When Chen Li came back from the Hanlin Courtyard, he saw the housekeeper step forward and said, "Master, someone is coming from Songjiang. It is Master Ling Er and Master Zhu Jiu from the third house. I ask to see Master, but I am now placed in the living yard by my wife."
It was not surprising that the clan relatives fled to him instead of going to the second and fifth rooms.
Since Shen Ji left Beijing and Chen Cang left, the highest official position among the people in the Beijing people is two thousand miles away from the capital. Songjiang is not allowed to send someone to Beijing if there is nothing to do. If there is something to do, they will naturally find someone who can speak.
Chen Li was not in a hurry to see the guests, so he went back to the inner courtyard to change his clothes and asked his wife, "What is it, can you ask?"
Xie said: "I am not familiar with the two uncles. They did not mention it on their own initiative, nor did I ask questions. However, since the cousins of the three houses came over, there was no one else. They should have met them from the three houses. What's the difficulty
Chen Li frowned when he heard this. He was not very close to the Songjiang tribe, but he was a child of the Shen family and knew a lot about the people in each house. Among the nine houses of Shen, except for the smoky and smoky houses where he was. Outside, the three-bedroom apartment is not very good.
The old man from the third house is a fool, with the longest generation in the clan, but he only likes to rely on his elders and always likes to take advantage of others and supplement his own children and grandchildren. He cannot treat his grandchildren equally, but only favors his elders. The master of Hu’s family claimed to be a scholar, but he didn’t even pass the exam. He only spent money to get a supervisor. He spent all day long, recited poetry and painted, and put on the face of a scholar, and made up all the money to eat, drink, and chew. It's hard to travel with a few younger brothers.
It would be strange if two family members were here, the third room could be cured.
This wasn't the family that was divided just two years ago. Master Hu Da was thick-skinned and not noble, and he occupied a large part of his family's property and almost left the house with his three younger brothers. If it weren't for the ancestral house coming out in the end, he would probably have gone to the court. Divide
"Isn't Shen Ling in Nanjing? Even Shen Ling called me. What's the matter?" Although Chen Li didn't like the third room, he was also confused, but he sighed for Chen Zhou. If anyone else had known the clan relatives, he knew that he was a clan relative. If you have something to go to Beijing, wouldn’t you be sent to Beijing to deliver a letter in advance? After all, the relatives and relatives are also divided into different distances. You often use more ventilation in these few rooms in the capital. Chen Zhou has worked twice in the Hanlin Courtyard. After more than ten years of hard work, his knowledge is one of the best, but this is really uneasy to deal with.
After changing into homely clothes, Chen Li asked someone to go to the guest room to invite Shen Ling and Chen Zhu brothers to come and talk.
Shen Ling was fine. Last year, she went to Beijing with Chenzhou and saw Chen Li. Chen Zhu was a little helpless in front of Shen Li.
Although Chen Li was calm and greeted the two of them, Chen Zhu felt guilty and remembered the past when he came to Beijing in the twelfth month of the 13th year of Hongzhi. Chen Jue lived a short life and had passed away, but Shen Rui and Chen Quan were always in Beijing. If you don’t like him, will you slander yourself in front of Li Shen?
Chen Li did not have a good impression of Chen Zhu because of his vicious behavior. However, when he saw Chen Zhu, he was also surprised. Chen Zhu and Chen Jin, Chen Quan and Geng, are twenty-two years old this year, which is the prime of his life. In the early years, when I saw these brothers, they were all bright and bright, but now they are very different. Their appearance is born from the heart, and the sunken beads are blue and dark. In addition to the fatigue of the long journey, there are also traces of indulgence.
From Songjiang to Beijing, but on the way, I thought that Xie had just said that the third house son was so cute that he brought maids when he went out. Chen Li felt a little confused, and the little concern for the Sanfang tribe in his heart also disappeared. It is not a big deal to be anxious to sleep with a woman.
Chen Li didn't ask for the purpose of coming, but Chen Zhu's face was anxious, but he didn't dare to interrupt casually, so he just prayed to look at Shen Ling.
Shen Ling's scalp was numb when she was staring. Although she was reluctant, she had no choice. After all, she was a grandson of the third house. She could not see that the third house was bullied, otherwise there would be one or two, so she would be in trouble at any time.
"Brother of the Sixth Clan, this time my younger brother went to Beijing with his ninth brother. He was ordered by his uncle to ask for help from his clan brother." Shen Ling stood up and bowed, "This is a housework for the three-bedroom house, so I should not have to worry about my sixth Clan brother." I was worried, but it involved the He family. Now the He family is in Songjiang, and even if the uncle in the clan family spoke, it did not ease the He family. It was impossible. The uncle and his clan brother sent the ninth brother to Beijing for help."
It's not a rare thing to say, it's just an industrial dispute. Since the three houses split, the second master and others have their own business methods, going to Guangzhou to Guangzhou and Xiaquanzhou to Xiaquanzhou, each showing its magical powers, and life is getting better. .The Master Hu Da is very arrogant and cannot see his brothers' hard work. He only sees the wealth of money, so he also starts to do business.
Making cloth from Songjiang, selling cloth outside has always been a means of money. Master Hu wanted to sell cloth, but there was no channel. He happened to have some friendship with Master He Er. Knowing that he was selling cloth in Shanxi, he "soft and hard to get it." "I want to get a share. The first time, Shunshun Dangdang, Master Hu Da distributed the dividend; when the second time, Master Hu Da was greedy and refused to make a small fuss, he insisted on taking more shares, and he took out the The silver had a clear idea, so he pledged several of the shops and the farm in the Hejia Money House and brought the silver to the shares. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper who was hired by Master Hu to suppress the goods encountered an official dispute in Shanxi, and he slacked off the money for the goods and fled privately. Master Hu Da lost all his money and owed the He family a lot of money.
When the He family took the pledge form to collect the property, Master Hu Da refused to accept it and only said that Master He Er set up a plan to infringe on the property.
Master He Er naturally refused to accept it. Master Hu asked for the clan house, but the words were written in black and white. The one who donated the money was his own in-laws, so he could not blame the He family for not being on the head.
The lost payment, plus the money owed by the bank, is tens of thousands of taels. If it is paid off, Master Hu will lose all his money. Master Hu naturally refused and yelled to sue the He family, but he didn't dare. Really go to court.
Master He Er was impatiently arguing with the third house, so he resold the deed and land deeds in his hand to Chen Yuan, the fourth house. Although Chen Yuan was in Yangzhou, he sent his housekeeper back to Songjiang to collect debts, and he saw that he became a confused account.
Now there is a lot of rumor in Songjiang, and everyone is waiting to see the Shen family jokes.
It is not the first time that the Shen family has troubled their own people. There was once when Sun died in the tenth year of Hongzhi. Finally, under the pressure of the clan leader, the family returned to their property, and finally there was a rift between the clan relatives.
Now that the clan leader is dead, the master of the Zongfang family wants to impeach the matter, but he is powerless to do anything, so he can only inform the capital. First, the He family is not in good intentions, and they are obviously designing the Shen family, and want to disrupt the civil strife of the Shen family. It is good to suppress the Shen family; secondly, Chen Yuan is inappropriate in his actions and forced his tribe with outsiders. He only relies on his eldest son Chen Jin, who has a good future. This matter also needs to be informed of Chen Jin.
"It's the He family again? Why are you focusing on the industries under the Shen family?" Chen Li was furious when he heard this: "A minister who relies on the support is so arrogant, it's too rampant."
As for Chen Yuan, Mr. He Er and Mr. Hu Da’s previous accounts, Chen Li was not worried. Mr. He Er said that he would “resell” the house deeds and land deeds, and most of them were just saying that as long as the four-family real estate industry is Sun’s wedding In the name of Shen Jin and Shen Rui, Chen Yuan had limited money in his hands, but he was just told by the He family to come out as a gun to force his debts.
Before Sun's marriage, Chen Li had seen the greed of the He family. When Chen Cang was there, the He family was honest. Now that Chen Cang's body is not cold, the He family dares to take action. Could it be that the Shen family Are the others dead?
Shen Ling hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that the He family wants to marry Li Ge's hometown, and the He family's Dalang wants to marry Li Ge's eldest granddaughter..."
"Huh?" Chen Li said in surprise: "Marrying with the Li family? Is this what the He family said? What is going on? Let's talk about it carefully?"
Shen Ling has not been in Songjiang for the past two years and has no idea of the details, so she looked at Chen Zhu.
Chen Zhu said worriedly: "It was Mrs. He and Uncle Hai who said that Mr. Li had fallen in love with the Dalang of the He family and was waiting for Miss Sun and the Hailang of the Li family, and the two families made an official decision."
It is just a He family, and the Shen family may not be afraid to contact relatives, but it is not something that the Shen family can handle when they fill the palace.
This is also the reason why Master Zongfang and Master Hu both thought of Shen Shu. At this time, the only one who can help the Shen family is Shen Shu.
Chen Li sneered and said, "It's such a daydream, but how can a student from the Imperial College match the Li family's wife?"
Chen Zhu was overjoyed when she heard this and asked, "Brother of the Sixth Clan, is it the He family who said it? Is this marriage really impossible?
Shen Ling looked at Chen Li with great enthusiasm.
In the final analysis, the three cabinet masters are in charge of the government affairs, and they are afraid of their power from the court to the local government. Just take this matter. If the He family really leaned against the elder's mansion, the three cabinet members would have to spend all their money and pay the money; even if there is a dilemma The relationship with Mr. Xie is of great importance, but why should the Xie family raise their attention for their son-in-law's tribe?
If the He family was not a Li family in-law and had no support from the Li family, then even if the Shen family was weak after Shen Cang left, if others were there, they would be evenly matched.
Chen Li remembered Chen Jin's affairs and did not feel happy, but felt disgusted.
I thought it was Mr. Li who loved talent and chose Chen Jin as his grandson-in-law, but listening to the He family's intentions, he had an oral engagement with the He family. This is because he saw that the new top scorer had not been engaged, and he was a better candidate. I gave up the He family. Although this is a high-profile Shen family, this utilitarianism is also unhappy.
Thinking of this, Chen Li sneered: "I'm afraid Mr. Li is so confused about his grandson-in-law. Even though he used to be interested in the He family, he wouldn't count it now."
Shen Ling said: "Brother of the Sixth Clan, but the eldest granddaughter of Li Ge's hometown has promised others?"
Chen Li nodded and shook his head again: "It's not a person. Master Li has taken a fancy to Chen Jin. Chen Jin's master is a big media player. Now he should go to the south to write."
Shen Ling and the Chen Zhu brothers looked at each other, and Shen Ling frowned, but Chen Zhu was a little weird, as if she was jealous and gloating.
Chen Li saw the strangeness and felt aroused: "What's going on? Could it be that there is something wrong with the uncle of the Fourth House clan.
Shen Ling nodded and said, "Uncle Yuan has already engaged Brother Jin. He is the daughter of Yan Baiwan, the richest man in Yangzhou... Uncle Yuan transferred the property from Mr. He Er to use the Yan family's money..."
