"Brother Rui wants to live in my eldest brother's house?" Guo was stunned when he heard this, then waved his hand and sent out the two maids next to him, and his face turned heavy: "Brother Rui doesn't want to follow your uncle Cang to come in.
Beijing?"
Seeing Guo's face was worried, Shen Rui shook his head and said, "I'm willing to go out to see the world, it's a good thing. There are brothers from the tribe in the capital, let alone accompanying the third brother, Jue and others...
But my nephew is clumsy and has never seen the clan uncles of the second house and the clan uncles, who are afraid of being restrained."
Guo was silent for a while, and Fang Youyou said, "I haven't told Brother Rui yet that my aunt accompanied your uncle Cang out of the city yesterday. She was going to pay homage to your mother's grave. In front of your mother's grave, your uncle Cang carefully
When asked about your mother and mother's situation over the years, my aunt talked too much and said everything... Although she didn't cry, her sad look was not pretending..."
She fell down a biological mother for no reason. Maybe she had no malice, but the attitude of the elders taking it for granted that he was arranged by him was really speechless.
Even if she was really sad about Sun's situation during her lifetime, Shen Rui could not empathize and said in a muffled voice: "Uncle Cang said, why did my mother have no news for three years, and now she remembered her nephew?"
It was a nephew Shen Li, who had a message with the second wife, who was in the village to mourn him. It was a lie to say that the second wife did not know that Sun had left.
If the Xu family and Sun family had a deep relationship, they would not have taken care of themselves after knowing that Shen Rui had lost his mother, just like Guo family and Shen Li.
It was not until the second family left their descendants and Xu returned to his hometown to choose his heirs, that he said that he had a connection with Sun, but he did not treat Shen Rui differently in front of others.
Although she was quite close to Guo’s mother and daughter, she took the initiative to visit the prefect who had taken care of Shen Rui, and looked at her with a hint of looking out for Sun.
However, Xu did not mention the matter of "popular concubines and wives" when Shen Juren was selling his dowry by the Zhang family and being involved in the He family.
Shen Rui has also thought about the past few days whether Xu would say why there has been no movement in the past three years and whether there are any difficulties or concerns. However, after meeting Xu twice, Xu did not mention this at all.
Perhaps it was because of fear in front of others? Then, in private, would you say something to Guo?
Guo shook his head: "I didn't say this. However, although my aunt only saw her twice, she saw that she was an open-minded, generous and generous person. I think there must be something hidden."
Shen Rui also had some vision, and he also saw that Xu was not the kind of confusing and calculating personality, but was a person who could think about others.
For example, yesterday, when Xu was hosting, Zhu Yunming, Wei Xue, and He Taizhi and other nephews came forward to accompany the guests on behalf of their aunt, and they also said that.
Xu did not ask them out. In addition to sympathizing with their nephews and unwilling to let them be restrained, he also did not want to bother the people of all tribes.
Zhu Yunming is fine. Even though his seniority is low, he is not confused, so it is reasonable to save the ceremony. When Wei School was in his prime, He Taizhi was even a boy. These two people came out to pay their respects, but the elders of the Shen family could not save the ceremony.
The eight-bedroom house in the Songjiang River in Shen family is not very rich. The only one who lives a wealthy life is the clan house, three-bedroom, four-bedroom, five-bedroom, and several-bedroom houses, six-bedroom, seven-bedroom houses, eight-bedroom houses, and nine-bedroom houses are also the ritual of farming and reading.
Home, but life is only slightly better than ordinary families.
When Shen Li mentioned Shen Rui the second house in Beijing in his early years, he also praised Shen Cang and his wife for their behavior.
This is also the reason why Shen Rui felt that Xu was strange and was unhappy with her arrangements, but he could not feel disgusted with her.
Thinking of this, Shen Rui was originally a little irritable and felt relieved.
No matter what unspeakable relationship Xu and Sun had, the deceased was gone. Seeing that Xu was only guilty of Sun, there shouldn't be anything that would make things difficult for him.
However, thinking that the second wife is now at the critical moment of choosing a successor, Shen Rui asked, "Auntie, have you mentioned when will I send us back?"
Guo laughed and said, "Brother Rui hasn't left, so he started to miss home. He has to live for a year and a half. But Brother Rui doesn't have to worry, your third brother will take the hospital examination the next year, the most important thing is
I will turn back at the end of next year. You will be back with him all the way, and it will not delay your fate in the next year."
Shen Rui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It seemed that Xu had not expressed his intention to stay in the capital for a long time in front of Guo. He had been thinking deeply for the past two days, but he was self-indulgent.
However, seeing that each house leader was staring at the position of the second house heir, Guo had no intention at all, and Shen Rui admired it from the bottom of his heart.
If it were someone else, a great opportunity was right in front of me, and I could not say that I could make excuses, "The youngest son will succeed and will help the two brothers in the future" or "Brother Quan has a poor academic qualification and has the status of a son of the Minister's Mansion, and he will be cute and kind.
Entering the government is also a way out.” In all kinds of things, they have given up their flesh and blood for wealth with confidence.
And as the above excuses said, for the fifth house with two sons taking the imperial examination, it is the greatest benefit to give up a son with a low academic qualification to exchange for the second house to help the fifth house.
Not every mother can be like Guo, with her flesh and blood priority and will not be greedy.
Even if Juren Shen came back last night, hesitantly asked him that sentence, and hesitated to reveal something. If Shen Rui nodded and said that he wanted to be his heir, Juren Shen might be "helpless" and "loving his son is sincere.
"The earth's propelling will help him "to fulfill" him.
Seeing that Shen Rui was silent, Guo said, "Brother Rui is thinking about choosing a heir to the second wife?"
Shen Rui nodded: "Although I don't know what the purpose of Uncle Cang is, I can bring the boys from various rooms to Beijing. I am afraid that there will be some fun when I arrive in the capital. My nephew is worried that it will cause trouble to Chiyu, so he wonders if he will follow the third brother to bother with him.
, sister-in-law.”
When Guo heard this, he couldn't help but ponder.
Just now, when Shen Rui mentioned that he wanted to live in his elder brother's house, Guo did not agree because he was concerned about the face of his second wife.
After all, the children in the clan were invited to Beijing by the second wife, and Shen Rui's biological mother also had a relationship with the Xu family. If she lived outside, she would seem unhappy to be close to the second wife, because she was afraid that Xu would think too much.
But Shen Rui's worries are not without reason. Guo lowered his head and weighed the pros and cons, and nodded and said, "You are the only legitimate blood in the fourth house. The second house's choice of heir is very different. But who knows how others think? Maybe it's because
Your uncle Cang is close to you, and those who are willing to plan a position of heir will be afraid of you. If the Minister's Mansion is peaceful, you will be visiting the clan brothers; if there is really any movement, don't bear it and move it out.
Go to your elder brother's house and live with your third brother. I wrote my letter to your elder brother before, asking him to help your third brother pay attention to the academy. You will come out in the name of following your third brother's study, and I think even the elders of the second house will
It's not easy to stop you.
As he had a way out, Shen Rui felt more and more at ease. When he thought of Dong Xi, Liu Ya and his two, he said, "Although he has a lot of trouble for his aunt, his nephew is still thick with face and troubles his aunt. It is difficult to bring so many people when he goes out.
Dong Xi and Liu Ya, can you let them come here?"
When Guo heard this, he thought that Juren Chen had been acting in recent years, and he also felt disgusted in his eyes, and knew that Shen Rui's intention was to do this.
The two families have lived next door for several lifetimes, and the servants often have any information. These days, the four families are noisy, and the scenes of beating and chasing people are performed one after another. Guo also heard a little, but he did not say in front of his son that the master is not. , I can only think that I don't know.
"Not to use it here. If you go out, you need someone to order you to take them away. How old are you? Where can you take care of others when you wash your daily life? How useful are you to take care of yourself? You don't have to be ashamed, you three. I also have to bring my maid to serve my daily life here." Guo said with a smile.
Shen Rui hesitated and said, "Auntie, isn't this convenient? If everyone brought four or five people to serve, how many people would follow him to Beijing?"
Guo shook his head and said, "It's more than four or five? If you don't talk about others, just say that Brother Rui, except for what you often use, your father must at least arrange for two people to follow. One is the butler who can speak, and the other is the old man. Mom. The two families in the same clan have been away for more than 60 years, and finally they are willing to communicate with each other. You little ones are on behalf of each family to greet each other, so naturally they have to follow the old family to send a formal gift list; they also need to be a good mother. I take care of you and restrain you from being naughty to cause trouble for your relatives.”
China is a country of etiquette. After this year's eternal year, it was the first time that it had been alienated for decades, but it was not nude.
Thinking of Chen Juren's attitude of being both face-loving and stingy, this kind of ritual preparation will hurt again, Shen Rui was in a good mood. As for whether the sect's mother would make trouble, Shen Rui was not worried. He had an accountant and a wife. The fate of the two families was in front of him, and the servants of the four houses thought that no one had the courage to be arrogant in front of him.
As the two were talking, Chen Quan came in and said, "Mom, cousin is here, saying that it was the order of Zuncang to come and deliver things. What is it? Hulala servant, about ten male servants Protect.”
Guo stood up and said, "Your uncle Cang told me yesterday that you want to repurchase the land in Songjiang and send a sum of money and ask me to help me watch the land."
Chen Quan said curiously: "Don't the second house registered in Beijing? Why do you come back to buy the property? Will Uncle Cang and others return to their hometown in the future?"
Before entering Beijing, the third emperor sold all the property of the second family, which showed his determination. It is indeed surprising that he is going to buy property in Songjiang again.
Shen Rui was listening and immediately thought of the word "Cunning Rabbit Three Holes".
The Ming Dynasty literati ruled the country, but the literati were the most powerful. They also had to be mixed with factory guards and snobbish, and the inner court was connected to the outer court. The higher the official position of Chen Cang, the more dangerous the situation was. In the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet ministers were mostly from the officialdom. There are few people who have good endings.
Just like Xu Youzhen, the father of Xu, who was "fraudulent" Yu Qian and had no signs of dismissal. Not only did he lose his official position, he was compared to "Qin Hui" by later generations, and was condemned for eternity.
In fact, as the chief minister, who can stop the emperor from trying to deal with Yu Qian? He was just like Qin Hui, who was the emperor's scapegoat.
Yue Fei was obsessed with going north to fight against the Jin Dynasty to welcome the two emperors. Emperor Gaozong could not tolerate it, so he had twelve gold medals, and he had the crime of "falseness". Yue Fei was executed, and the chief assistant Qin Hui came out to take the jar.
In the Tumu Fort Incident, Yingzong was captured. The Mongols took his troops to the city. The civil and military ministers were entrusted. The Han people were about to die. Yu Qian supported Emperor Jingtai to ascend the throne and respected Yingzong as the emperor, which made the Mongols lose their support. He also led the military and civilians to carry out the The Battle of Beijing ultimately forced the Mongols to retreat.
For the monarch and ministers, Yu Qian saved the country and the people, and Emperor Jingtai later relied on him very much and entrusted all the defenses in the capital.
For Emperor Yingzong, Yu Qian was a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh. After the restoration was successful, he asked Yu Qian about the crime of "planning to embrace the son of King Xiang as the crown prince", and executed him and abandoned his body on the streets.
When the people all said that Yu Qian was wronged and the feelings were surging, Emperor Yingzong also "regrets". This crime of being loyal and loyal was naturally punished by his ministers.
In terms of this, it is really appropriate to compare Xu Youzhen to Qin Hui. Both of them took the blame for the emperor.
Seeing that Guo and Chen Quan went to collect some property, Shen Rui said goodbye first and returned home.
He had to bring Dongxi and Liu Ya with him, but also let them start preparing. If there is any arrangement for Chen Juren, he should also ask him to find him.
As soon as he returned to the yard, before Shen Rui could talk to Dongxi, Liu Ya and Juren sent someone to pass on the news.
When Shen Rui entered the study room, he saw the butler Zhao Qing also standing next to him.
After Shen Rui invited An, Juren Chen said, "The clans and relatives were alienated in their early years. Now that they have moved around, they should be fully polite. For my father, I have asked someone to prepare a festive ceremony. Tomorrow, the housekeeper will accompany you to the capital and give gifts on behalf of the four houses. .”
He had heard Guo mention this just now, and Shen Rui agreed honestly without any surprise.
Chen Juren pointed to a brocade bag on the desk: "I have sent someone to redeem fifty taels of gold here. Please keep it carefully. If there is a spending place in the capital, I will redeem it. Don't be stingy with the petty family and make people laugh."
Shen Rui was surprised by such generousness. Thinking about Shen Ju Ren's temperament, the point of loving face should be stingy.
However, the gold was kept by Shen Rui himself, and the housekeeper should have been given to him. The housekeeper should have returned after giving gifts and would not be stranded in the capital.
Chen Juren thought about the gift list and the fifty taels of gold in front of him, and he really felt it hurt. After giving the explanation, he waved his hand and said, "Old An has instructions, go there."
Fifty taels of gold are only more than three pounds, and one pack of fists is the size of a fist.
Shen Rui took the brocade bag and left. He did not rush to the inner courtyard. Instead, he sent the gold back to the cross-yard and asked Dongxi to collect it. He then said to Dongxi, Liu Ya: "Auntie said you can bring more people to Beijing. You two can pack up your luggage, too."
When Liu Ya heard this, she was happy in her expression; when winter was happy, she also brought joy to her face.
Although both of them lived in the fifth room before, they are now Shen Rui's maids. If they go to the fifth room, they will become a residence. Instead, it is better to be with Shen Rui and come with peace of mind.
Shen Rui smiled and went to the backyard to see Zhang Lao'an.
In the inner room, Zhang Lao'an sat on the arhat couch and was talking to Hao's mother standing next to her.
Seeing Shen Rui coming, Zhang Lao Anren greeted him with a loving look on his face, and took his hand and said, "I'm going to go far... It's really hard for me to bear... It's good to stay at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to go out, second brother How can people not be worried about this age? If it were someone else, my grandmother would stop him even if she had given up her face, but the one who spoke was the wife of the minister. Even the clan leader did not dare to say anything. Our family was also All you can do is listen..."
The old lady still had a sick look on her face, but her eyes were shiny, and she looked full of energy. She spoke a series of reluctant words, and there was something Xu relied on her power and the fourth wife could do nothing.
When he was in a state of emotion, Zhang Lao'an's eyes were red, as if he was reluctant to leave his grandson's loving grandmother.
Compared with Guo's carefulness, Zhang Lao'an's "love" is light and just said it, not putting it into practice at all. Even if Shen Rui packed his luggage and prepared everything, she didn't remember to ask.
Previous sentence.
Shen Rui sneered in his heart, and only watched the old lady performing a show coldly. I think there is so much to be published in front, so there must be a main text behind.
Sure enough, when Zhang Lao'an talked about half a cup of tea, Shen Rui's ears were buzzing. The old lady looked solemn, and the show was coming...
