In the few posts that were sent out before, except for Shen Lin's post that he couldn't come back and forth, several other places gave affirmative answers.

For Shen Lin not to come, Shen Rui felt a deep pity in his heart, but it was not good to be reluctant.

On the evening of the day before the banquet, Yang Zhongyan came to the door with a bitter face.

"A friend heard that there was an ice frolic here, and he had to come with him. I really can't push it, but it's not good to bring someone over directly, so I come over and ask if it's cheap. If it's not cheap, I'll think of a reason for it tomorrow, and I won't come directly......" Yang Zhongyan asked.

When Shen Jue heard this, "Ha Lu Ha" smiled and said, "Cousin Yang is too careful, it's just a game of a few people, what's the point of having one more and one less?" ”

Yang Zhongyan's expression eased and looked at Shen Rui, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

If it was Shen Jue who invited the host, Yang Zhongyan would not have gone like this. This time it was Shen Rui who invited the guests, this cousin Yang Zhongyan couldn't see through, he seemed to be gentle, but he was not far from each family, which made Yang Zhongyan quite jealous in his heart and did not dare to be presumptuous.

Shen Rui didn't want to make a fuss, but thinking about Yang Zhongyan's temperament, if the other party really forced him, he wouldn't make a special trip to this experience, and he would definitely not come directly. It's not that the situation persecuted him and embarrassed him, that is, there is a bit of true friendship.

Things gather people in groups, although Yang Zhongyan likes to eat, drink and have fun, he is an authentic gentleman, but he is a generous and hearty character.

When Shen Rui and Shen Jue first entered the Heishang Mansion, most of the relatives and children on the side watched their brothers, and only Yang Zhongyan, a cheap cousin, took the initiative to post it and was enthusiastic.

Thinking of this, Shen Rui nodded and said, "What Brother Jue said is that one more friend is also lively, and Cousin Yang is too careful."

Yang Zhongyan hesitated for a moment and said, "The two cousins are not outsiders, I have to say it in front, my friend's identity is a little embarrassing." When I was in Guozijian before, many classmates disliked it. If you find it troublesome, I won't bring him. ”

Shen Jue said curiously: "Aren't the Yin Sheng of Guozijian all nobles and third-grade officials and above?" How can there be an embarrassing identity? ”

Shen Rui thought of someone and said, "Could it be that Cousin Yang's classmate and friend are surnamed Xu?" ”

Yang Zhongyan nodded and said, "It's Xu Wu, although his brain is not very bright, he is quite honest with others." ”

Xu Wu's identity is indeed sensitive. Everyone knew that his biological mother was the cousin of the late Changguo Gong and the nephew of the queen's mother, but the Zhang family did not admit it.

Shen Rui frowned, feeling a little troublesome.

Seeing this, Yang Zhongyan sighed in his heart, but he didn't blame Shen Rui.

Guozijian's Yin Sheng did not want to see Xu Wu, and the reason why he was afraid of the Zhang family was also because his biological mother was a maid, and it was just because of his identity as a concubine.

Even if the Shen family is a civil official, there is no reason to offend the queen's brothers. At the beginning of last year, Shen Cang went to Zhang's house to apologize when his nephew collided with Jianchangbo, which also caused criticism. Shen Rui has always acted steadily, and it is reasonable to be careful and careful in making friends.

Seeing Yang Zhongyan's gloomy expression, Shen Rui smiled.

Everyone hates and avoids Xu Wu, but Yang Zhongyan's sleek temperament can be regarded as a friend, which shows that the other party also has merits. When he was at Tongzhou Wharf last year, Yang Zhongyan mentioned that Xu Wu was still a "troublesome essence", and he didn't even introduce everyone to him, but now he is regarded as a friend.

It's just a party, why think about Brother Shou in everything, but lose your nature.

"Ming'er is going to be icy, Cousin Yang don't forget to tell your friend, it's best to wear thick cotton clothes, and save yourself from playing outside in the cold." Shen Ruidao.

Yang Zhongyan was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded busily.

Shen Jue said with a little triumph: "Ming'er still has to compete, everyone wants to be brilliant."

Yang Zhongyan raised his eyebrows and said: "I don't dare to say anything else, if it's Bingxi, my cousin is not afraid." If it's not as good as you guys who grew up in the south, it's too waste......"

Shen Jue said with a smile: "Okay, then wait and see"

It was getting late, and Yang Zhongyan didn't want to stay long, so he left in a hurry.

Shen Juefang remembered it in hindsight and said, "That Xu Wu is the one who stopped Mrs. Changguotai's sedan chair in the Tongzhou dock last year?" Cousin Yang didn't dislike him before, how could he be friends with him? ”

Shen Rui said: "Who knows how to do it...... But since I'm a friend of Cousin Yang, I'll only see you tomorrow......"

Shen Jue nodded and said, "I know." It doesn't matter if he's the queen's nephew or not, in our eyes, it's good to just be a friend of my cousin......"

The next day, it was a rare sunny day, and the sky was clear.

Shen Rui changed into thick cotton clothes, this "thick" is compared with the previous clothes, but there is no bloated of a few catties of cotton to make a set of cotton clothes and cotton pants of ordinary people.

The reason why it is more cold is because the cotton wool inside is half cotton and half silk. In the position of elbows, knees, and buttocks, Xu specially asked people to thicken.

Because the New Year is approaching, this cotton coat is red.

There is also a matching cotton hat with white mink fur trimming.

Shen Rui wore a new cotton coat and looked sturdy, but with red lips and white teeth, he looked several years younger.

Shen Rui looked in the mirror, like a big fuwa.

Although Shen Rui has always been insensitive to red and green clothes, he has no intention of taking off the clothes on his body.

As for the other set of royal blue, I kept it as a replacement.

Shen Rui didn't have breakfast and went directly to the upper room.

Seeing Shen Rui come in in this costume, Shen Cang couldn't help but be surprised.

Shen Rui smiled shyly and said, "Today I was greedy, I came to rub my father's soup and drank it......"

Shen Cang is old, frail and cold, and has to drink a bowl of wolfberry angelica mutton soup every morning since the beginning of winter. Shen Rui and Shen Jue are young and hot, and the mutton is dry, so there is no such soup on the menu.

Xu had a smile between his eyebrows, and hurriedly asked someone to go to the kitchen to spread the word.

Shen Rui often found all kinds of excuses to come to the main room for breakfast, but it was just a sense of filial piety. The Xu family didn't know where to look at Shen Rui more seriously.

After watching it for two years, she also saw that Shen Rui was a soft-hearted child.

Young people are reading and have new friends, where can they be lonely? The lonely one is she, the old woman in the house

This time, he concentrated on asking someone to make a red dress for Shen Rui, and Xu didn't think he would wear it, but it was just a whim

Shen Rui is like a little adult, which makes parents feel a little uncomfortable. Xu was both pleased with Shen Rui's sensibility, but also regretted that he couldn't take care of him more.

Shen Rui sat down under Shen Cang, Shen Cang looked at it several times, nodded and said, "It's the first time I've seen my second brother wearing red clothes, and I'm really happy to look at it." ”

Shen Rui looked down at his body: "Isn't it immature?" ”

Shen Cang touched his beard and said, "How old are you?" If you are calm and steady, don't be too heavy, and your mother will be happier to show a little child...... She can't wait for you to be coquettish with her......"

Shen Rui could only laugh, and it was difficult to answer.

From time to time to accompany Xu, he can do it; If you really want to be coquettish like a child, I'm afraid there is no hope in this life.

Xu glanced at Shen Cang with a smile: "Look at what the old man said, it seems that I hope that Brother Rui is ignorant...... Brother Rui's knowledge, appearance, temperament, and behavior are all appropriate, ask outside, who doesn't praise our Brother Rui for being a good boy......"

Shen Cang was not overjoyed when he heard this, but frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "There is no gold without red gold, and no one is perfect." Where is there anyone who will be good everywhere? Even if it is exaggerated, it seems fake, and it cannot be seen as deceitful by nature...... Second brother, you also weigh and weigh, don't press your temperament too hard, you always have to show some small faults outside, so that you can look down-to-earth......"

Shen Rui got up and listened, and listened to these words.

He is now in Fuxue and his family, and he has not had much contact with outsiders, but as long as Brother Shou is here, someone will always pay attention to him.

If he behaves perfectly, then as Shen Cang said, he will feel that his city is deep in the eyes of others.

It's just that he is not a fourteen-year-old boy after all, and he is too far away from the real boyhood, and he is a little embarrassed: "What my father taught is exact, but my son is reckless and dull, and it is difficult to think about it for a while, so what good advice does my father have."

Shen Cang was stunned by the question.

Shen Rui's behavior falls in their eyes, if you really want to find faults, except for being too old and lacking in youthful vitality, you really can't find fault with anything else.

"Second brother think about it yourself, this little problem is not revealed once or twice, you have to believe it yourself, and others will believe it. It is easy to install for three or five days, but it is difficult to install it for three or five years. Shen Cang thought for a while and said.

Shen Rui didn't have a clue for a while, and Xu Shi smiled: "If you want to say that Brother Rui's body has problems, it's not that there is nothing...

Shen Cang and Shen Rui looked at Xu in unison.

Xu said with a smile: "Brother Rui, the eldest brother has done too thoroughly, Brother Jue is only one day younger than you, but he cares for you like a child." Sister Yu is the same, but they are brothers and sisters who are one year apart, but they are well planned for her. The fourth brother is still young, and the third aunt is watching, but it is not ...... for a while."

When Shen Cang heard this, he was thoughtful.

Shen Rui was a little embarrassed, thinking if he had crossed the line? Shen Jue's side should have been cared for by the elders of the second room; Since Sister Yu has become the daughter of the long house, it is natural that the Xu family is worried about her. Before yourself, did you worry about it and annoy people?

Shen Cang opened his mouth and said: "Although it is too much in the eyes of outsiders, in the hearts of me and your mother, I am optimistic about its success...... In my opinion, that's fine. Even if you act too much and others can't get used to it, you can still be a good character when you look at it carefully, and you can't say it's bad......"

Xu agreed: "That's exactly the truth. Brother Rui does a good job, but he is too thoughtful in front of people, and at your age, occasionally there are small mistakes, and it is just a momentary mood. ”

The couple only thought about how to let Shen Rui behave in the world and have a good impression in front of people, but they didn't really regard him as a cold-hearted person with a city government because of his youth and old achievements.

Such a pure teaching made Shen Rui very moved.

The family of three had breakfast, and Shen Rui personally sent Shen Cang to the gate.

Not long after returning to Jiuruju, Shen Jue came over. He was also dressed in new cotton clothes, but not red, but plain.

Mrs. Qiao died, and Shen Jue, the grandson, was required to serve Xiaogong for five months according to the system. This is also the reason why this small banquet of the Shen family was a post made by Shen Rui alone, rather than a joint name of the two cousins.

Shen Jue's eyes lit up and said, "Second brother, let's go to the ice rink to practice first......
