the fourth sister Zhang were delayed because they did not have a dowry, and they were kind-hearted, so they wanted to accept them as daughters and take care of their family affairs for them. The Zhang family is only grateful, and they should be satisfied with a few silvers, where is the reason for a premium.

Besides, Third Sister Zhang and Fourth Sister Zhang couldn't fight in silver, so they added four hundred taels when they opened their mouths?

Uncle Zhang knew that the Zheng family was Shen Juren's second room, and Shen Jin's biological mother, seeing that she was kind, he said bitterly: "Can't the two sisters enter the Shen family to eat and drink spicy food, and everyone else will starve to death." Now the family really can't get by, and they still expect the third sister and the fourth sister to be hired, which is the same as your lord being a daughter, and in the future, their sisters will indeed be incompatible with the Zhang family......"

Zheng was embarrassed: "Uncle and grandpa can't ...... it"

Uncle Zhang hurriedly said: "Yes, yes...... But if life is better, it will not delay their sisters and they have not yet talked about their relatives. The third sister is already eighteen miles

Zheng couldn't bear to say: "How can this be ......?"
