Shen Jue wants to stay in Beijing, but he has to find a place to study.

According to Shen Cang's intentions, he still planned to find a relationship from the Hanlin Academy and send Shen Jue to Chunshan Academy.

However, Shen Rui does not think that Shen Jue should go to the academy now, it is already the winter moon, there are four months left before the children's test in February next year, and there is still a Chinese New Year's Eve in between, even if he goes to the academy, it is only three or four months of effort.

Just like him, he enrolled in September last year, took the children's examination in February this year, and only studied in the academy for half a year, but when he entered the school, the Shen family owed a few favors.

Everything that can be done with silver is a trivial matter, but the door of Chunshan Academy cannot be pried open with silver. Favors are burdens, and one less is one.

In addition, Shen Rui took the initiative to leave Chunshan Academy, so don't put the academy mark on himself, and it is a good thing that Shen Jue did not enter here from the beginning.

"Father, I'd better wait for Brother Jue to finish the children's exam before making plans. If you pass the college examination, you can directly enter the government school; If you are stuck in the college exam, it is not too late to go to the college to study for two years. Shen Rui heard about Shen Cang's plan and directly said his thoughts.

Shen Cang listened to it and felt that what Shen Rui said was also reasonable, but he was afraid that the second master and his wife would be too careful, Shen Jue and Shen Rui were cousins, and there was no reason why the cousin could not go.

Shen Rui said: "This is Brother Jue's own future, why don't you ask Brother Jue first?" ”

Shen Cang asked Shen Jue, although Shen Jue had some interest in Chunshan Academy earlier, it was because Shen Quan, Shen Rui, He Taizhi and others were all studying there. Now that everyone is almost gone, he doesn't care.

Shen Rui only finished the children's test this year, and he still remembers the process of the third test of the county government hospital vividly. He sorted out all his notes and homework, and there were four large boxes of manuscripts.

"I was preparing for the exam at home last year, and Brother Jue read all of these first, and then set a charter for himself, and worked hard at home for a few months." Shen Rui exhorted.

Shen Jue was speechless: "So many manuscripts? This wrist must not be tired...... I knew that the second brother was diligent, but I didn't expect it to come to this point, it seems that this 'case leader, I really can't rely on luck......"

Shen Rui can calm down, but Shen Jue is an active temperament, thinking that he has to study hard behind closed doors, his face can't help showing annoyance, and he hesitated: "Or wait for another two years?" Anyway, now the second brother has also gained fame, and I didn't have anything to do in the early years and a few years later. ”

Shen Rui raised his eyebrows and said: "It's four months of hard study, taking a show of talent and fame, being treated as an adult, and having fun happily and wantonly; Or grind and chirp to study for another three years, and at the age of seventeen or eight, you are still treated as a child, and you can do it yourself. ”

Four months on one side, three years on the other, is this still a choice?

Coupled with the difference between Shen Rui and Shen Jue among the masters of the Qiao family today, everyone knows the benefits of having a fame.

Shen Jue came to the fighting spirit, clenched his right fist, hit his left palm and said: "Of course, it is only four months to choose the former, so why is it difficult?" ”

Shen Rui smiled and nodded, so energetic, this is a real teenager.

He didn't remind Shen Jue that these four months were the beginning, and if you want to get the fame of Xiucai, you need to stay up until mid-June, that is, eight months, Ha Lu Ha......

After a few days, Shen Cang rested.

Master Qiao San had already inquired about it, handed over the post in advance, and came to the door to "thank you" on this day.

As a child, filial piety is a great thing. Not to mention Shen Cang's help when the Qiao family provoked officials, it was Shen Cang and his wife who helped send Mrs. Qiao, and the third master Qiao should also be grateful.

As Xu said, Master Qiao San dared to test in front of Shen Rui and Shen Jue, but he was honest in front of Shen Cang, a big cousin who has always been serious, and he didn't mention Shen Yan and Shen brothers from beginning to end.

Shen Cang only didn't know.

Patriarchal in-laws have always been based on clan relatives, followed by foreign relatives, and wife clan is the lightest.

Of the members of the Qiao family, the only ones who really had service with the Shen family were the late Mrs. Qiao and the three masters.

The two are "sons from the mother", two aunts and cousins, and they are serving hemp.

In the generation of Shen Rui and Shen Jue's brothers, Shen Qiao's family is distant relatives of Wufu.

Shen Cang looked at his deceased mother, although he would not ignore the Qiao family, but he also wanted the Qiao family to be interested. He is already old, and the time he can support Shen Rui is limited, and he will never leave Shen Rui with any burden because of a moment of soft-heartedness.

There was a quarrel between the brothers of the Qiao family twice, and the third master Qiao knew the secret at the beginning, and he complained about his brother with resentment. But that's it, the ugliness of the family must not be publicized, Master Qiao San will continue to follow his career in the future, if there is a case of disobedience in the family, he will also be affected.

However, because of this, a few days after Master Qiao San returned to Beijing, the brothers separated.

Although the Qiao family has fallen, several old men will not be less educated in front of them, but they can't be brothers fighting for property. invited several families to in-law and the mother's family of each wife to testify, and happily separated the family.

It's just that now in the 100-day heat and filial piety, and the inconvenience of moving in the cold winter and the moon, several masters have divided their property and not separated, and agreed to move after the New Year.

After Master Qiao San finished taking care of the housework, he remembered that Shen Yan's brother went to school. He had already inquired before, and the best choices were Chunshan Academy and Nancheng Academy, and the other academies would be inferior.

The relationship that Chunshan Academy needs is greater, and it is easier to Nancheng Academy.

Master Qiao San planned to send Shen Yan, Shen, and Qiao Yongshan to Nancheng Academy, so he sent a message to the old lady of the academy, Changtian, and brought a few children to visit him on this day.

Master Qiao San's mentor has an old relationship with Mrs. Tian, and Master Qiao San often went in and out of Tian's house with his teacher in his early years

Qiao Yongde got the news and hurried over: "Third uncle, I also brought my nephew to ......"

Master Qiao San frowned when he heard this, he didn't count Qiao Yongde before, he did it on purpose.

Master Qiao stole the private room, and Mrs. Qiao knocked on the side of the three-room family before splitting the house, and the greedy faces of the two brothers and sisters-in-law had already made the third master Qiao impatient.

Qiao Yongde, the nephew, is the youngest son of the long house, and he is pampered by the elders when he is young, and he doesn't act like a word. If you really want to talk about the elderly, he is half a year older than Qiao Yongshan, but he doesn't have the slightest place to let his cousin go when he speaks and acts; For the seventh brother who came out of the second room, his nostrils are facing the sky, and there is no friendship at all.

With his brothers, Qiao Yongde asked his brothers to be "brothers and friends"; With his cousins, he asked his cousins to be "brotherly". He himself is in the head everywhere, as if the younger generation is the only one who notices him.

Master Qiao San couldn't get used to his nephew's behavior, and he was afraid that his son would be abducted, so he made up his mind to separate the two.

"I'm going to meet the elders, not to play, how can I add people temporarily? The fifth brother wants to go out to play, go to the eldest brother and the second brother," Qiao San said unceremoniously with a straight face.

Qiao Yongde's face was red, and he looked at Qiao Yongshan with a pleading.

Qiao Yongshan hesitated for a moment, and whispered to the third master: "Dad......"

In the eyes of Master Qiao San, it is that his son has no opinions, but his cousin is obedient.

His expression was even colder, but he didn't hear it, greeted Shen Yan and Shen Sheng, and strode out of the door.

Seeing Qiao Yongde's depressed appearance, although Qiao Yongshan was a little unbearable, he didn't dare to disobey his father and followed behind.

When he arrived at the Tian family, the Tian family master was in good spirits and treated the younger generations gently.

When Master Qiao San expressed his intention and wanted to send a few teenagers to study at Nancheng Academy, Mrs. Tian said: "Old, old, now the boss over there is taking care of it, you tell him to ......"

Tian Shanchang did not refuse, but he also showed embarrassment. After all, Nancheng College is a private college, and the size of the classroom is limited, and the number of students is limited. At the end of this year, it's not the time to recruit students.

Master Qiao San knew that this academy was the favorite, so he praised Shen Yan and Brother Shen. The two brothers, a young man and a young talent, are really good at it. In addition, although the two brothers died early and had no relatives to rely on, they were scholarly children, and the three generations of their father, ancestor, and Zeng family were all famous, and they were the "hot books" during the imperial examination.

When Tian Shan heard this, he personally took the school exam, but he was a little moved, so he planned to accept the two brothers. As for Qiao Yongshan, he has to be a partner. However, when I heard that the two brothers were "Songjiang Mansion people", I swallowed the words on my lips again, and only said that I wanted to think about it, and asked Master Qiao San to listen to the news in a few days.

Although Master Qiao San was a little unhappy about this result, he also knew that he was asking for help now, and he could only follow the rules here.

Being able to be the head of the mountain in the capital academy and the development of the academy is thriving, Tian Shanchang is not a rotten Confucian who does not understand the world.

As soon as Master Qiao San left, Tian Shanchang sent someone to invite his sister-in-law, Master Shen San, to come over.

"Which of your sons is this? Now that you are in Beijing, why didn't you relatives take care of it, but instead voted for the Yue family? Tian Shan directly said about Shen Yan and Brother Shen and asked.

In the eyes of the world, the most important clan. The more people who read, the more they love to trace their roots.

No matter who he is left in, this young man is valued by the clansmen. Even if it is a partial house, at this time, you should start to care for your upbringing. If you don't accept it all the time, unless your father and ancestors are at fault, and you are not compatible with your relatives.

Shen Yan and Shen Brothers, Shen Cang and his wife knew, Shen Rui brothers knew, but the third master didn't know.

He shook his head and said, "I really haven't heard of this person." There are eight heads of houses in my hometown, there are dozens of juniors, and there are hundreds of side branches, who can remember which one is clear? ”

Although Tian Shanchang loves talents, he is worried that Shen Yan and Shen's origins are not innocent.

Master Shen San said: "Although I don't know, Brother Jue should know the Tao. ”

Shen Jue was originally the grandson of the patriarch and the son of the sect, he grew up in Songjiang when he was a child, and this time he went to Beijing with the third master of the Qiao family, and he should also know about the "son-in-law" of the third master of the Qiao family.

Shen Rui went to the official school, Shen Jue was called to Tian's house, and when he heard that he was asking about Shen Yan's brothers, he was a little dumbfounded

The second-room wife is the ancestor of the Shen family, and it is not enough for outsiders.

He said vaguely: "I heard that their ancestors are in the outer room, and their ancestors and fathers do not live in Songjiang, and Shen Yan and his brother also returned to Songjiang after losing their father, and they have not been on the family tree." ”

When Tian Shan heard this, he felt that it was similar to what he had guessed.

The Shen family is a scholarly family, and most of the children and grandchildren who can't go to the family tree are not decent. However, these generations have passed, and Shen Yan's father and ancestors have made great achievements, which shows that this identity does not hinder the law.

Tian Shan was relieved and felt that he could accept students.

Shen San's master was not easy to fool, and when the uncle and nephew left the Tian family, they asked, "I just asked them which house their brother is under the head, why did Brother Jue avoid answering?" Could it be the branch of the sect or the second room? ”

For the sake of His Holiness, the only thing that can make Shen Jue embarrassed is the matter of these two rooms.

Shen Jue told him the identity of Shen Yan's brother, and the third master Shen was dumbfounded.

The third master moved his household registration in his early years and entered Beijing alone, of course Shen San knew about it. Whether it is not in contact with the family for decades, or the third grandfather's gratitude to Mrs. Sun, it is a follow-up to this matter.

After being surprised, Master Shen San became worried.

The two brothers were already older than Shen Rui and Shen Jue, and now they are both famous, if they are hostile to the second room because of their ancestors, it is not impossible.

The Tian family accepted them as students, and they will definitely teach them with their hearts, not to cultivate enemies for Shen Rui and Shen Jue brothers

Master Shen San said, "What did your uncle say?" ”

Shen Jue said: "Uncle said that there is no need to be like a big enemy, as long as you don't provoke the Shen family, and whoever they go"

When Master Shen heard this, he knew the intention of the eldest brother, this was to leave the Shen Yan brothers as the whetstone for Shen Rui and Shen Jue

He couldn't help but be ashamed, just thinking that when the Shen Yan brothers might be hostile to him, what he wanted was to curb the development of the two brothers, which was not as good as the elder brother.

He glanced at Shen Jue and decided to teach this nephew more attentively. Be prepared, as a child of the Shen family, you can't let Shen Rui support the Shen family alone......
