Hearing the young man in red yelling loudly, Shen Rui was surprised.
This young man is fourteen or five years old. He has a pair of red and phoenix eyes. He has a very good appearance, but his eyebrows are too sharp, and he is difficult to get along with at first glance. I just don’t know what his identity is, and he is so confident? Is he San? Shen Rui thought about it for a while, but felt it didn't seem like it. I heard that several uncles of the third house married young, and most of the legitimate sons and daughters of the Yu family had already married and established a family, and the legitimate grandchildren were almost at the age of enlightenment; one of them was married by the third house. Shen Zhu, who was treated like a treasure by Fang, has already achieved the status of scholar and should not be in this class now.
You must know that no matter how famous the Shen clan school is or how many students it has, this clan school is owned by the Shen family after all. Shen Jue is the legitimate grandson of the clan, and Shen Quan is the legitimate son of the fifth family. In terms of status, these two people He is also one of the best in ethnic studies, and there are still people who shout about it like this.
Who is this young man? Shen Rui looked at Shen Quan and Shen Jue.
Shen Quan responded, lazily raising his brows without saying a word; Shen Jue raised his eyebrows and said, "Where did the pug come from to care about the young master's affairs! Dong Shuang is not a man of glass, who can You can crush him, and you have to stare at him for a while? Although this is not my living room, it is the Shen family's study, and it is a break from class. I don't know, why can't the Shen family speak? "
The young man in red had an angry face and was about to speak, when someone said: "Brother Xiu..."
When the young man in red heard the voice, his evil spirit immediately subsided and turned around.
A young man of fifteen or six years old came in at the door. He had an ordinary appearance and a smiling face, and he looked quite approachable.
Before the visitor could speak, the boy in red complained: "Brother Zhujiu, someone is bullying cousin Dong."
When he said this, not only Shen Jue and Shen Quan frowned, but several other Shen family members in the room were also unwilling to listen. Several in-laws with foreign surnames showed no intention of stepping forward to help Dong Shuang, but many people complained about him. Nosy, he looked at Dong Shuang with a very unkind look. Dong Shuang looked even more embarrassed next to him, and his eye circles turned red.
The situation just now was in everyone's eyes. Shen Jue and Shen Quan stepped forward to talk to their new classmates. Dong Shuang was not used to being close to others, so he stepped aside to avoid it. He seemed troubled, but he was really unwilling. He stood up and came out. That is, why do you have to act like this?
"Who bullied him? Brother Jue Qi and Brother Quan came up to talk to Brother Rui. What did they do to him? Could it be that because he ignored him, he would cry and become embarrassed." A little fat man stood up and said.
The lean young man sitting next to him also followed up with a male duck voice: "That's right, that's right, Shen Xiu, you are so unreasonable. Dong Shuang didn't say anything himself, so you just protected him and didn't look away for a moment. If not, Don't worry, just tell Master that if you change seats, you won't be able to stare at me from morning to night."
Shen Xiu stared at the lean young man and said angrily: "Shen Qin, why are you everywhere, asking you to get into trouble?"
Shen Qin laughed twice and said, "I can't write two Shen clans in one sentence. I can't allow others to bully my clan brothers."
Shen Xiu said angrily: "Which one is the outsider?"
Shen Qin snorted softly and turned his eyes on Shen Xiu.
Shen Xiu couldn't help it anymore and was about to rush forward, but Shen Zhu stretched out his arm to stop him.
Shen Zhu looked at Shen Xiu reassuringly, then ignored Shen Qin and only looked at Shen Quan, with a sincere face: "Brother Quan, we are either brothers from the clan or brothers by marriage. It won't look good if we make a fuss."
When Shen Quan heard this, he couldn't help but frown, and then he also smiled and said: "Brother Zhu is the most warm-hearted. Now that you are here, these little ones can't make trouble. They listen to you the most."
Shen Zhu looked at everyone, and the children with foreign surnames in the attached school all lowered their heads. This was a fight between the brothers of the Shen family, and it was not their business. Even if the children of the Shen family were unwilling, they were mostly quiet. Come down. Only two of them looked at the younger students, but they gave up. One of them pouted and said: "What's wrong with Uncle Zhujiu? The uncles are not doing anything at all. It's obviously Dong Shuang who is pretentious, and Uncle Xiu As a younger brother and being disrespectful to Third Uncle Quan, Uncle Zhujiu doesn’t teach them two a lesson, but instead wants to support them both. What’s the point?”
Another boy in his teens also said: "Dong Shuangxun is so troublesome, and that seat doesn't belong to your family. Why can't Uncle Rui sit down and shrink back? Who do you dislike?"
Although the other children of the Shen family silenced themselves under Shen Zhu's gaze, they felt very unhappy. However, because Shen Zhu was the direct grandson of the third wife and was good at homework, they temporarily stopped. This time they heard the complaints from the two younger generations. , they also followed, and the little fat man said: "If someone really bullies Dong Shuang, Brother Zhujiu will just complain. It's obvious that no one bullied him, but Brother Zhujiu still comes to teach his brothers a lesson. In Brother Zhujiu's eyes, his cousin is better than his brother. Dear?"
Shen Qin used her drake voice again and said: "How can this be a classmate? Is this a living ancestor who should be worshiped? Don't say it first, then tell the story, and want to bully the new classmates. Has the second brother Rui obeyed in the past few years? Come on, not everyone can be bullied?"
The chatter was so lively that Shen Rui felt his head was spinning as he watched.
At this time, a clanging sound was heard in the courtyard, and the students who were noisy all returned to their seats honestly.
Shen Zhu sighed helplessly and said to Shen Rui: "Second brother Rui, my cousin comes from a small family and is a bit shy. Don't worry about it. It's time to go to class now. I'll go back first. Let him apologize to you later." After that, he went out.
Shen Rui glanced at Shen Quan and understood his helplessness just now. Shen Zhu really didn't listen to what he said. It was clearly Shen Xiu and Shen Jue just now. Shen Qin made a few small noises, but Shen Zhu looked for a direct answer. When I went to Shen Quan, it seemed that Shen Quan was the one causing trouble; he was a soy sauce guy, but after what he said, he didn't allow people to cause disputes.
No matter whether such a person is really smart or fake, Shen Rui doesn't bother to pay attention to him.
Originally, when I saw that he, Chen Zhu, had an honest and gentle appearance, and was a scholar at a young age, I thought it was the third bedroom that "bad bamboo produces good bamboo shoots." But now I see, what the hell.
The master came in, not the one in Shen Rui's memory, but a master in his twenties.
This is also the difference between the Shen family clan school and other schools. Except for the mountain chief who presides over the clan clan school, which is not easy to change, the other masters are all talented people who have continued their careers and have different backgrounds. Some are brothers from the side branches and concubines, and some are in-laws. For the students from poor families in the past, coming to the clan to learn teaching might delay their study time, but the gains outweigh the losses. If they can get the guidance of a senior scholar, they might also be able to get into the relationship with which room of the Shen family they belong to.
Although some of these scholars fail in their careers, there are often those who win. In this way, it is also a source of supervision and encouragement for the students. And for those scholars who fail, as long as they teach well, they will also benefit. It's a little impressive. There are regulations in ethnic studies: Mengtong will be promoted to Tongsheng, Tongsheng will be promoted to scholar, and scholar will be promoted to scholar. Teachers and mountain leaders of each class will be rewarded.
This master was wearing a green shirt, and he obviously had a great reputation. Although Shen Rui saw him for the first time, he felt that this man looked familiar.
The visitor obviously noticed that there was another person in the room, nodded slightly, sat down behind a table, opened the book in his hand, and began to talk about the Four Books.
Shen Rui realized why he looked familiar to this man. It was because this man also had red phoenix eyes and looked about five points similar to Shen Xiu. However, the rest of his face was average and not as dazzling as Shen Xiu's appearance.
Shen Rui touched his chin. Is this Shen Xiu's brother? Shen Xiu is so arrogant because his brother is a wife? Who is this Shen Xiu from? Why have I never heard of this person before? Shen Rui glanced at himself again His new deskmate, this man is called Dong Shuang, and he is Dong Juren’s son? Didn’t it mean that Dong Juren’s two sons have achieved fame? They should be Dong Juren’s nephews or something like that. No wonder Shen Zhu came forward to defend them. They are like cousins.
Dong Shuang not only listened attentively, but also kept writing. From time to time, he would write a few sentences. Such a situation seemed familiar to Shen Rui. Isn't this the way to take notes in class in later generations? Even he himself kept this habit. , whether he was listening to Wang Shouren's lectures or Shen Li's lectures, he had to take notes. Unexpectedly, he met someone like him now.
Shen Rui's eyes fell on Dong Shuang's notes again, and he couldn't help but chuckle. The characters were really human-shaped, neat and elegant but slightly weak.
After Dong Shuang finished writing down a stroke, he raised his eyes and was about to dip his hand in ink when he saw Shen Rui's little face. He trembled and almost dropped the brush in his hand.
His reaction shocked Shen Rui. Shen Rui touched his face, but there was nothing unusual. Because of his mother Xiao, he was already more delicate and not feminine, so everyone who saw him wanted to I want to compliment you on your handsome guy. To put it bluntly, among the ten students in this class, only Shen Xiu and Shen Jue have better looks than him. How can they scare people?
Thinking like this, Shen Rui couldn't help but look at Dong Shuang a few more times, then he lowered his head and his ears were pink.
Shen Rui thought of Shen Zhu's words just now. Could it be that he has a "shy" temperament?
Shen Rui's eyes couldn't help but fall on Dong Shuang's earlobes, which were pink and smooth. Shen Rui moved his eyes away and felt that he was thinking too much. This was the Ming Dynasty, when ethics and ethics were flourishing, and the conflict between men and women was no joke. , how can there be a scene of "women dressing up as men"? Unless they don't plan to marry off their daughters, parents will never act like this no matter how stupid they are.
When the bell outside rang again, the young master got up and went out.
There are two classes in the morning in Ethnic Studies. When Shen Rui came, it was the break time for the first class. Now that the second class is over, it is time for the lunch break.
The boys and girls who had been hiding in the side room all rushed in with their food boxes, and each family brought extra tea and lunch.
Shen Jue sat in the middle of the first row. On the left were the little fat man and Shen Qin, and on the right were the two Japanese-born boys. Shen Jue stood up and walked to Shen Rui, but did not stop and asked him to go with him. Go to Shen Quan's seat in the last row at the back.
Shen Quan's deskmate was a big man with a simple and honest face. When he saw them coming, he stood up and offered his seat. Shen Jue hurriedly held down his seat and said, "Brother Jia, please sit down, let's all come together."
Hearing this name, Shen Rui knew that he was a concubine of the fifth family and a cousin of Shen Quan. Although he was several years older than Shen Rui and others, he was not very smart. This was one of Shen Rui's classmates back then.
The little fat man who was quarreling with Shen Xiu just now is Shen Bao, the legitimate grandson of the eighth family, and Shen Qin, the male duck-voiced son, is the legitimate son of the seventh family. They were both Shen Rui's classmates at that time.
Among the nine houses of the Shen family, the fourth house is descended from the descendants of the founder Shen Du, the fifth house is from the lineage of Shen Du's younger brother Shen Can, the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth house are from the lineage of the uncles of the two brothers of the Shen family.
The children of the population in the inner four houses come from the same source and are originally one branch, scattered and have the fewest children; the fifth house is the second, and the descendants of the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth house are the most abundant.
However, because the Songjiang clan's surname was Shen, it was originally the family established by the brothers Shen Du and Shen Can. Among the descendants of the descendants, the five-fang family has continued to be an official, and it is the five-fang family that has the most weight in the clan. Even if the other heads of households have many descendants, they are mostly attached to the first few households. Among them, the ancestors of the seventh and eighth households are brothers. In the clan, these two families are of the same mind, and their children are very close.
The situation of students in ethnic studies has always been related to the status of each house leader, but this Shen Xiu is an outlier.
Changshou and Liu Cheng had already placed the food boxes. They ate and slept without talking, and for a while there was no sound in the room.
Shen Rui sat opposite Shen Quan, and when he saw his expression turning cold when he looked somewhere, he turned his head curiously.
Shen Zhu was sitting on his seat. Opposite him was Shen Xiu. Shen Xiu was whispering something to Liu Shuang. Liu Shuang did not raise his head, but shook his head vigorously.
After lunch was served and the food boxes were put away, Shen Jue pulled Shen Rui up and said, "Now that we have eaten, let's go to Yingyuan to play."
Shen Rui looked at Shen Quan, and Shen Jue pouted and said, "There's no need to wait for Third Brother Quan, he wants to read a book."
Shen Quan smiled at Shen Rui and said, "Brother Rui and brother Jue go out. I don't like to go out and play."
When Shen Rui and Shen Jue came out, Shen Jue couldn't wait to complain: "I can't stay in this school. Shen Xiu hangs around Dong Shuang like flies around rotten meat all day long. It really stains my eyes. Wait." One day I can't help it anymore, so I'll go talk to my grandfather. Even if the mountain chief is now a Dong Juren, this is still the Shen family's school, and it doesn't matter if cats and dogs come in."
Shen Rui couldn't help but wonder when he saw that his face was full of contempt and his words were not polite at all.
He had long heard that male masculinity was prevalent in the Ming Dynasty in the south, but in recent years he had only had limited contact with people, and he really didn't know much about it.
No wonder Dong Shuang acted a little awkwardly and avoided him. Could it be that he was afraid that he would fall in love with his anus? Thinking of this, Shen Rui's mouth twitched: "Shen Xiu and Dong Shuang are a couple?"
Shen Jue shook his head and said: "It's probably because he didn't get started, that Dong Shuang is not a good person...he is indifferent to others, and his eyes are red at all times. It seems like someone bullied him. He is just Mrs. Dong's nephew, His arrogance is greater than that of the direct descendants of the Shen family."
"Which house leader is Shen Xiu? Why haven't you heard of him?" Shen Rui asked curiously.
Shen Jue snorted coldly and said: "I am just a second-family concubine, but I think of myself as a person."
After hearing this, Shen Rui was very surprised and said: "Since you are a concubine, how can you be so confident?"
The direct branch of the second wife is in Beijing, and the collateral branches of the concubine are like invisible people in the Shen family. Even if the clan members decide that the position of the second wife is vacant, it will not be the turn of these concubine branches to come out.
Shen Jue said: "They don't regard themselves as common people, but as direct descendants. But they don't want to think about it. After I gave birth to a wife, I didn't even go up the family tree, and I still have the nerve to treat myself as a direct descendant. I'm really shameless... "
