The moment he entered, he saw the young man in the courtyard.

The youth wore a loose Daoist robe. There was no light in his robe, only the starlight from the stove boiling water. The firelight swayed, and his face was reflected in the flickering light, as if he was one with the night.

Great Master Shen could not see his expression clearly, but he was certain of one thing. The other party did not welcome him.

Master Shen suppressed the anger in his heart and strode forward, "Third brother is so elegant."

"Big brother is indeed in a good mood."

Shen Jun replied with a smile that was neither hard nor soft, choking on his words until Master Shen's eyes bulged out.

Master Shen chuckled coldly, not wasting any time with him. He sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

He had only tasted it when he stopped.

"Mother treats her brother extremely well. This new tea that has just been served to her brother."

Shen Jun then glanced at him with his almond-shaped eyes and said with a hint of coldness in his voice, "Mother, I was the one who sent you the new tea."

Master Shen choked again. He was simply slapping himself in the face, his face burning.

The youth didn't want to pay any attention to him and only quietly watched him come over. What was he going to do, and just sat there like that?

"Mother asked me to come." Master Shen cleared his throat to ease his embarrassment. "Mother is concerned about the matter of you leaving the academy. Let me take a look at your homework. If you have anything you don't understand, feel free to ask."

"— However, although you are my younger brother, I am also not the examiner of the Yongping Estate, and I do not recognize you. "I'm afraid I can't help you with that."

The imperial government would send invigilators to the various prefectures for every examination to prevent fraud.

As for those who came to take the exam, they wouldn't open the back door. As long as they stayed in peace and stayed at the end of the exam, they would be rewarded when they returned. Only a fool would risk his black veil to help these people who couldn't even hit the eighth pole.

When he heard Master Shen say that he would take it out first, Shen Junxiao felt that he was being hypocritical, even acting so selflessly.

The invigilator knew what kind of person he was, but he couldn't wait for his name to go down the drain.

"There's no need for you, brother. I'll go speak to mother about it." If Old Master Shen really was the material for studying, then he wouldn't have been unable to obtain a comrade back then and relied on Madam Feng to become an official.

His younger brother did not give him face at all. Master Shen felt that it was a mistake for him to come here. With a cold snort, he flicked his sleeves and left.

As soon as he left, Shen Jun smiled and called for Four Treasures. "It's a pity that this tea set and tea set are gone. Throw them into the storage room."

Four Treasures glanced at his master speechlessly.

He had brought this tea set back from the capital. It was a complete set of white jade. How much did his master dislike the old master?

The Fourth Treasure's belly was still open, but he didn't dare say anything. He neatly put away the tea set and tossed it into the dust of the small storage room.

When Sibao brought Shen Jun's favorite pink tea set, the young man was tapping his fingers on it a few times. No one knew what he was thinking.

He quietly arranged his things and prepared to carry another pot of water. Suddenly, he heard Shen Jun laughing, "Pay attention to the things that are delivered to the yard these few days."

Saying so, he went back to his room to rest.

Four Treasures was at a loss for words. After staring blankly for a while, he started to collect the tea set and put the small dishes back into their original positions. Anyway, Master told him to do what he was told.

His master liked him because he was loyal and obedient. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the top student in this Mu Xi Yuan.

Not ten days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Eunuch You hesitated for a long time. Finally, on the tenth day of the new year, he paid his respects to Old Madam Shen and told her about Second Master Shen wanting her to come to the capital after the holiday.

Old Madam Shen was currently enjoying some sweet soup. A moment ago, she was still smiling and praising the excellent cooking in the kitchen. However, after listening to her words, her wrinkled face became extremely long.

Seeing her expression, Madam Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Everyone could see that Old Madam Shen was unhappy.

"Old Second's wife, earlier on, Old Second asked you to come to the capital to take care of your daily life. You pushed him many times, leaving him alone in the capital for a long time. Why is it that at this critical juncture, I finally got an answer. "

At this critical moment, which one?

Madam You was stunned and a smile appeared on her delicate face. "Mother, I will follow my husband to the capital after the holidays." "It's not before the festival. My husband will be home for the holidays after a few days."

Old Madam Shen let out a heavy snort, her gaze cold to the extreme. "Second eldest son's wife, I always thought you were the most honest. Who would've thought that you would be so tactful in front of me now."

This accusation is a bit serious, Mrs You hurriedly stood up and said to the old man: "Mother is going to have a death in front of her daughter-in-law, she is always very filial in front of her mother. Mother has seen more wind and waves than I have ever eaten, and my daughter-in-law would not dare to make a fool of herself in front of my mother. "

Eustace lowered his posture to its lowest.

As a daughter-in-law, the thing she was most afraid of was to be disrespected as a parents-in-law. That was a seven out of ten rule. She also didn't understand why Old Madam Shen would suddenly flare up like that.

Old Lady Shen felt a little more at ease when she saw Madam You's fear and trepidation. She said, "You must be tired of serving this old woman since she's been getting worse these days." Since you think that this old woman is a burden, then you can leave. "

With these words, Madam You finally understood why Old Lady Shen was making things difficult for her.

In the past few months, the old lady had been completely submissive to her eldest sister-in-law. Her prestige in the mansion was already known to all, and most of the people in the mansion only watched her eldest sister-in-law's face as she worked. The old lady was unhappy. Hearing that she was about to enter the capital, she felt that she looked down on her as well, so there was no need to treat her respectfully.

This old lady's heart was as small as a needle!

These days, the old lady was not feeling well. Wasn't it all because of her treatment of the medicine in front of her?! The old lady saw that she was easily bullied, so she might as well use the soft side to bully her.

If it was Madam Feng's turn today, would the old granny dare to mock him in such a manner and mock him in secret?!

She didn't dare!

Madam You was so angry that her chest rose and fell, and her fingernails dug into her flesh.

'Forget it, I'll just wait for her husband to come back! ' But he still had to retaliate!

"Mother's words really made it so that my daughter-in-law couldn't live any longer. My daughter-in-law, please invite yourself to step down." He was gentle and gentle, but he was also kind. He left right away.

Old Madam Shen didn't expect that this daughter-in-law would be so magnanimous. She merely said a few words and was about to take the position to threaten her. Old Madam Shen naturally knew that this daughter-in-law had children for her son. She had been following him around without any hindrance these past few days, treating him well. Everyone was staring at her. How could she dare to let her second son's wife go?

That way, the You Family wouldn't tear her apart.

Old Mistress Shen was dumbfounded. Madam You looked at her and said, "I'll write a letter to my husband and ask him to come down to the hall. I'll have someone pass the Old Mistress' words on to my parents and have them come and apologize to you."

As she spoke, Madam You turned to leave. Old Lady Shen was so shocked that she couldn't catch her breath. She waited for the rest of them to leave the courtyard before shouting, "Quick, stop her! Stop her! It was going to be reversed! It's even going to be reversed now! "
