There is only one reason why Shen Shen in the capital did not know the news that Shen Jin and Shen Hong and his wife got off the ship, that is, Shen Hong and his wife did not return to the capital after resting for two days in Tianjin Port, but hired a merchant ship and set off again by water to Songjiang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info However, it was also because of the merchant ships that the delay when passing through the checkpoint made them farther and farther away from Shen Li's ship.

Although Shen Hong is sick and weak, he is the head of the family in the end, and at this time, he is worried about his children and grandchildren, and he holds on to his breath, and the symptoms of seasickness have decreased a lot. On the Guo side, it seems to be strong, but in the end it is a loving mother, one day less than Songjiang, one day not at ease, seeing the Qing down.

Shen Jin saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but think of his biological mother Zheng, his heart was rolling, and he walked to Class A with impetuousness. Although there is a house in Beijing now, the Zheng family refuses to discredit his son because of his status as a concubine, and refuses to move back to the capital, and is still in the office of the brothers in Baoding Mansion. Although Shen Jin was worried in his heart, he was helpless. This time there was an accident in Songjiang, Shen Jin left Beijing in a hurry, and he forgot to send someone to Baoding to deliver the letter. Compared with a few cousins in the fifth room, his filial piety seems to be shallower.

Thinking of this, Shen Jin was a little stunned, of course he was different from them, although he was a concubine, he had two mothers, a grandmother and a biological mother. Now that my name is in my mother's name, what about back then? The memory after the enlightenment is relatively clear, and it is mostly the impression of the biological mother's earnest teaching; But before the enlightenment, he rode a wooden horse and played with Shen Quan in the courtyard in front of the main house, next to the laughter of Sun and Guo.

When did that change? Is it the younger brother who landed, or the sister-in-law who heard the son-in-law after entering the school, or the little uncle who first won the lift and then the same jinshi, and the biological mother's waist became straighter and straighter. What about yourself? I really don't mind the identity of the concubine, and I really don't have jealousy of the little brother? When my grandmother died of illness, I was not relieved to grieve and grieve. is facing the sick and weak younger brother, it seems to be gentle, but there is also a bit of a lofty look in his heart.

At this moment, Shen Jin couldn't help but reddened her eyes, she really couldn't deceive herself anymore, and blamed her father for all the faults of the year, feeling that she was completely innocent. Only by comparing the real husband and wife father-son relationship in the fifth room will we know the absurd mistakes of the fourth room at the beginning.

Guo Shi happened to come up to breathe, and seeing that Shen Jin's expression was wrong, he said, "Is this worried about Brother Rui?" With your six brothers here, rest assured. ”

She used to dislike Shen Jin because of the Zheng family, but these days only Shen Jin is by her side, taking care of her inside and out, she has to admit that even if Shen Jin sometimes seems not so sincere, she can't find anything out of the world, and her old couple has indeed been taken care of a lot these days.

Shen Jin sneered: "I didn't worry about the second brother, but I remembered when I was a child." At that time, my mother was still there, and my third brother and I had not yet enrolled in school, so it was so tight that my mother and aunt were worried. ”

Guo squinted, his expression was a little dazed, and he fell into distant memories.

There are dozens of concubines in the clan, and the one that the Guo family admires the most is the Sun family. It's not that the Sun family is so unusual, it's just that the pleasant and complacent attitude, as well as the kind and generous kindness of being kind to others and being kind to others, are not something that ordinary women can do. In the case of being married for several years without children, the Sun family did not snatch the son of the man and robbed the eldest son to raise him; After having a biological son, he was not afraid to suppress the eldest son, he should extend the teacher and teach the teacher. If it weren't for this, Guo would not have hated Shen Yuan and Zheng, and was deeply disgusted by Shen Jin's "white-eyed wolf" behavior of ignoring his mother's kindness and blindly getting close to his biological mother.

Seeing that Shen Jin had remorse for his actions back then, Guo Shi felt more comfortable, and sighed: "Since it is not easy to know your mother, you will take care of Brother Rui more in the future." Your mother is gone, and you are the only ones who can't be relieved. ”

Shen Jin said with a straight face: "I don't need my aunt's orders, my nephew only has Brother Rui, and he should fulfill his brother's responsibility." ”

Guo Shi calculated the days in his heart and said, "They are almost in Songjiang, and I don't know what is going on now?" ”

Shen Jin comforted: "It's only a few days, and we've arrived." I can't say that when the time comes, the sixth brother has already dealt with it, and the aunt should not worry. Saying this, the fist in his sleeve was clenched, the news on the merchant ship was not as convenient as the official ship, although there were a few rumors, but they were all east and west, and they were not accurate. Shen Jin dared to tell Shen Hong and his wife that they had hidden the news that they had slashed, killed, and killed. Although some of the news sounds exaggerated and unsounding, it is true or false, and it also hides the news that Songjiang Mansion was indeed plundered by the Japanese invaders.

At Songjiang Wharf, Shen Rui walked to the ground, his steps a little soft. Because I took a fast boat, I arrived in Songjiang in less than a month, and because the boat was fast, it was not as stable as the slow boat, even Shen Rui was a few young adults, and in the end, he was shaken so that he couldn't eat or sleep well, and he was drowsy every day, until he stepped on the ground, he habitually felt that the ground was a little shaky.

Shen Li looked at the saber armor not far away, and then looked back at the dock. Susong is a large grain producing house, and has the task of transporting "white grain" to the capital, so the wharf repair is quite grandiose, can accommodate more than a dozen large ships at the same time loading and unloading, and there has always been a garrison patrol handle, which can go but there are not many people now, and there is no such solemnity. The docks, which were bustling with each other earlier, are now deserted, with only a few ships moored by the docks.

Shen Quan and Shen Rui also noticed that the dock was abnormal, and Shen Quan's heart was heavy, and he was more and more worried about his brother, and his heart was like an arrow.

Shen Rui couldn't help but look at the patrolman on and off the civilian boat, thoughtful.

Seeing this, Shen Li said, "What did Brother Rui think of?" ”

Shen Rui said: "Although there are no traces of fighting on the dock, if the 'Japanese Bandits' come ashore to plunder, this is the best place. ”

"Huh? How could Regoer think that? This is not the seaside, and if the Japanese go ashore here, they will have to pass through the mouth of the river, where there are a thousand families stationed. Shen Quan listened and was surprised.

Shen Rui said: "If the garrison is useful, there will be no such thing, and there is also a garrison outside Songjiang Mansion." ”

Shen Quan was still a little unaware, Shen Li sent the housekeeper who rented the horse back, and the brothers got into the car and went to Fucheng.

The housekeeper rode with him and said, "Master, the villain has asked, the widow went ashore on May 29, and he always heard that five big ships, four or five hundred thieves, first sent people to drugged, and fascinated the general manager and his subordinates on duty at the dock here, and then quietly entered the city, plundered many large households, killed 55 people, injured 134 people, sacrificed officers and soldiers 19 people, and plundered 85 women and children. ”

Although it is said that there are thousands of people who move if they don't say it, but now that the situation is peaceful, the casualties of more than 200 officials and civilians are also a shocking case. The clan brothers looked at each other, and Shen Quan's face turned pale. Since the Japanese went ashore for the purpose of plundering, the gentry and wealthy families were naturally the first choice, the Shen family was a Songjiang family, and the five rooms were the richer ones, so it was difficult to be spared no matter how you thought about it.

On the rest of the road, the brothers were silent.

When he arrived at the city gate, Shen Rui lifted the curtain and looked at the city gate. Unlike the wharf, the city gate of Songjiang Mansion was burned, even though more than a month has passed, but the city wall and the ground near the city gate are all black, with a bit of a mess. The officials and people who entered and exited the city gate did not have the rich smiles they had in the past, and their faces were a little worried.

The official stepped forward to show the documents, and the guards saw the official positions and names on it, and did not routinely see the official's respect, but with a somewhat depressed and angry look.

Shen Rui saw it in his eyes and was secretly surprised.

Since the documents were right, the city gate guards let them go, and the carriage went directly to the direction of Shenjiafang.

Seeing that the shops passing by were no longer as prosperous as they used to be, or were burned or smashed, the brothers could also think of the tragic situation at that time, and they didn't dare to take chances anymore.

Shen Li urged the carriage to move quickly, but Shen Quan's heart rose to his throat, and he only swore in his heart that he hoped for the safety of his brother's family.

After two quarters of an hour, the carriage finally drove to Shenjiafang in the back street of the Fuya.

When they got out of the car at the gate of the patriarch's house and looked at the intact gate, a few people breathed a sigh of relief. But the door was closed, and it wasn't until the housekeeper stepped forward and knocked on the door that the porter probe came out to look around, with a little worry on his face.

This porter is not very old, Shen Li and Shen Jin have been away from Songjiang for several years, so they don't know the two, they only look at Shen Quan a little familiar, and ask in a low voice: "Is the person who came to be the third master?" ”

Shen Quan nodded yes and said, "I heard that Songjiang had changed, and the second brother Rui and I went south with the six clan brothers, and we only arrived in Songjiang today, and came to visit the patriarch uncle, and bothered the little brother to go and say goodbye." ”

The porter's face was full of excitement, and he hurriedly pushed open the door: "It's here, the master has been waiting for a long time, a few masters, please come in!" While welcoming everyone into the door, he instructed the little maid to pass the word inside.

The little guy ran to pass the word, and a few people followed the porter to the living room.

When I arrived in the living room, I saw Shen Haizhu on crutches and came over slowly.

Looking at Shen Haihua's white hair, the clan brothers were startled. Although Shen Hai is over the age of six, he has always been pampered, even if he is the patriarch, but the general affairs of the clan are mostly handed over to the second son Shen Jun to take care of, he doesn't like to worry about everything, and he pays the most attention to maintenance, he looked only in his forties a few years ago, but now he has really become an old man.

The three of them stepped forward to salute, and Shen Hai didn't care about looking at Shen Quan and Shen Rui, holding Shen Li's hand, and the old tears were rampant: "I finally hope for Liulang back!" "In the excitement, my body is a little untenable.

Shen Li hurriedly helped, placed Shen Hai in his seat, and then said, "But there are casualties in the clan?" ”

Since it is such a thing, I only hope that Ding Kou is safe. As for foreign wealth, I don't care about it.

Shen Hai beat his chest and cried: "Hurt the old man! Good grandson, good grandson of the old man! ”

Shen Li's heart trembled when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Uncle, what the hell is going on?" ”

Shen Hai cried: "Damn the widows, Brother Dong let them rob them!" ”
