Volume 1 - Who Have You Seen Again Chapter 98 Sheep and Wolves (1)
The news that the eldest lady of the second room went home to save her relatives spread throughout the Shen family that night. The news of the untimely death of Shen Luo, the lone seedling in the second room, was also known by the heads of the houses, which attracted many people's thoughts. Whether it is stammering or "comforting", the ladies of each room can't wait to rush to the sect room immediately to meet this concubine.
However, because when I got the news, it was before and after dinner, and there was no reason to visit the door at night, so I could only endure the restlessness in my heart.
There are only four rooms here, whether it is Zhang Lao'an or Shen Juren, they haven't heard about it yet, even if Shen Rui knows, he won't tell them this.
At this moment, Shen Rui was in his room, with a calm face, looking at the few boxes that had been picked open, and laughing angrily.
On the side, a few of them were given by the teacher. He was a thief back then, but now he has Yuko, and he is blatantly robbing?
Shen Rui said coldly: "I asked clearly, is it someone from Lao An, or is it someone from the old man?" ”
Dong Xi said: "It was Tian's mother who brought a few people here, saying that the cat in Lao Anren's room could not be found, and she came to look for the cat." ”
Zhang Laoan has two mothers around him, one surnamed Hao and the other surnamed Tian. In the early years, Hao's mother was the most beautiful, but now it looks like this Tian's mother is coming from behind.
Looking for a cat in a locked box?
"What's missing? Can they all be counted? Shen Rui asked.
Dong Xi's face was not good-looking, but he really didn't expect Zhang Lao'an to do this: "The four clothes that the eldest lady gave the second brother were newly cut, and only the second brother was left; There are two sets of middle clothes and jackets missing. The second brother changed out of the old clothes, there was not a single one left, and even the box was carried away. The seven inkstones in the other box were cooked with two knives, and the two boxes of new books were taken. And the box containing the broken pieces of silver and the money was empty, and there were eighteen taels of silver in it. ”
Shen Rui felt disgusted in his heart, if he was new, he could still exchange it for money, and the old clothes that were changed were all plain cloth clothes worn when he was filial piety, and they were not worth a few dollars. Even if Zhang Laoan doesn't open his eyes again, he won't be like this, most of it is Natian's mother who makes her own decisions. She has a little grandson, who is about the same age as Shen Rui, who was originally a scholar for Shen Rui, and later worked as a servant in the study.
"The box with something valuable, hidden?" Shen Ruidao.
Dongxi nodded and sighed: "The maid thinks that it is all good things, if it is really taken away by the elder over there, even if it is good to ask for it back, if it can't be brought back, it won't be sulky." I didn't expect it to be in vain. ”
The most important box contains not only some gold and jade gifts that Shen Rui has saved in recent years, but also Zhuang tickets, deeds with Dongxi and Liu Ya, Liu Cheng's books, and Shen Li's IOU.
Shen Rui breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't think it through. He only thought that the two would come to his house to look through it, but they just opened it, in case the mother-in-law and maid-in-law took advantage of the sheep, who would have thought that Zhang Lao'an would be so disrespectful.
"Let's go, carry the empty box, go to the master's study" Shen Rui snorted coldly and stood up.
Dongxi and Liu Ya also knew that this was not something they could bear, so they had to carry the empty box to follow.
Shen Rui glanced at Dong Xi: "You still stay, just let a few of them go with me." ”
Dong Xi's face flushed, but he didn't follow: "Or the second brother is still called Changshou and Liu Cheng and the two follow?" ”
Shen Rui thought about it and sent someone to call Changshou and Liu Cheng.
Knowing that something was "lost" here, Changshou and Liu Cheng couldn't help but be indignant.
Although Changshou didn't go out with Shen Rui today, he protected Dongxi and Liu Ya, and went to the temple fair with the people in the fifth room. When Shen Rui and the others went to the teahouse, he was going out with a few servants in the fifth room to protect a few maids, and he never saw the eldest lady in the second room. But on the way back, I had already heard Liu Cheng mention it.
Although Shen Rui already has two backers, Shen Li and Guo's two backers, but Shen Li is far away in the capital, and Guo is in charge of Shen Rui's industry, so there are many places to avoid suspicion, and it is not good to worry too much about money and four rooms, otherwise it seems to be for the sake of money.
The eldest lady of the second room is different, her status is high enough, and her origin is deep enough, just enough to speak for Shen Rui.
It's just that I heard that she didn't treat Shen Rui differently, so her longevity is a little uncertain. No matter how sincere the eldest lady of the second room is to Shen Rui, while this big Buddha is there, she can take the opportunity to make a fuss and let the outside look at the faces of the mother and son in the fourth room.
Shen Rui's idea coincides with longevity.
Although there is an old saying that "family ugliness should not be publicized", the affairs of the fourth room really can't be hidden, otherwise only you will suffer. Shen Rui also wanted to test what kind of attitude the eldest lady in the second room had towards him.
Changshou and Liu Cheng carried a messy and half-empty clothes box, Liu Ya and Xiao Tao carried a small empty box, Xiao Xing held an empty money box, and followed Shen Rui to the study.
Shen Juren had already gotten the news and knew that Mrs. Tian had gone to Shen Rui's courtyard, although he felt that Lao Anren had acted inappropriately, he didn't pay too much attention to it.
In Shen Juren's opinion, Shen Rui's half-moon life at home was loose, as if he was a guest boarding a foreigner, so that he knew that it was good for the elders and the young to be respectful and humble. If Shen Rui thought that he could rely on the Guo family, he could not put his grandmother and father in his eyes, then he was very wrong, this father and son are family, who can say anything? If the Guo family wants to come out stronger, the four rooms are not very afraid, and it is impossible to say that they can take over the Shen Rui industry, and the province will let the Guo family take advantage.
He just got Fourth Sister Zhang, and when he couldn't let go, he was in a trance all day, and he even threw aside the matter of hiring the He family. After the people took the lewd objects from the outer house, they were ape-like, looking forward to playing tricks when it was dark.
This morning, because of being hit by the blue grass, Fourth Sister Zhang was here, he had a blue grass, but he also knew that if he wanted to have fun with Fourth Sister Zhang, others could hide it, and a few maids in the yard couldn't hide it.
The winter moon is timid, only submissive; Chunyue is clever, she has already heard it from the words, and scolded twice in her heart "Rotten face and cheap whore", her face was delicate and soft, and her eyes were watery and aimed straight at Shen Juren's crotch.
Shen Juren had a lustful heart, and he was immediately hooked out of the fire, and he didn't send Dongyue out of the air, pulled Chunyue to his lap, and rubbed two handfuls in her arms. Chunyue laughed eatingly, and Dongyue was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look up.
Shen Juren saw that these two beautiful maids were pretty, one was delicate, and the other was a lovely Fourth Sister Zhang, and he only felt that he had not lived in vain in his life. Thinking like this, he threw away his reluctant thoughts, and spent money when he thought about spending money, and transferred the household registration of Zhang Sanjie and Zhang Sijie as soon as possible, so that he could act with less scruples.
Thinking of Fourth Sister Zhang's appearance last night, Shen Juren couldn't help it, and couldn't wait to immediately pull Fourth Sister Zhang out of the courtyard of Lao Anren. It's just that he didn't get dizzy in the end, he glanced at the two little maids, and hesitated whether to put out the fire first, or to recharge his energy and wait for the night to attract Fourth Sister Zhang to come, so as to toss and toss the little whore.
Thinking that Fourth Sister Zhang would rather bear the name of a widow for nothing and never marry, Shen Jusheng felt a little pity, but his lust disappeared a little, and he lost his interest in mixing with the little maid, and pushed the spring moon away wistfully.
Chunyue had the idea of competing for favor, and knew that one had gone, and it was a "strong enemy" who came, and she was in a hurry, and she didn't get dressed, she stepped forward with her chest half open, and said in a coquettish voice: "Master......"
Shen Juren only felt that she was too unbearable, so he shook her off, and just as Su Rong was about to scold, he heard a sound of footsteps outside.
Xiao Tian Sheng came and said, "Master, the second brother is here." ”
Shen Juren couldn't help frowning when he heard this, seeing that Chunyue was still disheveled, Tian Sheng's eyes looked at Chunyue's chest again, and he was immediately annoyed, and scolded Chunyue: "The cheap maid hasn't rolled behind the screen to avoid, which one is this to seduce?" ”
Chunyue was scolded in front of her, where could she stand it on her face, tears came out immediately, and she didn't dare to cry, so she immediately covered her face and went behind the screen.
Shen Juren glared at Tian Sheng again, his face was not good, thinking that this kid couldn't stay. Although the hair has not yet grown, it has already become colorful, and let him be on an errand in the study again, and he can't say that his hat will be green one day. Although the study is in the front yard, in the end, it is your own residence, and you have your own maidservant, and there is no three-foot child in it.
Tian Sheng was stunned, knowing that he had accidentally committed a taboo for a while, thinking that Shen Rui asked someone to carry the empty boxes, most of which were complaints, so he said: "Master, the second brother is so loud that he brought a few empty boxes over." ”
When Shen Juren heard this, he was really turned around, his brows were furrowed, and he picked up the curtain and went out.
When I got to the courtyard, I saw Shen Rui standing there with his hands down, followed by male and female servants, with boxes and boxes. Shen Juren's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "What is this doing? ”
Zhang Lao'an is unkind to toss his grandson, but if his grandson does not obey discipline, he is unfilial. The servants behind Shen Rui can't be regarded as four-room, this commotion is going to make the clansmen see the four-room jokes?
At this moment, Shen Juren didn't know whether to complain about Zhang Laoan's trouble, or whether to complain about Shen Rui's unfilial piety.
Shen Rui didn't seem to see Shen Juren's ugly face, but said with anger on his face: "Master, if there are really no rules in this house, the next person can raid the master's house There is such an arrogant and arrogant servant, taking advantage of his son's absence, he blatantly raided his son's house, it is really appalling, appalling."
Shen Juren didn't react for a while, and Tian Sheng next to him was so frightened that he almost urinated. He originally thought that Shen Rui was here to sue Zhang Lao'an and beg Shen Juren to help make the decision, but he didn't expect Shen Ruiti to mention Lao An's people, and pointed the finger at Tian's mother who took people to turn over the house today.
Shen Rui continued: "If it is a petty theft, three melons and two dates, it will not be so annoying." But Mrs. Tian's behavior is too rampant, Aunt Hong took away all the new winter clothes for her son, and the old clothes were not left, is this to let her son Ming'er go to school naked? The brothers of the six clans gave the four treasures of the study, but they were not seen. The monthly money box is not left, and there is no copper plate left. Three years ago, if there was no collusion between the people who lost their conscience and the Zhang family, the family would not have suffered a big loss. The old man was kind-hearted, so he didn't pursue them, but they became more and more long-faced. The lessons of the past are still there, and it is really difficult to prevent thieves......"
Shen Juren originally thought that Zhang Lao'an's side was only a visible silver and other things, but he deliberately didn't care about it, and he also wanted to see how Shen Rui would deal with it.
Just as Shen Rui could think of the relationship between the dowry and the dowry, he could naturally think of it. He didn't think that he wanted to prepare more money for the dowry, but he felt that he couldn't lose face in front of the He family. If you want the He family to see, even if they bought those two weaving factories by fraud, it is nothing to the fourth room.
There is a lot of money on the books, and where this dowry money comes from is gone.
There is not much money in the public account, and the property under Shen Jin's name has some income, but he goes to school and says that he needs silver everywhere, and it is not good to embezzle it, and the rest of the people who can count on it are Zhang Lao'an and Shen Rui.
Zhang Laoanren and Shen Juren are biological mother and son, and after the relationship between mother and son has become thinner and thinner in recent years, only silver is left in their eyes. It was the Zhang family who came to fight the autumn breeze, and Zhang Lao'an no longer let go. Besides, Zhang Laoan's savings in his early years were mostly subsidized to his mother's family, or to buy property, and the current silver was taken by Shen Juren as early as three years ago to make up for the silver arrears of the third and ninth rooms. In the past few years, Shen Juren has not let her take over the family affairs, and there is no place to make money.
In this way, the only thing Shen Juren could count on was Shen Rui's side.
However, in the end, Lao Tzu couldn't erase it and asked his son for money, so he was willing to let Zhang Laoan be a "pioneer".
I really didn't expect that Zhang Laoan was old and confused, and he would do things so ugly. went to explore Shen Rui's details, took the silver money, and caused Shen Rui to squeak, and made such a big noise.
Parents should not have private wealth in their children, even if Shen Rui gets the dowry of the Sun family, he is also a four-room child and grandchild. If you really fight with the elders for a few coins, you can't help but know who is right and wrong outside.
But Mrs. Tian acted too arrogantly, not only took money, but also brought clothes.
Behind this dress, there is still a pull. If it is spread outside, few people will ask why Shen Rui's clothes are prepared for the fifth room, and why the fourth room does not even prepare clothes for Shen Rui.
It was true that Shen Juren didn't expect it for a while, and then he turned a blind eye and didn't ask someone to make up for it, also to save some chewing, after all, the family's income has decreased significantly in recent years.
It's not good to talk about this matter outside, otherwise the black pot of "mistreating his son-in-law" will fall on his head.
If you want to say that the four treasures of the study, Lao An people will let people take them away, and Shen Juren believes it; If you want to say that Shen Rui's clothes were looted by someone from Lao An, Shen Juren didn't believe it, it must be that the black-hearted woman was greedy and took advantage of Lao Anren's name.
This is a slave, and you can't let it go
