Shen Juren was originally thinking about Shen Jin who was going with the third son of Jiang. After hearing what Shen Rui said, he immediately became furious. What does it mean to donate all the money? Is it his final decision? "My parents don't dare to have a child. "Don't dare to keep your own wealth" is in line with the legislative doctrine. Shen Rui can't even be the master himself, how can he dispose of the property in his name?
As for what Shen Rui said about "can't grow up", he just treated it as a child's nonsense and didn't pay attention to it.
He doesn't care, but someone does.
The clan leader's face became darker and darker. The other clan members looked at Shen Rui and then at Shen Juren, wondering whether the meaning of Shen Rui's words was really due to filial piety or something else. Since ancient times, when a stepmother has a stepmother, she has It's not like Shen Juren can figure out his stepfather clearly. No one can say whether Shen Rui will grow up to be a mature person. But looking at Shen Rui's pitiful little face, most people feel that they are overthinking it. How could an older child think so far ahead? Maybe he just said this sentence because he missed his late mother.
Only Shen Li and the Fifth Fang Taiye knew the details of the Fourth Fang. Seeing Shen Rui's move, they felt that it was very meaningful. Shen Li also said that he had been dealing with Shen Rui these days and knew that he had precocious wisdom. In the eyes of the Fifth Fang Taiye , Shen Rui is still an ignorant child, and must have been taught by someone before he said such words. Such words cannot be considered. If you think about it, it means "son blames father", which is also unfilial. He thought it was Shen Li who taught him, and looked at Shen Li's There was a bit of condemnation in his eyes.
Shen Li said to Shen Rui with great satisfaction: "After all, he is the son of my aunt. His filial piety is commendable and his filial piety is pitiful! My aunt has been helping the poor in these years and has done hundreds of good deeds. She has never been stingy with money. Can you carry on my aunt's legacy?" , Determined to do good deeds, Auntie will definitely be pleased if she knows about it." Having said this, he turned to the patriarch and said, "Master, please fulfill Rui Geer's filial piety! But just to mention it, Rui Geer is already nine years old, and he has experienced How can you fail to cultivate through hard work and grinding?"
The patriarch was silent, and Shen Li said to Shen Juren again: "Auntie's private wealth has been divided into half with Uncle Yuan's eldest son, and the remaining half belongs entirely to Brother Rui. Brother Rui will make the decision. Does Uncle Yuan have any objections?" "
Shen Juren looked stiff and frowned: "At such a young age, talking about life and death lightly is a great act of unfilial piety. How can we condone it?
Shen Li said calmly: "Brother Rui is determined to be kind and has a good heart. This is a filial mother; as for donating the property, it is about posthumous matters. If Brother Rui grows up safely, it is just an empty talk; if Brother Rui grows up, he will not Big, that property does not belong to the Shen family and should be returned to the Sun family. Since the Sun family has no one left, then all these properties are donated, which is probably what my aunt wants. Even if the aunt is underground, she will do it for Brother Rui. This is a gratifying move.”
Shen Rui just mentioned that sentence "just in case" to remind Zhang Laoan that the old lady had really done something evil. Unexpectedly, the matter went off topic, and everyone changed from his "determination to do good" to Sun Yat-sen's The true ownership of the family’s dowry.
What Shen Li said was reasonable. If Shen Juren said anything again, it would show that he was interested in getting involved in his deceased wife's dowry.
Shen Juren was speechless and could only frown and look at the patriarch, hoping that the patriarch would refute Shen Li. He didn't want the patriarch to nod and say, "Brother Rui is very filial, so I just added this sentence."
Once the final word was made, there were no more words in the hall.
When Shen Li personally wrote and added this sentence to several property analysis documents, just as he was about to finish chatting, he heard someone next to him whisper: "Brothers from the six tribes, please add another sentence. I will always remember my mother's kindness, and I am willing to inherit my mother's legacy." The ambition is to do good to others; if the wealth given by the mother is paid off, one will also accumulate virtue and do good deeds. During one’s lifetime, what one does good deeds will definitely be a multiple of what one receives.”
It was Shen Jin who came back. He heard clearly what was happening at the door, so he came up and said this.
As Shen Rui said, Shen Jin's words were a bit empty. Shen Li glanced at him, but he didn't care about it. He picked up the pen and added these two sentences at the back. There was a gift from Sun in front, and this sentence fell on the paper. , No matter how Shen Jin succeeds in the future, if he treats Shen Rui poorly at all, his words of "determining to do good" will become a joke, and even the spitting stars can drown him.
What needs to be divided has been divided, what needs to be written has been written, and it’s time for everyone to leave.
The people in each room were already waiting impatiently and wanted to get up and leave. Shen Li said to Shen Juren: "After the death of his biological mother, Brother Rui was supposed to marry and observe mourning for three years, and Shen Jin should follow suit from now on. However, Brother Rui is weak and Shen Jin also wanted to respect Lao An and Uncle Yuan, so the marriage was settled. It happened that the magistrate had a lifelong acquaintance who was good at Qihuang health preservation and lived in Xilin Temple. Zhuang Gong came forward and asked this person to take care of Rui Geer's body and made an appointment. I'll send him over today. Rui Ge'er caught a cold earlier, which caused the root cause of his illness, so he may need some treatment."
Being interfered with the housework of the fourth house two and three times, Shen Ju's face turned cold, and his patience with Shen Li was over. If Shen Li had made the decision, he would have directly refuted it; but since it was the prefect's wife's idea, there were also The magistrate's favor is there. Shen Juren is ignorant of the world, and he is not stupid. How could he refuse?
He could only hold back his anger and nod his head, saying: "I'm sorry to bother you... Lord Magistrate and Mr. Gong, do you need to express your gratitude..."
Shen Li smiled lightly and said: "Although Mr. Zhuang Gong is so troubled, it is just because he cares about my aunt, but it is not surprising that there are so many people. Uncle Yuan is bereaved. Even if it is inconvenient to come to the door to express thanks, it is not necessary for someone to prepare a thank you gift. Abrupt."
The fifth master was a little worried and asked: "It's obvious that I have spoken a little. Is it appropriate or not? Although Zhuang Gongren has good intentions, if he meets someone with a false reputation, won't it delay Brother Rui's health?"
Shen Li said: "Uncle, don't worry. This person is not unknown. He is quite famous in the capital. I met my nephew before he returned home. He does have some skills. He is just a loner and doesn't ask questions easily. If I hadn't had an old relationship with Bachelor Chiang, I wouldn't have even sold the prefect's favor, so lucky Brother Rui!" At the end of the sentence, he couldn't help but sigh.
After all the clan members saw the excitement, no one cared about whether Shen Rui married a family or cultivated in a Zen monastery. They stood up and said hello to the clan leader, said goodbye to Shen Juren, and left one after another. The clan leader whispered a few words to Shen Li. , also took his two sons and left. They sent their relatives to each house and went back with everyone.
Zhang Lao'an was particularly angry. He felt that the prefect's wife was not warm enough to Shen Jin just now, and that she was putting on airs about him. In terms of dignity, she could not compare to the prefect's wife; in terms of seniority, she was the elder.
She just cursed a few words secretly, until she was confused and the prefect's wife led Shen Rui into the carriage and left with Shen Li and his wife's carriage. Fang was surprised and said: "What? Why did Mr. Zhuang bring his second brother with him?"
Shen Juren thought about the evil deeds of the Zhang family and the loss of money that needed to be paid for the four houses. He felt out of breath. How could he think about taking care of Zhang Laoan. Shen Jin was still beside him and replied: "Zhuang Gongren asked someone to take care of Rui Geer's body, and just now mother and son and the brothers from the six tribes sent Rui Geer to Xilin Temple!"
After hearing this, Mr. Zhang Laoan frowned and said: "He is in good health, so why should he find fault? Brother Jin, on the other hand, was ill a few days ago. It makes no sense to be so partial..."
Shen Juren was very upset. Hearing Zhang Laoan's chatter, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, you should settle the accounts..."
Not to mention how Shen Juren settled accounts with Uncle Zhang, Shen Rui didn't feel cramped at all while sitting in the carriage, and his heart immediately became much brighter.
Before getting on the carriage, Shen Li had already whispered that the person who was nominally recuperating his body was well-known in the capital. He was not good at Qihuang health care, but the Four Books, Five Classics, and Eight-legged Articles. In name, he was there for self-cultivation. In fact, he was there for self-cultivation. It's to learn.
From Shen Li's point of view, Shen Rui has been delayed in his studies. Taking advantage of the three years of observing filial piety, Shen Rui will pay more attention to his homework. When the period of observing filial piety is over, he will have almost caught up. When the time comes, he will enter the clan school and study for three more years. You can end it in four years.
Traveling with the magistrate's wife and his son, they just used the name of the magistrate's wife to save Shen Juren from being verbose. They were far away from the Shen family's ancestral land, and when they reached the intersection, Shen Li asked someone to stop the carriage, and the couple got off the carriage.
Shen Li walked to the carriage of the magistrate's wife and thanked the magistrate's wife again through the curtain.
The prefect's wife asked someone to open the curtain, and looked at Shen Rui getting off the carriage with a loving face, and then said to Shen Li: "Since it is your arrangement, I am not worried at all. I just care about my sister Sun, and I can't help but want to Pay more attention to Brother Rui. I will send Third Brother to visit Brother Rui from now on, so it won’t disturb Brother Rui’s studies, right?"
Shen Li shook his head and said, "How could that be? Even though I have settled down in front of my late mother's mausoleum, I will come to the Zen Temple to visit friends on the tenth day. I will just ask the Third Young Master to come over then."
The prefect's wife nodded in agreement, then took Shen Rui and gave some careful instructions before bidding farewell to Shen Li and his wife and leaving with Third Young Master Jiang.
Shen Li watched the Jiang family's carriage go away, then turned around and got on the carriage with Mr. Xie and Shen Rui.
Shen Rui was very curious. If he could be praised by Shen Li, the number one scholar, then the man from Xilin Zen Academy must have extraordinary knowledge. Didn't such a person often pass the imperial examination and be admitted to the Hanlin Academy? How could he go to Songjiang and temporarily stay there? Living in a Zen monastery? Could it be that he was a hermit scholar who was tired of his official career and left his post?
Yes, this person has an old relationship with Bachelor Chiang and has met Shen Li. Maybe he is really an old Confucian who came from the Han Dynasty.
Then Xie said: "Ms. Sir, Wang Bo'an is very talented and is tabooed by all the princes in the court. If Uncle Rui becomes his student, will it have anything to do with him in the future?"
Shen Li shook his head and said: "How can such a good thing happen? He just owed me a favor in the past, so he agreed to teach Brother Rui for a few days. Whether he can accept students or not depends on his wishes... It was also because he was too sharp when he was young. Those who are talented are afraid of him. It’s just that his knowledge is there. Can those people suppress him in one subject, two subjects, or keep suppressing him? At most, they will not be able to win the title of number one scholar."
Mr. Xie sighed and said, "It's ultimately due to lack of luck. Even my father regrets it. It would be great if both father and son were number one!"
Shen Rui was standing by and was stunned when he heard this.
The name Wang Bo'an may sound strange to others, but Shen Rui knows it. Wang Bo'an's surname is not Wang, Bo'an, but Wang, with the given name Bo'an. Not many people know his name, but when it comes to him Everyone knows his name.
Wang Bo'an was none other than Wang Shouren, the son of Yangming. He was proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and was both civil and military. He was the all-around great Confucian most highly regarded by Shen Rui's great-grandfather.
