Chapter 522: The Yellow Sparrow Follows (2)
Inside and outside the city of Songjiang Mansion, many people are concerned about the prefect's yamen and the funeral of the Shen family's five rooms. In fact, it was only yesterday that Qin sent him to release the three sons of the Shen family, who had been detained for two months, and at the same time took off Zhao Xianzhong's prefect hat and put him in prison, which in itself also shows the attitude of the imperial court towards the Shen family's case.
The people who watched before, but while they were envious and jealous of the prosperity of the Shen family, many people gloated about the He family, especially after the news that Jinyiwei came to arrest people yesterday and the old lady of the He family personally pleaded with the Shen family was spread.
In the past 20 years, the He family has expanded a lot in the hands of Second Master He, and naturally some means are indispensable. Of course, this did not offend other big surnames, but those who were swallowed up by the second master He because of the middle of the family road are also Songjiang old surnames, and most of them are related to relatives.
Those who had watched the dispute between He and Shen and hoped that the Shen family would fall and get a share of the land and shop now began to sing about the He family, and even anxiously inquired about the He family's land and property in private.
Wait until today, the Shen family's carriage personally went to the prefect's yamen to pick up people, and then went to the Shen family's five rooms to hang filial piety, and those who waited and watched did not dare to delay any longer.
Wang Shouren and Zhang Yong saw that there was an endless stream of guests hanging sacrifices here, so they did not continue to stay and went back to the prefect's yamen.
Those who want to take this opportunity to cling to one or two, only think that the Shen family has selfish intentions and deliberately isolates the Qin Cha from contacting with various families, so they have to complain in their hearts, but they dare not show it on their faces.
Even if they are all in-laws and neighbors, Shen Li brought Shen Jin and Shen Rui two clan brothers to entertain guests, two champions and an heir of Shangshufu, and being able to show up is to give face to each family.
Shen Li and Shen Jin are the two champions, and they will both be big names in the pavilion in the future. is Shen Rui, even if he is only a talent and fame now, his father is dead, and there are two uncles who are officials, who can be relied on in the future. is not to talk about others, only to say Shen Li and Shen Jin, one has been protected by the Sun family for many years, and the other has been named Sun's son after being raised by the Sun family.
All families came to pay tribute, and Master Lu naturally followed the crowd, just? Compared with other people's hospitality, they are more calm and calm. Again
Shen Li, Shen Jin and the others were a little more polite and close to Master Lu, and in the eyes of other people, they had to inquire about it.
After knowing that Shen Rui had copied scriptures and kept filial piety in Xilin Zen Temple for three years, everyone understood where this politeness came from. Remembering that yesterday Zhao Xianzhong took the subordinate officials of the Songjiang Prefect Yamen to welcome him from the Hongyun Inn, everyone suspected that the Lu family had secretly hooked up with the Qin Cha through their relationship with the Shen family.
Yesterday, after Zhao Xianzhong personally welcomed the Qin mission into the prefect's yamen, the heads of various families in Songjiang went out one after another to inquire about the news from the Lu family.
Master Lu is the most sleek, where is he willing to talk casually before the dust settles, and he only shirks and does not know the identity of the Qincha.
The shopkeeper of Hongyun hurriedly returned to the old house of the Lu family, and then Master Lu went to the Hongyun Inn in person, and he could inquire about it as soon as he asked. But Master Lu didn't admit that he knew Qincha, and others couldn't force him to admit it, so he could only say two sour words and leave.
Because the Zhang family and the Lu family are the same ancestor, they are of the same origin, so Master Zhang stayed for a while, and asked the reason after the others left. Master Lu did not hide the origin of Wang Shouren and the Lu family, but he did not explain other things in as much detail, after all, it was not a good thing to put on the table, and in the dispute between the two Shen He families, there was a tendency to say that he wanted to offend the He family, and there was the real culprit behind the "Songjiang Rebellion". The grade of the Qin Cha is not high, but there is a squire father who was born in the top rank, and the Zhang family is glad that the Qin Cha has such a relationship with the Lu family.
Knowing what Wang Shouren and Shen Rui did in Xilin Zen Academy in their early years, coupled with the favor of Shen Li and Shen Jin for Master Lu now, even Master Zhang couldn't help but feel pantothenic acid in his heart. Although the Lu Zhang family is an old ancestor, because the ancestor of the Zhang family's son-in-law of the two families reverted to his surname Lu in his later years, the Xilin Monastery where the ancestor finally recuperated and studied Buddhism was passed on to the Lu family and became the private property of the Lu family, which had nothing to do with the Zhang family.
Only Master Lu himself knows that the Shen family's closeness and politeness are mostly because of his actions yesterday.
I don't know if other families have a backhand, looking at the passivity of the Shen family in the past two months, it is obvious that there is no other evidence that can prove innocence, so the "evidence" retained by the Lu family has become a key part of the crime of clearing the three sons of the Shen family. The prefect's yamen filed a case and someone first sued the third son of the Shen family for "communicating with the Japanese", and now the first accuser "accidentally" fell into the water and died.
Master Lu was not complacent, but reminded himself more and more to be careful. Qin sent down to investigate the case, but he was able to communicate with the Shen family without exonerating the Shen family, which shows that the crisis of the Shen family has passed.
If compared to Songjiang, the Shen He family is first-class, and Lu Zhang and others can be called second-rate, it doesn't seem that the difference is too far, but as long as they survive this difficulty, with the achievements of the Shen family's children, they will enter the officialdom one after another, and the Shen family will become more and more powerful in officialdom in ten or twenty years, and they can still be prominent in Songjiang for decades.
Shen Li saw Master Lu's restraint, thought for a while, and said: "I heard that Ling Lang has extraordinary qualifications, and now that he has entered the mansion, if he has leisure, he may be able to see it." β
Master Lu was stunned when he heard this, and the eyes of the other hanging guests sitting in the hall were red.
Shen Li is the champion, is this to accept disciples, or to do something? If you can be a champion disciple, you will have a promising future in the future, and your official connections will be proper; Even if you are not a champion disciple, getting a few points is an opportunity that others can't ask for.
Master Lu had already reacted, but he was not as ecstatic as everyone thought, and hesitated: "Will it delay the time of the champion father, after all, the champion prince also has family affairs to take care of when he returns to his hometown?" β
Shen Li said: "It's okay, since I am a junior in my hometown, I still have time to see each other." β
As for the rest, Shen Li was not in a hurry to promise.
Master Lu did sell a favor to the Shen family, and Shen Li was willing to repay one or two, but in the end, it depends on the qualifications of Master Lu's eldest son. Songjiang people are outstanding and have a prosperous literary style, and the twenty-year-old people are nothing in Songjiang Mansion, and there are several in the Shen family. If this Lu family elder has good qualifications and character, let alone mention some homework, it is nothing to accept a disciple.
The style of the Lu family is in Shen Li's eyes, and now the family is even more understanding, and Shen Li is willing to mention one or two.
Only then did Master Lu say: "Then trouble the champion Yuangong." β
Seeing this, the old men and grandfathers of other families looked at Master Lu with jealousy, and hesitated to talk to Shen Li with a thick face, begging him to also give him guidance on his children and grandchildren's studies. Among them, the one with a clear mind is that from Shen Li's calmness, he can see that the Shen family is determined and calm about the outcome of the lawsuit, and they have to exchange knowing glances with each other, and their attitude towards the Shen family has become closer and closer.
Shen Li is a person with clear grievances, not only knowing that these old surnames of Songjiang were eyeing the Shen family before, and there was no shortage of people who fell into the well, but they all looked indifferent to other masters, and under the pretext that something was wrong, they got up and left first.
There was also Shen Hai, the patriarch of the Shen family, accompanying him in the hall, but many people were sneering. Some people saw that Shen Jin was young and thought that even if they couldn't send their children and grandchildren to Shen Li's door, it would be good to be able to send them to Shen Jin's door. As for Shen Jin, who is only in the age of the crown, whether he is good to accept disciples or not is not something they are willing to consider.
Shen Jin didn't know that Master Lu was secretly helping the Shen family, but Shen Jin and Shen Rui were polite to Master Lu because Shen Rui was filial piety in Xilin Zen Monastery back then.
Shen Rineng treated Master Lu differently because of this, and Shen Jin claimed to be Shen Rui's eldest brother, so he was naturally willing to give the Lu family face. As for the Lu family, he is only one year younger than Shen Jin, and he has also played a mask in Fuxue before. Therefore, Shen Jin said to Master Lu: "The little nephew will stay in Songjiang for a few days, and he also has a friendship with Boqing. β
Although he is also the champion, Shen Jin's current identity and qualifications cannot be compared with Shen Li, but the champion is the champion, and this kindness is enough to make Master Lu grateful. At this moment, he was really glad that he had chosen before.
Master Lu said politely: "The little dog was still talking before, and he was fortunate enough to be a fellow nephew, and when he saw the virtuous and thoughtful, he was not famous, and he was ashamed of himself." β
Shen Jin said: "As early as when I was in school, the professor praised Boqing's articles for the old age, and the heat was almost over. went to the township test, Boqing was only on the road, one year late, and it was not too late to accumulate in the year after tomorrow. β
Lu Boqing is the word of Lu Lan, the eldest son of Master Lu.
"Borrow the words of the virtuous nephew." Master Lu ironed in his heart, a little less restrained, and a little more sincere.
The others looked at Master Lu with hot eyes, but Shen Hai frowned, looking at Shen Jin with a little disapproval. Others don't know, but Shen Hai does, this Master Lu and Second Master He have a very close personal relationship and close contacts.
Shen Rui lived in the Lu family's courtyard for a few years in his early years, but at that time, whether it was the fifth room or the patriarch's wife, he had sent heavy gifts to thank the Lu family. There are grievances between the Shen and He families, and the Shen family is not angry with Master Lu because of the He family, so why do they give him face like this?
There are so many outstanding children of the Shen family, Shen Li and Shen Jin don't mention it, why do they mention an outsider?
Shen Li, because of the grievances in his early years, has always had a thin relationship with the clan, and it is not Shen Hai's turn to preach; Shen Jin is here, but he will be a family member after the fourth room, and he can't tell the difference between inside and outside, Shen Hai secretly decided to wait for the guests to leave and talk to Shen Jin.

Prefect's yamen, guest house.
The middle-aged fat man in a python suit stood in the courtyard, looked at the traces of burning in the left and right wings, and said angrily: "What kind of guy is it, such a big dog, who really dares to disturb his uncle?" β
Zhang Yong squinted his eyes and said: "If we didn't know that the other party was an outlaw, our family wouldn't be scared, and deliberately asked you to come over to save your life." β
This fat man is none other than the godson of the chief eunuch Gao Feng, Suzhou Weaver Gao Nianen.
Yesterday afternoon, Zhang Yong sent Jinyiwei to Suzhou Weaving Yamen for help, Gao Nianen received the letter, did not delay, and gathered people to go to Songjiang overnight, so he arrived early.
Such courtesy is more of a gesture of closeness, and it does not mean that Gao Nianen really thinks that there will be any danger to Zhang Yong. But I never expected that there would be an accident. Fortunately, Zhang Yong is safe and sound now, but there is a false alarm, otherwise it will be too late for Gao Nianen to bring more people.
