After returning from Shen Ji's study, Shen Jue didn't speak, and after returning to the guest house, he lay down on the smoker cage, motionless.

There is nothing to comfort in this, it can only make Shen Jue think about it himself.

Flesh and blood affection is the most difficult to give up. This is also why the first choice of heirs is a baby or a young child. It is because no matter how you raise your kindness, you will never forget it. The older you get, the deeper your affection for Bunsen's parents becomes.

Shen Jue never forgot to return to his hometown as soon as possible, and the most unbearable thing was the patriarch's grandfather, and it was also the patriarch's grandfather who could send a handwritten letter and let him stay in Beijing obediently.

As soon as it was a little younger, there was a grandmother who sent her mother-in-law over and invited Shen Rui and Shen Jue over for dinner.

Shen Rui saw that Shen Jue didn't mean to get up, so he said to his mother-in-law: "My tired mother told my sister-in-law that Brother Jue and I just ate a lot of snacks and snacks, and now we are not hungry, so I won't eat dinner, please use it first for my eldest brother and sister-in-law." ”

The mother-in-law answered, Shen Jue turned over and got up from the smoked cage, and said, "How can I do it without dinner?" ”

Shen Jue glanced at him and said, "Can you eat it?" ”

Shen Jue snorted lightly and said, "Why can't you eat it?" I can eat a table of food now."

"Don't worry, don't be hungry, your sister-in-law is a careful person, and she will send food later," Shen Rui said.

Shen Jue fell backwards and spread it out into a big word: "Who made me her little uncle......" and poured again: "In the future...... They're not just more polite and thoughtful......"

When Shen Rui heard his words, he also complained about Shen Ji and his wife, and said, "You don't want to think about the bad things, but also think about the benefits of everyone...... The patriarch's wife loves you so much, and agreeing to your succession is also well-intentioned. In the eyes of the elders, whether it is to study in the capital or otherwise, it is cheaper than in Songjiang. Brother Erfang Luo was able to pass the township test at the age of sixteen, in addition to his outstanding talent, he also had many famous teachers in Beijing. ”

Maybe the whole clan is optimistic about Shen Jue's succession, and there are other selfish motives in it, but it cannot be denied that the biggest reason is because for Shen Jue's future, the succession is beneficial and harmless.

Shen Jue turned over and sat up, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Rui, this is a succession, not a trivial matter, in the future, my father is not my father, my grandfather is not my grandfather......" Speaking of this, he lowered his head: "I thought that when Brother Rui was succeeded, I was on the outside, and I only thought this was a good thing, and I didn't rejoice for you without heart and lungs, where is this worth rejoicing?" Uncle Yuan and Lao An are certainly not good to you, Aunt Yuan must love you, and you may not be willing to succeed in your heart. ”

Shen Rui shook his head and said, "Brother Jue, you guessed wrong...... I'm happy to do it. In this world, the affection between people comes from everywhere, either by blood or by relatives. Just like in my heart, even though Shen Jin is the eldest brother, but because I am close to you and the third brother, I feel that I have a deeper relationship with your brother...... Although you are in a different situation from me, if the elders all think that it is good to succeed, then they must have their thoughts and reasons. It's normal for you to feel uncomfortable for a while, just don't blame them. You are so reluctant, how can the patriarch give up in their hearts? Even Brother Mechanic, if it weren't for the discomfort in his heart, he wouldn't find it so difficult to speak. People live in the world, and no one can do what he wants. If you bite the bullet and are not willing to succeed, the only one who will be embarrassed is the patriarch's wife. As the patriarch, the grandfather is the proper righteousness of the succession, is it the right thing to succeed the children of other people's families, and the grandchildren of the clan family cannot succeed, so what do the clansmen think? ”

Shen Jue gritted his teeth and said, "Why is it my turn?" When I first entered the capital, I thought that the squire's house was good, but I didn't think about staying for a long time."

He is thirteen years old, and although he is depressed, he is a person who understands after all.

Shen Rui's persuasion still listened.

As Shen Rui expected, after two quarters of an hour, the grandmother came, followed by a few mothers-in-law and maids, carrying food boxes.

Shen Jue is no longer the half-dead appearance of Fang Cai, although his face does not look smiling, he still gets up and follows Shen Rui, and he is attached to the grandmother

Seeing this, the grandmother felt a little relieved, and said with a smile: "Even if you don't have much appetite for snacks just now, you should use some of this food." Second Uncle Rui and Fifth Uncle Rui are growing their bodies, how can they stand it without eating?"

Shen Rui said: "I'm tired of my sister-in-law, Brother Rui and I are still thinking about how to find my sister-in-law for supper when I am hungry at night......

Grandma said: "I'm coming to the house, Second Uncle Rui doesn't want to be outside." There is a mother-in-law on the stove who is on duty at night, and the second uncle Rui wants to send someone to ask for whatever food he wants" Speaking of this, he looked at Shen Jue again: "Fifth uncle, your eldest brother said that you love to eat lotus root powder, and there was no more at home earlier, today my sister-in-law sent someone to Uncle Ying's house to ask for some, if you want to eat, I will ask someone to transfer it to you." ”

Shen Jue squeezed out a smile and said, "It's bothering my sister-in-law." ”

The grandmother personally brought the food out, and Fang took the mother-in-law and the maid to leave.

Where did Shen Jue have an appetite, but Shen Rui didn't eat anything, and now he was attracted by the aroma of the food, and his appetite was aroused.

He sat down at the table, looked at Shen Jue and said, "If you don't want to eat, don't eat, when you're hungry, I'll use the lotus root powder first......

Songjiang there food, rarely use mutton into the dish, meat is pork, chicken, duck, fish and shrimp, here in the capital, on the table, but common mutton

A cup of mutton and winter melon soup in winter is very appetizing.

Shen Rui filled himself a bowl, sprinkled some chopped coriander, and drank a bowl fragrantly.

When he went to serve the second bowl, Shen Jue couldn't help but push the bowl in front of him: "How big is it to bring me a bowl too, will it delay eating?" ”

Shen Rui served it to him, and Shen Jue, as he said before, lowered his head and began to eat Haisai.

There were four bowls and four plates of dishes on the table, but it took most of the time to make a cup of tea.

Seeing this, Shen Rui hurriedly stopped: "It's almost enough...... Beware of breaking ......"

Shen Jue ate a lot of snacks in the afternoon, and his stomach was already full, and he used it so much in one bite, so it was strange that he could be comfortable.

After eating, Shen Jue hugged his stomach and hummed on the kang.

Shen Rui wanted to pull him down to eat, but Shen Jue didn't move. Shen Rui had no choice, so he had to instruct the maid to make strong tea to help him digest it.

As a result, Shen Jue's stomach didn't hurt anymore, and he was sleepy again, pulling Shen Rui to talk in the middle of the night, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became.

Until the sound of the fifth watch came from outside, Shen Jue said that he was tired of speaking, and Shen Rui was also calloused by his ears, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.

In a daze, I heard Shen Jue say: "Brother Rui, I feel pain in my heart......"

After tossing all night, neither of them got up in the morning.

Shen Ji because Shen Jue's expression was wrong yesterday, he kept people paying attention to the side of the guest house, and when he saw Chenzheng, there was no movement here, so he came to see it in person

Hearing that the mother-in-law said that the light in the bedroom was always on, the two little brothers chatted for a night, Shen Ji sighed in his heart, went in to take a look twice, and saw that the two were indeed sleeping sweetly, and he tiptoed out.

This sleep, Shen Rui and Shen Jue slept until noon.

It was Shen Quan who came over, and the two of them woke up.

Seeing that Shen Jue's eyes were blue and black, Shen Rui also yawned, and Shen Quan smiled: "Yesterday, you guys were crazy and tired like this?" I didn't go over, and I didn't send anyone to talk to me, because I didn't wait for a good morning, and I couldn't worry about it."

Shen Rui said ashamedly: "It's because I overslept for a while and forgot about it, and the tired third brother is worried." ”

It turned out that when he came back from Shilang's Mansion the day before yesterday, Shen Rui said to Shen Quan that he would go to Shen Ying's house on the third day of junior high school. Although Shen Ying's brother and Grandma Ying, Shen Rui have already met; Ke Qi's second grandmother has not yet gone to pay New Year's greetings.

I didn't expect to be nagged by Shen Jue all night last night, and I forgot about this stubble directly.

Although Shen Quan said so in his mouth, he didn't think that Shen Rui was really playful, and seeing Shen Jue's expression, he knew that something had changed, but he didn't know if it was good or not.

Shen Rui has always been close to Shen Quan, but he didn't feel that there was anything to hide from him, so he said: "Third brother, Brother Ji told me and Brother Jue yesterday afternoon that the heirs of the second room have been settled, it is me and Brother Jue, Brother Jue is not happy, and he didn't rest well last night." ”

Shen Quan, who had already gotten the news from his brother, was not surprised by this matter at all, and nodded: "I also heard about this, I didn't say it earlier, the order is also the two of you, it is not strange to choose you in the second room, and it is strange to choose another talent."

Thinking of Shen Zhu, who was seriously ill, Shen Quan sighed and said: "Since ancient times, there have been examples to follow for the heirs of the clan, since the bloodline is far and near, and only Brother Zhu wants to think about the east and west, and he can't find happiness for himself."

Seeing that Shen Quan said it so easily, Shen Jue was not angry: "This matter has not been spread to the third brother, and the third brother will not have a backache when he stands and talks."

Shen Quan saw Shen Jue's cheeks puffing out, like a bullfight, and shook his head and said, "Brother Jue has always been smart, why can't he think about it?" Although the name has changed, the family affection is difficult to break, but it is just to let you go to the second room to inherit the bloodline, and it is not for you to not get along with the old age and death of your life. In the future, slowly find a way to do both, what is the use of being anxious and angry now? ”

"The best of both worlds?" Shen Jue was moved when he heard this: "Tell me about the third brother, what is the best way to do both?" ”

Shen Quan smiled and said, "It's not hard to think of this method. You study harder, get fame and support the portal as soon as possible, and then marry a daughter-in-law early, and give birth to a bunch of heirs and grandchildren...... If you have fulfilled all your responsibilities as an heir, who will detain you if you act ordinarily? The elders in the second room are also reasonable people, as long as you act within the rules and don't break the rules......"

Shen Jue was annoyed all night, and after listening to Shen Quan's words, his heart was pounding.

Shen Rui was beside him, and couldn't help but be curious: "This has always been a late entry into the house, isn't it taboo that the heir is close to Bunsen?" ”

Shen Quandao: "It's most likely that the heir is young, and when he enters the house, he is afraid that he will be coaxed by the Bunsheng family with his life's grace, and he will be separated from his own family, or he will take his own things to supplement Bunsheng." Brother Jue is already a teenager, and he is not a child, and the elders of the sect are not such shameless people. Since the elders of the second room can choose you as their heirs, they are not afraid that you will be close to Bunsen, otherwise you will just succeed a milk doll? ”

Shen Jue listened, even if he couldn't say that his troubles were gone, he had some hope.

Seeing this, Shen Quan couldn't help but say: "It's just that the elders in the second room are kind, and Brother Jue should also know how not to embarrass the elders." The life is unforgettable, not necessarily all on the face, but everyone is uncomfortable. Now that you are getting older, even if you don't succeed, you will eventually leave home one day when you come out to study and take exams...... Thinking about it this way, it won't feel so difficult......"

Shen Ying went back the day before yesterday and told Shen Quan about it, not because she couldn't keep her words, but because it was also for Shen Quan's study.

As Shen Ying, if she wants to send her younger brother to Chunshan Academy, she has to ask Shen Li, and she thought the same way. But if Shen Rui and Shen Jue stay in Beijing, they will definitely want to study in Chunshan Academy at their age, so Shen Ying is a little difficult to speak to Shen Li.

Needless to say, Shen Jue is a bachelor of Hanlin, so don't worry about admission; Shen Rui here, if he can send someone in, he will definitely be more willing to send Shen Rui.

Shen Ying told her younger brother that she would wait and see how to enter the academy to study. If Shen Rui was sent directly from the second room to study, and then begged Shen Li, it would make it difficult for the clan brothers.

When Shen Quan heard this, he didn't think so, he only felt that the eldest brother was stupid to read.

It is true that Chunshan Academy is a college for the children of Hanlin, but Hanlin is also divided into grades, and the editing and bachelor's can be the same?

The second master and Shen Li are both from the five grades, one is a bachelor and the other is a bachelor, and they are both close ministers of the Son of Heaven who grew up in the court. One is the son-in-law of a university scholar, and the other is the younger brother of the squire, and the two of them send students to Chunshan Academy, not to mention sending one more, who will stop them if they send a few more?

Even if he was originally scheduled to go to his sister-in-law to pay New Year's greetings, Shen Rui did not delay any longer, after freshening up, he used half a bowl of lotus root powder to add to his stomach, and then came out with Shen Quan. Shen Jue's spirits were mostly better, and he didn't know how to face his eldest brother and sister-in-law, so he also came with Shen Jue.

Shen Ying and Shen Qi brothers went to the same year as the master to pay New Year's greetings, and they were not at home.

It was Grandma Ying, because she had already received the news and knew that Shen Rui would come to pay New Year's greetings, so she had already asked someone to prepare a table and wait.

Qi's second grandmother is eight months old, and the delivery period is approaching, so it's no wonder that she doesn't dare to go out to pay New Year's greetings.

Shen Rui and Shen Jue looked at her with a huge belly, and they were all worried.

Qi's second grandmother is the niece of the Jiang Sheng clan of the Songjiang prefect, and she can marry into the fifth room of the Shen family, and she is still a big matchmaker in the early years of the Sun family. Because of this, Second Grandma Qi was also very close to Sun Rui, and said, "Brother Rong heard that you are going to enter Beijing, and he was talking about it before......"

The "Brother Rong" in her mouth is Jiang Rong, the third son of Jiang Zhifu, who had an old relationship with Shen Rui when he was in Songjiang and was also familiar with Wang Shouren.

In addition to one bachelor in charge of the five-rank academy, there are also four bachelors who are from the five-grade academy, and the uncles and nephews of the Shen family occupy two seats, and the remaining one is the eldest master's brother-in-law Bachelor He, and the other person is the brother of the prefect of Jiang.

This is also because although Shen Li and the second master are of the same clan, they have already come out of the five suits, otherwise there would have been impeachment and circumvention by the officials.

Thinking of this, Shen Rui inexplicably felt a little happy that the Hanlin Courtyard had become the back garden of the Shen family.

Second Mrs. Qi was a month old, and she accompanied Shen Rui and Shen Jue to talk for a while, and her body became tired, so she went down to rest first.

Shen Rui and Shen Jue, because they heard the second grandmother of Qi mention Jiang Rong, they had to mention the expiration of Jiang Governor's Mansion.

From the second grandmother of Qi, Jiang Zhifu and everyone are also in-laws.

He also mentioned Bachelor Jiang from Governor Jiang, and from Bachelor Jiang to Hanlin Academy, Shen Quan and Shen Jue also discovered that Hanlin Academy and the Shen family were inextricably linked.

Shen Jue's eyes lit up and said, "It seems that we will study and study in the future, and we should go to the Hanlin Academy." I heard that the current master of the Hanlin Academy is very old, and no matter which one of the successor bachelors is, they are all relatives."

Seeing Shen Jue grinding his fists and palms, Shen Rui and Shen Quan looked at each other and smiled, and their hanging hearts were put down.

Shen Jue has an excellent temperament, his troubles come and go quickly, and everyone is still worried about him, he himself has long been overworked......
