Shen Rui naturally had no objection, so he went to the garden with Shen Jue.

Although the garden is on the east road, there is a corner gate connected to the middle road, but there is no need to go through the east courtyard where the third master is located.

The ice rink is on the north side of the garden, a total of one and a half zhang wide, seven or eight zhang long open space, after several days of non-stop splashing, forming an inch and a half high ice layer.

The top is also asked to be shoveled and polished, and it looks as smooth as a mirror.

On both sides of the ice rink, there are circles poured out of lime water, ink, and cinnabar water, the outer ring is white, the middle circle is black, and the inner circle is red.

On the inside of the rink, seven or eight feet away from the two ends, there is a horizontal line on each side.

Sixteen stone-handled curling stones rested aside, along with a few new bristle brushes.

Compared with the curling competition in later generations, this place is short, and the stone of curling is not standard, but it can be done in a few days of preparation, and it already looks like the same thing.

Shen Jue was a little excited, took a curling stone, squatted down on the sideline, and slid towards the round base.

Although the sideline is only seven or eight feet away from the first circle, it is far away from the other time, and when throwing, it is thrown to the far side of the circle, which is four or five feet away, and the curling stone has to be slid through and it takes enough strength to press the edge of the circle.

"Ha Lu Ha" Shen Jue stood up and smiled proudly.

was brought by his good mood, and Shen Rui also had a smile on his face.

Shen Jue said: "Second brother, what should we take out to make a lottery?" ”

"How about a piece of inkstone?" Shen Rui thought for a moment and said.

On such occasions, all the people who came were relatives and friends, and Shen Jue felt that gold and silver and other vulgar things could not be used, and cultural toys and the like were suitable for everyone. Even if Gao Wenhu, who learned martial arts, won it, either for his own use or as a gift, he was decent.

Shen Jue rolled his eyes and said, "Second brother, don't let it go for a day, isn't it a headache to see pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?" ”

Shen Jue asked rhetorically, "What is Brother Jue preparing?" ”

Shen Jue's face was a little red, he laughed loudly, took out something from his purse, and stuffed it into Shen Rui's hand: "This is it"

Shen Rui looked down and was speechless for a while.

The two-and-a-half-inch-long white jade beauty, carved is a Tang lady, with open breasts and exposed breasts, plump and lovely.

Shen Jue's eyes flickered, and he said, "Second brother has never seen such a good object, right?" When I was still in Nanchang Mansion, I gave it to the government office, and I left it when I looked exquisite. ”

This white jade beauty brought the pulp, looked oily, and looked like it was often played with.

Shen Rui glanced at Shen Jue and said, "Since you like it, it's good to keep it, wouldn't it be a pity to make a color head output?" ”

Shen Jue straightened his chest and said: "Anyway, it's either a relative or a friend, and if you lose, you won't lose to others...... I've been playing for a few days, and I'm a little tired of it......"

That being said, looking at the sticky look in his eyes, I was still reluctant.

If you take your favorite things out to make lottery heads, you can be more focused on winning and losing.

Compared with this delicate and lovely white jade beauty, Shen Rui's previous thought of using Yan as a color head was inevitably boring

The guests invited today, except for Shen Quan, who is a little older, are all half-grown teenagers. It is also human nature for a person like Shen Jue to be half-hidden and half-concealed about the relationship between men and women.

Shen Rui pondered his private collection, and there was nothing like the white jade beauty, so he decided not to "follow suit".

"I have a purple and gold lion handle there, and it can also be used as a pendant, so I can use that as a color head......" Shen Rui said.

Shen Jue said: "That's the second brother's favorite thing, the second brother seems to have a bottom in his heart......"

While the two brothers were talking, a little maid came over.

He Taizhi came, and went to the main room to ask for peace for the Xu family first.

So the two brothers went out of the garden and went to the main house.

He Taizhi also just arrived in the house, he not only wore a thick cotton coat as indicated on the invitation, but also wore a thick straight hair coat, looking like a ball. The color of the clothes is also red, and standing with Shen Rui, it looks like two brothers.

Shen Jue saw it, and saw that he was plain all over, and there was no color at all, so he said to Xu: "Uncle, I will make clothes of the same color as my second brother in spring next year......

Xu nodded and said, "When the time comes, make a few more sets of bright colors, and you two brothers will wear them together......"

Shen Jue smiled and nodded, raising his eyebrows proudly at He Taizhi.

He Taizhi has been in the county school for half a year, and the classmates he contacts are much older, and he is a little less jumpy, looking at Shen Jue with a smile, and he doesn't quarrel with him.

Shen Jue pursed his lips and said, "Cousin He, don't laugh like this...... It looks like the second brother, and the child pretends to be an adult......"

He Taizhi said: "Third cousin, I'm not a child anymore, I already have a word, the third brother can call my word Zhong'an directly in the future......"

Shen Jue was depressed.

The two people in front of them have fame, and they have officially taken the word, but they don't have it. Knowing this, shouldn't I have gone out of Beijing with the second master last year?

If you give it a try this year, you will study with your second brother, and you will have to be lucky enough to pass the hospital exam.

A few juniors accompanied the Xu family to talk and laugh, and a maid came to report that the eldest young master of the Yang family had arrived.

Shen Jue and He Taizhi both looked at Shen Rui and smiled, Shen Rui got up and said, "Mother will talk to the two younger brothers first, and I will go to greet them." ”

Xu said: "Let the two of them go with you, you don't have to come here one by one, and they are also restrained in front of the elders." When the guests are almost there, just come over and take a picture. ”

Shen Rui thought about it, so he beckoned Shen Jue and He Taiyi to come out together.

Yang Shen had already arrived, and was welcomed to the living room to serve tea.

The Shen and Yang families have already decided to marry, Yang Shen is the future uncle, and no one in the Shen family should be neglected.

Before meeting Yang Shen, because Shen Rui was a "champion talent", Shen Jue's impression of Yang Shen was not good. Twelve-year-old hospital test is amazing? Must be a showy stinky boy.

However, when he saw Yang Shen and looked at his white and pure appearance, two fingers shorter than himself, the rejection in Shen Jue's heart was reduced by a few points. looks quite honest, it is estimated that there is really ink in the stomach, or it would not have been respected by my brother.

The Shen and Yang families are both in-laws, and Yang Shen also knows clearly about the situation of the Shen family's rooms.

For Shen Jue, he knew his name before he saw him.

He is the heir of Shangshufu with Shen Rui, and he is from Songjiang's own family with Shen Rui, the clan brothers have become cousins, and the two brothers have a deep relationship. Last year, he went south with Shen Er and his wife, and returned to Beijing for the funeral at the beginning of this month with his mother.

Shen Rui himself is not a fun-loving person, but this time he invited someone to come to the house to play with him, mostly to accompany this cousin.

is similar to what was expected, Shen Jue is really lively and active, and he is not like Shen Rui at all. But perhaps it is precisely because of a brother like Shen Rui that there is a younger brother like Shen Jue who has a good nature.

Otherwise, as an heir, the identity is embarrassing, and most people are trembling.

It is really rare to be as calm and comfortable as Shen Rui and Shen Jue, and to be the heirs of others.

After a while, Shen Quan, Yang Zhongyan and others also arrived.

Although Xu Wumian was born and came to the Shen family for the first time, in fact, except for Yang Shen and He Taizhi, the three Shen brothers had all seen him and were impressed.

However, Shen Rui and Shen Jue did not show abnormalities because of their previous preparations; Shen was already able to remain silent, but he didn't let Xu Wu notice that something was wrong.

Everyone is of the same age, and they will get acquainted with each other after chatting a few words.

Shen Jue saw that people were almost here, so he couldn't wait to give a general introduction to the new game curling, and mentioned the matter of the lottery head.

In Shen Rui's previous post, Bing Xi was mentioned, and everyone was asked to wear thick cotton clothes. Although the matter of the competition was not directly said on the post, everyone is the son of an official eunuch, and it is not difficult to come up with a lottery head.

Yang Zhongyan looked at the number of people and said, "It's out, how is this grouped?" ”

He felt a little apprehensive in his heart, if he hadn't brought one more person over, it would have been exactly six people, and it could be divided into two groups.

Shen Rui said: "There are still two friends who haven't arrived. The third brother also knows Cousin He, that is, Gao Wenhu and Brother Shou. There will be nine people at that time, and I will be the referee......"

Shen Quan smiled: "And Wenhu, then I have to pull him and his big guy, and I can't lose this pot throwing game......"

He Taizhi and Shen Quan had both participated in the last gathering of the Shen family, so they naturally remembered the group of Gao Wenhu and Brother Shou

He Taizhi covered his mouth and smiled: "This time, Brother Shou doesn't dare to wear a hundred clothes anymore...... On that occasion he came out as a guest in a hundred clothes, and when he returned, he was detained for two months, and he was not released until June......"

Shen Quan said: "If the curling stone really weighs twenty pounds, it will be difficult for Brother Shou and Zhong'an to play it......"

Everyone present, except for Shen Quan, Shen Rui, and He Taizhi, no one else has seen Gao Wenhu and Brother Shou.

Shen Jue only knew that these two people were new friends that Shen Rui had made in the first half of the year, and they had also been invited to his home.

Yang Shen listened to "Brother Shou" and "Brother Shou", felt familiar, and had an idea, but suppressed it again. It is not uncommon for the East Palace to occasionally go to the official house of the East Palace, if you often mix outside the palace, it is too nonsense to call friends. Listening to what He Taizhi meant, that Brother Shou has a good relationship with them, and if they don't meet once or twice, then they should be someone else.

Yang Zhongyan was not interested in the new friends who did not come, and among relatives and friends, everyone knew about Shen Rui, the head of the juvenile case. In the first half of this year, it was the time for him to take the boy's exam, and the new friend he made must be a scholar.

Relatives are still gone, sharing weal and woe, and always getting along well; The people next to you just meet in the water, so you don't have to stay too much

As for Xu Wu, his heart was full of curiosity about this belated guest.

You must know that these people in front of Lu Dao are not ordinary people. Except for Shen Quan, the others are all children of Beijing officials, and they are all from noble families.

Among them, Shen Rui, Yang Shen, and He Taizhi have become famous at a young age, and they are already students, and they are the sons of the country.

Now whether it is Yang Shen, the son of a scholar's family, or Yang Zhongyan, the young master of the Dali Temple, has arrived, what is the tablet of the belated guest?

It's not so much that Gao Wenhu and Brother Shou are late, but in fact, others arrived early.

The time written on Shen Rui's post was "Sizheng (ten o'clock in the morning)", Gao Wenhu and Brother Shou pressed the order, and others came early.

The porter came to say goodbye, and Shen Rui asked everyone to sit down for a while, and greeted him by himself.

When he brought Gao Wenhu and Brother Shou into the living room, Shen Jue, Yang Zhongyan, and Xu Wu's eyes all fell on the tall and burly Gao Wenhu, but Yang Shen suddenly fell on the little boy in Chinese clothes next to him......
