Four hundred and sixtieth chapters ileum nine turns (four)
After talking to Mrs. Xu, Shen Rui took Shen Jin directly to Jiuruju.
Shen Jin made a decision in her heart. She was not as impetuous as before and looked much calmer. Shen Rui hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you really want to go back? Uncle Yuan is not in Songjiang. Brother Jin is going to Yangzhou in person?"
Shen Jin nodded and said: "My father is in Yangzhou. Before worshiping his ancestors, he has to go to Yangzhou... I should also meet Mr. Yan..."
Shen Rui raised his eyebrows and said: "Brother Jin has already handed over a letter to his family and mentioned the matter of ordering the teacher to protect the matchmaker, but he has never thought of another possibility?"
Shen Jin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he woke up and started to think deeply.
Even if Shen Jin was not angry about this marriage, she never had the idea of repenting on her own initiative. This was because she could not bear the reputation of "betrayal" and "climbing for power". As long as she mentioned it, everyone knew that the Prime Minister's marriage was related to The Yan family's marriage is of great importance, but there is a sequence of things, and there are also parents' orders involved. It is not Shen Jin's turn to regret it, but what if Shen Juren himself is the one who regrets it? What if the Yan family is afraid of the power of the Prime Minister and takes the initiative to regret the marriage? Woolen cloth?
Thinking of this, Shen Jin intuitively saw a glimmer of hope in the desperate situation, but then she became a little discouraged and said: "I love face the most, so I may not be willing to change my mind; besides, even if I change my mind, if the Yan family doesn't let go, there is nothing they can do... Mr. Li Ge has always been praised for his thoughtful actions. Even if he had intended to marry the Shen family before, he would not take the initiative to participate in such a thing..."
In fact, when Shen Rui mentioned this possibility, he did not think that Shen Jin would definitely regret the marriage, but he just felt that there was no need to be so passive. Not only was the father-son relationship with Shen Juren, and now is an era of patriarchal supremacy, if Shen Jin had been passive If it goes on, it won’t just be the marriage that will be affected.
If nothing else, if Shen Yuan really regrets the marriage after knowing that the Li family intends to marry, and Shen Jin can keep his promise and continue the marriage, then the joke will become a good story, and mentioning Shen Jin among the scholars will be laughed at behind his back. He is a big fool, but he still needs to be praised as "a true gentleman" on his face.
As for marriage to help the officialdom, for Shen Jin, who already has the title of No. 1 Scholar, it is the icing on the cake, and it will not be left in the dust. Things have pros and cons. Being the grandson-in-law of the Prime Minister, while taking advantage of his power, he will also Once you hand over your position, you will never have to "win when you gain, and lose when you lose".
Although Shen Jin is ambitious, he is not an ignorant young man. He naturally knows the seriousness of it. The previous sadness was not only due to the loss of the prime minister's marriage, but the most important thing was the helplessness towards the father's power.
As for Mr. Li Ge, Shen Rui felt that he might not give up on this marriage. It would be fine if Shen Jin was an ordinary scholar and the number one scholar. Since the marriage has not been decided yet, forget it, but there is a Shen family behind Shen Jin. There is a brother who adopted the late Da Jiuqing, and there is also a brother who is the number one scholar. The eldest wife of the Li family, even though she is the eldest granddaughter of the elder, her parents are both dead. If she really wants to find someone more dignified than Shen Jin, Not an easy task.
Therefore, as long as the Shen family is willing to continue this marriage, the Li family will most likely not refuse.
Shen Rui's words made Shen Jin think of another possibility, giving rise to some hope, but also worried about being disappointed again.
Shen Rui didn't say anything more. If there was something to be mentioned, it was mentioned. If he said anything else, it seemed like he was inciting Shen Jin to be unfilial.
If it weren't for Shen Jin's bad condition, Shen Rui wouldn't have said these words. Shen Jin has come to this point, and if he still can't support four bedrooms, then no matter how anxious others are, there is nothing they can do. He has to make it on his own. stand up.
In front of Shen Ying's house, Shen Quan came out to see off the guests. The guests who came today were none other than Shen Ling, Shen Zhu's cousin. In the fifth room, not only were Shen Ying's brothers, but also Shen Hong and his wife, who were from Songjiang. Naturally, the juniors should come over to say hello.
It's just that the fifth-fang family was headed by the Guo family in the early years, and he was a rigid character. He never got along with the female family members of the third-fang family. The juniors of the second-fang family were relatively unfamiliar with each other. Only Shen Zhu and Shen Quan had a slightly closer relationship because they were classmates. However, due to what happened a few years ago, the friendship has long been broken. Now that we meet again, the two of them are no different from ordinary relatives. They are polite but not close.
On the other hand, Shen Ling, because she had a second wife, Shen Quan was much closer to him.
When Shen Zhu saw this, his face darkened. Shen Quan saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Shen Zhu was still the same Shen Zhu. He only regarded himself as a person, but others were no longer Songjiang's clan brothers who saw his glory.
When she came out of Shen Ying's house, Shen Zhu always had a droopy face and didn't even look at Shen Ling.
Shen Ling knew that her cousin had a lonely temper, so she didn't take it to heart.
Shen Zhu held back her anger and looked at her cousin's disapproval. She couldn't help complaining: "I only thought Brother Quan was a good person, but I didn't expect that he has become a snob now. Now Brother Ying has become a member of the James family." Officer, the future is going to be great, the eyes of the fifth house will grow to the top of the head, and even Brother Quan, who used to have the best temper, can only talk nonsense and not say a word of truth..."
After hearing this, Shen Ling couldn't help but frown and said, "What's wrong with Brother Quan? This is a matter between the fourth and third bedrooms, and it involves the elders of the two bedrooms. What do you want Brother Quan to say?"
Even when their cousins came to Beijing, they expected Shen Li, not Wu Fang. Now their brothers are staying at Shen Li's house, and they only come to Wu Fang to pay respects to their relatives and elders.
Shen Zhu snorted softly and said: "What are you talking about? I can see it. The fifth room outside and the fourth room inside have already been out of service. Neither the brothers from the six clans nor the fifth room have joined the third room. Otherwise, if there was such a chaos in the clan, how could they be so calm and calm..."
Shen Ling said: "The capital is thousands of miles away from Songjiang, so what if we are anxious? Besides, this is not a matter of urgency."
Shen Zhu was already feeling uncomfortable, and became even more annoyed after hearing this: "Ha? It turns out that in the eyes of second brother Ling, it is not a matter of urgency for my family to go bankrupt. Now that the family has been divided, several uncles have made their own fortunes, so what's the point? Do you care about the life and death of the eldest son? It’s not your family that Mr. He Er is plotting against. Maybe some uncles are eager to see the eldest son’s joke. Don’t forget, you are also the grandson of the third family. If the He family can plot against the eldest son, they will Can’t I let you go?”
Shen Ling stopped and looked at Shen Zhu coldly.
Shen Zhu was timid for a moment and did not dare to look directly into Shen Ling's eyes. She was not angry and raised her head to look ahead.
Although Shen Ling had a good temper, she still had a cold face: "So you know that this is the eldest son's own business. It seems that I followed him to Beijing after I had eaten enough. When the family was separated, the eldest son was Taking up 60% of the property, I didn’t think about whether the remaining three houses would have food to eat. Now that I’m in trouble, I thought, ‘Is it difficult to share? It’s better not to be too thick-skinned.’ After that, he didn’t wait. Shen Zhu reacted and walked away.
Shen Zhu was left in the same place, his face turned red.
The manager of the third room who followed him to Beijing noticed something was wrong and whispered: "Master Ninth, the second master seems to be angry, hurry up and chase after him..."
Shen Zhu frowned and said: "Let him be annoyed, why should I look at his face? He is an evil concubine who has not studied seriously for two years. He is just helping the clan elders, but he has become majestic."
Although Shen Zhu was a little flustered, he refused to lose his identity in front of the servants and returned to Shenli's house slowly. Originally, he thought that Shen Ling had always had a gentle temper, and even if she was annoyed for a moment, she would not really abandon him. No matter, I didn't want to go back to the guest room of Shen Li's house, but there was no one inside or outside. This time Shen Zhu was really panicked, restless, wanted to go out to look for someone, but didn't know where to go.
At this time, Shen Ling had arrived at Renshoufang Shangshu Mansion.
Before Shen Jin left, Shen Ling went to see Mrs. Xu and then went to Jiuruju.
Hearing that Shen Jin was going back to the province to "sacrifice ancestors," Shen Ling was a little surprised. She hesitated and said, "Brother Jin, why don't you go and find out what the Prime Minister's Mansion means? If you just go back like this, Uncle Yuan is the elder, and father is the son." Gang, whatever is agreed upon, it’s hard for Brother Jin to say anything."
Shen Jin thought for a while and said: "First ask your mentor before making a decision. If you leave Beijing without informing the other side, it would be arrogant..."
When Shen Ling heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was not arguing about the debts of the third family and the He family, but was happy for Shen Jin. Although a man should stand upright in this world, it would be a bit futile to rely on this and that, but there are differences between these two marriages. It's too big. Even if the Li family can't get it in the end, it's still a good thing as long as they use the Li family's name to retreat to the Yan family. With Shen Jin's character and knowledge, as long as Shen Yuan doesn't act like a fool again, only the Shen family will Pick someone else's, no one else picks on the Shen family's.
Shen Jin was already there, but Shen Ling came over again, so Mrs. Xu sent someone over to leave some food.
After dinner, Shen Jin and Shen Ling walked out together to say goodbye.
The sky was gloomy, and it looked like a storm was coming, so Shen Rui ordered someone to prepare umbrellas for the two of them.
After coming out of Shangshu Mansion, Shen Ling tightened her clothes and shivered. Shen Jin also looked up at the sky and said, "Looking at the situation, it's going to rain heavily in the next few days."
Shen Ling said: "The weather is really crazy. Yesterday it was so hot that people couldn't hold their clothes together, but today the cool breeze is biting. It's just summer, and it suddenly feels like autumn..."
Shen Jin frowned and said: "I just hope that the weather will normalize soon, so that the road will be difficult..."
Shen Ling said: "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming up in a few days. Are you planning to leave before the festival?"
Shen Jin nodded: "That's my plan, what about Brother Ling?"
Shen Ling said: "Of course I have to go with Brother Jin. I went to Beijing this time, firstly to see the brothers from the Six Clans, and secondly to see Brother Jin. Now that I have met them all, I have finished my errands and it is time to go back. Already..."
The two clan brothers were talking when a loud thunder fell. Seeing that the rain was about to start, they didn't care about anything else and started galloping on their horses.
Jiurujuli, the maid closed the window of the study room, and the room became dark.
The lights were on in the room, and with the thunder and thunder outside, Shen Rui held the book in his hand. He felt a little irritable, so he got up and poured a cup of tea to eat.
Shen Jin obviously looks responsible, and Shen Li is not the kind of good old man who would indulge his clan members, but he still seems to have forgotten something?
Shen Rui rubbed his temples and laughed to himself. He didn't intend to be the leader of the Shen family, so was he worrying too much? He had no intention of competing with each other due to loyalty, but with Shen Jin's number one ranking in front of him for comparison, if In the future, the imperial examination will be embarrassing, and he is not the only one who is embarrassed. Now it is superfluous to think about anything. Reading more and reading good books is the most important thing...
