Shen Yue moved to the second room a few days ago, and Zhu Yunming also went to Beijing. He originally planned to live in the Suzhou Hall with his fellow villagers, but when he came to visit, he was taught a lesson by the Xu family and still lived in the Shen family's guest house.

Since the second room went south, the Shen house has been deserted, and the Xu family can't wait for the family to be lively, and the family and nephews have stayed, not to mention the nephew Zhu Yunming.

As early as before Zhu Yunming arrived in Beijing, the Xu family mentioned this matter to the eldest master, and the guest house was prepared early.

The happiest is the third master, Zhu Yunming has been in Beijing several times before, and he is familiar with the third master.

Now with Shen Yue, the three of them are speculative when they talk.

Before, everyone used to talk about Danqing calligraphy and painting, but now the third master has the heart to continue to take the imperial examination, and he is talking about the current literature and scriptures.

Although Shen Rui admired Zhu Yunming very much in his heart, because he had to go to school, he went out early and returned late, and he met twice, but he was in a hurry. In addition, after entering Beijing, historical celebrities have met one after another, champions have met a few, future emperors have also met, and even the future eunuchs who are in power to the government and the opposition have also met, and they are no longer as rare and strange as last year.

It wasn't until the fifteenth day of the lunar month that the academy officially had its annual vacation, and Shen Rui was free.

Zhu Yunming went to Songjiang last winter and knew Shen Rui.

From the Xu family, the two are now cousins, and Zhu Yunming is also a little closer to Shen Rui. And because Shen Rui was under Wang Shouren's door and wanted to take the imperial examination, Zhu Yunming was also quite concerned about Shen Rui's homework.

After knowing that Shen Rui had read through the four books, Shi Wen had also done it for two years, and now he was studying at the most famous Chūn Mountain in the capital, and he was going to take the children's exam next year, Zhu Yunming sighed: "The future is terrifying"

Shen Rui is most concerned about the news of the "Four Great Talents", Tang Yin's unlucky child, except for the official status, he is already a citizen and is not qualified to take the imperial examination again, so what about the rest of Wen Zhengming and Xu Zhenqing? Wen Zhengming remembered that the imperial examination was not smooth, and he didn't even get through the promotion in his life, Xu Zhenqing seemed to have passed the Jinshi, but he didn't know when.

"The Four Talents of Wuzhong" has long been famous in Nanzhili, and they are often talked about in one place.

Shen Rui asked about Wen and Xu, and it was not reckless.

After Zhu Yunming said it, Shen Rui knew that Xu Zhenqing participated in this year's township test, but he didn't get the first place, so he didn't enter Beijing. As for Wen Zhengming, because he didn't pass the annual test, the township test did not end.

Wen Zhengming is ten years younger than Zhu Yunming, and now he is standing in his old age; Xu Zhenqing is nineteen years younger than Zhu Yunming, and now he is only in his early twenties. The two of them already have a reputation for showing off their talents, even if they are not lifted, in the eyes of the world, they are still young.

However, Zhu Yunming is already over the age and is not confused, and he has entered Beijing for the fourth time to take the Ministry of Etiquette exam, so he is under a lot of pressure.

The lights in the guest house are not extinguished until after the third watch, and they are lit again before dawn.

After hearing this, Xu sighed secretly, and did not persuade him, but just asked someone to buy a few baskets of white ash, just like Jiuruju's study, and added a few candlesticks to the guest house. He also ordered people to take ginseng, and every night here in the guest house, ginseng tea was delivered.

Shen Yue's original schedule was ordinary, but later he was taken by Zhu Yunming, and he was not willing to be diligent, and he began to keep his hands on it.

After Shen Rui represented the second room and gave a circle of New Year's gifts, the yamen also began to "seal".

On the twenty-first day of the lunar month, the wind is harmonious and beautiful, and the New Year's flavor of the capital is getting heavier and heavier.

Shen Rui got up early, and together with Sister Yu and Zhu Yunming, he went to Bachelor's house with the Xu family.

The rì son of the He family's official marriage is Ming rì, and today rì wants to give a dowry.

The wedding in the capital is luxurious, and the engagement of Shen Rui in the past was very lively, not to mention a serious marriage. The eunuchs often have to set up five rì joy sheds and seven rì joy sheds.

It's just that the marriage of the He and Wang families is not the same as that of ordinary men and women.

Wang Shouren is "retiring from illness", and he is remarrying, and his family affairs are in a hurry, so it is not too lively.

Here in the He family, Xu Yingzhi lost her fiancé, even if it is not a remarriage this time, it is not easy to make a big splash

In this way, the two families did not invite outsiders, but invited relatives and friends.

The He family was originally a poor family, and there were few relatives in the clan, so it seemed to be more and more deserted.

Although the Xu family prepared a rich makeup gift for his niece early, he still felt uncomfortable when he saw the deserted appearance of the courtyard.

Shen Rui followed He Quanzhi, He Taizhi, and Zhu Yunming to send makeup to the Wang family.

Here in the Wang family, because of the large number of Wang Hua's protégés, it is more lively than the He family. It's just that although there are many guests, the main owner has not shown up for a long time.

Wang Shouren was "sick and retired" before, but now even if he is happy to remarry, he still has a sallow face when he comes out to meet guests, and he hurriedly shows his face in front of people, so he rests because he is not in good health.

Shen Rui came to Wang's house yesterday and knew Wang Shouren's real physical condition, but he didn't have anything to worry about. He Taizhi's face was calm, and his eyes were red; Zhu Yunming followed He Quanzhi and talked to the disciples of the Wang Sect, but it was difficult to hide his worries in his eyes.

He really didn't understand why his aunt and uncle, who loved his daughter, would find such a family affair for his daughter, the family was noble, and the groom was also a talented man, but this body was really worrying.

It's just that this has to be a big gift, and as a relative, he feels bad, and he doesn't want to say anything to block the He family.

He Taizhi couldn't hold back his words, and when Wang Shouren went down, he pulled Shen Rui aside, gritted his teeth and said: "Cousin Rui, you have to tell me the truth, Wang Shouren is not seriously ill......

Shen Rui saw him so sad for his sister, and he was also embarrassed in his heart.

Wang Shouren's situation was hidden from outsiders, but he did not hide it from Mr. He and his wife. Otherwise, even if Mr. and Mrs. He hope that their daughter will marry early and get out of the haze of Shen Luo's death, they will not be willing to really let their daughter be a "Chongxi bride".

The reason why he didn't tell He Taizhi was probably because he couldn't hide his joy and anger when he was young.

Shen Rui's hesitation, He Taizhi's heart sank, he stomped his feet and said, "What does my father think, why does he set such a family affair for his sister...... In case of...... In case of...... How can my sister live...... No, I can't let my sister marry someone like that......"

Shen Luo fell from a horse and died, Shen Er's wife was too troublesome of the He family, and the rumors of He Yingzhi's "hard life" had already spread. Now that she is married to a "sick seedling", if she really has a case, even if she confirms the previous gossip, she can be forced to death by spitting stars.

Shen Rui saw him frying, hurriedly grabbed him, and said: "Cousin, don't worry, my master also invited the imperial doctor to come over yesterday, and the teacher is in good health, and it will be fine to return to his hometown to recuperate for two years after the year......"

He Taizhi didn't believe this statement, in his opinion, he also invited a doctor yesterday, that is, he did not recover from the disease.

"No, I'm going to find Wang Shilang, this family business can't end like this......" He Taizhi was very excited, his body shook, and he wanted to break free of Shen Rui's hand.

The two were talking in the corner, but as soon as He Taizhi's voice was high, it attracted the attention of others.

"Silence" Shen Rui grabbed his arm vigorously, frowned and whispered: "Is it only you who hurt your cousin, and your aunt and uncle don't hurt ......?"

He Taizhi raised his head with indignation on his face: "That's Cousin Rui's teacher, which side is Cousin Rui?" In the eyes of Cousin Rui, the teacher is close, and we, the cousins and cousins, are the ...... all the way."

Although he is eleven years old, his sister and brother are deeply affectionate, and tears come out of his grievances and anger.

This bear child.

Shen Rui was angry, crying and laughing, thinking of He Taizhi's closeness to him over the past year, he couldn't bear to hide it from him, and said in a low voice: "The teacher has recovered from his illness...... It's just that I offended people in the officialdom before, and now I'm avoiding trouble, and I don't dare to let people know, so I showed my face and went back to my room to rest......"

When He Taizhi heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

He glared at Shen Rui for a while, Fang woke up and whispered, "Really? ”

Shen Rui glanced at him: "What are you lying to?" ”

"No wonder my father and my mother agreed to Chongxi, and the eldest brother didn't object" He Tai later realized it: "Okay, you only hid it from me, can I just not believe it......"

The more he talked, the more angry he became, looking at He Quanzhi who was sitting not far away, eager to come forward to theorize, in the end he knew the measure, and knew that he couldn't make trouble, so he looked at Shen Rui angrily and complained: "I have always been good with Cousin Rui, but Cousin Rui didn't inform me in advance, which made me worry about it ......for a long time."

Shen Rui said in a low voice: "It was my mistake to change the wine to my cousin and ask for guilt." ”

He Taizhi saw that he honestly admitted his mistakes, but it was not good to be angry again, and he was a little embarrassed: "The happy events of other people's families are lively, but my sister's family affairs are like this, and I have suffered these grievances......"

Shen Rui whispered comforting: "Sai Weng lost his horse, how do you know if it is a blessing?" I don't dare to say anything else, the teacher is not only good at learning, but also has a good character......" Speaking of this, I couldn't help but whisper in my ear: "The teacher's virtue is worthy of being a gentleman, and he is not the only one......"

If you say this to others, it is very tempting. After all, in this world today, in addition to the princess descending, there are a few women who can not share their husbands with others.

He Taizhi is only eleven years old, even if he reads well, he is still ignorant about the affairs of men and women.

In addition, Master He was a "high marriage" back then, and the relationship between the husband and wife was good, and he did not have a concubine; Although Master Shen and the Xu family had concubines in their early years because they wanted a son, they also broke up their concubines because they didn't succeed in their heirs.

As for the relatives of the He family in the countryside, there are concubines, but they are like maids on the stove, they spend money to buy people to call, and they can sell them with their feet.

Therefore, He Taizhi did not have an intuitive understanding of the battle in the inner house, and only said: "What is there to say about this? Won't it be sick? ”

Shen Rui rolled his eyes and said, "Anyway, it's a rare character, you go back and talk to your aunt and cousin, see if they like it or not......"

For generations who can justifiably place concubines in the room, cāo guards like Wang Shouren can be called "saints". Not to mention that Wang Shouren's original partner has been dead for three and a half years, and he is in the prime of life.

He Taizhi felt that he was underestimated, but he didn't quarrel with Shen Rui about this matter anymore.

But when he got home, He Taizhi quietly told Xiao Xu.

"If that's the case, then it's your sister's blessing......" Xiao Xu was really happy when he heard the news.

However, when He Taizhi went to tell He Yingzhi again, He Yingzhi did not react.

He Taizhi saw his sister smiling in front of him, and he was stunned in the back, and he only felt sour in his heart.

Although he knew that his sister might not be able to forget Shen Luo, who was a childhood sweetheart, He Taizhi also knew that "the deceased is gone", so he said Shen Ruiping's words of praise for Wang Shouren over and over again......
