After Shen Rui told Chen Quan about the news he had heard from Guo, although Chen Quan was forced to calm down, he still had some hope in his eyebrows. However, no matter how old he is, he is only when he gets married, but he is not a child in the eyes of others.

Shen Rui said: "Suhang has a beautiful woman, and the third brother is very lucky. If the marriage is done, the third brother will thank Brother Ying for thanking you."

Although the five-bedroom family is a wealthy family in Songjiang, it is nothing in the capital where powerful people gather.

Chen Quan is not even a scholar at present. When it comes to family background, he is just a son of a juren. Such a marriage will be of great benefit to Chen Quan in the future. Even if he is just a Shuji Shi, Shuji Shi is also called "Chu". ", I can't make any mistakes in my future in the future. When Chen Quan goes through the exam layer by layer and gets ahead of the exam, he can still borrow the best of his brother-in-law.

And Chen Yingduo's in-laws can help each other in the future.

Compared to finding a lady with a good family in Songjiang, this marriage is much better.

If it weren't for the elder brother Chen Ying, even if the other party wanted to find a relative close to Suzhou Prefecture, he would not have chosen the Shen family.

Chen Quan gave Shen Rui a blank look: "Brother Rui is really, my elder brother is my elder brother, if you say thank you, it's not a heretic

When talking about "brother", Shen Rui inexplicably thought of Chen Jin.

Who would have thought that Chen Jin had been preparing for these years and actually missed this year's provincial examination? It can only be said that Chen Jin's luck is really bad. If Sun had not passed away, he would have participated in the provincial examination three years ago. A fifteen-year-old juren has a bright future. .Now I have not only missed the subject at the age of fifteen, but also missed the subject at the age of eighteen. Three years later, I can't say that everyone will be destroyed.

Chen Quan also thought of Chen Jin because of his marriage: "Brother Jin is with me, and now the provincial examination has not ended. Should I say he is kissing..."

He was just saying this, and Shen Rui didn't know much about the follow-up news about the Shen family in Songjiang, only silent.

It was a rare day off, and Shen Rui had other arrangements, so he didn't stay at Shen Ying's house for too long. He went home after lunch.

Wang Shouren is now a little decadent after being hit. He tempted him to be filial and might be willing to retire temporarily; but Wang Hua also needs to be open to the point of being open, otherwise Wang Hua will become hard and will not allow his son to retreat temporarily?

Wang Hua's personality has passed by a very noble character.

In fact, he was the exam when Xie Qian was appointed as the examiner. Both of them were from Yuyao and had a half-teacher relationship. So what if they stood happily at the "Xie Party"?

Xie Qian is a destined "virtuous prime minister" in history and has no bad reputation.

Even if Wang Hua doesn't stand in the side, Mr. Liu and Mr. Li will still regard him as close to the "Xie Party". However, Mr. Xie cannot win over him no matter how hard he wins over him, and he will be dissatisfied with him. The result is that he is isolated and helpless, and his body is like duckweed.

When he returned to Shen House, Shen Rui went to the main courtyard to meet Xu.

Xu glanced at his dress and said, "Your third uncle has come to the guest. I just sent someone to ask you to accompany the guest. Don't change your clothes first, go see the guest first..."

Although the third master did not serve in the official position, he was rarely talented and made some like-minded friends among the scholars.

Shen Rui responded and headed to the east house.

The third master was waiting in the front hall. When he saw Shen Rui coming, he was very happy and hurriedly called him forward.

There were two people sitting in the guest seat, one of whom was about the same age as the third master, and the other was young, and the two were somewhat similar in appearance.

"Yu Ji, Yizhong, this is my second nephew, Brother Rui..." The third master introduced Shen Rui to the two of them first, and then said to Shen Rui: "Brother Rui, this is my uncle's friend. He is at home, you call me." Uncle Xie San, that's..." After saying that, he pointed to the young man and said, "This is your uncle Xie San's nephew, Jie Yuan from Shuntian Mansion this year

According to the instructions of the third master, Shen Rui called "Uncle Xie San" and "Brother Shi" and bowed to greet the two of them. He remained silent on his face, but was surprised in his heart.

This year, Jie Yuan in Shuntian Prefecture is not an ordinary juren, but Xie Pi, a student of the Imperial College. As soon as the Dragon and Tiger List came out, it was a lot of controversy. In addition to understanding the young of Yuan, the most important thing is that Jie Yuan in the current sciences is not someone else, but Xie Pi, the nephew of Xie Qian, the three elders.

The Xie family in Yuyao is a local surname, divided into 18 house heads, and in terms of inheritance, it is traced back to Xie'an of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Compared with the Xie family in Songjiang, Shen family in Yuyao, it is really a witch.

The nephew Xie Ge Lao, named nephew, is actually his own son. Because his younger brother Xie Xuan died early and had no son, after Xie Ge Lao obtained this second son, he adopted him to the deceased on his parents' order. Brother Xie Xuan's name.

Since the uncle and nephew are the sons of Mr. Xie, then the "Uncle Xie San" is not someone else, but Mr. Xie's younger brother Xie Di.

Although Shen Rui had never met him, he had heard of his name. Xie Di, Chen Ying, and Wang Shouren were both second-class Jinshis in the 12th year of Hongzhi. Although Wang Shouren had no contact with him, they were fellow villagers, and Wang Shouren was with him. The name of Shedi was mentioned in his friends' interactions.

Xie Di came here today to congratulate the third master for having a son.

After he passed the Jinshi, he joined the Ministry of War as the head of the Ministry of War. He had gone to the Northwest Gongyu before and only returned to Beijing recently.

As for Xie Pi, it was because in addition to Xie Di and the Third Master, Xie Pi also had a relationship with the Third Master. Before he entered the Imperial College, he studied at Nancheng Academy and became a disciple of Mr. Tian. He was the Third Master. Junior brother.

However, since the third master and Xie Di are in front of each other, Xie Pi is not good at making friends with the third master and can only be a nephew.

When Xie's uncle and nephew left, Shen Rui learned from the third master the relationship between the two and the Shen family and couldn't help but be speechless.

He was still worried about Wang Hua just now. Now it seems that the situation of the Shen family may not be better than that of Wang Hua.

The eldest master and Xie Qian were in the same year, the third master and Xie Di were close friends, and the Shen family nephew Chen Li was Xie Qian's son-in-law. No matter how you look at this, they are all "Xie Party".

The Wang family and the Xie family have no contact, but the Shen family and the Xie family can't help but have contact. How can we clearly argue about this when we fall into the eyes of others?

The third master did not join the officialdom and was never careful about the affairs of the imperial court. After talking about the relationship between Xie Di and his nephew, he did not forget to say to Shen Rui: "Today, you have met Xie Pi, and you will have more contacts in the future... His academic studies have always been good, and he was always with Brother Luo before..."

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "In the future, Brother Rui is older and will still be admitted to the Imperial College... There are also many talents in the Imperial College..."

Shen Rui thought of Xu Wu who had seen at Tongzhou Wharf and said, "Uncle San, did the student of the Imperial College have a requirement to be twenty years old? Then he also arranged for cousin Yang to be in prison? And Xu Qiong, the Minister of Rites, also kept one. My son is not much older than cousin Yang in Beijing. I heard that he has to be imprisoned."

The third master said: "The Imperial College died in his early years, and there were many people at that time... Now, the Imperial College is ranked above the third rank official. The official students are all noble children. If they are not obeying their parents' control, they are sent to the Imperial College. He was in prison... but he was not stuck at the age of twenty. After he was fifteen, he asked for an order to send him there. However, it was considered a kind order to be enrolled in prison, which is not a common practice..."

The third wife is still in confinement, but the third master is thinking about his son. He has just brought his friend and nephew to show off. Now that he has seen Shen Rui, he does not forget to say, "Does Brother Rui want to meet the fourth brother? Brother is fat again”

Shen Rui smiled and said, "I went out early and came back late a few days ago, but I haven't come here for a few days. I'm just trying to see my fourth brother...

The third master gestured: "It's already so big. I measured it with a soft ruler yesterday. It's already one foot or eight inches. I will definitely be able to grow up like Brother Rui in the future..."

Shen Rui listened with a smile and inexplicably remembered Chen Jue's murmuring that night.

I always feel that the sentence doesn't seem to be something that Chen Jue can say.

Thinking of this, Shen Rui really missed Chen Jue a little.

Chunshan Academy has tight homework. After a whole day of class every day, there is homework. I really have no time to spare sooner or later, which makes Shen Rui unwilling to take care of him.

Now I think about what Chen Jue said, the meaning is too subtle. I asked Shen Rui to stay away from the Fourth Brother, why did he get farther away?

Is it because the third room has any precautions that fall into his eyes? Or is there any gossip in the second room for him to hear?

Now, except for the rough maids in the yard, the rest of the second room followed the second master to the south.

Shen Rui was careful about the third master, but with the third master's personality, he really had to be careful of his nephew getting close to his son, and would not take the initiative to take the initiative to take Shen Rui to see his fourth brother?

When Shen Rui and the third master went there, the wet nurse had just finished feeding the fourth brother and just put the cradle on the kang. The fourth brother was awake.

The third master was overjoyed when he saw this, touched his fourth brother's little hand and said, "Fourth brother, Dad, your second brother has come to see you...

The baby who was less than a month old had looked over when he heard the sound. The fourth brother was not yet a month old, but he looked a little bigger and had flesh on his face, not as weak as he had just landed on his ground.

The third master smiled happily: "Brother Rui, come and see, the fourth brother is smiling at me..."

Shen Rui stood behind the third master, looking at the baby in the swaddling clothes, and could not tell that he was smiling. The delicate and tender baby had a shiny corner of his mouth, and he was drooling.

The third master sighed: "With the Fourth Brother, my aunt and I will be content in this life... Brother Rui is not here just now, you didn't see it, Xie Sanlang's eyes are rare when he sees the Fourth Brother... He is only more than me He is one year younger, and he is thirty-five this year. He has a few wives and concubines, and only one girl is under his knees..."

Shen Rui looked at the little fourth brother, hoping that he could raise him safely.

There was no hope before, and the third master and his wife could live a life. Now that they have a bond, no matter what, no matter what, the couple can stand it.

However, looking at the third master's appearance as a kind father, I don't know if I still remember the matter of running a college before, I am afraid I won't care about that for a while.

After coming out of the main room, the third master did not let Shen Rui go, but took him directly to the study and said, "Can Brother Rui's set of boxing really keep healthy?"

Shen Rui nodded and said, "My nephew thinks it can keep healthy, strengthen the body, and be free from external evil..."

The third master said: "I will practice boxing with Brother Rui tomorrow morning..."

"Didn't Uncle San look down on this before? Why did he change his mind?" Shen Rui said curiously.

The third master said, "I just mentioned Xie Sanlang. I plan to pick up the books again and take the exam... Fortunately, I will teach you a few kids in the past six months, but I picked up the Four Books and Five Classics that I left behind... I was afraid that my body would not be able to bear it, so I should have participated in the next year's subject. But now that my fourth brother is young, I would rather have a degree later than take risks..."

Shen Rui was moved when he heard this.

There was a saying in later generations that "those who have no constant property have no perseverance." The third master in front of him obviously said "those who have a son have perseverance."

If it were just a couple who lived a life, both of them were peaceful and had a bad attitude and were not good at fame and fortune, they would naturally live no matter how they lived.
