Chapter 98: The sheep are greedy and the wolf is greedy (1)
The news that the eldest wife of the second wife went home to visit her relatives spread throughout the Shen family that night. The news that the second wife had a single seedling died was also known by the various houses, which attracted many people to think about it. Whether it was to be flattering or "comfort" ", the women in each house wished they could rush to the clan room immediately to meet the sister-in-law.
However, when I received the news, I was around dinner and there was no reason to visit my guests at night, so I could only endure the restlessness in my heart.
There is only four rooms here. Whether it is Zhang Lao'an or Chen Juren, he has not heard of this yet. Even if Shen Rui knows it, he will not tell them about this.
At this moment, Shen Rui was in his room with a calm face, looking at the few boxes that were pried open, and laughed in anger.
I’m going to let go, but several of the She inkstones were given by the teacher. I was a thief back then, but now I have a Yuzi and robbed him blatantly?
Shen Rui said coldly: "I asked clearly, is it the person from Lao An or the person from the master?"
Dongxi said: "It was Tian's mother who brought a few people here, saying that the cat in Lao An's house could not be found, so she came to find the cat."
There are two mothers around Zhang Lao'an, one is named Hao and the other is Tian. In his early years, his mother is the most glorious, but now he looks like this mother Tian comes from behind.
Searching for cats finds the locked box?
"What are all missing? But count them all?" Shen Rui asked.
Dong Xi's face was not good-looking, but she didn't expect that Zhang Lao'an would be so mean: "The eldest lady cut four cloaks for her second brother, only the ones she wore; the middle clothes and there were fewer clothes. Two sets of old clothes that the second brother changed, and there was nothing left, and even the box was carried away. The other box was filled with seven inkstones, two knives of familiar pronunciation, and two boxes of new books were taken away. The box of silver and money was empty, and there were eighteen taels of silver and four guan in it."
Shen Rui felt disgusted. If you have new clothes, you can change money. The old clothes you changed are all plain clothes you wore when you are mourning, and they are not worth much money. Even if Zhang Lao'an doesn't open his eyes, he will not be like this. It was probably because of Na Tian’s own decision. She had a young grandson who was about the same age as Shen Rui. She was forcibly a book boy for Shen Rui and later became a servant in the study.
"Is that box containing valuable things hidden?" Shen Rui said.
Dongxi nodded and sighed: "I thought that it was all good things. If I really took it over because of my elder status, it would be fine if I asked it back in the future. If I couldn't get it back, wouldn't I be frustrated? Unexpectedly, I still had to take it back. It's really not in vain to be wary of it."
The most important box contains not only some gold and jade gifts that Shen Rui has saved in recent years, but also Zhuangbao, Dongxi and Liu Ya, Liu Cheng's classics, and Shenli's IOU.
Shen Rui breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't think it was all. He only thought that the two would come to his house to look around, but he just opened it. He was afraid that the old man and maid would take advantage of him. Who would have thought of Zhang Lao'an? People are so ignorant of their face.
"Let's go, carry the empty box and go to the master's study." Shen Rui snorted coldly and stood up.
Dongxi and Liu Ya also knew that this was not something tolerant, so they wanted to carry the empty box to follow.
Shen Rui glanced at Dongxi: "You should stay and let them follow me."
Dong Xi blushed, but she didn't follow: "Why don't the second brother be called Changshou, and Liu Cheng and the other two follow?"
Shen Rui thought about it and sent someone to call Changshou and Liu Cheng.
Knowing that he had "lost" something here, Changshou and Liu Cheng couldn't help but be indignant.
Although Changshou did not go out with Shen Rui today, he protected Dong Xi and Liu Ya and followed the people from the fifth house to the temple fair. When Shen Rui and others went to the teahouse, he was protecting several servants from the fifth house. When a maid went out, she never saw the eldest wife of the second wife. However, on the way back, she had heard Liu Cheng mention it.
Although Shen Rui had two backers, Shen Li and Guo were far away in the capital. Guo also had many places to avoid suspicion because he was in charge of Shen Rui's industry, so it was not good to have too much money and have to worry about the four houses. Otherwise, it would be like a divorce for money.
The eldest wife of the second wife is different. She has a high status and a deep connection, which is just right for her to speak for Shen Rui.
But I heard that she did not treat Shen Rui differently, so Changshou was a little unsure. No matter how sincere the second wife was to Shen Rui, she could take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble and let the outside look at it. The faces of mother and son in four families.
Shen Rui's idea coincides with Changshou's.
Although there is the old saying "Don't make family scandals public", the matter of the fourth room cannot be hidden, otherwise the only one who suffers losses will be himself. Shen Rui also wants to test what the second room eldest wife is about him.
Changshou and Liu Cheng carried the clothes box in a mess, and Liu Ya and Xiao Tao carried the empty empty box. Xiao Xing held an empty money box and followed Shen Rui to the study.
Juren Chen had already heard the news that Mrs. Tian had gone to Shen Rui's yard. Although he felt that Lao An was inappropriate, he didn't take it seriously.
In the eyes of Juren Shen, Shen Rui's half a month of life was loose, just like a boarding guest, letting him know the seniority and inferiority. If Shen Rui thought he could rely on Guo, he would not let his grandmother and father go. In my eyes, it's a big mistake. This father and son are family, who can say anything? If Guo wants to make a comeback, the fourth house is not afraid of it. He may just take over Shen Rui Industry and save it. Let Guo take advantage.
He just got Zhang Sijie, and when he couldn't leave it, he was confused all day long and even threw the matter of hiring to the He family. After he asked someone to take the lustful weapon from the outside house, he was distracted and hoped that it would be dark. Good at playing tricks.
This morning, because of being knocked out by Zhang Sijie, he had an orchid, but he also knew that if he wanted to have a crush on his relationship with Zhang Sijie, others could hide it. A few maids in the yard could not hide it. After dinner, they would take the spring moon and winter moon. He called and said in a frightened manner.
Dongyue is timid and only timid; Chunyue is smart and has already heard from the topic. She scolds her "a slutty woman with a bad face" in her heart. Her face is delicate and her eyes are watery and she is sank to the point of being sank. Sight under the crotch.
Chen Juren had a lustful heart, but was immediately irritated and did not send Dongyue out. He pulled Chunyue to his knees and rubbed her two hands in her arms. Chunyue giggled, and Dongyue was so sarcastic. Don't dare to look up.
Seeing these two beautiful maids, one is pretty, the other is cute, and the other is hot and lovely, Juren Chen felt that he had never lived in vain in his life. Thinking of this, he threw away his reluctant thoughts and thought about flowers. Just spend money on money. Transfer Zhang Sanjie and Zhang Sijie's household registration as soon as possible, so you can be less concerned about your behavior.
Thinking of Sister Zhang's lewd appearance last night, Chen Ju Ren couldn't help it and wanted to pull Sister Zhang from Lao'an's yard immediately. But hesitated not to be confused. He looked at the two maids and hesitated whether to relieve the fire first or raise the food. I was so excited that I attracted Sister Zhang tonight, and I was so busy that I was trying to make trouble for the little slut.
Thinking that Sister Zhang would rather be a widow for free than marry for life, Chen Ju felt a little pity, but the lustfulness disappeared a little. Without the interest of hanging with the maid, he pushed the spring moon away with regret.
Chunyue had the intention of competing for favor, and knew that another one had left, and the "strong enemy" came. She was anxious and didn't dress up. She stepped forward halfway with her chest open and said softly: "Master..."
Juren Chen felt that she was too unbearable, so he threw it away. As soon as Su Rong was about to scold him, he heard footsteps coming from outside.
The servant Tian Shenglai replied, "Master, the second brother is here."
When Chen Juren heard this, he frowned. Seeing Chunyue still standing in disheveled clothes, Tian Sheng glanced at Chunyue's chest again, and immediately became annoyed and cursed at Chunyue: "Don't you roll behind the screen to avoid it." Then, who is the one to seduce?"
Chunyue was scolded in person, and she could not stand it. Tears immediately came out, and she didn't dare to cry out loud. She immediately covered her face and went behind the screen.
Chen Juren glared at Tian Sheng again, his face was not kind, thinking that this kid could not stay. Although his hair had not grown yet, he had already developed a lust and asked him to work as a job in the study. He might say that his hat would turn green one day. Although the study was in front of him, he was in the study. The courtyard is the place where you live, and you have a maid who you can use, but you don’t have a three-foot-foot-child rule.
Tian Sheng shivered by staring, knowing that he had accidentally violated a taboo. Thinking that Shen Rui asked someone to carry the empty box, most of whom he complained, he said, "Master, my second brother is so loud, I have lifted a few empty boxes." Come here the box."
When Juren Chen heard this, he was indeed turned around and frowned, and raised the curtain and went out.
When he arrived in the yard, he saw Shen Rui standing there with his hands hanging down, followed by a male and female servant, with boxes and boxes. Chen Juren's face turned pale and said angrily: "What is this?"
Zhang Lao'an was unkind tormenting his grandson, but if his grandson was not obeying discipline, he would be unfilial. The servant behind Shen Rui could not be considered from the fourth room. Is this fuss that made the clan members laugh at the fourth room?
At this moment, Juren Chen didn't know whether to blame Zhang Lao'an for being troubled, or to blame Shen Rui for being unfilial.
Shen Rui seemed to have not seen the ugly face of Chen Juren, but instead said angrily: "Master, this family is really out of rules. If the servant can search the owner's house, there are such an arrogant and domineering servants. While his son is away, It was so horrible, horrible.”
Juren Chen didn't react for a moment, and Tian Sheng next to him almost urinated. He thought Shen Rui was here to sue Zhang Lao'an and begged Juren Chen to help him, but he didn't expect that Shen Ruiti would not mention Lao'an. He pointed the finger at the mama Tian who took people to overturn the house today.
Shen Rui continued: "If it were a thief, it would not be so annoying. But then Mrs. Tian was too rampant. Aunt Hong took away all the new winter clothes for her son, and the old clothes were not left behind. , Is this asking my son to go to school naked tomorrow? The four treasures of the six-sect brothers gave him, but they didn't see him. He put a monthly money box, and there was no copper left. If there were no servants who lost their conscience three years ago, he would not have been given this son and The Zhang family colluded with each other and would not cause any great losses to the family. The master was kind-hearted and did not pursue them. They became more and more beautiful. The lessons of the past are still there, and it is really hard to guard against the thief..."
Juren Chen thought that the money and other items that Zhang Lao'an had plundered were only available, so he deliberately ignored it, and wanted to see how Shen Rui would deal with it.
Just as Shen Rui could think of the relationship between recruiting Yin and dowry, he could naturally think of it. He didn't think that he wanted to prepare for recruiting Yin for the sake of the dowry, but felt that he could not lose face in front of the He family. If the He family wants to see, even if they cheated the two weaving factories, it would not be anything to the fourth house.
There is a lot of money on the books, but where does this hiring silver come from? It's gone.
There is not much money in the public account, and Chen Jin's property has some benefits. However, when he went to school, he said that his relatives needed money everywhere, and it was not easy to embezzle them all. The rest were Zhang Lao'an and Shen Rui.
Zhang Lao'an and Chen Juren are biological mother and son. In recent years, the weaker the mother-son relationship, the only thing left is silver. Even if the Zhang family came to fight for the autumn wind, Zhang Lao'an no longer let go. Besides, Zhang Lao'an saved in his early years Most of them are to supplement their parents' homes or buy property. The current bank was taken by Juren Chen three years ago and replenished three houses, and the nine houses owed the bank. In recent years, Juren Chen has not asked her to take over the family affairs, nor has she been Where to make money.
In this way, the only thing Chen Juren could count on was Shen Rui's side.
However, I can’t help but ask for money from my son, so I am willing to let Mr. Zhang be a "pioneer".
I really didn't expect that Zhang Lao'an was so confused that he did things so ugly. He went to explore Shen Rui's background and took out the money and caused Shen Rui's voice, and even made such a big noise.
Parents should not have personal wealth for their children. Even if Shen Rui received Sun's dowry, he was still a grandson in the fourth house. If he really had to worry about his elders for a few dollars, he would have to do anything wrong outside.
But Mrs. Tian acted too arrogantly, not only withdrew money, but also brought clothes.
There is still something to do behind this clothes. If it is transmitted to the outside, someone will inevitably ask why Shen Rui's clothes are prepared by the fifth room, and why the fourth room is not even prepared by Shen Rui.
It was indeed because of the lack of preparation at the beginning that Chen Juren didn't expect that, and then turned a blind eye and didn't ask anyone to make up for it, just to save some money. After all, the family's income has dropped significantly in recent years than before.
This matter is not easy to be told outside, otherwise the blame for "treatment to the legitimate son" will fall on him.
If you want to say the four treasures of the study, Lao An would be taken away by someone, Chen Juren believed it; if you want to say that Shen Rui's clothes were plundered by someone, Chen Juren didn't believe it, it must be the black-hearted woman who had aroused her. Greedy takes advantage of Lao An’s reputation.
