He Nansheng was stunned when he heard this: "When you forget this stubble, you can come out with your aunt...... Then shouldn't my uncle go and hand over a sticker? ”

Shen looked at the sky outside the window, shook his head and said, "No need? At this time, it was outside again. ”

He Nansheng didn't say anything, he didn't force it, he just said: "Then forget it, just go over tomorrow morning to pay a visit." ”

The uncle and nephew are both the second sons of the patriarch's house, taking care of the property of the house, and they usually meet on the scene, and they often eat wine in one place, but they are less restrained than ordinary uncles and nephews.

"It's all in the nine, why is the second uncle still going out?" Shen asked.

"Go to Suzhou Mansion to meet a friend." He Nansheng said with a smile.

Shen Wenyan was overjoyed: "The second uncle is also going to Suzhou Mansion?" Great, just on the same road as my nephew."

He Nansheng smiled "Ha Luha": "Worried about my uncle's carriage again?" Come and sit with my uncle tomorrow, with you to talk, it will save me from being bored alone."

Because of this episode, the next day, there was an extra carriage and seven or eight healthy servants in the Shen family's entourage.

He Nansheng is the in-law of the sect, and he is the cousin of Shen and Shen Jue's brothers, and he came to visit before leaving, but Xu still saw him, and said two words of greeting, although his expression was faint, he was not enthusiastic, but her identity could be, so the process of going through it was already a face for the He family.

He Nansheng's heart was steady, and when he saw Shen Rui and Shen Jue together, he greeted the two of them with a smile and said, "Brother Rui, Brother Jue, do you want to come and sit in the second uncle's car?" ”

He said it naturally, but Shen Rui just smiled and looked at Shen Jue to answer. If you want to be an uncle, you should wait for Xiao He to enter the door.

Shen Jue hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't bother my cousin, my nephew and Brother Rui want to listen to the third brother."

Seeing that they didn't come, He Nansheng didn't force them, and beckoned Shen to get in the car.

When Shen Jue pulled Shen Rui to Shen Quan's carriage, he saw Shen Quan pointing to the carriage and laughing helplessly.

Shen Jue didn't react for a while, the curtain of the car had been lifted, and Shen Zhu sat inside: "Third brother, why don't you come in?" ”

"Huh?" Shen Jue looked at the carriage and didn't understand why Shen Zhu was here.

Shen Zhu looked at Shen Jue with a smile and said, "What's wrong with Brother Jue?" Tongue bitten by a cat? I want to endorse with the third brother, and you go to Brother Qin and Brother Bao to play. It's hard to be the third brother, I accompany you little sticky teeth all day long."

Shen Jue grinded his teeth and said: "Brother Zhu Jiu, there is a first come and then come in this everything."

Shen Zhu smiled brightly: "Brother Jue is right, Brother Jiu, didn't I come first?" ”

Shen Jue's eyes widened: "Brother Rui and I came here yesterday." ”

Shen Zhu was puzzled: "Yesterday is yesterday, today is today, Brother Jue is sleeping?" ”

Shen Quan was beside him, and when he saw that the two of them were facing each other, he was busy giving Shen Rui a look.

Shen Rui couldn't help laughing, stepped forward and pulled Shen Jue away, and went to Shen Jue's carriage.

When he came into the carriage, Shen Jue screamed: "Woohoo, the five-foot carriage of the third brother has just returned to others, I can't lie down on the road anymore."

Shen Rui rolled his eyes: "I sat all day yesterday, and I didn't see you lying for a quarter of an hour."

Although the carriage was spacious, the carriage was so bumpy, and I felt flickering when I sat on it, and the sound of the carriage was even more noisy.

Shen Jue was still complaining, and he couldn't help laughing out loud as he did it: "Ha Luha, it's so funny, Brother Zhu Jiu still has such a laipi." If you want to get close to the third brother, you can say it, and you also say that you want to endorse it, but the carriage is empty, where are the books to read? ”

Although the two of them are not very close to Shen Zhu, there is one in the team who is about to die and has a black face all day long, which is also disappointing to watch. Shen Zhu has turned around now, and Shen Rui and Shen Jue are both optimistic.

"For the remaining two days, it's just you and my brother. Tell me to sit in the car alone, and I ......can't stand it for a whole day," Shen Jue was saying, when he heard someone outside the carriage: "Brother Rui, Brother Jue......"

Shen Rui picked the curtain, and saw a mother who was proficient in the carriage standing in front of the carriage, looking a little kind, it was Mother Wu, who had been with the Xu family for the past two days.

"How did Mom come here? But where does the aunt have instructions? Shen Jue asked.

Mother Wu said with a smile: "Mrs. sent the old slave over to invite the two little brothers to sit together." ”

When Shen Rui and Shen Jue heard this, they glanced at each other, and then got out of the car and followed Wu's mother.

Shen Jue was afraid of restraint and was quite reluctant, and squeezed his eyebrows at Shen Rui from time to time.

Shen Rui wanted to go to Xu's carriage for a long time, but he was secretly happy when he got this opportunity.

Most of the common cars in the world are unicycles and two-wheeled vehicles, but the carriage Xu rode in was a four-wheeled carriage with a seven-foot-long body and a car as tall as a living room.

For the four-wheeled carriage, Shen Rui's later generations only saw a record in Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creations", "the amount can carry fifty stones, and there are more mules and horses than twelve or ten hangs, and less is also gossip."

Shen Rui thought that there was no four-wheeled carriage in the Ming Dynasty, and he thought that he would get one when he could call the shots in the future. Therefore, when I saw Wu's carriage, I was very surprised, and I wanted to go in and visit it immediately, but I didn't have the opportunity yet.

As soon as the team was almost resting and about to leave, Shen Qin was lying in front of the small window of the carriage and looking around, and saw Shen Rui and Shen Jue getting into Xu's carriage, slightly stunned, and then pursed his lips, yawned, and became more and more excited.

Shen Bao piled a quilt in the corner of the carriage and beckoned Shen Qin to say, "Come here crookedly, this is a problem with choosing a seat!" I want a soup to promote sleep at night, and I will have to go to the capital for many days. ”

Shen Qin's body tilted over and moaned comfortably: "Where is there so much trouble?" After staying up for two days, you will naturally know how to sleep......"

"Squeak", "squeak" wheels, the convoy set off.

In Xu's carriage, Shen Jue only felt that his eyes were not enough, and he said, "Auntie, how can this carriage look like a house?" ”

The five-foot-wide, seven-foot-deep carriage is like a living room, with a Luohan couch behind it, and there are fixed stools on the east and west sides of the carriage, and in the middle of the stool is a folding small square table, and the four pillars of the small square table are stuck on the ground, so that it is fixed.

Shen Rui stroked the carriage lightly, and he was also surprised in his heart. Because the carriages were made of rosewood. Although the carriage is luxurious and tidy, if you look closely, you can see that the carriage is not a short age, not to mention a few decades.

When the Xu family went south by boat, this carriage would not have come from Beijing, but from Suzhou Prefecture.

In such an atmospheric and luxurious carriage, the owner does not think about others except Xu Youzhen, who was in love with the landscape after being dismissed.

Shen Rui gathered the known news of the Xu family in his heart, Xu Youzhen nine daughters, Zhu Zhishan's deceased mother was five, Xu's line was six, Wei's mother was seven, and He Tai's mother was nine. The prodigy who wrote the "melon cutting poem" and died in his teens, I don't know if he is still alive, and his biological mother is a few lines.

Among them, Zhu's mother and Wei's mother married to Suzhou, and Xu's and He's mother married to the capital.

The day before yesterday, when the clan relatives were having a banquet in the clan room, Shen Rui inadvertently heard someone mention it, saying that Shen Luo's fiancée was the niece of the Xu family, and she was also taken by the Xu family to raise her in her early years.

Coupled with the words that He Taizhi said earlier that his sister was in Suzhou, Shen Luo's unmarried wife was most likely the little lady of the He family. Otherwise, a young lady in her teens, who is mainly chaste and quiet, and is waiting to be married in the boudoir, how can she go out with her maternal relatives and elders.

The Xu family is a family of eunuchs, and there are few people who recruit money, and now those who inherit the incense of the Xu family are also heirs and grandchildren.

In the carriage, in addition to Xu, Shen Rui, and Shen Jue, there was also a teenage maid.

Xu Shi happily talked to Shen Jue while instructing the little maid to prepare food.

There are drawers under the stool, which are complete, charcoal stoves, food, and all kinds of gadgets for playing time, such as nine rings, Kong Ming locks and the like.

"This carriage really looks like it was made from a long journey." Shen Jue said with a sigh: "If you take such a carriage to go far away, you don't need to enter the inn, and you won't be afraid to miss the accommodation." ”

Xu shook his head with a smile and said, "It's true that this carriage is going out, but it can't leave the post inn." People are so confused, but the horses that pull the cart can not be ambiguous, they need to prepare the horses, change the reins at least twice a day, take good care of them, and feed enough beans, otherwise they can't pull them. ”

"So much trouble?" Shen Jue said: "That's not as convenient as an ordinary carriage, it turns out that it is not a good envoy." ”

Xu Shi smiled and asked, "Brother Jue didn't notice any other benefits?" ”

"What benefits? Isn't it spacious? Shen Jue was puzzled.

Xu Shi looked at Shen Rui: "Brother Rui knows?" ”

Shen Rui nodded and said, "This carriage is stable, and the carriage doesn't feel bumpy." ”

As he spoke, Shen Rui had already made up his mind that he would definitely order a four-wheeled carriage in the future.

Compared to the unbearable bumps of the two-wheeled carriage, this four-wheeled carriage is really powerful.

As soon as the curiosity about the carriage passed, Shen Jue remembered Tang Jieyuan, whom Shen Rui had mentioned several times, and Zhu Zhishan and several other cousins who left the day before yesterday, and asked, "Auntie, how many days shall we stop in Suzhou?" ”

Xu shook his head and said: "The day is in a hurry, the official ship has been booked over there, and I will go directly to Suzhou Wharf tomorrow afternoon to board the ship, and sail north early the next morning." ”

Shen Jue was surprised: "So rushed? No wonder I wish my cousin that they have to go back one step earlier."

Shen Rui was also stunned when he heard this, but counting the day, it is already November 23, and if he wants to rush to the capital before Chinese New Year's Eve, he really can't delay, otherwise everyone can only spend the New Year on the ship.

The canal itinerary goes north with the river and south with the water. If you go north, it's much faster than by land. However, it is limited to official ships, and when entering and exiting the gate, the delay time is short, and the civilian ships enter Beijing, and this waterway will take two months.

Shen Jue was afraid that he would be disappointed because of Shen Rui's admiration for Tang Jieyuan, so he comforted: "I missed it this time, I'll see you next time." Suzhou is not far from Songjiang, and there is always a time to see it. When the time comes, let's be cheeky and disturb Cousin Zhu and Cousin Wei, can the two of them still blast us out? ”

Shen Rui nodded and said, "Well, then next time I will ask Cousin He to help introduce ......"

The Xu family was on the side, listening to the two brothers of this clan, and said curiously: "Brother Rui admires Tang Xie Yuan very much? ”

"I've admired the name for a long time, and I want to see it." Shen Ruidao.

Five hundred years later, few of you will remember who Emperor Hongzhi was, what was the relationship between Zhengde and Jiajing, but there were a few who had never heard of the "Four Great Talents". The joke of "Tang Bohu points autumn fragrance" is no less well-known than "White Lady Yongzhen Leifeng Tower", "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", which is familiar to everyone.

Xu couldn't help but think deeply and said, "Brother Rui wants to be a talent? ”

Shen Rui shook his head and said, "My nephew doesn't want to be a talent...... The heart is sad, there are many ups and downs in this world, and my nephew still looks forward to being a mediocre person......"
