After drinking a large bowl of chicken and mushroom porridge, Shen put down his chopsticks, burped, and was satisfied.

After being sick for a few days, in addition to drinking bitter decoction and medicine, he just ate white porridge, and he didn't get any oil or water, and he was hungry for a long time. Although there are no big fish and meat in front of him, in the end there is meat and fish, which relieves his cravings.

Bai sat opposite Shen, looking at his youngest son like this, and said with distress on his face: "It's hard for my son, and I've lost weight......

Shen "hehe" twice, pinched his face and said: "Why does the child think that he is still fat, but he has made the eldest brother suffer, and he has even asked for leave from the academy in order to take care of me in the past few days." ”

Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread.

Shen looks alive now, and when he was sick a few days ago, he was also suspenseful. The Bai family is weak, and only has the share of others to take care of them, not to take care of people; Although Qiao's is the eldest sister-in-law, in the year of Jasper, she is a bride, and it is too late to avoid seclusion between uncles and sisters-in-law, where can she come forward to take care of people? The rest is only Shen Yan, the pillar of the family.

Shen Yan wanted to take care of his brother and comfort his weak mother, so he went to the academy to ask for a few days off.

Bai frowned and said, "He is an elder brother, and it is right to take care of his brother." It's just that some people really don't deserve the name of sister-in-law. Saying this, it was a little annoying.

Qiao's entered the door last month, and dozens of dowries did not bury the name of the official lady. Even if the Qiao family is down, the third room is rich, and the Qiao family's dowry is full of silk and satin, gold hairpins and jade rings, everything, and it also dazzles the eyes of the Bai family.

The Bai family didn't have the intention of encroaching on his daughter-in-law's dowry, but he just felt that Shen Yan's brother's future was important, and there was no money in the family before, so Shen Yan had no way to work part-time in the academy; Now that she has married a daughter-in-law with a rich dowry, she has subsidized the family and supported her husband's uncle to study, which is the proper duty of a virtuous woman.

When Shen Yan won the Jinshi, Feng Guanxia's edict was invited down, and naturally there was a share of Qiao's; It's Shen, can you still take advantage of your brother and sister-in-law for nothing? When he gets ahead, he is naturally grateful to Qiao's sister-in-law

Thinking like this, the Bai family privately persuaded the eldest son to unload the academy errand, but was rejected by Shen Yan. Although the Bai family complained that Shen Yan was stubborn and didn't listen to the old man, he complained more about his daughter-in-law's lack of interest.

Shen was still savoring the sweetness of the chicken porridge, and Bai had already counted a few more words, and the more he spoke, the more explicit it it became, and he almost complained directly about his dissatisfaction with his daughter-in-law.

Shen suddenly felt a headache, although he was still a little rusty about his sister-in-law, but seeing Qiao's excellent appearance and obedient temperament, he was also happy for his brother. It's just that the widow's mother always talked about her mother's family and the Shen family before, talking about the injustice of the two families, as if her mother and son had been greatly wronged; Now that he has a daughter-in-law, he has been transferred, and his dissatisfaction with his mother's family and the Shen family has been completely transferred to Qiao's family

It has only been half a month since Qiao Shi entered the door, and Qiao Shi has already muttered "old man has nothing to support" in front of his son. It's as if Qiao's is a bad daughter-in-law, and she wants to abuse her mother-in-law and treat her brother-in-law slowly.

Shen persuaded him twice but didn't use it, so he could only sigh.

People's hearts are big flesh, no matter how filial and respectful Qiao's is, as long as the Bai family is so suspicious, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will have a bad relationship one day.

It seems that I have to talk to my eldest brother and come up with a solution as soon as possible, there are only four people in this family, and I should get along well.

Shen was thinking about it when he heard footsteps outside.

"When the eldest brother is back......" Shen looked at the hourglass and said.

Bai Shi listened to the footsteps getting farther away, pulled down his face and said: "It must be back in the East Chamber, now the two over there are two families, and our mother and mother are outsiders......"

"What did my mother say? The eldest brother just came back from outside, shouldn't he go back to the house to change his clothes? Shen smiled.

Bai Shi was still a little indignant, and said: "You have no heart and lungs, and you are carefully regarded as a ...... who eats white food."

Shen touched his nose and said, "The child is also older, and the family's livelihood should not be all on the eldest brother...... It's just that I can't move the time now, and when the township exam is over next year, the child also wants to accept a few students to bring ......

The Qiao family didn't enter the door before, and the mother and son depended on each other, even if Shen Quan relied on his brother, he didn't feel weak at all. Now that Qiao's has entered the door, Shen himself is also old, but it is a little difficult to "eat white food" anymore

As for Qiao's rich dowry, he has never been on the hearts of Shen Yan and Shen brothers. In the eyes of the two brothers, it is a man's business to support the family, even if the wife has a dowry, it is just a dowry. Even Shen Yan calculated the Bai family's private house before, and it was also to teach his mother a lesson, rather than really plotting money.

When Bai heard this, he only felt distressed. She didn't think that Shen had grown up, and she knew that she was sympathetic to her brother, so she just treated Qiao's ghost and said, "Did Qiao's give my son a look?" She's just pretending to be honest, their Qiao family is snobbish and used to looking down on people......"

Before the words fell, someone picked up the curtain and entered the west chamber.

The person who came was Shen Yan, who just heard the last sentence of the Bai family, and frowned: "What's wrong with the Qiao family?" Is it from the Qiao family? ”

The Bai family dared to say small things unscrupulously in front of the youngest son, but he didn't dare to face the eldest son. She stood up and said, "Who is coming here without a festival?" It's just a few words of gossip, you two brothers talk, and my mother went back to the house......"

Shen Yan didn't open his mouth to keep anyone, but after Bai left, his already cold face became tighter and tighter

Shen thought that his brother was worried about the relationship between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at home, and just wanted to persuade him, he heard him: "Didn't anyone from the Qiao family come today?" ”

Shen said curiously: "I didn't come, what's wrong with Qiao's family, is there something wrong?" ”

Shen Yan frowned and sat opposite Shen, sighed and said, "It's not the Qiao family, it's the Shen family...... Shen Jue died......"

Shen listened, and stood up with a "Teng" face, full of concern: "Shen Jue is injured?" How did it hurt, serious or not? ”

They were all alarmed to the point of Qiao's family, it must have hurt a lot, how could Shen not be anxious after hearing it?

Shen Yan's brothers were taken care of by the master of the sect in Songjiang, and Shen and Shen Jue were classmates in the clan for another two years, Shen Yan was not curious that he cared about Shen Jue, and said in a muffled voice: "It's not an injury, it's the wind evil that has entered the body, and it can't be treated and died, and it has been suspended ......for three days."

Shen Jue fainted in class in the academy three days ago, and was personally sent back to Shen's house by Tian Shanchang, and many teachers and students in the academy knew about it. When the Shen family reported the funeral, the Tian family's nephews went over to pay tribute, and the news of Shen Jue's illness was transmitted back to the academy.

Although it has only been half a month since he entered the school, Shen Jue was born in Shangshu Mansion, he is the nephew of Shangshu in the current dynasty, and he is one of the best among his classmates in the academy, which naturally attracts the secret attention of many people. Teenagers, when they say that they are dead, even if the teachers and students of the academy mention it, they can't help but sigh.

Shen Yan heard the news at noon, forced his emotions to suppress his emotions, and only after finishing the afternoon class did he come back in a hurry.

Shen Yan's heart was in a mess.

The family stayed in Songjiang for two years, and the elder of the Shen family who Shen Yan came to the most was the eldest master of the sect. He had seen it clear before that the eldest master of the sect really cared about and accepted their brothers.

For the care of the master of the sect, he also remembered the grace in his heart. It's just that the eldest master of the sect is a son of the sect and a gentleman of the peace, and he can't easily repay it.

Since he entered Beijing, although he is just a small person and has no spare strength, he also thinks that if he has the opportunity to help Shen Jue in the future, he will definitely help him, so as to repay the kindness of the old master of Zongfang.

Seeing that Shen Jue knew that their brother was in the academy and entered the Nancheng Academy to study without any guilt, Shen Yan did not take the initiative to approach Shen Jue, but he was also faintly happy in his heart.

didn't make it to Shen Jue, but he died.

While being sad, Shen Yan couldn't help but be afraid.

He looked at Shen Dao: "You have a longer memory in the future, if you don't care about ruining your body, Brother Jue will be a lesson from the past."

Shen looked stunned, stared at his brother in a daze, and said, "Big brother, what did you just say?" ”

Shen Yan frowned and said, "Let you have a longer memory, don't mess around with your youth"

Shen shook his head vigorously and said, "It's not this sentence, it's the previous sentence."

Shen Yan glanced at him, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Shen asked again, "Big brother, what did you say last sentence?" ”

Shen Yan's heart sank, and he looked at him with frowns and said, "Shen Jue is sick and has been dead for three days."

The blood on Shen's face faded at once, and his body began to shiver involuntarily.

Shen Yan was paying attention to Shen, and seeing that something was really wrong with him, he didn't care about thinking about anything else, so he hurriedly said, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Shen's body trembled more and more, his face was full of horror, his lips trembled, his upper and lower teeth were gritted "gurgling", and his body was shaking.

Shen Yan was frightened and hurriedly helped Shen to the side of the kang.

Shen Yan called twice, but Shen didn't respond. I saw that Shen's eyes were straight, and there was saliva left on the side of his mouth, and he looked stupid.

Shen Yan was shocked and angry, and couldn't help but wave his arm and throw it down.

"Slap" slap loudly.

Shen returned to his body at this time, his face turned to remorse, and big tears rolled down his face.

"Big brother, I killed Brother Jue, I killed him" Shen's face was full of remorse, and his expression became hideous due to pain.

Rao is Shen Yan had already faintly felt that something was wrong before, and he was also shocked by this sentence at this moment.

He immediately stood up, walked to the door, looked around, and then retreated to the room.

"Plop", "plop", Shen Yan could hear his heart beating faster.

Although he remembered the kindness of the eldest lord of the sect in the past, and was willing to do his best for Shen Jue in the future, it did not mean that he was willing to let the two brothers bury Shen Jue together.

He looked at Shen with a dark face.

Shen Yan was not a stupid person, even though Shen hadn't elaborated on the root cause, but thinking that the day of Shen Jue's death was when Shen Jue was sick, he took a long breath and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Shen burst into tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "That day, I had something to look for Tian Shanchang, and when I walked to the door of the study, I happened to hear my eldest brother talking inside...... I retreated, feeling a little depressed, so I left the academy and walked to the woods in the south of the fang...... Brother Jue followed and stayed with me...... I was in a hurry to go out, and I was wearing thin clothes, so Brother Jue took off his vest and gave it to me......"

Speaking of this, Shen was already crying.

Shen Yan sat there dumbfounded, already dumbfounded.

Looking at his younger brother's painful appearance of remorse, Shen Yan smiled bitterly: "I don't kill Beren, but Beren died because of me"

It was just a few days ago, and Shen Yan naturally remembered it clearly.

It was Tian Shanchang who intended to marry and promised his daughter to Shen, but Shen Yan refused. Although his background is really disgraceful, in order to prevent Tian Shanchang from being disliked because of his family affairs, Shen Yan also talked about his relationship with the second room and his own difficulties.

Although Tian Shanchang was a little surprised, Brother Shen Yan was a cousin of Shangshufu, but it was just an accident.

The culprit is Shen Yan's great-grandmother, who has been separated by three generations, and Tian Shanchang did not despise Shen Yan's brother because of the Shaw Family, but felt that he could face this matter without concealing it, and he was quite gentlemanly and frank. As for family affairs, the relationship between Shangshu Mansion and Shangshu is indeed inappropriate.

Shen only thought that he had overheard the words of the eldest brother and the mountain chief, but he didn't know that Shen Yan deliberately arranged for someone to lead him over, so that he could save his thoughts and worry about it again, and he was distracted by his schoolwork.

No one expected that the consequences would be so serious.

Shen Yan's heart was in turmoil, and he was faintly afraid. Although Shen is harmless, Shen Jue did die because of him. If Shangshufu knew about this and became angry, how could their brothers bear it?

The second room and their veins have saved two lives. Generations have passed, and the elders involved have long since died, and the blood feud between them seems to have faded.

Now that there is Shen Jue's death, it has become a dead end.

"Can anyone see Shen Jue with you?" Shen Yan frowned.

Shen shook his head: "I don't know, when I left the academy, I was a little surprised, it was Brother Jue who followed me, I didn't notice it before, or he squeaked ......"

"What about when you go back to the academy?" Shen Yan asked.

Shen hesitated and said, "At that time, the snow was heavy, so no one should have seen it......"

Shen Yan couldn't sit still.

When encountering such an accident, Shen Neng shed tears, but Shen Yan had to think of a way to deal with it.

There are many people in the academy, and when Shen Jue went with Shen Chulu, it was during the class break, and it was difficult to ensure that he would not be seen, which could not withstand investigation.

Now that Shen Jue has died, no one has been able to track down his previous affairs for a while; After these two days, it is impossible to say that Shangshufu will trace the source. If someone sees Shen and Shen Jue walking together, and then contacts Shen to take a few days of sick leave, the truth will be revealed.

Shen Yan paced back and forth, his steps becoming more and more urgent, and his face was uncertain.

Shen looked at his brother like this, why didn't he know his embarrassment?

Remorse, Shen stood up and said abruptly: "Big brother, don't be embarrassed for me, Brother Jue died because of me, I can't pretend not to know." Now I will go to Jue Ge Ling to plead guilty, if Shangshu Mansion wants to investigate this matter, I am willing to pay for my life with my life......"

For the word "death", it is always easy to make people dread. However, thinking that Shen Jue died of illness because he cared about himself, and now that he is no longer in the world, Shen Jue would rather die three days ago than himself.

Shen Yan looked at his younger brother steadily, and said, "Uncover this matter, you are not afraid"

Shen shook his head and said, "What are you afraid of...... But one life. God didn't open his eyes, he should have taken me in
