There are a few masters in the Qiao family today, and there are no female dependents, so there is no need for the Xu family to come out to socialize. However, sending Qiao away is not a trivial matter, and the Xu family was a little worried that the Qiao family would have objections, so he sent someone to stare at the movement in front of him.

It wasn't until the little maid came in to reply that several masters of the Dao Qiao family had already left, and the Xu family was faintly relieved

It's not that I'm afraid of anything from the Qiao family, but I don't want to trouble. Now the Shen family and the Qiao family can't be said to be in a world of difference, and they are not in the same weight, if the Qiao family doesn't know what to do, the two families quarrel, and others look at it as if the Shen family is bullying the Qiao family.

After a while, Shen Cang came back, his face a little gloomy.

When Xu saw it, he couldn't help but worry: "Master, but the Qiao family is not going well?" ”

Qiao was confused, and after going to see Qiao's family, he opened his mouth to let Qiao's return. Qiao Er and Qiao San opened their mouths to stop them, but they couldn't stop them, and the brothers themselves became chaotic. Shen Cang frowned and said, "You send someone to ask, is this 'Dagui, is it Qiao's meaning?" If she really had this idea, what if it fulfilled her? ”

Taking Qiao's as a "recuperation" to Zhuangzi would have been considered a lenient treatment, if Qiao's was still not satisfied, then this Shen family wife would not have done it. Otherwise, it will always be a bane to stay with resentment.

Xu Shi was surprised: "Is it really Qiao's plan?" How dare Master Qiao respond to this? ”

In today's world, although the etiquette has collapsed, the more eunuchs are in the family, the more important it is to have that face.

Qiao's return, for the Shen family, is just a scandal for the people of the capital, but for the Qiao family, it is a disaster for several generations. Not only do daughters have to be picked on when they get married, but children and grandchildren want to marry women, and families with daughters also have to weigh them.

Shen Cang sneered: "Regardless of whether the Qiao family has a plan or not, Qiao Da seems to have made up his mind...... Keeping filial piety for half a year, I also knew that he urged his children and grandchildren to study and improve, he should have been able to grow a little longer, but he didn't expect to make a mistake again this time"

Men and women always look at things differently.

In Shen Cang's opinion, if Qiao's family wants to leave, let her go, although the reputation of the Shen family will be damaged for a while, but the benefits outweigh the disadvantages; The Xu family really doesn't believe in the character of the Qiao family, and after thirty years of concubine, it is for Shen Luo's sake, and the Xu family does not want the Qiao family to be fooled back to his parents' house to cheat the dowry, and end up eating with the face of the junior.

"Maybe it's just Qiao's selfishness? I heard that since the Qiao family split up, the life of the Qiao family's big house has not been easy......" Xu said.

There are distant relatives in people's hearts, and the Xu family feels that what happened thirty years ago is certainly the fault of the Qiao family, but in the final analysis, it is because Shen Zhou himself is not right. With his arrogance at that time and his disdain for the Sun family and Sun Min, even if there was no Qiao family, there would be Zhang family and Li family.

Shen Cang here, although he also admitted that his younger brother was wrong back then, but he was more angry with the Qiao family and the Qiao family.

"Even if Qiao is selfish, he can't make a slap. If she leaves, Madame must not stop her...... If you really want to talk about it, it is better for her to return than to send it to Zhuangzi. The second child has not been away for a few years, and there must always be a serious wife around to take care of the daily life......" Shen Cang said.

Xu sighed and didn't speak for Qiao's anymore, but just sent someone to the West Courtyard to inquire.

When the Qiao brothers and sisters spoke, there was a maid standing at the door, and then the sound was choked, and even the people in the yard heard the movement in the house.

When the servant woman came over and talked back, she heard that "Dagui" was just a proposal from Master Qiao, not only did Qiao not agree, but Qiao Second Master and Qiao Third Master also strongly objected, so Xu nodded. It is better to have more than less

Shen Cang is a man, and he has a deep brotherly relationship, he just thinks about pushing the boat down the river to send Qiao's away, but he doesn't know the right and wrong, and it can't be calmed down in a day or two. The Qiao family really wants to "return", and the younger generation will be affected, although it will not have a great impact like the Qiao family, but it will hinder the family name.

Why should the juniors of the Shen family bear the consequences in order to let Shen Zhou marry the bride again?

is for Shen Jue, there is an heir who made a big mistake and was "recuperated", and he can't blame him; It also saves a lot of trouble than the new heir mother of a similar age entering the door.

The other is Xu's selfishness, and he really doesn't want to look at Shen Zhou is to leave Qiao's alone.

As Shen Cang imagined, Shen Zhou put aside Qiao's family, married another good wife, and spent the rest of his life happily, which was too cheap for him. The two of them growing old together is the biggest punishment for Shen Zhou.

Shen Cang's face showed a look of pity.

The husband and wife were talking, when they saw Hongyun come in and said, "Master, wife, the second brother is here......"

At the end of April, the capital was already heating up, and the windows were open.

Xu Shi glanced out the window, saw that the sun was hot, and hurriedly said, "Quickly call the second brother in...... Then call the kitchen to pass the word, add a mustard cabbage, and the second brother's rice will be placed directly here......"

Hongyun answered, and Shen Rui then picked up the curtain and came in.

"Father, parents" Shen Rui has already changed into half-new home-style clothes, and after coming in, he will first greet Shen Cang and Xu.

Shen Rui is the pillar of the Shen family in the future, and Shen Cang and the Xu family did not hide the matter of sending Qiao's family.

Shen Cang said, "When did you not have class?" At that time, he took a day out of his work and sent the second wife out of the city. ”

If you want to say that it is okay to send the housekeeper directly, but Shen Cang still wants Shen Rui to practice more hands, not to blindly study. Although the career of the imperial examination is important, it will only be a scholar, not a person, and it will not go far.

"The day after tomorrow will be empty." Shen Rui hesitated: "But do you want to take the third brother with you?" ”

Shen Cang frowned and thought for a while: "Forget it." The hospital exam is important, don't let him be distracted......"

The unspoken reason is that Shen Jue is the heir in the end, bound by the status of mother and son, if Qiao's is sent away, it will only make Shen Jue embarrassed and embarrassed.

Shen Rui came here to pass the word.

On the way back from official school, Shen Rui also thought of Shen Yan's intentions.

He took the initiative to hand over the handle, which can be regarded as an alternative "vote". If Shen Cang didn't even accept this, then their brothers would have to make other plans as soon as possible, and they wouldn't have to hang on the road of the imperial examination. Only by virtue of their brother's current identity, one lifter and one student, if they return to their hometown, they can also be the gods of peace.

Shen Yan didn't beat around the bush, nor did he exert himself from the sect's side, but directly handed over their brothers' fame and future to Shen Cang, which was so bold. It is estimated that he also understands in his heart that no matter how hard he tries on the side, he will not be able to go around Shangshu Mansion at the very least.

When Shen Rui said that Shen Yan's brothers went to study outside the palace and waited for themselves, Shen Cang and Xu's faces were a little unsightly.

Even after listening to Shen Rui's words, Shen Cang had a sneer on his face: "Come to the door to ask for guilt? If you really have a sense of shame, you should go to Xuezheng to ask for guilt, and pretend to be famous for three generations in addition to now, but use this as an excuse to wait for the door to enter the room, which is really cheeky."

The Xu family was a little surprised, even if they knew that Brother Shen Yan was the great-grandson of the old lady, they had no intention of recognizing their relatives here, so they naturally wouldn't inquire about anything wrong with the two brothers' official names.

Shen Yan's move was really bold. Now that they know this, if they have the heart to attack their brothers, they can make them fall into the dust without the slightest effort.

"Brother Rui, I heard that this Shen Yan taught you in the clan science back then, what do you think of him?" Xu said with a little curiosity.

At the age of nineteen, even in the place where the scholars of Nanzhili gathered, it can be called golden. Although he was born in a lonely and cold background, because he was young, it was not too late to land in the third or fifth entrance examination, even if there was no master Qiao San, someone else would rob him as a son-in-law.

"He is gentle, gentlemanly, and very patient in teaching, and he doesn't know much else...... The child's days in the clan study are really not long......" Shen Rui replied as he thought.

Back then, he felt that Shen Yan acted in a very orderly manner, and if he mixed with officialdom in the future, he would definitely be like a fish in water. Now that a few years have passed, although Shen Yan has not been outstanding, he has a reputation for being a meritorious person, and he is already a reserve official, and he can be qualified to fill the vacancy.

Shen Cang heard this and "snorted": "Is it a gentle gentleman?" That must be a hypocrite."

Shen Cang ridiculed repeatedly, and Xu and Shen Rui couldn't help but look sideways.

Shen Cang hasn't seen Shen Yan yet, so he is so disgusted, why? is so moody, it's a little different from him.

In fact, Shen Cang did hold back the raging fire in his heart, but he didn't rush at Shen Yan, but Shen Yan thought of Master Qiao San.

He always thought that although Master Qiao San was a little smoother, he still had some human feelings, since he had seen Master Qiao San's morality,

In front of him is a wife and heir, there is no one else, even if Shen Cang thinks of it, he doesn't suppress it, and says with a little anger: "Today, I can finally understand that Qiao San made a special trip to pick that kid as his son-in-law, where is the cherishing of talents?" He is Xiang Zhuang dancing the sword, intended to be Pei Gong, if the two brothers are accepted here, his move is to kiss and kiss; If this side is afraid of the brothers, they will try to appease him, so that they can use his hand to suppress the brothers...... Since he is a scholar, how can he not see the inappropriateness of the Shen brothers' status? It must be a handle to hold, and he wants to use this to hold the two brothers hostage, he wants to calculate the two boys to follow him, and he wants to plot against our family, but he is looking for death

When Xu and Shen Rui heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

I didn't think about it this way before, and I didn't think that Master Qiao San's move of choosing Shen Yan as his son-in-law had another meaning, but I just felt that he was a little ignorant of current affairs, even if he knew the relationship between Shen Yan and Shangshufu, he shouldn't continue this family business; I had to drag it, and I got the nod of Second Master Shen again, which was too persistent, and it looked like he really valued Shen Yan.

But if he really valued Shen Yan, he should have tried to solve Shen Yan's troubles when he was in Nanjing. He was in the territory of Nanzhili, and he had to go to various prefectures to preside over the annual examination, and when he was stationed in Songjiang Mansion, it was easy to intercede for the Shen Yan brothers in front of the Shen clan.

"Father can think of this, Shen Yan is afraid that he will also have a good taste...... No wonder the child thinks that his move is like a shipwreck, leaving no way back, it turns out that he knows that the two brothers are trapped by Master Qiao San, and there is no way back at all. Shen Rui said.

Xu Shi also sighed: "This Qiao San himself is also a step by step test of fame, but now he wants to use his fame to calculate people, this is not a thing, the two brothers have been successful repeatedly, it is an excellent luck, but when I meet Qiao San, it is a curse and not a blessing......"

Nancheng, Shen family.

Shen Yan and Shen brothers were rarely at home, so they went to the main room to have lunch with Bai, and laughed with Bai for a while before returning to the study. Shen wants to review his homework, and Shen Yan does the teaching schedule.

Shen Yan has not been in Chunshan Academy for a long time, he is also young, he can teach carefully, and he is patient with students. Now there are several students who have enrolled in his "small class", and they have saved more than thirty or forty taels of silver, which can already be used at home without using their savings.

Although Nancheng Academy is known as a civilian academy, where can the really poor people have money for their children to study? Those who can send their sons to Nancheng Academy are mainly the children of scholarly families and wealthy businessmen and gentry, and they are not stingy with lazy silver.

Shen Yan, the master, was very fond of it, and he seemed to enjoy it.

Since he met Shen Rui, Shen has always been in suspense, seeing that his brother is so calm, he hesitated: "Big brother, will Shen Shangshu agree to see the eldest brother......
