I took the imperial examination in the red building

Chapter 156

Lu Xin never expected that he could say "I can't."

He had never seen a man in the world who really said he couldn't do it.

So much so that he was stunned, and finally choked out a sentence: "What's wrong with you?"

He looked Shen Juan up and down, trying to see if there was something wrong with his body.

Shen Juan: "...it's not that."

He frowned: "It's a human being."

Lu Xin let out an ah.

Shen Juancai said: "It's not that I can't, it's that the person I like can't."

Lu Xin is a dumbass, he didn't realize it in a daze: "Your partner...isn't it your partner? Why is she not good enough? She is not a big man, if she can't do it, she can't do it, can you just do it?"

Shen Juan: "..."

It's tiring talking to this girl.

He said: "It's not my partner, I said it's the one I like, he's a man."

Lu Xin let out an oh, and understood: "Men are fine too. Haven't you seen Prince Zhongshun? He loves men so much that the whole world may not know about it, and he didn't say anything!"

Shen Juan: "That's because he is from the royal family, and others dare not say anything, not to mention that the people he likes are either actors or actresses, which one is a serious person?"

Lu Xin: "Then you like decent men? You won't marry a wife and have children in the future?"

Shen Juan lowered his voice: "It's not up to me to decide."

Lu Xin rolled his eyes: "So you're not sure what he wants at all?"

He thought about it carefully, Shen Juan didn't see any man treated differently?Except for his little apprentice... wait, little apprentice? ?

He looked horrified: "Your apprentice??"

Shen Juan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Although Lu Xinren is careless, he will never say what should not be said, Shen Juan is very relieved about this.

Lu Xin said curtly: "You...you are a beast, right?! How old is your little apprentice? You might as well not do it!"

Shen Juan lowered his eyes: "Sixteen."

"Sixteen..." Lu Xin gritted his teeth, "If I hadn't believed in your character, I would have felt that you were pinching someone's grown-up point and preparing to eat grass on the edge of the nest."

Shen Juan looked at him innocently.

Lu Xin asked: "Then what do people think of you? Don't turn around and they treat you as a husband. You old cow wants to gnaw on other people's tender grass."

"I'm only 28." Shen Juan corrected, "I'm just worrying today, he seems to be testing me."

Lu Xin rolled his eyes completely this time: "My lord is 12 years old, why don't you let the old cow eat tender grass?"

Shen Juan didn't listen to him: "Actually, I also have a feeling this year. I know what he is thinking, but I am very hesitant, afraid of delaying him."

It is rare for Lu Xin to be his confidant one day, and he sat down with leisure: "Then tell me, why are you hesitating?"

Shen Juan expressed his worries one by one.

He has also held back for too long, and he is not used to talking about his worries with others. After all, he has never had such entanglements before.

But when encountering Lin Huan's matter, he would always think, ask other people's opinions, see what they say, what will they think?He wanted to listen more, so that he could consider everything for him.

After listening, Lu Xin said: "So you are afraid of the eyes of the world and the disapproval of his parents?"

Shen tired and silent.

Lu Xin said with a smile: "Shen Juan, Shen Juan, when did you care about the eyes of the world? How many people talked about the matter between you and your father? Did you care more than half? How many times did your stepmother beg you? How many times have you heard that filial piety is always used to suppress you? When did you not just throw people out?"

Shen Juan shook his head: "I don't care, but he can't."

Lu Xin pondered for a while: "He is an apprentice you taught, not to mention that you also said that he is testing you now, which means that he has already thought about the consequences. What are you worrying about here?"

"I……"

"You are so hesitant to be a mother-in-law. Could it be that the husband has been working for a long time and wants to take care of everything for others?" Lu Xin shook his head, "Emotional matters are not the same as your past when you were a master and apprentice. Times are different."

He said: "I used to think that I should consider everything for my wife. Later, she scolded me and said that the affairs of two people should be shared together. Husband and wife are husband and wife who share weal and woe. Although you are not husband and wife, you are It’s not too bad.”

Shen tired thoughtfully.

Lu Xin thinks he is timid: "It can be seen that he has a sweetheart, and he has become like a woman. He has lost the courage of the past. You said that your little apprentice tried to test you, and everyone can muster up the courage. But you can't do it, Shen Boda."

Shen Juan: "...I still have something to do, let's go."

Lu Xin jumped: "I am your military adviser?! You are too much!"

Shen Juan said: "The emperor will launch an envoy to select soldiers for military service in a while, and the place under your management will also have new recruits. I guess it is to throw the children of honorable families to practice. Why don't you think about what to do?"

Lu Xin: "..."

It's okay, at least change the news, it's not easy to get some news from his good friend.

He looked at the back of Shen Juan leaving, and was amazed.

This man, with someone he likes, hey, it's different.

Lin Huan had no idea that Brother Juan had gone to ask a friend for advice in a guilty conscience.

He is still giving presents to several elders and juniors in Jia's mansion one by one.

When he arrived at Sister Feng's place, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked Ping'er: "Last winter, I heard in the south that there was a family in Chang'an Mansion. It was a rich man named Zhang, and his family had a daughter named Jin Geer." , it caught people’s fancy, have you heard that?”

Ping'er said: "How did Uncle Lin know? The girl in that family is also unlucky. She was already engaged, but Li Yanei fell in love with her and forced her to retire and marry another. If the other family is more stubborn, then Forget it, but they didn't ask the reason, thinking that the Zhang family had agreed to someone else, and they were angry and refused to leave, while the Zhang family felt that their family had slandered and abused them, and they must leave in anger, so the two families broke out."

[Sweetheart: It’s over, I’m stupid, I remembered this plot is that Zhang’s family and Chang’an’s garrison family were engaged, and Li Yanei wanted to rob, and found Sister Feng, forcing the two of them to commit suicide. After listening to Ping’er’s words, Only to find out that the two families were angry?Has little to do with Li Yanei? 】

[Tutu's ears: Laughing, I also remember the one upstairs, maybe because I read too many bullying novels, in these three families, the biggest bully is always the one with power? 】

[A word disagreement: emmm, according to what I said, the Zhang family didn't do anything wrong, right?The defending family already disliked the Zhang family's style of life, and they were going to withdraw their marriage. Even if the Zhang family was forced to fulfill the marriage contract and marry Jin Ge, would Jin be able to live well in the guard? 】

[A word disagreement: I went to read the original book again, it said that the Zhang family told Li Yanei that Brother Jin had promised him, but Li Yanei insisted on marrying, the Zhang family was in a dilemma, and then the defense family did not distinguish between black and white, He humiliated and insulted Brother Jin, and wanted to file a lawsuit and not be allowed to withdraw the marriage. The Zhang family had no choice, so they went to Beijing to find someone and wanted to forcibly withdraw the marriage. 】

[Here I come to the Red Chamber: It's really outrageous...Jingxu is greedy for money, but I always feel that Sister Feng is right to help the Zhang family...What's wrong is that she can't stand Jingxu's provocative methods, so she forced to take care of this matter, I don't know that Brother Jin and the young master of the defense family committed suicide passionately, and Jingxu didn't tell her? 】

[Here I come to the Red Chamber: When the later generations talked about this matter, they always said that Wang Xifeng was greedy for money and vicious, and forced people to death for money, breaking up their marriages. However, in my opinion, this matter is really unjust. The Zhang family , the defender’s house became like that, and in the end, it had nothing to do with Li Yanei, but the in-laws became enemies... I really don’t like Brother Jin and the defender. It’s a pity that they died, and a good couple who might grow old together was torn apart like this , but I don't agree, I think it's their parents who are really to blame. 】

Lin Huan looked at the barrage, but also felt that this was really weird, so he quickly asked Wang Xifeng, "Did they ask the second sister-in-law?"

Ping'er said: "Isn't that right? The old nun in the Mantou'an made a lot of hype. You also know what kind of person Second Mistress is. She likes to take care of things the most. After hearing this, don't you just get excited?"

Lin Huan's heart tightened: "Then she really cares?"

Ping'er exclaimed: "How can it be? At that time our second master was at home, and he happened to listen to Jingxu's words with him, so he was pushed back on the spot, saying that if you want to die, don't take us with you."

"It turned out that Jingxu was not a good person at all. The rich man Zhang was desperate, looking for ways everywhere, holding a lot of money and wanted to get rid of the marriage, Jingxu took a big package, and found a lot of people, but they refused. Then, she thought of our second grandma, but the second master heard the people in the yamen talking about it outside, so he got angry on the spot." Ping'er pursed her lips and smiled, "It's the same sentence, our second grandma What kind of person? Can let her fool me like this?"

Lin Huan understood—Wang Xifeng is so strong, can she endure Jingxu begging many people in the family, and only think of her in the end?It's her face that didn't throw people out.

Ping'er said: "Second Master also said that his official and famous posts are very important. In the future, he is not allowed to be given to anyone casually. Second Mistress loves him like what? Can you not listen? These days are still talking about it. , She said that Uncle Lin is not at home, she has no fun."

Lin Huan then pointed to the things he had brought: "I know that my second sister-in-law is bored at home, among these three boxes, one is for my second sister-in-law, one is for my second elder brother Lian, and half of the other box is for my sister-in-law. Yours, the half box is for the elder sister."

Ping'er pursed her lips and smiled: "It's hard for you to go out and still miss me."

Wang Xifeng heard it inside, and came out and said, "Can I still be greedy for your things? Why don't you bring us something when you go out to play? It's free to get you a lot of things. Ping'er, go and give me the mahogany box on the west attic." Grandpa moved over."

She said: "My uncle sent it to me, you can play with it."

The two talked for a while, and a woman rushed in happily: "It's terrible! Second Mistress! Our eldest lady has been promoted to Fengzao Palace Shangshu and Xiande Concubine! The old lady is asking people to go to the palace. Thank you!"

Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up: "Is this true?"

"Can this be false? Second Mistress, go to the front!"

They couldn't help but Lin Huan was a little confused: "Didn't Brother Juan say that Jia Yuanchun was a concubine to fool people when Jiangnan was at a disadvantage? Why is Jia Yuanchun still conferred when Uncle Lin is fine?"

Then, a sentence in the live broadcast room made him enlightened.

[Speechless: Who would think there is a lot of money in their pockets? 】

Lin Huan: It seems... yes.

Who would think too much money? !
