Guo here, I miss the kindness of the eldest master and the Xu family; Shen Li here, when he learned that the object of the second room was happy for Shen Rui, he also secretly sighed.

In the officialdom, how could he not see the avoidance of Master Shen?

It's just that Xie Qian is his teacher and his father-in-law, and he jumped to a high position at a young age, all because of Xie's son-in-law. Even if he knew that several pavilion elders were too popular now, he was helpless.

Fortunately, today's saints are benevolent, and several cabinet elders are real pillars, and they do not affect state affairs because of open and secret struggles. During the Tongchenghua years, the dispute between the cabinet ministers who were exiled from their homes was moved, and now several cabinet elders can be called "gentlemen".

But if a person has no foresight, he will have near-term worries.

When the power of the three pavilion elders is getting bigger and bigger, it is impossible to say that the tilt will also be upgraded.

There were many disputes in this "Jingcha", and Shen Li was in the middle of the game, and he was also terrified when he looked at it.

The second room of the Shen family was withdrawn, and although Shen Li felt a little awkward in his heart, he still understood the old man's approach.

Now the second room of the Shen family is the backbone of the Songjiang Shen family in the officialdom, and there is no need to let the Shen family become a vassal of the Xie family.

Just seeing the determination of the eldest master, Shen Li knew that he also had to make a decision here. Even if he was really close to Shen Rui, it would not be easy for the brothers to be too close to each other in the future

Shen Rui is the heir of Shangshu Mansion, and his words and deeds do not only represent himself, but his hardcore "Xie Dang" is close to him, which is not good for him.

However, before he was estranged, he still wanted to do something for Shen Rui.

He sat down in the study for a while, leaned over and opened the door of the drawer, took out a small box from it, and turned away from the study.

The inner house, the upper room, is brightly lit.

After Xie finished grooming, he put down his central hair, sat crookedly on the kang for a while, looked at the invitation in his hand, his face was angry, and complained to the maid next to him: "What does this mean?" I just got through the words a few days ago, and I decided to be someone else's house over there? ”

The maid said, "Maybe there are already plans over there." ”

"In such a hurry, I thought that Gao Pan was someone, but he was just the daughter of a five-grade official...... In the end, it is not biological, the daughter-in-law who is the right person does not want it, but he has to say a low door, but he is afraid that the heir and daughter-in-law will not be obedient in the future, and he can't hold it down, but he doesn't even care about Shen Rui's future......" Xie Shi slammed the post on the kang table and said

The maid said: "In the end, I failed my wife's kindness." The young lady of Shangshu Mansion, let alone Xu over there, even the prince's family can get married. ”

Xie frowned and said: "I don't have a competent in-law, I still have to rely on our master in the future, it's really endless, my lord is kind, a few taels of silver, I have been reading it for all these years......"

Before the words fell, he saw the curtain open, and Shen Li strode in.

Xie Shi's face stiffened, and he hurriedly got up to meet him, and while flicking the snowflakes on Shen Li's shoulders, he said coquettishly: "It's snowing outside, and the master doesn't wear a cloak, so he comes back like this......"

Shen Li said: "It's just a few steps, it's too lazy to bother......"

The maid was obedient, knowing that the Xie family didn't love them when the master was there, so she stepped forward to serve, and hurriedly stepped aside.

Xie Shi glanced at it, still feeling that it was an eyesore, and said, "Don't you go to heat the ginger tea yet......

The maid retreated, Shen Li sat down by the kang, put the box in his hand on the kang table and said, "Tomorrow, you will go to Uncle Cang's side, and send this to the eldest aunt ......"

Xie served tea to her husband and sat down on the other side of the kang table.

Please post the date in five days, why do you want to go there tomorrow?

Xie Shi was a little curious, smiled and took the box and said, "What is this?" ”

As she spoke, she had already drawn a box in her hand, and there were only a few house deeds and title deeds in it.

The house is a house in the inner city, in the southwest of the capital, not far from Shen Ying's house, is a three-entry courtyard, which is a red deed registered by the government, and Shen Rui's name is directly used on it. There is also a land deed, which is also recorded in the name of Shen Rui, which is a small village in Tongzhou, with 80 acres of land.

Xie Shi only felt that the smile on his face was a little unbearable, and the fire in his heart was soaring, and he reluctantly said: "Master, this is ...... This ......"

Although Shen Li was born in the Shen family of a large family in Songjiang, he was only a side branch of the nine houses and had no ancestral property. For more than ten years, except for the three years when he returned to his hometown, he has been working in the Hanlin Academy.

Although the Hanlin Academy is noble, it is not as popular as the Liubu Yamen, and there are few ice charcoal respects that can be obtained.

In addition to Shen Li's income, his other income was just the "hometown ceremony" of Songjiang foreign officials when they entered Beijing, and some polishing materials. Some of them were handed over to the Xie family, and some of them were left in the small account in the study, and Shen Li sometimes liked to buy some ancient jade and used this silver.

In this year's "Beijing Inspection", many Beijing officials were dismissed and sold off their industries in Beijing.

Xie Shi has already made people watch, and took the opportunity to buy a few properties, Shen Li used a large amount of silver from the account office a few days ago, she knew about it, and she was still a husband who exchanged some precious things, and the silver in the small account room was not enough. Now that I have read these land deeds and house deeds, I don't know why?

This is for Shen Rui to buy property.

How long will this favor be returned? Do your children grow up to drink the northwest wind?

Not to mention the half of the dowry left by the Sun family, that is, in Shangshu Mansion, there is only Shen Rui, the heir, who can still lose him in the future?

Xie gritted his teeth, only to feel that there was going to be fire in his eyes.

Shen Li picked up the teacup, took a bite, and said lightly: "It is said that the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring." I lost my father when I was five years old, and my uncle and grandfather occupied dozens of acres of land in my family on the grounds that our branch was not successful, and no one in my uncle's family came forward to call the shots...... Aunt Hong's heart was kind, and she knew about it, and gave me three taels of silver and one stone of rice every month, until I was lifted, and sent silver to call me to Beijing...... Maybe in the eyes of the lady, this is just a few taels of silver, but it is the grace of regeneration with me, and I dare not forget it......"

Where can Xie Shi sit still, his face turned red, he got up and said worriedly: "Master, I'm ...... I'm not forgetting my aunt's kindness......"

Shen Li sneered lightly: "I know, you just can't see that I am good to Brother Rui......"

Xie Shi hurriedly shook his head and said, "The master misunderstood me......"

Shen Li raised his head and looked at his wife, his eyes cold.

Xie's voice became smaller and smaller, and he lowered his head and said, "I'm just wronged for Brother Lin...... The old man taught Brother Ray to be more elaborate than Brother Lin......"

Shen Li looked at his wife for a while, and said, "It's my fault." I promise my kindness, when I come to repay the favor, I shouldn't have dragged you down......"

Hearing this, Xie Shi was only left with panic in his heart, where could he still care about being annoyed, and said in a loud voice: "I was cautious for a while, don't annoy me, you and I are husband and wife, and I am also grateful for my aunt's kindness in my heart......"

The estrangement between Shangshu Mansion and this year is not only because of Xie Ge Lao. Shen Rui has been in Beijing for a year, and Shen Li's side is also moving around, but the Xie family is getting more and more coping. Shen Zhi talked twice, and the Xie family deserved it well, and he still turned around and treated Shen Rui lukewarmly.

This house, a small village, Shen Li didn't think about giving it to Shen Rui in private, but after thinking about it, he still felt that he had passed the Ming Road.

Although he is the champion, he is now a bachelor's degree, but his family background is poor. In addition to the two newly purchased properties, it is only a small village and a house purchased in the early years. The other family properties are either the Xie family's dowry, or the property that the Xie family added after using the dowry income.

It can be said that this house and village account for half of Shen Li's real family. For Shen Rui, although this is just the "icing on the cake", for Shen Li, it is a wholehearted effort.

With such a large amount of money, Xie always had to ask, rather than making her feel unhappy in the future, Shen Li still wanted to tell in advance, but he didn't expect to hear his wife's "true words".

Seeing her husband's cold face, Xie Shi's anxious tears came out: "Master, ......"

Shen Li sighed and said, "Don't cry, just this time, when Brother Rui is engaged, don't move around in the future...... Ordinary entertainment, if you can push it, push it......"

Xie Shi was stunned when he heard this: "What kind of words is this......

"Just be an ordinary clan...... "Shen Li lowered his eyes and said.

Xie Shi wiped his tears with a handkerchief, not knowing whether to be happy or puzzled, and whispered: "Where did it come to this?" I didn't let outsiders see it, and I thought the old man was ungrateful......"

"It is Aunt Hong who is kind to me, not Uncle Cang, Aunt Cang, in the future, Brother Rui will be raised by that side, no matter how much I do, I will not be ......interesting," Shen Li said.

There is no need to talk about kindness, when Shen Rui needs him, he will naturally stand up for Shen Rui. It's just that there is no need to tell the Xie family, she is a backhouse woman, and all she can see in her eyes is this small family.

Xie felt a little relieved in his heart, and his previous reluctance was left behind.

It's not that she is black-hearted and ungrateful, but she has great kindness on her head, and seeing that her husband is closer to Shen Rui than her own flesh and blood, she can't be generous.

If she could repay the favor with money, she would have paid for it a long time ago.

Now even if he gives away the real estate village, he may buy her husband's peace of mind, Xie Shi is not reluctant before, but feels a little unable to take it, and says: "Isn't it too thin?" A while ago, the Zhuangzi called the housekeeper Tian also has a place in Tongzhou, one hundred and fifty acres, why don't you add that place as well? ”

Shen Li shook his head and said, "No need." That's it......"

Shen House, Jiu Ruju, study.

Even if the candlestick in the study was lit with five waxes at the same time, Shen Rui didn't dare to bother too much. At this time, there are no myopia glasses, so it is better to take good care of your eyes than to look for crystal grinding lenses after getting out of your myopic eyes.

Reading is not a matter of day and night, so Shen Rui does not read books at night, except for practicing big characters, he silently writes articles that he has memorized during the day.

It wasn't until today's homework was finished and twenty large characters were written that Shen Rui blew wax and left the study.

When Dongxi and Liu Ya heard the movement, they hurriedly called for hot water and served Shen Rui to freshen up.

The academy is not warmer than his own house, so Shen Rui has to soak his feet in a high-waisted wooden basin every night.

After he had cleaned his face, he sat on the kang and soaked his feet.

Liu Ya said with a smile: "Second brother, in a few days, my wife will go to Yang's house to insert it, can you bring Sister Dongxi?"

Shen Rui opened his eyes and looked at Dong Xi, and when he saw that she also had a surprised look on her face, he knew that it was Liu Ya who made her own opinion. It's just that Liu Ya didn't like to go out because of his leg disease, so he pushed out Dongxi.

Shen Rui didn't care about her, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to my wife tomorrow to ......."
