0828 Old grudges
The next day, the atmosphere of the Shen Yuan rally continued unabated, and many of those who did not receive invitations on the first day had tried their best to get one in the past night. There are even many people in the capital who are eager to return to their hometown, wanting their children to hurry up and enter the capital to catch up with this grand event.
Shen Zhezi also kept his promise the next day, got up early and prepared to leave for Shen Yuan, and took Shen Jin out and brought it with him by the way. This kid has been deliberately avoiding Shen Zhezi in the past few days, and last night he hid directly in his mother's Wei family's house, and he didn't show up at all.
There are two men and one woman from the Wei family, among which Shen Zhezi's little sister has not grown up, and the Wei family has a bit of patriarchal thinking, which can be seen from Shen Zhezi's physical condition at the beginning of the crossing, not one or two bowls of runic water can be ruined like that. Shen Zhezi has not been in the courtyard for a long time, so only Shen Jin is the only one around to bear the heavy maternal love, so naturally this kid will inevitably be pampered.
Therefore, Shen Jin's family education is really two extremes, his father is demanding, and he will reprimand him if he is not pleasing to the eye. The mother is obedient, lest she not be connived enough. When Shen Zhezi went to his mother's room to take this kid out, Wei was still there and told him in every possible way, as if this kid was still the same baby in the past.
"Get on the horse!"
When Shen Zhezi walked out of the room, he left his mother's advice behind, brought a pony with him, and pointed at Shen Jin casually.
"Can I really ride a horse?"
Shen Jin was reluctant to follow Shen Zhezi, but when he saw such treatment, he was immediately overjoyed. He is at an active age, because his mother dotes on him, and he is not allowed to touch many dangerous things, so he can't hold it back for a long time.
Shen Zhezi also turned over on another horse, and turned his head to see that Shen Jin was clumsy and was supported on the horse by the guards, and he looked like he wanted to gallop and was eager to try, so he sneered and said, "A foal, as for this?" You haven't seen the grand occasion of thousands of troops and horses, and your five brothers have already bowed and invited their names and made them knights. You have been with me these days, and if you behave well, not to mention a horse, a good armor, a strong crossbow, or a famous sword, I can give you a horse. ”
Shen Zhezi also thought about it for a long time, this kind of rebellious boy is the age when he hates ghosts, and it is inappropriate to blindly speak and obey, or should he gradually guide while acknowledging his interest.
When Shen Jin heard this, he was first overjoyed, and then he became entangled, wondering if there was a conspiracy waiting for him behind his brother's promise. Unconsciously the colt under the hip will automatically move forward, so he hurriedly bent down to wrap around the horse's neck, goodbye brother has crossed a few feet away, the childish face suddenly blushed, gritted his teeth and courageously straightened his back, like a stake on the horse's body.
Outside the door of the Shen family's mansion, there were no more large number of donors, but there were also servants of various families who watched here, and when they saw the horses going out, they hurried to Shen Yuan to report.
When Shen Zhezi and Shen Jin arrived at Shen Garden, the gate of the garden villa was already overcrowded, and Shen Zhezi turned over and dismounted, his movements were crisp and neat. Shen Jin looked at the lack of heat in his eyes, threw off the stirrup on the boots, lowered his head to look at the ground, and had to admit that he was not hot enough after a few times, and was slightly ashamed to be hugged off the horse by the family next to him.
"Today's gathering of peers, you really don't need to be polite."
Shen Zhezi smiled and bowed his hand to everyone a little, and then introduced Shen Jin behind him to everyone. was flattered by everyone, Shen Jin was not stage frightened, he was born with a good life, and in the past few years when he grew up, the Shen family has been thriving, and he is used to this kind of flattery in and out of daily life, and even a little tired, he is really lazy to respond to these compliments, and his posture is also slightly lazy, standing there and looking around.
Seeing this, Shen Zhezi's face immediately turned grim, and Shen Jinden realized it, and he was busy standing upright, responding to those who came forward to greet him one by one. In this way, Shen Zhezi's face became better-looking, he has always felt that no cultivation is not the same as having a personality, and being polite is the most basic cultivation when communicating with people.
Even if it is a cold man who greets him with a smile, if the situation allows, he must bow his head in response. Of course, in special situations, even if you are a little arrogant, it has a special purpose. For example, when he was new to the capital in the early years, he was not lacking in the eyes of others, and he would be scolded if he disagreed, which was a battle for dignity and had nothing to do with politeness. As for now, no one dares to be presumptuous in front of him, so there is no point in going crazy again.
There were nearly two hundred people who came out to greet these people, most of them were fresh faces, but it seemed that Shen Jin's face was wider than Shen Zhezi's. This also made Shen Zhezi inevitably sigh a little, the iron Jiankang, the flowing water, he is only more than a year away from the capital, and these prodigals in the capital have changed. But this is not something to be sad about, people always have to progress, most of Shen Zhezi's old acquaintances have now entered the official career, although few people can be as brave as Shen Zhezi, but at least they have come into contact with the ruling structure of the Jiangdong Imperial Court.
Of course, there are exceptions, and Shen Zhezi soon found a slightly depressed figure at the back of the crowd, which was Huan Wen.
Huan Wen is a little older than Shen Zhezi, and now he has already been crowned, standing in the crowd at this time, half a head taller than the people around him, but he can see it at a glance, but although his body is tall, he is slightly thin, and there are two deep lines between his eyebrows, which seem to be depressed.
Seeing Huan Wen here, Shen Zhezi was a little curious, he knew that Huan Wen was about the same as Yu Bin when he was in mourning, but he had been busy with the war in Huainan earlier, and he didn't have time to spare energy to inquire about Huan Wen's news. However, he knew that Yu Yi had always glanced at Huan Wen, and Huan Wen should not worry about a way out after serving him, but now it seems that Huan Wen is a little unwilling, and he still seems to be white.
Seeing Shen Zhezi looking at him, Huan Wen also showed a slightly restrained smile on his face, and was about to walk up, but many people in front of him surrounded Shen Zhezi, and behind him, there were two little brothers, Huan Yun and Huan Huo, pulling the corners of his clothes, so he could only stand in the distance and bow his hand to Shen Zhezi slightly.
Shen Zhezi came to this trip, and the crowd naturally separated, and only when he was in front of Huan Wen did he smile and said: "Brother Yuanzi, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed." ”
Seeing Shen Zhezi making a special trip to himself, a trace of waves flashed in Huan Wen's eyes, and he solemnly said: "Liang Gonghuai is prestigious, Wen also hears it, and he can't use it." ”
Similar to Huan Wen's appearance, Shen Zhezi has also seen Yu Bin before, he has been in seclusion for several years, and he can't be in the temporary bureau, so it is inevitable that there will be some alienation from people. Shen Zhezi was going to say a few more words to Huan Wen, but at this time, there were people in the garden to greet him, so he nodded apologetically to Huan Wen, and then pointed behind Shen Jin and said, "You come to entertain Brother Yuanzi for me and lead them to Kunji upstairs, don't be rude." ”
Shen Jin's mind was full of betraying his self-esteem in exchange for his favorite things from his brother, so he nodded hurriedly, and when the crowd followed Shen Zhezi away, he took a step forward, and learned from his brother's appearance to hug his fists slightly, only to find that he could only look at Huan Wen's chest at eye level, and he was inevitably a little embarrassed, and only after taking a step back did he look up at Huan Wen and said: "Brother, he has a reputation for hard work, and he is by no means rude, and I hope that Brother Yuanzi will not be surprised." There are still hidden paths in the park, please come with me. ”
Shen Jin may inevitably be a little arrogant, but he is not rude, seeing that Brother Huan Wen looked at him differently, he specially arranged for his own reception, so naturally he didn't dare to be rude.
"Brother, he's Shen Ahe! Earlier, I traveled with the southern suburbs of Amu City, and it was he who crashed into my car! ”
At this time, Huan Huo, the little brother behind Huan Wen, pointed at Shen Jin and said to Huan Wen, with no lack of indignation in his words.
After Shen Jin heard this, when he became embarrassed, he subconsciously waved his hand and denied it: "Brother Huan Shi said that I laughed, I only entered the capital with my relatives at the end of the year, and I have been taught in the court gate for a long time, so I really don't dare to wander outside." Or people have the same name, but let the world brother misunderstand. ”
"You ......"
Huan Huo wanted to argue, but was stopped by Huan Wen raising his hand, he was already an adult in his twenties, and he was not young in previous years, and he didn't think it was a big deal. It's just that when I saw Shen Jin's face not red and his heart was not beating and he was talking nonsense, he couldn't help but think of Shen Zhezi in his early years, so he waved his hand and smiled: "I'm not a newcomer in the garden, and Xiaolang doesn't have to make a special trip to accompany me. ”
Shen Jin was still worried about his brother's instructions, but he was caught red-handed by the bitter master, and he was really embarrassed to stay for a while, so he retreated. He could see that the boss of the Huan family had a good relationship with his brother, and he was inevitably worried that this matter would be known to his brother. In fact, he didn't deliberately want to offend the Huan family, as a new gentleman in the capital, the Communist Party only had those few means of fun, or he drove on the way to disturb other people's homes, and his own family members paid compensation, and very few people will pursue it again.
Just thinking about how to deal with the aftermath, someone came from outside the garden, Shen Jin turned his head to look, and saw a few people coming here on horses, it was the brothers of the Xie family. For the leader Xie Yi, although Shen Jin knows him, he is not familiar with it, but the most conspicuous one among them is his friend Xie Wan.
As for how conspicuous Xie Wan is, it is really eye-catching from head to toe. First of all, there is a small crown of lacquered yarn on the head, and a few colored feathers are inserted side by side, the style of the robe is ordinary, but the colored ribbon of the robe hangs down to the feet, although the belt is not colorful, but it is shining golden in the sun, and even the mount under the crotch is covered with a layer of bamboo woven armor from head to toe, which looks so outstanding, and it crackles when running.
His person seemed to be too eye-catching, and the other brothers of the Xie family were faintly distancing. When they arrived at the door and fell off the horse together, Xie Yi came up first and greeted Shen Jin: "Ah He Xiaolang, the horse and Shen Wu have already climbed the stairs?" ”
"The elder brother has gone upstairs, and the fifth brother is studying hard at home."
Shen Jin replied to Xie Yi listlessly, and waved his hand to Xie Yi next to him, they often have contacts with each other, but they are not strangers. When he saw Xie An, who was walking sideways into the garden, and didn't look at him at all, he remembered that this was also a hidden danger, stepped forward and stopped Xie An, and said to Xie Yi and Xie Yi, who looked back: "The two brothers go first, and I still have something to talk about with Shiro and Goro." ”
Xie Wan was one step behind the others, dismounted a little impatient, was poked to the side of his leg by the scabbard of the sword, bent his legs and jumped forward, ignoring Xie An, who was glaring at him at the door, just waved his hand and shouted to Xie Yi: "Brother wait for me, if you don't do it, the horse can know who I am!" ”
Shen Jin stood at the door and sneered, instructed his family to stop Xie Wan, and then snorted coldly and said: "Xie Wu, don't be in a hurry to see my brother, you offended a family in the southern suburbs earlier, and his son is my brother and friend, and he is also in the building today." I'm kind enough to leave this to you, if you don't want to show your ugliness in front of people, hurry up and come up with a way to solve your grievances in front of the door. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Xie An on the other side, and put on a kind smile: "If you make friends by mistake, you will let my brother thin me." Shiro, you are a rare virtuous person in my generation, you can't bear to see your family Goro being laughed at by the sages upstairs, right? ”
When Xie An heard this, his calm face suddenly showed suspicion, and Xie Wan next to him was already full of urgency: "Ah He, I have always been in and out with you, if I really want to offend anyone, it will never be me alone!" ”
"I stayed here to communicate with you because I helped you, and you still came to defile me?"
Shen Jin pretended to be embarrassed and turned his head away from Xie An's suspicious gaze. Xie Wan also said that Shen Jin was about to abandon him, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Shen Jin's arm: "It's me who lost my words, Ah He, you have to help me." Then he grabbed Xie An with his backhand, and said with a bitter face: "Fourth brother, you have to help me." ”
