Volume 1: Who Have Seen Again, Chapter 262: The Gathering of Storms (4)
He Taizhi's cleverness, where can't you see it? Isn't it just that I want everyone to show their feet?
Mao Chi and Shen Rui looked at each other and smiled, nodded in unison and said, "Xu asks for help."
The rest of Shen Quan, of course, will not object.
He Taizhi couldn't see anything from the three of them, and looked at Brother Shou with some trepidation.
Brother Shou was interested, touched his chin, and looked at Shen Quan and the other three, but he really couldn't see anything. Brother Shou didn't care at all, anyway, Shen Quan didn't say that "foreign aid" would accompany him to be punished, so he then pointed at Mao Chi.
Mao Chi smiled and opened the bamboo sign in front of him, on which the word "Zhao Yun" was written.
He Taizhi's eyebrows immediately drooped, and he felt bitter in his mouth.
Mao Chi took the teapot with a smile and poured two cups of tea for He Taizhi.
Seeing that everyone was watching and there were new friends, He Taizhi gritted his teeth and ate both cups of tea.
Brother Shou thought that he had guessed the wrong person, He Taizhi would blame himself, and he was preparing how to fight back, but he didn't expect He Taizhi to admit punishment happily, without the slightest intention of blaming.
He himself was embarrassed, and sent the fruit plate next to him to He Taizhi, and said, "Eat a few cherries and press ......."
He Taizhi thanked him with a bitter face, grabbed half of the cherry and stuffed it into his mouth.
Looking at Shen Quan and Shen Rui, Brother Shou was a little embarrassed.
One of these two people is "Cao Cao" and the other is "Liu Bei", it's okay to say that if you catch "Cao Cao", you will have to eat four cups of bitter tea if you catch "Liu Bei" He Taizhi.
It's not that he feels sorry for He Taizhi, it's just that he doesn't want to look too stupid, and he can't even guess accurately.
He was hesitating when he saw Shen Quan wink at him.
Brother Shou thought that he had misunderstood, and looked at Shen Quan again, and saw that Shen Quan stretched out his finger as if he didn't care and stroked his forehead.
Brother Shou glanced at Shen Rui quickly, and saw that Shen Rui was talking to Mao Chi next to him sideways, but he didn't see Shen Quan's small movements, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bend, and he said, "Third Brother Shen is 'Cao Cao,"
"Oops, I'm caught" Shen Quan showed his bamboo card.
He secretly signaled, not to please Brother Shou, but to see He Taizhi eat four cups of Kuding tea in one go, and he couldn't bear to let the child continue to eat.
Everyone has known each other for a few years, He Taizhi is the youngest, even in the game, Shen Quan can't help but want to take care of one or two.
As for himself, although he is not like Shen Rui, he is young and vigorous, and it is also the time when his fire is strong, and it is nothing to eat two more cups of bitter tea.
He Taizhi was beside him, and he had already clapped his hands and said, "Brother Shou is really powerful, I caught it this time...... If I were to arrest him, I would probably have to arrest Cousin Rui......"
Shen Quan just ate tea as if he was eating tea normally, and ate two cups of Kuding tea.
He Taizhi looked at him so relaxed, thinking about his appearance of "wanting to die", he was a little unbalanced, and looked forward to the other few who had never tasted Kuding tea to try it.
After a few more games, none of the people in the audience were left behind, and they all ate a few cups of tea more or less.
It's just that the later it gets, the more tricks everyone has, some pretend to deceive people, and some are crooked after being asked for help. Between hip-hop and hip-hop, the big guys are not rusty at the beginning, and they are all familiar.
Brother Shou and He Taizhi, the two little ones, have also become good partners.
Both of them are precocious children, and they usually get along with older people, and they really don't have friends of the same age.
Both of them are stubborn at an age, and when it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, they are full of interest.
Everyone was playing, and it was time for lunch.
Shen Rui did not let the kitchen prepare the table, but ordered people to marinate all kinds of meats and make meat skewers and vegetable skewers.
I found two concave trough irons instead of the oven, and found the pine charcoal left over from last year from the storeroom, and prepared a garden barbecue.
However, considering that everyone was doing it for the first time and was not familiar with the hands-on ability, Shen Rui still ordered someone to prepare a few plates of cold side dishes and a few plates of dim sum pasta.
As for drinking? Considering everyone's age, there is no wine, only freshly pressed cherry juice.
When Changshou and Changfu brought a little girl to send everything to the garden, not only Brother Shou and He Taizhi were excited, but even Shen Quan, Mao Chi and others found it novel and interesting.
It seems that this is the first time everyone has seen such a way of eating.
Brother Shou and He Taizhi didn't need to be let by anyone, they were already rushing to do it themselves.
Shen Quan and Mao Chi were old, a little reserved, and watched from the sidelines.
Shen Rui was not worried about the craftsmanship of Brother Shou and He Taizhi, so he used another oven to demonstrate to the two.
As a result, Brother Shou and He Taizhi's hairy appearance made everyone tremble, not because they were afraid that the two of them would spoil things, but because they were afraid that they would burn themselves.
Seeing this, Shen Rui hurriedly asked Shen Quan to come forward to help Brother Shou, Mao Chi stepped forward to help He Taizhi, and greeted Gao Wenhu by himself.
Brother Shou and He Taizhi refused to be idle, surrounding everyone, sprinkling salt for a while, and pepper powder for a while, and they were also busy.
Speaking of which, for the barbecue, Shen Rui is also "talking on paper".
He didn't do a good job of this "demonstration", let alone other new scholars?
As a result, everyone was excited for a long time, but the baked things were still unevenly heated, and the sales were not good. Luckily, the ingredients are fresh, and the meat is marinated in Shiotsu, so it tastes good.
Everyone bakes it by themselves, and there is less pickiness, and I think it is delicious.
By the time the second plate is baked, it will look a little better.
When it came to the third set, Shen Rui called for picking, and ordered someone to divide one share, one to the upper room, and one to Sister Yu.
In the upper room, the fourth brother was already asleep.
The third wife was accompanying the Xu family for lunch, and when she saw Shen Rui bringing food, she couldn't help but smile and said, "The second brother is really filial......
Xu smiled: "Eating is still a trivial matter, the second brother really feels sorry for Sister Yu......"
The third wife was curious: "Jewelry for Sister Yu again?" ”
Xu shook his head with a smile and said, "The little brother of the Mao family who came with Brother Quan in the morning, how do you look at your younger brothers and sisters?" ”
The third lady said: "I am not tall, but looking at the conversation, I am a polite child." Things gather people in groups, since they are friends of the second brother, they must not be wrong......"
Xu said: "That's the eldest son of Mao Zhuangyuan of Hanlin Academy, a person from Kunshan, sixteen this year, and he has not yet married.
The third wife said with a smile: "This is not a good son-in-law candidate, and this time the sister-in-law doesn't have to worry about Sister Yu's relatives." ”
Xu smiled and nodded, but he was not very sure in his heart.
In terms of family history, the two families have done a family affair. Even if Mao Cheng is the champion and has a bright future, his family is a craftsman, and his ancestors have no merit, so he is not a high-ranking family. Although Sister Yu is the heir, she is the niece of the eldest master, and she is not considered to be a champion in the past.
There is no reason for the woman to come to the door to propose.
But such a good son-in-law candidate, if you miss it, it will be difficult to find.
In the garden, it was a mess, and everyone had a round stomach.
Shen Rui didn't hold it up, but seeing that Brother Shou and He Taizhi were shy, he was afraid that the two of them would eat too much meat and accumulate food, so he took everyone to throw the pot.
Speaking of which, the Shen family also has a small school field, which is a cross-courtyard on the middle road, and there are also targets, stone piers and the like. This is last year when Shen Jue and the third master were studying, the eldest master asked someone to clean it up, so that they could exercise their bodies and bones while studying.
However, thinking of Brother Shou's strong and competitive temperament, Shen Rui didn't dare to lead people over there.
If Brother Shou had to pull a stone bow and hurt his arm, he would have to blacklist the one in the palace. If it weren't for the fact that everyone wanted to get acquainted with each other in the shortest possible time, Shen Rui would not have arranged this meal so out of line.
Knowing that Brother Shou is a fun-loving person, the best way to hug his thighs is to play along.
After eating for a while, Shen Quan and Mao Chi left first.
Half a month off is only one day, and they have other arrangements.
Before leaving, Shen Quan pulled Shen Rui aside and whispered, "Uncle Niang let you lose the fire, it's for your good." You're only fourteen, so it's not good to get into sex too early, or not to hurt yourself...... After two years, the eldest aunt will definitely have an arrangement, don't worry......"
When Shen Rui heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, laughed twice, and said, "I know, I don't need the third brother to persuade me, I'm not in a hurry at all......"
Shen Quan was only ashamed of him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's all men, why are you embarrassed to speak?" When you grow up, you know that you want a woman, and it's not your fault? If you don't tell me, who else can you talk to? ”
Hearing Shen Quan mention this, Shen Rui was a little curious.
He has no love for Dongxi, but he has been lustful twice, and he is a little reluctant to marry Dongxi; Shen Quan, the person in the house, can serve him for two years, is he really willing to let him go?
"The third brother's house is really going to be sent before getting married? Did you serve the third brother? Shen Rui said with a little curiosity.
When Shen Quan heard this, his face became a little uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Shen Rui couldn't help but regret it, and hurriedly said: "I'm talking too much"
Guo's establishment of such a rule is a good thing for the daughters-in-law of the fifth room, and it is also beneficial to the stability of the family. I always hear the disputes between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of others, that is, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the fourth room were also a lawsuit, but in the fifth room, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not see the dirty, and they got along with each other affectionately.
It's just that people's hearts are long, and men inevitably pity their women. Shen Quan may not be willing to let the room out, and he asked directly, which was a little uninteresting.
Shen Quan's expression was gloomy, and he said, "Cui Yu is already matched......"
Cui Yu is the person in the house that Shen Quan received the year before last, not the maid next to him, but the second-class maid in Guo's room, with a delicate appearance and a docile person, Shen Rui has also seen it.
Shen Rui was a little surprised, but he felt that it was reasonable.
Although Shen Quan has already set a marriage, the wedding date is set for next year. Now that Cui Yu is sent out, even if Shen Quan is reluctant in his heart, he has almost forgotten about it for a year and a half.
I didn't expect to send it back to Songjiang, but to match people directly in the capital.
Looking at Shen Quan, who looked gloomy, Shen Rui understood the intention of Guo's move.
Shen Quan seems to be transparent and sophisticated, but he is actually a very soft-hearted character, Cui Yu is his first woman, and he accompanied him from depression, and it is not surprising that he is pitiful.
It's Guo's methods, which are so crisp and neat, and they don't have any more pity because Shen Quan is a young son.
Shen Rui was afraid that Shen Quan would have a grudge in his heart, and said: "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, in the final analysis, my aunt is still for the sake of the third brother......
Shen Quan smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, can I still blame my parents with a wolf heart?" I just regret it...... I didn't know I should have ...... today."
Although Shen Rui looks old and serious, after all, he is here for a long time, and Shen Quan can't talk too much about it, so he left a little stunned.
Shen Rui, who watched it, was also a little depressed in his heart.
Because of the hard preparation for the exam in the past few months, Xu was worried that he was in good health, so he made up for all kinds of soups, and the result was to make him "angry".
Needless to say, I lost my dream twice.
When he saw the young maid beside Xu, Shen Rui's gaze was occasionally pulled, which was the awakened male instinct in his body.
It's just a set of moral constraints, so that he is indifferent to the beautiful maid's "secret sending autumn waves", but occasionally there is still a time when his heart beats faster.
Shen Rui, who has experienced the second adolescence, knows that this is an instinctive reaction of the body.
Shen Rui is not an abstinent person, but let him rely on his identity to do something to the maids around him, and he can't give up that face.
I only regret that I have a young fiancée, why is she four years younger? If he were four years older, maybe he would be ready to marry now......
