It was only three days after entering Beijing, but there were too many disappointments in the three days.

When listening to the news from Shen Ying, Shen's first reaction was disbelief: "The eldest lady of the second room really said that she promised to let Brother Jue'er return to the sect?" I'm dreaming...... It's really a day and a night......" As he spoke, he shook his head and looked around: "The dream is real." ”

Seeing this, Shen Ying couldn't cry or laugh: "It's dark this day, what are you dreaming about?" ”

Shen realized it later, only then did he wake up, and suddenly stood up from the chair, and in a hurry, he overturned the chair behind him, and there was a "crackling" sound.

Shen's body was also carried by the chair that fell to the ground, and he tilted to the side.

Shen Ying hurriedly stretched out her hand and grabbed Shen's arm.

Shen's eyes were bright and bright, and he said with an earnest face: "Brother Ying didn't fool me, did you really promise to let Brother Jue return to the sect?" ”

"How can this matter be laughed at, it really can't be true," Shen Ying nodded and said.

From complacent to discouraged and desperate, Shen's heart has been going up and down for the past three days, and listening to Shen Li explain the stakes today is complete despair. I really didn't expect that there was a reversal in despair.

Shen's tears of excitement fell.

Shen Ying looked moved, sighed, and swallowed the words on her lips again.

In Shen Ying's heart, she still disapproves of Shen Jue's "return to the sect". The Xu family is an elder, and it is not easy for Shen Ying to say anything after making a decision, so Shen should have persuaded here.

The return to the sect after the death of the heir will not only affect the second room, but also the impact on the sect. Not to mention anything else, in the eyes of outsiders, it is the gap between the Zongfang and the second room, the second room has been in Beijing for a long time, no one is in Songjiang, and there is no need to use the Zongfang anything; Zongfang needs a second room as a backer.

The Shen family is a family of eunuchs, and they may not be ranked in Beijing, but they are second to none in Songjiang, and many people in the officialdom are watching. If the sect and the second room are suspicious, others will have fewer scruples about the sect, and in the final analysis, it is a "self-cut arm" for the sect.

However, this matter is the master of the sect, Shen is running around Beijing with such intentions, it is a good thing to be able to understand in such a friendly way, Shen Ying is the clan brother in the next room, so he does not want to spoil the fun.

In addition to being excited, Shen did not forget Shen Ying, his face was full of emotion, and he made a long gesture: "This matter is thanks to Brother Ying's great kindness, and in the future, Brother Fan Ying is driven, and the younger brother is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses."

Shen Ying was startled, hurriedly dodged away, waved her hand and said, "Don't dare to take credit, I really didn't do anything, just to pass on a word on behalf of my brother...... Listening to Uncle Cang's intentions, after hearing about this from the mouth of the big housekeeper, he discussed with Uncle Cang, and was willing to fulfill Uncle Hai's beloved son's heart. It's just that Uncle Cang hasn't rested for the past few days, and you haven't passed, so I didn't tell you about it......"

"Is that so?" Shen was surprised, and brought a few questions.

Seeing this, Shen Ying couldn't help frowning secretly, glanced at him and said: "My brother is not in Beijing, I don't know that Uncle Cang and Uncle Cang's behavior is also there, these two elders have always been generous and loving, not to embarrass the juniors." ”

According to the current custom, when the older generation of the family dies, the brothers will be separated. Shangshu Mansion is a three-room brother living together, and this has been the case for decades. The second master is still a Jinshi, even if he has been silent in the Hanlin Academy for 20 years before, he is an official and can stand up by himself; The third master had no intention of career before, but it was well known that he lived a leisurely life

Needless to say, anyone can see that the reason why Shangshu Mansion did not divide the family before was because the third master was sick and weak.

Not everyone can be completely selfless and raise brothers and uncles like sons for decades.

When Wufang mentioned this matter, they were full of admiration for Shen Cang and the Xu family.

Shen had already blushed, shook his head and said, "I'm not saying that Master Cangda and Mrs. Cangda will embarrass me...... It's just that I met Rui Ge'er yesterday and saw that he didn't know about it, thinking that the elders over there didn't mention it to him and wouldn't respond to it, so I was a little surprised......"

"It's all your own nonsense, now that you have a clue, go to the door as soon as possible to ask for peace ...... Aunt Cang, the third uncle and the third aunt," Shen Ying said.

Shen was surprised, but also worried about the change, so he nodded and said, "That's natural, I'll go over tomorrow."

Although he was in the prime of life, he had only just experienced the fatigue of the journey, and he had not eaten or slept well in the past three days.

Shen Ying said with concern: "You can rest for a while, if the cook is not good, go to my place to eat."

Shen Ji dragged his family back to his hometown to guard filial piety, and the subordinates who had to be used naturally followed to serve, leaving behind in addition to the housekeeper who paid attention to the news of the capital, he was the rough subordinate who watched the house in each courtyard.

Shen smiled: "Brother Ying, don't worry, my brother will take care of himself......"

As for going to Shen Ying's house for dinner, Shen didn't mention it.

Although his wish has come true now, his previous disappointment with Wufang is real, how can he be completely careless?

Shen Ying glanced at Shen twice and said, "That's fine, don't let the elders in the family worry about going out, don't worry about ...... elders in the family" After saying that, she was a little excited and got up to say goodbye.

Shen personally sent it out, but neither of the brothers spoke again.

Although Shen Ying did not approve of the "return to the sect" before, she was also sincerely worried about the sect and Shen, so she took the initiative to participate in this matter, and did not expect Shen to understand, but she did not expect him to be resentful.

Shen looked at Shen Ying's back, how could he not complain?

In his heart, because of the relationship between the Zongfang and the Fifth Room, Shen Ying should have been close to the Zongfang, but when he made a request yesterday, Shen Ying took a "rule" and watched without any intention of helping; Today, the elders in the second room nodded and agreed to the matter of "returning to the sect", why didn't Shen Ying mention the "rules" again?

"He looks like a decent gentleman, but he has learned to see people put down dishes" Shen snorted lightly, slandering in his heart.

Originally, he had some envy for his brothers and brothers, but now he is only full of contempt.

The next day, it was not yet the time for Shen Cang to rest, but Shen still cleaned up neatly, and went to Shangshu Mansion to greet the elders.

The Xu family had seen him a long time ago, and there was no need to go into detail, the third master and the third wife had prepared a meeting gift, and Sister Yu and the fourth brother came out, and followed Shen Rui to meet the clan brother.

Then the third wife took Sister Yu and the fourth brother down, Xu left Shen in the upper room to talk, and the third master and Shen Rui stayed in the upper room to accompany them.

"Came to Beijing with Steward Li? Then why didn't you come right here? The third old man had a straightforward personality, and after greeting him, he heard that he was not in Beijing today, so he asked directly.

Shen glanced at his plain clothes and said: "In the first month, my nephew has clothes on him, and he is afraid of colliding with his elders, so he doesn't dare to take the liberty of coming to the door." ”

The third master waved his hand: "What's the outside world?" Your old house has been empty for half a year, where can you live there, move here quickly"

Shen listened, couldn't help but hesitate, and looked at the Xu family who was sitting at the top.

The elders of Shangshufu are so kind, if he doesn't appreciate it, he seems to be ignorant; But if you really want to live here, will there be any other changes? For example, if you promise to be good in front of outsiders, you want to come and dissuade yourself in private?

Xu said: "It's not a hot filial piety, why don't you collide?" Just move over, you are Brother Jue'er's brother, since you have come, you should choose a day to sacrifice Brother Jue'er, it is cheaper to live here. ”

Shen got up and listened, his eyes flashed, and he said with gratitude: "In this way, I will bother my aunt......"

On the one hand, he couldn't help but think crankily, worried that the elders in the second room had other plans; On the one hand, there was also a hope that the elders in the second room would be consistent in their words and deeds, and the old father of the province was disappointed, so he decided to stay. As for the rest, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth

Thinking about this carefully, where can you hide it from the Xu family?

Just mentioning Shen Jue, Xu couldn't help but feel sad, and had no intention of worrying with Shen, so he just said: "The guest room is prepared after getting the news, let Rui Ge'er take you there...... Over there in Songbai Courtyard, I will also take your second brother over to take a look......" The latter sentence was an order to Shen Rui.

Shen bowed and thanked him, and Shen Rui also got up to answer, and then led Shen out of the city.

When the third master heard that the guest house had already been prepared, he was a little strange, and he did not immediately go out with Shen and Shen Rui, but stayed in the upper room.

When the two of them went out, he said, "Sister-in-law, this brother originally came to our house?" ”

Although the third master has seen little in the world, he is also smart, and when he spoke, he also thought of the abnormality of the Shen Ying brothers yesterday, and said: "Is it for Brother Jue's matter to come to the door to ask for the guilt?" ”

"It's not that Xingshi asks for guilt, it's that my father ordered him to go to Beijing and let Jue Ge'er return to the sect." Xu Shi Dao.

The third master's eyes widened, and he was angry: "Returning to the sect? What is that? ”

Although the uncle and nephew got along for less than three years, in the hearts of the third master, he regarded Shen Jue as his own nephew, even if he was no worse than Shen Luo who went, otherwise he would not feel guilty and seriously ill.

Xu sighed and said: "Children are the flesh and blood of their parents, the eldest lord of the sect is bedridden for this matter, and it is not easy to have a heart of love for his son, your eldest brother has discussed with me, and he has followed the will of the eldest lord of the sect......"

When the third master heard this, even though he still felt that this matter was inappropriate, he still shut up.

For Shen Jue's death, the third master felt a lot of guilt, but he was afraid that his wife would be more upset, so he pressed it in his heart.

In the opinion of the third master, if you really want to talk about it, the middle and elders of this family who need to be most responsible for taking care of Shen Jue are not Shen Cang and Xu, who are in charge, but the third wife who took her niece and housekeeper last year. Although no one blamed the third wife for this matter, the third master and the third wife were ashamed. The third wife cried several times, but the third master comforted her again and again, only saying that it was an accident that calmed his wife. However, these guiltes have not disappeared, but they have been transferred to the hearts of the third master.

If Zongfang uses other reasons to mention the matter of "returning to the sect", the three masters will oppose it to the end, but when it comes to the "heart of the beloved son", the three masters empathize with it, and they also have sympathy for the eldest master of the sect......
