Chapter 41

Han took a handkerchief to help him wipe his mouth and said angrily, "I don't like sweet pomegranate all the time. I only like sour pomegranate. You don't ask."

Shen Mingchang took a sip of tea and gargled, "I didn't expect it to be so sour."

Han also tasted two "I eat well, sour and sweet, just eat.". Try it, Mammy Qi. "

Said, took a piece to give Qi Mammy, Qi mammy tasted, said "maidservant tasted also feel OK, not too sour."

Shen Mingchang shook his head. "No wonder women are jealous."

Han didn't like to hear that. She was about to retort when she heard a little servant girl outside the door reply, "Lin's brother is coming."

The two quickly dressed and sat down. Lin Enron came in behind the servant girl and said, "students, please send greetings to the Marquis and his wife."

Han said with a smile, "get up quickly."

Shen Mingchang saw Lin Enron's manner was moderate and modest. First he liked Lin Enron's two points, and then he took an examination of his knowledge. After listening to his words, he nodded, "you're a progressive. Since you've got a scholar, when are you going to take the entrance examination?"

Lin Enron replied, "the students think that they are not well prepared for this year's end, and the students feel that their articles are not well prepared for the government examination. Therefore, students are going to take part in the college entrance examination next autumn. "

Shen Mingchang nodded. "When I was young, I was so calm. It was good. As it happens, I have a nephew who also lives in the government. He is a few years older than you. Because of his filial piety, he is delayed and will take part in the hospital examination next year. Ah, both of you are not well-known teachers, and your families are not well-off, but both of you have learned well at a young age. It's much better than my several evils. "

Lin Enron said modestly, "I'm flattered by the marquis. He's both civil and military. I don't want to come to your mansion."

"As long as they have half of your knowledge, I will be satisfied. You'll know when you see it. After a while, I'll ask someone to take you to meet them. You are of the same age. I think you can talk to them. "

Then Marquis Shen sent him to the front yard to meet Shen Cang and others. Shen Cang didn't even read the four books and five classics. Naturally, he had nothing to say with Lin Enron. The remaining Shen Rong and Shen Mao are stronger than Shen Cang, but they have nothing in common. Fang Xinjian went back to Fang's old house to worship her ancestors. Fortunately, Shen Ze, the nephew of marquis Shen, was quite knowledgeable. Lin Enron had a good talk with him.

The girls in each room are very happy to receive leisurely this festival gift. She has always been skillful, and what she gives is selected and selected, which is naturally more delicate and lovely. No matter the girls or the servant girls, they couldn't put it down one after another.

Fang Xinsu also returned to Fang's house. No matter who her father was, she could only be the eldest daughter of Fang's family in her life. It's her responsibility. She will never shirk it.

Shen Tian sent someone to send her something from Qingliu. When she received it, she opened the box and saw that there were several white jade stones with different textures. It was not exquisite, but it had a simple beauty. Then he said with a smile, "it's still light willow who knows my mind. What's the value of those gold, silver and jade articles? It's not as interesting as these stones. "

In addition, there are some purse, sachet and other things. Fang Xinsu picked up a pair of peacocks the size of a palm, opened the screen, and said with a smile, "it's hard for her to think about it. It's unique. Who brought these things for her? "

The servant replied, "it was her younger brother who sent it to Houfu."

Fang Xinsu looks at the sky. The sun has set in the West. Then he said to the people around him, "it's late today. I remember to send someone to her home early tomorrow morning to send some moon cakes and snacks to our house." It was near noon when Cheng Zijun arrived at the Uncle Wang's family in the west of the city. His uncle had been entertaining the guests for a long time. Seeing that he was late, he asked, "why did you come so late?"

Although his uncle Wang is only a five grade official in Beijing, he is still the biggest supporter for the Cheng family, who lives in a corner of the capital and relies on merchants. Cheng Zijun always despised his uncle's arrogant manner of looking at people in his nostrils, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. So he said respectfully, "because he sent a classmate to Zhongyi Marquis's house to send some things, he didn't expect that there was such a traffic jam outside Zhongyi Marquis's house, so he delayed some time."

At first, some careless Mr. Wang heard of Zhongyi Marquis's house and immediately came to the spirit of "but Shen Mingchang, marquis Shen's house?"

Cheng Zijun replied, "exactly."

Then, a man nearby said, "now, it's not everyone's things that can be sent into Marquis Shen's house. Don't ask for trouble from your classmate. "

That person looks to wear also is a rich and noble, Cheng Zijun dare not rashly contradict, just say "my that classmate and Mrs. Shen side of a steward mother know well, so smoothly into the Hou house."

Mr. Wang immediately changed his face, offered his seat to him with a smile, and inquired, "is your classmate old with Shen Fu?"

Cheng Zijun wanted to boast about Lin Enron, but he realized that it couldn't stand scrutiny, so he truthfully said, "my classmate's sister was originally a big servant girl of the Hou family. A few days ago, he took her home after he passed the entrance examination as a scholar. This time I'm going to deliver things for my sister. "

Mr. Wang thought quickly in his mind that his term of office is still about to expire. If he can go further, it depends on whether there is anyone on the top. Zhongyi marquis is now the hottest tycoon in the capital. He has just returned from victory, and the emperor has given him a great reward. The eldest daughter of the Marquis was given marriage to the fifth prince. She is the prince's concubine, a niece is the princess, and a nephew is the commander of yunqi. Even Mrs. Shen's Han family can't be underestimated. Although she doesn't have a legitimate son, how many legitimate sons can a princess's daughter hold? In addition, her mother's family is not a vegetarian, and now the minister is her elder brother. Other people's second elder brother is the emperor's son-in-law, or is directly related to the emperor.

Look at this family. They are both rich and noble. How can they be envied?

Thinking of this, Lord Wang already had an idea in his heart, so he was more polite to Cheng Zijun, poured him a lot of wine, and set up a lot of words about the Lin family.
