When the champion red of two catties and one jar was drunk to the end, everyone was drunk.

In addition to Shen Jue, who is not good at drinking, although the youngest Brother Shou and He Taizhi are just playing fists and shaking dice to fight with Shen Jue, Shao, who has won many defeats, does not drink much, but the most drunk are today's host Shen Rui and Xu Wu, who came to the Shen family for the first time.

Shen Rui drank a lot of cups on his behalf because he wanted to take care of Shen Jue before.

His face was red, his eyes were hazy, Shen Quan didn't feel at ease when he looked at it, and he hurriedly asked Chunyan to serve the sobering soup.

In fact, Shen Quan was too worried, although Shen Rui's body rarely drank alcohol, but he had a sense of proportion, but this body was easy to get up, and he looked like he was drunk.

As for Xu Wu, he was too happy.

No one flattered or mocked him secretly, and no one intentionally or unintentionally mentioned his dignity to remind him of his origins. It's like we're all the same people.

They are all raised by their fathers and mothers, with two eyes and one nose, and they are about the same people.

Why do you have to divide it into three, six, nine, and so on, and come out with dignity and humility?

It's Yang Shen, the nerd type he usually hates the most, and now he feels close to it.

He patted Yang Shen on the shoulder and said: "Don't think that you are a showman, you look down on the prisoners, you must know that no matter whether you take the township test or the exam, there are often prisoners as the leader."

Yang Shen nodded and said: "Zhilu Dao, Zhilu Dao is in the three tripod armor in the spring this year, the champions are all Guozi prisoners, and the second class is also the second."

When Xu Wu heard this, he was taken aback: "So powerful? ”

Yang Shen was puzzled: "Brother Xu doesn't know this?" ”

Xu Wu is just a mess in Guozijian, except for Yang Zhongyan, who has known him for many years, his relationship with other classmates is not good, and he really doesn't know about it.

Xu Wu laughed twice and said, "Of course, I just forgot about it for a while." "Speaking of this, he paused and said: Since you don't dislike the country's prisoners, then everyone will come out to play in the future, but you are not allowed to pull me down."

Yang Shenshi didn't understand what it was to dislike Guozi Prison and have fun with everyone, but when he saw Xu Wu looking at it with blank eyes, he nodded in confusion.

Yang Zhongyan sat next to him, and just when he heard the two of them talking, he raised his eyelids and glanced at Xu Wu.

Although Xu Wu's father was not the champion back then, he was the eye of the example, but Xu Wu's gentleman was really not the material for reading. Although Guozijian is able to produce many people, it definitely does not include Xu Wu. Xu Wu's nickname is "Xu Caobao", but he didn't come for nothing.

But think about your homework, don't laugh at the eldest brother and the second brother, Yang Zhongyan sullenly drank the sobering soup in front of him.

As the son of a civil official, Yang Zhongyan certainly knew the importance of the imperial examination, but he was really not a material for reading

Now the partners in the hall are all teenagers, like-minded, and they don't care about their background. But after ten or twenty years, it will be divided into high and low.

My eldest brother-in-law took several etiquette exams, and only in his thirties did he get a fellow jinshi; My brother took the exam several times, got stuck in the township exam, and when he got here, he was not even sure about the children's exam, so he directly entered the Guozijian.

His father, a Dali Siqing, saw the ten-year-old concubine of the Yang scholar's family, and took the initiative to ask to be a son-in-law, just because there was no one to follow.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhongyan couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, and he didn't care about the sobering soup in his hand, so he beckoned: "Another bowl"

Everyone even sobered up to rest, and when it came to Shen Chu (three o'clock in the afternoon), except for Shen Jue, who was still asleep, the other people's alcohol was almost gone.

In winter, it was dark early, and everyone did not stay long and left.

Others are okay, Yang Shen thought of Brother Shou's identity, and hesitated how to remind Shen Rui. Brother Shou is the most clever, he had already remembered this stubble, and was staring at Yang Shen, so he came over and wanted to go with Yang Shen.

Yang Shen couldn't, so he had to look at Shen Rui with some guilt, and was dragged away by Brother Shou.

Xu Wu beat a small lack of friends, and just said to Yang Shen, who was sitting next to him, that he would meet in the future, and before leaving, he didn't forget to pat his chest and say to Shen Rui: "I and Yang Er are good friends who grew up in a small place, and his cousin is my cousin.

Although his words are a little arrogant, they are not untrue.

Although the Zhang family did not recognize his identity, but after the death of the Duke of Changguo, in addition to the Zhang brothers were crowned, the beneficiary was Xu Wu's Laozi, who was promoted to the position of the Ministry of Rites in a few years.

Xu Qiong Zhishi returned to his hometown, left his young son in the capital, and was ordered to study in prison, which was also to warn others not to fall into the well, and to be merciful today.

Shen Rui could hear that Xu Wu's words were sincere, so he also appreciated it, and said, "Well, I wrote it down, and if I can't keep it, I will trouble Fifth Brother Xu." ”

Yang Zhongyan was beside him, feeling that his face was hot.

Could it be that Xu Wu regarded Shen Rui as one of those competitive and competitive gentlemen in the Guozi Prison? Looks like he's going to help fight. These two people are not all the way at all. This Xu Wu is too noisy today.

Yang Shen, who came out of the Shen house, was pulled aside by Brother Shou and said in a low voice: "Everyone is friends, get together and have fun, it's boring to talk about the side."

Yang Shen listened, his brows furrowed, and he was noncommittal about this.

The Son of Heaven is a "widow", the East Palace is a "lonely", others are just subjects to them, where will they have friends?

The son of the daughter can't sit down, and Brother Shou is burdened with the society. If you go out of the palace often like this, if there is anything bad, the world will be in turmoil.

Brother Shou's eyebrows were already raised, and his face was uncertain: "Senior brother doesn't want to spoil the fun?" ”

Yang Shen shook his head and did not answer.

He was a little confused, and decided to go home and discuss it with his father to see how to deal with it.

Brother Shou only regarded Yang Shen as "knowing practice", and talked about the curling game with Gao Wenhu next to him with a little pride

After more than half a year of martial arts practice, Gao Wenhu's hands and eyes have been trained, which is also the reason why he brought a few scrap teammates by himself, but he can still compete with the red team.

"If curling was simpler, it might be able to reach the streets and alleys, but now it looks like it's made of stone, but a set of stones costs a lot of money, and ordinary people can't afford it." Gao Wenhu said with pity.

Brother Shou "Ha Luha" said with a smile: "Ordinary people outside can't afford it, but there is no shortage of silver in the factory guard, Brother Gao, you can rest assured, there must be a time for you to play." ”

Gao Wenhu nodded and said, "That's good, I didn't throw enough today...... It would be nice to have a fun time in the afternoon."

Brother Shou rubbed his shoulders and said, "Who said it wasn't, in the final analysis, He Taizhi and Yang Shen were too wasteful, and Shen Rui was too mother-in-law......

Gao Wenhu glanced at Yang Shen and felt that it was unkind for Brother Shou to talk behind his back, but he knew that he had a big temper and didn't dare to persuade him, so he smiled and diverted the conversation.

Seeing off all the guests, Shen Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking of the third master, Shen Rui's footsteps were a little hesitant.

Even if he pretended not to know Brother Shou's true identity in front of the elders before, he can only pretend to the end now, otherwise he can't explain why he didn't tell the elders before.

Thinking like this, Shen Rui returned to Jiuruju.

Shen Jue was still sleeping in the back room, and the smell of wine and food in the hall was mixed together, which was very unpleasant. Liu Ya was opening the window to ventilate, and Chunyan grabbed two handfuls of sandalwood and lit them.

Seeing this, Shen Jue went to the study and took a book in his hand casually, but he couldn't read it.

What would the third master say? How should I deal with it?

If the elders had informed him, "Zhilu Dao" Brother Shou's identity, his response in front of Brother Shou in the future could no longer be so casual.

Before today's treat, Shen Rui had thought about this, and he also wanted to keep a distance from Brother Shou, the relationship between the province was too close, and it was difficult to grasp the proportions, and it was easy to provoke taboos.

At this time, I saw Hongyun coming: "Mrs. asked the second brother to come over and talk." ”

Shen Rui listened, put on a big coat, and came out of Jiuru Courtyard.

The sky had become dark and looked like it was going to snow.

Shen Rui tightened his clothes and followed Hongyun to the main courtyard.

"Mother is looking for me?" Shen Rui asked.

Hongyun shook his head and said: "The servant doesn't know ......" Speaking of this, he lowered his voice: "But the third master came here before, and his face didn't look quite right......

reminds this sentence, it is not that Hongyun is the master, but that the Shen family knows that Shen Rui is the future head of the family, not only the housekeeper and Zhou's mother know the current affairs, but even Hongyun and other servants also have their own thoughts.

When Shen Rui heard this, his heart was steady.

One time less, the two arrived at the main courtyard.

Xu sat for a while, and when he saw Shen Rui coming in, he didn't rush to speak, but looked him up and down, and said, "I heard Mother Zhou say that you ate a jar of champion red, isn't this nonsense?" Careful headache. ”

Shen Rui asked for peace first, then rubbed his temples and said: "It's a little heavy-headed, the children are really troubled by them, they only planned to give them sweet wine before, and then they shouted for wine to eat......

Seeing him like this, Xu couldn't help but regret it, and shouldn't call him over in a hurry.

However, thinking that it was very important, she sent Hongyun down, asked Shen Rui to sit beside her, and said, "Brother Rui, how did you get to know Brother Shou, tell me carefully." ”

Shen Rui straightened his body and said uneasily: "Mother, but what is wrong with Brother Shou's identity?" Is the child causing trouble for the family? ”

Xu Shi didn't nod or shake his head, but said, "You tell me about what you know first, and then we'll talk about other things." ”

Shen Rui pondered, thought for a while, and carefully talked about the invitation to Gao Wenhu to go to Chengxiafang in February and meet Brother Shou by the way.

He also mentioned these things to the Xu family at the beginning, but he didn't talk about them so carefully.

When Xu Shi heard this, he knew in his heart that the partner that Brother Shou wanted to make when he came out of Weifu should be Gao Wenhu, and it was just a "coincidence" with Shen Rui here.

A son of a butcher, getting this favor, is really not a blessing or a curse.

After meeting him a few times, the Xu family had a good impression of Gao Wenhu, and he couldn't help but worry about him, but the most important thing was to care about Shen Rui.

"In addition to the two times you were a guest at home this time, how many times have you met Brother Shou?" Xu asked.

"It's just once, it's the day of the hairpin feast, Brother Shou and Wenhu went to look for us, and everyone went out to eat tea and talk." Shen Ruidao.

Xu calculated in his heart, from February to the present, nearly ten months, Shen Rui has seen Brother Shou four times.

For ordinary friends, seeing each other four times for such a long time is inevitably alienating; But for the East Palace, which was supposed to be in the imperial city, there were too many times to see Shen Rui.

Although two of the Shen Mansion banquets were invited by Shen Rui, if the East Palace didn't want to be close to Shen Rui, he wouldn't have come to the door at all.

Even if you believe in Shen Rui's vision of making friends, he will still ponder and verify Shen Rui's new friend with his own eyes, for fear that he will be deceived when he encounters someone with strange thoughts, what about the most noble parents in the world?

But looking at Shen Rui, Xu's heart was relieved.

Put Brother Shou, who is dressed in strange clothes and does what he wants, and Shen Rui, who is well-behaved and diligent in learning, can be seen at a glance who is "Mo" and who is "Zhu".

For such a long time, no one has stopped Brother Shou from going out of the palace to socialize, maybe it's because of this?

"Mother?" Seeing that Xu was silent in thought, Shen Rui called out.

Xu Shi looked at Shen Rui and said in silence: "Brother Rui, if Brother Shou's identity is extremely noble, do you still want to continue to associate with him?" ”

Shen Rui blinked, and did not answer immediately, but asked rhetorically, "Will the mother allow the child to continue to associate with her?" ”

Xu sighed and said, "I don't know what to do, but the master may oppose it." ”

Shen Rui knew in his heart that Xu's words were not lies.

Shen Cang is an orthodox literati, even if he has selfish intentions, he will not hesitate to choose the former when it comes to cultivating a personal relationship with his son and the East Palace in Jiangshan Sheji. This is also to better protect the Shen family and Shen Rui, otherwise in the eyes of the emperor, he will look down on the Shen family.

Shen Rui thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, don't continue to communicate anymore......
