The third master opened the conditions, and the uncle and nephew put down the matter of the He family. The reason why I got involved in this matter was because of trouble, as for whether He Pingsheng was alive or dead, and what did it matter to the Shen family?

Obviously, He Dongsheng regards this as a big deal. Although he cried poor in front of the Shen family's uncle and nephew, he didn't dare to delay, and on February 2, he came to deliver the Zhuang ticket.

The third master and Shen Rui didn't feel happy, and they didn't have the time to entertain He Dongsheng, so they were polite and not rude. Just because of this day, it was not only He Dongsheng who came to the door, but also the in-laws of the Shen family, and this day was a hundred days for Shen Cang.

In addition to the 100-day service, Shen Rui, the filial son, also changed out of mourning clothes.

Although I couldn't make it to the funeral, my relatives and friends who could come on this day also came.

He Dongsheng looked at the in-laws of the Shen family, and he only had envy in his heart. For the greed of the third master, He Dongsheng has reduced a lot. It is true that the Shen family took advantage of him, but since they are greedy for money, there is nothing to say that they can buy a back road with silver through Shen San's master.

has been in the capital for many years, and the sea has been up and down, although it is easy to talk about life and death, but it is common for officialdom to have three ups and downs, and there is a time to ask for help if you can't keep it.

He Dongsheng was comfortable, but in the evening, after seeing off the guests, the third master and Shen Rui had a dispute over the ownership of the 50,000 taels of silver.

"This is to make up for the two weaving factories that your mother was occupied by the He family back then, so naturally you should accept it." The third old man said.

Shen Rui said: "Although I don't know what my mother arranged at the beginning, but I was able to draw out the silver and send it to the capital, so I didn't suffer any loss." The He family's money can't be collected by the nephew. ”

The third old man said angrily: "Why can't you collect it?" Do you say that your mother didn't suffer a loss, so she didn't lose anything? If the He family is not weak-hearted, do you think He Dongsheng will honestly give away this silver? ”

Shen Rui: "I already have a lot of private property in my name, and I don't have a place to use silver. The third uncle is now out of office, and there are many favors, and when he needs cash, the third uncle should use it. ”

The third master had already gotten up and said: "I haven't wasted enough to take advantage of my nephew, love or not, donate and scatter as you go, anyway, this is your money." After that, without waiting for Shen Rui to speak again, he left in a huff.

Shen Rui had no choice but to accept the 50,000 taels of silver.

In the past few years, Shen Cang's health has not been good, and the Xu family has taken care of her husband wholeheartedly, and his energy is low, so he has already handed over all the marries under his name to Shen Rui to take care of. In addition to the few places distributed to the third master, there is also a dowry for Sister Yu'er, and there is a very staggering amount left. As long as Shen Rui doesn't get addicted to drugs, he doesn't have to worry about money in this life.

Shen Rui really wanted to give the 50,000 taels of silver to the third master, in addition to the large cost of the third master's body maintenance, but also because it was the third master who came out to face Shanghe Dongsheng this time.

As for the idea of holding the He family's silver money, donating it, and scattering it, Shen Rui didn't have it at all.

Shen Rui arranged for longevity to redeem the Zhuang ticket, exchanged the gold directly in the money village, and sent the gold to the silver building, and ordered ten Buddha statues, each more than 30 catties, seven or eight inches high, and it was convenient to give it away or exchange it for silver.

When the Golden Buddha arrived, Xu and the third wife sent one by one.

Xu didn't say anything, and said: "Buddhism tells people to cultivate the afterlife, and Taoism calls people immortality, all of which are just self-cultivation." Buddhist scriptures can be read, but don't change your temperament. Stick to your heart, don't believe in any nonsense of 'put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground', that is just a hypocrite to deceive himself. The Buddha exhorted people to be good, not to cover up their sins. ”

Shen Rui was upset and often copied Buddhist scriptures, and Xu was worried about this, so he had such words. is also because although Shen Rui is kind, it is for friends and lovers who accept it; For those who don't accept it, even if it's their biological grandmother and biological father, they haven't taken the initiative to mention it once in a few years. Shen Rui also has no resentment or resentment about the debts of his blood relatives, as if he didn't have those two relatives at all.

And for Shen Jin, the half-brother who should be cold-eyed, Shen Rui's way of getting along is also strange. It's not far or close, it's about the same as ordinary relatives, but if you want to say that he has a grudge in his heart, it doesn't mean that: but when he can help, Shen Rui didn't let go, and for a while he couldn't tell what he meant to the people on the other side of the fourth room?

Where could Xu have thought that Shen Rui was a second person, and he missed his relatives in his previous life, and he was just a stranger who could not be avoided by his blood relatives in this life; And Shen Jin is a shield against trouble for him, of course he doesn't want Shen Jin to fall, he still has to help if he can.

Because of this misunderstanding, Xu Shi was a little incomprehensible to Shen Rui's future actions. Despite this, the Xu family didn't want to dictate Shen Rui's future with his status as an elder, not because he was afraid that Shen Rui would not appreciate it, but because he was afraid of pointing Shen Rui the wrong way. Regardless of officialdom, being ruthless is not a bad thing, but there must always be a bottom line.

Shen Rui said: "Mother rest assured, I am willing to be a gentleman and a villain, but I can't treat human life as a mustard, and the profession of butcher is not suitable for me." ”

Xu smiled: "If it's really time to be forced to the door, I'd rather you be a butcher." It's just that when you enter the officialdom in the future, there will always be times when you take the initiative to do something for the purpose, and you can't say that there are also bad things. I hope that by then, you will remember my ramblings today. ”

Shen Rui nodded earnestly, remembering Xu's teachings.

When she arrived at the third wife's side, the third lady only thought it was a hollow Buddha statue at first, and did not take it to heart, but said: "Now in addition to Bai Xiao, Brother Rui should not hold back at home all the time, seeing that the weather is getting warmer, there are more people to go for a walk." ”

Shen Rui said: "It's convenient for me to go out whenever I go, and when the weather is warm in March, it is neither hot nor cold, you and your mother will also go to enjoy the flowers, and go out to relax." ”

The third wife said: "Don't worry, I'm also worried about this matter, I can't let my sister-in-law be sad at home like this." ”

When Shen Rui left, the third wife asked the maid to carry her to the Buddhist room, and she almost couldn't hold it, so she realized that it was solid.

The third wife was startled, and her heart was uneasy, and when her husband came back from office, she mentioned the matter: "I thought it was hollow, and I thought that I would accept it, only as a nephew's filial piety, who would have thought that this would be a solid ......"

The third master tried to hug the golden Buddha, but he felt that it was quite easy to touch. It's a little bigger, not delicate, but smaller can be used as a paperweight.

After listening to his wife's words, he waved his hand and said, "If you accept it, you will accept it, and when you hire a daughter-in-law in the future." This one alone is enough. ”

When he saw Shen Rui, the third master did not forget to remind: "Even if you want to scatter your wealth, don't just think about your family, don't forget that the eldest lady of the fifth room and Shen Li are the two of them who are really willing to protect you, and these two places should be short of silver." ”

Although the fifth room is rich, it is in Songjiang, among the Shen family, but it is nothing when it comes to the capital. In addition, with five rooms, three sons and one daughter, a large family lives together, and the cost is also large. Although Shen Ying has been out of office for several years, she has always been a Beijing official, and she still has no idle position at home, and there is no other income at home. Shen Qi and Shen Quan's brothers continued the imperial examination, whether they were studying, or becoming officials after the examination, they all had to be offered with silver.

As for Shen Li's side, he has never been a foreign official, he has never scraped the land, and his ancestors have no inheritance, so he depends on the Xie family's dowry to make up for it.

After Shen Rui retrieved the Golden Buddha, he had this plan, but he was still hesitating, and after listening to the words of the third master, he took this matter as a serious matter.

The next day, Shen Rui went to the upper room. Although the 50,000 taels of silver belonged to him, he also had the right to dispose of it himself, but he still told the Xu family.

Xu's opinion is the same as that of the third master, but in addition to Guo's and Shen's office, Xu's also mentioned the Wang family: "Although Wang Shilang's family has some industries, most of them are in their hometown, and there is no income in the capital." ”

Shen Rui listened, thought for a while, and said, "Auntie, do you want to keep one?" ”

Because of the matter of the Nanjing Guozi Priest Wine, the Shen He family has a disagreement in the end, if the silver money can be used to bridge the disagreement, Shen Rui is very willing, not to use the He family to gain any momentum, just because Xiao Xu is the Xu family's sister and her closest mother's family. Now that the Xu family has no husband, it would be pitiful for the mother's family to be estranged again.

Xu shook his head and said, "No need." Such a heavy ceremony, this is not a common practice, you have been in Beijing for four and a half years, these three families have a lot of love for you, and now there is a chance to repay one or two. As for ordinary gifts, you can't use this, otherwise you won't be able to give gifts next time. ”

After coming out of the upper room, Shen Rui directly took a golden Buddha to the fifth room.

This is the first time that Shen Rui has gone out after keeping filial piety, and when Guo sees Shen Rui, he can't help but feel distressed again. Shen Rui felt that his complexion was much better, and the strings in his head had tightened and tightened in the past few months, but later Shen Rui wanted to open it.

Seeing Shen Rui take out the Golden Buddha, Guo's reaction was the same as that of the third wife, only that Shen Rui was trying to solve the Xu family's this, and by the way, he remembered that his aunt came, and also sent a statue over. It's just that the third wife thinks it's gold, and Guo thinks it's gilded, after all, there are many Buddhist statues that are gilded with silver, and no one in ordinary people worships the pure golden Buddha.

Since it is Shen Rui's filial piety, Guo Shi will not fake his hands, and he will send his hands to the Buddha shrine by himself.

Shen Rui saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Guo Shi was still puzzled, and he picked up the Buddha statue and couldn't lift it until he realized that something was wrong.

Guo's face changed greatly, and he looked at Shen Rui and became serious: "Brother Rui, what the hell is going on?" ”

Guo has a straightforward personality, he is not a scheming person, and almost everything he thinks is written on his face. is nothing more than worrying that Shen Rui will take advantage of the housekeeper's interests to become greedy for a while and fill his own pockets.

Shen Rui said: "Auntie, don't worry, use the money left to me by my mother, and come to Lu Zheng." ”

Guo Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but still shook his head and said: "If it is the Silver Buddha, I will accept it, but this one cannot be accepted." You kid, after all, are still young, and you are used to being careless, and you don't treat money as money. When you don't have to use it seriously in the future, wouldn't you be in a hurry? ”

Shen Rui said: "My aunt has been in Beijing for four years, and I will pay tribute to this time." It's my heart, so don't push it back. Anyway, it is the nephew's private room that he honors his aunt, and he will leave it to his grandson in the future, or accompany Sister Fu'er, it is the aunt who has the final say. ”

Guo still refused to accept it, and said, "If you don't take it away, I will ask your third brother to send it to you when you go back." ”

Shen Rui said: "I brought something secretly, if I push it around, I will be robbed." ”

When Guo Shi heard this, he couldn't help but worry, so he no longer forced Shen Rui to take the Golden Buddha away. It's just that she didn't like it in the slightest, she just wanted to exist with Shen Rui here, and Shen Rui would use it again in the future.

Shen Li and Wang Shouren are both people who really care about Shen Rui, and their thoughts are similar to Guo's, so Shen Rui sent the three golden Buddhas out of the Lu very smoothly......
