Son Mo

Material grabbed the chest of Mr. Xiaojie, Shen Jun chuckled, "Fool! This part is 'Mimi', understand?"

Hearing this, Li Ruijie immediately showed a shocked expression, staring straight at the rice paper.

"Just two small circles are considered a piece of clothing? This is too indecent! The ghost is willing to wear this to go out and embarrass others!"

"What do you know~ The mimi cover is not worn on the outside, it has to be close to the flesh and worn on the inside, this thing can only be worn by women, it's like an improved version of the bellyband."

Young Master Xiaojie still had an unacceptable expression on his face, he turned his head sideways and covered his eyes, as if he was afraid that he would lose his sight if he took another look.

Shen Jun had a smirk on his face, and he was about to break Li Ruijie's hand, "Such a young man, why are you ashamed! This is drawn by you yourself, come here, come here, take a second look and make up your mind, imagine that there is a beautiful woman standing in front of you , isn’t it very sexy to wear such a boob cover? Uh huh?”

"Don't look!" Li Ruijie dodged left and right, embarrassed and annoyed, "No wonder I kept hiding it and refused to tell me what the painting was. If I knew it was such a thing, I wouldn't have written it! It's really, really humiliating! Don't make trouble! I don't want to see it!"

The two teenagers frolicked and pushed and shoved from the desk to the edge of the bed.Immediately afterwards, Shen Jun pushed Li Ruijie down on the bamboo mat with all his strength, looking at someone who was about to 'receive' his sex.

At this time, Nianbo coughed suddenly and horribly outside the door, and the two people on the bed paused.

"Young master, there is a guest waiting in the front hall." Uncle Nian reported.

Shen Jun raised his head and said in the direction of the door: "Whose guest? Is it looking for Xiaojie or me?" While speaking, he did not forget to squeeze Li Ruijie's itchy waist, and the latter immediately twisted into a ball.

"I'm here to find you, young master."

Shen Jun was taken aback, thinking that he didn't know anyone in Bianjing, and he never showed up in business dealings, so who would come to visit?After thinking about it again, the face of Prince Yi appeared in his mind.

"But Lord Yi is here?" Shen Jun asked suspiciously.

"It's not Prince Yi..." The voice outside the door paused, the old housekeeper seemed to hesitate, and then said after a moment of silence, "It's the Fourth Concubine and Master Yun who are here."

☆, Chapter 44

Back then, when he was forced to leave Changyang City by his cheap father, Shen Jun really felt resentful.After settling down in Bianjing City two months ago, and learning that the old man had deposited a large sum of silver in advance for himself in major banks in the capital, Shen Jun was deeply moved again, so much so that Sun Hongxuan could not hold back Let's go, he just turned a blind eye and closed one eye, not too harsh.

However, at this moment, when he looked at Shen Yun, who was eating all kinds of things, and the fourth concubine who was crying and complaining about the tragic experience in the past two months, Shen Jun had a serious face, and suddenly realized in his heart: what happened? Thunderbolt's old stuff!When he was alive, it was fine to ignore him, but before he died, he actually plotted against him once!

"At that time, I thought that Caiyixing was still the property of the Sun family. Sun Hongyu would always come to the rescue when encountering such an insurmountable hurdle. Caiyixing was forcibly taken away!"

Speaking of the sad part, the fourth aunt was already crying with pear blossoms and rain, and she shed tears, "Caiyi Xing was the life support left by the master to A Yun and me, and that guy was so cruel that he broke my mother and daughter. There is no way out! My mother and son are really desperate, there is no other way, so I have come to the capital from a long distance to join you, young master..."

Shen Jun smiled coldly, "Fourth Aunt really thinks she has a lot of face! Going to me? You can say such shameless words, and you are not afraid to slip your tongue! How did Fourth Aunt make things difficult for me in the Sun Mansion back then? You forgot, but I still remember it!"

Fourth Aunt's expression froze, she quickly lowered her head, and kept twisting the handkerchief with her ten fingers.

Without heavy make-up and fine clothes, the fourth concubine is no longer the arrogant rich concubine she used to be, and she can no longer exert a bit of prestige.

"Remember, I remember..." Fourth Aunt murmured with her head down, "The things I did in the Sun Mansion these years were indeed extremely excessive. That's also a reason..."

Shen Jun frowned slightly, "What are your difficulties?"

Hearing this, the fourth aunt raised her head and smiled sadly at Shen Jun, "Ah Yun was found by the doctor to be mentally immature on her second birthday, and since then I have completely lost the favor of the master. Broken, until the master passed away, he never set foot in Lanfangju again."

"For ten years, more than 3000 days and nights, Ah Yun has never seen the master, and I can only see the master a few times on the big festivals, but he doesn't even want to look at me! Chunhua Yi Xie, a confidante who is easy to grow old, orphans and widowed mothers are so ruthlessly thrown in Lanfangju to fend for themselves, in fact, the situation is not much better than that of you, Eldest Young Master."

Shen Jun kept his face blank, but remained silent.

"In order to survive, I can only do everything possible to please Dongyuan. Try to figure out their likes and dislikes, and make things difficult for you everywhere against your conscience. All this is for the second aunt and Sun Hongyu to see. I just want them to be happy for a while, and can Show mercy and give a little favor to my mother and son."

"No matter what you say now, it's useless!" Standing up from the grand teacher's chair, Shen Jun had a cold expression on his face, "At the beginning, in order to please Dongyuan, he made things difficult for me, but now it is considered kindness not to hit you! My Shenfu Temple is too small to tolerate it. You great Bodhisattva!"

Hearing the refusal in the other party's words, the fourth aunt hurriedly pulled Sun Yun to kneel down in front of Shen Jun, with a flustered expression on her face: "Xin Yushan knows that she has committed a serious crime, so she dare not ask for a half-sentence of forgiveness, let alone be shameless. Stay in your mansion. But Ah Yun was born innocent and has never done anything harmful to nature. I just hope that the young master will not blame my fault on this child. I only hope that the young master can see my brothers. For the sake of love, I will reward Ah Yun for a few mouthfuls of food in this life, and my mother and son will make grass knots in the next life to repay your kindness..."

After finishing speaking, the fourth aunt leaned over and slammed on the hard slate with tears streaming down her face. The sound of her forehead hitting the slate echoed in Shen Jun's lobby. After a while, dozens of bright red drops splashed on the slate.

Shen Yun on the side was still at a loss at first, but mother and child are born with a heart-to-heart connection. Even if Xiao Pangdun is so mentally retarded, her mother's grief immediately affected Sun Yun's emotions. It didn't take long for Xiao Pangdun to open his mouth and wow burst into tears.

It was as if there was a cloud of turbid air in his chest, which he couldn't swallow or spit out.He opened his mouth, but Shen Jun didn't say anything to send the mother and son away, and he didn't say anything to agree to take in Shen Yun. Then he saw the boy frowning and suddenly turned around and left with his sleeves.

As soon as Shen Jun walked away, the Nian uncle who hadn't spoken for a long time leaned over and supported the fourth aunt's arm, and said: "The young master has a hurdle in his heart, we need to allow some time for him to think about it."

The fourth aunt looked at the old housekeeper with tears in her eyes, and her figure shook slightly, "Uncle Nian, you said that the young master..."

"Don't worry, the young master is kind-hearted, otherwise, the master would not tell you to come to Bianjing City if you are in a desperate situation before your death."

After all, the old housekeeper shook his head and sighed, he didn't know whether he was lamenting the miserable situation of the fourth aunt, mother and son, or lamenting that Shen Jun's decision was not easy.

In the end, Shen Jun couldn't help feeling compassionate.The next afternoon, he assigned Xiao Anzi and Xueyi to find a small bungalow for the fourth concubine's mother and son in the capital, and promised to allocate some silver taels every month for the daily expenses of the mother and son.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, another year of autumn is approaching.

That night, Shen Jun took Li Ruijie to enjoy the coolness in the backyard as usual.

In the first half of the night, there was a breeze, which was very refreshing.In the middle of the night, the two of them could feel the coolness coming. However, it was precisely because of their greed for the coolness that the two teenagers would rather wrap their quilts tightly and hug each other, rather than hide in the wing room.

"Xiao Mo, I can't sleep."

Shen Jun dazedly rubbed against Li Ruijie's neck, and naturally his right hand slowly slid down the latter's abdomen, "Do you want to have another shot? Tsk, the little guys are soft..."

Li Ruijie looked at the stars in the sky and smiled wryly, "Don't do it, or you won't want to get up tomorrow."

Hearing this, Shen Jun quickly withdrew his right hand, thinking about it and felt ashamed, then grabbed the opponent's buttocks and slowly rubbed it, muttering: "As soon as you enter the door in the evening, you feel that you have something hidden in your heart, why, what will this be?" Are you finally willing to speak out?"

"Why do you know everything..." Mr. Xiaojie turned over and pressed Shen Jun under him, and the young man frowned with an angry expression on his face.

Shen Jun didn't care, he raised his hand to pat Li Ruijie's buttocks with two palms, "Tell me, what happened to make you so entangled."

"Mr. Wenlin invited me to a banquet eight days ago, remember?"

Shen Jun closed his eyes and thought for a while, "Well, you came back very late that day."

"At the banquet that day, I met many dignitaries in Bianjing City. Among them was a royal painter. He and Mr. Wen Lin were quite old friends. Before the banquet, Mr. Wen Lin specially asked the painter to introduce me to the Holy One " said Li Ruijie.

"What?" Shen Jun was startled, and immediately opened his eyes, "Such a big matter, why didn't you discuss it with me in advance?"

Mr. Xiaojie also looked annoyed, "I didn't know that this would come out of nowhere. I just took the opportunity to get to know some master painters in the capital, but I never thought... Alas! And because of Mr. Wenlin's face, I At that time, I didn’t dare to raise any objections.”

"...It's okay!" Shen Jun still felt a little lucky, "After all, you are at this age, you are not even 20 years old, and you may not be able to become a royal painter if someone recommends you..." But Li Ruijie was hesitant to speak He stopped his expression, and his heart suddenly jumped again, "What? Is this really going to happen?"

Li Ruijie nodded reluctantly, "It's probably close..."

Hearing this, Shen Jun felt his head go berserk on the spot.

Shen Jun can't be blamed for worrying, it's really because he knows Li Ruijie too well, that's why he shows such panic.From his point of view, Li Ruijie is still a young child with a simple mind, a simple mind, and even ignorant of worldly affairs.

This kind of Li Ruijie can only be well protected by himself, and once he enters the palace and becomes the royal painter, he is very likely to offend someone who cannot be offended without knowing it, and cause disaster.

The inner court of the imperial palaces of all dynasties has never been a peaceful and peaceful place!Especially in the fourth year of Tianxi in the Song Dynasty, it was widely rumored that the current sage was obsessed with pills to cultivate immortals, hoping to live forever, but the body of the sage's dragon was getting worse and worse, and his temperament changed drastically, moody.It is the most inappropriate time to enter the palace when the palace is unstable.

At the moment, Shen Jun had only one thought in his mind: he had to try his best to mess up this appointment before the letter of appointment was officially issued!

He immediately asked Li Ruijie to draw two simple pictures, then called the embroiderers from the workshop to the mansion, and ordered the embroiderers to embroider [-] sets of brocade pictures in the style of the simple pictures, and then handed over the [-] sets of brocade pictures to the tailor Three hundred pieces of mimi covers were made.

At the same time, "Yinqu Siting" made a big publicity in advance, using "Mr. Wenlin's closed disciple" as a gimmick to praise this new set of mimi cover that will be released soon.

All of a sudden, the elegant people in Bianjing City talked endlessly, saying that Mr. Wenlin's closed disciples were too overqualified and full of the smell of copper, and they did such an insulting act for such a small amount of money.On the day of the official sale, except for 84 sets of new products that were bought by the people in the city, the other 200 sets were all snatched by two brothels, 'Lingquelou' and 'Rouge Guild'.

After such a toss, Li Ruijie's reputation in Bianjing City has changed from admiration at the beginning to mixed reputation, and some good people even called Li Ruijie "brothel layman" to ridicule him. Mr. Wenlin's attitude towards him is also There is quite a shift.

Of course, all of this was done intentionally by Shen Jun. During this period, he also made a special investigation.

If you don’t check, you don’t know. If you check, you will be shocked!It turned out that the imperial palace had long wanted to recruit an imperial painter, and the chief painter was most interested in none other than Mr. Wen Lin's grandson!It was only because Mr. Wen Lin kept blocking it that it was delayed again and again.

Until Li Ruijie visited the door, Mr. Wen Lin immediately felt like a treasure, and within three months of teaching the former painting skills, he couldn't wait to push Li Ruijie out.

After learning the truth, Shen Jun gritted his teeth with hatred, cursing the old guy for being vicious, and at the same time blaming himself for acting too hastily at the beginning, accidentally pushing his sweetheart to the edge of the fire pit, and now he has done nothing No, I can only wait anxiously for the final result...

☆, Chapter 45

The result is still not out yet, but Shen Jun ushered in an unexpected guest—Yi Xiaowang Ye came to visit for the second time.

Early in the morning, the host and the guest stayed in the attic of the Shen residence for more than half an hour.

The young prince Yi looked very leisurely, with snacks and tea fruits in his mouth, staring at Shen Jun with his eyes, and from time to time he muffled his head and laughed a few times, but he didn't say a word.This frightened Shen Jun enough, and he began to wonder if this guy happened to be suffering from intermittent neuropathy, across the coffee table, and wanted to run away at any time.

"My lord..." I couldn't hold it anymore, Shen Jun shyly smiled at the little lord Chaoyi, "You took time to visit the humble house so early in the morning, but what advice do you have?"

Prince Yi raised his eyelids and glanced at Shen Jun, with a three-point smile in his eyes, "I played tricks on this prince once before, and now I've given Mr. Wen Lin a hard time. He's so sharp when he first arrived, dear brother. , you are really brave~"

Secretly moving his mind, Shen Jun thought to himself that the prince is in a high position but is open-minded, and has such a funny temperament, which is not a loss for friendship.

At that moment, Shen Jun smiled and stood up, picked up the teapot respectfully, and filled the half-empty cup in front of Prince Yi.

"Small tricks are nothing to worry about. It's really a helpless thing to do. The prince is magnanimous. If you think about it, you won't care about it like grassroots people, right?"

"You can rest assured that no matter how bad this king is, he won't be that bad." After a pause, Prince Yi said again with a wretched expression, "Then what is the relationship between Li Ruijie and you?" Give two thumbs up and compare.

Shen Jun smiled and nodded, frankly admitting.

Prince Yi suddenly turned into a look of grief and indignation, "Since you already have the owner, I won't force you any more." He squinted his eyes, and said with a smile, "Of course, if you two are no longer together, you can Remember to open my arms to my virtuous brother at any time~"

"Ha... Your lord, you are too flattering to the grassroots." Shen Jun laughed dryly.

"That's all, let's not bother you, let's talk about business!" While speaking, the prince of Yi immediately put on a nervous look, "I just got the news yesterday that the list of new painters in the imperial painting workshop has been completed. Draft, is my brother interested?"

Shen Jun's eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't help leaning forward slightly, "Please tell me something, my lord!"

"This year there are eight painters joining the workshop, all of them are young and talented. Not only are they outstanding in painting skills, but their average age is only in their early 20s," said Prince Yi.

"So young?" Shen Jun's heart skipped a beat, his eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Don't worry, your little friend Li Ruijie is not among these eight people, but then again, it is a great honor to be able to enter the palace to serve the royal family, and if you get the respect of the chief painter again, there is great hope that you will be able to rise to the top overnight. But after your tricks, I'm afraid that Li Ruijie will cut off his official career in the future."

Hearing this, Shen Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Ruijie's father was originally the county magistrate of Changyang City. I have been deeply affected by my little ears and eyes, and I have some resistance to the road of official career in my heart."

"So that's how it is..." Lord Yi looked at the young man in front of him and nodded thoughtfully, "But why does this king feel that my virtuous brother's resistance to becoming an official is stronger than that of Li Ruijie? "

Shen Jun was obviously taken aback, picked up the teacup and took a sip to hide the surprise in his eyes.What can he say?Is it possible to copy the comments made by later historians on the Song Dynasty?Tell the young and vigorous prince in front of you that although his Zhao family is prosperous on the outside, it is getting decayed and corrupted inch by inch inside?Make a list of the national heroes who died in the officialdom during the Northern and Southern Song dynasties?He dare not!

Prince Yi obviously didn't want to let it go, and his expression became very serious.

"Could it be that my virtuous brother is dissatisfied with my great Song court? Please be frank, it's just you and me here today, no matter what my virtuous brother says, this king will not pursue it."

"My lord, you are serious. How can a mere merchant know nothing about the inner court and the outer court? It is just in awe, and there is no resistance. Otherwise, how could the grassroots leave their homeland and come to this capital full of dignitaries and dignitaries? ?”

Prince Yi was skeptical, "Just because of awe?"

"Ha...Of course..." Shen Jun smiled, and cupped his hands, "Businessmen like grassroots are like rootless duckweed. It is kingly to seek money to make a living. They dare not offend powerful officials if they provoke the world. Otherwise, with one order, all the family property will be lost, and all the years of business management will be in vain, how can we not be in awe?"

"Didn't tell the truth to this king!" The royal children finally got smart this time, only to see that Prince Yi looked at Shen Jun with a hint of displeasure, "Since you understand the truth that businessmen are like apples without roots, you should try every means to get along with him." High-ranking officials seek friendship in order to gain reliance, but you first don’t cling to me, second, you don’t make friends with the capital’s dignitaries, and third, you don’t allow Li Ruijie to enter the Royal Painting Workshop, Sun Mo! What’s going on in your mind?”

Shen Jun had a feeling that he was riding a tiger on the spot. He had underestimated the young prince in front of him before, but he was right after thinking about it. The children of the royal family studied under celebrities, and the education they received was the best elite education. The degree of flexibility is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people. Today, if you want to muddle through like last time, it will not be so easy!

Just as Shen Jun was frowning and worrying about how to justify himself, suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps from the direction of the stairs.Not long after, a white-faced young eunuch ran into the attic of the Shen residence in a panic.

The eunuch bowed respectfully and whispered something in Prince Yi's ear, and Prince Yi's face immediately changed when he heard the words.The latter also didn't care about continuing to entangle with Shen Jun at the moment, got up and shook his sleeves, and went straight to the direction of the stairs in a hurry.

Something happened in the palace!

In his impression, Shen Jun vaguely remembered the nearly 300-year history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties of the Song Dynasty. Only the cause of the sudden death of the founding emperor Zhao Kuangyin was a mystery.In connection with the current situation, Shen Jun guessed that it is very likely that the current emperor's condition is getting worse.

The people in Bianjing City didn't know what happened inside the palace walls, and the streets and alleys were still bustling and noisy as usual.Two days later, the documents from the Imperial Painting Workshop were officially issued, and indeed Li Ruijie was not included in the call-up, and was replaced by Zhang Chan, the grandson of Mr. Wen Lin.It was also from this day that the Liao Mansion no longer allowed Li Ruijie to visit.

Because of this, Li Ruijie was really depressed for a while.While Shen Jun felt deeply guilty, he specially took the time to take Li Ruijie to play around Bianjing City.

There are eight most famous sights in Bianjing City: Fantai □□, Iron Tower with Clouds, Jinchi Night Rain, Zhouqiao Bright Moon, Liangyuan Snowfall, Bian River Autumn Sound, Sui Diyan Willow, and Xiangguo Frost Bell.It took the two of them three days to appreciate the beautiful scenery that can be seen in Bianjing City in September, and the resentment that had been smoldering in their hearts was finally resolved.

However, the matter is not over yet.

That evening, Shen Jun had just returned from checking the account in the store, and he was still at the entrance of the lobby, when he saw Sun Hongxuan sitting on the grand teacher's chair with his legs crossed, eyes closed, looking like he was dying.

Shen Jun pretended to cough, and Sun Hongxuan immediately opened his eyes when he heard the movement. The mouse got up and fled towards the door like a cat, but it didn't take two steps, and it seemed to get up for something, and then turned back to the lobby door , with a flattering look on his face.

"What's the matter?" Shen Jun gave Sun Hongxuan a sideways glance, abnormality is a monster, this kid has a ghost in his heart!

Sun Hongxuan nodded and bowed, and smiled, "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask if my brother is free tomorrow..."

"No." After Liang Xi said this, Shen Jun went straight to the backyard.

"Brother, brother! Big brother!" Sun Hongxuan hurried forward, "The business of the shop can be put on hold for a while, our family is not short of money, so there is no need to work so hard..."

Shen Jun frowned, "What exactly do you want to say? If you have something to say, just say what you want!"

"Well... so what, the Lin family will have a party tomorrow night, and all the young talents in Bianjing will be there, it's very lively!"

"We have half a cent to do with other people's banquets?" Shen Jun was slightly puzzled.

"I'm acquainted with the eldest son of the Lin family! Our relationship is not bad." Sun Hongxuan looked proud while speaking, "I will also participate in the party tomorrow night! You can save face~"

Shen Jun squinted his eyes, "Oh? This is quite strange, but how did you and Mr. Lin get acquainted?"

"This, this...Actually...anyway...that's it..."

"That's it? Tell the truth!"

Sun Hongxuan immediately shrank his neck, "Just six days ago, Mr. Lin helped me get rid of the siege in Rouge's boudoir..."

As soon as the words were finished, Shen Jun glared, swung his arms round and slapped Sun Hongxuan on the head twice.

Seeing this, Shen Jun became even more angry, "You've been warned repeatedly, but you just won't listen! You don't cry when you don't see the coffin, and you don't hesitate to die. I, an outsider, don't bother to worry about it anymore!" After all, I didn't bother to look at the boy again, turned around and left.

"Big brother! Big brother! This is the last time Hongxuan committed a crime!" Grabbing his elder brother's arm, Sun Hongxuan said with sincerity on his face, "I will never do it again in the future. I, Sun Hongxuan, swear to the sky that if I step into the brothel, I will never be struck by lightning." It’s so terrible...Brother, you can take time to accompany me to the Lin Mansion tomorrow night, I beg you!"

"It's been a long time, so you're waiting for me here! Mr. Lin's mansion invited you, but didn't send me a post, why should I join in the excitement?"

"Yes, yes! There is a post, here it is!" Sun Hongxuan quickly took out two invitations from his pocket and handed them over, "This is for elder brother, this is mine."

After receiving the invitation and opening it, it was indeed the names of the two people, which made Shen Jun feel even more strange.

The young man at the side strikes while the iron is hot, "Young Master Lin has heard about Big Brother for a long time, and he admires Big Brother very much. He has always wanted to make friends with him, but unfortunately he has never had the chance. Tomorrow night just happens to be a chance, and Hongxuan will also boast to Young Master Lin. Tomorrow I will definitely ask Big Brother to go over in the evening. Big Brother, if you can't do it, just treat it as a help to Hongxuan, okay?"

Shen Jun vaguely guessed something, but he was still not sure, so he was silent for a moment before he said coldly, "Just this time, don't make another example!"

Hearing this, Sun Hongxuan immediately jumped up with his hands up and cheered, and even kissed his elder brother hard on the cheek. Then, the boy ran out of the lobby in a hurry, but he didn't notice the helpless sigh that sounded in the lobby ...

☆, Chapter 46

The Lin Mansion mentioned by Sun Hongxuan is the mansion of Lin Yongzhi, a second-rank official of the dynasty and Taiwei Wen Sanguan.Shen Jun had also heard of this gathering called the 'Frustration Banquet' before.It is said that the young master of the Lin family invited a group of failed scholars from Bianjing City to participate in an entertainment banquet.It has been held in previous years, and the reputation is not bad.

As soon as night fell in the evening of the next day, Shen Jun and Sun Hongxuan took the invitation card and went to Lin's residence for a banquet.There were quite a lot of guests at the banquet that night, there were as many as eighty if not one hundred, and the two brothers also rushed to the front of the Lin residence early, but they were stopped by the Lin family servant.

"Brother, haven't you verified the invitation yet?" Sun Hongxuan asked the young servant of the Lin family with a smile on his face, "Both my brothers waited for almost a quarter of an hour, and those who came later than us probably got their seats earlier. Now, see if you can go in and help and ask..."

The servant rolled his eyes at Sun Hongxuan, and when he saw a visitor, he hurried forward to greet him, "Ouch! Young Master Zhang, you are here! Please come inside quickly, my young master is waiting!"

After welcoming Young Master Zhang into the mansion, the servant went back outside the door and waited.Seeing this, Sun Hongxuan immediately stepped forward with a smile again: "The post was handed over to me by your eldest young master, it must be correct! If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Lin directly..."

"I told you to wait, just wait, why are you talking so much nonsense!" The servant gave Sun Hongxuan a hard look, and his tone was full of disgust, "I didn't say that your post was fake, it's just that there are so many guests in the house tonight, my family The master is a second-rank member of the imperial court, so you have to verify it before letting anyone in, and besides, your two brothers are not in a hurry to reincarnate, so what if you wait for a quarter of an hour?"

There were people coming and going in the Gaozhai family, Sun Hongxuan was so sternly scolded by the young servant of the Lin family, he couldn't bear it at the moment, but it was inconvenient to attack, so he could only run to the small sedan chair resentfully and continue to wait.

Inside the car, Shen Jun was beeping, beeping, beeping, and popping melon seeds, when he suddenly said softly, "Is this the so-called friendship between you and Mr. Lin? Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's almost urinating."

"Don't laugh at me..." Sun Hongxuan drooped his head, looking sluggish, "Let's wait a little longer, there are so many people tonight, I guess Mr. Lin will be busy for a while..."

As soon as the words were finished, the curtain of the car was lifted, and Shen Jun raised his hand to beckon to Sun Hongxuan, who hurried over like a dog's legs.The two brothers grunted a few words.Sun Hongxuan was completely confused about the situation, and shook his head until Shen Jun twisted his ear and turned it around twice, then Sun Hongxuan reluctantly turned around and sat in another car, and then the bearer With a yell, he lifted the sedan chair and left.

The young servant of the Lin family was still leaning against the door frame, looking like an old god. It could be seen that the car of the two brothers was about to leave. The bearers are on their way.

"You two young masters, check the post quickly, why are you in such a hurry to go back!"

Shen Jun was still knocking on the melon seeds, and spit out two pieces of melon seed shells through the small window of the car with a 'pooh' sound, "How long is 'quickly'? A quarter of an hour? Two quarters of an hour? Half a day? If it's too long my brother You and I really can't wait, there are still a lot of things in the mansion waiting for me to go back and take care of them." After a pause, he said, "Let's avoid the banquet tonight. I'll trouble you to tell Mr. Lin later. Bearer, let's go!"

The young servant of the Lin family was flustered, and hurriedly grabbed the sedan chair tightly and refused to let him go, "No need, no need! I will lead the two young masters in right now, and there will be no delay!"

"Is that so? That would be the best." After finishing speaking, with a 'pooh' sound, Shen Jun spit out two pieces of melon seed shells from the small window.

Although he finally entered the Lin family's gate, Sun Hongxuan's expression was extremely ugly. Obviously, the young man had realized that the servant was trying to make things difficult for him.On the other hand, Shen Jun looked calm and composed, as if he had been mentally prepared for a long time. Along the way, he also compared the scenery of the Lin Mansion with the Sun Family Mansion in Changyang with great interest, and complained a lot.

It didn't take long for the two brothers to arrive at the banquet venue.

The open-air venue occupies a large area and creates an extremely elegant atmosphere.Osmanthus fragrans trees stand tall, the branches are covered with pink-yellow flowers, clustered into spikes, and the unique fragrance of osmanthus fragrans rushes to the face, which is refreshing.There are also many cannas planted in the lower place, and it is also in full bloom. I can see the clusters of vermilion, or green or yellow petals filled with red dots, reflecting the candlelight in the dyeing field, which is really beautiful.

The main body of the venue is a meandering channel, about half a meter wide and several hundred meters long. The water of the Bian River enters from the east wall of the Lin Mansion, goes around through the channel, and then flows out from the west wall.A hundred or so guests sat on the ground around the aisle, and the scene was very spectacular.

The water flows down the canal and slowly sends many special cups, plates and saucers, which are filled with all kinds of exquisite wine and food dishes.This scene is obviously imitating the flowing cups and qushui described in Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface".

When Shen Jun and Sun Hongxuan entered the arena, the Liushang Qushui Bureau had already started a banquet, and a group of failed scholars were drinking and composing poems one by one, competing for knowledge, only to hear bursts of applause from time to time in the open-air venue. Something like that.

However, because the two brothers were arranged on the westernmost side of Liushang, which is where the canal water flows out of the Lin Mansion, they are far away from other guests.Looking at it at a glance, Shen Jun and Sun Hongxuan were unable to chat with other guests, and they couldn't wait for a meal to flow to them for a long time.

"Where to?"

Shouting to stop Sun Hongxuan who had just stood up, Shen Jun still looked at the man in the easternmost seat, sizing him up carefully.

Sun Hongxuan twisted his face and forced a smile, but the anger in his heart was still there.

"Brother, please sit down first, I'll go say hello to Mr. Lin."

Shen Jun raised his eyes and glanced at Sun Hongxuan, "Do you want Lin Jiande to change places for us to file a complaint? You just have to think about it! As for the boy just now, if he didn't get the master's instruction, how could he be so hard-hearted? Guest? Sit down for me!"

Sun Hongxuan stared at his elder brother, then turned to look at Lin Jiande in the distance.At this time, Lin Jiande's eyes happened to move towards the two brothers, but he only glanced past them without pausing for half a second. How could he still be as enthusiastic and admiring as before?Looking at himself in this corner, Sun Hongxuan's face turned pale at that time.

"Brother, what do you mean...is this a Hongmen banquet?"

Shen Jun smiled coldly, and pulled the young man to sit down, "Don't say anything later, just wait and see what happens, I'd like to see what's in this gourd!"

"We have no grievances with the Lin family in the past, so why did Lin Jiande target us so deliberately?" Sun Hongxuan was still puzzled.

"Lin and Liao are family friends." Shen Jun told the truth.

Sun Hongxuan's expression changed when he heard the words, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time! Let's go! Brother, let's get out of here quickly!" After finishing speaking, he grabbed Shen Jun's wrist and got up to leave.

"It's not so easy to leave after entering the Lin family's compound." Shen Jun sat motionless, and even showed a sly smile, "Since you come here, you will come to the door sooner or later, and you can't hide from him. Don't make me happy, and I won't make him feel better!"

The banquet of flowing wine and water is still going on, and the themes of the poems written by all the young guests are all about the beauty of the day and the love between men and women.It was a little bit funny, and it was an obscene poem to shout out directly, which immediately caused the whole room to laugh.

Of course, there are also five or six people with ambitions, and the lines in their poems are full of ideals and ambitions, such as worrying about the country and the people, and restoring the mountains and rivers.But in general, Shen Jun felt that these young people were of average level, and it was reasonable to fail the imperial examination.

Shen Junle was among them, everyone laughed, and he also grinned and showed his teeth; everyone applauded, and he clapped along with him, completely grinning and heartless.The situation didn't change until half an hour into the banquet, when it was the turn of a young man with eight-character eyebrows to compose a poem.

The young man with the "horizontal eyebrow" smiled and raised his glass and stood up: "Everyone! Reciting poems and composing Fu is both love and love. All of them are just nonsense, which is not very interesting. Why don't we change the theme to something else?" good?"

Immediately, there were guests shouting and laughing at the venue: "Chen Luqiao, if you can't write poems, you can't write them. What excuses do you have to make? Brothers don't know how to laugh at you, do you think so?"

There was another burst of laughter among the guests, as if many people thought that the boy with eight-character eyebrows couldn't compose a poem for a while, and wanted to play tricks.

During this time, one of the guests yelled loudly: "Chen Luqiao decides what theme you want to change. As long as you can make a half sentence, it's nonsense, and my brothers will let you go!"

As soon as the words were finished, there was another round of cheers and jokes in the open-air venue.

The young man with the "horizontal eyebrows" held his wine glass and looked around the Liushang Bureau with a harmless smile. Finally, his eyes fixed on the corner where Shen Jun and his brothers were sitting: "The hospitality is hard to come by, and Lu Qiao will not be polite. Why don't you start from the younger brother?" , from now on, everyone will use 'Shang' as the topic, how about composing a poem each?"

As soon as this remark came out, the guests sitting there whispered again, some frowned, some shook their heads and sighed, and some even sighed.
