Chapter 303 Out of breath
Uncle Shen Hui's words made Shen Yi feel a little uncomfortable.

Not because he introduces himself to someone, but because of his attitude.

On the surface, he was doing this for Shen Yi's good, but in fact he was using Shen Yi as a favor, and even elevating himself, which made Shen Yi feel uncomfortable.

Although, the elders of the same clan can indeed introduce marriages to the younger generation, but Shen Yi's father, Shen Zhang, has not spoken yet, nor has he entrusted him to find any marriage.

Shen Yi's expression was not good, but for the sake of his father, he still didn't attack him face to face. He turned his head towards Zhang Jian, cupped his hands at Zhang Jian, and squeezed out a smile on his face: "Today, I will trouble you to welcome me, brother, tonight Baiyulou, my little brother must be there, see you soon."

Zhang Jian first looked at the Shen family behind Shen Yi, then looked at Shen Yi, then patted Shen Yi's shoulder with a smile, and said: "It's a happy event for Ziheng High School Scholars, I want to be happy today, Don't make trouble, if something happens to you, remember to send a letter to the county government to say hello."

Shen Yi nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Senior brother, has our new Jiangdu's new Fuzun arrived? If he does, I should pay a visit tomorrow."

"not yet."

When mentioning this matter, Zhang Jian frowned slightly, and he snorted, a little unhappy: "That guy Chen Yu, I don't know whose family he went to, not only was he not implicated by old man Yang, but he was promoted to an official Ministry, after he left, Jiangdu's new magistrate has not arrived for a long time, and Tuiguan and Tongzhi are in charge, but I heard that the Ministry of Officials has appointed a new magistrate and is now on his way to Jiangdu."

Speaking of Chen Yu, Zhang Jian was obviously not very happy. He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Ziheng is in Jiankang, have you met Chen Yu?"

Shen Yi thought for a while, and replied: "I met in Yaoyue Tower, but I didn't meet or speak."

"I have to say, Chen Yu really has some tricks."

Zhang Jian's tone was a little helpless: "This kind of predicament can make him retreat and even benefit. This person will most likely become a figure in the court in the future."

At this moment, there is no one around the brothers and sisters, so the content of the speech can be bolder. Shen Yi looked at Zhang Jian, smiled and said: "Actually, there is no way. To put it bluntly, it is His Majesty who does not want to let Xiang Yang's faction "cut off children and grandchildren." ", to leave a few usable people for that faction, and leave some roots."

He smiled and said: "However, these root seedlings will only be root seedlings in a short time, and will not sprout."

After hearing Shen Yi's words, Zhang Jian was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and exclaimed, "I haven't figured this out after thinking about it, Jing Ziheng, when you mention it like this, it suddenly becomes clearer!"

He patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Zi Heng, you are naturally suitable to be an official with your thoughts. When I return to Jiankang this year, I will take you to meet my old man. Most likely, the old man will like you!"

Shen Yi smiled and nodded: "It's my honor to meet the old Xiangguo."

After the two said a few polite words, Zhang Xianzun took a group of people from the county government back to work in the county government.

And Shen Yi also rode on the big horse prepared by the family, and his younger brother Shen Heng led the horse for him. Surrounded by a crowd, he returned to the Shen family compound.

This Shen family compound is not Shen Yi's home, but Shen Hui's family, that is, the big house where Shen Ling used to live.

When he reached the gate of the mansion, Shen Yi jumped off the horse, put his arms around his brother's shoulders, and said with a smile: "In a few years, when you become a Jinshi and return to your hometown, brother, I will also lead the horse for you!"

The relationship between Shen Heng and Shen Yi has always been good. Hearing what his elder brother said, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Brother, I will start the exam next year. If I don't pass the Jinshi in the next subject, I will definitely pass the next one , when the time comes, I will go to Jiankang to find you."

Shen Yi rubbed his brother's head, and said with a smile: "You are talking more and more loudly, this is not good, arrogant soldiers will lose."

"I'm not boasting."

Shen Heng raised his head and looked at Shen Yi, and said seriously: "Mr. Qin said, my article... um... It's almost the same as your brother. Last month, Shanzhang Lu also read my article and said the same."

Shen Yi smiled dumbly: "Maybe that's not what you said?"

"You don't have to save face for me. You are better than me. I knew when I was in the academy last year that you are more talented than me in reading."

Shen Yi pulled his younger brother's sleeve and said with a smile: "When you go to Jiankang to take the provincial examination, Brother Wei will take you to meet a powerful gentleman and let him teach you again. You can't even get into the second class, you will work harder in the future..."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "Try to pass the exam and enter the Hanlin Academy. When the time comes for our family to repair the genealogy, let them make a separate copy for you!"

Shen Heng shook his head and smiled, "Why do you want a copy for yourself? I want a copy for my father and brother!"

While the two brothers were talking, they had already entered the Shen family compound. Led by the head of the family, Shen Hui, a group of family members surnamed Shen entered the ancestral hall to burn incense and kowtow to their ancestors, and then organized a banquet.

In the Shen family compound today, there are already many family members surnamed Shen present.

But the real banquet is tomorrow. According to Shen Hui's arrangement, there will be a three-day feast in the Shen family's compound. The Shen family in Jiangdu City and nearby will gather at the Shen family to celebrate this great happy event together.

After offering incense to the ancestors, Shen Yi was dragged by Shen Zhang again, and in the living room of Shen's house, he talked with the elders of the family for a long time. Finally, in the evening, Shen Yi escaped from the compound of Shen's family. I am going to take my father and brother to the Baiyulou by the Yudai Lake for a banquet.

Unexpectedly, neither Shen Zhang nor Shen Heng wanted to go with them.

Shen Zhang's reason was to stay in the Shen's compound and help his family prepare for tomorrow's banquet, while Shen Heng still had a few essays to write, so he couldn't go with Shen Yi.

Shen Yi knew in his heart that his father and brother just didn't want to delay his discussion with Zhang Jian.

In fact, there was nothing to talk about between the two of them, it was nothing more than talking about things in Jiankang City, eating, chatting and drinking.

Because he was in a good mood, that night, Shen Yi drank with Zhang Jian in the Baiyu Tower for the whole night. When he couldn't stand still, he was sent back to Shen's house by the people from the county government, and Shen Heng helped him to bed.

This time, Shen Yi fell asleep until Si Shi the next day.

That is, it was almost noon.

After waking up, he looked at the sky outside and was startled. He quickly got up from the bed, changed into new clothes in a hurry, washed up, said hello to his family, and put on his new clothes. The gift I bought for Junior Sister Lu in Jiankang, I hurried out the door.

After leaving the house, he went to the Ink Ink Shop again, and bought a good inkstone and a valuable brush for Master Lu.

After shopping, Shen Yi stopped a delivery carriage and took himself to the gate of Ganquan Academy. After arriving at Ganquan Academy, he walked in quickly. Because no one stopped him, he walked all the way to Master Lu's. At the door of the study, he was still panting heavily.

"Mm... Master..."

He knocked on the door and gasped, "Students see that you are here..."

On the second day after returning home, I should have come to visit the teacher early in the morning. It was almost noon now, so it was already a bit inappropriate.

The door opened quickly, Master Lu looked at Shen Yi with a smile on his face.

"Is Ziheng so out of breath?"

Shen Yi managed to catch his breath, and bowed deeply to Master Lu.

"I am eager to listen to the teacher's teaching..."
