Hypocrites

In order to entertain the two colleagues who came from afar, Song Jun also specially asked Deng Yang for advice, and bought the well-received sauced meat, fried fish, honey ham and chicken porridge in Dongshi.

One fat chicken, peeled and finely scraped the breast meat, boiled the soup on the chicken rack, added fine rice noodles, ham crumbs, pine nuts, mashed and stewed with the chicken broth, put green onion, ginger in the pot, and poured chicken oil.No matter how far the fragrance wafts, the line to buy porridge will be as long as it is, and it is so delicious that people can swallow their tongues.

Song Jundao: "The bell of the city building has not rung at five o'clock, so I'm waiting outside Dongshi. It's too troublesome to buy this one."

Yan Ran smiled embarrassedly: "Thank you, Brother Jun, for your hospitality."

Mu Jihe was unrestrained and taunted: "You came to Wangdu City to take care of your husband's daily life. Why don't you buy enough porridge, rice noodles and steamed buns? You should cook yourself to show your filial piety."

Mu Jihe changed the laborer's short jacket when he was transporting the cart, and put on Shen Yu's plain robe and long gown, and instantly transformed into a handsome young man.Among the crowd, Mu Jihe was considered the tallest, and only Shen Yu was close in height to him, so he could borrow clothes.

Talking about what he saw and heard in Wangdu City, Shen Yu accompanied him to study every day, and only Song Jun could tell a thing or two.

Yan Ran said: "Brother Yu, tell me about the affairs in the palace, so that I can open my eyes too."

Reading thousands of volumes of books and traveling thousands of miles, literati also pay attention to being well-informed, otherwise Yan Ran would not follow him northward to Wangcheng.Yan Ran is from Nanzhou, and like Song Jun, he worshiped Shen's family with admiration, but his luck was not very good. On the day of his arrival, Shen Jin happened to be out, and the doorman didn't explain clearly, making Yan Ran think that Master Shen didn't want to accept him. Standing outside the gate of Shen's residence in Furong Lane for a day and a night.

It was mid-winter, windy and rainy, and his face was cut like a knife. In the early morning of the next day, Master Shen returned to the mansion. Yan Ran, who was standing outside his house, was already half-frozen in the cold rain, and his breathing did not bring any heat.

Shen Jin later said: "In the cold winter months, the clothes are all sewn with reed flowers. He is a child of a poor family." Therefore, he loves Yan Ran very much.

Precisely because of the hardships of birth, Yan Ran's desire to get ahead through reading is stronger than anyone else in the school.It is not that there are no poor families among the students, but no one has the determination not to enter the Shen family or freeze to death.Yan Ran is just a weed, although he is lowly, he can tenaciously break through all obstacles, no one doesn't like him.

Shen Yu also responded to Yan Ran's requests: "In the palace, um, it's not very interesting, most of them are eunuchs and eunuchs. The emperor's health is not good, and he lives deep in the pavilion."

"You might as well tell him to talk about the crown prince," Song Jun booed, "then he talks too much."

Liang Heng is already notorious, and Yan Ran also knows a thing or two: "Is that the Crown Prince Heng who left Cui, Ma, and Xie in anger?"

Shen Yu already knew what outsiders thought of Liang Heng, so he really didn't want to say more.But Song Jun didn't let him go: "He doesn't have the anger to leave our husband. Not only that, but also tied him and his companion to death. Hey, Yan Ran, don't underestimate this prince when you become an official in the court. Lord."

Yan Ran thought it was funny, and said in surprise: "Does he have some tricks? I heard that the children of the royal family have learned the art of emperors since childhood, and they are used to winning people's hearts. Brother Yu, you must be careful not to be deceived."

Without saying a word, Shen Yu put down the porridge bowl.Mu Jihe saw it clearly, and knew that he didn't want to continue this topic.

"Yan'er," Mu Jihe said, "have you finished eating?"

Only then did Yan Ran swallow the last slice of honey ham on the plate, and Mu Jihe pushed his ham plate to him again, and said to Shen Yu, "I brought you something."

He got up and went back to the house, took a three-foot long stick, put it on the food table, and Shen Yu unwrapped the cloth strip to reveal the leather scabbard.

"Your sword." Muzihe said.

Pulling out the blade, the refined iron shone a cold light between Shen Yu's eyebrows.The blade is long and narrow, with a hollow about one finger wide in the middle, and the two edge blades are only connected end to end, hence the name "Er Xie", implying that the two swords cooperate with each other.

This sword was given to Shen Yu by Mu Jihe's master.Mu Jihe learned the art of swordsmanship from a knight-errant in the rivers and lakes. The knight took a fancy to Shen Yu's talent and wanted to take him as his apprentice but failed, so he gave him his sword as a gift instead.

"That guy sighed with me all day long, saying that if you had been his apprentice, you would have surpassed me in skill a long time ago." Mu Jihe slapped Shen Yu's face into the porridge bowl with a slap, "I said that can't be done. As for learning martial arts, then I must be able to surpass you in writing skills. No matter what, I can always beat you. How about you? How about a competition with me? I heard that you will be in peace when you arrive in Wangcheng. If your skills are slow, this is true A rare opportunity to beat you."

In the east courtyard, the woody vines have withered, and the remaining half-bald vines are wrapped around the wooden frame.Mu Jihe held a broom upside down, and stood on both sides of Shen Yu who was holding a long sword.

Shen Yujian was not out of its sheath, and the leather sheath buckle was connected to the hilt. The cold texture of the iron hilt made him a little uncomfortable.

"If you use too many pens, you won't even be able to hold a sword!" Mu Jihe didn't give him a chance, he rushed forward, and the bamboo pole of the broom went straight to Shen Yu's chest.

With a muffled sound, the bamboo pole was held by the leather sheath.

"The most important thing to watch out for in the world," Shen Yu looked into the eyes of Mu Jihe who was close at hand, and smiled with ease, "Isn't it that warriors write and literati play swords?"

"it is good!"

Mu Jihe yelled and breathed out, the splits turned into thorns, the bamboo pole pointed at Shen Yu's whole body, and the leather sheath was as swift as an afterimage to resist separately.In the fifteenth year of Mujihe's year, he was able to resist a tripod, and Fang Jiruoguan was able to topple a weeping willow. His strength was unmatched, and a burst of fierce attacks forced Shen Yu to retreat to a corner.

Suddenly the leather sheath was entwined like a spirit snake, spun around the bamboo pole, hit Mu Jihe's shoulder, he let him pass by sideways, and the two exchanged positions.

Yan Ran and Song Jun were eating melon seeds under the eaves to watch the martial arts competition, and they had a great time.

Song Jundao: "Brother Yu hasn't studied seriously after all, I'm afraid it's still close."

But Yan Ran broke the stage and said: "That's not necessarily true. The so-called waiting for work with leisure and taking time to rest. Mu Jihe didn't sleep all night last night, so he won't be in good spirits today."

Shen Yu laughed loudly, jumped on the fence, and took advantage of the momentum to slash down with his scabbard. Mu Jihe backed up again and again, and shouted: "Why did you not sleep? If there was no master in the black shop yesterday, you would be able to sleep well." ? Yan'er! Don't be ungrateful!"

Yan Ran shouted: "I want to say it! You just didn't sleep all night, but I couldn't close my eyes for several days! I was woken up every night by your snoring like driving a pig!"

While Mu Jihe was arguing with Yan Ran, he was still able to deal with Shen Yu's offensive, so you came and I went back and forth a dozen times, and the crumbling leaves of the woody vines were shaken by the two of them and flew all over the sky.

In the end, Shen Yu took the momentum and voluntarily surrendered.

"Why?" Yan Ran dug out the bottom of the altar and took out the last two melon seeds, "I see that every move looks good, and the winner hasn't been decided yet."

Shen Yu then showed him the right hand holding the sword, the tiger's jaw had been cracked, and the hilt was covered with blood.

After ten sessions with one force, Mujihe's brute force is astonishing, and there are few opponents.His chivalrous master also valued this talent, so he accepted a white-faced scholar as his apprentice.

"How is it?" Mu Jihe and Yan Ran sat side by side, holding his shoulders, "Not bad, right?"

Yan Ran was about to say a few words of habitual sarcasm, when he suddenly noticed that Mu Jihe's hand on his shoulder was trembling faintly, which might be a sign of loss of strength, so he couldn't help but take a second look, and had a new assessment of Shen Yu's force.

However, Shen Yu's side was very troubled, his right hand was cracked, and it was somewhat inconvenient to write with a pen.Liang Heng even praised him for his good handwriting a few days ago.

"Can you stop talking about Your Highness all day long?" Song Jun rolled his eyes at him.

At the end of the day, Shen Jin returned home after class, and Mu Jihe and Yan Ran greeted him respectively.

Mu Jihe is a bastard, he is not active in studying literature, half a tank of water in martial arts, Shen Jin is used to beating mainly.Treating Yan Ran, he loves and cares like another real son, and even Shen Yu has to stand back.

After the family had dinner, Yan Ran drank tea and chatted with Shen Jin, and Shen Yu was ordered by Shen Jin to run errands——

"Send the stone to His Highness. I have been memorizing it all day, and my heart is not in the study."

"You said he only gave it away if he studied well," Shen Yu said with a smile, "Why don't you just show off?"

"I still have time to spare?" Shen Jin said, "If I don't send it away, they will come to invite the mountain god in person."

The servants who transported the eye of the mountain god along the Muji River reloaded the cart and covered it with cloth.Before leaving, Shen Yu heard Shen Jin muttering to herself again: "It's not a rare treasure, no matter how many words you say, it's just a little thought, that one may not be able to appreciate it..."

The night dew is cold and the moon is as bright as water. The Chu Palace, which houses a large lake, enters autumn earlier than other places in the royal city, and the coolness hits people.

At night, Liang Heng had already fallen asleep, and Xinzhou was responsible for receiving the rocks and putting them into storage.

Even if Liang Heng wasn't in front of him, Xinzhou couldn't make a mistake.

"Thank you." Shen Yu said.

"Doing things for His Highness," Shinshu said humbly, "not to mention hard work."

He didn't look at Shen Yu, turned his head and told Xiao Huangmen to push the cart away.

"Shen Yu!!"

Hearing this, Shen Yu and Xinzhou were dumbfounded at the same time.

"Let me see let me see!!"

Under the verandah, Liang Heng came out wearing an inner coat, kicking a pair of wooden clogs, ran to the front, and hugged the rock with a tiger pounce.

"Your Highness!" Xinzhou was anxious, "Why don't you wear a coat?"

At this moment, Liang Heng's heart and eyes were full of his stones, and he lifted the cloth cover: "Wow..."

In the wide courtyard outside the dormitory, the moonlight pours down on the stone skin like flowing silver, and the gemstones as big as one eye emit soft light, reflecting the glazed eaves and white jade steps, shining brightly.

Although Shen Jin didn't think it was a rare treasure, Liang Heng couldn't put it down right now.

The little yellow gates who carried it were also quite shocked.

"Wow!" Liang Heng lost his ability to speak, hugged the rock and stuck it on, but was not firmly attached, and was dragged away by his shoulders.

It is most easy to catch cold in autumn, so it is worthwhile to wear a single coat and hold an ice stone.

Shen Yu grabbed the man over, untied his outer robe and put it on for him.

"Thank you, Shen Yu," Liang Heng said with tears in his eyes, "You are really my good brother, much more reliable than Yanling and Lian Zhen! They fixed the jade tablet, and my foot was swollen from the last time I went to see it."

"You're welcome," Shen Yubin said politely, "My father gave you this, not me. And, Your Highness, your birthday is approaching, so don't dress well, be careful, and you won't be able to go to the banquet if you catch a cold."

Shen Yu tied the robe belt for him, Liang Heng's waist was also very thin, it wasn't Yan Ran's thin waist, which was too thin to eat and not warm, his skin exposed outside the neckline was ivory-like, loose and loose. The ground of Wufa Committee is like a waterfall.This is a delicate canary raised in a jade cage.

Liang Heng grabbed Shen Yu's hand, full of passion: "No problem!"

Shen Yu gasped in pain.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Only then did Liang Heng realize that Shen Yuhu had a wound on his mouth.

"It's nothing." Shen Yu withdrew his hand, under the night, Liang Heng's eyes were clear and his eyebrows were green.

Shen Yu turned to pat his face with his right hand: "Go to sleep."
