Chapter 95 Two-Wire Operation
Hou Fangyu was sprayed all over the floor by Shen Shuren looking for his teeth, and everyone who came to Meixianglou came forward to persuade him.

Shen Shuren took advantage of the situation and restrained himself a little. After all, he still needs to pay attention to his image in the Nanjing literary world. After all, it was only 14 years in Chongzhen. .

However, even without those degrading attacks, Shen Shuren still has ways to ruin Hou Fangyu's reputation.

He pretended to give Li Zhenli a face, sat down to drink tea, and stopped entanglement.Then he suddenly turned to Yang Wencong behind Hou Fangyu, pointed at him with a folding fan and halberd and scolded him:
"If you want people not to know, you have to do it yourself. In the name of his father, Hou Fangyu tried to sell an official to ask for bribes but failed, and he couldn't get the money together. Today, he suddenly has money. You gave it to him, right?"

As soon as this remark came out, Hou Fangyu was only a little surprised, but Yang Wencong's face changed drastically.

The rest of the dozens of literati in the venue were just a little inexplicable.

"It turns out that Mr. Hou borrowed the money tonight, and he really slapped his face to pretend to be fat."

"But so what? It's nothing to be ashamed of being poor and happy, and it's okay to borrow money. Maybe it's because he is infatuated with Miss Li."

The first reaction of most of the uninformed people was that they did not feel ashamed of being poor and sentimental, but instead felt a little disgust for Shen Shusheng.

As a friend of Hou Fangyu, Mao Xiang is also considered to be one of the most talented people in the Jinling circle. Hearing this, he couldn't help but stand up:

"Shen Futai! Although you are a gold medal winner and a successful young man, you have the money to look down on poor students like me. But isn't it too much to laugh at other people's poverty? A gentleman speaks righteousness but never speaks profit! Being rich is great!"

Shen Shuren crossed his hands in front of his chest, quietly waiting for the other party to finish speaking.Just like a tiger listening to a small animal barking at him, he is neither anxious nor angry at all.

He is also a principled person, and he does not see who tramples on those literati in Nanjing, or thinks that "the friend of the enemy is also the enemy."

Shen Shuren has one criterion for those existences that are too weak to be a threat, whether they should be trampled to death: what is the character of this person in history, and whether he has been a traitor.

Although Mao Xiang had a close relationship with Hou Fangyu, after all, he lived in seclusion in history and refused to be an official. Based on this, Shen Shuren didn't want to embarrass him directly, so he could give him a chance.

After the other party finished speaking completely, Shen Shuren still stared at the other party sharply, making the other party feel guilty, so Shen Shuren shook his finger and said:

"Pretty scholar, why do you think I'm talking about profit and laughing at Hou Fangyu's poverty? I can't understand people's words, so it's no wonder I failed in the five tests—you ask Yang Wencong, he borrowed Hou Fangyu's 6000 taels, Where did it come from."

As he said that, Shen Shuren's eyes suddenly became brighter, and he turned to Yang Wencong, with a stern voice: "To be a man, you have to be brave! If you dare to lie, I am sure to expose you! Don't underestimate the intelligence of our Shen family!"

That last sentence is pure blackmail.

In fact, Shen Shuren had no hard evidence, he just reported the answer directly because he had watched "Peach Blossom Fan".

But Yang Wencong saw that he had always controlled the rhythm of the audience tonight, and he was frightened for a long time, and he had a deep and unpredictable fear of the Shen family's power.Being cheated like this again at this moment, he was immediately speechless.

Shen Shuren chased after the victory: "This money belongs to Ruan Dacheng, a friend of your brother-in-law's brother!"

As soon as these words came out, all the literati in the circle subconsciously leaned away, as if a shock wave had been emitted from Yang Wencong and Hou Fangyu.

Mao Xiang had an unbelievable expression on his face: "Hou...my brother! Is this true?!"

Neither Hou Fangyu nor Yang Wencong dared to speak, Qiqi Ai Ai, Mao Xiang and the others roughly understood what was going on.

"From now on, you and I will break up our friendship!" Mao Xiang left with a voice of hatred, feeling quite sorry to lose this person.

That's Ruan Dacheng!At the beginning, people in their restoration society jointly signed the "Liudu Anti-Riot Public Exposure" and shouted at everyone Ruan Dacheng, but now their old friend actually accepts Ruan Dacheng's benefits. Isn't this collusion with the eunuch party?Who can afford to lose this man!

Originally, Hou Fangyu and Yang Wencong's stealing of money was relatively secretive.Others still have room for maneuver, and they can privately persuade Hou Fangyu to pay back the money and settle the matter.

Now there is the butterfly effect of Shen Shuren, directly revealing the truth in public.It is inevitable for Hou Fangyu and Yang Wencong to evade, and make a public embarrassment in front of the guests at the literary event tonight, and his reputation will be rotten from then on, and there is no way to restore it.

The guests left the venue one after another, and they didn't want to watch the singer perform, drink and chat anymore, and shook their heads and sighed as they left.

Such a change made the people in Meixianglou very passive. Li Zhenli complained in her heart, but she didn't dare to offend Shen Shuren, she just hated how she recruited Hou Fangyu, a boneless person, to take Ruan Dacheng's money.

After this incident, how many of those literati who claim to be noble will avoid Meixiang Tower in the future?This business is worse.

After everyone dispersed, Shen Shuren took the time to press Li Zhenli: "Can I take Xiangjun away?"

"Slow down at Shenfutai," Li Zhenli smiled uglier than crying, and while asking her daughters to send Li Xiangjun out, she seemed to have thought of something, begging Shen Shuren in a begging tone,
"Shen Futai, I have something to ask. If you still want to come to Meixiang Building to redeem someone in the future, can you say hello in advance? We dare not hold a banquet and invite guests to bid. You just give the number, don't let us It’s okay to suffer too much.”

She was completely frightened by Shen Shuren's uproar, and she didn't dare to play tricks with Shen Shuren to drive up prices, for fear that if there was another business, she would be completely unable to do business.

Shen Shuren didn't care about these things at all, and casually dropped a promise, and floated away with Li Xiangjun.

……

On the way back to Shen's house, the carriage that Li Xiangjun sat in was still her own, to be precise, it was given to her daughter by Li Zhenli.

The 8000 taels of silver have been collected, and it is also appropriate to take some carriages and horses when sending off my daughter.This is also the custom in the late Ming Dynasty, to save some dignity for the oiran lady, like a dowry from her natal family.

The interior decoration of the car is also very gorgeous and soft, smoked with countless precious spices.

Before entering the gate of the mansion, Shen Shuren would not drive with her, which was also the custom at that time, but Li Xiangjun's car could not go through the main entrance, but had to go through the side door or the back door.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the garden inside the side door, Shen Shucai came to help him personally, and Chen Yuanyuan who stayed at home all day also came.When Li Xiangjun saw the two of them, he was still a little ashamed.

She doesn't have any relationship with Shen Shuren, at most she just had some fantasies, knowing that Mr. Shen is an existence she can't afford, and he is also a person who is well-known in the world and a hero.

But admiration and longing, after all, cannot replace the relationship between a man and a woman. Everything happened so fast that she was at a loss.

Fortunately, Shen Shuren is not impatient, and Chen Yuanyuan's body is not inconvenient these few days, and it will not be inconvenient until the beginning of next month, at least seven or eight days away.

He took the initiative to offer an olive branch: "Miss Li, don't be nervous, we have agreed, I will rescue you from the fire pit, and prevent you from falling into the clutches of beasts like Zuo Liangyu. You listen to my arrangement and play by ear.

I have always kept my word, and I will not force women to commit themselves to me, so you just stay and get used to it.If there is any inconvenience, just tell your sister Yuanyuan. "

Li Xiangjun is still dizzy so far, and she is still a little nervous when she hears Shen Shuren mention the business:
"Is the young master going to deal with Zuo Liangyu soon? Forgive me for speaking bluntly. I heard that Zuo Liangyu is cruel and domineering, with more than one hundred thousand soldiers. Now the young master only has one mansion as his foundation, so he won't cause trouble for his upper body?"

Shen Shuren patted her on the shoulder tenderly. This was the first time that Shen Shuren touched the other person's body consciously, and gave an encouraging smile:

"You and Ms. Bian have read a lot, but they are still not ready. Of course, this kind of matter is in my own hands. I can turn my face whenever I want.

Today when I used words to run on Hou Fangyu, did he dare to say in public that he wanted to redeem you for Zuo Liangyu?He didn't dare!Therefore, at this time, whoever takes the initiative to bring this matter up and tell the truth is the one who is slapping Zuo Liangyu - live your life with peace of mind. "

Shen Shuren himself was very satisfied with today's disposal, and he pushed Hou Fangyu so hard that he didn't dare to talk nonsense.This is tantamount to turning the time bomb into a remote bomb, and the detonator is still in Shen Shuren's hands.

Li Xiangjun's mood couldn't be better or worse after listening to it, but it became more complicated.

She could see that Mr. Shen was very righteous and principled to his friends.But what happened today was not because of love after all.

In such a short period of time, no one would believe that true love could be produced.

……

There was nothing to say all night, Li Xiangjun monopolized a courtyard, insomnia until dawn, before falling into a deep sleep.

Shen Shuren didn't touch her, but went back to rest with Chen Yuanyuan.

After one or two days, several people read books in the garden every day, chatting with each other to improve their understanding.Shen Shuren also gave Li Xiangjun some fancy clothes, jewelry and precious incense.

Shen Shuren is not a hypocritical person, there is a stunning beauty in the mansion for some reason, even if he does not sleep, it is very cool to talk about ancient and modern Chinese and foreign experiences, and show off his man's knowledge.

Even for aspiring men, this kind of knowledge-convincing thing is more fulfilling than pure physical communication.

Li Xiangjun's understanding of literature and history is not as good as Bian Yujing's, but she can barely handle it, so Shen Shuren won't say that an ancient person taught him a lesson, and she doesn't even know who that ancient person is.

The day came to the 28th of the first lunar month in a blink of an eye, and Li Xiangjun had almost adapted to the daily life in Shen's house.

Early this morning, the butler Shen Fu found the young master and reported some news:

"Master, Wu Shanzhang of the Imperial College, and Xu Shilang from the Ministry of Officials, all sent letters. Wu Shanzhang said that the latest evaluation has been handled for Zheng Chenggong, the proctor student, and he is outstanding in his studies.

Xu Shilang said that the small officials you confessed last time have also been recruited to Nanjing, and their performance in the past two years has been assessed.If you have time in these two days, you can go to the official office and have an interview with them to see if they are willing to contribute to the country and accept new positions at risk. "

Shen Shuren got up immediately: "Get your horse ready!"
