Dong Qihe really accepted Shen Li's invitation happily, and instead of being a little impatient, he was secretly happy.

Dong Qi Heyuan had a lot of good friends with the Shen family, the head of the local gentry, in the same position, and now that he has been promoted, he wants to be close to the Shen family.

Regardless of the promising future of the children of the Shen family who are officials in the court, and there are many high-ranking officials in the in-law relationship, if he wants to shepherd Songjiang in the future, he can't help but befriend the Shen family.

Even if the Shen family wants to divide the clan, it is also a behemoth with many clansmen in the local area.

Now seeing that the He family is about to fall, and the Zhang family is not good, the Lu family has stood with the Shen family in the Japanese case, and the Shen family, a first-class family in Songjiang, has a stable status.

Dong Qihe didn't regard the Shen family as his lucky star in his heart, if it weren't for this Japanese case, if there was no Shen family to turn over the case, Zhao Xianzhong was restrained, with his qualifications, there is no backer in the court, I don't know how many years it will take to survive the fourth grade, let alone a rich city like Songjiang Mansion.

Every time he thought of this, Dong Qihe couldn't help but feel excited. He had already made up his mind to appease the Shen family and get closer to him by using the unjust case. Now without waiting for him to use his brains, the Shen family handed over the kindness first, how could he not catch it?

What's more, it was Shen Li who came, and it was not enough for the champion to be the prince, but the identity of the old son-in-law of this pavilion was shining in Dong Qihe's eyes.

Although Dong Qihe was born as a Jinshi, his family background was ordinary when he was young, and he was not very smart, and he didn't know how to give gifts or shoot horses, so he couldn't worship under the big guy in Beijing.

Jiangnan is rich, who doesn't want to take a bite?

If you can use Shen Li to catch up with Xie Ge Lao......

"Master Shen is polite! This is also a matter of the official's duty. Dong Qihe smiled so hard that his lips were short and his beard was straight.

He can bend and stretch, put aside the official prestige of his parents, and promised that he will go to the scene of the division to testify, and between the words, he was polite to Shen Li and even the teenage talent Shen Rui, and praised the Shen family: "The Shen family is a scholarly family, the family of the eunuchs, and the children are full of talents. ”

The county order of the broken family, the mansion Yin who destroyed the door, with the experience of Zhao Xianzhong framing the Shen family, the Shen family will be more attentive to making good places in the future, and Shen Li will not be lazy.

Dong Qihe's reaction was better than Shen Li expected, Shen Li also smiled with a smile on his face, and said humbly: "Lord Dong has a good reputation, although the Shen family is divided, it will also restrain the clansmen and benefit Sangzi. ”

Both sides had the intention of making friends, and they had a good conversation for a while.

After talking about Songjiang trivial matters, and talking about the same year, Dong Qihe regretted that he couldn't have a relationship with Shen Li, but because of the speculation, he still felt a lot closer.

When Shen Li got up to say goodbye, Dong Qihe personally sent him off, with a courteous face.

The division of the Shen family has now become a hot topic in Songjiang, and all families in Songjiang are staring at the movements of the Shen family, especially Shen Li, the "leader" of the Shen clan.

As soon as Shen Li entered the prefect's yamen, all the ears reported to the gods one after another to pass the message, and when they saw the prefect sent it out in person, the ears reported to the gods in an uproar.

Although the Shen family is rumored to be divided, it is no longer a first-class clan in the past, but with two champions and many children, the strength is still not to be underestimated. No, it seems that I have a good relationship with the new prefect.

When the news came back to the ears of the heads of the families, it was another speculation, and many people were still secretly happy in their hearts, the Shen family made a high-profile friendship with the new prefect, and the next step was to clean up the He family.

Under the painstaking management of Second Master He over the years, the He family's industry has doubled, and the Shen family has opened a gap, so they can also get a piece of the pie. Just as the He family will be red at the Shen family, and the He family will be red with the He family, and it is not one or two from the He family.

Lu family, study.

When Master Lu heard the news, he sighed, and finally he didn't make a wrong move. He casually instructed his henchman butler: "Go to the mansion to find the third child, ask him to take leave tomorrow, and go to the Shen family with me." ”

The housekeeper was not surprised, Lu Sanlang was originally the household secretary, since the prefect will also go to the Shen family tomorrow, he just asked San Lang to show up in the past, showing that he has a great relationship with the Shen family, and it will also be beneficial to the future.

Master Lu turned the multi-treasure sandalwood eighteen bracelet on his wrist, and when he saw that the housekeeper wanted to speak again, he said, "The He family is looking for you again?" I said, no! ”

The housekeeper was a little embarrassed, and said stubbornly: "No, it's not Second Mrs. He, this time it's the old aunt and Mrs. He who make people ......."

This old aunt and wife of the He family are not talking about others, it is Mrs. He, she is the daughter of the Lu family, but she is not a concubine, and she is still the elder of Master Lu.

Master Lu sneered, "Mrs. Moti, who is about to come out of the five suits, is not a relative." And He Er is a rich wolf who doesn't recognize relatives and only recognizes money, so his relatives still don't want to do it. ”

The housekeeper became more and more embarrassed, but still said: "The old lady sent a message to see Xiao Shen Zhuangyuan and Shen Rui, and planned to ask the old man to accompany him and be a witness." ”

Master Lu's face was full of sarcasm: "She wants to make peace and ask me to be a middleman?" A fool only wades into this muddy water......" suddenly paused as he spoke, pinched his bracelet and twisted his eyebrows in contemplation, and suddenly sighed for a while: "What an old lady, where is it for me to witness, this is just a word to let me know, she is about to calculate that since I know, I will be dragged into the water and mixed into the dispute between the two families." ”

"I look like a fool?" Master Lu threw the bracelet on the table and said coldly: "I really don't know what else she has to do!" Although He Er is locked up in prison, he can be sent to Beijing and naturally have the protection of Boss He, what kind of fun is she an old lady following? It's wrong to do anything, but it's a toss-up. Besides, Xiao Shen Zhuangyuan is just fine, she really thinks that Xiao Rui is so foolish? Or do they think that the fourth room of the Shen family married the daughter of the He family to fill the house, and they could climb again? ”

Speaking of this, Master Lu glanced at the housekeeper with a surprised face, waved his hand weakly, and said, "Don't see anyone from the He family in the future." This He family is really not a kind person, and he calculates his relatives, so he can't be ...... close."

*

The He family didn't feel that they had calculated their relatives at all, but felt that the world was hot and cold, and their relatives were unreliable at this time, and everyone avoided them.

Dong Qihe personally sent Shen Li The news came to the He family, He Beisheng couldn't help but become more and more upset and irritable, on the one hand, he was worried that the Shen family would fall into the hole if he climbed to the new prefect, and on the other hand, he felt that the second brother had done too much this time, there was a life in it, and no matter how much revenge he received, it would be his own sin. It's just that it's someone else, after all, it's his own compatriots and siblings, and even if he knows that he is wrong, he can't give up the people.

He Beisheng walked around the hall, full of contradictions, and kicked the table and chair for a while, attracting Mrs. He's sideways.

Mrs. He also counted the Buddha beads and sighed lightly: "Old Five, go and sort out the accounts of the two weaving factories and return them to the Shen family another day." ”

He Beisheng was taken aback and blurted out: "Why is this so?!" ”

Thinking of the second brother in prison, He Beisheng sighed heavily, he naturally knew the source of the two weaving factories, which was the root of the rift between the two Shen He families, and the dowry of the Sun family calculated by the second brother.

Back then, in order to ease the relationship with the Shen family, the second brother would rather have another idea of marriage than spit out the weaving factory. Over the years, the two factories have been really well managed, and they have successively expanded hundreds of looms, with an annual output of nearly 10,000 taels, becoming one of the most profitable industries of the He family, which is no longer comparable to the weaving mills of the year.

Before, the eldest brother wanted to transfer 50,000 silver into Beijing, and asked the second brother to sell the weaving factory, but the second brother was not willing to sell, and now he wants to "pay it back"? Not to mention the second master He who has been operating with his heart for many years, even people like He Beisheng who are onlookers are reluctant.

"Mother, it's the second brother's hard work in it." He Beisheng prayed a little: "Even if you send it back, the Shen family may not want it." ”

Mrs. He shook her head and said, "One wrong step, one wrong step, that's the bane!" Although the Sun family was born in a businessman, he has always done good deeds, and he is the kindness of Shen Li and the Shen family's five rooms, and this is still in the Shen family, and there are not one or two people outside the clan who have received the favor of the Sun family. Keeping those weaving factories in their hands will only remind the world of the He family's unkindness to the Sun family at that time, what good can it be? If you are told to go, you will go, and you will not be verbose! She looked down at the big and round sandalwood Buddha beads in her hand, and lowered her voice: "They can ...... if they want it or not."

Shen family, five rooms

Shen Li and Shen Rui brothers didn't say anything all the way, and went directly to the fifth room, and Shen Rui conveyed the attitude of Wang Shouren and Dong Qihe to the three Shen Ying brothers.

Shen Quan nodded again and again, and said, "With a few adults witnessing, the third and ninth rooms will not be too noisy, and the division of the sect will be smoother." ”

Shen Qi shook his head and said: "I don't know, according to the previous statement, the division of the clan is to divide half of the clan property to each house, they are a little afraid of the official, and they are red-eyed when they see the silver, and they can't take care of it." ”

Shen Quan laughed dryly, "The family property is all given to them, and they are too little......" mentioned Sanfang's greed for money, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to Shen Rui: "Today, my mother went to see Ling's second sister-in-law, and she ran into Uncle Yong's second uncle coming over angrily, and he was scolding and scolding. Ling's second sister-in-law didn't talk to my mother in detail, but I guessed that Second Uncle Yong was still staring at Ling's second brother's pension money, and wanted to recognize Ling's second brother. Now that the clan has been divided, the clan can't control the affairs of the three rooms, if the second uncle Yong insists on putting the second brother Ling on the family tree, Brother Xiao Nan will ...... in the future."

The room was quiet for a while, and Shen Li shook his head and said, "Although the clan is divided, the genealogy is not what he said alone. "That being said, it is true that after the division of the sect, the authority of the patriarch is not as good as before, that is, Shen Qi is publicly recommended to become the patriarch, and the clansmen are convinced, and the three rooms may not be willing to share the money for the sake of money.

Shen Rui thought about the little Brother Nan and sighed.

Shen Zhou obviously had the intention of step-heir before, but for some reason, he didn't make it clear now, and it was impossible for Shen Rui to open his mouth to ask Shen Zhou. After all, the two families are still one place to the outside world, and they have actually separated from each other, and there is no reason for a nephew to ask about his uncle.

Shen Rui didn't know what Shen Zhou was thinking, he valued Shen Ling but didn't think about succession, because he hated the third room at that time, he was afraid that the third room would entangle Shen Ling and cause trouble to the second room. Just like before, when the second master He calculated the property of the Shen family's third room, the third room asked Shen Ling to accompany Shen Zhu to Beijing for help, and Shen Ling was a junior, and he had no right to refuse at all.

Now the situation is different, before and after the "Shen Family's Three Sons Tong Wa Case", Sanfang's shameless and ruthless actions have already made the He family hate it to the bone, and the young Xiao Nan brother was raised by the He family who hated the third room, and even if he didn't retaliate against the third room in the future, it would be good, no matter how impossible it was to take care of the three rooms. This emotionally cut off the entanglement between Xiao Nange and Sanfang.

Shen Ling is now a "single family" who has been expelled from the clan, and she doesn't need to take care of the Bunsen family when she goes out, and she doesn't worry about ignoring the Bunsen family's requests and being talked about, which is to cut off the entanglement of the three rooms from the etiquette. In this way, it can be regarded as a complete removal of the hidden danger of three-room entanglement.

If the second room is not followed, it will be impossible to mention it in the future.

Shen Rui is not very interested in the second room, and even feels that whether he has an heir or not has nothing to do with him, but he very much hopes that He can become Shen Zhou's daughter-in-law, without it, just because He is a good hand at housekeeping, and when he was in Nanjing, he and his husband took care of housework one mile and one away.

Xu's age is over the sixtieth year, and his energy is not as good as before since Shen Cang's death, Mrs. Runsan is a soft character, and the housekeeper is not very shrewd, but fortunately, there is no big mistake with Xu's in charge.

Before Shen Rui married his wife, there was a lack of a hostess who could manage the house. Regardless of whether Shen Ling really succeeded to Shen Zhou's name, as a young widow, the He family should no longer take care of the housekeeping for Shen Zhou, who is single in Nanjing, and must take Xiao Nan back to Beijing to guard filial piety, which is just right to help the Xu family.

Not only did Shen Rui think about the succession, but Shen Li and Shen Ying also thought about this, but as "outsiders", they couldn't say anything about the heirs of the second house.

Shen Ying only said: "Although the sect is divided, the genealogy is not a big deal. And in addition to the clan, he went to the government for the record, and he had to go to the yamen to file again in the family tree, but the He family refused, just don't go, and the third room was helpless. ”

Shen Li nodded and said, "The yamen said hello, and they made ghosts in the province." He has a big age difference with Shen Ling's brothers, and he has no contact, but he is also embarrassed about Shen Ling's situation, sympathetic and regretful, but he is willing to help Shen Ling's wife and children.

Thinking of this, Shen Li paused, and said, "Tomorrow, I'm afraid there is one more thing." If the Shen family is investigated for this man-made disaster, I am afraid that the three rooms and nine rooms and even the sect will investigate the fault of Master Yuan, if he does not break the contract for no reason, he will not be able to attract the Yan family's revenge, so that the Shen family will be frightened......"
