Chapter 137: Catching the Wind and Washing the Dust (5)
It's Chen Quan coming.
Shen Rui stood up and greeted Chen Quan and sat down. Chen Jue's eyes shining and stared at Chen Quan and said, "Brother Quan also thinks that the second house is inappropriate?"
Chen Quan smiled bitterly and said, "You two are the only two who have suffered a good face, and they both are leaving. I am naturally even more reluctant to stay here. If I had known this, I would have been the one who came to Beijing. The eldest uncle directly sent someone to send me to my elder brother's house. What's the point of such a host is unhappy, the guests are uncomfortable, and it's not cheap for two seconds?"
Chen Jue heard this and said embarrassedly: "Just Brother Quan San said that, my aunt would not follow him. She always had to take the wind and wash away dust. It would be too early to let everyone out after the New Year..."
Shen Rui was beside him, and saw Chen Quan vaguely showing displeasure, he thought for a while: "Maybe the elders of the second house saw Brother Quan and Brother Zhu Jiu, and thought of the late Brother Luo, and he was not happy with Brother Third. .”
When Chen Jue heard this sentence, he felt suddenly enlightened.
The Xu family can treat everyone equally, and the other elders of the second house will not childishly divide the clan nephews who come from afar.
The absent-minded and coldness of the elders in the hall just now, perhaps because Chen Zhu and Chen Quan were similar to Chen Luo in their age, which reminded them of the deceased. When the second wife stared at everyone, wasn’t she also focused on Chen Quan and Chen Zhu? .
Chen Jue has always been soft-hearted. Thinking about the current situation of the second house, he sighed: "It is not easy for the elders of the second house. Uncle Cang and aunts are all sensible, but they are all older. Although the second uncle Zhou has not seen him, I don’t know how sad it is to lose my son in old age. Second Aunt is a stupid person; Uncle Run San’s body looks really thin, and Third Aunt looks weak. Although the mansion here is big and there are many servants and maids, I just felt deserted around."
Chen Quan frowned and said, "Then you will decide on your heir soon... Whether it is Brother Jue or Brother Zhu..."
Chen Jue was startled when he heard this and glared: "Brother Quan San is fine, why should he mention me? I have a father and a mother, but I never thought of being a heir?"
Seeing his furious look, Chen Quan wondered: "Brother Jue doesn't know? You are the one who is most likely to adopt the second family among the people. Didn't the patriarch tell you?"
Chen Jue was already stunned and said blankly: "The great man only said that the second wife was willing to reconcile with my family. One person in each wife would come to Beijing. On behalf of the clan, I have never mentioned that the matter of succession will have something to do with the clan... ”
Chen Quan thought for a while and said, "That's what the great master said, he probably knows who the second wife chose... It's not Brother Jue, who it is
While speaking, Chen Quan fell into deep thought.
Although Chen Jue's youngest son is suitable, the clan's house is close to the second wife, but the shortcomings of Chen Jue is that he is too deeply involved with the clan. The clan leader is raised and the grandparents and grandchildren are deeply in love. The clan's eldest son is also very fond of him. The relationship between father and son is good. There are two brothers above, which are both help and involvement.
The second house needs to consider whether to adopt Chen Jue as his heir, should he hand over the second house to the sect and become the puppet of the sect?
Two generations of father and son have created such a family business, so they must not want this.
If Chen Zhu and Chen Lin were excluded in this way, there would be little hope for Chen Zhu and Chen Lin, because no matter what their qualifications were, they had greedy elders behind them.
The family style and the eighth house were very popular before, but that was in poverty.
If the seventh house and eighth house really comes out to inherit the son’s mansion, then the remaining relatives can still withstand the cold and not come forward to cling to each other? No one can guarantee it.
In this way, the relationship between the one with Bensheng is the most dull and the one who is involved in the least in the future is not the only one Shen Rui left?
Thinking of this, Chen Quanhou realized the clues about Xu's arrival in Songjiang, looked at Shen Rui, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that the heir chosen by the uncle is actually Brother Rui."
This time, there was another shock to Shen Rui.
"How could the third brother think of me? The fourth family has been single-handed for generations and their descendants are not numerous?" Shen Rui said in confusion.
Since they are adopted sons, they naturally have to choose from relatives with many children. Although the four families now have two brothers, they can be passed down for several generations, and the population is already thin.
This is not the most important thing, the key is that he is the only son of Sun.
Even though Chen Jin is now recorded under the name of Sun, Xu has not mentioned it, so she knows that she disagrees with the "recorded legitimate son".
Didn’t the most important thing for the ancients to inherit incense? After adopting his room, Sun was nominally his aunt, and he could no longer be worshipped by him in the future.
It was because of this that Shen Rui did not think of his son's affairs to himself. He just thought that after Xu brought him to Beijing, he would probably think of a Yuzi to keep him in the capital and take care of him nearby.
From the day he was about to leave, the servants and followers of other people were so concise that he could see that he had not reduced his number of people.
Shen Rui did not object to that possibility. It is naturally good to have Shen Li and Wang Shouren in the capital.
Chen Quan said: "You have an elder brother above you, and your stepmother is about to enter the door. The younger brother below said that it will be possible in two years, so why can't you leave his family? Since I have an old age with Aunt Yuan, I will naturally be happy to adopt you. Take care of you. Speaking of which, Uncle Yuan has been too ridiculous in recent years. If Uncle Cang returns to Songjiang and asks carefully, he will not be assured to continue to leave you in the fourth room..."
Hearing this, Shen Rui silently.
In recent years, Juren Chen has been buying a house in a foreign house, taking a beautiful maid, and having an affair with a maid, which has indeed caused a lot of jokes. He loves his eldest son and does not like his original wife and legitimate son. It is not news.
Perhaps in Xu's eyes, the dead are gone, and the living are the most important. What is more legitimate than using adoptive methods to keep him in the capital?
In this way, the third master and the third wife were given an explanation for his special attention. The two were mostly the elder parents chosen by Xu, and the pity and love in the eyes of these two people were the reasons.
For a moment, Shen Rui felt in a mess.
Although he only met once, he did not have a bad impression of the third master and the third wife. The two were not smart people, and they were all happy and unhappy.
I just looked at the attention and urgency of the two people when they saw him, and I was also satisfied with him.
Thinking that Juren Chen was becoming less and less bottom line in his behavior, Zhang Lao'an's various malice intentions, Chen Jin was gloomy after Zheng left, and Shen Rui was moved by the incident of his succession.
However, thinking that the third master was three, there were four brothers and sisters-in-law on it, and the three little brothers lived together, Shen Rui hesitated again.
With the care of the eldest master and Xu, he said that he would not do anything to discipline his heirs in the future. The second master and the second wife also took the title of brother and sister-in-law, and could also point fingers at the matters of the third master.
In this way, becoming the heir of the third master means that there will be six elders on their heads.
From the fact that Xu was able to lead these people into Beijing, it can be seen that the second house would no longer place the responsibility of inheriting bloodlines on one heir, and most of the small houses would choose their own heirs.
That also means that after Shen Rui became the third elder, in addition to the six elders, there will be two more cousins, and the people who can "give orders" to him will suddenly become eight; the advantage is that everyone is all If you are a relative, whether it is human relationships or worldly feelings, you should be more polite and less casual.
If you blame your parents for having children, you should be strict in discipline; if you blame your children, you should be concerned about whether it will cause criticism.
Seeing Shen Rui's face, Chen Quan just thought it was his fault, which made him unhappy. Even though the two had a close relationship, I said in front of my son that I was disrespectful and said, "It's the third brother who is talking quickly, Brother Rui, don't Just like the third brother.”
Shen Rui shook his head and said, "The third brother misunderstood. I wasn't angry with my third brother. If it was the third brother, I woke me up. There is indeed a possibility, and I feel a little confused."
Chen Jue looked at Shen Rui with bright eyes and said, "No wonder the great master treated Brother Rui differently that day, and now he found the reason." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, Brother Rui, you can be the Minister's Mansion." The heir, let Uncle Yuan regret it, and your elder brother is jealous. What's so great about him robbing the name of the eldest son of the fourth house, the heir of the second house is more precious than that..."
Seeing that his voice grew older and higher, Chen Quan hurriedly stepped forward to cover his mouth and whispered: "Little ancestor, speak softly. After all, we just guess that if Zhang Yang opens up, it would seem like Brother Rui clings to them."
Chen Jue hurriedly covered his mouth and laughed twice: "Brother Zhu Jiu wants to get a bamboo basket and get a waste..."
Thinking of the second wife's voice when she saw everyone, she was obviously extremely resistant to the second wife's choice of successors. If she was pushed to be a heir at this time, she still didn't know what she would make a fuss about. Shen Rui frowned and thought about it, thinking that the choice of successors might still be Some drag.
Seeing Shen Rui frowning, Chen Jue only thought he rejected the adoption and hurriedly advised: "Brother Rui, don't want Aunt Xiaoyuan to be foolish. If she protects you, this is naturally boring; Now that my aunt is not here, you are alone, and I don’t know how much wronged you will suffer in the future. Uncle Yuan doesn’t love you, but when my step aunt comes in, you may become a thorn in your eyes and a thorn in your flesh. This is because of the stepmother’s unkindness. How has a tragedy of human relations been rare?"
Chen Quan was old and thought a lot.
Chen Jue only thought that Shen Rui could adopt him and avoid the unkindness of the elders of the fourth room, but he did not consider how to deal with the elders of the second room after he really wanted to adopt him and how to deal with him after he was not easy to get along with.
In the fourth room, Shen Rui is a legitimate son with a legitimate son. Even if he has brothers, his status is the highest among all brothers. When he becomes an heir, he may not be less places than in the fourth room.
Chen Quan thought for a while and said, "The most important thing is to first figure out how deep Aunt Yuan and Aunt Yuan are in love. If it is as the eldest aunt said, and as the sisters, what is the reason why I cut off contacts... If it were just a misunderstanding back then, it would be fine if I lost contacts. I was an elder who had a support. If I became an heir, I would not be angry if I had my aunt taken care of me in the future. If it was really involved in grudges These things will be nice to Brother Rui for a moment, but it is hard to guarantee that there is no grudge in my heart. How about not being happy to Brother Rui again after the guilt is over?"
Chen Jue said in surprise: "No way... Look at Aunt Cang is not that stingy..."
Chen Quan remembered the third master just now. The third wife was warm to Shen Rui, and touched her chin and said, "It's not referring to the uncle, who knows the others... The uncle didn't mention the heir in Songjiang, and he can still say he was guarding him. Uncle Yuan stopped him; when he arrived in the capital, he still hid Brother Rui among the crowd, so there must be some reason..."
Outside the study door, Mama Hao held the tea tray in her hand and tiptoed back down.
It was not that she was eavesdropping on purpose, but that she was just looking at Dong Xi, Liu Ya and the others were busy, embarrassed to be idle, and just showed their kindness to Shen Rui. Unexpectedly, she heard these amazing words.
The old mother was a little dumbfounded. Before, Zhang Lao'an told her to "support the fire" to promote Shen Rui as the heir. She just thought that Zhang Lao'an was old and confused, but she didn't expect that this happened...
