With the promise of the civil officials, Kong Lianjie left Yanjing City that night and went to Datong Mansion.

Yang Qi, who was in the palace, learned the news as soon as possible.

Peng Pai bowed down and stood in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Jet Kong, who has been silent for many years, has appeared again, tonight he met Guo Shilang and others in Changle Fang, before the curfew, they had already parted ways, and Jet Kong drove to the northwest. ”

Yang Qi put pen to paper on a list of executions, ticked one tick after another, and only raised his head after a long time, and said calmly: "It's just a dying struggle, now that I have the general trend, Confucianism wants to turn the tables, don't even think about it."

Kong Lianjie went to the northwest, and I could probably guess what he was thinking.

Among the Confucian students in the Northwest, the ones who can influence me are none other than the Great Confucianism and my teacher.

Although he is a Confucian Confucian, he is an outsider, and it is difficult for Kong Lianjie to get through his way.

The only thing left is my mentor, Shen Lun.

I wrote a long letter, you sent someone to hurry up and hand it over to my mentor Shen Lun before Kong Lianjie arrived at Datong Mansion. ”

"......"

Yang Qi immediately wrote a long letter and handed it to Peng Pai.

After Peng Pai got the letter, he could send someone to Datong Mansion in an expedited manner of 800 miles.

Datong Mansion City.

The elderly Shen Lun has relieved himself of all his duties and retired in the house allocated by the imperial court in Datong Mansion, and occasionally goes to Datong Academy to give a few lectures to the students at the invitation of the plant.

Life is also comfortable.

However, when people are old, they are always inseparable from the torture of illness.

Shen Lun has been tired for half his life, and he has become ill from hard work, and now that he is old, he has never gotten up since he fell ill all of a sudden.

in the bedroom.

Shen Lun coughed rapidly, as if he could cough out his last breath at any time, and his face turned red because of the violent coughing.

A young and immature maid walked to Shen Lun's bedroom with medicine, and on the way she met Shen Hao, the second man of the Shen family, who had been waiting for her for a long time.

Shen Hao hid behind the pillar, and when the maid walked by with the medicine, he suddenly stretched out his hand and took the maid into his arms.

A bowl full of medicine was half spilled in an instant.

"Huh?"

The maid screamed in fright, and before she could continue shouting, Shen Hao's index finger was on her lips.

"Shh~"

After the maid saw Shen Hao, she obviously relaxed a lot.

Shen Hao's fingers slid down, pinched the maid's smooth chin, and said with a smile: "Die'er, yesterday you promised your son-in-law and me to let me taste your rouge today." ”

The maid's cheeks were flushed and she wanted to lower her head, but Shen Hao held her chin.

She said timidly, "Father...... Son...... Let go of the slave and maid, if the second lady sees it, the slave and maid will be punished. ”

When Shen Hao heard this, his eyes narrowed, "What are you afraid of, if that yellow-faced woman dares to embarrass you, I will break his legs." ”

"But ......"

"But what? You promised me yesterday, do you want to go back? ”

"I didn't ...... There is no ......"

"So what are you waiting for......

As he spoke, Shen Hao pursed his lips and leaned towards the maid's mouth.

The maid was in a hurry, and she spoke a lot more neatly, only to hear her say quickly: "The eldest prince sent someone back to the house to say that he will come back at noon." ”

Shen Hao's body was stunned, and he said in amazement: "Big brother wants to come back?" ”

The maid nodded heavily.

Shen Hao immediately snatched the medicine from the maid's hand, held it in his hand, and suddenly pecked it on the maid's mouth.

Then the thief smiled sheepishly: "Reward your ......"

The maid immediately covered her face in shame, not daring to see anyone.

Shen Hao leisurely took the medicine bowl and entered Shen Lun's room.

Looking at Shen Lun who was lying on the bed coughing, Shen Hao subconsciously frowned, seeing that the blood that Shen Lun coughed up was covered with the placket of his neck, his brows furrowed even tighter, and his eyes were full of disgust.

"The ...... of the Eldest Prince"

Outside the door, there was a soft cry of the maid butterfly.

Shen Hao quickly took the medicine bowl to Shen Lun's bed, he used a hand to cushion Shen Lun's chin, covering the trace of blood on his neckline, and then carefully fed Shen Lun to drink the medicine.

Shen Lun stared, looking at this unfilial son, he was almost angry to death.

Shen Hao saw that Shen Lun didn't turn his head and refused to drink the medicine, so he shouted in a low voice impatiently: "Dad, drink quickly, the eldest brother will enter the door immediately." ”

Shen Lun sighed in his heart, but slowly opened his mouth.

When the Shen family got started, he saw the side of the father's kindness and son's filial piety.

And Shen Lun did not expose Shen Hao's hypocrisy in front of the Shen family.

The reason why he cooperated with Shen Hao so much was because he felt guilty about Shen Hao in his heart.

Back then, Shen Lun cut off all of Shen Hao's future in front of Yang Qi with one word, turning Shen Hao into a loser who had nothing to do and stayed at home.

And the Shen family has risen to the top in the shadow of Shen Lun's blessing over the years, and now he has become the prefect of Datong Mansion and has become a big official.

In comparison, Shen Lun felt even more guilty about Shen Hao in his heart.

Therefore, Shen Hao's various unfilial piety to him, he chose to endure it silently.

After the eldest man of the Shen family entered the door, he was very satisfied when he saw the second brother carefully serving his father to drink medicine.

"Second brother, my brother is still busy with official business, so when I pass by the house, I stopped by to have a look. Dad will bother you to take care of it, this is a thousand silver coins of the southern money bank deposit. ”

His second brother is now a loser, and the Shen family knows it in his heart.

But as long as this second brother of a loser can take care of Shen Lun, he doesn't mind giving him more money and letting him go out to spend it.

In fact, every time he came home from a busy day, as long as he saw the second brother of the loser taking care of his father, he would leave the money.

This is also the reason why Shen Hao pretended to serve Shen Lun when he heard that his eldest brother was going home.

Looking at the shiny deposit ticket on the table, a trace of greed flashed in Shen Hao's eyes.

But he didn't rush to move the deposit ticket, but while feeding Shen Lun medicine, he laughed softly: "Brother, what are you talking about." You're too busy, your brother is idle, take care of your father, that's how it should be. ”

The eldest man of the Shen family nodded with satisfaction, he walked to the bed, and said to Shen Lun: "Dad, there is a secret letter sent by His Majesty, and the child has specially brought it back for you." ”

Shen Lun was stunned and said in a low voice: "Open it for your father and take a look." ”

The eldest man of the Shen family took out the secret letter from his arms, opened the fire seal, held it in front of Shen Lun, and let Shen Lun read it.

And he, from beginning to end, did not glance at the letter.

Shen Hao wanted to take a look, but the Shen family obviously didn't mean to let him see it.

Shen Lun lay on the bed, glanced at the long letter over and over again, and after a while, he let out a long sigh, and said with a somewhat unsettled expression: "Burn it......"

The Shen family was stunned, nodded, took out the fire twist, and burned the long letter in front of Shen Lun.

"Dad, you can take it with you at home, and the child has to rush to the yamen, recently His Majesty has frequently issued official documents, and there are a lot of government affairs to deal with."

"Go for it......"

After Shen Lun read the letter, he didn't seem to be in a good mood, and when he heard the words of the Shen family's elder, he just nodded imperceptibly and commanded.

After the Shen family's eldest man gave the salute, he left the bedroom.

After he left, Shen Hao held the medicine bowl and asked curiously, "Dad, what did Your Majesty tell you in the letter?" ”

Shen Lun glanced at his son and said lightly: "It's nothing, I just know that after my father is sick, I will write to say hello." ”

Hearing this answer, Shen Hao pouted with lack of interest.

The Shen family has already left, and there is no need for him to pretend, immediately he called the butterfly outside the door to come in and feed the medicine, he ran to the table in the room, picked up the deposit ticket on the table, and kissed him greedily.

"Dad, I'll go out first......"

Shen Hao greeted casually, and without waiting for Shen Lun to respond, he rushed out of the Shen Mansion with the deposit ticket.

He ran all the way to the most luxurious red hall in Datong Mansion City, and called ten girls in one breath to accompany him to make a fuss in the dark.

After three days of fuss, and after the deposit of 1,000 silver coins was tossed by him, he was satisfied and ready to leave the Red Pavilion.

"Hey, isn't this Shen Er?"

Just as Shen Hao was going downstairs, a meaningful voice came into his ears.

As soon as Shen Hao heard this voice, he knew who it was, and immediately ran down without looking back.

However, that person did not mean to let Shen Hao go.

I only listened to the man: "Shen Er, now your eldest brother is the prefect of Datong Mansion, ranking in the fourth grade, but he is a feudal territory, so he didn't get you an official to do?" Hahaha......"

Since Shen Lun cut off Shen Hao's career as the master, the word "official" has become Shen Hao's heart.

Whenever someone mentioned it, he was very angry.

Immediately, Shen Hao turned around and glared angrily at a strong man on the second floor of the Red Pavilion who was holding a girl and teasing him, "Jia San, what kind of thing are you, when I was an official, you were just a pawn." What right do you have to shout before me? ”

"Yo Yo Yo! Temper tantrum! Come and take a look, Shen Er's temper is gone. ”

Jia San called friends and laughed at Shen Hao together.

Seeing that there were more and more people laughing at him, Shen Hao shouted angrily: "You group of Qiu Ba, what qualifications do you have to judge me." When I was an official, when you saw me, you didn't kneel down in front of me and kowtow.

Even if I have no official or lord now, I am not something you can provoke. ”

"Yo Yo Yo! I'm so scared. ”

Jia San made a frightened look, but the ridicule in his eyes was difficult to hide.

"In the eyes of you scholars, we are indeed a mound. But it's our hills, the huge Yanjiang and Mountain. Your Majesty will not speak ill of us, and you, a flat-headed commoner, dare to threaten us.

Do you think that the eldest brother behind you who is the prefect can cure us?

As long as we don't violate the laws of the Great Yan Kingdom, even Your Majesty will not embarrass us. ”

"Shen Hao, it's not that we look down on you, but what you've done makes people look down on you. When we were soldiers in Haoshuichuan, I saw your nest with my own eyes.

We know better than anyone what you look like.

Don't pretend to be tall in front of us. ”

"Look at you like this, I'm afraid that your brother has spent all the money you gave you, right? Hey, hey, hey! We haven't read for a few days, but when we followed His Majesty to the east and west, we saved a lot of floating money.

Not long ago, I went to sea with people and made a lot of money.

We are old acquaintances, as long as you shout three times, you are a wreck.

We'll cover everything you need to spend here. ”

In the face of Jia San's humiliation, Shen Hao's face was gloomy and could drip blood, he clenched his fists angrily, and wanted to fight with Jia San.

However, in the end, cowardice prevailed over his courage.

Don't look at Jia San's fat like a pig now, he used to be a fierce pawn on the battlefield, and he could beat five Shen Hao with one hand.

Jia San looked at Shen Hao's aggrieved appearance and looked even more proud.

"What's the matter, shout or not, as long as you shout. We're in this restaurant, and we'll give you a month's package. ”

"Yes, yes, as long as you shout, you're a wreck. I'll cover you for a month, too. ”

"Don't you like the little butterflies here? As long as you shout that you are a wreck, I will help you wrap him up and let you play. ”

“……”

The old brothers who were greeted by Jia San opened their mouths one after another to humiliate Shen Hao.

Shen Hao trembled with anger, he endured the grievances in his heart, and prepared to hide his face and leave.

At this moment, a voice slowly sounded.

"A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated! Isn't it too much to wait for a group of barbarians to humiliate a scholar like this? ”

"Who is so outspoken?"

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw a rich middle-aged man, slowly pacing into the Red Pavilion.

When Shen Hao saw him, it was like seeing a savior.

"Brother Kong!"

Kong Lianjie walked to Shen Hao's side, waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Let's see how Brother Wei can help you get back the field." ”

Shen Hao nodded heavily, seemingly convinced of Kong Lianjie.

Jia San stared at Kong Lianjie and said coldly: "Who are you, you dare to meddle in our brother's grievances." ”

Kong Lianjie stepped forward neither humbly nor arrogantly, and said disdainfully: "There are people who take care of uneven things, and there are people who shovel uneven roads." Kong just can't get used to the arrogant and domineering appearance of you people who rely on a little money. ”

Jia San was stunned, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "So, you want to compare money with our brothers?" ”

"You can try!"

"Good! Bustard, come here. ”

Jia San greeted.

The old bustard, with fat buttocks and plump breasts, staggered in the middle of the two of them.

"Hey, two masters, make money with anger, make money with anger."

Jia San pouted and said, "One hundred dollars, this red pavilion is full of our brother today, please let this person out." ”

The old bustard's eyes lit up, but he said, "Third master, aren't you embarrassed." We open the door to do business, kick the guests out today, and maybe the guests won't come tomorrow.

I'm not a money-grubbing person, and I can't smash a signboard just because of a little money. ”

Jia San glared at the old bustard, and said arrogantly: "Three hundred money." ”

"Oh, the third master is arrogant."

The old bustard screamed.

Then she looked at Kong Lianjie in embarrassment, "This master, ...... you look?"

The old bustard is also an old hen who has been in the red dust for a long time, and he has long been surprised by this kind of fighting for wealth in the green building.

It is impossible for her not to earn money, and all her rhetoric is to make greater benefits for herself.

The reason why he didn't rush to get rid of Kong Lianjie after hearing that Jia San took out three hundred money, but looked at him in embarrassment, was waiting for him to bid.
