The five hundred and thirtieth eight chapters gradually grow a rift (three)
He family, inner house.
In just a few days, Mrs. He cleared a circle, and her originally gray hair turned white. After all, she was over 70 years old and encountered the survival of the family. Now she was just holding on, otherwise she would have fallen ill long ago. It's.
Seeing that He finally returned to the province, Old Mrs. He held her niece's hand like a life-saving straw, she cried like a spring: "Nannan, your second brother was born to me, and my nephew is better than my mother. If she said that he was greedy for money and was concerned about the Shen family's property. I believe that if he is willing to say that he is trying to kill the Shen family regardless of love, he does not have the courage to do so!"
He thought of his missing Changsun. Even though the initiator was not his cousin, the book boy who was bought into the yamen to "kill his nephew" was unable to get out of touch with his cousin. He was very angry and gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Jun." I don't call him uncle, and Brother Xiaodong doesn't call him uncle? For money, I don't care about my love at all. After getting news of Brother Xiaodong's disappearance, I not only did not worry about my grandson, but instead used this to frame my nephew. Brother Wolf, I really can't afford it..." The more I said, the more I hated me, my body, which was originally weak due to illness, began to tremble.
Old Mrs. He raised her niece and knew her personality the most. She cursed like this on her mouth, but if she hadn't been soft-hearted, she wouldn't have dragged her sick body back to her parents' home at this time.
"It's all his bastards, he's jealous of the Shen family's fertile land, and he's plotted again and again. In the final analysis, the He family has no successor and is declining more and more. The bastards can't afford to be glorious. They value these yellow and white things, for fear that the He family will be left to be left behind. He bullied it." Old Mrs. He cursed, not regretting it. You should know that the He family, like the Shen family, are both scholarly families. Before the Shen family rose, they were among the top two families in Songjiang. But later, they became unfair to their children. The legitimate gambler was gradually declining. If the elders of the family had not taken action to deal with the clan, they would have fallen to the third-class family if they had not married the newly-anchored Shen family and depended on the Shen family.
Mr. He Er has always been thinking about the land of the Shen family, and there is a reason for it. Not to mention anything else, it is the thousands of acres of land sacrificed by the Shen family, which is the He family's property. Every generation of the head of the He family talks about what is sold All the tribes have to sigh. In the eyes of the world, Chen He and the two tribes have been inseparable from a hundred years of marriage, but they do not know that the one who secretly hopes for the decline of the Shen family is either others or the He family. The He family does not care about their in-laws and wants to turn them into The Shen family was put to death, but wanted to restore the glory of the clan, hoping that a group would dominate the world and could go from relying on the Shen family to being dependent on the Shen family.
But unexpectedly, the Shen family's ancestral tomb was filled with smoke, and each generation became more prosperous than the next, and became an unshakable family.
As the daughter of the He family, He naturally heard from his elders about the glory of the He family’s ancestors. He thought he could afford the status of a clan wife and always was proud of the eldest daughter of the He family. She naturally hoped that the He family would be old. The better, the hard work she can always stand, so she turned a blind eye to her cousin’s calculations about the fourth house of the Shen family, but this does not mean that she is willing to make plans for her. Her husband, children, grandchildren and mother’s family Cousin, she can still tell who is close to whom and who is far away.
If only Mr. He was involved in the relationship between the second master, He would not care whether he was dead or alive. But if the Shen family "takes trouble" and wants to drag the He family into the water, He would not be able to stand it.
Chen He's family has been in-laws for a hundred years, and other house leaders also have daughters and daughters. Just like the fourth house now the mistress is the daughter of the He family's sanctuary; but the closest relationship is the clan's house, not only the patriarch of the He family's wife is the He family's daughter. Even the clan wife, the little He family, is also a daughter of the He family. If the He family is punished and defeated, will the He family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law deal with themselves in the Shen family in the future?
"Now everything is ready in the prefect's office. Just wait for the scholar-official master to come and examine the case together. Can I deal with it here?" He had to bear the anger and asked.
Old Mrs. He said with tears in her eyes: "The second brother has entered, the fifth brother is young and not involved. What can I do, the old woman? I originally wanted to hand in front of the imperial envoy with the face of your eldest brother, but I couldn't do it. I really couldn't do it.
, I could only let the fifth brother leave Songjiang and go out to welcome the school government. A few days ago, your elder brother wrote a letter to your niece and booked a marriage. The eldest son of the Minister of Works, the nephew of the school government, is now the nephew of the school government.
It is also a blessing for the He family to be able to take care of the students who study in government through this in-laws, not seeking favoritism and expecting justice."
He was relieved when he heard this, and then became worried about the Shen family. What if the academic government leaned against the He family and blamed the Shen family? His own son was still involved in the case. If there was a mistake,
I have no place to cry.
Old Mrs. He was a mature and saw her expression, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Xuezheng is just a jury, and the judge is still the imperial envoy. I will not be wronged by the Shen family."
When He thought of Wang Shouren's relationship with the Shen family, he casually said: "That's it, the mission of Wang Qin has an old age with the Shen family. He was once a guest of honor for Shen Li and Shen Rui's teacher. There is no reason not to protect the Shen family.
"
Old Mrs. He was calm, but she was very calm in her heart and remembered the relationship. No wonder the imperial envoy was like this, not even giving the face of a Jingtang. It turned out that she had a relationship with the Shen family.
Because of the origin, this is just right. If the imperial envoy tried the case fairly, he would naturally have nothing to say; if he really favored the Shen family and had this relationship, no matter what the judgment was made, it would be much easier for the capital to overturn the case.
Mrs. He is less worried about the upcoming trial, but more anticipated. With the relationship between the Shen family and the imperial envoy, the He family is not innocent, but can only be innocent. Otherwise, the He family will reveal the imperial envoy and Shen.
The Shen family cannot fall in love with each other.
But this cannot be said to He. His niece is a confused person, and his niece is in a state of confusion. Before the case is officially opened, he still needs to meet the current speaker of the Shen family. But now Shen Li is back,
The second master of the Shen family from the Imperial College in Nanjing has also returned. Who is in charge of this matter? Old Mrs. He turned Buddhist beads into her hands and was already thinking about how to send someone to inquire.
*
At the gate of the sect, Shen Rui helped Shen Yuan into the carriage. Shen Jun was supported by a servant, and his face was ashamed.
Shen Li glanced at his injured leg and said, "Don't think too much. Before the case is tried, you can recover from the injury. The trial will start in a few days, and it will not be cheap."
Shen Jun nodded quickly, but he had no face to keep the guests and could only watch the group leave.
The five-bedroom mourning was awkward, and the other houses were not familiar with each other, and the only ones that Shen Yuan could go to was Shen Lishu.
On the carriage, Shen Yuan sighed and said, "It's over now, what should we do in the future?"
The clan affairs do not mean that they can be divided at will. A single tree cannot make a forest. Five houses in the inner and outer rooms of the Shen family have been released, but there are still no divisions in the clan. It is just a group of people. It is just an openly complete one.
Someone from the Shen family secretly peeked and framed, and the branches of each house became fat on the chopping boards of others.
But if the clan leader doesn’t split, he will change people, but who can convince the public?
"The main priest of the legitimate branch is the place of rituals, and there is no one in the four rooms in the inner world!" Chen Yuan shook his head and said.
The ancestor of the Shen family in Songjiang is the ancestor of the inner four houses, and the outer five houses are just brothers. The change of clan leaders is also considered to be alternating between the inner four houses. However, the second house is far away in the capital and has a relationship with clan members. It's far away; the third house was originally a concubine, and now the descendants are not good at becoming a good person, so there is no need to say; the fourth house has Chen Jin, but he is the only son, so it is impossible for him to give up his future and return to his hometown to stay in his business. As for Chen Yuan, he is a more confused than Chen Hai. Of course no one would think of him.
"Since it has been passed down for several generations, and after the service, how can I get the inner and outer rooms? I think Brother Qi is just right, so everyone can rest assured." Shen Rui said.
Both were injured, Chen Jun injured his leg and had the possibility of healing; Chen Qi broke his right arm, he was disabled, and had his future, so he could only stay behind in his ancestral property in the future. In addition, Chen Ying and the fifth house were also there. Chen Quan is here. Chen Ying is an official in the capital. Chen Quan will become an official sooner or later. Both of them are Chen Qi's backers.
The eldest son of the clan house had a confused Chen Hai, the greedy Chen Jiang, the younger generation of Shen Cheng was a talented man, and Chen Jun experienced a rough and drastic change in his temperament. Others could not see his grandchildren, and having a eldest son who was wandering outside was also a fatal weakness. , If the Shen family wants to continue to pass on the inheritance, the clan house is indeed not suitable to continue to take charge of clan affairs.
Compared with the same clan, five rooms are much more Qingming.
Originally, when the ancestors of the Shen family divided the house, they also established clan rules, but the descendants were abandoned, making clan affairs a matter of the clan family a matter of the clan family. It would be a good thing to set up the rules again while the clan leader was replaced. Otherwise, there would be many members of the Shen family. , Today's violation of the law and tomorrow's chaos of discipline, who knows how many charges will be charged for the tribe members? In the officialdom, there are many attacks and annihilations. Since this disadvantage is exposed, it will naturally be avoided.
Chen Yuan and Chen Li are both people in the officialdom, so they naturally know the reason why the clan relatives prosper and the other lose, otherwise they would not have traveled thousands of miles back to their hometown for the sake of clan members' lawsuit.
But since childhood, ethics and teachings have paid more attention to the importance of the eldest son, and it is not as calm and composed as Shen Rui.
"Isn't there any other side branches in the sect room? Can't you pick one or two people out?" Chen Yuan hesitated.
Shen Rui said: "With the eldest son of the clan, even if the clan leader is there, he is just a puppet."
Chen Li looked more open than Chen Yuan, nodded and said, "It's better for Brother Rui to see clearly. It is indeed not advisable to find someone in the branch next to the clan's house."
People who can convince the public and have a trustworthy character are really the only choice in the fifth room. If Chen Hong is still there and has a stronger body, he is the most appropriate candidate; but Chen Qi is not bad, even if he has a low seniority. However, with Chen Ying's brother here, it is also a help that others should not underestimate. In addition, the relationship between the fifth and second rooms, the fourth rooms and the sixth rooms is close, which can reassure these families, and the relationship between other tribesmen is even more distant. Character cannot be guaranteed.
Chen Li has always treated Shen Rui as his own brother. Chen Yuan thought he would teach Shen Rui, but he didn't expect that he would be persuaded by Shen Rui. Such a sharp view can certainly prove that his vision is good, but he is not too cold-hearted?
Chen Yuan couldn't help but look at Shen Rui secretly, the more he looked, the more complicated he felt. If he hadn't betrayed back then, this would be his eldest son. Thinking of his biological son who fell off a horse and his heir who died of illness, Chen Yuan lowered his eyes and could only sigh silently.
