Lin Yanchao and Shen Yongmao passed the corridor and came to the back garden of Shenfu.

This back garden was built by Shen Shixing imitated Jiangnan Gardens, and invited his disciple Xu Taishi to repair it. There are all kinds of pavilions, water pavilions, and bridge pavilions in the garden. Therefore, when Lin Yanchao walked to this back garden, he saw a bit like a humble administrator's garden.

Lin Yanchao and Shen Yongmao asked while walking, "Jingzhong, what books do you read on weekdays?"

Shen Yongmao said respectfully: "Read all books, but do not seek to understand them very much, and the skill is not deep."

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay to read the book to do your best. It's what you are looking for in the book. There is a golden house in the book and Yan Ruyu in the book."

Shen Yongmao was stunned when he heard this sentence, but when he thought that Lin Yanchao said casually, he suddenly hit his mind, his face suddenly turned red.

Seeing his face, Lin Yanchao smiled and asked, "When talking about the golden house, Jingzhong, do you have a family?"

Shen Yongmao was a little absent-minded and said casually: "My father said that I had not achieved my career and said that I would get married after I passed the exam."

Lin Yanchao asked, "So he has already made a marriage contract. I wonder which family's daughter?"

Shen Yongmao said without any joy: "It is the daughter of Lord Xu, the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice."

Lin Yanchao thought to himself that the two ministers of the Ministry of Justice, named Xu, were Xu Xuemo, a Jinshi in the 29th year of Jiajing. He served as an important minister of the three dynasties, and was also a fellow townsman in Suzhou in Shen Shixing. Marrying this person was like having more arms for Shen Shixing.

Of course, this marriage is considered a good match. A grandson of a court and a daughter of an autumn official from the Ministry of Justice, both sides are fellow villagers. In addition, Shen Shixing's youngest son married Dong Fen's granddaughter. Dong Fen served as an official for many years, and he didn't know many of his disciples and old officials, and they were all used by Shen Shixing.

However, Lin Yanchao didn't seem to be happy about the marriage at all when he saw Shen Yongmao's expression. He thought that although this was purely a political marriage, he married a woman from the Xian Gong family, which was not much worse than a royal princess. Shen Yongmao didn't have to be so sad.

Lin Yanchao said deliberately: "So that's the case, I really want to congratulate you."

Shen Yongmao sighed.

Lin Yanchao asked, "Why did Jingzhong sigh? Is there something unspeakable hidden? "

Shen Yongmao was unwilling to speak. Lin Yanchao understood his meaning and smiled and said, "Brother Shi, I advise you, there are so many women in the world, and there is no grass in the world. You should do your best to do your job at the moment, and you should not be disturbed by beauty."

After saying that, Lin Yanchao stepped forward and suddenly heard Shen Yongmao say behind him: "Brother Shi stays there, I am not sure about it. I have a heart to belong to you."

"Oh?" Lin Yanchao turned around and said, "There is already a lover in Jingzhong?"

Shen Yongmao nodded and said with a painful expression: "Yes, I am in love with him, but I can't stay together. I am now in my heart. I have been unable to think about food and food for the past few months, and I can't even study, and my studies have declined."

Lin Yanchao heard this and said, "Jingzhong, this is not possible. If you delay your studies, wouldn't it be disappointing your teacher's expectations for you?"

Shen Yongmao said depressedly: "I know I shouldn't bother you, but I can't calm down and read."

Lin Yanchao said: "It seems that he has really touched his true feelings, but like you, if a woman likes her, she will just say something to her."

When Shen Yongmao heard this, his expression changed and said loudly: "This is not allowed, this is not allowed."

Lin Yanchao remembered the expression of Shen Yongmao seeing the maid in the room just now, and suddenly realized.

Lin Yanchao tried to say, "*********, the principle of human ethics, what can't be done with this? Respect, you and I will fall into the same state at first sight. If you don't tell me the truth, I will not be able to help you."

After hearing this, Shen Yongmao hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, it's Zicui, the eldest maid of my mother."

Lin Yanchao deliberately said, "Jingzhong, this is a mother's maid. If you let your mentor know that you have this idea, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

In ancient times, it was a serious crime to have an inappropriate thought about his mother and maid. Jia Baoyu is a living example, and he was beaten to death by his father for this.

Shen Yongmao sighed, "I also know that this is a non-decision, but I don't know why love is so popular that I can't extricate myself. I have never seen women. When I was in Suzhou, I went to brothels with my classmates. I had a marriage with the brothel women. I also had a love affair with a maid who served in the room, but I never had any feelings for her. Only when I met this woman, I saw her in my dreams, and even if I saw other women again, it would be boring. It would be fine if I had no love, but Zicui also had feelings for me."

It turned out that the two had an affair. Lin Yanchao sighed after hearing this, "Jingzhong, I thought it was another woman, but this matter was your family matter and also your mentor's family matter. I dare not say too much!"

Shen Yongmao heard this and said anxiously: "Brother Shi, I know how to force others. You are very knowledgeable. Why don't you teach me a way to forget this relationship and end this grievance. I will thank you all in this life. Don't worry, I will never tell you what you say today."

Lin Yanchao hesitated for a while after hearing this, and then said, "Well, who told me to get the same thing with Jingzhong at first sight?"

Shen Yongmao said gratefully: "Brother Shi helped me this time, and I am willing to kowtow to you."

Lin Yanchao hurriedly said, "Respect, a man has gold under his knees, so he cannot perform this great gift. In my opinion, if you really like this woman, you will never forget it."

"What if that?"

"Don't worry, since this is the case, it's enough to be a hundred years old." Lin Yanchao said with a smile.

Shen Yongmao hurriedly said, "This is not OK, this is not OK, this is a disgrace to family tradition! Even if my mother allows me... I am too."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "No need to do this. There is a disagreement between you and Zi Cui, just find a way to get along. You can say that you can't concentrate on studying recently, and you need to move out and live there. You can ask your master's wife for a few caring and meticulous maids to serve your daily life. If Zi Cui is interested, she will recommend herself, and this is like the master's wife pointing Zi Cui to you."

When Shen Yongmao heard this, he looked like he was waking up from a dream and said repeatedly: "It's so simple, why didn't I think that Brother Shi really woke up the dreamer with one word!"

After saying that, Shen Yongmao cried and laughed for a while, and wanted to bow to him repeatedly. Lin Yanchao forced him to support him, but why didn't he just refuse?

Lin Yanchao said, "It's just a matter of raising hands. I also want to see my lover finally get married."

Shen Yongmao solved his worries and told Lin Yanchao some details along the way. The two of them talked about it and came to Yihu.

There is a small lake in the back garden, and there is a koi game in the lake. Shen Yongmao is in a very comfortable mood at this moment. He picked up the bait and threw it into the lake. Countless koi are fluttering in the water, competing for food and bait.

Seeing that there were so many koi in the small lake, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but sigh that rich families were really good at playing.

At this moment, Lin Yanchao saw a servant from Shen Mansion hurriedly walking through the bridge pavilion on the water pavilion, and came to the two of them and said, "Is this Mr. Lin, a compiler of the Hanlin Academy?"

Lin Yanchao said: "That's right."
