Hearing Shen Rui coming, Shen Juren was a little surprised.

For this son, he has a complicated mood, three years is not a long time, but the situation of the fourth room is not as good as before. Without the post of Sun's dowry, the annual income of Sifang Gongzhong has dropped sharply. Compared with the industries under the names of Shen Jin and Shen Rui, the ancestral property of the four houses and the later added industries are a little insufficient.

Shen Juren was in charge of the shopkeeper three years ago, regardless of the economy, and managed the family for three years, but he went to the other side and began to love to calculate money. In the first half of his life, although no one pointed at his face and said that he "ate soft rice", those brothers who were jealous that he had married a rich wife also said sour things. The reason why he entrusted all the housework to his wife was because he had no confidence. After being a family for a few years, he knew that he was obsessed with oil and salt, so he began to be frugal and calculated.

Now that the Sun family property belongs to Shen Jin and Shen Rui, although the two brothers have not separated, they don't need to be attached to him, Shen Juren's heart is a little weird. Don't say it's Shen Rui, even to Shen Jin, he also has some reluctance. Shen Rui is okay, after all, it is Sun's flesh and blood, and Sun is thinking about the past that this son still said; Shen Jin is just a concubine, and she is better than his husband? didn't leave a word to him, but gave half of the dowry to Shen Jin.

Everyone thinks that Shen Jin is the pillar of the future of the fourth house, is it when he is dead? One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, unless there is one male and one female. There can only be one family member in a family, and his teeth are getting older, but his eldest son is gradually growing up, which is not only gratifying, but also a little obscure.

With Shen Jin in front, Shen Juren had a lot less bad feelings towards Shen Rui, a son who had no father-son relationship. It's just that I've been unfamiliar for too long, and I don't know how to get along for a while.

"I also want to send someone to call you, today is the first day after you go to the clan to study, you can keep up with your homework, and you can be in harmony with your clan brothers?" Shen Juren called his son in and asked with great concern.

Shen Rui looked flattered and wondered. What's wrong with this Shen Juren? Isn't there always a strict father's pedigree? I reprimanded him after the ceremony yesterday, why did he change his attitude?

"Back to the old man's words, I can barely keep up with my homework, and most of my classmates are old acquaintances, and they are very harmonious." Shen Rui replied respectfully.

Seeing that he was so respectful, Shen Juren's face became softer and softer, and he stroked his beard and said, "You just arrived at home, if there is anything uncheap, just open your mouth and make the decision for your father." I have laid out all the furnishings of your house, and if there is anything that is not in your way, just tell me. ”

Although Shen Rui knew that Shen Juren had been in charge of the housework in the fourth room in the past few years, he didn't expect that he had changed from a hypocrite full of morality three years ago to a chattering "housekeeper's wife", and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

Shen Juren saw that he was silent, and said with raised eyebrows: "Is there any difficulty?" Or does someone dare to snub and bully you? ”

Shen Rui came to his senses and saw Shen Juren looking at him "earnestly", although he felt weird, he still acted shyly: "No one bullied his son, it's just that his son is in trouble and wants to ask his master for help." ”

Shen Juren listened, his eyes lit up, and he said: "You are young and encounter difficulties, if you don't look for me as a father, which one else will you find?" What the hell? ”

Shen Rui whispered: "Lao An has just rewarded his son with four maids, but there are already two sisters serving his son now. There are only four people in the big brother's yard. I have six here, and it's not in harmony with etiquette. I go to the clan school every day, and there is not much work in the yard, and the maid is afraid of being naughty when she is idle. Thinking that the master's study here is complicated, and it is the place that needs people to call the most, so the master will help his son and let the two maids come here on an errand. ”

Shen Juren listened to Lao Anren's reward for the four maids, and his heart was a little angry. Although it is not a big deal for Lao An to arrange a servant to his grandson, he also learned that he would be Lao Tzu. Crossing him like this, what does Lao An want to do? As for Shen Rui having more servants than Shen Jin, in his opinion, there is nothing. Even if Shen Jin is named, Shen Ruifang is the real son-in-law. If Shen Jin was to worry about his younger brother because of such a trivial matter, he would be too narrow-minded. Thinking of this, Shen Juren wanted to push the boat down the river to promote this matter, and also reminded Shen Jin that he had forgotten his identity.

Shen Rui saw that his expression changed, and he couldn't figure it out in his heart, so he hurriedly said: "These two sisters have been carefully trained by Lao Anren, and they are beautiful and quiet when they look at it, and it is just right to serve the master." Now that they are fortunate to follow their son, no matter whether the master stays or not, they should also come in and kowtow to the master. ”

Hearing Shen Rui say this, Shen Juren was a little curious, he had seen all the maids in Lao Anren's room, which two were they in the front yard? If it was an ordinary little girl, Shen Rui would not praise her like this.

He nodded, and Shen Rui said in a loud voice: "Sister Qiuyue, Sister Dongyue, don't come in to say hello to the master." ”

The two maids listened to the movement in the study, and although they had doubts in their hearts, they still came in honestly and knelt down in front of Shen Juren. Although these two people are born in a family, they have been following Fourth Sister Zhang for the past few years, and Shen Juren is looking at him. I can't help but look twice.

The two maids are carefully dressed up today, with pink jackets, snow-blue skirts, and hairpin rings on their heads, which make people more and more delicate. It is fifteen or sixteen years old, it is the age of flowers, and with a affectionate posture in his eyebrows and eyes, Shen Juren can't take his eyes off it.

The two maids were already crisp and said: "The maid Qiuyue (Winter Moon) has seen the master, please be safe." ”

Shen Juren silently recited the names of the two in his mouth, only to feel that the two maids were slender, but they were as attractive as a crescent moon, and they were a little more dissatisfied with Lao Anren. He knew that his old lady, because she didn't like Sun, and she didn't have a face-saving relationship with Shen Rui from Sun, and this move was definitely not a good idea to give Shen Rui "Four Springs" to Shen Rui. It's just that this old lady is too confused, Shen Rui is a little older, and her hair hasn't grown all, if she is coaxed by these four maids, won't she be ruined. The two girls in autumn and winter are so pretty, and the color of the two maids in spring and summer is not the same.

Thinking of this, Shen Juren felt that he couldn't indulge Lao Anren's confusion, so he had a little more responsibility as a father, straightened his face, and said to Shen Rui: "There are no rules, there is no circle, although Lao Anren loves you, but you are young and orderly, you are not good to cross your eldest brother." That's it, I'll help you with this, let the two of them work in the study, it's not good to make you embarrassed. ”

The two maids knelt on the ground, their faces were panicked, and Dongyue, who looked more timid, even tears came out, their bodies were shaky, and their eyes were full of pleading when they looked at Shen Rui. If it weren't for the majesty of Shen Juren, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, and he was afraid that he would have to pounce on him.

Obviously, as the children of the family, the two of them also know what it means to be on an errand in the study.

In the past three years, there have been four or five maids who have come to the study to be on errands, Yan is thin and fat, or has become the master's roommate, or continues to work as an errand in the study, but they have all been used. Although when they came to Shen Rui's side, the two of them also came to the little master, but Shen Rui was young, if the two of them followed Shen Rui first and had children, it would not be difficult to get an aunt in the future; The old man is a half-grown old man, not to mention, in the past few years, the maids have slept so much, and there is not even a pregnant one. The subordinates have long gossiped that Shen Juren is afraid that there are no seeds, otherwise in these years, the Shen family would not only have two little brothers, and the maids would not even have a body. With such a master, what good end can you have?

Shen Rui was already grateful: "It's still the master who loves me." ”

Shen Juren saw that the two maids had changed their expressions, and looked at Shen Rui with blank eyes, so they suspected that they favored young people and thought they were old, so they were annoyed, and they had no patience with Shen Rui, so they waved their hands: "Don't bother me anymore, go back to study quickly, if your homework falls, be careful of the board!" ”

Shen Rui lowered his hand and listened, and obediently retreated.

When I returned to the small courtyard, I saw Dongxi and Liu Ya waiting with concern on their faces, and when they saw Shen Rui coming back, they looked up and down carefully, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that all the beards and all tails were in unison.

Shen Rui couldn't help laughing and said, "It's just to see the master, and it's not the Longtan Tiger's Den, why is it here?" ”

No matter what the two maids thought in their hearts, they couldn't say that Shen Juren was bad, so they laughed and didn't say anything.

Shen Rui saw that they looked like they were facing a great enemy, and he wanted to persuade them a few words, but thinking about the presence of Zhang Laoan, Shen Juren was not an understanding person, so in order to prevent trouble, there was not much to be wary of. Look at Shen Juren's appearance. Even the gentleman's frame is not decent, and it is difficult to say how he will behave in the future.

Dong Xi smiled: "Finally sent those two out of the city, that Qiu Yue looked at people staring at the jewelry, and there were hands in their eyes, which made people uncomfortable; Dongyue was timid, and when she said loudly, tears were about to fall. If the two of them stay, Liu Ya and I are afraid that we will have to worry for twelve hours, and this house will also start to prevent thieves

Liu Ya followed with a smile: "It's also cheaper for them, although it is second-class to serve in the study, but I heard that the Manchu errand is the most leisurely in the study." ”

She smiled innocently, and Shen Rui and Dong Xi frowned when she saw it. The master and servant glanced at each other, and Dong Xi said, "We've only been here for a day, how can Liu Ya know this?" It was said by someone from Lao An's side. ”

Liu Ya nodded and said, "It was Mother Hao who said it, Mother Hao said that there are many sisters who serve in the master's study, and the work is the most leisurely and decent, even the reward for clothes in the four seasons is more generous than elsewhere." ”

Dong Xi's expression was a little solemn: "Oh? How did Hao's mother talk about this? Is this trying to coax you into getting a 'good job'? ”

You must know that Lu Dao Liu Ya is nominally the maid of Shen Li and his wife, and he was ordered to serve Shen Rui, if he really had a relationship with Shen Juren, it would not only be Shen Rui's face, but also Shen Li and his wife's face would be ugly. What is this Hao's mother going to do when she talks about this?

Liu Ya glanced at Dong Xi in confusion and said, "I am serving the second brother, how can I change errands?" ”

She reacted like this, and Dong Xi was also a little confused: "Then Mother Hao didn't say anything about it?" ”

Liu Ya thought for a while, nodded and said, "There is another sentence, I didn't pay attention to it first." Hao's mother said that there are regulations for employing people in all courtyards of the four rooms, and there is no limit to the number of maids around the master. ”

This time it was Shen Rui's turn to be surprised, he still remembered clearly that he was pinched by a bruised arm three years ago, and Hao's mother was the vicious dog next to Zhang Laoanren, and now she was inexplicably showing favor to him. Talking to Liu Ya about this, obviously pointing him in.

Dong Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Second brother, when the maid served the second brother here three years ago, she dealt with Hao's mother twice, and she was the most snobbish. This time, I can take the initiative to show favor to the second brother, it seems that Lao Anren's life in this mansion is not so beautiful now. It's okay like this, and the second brother can also do his homework with peace of mind. If there is constant disturbance, it is better to think of ways to avoid it, blocking the heart is small, and delaying reading is a big deal. ”

Shen Rui thought about the news he got from Shen Quan, and Shen Juren was asking someone to find a candidate for his stepfamily, so he smiled faintly.

Sun's appearance is such a contribution to the four rooms, Zhang Lao'an can make it seem like an enemy of life and death, in the final analysis, it is just a widow's desire to control her son. When the new daughter-in-law enters the door, what will happen to Zhang Laoan? Even if she wanted to toss her new daughter-in-law again, she didn't have a filial son to support her this time.

At that time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the inner courtyard will not be able to compete with each other, where will there be grandchildren who are idle and calculating in the front yard......
