Son Mo
Chapter 31
...I haven't found a place to live, your house seems quite big, or else...hehehe..."
Shen Jun frowned and looked at Sun Hongxuan, gritted his teeth in hatred.
However, since the latter was so injured, no inn would dare to take him in. You can't really want this bastard to sleep on the street after being injured like this, right?That's too inhumane.
If it were Sun Hongyu who had fallen to this point, Shen Jun would definitely not pay attention to this shit, but Sun Hongxuan and Sun Hongyu's temperaments are very different, they are completely like two types of people.
Sun Hongyu belongs to the "extremely sinister type", while Sun Hongxuan is naive and outrageous.From Shen Jun's heart, he actually doesn't dislike this naive half-brother, otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed to the Cao Mansion to apologize early in the morning.
"Uncle Nian, find him a room in the mansion to settle in." Shen Jun gritted his teeth.
The old housekeeper smiled slightly, "Yes, the old servant will arrange it now."
Unexpectedly, Sun Hongxuan, who got the promise, was still stuck in place, "Brother...do you still have breakfast in the kitchen? I'm so hungry... I haven't eaten anything since last night..."
Hearing this, Shen Jun's face almost turned green.
Sun Hongxuan continued to laugh, "Eh... I don't know if there is any leftover from yesterday's iced soup, can you give me a little bit too..."
Taking a deep breath, Shen Jun stared, "Get lost!"
Sun Hongxuan trembled all over, turned his head and fled out with a frightened expression on his face...
After dealing with this troublesome matter, Shen Jun adjusted his mood and hurried to the attic in the backyard.In the attic, Li Ruijie was flipping through the book with a book in his hand, but he was obviously absent-minded, and his eyes were also distracted. Shen Jun had already walked in front of him without noticing.
"Hey! What are you thinking about?" Shen Jun smiled and pinched Young Master Xiaojie's cheek, "Hunyou is too empty!"
Li Ruijie turned his head to the left and hid, "It's okay...just a little worried about the palace exam next week, and I don't know what to do."
"Oh~ Anxiety before the exam~ It's okay! I occasionally have this kind of restlessness before the exam, so it's okay! As long as I enter the exam room, I will forget all the anxiety and anxiety in a short while. Don't worry!"
"Have you ever taken the imperial examination? Is it true or not?" Li Ruijie squinted at Shen Jun, "Solve the exam or save the exam? What happened in that year?"
Shen Jun was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Then what, brother, I really haven't taken the imperial examination once..." After a pause, he continued, "I mean the overnight homework I left when I was in a private school. Isn’t Master going to conduct spot checks in the next day? That’s the same as the tension of the imperial examination~”
Li Ruijie shook his head helplessly, "How can these two be compared together? If you can't answer the homework, you will be given a ruler at most, and if you fail the palace exam, you have to wait another three years. How many three years can there be..."
"Three years is three years, what's the big deal? So many old scholars have come to Beijing for the exam three years after three years, and they are unwilling to give up lightly... Um, or do you mean that you don't want to take the official career?"
Young master Xiaojie's eyes moved, and he looked at the man in front of him in a little surprise.
In Shen Jun's heart, it was as if he was holding a bright mirror, and he immediately realized that he was ugly. He stepped forward and put Li Ruijie's shoulders, and smiled.
"Don't think about what you have and what you don't have. The palace test comes first, and you have to work hard to finish the test. As for whether you are in the middle or not, it's up to you to make things happen. Don't worry about it. You can't control it. That's all for the future. It’s over. Right now, we have to fight hard for a while, otherwise we won’t be able to explain to the county magistrate when we go back, and we can avoid regrets many years later, right?”
☆, Chapter 41
The imperial examination, which determines the future direction of the students of the Song Dynasty, has finally officially opened.
In view of the fact that the number of students who went to Beijing to take the exam this year was more than twice that of last year, the officials of the Ministry of Rituals specially ordered a re-examination on the eighth day before the official exam.As soon as the results came out, thousands of candidates were abruptly brushed down.
Li Ruijie and Sun Hongxuan were lucky enough to pass the test smoothly.And the group of students who failed the re-examination could only leave Bianjing City full of unwillingness and helplessness.Among them, there were even fifteen scholars with extremely poor psychological endurance. Unable to withstand such setbacks, they jumped into the Bian River to commit suicide, and six of them drowned.
The more than 2000 people who have successfully passed the customs are not easy. What awaits them is an eight-day closed exam.In the end, there are only less than 200 people who can get the title of the gold list as they wish, and the other more than 800 students can only come to Bianjing after three years of dormancy.
At dusk on the first day of the exam, the first examinee was taken away from the exam hall because of physical discomfort.At midnight, four other examinees were forcibly carried out of the examination hall by the guards because they fainted.
On the second day, a total of twelve candidates gave up the exam due to various reasons. On the third day, the number quickly soared to 36. On the fourth day, the number of candidates who quit the exam was more than double the number of the previous three days.
There was sobbing in front of the entrance of the examination hall.Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years, but all his achievements fell short.The scholars who woke up all beat their chests and screamed, begging for another chance to let them enter the examination hall and continue to finish the papers.The guarding soldiers still had an indifferent expression on their faces, holding weapons firmly in front of the gate, without any accommodation.
"How many is this?"
Looking out through the small window of the carriage, Shen Jun looked worried.
In other families, one person went to the exam and the whole family was anxious, but in his own family, two bastards entered the exam institute. Shen Jun's anxiety was naturally doubled.And in the morning, a candidate died suddenly while answering the test paper. Such a big living person walked into the gate of the examination institute, and when he came out, he became a dead body. How could it not be heartbreaking!The three servants of the bitter master's family cried hoarsely and their hearts were broken on the spot, it was really pitiful.Shen Jun was also in a panic at the time, wishing he could rush into the examination hall and get those two bastards out.
"It's the 150th and the third, and it's not dark yet, so I guess it will break [-] today." Xiao Anzi said.
"Two were killed violently, and three were insane. This is a life-threatening test! I don't know what kind of situation those two little bastards are in there. I'm so worried!"
"There are still two days left, master, please be patient." Xiao Anzi fanned his master and comforted him, "It's a good sign that Mr. Jie and Fourth Young Master are not coming out yet. They are staying in the examination institute." The longer the time, the more likely it is to write amazing articles, at least better than those who quit halfway, maybe in the end our two young masters won the first prize, the second place, and the third prize, that would be so glorious!"
"It's easy to say! I'm afraid I didn't get the fame, but I lost my life, bah bah bah! I'm a crow mouth!"
As soon as the words were finished, the gate of the examination institute slowly opened again, and two more candidates were escorted out by the guards.
"Xu Ming, Sun Hongxuan, the family members of the above two candidates come here quickly!"
The official from the Ministry of Rites shouted three times indifferently, then turned around and returned to the examination institute.Hearing the word 'Sun Hongxuan', Shen Jun's heart suddenly jumped violently once or twice, and then he hurriedly led Xiao Anzi, Xiao Yuanzi, Xiao Shunzi and the two little ones who came to Bianjing City with Sun Hongxuan. The five servants hurried towards the gate of the examination institute.
When a group of six people arrived in front of the main gate of the examination institute, Sun Hongxuan was still somewhat conscious and called out "Big Brother" in a low voice. How long have you been struggling in it before.
"Yuanzi, hurry up! Go to the medical clinic and ask for a doctor! Please go directly to the mansion!"
"Yes!" Xiao Yuanzi Deling immediately ran out with a nervous expression on his face.
"Anzi, Shunzi, you two continue to stay here, just in case Xiaojie makes any mistakes!"
The two servants, De Ling, also nodded cautiously.
Shen Jun and the other two servants quickly picked up Sun Hongxuan and went straight to the carriage, and then the coachman slammed his whip hard on the horse's back, only to hear a "pop", and the horse was in pain on the spot. There was a neighing sound, the horse's hooves galloped, and the four wheels of the cart turned immediately, carrying the two brothers to the direction of the Sun's residence.
"Brother... I failed the exam..."
In the carriage, Sun Hongxuan closed his eyes, choked up with sobs and expressed frustration.
Stretching out his hand to touch the boy's hot forehead, Shen Jun frowned slightly: "Stop thinking about it when everyone is out, relax, take care of your health, the road ahead is still long."
Two pieces of thick ice were prepared in advance in the carriage, which was originally used to chill the sour plum soup. Although most of it had melted away, the water was still cold, which was just right for soaking a towel and applying it to Sun Hongxuan's forehead to cool down. Otherwise, Shen Jun was really worried about the high fever. This burns the brains of the latter.
"Daddy has always had very high expectations for me. When he was dying, he repeatedly told me to work hard to get a good reputation and add glory to the Sun family, but I... I..." The man did not flick his tears, but he did not arrive. In the sad place, the young man burst into tears between words.
Now that the tears were shed, the grief and indignation pent up in the young man's heart found a place to vent, and Shen Jun felt much more at ease in his heart.
Shen Jun didn't know how to comfort others, and he couldn't feel the grief after losing the imperial examination. But I really don't know what to do.
Fortunately, the fourth brother of the compatriot did not make such a degrading move, but wept sadly afterwards, with a certain degree of concentration.
In addition, this time Sun Hongxuan was able to bear the physical discomfort and insist on answering the papers until he was finally discovered by the examiner and forced to leave the examination hall by the guards.With this persistence and tenacity alone, Shen Jun couldn't help but feel a little bit of admiration for this innocent little brother.
After another two days, the imperial examination finally came to an end.
After eight days of hell-like torment, all the reference students walked out of the entrance of the examination institute in groups, either sad or happy.As if telepathically, Shen Jun quickly found Li Ruijie with a frustrated face in the crowd, and immediately led his servants to meet him.
Seeing Shen Jun running straight in his direction from a distance, Mr. Xiaojie couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and the previous depression disappeared without a trace.
Everything seemed to reappear from yesterday, and the scene of the two meeting at the bank of the Bianjing River after a long absence that day was rewinded and repeated.But seeing Shen Jun galloping through the crowd, running wildly all the way, how many insteps he stepped on, how many shoulders he bumped, and how many reprimands and curses he attracted, he didn't care at all.Until finally standing firmly in front of Li Ruijie, Shen Jun immediately raised his eyebrows and showed a signature exclusive smirk expression, and then he opened his arms and hugged his sweetheart who was still standing there tightly into his arms.
A long sigh seemed to contain endless satisfaction, and seemed to express the endless worries smoldering in his heart. Shen Jun rested his chin on Young Master Xiaojie's left shoulder, and gently rubbed his left cheek against the other's left cheek, with a very intimate demeanor.
Mr. Xiaojie smiled in a low voice, and patted Shen Jun on the back: "Xiaosheng didn't pass the exam, why don't you hurry up and comfort me, a frustrated person? Young Master Sun is really too ruthless!"
ruthless?I'm worried to death!
As if grabbing the opponent's waist for revenge, Shen Jun leaned close to Li Ruijie's ear and smiled, "Are you tired?"
"The body is not tired, but the heart is tired." Li Ruijie smiled wryly while hiding his head sideways.
Hearing this, a meaningful smile flashed in Shen Jun's eyes, and the two of them met their eyes, and in an instant, a strange feeling rushed straight to Li Ruijie's heart.
The moon hangs on the treetops, like the pearl left behind in the world; the stars are all over the sky, no one can count them. At that time, the night was already dark, but people were still awake.
In the backyard of Shen's mansion, dozens of fireflies were chasing and frolicking slowly, and the stars were dotted with stars, reflecting the stars and the moon in the sky.The rooms in the West Wing are brightly lit by candlelight, and there are people in pairs.
Li Ruijie writes lightly, but sees the young man's expression focused, the brush strokes are flat or round, stay or heavy or change, and the ink on the rice paper is either light or thick or broken or splashed or stained or scorched or sleepy. It's almost finished.
Looking at the new works, Mr. Xiaojie seemed very satisfied, and couldn't help smiling.After writing and stamping, his eyes moved slightly, only then did he realize that Shen Jun, who was lying beside the desk, had fallen asleep.Stretching out his hand and pushing the opponent's shoulder, Shen Jun raised his head with sleepy eyes.
"Did you draw it?"
Previously, he had to stay in the wing room to see how to paint, and he said he was half a painter, but he fell asleep halfway through, and Mr. Xiaojie looked helpless.
"Well, the chapter just finished will be framed tomorrow." After looking at the new painting again, Li Ruijie continued, "It's late at night, you should go back to your room to rest."
"If you don't go back, you'll be so sleepy you won't be able to move your legs, so I'll just sleep in your room tonight."
Li Ruijie was taken aback, "How about I call Xiao Anzi to help you back?"
"Anzi and the others have already gone to bed, and tonight it's just the two of us in this yard~" While speaking, Shen Jun got up and walked behind Young Master Xiaojie, wrapping his arms around the latter's waist lightly, "Don't pretend to be confused , I hinted at you outside the entrance of the examination hall in the evening."
Li Ruijie's face was flushed, his eyes flickered, "I..."
With a smile in his eyes, Shen Jun supported Li Ruijie's waist and forced the latter to turn around. The two faced each other and looked at each other.
"Really unwilling?"
Li Ruijie was a little flustered, and quickly looked away from the two of them, not daring to answer.
With a low laugh, he leaned forward and pressed a light kiss on Li Ruijie's cheek. At the same time, Shen Jun slowly loosened his belt with ten fingers.Summer House was already dressed in cool clothes, but in just a moment, Shen Jun was standing in front of Li Ruijie completely naked.
But seeing the young man's condensed muscles and jade body, and his eyes full of emotion, it will directly captivate the soul.
"Are you still reluctant?" The deep voice was mixed with a charming voice, with a half-smile and half-smile and complaint, how many people could bear to refuse.
With his eyes tightly closed, Mr. Xiaojie began to sweat profusely on his forehead, his face was flushed, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated 'bang bang bang bang bang', but he remained silent and did not respond.
"That's all, it's a waste of shame and shame to flirt with a stupid bastard who doesn't know how to flirt, so let's go back and rest~"
After speaking, Shen Jun stepped back and tried to leave, but Li Ruijie suddenly opened his eyes and reached out to grab his right wrist tightly.Shen Jun smiled and took another step back, and was immediately pulled back by Li Ruijie forcibly. In a blink of an eye, Shen Jun was tightly hugged by Li Ruijie, unable to escape.The latter's heavy snort rushed straight into Shen Jun's eardrums in an instant.
"A spring night is worth a thousand gold, what are you waiting for?"
Looking at Shen Jun with smiling eyes, listening to the other party's playful tone.The heart is flustered, the mind is chaotic, and the feeling is getting stronger!In the end, Young Master Xiaojie couldn't help himself anymore, and he seemed to be possessed by a demon on the spot, kissing the naked boy in front of him frantically...
☆, Chapter 42
In the early morning, the birds were chirping non-stop in the Shen Mansion's back garden, full of vitality.
In the west wing, Li Ruijie was sitting on the edge of the bed, reaching out his hands to gently rub Shen Jun's back.Shen Jun squinted his eyes and lay naked on the bed.Just by looking at the hickey marks all over the back, you can tell how "tragic" the fierce battle between the two of them was last night. Now I can only hear the naked boy moaning and chirping from time to time, and I don't know whether it is comfort or pain.
"Little bastard! You usually look like a gentleman, but I didn't expect you to be like a wild beast when you are in love!" With a bitter face, Shen Jun said angrily, "I almost killed you on this bed last night! "
Young Master Xiaojie was ashamed. Thinking of the glamorous scene last night, his body and mind were unbearably restless. He could only lower his head quickly and rub his hands harder on the naked boy's waist.
"How did you feel last night?" Squeezing Li Ruijie's cheek with his backhand, Shen Jun continued to tease, "I'm asking you something! Don't pretend to be dumb! Did you have a good time with me last night?"
Hearing this, Li Ruijie's cheeks turned red on the spot, his expression was three points shy, three points angry, and four points helpless.
"Why are you so, so..."
"Why can you say everything out of your mouth, why are you so stinky and shameless?" Shen Jun raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's not the first day I met me, my son came out of the womb with this virtue, a sentence So, tell me whether you like it or not, right?"
He turned his face awkwardly and looked out the window, Young Master Xiaojie blushed and nodded.
"Very, very fond of..."
"That's it!" Stretching out his hand and forcefully pulling Li Ruijie to lie down on his side, Shen Jun looked smug, "Sexy man! The more you are like this, the more I love to tease you, hehehehe~" Before the words finished, he suddenly grasped Young master Xiaojie's lower body was firm and he started to play with it, and the latter couldn't help but tremble all over again.
"It's time to get up, don't mess around!" Li Ruijie's expression collapsed.
"I really don't want it? I've become so hard and I'm still holding back, I'm not afraid of holding back~"
Li Ruijie struggled for a while, and finally blushed and said, "I want to..."
"Say it earlier~"
After finishing speaking, Shen Jun smiled and put a kiss on Li Ruijie's lips, and then slowly kissed Young Master Xiaojie's chin, neck, chest, and abdomen all the way until finally reaching the hidden forest...
Three days after the scientific examination ended, most of the candidates who had no hope of making it to the rankings had already returned home one after another.Candidates who thought they performed well remained in Bianjing City, waiting for the imperial court to release the gold list.
In the early morning of this day, brothers Shen Jun and Sun Hongxuan were having breakfast in the lobby.
"It's been more than half a month since we left Changyang City. When are you planning to leave for home?" Shen Junmao asked casually after biting a bun.
Sun Hongxuan drank the soy milk with his head sullen, looked up at his elder brother with a guilty conscience, and then saw the boy reach out his hand like lightning and suddenly grabbed the fifth egg pancake from the plate, brought it to his mouth and started chewing it.
Such a big piece of cake was gloriously sacrificed in the blink of an eye. In the end, the boy burped loudly on the spot. Before the calculation was over, Sun Hongxuan glanced at his elder brother again, stretched out his hand, and took the last piece of cake on the plate. Zhang omelette also grabbed it.
"Why didn't you see Ruijie come over to have breakfast with elder brother today?" With a shy face, Sun Hongxuan talked about him, "Has he not gotten up yet?"
"Xiaojie went out to visit Mr. Wen Lin early in the morning, and he probably won't be back until dusk." Shen Jun had a gentle face.
"Mr. Wenlin? Is that the old master who is known as the 'painting idiot' in Bianjing?" Sun Hongxuan's eyes lit up immediately, and he stretched out his hand to grab the three hemp balls from the plate. Even today, His Majesty praises Mr. Wen Lin! By the way, how did the two of them know each other?"
Shen Jun smiled, "Since we are called 'painting idiots', of course it is because of painting. The night before yesterday, I ordered Anzi to send a new painting and a letter of greeting to Liao's mansion. At noon yesterday, Mr. Wenlin sent someone to deliver Here is an invitation to invite Xiaojie to visit the house."
"Oh! So, the old master wants to accept Rui's masterpiece as a closed disciple?" Hearing this, Sun Hongxuan looked envious, and stretched out his hand to grab two more fried dough sticks from the plate.
"It's possible... tsk! Don't eat it, you'll be reincarnated as a starving ghost! It's like you've never seen food in your previous life! Let me ask you something, when will you return to Changyang City?"
"Whenever Li Ruijie goes back, I will go back!" While speaking, Sun Hongxuan picked up another piece of watermelon from the plate, and began to eat it with a snort.
Shen Jun frowned, "It will take some time for the court to release the list and worship Mr. Wenlin as a teacher. Xiaojie will definitely not be able to go back in the short term."
"Pull it down! It's not because you are reluctant to let Ruijie go back, big brother, so you have to try to keep Ruijie!" Sun Hongxuan squinted at his big brother with contempt on his face.
"Since you understand everything, why do you insist on staying with me?"
Sun Hongxuan raised his eyebrows, and said quietly, "I'm happy here, I don't think about Shu~"
"I don't miss your sister! This is not the Sun Mansion, and I'm not very familiar with you. What's the point of living here for free? I owe you?" Shen Jun stood up slowly, with his left hand on his hip, Pointing at Sun Hongxuan's nose with his right hand, "Go back to Changyang City early tomorrow morning, don't let me see you again!"
"No! I won't go back to Changyang City!" Sun Hongxuan turned his head, stubbornly stubborn, "Elder brother is like a father! My father is gone, so you have to take care of me, elder brother, and you must be 'meticulous', 'careful', It's only natural to take care of me with 'considerate care'!"
Shen Jun's eyes widened, and he was about to go mad at that time, "Your brother Sun Hongyu is in Changyang City, and your mother is also in Changyang City. When will it be my turn to take care of you, the fourth young master of the Sun family? You, you In the end, you still have to be shameless!"
"No more!" Sun Hongxuan looked at Shen Jun with an aggrieved face, and said, "This is also what my father told me when he was dying. He asked me to hang out with you and learn from you...Brother, you treat Li Ruijie like that." Enthusiastic, it is enviable to look at, I am your fourth younger brother with the same surname, a family member! It is enough for the elder brother to give Hongxuan half of his love..."
"You two are different! Tsk... just rely on me not wanting to leave, and carry the old man out, you, you are just..."
Seeing Shen Jun's angry expression, Sun Hongxuan was also anxious, "Brother, Hongxuan really didn't lie to you! If you don't believe me, why don't you ask Dad to come and talk to you tonight?"
Hearing this, Shen Jun was taken aback for a moment, then gasped sharply, and saw him take off his shoes as soon as he lifted his right leg.
Sun Hongxuan's face changed suddenly, and he quickly grabbed two more hemp balls and a piece of watermelon from the plate, turned his head, turned around, and rushed out of the lobby as if his butt was on fire, and ran straight to the front hall.
Shen Jun chased and scolded all the way with his shoes in his hands: "You bastard! Stop! Eat my food, drink my food, live in my food and use my food! You stay at my house and don't leave, and you dare to curse me to the west! See if I don't beat you today! You little bastard is half dead! Don't run!"
Shen Jun, who was relied on, was extremely distressed, and made up his mind to send Sun Hongxuan back to his hometown in Changyang City. However, two days later, a piece of news suddenly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Bianjing City.It is said that there were three consecutive homicides in the outskirts of Bianjing City. A group of highway robbers armed and robbed a passing business convoy in broad daylight, and killed 26 people. One of them was a certain rich man who was going to Beijing to rush for an exam.
Dare to commit three major crimes in a row at the feet of the emperor, you will know how daring these gangsters are.And because the murder case has not yet been solved, he was worried that something might happen to Sun Hongxuan on his return trip, and Nian Bo repeatedly pleaded for mercy, so Shen Jun acquiesced in allowing Sun Hongxuan to continue to stay in Shen's residence.
On the other side, Li Ruijie was quite appreciated by Mr. Wen Lin, a 'painterly idiot', and the latter really took the former as a closed disciple just as Sun Hongxuan expected.As a result, Li Ruijie spent most of his day in the Liao Mansion studying painting with Mr. Wenlin.Shen Jun, who was guarding the vacant room by himself, suddenly seemed a little lonely and impatient again.
In the middle of the night, as usual, the two of them washed up and lay down on the bed side by side after having sex.
"As soon as the results of the gold list come out tomorrow, I will write a letter from my family and send it to Changyang City to report my safety." Looking at the hollowed-out mosquito net, Young Master Xiaojie murmured, "I just don't know if my parents will agree with me to stay. I studied painting in Bianjing."
"Don't worry! With Mr. Wenlin's famous name, everyone in the Northern Song Dynasty doesn't know who doesn't know? If you are lucky enough to be his closed disciple, if you ask me, this is not inferior to being named on the gold list." Mr. Wen Lin is like a disciple, and Shen Jun looks proud, "The county magistrate will definitely be happy for you after receiving the letter."
Li Ruijie smiled, turned sideways and kissed Shen Jun on the forehead, "All the credit for this matter must be attributed to you, otherwise, I would not dare to send the painting directly to the Liao Mansion for Mr. Wenlin to appreciate , let alone become the old master's closed disciple."
"Thank me and kiss me again~" Shen Jun winked at Li Ruijie.
Hearing this, Li Ruijie immediately leaned closer and kissed him on the cheek again, "I've heard you talk about 'Northern Song Dynasty' all the time these two days, could it be possible that there are still 'Southern Song Dynasty', 'Eastern Song Dynasty', and 'Western Song Dynasty' in this world? "
"You don't understand this! I don't know astronomy at the top, geography at the bottom, and even more ignorance of astrology and fortune-telling, but I can deduce historical changes thousands of years ago and predict changes in the world thousands of years later. This 'Southern Song Dynasty' In fact, it is the new dynasty established after the fall of the 'Northern Song Dynasty'. How about it? Little handsome boy, let me ask you if you are afraid?"
"You're talking nonsense to me again..." Mr. Xiaojie muttered, reaching out to pull the boy into his arms.
"Hey, what do you think of us opening a clothing store in the capital?" Shen Jun suddenly asked again.
Li Ruijie thought for a while, "The Sun family doesn't have the slightest foundation in Bianjing City, and the right time, place, people, and any one of them don't have an advantage. It may not be easy to make it big." After a pause, he yawned and said, "Business You, the young master of the Sun family, know more than I do, so make up your own mind... Be good, it's late at night, close your eyes and go to sleep..."
☆, Chapter 43
On the day when the gold list was announced, Li Ruijie's name could not be found on the list.
The result was as expected. Li Ruijie only felt a little regret in his heart, not half sad, but more relaxed and relieved. Afterwards, a letter from Mr. Xiaojie was sent to Changyang City by the post envoy, while he remained in the Bianjingcheng studied painting with Mr. Wenlin.
More than half a month later, a clothing store named 'Yinqu Siting' quietly opened in the west of Bianjing.
People in the Song Dynasty liked to have their clothes custom-made because they lacked the concept of size, so there was no shop selling ready-made new clothes in the streets and alleys.If you want to add new clothes, from the common people to the royal relatives, you must first buy suitable fabrics from the cloth shop, and then have them sewed by the skilled women at home, or spend some money and have a full-time tailor do it for you.
'Yinqu Siting' was the first to sell finished clothes, which naturally attracted the attention of the people in Bianjing. However, what attracted more attention than this was the ready-to-wear styles in the store.Han culture has been passed down to the Northern Song Dynasty for thousands of years, and the popular traditional clothing is definitely Hanfu, but the styles sold by 'Yinqusiting' are quite different from Hanfu.
The main features of Hanfu are cross-collar (the two skirts of the clothes intersect left and right), right gusset (the left front skirt is covered with the right armpit belt, and the right skirt is covered inside), and it is tied with a rope instead of buttons. Young people can show a kind of free and easy beauty.
The clothes sold by 'Yinqusiting' have completely abandoned the design of cross-collar and right lapel. It is just like a piece of cloth folded in half and then sewn together, and then cut out three small, one large and four holes. A rather odd name - 'T-shirt'.
People in Bianjing City came here just to find out, and there was a lot of people in 'Yinqusiting'. However, the sales volume of the store on the first day of opening was quite bleak.
"Six pieces?" Shen Jun stared at the account book with rounded eyes, and Shen Jun was almost dumbfounded, "Didn't it mean that customers rushed into our store one by one like stealing money, trampling on the threshold? Are you done? Why did you only sell so much in one day?"
Xiao Anzi curled his lips, "A lot of people came into the store, I guess there are eight or nine hundred if there is no one thousand, but they are all just spectators who come to see novelties, ask things, but don't see them. How many people really took out their money to buy one or two pieces back..."
Shen Jun frowned, "What questions did they ask?"
"That's too much. People often ask questions like 'How to wear and take off this T-shirt', 'Is it a lining or an outer cover', and customers don't quite know what a T-shirt is. Womenswear and menswear, which is also the most frequently asked question.”
"Well...Anzi, you and Kang Shun quickly recruit eight handsome, well-proportioned young men in the city, and agree to hire them for three days and give them five taels of silver every day."
Hearing this, it was Xiao Anzi's turn to be dumbfounded this time, and the boy was obviously taken aback, "Master! Eight young men? Could it be a little bit more..."
"Eight is not much, I haven't finished talking yet! After that, you two will go to Lingque Tower again, and also recruit eight beautiful women, for three days, and give silver every day..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Anzi suddenly knelt down at Shen Jun's feet with a plop, which shocked Shen Jun a lot.
"Oh! What's the matter? Get up!" Shen Jun blinked at Xiao Anzi, his face full of doubts, "If you have something to say, why are you still crying?"
"Master, you must not do it!" Pulling his master's trouser legs, Xiao Anzi burst into tears and snot, "Eight 86, you can't bear it with your small body! You still have to pack for three days , if you don’t need it for half a day, you will have to be squeezed out of your life by them! Master! It’s not a big deal if the shop doesn’t make money.
Shen Jun's face was almost green, and he lifted Xiao Anzi up. Just about to start the training, the door suddenly creaked and was slowly pushed open from the outside.
Following the sound, I saw Sun Hongxuan opening his mouth 'O' at the door, Nian Bo, Xiao Yuanzi, Xia Yun brothers and sisters behind him, and even the six servants in the mansion all looked stunned.
Sun Hongxuan's eyes lit up, and he was trembling with excitement: "No wonder daddy wants me to learn from elder brother! One masters sixteen! As expected, elder brother is the best!"
The corner of Shen Jun's mouth twitched, and he rushed to kill Sun Hongxuan with the ledger in hand...
Three days later, hundreds of onlookers gathered in front of the shop of 'Yinqusiting'.Everyone's eyes were full of curiosity, and they talked non-stop.There was a wooden sign in front of the shop's gate, with the words "No Entry" written in bold bold characters.A two-meter-wide red carpet extends from the bottom of the sign all the way forward, about ten meters away.
Not long after, Xiao Yuanzi and Xiao Anzi ran to the door of the shop dragging firecrackers one behind the other.Seeing this, the onlookers retreated one after another, and the discussion became more and more heated. They all guessed what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the owner of 'Yinqu Siting'.
But seeing Xiao Yuanzi take out a firecracker from his pocket and blow it a little, immediately, the two boys hurriedly threw down the firecrackers, ran back into the shop with their heads in their arms, and closed the shop door. "Crackling" exploded everywhere, and the crumbs of the firecrackers were scattered everywhere.When the firecrackers were burned out and the smoke dissipated halfway, suddenly fifty musicians rushed over from all parts of the street towards 'Yin Que Si Ting' while playing musical instruments. It was very lively.
At this time, the store door of 'Yinqusiting' opened for the second time.
Amidst the smog, a handsome man and a beautiful woman appeared in front of the store at the same time. They walked hand in hand on the red carpet.
The two were wearing weird clothes sold in the 'Yinqusiting' store. This kind of clothes clearly outlined the tall and strong man and the graceful and graceful woman. Coupled with the appearance of the two, it was very seductive at first glance. He could no longer look away.
The bustling streets suddenly became silent, but only in an instant, like a frying pan exploded suddenly, people from far and near rushed towards the 'Yinqusiting' shop.
The handsome men and women had just walked three meters away along the red carpet, and a second group of handsome men and women holding hands appeared behind them.Different and eye-catching, but because of the strange clothes with slightly different styles, most of the eyes of the people are forcibly drawn from the handsome men and beautiful women.
There was a burst of boiling among the crowd, exclaiming!
Everyone seems to have discovered a new world in an instant, and their eyes are shining!
The handsome men and beautiful women walked out three meters, and the third group of evil men and charming women also appeared from behind the door, followed by the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth groups.Until the eight groups of men and women showed up one by one, walk the show back and forth along the red carpet twice, and then retreat into the shop.Xiao Yuanzi immediately removed the "No Entry" wooden sign standing in front of the gate of "Yinqu Siting".Seeing this, the crowd of onlookers and the common people flocked into the store one after another.
On the second floor of the store, Shen Jun stood at the end of the stairs with his hands behind his back and a smile.
Seeing the successful transaction of each product on the first floor and being taken out of the shop by the customers, the young man was obviously in a good mood.From time to time, Shen Jun turned his head and whispered a few words to Sun Hongxuan who was standing beside him, as if he was imparting some experience.The latter kept nodding his head in agreement, and looked at the elder brother with admiration in his eyes.
The business of the shop is quite booming, and the number of products sold in three days has reached [-].
However, to Shen Jun's perplexity, he searched the streets and alleys but found no one wearing the 'Yinqu Siting' costume ostentatiously.After the messenger asked, they found out that the customers bought them back as sexy clothes, and only wore them when they were making out.
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Shen Jun immediately thought of a good idea to make money...
Picking up the pen to collect the ink, Mr. Xiaojie was full of question marks, "The drawing is finished, now you have to tell me what the painting is about?"
Holding up the rice paper and blowing on the wet ink, Shen Jun raised his eyebrows, "This is the legendary mimi mask~"
"Secret cover?" Li Ruijie was still confused, "What secret?"
Reach out through the cloth
Shen Jun frowned and looked at Sun Hongxuan, gritted his teeth in hatred.
However, since the latter was so injured, no inn would dare to take him in. You can't really want this bastard to sleep on the street after being injured like this, right?That's too inhumane.
If it were Sun Hongyu who had fallen to this point, Shen Jun would definitely not pay attention to this shit, but Sun Hongxuan and Sun Hongyu's temperaments are very different, they are completely like two types of people.
Sun Hongyu belongs to the "extremely sinister type", while Sun Hongxuan is naive and outrageous.From Shen Jun's heart, he actually doesn't dislike this naive half-brother, otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed to the Cao Mansion to apologize early in the morning.
"Uncle Nian, find him a room in the mansion to settle in." Shen Jun gritted his teeth.
The old housekeeper smiled slightly, "Yes, the old servant will arrange it now."
Unexpectedly, Sun Hongxuan, who got the promise, was still stuck in place, "Brother...do you still have breakfast in the kitchen? I'm so hungry... I haven't eaten anything since last night..."
Hearing this, Shen Jun's face almost turned green.
Sun Hongxuan continued to laugh, "Eh... I don't know if there is any leftover from yesterday's iced soup, can you give me a little bit too..."
Taking a deep breath, Shen Jun stared, "Get lost!"
Sun Hongxuan trembled all over, turned his head and fled out with a frightened expression on his face...
After dealing with this troublesome matter, Shen Jun adjusted his mood and hurried to the attic in the backyard.In the attic, Li Ruijie was flipping through the book with a book in his hand, but he was obviously absent-minded, and his eyes were also distracted. Shen Jun had already walked in front of him without noticing.
"Hey! What are you thinking about?" Shen Jun smiled and pinched Young Master Xiaojie's cheek, "Hunyou is too empty!"
Li Ruijie turned his head to the left and hid, "It's okay...just a little worried about the palace exam next week, and I don't know what to do."
"Oh~ Anxiety before the exam~ It's okay! I occasionally have this kind of restlessness before the exam, so it's okay! As long as I enter the exam room, I will forget all the anxiety and anxiety in a short while. Don't worry!"
"Have you ever taken the imperial examination? Is it true or not?" Li Ruijie squinted at Shen Jun, "Solve the exam or save the exam? What happened in that year?"
Shen Jun was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Then what, brother, I really haven't taken the imperial examination once..." After a pause, he continued, "I mean the overnight homework I left when I was in a private school. Isn’t Master going to conduct spot checks in the next day? That’s the same as the tension of the imperial examination~”
Li Ruijie shook his head helplessly, "How can these two be compared together? If you can't answer the homework, you will be given a ruler at most, and if you fail the palace exam, you have to wait another three years. How many three years can there be..."
"Three years is three years, what's the big deal? So many old scholars have come to Beijing for the exam three years after three years, and they are unwilling to give up lightly... Um, or do you mean that you don't want to take the official career?"
Young master Xiaojie's eyes moved, and he looked at the man in front of him in a little surprise.
In Shen Jun's heart, it was as if he was holding a bright mirror, and he immediately realized that he was ugly. He stepped forward and put Li Ruijie's shoulders, and smiled.
"Don't think about what you have and what you don't have. The palace test comes first, and you have to work hard to finish the test. As for whether you are in the middle or not, it's up to you to make things happen. Don't worry about it. You can't control it. That's all for the future. It’s over. Right now, we have to fight hard for a while, otherwise we won’t be able to explain to the county magistrate when we go back, and we can avoid regrets many years later, right?”
☆, Chapter 41
The imperial examination, which determines the future direction of the students of the Song Dynasty, has finally officially opened.
In view of the fact that the number of students who went to Beijing to take the exam this year was more than twice that of last year, the officials of the Ministry of Rituals specially ordered a re-examination on the eighth day before the official exam.As soon as the results came out, thousands of candidates were abruptly brushed down.
Li Ruijie and Sun Hongxuan were lucky enough to pass the test smoothly.And the group of students who failed the re-examination could only leave Bianjing City full of unwillingness and helplessness.Among them, there were even fifteen scholars with extremely poor psychological endurance. Unable to withstand such setbacks, they jumped into the Bian River to commit suicide, and six of them drowned.
The more than 2000 people who have successfully passed the customs are not easy. What awaits them is an eight-day closed exam.In the end, there are only less than 200 people who can get the title of the gold list as they wish, and the other more than 800 students can only come to Bianjing after three years of dormancy.
At dusk on the first day of the exam, the first examinee was taken away from the exam hall because of physical discomfort.At midnight, four other examinees were forcibly carried out of the examination hall by the guards because they fainted.
On the second day, a total of twelve candidates gave up the exam due to various reasons. On the third day, the number quickly soared to 36. On the fourth day, the number of candidates who quit the exam was more than double the number of the previous three days.
There was sobbing in front of the entrance of the examination hall.Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years, but all his achievements fell short.The scholars who woke up all beat their chests and screamed, begging for another chance to let them enter the examination hall and continue to finish the papers.The guarding soldiers still had an indifferent expression on their faces, holding weapons firmly in front of the gate, without any accommodation.
"How many is this?"
Looking out through the small window of the carriage, Shen Jun looked worried.
In other families, one person went to the exam and the whole family was anxious, but in his own family, two bastards entered the exam institute. Shen Jun's anxiety was naturally doubled.And in the morning, a candidate died suddenly while answering the test paper. Such a big living person walked into the gate of the examination institute, and when he came out, he became a dead body. How could it not be heartbreaking!The three servants of the bitter master's family cried hoarsely and their hearts were broken on the spot, it was really pitiful.Shen Jun was also in a panic at the time, wishing he could rush into the examination hall and get those two bastards out.
"It's the 150th and the third, and it's not dark yet, so I guess it will break [-] today." Xiao Anzi said.
"Two were killed violently, and three were insane. This is a life-threatening test! I don't know what kind of situation those two little bastards are in there. I'm so worried!"
"There are still two days left, master, please be patient." Xiao Anzi fanned his master and comforted him, "It's a good sign that Mr. Jie and Fourth Young Master are not coming out yet. They are staying in the examination institute." The longer the time, the more likely it is to write amazing articles, at least better than those who quit halfway, maybe in the end our two young masters won the first prize, the second place, and the third prize, that would be so glorious!"
"It's easy to say! I'm afraid I didn't get the fame, but I lost my life, bah bah bah! I'm a crow mouth!"
As soon as the words were finished, the gate of the examination institute slowly opened again, and two more candidates were escorted out by the guards.
"Xu Ming, Sun Hongxuan, the family members of the above two candidates come here quickly!"
The official from the Ministry of Rites shouted three times indifferently, then turned around and returned to the examination institute.Hearing the word 'Sun Hongxuan', Shen Jun's heart suddenly jumped violently once or twice, and then he hurriedly led Xiao Anzi, Xiao Yuanzi, Xiao Shunzi and the two little ones who came to Bianjing City with Sun Hongxuan. The five servants hurried towards the gate of the examination institute.
When a group of six people arrived in front of the main gate of the examination institute, Sun Hongxuan was still somewhat conscious and called out "Big Brother" in a low voice. How long have you been struggling in it before.
"Yuanzi, hurry up! Go to the medical clinic and ask for a doctor! Please go directly to the mansion!"
"Yes!" Xiao Yuanzi Deling immediately ran out with a nervous expression on his face.
"Anzi, Shunzi, you two continue to stay here, just in case Xiaojie makes any mistakes!"
The two servants, De Ling, also nodded cautiously.
Shen Jun and the other two servants quickly picked up Sun Hongxuan and went straight to the carriage, and then the coachman slammed his whip hard on the horse's back, only to hear a "pop", and the horse was in pain on the spot. There was a neighing sound, the horse's hooves galloped, and the four wheels of the cart turned immediately, carrying the two brothers to the direction of the Sun's residence.
"Brother... I failed the exam..."
In the carriage, Sun Hongxuan closed his eyes, choked up with sobs and expressed frustration.
Stretching out his hand to touch the boy's hot forehead, Shen Jun frowned slightly: "Stop thinking about it when everyone is out, relax, take care of your health, the road ahead is still long."
Two pieces of thick ice were prepared in advance in the carriage, which was originally used to chill the sour plum soup. Although most of it had melted away, the water was still cold, which was just right for soaking a towel and applying it to Sun Hongxuan's forehead to cool down. Otherwise, Shen Jun was really worried about the high fever. This burns the brains of the latter.
"Daddy has always had very high expectations for me. When he was dying, he repeatedly told me to work hard to get a good reputation and add glory to the Sun family, but I... I..." The man did not flick his tears, but he did not arrive. In the sad place, the young man burst into tears between words.
Now that the tears were shed, the grief and indignation pent up in the young man's heart found a place to vent, and Shen Jun felt much more at ease in his heart.
Shen Jun didn't know how to comfort others, and he couldn't feel the grief after losing the imperial examination. But I really don't know what to do.
Fortunately, the fourth brother of the compatriot did not make such a degrading move, but wept sadly afterwards, with a certain degree of concentration.
In addition, this time Sun Hongxuan was able to bear the physical discomfort and insist on answering the papers until he was finally discovered by the examiner and forced to leave the examination hall by the guards.With this persistence and tenacity alone, Shen Jun couldn't help but feel a little bit of admiration for this innocent little brother.
After another two days, the imperial examination finally came to an end.
After eight days of hell-like torment, all the reference students walked out of the entrance of the examination institute in groups, either sad or happy.As if telepathically, Shen Jun quickly found Li Ruijie with a frustrated face in the crowd, and immediately led his servants to meet him.
Seeing Shen Jun running straight in his direction from a distance, Mr. Xiaojie couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and the previous depression disappeared without a trace.
Everything seemed to reappear from yesterday, and the scene of the two meeting at the bank of the Bianjing River after a long absence that day was rewinded and repeated.But seeing Shen Jun galloping through the crowd, running wildly all the way, how many insteps he stepped on, how many shoulders he bumped, and how many reprimands and curses he attracted, he didn't care at all.Until finally standing firmly in front of Li Ruijie, Shen Jun immediately raised his eyebrows and showed a signature exclusive smirk expression, and then he opened his arms and hugged his sweetheart who was still standing there tightly into his arms.
A long sigh seemed to contain endless satisfaction, and seemed to express the endless worries smoldering in his heart. Shen Jun rested his chin on Young Master Xiaojie's left shoulder, and gently rubbed his left cheek against the other's left cheek, with a very intimate demeanor.
Mr. Xiaojie smiled in a low voice, and patted Shen Jun on the back: "Xiaosheng didn't pass the exam, why don't you hurry up and comfort me, a frustrated person? Young Master Sun is really too ruthless!"
ruthless?I'm worried to death!
As if grabbing the opponent's waist for revenge, Shen Jun leaned close to Li Ruijie's ear and smiled, "Are you tired?"
"The body is not tired, but the heart is tired." Li Ruijie smiled wryly while hiding his head sideways.
Hearing this, a meaningful smile flashed in Shen Jun's eyes, and the two of them met their eyes, and in an instant, a strange feeling rushed straight to Li Ruijie's heart.
The moon hangs on the treetops, like the pearl left behind in the world; the stars are all over the sky, no one can count them. At that time, the night was already dark, but people were still awake.
In the backyard of Shen's mansion, dozens of fireflies were chasing and frolicking slowly, and the stars were dotted with stars, reflecting the stars and the moon in the sky.The rooms in the West Wing are brightly lit by candlelight, and there are people in pairs.
Li Ruijie writes lightly, but sees the young man's expression focused, the brush strokes are flat or round, stay or heavy or change, and the ink on the rice paper is either light or thick or broken or splashed or stained or scorched or sleepy. It's almost finished.
Looking at the new works, Mr. Xiaojie seemed very satisfied, and couldn't help smiling.After writing and stamping, his eyes moved slightly, only then did he realize that Shen Jun, who was lying beside the desk, had fallen asleep.Stretching out his hand and pushing the opponent's shoulder, Shen Jun raised his head with sleepy eyes.
"Did you draw it?"
Previously, he had to stay in the wing room to see how to paint, and he said he was half a painter, but he fell asleep halfway through, and Mr. Xiaojie looked helpless.
"Well, the chapter just finished will be framed tomorrow." After looking at the new painting again, Li Ruijie continued, "It's late at night, you should go back to your room to rest."
"If you don't go back, you'll be so sleepy you won't be able to move your legs, so I'll just sleep in your room tonight."
Li Ruijie was taken aback, "How about I call Xiao Anzi to help you back?"
"Anzi and the others have already gone to bed, and tonight it's just the two of us in this yard~" While speaking, Shen Jun got up and walked behind Young Master Xiaojie, wrapping his arms around the latter's waist lightly, "Don't pretend to be confused , I hinted at you outside the entrance of the examination hall in the evening."
Li Ruijie's face was flushed, his eyes flickered, "I..."
With a smile in his eyes, Shen Jun supported Li Ruijie's waist and forced the latter to turn around. The two faced each other and looked at each other.
"Really unwilling?"
Li Ruijie was a little flustered, and quickly looked away from the two of them, not daring to answer.
With a low laugh, he leaned forward and pressed a light kiss on Li Ruijie's cheek. At the same time, Shen Jun slowly loosened his belt with ten fingers.Summer House was already dressed in cool clothes, but in just a moment, Shen Jun was standing in front of Li Ruijie completely naked.
But seeing the young man's condensed muscles and jade body, and his eyes full of emotion, it will directly captivate the soul.
"Are you still reluctant?" The deep voice was mixed with a charming voice, with a half-smile and half-smile and complaint, how many people could bear to refuse.
With his eyes tightly closed, Mr. Xiaojie began to sweat profusely on his forehead, his face was flushed, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated 'bang bang bang bang bang', but he remained silent and did not respond.
"That's all, it's a waste of shame and shame to flirt with a stupid bastard who doesn't know how to flirt, so let's go back and rest~"
After speaking, Shen Jun stepped back and tried to leave, but Li Ruijie suddenly opened his eyes and reached out to grab his right wrist tightly.Shen Jun smiled and took another step back, and was immediately pulled back by Li Ruijie forcibly. In a blink of an eye, Shen Jun was tightly hugged by Li Ruijie, unable to escape.The latter's heavy snort rushed straight into Shen Jun's eardrums in an instant.
"A spring night is worth a thousand gold, what are you waiting for?"
Looking at Shen Jun with smiling eyes, listening to the other party's playful tone.The heart is flustered, the mind is chaotic, and the feeling is getting stronger!In the end, Young Master Xiaojie couldn't help himself anymore, and he seemed to be possessed by a demon on the spot, kissing the naked boy in front of him frantically...
☆, Chapter 42
In the early morning, the birds were chirping non-stop in the Shen Mansion's back garden, full of vitality.
In the west wing, Li Ruijie was sitting on the edge of the bed, reaching out his hands to gently rub Shen Jun's back.Shen Jun squinted his eyes and lay naked on the bed.Just by looking at the hickey marks all over the back, you can tell how "tragic" the fierce battle between the two of them was last night. Now I can only hear the naked boy moaning and chirping from time to time, and I don't know whether it is comfort or pain.
"Little bastard! You usually look like a gentleman, but I didn't expect you to be like a wild beast when you are in love!" With a bitter face, Shen Jun said angrily, "I almost killed you on this bed last night! "
Young Master Xiaojie was ashamed. Thinking of the glamorous scene last night, his body and mind were unbearably restless. He could only lower his head quickly and rub his hands harder on the naked boy's waist.
"How did you feel last night?" Squeezing Li Ruijie's cheek with his backhand, Shen Jun continued to tease, "I'm asking you something! Don't pretend to be dumb! Did you have a good time with me last night?"
Hearing this, Li Ruijie's cheeks turned red on the spot, his expression was three points shy, three points angry, and four points helpless.
"Why are you so, so..."
"Why can you say everything out of your mouth, why are you so stinky and shameless?" Shen Jun raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's not the first day I met me, my son came out of the womb with this virtue, a sentence So, tell me whether you like it or not, right?"
He turned his face awkwardly and looked out the window, Young Master Xiaojie blushed and nodded.
"Very, very fond of..."
"That's it!" Stretching out his hand and forcefully pulling Li Ruijie to lie down on his side, Shen Jun looked smug, "Sexy man! The more you are like this, the more I love to tease you, hehehehe~" Before the words finished, he suddenly grasped Young master Xiaojie's lower body was firm and he started to play with it, and the latter couldn't help but tremble all over again.
"It's time to get up, don't mess around!" Li Ruijie's expression collapsed.
"I really don't want it? I've become so hard and I'm still holding back, I'm not afraid of holding back~"
Li Ruijie struggled for a while, and finally blushed and said, "I want to..."
"Say it earlier~"
After finishing speaking, Shen Jun smiled and put a kiss on Li Ruijie's lips, and then slowly kissed Young Master Xiaojie's chin, neck, chest, and abdomen all the way until finally reaching the hidden forest...
Three days after the scientific examination ended, most of the candidates who had no hope of making it to the rankings had already returned home one after another.Candidates who thought they performed well remained in Bianjing City, waiting for the imperial court to release the gold list.
In the early morning of this day, brothers Shen Jun and Sun Hongxuan were having breakfast in the lobby.
"It's been more than half a month since we left Changyang City. When are you planning to leave for home?" Shen Junmao asked casually after biting a bun.
Sun Hongxuan drank the soy milk with his head sullen, looked up at his elder brother with a guilty conscience, and then saw the boy reach out his hand like lightning and suddenly grabbed the fifth egg pancake from the plate, brought it to his mouth and started chewing it.
Such a big piece of cake was gloriously sacrificed in the blink of an eye. In the end, the boy burped loudly on the spot. Before the calculation was over, Sun Hongxuan glanced at his elder brother again, stretched out his hand, and took the last piece of cake on the plate. Zhang omelette also grabbed it.
"Why didn't you see Ruijie come over to have breakfast with elder brother today?" With a shy face, Sun Hongxuan talked about him, "Has he not gotten up yet?"
"Xiaojie went out to visit Mr. Wen Lin early in the morning, and he probably won't be back until dusk." Shen Jun had a gentle face.
"Mr. Wenlin? Is that the old master who is known as the 'painting idiot' in Bianjing?" Sun Hongxuan's eyes lit up immediately, and he stretched out his hand to grab the three hemp balls from the plate. Even today, His Majesty praises Mr. Wen Lin! By the way, how did the two of them know each other?"
Shen Jun smiled, "Since we are called 'painting idiots', of course it is because of painting. The night before yesterday, I ordered Anzi to send a new painting and a letter of greeting to Liao's mansion. At noon yesterday, Mr. Wenlin sent someone to deliver Here is an invitation to invite Xiaojie to visit the house."
"Oh! So, the old master wants to accept Rui's masterpiece as a closed disciple?" Hearing this, Sun Hongxuan looked envious, and stretched out his hand to grab two more fried dough sticks from the plate.
"It's possible... tsk! Don't eat it, you'll be reincarnated as a starving ghost! It's like you've never seen food in your previous life! Let me ask you something, when will you return to Changyang City?"
"Whenever Li Ruijie goes back, I will go back!" While speaking, Sun Hongxuan picked up another piece of watermelon from the plate, and began to eat it with a snort.
Shen Jun frowned, "It will take some time for the court to release the list and worship Mr. Wenlin as a teacher. Xiaojie will definitely not be able to go back in the short term."
"Pull it down! It's not because you are reluctant to let Ruijie go back, big brother, so you have to try to keep Ruijie!" Sun Hongxuan squinted at his big brother with contempt on his face.
"Since you understand everything, why do you insist on staying with me?"
Sun Hongxuan raised his eyebrows, and said quietly, "I'm happy here, I don't think about Shu~"
"I don't miss your sister! This is not the Sun Mansion, and I'm not very familiar with you. What's the point of living here for free? I owe you?" Shen Jun stood up slowly, with his left hand on his hip, Pointing at Sun Hongxuan's nose with his right hand, "Go back to Changyang City early tomorrow morning, don't let me see you again!"
"No! I won't go back to Changyang City!" Sun Hongxuan turned his head, stubbornly stubborn, "Elder brother is like a father! My father is gone, so you have to take care of me, elder brother, and you must be 'meticulous', 'careful', It's only natural to take care of me with 'considerate care'!"
Shen Jun's eyes widened, and he was about to go mad at that time, "Your brother Sun Hongyu is in Changyang City, and your mother is also in Changyang City. When will it be my turn to take care of you, the fourth young master of the Sun family? You, you In the end, you still have to be shameless!"
"No more!" Sun Hongxuan looked at Shen Jun with an aggrieved face, and said, "This is also what my father told me when he was dying. He asked me to hang out with you and learn from you...Brother, you treat Li Ruijie like that." Enthusiastic, it is enviable to look at, I am your fourth younger brother with the same surname, a family member! It is enough for the elder brother to give Hongxuan half of his love..."
"You two are different! Tsk... just rely on me not wanting to leave, and carry the old man out, you, you are just..."
Seeing Shen Jun's angry expression, Sun Hongxuan was also anxious, "Brother, Hongxuan really didn't lie to you! If you don't believe me, why don't you ask Dad to come and talk to you tonight?"
Hearing this, Shen Jun was taken aback for a moment, then gasped sharply, and saw him take off his shoes as soon as he lifted his right leg.
Sun Hongxuan's face changed suddenly, and he quickly grabbed two more hemp balls and a piece of watermelon from the plate, turned his head, turned around, and rushed out of the lobby as if his butt was on fire, and ran straight to the front hall.
Shen Jun chased and scolded all the way with his shoes in his hands: "You bastard! Stop! Eat my food, drink my food, live in my food and use my food! You stay at my house and don't leave, and you dare to curse me to the west! See if I don't beat you today! You little bastard is half dead! Don't run!"
Shen Jun, who was relied on, was extremely distressed, and made up his mind to send Sun Hongxuan back to his hometown in Changyang City. However, two days later, a piece of news suddenly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Bianjing City.It is said that there were three consecutive homicides in the outskirts of Bianjing City. A group of highway robbers armed and robbed a passing business convoy in broad daylight, and killed 26 people. One of them was a certain rich man who was going to Beijing to rush for an exam.
Dare to commit three major crimes in a row at the feet of the emperor, you will know how daring these gangsters are.And because the murder case has not yet been solved, he was worried that something might happen to Sun Hongxuan on his return trip, and Nian Bo repeatedly pleaded for mercy, so Shen Jun acquiesced in allowing Sun Hongxuan to continue to stay in Shen's residence.
On the other side, Li Ruijie was quite appreciated by Mr. Wen Lin, a 'painterly idiot', and the latter really took the former as a closed disciple just as Sun Hongxuan expected.As a result, Li Ruijie spent most of his day in the Liao Mansion studying painting with Mr. Wenlin.Shen Jun, who was guarding the vacant room by himself, suddenly seemed a little lonely and impatient again.
In the middle of the night, as usual, the two of them washed up and lay down on the bed side by side after having sex.
"As soon as the results of the gold list come out tomorrow, I will write a letter from my family and send it to Changyang City to report my safety." Looking at the hollowed-out mosquito net, Young Master Xiaojie murmured, "I just don't know if my parents will agree with me to stay. I studied painting in Bianjing."
"Don't worry! With Mr. Wenlin's famous name, everyone in the Northern Song Dynasty doesn't know who doesn't know? If you are lucky enough to be his closed disciple, if you ask me, this is not inferior to being named on the gold list." Mr. Wen Lin is like a disciple, and Shen Jun looks proud, "The county magistrate will definitely be happy for you after receiving the letter."
Li Ruijie smiled, turned sideways and kissed Shen Jun on the forehead, "All the credit for this matter must be attributed to you, otherwise, I would not dare to send the painting directly to the Liao Mansion for Mr. Wenlin to appreciate , let alone become the old master's closed disciple."
"Thank me and kiss me again~" Shen Jun winked at Li Ruijie.
Hearing this, Li Ruijie immediately leaned closer and kissed him on the cheek again, "I've heard you talk about 'Northern Song Dynasty' all the time these two days, could it be possible that there are still 'Southern Song Dynasty', 'Eastern Song Dynasty', and 'Western Song Dynasty' in this world? "
"You don't understand this! I don't know astronomy at the top, geography at the bottom, and even more ignorance of astrology and fortune-telling, but I can deduce historical changes thousands of years ago and predict changes in the world thousands of years later. This 'Southern Song Dynasty' In fact, it is the new dynasty established after the fall of the 'Northern Song Dynasty'. How about it? Little handsome boy, let me ask you if you are afraid?"
"You're talking nonsense to me again..." Mr. Xiaojie muttered, reaching out to pull the boy into his arms.
"Hey, what do you think of us opening a clothing store in the capital?" Shen Jun suddenly asked again.
Li Ruijie thought for a while, "The Sun family doesn't have the slightest foundation in Bianjing City, and the right time, place, people, and any one of them don't have an advantage. It may not be easy to make it big." After a pause, he yawned and said, "Business You, the young master of the Sun family, know more than I do, so make up your own mind... Be good, it's late at night, close your eyes and go to sleep..."
☆, Chapter 43
On the day when the gold list was announced, Li Ruijie's name could not be found on the list.
The result was as expected. Li Ruijie only felt a little regret in his heart, not half sad, but more relaxed and relieved. Afterwards, a letter from Mr. Xiaojie was sent to Changyang City by the post envoy, while he remained in the Bianjingcheng studied painting with Mr. Wenlin.
More than half a month later, a clothing store named 'Yinqu Siting' quietly opened in the west of Bianjing.
People in the Song Dynasty liked to have their clothes custom-made because they lacked the concept of size, so there was no shop selling ready-made new clothes in the streets and alleys.If you want to add new clothes, from the common people to the royal relatives, you must first buy suitable fabrics from the cloth shop, and then have them sewed by the skilled women at home, or spend some money and have a full-time tailor do it for you.
'Yinqu Siting' was the first to sell finished clothes, which naturally attracted the attention of the people in Bianjing. However, what attracted more attention than this was the ready-to-wear styles in the store.Han culture has been passed down to the Northern Song Dynasty for thousands of years, and the popular traditional clothing is definitely Hanfu, but the styles sold by 'Yinqusiting' are quite different from Hanfu.
The main features of Hanfu are cross-collar (the two skirts of the clothes intersect left and right), right gusset (the left front skirt is covered with the right armpit belt, and the right skirt is covered inside), and it is tied with a rope instead of buttons. Young people can show a kind of free and easy beauty.
The clothes sold by 'Yinqusiting' have completely abandoned the design of cross-collar and right lapel. It is just like a piece of cloth folded in half and then sewn together, and then cut out three small, one large and four holes. A rather odd name - 'T-shirt'.
People in Bianjing City came here just to find out, and there was a lot of people in 'Yinqusiting'. However, the sales volume of the store on the first day of opening was quite bleak.
"Six pieces?" Shen Jun stared at the account book with rounded eyes, and Shen Jun was almost dumbfounded, "Didn't it mean that customers rushed into our store one by one like stealing money, trampling on the threshold? Are you done? Why did you only sell so much in one day?"
Xiao Anzi curled his lips, "A lot of people came into the store, I guess there are eight or nine hundred if there is no one thousand, but they are all just spectators who come to see novelties, ask things, but don't see them. How many people really took out their money to buy one or two pieces back..."
Shen Jun frowned, "What questions did they ask?"
"That's too much. People often ask questions like 'How to wear and take off this T-shirt', 'Is it a lining or an outer cover', and customers don't quite know what a T-shirt is. Womenswear and menswear, which is also the most frequently asked question.”
"Well...Anzi, you and Kang Shun quickly recruit eight handsome, well-proportioned young men in the city, and agree to hire them for three days and give them five taels of silver every day."
Hearing this, it was Xiao Anzi's turn to be dumbfounded this time, and the boy was obviously taken aback, "Master! Eight young men? Could it be a little bit more..."
"Eight is not much, I haven't finished talking yet! After that, you two will go to Lingque Tower again, and also recruit eight beautiful women, for three days, and give silver every day..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Anzi suddenly knelt down at Shen Jun's feet with a plop, which shocked Shen Jun a lot.
"Oh! What's the matter? Get up!" Shen Jun blinked at Xiao Anzi, his face full of doubts, "If you have something to say, why are you still crying?"
"Master, you must not do it!" Pulling his master's trouser legs, Xiao Anzi burst into tears and snot, "Eight 86, you can't bear it with your small body! You still have to pack for three days , if you don’t need it for half a day, you will have to be squeezed out of your life by them! Master! It’s not a big deal if the shop doesn’t make money.
Shen Jun's face was almost green, and he lifted Xiao Anzi up. Just about to start the training, the door suddenly creaked and was slowly pushed open from the outside.
Following the sound, I saw Sun Hongxuan opening his mouth 'O' at the door, Nian Bo, Xiao Yuanzi, Xia Yun brothers and sisters behind him, and even the six servants in the mansion all looked stunned.
Sun Hongxuan's eyes lit up, and he was trembling with excitement: "No wonder daddy wants me to learn from elder brother! One masters sixteen! As expected, elder brother is the best!"
The corner of Shen Jun's mouth twitched, and he rushed to kill Sun Hongxuan with the ledger in hand...
Three days later, hundreds of onlookers gathered in front of the shop of 'Yinqusiting'.Everyone's eyes were full of curiosity, and they talked non-stop.There was a wooden sign in front of the shop's gate, with the words "No Entry" written in bold bold characters.A two-meter-wide red carpet extends from the bottom of the sign all the way forward, about ten meters away.
Not long after, Xiao Yuanzi and Xiao Anzi ran to the door of the shop dragging firecrackers one behind the other.Seeing this, the onlookers retreated one after another, and the discussion became more and more heated. They all guessed what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the owner of 'Yinqu Siting'.
But seeing Xiao Yuanzi take out a firecracker from his pocket and blow it a little, immediately, the two boys hurriedly threw down the firecrackers, ran back into the shop with their heads in their arms, and closed the shop door. "Crackling" exploded everywhere, and the crumbs of the firecrackers were scattered everywhere.When the firecrackers were burned out and the smoke dissipated halfway, suddenly fifty musicians rushed over from all parts of the street towards 'Yin Que Si Ting' while playing musical instruments. It was very lively.
At this time, the store door of 'Yinqusiting' opened for the second time.
Amidst the smog, a handsome man and a beautiful woman appeared in front of the store at the same time. They walked hand in hand on the red carpet.
The two were wearing weird clothes sold in the 'Yinqusiting' store. This kind of clothes clearly outlined the tall and strong man and the graceful and graceful woman. Coupled with the appearance of the two, it was very seductive at first glance. He could no longer look away.
The bustling streets suddenly became silent, but only in an instant, like a frying pan exploded suddenly, people from far and near rushed towards the 'Yinqusiting' shop.
The handsome men and women had just walked three meters away along the red carpet, and a second group of handsome men and women holding hands appeared behind them.Different and eye-catching, but because of the strange clothes with slightly different styles, most of the eyes of the people are forcibly drawn from the handsome men and beautiful women.
There was a burst of boiling among the crowd, exclaiming!
Everyone seems to have discovered a new world in an instant, and their eyes are shining!
The handsome men and beautiful women walked out three meters, and the third group of evil men and charming women also appeared from behind the door, followed by the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth groups.Until the eight groups of men and women showed up one by one, walk the show back and forth along the red carpet twice, and then retreat into the shop.Xiao Yuanzi immediately removed the "No Entry" wooden sign standing in front of the gate of "Yinqu Siting".Seeing this, the crowd of onlookers and the common people flocked into the store one after another.
On the second floor of the store, Shen Jun stood at the end of the stairs with his hands behind his back and a smile.
Seeing the successful transaction of each product on the first floor and being taken out of the shop by the customers, the young man was obviously in a good mood.From time to time, Shen Jun turned his head and whispered a few words to Sun Hongxuan who was standing beside him, as if he was imparting some experience.The latter kept nodding his head in agreement, and looked at the elder brother with admiration in his eyes.
The business of the shop is quite booming, and the number of products sold in three days has reached [-].
However, to Shen Jun's perplexity, he searched the streets and alleys but found no one wearing the 'Yinqu Siting' costume ostentatiously.After the messenger asked, they found out that the customers bought them back as sexy clothes, and only wore them when they were making out.
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Shen Jun immediately thought of a good idea to make money...
Picking up the pen to collect the ink, Mr. Xiaojie was full of question marks, "The drawing is finished, now you have to tell me what the painting is about?"
Holding up the rice paper and blowing on the wet ink, Shen Jun raised his eyebrows, "This is the legendary mimi mask~"
"Secret cover?" Li Ruijie was still confused, "What secret?"
