Hypocrites

Even though Yan Ran was a skinny monkey, when he got angry, he could climb over the wall with his bare hands. He stepped on the simple ladder built by the students, landed on the ground, and walked away without looking back.

Mu Jihe was much better than him, but he didn't dare to catch up, he jumped off the wall, and Yan Ran had disappeared around the corner.As soon as Mu Jihe turned his head, he saw Shen Yu under the willow tree.

Shen Yu raised his hands in surrender, and said innocently, "I don't know anything."

The difference between Mujihe and Zhou Yu is that Zhou Yu is timid and cautious, and sometimes goes too far, while Mujihe goes straight and never bothers to hide.He sat down on the ground next to Shen Yu, like a hungry and cautious bear who couldn't get nectar because the flower he guarded hadn't bloomed.

"What's the matter with you?" Shen Yu felt amused.Both Yan Ran and Mu Jihe were good friends of his, and when the two started to quarrel, he couldn't decide which one he preferred.

Mu Jihe said in a rough voice: "I tell you that you don't understand either."

"How do I understand if you don't tell me?"

"I obviously just want to make him happy, but somehow, it makes him angry when he sees me. Do you understand?"

"I understand," Shen Yu said, "I also hate myself for making him angry."

Mu Jihe sighed: "I'm so sour, let's say something normal. Shouldn't normal people scold me at this time, is there something wrong? What's wrong with you, Shen Yu, how do you understand?"

"Tell you that you don't understand either." Shen Yu replied.

The two sighed in unison.

"But seriously, what's the matter with you and Yan Ran? He has always had a good temper."

Mu Jihe's face was stinky, he held back for a long time, and said sullenly: "Yan'er... fell in love with a girl, I don't think it's good, if I tell him, he gets angry with me and ignores me for a few days. "

In the school, if anyone is said to be the most dedicated to learning and has no other distractions, then it must be Lian Fan and Yan Ran, and because of the poverty of his family, Yan Ran is always full of energy, as if he has nothing else to care about except for fame .Shen Yu was very surprised that such a person would find time to fall in love with a girl.

"I don't mean anything else, I just think it's inappropriate. If I had known that he liked it so much, I might as well have stopped meddling in my business back then, making him annoyed when he sees me now and doesn't talk to me, which makes me feel bad."

This sentence is really not right anywhere, Shen Yu asked: "Why do you think it is inappropriate?"

"Do you know what that girl does?" Mu Jihe became serious, "She's a girl from a wine shop, a joker in the East City. How many men have passed her skirt drunk."

"You look down on people?"

"That's not what it means. Yan'er doesn't understand anything, and if you don't keep it all together, you will be distracted. When the time comes, you will stumble, and there will be no time to cry."

Shen Yu didn't answer for a long time, Mu Jihe looked at him: "What do you mean?"

Shen Yu said euphemistically: "I don't think Yan Ran looks like he has a place in his heart."

"You don't know," Mu Jihe said, "that girl lives next door to his house. There is only one old mother in Yan'er's house, and that girl's parents are separated and she lives alone. When Yan'er was studying, the girl often helped his mother Some housework, and some food and drink, the two families share the food. Yan'er has a good impression of her, and it's not a day or two."

He sighed, so sincerely.

"Compared to others, what is my senior brother? In his heart, maybe I can't even compare to your status. After all, I am an unreasonable judge."

Hearing what he said, Shen Yu knew that Mu Jihe was really sad.Speaking of this incident, it can be regarded as a protracted thorn between Mu Jihe and Yan Ran——Yan Ran came from Nanzhou to pay homage to Master Shen in Ruyang at first, and Shen Jin's family went out, so he stayed to watch the house It was the youngest disciple at that time, Mu Jihe.The door boy got Yan Ran's name card and handed it to Mu Jihe, who was sleeping in the winter sun and returned to the cage. When he saw that he looked up to see Master Shen, and Master Shen was not there, he waved his hand to see the guest off, and then slept with him. He didn't know that this little man who was rejected by him was about to freeze into an iceman and almost died in front of the gate of Shen's house.

Later, it was Mu Jihe who ran all the way to find the doctor with Yan Ran, who looked like an ice sculpture on his back.Mu Jihe treats everyone with an uncle's attitude, he doesn't give in to oil and salt, but he is cautious with Yan Ran, taking care of him, and it can't be out of guilt.

Mu Jihe asked Shen Yu what he should do, how did Shen Yu know?His own affairs were still a mess.

After that day, Shen Jin formally hired other lecturers for the school, and prepared for the appointment of the sheriff at home.After hearing the news, each family sent envoys to congratulate, gift cards poured in one after another, in just a few days, Shen Jin received more treasures and gifts than in the previous half of his life combined.It's just that Shen Jin sent them all back as they were.

Both Song Jun and Yan Ran were helping out at Shen's house, registered name cards with Shen Yu, and returned gifts one by one.The three of them were often shocked by the hidden wealth and wealth of Ruyang County. These people's generous hands made Shen Yu no longer doubt how Lu Jia could amass millions of dollars.

Among them, the most lavish was Shan Guangyi, who served as the secretary of the Shaofu. He gave Shen Jin a gold star red sandalwood case. When he moved in, he dispatched five warriors. When they moved out, Shen Yu and Song Jun were so tired that they were half dead.At that time, red sandalwood was rare, and there were no large furniture on the market. One can imagine how much this furniture was worth.

"Where did this person get so much money?" Yan Ran was speechless, "Didn't you also investigate Ruyang County for corruption?"

The three rested against the veranda railing, and the weather was still hot for a short time after autumn.

Song Jundao: "Shan Guangyi's money doesn't depend on the salary of a mere official. The brother of the Shan family who is a prince of ten thousand households is a wealthy family who sits and eats."

In Liwu County under Ruyang County, the Wanhuhou who is in charge of this county is called Shan Guan. In the past, he was a regular attendant by the late emperor's side, and his status is equivalent to that of the current Qiu Zhiyuan to Emperor Wenshen.After Emperor Wenshen ascended the throne, Shan Guan recommended Tong Fang, Niu Shiliang, and Qiu Zhiyuan for meritorious service, and entrusted the three of them with credit for eradicating their relatives.It can be said that eunuchs can achieve their current status, which can be described as a role model for officials in the world.

Don't mention Shan Guan's name too much. It is said that the man has a pair of wind-like ears, and he can hear the wind and grass from hundreds of miles away.

The three continued to work, Shen Yu copied the gift list, and Yan Ran read his name for him.After copying half of it, Shen Yu started to chat, and Shen Yu asked: "It's enough for me and Brother Jun to be here, why bother your business, why don't you go to school?"

Yan Ran said nonchalantly, "Help you guys, the three of you are easy to do. I think the teacher has been very busy recently."

The two turned their heads and saw that under the open window of the study, Shen Jin was practicing calligraphy leisurely.

"He's not busy, we are the ones who are busy," Shen Yudao, "What can't you say to me? Pretend I don't know about you and Brother Mu."

Yan Ran didn't say a word, he squeezed a letter of worship in his hand, kneaded it into a pickle, and said bitterly for a long time: "What did he say to you? This guy is too much! Brother Yu, don't listen to him, all It's his fault!"

"What a coincidence, no, he also said it was all his own fault."

Yan Ran rolled his eyes.

Shen Yu glanced at him a few times, and tentatively said: "What did he do or say that made you unhappy, so just talk to him directly. Don't think that Brother Mu is not stingy, but if you say it, he will will change."

However, Yan Ran still acted as if this was not the case. After half a stick of time, Shen Yu finished copying the list of invitations and put down his pen before he said wearily: "You just don't know, Mu Jihe... …he……"

He couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"He's in love with a sister."

Shen Yu almost fell flat and was dumbfounded.

Yan Ran tried her best to restrain her expression, and rubbed her eyes with her sleeve: "My neighbor's sister, Mu Jihe came to my house one day, met her, and then ran to my house every two days, and asked about that sister. He always looks in other people's courtyards. Who wouldn't know what he's thinking!"

Shen Yu: "..."

After Yan Ran finished speaking, he also felt bored, seeing that today's work was almost done, he resigned from Shen Jin and went home, Shen Yu sent him to the door, and bid farewell to Song Jun who was in front of the door to receive the gift card.Song Jun looked at Yan Ran's dejected back, and asked Shen Yu, "I heard from Chen Hui that Yan'er is not in a good mood these days? What's the matter?"

Shen Yu thought for a while, and said tactfully: "In my opinion, there is some misunderstanding between the two."

During the day, Shen Yu finished copying the list of gifts, and at night, he helped his father copy the list of officials of the prefecture's mansion. The people in Lujia were basically cleared out. These names were selected by Shen Jin himself, and then recruited after confirmation.

After reading it once, Shen Yu was very dissatisfied. Only Song Jun was the chief reporter, and his name was not there.

Shen Jin leaned on the bamboo mat and drank tea leisurely: "Mao isn't even old enough to go out to be an official? Let's talk about it when you reach the crown in the next year."

It has been more than a year for the county sheriff to say these words.Shen Yu secretly slandered.

The reserve officials are local gentlemen with both ability and political integrity selected by Shen Jin from the "Book of Characters and Items".It was Shen Jin's friend surnamed Dong who lived in seclusion in Zhangshan that compiled "Character Items Zao", named Dong Xian.There are always a few more students accepted by Shenmen than the neighbors Cui Xue, Ma Xue and Xie Xue, and it is precisely because of this reason-many scholars think that if they worship Shen Jin as their teacher, they will have a chance to be favored by Dong Xian. Occupy a place in the algae album, and will be honored in the temple in the future.

Those who have this kind of thinking will of course be disappointed soon after getting started.The reason why hermitage is called hermitage is that she is isolated from the world and has no access.Dong Xian and Shen Jin have been friends for many years, and they only showed up once or twice at the old friend's birthday banquet. Whether Shen Jin gave birth to a son named Shen Yu or a daughter named Shen Yu, he couldn't figure it out.

"When are you going to see him and tell him to recognize you again." Shen Jin joked.

Shen Yu didn't understand, so he said, "I don't know Uncle Dong well, why bother?"

Shen Jin said: "Well, he wrote to me a few days ago, saying that the old housekeeper who took care of the daily life in the mountain passed away not long ago, leaving him a useless person who can't chop a firewood or start a fire, and no one can take care of him. I’m going to starve to death at home in the next day. Having said that, I reckon that he is asking me to send someone to him.”

Hearing this, Shen Yu was speechless for a while. Those who co-authored these readings and writing articles were all four-body, inactive, and five grains. So was his father, and so was this Mr. Dong Xian. .
