Chapter 519: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas (4)

In the five-room spiritual shed, the sound of monks and Taoists chanting again.

When Shen Jin came over, Shen Rui had just freshened up, and without breakfast, he ordered the housekeeper to send two people food.

When the food box came up, in addition to a few side dishes, two vegetarian buns, and a casserole of ginseng porridge, which was ordered by Guo last night, it was specially prepared for Shen Rui and Shen Jin brothers.

Although these two brothers are young, they are the most boiling things, Shen Qi is seriously injured, Shen Quan's return date is undecided, and there are many places that need them to work inside and out. Guo's gratitude was not lip service, but he also sincerely took care of the two as his own sons and nephews.

Eating silently, sleeping silently, Shen Rui and Shen Jin silently had breakfast, Shen Jin hesitated, and still mentioned Fourth Sister Zhang.

Fourth Sister Zhang came to vote late at night, and the situation was pitiful, but now there are no elders in the fourth room, only Shen Jin is alone, there is a difference between men and women, and they can't live together in vain. There is also the identity of Fourth Sister Zhang, after all, she was "selling good for cheap" before, so she was afraid of mentioning her sadness, and it was not good to ask her about the household registration and identity deed, but in order to avoid future troubles, she had to find her master's house.

Shen Jin was originally guilty, and he cared about it, and he didn't notice what was wrong with Fourth Sister Zhang's words; Shen Rui has nothing to do with the Zhang sisters, he saw their sisters in his early years, and he had a mediocre impression of the third sister Zhang, but he did not have a good impression of the fourth sister Zhang. According to the comparison of people in the book, these two sisters are the rebirth of Second Sister You and Third Sister You in "Dream of Red Mansions". Sister Zhang is okay, soft and weak, not likable or annoying; Fourth Sister Zhang was a little obedient in her frivolity, and her eyes flickered and she didn't look at it peacefully.

"Songjiang is thousands of miles away from Shuzhong, and this merchant buys too far." After hearing this, Shen Rui couldn't help frowning, was silent for a while, and said bluntly: "It's so far away, and it's impossible to find out if what she said is true or false for a year and a half. It is said that the water and soil in Shuzhong raise people, but after all, they are sold into slavery, and the food climate over there is quite different from Songjiang, I am afraid that it may not be the habit of life, how does the eldest brother look at Sister Zhang? Has it been tempered by wind and frost, or has it adapted to the water and soil and is properly maintained? What about accent changes? After a few years outside, I'm afraid that the local accent is also different, right? ”

A series of questions made Shen Jin stunned. He is not a nerd who does not understand the world, so he naturally heard the meaning of Shen Rui's words, which was to suspect that Fourth Sister Zhang was lying.

It was really too unexpected to see Fourth Sister Zhang in her yard in the early hours of the morning, and hearing what happened to the sisters of the Zhang family made Shen Jin feel more guilty, so she didn't think deeply. Now that Shen Rui reminded him, Shen Jin thought carefully about the situation of meeting Fourth Sister Zhang, and said: "Although it is a widow's dress, it can be cleaned up decently and cleanly, and the makeup is more delicate than in the early years, but it doesn't look like he has endured hardship." Speak slowly and softly, more soft and glutinous in the south of the Yangtze River, and a little less Songjiang accent......"

As she spoke, Shen Jin herself understood that Fourth Sister Zhang was lying. Although he has never been to Shuzhong, he is a talented man in Shu, and there is no shortage of Shuzhong people in the same year, even if he speaks official language, he also has a strong Shuzhong accent, and the speed of speech is much faster than that of Jiangnan people.

"The person is not right, and the time is not right, I am afraid that the person who comes is not good." Shen Rui is not afraid to speculate on Fourth Sister Zhang with the greatest malice.

Regardless of how true or false the experience that Sister Zhang told before, just saying that a pair of young sisters were outcast, what they suffered would only be worse than what they said. If it is true according to the story, the two times she was a merchant concubine, although she suffered some hardships, she was also clothed and fed; If the story is false, the fate of the young and beautiful woman being sold will naturally have another whereabouts, which is worse than being a concubine twice.

Shen Jin sighed: "I originally thought that it was because of my aunt that their sisters were exiled to a foreign land, but now that they are back, they will be resettled as good students and compensated." But if she really had other thoughts, I really didn't know how to deal with it. ”

As the two brothers were talking, Changshou led a little guy in a green shirt in, not someone else, it was the little guy next to Wang Shouren, Wuyan.

"Senior brother, when the master heard about Master Shen's funeral, he sent the little one over to deliver the post, and he will come over with Grandpa Zhang to worship Master Shen later." Wu Yan saw Shen Rui and said.

On the public, Wang Shouren is not fake, but when he arrived in Songjiang, he knew that the father of Shen Ying, who was also a Beijing official, had died of illness, and there were two champions of Da Shen and Xiao Shen, so they should come to worship them; In terms of selfishness, there is a relationship between Shen Rui, who is a disciple of Shen Rui who helps the clan to take care of the funeral, and Wang Shouren, a teacher, is not easy to do.

However, Zhang Yong, after all, is a minister, and is willing to come over to worship Shen Hong, which is very much to save face for the Shen family.

Such a decency naturally has no reason to refuse, and it also makes the many gentry in Songjiang who are watching see that the Shen family has not yet declined, and it is not their turn to secretly move.

Shen Rui received the post on behalf of the host and said, "Thank you on my behalf, teacher." ”

Remembering that there was a faint fire in the direction of the prefect's yamen last night, Shen Rui said with concern: "Did the prefect's yamen go out of the water last night?" At that time, I guessed if it was over there, and wanted to send someone over to ask, but when I saw that the fire had stopped, I didn't send anyone to break the curfew. ”

Wu Yan shook his head and said: "It's not that the water is walking, it's the old man and the old man Zhang who set up an ambush to arrest people, and they caught a lot of people." ”

Wu Yan said it easily, but Shen Rui was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly asked: "Someone actually attacked the prefect's yamen?" How is the teacher, are you hurt? ”

Wu Yan said with a smile: "Since the old man set up an ambush, it is naturally proper." ”

Wuyan was young, and Wang Shouren had already sent him down to sleep, so he didn't know the danger of last night, and said with a little pride: "The master thought that the other party might set fire, so he asked someone to prepare a lot of sand in the yard, and piled a lot of it on the window and under the door. The thief wanted to set the fire, but before the fire started, it was crushed with sand, that is, the window frames and thresholds of the wing rooms were scorched in some places. The teacher is good, but it is Zhang's father-in-law who is brave, and I heard that it was his old man who shot the bandit leader with his own hands. ”

Zhang Yongxi Wuyan is lively and clever, and he has always been kind to Wuyan, and Wuyan is less afraid and more close.

After listening to Wuyan's words, Shen Rui couldn't stay anymore. Zhang Yong is the great eunuch in front of the emperor, and he was ordered to go on a business trip with a number of brocade guards, and it was his turn to fight the enemy with his own hands, which showed the danger of last night.

Thinking of this, Shen Rui said to Shen Jin: "Big brother will take care of this side first, and I will go to greet the teacher." ”

Shen Jin saw that Shen Rui looked nervous, his eyes could not hide his worry, knowing that he had a deep relationship with Wang Shouren, he must be worried about last night's incident, and nodded: "Ask Lord Wang on my behalf, if Lord Wang's carriage and horses are not comfortable, come back to worship another day." ”

Shen Rui nodded and beckoned Wuyan to leave.

Wu Yan said curiously: "The old man only came here when he was young, and now it's just the beginning of the morning, where will the senior brother go to greet him?" ”

Shen Rui said: "When the thief entered the yamen last night, did you see it?" ”

Wu Yan touched the back of his head when he heard this, and said: "The master sent me to sleep in another yard, I wanted to stay up and watch the excitement, but I didn't know how to fall asleep...... However, I asked Brother Lin beside Grandpa Zhang in the morning, and I inquired clearly, and I didn't miss anything. ”

Sure enough, Wuyan didn't know that last night was dangerous. He is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, and he just asks people, and others also pick up what they can say.

Shen Rui didn't talk nonsense anymore, asked someone to set up a carriage, and went to the prefect's yamen with Wuyan.

Wuyan was still chaotic, and said suddenly: "This carriage is spacious, and it looks more decent than the prefect's yamen." ”

Shen Rui looked at the carriage with some familiarity, but his memory was a little vague, not his own memories, but in the memories of little Shen Rui.

It turned out that this carriage was exactly the same as the carriage before Sun's death, and it turned out that Sun wanted to customize a new carriage that year, and it happened that Guo gave birth to Sister Fu, and Sun recognized Sister Fu as a daughter, so he customized two, one for his own use, and one for Sister Fu. Back then, Xiao Shen Rui had a willful and domineering personality, so he was not happy for several days, and he didn't have a good face for Sister Fu. It was Guo Shi who appeased Shen Rui and gave Shen Rui a set of Qibao sailing boats at the bottom of the box, so that Shen Rui didn't care about this matter anymore.

That set of Qibao sailboats, long before Sun's illness, was fooled by Zhang Lao'an from Shen Rui's hands, either by the Zhang family, or secretly exchanged for silver by Zhang Lao'an.

Because of the "pain of losing a mother", can Zhang Lao'an and Shen Juren, who don't care about Shen Rui, fool Shen Jin, who is not easy to get close to his younger brother because he is afraid of the difference between his concubines and concubines, can he really fool the Guo family, who is friendly with the Sun family and watched Shen Rui grow up?

Early in the morning, the cool breeze was blowing, and Shen Rui broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing that Shen Rui didn't speak, people were shocked, Wu Yan only thought that he had said the wrong thing, covered his mouth, and looked at Shen Rui cautiously.

Shen Rui sighed in his heart, all these years have passed, no matter whether Guo is suspicious or not, the care he has taken care of over the years is not fake. Besides, this shell is indeed Xiao Shen Rui's shell, if Guo really can't help but ask, he can't tell the truth, it's a big deal to use the rhetoric of "Zhuang Zhou Mengdie", as for believing it or not, it's not up to him.

At this time, the carriage had arrived at the prefect's yamen.

Because of the five inkstones, the porter knew that the guests of the Qin Mission, not only did not make a gesture of embarrassment, but invited Shen Rui very kindly, but he saw Shen Rui's dress clearly, and his face was slightly weird.

Shen Rui looked down at his body, although it was not filial piety, it was also filial piety, so he gave the porter a piece of silver cake to thank him, and asked Wuyan to invite Wang Shouren to wait outside.

Wang Shouren had already changed into plain clothes, and was talking to Zhang Yong, when he heard Wuyan say that Shen Rui came to pick him up in person, and now he was waiting outside, very surprised.

Zhang Yong is a human sperm, and immediately thought of it, and said with a smile: "But Wu Yan and Shen Xiaoge talked about last night's incident, most of them scared him, and they were worried about you, a teacher." The latter sentence was addressed to Wang Shouren.

Wu Yan stuck out his tongue and said, "It turns out that this is the reason, no wonder the senior brother looks wrong, and he has to come to pick up the master in person." When I arrived outside the yamen, I found that I had not changed my clothes, so it was difficult to come in, so I could only wait outside. ”

Father and son are one of the closest relationships. It's just that Shen Rui has always been young and old, and his joy and anger are invisible, but the teacher and student have always been polite.

Knowing that Shen Rui was worried about himself, Wang Shouren was convinced, but he still said: "In the end, I am young, I can't hold my breath, and I still lack experience." ”

Zhang Yong saw that although Wang Shouren had a hard mouth, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he couldn't hide his gratification, but he really felt a little envious, thinking about whether he would accept a few apprentices when he returned to the capital, and in the future, the apprentices and grandchildren would also have people who would respect and worry about themselves. With such a longing, the gloom of King Ning's rebellion also dissipated a little......
