The next day, the tenth day of September.

Because the second master is going to leave Beijing and go south tomorrow, relatives and friends will come to practice on this day.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, it is not a glorious thing for the second master to go out of Beijing, but with the eldest master, no one thinks that the second master will not be able to come back in the future, but no one will avoid it like a snake and scorpion.

Mrs. Qiao didn't come this time, but only sent her son and daughter-in-law over. Because of the release, Mrs. Qiao has a deep opinion about the second master, the uncle, and even the eldest master complains.

The eldest lord, her aunt has never been able to control it; The second master, the uncle, insisted on going his own way this time, which made the old lady really annoyed.

In her opinion, it is natural that the eldest master only thinks about his own wealth and wealth, and is not dedicated to the younger brother of the second master, otherwise he would not let the second master leave Beijing for general affairs at the critical moment of "Jingcha".

Otherwise, with the qualifications of the second master, even if he can't be promoted to a popular yamen like James Mansion, it will not be a problem to be promoted to Xiaojiuqing Yamen as a deputy, where is it to the point where you need to leave Beijing.

She complained a few words to the second master, and the second master only blindly said good things for the eldest master, as if she, the old woman, was instigating their brotherly feelings.

Mrs. Qiao was so angry that she didn't bother to take care of it.

The second wife did not come out to entertain guests this day, and when others asked, Xu's face showed embarrassment: "I was sad yesterday, and my spirit was a little insufficient, so I didn't come out, and I ask for ......your understanding."

Relatives and friends are old, and they know that yesterday was Shen Luo's sacrifice day, but it's not good to ask too much.

Mrs. Qiao, the sister-in-law, is not good not to visit, Xu asked people to lead her to the second room, she thought that the sister-in-law was uncomfortable with her temper because of her husband's peace of mind, and she was thinking about how to persuade one or two, but she didn't expect to see that the second wife was sleeping soundly in the second room, and she didn't get up at all.

There were a bunch of guests outside, but for the second old man and his wife, she, the main master, was sleeping?

Mrs. Qiao was half angry, but she couldn't do anything.

The second wife is in her forties, and even the powerful sister-in-law of the Xu family can't control her, and she is not a person inside and out.

When Mrs. Qiao returned home and asked, Mrs. Qiao naturally couldn't tell the truth. Otherwise, with the old lady's temper, she would be blamed for her sister-in-law for not being sensible and not persuading her sister-in-law.

She only said that the second wife was tired yesterday, and she was not energetic today, and she didn't come out to entertain guests.

Mrs. Qiao knew her daughter's temper, but when she was still vomiting with her husband, she sighed twice, and didn't say anything more.

The officials have all come down, even if they are annoyed at this time, can they still resist the decree and disrespect?

On September 11, Shen Rui took the housekeeper and others to send the Erfang family, Shen Qin and Shen Bao to Tongzhou Wharf. came to see them off, as well as Qiao Er and Shen Qi, who had no official positions.

As for the third master, he originally wanted to come out with him, but he was left behind by the eldest couple under the pretext of the fourth brother's "washing three", and they didn't dare to let him run around again.

The body of the third master is afraid of joy and anger, but his mood has fluctuated a lot in the past few days.

Until he boarded the ship, Second Master Qiao didn't see his sister's face.

He didn't think too much, and only talked to the second master and Shen Jue.

Old Lady Qiao and Master Qiao have a bad temper and hard temper, and Second Master Qiao is an interesting person, and he is really close to Shen Jue.

Shen Jue's temperament has always been soft rather than hard, and after seeing the second master Qiao a few times, he felt that he had surrendered to this cheap uncle. If it weren't for the fact that he was going south with his parents this time, he wouldn't have been able to really have fun together.

When he came to the dock, Shen Rui took Changshou and Liu Cheng with him, and when he returned to Beijing, only Changshou was left. Liu Cheng was entrusted to Shen Jue by Shen Rui and brought back to Songjiang.

Unlike Changshou, although Shen Rui signed a contract with Liu Cheng's family last year, it was not a death contract, and Liu Cheng was not a slave.

When he was in Songjiang before, Shen Rui took Liu Cheng with him, wanting to repay Liu Ya for helping him back then. Now that Shen Rui has settled in the capital, he has to think about Liu Cheng's study.

In the past, when the third master was teaching, scholars were allowed to audit, but in the future, Shen Rui went out to study, and Liu Cheng wanted to borrow light to study, but it was not so convenient. After all, the scholar is not a companion, and there is a difference between respect and inferiority. Rather than this, it is better to let Liu Cheng return to his hometown to study.

As for Liu Ya, Shen Rui also asked carefully.

Liu Ya values Liu Cheng's younger brother, but in this world, there is a stepmother and a stepfather, and although she is beautiful, she is physically disabled, and she knows that even if she goes home and is sold by her father and mother again, she can't say that she is a good person, so she decided to stay by Shen Rui's side to serve.

Shen Zhai entered the mansion three ways and five times, and half of the people left Hulala, and it was deserted all of a sudden.

Xu was not worried that Sister Yu lived alone on West Road, and had already moved her to the main courtyard across the hospital.

Sister Yu, like Shen Jue, has to serve Shen Luo for a year of filial piety, and now she can go out with the Xu family to socialize. A twelve-year-old girl, if she wants to find a proper family business, she always has to look at it for a year or two.

Although Sister Yu is a concubine, she is the only daughter of the Shen family's third room, so she is not worried about getting married. It's not easy to find a match just for you. In the end, even if the biological mother is a good concubine, the right person will always be picky; The lower ones are mostly clinging.

Whenever I think of Sister Yu's family affairs, Xu is also worried.

However, compared with Sister Yu's family affairs, the most important thing in front of her is Shen Rui's study.

Now that Shen Jue, Shen Qin, and Shen Bao are gone, the third master has just had a son, and he is so excited that he has no intention of teaching, but Shen Rui can't teach himself at home.

Originally, when Shen Rui was brought to Beijing, the Xu family and the eldest master had an arrangement about the school, that is, Chunshan Academy. However, as soon as he was interrupted by the third master, Shen Rui stayed in the Shen family with his brothers and did not send them to the academy.

Although I believe in the knowledge of the third master, but for such an arrangement, the eldest master and the Xu family are reluctant in their hearts

It is important to know that in interpersonal interactions, classmates are important contacts. When I was young, we were naïve and romantic, and our likes and dislikes were out of our hearts, and it was easiest to make real friendships; When the time comes, you will know how to calculate the gains and losses, and this will be mixed.

It's just that the three elders were protected by their brothers and sisters-in-law, and they didn't understand the world, so they left their nephews to study at home on a whim

The eldest master and the Xu family didn't want to ruin his interest, thinking that it would take a year to work hard, and it was a big deal to send Shen Rui to the academy a year later.

Unexpectedly, the small family school did not last for a year and dispersed, and the matter of sending Shen Rui to Chunshan Academy was put on the agenda again

The second master left the Hanlin Academy, or it was a book of recommendation.

Because of the reputation of Chunshan Academy, there are not one or two Jingguan who want to send their children to school there, so the admission card there is also the strictest.

If you are a disciple or relative of the Hanlin Academy, you must have a letter of recommendation, and you must also have an entrance exam, and all three conditions are indispensable

The second master has already left the Hanlin Academy, and if Shen Rui wants to enroll, he can only find a letter of recommendation from Master He and Shen Li.

After discussing with the eldest master, Xu decided to ask Shen Li for help.

If you talk about it, the He family is the brother-in-law of the eldest lord, and Shen Li is just a nephew, and the relationship between the He family and the Shen family may not be farther away than the clansmen; However, Shen Li is different from Shen Rui in the end, if he skips Shen Li, he can't say that he will feel uncomfortable in his heart when he looks back.

It happened that the eleventh day was the fourth brother's "washing three", and relatives and friends also came to congratulate him.

Shen Li came out of the Hanlin Academy and also came to congratulate him. He is the same age as the third master, named uncle and nephew, but in fact he is more like a friend. For the third master to add a son, in the end, the joy is greater than the worry. The good thing is that the third master finally has a queen, and the worry is that the eldest master and his wife have always loved the young brother of the third master, and now they have a nephew, I don't know if they will cross the heir of Brother Rui.

Even from a legal point of view, Shen Rui is the son of the eldest couple and is closer than his nephew; But human favor is human favor, if the eldest couple didn't pay attention to bloodline, they wouldn't have been heirs for many years, and they wanted to let Shen Luo be both husband and wife.

When Shen Rui and others came back from Tongzhou, Xu was discussing with Shen Li about Shen Rui's study.

Shen Li said: "Auntie just hand it over to her nephew, and when the nephew is done, arrange for Brother Rui to pass the exam."

Chunshan Academy enrolls new students in February every year, and Shen Rui is now a "transfer student".

"Entering school at this time now, will it make it difficult for the sixth brother? It's really not good, and it's nothing to wait until February next year. Xu said.

Shen Li replied: "There were also halfway admissions before, that is, the admission exam was single, which was more difficult than usual. However, it is also the level of the county exam, and Brother Rui is not afraid of the test here, so my aunt can rest assured. ”

What Xu was worried about was Shen Rui's achievements, but he was afraid that it would be too troublesome to Shen Li, which would make Xie unhappy

Although Shen Li planned for Shen Rui wholeheartedly, there was still a Xie clan behind him.

Although they are both ladies from the Prime Minister's house, the Xu family is different from the Xie family.

When Xu was a child, Xu's father was dismissed from his official position and experienced warmth and warmth; If it weren't for the third master's uprightness, he would not have given the eldest son the Xu family a wife.

A few years after the Xu family married into the Shen family, the third wife and his wife passed away one after another, and then there was a six-year filial piety period.

If it weren't for the eldest master's diligence and the fact that the Xu and Shen families had a few in-laws in the officialdom to help, the Shen family would have fallen silent completely.

ups and downs, also develop Xu's calm and open-minded temperament.

Xie is the daughter of the champion, and later the wife of the champion, and his father became a cabinet minister, but he has not been frustrated, and he is getting more and more beautiful day by day.

Shen Li was estranged from his cousin in Jiufang, and since the death of his mother-in-law, the Xie family has become more and more comfortable and uncontrolled. Even in Beijing, Tongerfang has dealings with brothers of other clans, and it is also a gentleman's friend.

Only Shen Rui is here, because he is the son of a "close relative", Shen Li attaches great importance to Shen Rui and treats him as a sibling. Xie is also like an extra uncle, and it is inevitable that he will be uncomfortable.

Xie treated Shen Rui attentively in front of her husband, and looked a little reluctant after that. Since Shen Rui came to Beijing, she has been to the second room more often, and her smile has become lighter and lighter.

Shen Li was careless and couldn't detect his wife's cautious eyes.

Shen Rui was interested, so he used the excuse of reading, and rarely went to Shen Li's side.

The Xu family was annoyed by the Xie family's childishness, but they didn't want to pick it out to embarrass Shen Li. After all, Shen Li has been in the office for more than ten years, and he can get to this day thanks to the Yue family.

"Your second brother is also eight years old, and now that you send Brother Rui to Chunshan Academy, will it delay your second brother's school in the future?" Xu Shi thought about it and asked.

When she asked this, she already regretted it.

If you directly ask Master He for help, where is the need to worry about these?

Before, I only thought about not making it difficult for Shen Li, but when this matter was handed over to him, Xie Shi was uncomfortable in his heart.

Shen Li smiled and said, "How could my aunt ask about this?" The second brother still has three years, and not every family can only send one child over......"

After all, Shen Li was the second only bachelor in the Hanlin Academy to the master of the academy, and it didn't take a few days to make proper arrangements, and sent someone over to pass the word, so that Shen Rui could prepare and go to Chunshan Academy to take the entrance exam on the 16th......
