Chapter 101: The sheep are ruthless and the wolf is greedy (4)
Crispy fried crucian carp, red oil shredded shredded shredded shredded shredded pork elbow, scallion-flavored fungus, chicken shredded porridge, goose oil rolls, steamed rice cakes with rose fillings. At present, this breakfast food is luxurious and exquisite, even further than when Chen Jin was at home Win apart.
Shen Rui sat at the dining table and smiled.
Liu Ya was beside him, covering her mouth and laughing, "I have been exposed to my second brother's fortune, and I have got a box of soft cakes from the kitchen aunties, and even Xiaotao has got two handfuls of pine nut candy. This is the first time I have seen them in the past half month. So attentive.”
A villain fears power but does not have virtue. It seems that there is no need to worry about being angry with a villain in the future.
The previous account was Chen Juren's confidant, and was sold by Chen Juren because of "secret" Shen Rui's case. Now, this Tian woman is Zhang Lao'an accompanied the house. Because she went to Shen Rui's yard to "steal" him, she is now closed. It’s not that my family has to bear it.
No matter whether the bill and Mrs. Tian’s actions were "bold" or "obeying the orders", it didn’t matter. What was important was that after facing Shen Rui, both of them became abandoned sons.
Earlier, seeing Zhang Lao'an and Chen Juren's preferences, they were scared and grateful to Chen Jin and Shen Rui brothers. Fortunately, they did not go too far, which made Shen Rui angry. Otherwise, it would be them who are now tied up and sold.
It was just one night, and the fear of Shen Rui in the hearts of the four-room servants had surpassed Zhang Lao'an and Chen Jin, second only to the head of the family, Chen Juren.
Shen Rui smiled, but it didn't use much. Too much, too much, too little, I was already depressed in the morning, and I saw that I had meat. I smelled it smelled fragrant, but I got tired of it after a few bites.
Thinking about the place where Tian Pozi was, if he had bitten to death, he said he had never seen Zhuang Piao, he didn't know how Zhang Lao'an would deal with it next.
Before leaving the door, Shen Rui quietly instructed Dong Xi: "Don't show joy, always look sad, and add a few more pieces in the account."
When Dong Xi heard this, he also whispered: "I added a sum in the account book yesterday." After that, he took out a veil and came out: "I left in front of my second brother, and the maid cried again. ”
In name, she was a maid given to Shen Rui by Guo, and she also took care of Shen Rui's money account. Although she went out yesterday and lost the bank ticket, the responsibility was not on her, but if you say that you are not careful in keeping it, you can get it a little bit. .
When Mrs. Tian refused to admit his conspiracy, Mr. Zhang must be suspicious and had to come here to inquire. Since he did it before, he would always be perfect in the future, otherwise the matter would be leaked and would become a joke.
The master and servant smiled tacitly, but they both thought of one thing.
When Shen Rui left the yard, Changshou and Liu Cheng were already waiting.
Changshou also said the news he found out last night: "Lao An is really annoyed. Tian Pozi's house found a lot of things, including gem bonsai in Lao An's house, and a pair of tangled lotus gourds in the master's study to look at the bottle. .The family is really not clean.”
It’s better to have bad deeds before, and it becomes more and more unclear about the argument.
Thinking that Mrs. Tian had a second son outside the city, Shen Rui said, "I asked two servants who were friends with Mrs. Tian to talk to him, and said that Mrs. Tian repeatedly stole the property of the master's family, and the master wanted to send their family to the official. Because Tian Pozi served Lao An for many years, Lao An was unwilling to send an official position and wanted to find someone to sell their whole family to Jiangbei Salt Field."
If you send an official, you will not be able to escape; if you sell a salt field, you will have no life. If Tian Er wants to live, his only choice is to escape.
The carriage was already waiting outside, and the servant in the gatehouse was particularly attentive. He walked forward with a bench, arranged next to the carriage, and bowed to ask Shen Rui to get on the carriage.
Shen Rui glanced at it and signaled for a longevity reward.
Changshou touched a few dollars to give the servant, who bowed as if he had held gold ingots and said, "Thank you for your reward, second brother."
Shen Rui snorted lightly and looked at Changshou and said, "I heard from Brother Quan San that I bought a new book yesterday. I have already borrowed it. You can come and get the house later."
Changshou bowed and responded, Shen Ruifang got on the stool and got on the carriage, and went to the clan to learn.
Seeing that the carriage had gone far away, Changshou Fang smiled and said to the servant: "You are just a pleasing person. You just need to hold a stool and you will get five dollars. In this month, will it be more than one hundred dollars?"
Although the servant was respectful, he felt a little dissatisfied. He felt that the reward was given less. After hearing Changshou's words, he realized that holding a stool for the second brother could do a long-term job. If he had to have a few more days, he would have to do a few more days.
The reward is more than 100 yuan per month, which is more than half a month.
He was really happy immediately, but when he thought of the situation of Tian Pozi's family, he couldn't help but tremble. He hurriedly came to Changshou and asked in a low voice: "Brother Changshou, I'm stupid. I'm afraid I'm not serving my second brother in full. Please give me some advice from Brother Changshou.
, What should I avoid when serving my second brother?”
Changshou whispered: "The second brother is the aunt's child. He is the soft-hearted person and is the most lenient person. You don't have to worry. In order to cross the courtyard, the master and Lao An are very moved by Yu Ge, who will be a ruthless prince.
, but it was not the second brother's original intention, and the second brother was just so worried."
Although the Tian Pozi family is not a servant from the Shen family, they have been married to the fourth family for many years, and their children are married in the fourth family. The relationship between the servants is also in contact with each other. Even this servant has some connections with the Tian family. I heard that
This is a question that requires us to ask: "How will the master and Lao An attack the Tian family?"
Changshou showed sympathy on his face, and looked around. Seeing that there was no one else, he touched the servant's ear and explained the two methods of dealing with the officials and the salt selling farm.
The servant was so scared that he turned pale: "Really?"
Changshou snorted and said, "Who can't lie? But this is what I said and you hear. If someone else is there, I won't recognize it..."
Seeing that the servant was still stunned, Changshou raised his lips and said, "I'll do the errand first." After that, he took a few steps and went to the fifth room to report the news in a noble manner.
In the clan school, Shen Rui smiled at the boy sitting beside Shen Jue and laughed. The two of them were like cross-eyed yesterday, and they made up in one night? They really have a childish temper.
"The ancestors of the Shen family followed Emperor Gaozong to the south and established themselves in Songjiang. The fragrance of books was passed down from family members. Their children were busy with officials. The Songjiang Prefecture Chronicle can also find relevant records... But later, the Mongols went south and the Shen family also suffered a great disaster...
It was not until the ancestors of Zhongxing entered the court that the family gradually regained their vitality and passed on to the generation of brothers. It was already the sixth generation." Shen Jue did not see Shen Rui coming in, and was proud to tell the history of the Shen family.
He Taizhi listened with relish. The He family was also a family of officials, but the family made only two or three generations. His grandfather came from a poor family and entered the Hanlin Academy after passing the Jinshi. Until he retired, he stopped studying for a bachelor's degree. His father was also a Jinshi.
If I hadn't married a good wife, I would have been a small official in the Hanlin Academy. However, because I married nine daughters of the Xu family, I had a few more capable brother-in-law as my arm help, and I went further and further in the officialdom. Now I am in my forties, I am already in my fourth grade.
, the future is promising.
He Taizhi was originally from the capital, but he only felt that others were rural locals. But when it comes to the family origin, he really lacked confidence.
The Erchen scholar is known for his calligraphy. Although he has passed away for sixty or seventy years, Shi Lin mentioned it, but everyone knows it.
Emperor Taizong could praise Dachen's Secretariat as "Wang Xizhi of our dynasty". Now the "Guange style" used in the Hanlin Academy is based on the style of Ershen.
He was the second wife and third grandson. He moved to the capital as a teenager and gained a foothold because he was the great-grandson of the Great Chen Scholar, and he gained his ancestor Yu Ze.
Others are not satisfied, but seeing Chen Jue fooling others, they still do their own things. Chen Qin couldn't help but come forward and talk, "Brother Jue is talking about his ancestors again. What's there to say about sesame and millet that has been for hundreds of years? Let's let me go The ancestors are quiet and quiet.”
"This is the word "Shen" shines. As a descendant of the Shen family, he is honored." Chen Jue stood up and said proudly: "We should also work diligently to attack books, and do not lose the reputation of the ancestors. With the brothers of the six clans in front of us, we should not slackewer.”
The more respect He Tai's face was, the more he had already restrained the original Xu Aoyi Yu Jingjing. In addition to having a talented ancestor, the Shen family also had the top scholars of the crown prince, and he was even more unable to show off.
Chen Jue is the one who likes to play the most, and now he is the one who "diligently attacks books" at once. Everyone in the school looked at each other and was amused and crying. However, with outsiders, no one exposes Chen Jue.
As Chen Jue spoke, he saw Shen Rui's eyes lit up, and he stood up and walked over: "Rui...Second Brother Rui is here..."
Shen Rui smiled and looked at He Taiyi's eyes and said to Shen Rui: "Did you say hello to Mr. Dong?"
After all, the school is a place to teach knowledge. If you bring outsiders to play at will, it would be a mess. Therefore, there is a ban and students are not allowed to bring people into school at will.
Chen Jue hesitated for a moment: "Brother Rui still doesn't know? Yesterday, Mr. Dong had officially quit his clan school errands. From today on, uncles of the clan school will be temporarily appointed. After the clan's official discussion at the end of the month, he will then decide the mountain leader. .”
Shen Rui knew it in his heart after hearing this.
The Shen family’s books are passed down from family, and many children take the exam. Only by having the scholar in the "Qiushi" class, the person who is in charge of tribal academic affairs must be at least a juren.
Shenliu is a Juren, but he never gave up after the exam. In addition, he is less than 40 years old and is not old to take two subjects. Naturally, he will not put his thoughts on the clan school. This is the successor of Dong Juren. The last candidate has to be found.
Seeing that Shen Rui was not in his own affairs, Chen Jue rolled his eyes and said, "Don't be at ease. If there is something happening before, I'm afraid that the clan elders will not agree to invite outsiders anymore. Most of them will look for the clan masters. The most likely candidate is not someone else, but Uncle Yuan. It depends on what you do then.”
There are not many Juren masters in the Shen clan with the Shui generation, including the eldest master of the Zongfang, the second master, the fourth house Chenyuan, the fifth house Chenhong, and the eighth house Chenliu, all of them have fame and fame.
Chen Liu wanted to continue the imperial examination. Even if the master of Zongfang did not have the name of the clan leader, he still had the reality of the clan leader. He fully accepted the family affairs and could not come specifically to manage the clan. Chen Hong was in poor health, and the family affairs of the five-bedroom family were They all entrusted them to their wives. Even if they were slightly better in recent years, they probably wouldn't come out to take on errands. The last candidate is the second master of Zongfang and Chen Yuan.
No matter how knowledgeable the second master of Zongfang is, he is based on his own lineage, and the other families are afraid that he will not be happy to take over the clan school.
In this way, the most likely candidate is the only four rooms Chen Yuan left.
When Shen Rui heard this, he was speechless. Since he was able to pass the imperial examination, then Shen Juren must be very good at learning. But can he choose a teacher for the clan and his character?
Although Chen Juren is not as infamous as Zhang Lao'an, his reputation is not much better.
In the early years, "poet the concubine and destroy the legitimate legitimate" and the current "indulgence in love" cannot be hidden. Only Chen Juren also naively believes that his virtue is comparable to a gentleman, and even if he is slightly attracted to women, he is still his maid, so he will not be able to do so. What.
If he was young, he would not say anything with just a word "a young man's romantic"; if he had no children, he could still be favored by the banner of "no filial piety, no descendant is the greatest". But he was at the age of looking around and looking around, two My son grew up again, and his previous attitude was too serious. How can this contrast not attract people's attention?
"The clan leader, you shouldn't nod, right?" Shen Rui asked with a blink of an eye.
Shen Rui curled his lips and said, "Apart from Uncle Hong, only my second uncle is left. What do you think the old master of the third room will be? Let's see how the grandfather of the eighth room talks, I'm afraid it's hard to say anything."
Shen Rui thought about the clan leader, who was really a sensible person. Although in order to avoid suspicion, he would not belittle the juren, but he would not really let the juren take charge of the clan school. He could not say that his last job would fall into the sun. If Chen Hong cannot bear the complicated things, he will only teach the students and arrange for him to be an assistant.
Thinking of this, Shen Rui felt at ease.
At home, Zhang Lao'an has been "restoring illness". Chen Juren did not ask Shen Ruiding Province. The father and son met in three or five days. Chen Yuan really wanted to go to the clan school, but he was facing each other every day. Chen Juren looked like he was a match when he saw him. Training丨Although the behavior of a turtle grandson is the norm of "father and son" in the world, Shen Rui really can't accept it.
Seeing the empty seat next to Shen Rui, Chen Jue remembered that he had not arranged a seat for He Taizhi and whispered to Shen Rui: "Let you sit with you for half a day, don't you lose the power of the Shen family's children. That little brat At the age of nine, I passed the county examination. No wonder I was so proud that I was walking with my tail sticking out.”
When he passed the county examination at the age of nine, Shen Rui widened his eyes.
After all, there are no provincial examinations, and there are traces of various records. The county examinations are available every year, and thousands of children are admitted every year. There are many young people, and no one can tell whether the youngest candidates are.
Shen Rui only remembers that Zhang Juzheng was a scholar at the age of twelve, and Yang Ting and the village were awarded at the age of twelve. They should have participated in the county examination earlier.
It can be seen that there are many young candidates in the county examination, and taking the exam is not the same as passing the exam. The admission model of county examinations in various places is the same. They are based on the local population and tax ratio, and several places in remote counties are There are more than ten middle-class counties and more than ten to twenty rich and densely populated areas.
The richer the place, the more people are, the more candidates are enrolled, the lower the admission rate.
He Taizhi is from Zhili, the admission ratio is low, second only to Zhili and Shandong, and he can pass the county town and can be called a "child prodigy".
No wonder Chen Jue moved out his ancestors just now, and he was obviously very excited.
Regardless of whether Xu Youzhen, the chief minister of Yingzong who once had his martial arts, was loyal or treacherous, his family education should be good, otherwise the grandson would not have become so many talents.
However, there are three talented men and grandsons who left their names in history. He Taizhi is not among them. They either haven’t grown up or they lose everyone when they grow up...
