He never thought that one day, the words "love at first sight" would give him such a headache.
Shen You looked gloomy, looked at Shen Jia, and reiterated: "I didn't steal your sweetheart."
Shen Jia sighed dejectedly: "Okay, stop talking. I have figured it out. I am not worthy of Shaojun's cousin. Fortunately, I did not show my feelings to her rashly, otherwise, wouldn't it be gentle and considerate? Is my cousin in trouble?"
"Forget it! If Shaojun's cousin marries you, she will be my sister-in-law. It's better to put this flower on your pile of cow dung than to marry an outsider."
Shen You: "..."
Shen You's brows twitched and he had to change his usual habit of being reticent: "I won't marry her."
What?
Shen Jia was angry and reached out to grab Shen You's lapel: "What did you say? Shaojun's cousin falling in love with you is a blessing you earned in your previous life. Why don't you want to marry such a good girl?"
"Or do you already have another crush on a girl?"
If it had been anyone else who dared to grab his clothes like this, he would have beaten him so hard that he would never see the sun the next day.
In front of him was his cousin who he had grown up with since childhood. Shen You endured it silently and said in an indifferent voice: "No. I have no plans to get married."
In this life, he will not marry anyone.
Shen Jia couldn't believe it and said angrily: "In short, you have to treat Shaojun's cousin well. If you dare to bully her, I will be the first to spare you!"
As he said this, he felt sad for himself again: "My cousin Shaojun doesn't like me. I've already suffered enough. I have to worry about you two. My life is really miserable."
Shen Jia was emotionally unstable at this time, and nothing he said was in vain.
A road away can tell a horse's power, and time can tell a person's heart. In the future, Shen Jia will know that what he said is true.
Shen You didn't argue with him, and stretched out his hand to knock Shen Jia's right arm. Shen Jia felt the pain and naturally let go.
Shen You's breathing became smooth again.
Shen Jia rubbed her arms and opened her mouth to complain: "I am your cousin, and you are treating me like this!"
If it weren't for your cousin, you wouldn't want your arm today, you know?!
Shen You expressed his feelings with his eyes.
Shen Jia then remembered the "great achievements" of his fourth brother in the past.
If nothing else, let's just say that half a year ago, two brothers were traveling on horseback and encountered rough roads. He was so warm-hearted, so he naturally wanted to "draw his sword to help." But he was unable to save people due to his lack of skills and was almost beaten.
Without saying a word, Shen You drew his sword and took action, directly destroying the legs of those villains.
The scene of blood flowing everywhere gave him nightmares for several days.
Shen Jia touched her nose awkwardly and opened her mouth to apologize: "I was in a hurry just now and reached out to grab your shirt. I didn't mean to. Don't be upset."
Shen You responded briefly: "It's not annoying."
The two brothers had nothing to say for the moment.
This matter is neither big nor small, but it is a bit uncomfortable.
Shen Jia was so heartless that he couldn't let go for a while. He coughed and said: "It's so late, so go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow to go to the Jinyiwei barracks."
I had registered for the Jinyi Competition half a month ago.
Those who are eligible to participate in the Jinyi Competition are all the sons and daughters of the hereditary Jinyiwei. Basically, anyone who is not a very skilled person can pass the competition. However, the performance and ranking in the competition are extremely important.
In the annual Jinyi Competition, most of those who performed well were gathered around by several princes or entered the palace as Jinyi Guards.
Just like Shen Rong back then, he won the first prize in the Imperial Clothes Competition and caught the eye of Emperor Long'an. He was appointed by the emperor to lead the troops of King Yan, and he became a fourth-grade military general, which was a great success.
This Jinyi Competition is related to the future. Shen Jia is also very nervous and concerned.
Everyone must enter the Jinyiwei barracks one day in advance, search their entire bodies, and are not allowed to take any sharp weapons with them.
There are three Jinyi Competitions, one each day. The first day is about horseback riding and archery, and the second day is about boxing and kicking. The top ten will be ranked based on the results of these two days. On the third day, everyone will compete with their own skills. Weapons challenge the top ten, whoever wins can take his place.
The one who can persevere to the end, or who can keep his ranking after a successful challenge, is the final winner.
When mentioning the Jinyi Competition, Shen You's expression softened: "Okay, I'll get up at five o'clock tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned around and jumped up, flying like a butterfly again, and returned to his Zhichuntang.
Shen Jia stood there without moving, looking dully at the bare wall. After a long time, he wiped his red eyes hard, turned around and returned to the house.
There is no need to describe in detail how Shen Jia was tossing and turning this night.
…
Shen You actually didn't sleep well either.
He has been withdrawn and cold since he was a child, and is not liked by his elders. His mother, Mrs. Jiang, is alienated and indifferent to him. His second uncle treats him very well, but he is busy with errands every day and does not spend much time in the mansion.
The second aunt, Mrs. Feng, was kind and kind, and she was very good to his nephew. She took good care of everything including food, clothing, housing, and transportation. He had everything Shen Jia had.
However, after all, it is different from his own son.
For example, the second aunt would punish the first cousin and the second cousin, and would scold Shen Jia when he got into trouble. She would never scold his nephew.
It’s not that he is a weakling and wants to be scolded. It’s that he clearly knows that this is the subtle difference between closeness and distance.
He was grateful to his second aunt, but he had such a gloomy and taciturn temperament that he would not say anything sweet to make her happy. He was far inferior to Shen Jia.
Shen Jia...
Thinking of his third cousin, Shen You sighed deeply in his heart and felt another layer of resentment towards the Shaojun's cousin.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that Shen You reluctantly fell asleep.
Then, he had another strange dream.
In the dream, he was still wearing the Feiyu suit, with an embroidered spring knife on his waist, riding a red sweat-blooded horse, and entered a mansion. On this mansion, there was a black plaque with the words "Shen Mansion" on it.
The mansion's carved beams and painted buildings are extremely luxurious.
He dismounted his horse and entered the mansion, followed by many guards in royal robes.
Along the way, all I saw were guards with long swords on their waists, but not a single maid or woman. Until I entered the main courtyard, I suddenly saw a beautiful and charming woman and bowed down: "I've seen the commander, sir, from my Qiaoqiao family."
He glanced over coldly: "Who are you?"
The woman named Qiaoqiao seemed to have two hooks in her beautiful eyes, and her voice was charming and coquettish: "Commander Shen, I am the servant of Wanhua Tower."
"Commander Shen doesn't have anyone around him who knows how to serve you. Eunuch Feng spent a lot of money to buy the slave family, so that the slave family will be able to serve you well."
It’s Eunuch Feng again!
In just one year, this is already the third beauty sent by Eunuch Feng.
This Eunuch Feng is really "considerate".
He said coldly: "Get out!"
The beauty was about to cry. She covered her face with her sleeves and came closer: "If you are not willing to take over the slave family, the slave family will have no chance of survival in the hands of Eunuch Feng. Please have mercy on the slave family..."
Before he finished speaking, he was thrown out of the house.
