The world's most important clan relatives, even if the second room in the capital is thousands of miles away from Songjiang, but since the relatives have arrived, Shen Zhou and the third master have to ask a few more questions. After learning that these two were now living in the fifth room, and Shen Jin had another place to live, Shen Zhou did not need to keep them here to settle here.

These clansmen are all coming to the door for the first time, and today is "Sanqi", there is a sacrificial banquet here, so Shen Zhou and they have lunch. After lunch, Shen Quan took the two elders of the water generation back first, Shen Jin did not follow him to leave, and followed Shen Rui to Jiuruju.

"Thank you for the matter of the house, second brother Rui......" Shen Jin's face was a little grateful.

Shen Rui waved his hand and said, "But it's cheap, just in time for a house to pawn there...... Next year, it will be better to enter and exit the tribute courtyard than in the next place......"

Shen Jin still said: "For Second Brother Rui, it may be a gesture, but it is a great help for me. If I can't settle my aunt, I'm hanging on my heart. ”

Shen Rui nodded and said, "It's always a good thing to reunite flesh and blood...... It's just that Brother Jin shouldn't think too much, and for now, it's important to concentrate on preparing for the exam. ”

Shen Jin nodded and said, "Second Brother Rui, don't worry, I will prepare for the exam well...... No matter what the results are, I have been waiting for this day for a long time......" Speaking of this, he took out a heavy brocade bag from his cuff and put it on the coffee table: "This is the money I borrowed from the second brother Rui last year, and I should have exchanged the silver and sent it over, but when I first arrived in the capital, I was not familiar with the money village, so I took the gold directly." ”

When Shen Rui heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "Am I in a hurry to use it, why is Brother Jin in a hurry to send it?" The capital costs a lot, so you still keep it for first. ”

Shen Jin said: "Don't worry, I left another money." This time, I brought some money with me...... In the spring of next year, no matter whether it is on or off the list, the follow-up expenses will not be less, if I don't bring the money over, I will continue to borrow from the second brother Rui? ”

Hearing what he said, Shen Rui didn't ramble anymore, and said: "There are still three months before the Spring Festival, does Brother Jin plan to study behind closed doors, or visit a few great Confucians, or have other contacts?" ”

If you usually raise people into Beijing, if you want to communicate with people, no one will take care of you, but Shen Jin is different. Nanzhili Xie Yuan is almost a quasi-jinshi, plus he is a member of the Shen family and a brother of the Shen Li clan, and there are many people who are willing to help Shen Jin comment on articles by selling face.

Shen Jin thought for a while and said, "If it's cheap, I want to visit the brothers of the second six clans, as well as a few fellow villagers of the same year who I met when I was preparing for the exam in Nanjing, and the eldest master of the He family will also have to go there, and I can'......t take care of the others for the time being."

Although Shen Rui didn't even end the township test this year, the champions like Shen Li, Wang Hua, and Mao Cheng who have instructed him in the past two years are all great Confucians like Yang Tinghe and Wang Shouren, and his eyes are unusual scholars. is about the preparation for the spring season, and several champions and Confucians also have their own opinions. Among them, there are some clever tricks.

Shen Rui glanced at Shen Jin twice, and his mind raced.

If you want to talk about brotherhood or something, then Shen Rui doesn't believe it, but he wants to help Shen Jin at this time.

As his biological brother, Shen Jin's relationship with Shen Rui cannot be broken, at least in the eyes of the world. Shen Jin High School can support the four-room portal, which is exactly what Shen Rui hopes; If Shen Jin goes one step further and makes a name for himself in the Spring Festival, it will not be a bad thing for Shen Rui.

On the second side, the third master's body is there, even if he joins as an official, it is just an idle job, and Shen Zhou is unreliable, and it is always good to have more foreign aid.

Shen Rui wanted to understand this, so he nodded and said: "Brother Jin arranged just right, with Tang Yin's experience in the past, it is better to call friends and communicate with him, it is better to prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and wait for the spring to ......."

People are jealous, and the literati are light, and the jealousy is even greater.

Like Shen Rui, who is a scholar himself, but can calmly face the new science and technology solution with a good future, and more people will have envy and jealousy in their hearts no matter what.

The "fraud case" of the imperial examination in the twelfth year of Hongzhi was very absurd, but Tang Yin was expelled from the official status because of improper friends and too ostentatious and forbearant taboos.

Tang Yin was originally a great talent in the honorary Jiangnan, whether it was Xie Yuan in high school or imprisoned, it caused Nan Shilin to be shaken, and Shen Jin remembered it. He immediately became more vigilant, and his face was solemn, and he said: "Thank you Second Brother Rui for mentioning something, I will be cautious in my words and deeds......"

Although Shen Jin is five years older than Shen Rui on the surface, Shen Jin is not really a teenager, and it cannot be said that he has watched Shen Jin grow up, and he also knows that it has not been easy for him in the past few years. Not just in the past, think about the character of Mrs. Zhang and Shen Yuan, even if Shen Jin is in Chunfu High School, there are two elders like that, who knows when the moth will be born in the future.

"Second Brother Qi will also end next year, if Brother Jin is free, get along with Second Brother Qi more...... Second Brother Qi didn't come today because of something, when Brother Jin saw Second Brother Qi, he would spread the word on my behalf, let Second Brother Qi come over, and Brother Jin would also come ......" Shen Rui thought about it and swallowed what he was about to say. One sheep is also driven, two sheep are also released, the five rooms have helped him a lot in recent years, I didn't think of it before, but now I think of it, and there is no reason to leave the five rooms.

Although in terms of blood, the relationship between Shen Jin and Shen Rui is closer than that between the three brothers in the fifth room and Shen Rui; However, when it comes to feelings, Shen Jin is just a stranger who needs to be politely dealt with and is not very familiar; The three brothers in the fifth room regarded Shen Rui as siblings, and Shen Rui also treated them as real relatives.

Shen Rui wanted to speak and stopped, although Shen Jin was a little puzzled, he didn't ask much, nodded and said, "I went to Uncle Hong's house yesterday, and after settling down in the past two days, I have to go over and tell the elders...... I don't know if the matter of Second Brother Rui is in a hurry, if not, Second Brother Qi and I will come over at the time of 'May Seven', if we are in a hurry, we will come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow......"

Shen Rui thought about the time in his heart for a while, and said, "Hurry up or not late, if Second Brother Qi is cheap, Brother Jin, you can come over tomorrow......"

The next day, it was not only Shen Jin and Shen Qi who came, but Shen Quan also came over with a little curiosity.

What Shen Rui said was not lively.

There are things that are put into words, and there are things that can only be passed on by word of mouth. Some test-taking skills are okay, one force will drop ten, like Shen Jin, as long as the article is not off, it is just icing on the cake; For Shen Qi, who can go up and down, it is like a treasure.

The other is the news related to next year's spring festival, which is the resumes and articles of several Hanlin bachelors and officials of the Ministry of Rites who may be named as the main examiner, which is a multiple preparation. As for whether the main exam can come out of these people, no one can say.

"I didn't even end up in the township test, and it seems like a big deal to say this to the two brothers, but it's not a bad thing to be prepared, not to be careful...... it's not a bad thing," Shen Rui said.

These things are not passed on to Shen Rui by Shen Li or Wang Shouren, but some of the exam analyses that Shen Rui remembered when he studied with several champions and Jinshi in the past few years.

Not to mention Shen Jin, just to say that Wufang was so close to him, Shen Rui never thought about hiding his secrets. It's just that since August, things have been going on on his side, and he hasn't had the heart to think about the exam at all. Seeing Shen Jin yesterday, Shen Rui remembered this.

Shen Jin was very moved, only feeling that the paper in his hand was a few thin sheets, but it weighed more than a thousand catties. Shen Qi's eyes lit up, and he said with a little excitement: "Brother Rui, this is all written by you, how did you think of this?" ”

Shen Rui said: "It's not that I deliberately thought about this, but I saw Brother Jin coming over yesterday and thought of it...... The two brothers took the exam, I really couldn't help anything, I could only talk a few more nonsense, and I was mostly picking up people's teeth, and I asked the two brothers not to think I was too troublesome! ”

Shen Qi hurriedly said: "Who would dislike such a lot of things?" These experiences, even if others know, are well hidden, and they are eager to be used as family heirlooms, and only Rui Geer will share them with us so generously......"

Shen Ying is also a Jinshi, and Shen Qi has participated in the 12th year of Hongzhi, so it cannot be said that he has no experience, but compared with the one summarized by Shen Rui, what Shen Qi knew before was fur.

For next year's spring, Shen Qi didn't have much confidence, but after getting this thing, he felt that he could give it a try. As for whether it can be on the list, the rest depends on luck.

Although Shen Qi knew Shen Rui's temperament and knew that he was not stingy, he was also surprised now. After watching it for the past few years, he has long seen that Shen Rui is very unfamiliar with the relatives of the fourth room, even if he is more than polite to Shen Jin, but not close enough. There are antecedents and consequences, and Shen Rui can be justified in being cold over there. Unexpectedly, Shen Rui was still willing to help Shen Jin when he encountered something, and he was like this when he helped settle the Zheng family before, and now he is preparing for the exam.

When he returned home and mentioned this matter to Shen Ying, Shen Qi said: "Brother Rui usually looks gentle, but he is always cold, but he didn't expect to be warm." If you change to anyone else, it is difficult to treat Shen Jin like this, which is quite like an ancient gentleman. ”

Shen Ying frowned when she heard this, if Shen Rui was out of the field three or five times, and there was something insufficient in his schoolwork, it would be okay to prepare for these; Obviously, he has a good teacher, and he is young, so he thinks about these tricks, and it seems unsteady. But Shen Rui is the most steady, not impetuous and frivolous, but he prepares so early, his mind is not on his homework, but outside of his homework, this is only seeking fame.

"Whispering about what? This is just a small road, if the article is poorly done, even if you think more about these injuries, it is unintentional! Shen Ying saw that Shen Qi was still very happy, and scolded.

Shen Qi still smiled, but with bitterness on his face: "For a person with such qualifications as the eldest brother, these are just small paths; But for me, it's a path in a desperate situation......

The Shen family's funeral continued, until the funeral of "Qiqi".

Shen Cang died of illness on October 22, and by the time of the funeral, it had already passed Laba.

In the middle of winter, it is covered in silver, but there is a lot of traffic outside Shangshu Mansion, and it is a lively scene.

As the Jingtang who died of illness in office, Shen Cang is regarded as a beautiful funeral, and the old carriages of relatives and friends who sent the funeral that day were from people, and the streets in Renshoufang were full, but everyone also knew that relatives and friends were still there, and the favor on the official face had begun to be a little deserted. Even if the chief officials of each yamen sent more sacrificial banquets and sacrificial tents, there were not many people who sacrificed in person, and most of them sent their sons and nephews or stewards to the chief priest, which can be said to be indiscriminate. not

The Shen family was busy with the funeral, and they were grateful for Shen Cang, and they couldn't care about anything else.

A relatively snobbish officialdom colleague like He Dongsheng, who has had friction and disputes with the Shen family, must gloat in his heart. Thinking about Shen Rui for three more years, Shen Jin is one of the popular candidates for the champion in the capital, and He Dongsheng has to sigh a few times.

knew that Shen Cang's life was so short, and Shen Rui couldn't borrow his strength, so he shouldn't have promised his clan sister to Shen Yuan in the first place, but should have found someone among his nieces to give to Shen Jin.

Since the results of the Nanjing Township test arrived in Beijing, He Dongsheng sent a letter to his sister, mentioning the matter of "kissing and kissing", I don't know if it was a delay on the road, or Shen Yuan and Xiao He had other plans, and did not see a reply back......
