"Is this the second young master from the fourth family of the Shen family?" The male duck's voice was sharp and harsh: "Why don't you even have a carriage? Do you want to rub against your aunt's carriage?"

Before Shen Rui and Chen Quan entered the clan school, Guo Sheng had already walked over with his chin and looked at Shen Rui contemptuously. Seeing him like this, Chen Quan couldn't help but frown and said, "Why are you talking nicely?"

Guo Sheng curled his lips and said, "I'm telling the truth, but I'm not lying, why isn't it right? He is younger than me, and starting from my third cousin, don't he call me a cousin and treat me? Do you want me to flatter him? This is the style of the Shen family's children, and it's nothing to be looked down upon."

Chen Quan snorted lightly: "I am still your own cousin, and I have never met you. My cousin is really a crow falling on the pig, and I can't see any lust."

Guo Sheng was dissatisfied and said, "But yesterday I took a day off but didn't see my third cousin. I asked me to give a big gift to my third cousin? My third cousin is so big-faced, and I don't know if it can be with it."

Chen Quan raised his eyebrows and said, "In this tribe, it is either a relative or a cousin. If you really talk about Eli Li, you will not be a shrimp and you will not be able to get up, it will be meaningless."

A carriage came over from behind, and Chen Quan ignored Guo Sheng and asked Shen Rui to follow him.

Guo Sheng frowned, glared at Chen Quan's back, and scolded the two twin boys: "Jinnu, Yunu is not following! If it's too late to delay my brother, you must be careful!"

Shen Rui followed Shen Quan, feeling helpless. The sound of the duck voice was really unbearable. Several of the boys among their classmates were in the voice change period, but most of them were worried and rarely spoke. Only Chen Qin, whom I saw yesterday and Guo Sheng, whom I just saw, were both nagging and his voice was like a scraping iron sheet, and they really couldn't stand it.

However, Guo Sheng was also strange. Since he was Chen Quan's direct cousin and did not say that he was not close at all, the cousins ​​looked like they were not dealing with each other.

When he arrived at the school, there were already seven or eight students sitting in it. Dong Shuang also arrived. He sat in his seat, holding a book of "The University" in his hand, and was reciting it silently. The other students sat in groups of three or three, whispering. Seeing Shen Rui coming, Dong Shuang nodded slightly and continued to look at the book. He was no longer as restrained as yesterday, and he was a little calmer and calmer.

Shen Rui smiled slightly and took out the book. It is not a bad thing to have a deskmate like Dong Shuang who is determined to be an imperial examination. He may also encourage him in his studies. Chen Jue said yesterday that in addition to the two nephews of Mu Zi, Dong Shuang in the "Xia Geng" class is the youngest, and he is the same as him and has a smaller month. Perhaps in him, he can observe how the real twelve-year-old Ming student acts.

Liu Cheng arranged the four treasures of the study and went to the hut with Chen Quan's book boy. Everyone's book boys sat there and could listen to the lectures of the Master. The Shen family school is a charity school. Children in the clan can send their children to school regardless of the legitimate branches to the age of enlightenment, and they do not have to pay for laziness. The clan even pays for some money. The children of the in-laws and old friends from the family come out from the heads of the house. These people are not free, but have to pay laziness to the clan. This part of the cost is not fixed, and they can do it within their ability. Students in poor families can also use two carts of wood; those who have rich families donate money directly to the clan to study silver and two silk.

Because the admission limit card is not strict, there is no such thing as reading. Only the book boys who brought in to serve the pen and mo, although they are slaves, can listen in the hut next to them.

As soon as Shen Rui looked in half a page, there was a shadow in front of him. Without looking up, he only looked at Tuxin's royal blue clothes and the golden lock piece that was the size of a fist of Jin Huanghuang, and knew that it was Chen Quan's cousin. Shen Rui raised his head and saw Guo Sheng frowning at him in confusion.

"Why are you sitting here? I made an appointment with Chen Xiu. I will sit with Xiaodi Dong in the month of the exam." Guo Sheng said with some annoyance in his doubts.

When Shen Rui heard this, he glanced at Dong Shuang, feeling a little impatient.

Is this one annoying? Guo Sheng and Chen Xiu are both fourteen or five years old. In theory, they are not young. Why are they so naive? At this age, they can end up in their studies and get engaged in family affairs. They are about to become a childish game. If you want to compete with me for friends? Three years ago, Chen Jin and Chen Quan were also at this age, but those two young men are so well-behaved and sensible. The two middle-aged boys in front of him deserve a beating.

Dong Shuang stood up suddenly, his face flushed, not ashamed, but annoyed: "Brother Guo, I have told you that I will concentrate on studying and have no time to socialize and play with Brother Guo. Brother Chen sat with me, which was arranged by Mr. Dong. If Guo Sheng is dissatisfied, he will tell Mr. Dong to go!"

Before he could change his voice, his voice was crisp and glutinous. Even if his tone was not good, it would not make people feel annoying.

Guo Sheng muttered unwillingly: "I won't bother Brother Dong to study hard, can't I study together and prepare for the exam together?"

Dong Shuang sat down with a cold look on his face and ignored Guo Sheng. Guo Sheng stood up again, rolled his eyes at Shen Rui dissatisfiedly, and returned to his seat. Shen Rui glanced at Chen Xiu and found the reason why both of Guo Sheng were staring at the empty seat beside Dong Shuang. With Dong Shuang's attitude of studying alone, he obviously did not have the skill or mood to cultivate friendship with those two. And the two were so arrogant that they were just that their deskmates were too annoying.

Chen Xiu and Guo Sheng are the same deskmates. One is a poor student who is not recognized by the family even though he is arrogant. The other is a beautiful son who is a grand clan's legitimate family. It would be strange if these two people can compete.

Seeing the two people looking at each other, their noses are not their noses, and their eyes are not their cockfighting appearance, Shen Rui was inexplicably feeling.

Dong Shuang beside him whispered: "Brother Chen, don't worry, I won't let anyone disturb Brother Chen anymore because of my reasons, nor will I cause trouble for my second brother!"

The boy's voice was not high, but he was particularly firm. Shen Rui glanced at him, and there was a little smile in his eyes: "Don't think too much, I'm all classmates, so it's okay to talk a few words."

Dong Shuang felt Shen Rui's kindness, picked up the corner of his mouth, nodded slightly, and said "Yes".

When the class bell sounded and Chen Yan came in, the class began.

Dong Shuang picked up the pen and started taking notes. When he wrote a page to change the paper, he saw Shen Rui's movements the same way. He couldn't help but glance at the desk in front of Shen Rui. It was clearly a shorthand, but Shen Rui's running script was as smooth as it was, without any confusion.

Although he had been a deskmate for half a day yesterday, Dong Shuang also knew what it means to "hearing is false, seeing is true", but he did not expect that Shen Rui's handwriting would be so dignified and generous. Shen Rui was obviously a mature young man, steady and honest, and he was serious about learning and wrote good words. Why is the rumors so unbearable?

Is it because he has been reborn for three years of mourning, or is it because of the "stubborn and arrogant" reputation that has something else? Dong Shuang felt a little curious in his heart.

Shen Rui was devoted to listening to the lectures and benefited a lot. No matter how far Chen Yan could go in the imperial examination, he was indeed a good teacher. When it comes to the Four Books, he could easily understand them. The sayings of later generations are "guided" teaching, rather than "indoctrination", which makes people understand more profoundly.

After a class, there was an hour and it felt like a blink of an eye.

Until the bell rang, Chen Yan took the book out and Shen Ruifang put down his pen. The notes in front of him had already been recorded for more than twenty pages. He rubbed his wrists and passed the lessons in class again in his mind. Although he had lived for two lifetimes, he never felt that he could get something for nothing. He was like this in his previous life and this in this life.

He was not afraid of the road to fame and fortune, but he was not arrogant enough to be at his fingertips

But he studied too short. Even though Chen Li taught him the Four Books and Five Classics, he might not be as clear as Chen Yan when he was at Shen Li's height and asked him to tell the most basic things. Shen Rui did not think that he would achieve any good results in the boy exam in the past, but he did not think that he would achieve any good results because he knew that he had been studying ancient Chinese for a short time and lacked foundation. He did not take it seriously, but only thought that the county exam was not the case. Even if the results of the government exam were worse, he would work hard in the college exam in the next year. In the middle, his grades would improve a lot in more than a year.

Now I have listened to Chen Yan’s two lessons. Shen Rui didn't think so because he had the opportunity to build a firmer foundation.

Thinking of this, Shen Rui said to Dong Shuang: "Brother Dong, I haven't come to the clan to study in the past few years. I have many doubts about the gourd swallowing dates I learned at home. I wonder if I can borrow your notes?"

When Dong Shuang heard this, he looked embarrassed and whispered: "My notes..."

Seeing that his expression was not fake, Shen Rui was really embarrassed and hesitated, so he hurriedly said, "If it is inconvenient, forget it, I will ask my master for advice slowly."

Dong Shuang shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't lend it to Brother Chen, but... there are a few boxes of notes, which I often review, but it's not convenient to give to Brother Chen at once. If Brother Chen doesn't blame me, I will give it to Brother Chen in the future? I just don't know if Brother Chen is reading books quickly. If it's slow, I'm afraid I'll use it here too."

When Shen Rui heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will copy it once and return it to Brother Dong. A note is only two or three days, and it will not delay your use..."

Before Dong Shuang could speak, she saw Chen Jue approaching and said, "What are Brother Rui saying? He waved several times, but you can't see it."

Shen Rui looked up and said, "I asked a few questions about my homework, Brother Jue is looking for me?"

"This afternoon is a piano class. I'm impatient with that. Let's go to the street?" Chen Jue said with a bright eyes: "A new restaurant has been opened on Fuqian Street. I heard that it is the imperial chef who came out of the Nanjing Palace. Let's go see it together?"

Students can take the "Six Arts Class" in the afternoon, so Chen Jue has this plan.

Shen Rui thought about the past three years that he had been living in Xilin Zen Temple except for the half year of going out. He had never been touring the city. He nodded and said, "As Brother Jue said that, I will be with you."

Seeing that Dong Shuang next to him showed some expectation, Shen Rui hesitated for a moment, thinking about Chen Jue's temper, but it was still not too much.

The clan house, the grandfather's house.
