Shen Junhao on the side didn't react at first, but when he reacted, Shen Junzhuo had already been pushed to the ground, and the brothers immediately divided into two groups, one to pull Shen Junzhuo up, and the other to teach Shen Junjie a lesson.

Shen Junrui was originally standing with Shen Junjie, but he reacted slowly, and when he reacted, his second brother, third brother and the two cousins of the Xu family were all around Shen Junjie, and they were teaching Shen Junjie how his brother could do it. Shen Junrui wanted to say something, and found that it seemed that the brothers had said it, so he had to be in a hurry next to him.

The eldest brother over there, Shen Junhao, also pulled Shen Junzhuo up, and was asking him with concern where he fell?

In fact, after pushing his younger brother Shen Junzhuo to the ground, Shen Junjie also regretted it, how to say that Shen Junjie is also his own brother, although he is a concubine, but he really shouldn't push people down so impulsively, but if he wants him to apologize like Shen Junzhuo, he can't get up and down all the time, so he has to lower his head and don't speak.

Shen Junzhuo, who had been calmed down by the comfort of his eldest brother Shen Junhao, turned his head to look at the fifth brother Shen Junjie, who was stubborn and refused to apologize, and suddenly stomped his feet and roared without knowing what he thought: "You bully people, why do you just?" said and bumped into Shen Junjie.

Shen Junhao was also a little ready to leave and was about to stop Shen Junzhuo, while saying, "Junzhuo, calm down!"

Who knew that Shen Junzhuo relied on the advantage of being young and not tall, so he rushed past Shen Junhao and hit Shen Junjie.

Shen Junjie was already angry, and when he saw Shen Junzhuo like this, he actually wanted to bump into it, but he was stopped by Shen Junxi: "Fifth brother, what are you going to do?"

Shen Junzhuo dodged several brothers of the Shen family again, and finally hit Shen Junjie with a clear goal, but who knew that Shen Junrui, who had been in a hurry on the side, immediately came out and blocked Shen Junzhuo.

But Shen Junzhuo's speed was fast, and when he saw Shen Junrui who suddenly stood up, Shen Junrui, who was not affected at all, also wanted to file a gear or block it, who knew that Shen Junzhuo was rushing too fast, and the inertia was too great to stop for a while, so he took Shen Junrui and turned out of the pavilion and fell into the lake together.

Fortunately, there were people guarding around the lake, and when Shen Junrui and Shen Junzhuo were rescued, Shen Junhao immediately took the Shen brothers out to say goodbye, and sent a letter to the Xiao family.

After Shen Junhao said this, he thought carefully for a while about what he had missed, and when he saw that what he had said was almost, he didn't say anything more, but out of prudence, he still asked Shen Junxi: "Second brother, if you have anything to add, just say it." ”

Shen Junxi shook his head and said, "Big brother has already made it quite clear, I don't have anything to add." ”

Xiao Shi probably knew something after listening to it for a long time, but he had a few questions, and he didn't know very well, so he asked Shen Junhao: "You said earlier that Young Master Gao Ying agreed not to tell this matter, and how did Jun Zhuo know this Young Master Gao and follow him into Princess Ning's banquet?"

Speaking of Gao Ying's matter, Shen Junhao frowned, the appearance of brother infighting in front of Gao Ying, an outsider, was actually the biggest mistake of the Shen family brothers at Princess Ning's banquet this time, if Gao Ying was not present, then this time the matter was still within the controllable range, and now that there is such a person, this matter can be big or small.

"The fifth brother and Brother Zhuo were originally only six or seven years old, and it was nothing for the brothers at this age to have some disputes, but there was a dispute in front of Gao Ying, the young master of the Shilang Mansion, and the most important thing is that I feel that this Gao Ying does not seem to have any kindness to our Shen family. ”

Shen Junxi also nodded on the side and said, "I think so too, but I don't know if our Shen family and the Gao Shilang family of the Criminal Department have a festival or conflict?"

Xiao Shi thought for a while, and said: "There should be no festival, our Shen family has always been kind to people, and people have always been not offending me, I don't offend people, even if the old men disagree with people in the court, they will never affect private interactions." But what you said about Gao Shilang reminds me of one thing, a while ago, the Gao Shilang family of the Criminal Department and the second prince's grandfather Liu Taiwei's family got married, but the objects of the marriage were all concubines and concubines, and at that time, our Shen family also sent someone to send a gift after receiving the post, and we didn't pay much attention to it. If you look at it, Gao Jiatong guò and Liu Taiwei's family got married to the second prince, but I am afraid that the second prince still has some thoughts about the last time. ”

"The second prince doesn't have thoughts about what happened last time, but he has thoughts about my Shen family. Shen Jitang's voice suddenly appeared at the door, and the three of the Xiao family turned their heads to look, and saw Shen Jizhong and Shen Jitang walking in from the door one after the other, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

Shen Jizhong and Shen Jitang sat on the left and right, Xiao sat at the bottom of Shen Jitang, and Shen Junhao and Shen Junxi sat side by side at the head of Shen Jizhong.

Shen Jizhong first got up and solemnly bowed his hand to the Xiao family: "This time, the second brother and sister Lao will bother, and Junzhuo will also trouble the second brother and sister to take care of one or two." ”

Xiao Shi immediately got up to avoid it, returned a salute, and said with a smile: "Big brother is so tormenting me, it's all the family that doesn't bother." ”

Shen Jitang also said on the side: "Big brother, why do you see the outside world like this, Junzhuo is also our nephew, we don't take care of our uncles and aunts, do we still expect outsiders to come and take care of the juniors of my Shen family?"

"It's the eldest brother who is like an elephant, okay, the family doesn't talk to each other, this time it turned out that Junzhuo was not, and he was tired of Junrui falling into the water, and when Junzhuo was in better health, he must let him apologize to our brother Rui. Shen Jizhong was also ashamed for a while, his son was a guest at Princess Ning's house, and there was infighting, as the so-called "son does not teach, father's fault", and instructed his eldest son Shen Junhao: "You go and choose some good medicinal materials for your fourth brother in a while." In addition, I have a picture of eight horses in my study, don't you like it, so I sent it to him. Shen Junhao immediately got up and responded.

Shen Jitang said with a smile: "In this way, our brother Rui has a big bargain this time, even I envy it, I remember that the eldest brother took a lot of effort to collect it." ”

"Although the Eight Horses Diagram is important after all, it is a dead thing, and I am saying that although I gave it to Brother Rui, but in the future, my uncle will appreciate it, and he will not lend it to me. No longer entangled in the disputes between his sons, Shen Jizhong didn't mind teasing his younger brother a few words.

Shen Jitang's face suddenly realized, he didn't know what to think, hehe laughed.

As soon as the Xiao family saw Shen Jitang's smile, he knew what he had in mind, his son's things, the uncle could borrow them, and he could keep them on his behalf, so he glared at Shen Jitang who was smirking angrily, and asked: "Master, I just said that the second prince didn't have thoughts about what happened last time, but had thoughts about our Shen family, what's going on?"

As soon as it came to serious matters, Shen Jizhong and Shen Jitang's expressions were correct, and Shen Jitang explained first: "We just came back, and we heard a report from our subordinates, saying that something happened to you at Princess Ning's banquet, so we know that I am afraid that someone is targeting our Shen family, otherwise with my Shen family's family style, although you brothers have some contradictions, they will not make trouble outside." ”

After a pause, Shen Jitang continued: "Although our Shen family is not a big family for generations, but we have always been upright, and we have always been loyal to the emperor above the court, and we are impartial to several princes. ”

Xiao Shi asked a little uneasily: "In this way, the family will not be calm recently, our Shen family has not always been low-key, and nothing out of the ordinary has happened, when did our Shen family get so much attention?"

Shen Jitang and Shen Jizhong, two brothers, made eye contact for a moment, Shen Jizhong pondered and said: "Let me tell me, it's still a matter of Lord Li in the cabinet a year ago. In the past half a year, Lord Cao, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, has taken the line of the second prince and Brother Hao's grandfather, Lord Ma, is fighting fiercely in the court, Lord Cao is not as good as his father-in-law in terms of qualifications, but there are two princes behind him, but his father-in-law has been in charge of the household for many years, and there are many protégés, plus those princes who want to take this opportunity to sell good to their father-in-law secretly make efforts, and the two sides are fighting equally.

Since Lord Li officially stepped down last month, the Holy Lord has been unsure of the candidate, which has made the battle between the two sides more intense. We originally thought that the final candidate for the cabinet was between Lord Cao and his father-in-law, depending on how the saint was chosen, a few days ago, the saint specially summoned me and the second brother, originally we just faintly guessed, and did not dare to reveal, but today the saint summoned me into the palace to face the saint, the saint has clearly revealed, will let me jump into the cabinet, the holy decree will be down these days. ”

Xiao Shi was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Congratulations to the eldest brother, this is a great joy for our family." ”

"The eldest brother can enter the cabinet, for our Shen family, there are good and bad, especially now that the saint has passed the year of the mandate of heaven, all the princes have grown up, and my Shen family will act more cautiously in the future. "Although the Xiao family knows a little about the affairs of the court, it is not as good as Shen Jitang after all, the court family has always been inseparable, and without enough political foundation and strength, no family can be inherited for more than a hundred years.

Shen Jizhong nodded, and instructed Shen Junhao and Shen Junxi: "Today's events, you can just hear about it, 'the law does not spread the six ears', not to mention that as long as the holy decree is not issued, things may change." One of you two brothers is the eldest grandson of my Shen family, and the other is the second grandson but also the eldest son of the second house, and the future of the Shen family will depend on you juniors, and you should be a good example for your younger brothers and sisters as brothers. From today on, the two of you will enter the study outside the Shen family together, and you will no longer hide anything from you at home, and you will also learn the affairs of the officialdom and the court. ”

The study outside the Shen family is a place where the Shen family's masters and staff discuss and deal with political affairs, except for the people who are specially responsible for guarding the outer study, they will not let people go in lightly, not to mention the three ladies of the Shen family, even the Tai Lady Feng has never entered. The young master of the Shen family was originally allowed to go in to audit when he was over sixteen years old, and Shen Junhao was only fourteen, and Shen Junxi was even younger than eleven, so letting the two brothers go in to audit so early has to say that this is also a move by the three brothers Shen Jizhong who have considered it again and again.

Although the Shen family is also a family for generations, it has not had many heirs, and when it comes to the generation of Shen Junhao's brothers, there are only seven brothers at present, don't look at seven people, it seems that there are a lot of people, you must know that this is the current number of the third generation of the Shen family, compared to other families, there are hundreds of people, not to mention dozens of descendants, the Shen family can really be said to be weak. And since the sudden death of Old Lady Shen, it has also reminded the Shen family that the descendants of the future generations must cultivate one or two people who can stand alone as soon as possible, so as not to cause a sudden accident, and the Shen family will be scattered.

What's more, now the Shen family is in an eventful time, once Shen Jizhong is determined to enter the cabinet, the princes will never give up wooing the Shen family, the Shen family can now be said to be both famous and emperor-like, and King Ning, who holds military power, is in-law, it is better to let the third generation of the Shen family contact these political affairs earlier, so as not to be used.

Shen Junxi said with some uncertainty: "Then this time, Gao Ying, the third young master of Gao Shilang, took Brother Zhuo to Princess Ning's banquet, could it be intentional, or maybe it was instructed by the second prince, does it mean that someone may already know about the uncle's entry into the cabinet?"

Shen Jizhong looked at Shen Junxi and nodded appreciatively, and said, "The Holy Lord summoned me twice, but I am afraid that most people have guessed that the Holy Lord has decided to choose the cabinet candidate, and maybe they think that it is Brother Hao and their maternal grandfather." It's just ......" Shen Jizhong hesitated, and said meaningfully: "When the Holy Lord summoned me, he didn't avoid anyone, but I was afraid that the well-informed person already knew." ”。
