After hearing Shen Rui's words, Dong Xi hesitated for a moment: "Second brother, is it okay to be so generous?"
Shen Rui said: "There is nothing wrong. It seems like we think too much, everything will be decided by the aunt."
Dong Xi responded, and Liu Ya took a careful look and said, "Second brother, I should spit on her just now..."
Shen Rui thought of Chen Jue and said, "Wait a minute, you go to the front living room and see if someone there is a slow treatment for Brother Jue."
Chen Jue's place is different from Shen Rui's place. Shen Rui has Liu Ya brought by Songjiang, Dong Xi, Chunyan in front of his eldest wife, and another maid who came out of the third wife's yard.
Although there were four maids in Chen Jue's place, the eldest wife couldn't arrange her own staff there, and the second wife couldn't arrange her. Xu just promoted a few maids from everywhere.
Although Chen Jue's temper doesn't seem to be angry, he is now not embarrassed, and he is inevitably uncomfortable.
After Shen Rui ordered Liu Ya, he saw that the time was almost over, so he took two notes to the third room.
The third master did not say that today's holiday was on, so this lesson was still something to be learned.
In class, Chen Qin and Chen Bao had arrived and were talking together.
When they saw Shen Rui, both of them stopped talking.
Yesterday was the third master's rest, and the two went out early in the morning. Chen Bao had a cousin who was a candidate. He came to Beijing to take the imperial examination a few years ago. After failing, he did not return home. He directly looked for a job at the Songjiang Guild Hall. , leave it for the next subject.
Chen Bao took Chen Qin to Songjiang Guild Hall yesterday.
Unexpectedly, when they returned to Chen House, they had great news.
The eldest master is promoted, and the third master is about to add a child.
Although the two of them did not go to Jiuruju to find Shen Rui, they had already verified with Chen Jue.
"Double happiness is coming, should I treat you here as a guest and serve you with wine?" Chen Qin greeted Shen Rui and said with a little excitement.
Shen Rui shook his head and said, "The wine for the third uncle here must be waiting for the "washing third or full moon" at the earliest. The wine for the eldest uncle's promotion is not over yet, and it is not easy to promote at this time."
Chen Qin loved the most lively, and she couldn't help but feel disappointed when she heard this: "Isn't you just not sing a drink anymore? I thought it would be lively for two days..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone say, "Set wine? What wine should I do?"
It's Master Three who is here.
His eyes were a little blue at the moment, but his eyes were burning and his spirit was full of energy.
All three little ones got up.
Chen Qin bowed and said, "I came back late last night and haven't congratulated my third uncle yet."
Although he was officially appointed as the third master, his name was still based on the previous title.
Chen Bao also followed behind to congratulate him.
"Do you all know?" The third master was in a good mood and said with his lips: "This little guy, I have been waiting for you with your third aunt for many years, but I didn't make any noise. Later, I didn't dare to count on you anymore. But Shanshan Coming late
Although the child is only two months old, I don’t know whether it is a man or a woman, the third master’s heart is already soft.
He looked at Chen Qin, then looked at Chen Bao, revealing a little disgusted, and finally his eyes fell on Shen Rui: "Brother Rui is fine in the future, let's go around your third aunt..."
Shen Rui was amused and cried, and Chen Qin and Chen Bao were both embarrassed.
Chen Qin said helplessly: "Uncle San, it's not that I don't want to be fat..."
The third master snorted a little and said, "Anyway, before your brother and sister land, you will get fat... If this bamboo-like figure scares your younger brother and sister, Uncle San will not forgive you."
Chen Qin was so upset that he was tall and thin as a child. He had never been fat. What should I do this time?
Chen Bao was beside him, Ben smiled secretly, but the third master looked at him.
The third master patted his honest shoulder and said, "Brother Bao can't run away... From now on, the time you practice calligraphy every day will be reduced by half an hour, and you will practice horse stance for half an hour."
Chen Bao couldn't laugh this time.
At this moment, Chen Jue came, his face was a little stiff.
The third master was stunned when he saw this and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Jue?"
Chen Jue shook his head and said, "It's nothing..."
He didn't want to say it, and the third master didn't ask much, so he started to talk to everyone about the Four Books.
Half an hour and a quarter of an hour rest, two bars are a big festival. Because the third master should not be too tired, it is usually a big class in the morning and a big class in the afternoon. I have left time to let the clan brothers themselves read
In addition to explaining new homework, Master San also collected the homework left the day before yesterday and corrected it for everyone when they were memorizing it.
At this time, the first thing to do is to memorize and explain it in a comprehensive way.
All the talks about the Four Books and Five Classics, but the difficulty is increasing layer by layer.
What the third master explained to everyone is more profound than what Master said in the Songjiang Nation.
Songjiang Nationality School and Xia Yun class are designed to meet the boy test, targeting the county test and the government test. However, the third master here aims at the college test. When teaching, he pays more attention to the current texts and some of them take the exam. Tips.
Why are there endless scholars and scholars in the family of scholars in the school? In addition to their childhood study, they are the test-taking experiences passed down from generation to generation.
After today's two classes, the third master saw that Chen Jue's emotions had calmed down, so he didn't ask again. He just asked Shen Rui to follow him when he left, whispered a few instructions, and went back to the backyard to accompany the third wife. .
Chen Jue was nothing different next, and Shen Rui was not good at Shen Qin, so Chen Bao asked what he asked.
Thinking about what Liu Ya heard this morning, it is probably the reason for Chen Jue's place.
By noon, everyone came out of class, and Shen Rui called Chen Jue to Jiuruju.
After returning, he did not persuade Chen Jue and asked Dong Xi directly: "What do you mean by aunt?"
Dong Xi replied: "The eldest wife said that this kind of servants who are prone to trouble cannot be kept. The whole family will be sold out... but they are the second wife's dowry, and their body is not in the hands of the eldest wife, so the eldest wife lets people tie them up. The second wife said it was a sale or to be sent to the farm to let the second wife deal with it..."
Shen Rui said curiously: "How did the second wife deal with it?"
The second wife seemed soft and weak, but she didn't look like a sensible person.
Whether this was said from the second room or the servant woman muttered herself, it touched the bottom line of the eldest wife.
Everything will be prosperous when a family is harmonious. The heirs need to be careful before the heirs. The heirs are not like this before the heirs?
Without blood ties, it is even more difficult to get along with each other.
Dong Xi curled her lips and said, "The second wife sent someone to send them to the village..."
"Second wife, is she apologizing to the eldest aunt?" Shen Rui thought for a while and asked.
Dong Xi shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of this..."
Chen Jue was confused when he heard it next to him. After a while, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Shen Rui and said, "Brother Rui, have you complained?"
Shen Rui nodded and said, "My uncle is the mistress of the family. Isn't this servant who dares to talk to the master just in accordance with the constraints of my uncle? We can't teach this lesson by ourselves, and teach this lesson."
Seeing his righteous appearance, Chen Jue couldn't help but hesitate: "Will this seem to be a big deal? We are now, after all, we live..."
Shen Rui said: "Even if you live in a guest house, you are not here to get angry... What are Brother Jue worried about? We are still young, and what are we going to do? Are you just the elders taking the initiative? Or do you believe the nonsense of those servants?"
Chen Jue's face turned red and said, "Who is worried... I just don't want to be troublesome... Otherwise, if it is reported to the outside, I don't know what others will think..."
Shen Rui snorted and said, "What do you care about others? Brother Jue I know is not a timid and timid bun... Some need to bear the qi, while others cannot bear the qi..."
Chen Jue scratched his head: "I just feel a little depressed. It would be great if Aunt San got pregnant early..." The words were full of loneliness.
Obviously, he also knew in his heart that the second wife had to be so troubled that it was not something that the third wife could change when she was pregnant; but if the third wife got pregnant before choosing the heir, the second wife would not have chosen the heir. This haste can be said to be a different pattern.
"Uncle San was still worried about you just now, so don't think about it... We will go to see my uncle later. We will go out of the city to pay homage tomorrow, and we will just relax." Shen Rui said.
He could understand Chen Jue's depression, and he also knew that Chen Jue's depression had nowhere to vent.
Compared with Chen Quan and his brother and sister-in-law's close relationship, Chen Jue's relationship with his elder brother and sister-in-law's family is too polite and unfair, but only face-saving.
Chen Jue heard this and hesitated: "Brother Rui, is this good? We'll go out just now."
Shen Rui said: "There is nothing wrong. The day when my grandfather sacrifices for his life is the next day. It's okay for us to pass one day in advance. I heard that there is a sacrifice farm there and a yard where we can stay. We can stay for a few days."
Chen Jue was a little excited and said with his eyes: "Brother Rui didn't say it earlier? Let's call Brother Qin, Brother Bao, go together... Seeing that Uncle San was so happy that he couldn't find Bei's appearance, I can't teach us with peace of mind for a few days..."
Shen Rui thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, then go and ask the two brothers first... If they are happy to go, let's ask my uncle to arrange the staff..."
After the two of them had lunch, they went to find Chen Qin and Chen Bao, and they naturally had no objection and urged Shen Rui to report to Xu immediately.
After entering the Xu yard, Shen Rui's mind became clear and he felt a little regretful.
He should have calmed down alone and come back.
It took more than three months before Xu mentioned the memorial service to the temple. However, the words he said to the public to burn incense in the temple must have hidden information.
I was so stupid that I just thought it was going out of the city to make spring, and I had to bring my brothers with me. Not only did I say that I was unstable, I would even cause trouble for the Xu family.
Main courtyard, upper room.
Xu's face was as cold as frost, but the old man who was replying below was a job in Chen Jue's yard.
It turned out that after the incident in Jiuru Courtyard, Xu was worried about Chen Jue's successor, and then he learned that there were also gossips in the living courtyard. This time, it was not the second wife's companion room, but the family gave birth to a child.
"I have long been ruled that I am not allowed to talk about right and wrong. Someone knowingly violated it." Xu was angry and immediately ordered Zhou's mother to say, "I have detained all the people in their family, and then called him to take him away... Although there is something wrong with it, I have no choice but to do so. , Don’t want to separate your flesh and blood…”
Mother Zhou went in response, and the old ladies and maids standing next to her were silent.
Even though the eldest wife did not say something that made people respect Shen Rui and Chen Jue, through this matter, I am afraid that no one will dare to be careful again...
