Four hundred and sixtieth eight chapters great change will be born (four)
Eight treasure rice dumplings, candied date rice dumplings, bacon rice dumplings, chicken rice dumplings, salty and sweet rice dumplings, triangular and square, all of which are delicate and cute. The big ones are only big in the fist of a child, and the small ones are similar to the thumb.
Brother Lu was fond of sweetness and held half of the eight-treasure rice dumpling, which made her taste delicious.
Although the rice dumplings are delicious, the glutinous rice is not easy to melt, so the third wife only allowed him to eat half of it.
Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival. Although Xiaozhong does not eat banquets, everyone is also having dinner here at the room today.
The huge Shangshu Mansion, the east and west courtyards, have three or five-entry houses, and there are about three hundred rooms, but the owners living there are only five people on the table, and there is no need to divide the table.
If Chen Luo had not died young, the Shen family should have grandchildren. If Chen Jue was still there, the family would be more lively. Xu was loving, but he always remembered the past without realizing it.
Xu looked at Shen Rui. The Shen family now watched the Shen family survived the mourning of Chen Cang smoothly. Wherever they went in the future, they would have to see Shen Rui's difficulties. The difficulties of the three brothers Chen Cang died of illness and the death of the great master. Compared with the situation outside, the situation is much better than being protected by relatives. Shen Rui is a persistent person. As long as there is no accident, the second wife will always show glory again.
A dock in the canal, sitting at the hatch of the ship, looking at the angrily lantern hanging outside, Shen Ling bit the rice dumpling in her hand, and her brows couldn't help but frown. It was just a small date glutinous rice dumpling, and it was a servant on the shore during the day. The old woman sold at the pier bought it in order to meet the scenery and celebrate the festival. However, the leaves of the rice dumplings are not well preserved, with a musty smell, and the glutinous rice is also old rice, which is not very strong. Compared with the rice dumplings I have eaten at home, this one It's really hard to swallow. This "home" does not refer to the third house, but the small home beside Chenzhou.
Although Chen Zhou didn't take much care of common affairs, Xu personally asked about the personnel arrangements around him. He had to use his mother in the kitchen, one was good at treating the mat and the other specialized in snacks. After a few years, Shen Ling's mouth has been Being tricked.
"I wish I could go back to Nanjing early..." Shen Ling put down the rice dumplings and murmured in a low voice.
Thinking of his good wife and son, Shen Ling's expression relieved, and her originally anxious mood gradually calmed down.
I have already asked someone to inquire about it. Chen Zhu was riding an official boat. The official boat has always been slow. I have been chasing for a day but I have no hope of catching up. After three or two days, it will be almost done.
Shen Ling didn't know that Chen Zhu got off the boat at the pier because she was in a bad mood and was stranded on the pier today.
In the inn by the dock, Chen Zhu bounced new clothes on his body and threw a piece of broken silver into his waiter's arms.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen..." Xiaoer bowed.
There was a young man in brocade clothes standing at the door with fair skin, thin eyebrows and thin eyes, and a folding fan in his hand.
"Let Brother Wu wait for a long time..." Chen Zhu said a little apologetically.
The young man looked at Chen Zhu and covered his mouth with a fan and said, "You are kind to you, my brother, the ancients said that Zhilan orchid and jade trees. Only when they saw Chen Zhu did they know that the ancients did not deceive me..."
Chen Zhu's waist was more worthy of being straightened, and said humbly: "Brother Wu praised him, and Brother Wu's demeanor is also rare in Zhu's life, and he is extremely honored..."
Chen Zhu sincerely praised this young man, with a handsome appearance, exquisite conversation, and good dress. Not to mention anything else, the material on his body looks ordinary and plain silk, but it is actually a rare thing that is no less than tributes. Even Chen Zhu has only seen him. I haven't worn a safe and sound card the size of a child's palm on my waist. It's as delicate as fat and worth a thousand gold. The three-bedroom family of Shen's family is also a wealthy family, and the supply of Shenzhu is also good. I can't help but feel ashamed when I see this young man. It is ashamed that this young man is extremely rich.
"Respect others and respect clothes first." Most people in the world are like this, and even a bead cannot avoid the vulgarity.
Chen Zhu was more impressed by this wealth and thought of clinging than being attracted by the young man's demeanor.
Chen Zhu felt earnest, and looked down at her clothes and was heartbroken. He was angry yesterday, and even the servant Changsui was left behind, not even the luggage or something, but he had a few tickets on his body. I didn't look embarrassed. Last night, I was hungover and my Confucian scholar's clothes were so trampled on. Then I sent the inn waiter to buy a set of ready-made clothes. Although it was also silk clothes, it looked shabby.
The young man seemed to not notice Chen Zhu's embarrassment, and said Wen Xu: "It was my brother who pulled Chen to have a drink yesterday, which delayed my brother boarding the boat this morning... If I don't dislike my brother's vulgarity, I'll walk with me... ”
The young man's face was full of sincerity, and Chen Zhu wanted to cling to him. After pretending to shirk a few words, he agreed.
After a while, the two arrived at the pier and boarded a boat.
Looking at the gorgeous cabin and the courage to sail at night, Chen Zhu became more and more sure that this young man had extraordinary status and was unwilling to show his timidity. He had to show his ancestors' glory and the current clan forces to say something, " After the bachelor's degree", "Songjiang's last surname", "A family of Confucian sluts", and "Brothers' two top scholars".
The young man was indeed full of admiration, with brilliant eyes in his eyes, and responded: "Shen family in Songjiang has long been revered to be famous and is worthy of the leader of the Jiangnan gentry..."
Chen Zhu and Youyouhen said, "It's just a farming and reading to pass on the family."
The young man's expression flashed and said, "My brother is humble. Songjiang is already a wealthy place. The Shen family has been passed down in Songjiang for several generations. This foundation is not comparable to that of ordinary gentry..."
Chen Zhu laughed "haha": "It's just that there are more land and more tribesmen."
What are the second house ministers and priests, the ninth house scholars, the fourth house scholars, the magistrates of the clan, and the fifth house officials of the Eastern Palace... Chen Zhu all ordered them proudly
The young man kept praising him, and after hearing it, he couldn't ask: "I wonder which room is the noble sect in my wife's house?"
Chen Zhu paused and said, "My younger brother is a legitimate branch of the third wing, and the second wing, and the fourth wing are still a relative of the fifth wing. However, my grandfather passed away in his prime. As the eldest brother, my father delayed his care for the three younger teenagers. Fortunately, the director of the common affairs department also accumulated a family business and lived a life as he went along. It was not said that he was among the top ones among the clansmen, and no one dared to underestimate it. However, several uncles were deceived as they grew older. , the father was so angry that he had a scandal of splitting up his family and fighting for property. As they wished, he was also disappointed. Now he was just keeping his career." In the end, he was already sighing.
"Human hearts are not old," the young man sighed.
Chen Zhu didn't think she was talking nonsense, but she really felt that the situation in the third room is all due to several uncles. The elder brother is like a father. Although his father did not manage it himself, if he was not a scholar, he would be in charge of the house, he would be the one who stayed at home. How could my uncle expand his business without worries? Other house leaders did not have good intentions, otherwise they would not have encouraged several uncles to separate their families. In the final analysis, it was just a peek at the three-bedroom industry. The four-bedroom Chen Yuan colluded with the He family. Just to occupy the three-family industry?
But after all, I remember that the family scandal should not be made public, Chen Zhu did not tell the intrigue of several houses, and only attributed the mistakes to the He family. Even the culprit who "incited" several uncles to split the family became Mr. He Er.
As for the reason why the He family targeted the Shen family, it was naturally because the He family's minister was resentful and was always suppressed by the Shen family. Then he bullied the Shen family after the second wife of the Shen family passed away. However, the Shen family was the Shen family, even if there was no Shangshu. There are other people, which made Chen Li come forward to "curb" He Dongsheng, which forced the He family to restrain themselves.
With disgust for the He family, Chen Zhu said that the He family became a "nova".
Speaking of Mr. He Er, Chen Zhu also looked contemptuous: "It's in vain for scholars and businessmen, but he thinks he's self-righteous when he has a few dollars. Now, their master is willing to bow his head and make big things small, otherwise The two families must have to do a good job of calculating..."
It was getting late, and Chenzhu had not rested for two days, and his face was exhausted, so the young man said goodbye.
Going around to a cabin behind, the young man looked respectful and whispered through the door: "Prince..."
"Go in" a lazy voice came from inside.
The young man pushed the door open and entered the cabin. The cabin was as big as four cabins where the beads lived, and it was brightly lit. Next to the tea table in the middle was a person sitting, holding a purple clay pot the size of a palm, slowly pouring tea.
The man was twenty-five and six years old and said carelessly: "It's just a sausage that doesn't know the world, why did it catch your eyes?"
The young man said with a glorious face: "Prince, this Shenzhu is not just a scholar. This person is not only interesting, but also a boy who gives money."
The man then raised his head and was a little interested: "Boy who gives money?"
"This is the legitimate branch of the Shen family in Songjiang. It is said that Su Song has a strong literary style. The Shen family is really amazing. There are more than ten gentry members, only four or five officials in the capital... It's a pity that Chen Cang, if he hadn't died of illness, he would not die of illness. , If you are at the position of Shangshu, you can hold it for ten more years..." said the young man.
The man sneered, "Are you greedy? Is this what people want, and can't they even want money?"
The young man nodded and said, "The prince started raising people a few years ago, and he needed money everywhere. The Shen family's century-old heritage is worth planning... As for people? As long as you get on the prince's ship, the prince's capital There is one more help..."
The man said irresistible: "Since you like it, let's make arrangements, just don't show your tracks outside..."
The young man said: "Don't worry, the man in Taihu Lake has been maintained for several years. He usually makes a small fuss. This time he goes to Songjiang, and he is also training troops... If it goes well, he will not be able to say that the funds there will be no need for the royal palace. Trouble..."
Hearing the word "training troops", the man became solemn and frowned and said, "I thought you were going to make a small fuss, and this was going to make a big fuss? Songjiang Mansion is not a remote place, and the surrounding guards are like this. Too adventurous…”
The young man said, "Don't worry, Songjiang is in the sea..."
The man still frowned and said, "Is it to be the name of Japanese pirates? Japanese pirates are different from Han people, so they are inevitably seen..."
The young man turned his eyes and said, "Isn't there another He family that is facing the Shen family? Then leave some heads and tails to point at the He family. Of course, someone will cover up the matter for us..."
The man looked deeper and thought for a while and said, "Don't move lightly, please send someone to Songjiang to explore the bottom. Songjiang is rich, so you may not have chosen the Shen family... If the He family is safe, it would be better to choose the He family." …”
