"You said the day before yesterday that Ye Guyu was stingy, I still don't believe it, who knows that he is ridiculously stingy! Today I kindly took my friend to his house to look for him, and I didn't want the bastard to mistakenly think that I had brought someone to ask for his wine and food, so he hid at home and told someone to reply that he was not at home. ”

Shen Shi in the room suddenly broke out, obviously angry with Ye Guyu, "Everyone has seen through it, and he wants to sit and wait, he has no choice, Fang changed his words and said that he was drunk and fell asleep." It's so unseemly, it's just out of the world, I was angry with him at the time, I scolded him, and I was persuaded by my friends, you say it's hateful?"

"Ye Guyu?"

Ye Xiuru and Shen Peiwen frowned at the same time, obviously both of them knew the story of the 'brother-in-law'.

Bang! There was a sound in the house, Shen Kan hurriedly went over to look, it turned out that Shen Shi finished speaking in one breath, and while he was in a good mood, he fell down on the kang and fell asleep in a blink of an eye.

Looking back, Shen Peiwei looked displeased, he went out and called a few servants to come in and carried people out.

Shen Peiwen complained to him: "You don't know that Ye Guyu has been a shallow urinator since he was a child, although he is a student, he has to associate with a group of people who are roosters and dogs, and he should have been stopped last time."

Shen Kan smiled bitterly again, how did he know what kind of person Ye Guyu was? I couldn't help but be a little angry in my heart, why did Shen Shi complain about him?

Fortunately, she is a person in two lives, and she doesn't take a little complaint to heart, in the final analysis, Shen Shi is her own brother of her mother.

The maid Ru'er said, "What are you afraid of him?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of him." Shen Peiwen shook his head slightly, as if he was a little worried, "But he is dealing with villains, I'm afraid he can't stand the bewitchment of people with intentions, and he is resentful." ”

Shen Kan became vigilant in his heart, because he thought of Wang Laosan.

Ye Xiuru said: "I also know him, the most uncompetitive in the clan, my mother often says that poor people must have something to hate."

Shen Kan didn't say anything, Shen Peiwen and Ye Xiuru both stood in their own positions, and this matter made it clear that Shen Shi was at fault first, just relying on his talent status, thinking that he was superior.

I want people to kindly invite you to dinner, but you call irrelevant friends, just eat and drink without thanks, and run to eat and drink again, is Ye Guyu born to owe you?

It's human nature to be reluctant to receive, and in turn you still scold? What is this?

Of course, if Ye Guyu takes a little revenge for this in the future, it will be harmless, Shen Kan thinks it is normal, but the eldest sister said that Ye Guyu has a small amount of energy since he was a child, and the people around him are all villains, so he has to pay attention.

After Wang Laosan's incident, Shen Kan realized that people's hearts are unpredictable, especially the ancients attached the most importance to reputation and face, even if it is left in modern times, this feud can be regarded as concluded.

Shen Kan, who was uncomfortable, deliberately did not answer, and seeing that the atmosphere was cold, Ye Xiuru hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Are you all ready for the poetry riddle?"

Shen Peiwei said with a smile: "Although the old lady is old, she is interested, so I asked me to think of a few early this morning, and I can't think of it now."

"You don't have to be too particular, just keep it simple." Shen Peiwen shifted his attention.

Ye Xiuru disagreed: "What's the fun if the poetry riddle is not deeper?" As long as the shades are mixed, the elegance and vulgarity are appreciated. ”

Shen Kan didn't care about guessing the lantern riddles, and didn't forget to ask Shen Peiwei before leaving: "What did the second sister call me for?"

"That's right." Shen Peiwei stretched out her hand to call him closer, and said, "Shangyuan has finished guessing the lantern riddle, we plan to go to Suzhou City at night to walk the Three Bridges, and then we have to bother you to escort all the way."

"Take the three bridges?" Shen Kan didn't understand, and then suddenly said, "Isn't it a hundred diseases?"

"Hmm." Shen Peiwei nodded, and at the same time looked expectant.

The custom of walking a hundred diseases, Shen Kan first read the huge book that is no less than the Dream of Red Mansions, the book is about the customs of Shandong, and later after investigation, it is probably from Suzhou.

Since the Song Dynasty, Suzhou is a wonderful place, and everything can show a kind of elegance and romance after the interpretation of Suzhou people, so the Lantern Festival in addition to watching lanterns and guessing riddles, watching opera juggling, also gave birth to a special custom, women walk the three bridges, that is, go to all kinds of diseases.

There are relevant records in the local county chronicles that "Shangyuan, women walk through the three bridges, which is said to be free from all diseases". Crossing the bridge and crossing the river was a symbol of "crossing the misfortune" in the eyes of the ancients.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, women from the south go to the city in groups to cross the three bridges, one to survive the many disasters of the year, to ensure that there is no disease and no disasters throughout the year, and the other is the perfect excuse to ask the permission of the elders to go out and see the excitement.

What a difficult task is it to protect a group of girls who are going out at night? Shen Kan agreed with a headache, just because there were too many women going out at that time, and the government had a headache even more than him, and the public security in Suzhou in this era was not bad, otherwise there would be some cases every year, so who would dare to go out and get sick?

The reason why he happily agreed was because he knew who to find, and naturally there was the Sun family with Jinyiwei.

After he left, Shen Peiwen realized that he shouldn't blindly complain about him, and he was afraid that he would feel guilty when he left, and he couldn't help but secretly regret sitting there.

At this time, Shen Peiwei said: "It's not that I am upset with the fifth brother, after the fourth uncle went out, he has been working alone in the family these days, and there is nothing wrong with everything we do, and there is nothing wrong with running before and after." After all, he lacks skills, and there are always times when he is negligent. ”

This was undoubtedly said very tactfully, but Shen Peiwen in front of Ye Xiuru, naturally he couldn't count Shen Shi's badness, so he just nodded lightly, which was considered to be agreed.

Ye Xiuru said: "Seeing the fifth brother today, it is really different from the past, and he is much more sensible, I didn't believe the words of my brothers before, I heard that he wants to work hard, I don't know what books he has been reading recently?"

"I know." Ru'er raised her hand, "The fifth young master asked someone to go to the Guangdong Commercial Bank and ask what the Portuguese were, and also bought a lot of copper and iron utensils, bottles and cans, and played with these things every day." ”

"How do you know?" Shen Peiwen was very strange.

Ru'er smiled: "Don't I have an uncle in Yaxing, so he asked me, and the bottles and cans were told to me by Caidong."

"Portuguese?" Ye Xiuru was puzzled, "Could it be that he plans to go out to travel?"

"Possibly." Shen Peiwei suddenly said, "No wonder he wants to make money by drawing pictures of the Gu family's new house, speaking of which, staying at home really wronged him." ”

Ye Xiuru asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Don't look at him as unwilling to be a scholar, because what he wants to do is to be an all-rounder." Shen Peiwei showed a hint of admiration, "Every time I talk to him in the past few days, the more I find that he is not good, not only familiar with current affairs, but also astronomy, geopolitics, military politics, art of war, calendar, style, craftsmen, especially arithmetic and geography, but because he is still young, he has no experience." ”

Ye Xiuru and Shen Peiwen couldn't close their mouths in surprise, no one expected that Shen Peiwei would have such a high opinion of Shen Kan, and hurriedly asked for details.

Shen Peiwei explained: "I have lived in Jinling for a long time, and there are many young ladies from the six families in Nanjing, so I naturally know more about the affairs, although I don't know much. In the past few days, every time I talk to him, I can't help but talk about mountains, rivers, and overseas countries, and I find that he knows everything. For example, the small country of the Ryukyus, I said that it is thousands of miles away in a foreign land, and he casually corrected that it is not far away, it has not come far from Suzhou to Dezhou, it is opposite Fuzhou, and it belongs to the same continental shelf; Another example is some arithmetic problems in the boudoir, he can always answer them with a little thought, incredible, and many things in addition to the insights of many things make me also have a refreshing perception, such as the sea ban, he always shakes his head and sighs. By the way, he told me the story of the Three Treasures Eunuch who went to the South Seas, and commented that he was an outstanding navigator in human history. It's a pity that every time he talks, he stops abruptly, as if he doesn't want me to notice his all-rounder, Hehe!"

As she spoke, Shen Peiwei laughed, looking proud, as if she had discovered some amazing secret.

She said it unintentionally, but Shen Peiwen couldn't help but look at Ye Xiuru face to face, and she was suspicious of it, but Shen Kan's existing image was unconsciously renewed.

Here Shen Kan was at a loss to know that his details were noticed by someone with a heart so quickly, of course, he never thought of deliberately hiding himself, such as Ryukyu arithmetic Zheng He, etc., took it for granted that it was not a big deal, because there were answers in the books of this era, and he was willing to dabble in it.

It is rare that Shen Peiwei is willing to talk about miscellaneous matters in ancient times, it can be said that it is difficult to find a bosom friend, and it is really uncomfortable to think that a modern person can travel alone and can't speak to people with a stomach of things.

In ancient times, there were many people who had the talent of the heavens and latitudes, the strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the army, and the unpredictable opportunities of ghosts and gods, and the sages of the Spring and Autumn Period alone grabbed a lot of them, Guiguzi, Sun Tzu, Confucius, Lao Tzu and so on.

In contrast, Shen Kan doesn't think that there is anything great about his own thing, except for the identity of the traverser, what can't be said to people?

In fact, even if you tell people that you have natural talent, because you come from the next generation, then someone has to believe it!

People are self-aware, and it is useless to have some messy theories.
