Volume 1: Who Have Seen Again, Chapter 331: A Pulse of Cigarettes (1)

What's in the box? Others can't really see it, but Shen Rui stands close, but he can see it really.

The common children's pillows in the Susong area, the cloth tiger pillow, are not one or two, but five or six, and the size varies from one foot long to one and a half feet. Under the cloth pillows, there are several bamboo pillows for children.

Needless to say, this is Shen Jue's old thing when he was a child.

"The master still has ......" Shen Jue grabbed a tiger pillow and burst into tears.

At this time, others also saw the objects in his hands, but they had different expressions.

This box is Shen Jue's old things, but what about the others? The "bequests" of other grandchildren are all cultural and antiquities, is it possible that Shen Jue, the grandfather's favorite grandson, is an exception? If that's the case, isn't there a suspicion of "wanting to cover up"?

Shen Quan sat under Shen Qi, and the expressions of the onlookers in the sect room were a little more sarcastic.

What if you open the box and "check" it? It can't be said in their hearts, but when the master of the sect is like this, the gold nuggets and silver ingots and other valuable things are hidden and secretly given to Shen Jue.

has the heart of a villain, and can only see "sneaky acts" in his eyes.

The remaining five boxes were unlocked one by one, and four more boxes were Shen Jue's childhood belongings, two of which were stationery, and the red booklets from the enlightenment were all there; Two boxes of toys, all kinds of children's toys, there are wooden, copper, jade, and a box of various colors of longevity locks.

There is a box left, containing a few colors of gold and jade ornaments, as well as a pair of jade and agate chess sets, which look ancient and valuable.

Shen Jue took it out one by one, and grabbed a string of dark and shiny bracelets in his hand after the most slight, and held it tightly in his hand.

Shen Rui, Shen Qi, Shen Quan and others, even if they look at this bracelet, but looking at Shen Jue's treasure, they can guess that this is the personal belongings of the patriarch's wife.

At this time, everyone in the sect room was a little unsure.

The grandfather only left this box of things for Shen Jue? Although there are a few ornaments that are pinched gold wire inlaid treasure bottles, they are indeed worth some silver, but they are not eye-catching. In the private rooms of other grandchildren, there are also three or two good things, but there is no need to be angry.

Others were still hesitant, the fourth brother of the sect was a concubine, the most money-loving, and the thickest-skinned, got up and came over, with a little envy and said: "Isn't this the agarwood bracelet that the master has worn all his life?" I thought I was going with the master, but I didn't expect it to be left with Brother Jue. This is a rare object, and I heard that it was opened by a high monk back then

Shen Jue didn't look at the fourth brother, and brought the bracelet into his wrist.

The fourth brother looked at the objects scattered all over the place, his eyes were like hooks, and he couldn't wait to reach out and rummage through them to see if there was any entrainment, but because the eldest and second masters of the sect were there, he didn't dare to do it.

The second master of the sect couldn't help frowning when he looked at the concubine.

Not to mention that the grandfather didn't leave anything for Shen Jue, even if he exhausted his private house, could he still take it back? When Shangshufu is vegetarian?

Shen Rui sent the key over and never returned to his seat. Looking at his appearance, if someone dares to embarrass Shen Jue, he will immediately confront him, although he is a little arrogant, but his care for Shen Jue can be seen.

The second master got up and said, "Big brother, since it's a matter of the master, let's go home first."

The eldest master of the sect was also disgusted with the two nephews' eyes full of thieves, nodded and said: "After being busy these days, you are also tired, go back and rest." ”

Although the fourth brother was unwilling, he didn't dare to disobey his father, and was glared at by the second master, and followed him down.

After walking for three times, Shen Ji and Shen also felt that they were happy.

Shen secretly paid attention to the eldest master of the sect, but it was the same as Shen Quan's guess, suspecting that he was pro-Laozi, and always felt that the eldest master was so partial to Shen Jue, and what he kept should not only be this little thing, but also some gold and silver tickets, not to mention private property, etc., must have let the eldest master secretly hide it.

However, if Lao Tzu is eccentric, he can only endure it if he is not angry when he is a son. Do you want to make a fuss and let others see the joke?

Shen Ji has been in officialdom for a long time, and he thinks about the purpose and interests of everything he does.

He didn't suspect that the master had other valuable gifts, but he just guessed the master's intention of giving these old things to Shen Jue, whether this was to let Shen Jue not forget the old love, or let Shen Jue cut off the old love?

The second room looks beautiful now, but it is strong outside, Shen Cang is old, Shen Rui is still young, Shen Zhou has been released from Beijing, whether he can return to the capital is still two words.

According to Shen Ji's original intention, that is, they are both clansmen, and each house of the Shen family should be working hard together, and they should also help each other in the officialdom, which is more reliable than in-laws of the same year. However, there are examples of the second room not going on a blind date with the clansmen, Shen Li is also lukewarm to the clansmen, and the fifth room is the second room.

As a grandson of Shen Ji, he should have been in charge of the younger generation, but the brothers of the clan did not give face and went their own way. In the final analysis, it is still the bad head of the second room.

Otherwise, the second house moved the family and left Songjiang, and if they did not accept the control of the clan, the clansmen at the head of the other houses would not follow suit, and the housework of each head of the house would be autonomous, making the weight of the clan in the clan lighter and lighter, and they could only take care of some trivial matters.

Shen Ji's dissatisfaction with the second room is no longer a day or two.

originally thought that Shen Jue would succeed the second room, and the second room and the sect room would get closer, but he failed to do so, which doubled Shen Jue's dissatisfaction.

Looking at the two sons whose expressions were becoming more and more gloomy and gloomy, the eldest master of the sect couldn't help but feel depressed; Looking at Shen Rui, who was standing two steps away from Shen Jue, he also felt bored.

Shen Qi saw the cold scene, and said in a "low voice": "Brother Rui, is it time to leave, my mother is still waiting?" ”

Shen Rui nodded, turned to the eldest master of the sect and said, "Uncle, my nephew took Brother Jue to Uncle Hong's side first."

The eldest master of the sect sighed, nodded and said, "Go and come back in two days......"

Shen Rui didn't answer, but said, "In a few days, my nephew wants to go and worship Aunt Sifang......

Sun is Shen Rui's biological mother, and when Shen Rui returned to Songjiang, he naturally wanted to worship, which was filial piety.

The eldest master of the sect nodded and said, "It should be so"

Shen Jue had just seen the old things, and he was out of shape for a while, but now he had wiped his tears, put the gold and jade ornaments he took out back into the box, stood behind Shen Rui with his hands down, looked at the eldest master of the sect and whispered: "The child also went with the second brother."

Dad can't be called, "uncle" Shen Jue can't be called for a while, so he can only be vague.

The eldest master of the sect forced a smile and said: "Go, these days have also suffered you ......" Speaking of this, he said to Shen Qi again: "Brother Qi, Brother Rui and Brother Jue will trouble you to take care of them more......"

Shen Qi got up and said, "Uncle, don't worry, my mother has always regarded Brother Rui and Brother Jue as the same as her own children

Others didn't care, Shen Ji remembered the disobedience of Shen Ying and Shen Qi brothers in the capital, and his face turned a little dark. In his opinion, the Wufang brothers are so ignorant of promotion, but they are just snobbery, and they are just talking about Shangshufu

Shen Rui succeeded the two-bedroom small long room, which gave the fifth room an opportunity to climb; If it was Shen Jue who had passed to the small long room, would the fifth room still dare to have a head and head with him?

Shen Jue was pampered by his family when he was a child, and he was a scheming child; Shen Rui is different from ordinary people in the city, obviously as big as Shen Jue, but he suppresses Shen Jue obediently.

If this continues, Zongfang's son will be lost in vain.

Where would Shen Jue think of the two brothers who came out of his compatriots, one because of money and the other because of power, they were all suspicious of him. He looked up at the two brothers, and saw that their faces were not good, and he just thought that he was still immersed in the funeral of the grandfather.

He thought of the eldest lady of the sect again, and hesitated whether to say goodbye, but it can be seen that the eldest lady of the sect did not mention it, thinking that he would come over before leaving, so he did not speak.

When the Shen Qi brothers took Shen Rui and Shen Jue away, Shen Ji couldn't wait to find the master of the sect

"Master, shouldn't I remind Brother Jue?" Shen Ji said worriedly.

The eldest master of the sect was surprised: "What do you remind Brother Jue?" ”

"Shen Rui is not shallow, and Brother Jue is really ...... After all, the bloodline is far away, but they are brothers in name. Shen said.

When the eldest master of the sect heard this, his face immediately sank, and he stared at Shen Ji: "How did the eldest brother remember to say this?" ”

"The lord is not in the capital, I don't know what to do, Shen Rui is now very valued by the eldest couple of the second room, not only the family affairs have been booked early, but they have also begun to meddle in the housework of Shangshu Mansion in the past two years, and they have also taken on most of the human relations during the New Year's Festival." Shen said.

"What's so strange about that? Brother Rui is the heir, and the inheritance of the incense is gone, so it is natural to make a marriage as soon as possible and spread out as soon as possible; He is the eldest son over there, whether it is taking care of housework or personal contacts, isn't it right? The eldest master of the sect said in a deep voice.

"He is a beautiful man, a talent in the middle of the show, and he has found a university scholar to be his father-in-law, but he compares Brother Jue to the dust...... Brother Jue is as old as Shen Rui, and he was not a little smarter than Shen Rui in his early years, why did he go to Shangshu Mansion, but it was better to grow up at home? The old man and wife in the second room are also acting too unfairly......" Shen said.

The eldest lord of the sect listened to the eldest son's complaints, but he was annoyed that his words were provocative and ill-intentioned; I also heard that he didn't even want to call "uncle" and "aunt", as if he was separated from the second room.

The eldest master of the sect said with a cold face: "I can't get close, now Brother Jue and Brother Rui are cousins, and it's boring to think about it...... Don't talk about it again in the future......"

Shen Ji had to say more, and the eldest master of the sect frowned and said: "Brother Rui is Brother Jue's only cousin, if you don't rely on Brother Rui, who else can you rely on?" In the end, Brother Jue has already been born, and there are heirs and elders who are worried about him, and the eldest brother has the time to think about this, or think about the resumption of next year...... Maybe at that time, you will need Brother Rui to help you do favors......"

Shen Ji sneered: "It's just a yellow-mouthed child, and he can't be on the stage with the name of Shangshu Gongzi."

It turned out that Shen Rui had returned to Songjiang for the past few days, and the Songjiang officialdom had more or less heard from him. Although he is just the son of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, not the Ministry of Officials or the Ministry of Households, he can't control the head of the magistrate, but he has a good fate, which everyone is happy to do.

In the name of hanging sacrifices, many officials came to the sect, and "unintentionally heard" that the son of the Dasi Kou family also returned to his hometown to pay tribute.

However, not everyone is qualified to open their mouths to meet, after all, that is Shangshu Gongzi, not an ordinary Yanei

Songjiang is not Nanjing, and the highest magistrate is the prefect.

Although the prefect is higher than Langzhong, he can't stand the Ming Dynasty's preciousness as a Beijing official, so in Shen Ji's eyes, the prefect is nothing at all.

However, when Shen Rui came out to entertain guests, he was humble and polite, without the bearing of a prince in the ya, without the slightest bearing. I thanked and accepted the ordinary meeting gift, and politely declined the slightly valuable one; For private invitations, in the name of mourning, they will not accept anywhere.

In Shen Ji's opinion, it is too petty.

The opinion of the eldest lord of the sect is just the opposite of that of the eldest son.

The mouth of the eater is short, and the man is soft. Above the officialdom, the relationship between people is complicated, and if you can't keep it, you will be wrapped into it. Shen Rui acted so cautiously, it was a safe way, otherwise a teenager would suffer a secret loss if he went out to socialize with others. It is a trivial matter to be taken advantage of, but it is a big matter if it causes trouble and affects Shen Cang.

Seeing that Shen Ji was still sneering, the eldest master of the sect said angrily: "You can get on the stage? In the early years, I saw that you were still stable, why are you frivolous now? Or do you consciously rely on the He family, and you can soar? Where in this world is there anything that is not earned? If the eldest master of the He family is so capable, why don't you mention your own family, but you are the nephew in the next room? Don't you forget that your surname is Shen and not He? ”

Shen Ji frowned when he heard this, and said unconvinced: "Even if you are not your uncle, Uncle Lobby has also taken good care of his son over the years...... Shangshufu is just a clan relative, and it looks like five suits are about to come out. They will be poor relatives of the Songjiang people, and they can't wait to leave Yu Jingjing, who dares to come to ......"

"I don't know that my son has become a white-eyed wolf? If you didn't have the second room lord to take care of you, could you stay in the capital as a Beijing official? Can you go from the principal to the top in just a few years? The ready-made kindness is here, but you forget about Yu Jingjing, but you have resentment? It's really 'Shengmien, Doumien, you have such a temperament, don't say that you are just a nephew, that is, a nephew of your relatives, and no one dares to mention that the eldest master of the He family is shrewd when he is a child, except for a mouth that sounds good, how can he ever let others take advantage of half of it? You will be forty people, and you can't tell the difference between distant and close relatives? The eldest master of the sect was trembling with anger.

No matter how much he prefers the younger son, it is always the eldest son who has high hopes, but he didn't expect the eldest son to be obedient, and now he will be forty years old, but he is beginning to be confused.

Shen Ji was scolded so much that his face was flushed, and he straightened his neck and said: "Back then, my son was promoted more and more, just in time for the Criminal Department to clean up the old case and make a contribution......

The eldest master of the sect sneered: "Although you have never been an official, you also know that every nine years, how many people have been officials for a lifetime, and they are only five grades when they are old...... You have been promoted to the fifth grade early, and in a few years you will have the qualifications to upgrade to the fourth grade, which is already too much stronger than others. This is too smooth, I feel that the official hat is too small early......"

Shen Ji said in a low voice: "The year before last, Jingcha, if there was a heart to help and didn't expect to be promoted, it would not be difficult to adjust the household rites of the officials......

Seeing that his son was stubborn, the eldest master of the sect didn't bother to preach, and said disheartenedly: "You have only been worried for a year, and look at how your good uncle mentions you?" I just hope that you will really have a long ambition when you arrive, and you won't need your clan relatives......"
