Just as Shen Rui mentioned Yang Tinghe with the eldest master, he didn't know if the eldest master had a relationship with Yang Tinghe, but he met the future top scholar, Yang Tinghe's son Yang Shen.
In addition to leaving his name as the top scholar in history, Yang Shen also has many popular poems that have been passed down in later generations. The most famous is "Linjiang Xian" which begins with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes. The right and wrong, success and failure turn empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.
The white-haired fisherman and woodcutter are on the river bank, and they are used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet each other, and many things in ancient and modern times are all laughing at.
However, at this time, Yang Shen was just a thirteen-year-old boy.
Although he was from Sichuan, he was born in the capital. He had a talent before. He entered Chunshan Academy at the age of nine. He was classmates with Mao Chi for two years and had a good relationship with each other. He lost his mother in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, which was a big blow to him.
.Yang Chun loved this grandson, so he retired and returned home, wanting to return to his hometown to teach his grandson. Unexpectedly, on the way back home, Yang Chun's wife died of illness.
Yang Shen followed his uncle Yang Tingyi back to his hometown to observe the system, and now he has returned to the capital after the system is under control.
But this time, although Yang Shen returned to Chunshan Academy, he was not in Class 5. He passed the college entrance examination in his hometown in Sichuan last year and is now a scholar. Just because he is young, his elders think he should continue to study, so this year's provincial examination
He did not ask him to end up, but asked him to go to Beijing with his uncle Yang Tingyi.
Yang Tingyi was a second-class Jinshi in the 12th year of Hongzhi. He was in the same year as Shen Ying. After passing the list, he caught up with his mother's mourning. Therefore, he did not take the Commonwealth Examination and did not select an official.
Yang Shen is not tall, but he is handsome and full of books. He is a gentle boy.
When he heard that he returned to the academy, Mao Chi took Shen Rui to Class B.
Yang Shen came out.
One is an old friend and the other is a new friend. Mao Chi first introduced the two.
For Shen Rui, this was a real surprise.
He had only thought about asking the master to make friends with Yang Tinghe, but he never thought of Yang Shen.
After inquiring about Yang Tinghe's family, he thought Yang Shen would stay in Sichuan and perform his filial piety on behalf of his father. He waited for the provincial examination before returning to Beijing. Unexpectedly, he would come back now.
After hearing Shen Rui's identity, Yang Shen was quite friendly, but he could see through his words that he was not valued as "son of the Shangshu", but as "the younger brother of the top scholar", he was about Shen Du, the ancestor of the Shen family.
Both the bachelor's degree and the current Shen Li highly praised it.
Mao Chi said: "I saw the end of the month. When the holiday is over, I will serve as a partner with Brother Shen to welcome you."
Yang Shen also valued his friends very much at this age. He was a lively person in his early years, but he fell silent in the past two years due to the blow of losing his mother.
Hearing Mao Chi say this, he nodded in agreement.
However, he was a little surprised that Shen Rui was so late to enroll in school. He asked Mao Chi privately. Mao Chi told him about Shen Rui's identity as the heir and mentioned Shen Rui's loss of his mother. Yang Shen couldn't help but feel sick and pity for each other.
On November 1st, it’s the holiday of Chunshan Academy.
Mao Chi and Shen Rui were the host, and they booked a table in a restaurant on Chengxian Street to welcome Yang Shen. In addition to Yang Shen, the host and guest, they also invited Shen Quan and He Taizhi to be accompanied by guests.
Yang Tinghe and He Xueshi were in the same year. They were both Jinshi in the 14th year of Chenghua. The two families also had contacts, so He Taizhi and Yang Shen also knew each other.
As for Shen Quan, Shen Ying and Yang Tingyi are in the same year, and they can also tell the origin.
These days, Shen Rui has been influenced by the eyes and learned some of the official customs of the Ming Dynasty, that is, he wants to make relationships, "membersmen", "same year", and "schoolmen" are forming a big network. At the same time, in addition to in-laws, he is not only in the world. As long as you have the same surname, you can also be "connected to the whole country".
The Shen family in Songjiang comes from the Shen family in Wuxing. Now there are people in Wuxing who have become officials, and they are connected to the second wife of the Shen family. However, this is not someone who is involved in anyone, but when it comes to ancestors, they can indeed be discussed.
It was the first time Chen Quan saw Yang Shen, but he didn't feel unfamiliar.
After a meal, he looked at Yang Shen, then looked at Shen Rui and said, "Brother Yang Shi and Brother Rui look like twin brothers... Although they don't look similar, their conversation seems to be..."
Mao Chi looked at the two of them and suddenly realized, "No wonder he felt close to each other when he saw Brother Chen, and it was indeed because of this..."
He Taizhi snorted: "It's true that everyone is adult-like."
Shen Rui just smiled slightly. He is the soul in the shell, the adult, the "pseudo" teenager was old; Yang Shen was not, he was indeed more serious than the teenager.
Yang Shen looked at Shen Rui, who was reserved and unhappy with a smile on his face, but he felt sad.
He was like Mao Chi, Chen Quan and others, living happily and freely, but after losing his mother, the sky was halfway through the bed.
Now in that family, there is a father, stepmother, a concubine's mother, and a concubine's younger brother. If he doesn't grow up, how can he protect himself and his sister?
Thinking of this, he glanced at Shen Rui and then at He Taizhi.
The Yang family is different from others. His parents are the ones they have made, and he has had a marriage contract at the age of one year. Although his sister is only nine years old, before he entered Beijing, he had already discussed his sister's marriage with his grandfather. Yes Both grandparents and grandchildren were unable to make up their minds when they married their sister to the capital or to marry back to Sichuan.
If you marry into the middle of the capital, the Yang family will always return home. If you marry back to Sichuan, if your father and brother have been officials in the capital, they will be too far away.
Everyone was eating and drinking, and they were similar in age. When they caught up with the lectures in the academy, they got together, and they became more and more familiar with each other.
Shen Rui is a good friend. Yang Shen is a young talented man and is well-read. He is a rare person with a temper. However, his relationship is sincere. The two people have the meaning of "coming from behind", which is beyond the relationship between Yang Shen and Mao Chi. friendship.
Although Mao Chi complained to Shen Rui behind his back, he was not a petty person and would not care about these things. It was just that he became more and more diligent in studying. Shen Rui's diligence in studying was in his eyes. It is conceivable that when the boy's test was next year , Shen Rui will continue to take the county examination, the government examination, and the college examination.
Yang Shen is talented and Shen Rui is not bad. If he falls behind too much, he will only be left behind by his friends.
On this side, Shen Rui and Yang Shen were intimate, and the master there was no longer a look of attention to Yang Ting and the other person.
With Li Dongyang accepting Yang Shen as a student, the master made the idea and asked Shi Xueshi He as a matchmaker, intending to hire Yang Ting and his eldest daughter Yang Tian as their wife for Shen Rui.
Before this, Xu had already met Yang Tian when he was going out to socialize.
A beautiful woman appeared in Shu. Although Yang Tian was only nine years old, she was already a little beauty, no less than a lady from Jiangnan.
Not to mention that Xu was entrusted by the master, he was very careful about the Yang family's daughters. Even the young Xu family also liked Yang Tian quite a lot. It was because Yang Tian had lost his biological mother and was afraid that he would not have any teachings. He Tai was young, I didn't expect the marriage.
When Xiao Xu heard that his sister had chosen Yang Tian for Shen Rui, he felt a little sad.
The reason why the master made a decision so quickly was not only because of Shen Rui's previous words, but also because of Li Dongyang.
Among the three cabinet masters, Li Dongyang acted the most smoothly, and even he didn't look moved, which shows that Shen Rui's eyes were correct. In addition, Li Dongyang accepted Yang Shen as a student and married the Yang family at this time. In people's eyes, it also means being close to the Li School. It is to dilute the traces of the Xie School and kill both of them.
Yang Tinghe was quite surprised and puzzled by the Shen family's proposal.
It is not popular for officials and families in Beijing to marry children, and children are difficult to raise, and the etiquette and law are strict. If the other party makes mistakes, wouldn’t it delay the children?
Those who have difficulty having children like the Shen family and choose their heir to be popular in Chengyou will probably get married early. Shen Rui and Yang Tian were four years apart. By the time Yang Tian was in the same age as the father, Shen Rui was already nineteen years old.
He Xueshi said: "What the eldest brother in the inner world cares about is Brother Rui's studies. Although Brother Rui is in Bo'an's name, Bo'an is in poor health and will return home in the beginning of next spring... Brother Rui is not good at worshiping others, The eldest brother can only find a father-in-law for him to teach him. After all, he is a kind father-in-law..."
Yang Tinghe has never met Shen Rui, but he knows that the Shen family is a bachelor of Shen Du. Master Shen and the late Grandpa are both nine ministers. When it comes to family background, they are several taller than the Yang family, which can make people go to the Yang family. Proposing marriage was a little flattered.
You should know that Yang Tinghe's ancestors were son-in-law, grandfather and great-grandfather were all white, and grandfathers were tribute scholars, so that the family became scholars. He first passed the Jinshi with his father, and then his father passed the Jinshi, and his father became an official, and then his son became an official. He is a family member of the officialdom.
However, even though he was flattered, Yang Tinghe did not agree at all.
No matter how honest and honest Mr. Shen’s reputation is, how powerful the Xu family is, Shen Rui is his heir, not his biological son. Yang Tinghe also wants to "see it as a truth" for Shen Rui's character.
When two families get married, this "look at each other" is also a good idea.
When Mr. He sent a message back to the Shen family, the master and Xu naturally had no objection.
When Shen Rui came back from school and was called to the main room, he received the news.
Shen Rui was not surprised that the Chen and Yang families got married. The last method of alliance in the officialdom was marriage. But he didn't expect that he originally thought it would be Sister Yu's brother to Yang Shen.
After all, he is Chengsi's son and most of them have to get married early, and his age is much different from that of the Yang family's daughter.
Hearing that he would go to the Yang family to have a banquet after two days, Shen Rui felt thrust in his heart.
He wanted to borrow the light of the Yang family so that the Shen family would not capsize during the Zhengde period, but he did not intend to completely get on the Yang family's ship.
Although Yang Tinghe was the chief assistant of two dynasties, his fate was not good and his later years were miserable.
However, since this marriage has been sent by someone, it is not Shen Rui's turn to say anything when it comes to "looking at each other"...
Nanjing, Qiao's House.
Chen Zhou and his party arrived in Nanjing. Because Mr. Qiao San served in Nanjing for many years and had not seen each other for several years, he had to stay for a few days to reunite his flesh and blood.
Mr. Qiao San mentioned Chen Yan's incident to his brother-in-law because he was thinking about the marriage of his eldest daughter.
Here in Chenzhou, because the master of the Zongfang once said good things, he had no disgust towards Chen Yan: "It has been decades since the affairs of his ancestors, but no one will care about it. However, because my grandfather had a lasting fate in his early years. This branch is not allowed to return to the clan, and we as juniors are not easy to disobey... If my brother-in-law doesn't choose family background and only depends on character, just make a decision..."
Mr. Qiao San himself is not of high rank, and his eldest daughter is born in a gangster. Whether in Jiangnan or in the capital, it is difficult for a gangster daughter to find her. After hesitating, he values Chen Yan's character, and there is nothing in Chenzhou's dialect. In order to object, I decided to decide on this marriage.
After seeing his cheap nephew Chen Jue, Mrs. Qiao San thought he was cheerful and had a good appearance, and was stronger than Chen Luo back then, so she discussed with Mr. Qiao San in private and wanted to kiss him.
Master Qiao San said: "Don't humiliate yourself. When the old lady spoke, she was rejected by her sister. Why bother asking for it?..."
Mrs. Qiao San thought about her sister-in-law's temper and nature. She sighed and then she lost her heart...
