Chen Qin was revealed and laughed twice and stopped talking.
Chen Bao said to Shen Rui: "Before I had time to congratulate Brother Rui, Brother Rui is so amazing. He passed the boy test last year. Brother Qin and I also participated in the college exam this year, but they are not on the list. Among the clan brothers , this year, only one of Quan San Ge is on the list..."
Even though he said this, he was not very depressed.
There are many scholars in Nanzhili, and it is not easy to take the imperial examination. Even the famous talented scholars and scholars have failed. The brothers of their clan are here, so it is nothing to lose the first and twice.
"It's also up to luck. Those who ended the examination in the Real Energy Academy have all the ink in their stomachs, and the rest depends on luck... Brother Jue prepared enough this year, but he had to wait for a few questions from the examiner to give. One subject.” Shen Rui said.
Chen Bao nodded and said, "Brother Quan San said the same thing. Fortunately, Brother Quan San has good luck this year and has passed the hospital examination smoothly..."
Hearing them mention the imperial examination, Chen Qin couldn't help but say, "If you want to talk about luck, who can compare with Chen Yan? Chen? I never thought that the two brothers are now juren and the other are scholars... The village examination two years ago At that time, there were five or six uncles and brothers who ended up in the tribe, but they failed. Instead, Chen Yan was on the list with glory and glory... When he passed the juren at the age of 19, he was proud of his youth when he was talking about it. Chen, I passed the boy test last year and was only sixteen. If I came back to Songjiang, it would be very popular. In other words, the uncle of the second wife is now in a high position and the elders of the clan dare not cause trouble. They are not the same as the ones who want them to return to their hometown. indivual… …"
Chen Bao gave Chen Qin a blank look and said, "Brother Rui is in front of me, Brother Qin is worth envious of others? Brother Rui is only fourteen last year."
Chen Qin looked straight at Shen Rui for a while and sighed, "If Brother Bao hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten this again. Brother Rui now looks taller than me. Standing here, he said it was seventeen, and someone believed it. , I really forgot his age."
When Shen Rui heard this, he couldn't help laughing, touched his face and said, "I... am I a little anxious?
Chen Qin nodded and shook her head again: "It's not about the appearance, it's just this kind of demeanor. When I came back two years ago, the gap was not that big. Now I haven't seen each other for two years, and Brother Rui has no childishness..."
Chen Bao said: "Brother Rui has already achieved fame and fortune, and he has also taken the word ", so he is not a child."
As the few people were talking, they saw one approaching.
It’s Chen Jin coming.
The few left in front of me are all close to Shen Rui, so I naturally dislike Chen Jin.
But Chen Jin is here, is he a clan brother? Are you pushing me? I push you and stand up reluctantly and say hello: "Brother Jin"
Shen Rui also stood up with everyone.
Chen Jin nodded to everyone, and said with a little embarrassed look: "I have something to do with Brother Xun Rui, I have disturbed you..."
No one answered, and there was some dismal situation on the scene.
Chen Jin looked a little sad and looked at Shen Rui.
Shen Rui said to everyone: "Dear brothers, let's talk first, Brother Jin and I will go out for a walk."
Of course, everyone had no objection, so Shen Rui walked out with Chen Jin.
"The funeral of the clan leader is about to come. Do you still have to live in the clan house all the time? It's Mid-Autumn Festival?" Chen Jin asked directly.
Shen Rui shook his head and said, "I want to stay at Aunt Hong's side for a few days. Tomorrow, I will go to the same clan's master and said that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will go north with Brother Quan San."
Chen Jin hesitated for a moment: "Where is my mother's offering sacrifices?"
"I also want to find Brother Jin to talk about this matter, and I want to arrange it before the Mid-Autumn Festival." Shen Rui said.
Chen Jin nodded and said, "My second brother Rui has set a date and sent someone to tell me, I will accompany my second brother Rui.
Although Chen Jin wanted to take Shen Rui back to the fourth room for two days to reunite, he could only rest when he thought of Zhang Lao'an.
Five bedrooms and four bedrooms live next to each other. When Shen Rui went to Five bedrooms, it was cheaper for him to visit him.
Shen Rui also thought of Zhang Lao'an and said, "Looking at Lao'an, I can't live without people. Brother Jin will need to go to Nanjing to take the provincial examination next year. How to place him?"
Although there are many servants in the four rooms, there is no reason why the paralyzed grandmother takes the exam alone. If that happens, Chen Jin's virtue will be questioned.
Chen Jin smiled bitterly and said, "I once wrote to my father to ask about this. My father said that he had his own arrangements at that time, but he lost the following. Now that I have a year left, I can't ask too much."
Looking at Chen Jin's face was exhausted and thinking about his situation, Shen Rui said: "The most important thing at the moment is the provincial examination, and the others can be left behind. If you are distracted by the other person and delayed the exam, it will be more than worth the loss."
No matter how the elders of the fourth room were trying, let Chen Jin get fame first. No matter how they were trying, Chen Jin was still standing in front of him. Otherwise, looking at Chen Jin's mental state, the spiritual energy would be dispersed for a few years. .
This is also another interpretation of "Doing fellow Taoists will not die". After all, it is because Shen Rui is afraid of trouble.
But when it comes to Chen Jin's ears, he is full of concern.
Chen Jin was full of gratitude and nodded quickly and said, "Well, I think so too. I will definitely not be distracted in the provincial examination... I still look forward to entering Beijing as soon as possible..."
Next, there are words that are not finished.
When you enter Beijing, you can reunite with the Zheng family and his son, get along with the Shen Rui brothers, and you can support yourself from Zhang Lao'an's endless complaints and insults.
Just think about it, Chen Jin is full of hope.
Not far away, Chen Qin was pulling Chen Bao, paying attention to Shen Rui's side.
He couldn't stand Chen Jin and was afraid that Shen Rui would be bullied, so he pulled Chen Bao to follow him and heard the conversation between the two brothers.
Seeing that the two brothers could not fight, Chen Qin felt boring and pulled Chen Bao away.
Chen Qin whispered: "It's still Brother Rui's kindness. Why should you think about such a person?"
Chen Bao said a fair word: "Brother Jin couldn't make the decision about the past, but he just went with the flow and had already suffered."
Everyone has a scale in their hearts. Although Chen Jin has now obtained the inheritance of his mother and has become a registered legitimate son, no one in the clan knows his background. Even though he thought that although he was born in a vassal, he still studied hard, and now he is probably good at it. I think he was traitor in his heart back then.
It seems to be "both fame and fortune", but it is a "mirage", otherwise it would not be criticized when talking about kissing.
Chen Qin sneered, "This is God's eyes... If he is so glorious, where can he make sense? Now he looks innocent, would he be really innocent? If I were Brother Rui , so he would not be so kind to advise him to be the most important thing in the imperial examination, and he would not curse him every day and would be better off if he failed the exam."
Chen Bao hurriedly said, "Everyone has difficulties, it's not easy to say. Brother Rui is not annoyed. Brother Qin is angry with Bai? Brother Rui is now in Beijing, isn't much better than in the fourth room? Since that's the case It's not interesting to pursue the past."
"It's better to be rewarded with good and evil, otherwise God asked us to be good people or evil people?" Chen Qin snorted softly: "If we are evil people, we will not bear it; if we are good people, we are afraid that good people will not be able to do so." Good rewards are not embarrassing people? Chen Jin and the third uncle like him are all chewing the blood of his relatives and calling for injustice to innocent people..."
Chen Bao was silent for a while and said, "Others are others, we should act according to our conscience...
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day everyone followed the funeral team back to the city, and they all dispersed.
Chen and Chen Quan brothers did not leave. Following Shen Rui, Chen Jue arrived at the sect room and reported to the master of the sect room that he wanted to pick up Shen Rui, and Chen Jue went to live there for a while.
Shen Rui had already followed Master Zongfang to tell him first, but Master Zongfang did not stop him, not only Shen Rui, but also Chen Jue.
After the funeral of the clan chief, the clan house was a long period of mourning. Shen Rui and Chen Jue continued here, which would be somewhat unfair.
The fifth house is not an outsider. If you really want to get close, Shen Rui will be closer to the other side. As for Chen Jue, after all, he has already succeeded. The clan leader’s grandfather has finished his funeral, so he will be ready to go back to Beijing with his cousin Shen Rui. It would be unreasonable to stay in the clan’s house to keep mourning.
"The great master left memorial for Brother Jue, let's move it over today..." The master of Zongfang took out a bunch of keys from his close pocket, looked at Chen Jue in a daze, and handed it to Shen Rui: "Brother Rui is brother, brother , I'll ask Brother Rui to help me collect it."
There are already words that "the elders give it, and you must not refuse", let alone the current "bequest" by the clan leader, so Shen Rui naturally took it with both hands.
The second master of the Zongfang, the third brother and the fourth brother are all here, and the sinking machinery and sinking are also here.
Seeing Shen Rui take the key, the third and fourth brothers were a little anxious. It was not a key, but a bunch of keys, a key and a box, and there were only five or six boxes.
They are all grandsons, so unfair? Except for Changsun Chen Ji who got two boxes bequeathed, the others were just one box one. How many times did it take to Chen Jue to get?
Before the fourth brother could look at the third brother, the third brother was about to get up, but the second master of the sect room stared at him and shrank back.
Looking at the string of keys, he couldn't help but frown, and his deep expression was a little stiff.
Even if it is the best relatives, their wealth can touch people's hearts.
The property industry in the clan is quite expensive, but the big one is to sacrifice fields and property, and only the clan lineage is passed down. The second master separated from his family back then, but he got two farms and one shop, and lived a medium-sized family. Similarly, even if he had a long time, After the house is divided, the industries that can be destroyed will be limited.
They stared at the gifts from the patriarch, partly because of money, partly because of the unfairness in their hearts
What the second master thought was that he was the eldest son of the eldest son and his grandson was the eldest son's grandson. Even if the eldest son was biased towards the eldest son, he should think that living in the second house was not easy, so he would only pay one or two yuan.
Chen is because he has been by his father and grandfather for many years, taking care of common affairs and serving relatives. Even if he does not ask his relatives to favor him, he should treat his eldest grandson and younger grandson equally.
Shen Rui held the key and naturally noticed the undercurrent in the hall.
However, since it was the thing that the clan leader pointed out to Chen Jue, it was Chen Jue’s, even if there were people in the sect room, they would not be able to take it back.
At this moment, the master of the Zongfang had already ordered someone to carry the boxes. They were all three feet long, two feet wide, and two feet tall, with six pieces of rosewood boxes. They all looked like they were of age, all yellow. Copper lock.
Chen Jue didn't look at the box, but just stared at the master of the sect room blankly, with a blank expression full of admiration that was too long to be longed for.
Looking at such a young son, Master Zongfang felt that his heart was about to be broken.
But he was not a fool, and he knew the gossip that he had given birth to for the "bequest" of the patriarch's great master. He hated the short-sightedness of the second master and his nephews, and felt sorry for his young son.
If the youngest son had not succeeded, even if the clan leader was biased towards his grandson and gave all his private houses to Chen Jue, others would not be able to say anything. Now they can be picked on by their relatives, but they are caught with the six words "injust reputation and dissatisfaction" Forget it.
It's a pity that the second house heirs relative to the elders, and he still cares about the kindness of his flesh and blood, and does not stop Chen Jue from walking and getting close to him; in the next few boxes that he didn't know what they had, he would treat his flesh and blood as an outsider. .
The master of the Zongfang was angry and annoyed, but he couldn't watch the lifelong gap in order to suspect his flesh and blood.
Therefore, the master of Zongfang said, "Brother Rui, open the box so that we children and grandchildren will see the thoughts left by the great master again..."
The second master of Zongfang, the third brother, the fourth brother and others all looked at Shen Rui when they heard this.
Shen Rui couldn't help frowning, and did not answer, but looked at Chen Jue. Even though he was a junior, the key was now in his hands. If Chen Jue didn't want to, no one could open a box in front of him.
Chen Jue realized it and finally noticed several boxes in the living room.
He stood up "quickly", walked to the box, rubbed it, and murmured: "This... this is the box in the west room of the great master..."
He has been kept in the yard of the clan leader since he was a child, and he is naturally familiar with the objects in his grandfather's house.
Third brother, fourth brother couldn't help but shiny when he heard this, and hesitated a little more?
Since it is the box in the Grand Master’s house, it is a good thing to hold. Is it really cheaper for Chen Jue?
The fist in Shen's sleeves was clenched tightly, and I couldn't calm down. Zong Fang became an official and would not return to Songjiang before resignation. Zong Fang's future successor to the clan leader may not be the one who was a member of the clan, but he might not be the one who was a member of the clan.
Is the clan leader really confused? He can't see this, and he only cares about his successor's grandson?
As the eldest son, the second son of the eldest son, he couldn't make much property, and even the elders of Fucai didn't think of themselves?
Since the clan real estate industry is a heavy weapon in the future, what is it that he has been working hard for more than ten years? Do you really have to work hard and work hard for three houses, and finally leave the house for half a lifetime?
Chen Jue could no longer stop tears, and he fell down, kneeling in front of a box, touching the lock on it.
The master of the Zongfang was so distressed that he saw that Shen Rui had no reaction, and he quickly coughed and said, "Brother Rui, the key?
Chen Jue also looked over when he heard this.
Although Shen Rui was not happy with the "pre-inspection" atmosphere of the sect room in the hall, he saw that the master of the sect room spoke twice, but he still stepped forward and handed the key to Chen Jue.
Even if the others in the Zongfang think that Chen Jue is not good, the eldest son of the Zongfang will never cheat his son.
Chen Jue took the key, and his hands were trembling because he was too excited. It took him a while before he opened the key of the first box.
Even though they pretended to be calm on their faces, the Zongfang still stretched their necks at the same time. Even Chen Qi, the two Chen Quan brothers, were looking at the box with curiosity.
Looking at the things in the box, Chen Jue suddenly crawled on the box and choked and said, "Grandmaster, Great Madam."
Shen Ruiyin just came over to hand over the keys, stood two steps away, looking real, and couldn't help but be stunned...
