The carriage was ready, Shen Quan helped Guo Shi into the carriage, and Shen Rui was going to go with him. After all, it is Shen Rui's house, and all the people are arranged by Shen Rui, and they are slightly more familiar with the He family than others.

Shen Quan had already extinguished the idea of going to the sect theory, and Zhang Luo wanted to go with Shen Rui.

Before Shen Rui could speak, Guo had already picked up the curtain and said, "Haosheng stays at home, and it is good to have Brother Rui to take care of him." At this time, it is not when there are many people. ”

Shen Quan thought about it, so he stopped being verbose and watched the carriage leave.

Until the carriage disappeared at the mouth of the alley, Shen Quanfang patted his head and said, "Oh, I actually forgot, Brother Rui didn't have anything to say, but I forgot to ask him." ”

Shen Jin said: "Don't worry, Brother Rui has to send her aunt back in a while." ”

Shen Quan was choked by the behavior of the He family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law before, and he was also excited because he cared about it, but now that he had settled down, he touched his chin and said: "Brother Rui has never been a talkative person, but he took the initiative to speak, it seems that the six clan brothers have endured the sect to the end." ”

Shen Jin thought about it, there was indeed this possibility, and asked curiously: "What will the Six Clan Brothers do?" In the end, there is the face of Brother Jue in it, and there is a difference between the young and the old. Even if the six clan brothers wanted to do something, the other people in the house would not respond. ”

Shen Ying in the fifth room is about to return to his hometown, the second room is already far away from the tribe, Shen Li in the ninth room does not mean to mention the people of the tribe, and the Songjiang clan is the son of Shen Hui who is watching and helping each other in the officialdom, which is also the reason why Shen Hai, the patriarch, is mediocre and confused, and still sits firmly in the position of the patriarch.

Shen Quan raised his eyebrows and said: "The patriarch has been more and more confused in the past few months, and now his reputation is discredited, that is, the old lady of the third room has gone, otherwise with his old man's seniority, he will have to fight for the patriarch of the third room!" Now the elder in the clan who can speak is the ninth master, but Brother Lu was also detained by Jinyiwei to the prefect's yamen yesterday. Although he was only a witness, the disaster on the side of Second Brother Ling was indeed caused by him. The ninth master is worried that his grandson will be too late, and he will not have the heart to think about anything else at this time. ”

"Could it be a change of patriarch?" Shen Jin remembered Shen Rui's expression before, looked at Shen Quan, and thought thoughtfully.

Shen Quan was furious, took a step back, and said, "How do you look at people like this?" ”

Shen Jin said in a low voice: "Didn't you say before that the brothers of the six clans were unwilling to endure the sect?" Looking at Rui Ge'er's meaning, it is most likely that the six clan brothers have made a decision and want to change the patriarch. ”

Shen Quan hesitated: "The sixth clan brother wants to let the patriarch retreat and let the second brother Jun go?" But this father, father and son are still a family, what is the meaning of such a toss? Even if the second brother Jun understands better than the patriarch, the father is the son, and he doesn't have to listen to Lao Tzu when he encounters things. ”

"Yes, the six clan brothers will also think of this, so this patriarch is probably going to change the head!" Shen Jin said.

To say that the Shen family suffered this disaster this time, Sifang did not suffer directly, but was still one of the disasters. Shen Jin here, he shouldn't have any complaints about the sect. But people's hearts are biased, and he is close to Shen Rui and Wufang, so he naturally stands on Wufang's position. If Shen Ling died violently at a young age, it would be a pity that it would be ten points, and Shen Qi would have eight points if he broke his right arm. For a scholar, it is also very cruel to have a physical disability and cut off the hope of the imperial examination.

If the third son of the Shen family was imprisoned, the patriarch Shen Hai became tough, with the many children of the Shen family in the field, as well as the status of the first surname of the Shen family in Songjiang, how could Zhao Xianzhong dare to torture? Among them, there are reasons why Yan Juren was bewitched, and there are also reasons why Shen Hai mishandled it, which made Zhao Xianzhong look down on the Shen family.

The prefect of a good and wealthy place is less than the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he is considered to be young and strong in the officialdom, and he has a good future, even if there is a looting of Songjiang in front of him, if the Shen family is tough and looks difficult to handle, Zhao Xianzhong will not fight with the Shen family.

It was precisely because of Shen Hai's small actions that Zhao Xianzhong could see that the heads of the Shen family were not monolithic, so he acted rampantly.

For Shen Ling's death, Zhao Xianzhong and Yan Juren have five points of responsibility, three points are in Shen Hai, and the remaining two points are Shen Yong, who expelled him from the family tree immediately after Shen Ling's accident. And Shen Yong was able to quickly remove the eldest son from the name, also because Shen Hai, the patriarch, nodded.

"But which head of the house can bear this?" Shen Quan looked back at the door of the fourth room, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "You won't let Uncle Yuan go to the prime minister's family affairs, right?" The six-room population is scarce, and the elders of the house are low; The seventh room has always listened to the eighth room, the old lady of the eighth room is gone, and the uncle is a grandson who has to keep filial piety for three years; Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the ninth room, only the six clan brothers are qualified, but he is going back to Beijing; Sanfang has been defeated in the past few years, and several clan uncles have moved to various places, and they have already become a plate of scattered sand. Only Uncle Hu and Second Uncle Yong stayed in Songjiang, and because of the previous separation, the brothers turned against each other, and they couldn't wait to get along with each other, where could they have the prestige to meddle in the affairs of the clan? ”

"There are nine rooms inside and outside the Shen family, has the third brother pulled a head of the house?" Shen Jin was a little joking.

"Huh?" Shen Quan blinked, and after a while, Fang said, "But the fifth room is an outer room?" The inheritance of this patriarch is not all in the clan room, when an old patriarch passed away, the son of the sect was young, and there were other heads of the house in charge of the clan affairs, until the son of the clan grew up, but that was the candidate for the head of the clan affairs, and it was also the third room inside. I mentioned the other rooms just now, and that's all. ”

The ancestor of the Songjiang Shen family gave birth to four sons, who are the first generation of the inner four rooms; The outer five rooms, except for the first generation of the five rooms, are the brothers of the ancestors, and the other four rooms are the nephews and relatives of the ancestors after they defected to Songjiang.

are also clansmen, the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth four rooms and other rooms have long been unsuited, the fifth room and the inner four rooms have just been served, and the inner four rooms are in Shen Yuan's generation of clan brothers, and they are out of service in Shen Rui's generation.

However, both are clansmen, and they must also be separated from distant relatives, just like when Sun died of illness that year, Guo asked his children to serve Sun for three months of filial piety, which is according to the theory of serving relatives; As for Sister Fu, the youngest daughter of the Sun family, because she inherited the kindness of the Sun family and was the goddaughter of the Sun family, she served filial piety for a year.

When it came to Shen Hong's funeral, Shen Rui and Shen Jin were also dressed according to the linen.

"It's just a generation of bloodline, and the fifth room is already the closest to the inner four-room bloodline! If the patriarch wants to be replaced, and it can't be inherited in the clan, then it must be changed, even if it is just 'escrow', it can also teach the patriarch a lesson. This Shen family is a gathering clan, and it is the Shen family at the head of the house, not the Shen family that is the dominant family in the clan. The second house moved to the capital, and he would not interfere in the clan affairs of Songjiang, but he would not let the clansmen act, otherwise it would be impossible to guarantee when something like this year would happen again; Although Uncle Sanfanghu is also close to knowing the age of the Mandate of Heaven, he is a hands-off shopkeeper and does not know general affairs, otherwise he would not have a huge industry soon in hand, and let the second master He cheat most of it; There is no need to say anything about my father. The shortcomings of the other rooms in the outer room are also said by your third brother, so it seems that there are other candidates besides the fifth room? Besides, Second Brother Qi will stay in Songjiang in the future, and he can't stay out of the door, and it is not a bad thing to have something to do. Shen Jin said.

Shen Quan didn't expect his own family before, but after listening to Shen Jin's words, he understood that no one could temporarily replace the clan affairs except for the fifth room. Especially Shen Qi, a young man, and he has been trained in the capital, either Shen Quan is partial to his brother, or let outsiders say that Shen Qi is not inferior to Shen Jun.

In addition to being the second son of the patriarch, Shen Jun also has Shen Jun, the official's brother, as a foreign aid, which makes the clansmen have to obey; Replaced by Shen Qi, even if he is not an official, he also has his brother Shen Ying as a backer.

Compared with Shen Hui's exiled prefect, Shen Ying, who was born in Hanlin, was once a subordinate of the Upper East Palace, which shows a bright future.

Thinking of this, Shen Quan's eyes lit up. The anger that had begun to learn that Zongfang might have started a deal with the He family in the morning gradually extinguished. It's not that he covets the patriarch's false name, or has any intentions for the ancestral property, but because he has always been at ease with Shen Qi these days.

Shen Qi is not yet in his prime, how will he survive such a setback in the future? Recuperating in my hometown, how to untie the knot that dragged my father to death? Or go to the capital and live by your brother and sister-in-law?

Either way, it's reassuring.

If Shen Qi can take over the position of patriarch, he will have to worry about other things; If there are clansmen here, they can be a little more polite.

As for whether the sect is willing to hand over the clan affairs, Shen Quan has nothing to worry about you. In the early years, the old patriarch of the Shen family had ready-made clan rules, but it was only because of the dominance of the clan over the years that it became a hall of words, which made the clan rules empty. According to Article 9 of the Shen clan rules of that year, if the patriarch acted improperly, the head of each house could jointly elect a new patriarch to take over the clan affairs. It's just that because the clan is a large heir, and the other houses are small sects, the new patriarch still has the responsibility of teaching the sect, and will hand over the clan affairs to the sect after leaving office in the future.

Even if there is a matter of Zongzi, there is nothing to worry about. Shen Qi is not yet thirty years old, and the current son is Shen Hui, the two of them are brothers of the same generation, and there is no place for "teaching". When Shen Qi is sixty or seventy years old and steps down as the patriarch, if the son of the sect is still virtuous, if he is still confused, then he will put on the false name of the sect family, and then select the acting patriarch from other houses.

At that time, Shen Hai, the former patriarch who stepped down due to fault, even if he was still the elder of the sect's sons and grandsons, had little room to speak. And the He family, who has calculated the Shen family three times and twice, should also be careful.

Shen Quan thought of that scene and felt a burst of happiness.

Shen Jin heard the movement at the mouth of the alley, looked up, and saw a simple carriage coming slowly from the mouth of the alley, the target was this side, but I didn't know whether to come to the fourth room or the fifth room.
