When he woke up, Shen Kan looked at the sky outside the window, estimated the next hour, and estimated that it would be about five or six o'clock in the morning, and couldn't help but secretly complain.

Unlike his other brothers, who could stay in town in the name of schooling, he would be reprimanded if he came home a little later. But it was too late last night, and he had no confidence in the security of this era, and would rather be scolded than walk alone at night.

Unexpectedly, it was precisely because of this caution that he inadvertently escaped.

I didn't have time to say goodbye to Shen Shi, so I hurriedly put on my coat and walked out, explained a few words to my subordinates, and called someone to hire a boat.

Hurriedly returned to the Shen family, and as soon as he entered the house, the housekeeper Shen An came out of the concierge and said, "Fifth young master, you didn't return yesterday, and the eldest lady wants you to talk."

"Really?" Shen Kan frowned, "Don't talk nonsense, I was invited by the elder brother of the Shen family to be a guest last night, but I couldn't come back because of the inconvenience of traveling late at night." ”

"There's really no nonsense." Shen An looked serious, "Mrs. has sent someone to ask several times, asking if you are back?"

It's over, Shen Kan was shocked, he must have caught up with the ward round last night, otherwise Aunt Jin would definitely help hide it.

"Is the eldest master at home?"

"I went to Fucheng early in the morning, but I wasn't at home."

"That's good, that's good." Shen Kan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "This time I was lucky, it was nothing to be reprimanded by my wife."

"That's it." Shen An also smiled, and squeezed his eyebrows behind his back, "Otherwise, I would have sent a little servant to look for you a long time ago, so I would have asked you to invite the son of the Ye family to come over and testify and say a few good words." ”

"Lao An has yours." Shen Kan smiled and took out from his sleeve the gift that Jin Feng gave him last night, one or two ingots of silver nude, a total of six, one piece in a sachet.

"See?" Shen Kan checked the sachet, "The elders are rewarded, it's not good to divide you, go back and ask Aunt Jin to give you five dollars of broken silver." ”

"Oops! In the end, the fifth young master is compassionate, and he is worthy of being a person who does great things. Shen An smiled more and more, stretched out his thumb, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

Saying goodbye to Shen An, Shen Kan ran back to his yard first, and Aunt Jin was anxiously waiting for him, and couldn't help complaining.

Cai Dong gave him a wash of water and found clean clothes, Shen Kan quickly packed up and hurriedly walked towards the upper room.

Passing by the Zhengluo of Shen Han and his wife, Shen Kan walked cautiously against the wall. When I arrived at the courtyard of the big house, I entered through the moon gate on the side, and there was a little girl standing under the porch, who slowly paced back and forth under the porch with his hands behind his back.

The little girl grinned at him, and her face was teasing.

Shen Kan can't go if he doesn't go, the weather is cold and he hasn't eaten, and he is frozen when he stands still.

In the room, the eldest lady Zhou wore a pair of tortoiseshell reading glasses, held a book in her hand, heard laughter, looked up and saw someone dangling outside the window, so she asked, "Is it the fifth child outside?"

Shen Kan preemptively said: "Yes!" The child was about to ask the eldest sister for a few words. ”

"Don't pretend, get in here, I have something to ask you."

"Hey." Shen Kan grimaced at the little girl, opened the curtain with one hand with a smile, stepped in, and then stood honestly against the wallboard.

"Hmph." Zhou took off his glasses, "Let me ask you, where did you fool around last night?" Don't hide a word. ”

"There's absolutely no fooling around." Shen Kan looked guilty, "It was the elder brother of the Ye family who called me over to ask about the news of Jinling and his party and the child's opinions." ”

Zhou said with a smile: "Heh! Look at you are busy now, I can't even see each other, I'm about to catch up with your fourth uncle, it seems that this can no longer be restrained to you in the future, and you should be set up a separate door. ”

"Wronged." Shen Kan smiled bitterly, "Didn't I just come back from Jinling, a bunch of personnel, and caught up with the invitation of the Ye family's elder brothers, so I couldn't help but be negligent for a while, and forgot to come over to say hello to your old man." I would like to read in the study all day long, but my family won't let me. ”

Zhou stretched out a finger, nodded at him, and chuckled, "Child, come here." You shouldn't lie to anyone you lie to me, and if it's in front of the old man, do you dare to say that?"

"I'm not lying." Shen Kan walked over in a few steps, "I do have to read a book for an hour every day now." ”

"You're also a book that I grew up seeing, and I can read it for half an hour?" Zhou's face sank, "Where did you go last night?"

"I'm in Brother Ye's house in the town, and I swear to God." Shen Kan raised his palm.

"You still dare to gamble?" Zhou sneered again and again, "I can't help you, if you deal with it when you are small, I will have a rhetoric." When your master comes back, you can talk to him again, many people have said what you have done recently, and you run to Flower Street and Willow Lane every day. If it's not the eldest lady who scares you, this is a big mistake that will be punished at least and expelled from the door at worst. ”

Shen Kan was taken aback and said, "How can there be such a thing? Call those people in, and I'm going to confront them. ”

"And what did you do last night?"

"It's just chatting with the two brothers of the Ye family, they drink, and I drink tea."

"For no reason, the two of them just asked you to go to chat in the middle of the night with a hairy child?"

"Wang Ba looks at the mung beans and pleases each other."

“····”

At this moment, the old mother, the housekeeper of the inner house, walked in and said, "The lady of the county master's family has sent someone to invite the lady over for tea."

Zhou said, "I see."

The old mother turned around, and Shen Kan smiled silently at Zhou, but did not speak.

This made Zhou laugh and scolded: "Bastard, you are saying in your heart that I scolded you to chat, and I can also go to chat, right?" You see, I'm doing a decent deal. ”

Shen Kan sighed and said, "Your old man is so strict, I'm guilty of not making a sound."

"Alright, alright." Zhou waved his hand, "Go out, don't ramble here, I don't have time to talk to you about this." By the way, I have something to ask you in the evening. ”

"Got it." Shen Kan stuck out his tongue and took this opportunity to turn around and slip away.

As soon as he came out, he saw Shen An trotting over and shouted, "Fifth young master, the aunt of the Ke family ordered the son of the Ke family to come to see the second wife, and the person is in the teahouse."

"Who is the aunt and wife of the Ke family?" Shen Kan frowned and asked.

"The Ke family in Liuxu Village! The second wife's sister-in-law. Shen An was a little strange.

"Oh, I remember." Shen Kan looked suddenly realized, "You go in and report it, I'll accompany you." ”

"Okay." Shen An didn't doubt that he had him, and ran in quickly.

"With so many relatives, who remembers?" Shen Kan seemed to complain and turned to leave.

In the inner house, Gan, who was depressed because of her husband, heard that the maid reported that her relatives were coming, and her spirits were greatly lifted, and she immediately ordered someone to invite people into the inner hall to meet each other.

The maid spoke, Shen An trotted all the way, and Shen Kan invited the son of the Ke family to enter.

led the guests to Zhengluo first, Shen Kan went in to show his grandmother, and after permission, he led people to the two-bedroom courtyard.

"Aunt is above, nephew Covindon is here."

Seeing that the son of the Ke family said that he was going to bow to the ground, Shen Kan quickly grabbed him.

Gan also said: "Don't be polite, nephew, sit down."

"Yes." The son of the Ke family sat down slowly.

Seeing this, Shen Kan said, "The child has retired."

"You also sit down, the fifth child, the family doesn't need to avoid." Gan laughed.

It turned out that Shen Kan went to Jinling to pick up her and his wife, and served meticulously before and after the saddle along the way, Gan knew that this family was not a child, but he was very good at dealing with people, and he was the confidant of the fourth brother Shen Jiaji, and he also liked Shen Kan's affinity and stability, so he had already intended to be encircled.

The courtyard of the deep house is two heavens, and the women in the inner house still have good words and give a certain amount of respect to the housekeeper, not to mention the nephews like Shen Kan, who doesn't use people?

Since it was the order of the elders, it was inconvenient for Shen Kan to refuse, so he also sat down at the moment.

The maid brought the tea, and the son of the Ke family, Si Swenwen, picked it up, first gave way to the Gan family, and then signaled to Shen Kan, Shen Kan nodded with a smile, and each took a sip.

After the tea, Gan Shi looked at him, his eyes were a little red unconsciously, and he asked softly, "Is Lingzun Lingtang safe?"

The son of the Ke family hurriedly replied: "Aunt Hongfu, both parents are safe." Today, the special nephew came to ask for his aunt's peace. ”

"Okay." Gan's expression was full of emotion, "I haven't seen you for many years, I want to think about it day and night, and I hope to see each other when I leave." How old is my nephew when he is born today? Have you ever had a Zhen?"

"My little nephew is 17 years old this year, and he was lucky enough to go to school last year." The son of the Ke family looked modest.

Another showman? Shen Kan shook his head in his heart, why are there a group of monsters around him?

庠生 is a college student who has won the show, 庠 is the meaning of the school, the Ming Dynasty called the Xiucai who entered the county school school as Yi Xusheng or the county Xusheng, or called Maocai. When Xiucai submitted a document to the government, he generally referred to himself as a student or a student.

The Xiucai of this era is more expensive and rarer than the college students of later generations, and winning the Xiucai means that the people of the world will be a master for a lifetime, and sure enough, the eyes of Gan and the women in the house lit up instantly.
