Volume 1 - Who Have Seen Again Chapter 228 Preparing for a Rainy Day (2)
"Mother. Uncle Hai ......"
The crisp children's voice was gone, and the boy's voice was a little hoarse.
Mrs. Zongfang sat there, only to feel that her body had frozen, and the thoughts of more than a year were surging out
In front of her is the flesh and blood she gave birth to in October, but what has she done in the past ten years? self-pity, because of her husband's change of heart, she was angry with her young son, and she didn't scold at the twilight, but she did more than that. When he was a child, he pushed him away again and again, until "mother" became "mother", "mother" became "wife", and his eyes became cold and alienated.
The biggest revenge for a mother is that her son is in front of her, but he no longer belongs to her.
"Uncle Hai", this title is like a knife, piercing her heart.
Qiao's was placed under house arrest by her husband all the way, and she had already held back her anger, and she was very interested in this kind of "confession". Because of thinking of the fourth brother in the capital, Qiao's even complained about her husband, and she didn't bother to get close to Shen Jue.
However, after seeing the reaction of Mrs. Zongfang, Qiao's woke up.
Shen Jue was born in the sect, and this one in front of him is his biological mother.
Seeing that the eldest lady of the sect had red eyes, Qiao's heart was a little disdainful, he really felt sorry for his son, how could he be willing to be an heir? Now that he has given his son as an heir, what benefits do you want to seek by acting like this? It's just that it's not shy away from people like this, isn't it too much? She's the heir, but she's sitting on the side.
Originally, seeing that the eldest lady of the sect was acting and speaking similar to the Xu family, and at first glance she was a stereotypical woman with a bad temper, Qiao's heart was uncomfortable and she didn't want to greet her.
Waiting for Shen Luo to come in and say goodbye, the eldest lady of the sect was so moved, and Qiao's faintly felt a little happy.
Even if it is a clan wife, even if it is full of children and grandchildren, the son who raised her is still hers
Qiao Shi looked at Shen Jue with a loving face: "The third brother can see the patriarch and the sea master?" ”
"I've seen it." Shen Jue replied in a low voice.
Qiao Shi smiled: "Then sit down and talk, and let your aunt take a good look at you...... If you don't raise a child, you don't know the kindness of your parents, in the end, you will be born, even if you can't see it again in the future, you must not forget the kindness of ......"
Shen Jue stood there, glanced up at the eldest lady of the sect, and then obeyed Qiao's orders and sat down under Qiao's.
The eldest lady of the sect let out a long breath, her face had calmed down, and she said to Shen Jue: "The second master of Zhou was born in Jinshi, and he has been in Hanlin for many years, Brother Luo should see Xian Siqi in the future, and he wants to study well......
Shen Jue got up and listened, and answered in a low voice.
Although Qiao's dislike of Mrs. Zongfang's preaching tone, because she praised her husband in her words, she couldn't say anything, so she only said: "The third brother has very good reading qualifications, and our master has also praised it...... On the way south, it was also our lord who urged the third brother to study......"
She has always spoken softly, but this time she added an accent to the word "third brother", which seemed to be dissatisfied with the title of Shen Luo by the eldest lady of the sect.
Shen Jue's expression was a little blank, and he did not have the joy of reuniting with his relatives after a long absence.
Mrs. Zongfang has always acted dignified, but now she has some thoughts.
Qiao Shi lowered his head and sneered in his heart......
Front yard, living room.
The patriarch and the eldest master of the sect, Shen, father and son are all here, Shen Zhou is the second time to come to Songjiang, and he is familiar with everyone in the sect, but he is no stranger now.
The eldest lord of the sect was overjoyed, and the patriarch's expression was much warmer.
Although when Shen Zhou came over in the first half of the year, he said that he would not isolate Shen Jue's contacts with the Bunsheng family, but everyone would say good things that Songjiang is more than 2,000 miles away from the capital, and if the elders of the sect go to Beijing to visit the descendants who have already passed on, it will be too uninteresting.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhou would be released out of Beijing, and Shen Jue would also go south.
The patriarch's grandson has five grandsons, and his great-grandson also has him, but only Shen Jue can bring him up in person. I thought that I would not be able to see my little grandson in my lifetime, but now that I can see each other, how can the patriarch not be pleased?
Shen, as a junior, respectfully accompanied the last seat, and there was no room to speak, but when he saw his grandfather and father, he either asked about Shen Jue, or mentioned Shen Rui in the capital, and he didn't mention anything else at all, and he was very hesitant in his heart.
If Shen Yan hadn't been lifted, he wouldn't have gone to Beijing to be an eyesore; But now that Shen Yan has been lifted, he can't say that he has already set off to Beijing to try it out, should he inform the second room?
Shen Zhou saw Shen's strange appearance and said with a smile: "Now that the autumn season has passed for two months, I haven't asked my brother yet, are there any children in the clan who are on the list this year?" ”
This is to stop Shen from asking.
Is this Shen Yan a child of the clan?
Shen Zhou was quite surprised when he saw that he was not happy: "Shen Jin is the first class in the four-room Shen Jin exam, but Qiu Yu is not on the list?" ”
When the fifth room enters Beijing, he will tell Shen Rui about the gossip of the fourth room, but he will not make a special trip to talk to Shen Zhou.
Shen Jin was injured before Shen Zhou was about to leave Songjiang in April, and the subordinates of the sect were not as broken as the villains in the fourth room, so Shen Zhou didn't know the news.
Shen smiled bitterly: "Brother Jin fell and injured himself in April and missed this township test...... Although there were four clan uncles and uncles and brothers, the result was nothing......"
Although he wanted to mention Shen Yan and plead for Shen Yan's brothers, he still didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of his grandfather and father.
Shen Zhou said: "The people next to it, it is good to have one or two reading seeds in a generation, our Shen family's jade generation has produced three jinshi, two lifters, and several students, and they are already worthy of the scholarly family, so they don't have to worry about one subject or two subjects......"
Shen Dao: "What Second Uncle Zhou said is true. ”
Knowing the son is Mo Ruo's father, the son is spitting out, others can't see it, where can't the master of the sect still see it?
Although the affairs of the Shaw Brothers are selfish, Shen Yan has a reputation for making a name for himself, unless he gives up the imperial examination and never enters Beijing, this matter will always be revealed again.
To say that in the past, the eldest master of the sect sympathized with Shen Yan and Brother Shen in his heart, hoping that they could return to the sect, but now he has changed his mind.
Although there is no ancestral property to fight for in the second room, even if Shen Yan and Shen brothers return to the sect, it will not affect the status of Shen Rui and Shen Jue brothers, but who knows if the two brothers have a grudge against the Shen family in their hearts?
If they resented the clansmen because their fathers and ancestors were away, the hatred would fall on the second room. Let the two brothers take advantage of the Shen family's momentum to rise up and turn around and take revenge on the Shen family, that is a big joke.
Whether to restrain the Shen Yan brothers with family rules or let the two brothers go, the eldest master of the sect and Shen also made a special trip to discuss this matter.
In fact, in order to get rid of future troubles, it is better to bind the two brothers in the clan. Otherwise, although they would not be allowed to borrow the power of the Shen family, the Shen clan was also not qualified to discipline and restrain their brothers.
However, because the Xu family had already spoken last year, the Zongfang could not go beyond the second room to be the master of the second room, and the father and son did not have a charter.
When the eldest master of the sect thought of this, he sent Shen down to prepare the banquet, and then mentioned Shen Yan's move to Shen Zhou.
It was not the first time that Shen Zhou had heard this name, and when he came over in the first half of the year, although he had not seen the Shen Yan brothers, he had also heard of the descendants of this lineage left by the Shao family.
"Twenty-year-old is a rare person...... Shen Zhou praised.
He has no grudges or hatred for the descendants of the Shaw family, but it is really a few generations apart, and the age of grievances and grievances is too long
He listened to the affairs of the Shen Yan brothers, which were similar to the affairs of strangers.
The eldest master of the sect said: "Although Shen Yan is not on the Shen family tree, the name of the late old lady is still marked on the official register......
Shen Zhou himself was tested step by step, so he naturally knew what was going on, and waved his hand and said: "This is also a matter of no way, candidates need to fill in the names of three generations, and the column of great-grandfather must not be empty." ”
The eldest master of the sect hesitated for a moment and said: "When the eldest lady came to Songjiang Province last year, Shen Yan's brother Shen asked someone to send a message to return to the sect as a concubine, but was rejected by the eldest lady...... Now that Shen Yan has entered Beijing like this to take the Ministry of Etiquette exam, I am afraid that the eldest lady will not like it when he hears it......"
Shen Zhou said disappreciably: "My sister-in-law has always been lenient, where can I worry about a child?" The capital is so big, as long as he doesn't go to the second room......"
The patriarch was listening, and when he saw Shen Zhou being so "generous", he couldn't help frowning.
The changes in the past of the second room are too far away for the eldest master of the sect and Shen Zhou, but the patriarch has experienced it himself.
At that time, the eldest master of the second room had already made an appointment, and the second master was also fourteen or five. If the two brothers hadn't had an accident, they would have had a lot of children and grandchildren.
Since the old lady in the second room left a message and did not allow the son of the Shaw family to return to the sect, it is also the right thing for the younger generations in the second room to obey. Xu's treatment of Shen Yan's brothers is the truth of being a child; is like Shen Zhou, who is not painful or itchy, which is a bit of an eyesore to watch.
To say that the patriarch had a little soft-hearted towards Shen Yan and the Shen brothers before, but when he heard that Shen claimed to be a "second-room descendant", he was gone.
At that time, sixty or seventy years had passed, and the insiders were almost dead.
Not many people even know about these things, let alone the jade generation.
Shen's words as a "second-room descendant" are not a child's own speculation. The sons of the Shaw Brothers and the grandsons of the Shaw Brothers, if they really have remorse for the mistakes of their ancestors, where can they boast of themselves like this?
Shen Zhou's temper is so soft, he doesn't look like an official? The patriarch was inexplicably worried
Nanjing, Qiao's house.
"It's already mid-October, and if you don't move, it's too late to ......regret it," Qiao San frowned.
In front of him, there was a young man in Confucian clothes, who replied: "There are many students who are deficient, and it is a fluke to be able to enter the B list, where do you dare to hope for the first list?" Instead of tossing and turning back and forth, it is better to study for another three years with peace of mind. ”
Looking at the gentle and elegant young man in front of him, Master Qiao San couldn't help but feel a little admiration. Not everyone has such self-knowledge, and if they feel that their homework is not enough, they will give up the examination of the Ministry of Rites, and they can also put down their bodies and take the initiative to go to the school to seek employment.
Master Qiao San was born in the family of the eunuch, even if the family is in the middle of the road, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and most of the friends who come and go are the children of the eunuchs; Even if there are occasional children from poor families, most of them are high and arrogant.
Shen Yan's character acts, but he is calm and frank, which is gratifying.
Even though Shen Yan's identity was a little embarrassing, Master Qiao San still didn't want to give up this son-in-law candidate, and could only hope that his brother-in-law and brother-in-law would arrive in Nanjing as soon as possible......
