One hundred and eightieth chapter relatives (four)
When the eldest master came back from the yamen, Xu talked about the house repair and proposed to hand over the matter to the third master.
The master did not object and sent someone to invite the third master to come and speak.
The third master was indeed very interested in the matter of building a house and showed joy: "Brother, sister-in-law, is this house really going to be built into a private school?
The master originally did not agree with his wife's proposal, but when he saw his younger brother looking, he stroked his beard and nodded, "Your yard is not big, now that several brothers are studying on your side, so I'd better clean up a place.
For better”
The third master looked at the house drawings with his eyes shining, and hesitated and said, "It would be a pity to demolish the houses after this."
"The first two entry is not enough for you?" the master asked when he heard what he meant.
The third master laughed awkwardly: "Now there are only Brother Rui and Brother Jue and others, so it's certainly enough... If there are other students in the future, it will be smaller if you enter the yard twice..."
The master has always cared about this younger brother. Even though the third master did not make it clear to him, he still saw his little thoughts over the days.
The eldest master is not as nervous as the eldest wife thinks. The third master is old and it is not a bad thing to do a career, but it requires doing what he can and planning carefully.
He thought about it and said, "It is not so easy to run a school... People cannot become fat in one bite. If you are really interested in this, I will ask you carefully. The third brother and sister-in-law also have a college in their homes. When the weather is good, you will
Accompany your third brother and sister to your parents' home more often.”
When the third master heard this, he was very surprised: "Brother doesn't object?"
The master snorted, "If I object, will you extinguish this thought?"
The third master smiled and said, "I will beg my elder brother, and I will also ask my elder sister-in-law and second brother to help me talk about my relationship..."
"It's hard to support it alone. You can't do it alone. I and your second brother can't get out of the way... How to choose an assistant, who will choose to be the assistant, you must have a good idea in your heart." The master said this and stopped.
Dun: "I don't agree with the way of recruiting students regardless of the qualifications of disciples. Our family does not expect this life. Don't steal other people's livelihoods, and your body can't stand it. Just these places in front and behind, live
It's either an official or a gentry, and no one can afford to take laziness... According to me, take it slowly. Not to mention others, it's just Brother Rui, Brother Jue and others. If you teach me, the boy will try it
Once you pass, you will be more famous. When their brothers are on the provincial examination list, others will beg to send students to you..."
The eldest master was solemn and spoke very well. The third master nodded while listening.
Xu was beside him, and he was worried and felt at ease after listening to her husband's words.
The eldest master agreed happily, but he drew a big cake for the third master.
Shen Rui and Shen Jue's brothers will only end next year. Even if they go well, they will have to pass the college entrance examination in June next year; if the provincial examination is in three years.
After three years of hard work, the third master was suitable for teaching, and whether his body would be exhausted, could see it really. At that time, if the third master did not change his original intention, his brother and sister-in-law would naturally be happy to see him achieve his career;
If the third master is so tired that he is heartbroken, he doesn't need to stop him, and he knows the importance of it.
The third master was fooled by the eldest master's solemn appearance. He could not have imagined that this was a "delay plan". Thinking of Shen Rui, the four of Shen Jue brothers came, and began to seriously consider the possibility of these people getting fame as soon as possible.
After thinking about the qualifications of several people, the third master said: "Group Rui can try the hospital examination next year, and it will be good if the others can pass the hospital examination. It will take two years of water-mixing..."
After hearing what he said, the master was also a little concerned: "Look, these nephews can all take care of their careers?"
The third master nodded: "Brother Qin has a poor qualification, so he probably has to play a few more times. The other three nephews are all good reading seeds... But Brother Bao was not in the Four Books before, and his foundation was not stable and he was backward. Brother Rui, Brother Jue…”
The master sighed: "The Shen family and Rui Ge and his family have been passed down for six generations, and finally they have a scholarly family."
The third master counted the outstanding figures of the younger generation of the clan and couldn't help but be shocked: "Fortunately, Shen Li's wave of age and Brother Rui and Brother Jue were more than twenty years apart, otherwise the Shen family generation The children are too eye-catching…”
The third master still took on the errands for repairing the house, but Xu discussed with him and asked him to take the opportunity to teach some of his nephews and common affairs.
It is mid-February, and it is the time to restore everything, and it is a good time to repair your house.
The East House was planned by Xu earlier. The two entrances in the front were left and the gate to the street was left directly; the third entrance was the residence of the third master and the third wife, which was connected to the corner gate on the main house; the two entrances in the back were all pushed down and one was built. Garden.
Although the third master was in charge of this matter, the servants in charge of the Shen family have always been well-trained and know that in the Shen family, the third master has not been in office, but his status is extraordinary. He usually annoyed the eldest master and the eldest wife, but he just took money or fought. Board; if anyone dares to make the third master angry, the whole family will be driven out.
In addition, Shen Rui, Chen Jue and others who were ordered to "support" the third master, all of whom were careful about the third master, for fear of being tired, and they could think of what they could think of.
Therefore, the third master took the job for half a month, and he was not tired at all, but his complexion became better and better.
Xu was secretly concerned and sighed in his heart, so he relayed Shen Rui's words to the master.
"If you really care, it will be inconvenient. Master and I should learn to let go..." Xu said.
The master was silent for a while and sighed: "The authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear. Maybe we are really wrong. If the third brother stood up early, he would not be embarrassed about choosing a heir..."
The eldest master and the Xu couple had similar views, that is, people are more important than money. They did not agree with the third master's mention of Shen Rui's "along with the help of the enemy". It was just that because there was no other candidate, they were worried. The third master and the third wife agreed vaguely.
If one day the third master and the third wife change their minds and want to choose another heir, the couple will not object...
Although the second wife and the second wife who returned to Songjiang to worship their ancestors was still on the way, the second wife's heir in the capital had already been decided. The news that the second wife was about to return home had been spread to Songjiang through letters from each house.
The master of Zongfang went to see the patriarch's great master with his eldest son's letter.
The father and son were speechless, and the master of the Zongfang family said, "It's just as my father thought, the young eldest son really chose Brother Rui... It's a good thing that Brother Jue can be admitted to the second wife, but with Shen Luo Zhuyu in front of him, Jue I'm afraid it will be very hard..."
The patriarch lord sighed and said, "Don't be greedy and not enough to study, Brother Jue's qualifications are no less than Brother Ji. He was too unmotivated at home before..."
The eldest son of the Zongfang family was only 100 years old when he got Chen Jue, the youngest son, who had always been in pain. Although he was "fulfilled his wish" at this moment, he really couldn't be happy.
He was silent for a while and said, "Dad, Brother Jue is already thirteen...his marriage..."
Upon hearing this, the clan leader frowned and said, "Don't be confused about the future of the mess. You have his own parents to plan for him. If you really feel sorry for him, you should stay away from him. Don't make the child embarrassed..."
The eldest son of Zongfang thought about what he mentioned in his eldest son's letter that Chen Jue and Shen Rui would not go south with the second master. In this way, separation before the New Year was a separation of flesh and blood, and I don't know when we meet again.
His waist suddenly bent down...
In the fifth house, Guo also received a letter from his eldest son Chen Ying.
Because of Chen Quan, Shen Rui and the other two went to the capital. Guo followed him day and night, and saw the letter from home, he couldn't wait to read it.
After watching it, Guo was stunned.
Chen Quan's study has been arranged, and he will study in a famous academy that specializes in the Hanlin Courtyard; but what happened here in Shen Rui? Why didn't he mention the fact that he worshiped the ancestors of the Sun family in a single sentence, but became a second room directly Heir?
Shen Rui followed Xu into Beijing and was one thing to be protected by the second house. It was another thing to be directly enrolled in the second house and become the heir of Xu and Master Cang?
Guo felt a sense of anger blocking his chest and feeling depressed and immediately sent someone to invite her husband over.
"Sister-in-law Yuan has only one biological son, Brother Rui. How can the second wife do this?" Guo brought some dissatisfaction and complained to her husband: "What's this? Could it be that Sister-in-law Yuan will rely on a sacrificial incense fire in the future. ?What was the destruction of the fourth house in his early years? Sister Yuan supported it like she was trying to save the family fortune for the illegitimate evil people?"
"Didn't my wife highly agree with Brother Rui's entry into Beijing?" Master Hong was a little confused when he saw his wife so annoyed.
Guo gritted his teeth and said, "I hope Brother Rui gets the protection of his second wife, but I didn't think about letting Brother Rui pass through their family directly. Sister Yuan has only this one, so how can the eldest wife of the second wife really bear it?"
Master Hong shook his head and said, "The more trouble the next door is, the less decent it is. Even if Brother Rui is in the fourth room, what benefits can he get? Sister Cang is thinking about his old friend. He is only good to him, what are you doing? Don’t worry? Even if Sister Yuan is alive and the second wife wants to have an heir, Sister Yuan will nod for the sake of Brother Rui’s good.”
Guo was still depressed: "Although this pair of Brother Rui is not a bad thing, I am just aggrieved for Sister Yuan..."
No matter what they think, for things like "Xing Mie Jijue", except for the sect, it is difficult to interfere in other houses, and they cannot interfere in other houses.
The clan house and the five houses are not people who like to make a name for themselves. The two families know that they have not spread the news.
As for the third room, Chen Yong did not write back because of the disaster caused by Chen Zhu. Here in the fourth room, Chen Juren was even more inaccessible and had never heard of it at all.
Chen Juren focused all his thoughts on marrying in March, and he was very concerned about how much dowry the He family could pay.
Chen He's family stood together in Songjiang, and the Shen family's betrothal gift was sent over the gloriously. If the He family's dowry was shabby, then the He family would lose face.
As for the words that Mr. He Er asked Master Zongfang to spread before, the dowry was prepared for 5,000 taels of silver, so Chen Juren was certainly not happy. Mr. He Er occupied Sun's family's marriage, causing the Shen family to lose a few 5,000 taels. silver……
