Chapter 92
After roughly finalizing the matter of Li Xiangjun, Shen Shuren chatted with the other girls for a while, and then prepared to send them back.

All the women also looked favorably on him, and sincerely asked some questions, and the atmosphere of the chat was very harmonious.

Before leaving, Shen Shuren casually asked Bian Yujing a few words about the friendship between her and Wu Meicun.

Bian Yujing also told the truth, admitting that the two had no relationship, but Wu Siye was very interested in talking about the rise and fall of history with her, and felt that she was quite talented in this area, and she was a strange woman, that's all.

After a little thought, Shen Shuren roughly understood this mentality.

Many men who like to talk about ancient and modern times like to show off their opinions in front of others.

It's a pity that the vast majority of women in the world are not interested in historical and military topics, so that men can only chat with men most of the time.Once you meet a woman who is willing to listen and talk about her opinions, she will immediately be sought after by men as a treasure.

It's like a male-frequency historical article at a certain point in later generations. If there is an insightful senior female reader, the author can be promoted to the moderator of the comment area by the author in minutes.

Wu Meicun should have this mentality towards Bian Yujing.And Bian Yujing's admiration for Wu Meicun is like a female book lover's admiration for a talented historical writer.But in history, she finally found out that the object of her admiration did not plan to develop more with her, and she could not bear the responsibility if she had a wife and concubine, so she became a nun.

That being the case, Shen Shuren also left an introduction, saying that he would go to the Imperial Academy to visit Wu Shanzhang in a few days.At that time, please ask Miss Bian to accompany the guests.

Bian Yujing was already happy to do so, of course he happily agreed.

……

After sending a carriage to send Li Xiangjun and Bian Yujing back to Meixiang Building, Shen Shuren turned back to deal with Liu Rushi and Gu Mei.

He has nothing serious to cooperate with these two women, so he doesn't pay much attention to them, but because of this, he doesn't have any interests involved.

Everyone was very frank and talked very purely.At the end, Shen Shuren just couldn't help reminding:
"Miss Liu, Miss Gu, you have a lot of experience, and I have nothing to teach you. There is a sentence, although it is not suitable for me to say, but I still want to remind - if you want to get out of the sea of ​​suffering in the future, please focus on character. , are all false.

You are all amazing women with poetic talents, and you will definitely be remembered by future generations.In this autumn of national calamity, no one can guarantee that they will not encounter accidents or fall into the hands of thieves.Whether you are trapped in a bandit or a Tartar, integrity is the most important thing. "

Shen Shuren also knew that Liu and Gu had met with unkind people in history. They married Qian Qianyi and Gong Dingzi, two of the "Three Great Masters of Jiangzuo", who were traitors. He really couldn't bear it, so he reminded this sentence.

At least at this moment, he himself has no selfish desires, nor any lust.

There is no shortage of stunning beauties around him, and since he doesn't know Liu and Gu well, he can't be impulsive.

What's more, these two are seniors, Liu Rushi is already 24 years old, three years older than him, and Gu Mei is also one year older than him, he didn't think in that direction.It's just pure pity and pity, and I don't want these strange women to leave more stigma.

Liu Rushi waited to hear him speak sincerely, and his eyes were quite clear, not like a womanizer, and he was a little moved in his heart.For Shen Shuren to be able to think from these angles, it can be regarded as seeing something that no one has seen before.

The scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty would not have thought that the women around them would also be famous in history books, and they would not care whether it was a good name or a stigma.

Liu Rushi couldn't help asking: "Mr. Shen, do you think that among the Jinling scholars, there are many upright and noble people who are inconsistent and lose their integrity?
Many of the guests I have met in my life have survived the maiming of the eunuchs, and they have been able to leave the field for many years, and they are still living in poverty.Sister Hengbo is just like me, we have never chosen a guest based on MG in our lives, we know people clearly.

The young master is successful in his youth, and he can persist in admonishing and not flattering himself, which is indeed worthy of admiration.What we said just now, we will take it as if there is nothing to encourage, and we will definitely pay attention to it, thank you for your kind words. "

Shen Shuren didn't care, he knew that Liu Rushi had his own set of standards for judging people, and he felt that people who could endure poverty and not being an official would not be flattering ministers or dishonest people.

This is not something that can be reversed with a few words, and it is not suitable for them to communicate with each other now, so let's persuade them when they have a chance in the future, and forget it if they don't have a chance.

……

The four girls went back to their respective homes, sighing and discussing gossip about Shen Shuren along the way.

Liu Rushi and Gu Mei were somewhat vigilant in their hearts, Liu Rushi said to Gu Mei: "Sister Hengbo, let me calm down and think about it, although Mr. Shen's words are not profound, they are honest words, and they don't seem to be selfish.

In this difficult time, to choose a person is to choose character.You and I are at this age, and within a year or two at most, we will have to find a way out.At any rate, Mr. Mu Zhai is still poor and happy, and he can stay without an official position for several years without yielding.Mr. Zhilu you met recently, I heard that the official voice is slightly flawed.

If it really doesn't work, let's find a way to save more money, redeem ourselves first and wait and see what happens. In this world, I don't know when it will... Sigh. "

On the other side, after returning to Meixiang Building, Bian Yujing surrounded Li Xiangjun asking questions and gossiping.After all, Li Xiangjun had made up his mind, and he might be redeemed by Shen Shuren.No matter how she is arranged in the future, she will definitely be able to enjoy security.In such a situation, the other sisters in Meixianglou must be envied by everyone, so that Li Xiangjun dared not speak up for the time being.

Bian Yujing chirped like a bird: "Sister, you are lucky. You praised Sister Yuanyuan at lunch just now. In a blink of an eye, you will be like Sister Yuanyuan.

Mr. Shen just asked me to accompany him to see Mr. Meicun in a few days, so you will definitely go too?One of you and I poured tea for Mr. Meicun, and the other poured tea for Mr. Shen, so there are different generations. "

Li Xiangjun gave her a doting look: "You little hoof, do you still expect me to call you mistress? While saying that my life is good, the other side is sour. If you really envy me, let's go together. I think Mr. Meicun is also in the literary world." Seniors, with high morals and high prestige, would not do those ideas.

You just didn't know Mr. Shen before, but now you know him, and you know that he has such a unique vision for reading history and extraordinary insights, can you still get along? "

Bian Yujing blushed, and changed the topic with a bit of backbone: "Although the words are good, but after all, there are first-come, first-served, we are still Qinglings, how can we change our opinions when we see good ones, and we don't have to be looked down upon. Let it be Bar.

To be honest, today I heard Mr. Shen and Zhang Shilang talk about the financial gains and losses of the Song, Yuan and current dynasties.I couldn't help but want to record his words. "

Li Xiangjun hastily reminded: "Don't! Some things, if you talk about the government and leave words, it will inevitably cause trouble. If you are interested, ask for advice a few times, and keep it in your heart. It's not too late to summarize and record it when time passes. .Even if you forget it, it’s a big deal to come to the door and let him say it again.”

Bian Yujing thought it was very reasonable, so she sensiblely didn't make any further incidents.

……

When Shen Shuren arrived in Nanjing, his residence was still in Bailuzhou, the five-entry small house he bought a year and a half ago.

It was the first time for Chen Yuanyuan and others to live here, and the environment of the Happy Walk was quite novel.

After going through too many things today, when she was resting that night, Chen Yuanyuan was also on her mind, and tried her best to serve the young master well.

Shen Shuren could clearly feel the change in her state of mind and comforted her with gentle words several times.

"Yuanyuan, you don't have to be like this, what happened today?"

"Young master must be too tired to worry about the country's affairs and the court's financial resources every day. Just follow me once, lie still and let the slave family serve you."

Shen Shuren felt much more relaxed physically, and sighed: "I know, you must think that Xiangjun's redemption will be a part of your favor. I really do it for big things, and the others are secondary. No matter who comes, I will It was you at first, and this will never change."

Chen Yuanyuan's heart throbbed, trembled a few times, and bent down:

"The slave family is not jealous, it is because the slave family sincerely and voluntarily does so. The young master is doing important things, and his daily life should not be delayed. No matter what, there should be two people serving him, and he can take over when the slave family is inconvenient. Sister Xiaowan is in Suzhou. It’s just the right time to redeem another one.”

Shen Shuren tightened his arms: "Aren't you jealous? Where did you learn this trick? I didn't see you know it before."

Chen Yuanyuan's face turned red: "When the banquet was over today, I chatted with Miss Liu, talking about your hard work, and wanted to save you effort... Ask me what you are doing so clearly! Anyway, the slave family will never let you down in this life."

……

It was very labor-saving for Shen Shuren to be served, so it was inevitable that he had to ask for a few more times.

It's like when encountering a discount event, buying, buying, and buying will always be impulsive. At the end of the calculation, it is found that the total amount of money spent is actually more.

So the next day he slept until near noon and did not go out all day, so he stayed in the yard to recuperate.

Until the third day, Shen Shuren was debating whether to go to Wu Weiye first and talk to Zheng Chenggong about important officials, or to redeem Li Xiangjun first.

As a result, early in the morning, Li Xiangjun did his best and asked the maid to secretly deliver a message.

It is said that her adoptive mother, Li Zhenli, the owner of Meixiang Building, has set a date, and three days later will be the day of her redemption banquet. Please tell Shen Shuren to keep quiet and show that you are determined to win, lest the opponent also temporarily raise more money, and then it will be reversed. Price gouging.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the oirans groomed their cages or even redeemed themselves directly, and they would not allow sneak attacks. They usually held a big banquet, which was similar to an auction.

The bustards are unscrupulous existences, of course they hope to drive up the price, so once there are new guests joining the banquet, she will try to delay for a few more days, notify the other old customers of the identity information of the new guests, and encourage the guests to raise money compete.

This is similar to an auction. Once someone bids, the auctioneer has to shout "how much once/twice/three times" again, and will not give you a chance to kill in seconds and make a sneak attack.

Fortunately, Shen Shuren wanted to do great things, so he was not short of thousands of taels of silver. If he could hold a bomb that could humiliate and irritate Zuo Liangyu at any time, and control the detonation time by himself, this amount of money would be a bargain.

Li Xiangjun couldn't go through the formalities for the time being, so Shen Shuren came up with a backup plan first, called Li Xiangjun and Bian Yujing, and asked Wu Meicun, the secretary of the Imperial College, to come out for a drink.
