Chapter 655 A Brand

On the 28th of the first lunar month, after dinner, the sky gradually dimmed, and candles were lit in the study of the Shen family.

In the light of flickering candles, Shen Heng in a white robe stood opposite Shen Yi.

Shen Yi sat on the main seat, glanced at his own brother, and then said silently: "Tomorrow, I will leave for the south."

Shen Heng nodded and said with a smile: "Little brother knows, big brother can go south to do things without worry, and my father and I will take care of family affairs, so brother doesn't have to worry about it."

"I'm not worried about things at home. You are in Jiankang and should be safe. What I worry about is your studies."

After Shen Yi sighed, he looked up at Shen Heng and asked, "Are you sure you will take the exam this year?"

He said slowly: "My brother is doing pretty well as an official now, and our family doesn't have any imminent difficulties. I can..."

"I'll give you another three years."

Shen Heng smiled and said, "Brother, are you afraid that I will fail?"

After a few words of politeness, Shen Yi looked up at the sky, and said with some embarrassment: "There are too many family members at home, which has delayed a lot of time, and made Zhongcheng wait for a long time."

Shen Heng smiled and said: "My younger brother has memorized everything that elder brother said, but..."

"I'll go talk to him."

Shen Heng hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head slightly and said, "Brother, I have one thing I want to ask of you."

It is the carriage of Cheng Tingzhi, the new governor of Fujian.

Shen Yi nodded and said: "Okay, then you can rest assured about the exam, your marriage...I can assure you, it's up to you, as for the father..."

"I'm going to stay in Yueqing for a while, and discuss with the new Coastal Commander-in-Chief about the establishment of a coastal capital."

That night, the two brothers talked for an hour by candlelight in the study before Shen Heng went back to rest.

The status is very different.

"It's okay."

Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at Shen Heng and said, "Little brother, I can help you with this matter, and I can also withstand the pressure from your father, but there is one thing that we brothers need to agree in advance. "

Cheng Tingzhi smiled and said, "I didn't wait long either."

Shen Yi asked again: "Should we go directly south, or go to Zhongcheng's house first?"

Shen Yi is now the absolute pillar of the Shen family. Since he is the pillar, the right to speak will naturally become more and more important. Although he cannot directly disobey Shen Zhang, Shen Zhang still respects the opinion of his eldest son.

The two brothers have depended on each other since they were young, and Shen Yi naturally knows the character of his brother.

Jiulang, the youngest of the same generation in the Shen family, hesitated for a while, then slightly bowed his head in embarrassment and said, "Brother, I want to marry you young lady..."

What's more, if Shen Heng wins Jinshi this year, it will be the most popular "unmarried Jinshi", and even the prime minister may end up going to the list to catch his son-in-law!
At that time, Shen Heng will be waiting for a group of the best women in Jiankang City. Among other things, at his age, and with his elder brother Shen Yi, marrying a girl from a second-rank and third-rank family is not a problem at all. No.

Shen Yi and the two parted at the gate of the city, and then sat in his own carriage and continued to head south along the official road. When they arrived at Wuliting outside the city, another carriage was already waiting by the side of the road.

However, Shen Yi is confident that he can bear these pressures with Shen Zhang.

Shen Heng bowed his head and said, "Brother, if I become a Jinshi this year, Father will probably not let me marry a young lady."

He was writing a letter at first, when he heard that he put down the brush in his hand, took a deep look at Shen Heng, and said seriously: "Just tell me, if you can do it, brother will definitely do it for you."

And Chen Youniang was just a peasant girl.

"The new commander of the capital..."

At that time, he might regret it, regretting that he didn't marry a daughter of Xiangmen today.

At that time, even if Shen Zhang is considered enlightened, he probably won't agree to marry a peasant girl as his wife, but will persuade Shen Heng to accept Chen Youniang as his concubine.

And Shen Yi also turned off the lights, and went back to the bedroom to accompany his wife and children.

"I'm not worried about your knowledge."

Cheng Tingzhi was thoughtful: "Didn't Bachelor Shen go directly to Fuzhou?"

In fact, his requirements for Shen Heng are not high. It doesn't have to be a first class, as long as he can get a second class, then there will be no threshold for "education" in the officialdom.

"Ah."

girl...

Of course, if Shen Heng really married Chen Youniang, Shen Zhang would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Shen Yi said slowly: "Yesterday I also visited Teacher Gu and asked about your studies. I was mainly worried that you would be too young to perform well in the examination room."

"It's not because I'm afraid you won't be ranked."

Master Shen got out of the carriage and walked towards Cheng Tingzhi's carriage, Cheng Futai also got out of the carriage at this time, before the two approached, they bowed to each other from a distance, with polite smiles on their faces.

Chen Youniang, Chen Qing's younger sister.

"If you win the Jinshi, you won't be able to take the next exam."

"It should be waiting at the Shili Pavilion in front."

Cheng Tingzhi told Shen Yi that his home was near Jiankang, and he planned to bring his family to Fuzhou this year.

After Mr. Shen got into his carriage, he sat in the carriage, closed his eyes and meditated.

A plate of pure gold.

"It's a good thing to lose."

Early the next morning, Jiang Sheng prepared the carriage at the gate of Shen's house early. Master Shen bid farewell to his family one by one at the gate of Shen's house, and then took the carriage to the south gate of Jiankang.

On the back is a whole surface of cloud patterns, and on the front is a character "朕" in seal script.

Shen Yi thought for a while, then shook his head slightly and said: "No, Zhongcheng should send them a letter, telling them to go to Yueqing first, and after arriving in Yueqing, I will send someone to escort Zhongcheng's family to Fuzhou."

Cheng Tingzhi was stunned, and asked: "Dare to ask Bachelor Shen, this person is..."

Shen Heng is now a Juren, a member of the "Scholar", and when he wins the Jinshi, he is basically an "Official".

Shen Heng is [-] or [-] years old this year, and it is the time when the "love brain" is in charge. Now he naturally sees that Chen Youniang is very good, and he will become an official in the future. As he grows older, the love brain may gradually fade away. .

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid that you are too young to perform well in the examination room, and come back with a top-ranked Jinshi examination."

A few years ago, Chen Youniang entered Shen's house to do work, mainly to take care of Shen Heng's daily life. Last year, when Shen Heng came to Jiankang to test Qiu Wei, he brought her to Jiankang with him.

"I can help you make decisions about your marriage, but if you are not satisfied with this marriage in the future and think that you can marry a better one, you can't blame me, brother, for ruining your future."

At the gate of the South City Gate, Zhang Jian and Zhao Jizhou came to see Shen Yi off.

Because Shen Yi's old father-in-law, Lu Anshi, is not an official, but he can be called a "scholar". He has a lot of influence in the court and the officialdom, and his status is very high.

Shen Heng shook his head slightly and said: "Don't worry, brother, little brother... I still have some confidence."

Shen Yi raised his head and glanced at Shen Heng unexpectedly.

Shen Heng took a deep breath, with a serious face, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, big brother, little brother will never regret today's decision in this life."

Shen Yi paused, and continued: "But since you insist on taking the exam this year, the elder brother will support you. Seeing that Chunwei is not far away, try to relax during this time and don't force yourself too much."

Shen Yi smiled and said, "I'll see Zhong Cheng in a while."

Shen Heng looks gentle and sensible, but he is very strong in his heart. Shen Yi is worried that he will not be able to withstand the huge mental pressure in the examination room.

"I…"

Cheng Tingzhi shook his head slightly and said, "I have already notified my family. They are already on their way to Fuzhou. We just meet in Fuzhou."

Cheng Tingzhi nodded, turned around and got into his carriage, and Shen Yi also returned to his carriage, and the two carriages started slowly on the road again.

This pair of boys and girls are of the same age. It is not so strange that they have been together for a long time, and they have been in love for a long time.

In recent years, he has rarely heard the word "beg" from Shen Heng's mouth.

Shen Yi glanced at his brother and smiled: "As long as the girl is willing, I will naturally not object. Why do you tell me this kind of thing?"

"Um…"

As for Chen Youniang, her family is really just an ordinary farmer's family. Although her brother Chen Yan is studying in Ganquan Academy, it is still unknown whether she will be able to study well in the future.

People will grow.

After meditating for a while, he touched his arms and found a sign.

Shen Heng nodded quickly: "Brother, please tell me."

Master Shen played with the sign that was just delivered to him last night, and then muttered.

"I don't know about this thing..."

Master Shen said to himself.

"Is it as evil and easy to use as the rumors..."
