It was nearly mid-spring, and the night wind was still cold. But in the main courtyard of Xiang'an Village, it is brightly lit and warm.

After sending off Zhang Hui, Zhao Hongpei, and Zhao Tong, Shen Rui began to decorate the lanterns.

Yang Tian dragged the sick body to entertain guests one after another during the day, although he was in a good mood, his body couldn't hold it in the end, he fell asleep after taking medicine, and when he woke up, it was already the time to hold the lamp.

Before she went to bed, she knew that Shen Rui had brought colorful lanterns back, but when she really saw the colorful courtyard, she was still surprised.

"Would you like to come out and have a look?" Shen Rui had already walked under the window and beckoned to the house.

Yang Tian's face was full of excitement, and he nodded heavily, but he turned back to look at his adoptive mother, Mother Lin.

Mother Lin said helplessly: "But you have to wear thicker!" Just stay a little bit and come back. ”

Yang Tian couldn't help laughing anymore, and responded happily, Mai Dong immediately came over and helped Yang Tian put on his coat with his hands and feet, and Mother Lin found the thickest big coat, wrapped Yang Tian tightly, and called the outsiders to prepare a soft chair with a sliding rod.

Shen Rui waited at the door early in the morning, and when he saw her come out, he smiled and said: "Seeing that you slept soundly, I didn't call you, I arranged it myself, you make do with it first, wait for Ming'er to come later, and the ordered lamp will be sent, let's rearrange it together." ”

Yang Tian looked at the fire trees and silver flowers in the yard, turned his head and sneered: "Is this okay?" You're going to move all the lantern shops before you stop! ”

The mouth is disgusted, but he is still looking around happily, and the curved eyebrows and the corners of the mouth have never fallen.

Shen Rui followed the soft chair to the courtyard, pointed to the colorful lanterns everywhere and explained to Yang Tian, talking about the craftsmanship of which shop, what is the importance of the traditional tower lamp drawing, and where the new marquee lantern is set up.

There is also a string of small lanterns with lantern riddles, which are tied into orchid, lotus, chrysanthemum and plum and other seasonal flowers, which are very exquisite, Yang Tian likes it very much, and guesses two with great interest, and thinks that the riddle is simple, and does not line this lantern, so he laughed and said that he would go back and make a lantern riddle, so that Shen Rui guessed.

"There are also the lights of the zodiac," Shen Rui said with a smile, "There are three zodiac signs missing, so I ordered to turn around and send them together, and the lights are also vivid, you must like it." When the time comes, you will have six riddles and I will have six riddles, and see who wins more. ”

Yang Tian clapped her hands and applauded, smiling like a flower, raising her head under the tree, looking up at the lanterns, the orange and red lights sprinkled down, reflecting her face more and more soft, and the light in her eyes was dotted, bright as stars.

Holding her little hand and looking at her smiling face, Shen Rui's heart was at peace, and he felt that the years were quiet.

Standing outside for a quarter of an hour, Yang Tian coughed a few times, Shen Rui also felt that he was a little reckless, in the end, it was cold at night, but seeing that Yang Tian was very interested, he couldn't help but pity her more and more, thinking that she was also cautious in her words and deeds in that house in the past, and she couldn't be so comfortable and happy, so she let her go, and only wrapped her more tightly.

Mother Lin was always worried, and finally couldn't help but persuade Yang Tian after a sharp cough.

Although Yang Tian was not happy, he also knew that he could no longer suffer the cold, so he also responded.

Shen Rui hurriedly sent her all the way back to the house, waited outside for her to change her clothes and lay down, and then went in to talk to her and talk about today's visitors.

Since someone poured the dirty water of the epidemic on the Yang family, and the Yang family wanted to avoid this disaster, the news of sending their daughter out of the city to recuperate must be known to everyone.

On the day Yang Tian was sent, news had already flowed out.

In addition to the Xu family and Zhao Tong, there are also a Zhan Shifu family and a Hanlin family that have always been good friends with the Yang family.

Naturally, there are also people who are suspicious of lung disease, so they only sent people to send tonic medicines, and did not let the girl in the family come to visit.

Yang Tian briefly said a few words to others before blushing and said to the Xu family: "Mrs., sister and clan relatives are all very kind," and said, "That sister-in-law of the Lu family is really a wonderful person." He learned Zhang Qingbai's words to Shen Rui.

Shen Rui said with a smile: "Last time, I also told you that I wanted to borrow two servants who knew martial arts from Uncle Wujing's mansion to accompany you to practice boxing, or ask the sixth girl to teach you, I don't want Lu Twenty-seven's sister-in-law to be a practitioner, so I will ask her to stay idle for a while in the future." ”

Yang Tian said with a smile: "No, the sixth sister doesn't have time to teach me, and when she came here today, she told me that Bu Zhuangzi would start one or two first, and when she was in time for the season to cut new clothes, she said that next time she would bring cloth to discuss with me, her business experience, I was confused." Second brother, I'm afraid I can't manage this business. ”

"The original Zhao family is in charge of the business, you don't care what you do, and you are optimistic about our family's accounts. Zhang Hui's eyes lit up at the mention of doing business at this time, these two people are really a match made in heaven. Shen Rui said with a smile, went to look at Yang Tian again, and said silently, "Just like you and me." ”

Yang Tianqiao's face flushed, and she smacked him in a low voice.

Shen Rui saw that she was shy, and he no longer teased her, so he changed the topic and smiled: "Zhang Hui also told me that the sixth girl wants to invite you to run a horse on the Zhuangzi of Wujingbo Mansion, but it's okay, they are busy with business, and they are also running horses and spring, and I am afraid that they will have to drag it out until the Double Ninth Festival." ”

Yang Tian thought of what Zhao Tong said about the joy of riding horses, and also smiled: "I don't know how to ride a horse, you can teach me well." ”

Shen Rui said: "It's not difficult at all. Our Zhuangzi is big, and we will build a horse farm in the back, and when we are ready, let's go to Zhanghuijiazhuang to win the lottery. ”

Although Yang Tian should be good, he also said: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to learn, and if I don't ride well, I will drag you back and make you lose the lottery." ”

Shen Rui straightened his face, patted his chest seriously, and said, "The famous teacher is here," and pointed at Yang Tian again, "The senior apprentice is here." He smiled again and said, "Let's combine our two swords, how can we lose?" He has a lot of good things in the British Mansion, Tian'er don't be soft, all move back to our house, rest assured, our Zhuangzi is big, and he can put it down! ”

Yang Tian laughed so hard that he couldn't speak for a long time.

After a while, Mai Dong brought medicine again and served Yang Tian to eat it.

Shen Rui remembered that Zhang Qingbai's father, Tianliangzi, was a real person, and couldn't help but tell Yang Tian the interesting story of his meeting people and stuffing medicine.

Yang Tian heard that there was also an elixir for himself, so he couldn't help but be curious, and said that Lu Twenty-seven's sister-in-law didn't mention it today.

Shen Rui smiled: "She doesn't believe it herself!" ”

Yang Tian smiled again, and asked curiously: "I haven't seen the Taoist elixir yet, what is it?" Is it made from Dansha realgar as written in the book? ”

Shen Rui laughed and said, "Dansha realgar? Add a little arsenic, the rat poison pill is just right! ”

Seeing Yang Tian glaring at him with a smile, he said solemnly: "I don't know, it's not necessarily the Jinshi Pill, many people will be infected with erysipelas if they eat the Jinshi Pill, if someone eats it badly, I'm afraid he won't dare to give the pill anymore." Since it's still giving, I think it's a hawthorn pill, sweet and sour, and it can't be eaten badly. ”

Yang Tian was still listening attentively, not wanting him to joke again while he was talking, he couldn't help but be angry and funny, thinking of the poisonous rat pill and hawthorn pill, he couldn't help but laugh again.

As soon as the Lu family was mentioned, Shen Rui briefly told Yang Tian the general meaning of the Lu family's visit, how the Shen family discussed, Wang Shouren's reaction, and the cooperation between Zhang Hui and Zhao Hongpei and him.

He should have told Yang Tian everything, and now he said this, not only to fulfill his previous promise, but also to not want Yang Tian to be idle and think nonsense, and then aggravate his condition.

"However, I'm afraid that Ming'er Baisheng won't be able to accompany you again, and I still have to go to the teacher's side." Shen Rui said apologetically.

Wang Shouren and Zhang Yongzeng fought side by side, and their relationship was much closer, and he wanted to contact Zhang Yong to talk about the eunuch guarding Liaodong, so naturally he had to find the best way from the teacher.

And he also has to go home to talk to his mother, two uncles, and the two brothers Shen Li and Shen Jin about the new development of maritime trade.

Yang Tian hurriedly said when he heard this: "Second brother, please be busy with your ......" Because he was in a hurry, he couldn't help coughing again.

Shen Rui hurriedly reached out to help her stroke her back, and held her hand tightly.

She coughed until she stopped crying, turned back to hold him, and said in a low voice: "If the second brother delays the business for me, how can I still live safely?" I can stay here for a few days with my second brother, it's already ...... No regrets. ”

The originally sweet voice was hoarse due to a long cough, and saying such ominous words in a low voice added to the sadness and made people feel sad.

Shen Rui felt a heart-wrenching pain, and he also knew that although Yang Tian had moved to Zhuangshang and had a mental head, his condition did not improve because of this.

He knew that he was anxious, and it was not a feng shui problem, and he would be cured immediately if he changed places, and this disease had to be slowly regulated, but seeing his sweetheart uncomfortable, he was also very tormented.

However, he did not speak softly to persuade him, but made a relaxed gesture, nodded the tip of Yang Tian's nose, and said with a smile: "You are sad and sad, but it makes me feel more and more guilty." If you like Zhuangzi, let's stay longer, and there are lotus flowers in the pond in the summer. ”

He also said: "Mother is also old, I heard that Tangquan Zhuangzi is very good to the elderly, and there are several Tangquan around Gyeonggi, waiting for me to visit and search, let's also put one, you are happy to be in Zhuangzi, we will come to live with my mother." I also feel comfortable in Zhuangzi. ”

Yang Tian looked at him for a long time before he smiled and answered softly.

The two chatted for a while, and Shen Rui asked Yang Tian to rest.

Because she was tired but couldn't sleep, he went to the study to take the pen and ink scroll, and studied on the table outside the bed, until the second watch, when he got up and moved his muscles, he heard Yang Tian breathing evenly, knowing that she was asleep, so he instructed the night watch maid to go back to the study by himself.

Early the next morning, Shen Rui got up and practiced boxing in the courtyard before going to the upper room to have breakfast with Yang Tian.

Although Yang Tian woke up three times, every time he woke up, he asked people to open the window to see the lanterns, thinking about Shen Rui's intentions, but he no longer felt that the long night was difficult.

When he woke up in the morning, Yang Tian also looked at the window for a while Shen Rui boxing, and when Shen Rui came in, he personally twisted a hot towel and handed it to him.

Shen Rui didn't say anything if you don't move, he took it very naturally, and asked Yang Tian how well he slept last night and what he wanted to eat this morning.

Just like those couples who have been together for many years.

Yang Tian's heart was like honey, and he just thought, if this day has been like this, how harmonious and beautiful it should be!

After breakfast, Shen Rui told the maid and servant again, asking Yang Tian not to lie down all the time, and to get up and move the tea kung fu every hour, but also pay attention to dizziness, palpitations, poor breathing and other problems, so he drove the horse back to the city and went to Wang Shouren's mansion.

*

Wang Shouren also sighed at the chaos in Liaodong, but he also said: "The eunuchs in various places are probably like this. Sending out to guard the town is like sending out to make money. Like Zhang Yong, Father-in-law Zhang, who knows how to use soldiers and is willing to do practical things, there are too few commissions, and it is also my luck to be able to meet Father-in-law Zhang in this crackdown on bandits. ”

Shen Rui also sighed, most of the Ming royal family don't believe in generals and eunuchs, get a town guard eunuch, a eunuch in the army, and a local general is a hero in the world, and if you want to do something, you have to hold this group of eunuchs, if you meet Zhang Yong like this, if you meet Zhu Xiu, it will be a trouble.

Although after the Taihu bandits returned to Beijing, Wang Shouren and Zhang Yongmian had no more contacts, in fact, they never broke off their relationship.

The eunuchs with heads and faces in the palace have private residences outside the palace, even Liu Zhong is no exception, not to mention Zhang Yong.

"His house is in the Clarification Workshop, not far from your house." Wang Shouren said, "It's not easy for me to come forward in this matter." ”

Shen Rui naturally understood, and said yes again and again, and asked Changshou to follow Chang'an beside Wang Shouren to go to the mansion over there and send a post to the Shen mansion.

Because the Liaodong trade was also tied to the construction of sea ships, it was not appropriate to delay it for a long time, and he also asked Zhang Hui in the palace to try to say hello to Zhang Yong, and asked him to take the time to see him in the next two days.

In this case, Shen Rui had seen Zhang Yong in Songjiang, but at that time, although Zhang Yong was a poor Qincha, his grade was not high, and Shen Rui was a disciple of Wang Shouren, and he did not talk much between the two sides, but he was very harmonious.

And now, Zhang Yong is already the eunuch of the palm seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

The Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Ministry of War and the Governor jointly hold the military handle, which is actually the "cardinal house" of the inner court, and also manages the Huangzhuang Huangdian in the grassland, and manages the finances with the households, etc., and is equivalent to the general housekeeper of the inner court, and can almost compete with the master of ceremonies who is known as the "inner minister".

What it will look like when a person holds power, Shen Rui is not sure.

Wang Shouren told Shen Rui everything he knew about Zhang Yong's temperament and temperament, and then considered some rhetoric with Shen Rui.

"Father-in-law Zhang should also be happy to see this happen." Wang Shouren said, "If the people trained by Gonggong Zhang can really guard Liaodong, it is the luck of the border army in Liaodong, and I am afraid it is also the luck of the people of Liaodong." ”

*

After bidding farewell to Wang Shouren, Shen Ruisi's third master, Shen Run, Shen Li, and Shen Jin should all be on duty, so they sent people back to invite Shen Zhou to come out, and prepared to gather at the Huanxi Sha Tea House, an industry outside the Hanlin Academy.

Shen Li and Shen Jin were the closest and arrived first.

It's just that both of them don't look very good.

Shen Rui guessed that Shen Li was a husband and wife dispute, so his face was not good, but he didn't know why Shen Jin was for.

And Shen Jin is also very eccentric, when he enters the private room, he has a bitter face, and he wants to speak several times and stops, and occasionally sighs.

Shen Rui couldn't help frowning, but then asked Shen Jin, and inevitably asked Shen Li again, and Shen Li's affairs were not easy to say, so he simply didn't ask, whoever wanted to say it.

He personally gathered a cup of tea, only saying that it was a matter of shipbuilding and Liaodong maritime trade, and waited for the two uncles to discuss it together.

The three of them sat down to drink tea, and the room was quiet, only to hear a few shouts from outside the window.

Shen Jin had hot tea in his mouth, but his heart seemed to be fried, and he almost couldn't sit still, he looked at Shen Li more than once, but saw that Shen Li only had a calm face, lowered his eyes, and tasted tea seriously, and then looked at Shen Rui, it was a fugue expression.

Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer, coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "Second brother, I'...... I have something to say to you. ”

Shen Rui glanced at him in some surprise, "Brother Jin has something to look for me?" As he spoke, he looked at Shen Li again.

Shen Jin sneered: "Sixth brother...... I have already told him. ”

Shen Rui was even more confused, and even wondered if Shen Jin wanted to borrow money, so he asked Shen Li first, and Shen Li had a falling out with the Xie family, but he was afraid that the silver would not be easy to come up with.

He smiled and said, "Brother Jin, please speak." ”

Shen Jin opened his mouth, but somehow, he didn't say a word, his face turned red, and in Shen Rui's surprised eyes, he finally said with difficulty: "Last night...... Master Zhang summoned me to his house and ...... with me Said a family business. ”

The word "family affair" is extremely difficult to say, as if it is talking about a funeral.

Shen Rui became more and more surprised, what kind of family affair made it difficult for his brother, who had always been quite a gentleman, to be like this.

Seat Master...... Shen Rui thought about it in his heart, so that Shen Jin could call him a teacher, that is, the examiner of the township examination, Master Zhang...... Will test the examiner Zhang Yuanzhen?!

Isn't Zhang Yuanzhen going to marry the Shen Li family?!

Shen Rui unconsciously looked at Shen Li, thinking about the fact that the Xie family had also intended to find a side branch girl to match Shen Jin, but in the end, it didn't work out, and now that Zhang Yuanzhen has just married Shen Li's family, could it be that he mentioned with Shen Jin a family matter that made the Xie family dissatisfied, making it difficult for Shen Li to do, so that Shen Li would be pale?

While thinking about it, I only heard Shen Jin say: "...... Mention the ...... The second girl of Shouning Houfu. ”

Shen Rui even reacted for a moment before he thought of who the second girl of the Hou Mansion of Shouning was, and his face suddenly became ugly, he put down the tea cup in his hand, neither light nor heavy, and stared at Shen Jin and said, "Big brother agreed?" ”

Shen Jin hung his head in frustration, his voice was full of helplessness, "Second brother, how can I not know ......!" However, Lord Zhang personally spoke, and said that the queen mother in the palace was a big matchmaker, and the emperor was ...... The emperor has also agreed. Second Brother...... Although it is not a clear order, I ...... How can I resist disobedience?! ”

The flesh on his face twitched, his eyes closed in pain, and he said word by word: "I admit that I was born as a concubine and my biological mother...... has a humble status, thanks to his mother's upbringing, and ...... And the mother-in-law died early, the family was strict and immoral, and now she is still locked up in the ancestral hall, and the stepmother is the daughter of the He family...... With such a doorway and such a style, it is really unworthy of Houmen Gaohua......"

Shen Rui's eyebrows moved slightly, this is indeed the limit that Shen Jin can say.

Shen Jin never seemed to care about the identity of the concubine, but in fact, he just forced himself not to care, deep down, he was still extremely disgusted with this identity, and he studied hard to get rid of the shackles of this identity.

His biological mother Zheng was also a good concubine when she entered the house, which was not a humble status, since Zheng's younger brother became a non-commissioned officer with the same jin, Zheng's waist became more and more straight, and Shen Jin even took Zheng to live with him after entering Beijing, and let him say that his birth mother was humble, which had forced him to a dead end.

As for the ugliness of his family, it is nothing, Shen Yuan's behavior has long been investigated by someone with a heart.

Hearing this, Shen Li's face softened slightly, and Shen Rui still stared at Shen Jin and listened to him.

Shen Jin squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Lord Zhang said that these queen mothers and the Hou Mansion naturally all know that since they have proposed family affairs, they are worthy of the champion." ”

Champion Lang deserves it.

In the final analysis, what you want is just the identity of the champion.

"Lord Zhang asked, do you still have to go to Songjiang to ask Ling Zun first?" Shen Jin has already covered his face.

What kind of parents' orders matchmaker words, can you ask Shen Yuan about this marriage? Shen Yuan was only afraid that he was so happy that he was going to fly to the sky, so he hurriedly agreed not to say anything, and he couldn't tell how he would take advantage of the situation to be arrogant.

"Master Zhang talked about the champions of the previous dynasties, and one person came out in three years, but there are only a few names in history." There was sarcasm in Shen Jin's voice, "He said that he hoped that I would be like the old man of Xie Ge in the dynasty, and I would live up to my reputation as the champion." ”

The subtext of this is that champions are not uncommon, and officialdom is full of failures. If Shen Jin Congzhi, he may have such a creation as Xie Ge Lao in the future, if he doesn't follow, he will be a member of the halberd over there.

"Lord Zhang said that the Queen Mother is waiting for a reply." Shen Jin said softly, "Let me go to the Shouning Marquis Mansion to propose marriage in the next two days." ”

The voice grew weaker and weaker, as if it had turned into a sigh.

"Zhang's family." Shen Rui laughed angrily, and spit out coldly, "It's too much to deceive people." ”

Shen Li also let out a long sigh.

The Zhang family has just pushed the daughter-in-law of the Shen family into the river - the fate of the sick bed is still unknown, but he married his daughter to the children of the Shen family, and it is the half-brother of Shen Rui's original family.

The cow didn't drink water and pressed his head strongly, lifted out the queen mother, and put down the cruel words that hindered the future.

The Zhang family and the Shen family still have an old account, separated by the life of Shen Luo, the only son of the third room.

As soon as Shen Li entered the Hanlin Academy in the morning, he met Shen Jin, who was waiting for him, and he was also angry when he learned about it, and he was also very dissatisfied with Zhang Yuanzhen.

Zhang Yuanzhen became friends with Li Gelao, and took the initiative to marry Xie Gelao, and now he has become a messenger for his relatives.

Is it really a good thing to marry someone like this?

Shen Li complained even more about the Xie family and even the Xie family.

As for Shen Jin's marriage, no matter how bad the Zhang family's women are, and the Zhang family's relatives have a very bad reputation, with this sentence The queen mother is a big media, what can the Shen family do?

Shen Li dusted off his clothes, glanced at Shen Rui, who was glaring angrily, and only said, "The Shen family has been divided." ”

In the final analysis, this is just a matter of the fourth room, but Shen Jin is alone.

Shen Jin can only be one person, and the Zhang family takes a fancy to the identity of the champion, either the Shen family, or marrying Shen Jin, nor marrying the Shen family.

Perhaps, in the future, Shen Jin will stand up to represent the wishes of his relatives Zhang family, just like the old brand of Xie Ge on Shen Li's body now, but the Shen family itself is neutral, and they are not biased towards the Xie family, let alone the Zhang family.

A smile slowly bloomed on Shen Rui's face, so faint that he was almost invisible, he nodded and said: "The Shen family has been divided, and the matter of the four rooms should be decided by the eldest brother of Zongzi Jin, not to mention, only the elders can be the masters of marriage." ”

After that, Shen Rui stood up, saluted the two of them, and said, "The two brothers are on duty, it's not good to come out for too long, it's the younger brother who is reckless, and I ask the two brothers to forgive me, and the younger brother will leave." ”

Shen Jin looked at Shen Rui in a daze, opened his mouth, but finally smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Since he married the Zhang family and involved confidential matters such as shipping, he would not enter his ears again.

Shen Jin's mouth was bitter, and his heart was not even more tasteful, so he only lowered his head.

Shen Li sighed, only waved his hand, and didn't want to say anything more.

Shen Ruili turned around neatly and went downstairs, and instructed the two elders to go to the road to stop Shen Zhou and Shen Run respectively, and ask them to go back to the house to talk again.

He was riding a horse back, and he took the car to pull those lanterns when he returned to the village, but at this time he was restless, afraid that he would be depressed for a while, and hurt people, so he simply took the car back to the house.

The moment the curtain was lowered, he couldn't help it anymore, slammed a small purple sand pot out, and cursed a few words in a low voice.

The little pot was the size of a fist, polished smoothly and unusually strong, and smashed on the inner wall of the carriage, but it did not break, but bounced, rolled out of the curtain, and fell only on the street, and finally with a crisp sound, it shattered.

The coachman outside hurriedly grabbed the reins, and Changshou, who was following the car, also hurriedly leaned over and asked, "What do you have the second master's command?" ”

At this fork, Shen Rui calmed down a little, he took a deep breath, and said, "It's okay." Let's go home. ”

Changshou looked down at the torn purple clay pot on the ground, and without saying a word, he gestured to the coachman.

The coachman did not dare to ask, and with a flick of the reins, the carriage began to move again, a little more stable than before, and a little faster.

*

Back at the house, Shen Rui went straight to the main courtyard before he could change his clothes.

He was discussing with Xu about cutting next season's clothes, and when he heard the little maid hurriedly come to report, he hurriedly got up and avoided it.

When Shen Rui sent people back to the house to invite Shen Zhou, he did not alarm the Xu family. At this time, when the Xu family heard that Shen Rui had returned, they couldn't help but be surprised, and they thought that Shen Rui was going to accompany Yang Tian for a few days.

When she saw Shen Rui come in with an ugly face, she couldn't help but get up solemnly, got up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Mother," Shen Rui exhaled and said, "Master Zhang Yuanzhen, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, protects the second girl of the Zhang family of Shouning Hou and says goodbye to Shen Jin." ”

Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, and then she understood the intentions of the Zhang family, but she didn't mention it, but glanced at Shen Rui, and then opened her mouth to call the maid outside, twist the hot towel, and bring hot tea.

Shen Rui was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xu's eyes full of concern, and his body tense from anger suddenly relaxed, he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "My son has made my mother suspenseful." ”

Xu Shi smiled and sighed: "You have always been steady, when did you make me suspenseful." It's just that you're in a hurry this time. ”

Shen Rui was pulled by Xu Shi to sit down, wiped his face and drank hot tea, and sure enough, his mind stabilized.

Seeing that his face softened, Fang whispered slowly: "I know that you are annoyed that the Zhang family is shameless, but if you think about it calmly, this is just a matter of the clan's family, and it has nothing to do with us." ”

Although the words are soft, the word "irrelevant" is extremely sonorous.

Shen Rui couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said, "The sixth brother also said that the Shen family has been divided. It's my son who is disabled. ”

Among the in-laws of the Shen family, there are the He family and the Qiao family, which harmed the Shen family, and now there are many Zhang families, which is nothing.

Whether it is for Shen Li or the Xu family, Shen Jin is just a clansman.

It's just that Shen Rui sighed in his heart, although he and Shen Jin are not close, he still subconsciously regards him as a blood brother, which makes him extremely angry, feeling that the Zhang family is too deceitful, and he has just harmed Tian'er like that, and he dares to stuff his daughter over and let Tian'er face such a concubine.

Actually, it's just a clansman.

"My son came back to discuss the matter of Liaodong Sea Trade with his uncle and brother, and he made an appointment at the Huanxi Sha Tea House in Hanlin Courtyard, but I didn't want to talk about it when the two uncles didn't arrive." Shen Rui paused, laughed at himself, and said, "My son didn't discuss anything, and came back directly." ”

He was really annoyed at the time, and directly classified Shen Jin as the Zhang family, and didn't want him to know anything about the Shen family.

Xu patted his arm and said, "Although there are only a few people in the Jingzhong clan now, they should be together, but if it is the matter of the Shen family, it is just a matter for each room to be discussed, and there is no need to work for each room." ”

Shen Rui looked at Xu and nodded, Xu meant to draw Shen Jin outside the circle.

Yes, if you think about it, you will know that Shen Jin is born with weakness in his character, and the Zhang family is powerful, he will be taken care of one day, so there is really no need to tell him about the Shen family.

Especially when the Shen and Zhang families are unsolvable.

Shen Rui gritted his teeth secretly, Zhang family, this pile of piles one by one, can't just be counted like this, let's see, one day, we will have to settle this account.

After listening to Shen Rui's brief explanation of Zhang Hui and Zhao Hongpei's plan, Xu Shi was noncommittal, and only said: "Discuss it with your second and third uncles." After a pause, she added: "It's just that although I am looking for the imperial history from the Tian family, I don't have to explain that there is too much involved in this matter." ”

Shen Rui responded: "It's just a matter of doing things with money, and my son doesn't want them to join the gang, my son will dissect and understand with the third uncle, and my mother can rest assured." ”

The mother and son agreed on it, and there was also a small servant outside to report, the second master and the third master had returned home, so Shen Rui got up and quit his mother and went to the study.

Here, Xu sat quietly for a cup of tea, and then called someone to call He to come over and told her to prepare a marriage ceremony for Shen Jinding.

The Zhang family is an enemy. But Shen Jin is a clansman, and this number of etiquette is indispensable.

When He heard that he was married to the Zhang family, he couldn't close his mouth for a long time in surprise, and then said, "This Zhang family...... What does this Zhang family think? It's already hurt the people here, and you still marry like this, and you're not afraid that the girl will not be treated by her in-laws when she marries? ”

Xu said lightly: "The Zhang family is talented, virtuous and handsome are rare, but Brother Jin'er is only a little poorer, and his character, appearance and knowledge are all superior." And this background, it's just that it's not very nice to say, the girl married, the mother-in-law is long gone, the step-mother-in-law is far away in the south, the aunt and mother-in-law are nothing, and they are not around, they are the masters of the house when they enter the door, there is no elder control, and there are no cumbersome relatives, where is it bad. ”

He was stunned, thinking of Shen Ling, who was also a concubine, was framed by her mother-in-law and finally lost her life, and she suffered from her mother-in-law's ordeal, and couldn't help but feel sad, sure enough, Shen Jin's family was not restrained.

Xu turned his head to look out the window, it was mid-spring, the grass and trees were growing, the courtyard was already full of green, but the spring breeze was still blowing with a hint of chill.

"The Zhang family, I'm afraid that I am also conceited and can handle Brother Jin'er, this uncle. Although the Songjiang Shen family has a reputation, but it is really in the court, but no one is looking for Brother Jin, and he offended Li Ge again...... Without the help of the side, this uncle can only obediently listen to the Zhang family's mercy. ”

Xu Shi retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes and flicked the tea cup in his hand, and sighed: "Brother Jin'er, where is this child...... Alas, I don't know if this marriage is a blessing for him. ”

*

Shen Zhou was stopped halfway back and returned home first.

The third master, Shen Run, went wrong with the people who greeted him, and arrived at the teahouse first. At that time, Shen Li and the two had already returned to the Hanlin Academy, and the shopkeeper told Shen Ruiliu what he said, so the third master sent someone to ask for leave in the yamen and went home.

As soon as the three of them sat down in the study, the third master asked Shen Rui casually: "The shopkeeper said that you will disperse after a while?" ”

Shen Rui said bluntly: "The Shouning Marquis Mansion proposed to marry Shen Jin, the champion prince, and it is the second miss of the Zhang family. ”

Both were taken aback.

Shen Zhou, who was killed by the Zhang family, had not yet had time to react, but the third master was a little more excited, and said angrily: "Shen Jin agreed?!" ”

Shen Rui lowered his eyes and said: "Lord Zhang, the servant of the ministry, protects the media, saying yes, the queen mother is the woman's big matchmaker, and the emperor also agreed." ”

As soon as these words came out, the room was silent.

Shen Rui was already calm, and at this time, he raised his eyes and looked at Shen Zhou's cold face and the angry eyes of the third master, he sighed and said: "This matter is a foregone conclusion, it is useless to say more, the two uncles don't have to take it to heart, the mother and the sixth brother have also persuaded the nephew, the Shen family, after all, has been divided." ”

The third master was still indignant, and said sharply: "I knew that kid was hiding ...... adultery" but he didn't say it anymore.

He was very close to the Sun family when he was a child, and later he liked Shen Rui very much, so he naturally had an instinctive dislike for Aunt Zheng's mother and son, although Shen Jin later won the champion and stayed in Beijing, and had more contact, the third master also admitted that the eldest son was not such a sinister villain, but his good feelings were limited.

This incident once again aroused his dissatisfaction, although he knew that Shen Jin was not at fault, he still couldn't help but be angry.

Shen Zhou's expression was cold and he didn't say a word.

All kinds of past events come to mind, his Luo'er, doesn't look like the Qiao family at all, but he is very similar to his grandfather, his talent also follows his grandfather, he is very good at reading, he was promoted at a young age of sixteen, and acquaintances say that he is afraid that he will not be a Jiuqing again in time.

However, there was only one Double Ninth Banquet, but what returned was Luo'er's cold body.

That was the only seedling of the three brothers in the second room, the only hope, his eyes were black, his throat was sweet, and he almost vomited out a mouthful of blood.

He also hated at the time, although he was not as crazy as his wife showed, he also knew that he almost hated crazy, but after experiencing many ups and downs, his original hatred was also consumed by the ruthless years, and many years later, he knew the real murderer who killed Luo'er, and he was left with powerlessness and helplessness.

Today, however......

He looked at Shen Rui, this kid didn't look like Luo'er at all, he looked more like Sun.

Sun's ...... The woman whose face has been blurred in her memory is him, who caused the misfortune of her life.

His treachery made her marry Songjiang, marry such an unbearable Shen Yuan, and be tortured by such a mother-in-law.

Rao is that she walked out of the lotus step by step from the mud, had a good reputation in the clan, earned a life for herself, funded a clan nephew champion, raised a concubine champion, she is already a model of a virtuous woman, however, in the end, overworked, went early.

After she went, her own son was almost tortured to death, and finally succeeded, although he is fine now, but in the end, he is no longer her son in name.

The only son under her name, the concubine who occupied the magpie's nest, became the son of the fourth room and became the champion.

Now, that concubine wants to marry the daughter of his enemy's family, and become the wife of the four-room clan.

He didn't feel angry, not at all, and he was even surprised that he wasn't.

However, from the tips of his fingers to his heart, it was cold, and under the cold, there was a surge of hatred that he had not felt for a long time.

He could clearly hear the words of Shen Rui's uncle and nephew, they had already talked about shipping, saying that they were cooperating with the British Mansion and Wujingbo Mansion, that they were in contact with the Imperial Horse Supervisor Zhang Gonggong, and that they wanted to get a Liaodong nationality from the Tian family or go to the imperial history that had something to do with Liaodong......

But it was like the wind blowing, and it didn't leave a single trace in his mind.

Finally, when their uncle and nephew finished discussing and asked him for his opinion, he opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Third brother, tomorrow, I will go to Tian's house with you, I want to meet Mrs. Tian, and I want to give a lecture in the academy." ”

The third old man opened his eyes in surprise, and said strangely: "Good and decent, why does the second brother want to teach in the academy?" He hesitated a little again, and said: "If the second brother wants to teach, Brother Huan will not ask them to go to the academy, and it is the same to open a study hall at home, and it will also save you from running around and getting tired, and the students over there are also mixed......

Although the Tian family looked at him, nine times out of ten, they invited Shen Zhou to give a lecture, and after all, Shen Zhou was a bachelor of Hanlin and had served as the priest of the country, this resume was shining, and it steadily suppressed other gentlemen in the academy.

However, Shen Zhou's dismissal was really indecent, and the third master was afraid that Shen Zhou would go to the academy, and if he met someone who couldn't open his eyes, he would be ridiculed, which was really indefatigable and annoying.

From time to time, if someone says that virtue is wrong, how can you be a teacher, and the academy will also be embarrassed.

Shen Rui also said strangely: "Second uncle...... Isn't it to write a book behind closed doors? ”

Shen Zhou waved his hand and said, "I can't hide at home for the rest of my life." ”

For a while, Shen Rui's uncle and nephew were silent.

Shen Zhou looked at his brother and nephew, and said seriously: "I also had some thoughts, but writing books is too slow." ”

Since his brother left, the Shen family has become a soft persimmon, and he is also incompetent and loses his position.

He used to be comfortable in the past, and he probably went with the flow, and his brother also said that he was a fool. However, after losing his official position, the Shen family had all kinds of changes, and the He family pressed forward step by step, which made him feel motivated.

Although he is 50 years old, there are many people in his 70s and 80s in the court, and if he can wash away the stigma on his body, he still has a chance to recover.

It is also for this reason that the book was written.

Originally, he could take his time, ten or eight years, and when people forgot the old things, he also gained prestige in Shilin with one or two books, and he could return to the court.

But not now, he can't wait for ten or eight years, three or two years, and the soft persimmon of the Shen family can be pinched to pieces; In three years and two years, his nephew also became a jinshi and stepped into the official career, and he needed someone to escort him.

He still has to ,...... Revenge for Luo'er.

Let's give lectures, lectures are the fastest, as long as the students he brings out are promoted and won the jinshi, he will have prestige. Even if he is still in the opposition, there are also his students who speak out on his behalf in the court.

Shen Zhou solemnly said to his younger brother and nephew: "I think, with a few students, it will be more than a year before the autumn season, and there is still something to be done." ”nt
