Troubled Times Survival Raiders

Shen Yu nodded. "I like it very much."

"Eat a few more yuan if you like it, and it doesn't matter if you take it home." Wu Junyi leaned back on the chair and said lazily. "Playing chess is exhausting, let's go here first."

Shen Yu looked at the box of dim sum again. There were petal cakes of various colors, each about the size of two thumbs, and they were carefully packed into a box. They should have different flavors.Even a box of snacks is a reward from His Majesty, so he should get up and kneel to thank him immediately.

It's a pity that the person who rewarded him didn't have the consciousness to wait for him to thank him, but seemed to want to see him have a snack.

Shen Yu obeyed her own thoughts, took out other colors, and sang them one by one.Wu Junyi really showed a more expectant expression. "Which is tastier?"

"It's still Longjing Crisp." Shen Yu replied honestly.The sweet-scented osmanthus crisp is too strong, the mung bean crisp is too sweet, and the chestnut crisp lacks a bit of texture... I can't rule out the possibility of preconceived ideas, but he does think that Longjing crisp is the most suitable for his taste.

Wu Junyi smiled with satisfaction, and found a sense of identity. "There are many kinds of dim sum in the palace, but it's not interesting to eat them. I also think Longjing crisps are the best."

Shen Yu didn't know how to answer, and heard him ask casually: "The summer solstice is coming soon, do you have any plans?"

Court officials have three days off during the summer solstice.Shen Yu thought for a while and said, "It should be fine. I will spend time with my family, cool off from the heat, and teach Lin Lang to read."

Shen Linxu is six years old, and she has been taught by Shen He himself.When Shen Yu has time on weekdays, she will accompany him to read and read.

Wu Junyi narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Lin Lang... is my younger brother, born in the second year of Jianning." As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yu faintly felt that she had said something nonsense: Actually, there is no need to introduce Lin Lang. know?

Wu Junyi did just find out.He faintly envied this child who was only five or six years old.When he met Shen Yu, he was just a child and could be taken care of.But not anymore.

He... should become the person Shen Yu can rely on.

Thinking about this, Wu Junyi took out a sachet from his sleeve and handed it over.

"Here, I should give it to you during the Dragon Boat Festival. Unfortunately, you come and go with Sheren every day. I really can't find a chance." For some reason, his voice seemed a little sad.

Shen Yu looked down at the sachet: it was water blue, embroidered with flowing cloud patterns, and exuded a faint fragrance.He thought for a while, but didn't directly reach out to take it. "Your Majesty will reward you directly, or send your father-in-law to send it, isn't that enough?"

"That won't work." Wu Junyi's face immediately changed, and his straight arms retracted. "It has to be given to you by myself."

Shen Yu looked at him childishly, shook her head helplessly, and stretched out her hand too.Wu Junyi hooked his fingers subconsciously, and finally waited quietly for him to take the sachet.

"I thank Your Majesty for the reward." Shen Yu said, and then pretended to bow to the other party. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the snacks and sachets."

Wu Junyi supported his head, clicked his tongue, and asked dissatisfied: "Why didn't you bring the jade pendant I gave you?"

"The jade pendant is extremely precious. I naturally hide it at home and dare not show it to others." Shen Yu suddenly felt as if she was comforting a cat with fur.

It's a pity that the other party didn't appreciate it at all: "I don't care, you put it on first."

Just as Shen Yu was about to say something, she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps coming from the stairs.

"The slave pays homage to His Majesty." It was Li Qi.When he saw Wu Junyi, he knelt down, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Jia begs to see you."

"I'm going now." Wu Junyi stood up suddenly, and returned to his serious and serious expression in a blink of an eye.The one who acted childishly just now seemed to be a completely different person.

Shen Yu also stood up and bowed to see him off.

But before going downstairs, Wu Junyi glanced at the table again, and said warmly: "Bring another box of dim sum from the imperial dining room... I want more Longjing crisps, and bring them back to Mr. Shen."

"Thank you." Shen Yu knelt down and watched the other party's figure go away.

"Lord Shen, get up quickly." Li Qi greeted, "I have to return to His Majesty's side to wait for orders, please wait here, the imperial dining room will deliver the snacks."

"These are actually enough." Shen Yu pointed to the snacks on the table.Li Qi quickly shook his head, "How dare a servant disobey His Majesty's orders? Lord Shen, there is no need to refuse."

He glanced thoughtfully at the sachet in Shen Yu's hand, and took the initiative to leave.

Shen Yu stood alone in the room, looking at the hard sachet in his hand, only this could prove that the Wu Junyi who was joking with him just now, who was not at all like the emperor, really existed.

He hung the sachet on his waist.

Shen Yu never saw Wu Junyi again until the summer solstice.

Shen Yu successfully posted the set of "Great Canon", put it away again, and helped the school secretary to check the books. After receiving a compliment, she officially went on vacation.

"Father, mother, Lin Lang, I'm back." As soon as Shen Yu entered the house, she raised her voice to say hello.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a little doll staggering towards him, wearing a bright red robe, and his little face carved with pink and jade was covered with dust and dirt.Shen Lin looked at him with a smile, looking malicious. "Brother, did you bring any snacks back today?"

Shen Yu shook her head helplessly, "Snacks are available every day in the palace."

Most of the snacks that were rewarded last time were cheaper than Shen Lin.Shen Lin is growing up, no matter whether he eats it or not, she gulps it down and stuffs it into her mouth. After eating, she still thinks it's not enough, so she talks to him every day.

Shen Yu dotes on his younger brother, so he has to comfort him: "I'll buy it for you tomorrow, okay?"

Shen Lin nodded, and said seriously: "Brother is different from me. If a gentleman says a word, it's hard to catch up!"

Shen Yu was dumbfounded by what he said, so she could only change the subject:

"Lin Lang, why is your face dirty again? Did you climb a tree again? You've been sweating like a little monkey all day long, so be careful not to catch a cold."

Shen Lin is just the naughty age.He has been strong and strong since he was a child, and he is not like Shen Yu who has been told, he dare not relax a little, so he grew up carefree.When he was in the countryside, he played with the children of farmers, climbed trees to dig out bird nests, went down the river to touch crabs, and dared to do anything.

"Brother, don't tell mother, okay?" As soon as this was mentioned, Shen Lin immediately gave in. "Please, mother must have been talking about me for a long time."

Shen Yu took his little hand and shook her head helplessly, "Follow me into the room and wipe it clean."

He asked the maid to bring a basin of water, and wiped Shen Lin's face and hands with his own hands, revealing a fair and clean face again: Shen Lin was different from him, she looked more like the Song family, and her facial features were softer.

He actually likes Shen Lin like this: she doesn't have to struggle for life and death, and doesn't have to worry about her family. The biggest worry every day is getting into trouble again and being scolded by her parents, and what to do if she doesn't want to study.

Shen Yu herself did not get through such a childhood, and only hoped that her younger brother could grow up carefree under her protection.When he is older, he wants to take the imperial examination, do business, or guard the family land to become a rich man, it's up to him.

When Mrs. Song finished her work, she saw Shen Yu teaching her younger brother to study, while Shen Lin listened obediently.

On the second day, which was also the day of the summer solstice, Shen Yu did what he said and took Shen Lin to the street to play.

He was afraid that Qi Lang would get lost, so he made an appointment early in the morning to ask his servants to drive the carriage out to the market.

Shen Lin didn't have as few chances to go out as Shen Yu, and she wasn't that novel to the outside world. He just couldn't sit still at home.So Shen Yu felt relieved to let him follow her.

When they arrived in the downtown area and got off the carriage, Shen Yu held Shen Lin tightly and walked to the dim sum shop, "What do you want to eat?"

Shen Lin rolled her eyes, "How many can I choose?"

"Up to three, otherwise mother will accuse me of pampering you too much." Shen Yu said.

Shen Lin looked at the sweet snacks on the counter, sucked her nose, walked around twice reluctantly, and finally pointed out a few.Shen Yu took a rough look, and in terms of fineness and style, it was naturally far worse than that in the palace.

Fortunately, children don't know how to compare, whether it's from the palace or bought from outside, they are equally happy to eat.

After buying snacks, Shen Yu took Shen Lin to buy some pens and ink.These are all consumables, he needs to use them himself, and Shen Lin also needs to use them.But Shen Lin was not happy when she saw him buying these. "elder brother!"

Shen Yu didn't pay attention to him, he saw a... very familiar figure from the back.

"Qi Lang!" He yelled loudly.

The man turned around, Shen Yu hurriedly chased after him, the man also ran back a few steps, yes, it was Shen Qi.The immature toddler in memory has become a teenager, but the outline has not changed.

Surprise flashed in Shen Qi's eyes, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't cry out.

"Qi Lang is in the Imperial College now?" After the surprise, came more surprises.Shen Yu recognized the prison robe that Shen Qi was wearing, which didn't fit well.He was extremely shocked in his heart, but he himself had stayed in the Imperial College for several years, and he would never admit his mistake.

They didn't know what Shen Tai did after the separation, they only knew that he was promising, and after meeting several times, it became more and more obvious to put on a show.Looking at it now, it is really promising, Shen Qi has already entered the Imperial College at his age.

Shen Qi's expression changed unpredictablely.In the end, he just whispered: "Yes."

The few people who were traveling with Shen Qi finally came over, with unhappy expressions on their faces, after roughly looking at Shen Yu, seeing Shen Qi's reluctance, they said abruptly: "Who are you, dare to block our way? "

Shen Lin realized something was wrong and held Shen Yu's hand tightly.

Shen Yu only wore an ordinary blue robe, and looked from an ordinary family.

"No...you don't have to, he's my brother." A panic flashed across Shen Qi's face, he quickly lowered his head and said softly.

"That brother of yours?" The people who followed him had obviously heard of Shen Yu, and knowing that this man was the number one scholar or an official of the imperial court, it was not easy to handle.

"It's just a misunderstanding. Qi Lang, go with your classmates." Shen Yu quickly ended the embarrassing situation and waved to Shen Qi.Shen Qi hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, then took the initiative to turn and leave.

Shen Yu watched that thin figure gradually melt into the crowd, with mixed feelings in her heart.

"Brother, shall we go home?" Being pulled by the hand, Shen Lin rarely showed a considerate side, and didn't even ask who the boy who looked similar to his elder brother was.

"Okay." Shen Yu replied.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as he got home, he was approached by someone.

"Master Shen." Li Qi showed a skillful and friendly smile, "The slave has brought you ice by His Majesty's order."
