In Shen Li's mansion.

Xie sent the mother-in-law who came to greet the Xie family, and instructed the housekeeper to bring back the things she had prepared to honor her parents, and then leaned on the couch with a long sigh of relief, and the maid beat her legs with a beauty hammer, secretly thinking about the news brought by the mother-in-law.

Since Shen Cang's death, the second room of the Shen family has shown a decline, and now that Shen Zhou has left his job, there is a sesame mung bean big middle scholar left, a young showman, which can be regarded as completely out of the upper circle.

Xie Shi gently closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows.

She was quite disliked by the second room in her heart, and now if the second room could not appear in her circle, she would be more comfortable.

It's just that Shen Rui got married, and his father should value Yang Tinghe, so he asked his mother to pass on a message to her, so that she wouldn't snub Shen Rui because of the temporary frustration of the second room. At this time, it is indispensable to communicate with the second room.

What about the little Xiucai, even Yang Tinghe's son-in-law, I don't know how many years it will take to get ahead.

Anyway, now that the younger brother Tanhualang has also entered the Hanlin Academy, he will follow his father's old path to the cabinet, and he will always be driven by one or two young people, this Shen Rui looks at him as a clever man, and he is Yang Tinghe's son-in-law, but it can also be used.

Xie was thinking about marriage in his mind, and he couldn't help but think of his eldest son Shen Lin again.

The children are all older, and there are many matchmakers in front of Xie's family, but mothers all over the world have the same heart, and they always feel that their children are the best, and the matchmakers always have such and such shortcomings, which makes people not so satisfied.

The eldest son, Shen Lin, is only fifteen now, and looking at each other, he is not in a hurry, and it is not too late for a man to succeed in his career and start a family in his twenties.

The daughter is more important, and at the age of thirteen, she should also be optimistic about her relatives, and she will be married after the marriage, and she will be ready to marry in one or two years, sixteen or seventeen.

She actually has the intention to marry her daughter back to the Xie family, but she is the youngest daughter in the family, and her brother's children are not very suitable in age, and she also wants to see the talents of her nephews.

Just thinking about it, the knock on his leg suddenly stopped, Xie raised his eyes to look, and saw that her dowry Dong's mother took the beauty hammer in the maid's hand and sent the maid and servant women out.

Xie waved his hand to let Dong's mother sit on the small pestle, and did not need her to beat her legs, because he asked her: "Send Zhao's sister-in-law away?" ”

Mother Dong didn't dare to hold it up, and after sitting down, she still gently beat her legs for Xie Shi, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mrs., the old slaves who are sent out of the gate will pack things properly according to Mrs.'s instructions." ”

Xie sighed and closed his eyes again.

Mother Dong hurriedly got up and took a thin quilt and put it on Xie's body, sat down and looked at Xie's face while beating her legs, as if she sighed: "I can't imagine that the master's aunt is so miserable." ”

Xie Shi's eyes did not open, and he also sighed, his fingers stroked the sinuous embroidery on the cuffs, and said, "It's not unladylike to meet people." Everything is up to fate, not at all. ”

In fact, she has never liked to listen to the word Aunt En, she recognizes that the Sun family has the grace to provide for Shen Li, and they should treat Shen Rui better, she is not the person who does not know how to repay her, but Shen Li is better to Shen Rui than to her own children, and Xie Shi can't help but be a little surprised.

Treat Shen Rui like this, this kindness can be repaid.

Shen Rui is now the heir of the second room, but the second room presses Shen Li with the old kindness of the Sun family, which is too uninteresting!

Xie's dislike for the second room also comes from this, and he always feels that the second room always treats her and his wife with the attitude of a benefactor, and always loves to send Shen Li when there is something.

Of course, she is the daughter of the old man, the wife of the champion, respected by outsiders, and she can't bear the slightest grievance. But I don't want to think that the second room is the elder, and it is the Jiuqing family, and I still have to be respectful to a four-grade Hanlin junior? !

I just heard Dong's mother whisper: "The one who lost his aunt is also the end of good and evil." ”

Xie pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a sarcastic smile, yes, it turned out that the second room was actually responsible for Aunt Sun, how could he still have the face to rely on Aunt Sun's son as the heir to repay him.

But I heard Dong's mother sigh: "It's just that now that the Shen family is in Beijing, only our lord has the highest official position, and the clan will have something to do in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to find us?" ”

Xie Shi suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Dong's mother fiercely.

Mother Dong seemed to be startled, and then her face showed a look of grievance and sadness, "The old slave only feels sorry for his wife, and he works for some people who fight the autumn wind." ”

Xie Shi's face gradually softened, and he said quietly: "Master is good, what can I do." Actually, things are just fine, silver is also a trivial matter, I don't want the master to beg people everywhere. ”

Saying that, she was also a little annoyed, and couldn't help but spit out a few words of bitterness to her mother: "How can that favor be owed?" For myself, for Brother Lin's studies, I have never asked for help, but I have spent money for outsiders to save face and ask for favors, how can I not be annoyed? For the sake of irrelevant people in the clan, I ran east and west, I was so sick, and he didn't say to stay and take care of me, which one is more important?! ”

Dong's mother hurriedly comforted her and said, "Mrs. is not too careful!" How often has the old man despised his wife over the years! I always put my wife in my head! ”

And he said, "Didn't that thing come about before? I heard that the nine clans were implicated, how could the master not go? It's also a shame that our master went, and he also took the face of the elder pavilion, this is not a beautiful case. No one else can do it anymore. ”

Xie Shi listened to it a little, moved his body, but only snorted.

Dong's mother smiled: "Then look at this time, which one is an aunt, will the master still care?" According to the old slave, I am afraid that the winter solstice festival does not need to be given as usual. ”

Xie Shi seemed to suddenly think of something, sat up suddenly, and asked: "Go and call Changsheng over, I want to ask, yesterday Zhang Man's family came to hand in the right cards, saying that the master took three hundred taels of silver in the outer account room, what is this for!" ”

Dong's mother couldn't help but be embarrassed and persuaded: "Madam, if you ask Changsheng for questioning, he must tell the master, if you make the master unhappy, how can you have to pay for the loss?" ”

Xie Shi felt that a liver fire rushed straight to his head, and he couldn't suppress it, probably because he deliberately contracted the wind and cold and fell into the root of the disease in order to keep his son in ambush, this time it was always like this, the scalp often jumped and hurt, and his heart was also irritable, once he was angry, if he didn't vent it, it was like he was going to explode, not at all like the calm and relaxed her before.

On the one hand, she was annoyed by her weak body, and on the other hand, she also hated Shen Li for not being considerate of her.

Before Shen Li returned to Songjiang, the two had already fallen out, and Shen Li was placed in the study for most of the month. And when Songjiang came back, Shen Li simply didn't spend the night with her, but entered the door, and only explained two things, and left.

She didn't know how much tonic soup she had sent to the study, but she couldn't get him back.

Thinking of this, Xie Shi felt more and more angry, and heard what Dong's mother said, "What does the master have, Mrs. slowly persuades it," Xie suddenly burst into a loud voice, "What's the use?!" When did he listen to me? ”

This time, Dong's mother was really frightened, and she also felt that the Xie family had been a little uncertain recently.

Mother Dong, who didn't want to get burned, hurriedly got up to appease Xie Shi, and slapped herself in the mouth and said, "Mrs. is angry, it's the old slave's stinky mouth......"

Xie Shi really didn't vomit or be unhappy when he came up, grabbed Dong's mother's hand, and said in a sharp and high-pitched voice: "You don't say those false things, you say, what did he do with the silver?" But running for the second room? What is he drawing, ah, what is he drawing! ”

Dong's mother secretly regretted it, but she squeezed out a smile and persuaded: "It may not be what my wife thinks......"

Xie Shi didn't listen to her at all, and chattered to himself: "Is this to repay the favor or repay the debt?" Even if you are like this, it will be endless! It's like a creditor! And my Xie family didn't have a favor with him? Why won't he pay it back! How did you do this to me! ”

Suddenly there was a cough outside, and both people in the room froze at the same time.

The little girl trembled and opened the cotton curtain, and she didn't dare to raise her head down, letting Shen Li outside the house enter the door, and at the same time whispered: "The master is back." ”

When Dong's mother jumped up, she brought the little pestle down, her face showed genuine trepidation, and she couldn't squeeze out half a smile, she wanted to speak but didn't know what to say, so she finally said: "The master is back." ”

Her feet had already moved towards the door, and seeing that Shen Li didn't pay attention to her, she quickly retreated from the door.

When she got to the yard, Mother Dong glared at the few silent maids in the yard viciously, and remembered a note of hatred in her heart, leaving only one of Xie's henchmen and big maids down, waving her hand to tell everyone to withdraw from the yard and get away, so as not to quarrel in the house later, so that these stupid people listened, and Xie's face was not good-looking.

In the house, the couple looked at each other silently, and did not quarrel as Dong's mother expected.

Shen Li looked at his wife silently, he didn't mean to listen to the root of the wall, but Xie Shi only said a few words that were honest and high-pitched, and he listened to it as soon as he walked into the courtyard.

Back then, all kinds of things came to my heart, won the champion, and married everyone's beautiful wife, which was really the most beautiful moment in my life.

What was the wife like at that time?

Gentle and virtuous, good at poetry and music, and his red sleeves add fragrance, and shrewd and capable of managing the family business. Soon they were both children and daughters, happy and happy, and admired others.

And when did the wife become like this?

The aunt and him are recreated. He also relied on the guidance and help of his father-in-law on his career. He remembered these kindnesses firmly and did not dare to forget them for a while. And the wife ......

Without an aunt, there would be no later champion Shen Li. But without the champion Shen Li, the Xie family will have the champion Zhang San and Jinshi Li Si as sons-in-law, and the Xie family will do the same as the imperial court.

He had always felt that husband and wife were one, probably, wrong.

Thinking about it again, when he came out of his father-in-law's study, he listened to the half-claws that the staff inadvertently revealed, and the old man Xie Ge was already fighting for the layout of the vacant Nanjing Guozi Priest Wine.

Shen Li took a deep breath and suddenly lost interest in speaking, he was going to tell his wife that they would go to the second room together tomorrow, but looking at his wife, he didn't say anything in the end, turned around and left.

Xie Shi was flustered at first, but the long silence calmed her down again, and a strange thought arose in her heart, she wanted Shen Li to accuse her, she could argue, she could interrogate instead. However, Shen Li didn't say anything, and he wanted to leave in silence.

The evil fire of the Xie clan jumped up again, and he couldn't help but shout: "What is this doing, master?" ”

Shen Li turned his head and glanced at her indifferently, and all her words and anger were frozen in his throat.

Shen Li said lightly: "I'll go to Renshoufang." And he brushed his sleeves away.

After he turned his back, he didn't hear a word from Xie Shi, and it wasn't until he walked out of the courtyard gate that he heard a series of sounds of wood touching the ground and tea cups breaking in the house.

Out of the courtyard, he no longer had trivial matters at home in his mind, but after Shen Zhou left his post, the Shen family's various layouts were dealt with, and he casually instructed the housekeeper to move all his clothes and luggage to the study, and then hurriedly went out with the chief and went to the Shen Mansion in Renshoufang.

Qiao's old house

Master Qiao didn't have the joy he should have when he got eighteen thousand taels of silver, but shrank in his chair dejectedly, letting the third brother jump like thunder and scold.

Second Master Qiao got up several times to try to persuade him, but he was pushed away by Third Master Qiao, until Third Master Qiao scolded dryly, sat down in the chair with hatred, put aside the elegance of the scholar, and poured tea in a big gulp.

Master Qiao said, "I really didn't expect the He family to make a testimony in court......

Master Qiao San couldn't wait to smash the tea cup in his face, and scolded the idiot a hundred and eighty times in his heart, but he really didn't have the strength to scold it again.

The He family inquired carefully about the Sun family's affairs, and Master Qiao San was not a moral gentleman, so he naturally sold it clean for the He family to help him recover.

But he still has brains, unlike Master Qiao, who has to sign and draw in black and white after finishing speaking.

The in-laws are written by themselves, which is ironclad evidence.

The repentance of marriage back then was not the key to Shen Zhou's conviction, but it was just another proof that he had always had a bad character. But the Qiao family was able to produce this handwriting, which was to put themselves on the opposite side of the Shen family.

In particular, Shen Zhou was kicked out of Nashi's niece and Jinshi's daughter as a concubine, and others were morally condemned, and the Qiao family, a genuine in-law, must show an attitude, and that piece of testimony forced the Qiao family not to be sloppy, not to be with the mud, and could only hold up the style of the in-laws to denounce Shen Zhou.

In this way, Shen Qiao's two families completely tore their faces.

But does the Qiao family dare? It's not that the three masters of the Qiao family have no official positions, but they can't fight the Shen family.

Instead, the aunt of the Qiao family made a big mistake and was seriously ill, and it was the Shen family's benevolence and righteousness that she was not taken back, where did the Qiao family have a position to denounce the Shen family!

Master Qiao San slapped the table and shouted: "So far, you didn't expect to shirk it with a sentence?" ”

Master Qiao said in his heart, if I don't sign someone and don't give more money, of course the same secret will be more cost-effective if it is sold more.

He has also rolled in the officialdom, and he is not really stupid, where would he not know the intentions of the He family, but he really didn't expect the He family to use this play.

Thinking of the Liang family, he had the courage to be bold for a while, and suddenly said: "At the beginning, I said that I would let my sister return, but you refused to stop you!" It's good now, what is Shen Lao Er doing! Where to put the big sister? Where do you put the Qiao family?! ”

Master Qiao San really wanted to slap the teacup on his head and open the scoop for him now, so he only smashed the teacup on the ground after forbearance, "You still dare to say this!" You don't know what the eldest sister looks like?! You don't know?! ”

Master Qiao San was really mad, although he curried favor with the He family and wanted to seek a way to recover, he never thought of giving up the Shen family. Especially his brother-in-law Shen Zhou, he is confident that Shen Zhou will still help him.

But now, his brother-in-law has been swept to the end and has lost his official position! Worse than him!

The Qiao family has done their part to overthrow the Shen family, and it is clear that they want to be enemies!

Where can he still rely on the Shen family?

And the He family ...... The He family has Master Qiao, which makes a fool who says what he says and lets him write what he writes, where do you still use him? gave Qiao a lot of silver, where would he care about Qiao San's recovery?

The green tendons on the forehead of the third master Qiao burst out, where is this still a brother! He suddenly overturned the case, and kicked down the chair, if he didn't have to get back, he couldn't leave a moral stain, he really wanted to break off with this big brother!

"If you still have brains," Master Qiao San pointed at Master Qiao and said viciously, "You have eaten enough of the He family, and you are not allowed to collude with the He family again in the future, and don't leave any more ink!" Whoever asks, don't say that the Shen family is not! ”

Master Qiao snorted in his nose, drooped his eyes, and did not respond.

has come to this point, the left and right Shen families have also been offended, and the left and right Shen families have no officials, if there is still silver to take, why doesn't he take it? He didn't need to get up.

Master Qiao San saw through Master Qiao's thoughts almost instantly, and hated to kill him, so he endured it again and again, and said: "It's stupid, you are the only in-law of the Shen family and the Qiao family?!" ”

Only then did Master Qiao raise his eyelids and look at Third Master Qiao.

The chill in Master Qiao San's words could almost condense into ice ballast, "If you don't want to lose all your family property and be kicked out of the capital, you don't do anything." ”

His eyes were also shining, "I'll talk about it when I recover." Of course, my sister's grievances can't just be counted. Wait for me, after I recover, and then I will talk about it. ”

Renshoufang, Shen Mansion

Just when outsiders were speculating about the Shen family in every possible way, the Shen Mansion with the Xu family in charge was not panicked at all.

After the death of Shen Bang and Shen Cang's father and son, the status of the Shen family plummeted, and the Xu family was extremely calm about the second master's resignation.

Originally, she was mentally prepared for Liang's matter, which would be turned out sooner or later. Even if Qiao's is not early, and the Liang family is quietly straightened, it may not be completely smoothed out, not to mention that Qiao's is still there at this time.

When Shen Rui galloped home, he saw that everything was as usual at home, and his mother Xu did not even have the slightest sadness on her face.

"I just underestimated the He family." Xu only sighed, "The He family's hand is playing beautifully. Let's just say that he will dig up old things and damage the foundation of the Shen family, but we don't think that he wants to overthrow the pillars of the Shen family's officialdom. ”

Shen Rui gritted his teeth and said: "He Dongsheng, this villain, is used to digging up people's secrets. ”

Shen Rui was also mentally prepared for the Liang family's affairs, but Shen Zhou's personal morality was at a loss, and he even pulled out the Sun family.

The marriage contract between the Sun family and Shen Zhou was revealed to the world, which made Shen Rui, who was the son of the Sun family, particularly uncomfortable. He is not an ancient, he does not have the embarrassment and shame that his mother was once repented of and her reputation is not white and flawless, only anger at He Dongsheng who must drag the late Sun into the water.

The third master, Shen Run, was also extremely angry at the beginning, and after being told by the Xu family, he was not easily angry, and only said to Shen Rui: "I have already sent someone to He Pingsheng's side." The He family bullied my Shen family like this, and I couldn't let him go in the slightest. ”

Shen Rui nodded and said, "As soon as Brother Ying gets the news of the second uncle's resignation, he will definitely act quickly, and there is no need for us to arrange anything." ”

He paused, he had only sent Li Chang back to report a message, and now he briefly told Xu and the third master about the disaster victims investigated in the past two days.

Shen Rui said: "I am going to write these things down and hand them to the emperor through Zhang Hui." There is also a supplement to the things of the West Garden. ”

Xu Shi looked approvingly, nodded and said, "That's good." We can't let the He family disrupt our pace. ”

Shen Rui responded, and said: "Although the victims are from Pingyang Prefecture, the disaster relief is not good, causing the victims to go to Beijing, and the governments and Shanxi political envoys along the way will also be eaten. Brother Jue's side ......"

Shen Hui was sent to Shanxi to serve as a political envoy. After Shen Zhou left office, only Shen Li and Shen Hui were left in the officialdom of the Shen family.

Shen Li is the old son-in-law of the pavilion, and no one will move when he is idle. Shen Hui is hard to say.

He Nansheng was able to harm Shen Jun in the south, it can be seen that the relationship between the He family and the Shen family's clan is as thin as paper, and if He Dongsheng wants to go to the next city, it is unknown to bring down Shen Jun.

Xu's face was solemn.

The third master shook his head and said: "This matter is irrefutable, if the emperor holds the government accountable, Brother Jue can only admit it." Besides, even if there is no He family, there is a side family. It's useless to think too much, Brother Rui, and do it for the moment first. ”nt
