Chapter 12: Separation
After Jing Rui and Hu Daicai separated, they walked towards another alley where Xiao'er was. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter the two left, two people jumped from the roof in the original alley.
The tall young man who was wearing a blue robe after the rain said to the young man who was also tall and taller in the purple robe next to him, and he was even more handsome and upright, and he was so noble: "That kid is very smart, and he can make talents." ”
"Oh. The man in purple had no choice but to respond, and he didn't know whether he agreed or not.
Here, after Shen Jingrui and Shen Xiao'er met their two siblings, they didn't stay in the town and hurried home. Back in the village, cut some pigweed by the stream and take it home by the way.
After lunch, Old Man Shen called everyone in the Shen family to go to the upper room, and even the confinement Liu family did not fall, saying that he had something to say.
In the upper room, Old Man Shen and Shen Zhuang sat on the kang, Shen Yuzhu and the big house sat on the left and right sides, and the people in the other rooms sat on the stools on both sides of the kang.
Xiao'er was hugged by Shen Chengyao, Liu sat under him with his little sister in his arms, Jing Rui and Jing Hao stood behind the two, Shen Jingjie in the fourth room pulled Jing Hao to play, and Lu sat next to Liu and the two talked softly. The fourth uncle sat beside the Lu family.
On the opposite side sat the people in the second room.
From the sitting formation, it can be seen that the relatives are far away and close.
Old Man Shen didn't start talking until he saw that everyone was together, and he talked a lot. The meaning of the words is probably what kind of hard work he worked when he was young, how he walked the streets and alleys to be a merchant, earned this family business, and even opened a grocery store. Then he talked about how hard a family of people worked, how to cut down on food and clothing, starving and freezing for the long house chief grandson to study, and the big house must repay a few younger brothers in the future, etc., and he didn't say the point for a long time.
"Dad, everyone is a family who doesn't repay anything, and we are all happy to provide education for the eldest brother and eldest nephew. Shen Chengyao thought that Old Man Shen was worried that he would have an opinion on Shen Jingwen's reading, so he said.
He really has no problem with supporting his nephew to study, but he hopes that his wife and children can have food and clothing, and he is very distressed to see his wife and children starving and suffering with him, and he also fantasizes about being able to provide his son with education.
"Yes, Dad, brothers should support each other. Shen Chengzu was also busy expressing his position.
These two big buns, Xiao'er sighed in her heart. The old man was able to turn a blind eye to such unfair treatment for so many years, and he also had the credit of these two buns. In fact, it is necessary to contribute to the prosperity of the family, but it is not possible to contribute by being mean to other children and grandchildren. I can provide you with education, but you can't provide food and clothing, at least everyone needs to be at the same level for food and clothing. A family should be united, work together, share blessings and share sorrows.
Old man Shen must have ulterior motives when he said this today, Shen Jingwen is also good at reading, at least 15-year-old children, I heard that the whole county is also rare, it is estimated that he will soon be able to show talent, yesterday Shen Chengguang and Shen Jingwen stayed in the upper room and talked to Old Man Shen for a while, it is estimated that it is related to today's words. Thinking of this, Xiao'er suddenly understood that this was going to be separated, and after not separating the family, Shen Jingwen would become an official, and he would also be a family, and the wealth would be shared, so why should he say anything to repay? They wanted to split up before Zhongxiucai, so as not to fall behind. If this is the case, Xiao'er is a little looking forward to it, and the separation is a good thing for her.
"Dad, if you have anything to say, just say it. "Shen Chengzong has seen it clearly for so many years, the old man's heart is boundless, and he won't believe that he will love his family.
Shen Zhuang saw that the old man Shen had been talking for a long time, but his sons didn't understand his intentions, but misunderstood what he meant, and couldn't sit still: "You old man, you don't know what you're talking nonsense for a long time, isn't it natural for your younger brother to help your brother?
"You mother-in-law who doesn't understand anything, what are you talking about here!" Old man Shen glared at Shen Zhuang's family, he said that there must be his intentions for so much, isn't he worried that other descendants will not understand his good intentions, thinking that the Dafang family wants to leave them behind to enjoy their own wealth! And this mother-in-law is specially demolishing the stage, what is right! Can this be said? What nonsense!
The following sons and daughters-in-law were shocked. Shen Zhuang's family likes to live together with a large family the most, they really never thought that the old man would take the initiative to break up the family, and several daughters-in-law were equally shocked when they heard it, but they were more happy. To be honest, life under Shen Zhuang's nose is really difficult.
"Daddy, is there something wrong with my son?" Shen Chengyao reflected on whether his family had done anything wrong recently, but except for his wife who didn't do housework because of confinement, he couldn't think of anything else, it wouldn't be because of this reason. His wife gave birth to children for herself, if she didn't even have to sit in confinement, she still had to do this and that, in case she fell ill in the future, he couldn't forgive himself.
"Or are our children ignorant, what did they do to make your old man angry?" Shen Chengzu had no clue after thinking about it, so he had to think about his son.
"It's not, what are you thinking about, Dad knows that you are all good sons of Dad, and grandchildren are good grandsons, but Dad has recently thought about it, and thinks that the tree will branch when it is big, and our Shen family has more than 20 people, living together, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of inconvenience, and it is easy to cause friction, and if there is more friction, the feelings will be thin, I just thought, while everyone is still fragrant, divide it first, and Dad is also worried, if Wen'er has the opportunity to become an official in the future, the officialdom is dark, and the villain cannot be guarded against, and if you are not careful, it may cause the disaster of extermination。 And you can also find a way to maneuver outside, instead of serving it in one pot, then there is really no way to ask for help. And as long as you have the heart, even if you are separated, Wen'er will definitely help everyone when she becomes an official, and you can do it without separating the family. Think about it. ”
Hearing this, everyone was silent, and they were all thinking about whether it was feasible to split up.
"After the separation, you are my brothers, for so many years, I know how much my brother has suffered for me, if there is something in the future, just come to me, if I can help, I will definitely help without saying a word. Shen Chengguang saw that no one spoke, so he hurriedly made a guarantee. Of course, there is a lot of room for what he says, first of all, come to him, not Shen Jingwen, who is an official, and secondly, those who can help will definitely help, whether this can help or not is not a matter of his words.
Xiao'er scoffed when she heard this, if you can help, the water is too much, and you can't do anything in the future.
Old man Shen was very satisfied when he heard this: "Dad is also taking precautions, thinking farther, Wen'er is only a child now, if you want to show talents, raise people, jinshi, and send officials, I don't know how many years later, ten years is early, and twenty years is undecided, but the things in the world are not afraid of 10,000 in case, and if you divide it early, what will happen in the future, others will also think that we will have broken up a long time ago, and there will be fewer chances of being implicated." After saying so many words at once, his mouth was dry, and after speaking, Old Man Shen drank water by himself and let his sons think about it for themselves.
"Dad is all for our good, I listen to Dad. Shen Chengzong agreed without thinking about it. This morning Li brought back a piece of news, his brother-in-law took a caravan to do the business of buying and selling north and south, but he made money, he only did it once, and invested 30 taels into it, which tripled in two months, and Jing earned 60 taels. He is ready to follow, if he doesn't split up, he will have to hand over the money he earns in the future, and he will have to be sneaky if he doesn't hand it over, but he can do a lot of work by splitting his own family, and he will earn it all by himself. So the separation is timely rain for him.
Shen Chengyao turned his head and asked Liu: "What do you think, child?"
Of course, Liu wanted to divide it, she didn't expect to be able to enjoy the blessings of being an official in a big house, but she begged her children to have food and clothing now, so she said: "Dad is very thoughtful." "It's an agreement to break up.
Liu glanced at the Lu family, and when he saw that the other party's eyes were full of smiles, he knew that she also wanted to break up.
Shen Chengzu also asked the Lu family's opinion, knowing that she also wanted to split up, and asked Shen Chengyao again, Shen Chengyao himself also thought about it, so he said, "We listen to Dad." ”
The brothers agreed to split the family, and the matter of the Shen family's separation was officially established. Old Man Shen said the silver, land, shops and other properties shared by the family, and then said the separation plan that he thought of last night and asked everyone's opinions.
