In February and March, the capital city is coming, and the cold spring comes, making people hope that the weather will warm up soon; after April, the capital city will become hot as if it is getting hot.
Spring in the capital is short, and it seems that from the cold winter, it will suddenly reach summer without excessive.
When it comes to Dragon Boat Festival, it is already extremely hot.
There is a large ice cellar in Shangshu Mansion, which stores ice every year. However, because the old mansion is young and the young, they don’t use much ice. In the past few years, they only store half of the cellar every year, but they are not fully stored. In recent years, they have added more. Shen Rui and Chen Jue brothers, the young man was very strong in firepower and was most afraid of the heat. He used too much ice to start storing the cellar.
There were two ice basins in Shen Rui's study, and the room was cool and there was no heat at all. It was just fine at home, but I suffered from it in the palace. No matter how thin and breathable the clothes I wore, I was sweating profusely in half a day. The taste inside is even more "fragrant", making people want to lose their nose.
Shen Rui picked up important things to listen to when studying at home and was studying at home for the exam.
When he could not go out, Shen Rui did not leave the house, and stabilized the Four Books and Five Classics, but memorized the melons and ripened them. At other times, Shen Rui did not focus on writing time essays, but recited various collections of time essays by famous masters. I put in some old papers in the provincial examination, just treating them as mock questions.
Although Wang Shouren, Yang Tinghe and Chen Li were all guiding Shen Rui’s article, the three of them were all officials and were busy with time. Shen Rui went to the family every five days, and each person asked for advice every month. Back, one to two hours each time.
These three are all high-level talents, and their level is much higher than that of professors in the public school. Shen Rui's monthly exam results have been ranked first in the public school, but in front of the three major talents, his articles have already been Many circles were drawn and many shortcomings were pointed out.
From rhetoric, to comparison, to quotation, three people began to give guidance to Shen Rui's details.
Candidates who are qualified to take the provincial examination are all the best among students. If they don’t have a few tricks, it’s easy to stand out from it? Speaking of the ratio of the number of candidates to the number of admitted candidates, the proportion of the provincial examination is much lower than that of the general examination. The competition will be even more tragic, otherwise there would be no such thing as "Jin Juren and Yin Jinshi".
Shen Rui has already trained and no longer feels ashamed of his literary talent.
If you have a shortcoming and a strength, you will be self-abuse by comparing your literary talent with the talents of several top scholars.
After all, it was obtained from the examination-oriented education in later generations. It only took one subject of Chinese and as long as you learned it, it was not difficult for Shen Rui.
Wang Shouren and Yang Ting and a few were also amazed at Shen Rui's progress when they were surprised by his honor and disgrace. That is, those who know the truth, came little by little as Shen Rui's articles, and changed to others. , he could be blinded by his current Shi Wen.
Since Shen Rui learned, he had no intention of taking care of him. Yang Tinghe and Chen Li both looked up to him because of this reason, thinking that he had hope for his current academic performance, and praised him in front of his family.
While Yang Shen was happy for Shen Rui, he couldn't help but think that he regretted that he had returned to Beijing too early. If he had stayed in Sichuan two years ago, would he have ended up?
Kobayashi was so envious that he was ready to try, eager to try, begging his father, wanting to return to his hometown to participate in the boy exam next year.
Chen Li saw that his son was ambitious and only had joy. He was the boy who was a teenager back then. Kobayashi was already thirteen and fourteen next year. Not to mention that he was the clan brother Shen Rui, he was already born at this time. member.
However, Xie directly opposed: "If you can't travel thousands of miles apart, how can you play? Even if you can hold on, Nanzhili's literary style is so prosperous, and even many elderly scholars cannot win. Study hard and wait until you are twenty years old. , Directly in the rural examination in Beijing, the boy’s examination is nothing…”
When Kobayashi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "I'm going to wait until twenty? There are still six years left, mom, that's so late.
Chen Li looked at his wife unexpectedly. His wife is good at everything, but she is very worried about her son. She has a particularly high expectation for her eldest son. Although she didn't say anything in front of others, when she whispered in the middle of the night, Xie also said her expectations for her son, hoping that her son would be. Energy-efficient grandfather and father are ranked among the top three. Fortunately, Kobayashi is sensible and likes to read, otherwise he would have been tired of books by force like this.
When Shen Rui went to the boy exam, Xie also mentioned that his eldest son would return to Songjiang to prepare for the exam as soon as possible. How did he change his words now?
Seeing her husband's puzzled expression, Xie said a little uncomfortable: "Although fame is the most important, people are more important... Lin Ge'er is still young, and with the lessons of Chen Jue, I'm not relieved that he left me... ”
This is frightened by the sorrow of Chen Jue.
Thinking of Chen Jue, Chen Li couldn't help but think of the clan room, frowned, and said, "The Shenjiao suit is full, I'm about to return to Beijing. I want to see if he still has the face to enter the gate of the Shangshu Mansion. Everyone also said that It's just a shameful relationship. Although it's called a clan member, it's all out of the way, and there's really no incense..."
Xie sighed, "This is really embarrassing. A few days ago, someone talked to me... But he didn't talk about the master and the wife there, but he talked about the second wife in a wrong way... ”
Chen Li snorted coldly: "Next time someone is so uninterested, you spit on her in person."
Xie has been married into the Shen family for more than ten years, and he has known that the clan members that her husband valued the most is the second one in the capital. Although he is clearly alienated, he is actually the one who cares about the movements of the Shangshu Mansion the most. In addition to Shen, he is the one who pays the most attention to the movements of the Shangshu Mansion. In addition to taking care of him in his early years, the Cang couple also took care of him in the Shangshu Mansion because of Shen Rui, the son of his kindness.
In the early years, Xie had some small conspiracies in his heart. As he grew older and thought more, he could also be sympathetic to her husband's mood and became more sincere to Shen Rui. Now she hopes that Shen Rui will stand up earlier. Support the door of the Shangshu Mansion and help each other with your own...
Looking at the quiet and deserted alley in front of him, Shen Rui stopped at the sound of silk and bamboo coming from his ears. He turned around and looked at Wang Shouren with a strange face.
Wang Shouren has already grown his beard, but he still has a handsome face, but is glamorous and restrained, no longer as eye-catching as before. He doesn't like gorgeousness all day long. When he doesn't wear official uniforms, he is often a half-new Confucian shirt. Although today he is also But the Confucian shirt was replaced with a new one, holding a folding fan in his hand, and a jade pendant that was immediately named after the marquis, looking like a gentle and elegant young man from a noble family.
Shen Rui was confused and said, "Teacher, isn't this good? Even if my cousin can't serve the teacher, he shouldn't find a place... let alone bring me here, is it for me to hide it or not? ?”
Wang Shouren was stunned at first, then laughed and cried, and hit Shen Rui hard and said, "What do you think of a guy? I think where is this place?"
Shen Rui looked around and saw a door not far away half-covered. At the door was a young and charming girl, looking at this side as if she was smiling.
"Isn't this really that?" Shen Rui whispered: "I thought the teacher was rising and took me out to see the world..."
It was not his fault for being confused. Wang Shouren sent someone to call him. The two teachers and students, one of the servants, did not bring him. The coachman he had brought before only stopped at the entrance of the alley and asked him to come and pick him up after two hours.
No matter how you look at it, this behavior is a bit sneaky.
Not to mention that it is Nancheng. When I hear this miserable sound, there are always mixed things here. Seeing that the house at the end of the street is like a half-closed door, isn't this one?
Although Shen Rui was a little awkward, he was also curious in his heart. He thought of Xiao He and tried to dissuade him, and did not want to make a big joke.
Shen Ruiyou was worried, Wang Shouren was already knocking on the door with a smile.
With a creak, the door opened, revealing a small head, and a fifteen- or six-year-old man in green clothes came out, and he said in confusion: "These two masters are..."
Wang Shouren took out the post from his sleeve and handed it over and said, "I am your old friend. I have made an appointment to come here today. You can just go in and spread it..."
Seeing that he was dressed well, the servant didn't delay and went in to report.
"Teacher, who is the uncle Shi?" Shen Rui whispered in a low voice with curiosity.
Although Wang Shouren left Beijing twice in the past few years in the past, and only spent more than a year in the capital, he often brought Shen Rui, a student, with him when he went out for social activities during the New Year holiday. Several friends and fellow villagers were together.
, Shen Ruiduo has seen it, but I don’t know who lives here.
"Who is it? Anyway, you will be honest with the uncle..." Wang Shouren whispered.
Before he finished speaking, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps from the door, and then the door opened and a scholar came out.
"Senior brother is here, it's really a distinguished guest. I've been waiting for a while..." The person who came is only in his twenties, not tall and slightly thin. When he saw Wang Shouren, he said intimately.
Wang Shouren said: "I am about to leave the capital. I thought I haven't seen Qiyan for a long time, so I asked someone to pass on the message. Will it make you embarrassed?"
The visitor smiled and shook his head and said, "What a dilemma? Even if my senior brother doesn't call me, I will come out to rest for one day or two days every month..."
Shen Rui was beside him, but he was stunned. The person in front of him was actually an old friend.
I heard Wang Shouren say, "This is my unscrupulous first disciple, Shen Rui, whose name is Hengyun. I brought it here today and let my junior brother meet you. You can call him Rui Geerer or Hengyun..."
Here, he ordered Shen Rui to say, "I haven't come forward yet to meet Master Liu..."
The visitor had already seen Shen Rui. Seeing him step forward, he helped him up without waiting for him to lean over and said with a smile: "I haven't seen him for three years, but Mr. Shen is still glorious..."
What happened was Wang Shouren: "Qiyan, do you know Hengyun?"
The person who came was not someone else, but Liu Zhong, the chief official of the Sili Prison who had traveled with Shen Rui when he went to Beijing four years ago.
At that time, Liu Zhong was just a teenager and a sixth-rank official in the Sili Supervisor. He was ordered by the emperor to go to the local area to handle the work, which made Shen Rui secretly surprised. Liu Zhong was quite interested in Xingyiquan and still
I have recorded the boxing brochure, and I naturally remember Shen Rui clearly.
Those who can enter the Lijian are all literacy supervisors from the Nei Academy. The Nei Academy has always used the rules of teaching Hanlin Bachelor's Class. Starting from Wang Hua, Wang Shouren called Liu Zhong "Junior Brother".
However, Wang Shouren, who had not been in conjunction with the eunuch in history and was almost given away his name, had contacts with the official in private. Looking at this attitude, it was obvious that he had already had a friendship and had a lot of friendship, which really made Shen Rui look at him.
