Sitting in the carriage, Shen Qiao closed her eyes, the sound of wheels and the sound of "whimpering" wind.
The sky was already dark outside, and the north wind blew, which made the Juren feel as gloomy as this cold winter day.
Although he agreed without hesitation about Xu's mention of bringing Shen Rui to Beijing in front of several clan elders, he still regretted it until now.
What's the guilty thing about Xu?
The couple has been with him for more than 20 years, and he has no place to let him down. Even if he did not save Sun's dowry later, it was not because of him. The fourth house lost money because of this and the loss was quite large.
Other young men who came to Beijing from the front of the house are the second sons or the youngest sons of each house, and they are obviously candidates for the heirs of the second house. Shen Rui is now in his name, but who doesn't know that he is the only true son of the fourth house.
What if Xu just took an excuse to bring Shen Rui into Beijing and then left him in the capital?
Juren Chen felt that Xu had "unpredictable intentions" and wanted to abduct his son; at the same time, he felt that he was thinking too much, and with Chen Jue in front, the second wife would not like Shen Rui.
Chen Juren was deeply entangled.
Although what Lao An said occasionally flashed in his heart, he still had no idea of adopting his only legitimate son. In that case, outsiders would not know how to poke his backbone, and he would be sure that he would confirm that he would "popular concubines and destroy the legitimate son." ” reputation.
Shen Rui sat aside, where he would go to the juren to worry about the entanglement in his heart. He has always been a person who loves to prepare for the future. Now that the matter of going to Beijing has disrupted his previous plans, he should think clearly next.
Dongxi, Liu Ya, Changshou, Liu Cheng, and the other four people. Changshou and Liu Cheng had to follow him, but Dongxi and Liu Ya were not convenient to follow him. When he was out, he would have to take the servant, the boy, and the maid. Following, it looks too different.
In the eyes of Zhang Lao'an and Chen Juren, the two maids' body contracts were not in the fourth room, but they were easy to settle, so they could just entrust them to Guo.
There is nothing valuable in the cross-yard building. The soft Dongxi has already been put away and can be taken out directly at that time. Leave the empty yard and just call Xiaotao and Xiaoxing to watch. Calculate carefully, he has only been back for half a month, except for the clothes and bookcases. I haven't bought anything.
There is no need to put too much luggage when going out, the key is to bring enough money. Three years ago, with Wang Shouren traveling far away, Shen Rui also had some experience. It is enough to bring a few hundred cigarettes of money to respond to emergency response, and more scattered silver is needed, mainly I brought gold. When I arrived in Suzhou or Beijing, it would be convenient to exchange it into silver in a silver store for a expense.
The father and son thought about their own thoughts until they got off the carriage, no one spoke.
Until he entered the gate, Juren Chen stopped and frowned and said, "Tomorrow, let the butler go to help you with the road guide, and you also instruct the servants to pack up their luggage. All the things must be prepared, don't wait to bother with such trivial matters after going out. elder"
Shen Rui lowered his hands and answered.
Juren Chen felt upset when he saw Shen Rui's respectful appearance. He seemed to have a vague impression. His son was happy to get close to him when he was a child. Every time he went to Lao'anren's yard, he would come to him. He only felt that he was naughty and afraid of him. He was spoiled by Lao An and would scold him every time he saw him. Before he knew it, Shen Rui was only respectful in front of him, no longer intimate when he was young.
When Sun passed away, due to the slap, the father and son became increasingly alienated, and even he felt that his son had changed.
He was struggling all the way, just to be afraid that Xu's family would affect his reputation if he wanted Shen Rui to be his heir?
After being a father and son for more than ten years, people's hearts are made of flesh.
Because Sun's infertility for more than ten years, he was already desperate for his legitimate son and daughter; but when he was facing Chen Jin, he was not unhappy. It was inappropriate for the legitimate son to inherit the family.
When Sun was pregnant, he was worried about gains and losses, and secretly prayed to have a legitimate son. When Shen Rui "caught" and landed, he was still so happy that he got a legitimate son.
The first son has become more and more determined, and the second son is getting older and he is only respectful and not close to him.
Juren Chen sighed and his waist, which was originally straight, bent down instantly.
"The eldest wife of the second wife brought your brothers to Beijing, and it is often involved in the selection of heirs... What do you think about the second brother?" Chen Juren hesitated for a moment and asked.
Shen Rui glanced at Chen Juren and shook his head.
He couldn't wait to leave the fourth room, but he didn't want to be the second room heir.
Is it so easy for his heirs to do? Filial piety, kindness, and rules, if you don’t have a slightest, you will be completely disgusted.
Now the second house is powerful, and no one in the clan can stand out. He is in the fourth house. As the son of Yuan Di, he has a biological mother with a good name. He can also "fake the power of the tiger" and use the power of the heinous reason to shock Zhang Lao'an. Even if they can rely on their elders to make things difficult for themselves, they will not hurt their muscles because there are too many people to protect them. For the second room, the meditation is not enough.
If he becomes the heir of the second wife, no matter how the elders discipline him, it is in accordance with the law and human nature. Where can I find a backer?
Now is the era of ethics, and the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues are the most important.
A world where the king is the leader of the minister, the father is the leader of the son, and the husband is the leader of the wife, it is difficult for a woman to live, and it is not easy for a son to be a son.
If a murderer dies, there is an exception in one case, that is, parents kill children.
The "Da Ming Law" is clearly written. The more you respect the elders and kill the young, the closer you are, the less the crime is.
Although extreme situations such as a father killing a son are rare and such concerns are overwhelming, the father's absolute control over his son from birth to death is suffocating.
The fourth room has the old story three years ago, and the Sun Yuen protected him. The "father's Gang" of Shen Juren could not be revived in front of Shen Rui.
Where is he going to the second wife? He wants to be a good son and live his life according to the arrangements of his parents?
In his previous life, Shen Rui saw a conjecture in the Redology Forum that Jia She did not give birth to a son, but was the heir of the son. Even though she was recorded as the eldest son in the name of Jia and was the heir of the title of Rongguo Mansion, she still had to give up her official rank and live in a corner. .Otherwise, the elders and young people of Rongguo Mansion will not be distinguished, but everyone who has contacted the 40,000 eighth Dukes think it is wrong, which is a bit unreasonable. After all, the more powerful and noble people are, the more important they are, the more important they are to be the elders and young children.
Jia Lian, the eldest grandson of the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, became the housekeeper of the second uncle; Wang Xifeng, the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest son of the eldest son of the house, also flattered Mrs. Wang.
There are also rules of the Jia family. The younger brother is extremely afraid in front of his brother, just like Jia Huan is trembling in front of Jia Baoyu. It is not just a difference between legitimate and illegitimate, but also the seniority and inferiority.
Jia Zheng has always been calm in front of Jia She, without respect for his brother, but instead ignores him. He is a Confucian scholar, with the Four Books and Five Classics on his lips, but he has no guilt for stealing Rongxitang. His greatest confidence is not Jia's mother. He is biased, but he is the biological child of Duke Rong.
Jia She was over fifty years old and was the head of the family. He was often scolded and scolded in front of Jia Mu, and was not just suppressed by the word "filial piety". It was just because he received the title as his heir and was a living person. I have taken a big advantage in my eyes. Even if I live in a side courtyard and have no right to be a housekeeper, because of the title, Rongguo Mansion will be full of kindness and righteousness to him. As long as he has a slight disobedience to Mu Jia, he will be "disobedient"; as long as he has a second house A little bit of exclusion is "ungratefulness".
Not to mention whether this kind of inference is clear or not, but it is clear about the embarrassing status of the heir.
There is a common understanding of "sen" among the people, that is, in the eyes of the parents, the heir is just the heir, and he will not be able to raise the meat on his body, and he will never be a biological child. Few parents of the heir will put down their figure and care about the heir. , Most of them are polite, and they will put care on their descendants. As the saying goes, "The descendants are not parents and children, but the descendants are relatives and grandchildren."
To put it bluntly, the so-called heir is just a "race" selected to reproduce the family's bloodline.
The second house is of high school, and adoption will be of great help in the career of the heir. However, if you want to be a "race", you will raise your children for your parents after giving birth to them, you will be treated like a guest, and you will be like Jia She for the rest of your life. Shen Rui really doesn't care about his filial son.
Juren Chen didn't say anything else, and waved his hand to send Shen Rui to himself.
Shen Rui couldn't leave first, until he watched Juren Chen go to the study and returned to the cross-yard.
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw the lights on the north room. Shen Rui thought Dong was happy, but Liu Yao was there, but he saw Dong Xi, Liu Yao came out of the wing room.
"Second brother, the eldest brother came over after drinking and said he wanted to talk to his second brother. He went into the study and waited for his second brother to come back. He stayed for a while." Dong Xi said.
Liu Ya whispered: "My maid sent the sober soup first, and saw the elder brother sitting at the desk, crying, and looking at it made people feel sad."
Dong Xi whispered: "Is there anything wrong with Aunt Zheng? Aunt Zheng quarreled with the master in the study, and angered the master and was sent out of the man's house today. "
"The sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish leaps. What's wrong with it?" Shen Rui sighed.
Chen Jin felt uncomfortable and drank his sorrows by drinking. It was probably not just for Zheng, but also for the indifference of Chen Juren to their mother and son yesterday.
Shen Ruike looked really good. No matter whether it was the slap marks on Zheng's face or the kick that Chen Jin was hit on his body, the force was not light.
Shen Rui thought that since Chen Jin had eaten the sorrowful wine, he must have fallen asleep. Unexpectedly, when he entered the study, Chen Jin sat there with his eyes open and distracted towards the lampstand.
The tears on Chen Jin's face had been wiped away, leaving only Mu Ran.
Hearing the movement of someone coming in, he raised his head and saw that it was Shen Rui. He showed a smile that was even worse than crying and said, "She is leaving..."
Shen Rui did not pretend to be stupid and asked who was leaving, nor did he say anything but comforting words that he would see him soon after a short time.
Since she knew that Zheng had dealt with the matter of Zhang's sisters so resolutely, Shen Rui saw that Zheng was distracted and would leave the fourth room, and felt that she would not come back.
If you leave a little room for yourself, Zheng will not show off his chariot and horses to turn against each other.
Chen Jin just wanted to talk to someone and continued to murmur, "I know she coaxed me, she said that when I was beaten, she could pick her up and go to Beijing and take care of me in the future... But she was coaxing me, I know ,I just know, but I can only pretend not to know..."
Shen Rui sighed, no matter whether Zheng was good or evil, he was a qualified mother to Chen Jin.
Her concubine's biological mother was in the fourth room for one day, just like the world reminded Chen Jin that she was a fake legitimate, but in fact she was a concubine. Only when she left will Chen Jin's identity as a concubine gradually fade away
How many mothers in the world can give up their children? I feel sorry for parents in the world.
