"This is the second young master of the Shen family's fourth room?" The male duck's voice was sharp and harsh: "Why don't you even have a carriage, you want to rub your aunt's carriage?" ”

Shen Rui and Shen Quan hadn't entered the clan study yet, and Guo Sheng had already walked over with his chin raised and glanced at Shen Rui with contempt. Seeing him like this, Shen Quan couldn't help frowning and said, "Speak well, what kind of yin and yang weirdness?" ”

Guo Sheng pouted and said, "I'm telling the truth, and I'm not lying, what's wrong?" Since he is younger than me, starting from my third cousin, shouldn't he still call me cousin and greet me? Do you want me to slap him? This is the style of the Shen family's children, and it is not to be looked down upon. ”

Shen Quan snorted lightly: "I'm still your cousin, and I haven't seen me." My cousin is really a crow that falls on the pig, and he can't see what he is. ”

Guo Sheng was not convinced, and said: "But I took a day off yesterday and didn't see my third cousin, and you still want me to make a big gift with my third cousin?" The third cousin is so big-skinned, and he doesn't know if he can stand it. ”

Shen Quan raised his eyebrows and said: "In this ethnology, it is either a clan relative or a cousin, if you really talk about Lily, you don't want to become a shrimp, and you can't get up, it's not interesting." ”

There was a carriage coming behind him, Shen Quan ignored Guo Sheng, and beckoned Shen Rui to follow.

Guo Sheng frowned, glared at Shen Quan's back, and scolded the two twin boys: "Jin Nu and Yu Nu are not keeping up yet!" If you delay your brother, you have to be careful with the board! ”

Shen Rui followed Shen Quan's side, a little helpless. The voice of this male duck is really unbearable, and several of the teenagers in the same class are in the period of voice change, but most of them have scruples and rarely speak. Only Shen Qin, who I saw yesterday, and Guo Sheng, who I saw just now, both of them are chattering, and their voices are like scraping iron sheets, and they really can't stand it.

However, this Guo Sheng is also strange, since he is Shen Quanyan's cousin, he is not close at all, not to mention, the two cousins do not deal with each other.

After speaking, when he arrived at the school, there were already seven or eight students sitting in it, and Dong Shuang also arrived, sitting on his seat, holding a copy of "University" in his hand, and was reading silently there. The other students sat in twos and threes, whispering. Seeing Shen Rui coming, Dong Shuang bowed his head slightly, and continued to look at the scroll, his body was no longer as restrained as yesterday, and he was a little more calm and calm.

Shen Rui smiled slightly, and also took the scroll out. It is not a bad thing to have a tablemate like Dong Shuang who is determined to take the imperial examination, it will not disturb him, and maybe he can also encourage him in schoolwork. Shen Jue said yesterday that in addition to the two nephews of the Mu Zi generation in the sixth room, Dong Shuang is the youngest in the "Xia Geng" class, the same as himself, and the month is younger. Maybe in him, he can observe how the real twelve-year-old Daming student acts.

Liu Cheng set up the four treasures of the study, and went to the hut with Shen Quan's scholar. All the scholars sat there, and they could listen to the Master's lectures. The Shen family is a righteous study, and the children of the clan can send their children to school when they reach the age of enlightenment, and they don't have to be lazy, and the clan will even make up some pen, ink and silver money. The children of the in-laws and the deceased family are brought forward by the heads of each house. These people are not free, and they have to be lazy to the study of the family. This part of the cost is not fixed, and it is within your means. For students from poor families, two carts of wood are also used; Those who are wealthy and have insufficient family assets are not lacking in direct donations to the clan to learn silver and silk.

Because the entrance limit card is not strict, there is no such thing as accompanying reading, only the scholars who are brought in to serve the pen and ink, although they are slaves and the like, can listen to the next hut.

As soon as Shen Rui looked into half a page, there were more shadows in front of him, and he didn't need to look up, just looked at the new royal blue clothes, and the golden lock plate the size of a child's fist, and knew that it was Shen Quan's cousin. Shen Rui raised his head and saw Guo Sheng looking at him suspiciously with frowning eyebrows.

"How are you sitting here? I made an appointment with Shen Xiu, and I would sit with Brother Dong when I took the first exam in the month. Guo Sheng said with a little annoyance in confusion.

Shen Rui listened, glanced at Dong Shuang, and was a little impatient.

This one or two are not annoying, this Guo Sheng and Shen Xiu are the same age, they are both fourteen or five years old, logically speaking, they are not too young, why are they so naïve? At this age, if you can take the boy's exam in school, you can get married in family affairs, and you are about to become a child, do you want to come out, do you and I have a childish game of fighting for friends with him? Three years ago, Shen Jin and Shen Quan were also at this age, but those two teenagers were so well-behaved and sensible, but the two middle two teenagers in front of them were not beaten.

Dong Shuang "Teng" got up suddenly, his face flushed, not ashamed, but annoyed: "Brother Guo, I told you a long time ago that I want to concentrate on studying, and I have no time to socialize and play with Brother Guo." Brother Shen and I sat together, it was arranged by Mr. Dong, if Guo Sheng was dissatisfied, just say to Mr. Dong! ”

He hasn't reached the time of changing his voice yet, his voice is crisp and a little glutinous, even if his tone is not good, it is not annoying.

Guo Sheng was stunned and muttered unwillingly: "I won't disturb Brother Dong's hard work, isn't it good to study and prepare for the exam together?" ”

Dong Shuang's face was cold, and he sat down, not caring about Guo Sheng. Guo Sheng stood up again, rolled his eyes at Shen Rui unconvinced, and returned to his seat. Shen Rui glanced at it, and he could find the reason why Shen Xiu and Guo Sheng were staring at the empty seats next to Dong Shuang. With Dong Shuang's single-minded study, he obviously doesn't have the kung fu and mood to cultivate friendship with those two. And the two of them posted it bably, for no other reason, that is, they were too annoying at the same table.

Shen Xiu and Guo Sheng are at the same table, one is a poor student who is not recognized by the family even if he is arrogant, and the other is a son of heaven who has a pompous family, it is strange that these two can fight against each other.

Looking at the two of them looking at each other, the nose is not the nose, and the eyes are not the eyes of the cockfight, Shen Rui's mood is inexplicable.

Dong Shuang beside him whispered: "Brother Shen, don't worry, I won't let people disturb Brother Shen anymore because of me, and I won't trouble the second brother again!" ”

The boy's voice was not high, but it was exceptionally firm. Shen Rui glanced at him, and there was a little more smile in his eyes: "Junior Brother Dong, don't think too much, they are all classmates, and a few words of gossip will not hinder anything." ’

Dong Shuang realized Shen Rui's kindness, the corners of his mouth picked, nodded lightly, and said "um".

When the class bell rang, Shen Yan came in, and a class began.

Dong Shuang picked up the pen and began to take notes, and when he was writing a full page to change the paper, he saw Shen Rui doing the same, and couldn't help but glance at the desk in front of Shen Rui. Obviously it is shorthand, Shen Rui's stroke is grassy, and the end is smooth, not messy at all.

Although he had been at the same table for half a day yesterday, Dong Shuang also knew what it meant to "hear is false, seeing is believing", but he didn't expect Shen Rui's words to be so dignified and atmospheric. This Shen Rui is obviously a young man, steady, serious and writes a good word, why are the rumors so unbearable?

Is it the rebirth of filial piety for three years, or is there another hidden meaning to the notoriety of "stubborn arrogance"? In Dong Shuang's heart, he unconsciously gave birth to a little curiosity.

Shen Rui listened attentively to the lecture and benefited a lot. No matter how far Shen Yan can go in the imperial examination, he is indeed a good master, and when it comes to the four books, it is easy to understand, and the statement of later generations is "guided" teaching, not "indoctrination", which makes people understand more profoundly.

At the end of a class, there was an hour when it felt like an eye had passed by.

Until the bell rang for the end of class, Shen Yan walked out of the book with the scroll, and Shen Ruifang put down the pen. The notes in front of me have been memorized for more than twenty pages. He rubbed his wrist and recounted the lessons in his mind. Although he has lived two lifetimes, he has never felt that he can get anything for nothing, this was the case in his previous life, and this is also the case in this life.

He was not afraid of the road to fame, but he was not arrogant enough to be at his fingertips

It's just that his study time is too short, even if Shen Li has taught him the Four Books and Five Classics, standing at the height of Shen Li, letting him talk about the most basic things may not be as clear as Shen Yan. Shen Rui didn't take the boy exam in the past, but he didn't think that he would get any good results, because he knew that he had a short time to learn ancient Chinese and his foundation was insufficient. I didn't take it to heart, I just thought that even if the results of the county examination and the government examination were worse, I would work hard in the college examination the year after tomorrow, and my grades would improve a lot in the middle of more than a year.

Now I have listened to Shen Yan's two classes. Shen Rui didn't think so, because he had the opportunity to build a firmer foundation.

Thinking of this, Shen Rui said to Dong Shuang: "Junior Brother Dong, I haven't come to the clan school in the past few years, and there are many incomprehensible things about the gourd swallowing dates that I learned at home. I wonder if I can borrow your notes? ”

When Dong Shuang heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he whispered: "My notes ......"

Shen Rui saw that his face was not fake, he was really embarrassed and hesitated, and hurriedly said: "If it's inconvenient, forget it, I'll slowly ask the master for advice." ”

Dong Shuang shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't lend it to Brother Shen, but ...... There are several boxes of that note, and I often review them, but it is inconvenient to take them to Brother Shen at once. If Brother Shen is not to blame, I will share it with Brother Shen in the future? It's just that I don't know if Brother Shen can read the book fast or not, if it's slow, I'm afraid I'll use it here. ”

When Shen Rui heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I'll copy it once and return it to Brother Dong, a notebook, you can work hard in two or three days, and it won't delay you to use ......."

Before Dong Shuang could speak, he saw Shen Jue come over and say, "What is Brother Rui talking about?" After several gestures, you can't see it. ”

Shen Rui raised his head and said, "I asked two words of homework, Brother Jue is looking for me?" ”

"It's piano class this afternoon, I'm impatient with that, let's go to the street?" Shen Jue's eyes lit up and said: "A new restaurant has opened on Fuqian Street, I heard that it is the imperial chef from the Nanjing Palace, let's go to see and see?" ”

In the afternoon's "Six Arts Class", students can choose to take it, so Shen Jue has this plan.

Shen Rui thought about his three years, except for the half year when he went out, he had avoided living in Xilin Zen Temple, and he had really never been in the city, so he nodded and said: "Since Brother Jue said it, he will accompany him." ”

Seeing that Dong Shuang next to him showed some expectation on his face, Shen Rui hesitated, thinking about Shen Jue's temper, there was still nothing to do.

Zongfang, in the grandfather's house.

After reading the letter in his hand, the eldest man showed a little shock on his face: "This ...... How can this Brother Luo say that if he doesn't, he won't? The master sighed and said: "How can this be good, although you have three cousins in the second room, you only have the seedling of Brother Luo......"
