When Xu was talking to the third master, Shen Rui had already led Shen to the guest house.

Seeing that the windows of the guest house were bright and clean, the room was as warm as spring, and he didn't feel the slightest bit of dampness, Shen believed Xu's words, this guest room was indeed prepared before.

Shen Sheng was a little uneasy, wondering if he really "lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain".

Thinking about his behavior in the past few days, Shen was not full of confidence, and he was a little polite in front of Shen Rui, and said, "Aunt Fang Cai mentioned that Songbai Courtyard is Brother Jue's residence? If it's cheap, I'll take me to see it......"

"Don't mention the second brother, the younger brother will also take the second brother over." Shen Rui nodded, took Shen out of the guest house, and went to Songbai Courtyard.

The servants and maids of Songbai Courtyard, because of the responsibility of negligence, after Shen Jue's death, Xu sent a speech, and they all went to Zhuangzi to guard filial piety, and two other mothers were transferred to watch the house.

The two-entry courtyard is not the kind of side courtyard and cross-courtyard with a cramped layout, it is the last two entrances of the five-entry mansion on the West Road, with more than a dozen rooms before and after, which looks extremely spacious.

The study, living room, living room, all colors.

Now the owner has passed away, but the courtyard has not moved much, only the various ornaments and supplies in the hall and bedroom are gone, it seems a little deserted, and the furniture and the like are still there.

"This is Jue Ge'er's residence......" Shen was quite surprised and whispered to himself.

After hearing the big housekeeper mention that the small second room had been separated on the road, he thought that Shen Jue had been "under the fence" in the past few years, and he must be inferior to Shen Jue everywhere.

When Fang Cai went from the upper room to the front yard guest room, he passed by Shen Rui's residence "Jiuruju", and Shen Rui pointed it out to Shen

The courtyard in front of me looks bigger than that yard.

Shen Rui was beside him, he didn't hear Shen whispering, and he counted the time in his heart.

In February, not only will the capital be civilized, but the south will also get hotter. Shen wants to move the spirit south, and the days cannot be delayed. Jue Ge'er, are you really leaving......

On the twenty-third day of the first month, it is advisable to sacrifice and move the grave.

The worship of Shen Jue and the removal of the grave were arranged on this day, and the two brothers Shen Ying and Shen Quan got the news and came over on leave; Shen Li didn't come, but ordered his eldest son, Brother Xiaolin, to come. Shangshufu came forward on the side, and it was the third master and Shen Rui.

Everyone was dressed in plain clothes, and they set off after opening the city gate, but they arrived at the second room blessed land.

Although Shen was forbearing, he was still in tears when he saw Shen Jue's tomb.

After worshipping, the third master and Shen Ying can accompany him for half a day; But if you want to move the grave, it can't be done in a moment. At present, the snow and ice have not yet melted, and it is all frozen soil, and it will take manpower, material resources and time to dig up the graves that have been filled in again.

Others can also deal with the overnight in the sacrificial village, the third master is weak and has just recovered from a serious illness, but he does not dare to toss him

Shen Rui persuaded the third master and Shen Ying to go back to the city first, and entrusted Brother Xiaolin to Shen Ying.

The third master knows his own situation, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for everyone; Shen Ying had a job, only took a day off, and after the worship, she said goodbye to Shen Rui, Shen and others, and told Shen Quan to be a helper, and she went back to the city with the third master and Brother Xiaolin.

On the blessed land side, only Shen Rui and Shen Quan were left to accompany Shen.

The hands of the grave movers were not used to sacrifice to the tenants, but to bring servants. also specially invited a Mr. Yin and Yang to direct everyone to do it.

It is now the end of winter, and the climate in the mountains is already lower than that in the city, and by the time Shen Rui, Shen Quan and others went down the mountain to the sacrificial village, they were already covered in cold.

The foothold is still the Zhang Gui's house, the head of the village, and the Zhang family has already prepared a hot ginger soup here, Shen Rui poured two bowls in a row, and his forehead was forced to sweat, and he felt warm.

Although Shen lived in the second guest house for a few days, he was always worried about it, afraid that there would be any changes, and it was not until the dust settled today that he was completely relieved.

Without the initial panic, Shen's mind also stabilized, facing Shen Quan and Shen Rui, there was no previous slander, and he thought carefully about the previous words of Shen Ying and Shen Li.

The rules are broken, and even if you go back to attract people's mouths, it will be calmed down in ten days and a half months; But Shen Li mentioned the reputation of the Shen family, and what should I do if the second room needs to face the next attack?

Thinking like this, Shen's sigh of not seeing what happened was more of an unknowable panic.

He cleared his throat, looked at Shen Rui, and hesitated: "Brother Rui, Brother Jue will return to the sect like this, will it bring trouble to the uncle of the big clan?" ”

Shen Rui glanced at Shen in surprise, and only now did he think of this, was it too late?

Seeing that Shen Rui was silent, Shen looked at Shen Quan again: "Brother Quan, I heard that the imperial history of the capital loves to impeach people, and Uncle Cang won't be responsible for this matter, right?" ”

Shen Quan smiled bitterly: "It's no wonder that the imperial history has always heard of things, and nothing can stir up a three-foot wave, not to mention that there is indeed something right now......"

"Huh? How good is that? Shen showed some concern.

The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, Shen Quan only said vaguely: "Uncle Cang can cook, so don't worry about the second brother......"

To say that before entering Beijing, Shen was planning to come with a two-room decision, but now he can't help but have the idea of getting close. Although he was happy to fulfill his father's wish, he was a little reluctant to break off the relationship between the two rooms.

Looking at it in the past few days, Shen Cang and the Xu family are indeed kind-hearted people, and Shen Rui has a relationship with Shen Jue here, and several close in-laws are all eunuchs. Needless to say about others, let's just say that the younger generation Shen Rui has connections in Shangshufu, and a reliable father-in-law, plus his own hard work, it is a matter of time before he goes to school, and the future is needless to say.

After the guilt receded, the shrewd second master returned. He remembered his brother's previous dissuasion, and he didn't think it was completely selfish, but he only felt that his children really needed to borrow the light of the second room in the future.

Thinking like this, Shen suppressed his disdain for Shen Rui and became closer. In and out of the words, there are many words of remembrance of Shen Jue. There is a big age difference between him and Shen Rui, and there are few intersections in the past, so he really has nothing to say if he doesn't mention Shen Jue.

Shen Quan and Shen Ben are not familiar with each other, and he didn't think much about his attitude towards Erfang and Shen Rui, only because he was born in a clan and boasted of being a descendant, so he held his identity; Shen Rui had seen Shen's calculations, and watched coldly, where could he not guess his thoughts? There was nothing on his face, but he sneered in his heart.

This is human nature, and the desire is insatiable.

When one thing is satisfied, the next thing is wanted.

Shen Jue didn't see what his brother did when he was alive, and he didn't have any scruples about using it after death?

In Shen Rui's heart, he had already drawn a line between the second room and the sect room.

Nowadays, it is common for people to bury thickly, and it is not simple when Shangshu Mansion sends Shen Jue, even if it is dead, the camp burial is still the same as Chengding, it is a large tomb with a zhang deep and half a square zhang.

The manpower brought by Shen Rui and Shen took shifts to fight, and it took a day and night of hard work to reopen the coffin in the afternoon of the next day.

Although Shen Jue used an adult coffin, in order to travel cheaply, he needed to change to a small coffin. Not only was the coffin filled with a lot of gold and jade utensils, but there were also more than a dozen boxes buried with it. Some of those boxes were seen by Shen before, and they were the few mouthfuls that Shen Jue took away from Songjiang last year; There are also a few mouthfuls that look at the eyes. Those gold and jade utensils were also reloaded with a few boxes, most of which were daily object ornaments, thinking of the empty Baibaoge in Songbai Courtyard, the old things used by Shen Jue at that time.

Sure enough, Shen Rui pointed to those things and said to Shen: "These are the bequests of the late grandfather to Brother Jue, and our lord and wife were buried as they were, and the others are the gifts and private rooms that Brother Jue has saved in recent years, and they are also packed in boxes; The gold and jade utensils he carried with him were the ones he had used before, and they were not burned with other things, and they were buried with them......"

Not to mention that Shen Jue just died, even for the elderly with a high lifespan, these funerals can also be called rich.

Shen hesitated: "These ...... These are too valuable......"

"This is Jue Ge'er's burial," Shen Rui said.

Although for Shen Rui, this kind of thick burial is useless except for attracting tomb robbers, he can follow the customs of the locals, and he does not want Shen Jue to be despised by him.

Shen shut up.

After seeing the Songbai Courtyard where Shen Jue lived before his death, and then looking at the rich burial in front of him, if you want to say that the second room treats Shen Jue harshly, then Shen himself doesn't believe it. But the better the second room is to Shen Jue, the more rude the Zongfang is to ask this time.

Shen Zhi felt that his face was red, and he couldn't stand still.

Shen Quan didn't notice Shen's abnormality, and said: "It's still cheaper to go south, but this year's warm opening is late, and the North Canal is not yet navigable, and the section from Beijing to Shandong still needs to be routed by land; When you arrive in Shandong, you will have a ship...... The cousin of the Yang family happened to be in Linqing with her cousin-in-law, and the eldest aunt had already sent someone to send a letter in advance, asking her cousin-in-law to help prepare the boat going south. When you arrive in Linqing, the second brother can change boats and take the waterway......"

The "cousin of the Yang family" mentioned here is the eldest daughter of Yang Zhen, the niece of Shangshu Mansion born by Yang Zhen's late original partner Shen.

Shen became more and more uneasy, and said, "Won't it be too troublesome for my aunt......"

Shen Quandao: "That's no way, if you take the land route, it will be a lot of inconvenience, and I don't know when I can return to Songjiang after delay." How can you wait? The last sentence is indeed inaudible.

Shen also knew that it was hot in the south, and it was not appropriate to delay on the road, so he let out a long sigh. What he thought about before was still too inconsiderate, how could it be easy to help the soul for thousands of miles?

Now that the coffin has been re-moved, the day of Shen Lijing has arrived.

The coffin stopped at the blessed land, and Shen followed Shen Rui and Shen Quan back to the city once, said goodbye to the elders in the second room, and also took a look at Shen Ying and Shen Li.

Shen Ying only said: "The deceased is gone, brother go back, or persuade Uncle Hai to take care of himself......"

Shen nodded yes, the clan brothers were polite to each other, and they could all sense that there was a difference in the past, and something seemed to have changed between the clan brothers.

Shen Li said unceremoniously: "Shen Jue didn't see how you treated him when he was alive, and it's really boring to behave like this now." You are on a whim, but how much trouble you have to cause to others, even if the elders of the second room are kind, the clansmen next to you are still watching, Ling Zun will regret it in the end."

Shen sneered and fled.

The graves dug up in the blessed land of the second room in the suburbs of Beijing have been filled, and with the wind and sun, the earth has recovered, the grass is verdant, and the traces of the past are also melting.

Shen Rui here, half a year ahead of schedule, has completely entered the state of exam preparation.

Seeing Shen Rui's hard work, the elders stared more and more closely, and they were worried that he would not be able to stand it if he did not work hard like this, and his words were also explanatory. In fact, even if Shen Rui was quite anxious in his heart, he didn't think that he would definitely be able to do it, but he just wanted to do his best.

Shen Cang has been in office for more than 40 years, has experienced ups and downs, and has not paid attention to things like the impeachment of the imperial history; However, Shen Li and Shen Ying paid a lot of attention to this matter after that, for fear that someone would take advantage of this to attack Shangshufu

Unexpectedly, a major event happened in the imperial court soon, and the imperial history, who had always been like a stinky fly, also died quietly, and he died unintentionally......
