[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

Lin Ze had already arrived in the capital within a month of the boat trip.There is a saying: "At the Foot of the Son of Heaven" is naturally different from other places. Although the prosperity and wealth here cannot be compared with Yangzhou and Jinling, it has a certain grace and luxury.Lin Ze just got off the boat, and before he had time to rest, he was taken to Weiyang Academy by Shen Yu.

Lin Ze came to Weiyang Academy with Shen Yu, and before he stepped into the academy, he saw that this place is not the slightest difference from Wang Xizhi's "Preface to Lanting Collection" in the Wei and Jin Dynasties: "high mountains, lush forests and bamboos, clear streams and rapids, reflecting the left and right sides" .Before he could appreciate it, Shen Yu coughed gently and pulled his eyes back. Seeing Shen Yu glanced at him with a smile, his face flushed immediately, although he felt a little embarrassed, he thought in his heart: He has never Those who have been to Weiyang Academy in the future may not allow him to see it.I also think that maybe the husband thinks that his appearance of a countryman going to the city is a bit cheap, so that's why.He also warned himself in his heart, then threw it away and followed Shen Yu to a small pavilion behind the academy.

Weiyang Academy is a place that students all over the world dream of entering.Not to mention that the teachers in Weiyang Academy are all knowledgeable and knowledgeable, even a boy who sweeps the floor in Weiyang Academy may be enviable when he walks out.

As soon as Shen Yu and Lin Ze entered the door, a little boy came up to serve and took off their coats, and another boy poured boiling hot tea to serve Shen Yu and Lin Ze to take a bite.After everything was ready, he quietly retreated out.Lin Ze couldn't help but click his tongue when he saw it, thinking that this Weiyang Academy is a rare place after all, even the children who serve him are so knowledgeable about etiquette and advance and retreat.

Shen Yu laughed, then stood up respectfully to the screen and said: "Is my cousin safe?"

It turned out that behind the screen was a large huanghuali wood bed, and an old man with gray temples was half lying on the bed with his eyes closed. Hearing Shen Yu's words, he only snorted coldly: "I'm safe, I'm just here. I'm afraid you're going to go back. You're still so sick that you're willing to stay." Then he said angrily, "Why, after running outside for more than four years, are you finally willing to come back?"

It turned out that this person was Shen Yu's cousin, the dean of Weiyang Academy - Shen Youye.Although these two are cousins, they are a generation behind. Shen You is over half a hundred years old, but Shen Yu is only in his early thirties. The younger brother is like a son.

Before that, Shen You had long wished to let his cousin take over the post of dean, but it was because Shen Yu was eccentric and self-willed since childhood, and refused to be restrained. He had been a tutor for a few years, but he put down his hands and wanted to go out to study abroad. .Shen You didn't want to say much, and only hoped for a few more years of tempering, so that this cousin could restrain his temper.Waiting to hear that he would not be a good tutor, but ran to Yangzhou to be a husband for a child who was only two years old, Shen You was so angry!

I had to write a letter to scold Shen Yu, but Shen Yu didn't reply to the letter without pain or itching. After all, it was his own child who had to be hurt by himself. Although Shen You was depressed, she still couldn't bear it, so she asked someone to inquire again. Only then did I realize that the family was originally descended from the Lin family of Gusu. Although it has lost its title in this generation, after all, it is a scholarly family with vigorous descendants. Miss, I only heard that although his younger brother is not very old, he is very sensible and filial.

Shen You thought for a while, and felt that although the little cousin was a willful person, others looked at the lintel of the Shen family but did not dare to treat him slowly, so he just returned to the capital if he didn't want to teach.At that time, Shen You was still thinking that with Shen Yu's temperament, even if he became that little brother's husband, it would take more than a year. Who would have thought that he would be the husband for four full years!

Hearing Shen Yu's smiling voice this time, Shen You was annoyed, and couldn't help but come up to him with a bad temper.As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I felt a little regretful. If my cousin let go after hearing these words, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses?Dang even got up and put on a coat, and hurriedly walked around the screen to this side, this meeting made Shen You very angry.

Why do you say?Let's see, this Shen Yu is not at all uncomfortable, while sitting on the stool, he is still drinking tea leisurely, and occasionally pushes some cakes that he thinks taste good to Lin Ze.As soon as Shen You walked around the screen, she saw that the teacher and the student were talking and laughing freely, without showing the slightest attitude of being a guest, they just took this place as their own home, didn't they? !

Lin Ze was the first to see Shen You, and hurriedly put down the pastry in his hand, then dusted off the corner of his clothes before bowing deeply, "I've met Dean Shen."

This is said in a vague way, it seems that it is taught well.Shen You nodded secretly, but still put on a serious face, glanced at Shen Yu, that look seemed to say: This little brother is not bad, it can be seen that you have finally done something in Yangzhou Yes.

Such Shen You has not seen for many years.Shen Yu himself also missed the years when he sat and slept with his cousin, and read and wrote together. In those years, his parents died young, thanks to his cousin who supported him all the way.He has a eccentric personality at a young age, his cousin has never been alienated from him, he always puts him first in everything, and no one treats him better than his cousin.Seeing that Shen You's temples were graying, and the corners of her eyes were moist, she got up and went to support Shen You, and only sighed: "My cousin has been separated for four years, and it has been four years."

Looking at Shen Yu's expression, Shen You couldn't think of anything he was sighing in his heart.Immediately, he patted Shen Yu's arm lightly, and said with a smile: "I originally said what kind of student you accepted, and you were delayed in Yangzhou for so long, no matter how much I wrote to ask you to come back, I would never refuse again. I'll see you today, I'll find out." As he spoke, he beckoned Lin Ze to come forward to speak, and he only stroked Lin Ze's hair and smiled, "I never thought that he was such a delicate and beautiful child, who really looked like a child. Good-looking, what is rare is that he is sensible and courteous, it is really lovely, much better than you were back then!"

Hearing Shen Youlin's arrival, he still didn't forget to scold himself, Shen Yu couldn't help touching his nose, and just smiled and said: "Of course, I was the most naughty and naughty when I was young. I don't know how much I let my cousin fuck me." My heart, now that I think about it, I really can't help my cousin." He sighed again, and said: "Oh, I have to pay my cousin here, but my cousin remembers that I was young back then, so don't bother with me. .” Just as he was speaking, his body was already half-bent.

Hearing what he said, Shen You didn't really want him to salute, so she held his hand in a hurry, and only said: "You just want me to worry less, salute me like this , but made me feel uncomfortable. What's more, the relationship between you and me, is it possible to use this worldly etiquette to measure?" While talking, he has already supported Shen Yu.

Lin Ze stood aside and listened to the chatter between his brothers. Sometimes he talked about Shen Yu's heroic appearance in the court when he was young, and sometimes he talked about the anecdote of Shen Yu's toddler and babble when he was a child. Now Shen Yu has long been attracted by Hanlin Qingliu as the most knowledgeable person in the world... Lin Ze just listened quietly, occasionally offering a cup of tea, the two brothers chatted happily, Lin Ze didn't feel bored, just listened On the contrary, he was very curious about the side of Mr. that he didn't know.It's only because of etiquette that it's hard to speak out, but obviously the two Shen brothers don't regard Lin Ze as an outsider, and they turned to Lin Ze while talking.

Shen You half-closed his eyes and took a sip of the green tea offered by Lin Ze, and sighed leisurely: "As long as I have such a student, even if it makes me live a few years less." Shen Yu laughed, Shen You Yuu looked up at him.

Shen Yu just laughed and said, "I don't know how many people's hearts will be hurt by my cousin's words." Then, he stretched out his hand and counted one by one according to his fingers. "Simply speaking, 20 of the 13 people in the Hanlin Academy from the head of the academy are personally taught by my cousin. They are not a few blocks better than my student? What's more, now in the imperial court, I Although the Shen family is not visible, perhaps half of those who are officials butchers are students who have gone out of Weiyang Academy!"

Shen You couldn't help laughing when she heard Shen Yu's recounting. She still had a straight face like she did when she was a child, but she said with a smile in her eyes: "Aren't you the only one who knows about these things? I'm just a lover of talents. It's no joke for you to say such a big car."

The two of them didn't feel it when they were talking and laughing, but Du Linze was secretly surprised when he heard it.Thinking of Yan Jidao, the prime minister of Xiangguo, when the great writer Su Dongpo visited him after his downfall, the impoverished son still had the arrogance of the prosperity of the past, and said very shamelessly: "Today, there are half of my old guests in the Zhengshitang. I don't have time to see you." This made Su Dongpo very embarrassed.Listening to Shen Yu's eloquent talk today, counting the important officials in the court, Lin Ze can't stop talking.But thinking that my husband has always been unafraid of people's words, and that he has similarities with that Mr. Xiangguo, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.

Shen Yu just caught the smile on Lin Ze's lips, his eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled and beckoned him to come over.When Lin Ze stood beside him, Shen Yu touched the top of Lin Ze's hair and smiled at Shen You: "My student is only five years old, so he is a bit younger. I originally wanted to teach him for a few more years. When he is seven or eight years old and comes back from the exams, he will not be in vain for my teaching. Unexpectedly, my cousin is so eager to ask me to come back and replace you." Then he smiled again, "Will you give up? No matter how talented he is, he specifically told Mr. Lin so that I could take him by my side to teach, and it would not be in vain for me to have a teacher-student session with him."

Hearing what he said, Shen You didn't know.Since he "knows the elegance after listening to the stringed songs", he laughed and scolded immediately: "You are as smart as a monkey, and you are as naughty as when you were a child." But his eyes fell on Lin Ze with all kindness, and he said with a smile: "Forget it, After all, it is your husband's painstaking efforts, and you have to live thousands of miles away from home in the capital for a while."

Lin Ze was wondering, but Shen Yu responded with a smile, then turned to him and said, "I know that your family also has a house in the capital, but you haven't lived in it for a long time. I heard from your father that there are only a few honest and dull people there." Keep it up, it doesn't make sense to ask you to go there. Just live in the academy with me, and it's cheap to study and go to school together."

Immediately, Lin Ze's enrollment was finalized with Shen You.The person involved had no room to comment, just stood aside silently, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: Sir, you have to take it easy, I even promised my sister to go back on her birthday!

Here, Shen You made a final decision, and pulled Lin Ze to his side again, squinted his eyes and looked at him carefully, seeing his graceful brows and eyes, delicate complexion, delicate and lovely features, and a small face carved with jade, he couldn't help feeling Secretly startled.But he wondered why, with such facial features, he seemed to be the person he hadn't mentioned in his memory for a long time!
