The ninth room master sighed, went to the inner room on crutches, and after a while, he came out with an old box the size of a palm, and opened it, and Shen Lu immediately straightened his eyes. Inside www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion are about 20 gold ingots the size of thumb belly. It is said that gold is "inch catty", one inch square of gold is one pound and sixteen taels, and the gold ingots in front of him are less than "inch catty", but one should also have five or six taels.

There are a hundred taels of gold in front of me, and when exchanged for silver, it is a thousand taels of silver, but where did this savings come from? A few years ago, because of the low price of the purchase of the four-room Sun family's dowry, each house lost a lot of silver, and the ninth room was also sold a shop, and the master took out the body accumulated over the years to fill the hole. Shen Lu knew his family's background, and he was a little stunned when he looked at the gold: "Master, these gold ......" Speaking of this, he remembered a rumor many years ago: "Could it be that my uncle and grandmother really married the gold at the bottom of the box?" ”

The ninth room master put down the box, looked complicated, and nodded. This is also one of the reasons why he couldn't settle old grudges with Shen Li ruthlessly before, he was afraid that Shen Li would open his mouth to ask for the hundred taels of gold left by his grandmother, and he was worried that he would spit them out instead of staining them.

Shen Lu always boasted that he was a righteous person, and when he remembered the rumors he heard when he was a child, he couldn't help but feel that his grandfather was a little unkind. Originally, as the uncle of the ninth grandfather, when his nephew died early and left only a big-bellied widow, it was nothing to take over the family business of the ninth house, but even the late aunt's dowry gold was a bit too much. But righteousness is righteousness, affordability is affordability, Shen Lu still showed joy on his face, and grabbed two gold ingots and couldn't put them down.

The Jiufang Taiye's back bent even more, and he sighed: "That's all there is to it, I originally planned to keep it until the little big brother has become a parent, you can take it, and make a snack in the foreign minister, don't mess around anymore." ”

Shen Lu was frightened by Shen Li, and he couldn't wait to fly away from Songjiang with long wings immediately, and save the lawsuit from falling on his head. Seeing the old grandfather like this, thinking of his age, he couldn't say that his grandchildren would be separated from life and death, and his eyes were red, and he knelt down and said: "Master, grandchildren can't be filial piety in front of your old man, you should also take care, the family can't leave the grandfather......"

The grandparents and grandchildren hugged their heads and cried, and the maidservants in the frightened courtyard all relaxed their steps. The little brother in the east chamber pushed open the window and looked in the direction of the main room, a little puzzled, so he saw Rouge twisting his waist and walking gracefully, his heart fluttered, he licked his lips, and called "sister" softly. He thought that he would have to beg a few times before he could trick Rouge into the house, but he didn't want Rouge to hesitate, so he looked back at the main room, his face turned red, and he opened the curtain of the east compartment with a small mouth and came in.

Seeing this, the little brother immediately hugged him, pouted and kissed the rouge face. Rouge "giggled" and chuckled, pushed away the little big brother's forehead with his hand and said, "Blue sky and white sun, what is the big brother doing?" ”

The little big brother didn't kiss the red and glamorous lilac mouth in front of him, and took a bite on the rouge's fair-skinned neck: "Isn't this taking advantage of the master's absence, kissing my sister Xiangxiang ......"

Rouge thought about the few words he had overheard in the back window of the main room, and he only felt apprehensive for a while, hot for a while. Although she had only heard a few words, she could also tell that the master had caused some trouble and wanted to go out to avoid it. Mrs. was angry to death a few years ago, the old man has not continued because he is unwilling to be restrained, and there are only a few aunts in the backyard.

Thinking like this, Rouge hid out of the arms of the little brother and said coquettishly: "The master is still in the main room, what is the big brother anxious about?" Wait for the slave maid to bring sweet soup to the eldest brother in the evening......"

The manpower and money of the five rooms to find the person were scattered, but the Jiang family and a pair of children have been missing for many days, and it is not possible to get accurate information in a day or two. Shen Quan thought about Shen Li's previous inference, and couldn't help but go to the prefect's yamen and stand for a long time. If he hadn't known what was at stake, Shen Quan would have been unable to help but storm the yamen. The one who is more auspicious is none other than the brother of his compatriots, is he alive or dead? Shen Quan only felt that the blood in his chest was rolling, and his mouth was salty, and he saw a Confucian student coming out of the back door of the yamen, so he dodged to the side. Looking at the Confucian student's outfit, Shen Quan was stunned, turned around and strode away.

In the guest room of the sect, Shen Hai looked at Shen Li with a worried face: "Liulang, I heard that the prefect's yamen did not reply, what should I do?" ”

Shen Li sorted out his official uniform: "You must not be an uninvited guest!" ”

Even if Zhao Xianzhong is gone, Shen Li has to put on a posture here, so that the other party can't feel at ease. If you can't say that you are in a hurry, you will make a mistake, and if you can find out some news, the Shen family will not be so passive.

Shen Hai looked at Shen Li's supplement, and hesitated: "Then I'll go with Liulang?" ”

Shen Li glanced at Shen Hai and was silent in thought. Even if he encountered such a conspiracy that affected the comfort of the He family, he should have been the first to tell Shen Hai, who was the patriarch, but Shen Hai had a He family around him who believed in the He family. At this time, it is really not appropriate to bet on the kindness of the He family. Besides, no matter who the "inner ghost" is, this "external thief" is still the He family, and the news should be isolated.

Shen Hai was a little unable to get off the stage, frowned and wanted to reprimand, but his mouth reflected that it was not an ordinary nephew in front of him, but the champion prince, the hope of the second son to get rid of the crime, and swallowed the reprimand again. Shen Hai looked at Shen Rui with a complicated expression, thinking of Shen Jue, who died early, and he panicked in his heart.

Shen Rui only did not see it, if he didn't deliberately show it to the prefect's yamen, he would also let the enemies hidden in the shadows know that the Shen family was not a plate of loose sand, and Shen Li would not have taken Shen Rui to live in the sect room. Since he knew that Shen Hai was not a person who understood, there was no need to worry about anything with him at this time.

Thinking that Shen Ling was in prison, the second wife of Yong made a statement to remove the concubine, Shen Ling's wife He and the child are still in the inn, and Shen Rui has no respect for Shen Hai, the confused patriarch. should have gotten the news, so he sent someone to pick up He's mother and son to come back to settle down, but Shen Rui and Shen Li are both men, and there are no female dependents by their side, so they can only be entrusted to He's family, and he has already mentioned this matter to Shen Hai yesterday, so he said: "Uncle, can the aunt go to the inn?" ”

Shen Hai waved his hand casually and said, "Send Cai Pozi to pick up the car, Rui Ge'er rest assured." ”

Shen Rui choked, even if the sect is now in a big stall and his children and grandchildren are killed, it is understandable that the He family is not in the mood to condescend to pick up a junior daughter-in-law in person, but in the end, it is a relative, and it should be sent to a similar side daughter-in-law to come forward, which is appropriate. What's the point of sending a servant woman like this?

Shen Hai was in no mood to pay attention to He's mother and son, he just thought about urging Shen Li to fish out his son as soon as possible, even if he couldn't get it out for the time being, he could ask for favors in front of Zhao Xianzhong and bless Shen Jun with peace and security.

With a fatherly heart, Shen Hai looked at Shen Li with blank eyes.

Shen Li flicked down his sleeves and said, "Next time, this time I will come to the door and discuss with Zhao Futai." ”

Shen Hai sneered, glanced at Shen Rui who was standing next to him, thinking that Shen Li would take Shen Rui in and out as if he was yesterday, but he didn't expect that this time it was Shen Li who went to the mansion by himself, and Shen Rui went to the fifth room to find Shen Quan.

As soon as he got out of the alley, Shen Rui bumped into Shen Quan, who hurried back.

"Brother Rui, where is the brother of the six clans?" Shen Quan looked around, but he didn't see Shen Li, and asked hurriedly.

"The sixth brother has gone to the prefect's yamen!" Shen Rui replied: "Is there something wrong with the third brother? ”

Shen Quan saw that there was no one else, gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Rui, I know that it is important to find the second sister-in-law and nephews, but I don't want to wait like this, I want to ask the six clan brothers for a handwritten letter to go to Nanjing to find the political yamen!" ”

Shen Qi has a reputation for raising people, and the official is not expensive, and the local yamen has no right to torture him before he strips off his fame. I was concerned about it before, but I didn't think of this, just now I saw the Confucian students in green shirts in the prefect's yamen, and Shen Quancai remembered that he could also pass by the Xuezheng yamen.

Shen Rui did not answer, but escaped from his arms and handed a letter to Shen Quan.

There is the name of the current Suzhou school and politics on it, and Shen Quan took it with red eyes. Even if Shen Qi really had an accident, Shen Quan wanted his brother to come out of the yamen as an innocent person, instead of appearing directly in the court as a sinner who "committed suicide in fear of crime".

"Qin sent down, using the official ship of the Ministry of Rites, and it takes about 40 days to travel from the capital to Songjiang." Shen Ruidao.

Shen Quan nodded and said, "I'm awake, six hundred and forty miles from Songjiang to Nanjing waterway, I will set off by fast boat today and invite Xuezheng over before the Qin mission comes down." ”

"No matter what, the third brother should remember to take care of himself. When the Chin mission comes down, it will be really difficult. Shen Rui said.

Shen Quan nodded, untied a purse hanging from his waist, and handed it to Shen Rui.

Shen Rui took it in his hand, only to feel heavy, and when he opened it, there was a pair of cards inside, as well as a white jade seal.

"Inquired about the second sister-in-law, I have already instructed the housekeeper to go down, I will explain something in a while, so that they can report to Rui Ge'er if they have news. This seal is a deposit of money from my Zhouji Money Village at home, if there is anything to spend in a hurry, or the six clan brothers want to take care of it, you can take it, so as not to have to fight with Uncle Hai. Shen Quan explained.

Shen Rui was duty-bound, so he didn't shirk it and put it away carefully.

Shen Quan hurriedly went back to pack his bags, Shen Rui did not go back to the sect room, but turned around and went to the third room.

At the intersection outside the third room, two young men dressed as idlers were chatting under the tree, and when they saw Shen Rui coming, the two stopped talking.

Shen Rui nodded slightly and looked at the door of the third room.

After a while, the door of the third room "creaked" and pushed open a crack. Seeing this, Shen Rui avoided in the dark.

I saw that someone at the door came out, looked around, and there was nothing abnormal, so I pushed the door open.

The ninth room master personally sent Shen Lu out, followed by a man in his forties, who was Shen Lu's brother and the housekeeper of the eighth room, carrying luggage.

Rao is a bastard and has no virtue, but in the end, he was raised by his grandfather himself, and now that his flesh and blood are separated, and his grandfather is this age, Shen Lu knelt down with a "poof" and kowtowed three times with a "knock knock".

The ninth master was about to help his grandson up, but his arm fell on Shen Lu, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak, and he suffered these three rings......
