Shen Yan's heart sank suddenly.

He immediately stood up and said with a cold face: "Before introducing it to the noble bottle, this is the explanation that Zhou Xianggong gave me?" ”

Zhou Xiucai's face showed surprise and said, "What's wrong with this?" If your brothers want to gain a foothold in the capital, they always have to find a backer, if it weren't for the fact that he had a contract with Brother Shen Xian, I wouldn't like to worry about this...... As for your Yue's family, it's just a broken household, and you don't know which one to rely on, where can you mention a virtuous brother? ”

Shen Yan said: "Zhou Xianggong is kind, Shen understands it...... It's just that now I'm just living in the capital, concentrating on preparing for the exam, and I really don't have the intention of clinging to the nobles......"

Zhou Xiucai's face was a little ugly: "Brother Shen Xian, is this annoying me?" ”

After living in the neighborhood for half a year, Zhou Xiucai saw that Shen Yan was not a pedantic person, he was an ambitious young man, but now that the opportunity came, he disdained it, what was this for?

How can a person's temperament change when he says that he will change, is this not giving him face?

Shen Yan shook his head and said: "It's me who is wrong first, Zhou Xianggong is not an ordinary person, but Shen Yan does not regard himself as a confidant and friend, and now he has learned a lesson. ”

In a word, Zhou Xiucai was embarrassed.

He reads diligently, but he has no talent, so he admires people who are good at reading. intersected with Shen Yan before, but it was not intentionally used, but he really admired him, and because he was a young man, he was somewhat speculative and showed favor, but he was also a little sincere, and he could pull the line from it to let Shen Yan "ghostwrite" indeed conceal something.

Zhou Xiucai said with a bit of flattery: "Brother Shen Xian, don't worry, although Brother Wei didn't say this matter clearly before, he didn't have the intention of harming Brother Xian...... If you are a bystander, Brother Wei will never pull Brother Shen Xian in, it is really arranged by a nobleman, but for Brother Shen Xian, it is not necessarily a bad thing, and it is not a problem to say that fame and fortune are not a problem......"

He didn't explicitly say the identity of the nobleman, but there was already temptation in his words.

Shen Yan could only smile bitterly: "I still thank Zhou Xianggong, but Shen is focused on studying books, and he has no intention of caring about him...... Ling Lang's class, if Zhou Xianggong can be trusted, Shen will continue to do his best. If there is something offended, please ask Zhou Xianggong for the sake of my youth and forgiveness. "When it comes to the worst, it has been long to the end.

Zhou Xiucai saw that Shen Yan's life was not very spacious, and he was going to marry at the end of the year, so he had the heart to pull him, but he didn't expect that he didn't appreciate it, and he didn't even want to do it with his friends.

Although Zhou Xiucai is just a showman, the Zhou family is an old household in Ming Shifang. If he were someone else, he would have been annoyed if he didn't know how to lift up like this, but Shen Yan put down his lower body like this, faintly pleading, and he was at fault again, even if he held back the fire, he couldn't get out.

Shen Yan didn't want to participate in the battle between the powerful, but he didn't want to offend Zhou Xiucai plainly, so he brought Xiao Zhou up to ease up.

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake of the ground, not to mention that he is not a "dragon crossing the river" at all.

As for Zhou Xianggong's kindness, if he can "make his own opinion" once, there will be a next time.

Shen Yan knew that their brother was very weak, and he couldn't afford to cling to the so-called "nobleman" at all. can regard the champions as child's play, and print and sell "fake books" in the capital, and that person's identity is worthy of being a "nobleman".

But now that the civil government is governing the country, the nobles are all honored, and they are also afraid of impeachment by the imperial history.

If it is a person who protects his shortcomings and is responsible, that person lets the person who has a relationship with the champion be the "gunman", his mind is dark and weird, and it is also to prevent things from getting bigger. Otherwise, regardless of it, why bother looking for such a "gunman."

If you are afraid, you will have less responsibility, and things will make a big fuss, and it will be him Shen Yan who is the top tank.

Shen Yan is not stupid, how can he still get around such a "nobleman"?

Inside Chaoyangmen, it was a prosperous place in the city, and the bookstores there would not be owned by ordinary people.

As a waiter in the Criminal Department, it was not difficult for Shen Cang to send someone to inquire about the owner of the bookstore. The proprietor behind the bookstore is now the outstanding figure among the nobles, Jianchang Bo Zhang Yanling.

"It turned out to be him, it's not surprising" Shen Cang said to Shen Rui: "At the beginning of March, there was a royal history to impeach Jian Changbo, for the sake of this bookstore, and the crime of printing and selling 'books that hinder morality, insulting Swen'. Now Jian Changbo has printed the Confucian book, but it is such a printing method. ”

Shen Rui said curiously: "Uncle Jian Chang is a family of relatives, shouldn't he be more cautious and cautious?" Why do you dare to offend the old courtiers because of small profits? ”

Shen Cang stroked his beard and said: "If you offend, you will be offended, if your relatives and ministers are good at making a mess, then it should be the emperor who can't sleep." As for money, who has much to spare? The shops in the capital, the grange in Baoding Mansion, and the Zhang family's participation in the matter are still less? It's almost the same to say that he has a small braid, and he has a relative who is greedy for money and mediocre, and he can rest assured that he is both inside and out."

It's just an imperial mind.

When Shen Rui heard this, his heart settled down.

With Xie Qian's pavilion elder in front of him, Wang Hua and Shen Li are nothing.

Xie Qian? As long as he is in power today, he will be as stable as Mount Tai, and this "fake book" storm will not reveal any storms

Within two days, a "good story" came out.

Xie Qian Xie Ge Lao saw the "forgery" behind his signature Zhuangyuan anthology, and he was quite appreciative, not only did he not pursue the other party's "impostor", but he also knew that the other party was also from Yuyao, and he was a member of the Panzhi clan who fell to the first rite test last year.

For a while, how many people sighed, only hating that they were not from the Yuyao clan or the Xie clan.

With Xie Qian's "Pearl and Jade in the Front", other champions are also very much attention-grabbing. The collection of champions published this time is a set, which includes all the champions of the dynasty.

However, to the disappointment of the "audience", the other champions did not move at all.

Shen Rui watched coldly, and he also understood that if others accepted the "gunman", they would be suspected of "following the example of the East"; If you don't accept it, it will be unkind in comparison. Since it is not pleasing to everyone, Yu Crisp ignores it.

The champion anthology on Shen Li's desk is the one sent by Shen Rui.

Shen Li was a little interested, read the article later, was faintly disappointed, and complained to Shen Rui: "This is too foolish, even if you want to be fake, you have to find a decent gunman and come out......

Shen Rui's own article was "criticized" by Yang Tinghe, but he didn't think that Shen Yan was really undesirable because of this, the champion was Wen Kui, and their vision was higher than that of ordinary people.

Just thinking about the spring of the year after tomorrow, Shen Rui said: "Sixth brother, how do you see Shen Yan's article?" Is there hope for that subject in the year after tomorrow? ”

When Shen Li heard this, he frowned and thought for a while, and was half silent.

"Sixth brother can't see it either? Can it be up or down? Shen Rui was surprised.

To tell the truth, Shen Yan's previous examination was enough to surprise Shen Rui. After all, when he was in Songjiang, he wasn't even a succuba, but an epiphyte.

If the township test is really so good, the lifting people will not be called "golden lifting people" by the world.

Shen Li shook his head and said, "No." I wonder who was the chief examiner of the Nanzhili Township Examination last year, if it was someone from other provinces, such a level would not be able to pass...... Jiangnan is a place where scholars gather, and I always feel that this kind of fire is still lacking, if there is no inside information, I can only say that Shen Yan's luck is too good......"

Shen Rui said secretly: Isn't it lucky? lost his father at a young age, but the two brothers were so famous; At the beginning, I couldn't stay in Songjiang, but when I arrived in Nanjing, I was able to smoothly become a lifter, and then I got the Qiao family to be the Yue family. If Master Qiao has no official wrongs, Old Lady Qiao has not died, and Master Qiao San has Jiangnan's resume and qualifications, Gao Sheng's promotion is certain, and it can be regarded as a reliance.

A few champions didn't move, waiting to see the lively scholars, and they bought and compared the "pseudo-anthology" with the names of several other champions, and felt that they really wanted to. It's not that other princes don't mention their juniors, it's that other "gunmen" have an ordinary article.

Suddenly, there were fewer people who envied the Xie clan, and more people who laughed at other "gunmen".

Even here in Nancheng Academy, when the scholar mentioned this matter, he was also sour: "It turned out to be Jianchangbo's bookstore, no wonder it was such a big stroke." If nothing else, the previous genuine article, if it weren't for Jian Changbo's appearance, it would not have been collected so completely; As for the dog-tailed mink in the back, I don't know which kid ancestor burned high incense and got such an opportunity, but it was a straw bale, and he made a bullshit article, otherwise wouldn't he be another guest in the Champion Mansion? ”

Shen knew the inside story, and he could grind his teeth when he heard it.

In his early years, he would have stood up immediately, but now he knows what it is. He has been instructed by Shen Yan not to publicize this matter to the outside world.

Now that there is a lot of rumor outside, the forgeries of several "gunmen" have also been mispicked word by word by the red-eyed scholars and belittled to the dust. While Shen held back his anger, he was also secretly glad that fortunately outsiders didn't know that one of them was Shen Yan, otherwise their brothers would not be able to gain a foothold in Nancheng Academy.

As for Shen Rui and Shen Jue, who were in the know, Shen was only worried for a moment, and then left it behind. If the two brothers really have ill will towards their brother, it will not be bad for this little braid. If you are worried about the two of them, you might as well worry about Zhou Xiucai.

Shen sulked while worrying about the impact of this matter on his brother.

After the initial panic, Shen Yan calmed down. What made him embarrassed was the conditions put forward by Shen Rui.

He could see that Shen Rui did not mean to embarrass himself when he said such things, but to express his attitude on behalf of Shangshu Mansion. Although the ancestors of the two families are of the same origin, they are separated by human lives, and there is only hatred and no grace. Even in the fame of the two brothers, Shangshufu had no intention of embarrassing, but he had no intention of showing kindness. The "exchange" is also proposed for the purpose of not being compatible with each other in the future.

Now that he has a top name "forgery", although Shen Li has no intention of pursuing it so far, it does not mean that Shen Li will not know about this matter. Although Shen Yan did not have much contact with Shen Rui, he also knew that Shen Rui had studied with Shen Li in his early years when he was filial to his mother in Songjiang. Far and near relatives are estranged, do you need to talk about it?

Master Qiao San "valued" him and had to marry a daughter, because he was from Songjiang and surnamed Shen; Zhou Xiucai tricked him and pulled him into the game of powerful people, for the sake of this.

Was the insistence of my father and grandfather right?

Speaking of which, before the Songjiang Shen family made its career, it was just an ordinary family......
