The next day, Shen and his entourage left the inn early and entered the capital at noon. Because the old house of Zongfang and Shangshu Mansion are not in the same square, Shen and Li Shi separated after entering Beijing.

Today, the yamen was sealed, Shen Cang had already gone to the yamen of the criminal department, and after Li Shi returned to the house, he didn't care about resting, and after a little grooming, he came to the room to see Xu's reply.

Hearing that Shen first went to the empty old mansion of the sect, and only asked Li Shi to bring the post over, the Xu family was silent for a while, and Fang sighed: "It seems that the grievances of the sect are really not small, what was the reaction when you first went there a year ago."

The chief housekeeper replied: "The patriarch and the patriarch's wife are both sick, and the young master and the young master are sick...... The patriarch's wife didn't see it, but the patriarch saw it twice, he was really sad, and there was no lack of remorse between his words. The young master also went to the old slave to inquire, but only the young master didn't say anything politely. The patriarch sent the young master to Beijing, and the young master stopped him, but he didn't stop him......"

Although he knew that the sect had grievances against this side, he could also be sympathetic to the Xu family. Although she has no biological flesh and blood in her life, she is jealous and hateful, and she looks down on Shen Ji's style of being less human for the sake of profit.

Xu snorted coldly: "You can't be sympathetic to your parents, you can't take care of your siblings, Shen Ji's son is raised for nothing...... The late grandfather over there and the current eldest master are both loyal, why did they raise such a son? is so selfish, it's not like the Shen family, it's the He family's side......"

In the past two days, the Xu family had been annoyed by the second master's family letter, but now that they heard Shen Ji's style, they were a little angry, and they couldn't help but speak ill of it.

Although the He family has a friendship with the Shen family in the capital, and He Shilang and Shen Cang are now officials in the same office, but because the eldest wife of the sect and the He family had encroached on the Sun family's dowry, the Xu family really had no good impression of the He family.

Now that I know that my own flesh and blood have died, the eldest wife of the sect has no response except for illness, and she is not as good as the lord of the sect, who is willing to come forward for her son.

The great steward looked at his nose, his nose at his mouth, and his mouth at his heart, but he did not hear.

Xu Shi said again: "You are optimistic, does the sect really want to let Brother Jue return to the sect, or use this name to ask for an explanation?" What kind of person is Shen, but he will change his mind? ”

The big butler shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't, the old slave knocked on the side along the way, and persuaded a lot, but the young master has a right idea." Coupled with the father's life on it, I'm afraid that the young master will hold on......"

Xu didn't speak again, seeing that the big butler was full of tiredness, thinking that he was old, he ordered Hongyun to say, "Send your grandfather down......"

Hongyun, the maid next to the Xu family, is the granddaughter of the big housekeeper Li Shi.

Hongyun responded, Li Shi also respectfully retired, and the ancestors and grandchildren went out.

When he got out of the upper room, Li Shi had a bitter face, and his body was a little rickety. He has always been proud of Shangshufu, and he is the most loyal, and he really doesn't want to see Shangshufu's reputation flawed. But since the lord and wife are in charge, he has no room for opposition. It's just that in my heart I complained that the eldest master of the sect was too willful, could anyone harm the third young master? They are their parents, they are hard to give up, they will be sad and sad, and the elders here are stone-hearted? When the third young master was pushed out to be the heir, I didn't see anyone who was reluctant, but now the flesh and blood are deep.

Hongyun was beside him, seeing that his grandfather was in good spirits, and said with concern: "You also have a spring and autumn season, this rush is hard work, do you want to take a break with the lord and wife, so that you can take a break?" ”

Li Shi shook his head and said, "Where is it used?" It's just a long trip, don't underestimate your grandfather and me? I'm not old yet...... Recently, there have been a lot of things in the house, and you are good to serve your wife. I saw that my wife was sallow and her heart was on fire, which was not a good sign. ”

"Grandfather, don't worry, my lord has sent someone to invite a doctor to come over yesterday and prescribe a prescription for my wife to relieve the liver and regulate qi, and today I have begun to eat ......" Hongyun said.

Li Shi nodded and said: "That's good, my wife has worked hard all her life, it's not easy, even if we are servants, we should respect and love ......"

Hongyun said: "Why do you need your old man's orders? The granddaughter was raised by his wife's side, and the wife was good to her granddaughter, not that the granddaughter boasted about herself, but who could go beyond the granddaughter's loyalty in this courtyard? ”

Li Shi smiled with satisfaction and did not speak again. His granddaughter is really loyal to his wife, and the matter of the main house, even if his own grandfather wants to inquire about it, Hongyun can say it, but he can't say it. This girl has been working by his wife's side since she kept her head, and for more than ten years, Hongyun has been closer to his wife than to his own father.

Li Shi himself is a loyal servant, and he is happy to see his granddaughter like this, so he only said: "Although my wife doesn't like to say good things to coax people, she is the most successful in her heart." If you are so faithful, you will have a good future......"

Hongyun immediately blushed and said, "What is not the future, my granddaughter doesn't want to leave my wife...... Grandfather, go home......"

When Hongyun returned from sending his grandfather, he saw red smoke coming out of the upper room.

"Where is this going?" Red Cloud Road.

"Mrs. asked me to ask my second brother to ......," Hongyan replied.

The red smoke went away, and the red cloud lifted the curtain and entered the upper room.

Seeing Xu's dazed expression, Hongyun poured a glass of honey water and sent it up, and persuaded: "Although it is the third brother's family over there, the third brother is now the son here." If the lord and wife don't nod, can they barely make it? ”

Xu shook his head and said: "Brother Jue is a good boy, instead of being alone in Beijing, it is also a good thing to go back to reunite with flesh and blood......

Hongyun hesitated: "What if outsiders talk about it?" ”

Xu is the housewife of Shangshu Mansion, and if she doesn't know about it, she can't blame her for this matter. But Hongyun knew that in the past two years, his wife had been focusing all her attention on taking care of her master's body, and she had already taken care of all the family affairs, even if Shen Jue was indeed sick due to the negligence of her subordinates and the carelessness of her elders, she should not blame her wife.

Xu smiled bitterly: "Am I right?" No matter what others do, I'm really negligent Brother Jue...... Even if I ask a few more words, the subordinates will not dare to be so foolish. ”

As he was talking, Shen Rui came.

"Mother." Shen Rui saluted.

Xu sat on the couch near the window, pointed to the chair in front of him, asked Shen Rui to sit down, and said, "The patriarch sent Shen Shangjing to take Shen Jue's remains back...... Now that the big housekeeper has returned, Shen Yi has arrived and gone to the old house of the sect to settle down. The old man's yamen just opened the seal, and after waiting for a few days, Shen's worship sticker arrived, and it was not good for him to wait for a long time, Ming'er, you should go over first, and you can't lose your courtesy. ”

Shen Rui was already stunned when he heard this, and said for a while: "No...... Pay attention to the soil for safety? Even if you are reluctant, why do you have to toss like this? ”

Xu said: "I heard that it was the patriarch who made the master, and Shen was ordered by his father to go to Beijing......"

"What did you think when you were alive? Now it's 'reluctant,'? Shen Rui didn't complain about the patriarch, but he didn't have a good impression of Shen, thinking of returning to Songjiang last summer, he felt that his heart was blocked in panic, and he gritted his teeth.

Xu Shi sighed and said: "There are many people like this, they don't know how to cherish it in front of them, and they regret it until they can't see it." There is no regret in this world, you can only torture yourself. When the chief housekeeper didn't return to Beijing, he sent a letter back, saying that Zongfang wanted to move Brother Jue's bones back to his hometown. But after all, this is against the world, easy to attract criticism, and it is impossible to say that our family's reputation will be damaged, what does Rui Geer think? ”

When Shen Rui heard this, every scene in front of him was Shen Jue's life, and he said in a low voice: "My son doesn't want to stop it." Don't say anything else, just say that you can be buried next to the grandfather when you go back, and Brother Jue will be happy to know under the spring. ”

Shen Jue is different from him, Shen Rui has changed his soul inside, and the elders of the fourth room are unkind, so he has never had a sense of belonging to the fourth room, and he can only regard Shangshu Mansion as his home after entering Beijing; Even if Shen Jue is not treated by his biological mother, he is raised by his grandfather, doted on by his father, and has a deep affection for his flesh and blood.

Sure enough, this was the choice, Xu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then it's all right, Ming'er, you went to visit Shen and said what you mean here...... He was uneasy in the province, and he went around to camp and caused his relatives to be uneasy......"

Although the second wife is still in the house, neither the mother nor the son mentioned her coming.

When Shen Rui returned to Jiuruju, he wrote a post and sent Changfu to the old mansion of the sect.

As Xu expected, Shen arrived at the old mansion of the sect, finished freshening up, sat in the cross-courtyard hall, and began to ponder the in-laws in Beijing.

Although in front of the chief housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion, he said that he was wearing two filial pieties, and it was not good to visit directly and collide with the elders of the province, but in fact, as a grandchild, he only had to serve the patriarch for a year, and after a hundred days of filial piety, he was already wearing plain clothes. As for Shen Jue, he is not submissive, even if he is a brother of the same generation, he is also convincing or unconvinced

If there are elders in the family, you really need to avoid it, after all, it is not yet the New Year, and the peers are fine.

Before officially going to Shangshu Mansion, should you go to see Shen Li and Shen Ying first?

Shen was eating tea and pondering about this matter, when he saw a little servant come in with a prayer post.

Shen was a little surprised, and when he took it and looked at it, his face was angry.

Shen Rui will come over tomorrow, what will he do? Did he get the news of Li Shi, and he didn't want to let Brother Jue return to the sect and come over to persuade him?

Shen Rui was young and old, Shen Ben felt that he was a scheming person, two brothers went to Beijing, one was the son of Shangshufu who could be half of the family, and the other was under the fence. The funny thing is that for three years, Zongfang didn't know anything about it.

Listening to the meaning of Li Shi's words, Shen Jue was slow when he was alive, and he didn't know how much suffering he had to suffer. It's a pity that Brother Jue is a solid child, even so, when he returned to Songjiang, he didn't say that the second room was not a half.

But this Shen Rui, since he can afford half of the Shangshu Mansion, can't he take care of Shen Jue? It can be seen that the closeness posed in front of people is fake, not pro, not pro, but just face......
