Although He Dongsheng was overwhelmed by the threat of the third master of the Shen family, he was in the officialdom and the New Year was the time for socializing. Since Chen Run did not see him, he could only suppress his anger and go out to eat and drink to go to the banquet. As for He Pingsheng, even if he hated him to the core, he would only I can keep it well. When it is time to get a breakup with the Shen family, I have to persuade He Pingsheng to rebel.
Therefore, He Dongsheng turned a blind eye to He Wu changing the doctor's medicine in the guest room. Now, he is the one who most hopes that He Pingsheng will get better.
As for whether the new doctor would find clues in He Pingsheng, He Dongsheng was not afraid.
He Pingsheng's "failure to adapt to the environment" is true, and "hidden by the cold" is also true. It has been delayed for a long time. In addition, the medicinal materials have been deleted and reduced, and the lack of food and use is insufficient, so it will be a small recovery in a few days. The illness was delayed for more than half a month and left He Pingsheng half his life. If it weren't for the fact that the Shangyuan Festival had happened, He Pingsheng would have "died" sick.
He Dongsheng was meticulous and thoughtful about everything, but this time he didn't need to think too much. He also knew that the third master of the Shen family had such a temper, so he wouldn't be relieved if he didn't leave He Dongsheng for preparation.
It was about to reach the fifteenth day, and the third master of the Shen family had not arrived. He Dongsheng became more and more anxious and had no intention of going out to eat and drink.
Unexpectedly, he saw He Wu coming: "Brother, Chen Jin is here again, talking to Shiqi in the guest room."
These days, although He Wu asked for medical treatment and delayed medicine, he no longer confronted He Dongsheng and was relatively speechless with He Pingsheng.
He Dongsheng couldn't help but look down upon hearing this. Although he hadn't met Chen Jin in the past ten days, he knew that he had come two or three times. He brought a tonic gift every time, never empty-handed and had a good manners.
"Children Huangkou also want to get a share of the pie? You will bring him here to see me later," said He Dongsheng.
He Wu responded honestly and headed to the living yard.
In the living yard, Chen Jin looked at the stack of books on the head of He Pingsheng's bed, and couldn't help but worry. He Pingsheng's condition obviously hurt the foundation and needed a good life to take care of him for a year or two, but he was still reading the books preparing for the exam. , obviously unwilling to give up the February examination.
Chen Jin himself is a candidate for the exam, and of course he knows the expectations of the scholar who has studied hard for ten years. If he were him, he would not want to give up.
He Pingsheng also saw a stack of books and a sneer appeared on his face: "In the past, he laughed at others as weak nerds who were powerless. Today, he really reported his karma... It's inevitable that he will have to make a living."
Chen Jin sighed and said, "The future is long..."
He Pingsheng sneered: "My life as an ant is still in the mind of others. If there are those who are not in the Ming Dynasty today, how can we talk about the future?"
He Wu stood at the door, looking down at the ground, feeling that his steps were over a thousand pounds.
He could no longer deceive himself, and He Pingsheng's resentment was disdainful to cover up.
The disease comes like a mountain falling, and the disease goes like a thread being drawn.
He Pingsheng was still very weak. Chen Jin sat with him and stood up and said goodbye. He looked at him diligently, not to show his deep affection for his uncle and nephew, nor to show his merits in front of He Pingsheng. He was just afraid of He Dongsheng and did not want him to do so. All resentment was placed on Mr. Chen Cang who came forward for this matter. After all, he was the one who caused this trouble and was brought to Shen Rui in a confused manner. He couldn't just ignore it by himself.
Even though he knew that smart people should avoid them at this time, Chen Jin still came with a tough bullet just to "distribute the grievances".
When he came out, he was taken to the front hall by He Wu. When he saw He Dongsheng, Chen Jin knew that he had succeeded. He Dong's face was warm, but Chen Jin still found the coldness in his eyes.
"I've seen Master He." Chen Jin looked away and bowed.
"Without Jie Yuanlang's opinion, you are the nephew of the 17th brother. When it comes to it, you should call me uncle." He Dongsheng's expression became more and more warm. Seeing that Chen Jin was not responding, he continued: "Even if you don't call him uncle, you can do it." He called "Uncle Shi," said that I was the same year as Lingzun, and this "Uncle Shi" is also legitimate."
Chen Jin followed the advice: "Uncle Shi."
He Dongsheng was forced to make indirect comments while "haha", but Chen Jin knew the importance of it and refused to speak easily. He only acted shyly and taciturn. He said two words in ten sentences, but he couldn't answer the question correctly.
After all, He Dongsheng was a third-rank official. It was not easy to win over Chen Jin in such a condescending manner. Such a lack of oil and salt naturally made him feel cold and asked someone to order soup to see him off.
"There is no good thing in the Shen family." He Dongsheng was angry, but he had to admit that the younger generation of the Shen family was much better than the He family. There was the top scholar Chen Li before, but now there is a Jie Yuan again. The He family's legitimate children are young. Even if there are a few people who have passed the Jinshi in the side branch, they are still the same as the Jinshi in the third grade.
Standing outside the He family's gate, Chen Jin thought about He Dongsheng's angry look just now, and did not feel afraid, but felt at ease. He was so harsh and cowardly, it seemed that he was quite concerned. Even if the third master of the Shangshu Mansion came forward, he would not have been. Do you dare to think about murdering your life again?
With less than a month left before the examination, Chen Jin began to stay in the door and finally stopped for two or three days to visit the He family.
Just the day before the Lantern Festival, Chenrun’s post finally arrived late.
He Dongsheng snorted coldly, but when it was the agreed day, he still went to Chen Mansion to have a banquet as promised. In the first month of the year, he went to the wrecked family twice, so He Dongsheng could have a premonition that his life would not be smooth in the next year.
The third master had already discussed with Shen Rui and had already figured out the conditions for the negotiation. He should not only make He Dongsheng feel hurt, but also not force him to jump over the wall.
Therefore, when I saw He Dongsheng, the third master was already confident, so he refused to go around in circles with He Dongsheng, and said, "You and my family are in-laws, and my brother was also a colleague of Lord He before his death. The two families should be close to each other. In the future, He It’s better for adults to come and go."
He Dongsheng felt very upset when he heard this. What does it mean to "go often to come and go"? Now the Shen family is only a seventh-rank Zhongshu Sheren, who is the head of the family. How can he, a third-rank minister, "go often to come and go"? It falls into the eyes of others. It was like he was cursing the defeated Shen family.
He chuckled and said, "I'm busy with official duties, and I really have no time to clone it.
This was exactly what the third master said, and the third master fumbled into the teacup: "It's a pity. I can't ask He Dongsheng for advice in the future..."
He Dongsheng felt his eyelids twitching and said, "You and my family are from the villages, and they have been married for many generations. We should be watching each other and helping each other. If we encounter difficulties, Brother Chen will speak up, and I will naturally help if I can help you. .It’s just that I am just an ordinary person after all. I’m so powerful and incompetent, so I’ll forgive Brother Chen.”
These words of soft and hard work made the third master secretly amused and said casually: "I really want to trouble Lord He."
Lord He said intimately: "Here you come."
He Dongsheng served tea as a listening statement and heard the third master say, "It's just not one thing, but five things...
"Touch" He Dongsheng put down the teacup heavily and said with a cold face: "I am just an ordinary person, without three heads and six arms, I'm afraid I can't help Master Chen San. You can't be too greedy for this person, otherwise you will be incompetent.
The third master raised his eyebrows: "There are more than five things? How is this good? I thought there were two old relationships in the family, so that there would be more Lord He to carry them in the future. So how is this good?"
The third master had room for maneuver, and He Dongsheng's face was slightly relaxed. Although the sick man in front of him was a small official of the seventh rank, he was holding several in-laws behind him. If he hadn't relied on these, he wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant with himself. Negotiate conditions.
"If we talk about it, the two families are in-laws, so we will naturally prosper and be both prosperous and insult... If you really encounter something difficult, I will definitely help you." He Dongsheng said.
The third master seemed to have no patience and said, "I'll say five items, and you say one, will we continue to argue? Get it and take the one in the center. After three things, you two will not break the river."
He Dongsheng wanted to say something else, but the third master frowned and said, "If it doesn't work, forget it, I won't leave more Lord He here."
He Dongsheng could only bear it and said angrily: "What's the matter?"
The third master said: "The first thing was that Lingdi used unlucky means to invade two weaving factories under Sister Sun's name. These two weaving factories should be returned."
He Dongsheng was unhappy, but he felt relieved.
Speaking of which, the root cause of the rift between the second wife of the Shen family and the He family was in the two weaving factories back then. It would be a good thing if that could be used to solve the current dilemma.
However, he said in confusion: "I spent 50,000 taels of silver to buy the red contract, so how could I say that I would occupy it?"
The third master snorted coldly: "I won't argue with you. Whether it's a weaving factory or a silver, we can't let our Brother Rui suffer anyway. This is the first thing to do.
He Dongsheng was embarrassed for a few more words before nodding as if he had made up his mind and agreed to raise 50,000 taels of silver.
The remaining two things Mr. San said he would be adjudicated and needed He Dongsheng's help in the future.
He Dongsheng was naturally unhappy, but the third master was the dealer, so he could only be led.
When he came out of the Shen family, He Dongsheng felt his heart and flesh hurt.
Fifty thousand taels of silver and two promises are the result of the negotiation.
It would be fine if those two rooms promised something easy to handle. It would be too early to handle it early. The third master of the group thought it would be a good idea.
Although spending money can solve the problem, He Dongsheng still hopes to spend less money. He threw out 50,000 taels in vain, no one wants to.
Although the He family has many industries in Beijing, the cash bank is not as much as 50,000 taels. We must borrow it from other places first and then urge Songjiang to give the silver...
In the living room, both uncles and nephews of the Shen family were there, but the third master did not have much smile on his face.
Although villains can grasp villains, they are enough to learn from them.
The third master said with emotion: "After entering the officialdom, not only should I be careful in my words and actions, but I also have to be better than Su's relatives and family, otherwise the root of disaster will be caused..."
Shen Rui nodded and said, "I should remember what my mother taught before. When it comes time to make a decision, I should be more flexible and lose the opportunity if I procrastinate."
The third master said: "After all, think that you are upright, otherwise you will have no way to turn around if you make mistakes or make mistakes every step..."
