The rooster will dawn, and the sky will be white.

The third master got up, and the third wife had already finished dressing up, ironing the supplementary clothes, and serving her husband to put them on.

"I dreamed of my eldest brother last night...... the third master's voice was a little sad: "Sister-in-law misses eldest brother, and I want to too." In this family, without a big brother, it doesn't look like the Shen family...

The third wife thought about the loneliness of the past half a year, although she was not a person who liked to be lively, and she couldn't help but sigh: "If only the eldest brother was still here......"

"The deceased is just a word of consolation, I have you and my son, Brother Rui is still taking care of the industry, even if you don't give up your eldest brother, the days will pass day by day, and the most pitiful thing is the sister-in-law." In addition to mourning the eldest brother, the third master was also worried about the eldest sister-in-law.

Maybe Xu's words last night were just to get out of the main room, but it made the third master toss and turn and couldn't sleep all night.

When the third wife heard this, her heart couldn't help but feel sour. The eldest sister-in-law has no biological flesh and blood, and she has both children in her name, but one is an heir and the other is an adopted daughter. The adopted daughter is well-behaved, and if she marries, she is another family; The heir is filial, but he was already a teenager when he took it over, and his closeness was limited.

The wives of other people's families, most of their lives have passed, husbands and children, and concubines and maids in the house, the so-called husband and wife relationship is just respecting each other and living together; changed to the Xu family, and Shen Cang and his wife have a deep relationship, respect and cherish each other, but they are all in the eyes of everyone.

If there is no Brother Lu, the eldest sister-in-law's today is her own tomorrow. Thinking of this, the third wife couldn't help but be sad.

The third master was already dressed, and said: "Every day is just a little bit of a day, I will inquire today to see if I can report a sick leave, let's accompany my sister-in-law to live in the sacrificial village, see the eldest brother, and let the sister-in-law scatter her heart." ”

The third wife was originally a weak personality of fame and fortune, and she also felt sorry for her husband's body, so she didn't say anything to delay the future, but said: "That relationship is good, the lord has been working hard early and late in the past few months, and he will take a break by the way." ”

The third old man sighed: "I really miss the old days." ”

Although the third master now has an official body, from the seven products in the scholar, but this house is not the same as the house, the Ming Dynasty in the scholar is divided into five places on duty, in the book branch of the people, in the east room of the Zhiwen Huadian in the book, in the west room of the Zhiwu Yingdian in the book, in the cabinet of the house in the book, the system of the house people, their duty is different, the accusation is different.

The third old man was born into the official, but because of his talent and illness, he arranged the most idle scholar in the east room of the Zhiwen Huadian, who was not involved in government affairs and was ordered to write a book.

After half a year, the third master can also understand that the two halls and two houses are decent, but the future is also limited, and he can't be transferred to the Taoist official. Either way, it's not easy to get out. Although it is a pity, the third master also understands that even if he participates in the examination as if he is earning his life and is a jinshi, he does not have the energy to be a palm seal officer, but now such an idle job is just right for him.

Jiuru was in the center, and Shen Rui also got up early.

I practiced boxing in the courtyard for half an hour, and then went to the study to see the handwriting, just like every day's life. It's just that because Xu mentioned the change of yard yesterday, Shen Rui in the practice of calligraphy was a little distracted.

The eldest master left in October last year, and Shen Rui needs to keep filial piety for 27 months, and he will be filial piety in January of the following year. This year is the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, and the year after next is the second year of Zhengde, which happens to be the year of the township test, and Shen Rui can end.

Because of the upcoming history, Shen Rui was apprehensive. The second room of the Shen family is not ranked in Beijing because of Shen Cang's death, can it be regarded as escaping a catastrophe? Wang Hua's father and son have been knocked on the side several times, can they also act cheaply in the face of the struggle between imperial power and relative power?

Thinking of having Yang Tinghe here, even if Shen Rui was worried, he was less panicked, and the pen in his hand became more and more stable.

After breakfast, Shen Quan came to visit.

"Why did Second Brother Ling and Shen Zhu leave in such a hurry?" Shen Quan asked curiously, "Is Shen Zhu making trouble again?" ”

The afternoon before yesterday, Shen Rui sent someone to the fifth room to spread the word, because Shen Zhu and Shen Li had a dispute over this paragraph, and he was afraid that the next person would spread the word crookedly, so he hid Shen Zhu first and only said that the matter on the He family's side was over, and the two brothers could not rest assured that they could not leave the house, and they left Beijing before waiting for the festival.

The fifth room listened to it, and it was inevitable to think about it.

If you change to a more mean family, you have to pick the gifts of Shen Ling and Shen Zhu brothers, after all, the old man and his wife are elders, and the two brothers are too lazy to leave Beijing without even seeing each other; However, Master Hongda has a generous temperament, thinking that Shen Ling has always been thoughtful, is there any hidden reason for leaving in a hurry this time? Although it is separated from the head of the house, but in the end, it is a family member, and there are still four rooms in the competition with the He family this time, if it is not handled well, Shen Jin and Shen Rui brothers will not have a good time, therefore, as soon as the Dragon Boat Festival is over, Master Hong sent Shen Quan to inquire.

Shen Rui told the cause and effect, and Shen Quan sneered when he heard it: "Is this not even the sixth clan brother in his eyes?" Asking for someone to come to the door and be an uncle? How old did he think he was? Second Brother Ling is also really, Shen Zhu is willing to get out, and he has to chase and wait, taking care of the face of the six clan brothers, this is what cows and horses are used to, and even people can't do it. ”

Shen Rui said: "Just listen to it, what are you angry about?" ”

Shen Quan was still not angry: "Can you not be angry?" Just because the two brothers left Beijing in a hurry, my father's day didn't stop, and I couldn't worry about it...... In my opinion, it is redundant, where can the third room be stained? The brothers of the six clans have not yet fallen behind, like those of us who have not contributed, we must have been hated for a long time......"

Shen Rui nodded and said: "Shen Zhu is narrow-minded, but he really seems to be able to hold grudges, even if it is not for this year, there are still things that have been inherited from before......"

Shen Quan was stunned: "I'm just saying it casually, but it's not like it......"

Shen Rui said: "Who knows, he has always had a high heart, this time he went out of Beijing with his tail between his legs, and it is certain to resent the six clan brothers, and it is not surprising to be angry with the second and fifth rooms."

Shen Quan and Shen Zhu are of the same age, and they grew up together when they were young, so they naturally know Shen Zhu's temperament, and Shen Rui's words are not untrue.

Shen Quan wrinkled his brows and said, "Bad luck, it's really untouchable."

Thinking of the hot water a few years ago, Shen Zhu's vicious temperament can be seen, Shen Quan couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, fortunately, Shen Zhu was stuck in the township test, if he passed the township test and entered Beijing to wait for the exam, he didn't know what to do, and thought of Shen Jin and said: "I don't know what Master He wants to say to Brother Jin?" It's really an old fox, it's obvious that their He family is not authentic, calculating three rooms, and now selling the six clan brothers doesn't say a face, and Brother Jin also wants to follow the favor......"

Shen Rui thought for a while and said: "Brother Jin's family affairs are almost decided, even if the He family wants to intervene, they can't intervene, all that remains is to put down the shelf and talk about 'uncle and nephew, friendship......"

Shen Quan sneered: "Indeed, the second master of He is in Songjiang, and he should only step on the Shen family, the He family is the first surname in Songjiang, but I don't want to think about the thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, the Shen family does not say others, only says that the six clan brothers and Brother Jin are two, and the top three are born, and I can't say that there will be a day when I enter the cabinet in the future, what does the He family have?" There is only one Beijing official, He Shilang, and in the past ten years, several Jinshi have been sideways, and they will not contact their in-laws, and as soon as He Shilang retires, there will be no one in the He family's capital......"

The two tacitly did not mention the four-room master, but thinking of the greedy faces of the mother and son of the four-room before, whether it was Shen Rui or Shen Quan, they knew that even if something bad happened this time, it would be difficult to keep the next time, and Shen Jin would not have less trouble to solve in the future, and the pillars of the four-room were not easy to do.

Yangzhou City, Fuxue.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Shen Yuan could sit still, almost dancing with his hands.

Li Ge wants to recruit a grandson-in-law? Sifang is going to marry Li Gelao? The eldest son competed for strength, and the weak crown was a champion at the age of the hand, and he also won the favor of the old court. Eight years ago, the scenery when Shen Li returned to his hometown to guard filial piety is still vivid, in addition to the county officials, even the governor Yamen sent people to inquire, in addition to being the champion, more importantly, the old son-in-law of the cabinet. Shen Jin is the second Shen Li.

Shen Yuan was both proud and sour. He was also good-looking and talented back then, but he was unlucky, and he was repaid by Changfang to marry a businessman as the original match, but one Shen Li and one Shen Jin were luckier than the other. Shen Li didn't say it, he was valued by Xie Ge Lao and married Xie Ge's old and young daughters; Shen Jin is also not bad here, although she is the granddaughter of the next generation, she is the only grandchild of Li Gelao.

Yangzhou is a prosperous place, well-informed is no less than the two capitals, who does not know that Li Ge's two sons died of illness, leaving only a granddaughter of a long house, and now the heir is the heir. This Miss Sun of the Li family is the only descendant of Li Gelao, if she doesn't say anything else, she will talk about the dowry, and she can't talk about finding a granddaughter.

This family business is really proper.

It is true that Li Ge is in a high position, but the Li family is just from a military family, where can it compare to the Shen family who have been eunuchs for many generations? According to the family, this family business is not considered to be the Shen family's high climbing.

Shen Yuan thought about the scenery of the old in-laws, put down the entanglement in his heart, and was already thinking about the dowry. Although his grade is not high, after all, he is the fourth branch of the Shen family, so he can't fall into the face of the Shen family.

It's just a four-room property, half of which is in Shen Jin's hands, half of which is He's dowry, and Shen Yuan has very little in his hands, even if he has some savings after arriving in Yangzhou, it is not enough to buy a dowry.

Finally waited until the afternoon, Shen Yuan took a turn in Fuxue, and hurried home to discuss the matter with the He family. Originally, the share in Shen Jin's hand should be taken out to buy a dowry first, but time waits for no one, and it is always difficult to go back and forth to Beijing to ask for it, so he had to talk to the He family first, borrow the living money from the second master He, and then ask for the title deed and house deed from Shen Jin and then make up for it.

No, the He family said a word, but it made Shen Yuan dumbfounded: "Didn't the master already change the Geng post of Brother Jin and the little lady of the Yan family?" No matter how good the Li family is, it shouldn't be."

Shen Yuan was immediately dumbfounded, sat in his seat, and muttered to himself: "Changed Geng Ti? ”

Seeing this, the He family couldn't help but be surprised: "The master forgot, it's still before the palace test, could it be that the Yan family is cheating on marriage?" ”

Shen Yuan's eyes lit up, he stood up with "Teng", gritted his teeth and said: "That's right, it's the old guy who cheated on Yan Jinguang, deliberately drunk me, and deceived Brother Jin'er about the marriage book, where can I do it?" I don't look at my own identity, but I am just a businessman who is in a cheap business, and I still want the champion to be my son-in-law, and I am delusional......"

What Shen Yuan said was vibrating, but He's eyelids jumped when he heard it.

Yan Jinguang is Yan Million, Yan Million is a businessman, but he is the first salt merchant in Yangzhou, and the guest of the prefect. Before, Yan Million was able to see Shen Yuan, who was not in the stream, in his eyes, and the twists and turns intersected, but what he saw was that Shen Yuan had a son of Xie Yuan, in order to get married.

In the past six months, eating, drinking, feasting, gold, jade and jewelry, how can there be any less? is the He family, because she occupies the position of a future mother-in-law, and the daughters of the Yan family are also quite respectful.

The Yan family has children and grandchildren, but there is only one daughter, so they choose a son-in-law like this. How much effort has been spent, and now a "cheating marriage" wants to be in vain, who is delusional?
