Chapter 433: Joy and Sorrow (4)
The Shen family was worried, and finally married Sister Yu'er, and "returned to the door" to recognize her relatives in three days, which was also a thorough courtesy.
When the little couple was sent away, the Shen family sent the red silk everywhere, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. In the end, if the happy event is halfway through, the Shen family will have nothing on their side, but they are afraid that the Mao family will respond in their hearts.
Although the Shen family has no Shen Cang, they can still be the backing of Sister Yu, but when a woman marries, living at home is not a war. When the two families are really "Ding to Ding and Mao to Mao", this in-law will come to an end.
Shen Cang himself, which can be regarded as a peace of mind, is in the mood to think of something else, when talking to Shen Zhou, he has to ask again: "I see that Brother Ling is a good person, and he is also thoughtful in his words and actions, and Brother Ling'er's Yue family was chosen by yourself, and it is agreeable if you think about it, so you don't think about it anymore?" ”
The day after Shen Zhou arrived in Beijing, Shen Ling also arrived in Beijing and lived in Shangshu Mansion with Shen Zhou.
When preparing for Sister Yu'er's family affairs, because Shen Qi and Shen Quan came to help, Shen Ling did not take the initiative to get to Shen Rui's side, but followed behind Shen Zhou, and helped when she could, she was willing to work hard without stealing the limelight.
Although Shen Cang was asleep for most of the half month, when he was awake, he also heard the Xu family and the third master praise Shen Ling. He had personally met Shen Ling twice, and he could see that although Shen Ling had some small calculations, he was still upright and generous.
On the side of the small third room, Shen Cang shared the rich industry early, which saved the husband and wife from worrying about the future; On the side of the small second room, Shen Cang also did his best to pave the way for Shen Zhou, but the broken heir of the small second room also made Shen Cang a little worried.
Even if Qiao's family is now paralyzed in bed and can't toss anymore, with Sun's past feelings, it is too difficult for Shen Rui to be in the second room. When the time comes, it will not be embarrassing or embarrassing, and it will not be as good as the name of uncle and nephew.
Shen Zhou shook his head and said, "Big brother, although Brother Ling is good, but those people in the third room are a headache, I'm really afraid of trouble...... On the side of Rui Ge'er, if you don't want to do both, you don't want to ...... It's too early to mention this now, and I'll talk about it later......"
The world values the inheritance of incense, but Shen Zhou is very disheartened, perhaps this is because God has eyes, so he can cut off his descendants.
Seeing his younger brother so paranoid, Shen Cang couldn't help frowning. But this topic, the two brothers have not talked about it once in the past half a month, but Shen Zhou has no intention of letting go.
Shen Cang couldn't, so he had to explain to Shen Rui behind his back: "Your second uncle has had a smooth ride in the first half of his life, and there have been too many setbacks in the second half of his life, and his temperament has become paranoid, so he can't persuade his father...... It's just that no matter how angry he is, in the end, he is a brother and sister to his father, and now that his family is not a family, the evening is bleak, which is not what I want...... If you can take care of it in the future, you will take care of one or two, and it can be regarded as a complete flesh and blood relationship......"
Shen Cang didn't mention a word about the "" and "out" small second room. Although he knew that now, if he mentioned this matter, Shen Rui might not refuse because of filial piety, but he would definitely not be too happy in his heart, so why bother to embarrass the child for the sake of a false name.
It's true that there are siblings over there, but Shen Rui is also the heir who wants to inherit his incense, even if he leaves, the Xu family will have to rely on Shen Rui to support his old age in the future.
After Shen Cang said this, Shen Rui responded: "Father rest assured, they are all flesh and blood, the past is over, and the son is free to honor the second uncle as if he were filial to the third uncle......"
As for the grievances and hatreds of thirty years ago, they are too far away. If Shen Rui made the family uneasy because of that calculation, it would be too boring. But an uncle and a nephew are an uncle and a nephew, and if you go further, you can't.
Regarding the rumors that Shen Zhou wanted Shen Rui to "take advantage of it", Shen Rui also heard a thing or two, and here he is expressing his position.
Shen Cang didn't think it was wrong, but was quite satisfied, nodded and said, "That's good......"
Regarding this matter, the father and son have a tacit understanding.
Shen Cang remembered something and reminded: "I explained before that you have an heir in the future, and you must take this matter to heart if you have an heir in the future, and leave a matter to inherit the incense of Mrs. Sun...... Your mother and I can worship Mrs. Sun like an uncle, who is your grandfather, and I don't think I will be despised in your generation...... can be passed on to children and grandchildren, the kindness is far away, the love is weak, and it is necessary to be negligent...... After passing through the incense past, the old man of the province also cut off the incense......"
He didn't support Shen Rui and Xiao Erfang before, and he was also worried about the affairs of Mrs. Sun's family.
Before the third grandfather died, he explained to Shen Cang and his wife that he hoped that they would inherit their second son to Mrs. Sun in the future. But Shen Cang had no children and no daughters in his life, and he wanted to explain this matter to Shen Luo as a posthumous matter, but he didn't expect it to fall on Shen Rui after all.
Shen Rui knew that the ancients attached great importance to the incense offering behind him, and he had no objection to this matter, so he solemnly responded again. However, he was curious in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Father, is this Mrs. Sun really surnamed Sun?" ”
Shen Cang listened, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said, "Thirty years ago, I also asked the grandfather like this......"
"What did grandfather say?" Shen Ruidao.
Shen Cang shook his head and said, "The master didn't say anything......"
This answer is quite surprising.
Shen Cang looked at Shen Rui and said thoughtfully: "Brother Rui doesn't believe that there are people with different surnames in this world who have more than flesh and blood?" ”
"Not really." Shen Ruidao.
It's just that who jumped out of the cracks in the stones? This grandfather Sun was also raised by his father's mother, is there no family, no in-laws? Why do you want to leave all your property to the third master? And the third master is calm.
In addition to the so-called "kindness", if there is no other source, I always feel that it is unreasonable.
Shen Cang smiled lightly: "Back then, I also wondered if Mrs. Sun was the second uncle who was 'immortal in the disaster', and I also asked your grandfather about it, but I didn't get an answer...... Yes and no...... Mrs. Sun's true grace to the grandfather to save his life, and the grandfather does respect the third grandfather as a brother, we are the younger generations, do not forget the instructions of the elders, and don't forget the righteousness......"
If Mrs. Sun is really the second master who didn't see the corpse back then, the Sun family is an adopted daughter, not a biological daughter, and Mrs. Sun will leave the property to the Shen family, not to his daughter; And the third grandfather first wanted to give out his stepson, and then set a family affair, and after the two family affairs were ruined, he would rather expel his son than forgive, which seems to be reasonable.
However, Mrs. Sun and the third master have been dead for many years, and now even if future generations have speculations, it is specious, and it is impossible to determine the origin of the year.
After saying this for a while, Shen Cang was already tired, and just as Xu came in with medicine, Shen Rui stepped aside.
Looking at the black medicinal soup, Shen Cang couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, and looked at his wife with warm eyes: "Do you still want to take this medicine?" ”
"I want to eat!" Xu's tone was gentle, but his expression was very firm.
Shen Cang smiled helplessly, didn't ramble any more, took the medicine bowl from his wife's hand, and drank it all.
This medicine is mainly for analgesia and sleep, and Shen Cang dozed off after using it for a while. Shen Rui stepped forward and put Shen Cang down with the Xu family, watching him fall asleep groggily.
Shen Cang's expression was calm, but Shen Rui hesitated, and said softly: "Mother, looking at my father's meaning, I didn't want to take medicine anymore......"
Even if the pain is unbearable, but in a state of wakefulness, but you can fall asleep with drugs like this, but you don't know who you are, and you can't say when you will fall asleep and die.
With Shen Cang's temper, if it weren't for Sister Yu'er to marry peacefully, she would definitely not take such a medicine. Now that Sister Yu'er's family affairs are over, Shen Cang naturally wants to stop the medicine, but under his wife's expectations, he can't bear it.
Xu's tears fell, staring at her husband's face and whispering: "Although the imperial doctor said that the New Year was difficult, maybe, maybe he could pass it...... Even if the old man falls asleep like this, as long as the old man is still there, it will be good......"
She knew that she was deceiving herself, but when it came to life and death, she was still looking forward to a glimmer of hope.
Shen Rui didn't persuade again, only took a towel and handed it to Xu to wipe his face.
Xu waved his hand and said: "I'll accompany the master, Rui Ge'er will go back first, these **** are also lacking......"
Seeing that Xu's gaze never left Shen Cang, Shen Rui also felt that he was redundant, so he responded and came out of the upper room.
There is an old folk saying, "Young couples come to be companions", Shen Cang and the Xu couple used to be just respectful of each other, but now they are sad to watch.

In the study, Shen Zhou put down his pen, which was the leave excerpt he had prepared. Originally, he was supposed to leave for Nanjing before the end of the month, but Shen Zhou didn't want to leave. Although the Xu family is still struggling after doing the worst, the two masters of the Shen family and Shen Rui both understand in their hearts that Shen Cang will not be able to survive for long.
With the same prescription, Shen Cang's sleepiness is getting longer and longer, which makes people worry.
Now that Shen Zhou is dragging out the day of departure, this leave is all prepared first.
At this time, a little maid came in to report: "Second master, young master Ling is here......"
Shen Zhou said: "Call him in." ”
The little servant went down, Shen Ling came in, bowed down and said, "Second uncle, my nephew is here, please tell me if you have something......
Shen Zhou said: "I was supposed to go to work before the end of the month, but the house is like this now, I don't want to leave, count the days, the big luggage or something should also arrive in Beijing in the next few days, and when they arrive in Beijing, you will take someone to take the first step and send Qiao's south......"
Shen Ling was shocked when she heard this: "Second uncle, if you don't take office after the deadline, you have to bear it!" ”
Shen Zhou said: "The deadline is to leave Beijing before the end of the month, and now the day has not yet arrived, so it is not overdue...... The law is nothing more than human affection, and I will talk about it at the end of the month......"
Although Shen Ling was full of worries, she also saw that the uncles in the second room were very affectionate, and they were not the kind of people in the third room who had no brotherly affection for just looking at money. Shen Cang is the eldest brother again, the eldest brother is like a father, and it is understandable that Shen Zhou respects Shen Cang a little.
Since the elders have made a decision, and one of the juniors in the next room listens to it, Shen Ling responds honestly and goes down to prepare. As for why Qiao's family, who was paralyzed in bed, was not left to recuperate in Beijing, and he had to travel thousands of miles to take him to office, it was not something that he should talk too much about as a junior.
Coincidentally, the book was not written, just when Shen Zhou remembered the luggage behind him, a carriage came in front of the Shangshu Mansion the next day. In addition to the luggage cart, in addition to the maidservant and mother-in-law, there was also a young woman in the carriage that pulled people......
even if
