Beijing, Chunshan Academy.

Not long after Shen Rui mentioned Yang Tinghe to the eldest master, he didn't know if the eldest lord had a ride with Yang Tinghe, and here he met the future champion, Yang Tinghe's son Yang Shen.

This Yang Shen, in addition to leaving a name in history as the champion, there are also many popular poems that have been handed down to future generations, the most famous is "Linjiang Immortal" at the beginning of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.

On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, and many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking.

However, Yang Shen at this time was just a thirteen-year-old boy.

Although he is a native of Sichuan, he was born in the capital, and he was famous before, and he entered Chunshan Academy at the age of nine, and he and Mao Chi were classmates for two years, and they became good friends with each other. Hongji lost his mother in the twelfth year, and he was hit hard. Yang Chun loved this grandson, so he returned to his hometown and wanted to return to his hometown to teach his grandson. Unexpectedly, on the way back to his hometown, Yang Chun's wife fell ill and died.

Yang Shen returned to his hometown with his uncle Yang Tingyi to guard the system, and now he returned to the capital after the system.

It's just that when he came back this time, although Yang Shen returned to Chunshan Academy, he was not in Class E. He passed the hospital examination in his hometown in Sichuan last year, and now he is a talent. Just because he was young, the elders felt that he should continue to study, so he was not called out in this year's township exam, but let him go to Beijing with his uncle Yang Tingyi.

Yang Tingyi was a second-class jinshi in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, and Shen Ying was the same year, and he caught up with his mother's funeral after winning the list, so he did not participate in the regular examination, nor did he choose officials.

Yang Shen is not tall, but his appearance is handsome, full of books, and he is an elegant young man.

Hearing that he was back in the academy, Mao Chi took Shen Rui to Class B.

Yang Shen greeted him.

One is an old friend and the other is a new friend, Mao Chi first introduced the two.

For Shen Rui, this was a real surprise.

He only thought about letting the eldest master make friends with Yang Tinghe, but he didn't think of Yang Shen here at all.

After inquiring about the situation of Yang Tinghe's family, he thought that Yang Shen would stay in Sichuan, fulfill his filial piety on behalf of his father, and wait for the township test to return to Beijing, but he didn't expect to come back now.

Yang Shen listened to Shen Rui's identity, but it was quite kind, but it could be seen in his speech that he did not value the "son of Shangshu", but the "champion brother", and in his tone, he highly respected Shen Du on the ancestor of the Shen family and Shen Li now.

Mao Chi said: "Seeing the end of the month, when the holiday comes, I will work with Second Brother Shen to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

Yang Shen is an age that also values his friends very much, he was lively in his early years, and he fell silent in the past two years due to the blow of losing his mother.

Hearing Mao Chi say this, he nodded in response.

However, he was a little strange about Shen Rui's late enrollment, and asked Mao Chi in private. Mao Chi told him about Shen Rui's identity as an heir, and mentioned Shen Rui's loss of his mother, and Yang Shen couldn't help but feel sorry for each other.

On the first day of November, Chunshan Academy is on holiday.

Mao Chi and Shen Rui made the east, and booked a table in a restaurant on Chengxian Street to wash the dust for Yang Shen. In addition to Yang Shen, the host and guest, Shen Quan and He Taizhi were also pulled as companions.

Yang Tinghe and He Bachelor are in the same year, both are Jinshi in the fourteenth year of Chenghua, and the two families also have contacts, so He Taizhi and Yang Shen also know each other.

As for Shen Quan here, Shen Ying and Yang Tingyi are in the same year, and they can also talk about their origins.

These days, Shen Rui has been familiar with some of the officialdom customs of the Ming Dynasty, that is, if he wants to climb the relationship, "fellow villagers", "same year", and "fellow classmates" This is to form a big net. At the same time, in addition to in-laws, as long as they have the same surname, regardless of the world, they can also "connect with the family".

The Songjiang Shen family is from the Wuxing Shen family, and the Wuxing Shen family is now also a person, and the second room of the Shen family is connected to the sect. But it's not about who is climbing whom, but about the ancestors, and it can indeed be discussed.

Shen Quan saw Yang Shen for the first time, but he didn't feel unfamiliar.

After finishing the meal, he looked at Yang Shen, then at Shen Rui and said, "Brother Yang and Brother Rui are like twin brothers...... Although they don't look alike, they talk like ......"

Mao Chi looked at the two of them, and suddenly realized: "No wonder I felt close to Second Brother Shen when I first saw him, this is indeed the reason......

He Taizhi snorted lightly: "It's true that they are all adults"

Shen Rui just smiled lightly, he was the soul in the shell, an adult, a "pseudo" teenager and an old man; Yang Shen is not, he is indeed more important than a teenager.

Yang Shen glanced at Shen Rui, who was smiling lightly and reserved, but he was concerned.

He was also like Mao Chi, Shen Quan and others, living happily and freely, but after losing his mother, half of the sky was over.

Now in that family, there is a father, a stepmother, a concubine, and younger brothers, if he doesn't grow up, how can he protect himself and his sister.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Shen Rui and then at He Taizhi.

The Yang family is different from others, his parents are set baby relatives, and he is also married at the age of one. Although his sister is only nine years old, before he entered Beijing, he had already discussed his sister's family affairs with his grandfather. Whether to marry his sister to the capital or marry back to Sichuan, both grandparents and grandchildren can't make up their minds.

If you marry in Beijing, the father and son of the Yang family will always have a time to return to their hometown; If you marry back to Sichuan, if your father and brother have been Beijing officials, they will be too far away.

Everyone ate and drank, and they were of the same age, and they also got together when they caught up with the big lectures in the academy, and they became more and more familiar with each other.

Shen Rui is a good friend, Yang Shen is a young talent, well-read, and it is rare to meet a pair of temperaments, but the relationship between the two has the meaning of "coming from behind", which exceeds the friendship between Yang Shen and Mao Chi.

Although Mao Chi complained to Shen Rui behind his back, he was not a person with a small belly and chicken intestines, so he didn't care about these. It's just that he is studying more and more diligently, and Shen Rui's diligence in reading is in his eyes, so it is conceivable that when he waits for the children's examination next year, Shen Rui will definitely take the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination.

Yang Shen is talented, and Shen Rui is also good, if he falls behind too much, he will only be left behind by his friends.

Shen Rui and Yang Shen intersected here, and the eldest lord over there was already paying attention to Yang Ting and his people without moving.

As Li Dongyang accepted Yang Shen as a student, the eldest master took the idea of asking Master He to be the matchmaker, planning to hire Yang Ting and his eldest daughter Yang Tian as his wife for Shen Rui.

Prior to this, Xu had already seen Yang Tian when he went out to socialize.

There are beauties in Shudi, although Yang Tian is only nine years old, she is already a little beauty, no less than the Jiangnan lady

Not to mention that the Xu family is entrusted by the eldest master, and he pays a lot of attention to the daughters of the Yang family; is Xiao Xu, and he also likes Yang Tian. It's just that Yang Tian has lost his biological mother and is afraid that he will lack teaching, He Taizhi is young, so he didn't think about family affairs.

Hearing that her sister chose Yang Tian for Shen Rui, Xiao Xu's heart was also a little pantothenic.

The reason why the eldest master made a decision so quickly was because of Li Dongyang, in addition to Shen Rui's previous words.

Among the three elders, Li Dongyang acted the most tactful, and even he didn't move to woo Yang Tinghe, which shows that Shen Rui's gaze is right. In addition, Li Dongyang accepted Yang Shen as a student, and at this time, marrying the Yang family, in the eyes of outsiders, can be regarded as having the meaning of being close to the Li faction, diluting the traces of the Xie faction, killing two birds with one stone.

Yang Tinghe was quite surprised and puzzled by the Shen family's proposal.

The official eunuchs in Beijing are not popular with baby kisses, children are difficult to raise, and the etiquette is strict, if the other party has a mistake, wouldn't it delay the children?

And those who have a difficult heir like the Shen family and choose an heir to inherit the incense will most likely marry early. Shen Rui and Yang Tian were four years apart, and by the time Yang Tian and Lu arrived, Shen Rui was already nineteen years old.

Bachelor He said: "The eldest brother is most concerned about Brother Rui's studies, although Brother Rui worships in the name of Bo'an, but Bo'an is not in good health, and he will return to his hometown in the spring next year...... Brother Rui is not good at worshipping others, and the eldest brother can only find a father-in-law for him to teach, in the end, it is a loving father's heart......"

Yang Tinghe had never seen Shen Rui, but he knew that after the Shen family was a bachelor of Shen Du, Lord Shen and the late grandfather were both Jiuqing, and when it came to the family, they were a few heads higher than the Yang family, which could make people propose to the Yang family, and they were a little flattered.

You must know that Yang Tinghe's ancestors were sons-in-law, his great-grandfather and great-grandfather were white, and his grandfather was a tribute, so the family became a scholar. He himself first became a jinshi with his father, and then his father became a jinshi, and his father and son became a jinshi, and then he was promoted to a family of eunuchs.

But even if he was flattered, Yang Tinghe did not agree.

No matter how old man Shen has a good reputation, Shen Rui is the heir, not the biological son of the two. Regarding Shen Rui's character, Yang Tinghe also wants to "see is believing".

The two families are related, and this "looking at each other" is also the proper meaning.

Bachelor He sent a message back to the Shen family, and the eldest master and the Xu family naturally had no objections.

When Shen Rui came back from school and was called to the main room, he got the news.

Shen Rui was not surprised by the marriage between the Shen and Yang families, and the most powerful means of alliance in the officialdom was marriage. It's just that I didn't expect that I would be Sister Yu's cousin to Yang Shen.

After all, he is the heir, and most of them will marry early, and the age difference between his age and the Yang family's concubine is big

I heard that I was going to go to the Yang family for a banquet with my eldest wife in two days, and Shen Rui's heart twitched.

He wanted to borrow the light of the Yang family so that the Shen family would not capsize during the Zhengde period, but he did not plan to completely get on the Yang family's ship.

Although Yang Tinghe was the first assistant of the two dynasties, the end was not good, and the evening was bleak.

But in this family business, since someone has already passed the word, when it is time to "see each other", it is not Shen Rui's turn to say anything......

Nanjing, Qiao's house.

Shen Zhou and his entourage arrived in Nanjing, because Master Qiao San had been in office in Nanjing for many years, and his sister and brother had not seen each other for several years, so they had to stay for a few days to reunite their flesh and blood.

Master Qiao San was worried about his eldest daughter's affairs, so he mentioned Shen Yan's matter to his brother-in-law.

Here in Shen Zhou, because the eldest master of the sect once said good things, he has no ill feelings towards Shen Yan: "Decades have passed since the affairs of the ancestors, but no one will care about it." However, because my grandfather had a legacy in his early years, he was not allowed to return to the sect, and we are not disobedient as juniors...... If the brother-in-law doesn't pick his family background and only looks at his character, he will definitely make a ......"

Master Qiao San's own grade is not high, and the eldest daughter is a concubine, whether it is in Jiangnan or in the capital, it is not easy for a concubine to find someone. hesitated for a moment, whether to value Shen Yan's character, and there was no objection in Shen Zhou's words, he still decided to settle on this family business.

Mrs. Qiao San looked at her nephew Shen Jue, and felt that he had a hearty temperament and good looks, which was better than Shen Luo back then, so she discussed with Master Qiao San in private, wanting to kiss and kiss.

Master Qiao San said: "Don't humiliate yourself, when the old lady spoke, she was rejected by her sister, why bother with it......

Mrs. Qiao San thought about her sister-in-law's temperament, sighed, and died of this heart......
