After Laba, the atmosphere in the Shuntian Mansion School gradually became impetuous.

The students here come from all over the territory of Shuntianfu, and there are people like Shen Rui who live in Beijing County and go to school; There are also people from other remote counties who live in Fuxue. It's okay to go to school, and I go home every day; Boarding students, because they are busy with their studies, it is common not to see their relatives for three or five months, how can they miss home? In another half month, Shuntianfu School will have annual leave.

With Wang Ding's departure before, Liang Yao also took a leave and returned to Fuxue.

At the end of the school that day, Shen He and Liang Yao walked out side by side.

Somehow mentioned Wang Ding, Liang Yao gloated, but also sighed: "I saw that although he was tall earlier, he was also an understanding person, but I didn't expect it to be so rampant, even if his cousin does have a place that can't stand him, but there is a grace, and he won't have to fight." If you want to say that the relatives are uneven, my cousin accepted him as a disciple, relieved him of laziness, and helped for several years, is it still wrong to help? ”

Shen Rui said: "Or in his eyes, only others are sorry for him." Some people remember kindness, but some people have another belly, only the good of others is deserved, and the bad is indebted. ”

Liang Yao nodded and said: "If that's really the case, let's talk about Hengyun, but the fate of taking the exam in the same county as him, and the ranking is above him, so he will regard him as an enemy, and he has been entangled for two years...... I was also confused, and I even thought that it was not easy for him to study hard for ten years......"

Shen Rui didn't answer again.

When Shen Jue stopped moving, Liang Yao got the news, and he also went to Beijing for a funeral, knowing that Shen Rui had a brother's clothes on him, even if Shangshufu didn't hang white in the New Year, Shen Rui was not good at feasting, so he said: "I'm afraid it's hard to see the New Year, what are Hengyun's arrangements?" ”

Shen Rui shook the book in his hand and said, "There are a lot of things to do during the holidays, and I have pulled down my homework before, but I have to be busy."

Liang Yao said: "Although I won't play next year, I still have to work hard...... I can't always be Hengyun Chunfu After high school, I didn't even have a chance to end the township exam, and at that time, I didn't have the face to say that I was Hengyun's classmate......"

As they spoke, the two of them left the school, and saw a person standing at the door of the school, looking at an alley not far away. It's not someone else, it's Zhao Fu, who got the imperial pen plaque last month.

Because Zhao Fu's wife has one child and three sons, even the imperial court has moved, and everyone in the school naturally knows about it. While others were curious about the triplets, they also envied Zhao Fu's good luck. It's just a student, and his name has reached the front of the emperor, so it is conceivable that as long as he is tested in the future, the future must not be wrong.

Shen Rui coincided with his meeting, but he admired Zhao Fu's personality.

is also a poor student, Wang Ding is resentful, and when he gains power, he is rampant; Zhao Fu has the style of an ancient literati, and he is not shocked by honor and disgrace.

Even if he got the double gift of the county government and the government office, the old mansion has been dressed up and renewed, and the mansion school here does not have the name of the school and gets the treatment of the school, but Zhao Fu does not change his true colors, he still wears the old Confucian shirt, but the sorghum flour cake brought for lunch has been replaced with two noodles, and the side dishes are not only pickle strips, but occasionally there is an extra piece of salted fish and bacon. When he eats, it is as if he has a peerless delicacy, comfortable and satisfied, which makes the people who dine with him look more appetizing.

Zhao Fu did not stop copying books in the school, but took more of them.

When my classmates saw this, they couldn't help but be surprised.

Shen Rui has been in contact with him these days, but he knows the inside story. The money and rice sent by the county government and the government government, except for part of the money borrowed from Shen Rui, and some of it was used for the post-maternal conditioning, and the rest did not move much.

In Zhao Fu's own words: "I don't get anything for nothing, and my heart is already uneasy." It's just that Clumsy Jing is now bedridden, and his children are young, and he is ashamed to accept it when he needs money...... But he also has three provinces a day, and he doesn't dare to let himself be slack, and he is not greedy for ......"

Although there are many cunning people who read, how can a benevolent gentleman like Zhao Fu not make people feel like a spring breeze?

According to the words of later generations, Zhao Fu has positive energy all over his body. It was Shen Rui, who was in a gloomy mood because of his previous confusion, and because of his dealings with Zhao Fu, his mood was much broader.

"Brother Zhao, what are you looking at?" Liang Yao saw Zhao Fu stop and look, and stepped forward with curiosity to ask.

Zhao Fu pointed to the mouth of the alley and said, "There is a person standing there just now, like Wang Ding, who looks a little unsatisfactory." ”

Liang Yao glanced at the mouth of the alley, it was empty, only two children were playing, so he pouted and said: "Speaking of which, he is the same party as the liar, but he is not involved in the case, but because of his unscrupulous behavior, he has no imprisonment, which is already good ......luck."

Zhao Fu sighed and said: "It's just that he is young and frivolous, and he is a little impetuous, so he regrets it, but where is there a regret medicine in this world......"

Liang Yao said: "It's all tossed by yourself, and your fame is gone, so who can you blame......"

Zhao Fu didn't speak again, and the three of them said goodbye and went to their respective homes.

Originally, there were only two children playing at the mouth of the alley, but a person slowly came out, looking at the backs of Shen Rui, Zhao Fu and others, with a gloomy face. When he was famous before, Wang Ding was unfair; Now that he has lost his fame, he is full of resentment from the inside out.

As someone else, the one he hates the most must be the cousin who went to school to sue the political yamen, and the second time is the student official who refuses to turn a blind eye and let go of himself, but it is Wang Ding's turn here, although he hates those people, but the one he hates the most is Shen Rui. Because he knew in his heart that even if he really acted carelessly, his treatment of himself could be light or severe, and now he ended up being expelled from his country, which was the heaviest of the disposals.

Xuezheng is also from the imperial examination, how can he not know the weight of fame? It's so easy to snatch, it's no wonder there's no cat in it?

Wang Ding didn't reflect on his first two foxes and fake tigers, and offended many people, just thinking that there was a villain who was jealous and jealous of himself and could frame him. Needless to say, this villain is naturally his imaginary enemy Shen Rui.

To say that Wang Ding was just jealous of Shen Rui in the past, now it is a monstrous hatred. And Liang Yao and Zhao Fu, who are good friends with Shen Rui, in Wang Ding's eyes, are naturally also raccoon dogs, and they hate them together.

Shangshu Mansion, the upper room of the main courtyard.

Xu was sitting on the couch, and Sister Yu was wearing plain clothes, and she was mentioning the New Year's ceremony. The rituals are all prepared, but now Shen Rui has clothes on him, the chief housekeeper is not at home, and the third master should not be tired even if he gradually recovers, and there is no suitable person to give gifts in the whole house.

"People who are familiar with each other are more sympathetic, and the second housekeeper can come forward A little farther away, only the second housekeeper comes forward, it is a little inappropriate to ......" Sister Yu was worried about this matter, and did not dare to delay, so she came to ask Xu to take an idea

No matter how decent the housekeeper is among the domestic servants, he is also a subordinate servant, and sometimes he does not represent the master's family. The big housekeeper is old, and he has been in diplomacy with Shen Cang for many years, but he is a little decent; The second housekeeper only took care of housekeeping before, and he was not well known, and he did not have that dignity.

When Xu heard this, he sighed again for Ding Danbo, a person from Shangshu Mansion, and said, "If you can't do it, please ask my brother to come over and help......

The most important clan in the world, even if Shen Quan is just a nephew of the Shen Cang clan, the clan relatives are more decent than the housekeeper, not to mention that he still has fame.

Sister Yu'er's eyes lit up and said, "I forgot that the third brother was there before, it was just right......"

Xu Shi glanced at the hourglass and said to Hongyun: "Go and send someone to see if Rui Ge'er is out of school, if you come back, please come here......"

Hongyun answered, Sister Yu pinched the handkerchief, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mother, it's about to be the New Year, where is the Songbai Courtyard?" ”

Shen Jue died of illness, and the whole of Songbai Courtyard was responsible for neglecting the master. Before, because they were under the name of the small second room, the Xu family did not interfere with the housekeeper, but last month they were so angry, several close maids were beaten by the board, and other little maids and mothers-in-law also got rid of Qian Mi, and all of them were not allowed to come out, and they were detained in Songbai Courtyard to serve Shen Jue.

It's just that the New Year is approaching, and there are elders in the family, and the maidservants and mothers-in-law will inevitably be suspected of colliding with bad luck.

Xu frowned and said: "Since the family is not cheap, then they will all move to the second master's village, and others will guard the 'seven sevens, and the maids and servants will be guarded for five months." Then you don't need to come back on an errand, just leave it to the other side to take care of the matter......"

Shen Jue is a "middle mourner", the mourning is one level lower, the most important thing is the great merit, and the children are filial piety; Because of the need to lower the level by one level, the great work here does not need to be taken for nine months, but for five months.

Brothers and sisters like Shen Rui and Sister Yu serve small merits for the brothers who are in the middle of the death, and because they want to be demoted, they don't need to serve for five months, but three months.

It is also common for slaves and maids to serve their children and filial piety for their masters. Xu's arrangement is not harsh.

Hongyun picked up the curtain and came in: "Madam, the maid just sent someone to ask, the second brother is back, go back to Jiuruju to change clothes first, and have already ordered someone to invite ......"

Xu Shi nodded, and said to Sister Yu'er: "Although your third brother is not an outsider, but if you want to invite him to come over, you can't call him to come, so let your second brother go and invite Fang properly......"

Sister Yu said thoughtfully: "Mother, there are three sons and daughters of the uncle family of the five-room family, and the third brother has always been the best with the second brother......

Xu shook his head and said, "Let's not worry about this, how about it in the future, let your second uncle make his own decisions......

Sister Yu responded honestly, but she remembered that she was coming with the two brothers in Nanchang with the second master.

Both of them had been to Beijing before, and Sister Yu had also seen them, but compared with Shen Quan, who had been in the capital for a few years, she naturally felt that Shen Quan was closer. It's just that she also knows that she is just her daughter's family, whether she is still a concubine under the name of the small second room, or she is a concubine under the name of the long house, and it is not her turn to intervene in such a major event as the heir incense.

Speaking skills, Shen Rui has already arrived. He changed into homely clothes, although the Xu family sent people to stare at Wen Bu in the past half month, but it still looked a little thin.

When Xu saw it, he couldn't help but worry: "Do you want to ask someone to prescribe two more medicinal food recipes?" How can I make up for these days, and I don't see any flesh......"

Shen Rui smiled and said: "Now my son uses two bowls of rice for one meal, and the medicinal diet arranged by my mother is not lost, so that my son has nosebleeds...... However, for most of the month, my son has gained ten pounds, but my son is now withdrawing, which is not ......"

Sister Yu also said on the side: "The second brother is indeed taller than in the autumn, and the new clothes I sewed a few days ago were an inch longer than the one before the winter." It's just that I see it every day, but I don't see it ......."

When Xu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's how good it ......."

Immediately, Xu Shi asked Shen Quan to come over to help.

Shen Rui had no objection, but said with some guilt: "I was busy with my homework before, but I forgot to give a New Year's gift, and my eldest sister must be embarrassed......
