The fourth room was in a mess at this time.

Although Mrs. Yuan's wife Xiao He has never seen the Zhang family since she entered the door, she has heard about the Zhang family, not to mention that she just arrested an unserious Fourth Sister Zhang not long ago, and she has no good impression of the Zhang family.

When Uncle Zhang came with his two sons, Xiao He avoided it early under the pretext that it was inconvenient to see a foreign man because he was young.

Who knew that after a while, the mother-in-law and maid screamed and ran to report that Lao An had fainted.

Xiao He's couldn't avoid anything, while sending someone to ask for a doctor and find Shen Jin to come back, he hurried to the front hall, and asked the stout mother-in-law to carry Zhang Lao'an to the Arhat couch in the ear room, and personally pinched Lao An's heart and rubbed his heart.

Uncle Zhang pulled his neck to the house to see how his sister was, his two sons were frightened at first, and then they heard that they just fainted and didn't lose their breath, so they were not afraid, and began to touch all over the house, pulling those valuable ornaments into their arms, and tried to break into the backyard, but were stopped by the steward.

The two brothers scolded and returned to the front hall, and even complained that Xiao He did not carry Lao Anren back to the room.

If the Lao An people return to the house, they can borrow the introduction to follow up, and there must be a lot of valuable things in the Lao An people's bedroom, in case they can make another windfall like the sister Yan Niang.

When Shen Yuan and his party came back, the front hall was like a thief, and it was "looted" clean.

Uncle Zhang and his entourage, seeing Shen Yuan's father and son, were somewhat uneasy, and they couldn't sit still, so they all stood up and laughed. Second Master Zhang also pressed the things in his arms hard, afraid that something would come wrong.

Shen Yuan's father and son didn't bother to take care of them, and went straight to the old man in the ear room.

Uncle Zhang and Second Master Zhang breathed a sigh of relief at that time, sat back, and sorted out the things they put in their arms.

Uncle Zhang raised his feet to follow, but was stopped by the people led by Shen Jin, and the little ridicule turned into anger again, and he went to sit aside with anger.

In the ear room, the doctor administered an injection to Zhang Laoan.

Zhang Laoan woke up, but his mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, his mouth could not speak, and his body could not move.

The doctor shook his head, saying that Lao An had already had a stroke last time, and he was supposed to recuperate and not be excited, but he was strongly stimulated just now before he had a stroke again. And the stroke is getting worse and worse every time, and it is hard to say whether Lao An can recover to be able to speak and move his body, but he is worry-free for a while.

Father and son breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did Shen Yuan think of accountability, and said angrily to Xiao He's family: "What the hell is going on? That's how you are filial to your mother-in-law? ”

Xiao He's heart rate was exhausted when he ate Lao Anren, so he only waved his hand and said: "There are outsiders at home, and the concubine is young and avoids, but I don't know how it has become like this." After that, he ignored Shen Yuan, saying that he was going to serve Lao Anren, and directly asked the servants to take soft pockets and carry Lao Anren backyard together.

Shen Yuan still listened to the mother-in-law who had been following Lao Anren tell the whole process.

Uncle Zhang came to the door with his two sons to see Shen Yuan and Shen Jin, but they were not at home, Xiao He avoided it, and Zhang Lao'an took a housekeeper to come out to see his younger brother in person.

When Uncle Zhang came up, he accused his sister of treachery, and said that the grange he had given him was now taken away by the Shen family with the deed, and he also kicked out his family.

Zhang Laoan was shocked and angry, it was a grange written in her name, what right did the Shen family have to take it? Moreover, didn't Tian Qimo lose it again? It was obviously handed over to his son Shen Yuan, how could it be in the hands of the Shen family?

Uncle Zhang said: "Auntie, what about the stewards of your four rooms, can there be any mistakes?" I heard that my cousin violated the clan rules, fined the family property, and gave him fifty rods, oh, I heard that the ancestral hall will be closed. Cousin isn't there right now? Don't let you come back to recuperate after taking the board? Directly close the ancestral hall, this is to kill my cousin. ”

Zhang Lao'an didn't know about his son's punishment before, and when he heard this, he was so angry that he fainted as soon as he rolled his eyes.

The four rooms were in chaos, and they were all busy rescuing Zhang Laoan.

The uncle and the second master of the Zhang family were busy taking advantage of the chaos to get more things.

Shen Jin frowned when he heard this, sent the servant woman down, and asked Shen Yuan in a low voice: "Even if our family pays compensation, how can we also pay all the dowries of Lao An's people?" Isn't it that the wife's dowry and property have not been compensated? ”

Shen Yuan said vaguely: "Your wife is talking to the He family first...... Your mother's dowry has been lost, how much is Lao Anren's dowry worth? That's not Lao Anren's dowry, and it's also posterior. ”

Shen Jin asked again: "Since it is the dowry of Lao Anren, how did it give it to the uncle of the Zhang family?" ”

Shen Yuan was a little embarrassed at first, and then said angrily: "It's not a good thing that your aunt did!" ”

On the same day, Aunt Zheng learned that Shen Yuan and Fourth Sister Zhang were unruly, so in order not to affect her son's reputation, she immediately made a decision and bought Third Sister Zhang and Fourth Sister Zhang as adopted daughters from Zhang's family for 1,000 taels, and quickly resold the two far away.

The Zhang family heard some rumors, so they came to trouble the Shen family.

Shen Yuan negotiated with Uncle Zhang, and finally allowed Uncle Zhang to take care of the Zhuangzi in the name of a Zhang Lao'an person in the south of the city, and the Zhang family moved to the Grange, and the annual interest of the Grange was used for the Zhang family's expenses.

When the Zhuangzi Zhang family accompanied the delivery, it was only one hundred and twenty acres, and it was Zhang Lao'an who got the silver from his daughter-in-law Sun in the early years, and slowly expanded to six hectares of land, and the annual income was more than 300 taels.

Shen Yuan promised that after Uncle Zhang's 100 years later, the 120 acres that the Zhang family originally accompanied would also be owned by the Zhang brothers.

Uncle Zhang didn't make trouble anymore, and he had nothing to do with each other all these years.

Yesterday's clan meeting, the four rooms lost silver, Shen Yuan was reluctant to be reluctant, picky, thinking of the Zhuangzi that was occupied by the Zhang family, every year the interest was asked to be taken away by the Zhang family, and it was useless for him to keep it, especially remembering that Zhang Sijie was arrested by Jinyiwei not long ago, and he was almost wiped out, Shen Yuan was even more disgusted with the Zhang family, and no longer wanted the Zhang family to suck blood in his own grange, so he simply lost this Zhuangzi first, and the market price of six hectares of land was also seven or eight thousand taels of silver, which was a lot.

The Zhang family was kicked out of Zhuangzi, and then he found the Shen family.

Shen Yuan would not explain it to his son in such detail, but Shen Jin was so smart, when he heard his father talk about his aunt, he guessed that Shen Yuan gave compensation to the Zhang family when Aunt Zheng sold the third and fourth sisters of the Zhang family.

Shen Yuan angrily whispered a few words, and when he saw that Shen Jin didn't pick up, he felt bored again, and viciously shouted that Shen Jin called someone to carry him to the front hall to meet the Zhang family.

Since Shen Yuan dared to give the Zhuangzi that the Zhang family occupied, he had already figured out how to deal with the Zhang family. This time he entered the front hall, Shen Yuan made a full momentum, and preemptively shouted: "Uncle, what do you mean by this, don't you know that my mother is old and needs to recuperate?" ”

Uncle Zhang had been worried that if his sister was angry to death, the two families would become enemies in the future, not to mention that he couldn't get down if he ran for nothing today, but it was not easy to fight the autumn wind in the future, and he was worried for a while, and when the doctor came out and said that his sister was not dead, he returned to his heart and exhaled a long breath.

Seeing his nephew's menacing appearance at this time, Uncle Zhang's eyelids drooped, and he only asked, "Nephew, have you come out of the ancestral hall?" ”

Shen Yuan was even more unhappy when he was exposed, snorted coldly, and said sharply: "I won't come out, my mother doesn't know what to be angry about!" He pounded the spring stool again, and said hatefully: "Uncle knows that I am in the ancestral hall, and I am here to trouble my mother?" ”

Old Uncle Zhang's eyelids lifted and snorted: "I was looking for the champion master, but who knew that he was not there." As he spoke, he squeezed out a smile at Shen Jin: "Brother Jin, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have become the champion prince, I have long said that Brother Jin is the Wenqu star, and he is extraordinary at a young age......"

Shen Yuan interrupted his sycophancy, and said with a straight face: "What is my uncle here for?" ”

When Uncle Zhang saw that he was pretending to be confused, he was angry, and his face was lowered: "Don't you know nephew?" Your uncle has called someone out of the village. I'd like to ask my nephew what's going on. ”

Shen Yuan sneered: "Ask me what to do, ask the two cousins to know." My mother has to tell me. ”

This time it was indeed the two sons who were reckless, Uncle Zhang couldn't help but feel weak, his face was a little unbearable, Uncle Zhang coughed on the side, and asked cautiously: "Cousin, was you really punished by the clan?" My cousin is the father of the champion......"

Shen Yuan snorted, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Don't talk about those useless ones." I didn't mean to collect the grange, my uncle found the wrong person. Now I have nothing, and it's useless for my uncle to come to me. ”

Before the words fell, the uncle and the second master of the Zhang family jumped up and said, "Why is there nothing?!" You are such a big business, you are still an official in Yangzhou......"

Shen Yuan's face was even worse when he mentioned this stubble, and shouted: "Enough! The Shen family doesn't owe you anything! You have taken the income of Zhuangzi for so many years, and the previous 1,000 taels of silver, which should be enough. ”

Uncle Zhang immediately howled: "Pity my third sister and fourth sister...... This person who can't see anyone alive or die can't see a corpse, there is no reason for two little ladies to say that if it's gone, it's gone, so that people can't tarnish their innocence......"

"Enough! Hugh wants to mention Fourth Sister Zhang again! What did you Zhang teach you! Shen Yuanqing burst into flames and couldn't help but scold.

Seeing this farce, Shen Jin was expressionless, and said slowly: "It's easy for uncle to want to see the fourth sister. ”

Old Uncle Zhang was stunned, his eyes rolled, and he said, "Then call the fourth sister out!" Your Shen family is unkind and unjust, I want to take the fourth sister and the third sister away! ”

The second uncle of the Zhang family also nodded hurriedly, but he had already calculated that the two daughters were old, and they were broken when they thought about it, and they couldn't sell them at a good price, but they were all good-looking, and they could lie that they were young widows, and they went to the countryside to find a rich man or something, and they married to be a stepfamily, and they also had a good dowry to take.

Shen Jin said coldly: "I don't have the ability to call it." I also have to bother my uncle and the two uncles to go to the yamen to find the brocade guard and say that they will meet the fourth sister. ”

The three members of the Zhang family were all shocked, "Jinyiwei?!" ”

Jin Yiwei has been demonized among the people, and he is afraid that he will be a little more surprised when he hears about Jin Yiwei than when he hears about the underworld.

The second master of the Zhang family twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "The eldest nephew can't scare us." The fourth sister is a little lady, and she is involved with Jinyiwei. ”

Seeing their cowardice, Shen Yuan completely forgot that he was also afraid of Jinyi Wei Ruhu at the beginning, sneered, and sneered: "Your girl is very capable. She made an outer room for Yan Baowen, a staff member of the prefect's house! Yan Baowen colluded with him...... "He was full of hatred and carelessness, and he almost told the fourth sister Zhang who he heard that night calling King Ning."

Fortunately, Shen Jin pulled him in time, and quickly took over the words and said: "Yan Baowen colluded with the Japanese Kou, and Fourth Sister Zhang acted as a tiger, and it has been discovered by Jinyiwei and arrested in the yamen." If the uncle and the two uncles don't believe it, they will find out by asking in the yamen. ”

Shen Jin sank his face and said, "I have to ask the eldest uncle about the fourth sister." ”

Uncle Zhang opened his mouth, but he didn't spit out a word, but he still closed it.

Old Uncle Zhang eased his nerves, and made a plan to mourn the soldiers, and he was able to cry when he ran to seventy, and the tears flowed down when he spoke, and said to Shen Yuan: "Nephew, look at your uncle, look at your two cousins, and a few nephews of yours at home, we have no house in this house, and there is no ridge in the land, how can we live......

Shen Yuan sneered: "The two cousins are both forty people, and the big and small nephews are also young, and they can't do anything yet?" Most of the people in the market are orphans and widows, how do people live? When he arrived at the Zhang family, the man couldn't live? It's just lazy and greedy, and he doesn't do business. You only think that the Shen family is a piece of fat, and you can support you for a lifetime?! What kind of hysteria does it have? ”

Uncle Zhang couldn't help but blush, and Uncle Zhang smiled shyly: "It's not that we don't have the ability to do this as our cousin......"

Shen Yuan didn't listen to their verbosity anymore, "The Shen family doesn't owe you, and I, Shen Yuan, don't owe you, how much you have taken from my Shen Yuan's family property over the years, you know for yourself!" Now you still dare to bully me and make me so angry that I have a stroke, what an uncle! Let me tell you, if my mother has three long and two short, I will not be finished with your Zhang family! ”

The three of the Zhang family, father and son, didn't get a tael of silver, where are they willing, they still need to be entangled.

Shen Jin said with a straight face: "Uncle, the two families are relatives, I will advise, if I am you, I will go far away as soon as possible." This encyclical is the sin of the Nine Clans. Yan Baowen is a widow, the Yan family has been wiped out, Fourth Sister Zhang is Yan Baowen's outer room, do you say, will the Zhang family be implicated? ”

When the three members of the Zhang family heard this, they panicked like five thunderbolts, and reluctantly said: "No, it's not ......."

Shen Jin said: "Then why don't you go to the yamen and ask about it?" ”

Uncle Zhang's tears really came down now, and he went straight to Shen Yuan and Shen Jin and said, "Nephew, nephew!" My lord, you can't ignore your uncle! My champion, you can't ignore your uncle......"

Shen Yuan was prompted by his son, and his brain immediately improved, and he said with a cold face: "Uncle, I'm just a lifter. Even if Brother Jin is an official, he is also a six-grade official, where does he dare to care about Jinyiwei? Uncle, let's make plans ahead of time. ”

Uncle Zhang is even more at a loss, the two brothers of the Zhang family are also full of decadence, and the people feel that Jinyiwei is a big man who has reached the sky, and it is true that the Shen family can't control Jinyiwei with a champion.

Shen Jin said: "Now that the adults of Qincha and Jinyiwei are still in Songjiang, my uncle and grandfather will find out when they go out on the street to inquire, and in my opinion, Xu has not yet concluded the case." Uncle and Mrs. Yu hurriedly packed up his things and went out to avoid them for a few years, and then talked about it when this matter was completely over. Don't delay, when the trial arrives at Fourth Sister Zhang, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if I want to. ”

Old Uncle Zhang couldn't, so he discussed a few words with his two sons in a low voice, and asked Shen Yuan with a shy face to ask for some travel expenses.

Shen Yuan was even more impatient, he had too many things on the Zhang family, but he didn't get any benefits, and he almost got into trouble because of Fourth Sister Zhang, so he said angrily: "Did my uncle settle my mother's soup and medicine fees?" ”

Uncle Zhang also had nothing to say, and finally slipped away with his two sons.

Shen Yuan couldn't get up, Shen Jin was in charge of sending off guests, and let the three of Uncle Zhang say all the good things with their tongues, Shen Jin just looked serious, and reminded him from time to time that "the yamen will open the trial and say it is fast and fast", and the three of them were shocked, and they didn't dare to be verbose.

After sending the Zhang family away, Shen Jin immediately called his confidant and asked him to keep an eye on the Zhang family until the Zhang family left Songjiang to report the news.

After returning to the inner house, Shen Jin asked Shen Yuan to be carried to see Zhang Lao'an, so that Lao'an could rest assured.

Zhang Laoan's mouth was saliva, he couldn't speak clearly, and the only arm that could move pointed straight at his son.

Shen Yuan was also uncomfortable in his heart, and he couldn't help hating the Zhang family even more. He hurriedly asked people to carry him over, grabbed Lao Anren's hand, and comforted: "Mother, my son is fine, but I will come out in three or five days, just like when I was a child, I couldn't memorize the book well and my mother punished me to kneel in the ancestral hall, it's okay mother." Mother, you're fine, you're in a hurry, the doctor said, as long as you recuperate, you'll get better day by day. I'll come out, and my mother will be fine......"

Xiao He's eyes couldn't help but turn red on the side, and he hurriedly covered the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

Shen Jin was also very sad, and seeing that Shen Yuan was still appeasing Lao Anren, he gestured to Xiao He's and asked her to come out and speak.

Xiao He's understood, and when he came out, Shen Jin briefly told the Zhang family about it. He is about to go to Beijing, Shen Yuan was imprisoned in the ancestral hall, and there was only one Xiao He left in the family, and he had to let Xiao He know what was going on with the Zhang family, and he would be able to deal with it in case the family came back.

Xiao He's is like listening to books, the Zhang family has so many entanglements with the Shen family. However, with the handle that Fourth Sister Zhang may know, she is not afraid of the Zhang family coming to the door again.

Shen Jin said again, and said solemnly: "My son is about to leave soon, and my grandmother and father rely on my wife to take care of me." ”

Xiao He hurriedly said: "Family, it is my business, how can the uncle be so polite." Uncle doesn't have to worry about Songjiang's affairs, I will take care of the family and take good care of Lao Anren. ”

Seeing Shen Jin's tired face, Xiao He's heart softened, and he couldn't help but say, "Thank you, uncle, my dowry was not counted when the silver was fined." These days, it is inconvenient to sell the land, and after a few days, when the matter fades a little, I will quietly go and sell the field and fold the silver—it is not easy for the uncle to be in Beijing, and if there is anything to spend, just write a letter to go home......"

Shen Jin waved his hand and said, "My son doesn't dare to take credit." And that was the wife's, the wife should not sell it, the wife's dowry box and cage were all lost in the chaos, and only these fields were left, so the wife should keep it. The son always has a lot of money, and there is also a little silver tael in the house in Beijing, and he will send some back to Beijing for the sake of the writer. ”

Before Xiao He's could say more, Shen Jin had already confessed his guilt and went to the front.

Xiao He looked at the back that was tired but still upright, shook his head and sighed, he lost his son to his father, and Shen Yuan, who was not responsible, raised a good son with responsibility.
