The study was silent, and the uncle and nephew were relatively silent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before the death of the first emperor, the Zhang brothers were already very arrogant, to the point that people were sideways, and now they have been upgraded to the uncle of the Son of Heaven, which is even more unshakable. is not only depressed by Shen Luo's death, but also because he is worried that the Zhang family will be unkind to the Shen family. Since Shen Cang's death, the highest official position of the Shen family is now only the fourth grade, and it has been reduced to a medium-sized family, and it cannot compete with the Zhang family at all.

Shen Rui remembered a past incident, when the Xu family brought the sons of the Shen family into Beijing, Shen Zhu had collided with Zhang Yanling, and then Shen Cang personally came to apologize. At that time, Shen Rui felt that something was wrong, the Ming civil officials were noble, and they did not violate the river water with Xungui on weekdays, and even sometimes parted with each other in the court, and had a high reputation of "not afraid of the powerful", Shen Cang, as a scholar, personally went to the Hou Mansion to apologize for his nephew, which seemed a little flattering. Even later, it also caused the impeachment of the imperial history, but the focus was not on Shen Cang's bones, but on the impeachment of Zhang Yanling, the city, and the like, which made the matter go away. Now that I think about it, it seems really strange.

"Didn't my father investigate this carefully?" Shen Rui frowned.

The third master fell into deep thought, and then he was in a trance, and muttered: "There is something wrong, at that time, Brother Luo fell from a horse and died, not only the second brother and sister-in-law were difficult to resist the pain of losing their son, but also the pain of our other elders, only the eldest brother was not only sad, but also with a little resentment, at that time I thought he was 'hating iron does not become steel', because Brother Luo does not cherish himself, and he is annoy......ed by the death of the horse" Speaking of this, he suddenly realized: "There is no impermeable wall in this world, could it be that the eldest brother also found clues at that time, and knew that Brother Luo fell from the horse and died, With the Zhang family in it, I am so annoyed! ”

Shen Rui has been with Shen Cang for a few years, and knows that his father is a person who has a city in his heart and attaches great importance to his family. Shen Luo was not only Shen Cang's nephew, but also the only heir of the three brothers at that time, how could Shen Cang not want to inquire about the cause and effect after his nephew's death.

The third master was entangled here: "But, if the eldest brother really knows about this, how can he be indifferent?" Or do you have to worry about the Zhang family's ......"

Shen Rui was also puzzled by this, and the third master noticed the gaffe, and hurriedly said: "Maybe the eldest brother has other arrangements, after all, the Zhang family had the emperor and queen as the backing at that time, and it may not be possible to get back the fairness when facing it head-on, and if you rectify it carefully, it will also damage Brother Luo'er's reputation......"

The threat from the Zhang family is really worrying for Shangshu Mansion, but it can't be taken care of at the moment.

The 800-mile expedited army reported to the military headquarters, and there were Japanese robbers in Songjiang Prefecture who came ashore and plundered the people of Huating County, killing and wounding more than 100 people.

Emperor Daxing had just come out of the funeral, and the courtiers were still watching the new Son of Heaven, and there was such a thunderstorm. Before the military generals of the court had reacted to the rebellion of the Japanese invaders, news came that the Outer Mongolian cavalry was holding the border. Compared with the Mongols, who were enough to threaten the country, the Wako Rebellion was nothing, except for the order to strengthen the sea ban and order thousands of households along the coast to cooperate in suppressing bandits, no one mentioned it again.

For the Shen family, the rebellion in Huating County was a big deal.

Although the letter from the Shen clan has not yet arrived in Beijing, the fifth old man and his wife have already packed their bags and are ready to return to their hometown. The fifth master is not in good health, and now it is in the summer heat, who dares to let him go on the road, his children and grandchildren have to beg hard, but the fifth master insists on leaving. Even Guo, who has always acted calmly, did not oppose her husband's decision this time, so Songjiang not only has Shen's tomb, but also the second son Shen Qi's family, and Guo's family is also anxious and like an arrow.

Shen Ying, the eldest son of the fifth room, and Shen Quan, the second son, are all in Beijing, but Shen Ying was originally a subordinate official of the East Palace, and now that the East Palace has ascended the throne, the old people of the East Palace have also been promoted.

Before leaving, Shen Quan had to go to Shangshu Mansion and Shen Li to see if the two families were going south. As for whether Songjiang is dangerous now, whether everyone should avoid it or not, no one has thought about it, it is not that they are concerned about chaos, but that the Ming Dynasty is now politically stable, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the Japanese invaders are just unprepared and take the opportunity to plunder, and they do not dare to brazenly confront the officers and soldiers.

On the side of Shangshu Mansion, since he heard the news that the Japanese had come ashore, the Xu family was also worried, and when he heard that Shen Quan was going to return to his hometown with his parents, he looked at Shen Rui and stopped.

Shen Rui is still recalling the historical materials he had read in his previous life about the Ming Dynasty Rebellion, but he really doesn't remember it clearly. But Huating County is not the first time to experience the Japanese Rebellion, and the death and death of several uncles and grandfathers in the second room were due to the disaster of the Japanese Invaders.

Shen Quan saw Xu's expression, his heart moved, and he glanced at Shen Rui, just in front of Shen Rui.

Shen Rui knew that at this time, the world attached great importance to the foundation of the clan, and although the relationship between the two rooms and the clan had never been close, it was not good to sit back and watch this matter, so he said to the Xu family: "Mother, I will go south with the third brother......

The third master is still sick, Brother Lu is still a milk doll, Shen Rui is the pillar of the second room, and only he can come forward.

Xu Shi thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, let's go and have a look...... Don't talk about others, the four-room Lao An is in Huating, and he always has to go back to see ......"

Shen Rui was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Zhang Lao'an was coming. Even if he has already succeeded, in the eyes of the world, the four rooms also have the grace of birth and nourishment, and if there is really something, he can't be left alone.

"What about Brother Jin? Do you want to go back too? Shen Rui looked at Shen Quandao.

Shen Quan nodded: "Naturally, I want to go back, there is a fake one over there, but it is cheap." Brother Jiu's side is Brother Lin. ”

Traveling far away and returning home, everything was complicated, and Shen Quan had to arrange it, but Shen Quan didn't stay long, made an appointment with the date of departure, and went home first.

Xu immediately ordered to go down and arrange for someone to take care of Shen Rui's luggage.

Shen Rui greeted Xu and went to Hanlin Academy to find Shen Li. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the struggle between the imperial power and the relative power is about to break out, Shen Li is the old son-in-law of Xie Ge, and he can't say that he will suffer from the pond fish, if he can persuade Shen Li to return to his hometown and avoid this dispute for the time being, it is also a good thing.

When Shen Rui left, Xu's face sank. Is it really a Japanese who came ashore? Xu lived for more than 50 years, has been five dynasties so far, "Yingzong restoration" when the memory, every time the emperor ascends the throne, there will always be such and such turmoil, some are foreign races taking advantage of the fire to rob, and some are the handwriting of the court princes or local corrupt officials, or for power, or for profit. Even if it is really a foreign race, there is no collusion, and they dare not attack a place where there are garrisons. If there is no internal traitor, you can't attract foreign bandits, and the poor people are innocent. Even if Shen Rui wants to go out in the future, no one can say the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, Xu originally planned to arrange for someone to return to Songjiang to operate the place after the service, as a retreat for the second room, but now he hesitated. Songjiang is so close to the sea that both real and fake Japanese are prone to disaster. Do you want to run Suzhou? The Xu clan thought of the Xu clansman and his nephew, and his brows furrowed even more.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, and the third lady helped the third master over.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that Brother Rui is going out, but what happened to Songjiang?" The third master asked.

Keeping filial piety for three years is not a joke, although it has passed 100 days of filial piety, it has not yet reached the anniversary, Shen Rui, a filial son, still has to serve white, and he will change his filial piety clothes until the anniversary. If there was no major event, the Xu family would not arrange for Shen Rui to go out.

The Xu family didn't plan to hide it from the third master, and said that the Japanese robbed Songjiang.

The third old man was shocked, and the third wife's expression also changed greatly. Although I have not returned to Songjiang, it is the foundation of the clan after all, and there have been relatives going back and forth in recent years, and the husband and wife can't help but worry.

"Sister-in-law, since you are not happy over there, don't let Rui Ge'er go, and arrange for the housekeeper to follow Quan'er and them south." Although the third master is worried about his relatives, he is even more worried about his nephew, especially when he thinks of Shen Luo's early death in the past few days, and he doesn't want Shen Rui to be in the slightest danger.

The third lady also persuaded her: "Yes, Rui Ge'er hasn't changed his clothes yet, even if he doesn't come forward, no one will blame him." ”

Xu shook his head and said: "If the old lady of the fourth room followed Shen Yuan in Yangzhou, now that she is in Songjiang, Rui Ge'er can't be unaware, and there is also Shen Jin, the champion." Although Songjiang has been a tribulation this time, Shen Jin has returned to his hometown in fine clothes, and the more this time, the more Rui Geer can't make any mistakes. ”

People are terrible, filial piety is the biggest, the third master and the third wife heard this, and they were also embarrassed for Shen Rui.

To say before, when it comes to the chaos in the fourth room, everyone has a rod and scale in their hearts, Shen Rui, the original son-in-law, has a bad reputation, and is disliked by his father and grandmother. Everyone will think that Shen Rui is really as unbearable as rumored, and he will not be in the eyes of the second room and be selected as the heir; That's good, but where did the previous rumors come from? Is there a cousin like Shen Jin who is behind the trouble?

Now that Shen Jin has won the champion, the situation is different. The champion is Wenqu Xing, and there will naturally be no mistake in the stars, everyone has to open their eyes to pick Shen Rui's no, which proves that Shen Rui is really unbearable, so he is incompatible with his father and brother, and he has another room.

Thinking of this, the third master said helplessly: "With Shen Jin's pressure, there will be more places for Rui Ge'er to be embarrassed in the future." ”

With Shen Li in front and Shen Jin behind, the Shen family has produced two champions in the past 20 years, and the possibility of a third one is very small. Moreover, Shen Rui's homework is in the eyes of the third master, hard work is hard work, and he is better than teenagers of the same age, but he is not a genius. Shen Jin and Shen Rui are of the same age, and their relationship is delicate, and if they are a little inappropriate, they can involve the past, which makes people have to scruple.

Outside the Hanlin Courtyard, under the shade of a tree.

Shen Rui looked up at the sky, sweat on his forehead. He was wearing filial piety clothes, which was too conspicuous and inconvenient to enter and exit, so he sent a long life to the yamen to send a message to invite someone. As for why he didn't wait until he went to Shen Li's house after he fell into the palace, of course, it was because he noticed the coldness of the Xie family. Although in front of Shen Li, the sister-in-law of the Xie family has always been enthusiastic about Shen Rui, her complicated expression and dislike are not concealed. is inseparable, Shen Rui has not mentioned it to Shen Li, but the number of times he has gone to Shen Li's house is less.
