One hundred and eighty-first chapter relatives (five)
In March, spring is bright.
The second wife sat in the room, but she felt depressed. She calculated the days and hoped that her husband would return soon. However, the calculations were made. Her husband might not have arrived in Songjiang yet, and she would have to stay in Songjiang again. It would take several months to return to Beijing.
.
What's this called?
The third master has always been a hand-off manager, but the eldest wife asked the third master to rest and rectify the house in the east. This is not the key, the key is that the five-entry mansion in the east is actually belonged to the Shen family.
It turns out that the family lived there was also an official family. Since the two families were neighbors, they were not allowed to go back and forth, and the second wife had also been to visit the next door. The other side was the same as the middle road here, with all kinds of colors.
I really didn't expect that the house there was also belonging to the Shen family, but neither she nor the second master knew about it.
Even though there was a yard next door, when the great master was alive, he drove them to the south city to do it. There was a mixture of fish and dragons there, so where was the quiet and elegant place?
Everyone is living together, but now what does it mean to be trapped in the same house?
Why don’t the house next door be allowed to live in?
Is it the great master who is partial to him and left it to his younger son?
The third master is just a concubine's son, and the second master is the eldest master's brother. However, over the years, he has never seen the eldest master treat the second master differently, but instead takes good care of the third master.
The second wife remembered the scene when she was separated from her family the day after she got married. At that time, the great master said that they were the brothers who divided the family property, but in fact, the only one house in Nancheng, two villages in Fangshan, and
Four thousand taels of silver.
She was only fourteen years old at that time, and before she could finish her hair, she even left the gate of Shen's house with her dowry.
My mother-in-law is her biological aunt, but she can’t do anything except crying. The grandfather and uncle looked at her coldly, and the eldest sister-in-law was also perfunctory.
The second wife knew that they were complaining about themselves and felt that they shouldn’t have snatched the second master and ruined the engagement between the Shen and Sun families. But they all said “benevolence, righteousness and morality”. Who really thought about the second master?
Scholars, farmers, industrialists and businessmen, and the second master really wants to marry a business woman, he will be laughed at for the rest of his life.
As for Sun Min... the second wife felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of this.
Since ancient times, marriages have always been of equal status. Even if Sun Min did not marry into the Shen family, she was the only daughter of the Sun family and had a dowry, so she would definitely not be wrong. She could not say that she had already had a family of children and grandchildren.
Thinking of the word "children and grandchildren", the second wife's tears fell.
If I had not been determined to do anything, I had to marry the He family and have a three-year-old wife for my son, but instead I would have found a daughter-in-law who was about the same age as my son, and my son would not have been married until he was eighteen years old.
, go out of the city with friends to run.
Even if the destiny is not violated, if the son gets married early, he will still be left with blood.
When Shen Jue enters the second house, she will not make this mistake again. She must decide the marriage of the heir early and get the heir soon. Everyone will be at ease. Even if the second master has a concubine's son in the future, he will be ranked behind...
…
Songjiang, wharf.
Shen Zhou stepped onto the ground from the boat board and breathed a sigh of relief.
He lived in his forties. The farthest place he went out before was in the northern Zhili area, hundreds of miles away from the capital. Now he has been lying on the boat for a whole month and a half, and he feels that his bones are rusted.
The Zongfang was satisfied with the news of the capital, so he sent someone to stare at the dock.
Although no one knew Chen Zhou, everyone who came back with him, including Chen Qi, Shen Ling, and Chen Lin, were familiar with each other.
On this side, the second house has not yet unloaded the gifts from each house in Songjiang, and the master of the sect house has already rushed over with his son Chen.
According to the seniority and seniority, the master of Zongfang is a clan brother and Chenzhou is a clan brother, so he didn't need to be greeted by Zongfang. However, the situation in Chenzhou is different. He has been since the third master left Songjiang sixty years ago The second wife returned to Songjiang for the first time to worship her ancestors. Although Xu had also returned last year, she was just a woman after all.
Chenzhou met the master of the Zongfang and hurriedly bowed to the ceremony.
The two clan brothers were not close. In the second year of Hongzhi, when Shenji entered Beijing for the first time, the master of the Zongfang sent his son to Beijing and took his son to visit the second room.
This year is the 14th year of Hongzhi, which happened twelve years ago.
The master of the Zongfang was in his prime and Chenzhou was only thirty years old. Now both of them are old.
The second wife wanted to worship the ancestors, but it was not the ancestors of the second wife. Because the second wife was in the cemetery in Songjiang, there are only other branches buried. The third wife moved the tombs of her biological mother and two elder brothers to the middle of the capital, and waited for the second wife's old wife. After many years of Piaomiao and Wuzhi, the third uncle moved the grave of the old man who opened the room to the middle of the capital. As for the old man who opened the second uncle, he finally established a tomb.
"This separation has been more than ten years. Brother, I am already old." Master Zongfang sighed.
He was also a person who sat in the face of the five and six. Seeing that Chen Zhou was close to him, he felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that he would become his youngest father.
Chen Zhou said: "Brother of the big clan sent the big clan brother to Beijing, but the big clan brother was still a young boy. Now the eldest grandson of the big clan brother can end up... The younger generation grew up, and we are all old..."
It is said that the master of the Zongfang family had met Xu in the capital back then, but because Xu was a female family member, it was hard to take a closer look. After twenty years of leaving Xu to Songjiang to see the marriage, I can no longer remember it.
The two clan brothers greeted each other, and Chen went to Chen Qi and spoke.
There were seven teenagers who followed Xu to Beijing last year. Why did Chen Lin come back now?
Except for Chen Zhu skipping over the unexplained situation, Chen Qi told Chen about the other five people.
Because the master of Zongfang and the great master of Zongfang did not inform the family of Chen Jue's successor, Chen didn't know about it before. After hearing Chen Qi's words, Chen felt stormy in his heart.
He didn't know whether he should be happy and had a younger brother to separate his family property or be depressed, why he was not young.
The second son of the eldest son of the clan, should be in such a rotation, but he was older, and then Chen Jue was followed.
But in recent years, he has helped the master of the Zongfang family to manage common affairs. Chen has already practiced the ability to remain calm and said with a smile: "In this way, the elders have arranged it thoroughly..."
The second house sends Chen Lin back alone. He doesn’t leave any face for the Jiufang, so it’s not surprising to think about it carefully.
Who made Jiufang a top scholar? The appearance of Jiufang's grandfather's occupation of the orphan and widowed mother's property was too ugly. The second house and Shen Li were in the capital. Because of his reasons, there was also a legitimate branch of Jiufang.
Actually, I've been thinking too much.
No matter what the grudges were, Chen Li obviously did not mean to take his anger on Chen Lin's head, but he didn't pay much attention to it. The two were cousins, just in Shen Ji and Chen Ying picked up people before the New Year, and Chen Li's was also the one who was like this. Shen Rui, it’s not Chen Lin’s cousin.
This is true for Chen Lin, how could the elders of the second room make things difficult for Chen Lin?
To be honest, if Chen Lin has some qualifications, the third master will keep him in Beijing. In fact, he found that Chen Lin is just a stone-minded person, and that's the case with staying in Beijing, so the third master did not keep Chen Lin.
At this moment, Chen Yuan and the Master of the Zongfang had finished their greetings.
Master Zongfang asked Chenzhou to get on the bus, and the group slowly headed to Shenjiafang.
Before we could wait for Shenjiafang, we heard a hustle and bustle in front of us, surrounded by many people.
Seeing this, Chen immediately sent someone over to take a look.
It turned out that the He family was sending dowry, and everyone was watching the fun and blocking the intersection.
Chen found out clearly, then rode his horse to the carriage and reported the matter to the master of the sect inside.
The master of Zongfang thought about the marriage he was a matchmaker and found it very boring.
It is difficult for matchmakers to do it, and if you are not careful, you will complain on both sides; but here you will complain on both sides.
"Since you meet the team that sends dowry from the He family, let's wait aside." said the master of Zongfang.
Chen responded, and Chen Yuan in the carriage said curiously: "He family? Is He Dongsheng's He family? Is that the in-laws of the brother of the big clan? Now is this more kinship?"
The master of Zongfang nodded and said, "It's their family... Now they are married to the fourth wife again. Tomorrow is the day, and my second brother Zhou is about to have a wedding banquet."
Chenzhou was not very easy to inquire about Shen Rui because of Sun's family. Now when he heard the master of the Zongfang mentioned the "Fourth Room", he asked: "Is this the master of the Fourth Room re-string, or is it a concubine's son. Get a wife?"
The master of Zongfang said twice, "Haha": "It's Chen Yuan's marriage."
Although Chen Zhou had never met Chen Juren, he knew that he was not good to Sun's mother and son, Chen Zhou became disgusted with it.
He smiled faintly and said, "It's better to be a coincidence than to have a good time. I'll come with my brother to ask for wine tomorrow."
In the fourth room of the Shen family, He Wuniang's dowry was sent over, and Chen Juren's smile became even stronger. Chen Jin followed behind Shen Juren and felt very uncomfortable when he looked at the lively scene in front of him.
At the end of February, the academic government arrived in Songjiang Prefecture. Chen Jin took a first exam, but went to Nanjing to prepare for the provincial examination.
But because of the matter of Chen Juren's re-stringing, Chen Jin was not easy to leave easily. Otherwise, outsiders would think that he was not happy about his stepmother entering the door before he avoided it.
Chen Jin has no disgust for coming in to He Wuniang tomorrow, but he still has some pity. His father is not a sympathetic person.
There is also a grandmother who likes to cause trouble. It is not easy to be a mistress in the fourth house.
Juren Chen was happy when he saw the dowry. Even if the dowry list clearly listed the word "The property he accompanied" was only conveyed to He Wu Niang's parents and children, it did not affect his good mood...
Shenjiafang, back street.
Chen Yan helped Bai into the carriage, looked back at the house that had been staying in for several years, and got on the carriage behind him.
In addition to the two carriages with people, there are also two carriages with boxes.
These carriages were borrowed by Chen Yan from the Master of the Zongfang.
It’s not that he was stingy and wanted to save money on hiring a carriage. It was because Songjiang was not close to Nanjing. He was worried about hiring people outside, so he begged the master of the Zongfang once with a strong face.
The master of the Zongfang agreed happily, but did not mention that the second wife and the second wife were about to arrive in Songjiang.
The Chen Yan brothers had no idea, so they got into a mistake this day.
On the day when the second wife and the second master arrived in Songjiang, Chen Yan's brothers left Songjiang with his mother...
