Chapter 520: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas (5)
Shen Rui waited outside the prefect's yamen for less than a quarter of an hour when he saw Wang Shouren and Zhang Yong pacing out. Although he had long known from Wuyan's mouth that Wang Shouren was not injured, he was worried in the end, seeing Wang Shouren come out, Shen Rui looked up and down carefully a few times before he really put his mind at ease.
Seeing Shen Rui like this, Zhang Yong's heart was sour, and he snorted lightly.
Wang Shouren glanced at Shen Rui twice, frowned, and said, "How can you describe it like that, this is staying up all night?" β
Shen Rui sneered: "Auntie fainted, Second Brother Qi was sick, Third Brother Quan went to Jinling, but no one came out about Uncle Zhang Luohong's funeral......"
Wang Shouren knew the origin of Shen Rui and the Shen family's five rooms, and blamed him for not knowing how to cherish himself, but he also knew that he had been taken care of a lot by the five rooms over the years. β
After all, the funeral is different from others, there is no peace day and night after working hard, Shen Rui is the heir of the second room of the Shen family, there is a widowed mother and a sick uncle who need to be honored, and there is a young cousin below, and he also needs to support the portal.
Shen Rui hurriedly said: "Don't worry, teacher, there is still Brother Jin here, I just moved my mouth and stared at it more, so as not to make mistakes." When the third brother comes back in two days, there will naturally be nothing to do with me. β
Wang Shouren's expression slowed slightly, because he knew that Shen Rui had prepared a carriage to come over, and he did not instruct someone to arrange a carriage, so he beckoned Zhang Yong and Shen Rui to get into the carriage and go to the fifth room of the Shen family.
Today is the day after Shen Hong's death, not the day of the big sacrifice, but Wang Shouren's identity is not only Shen Rui's teacher, but also a messenger from the capital, Shen Jin is an official even now, but in the end, he is a junior, and it is a little disrespectful to treat guests directly, so after Shen Rui left, he sent someone to send a letter to the sect and Shen Li's house, and asked the patriarch and Shen Li to come over to entertain guests.
I didn't want the ninth room master to come out with crutches and tremble, but I happened to meet Shen Hai, and I knew that Qin Cha wanted to go to the fifth room to hang his filial piety, so he had to come over. In the end, he is an old man, and when he sees Shen Li again, the master of the ninth room has no energy to pull and pull yesterday, only holding the shelf of the elders, not enthusiastic or unfamiliar, as if he left the things he begged for forgiveness before and didn't remember.
Shen Li will not forgive the Jiufang Master for his early years, but he has no intention of pursuing the old man with his party to the end, just treating ordinary people. However, the little brother who came over with the master of the ninth room, looking at the patriarch's politeness to Shen Li, was very envious, and looked at Shen Li with a little closeness but didn't dare.
When Shen Rui, Wang Shouren, and Zhang Yong came over, the middle door was wide open.
Wang Shouren had a personal relationship with the Shen family, and only came to worship in the name of Shen Rui's teacher; But Zhang Yong is a minister next to the Son of Heaven, and it is not good to fool Zhao Xianzhong like yesterday and pretend to be the steward of the Wang family. Wang Shouren told the Shen family about Zhang Yong's identity and grade, and everyone in the Shen family was busy politely saluting.
Songjiang is thousands of miles away from the capital, but the Shen family is not completely unfamiliar with the ministers. Not to mention other places, that is, in Jiangsu, there are several yamen led by internal officials, and occasionally they go to Songjiang to inspect, but their grades and identities are not comparable to Zhang Yong. In addition to Shen Li and Shen Rui, even Shen Jin was restrained, not to mention Shen Hai and the Nine Chambers of Justice, who had no grades. To say that they know that Qin sent over, they still have the heart of flattery; But when they heard that it was the great eunuch in the palace, both of them held their breath and couldn't wait to disappear immediately.
The big eunuch may not be terrible, but behind the big eunuch there are Jinyi guards, and there are Dongchang and Xichang, all of whom are people who can stop children crying at night.
Shen Li is a bachelor, he once walked in front of the palace, and he was also ordered to lecture to the East Palace, and he was not a stranger to Zhang Yongzi. After meeting Wang Shouren, Shen Li and Zhang Yong greeted each other politely.
Shen Li represents the mourning family to welcome guests, and there is no intention of dominating the guests, but Shen Rui is young and can represent the five rooms in front of the Shen clan, but in the end, he is a teenager, but it is not good to stand out in front of outsiders; And the patriarch Shen Hai, who was supposed to come forward to entertain foreign guests, did not come forward because he had a dislike with the fifth room, and he lacked confidence, and he was afraid of Zhang Yong's identity. As for the master of the ninth room, the so-called elder and young are only arrogant to the younger generations of the same clan, and they don't dare to say a word in front of the Qincha and the ministers, and they are a taciturn clan elder in a proper manner.
When the little brother of the ninth room saw the scene in front of him, he didn't know the reason, only when Shen Li was the champion and of high grade, he could talk to Qin Cha. He knew that his homework was not good, and it was not a reading material, so he secretly looked at Shen Li and Shen Jin, and couldn't help but have some other thoughts. Don't talk about others, it's the second uncle Ling who died, isn't it just that he followed the grandfather of the Erfang clan, became a prisoner, and married a young lady from the county order family. If it weren't for his bad fate and he didn't survive this catastrophe, he wouldn't be able to donate a petty official under the protection of the second room in the future.
Thinking of this, the eyes of the little brother of the ninth room flickered, looking at the backs of Shen Li and Shen Jin, whether to choose to tie up with the uncle who had grievances with him, or choose the uncle of the four-room clan, for a while, the teenage boy frowned and fell into a tangle.
Wang Shouren and Zhang Yong came to worship Shen Hong, and after greetings, they naturally followed Shen Li to the mourning hall to offer incense.
Shen Hongling Hall, Shen Qi was already kneeling beside him.
Like all kinds of trivial things in charge of white things, Shen Rui and Shen Jin can replace the Wufang brothers to cook, but only children and grandchildren can do it by wearing linen and wearing filial piety and giving condolences and courtesies.
Shen Rui asked someone to prepare a carriage to go to the prefect's yamen, and asked someone to go to Shen Qi's side to inform Shen Qi.
Shen Qi is a good young man, and now he is disabled and has lost his father, Wang Shouren has a little more bad feelings for Zhao Xianzhong, and he hates Ning Wang, the culprit behind the scenes.
Shen Qi knew Wang Shouren, and he had seen him in the hall yesterday, but he was unfamiliar with Zhang Yong.
After listening to Wang Shouren's introduction and knowing that it was the great eunuch from the palace, Shen Qi's breathing immediately became short. It's not that he has the intention of flattering the officials, but that he has suffered a lot these days, not only thinking about his wife and children who have not been heard from since he was kidnapped by the kidnappers, but also worried that he will make his parents sad because of himself, or affect the future of his brother and younger brother. If it weren't for the fact that his wife and weak son had nothing to rely on except himself, he would have died a hundred years ago, and he would not have survived until now. Two months after the Shen family's accident, the Jiang family was in Hangzhou, and they didn't send anyone to ask, most of them because they were afraid of being involved, and even their nieces were given up.
I was fortunate enough to wait until I was released from prison for a day, and I didn't have time to arrange for someone to find my wife and children, so my father ran thousands of miles, and his weak body couldn't stand it, so he died.
Shen Qi was ashamed and remorseful, but the case was unsolved for a day, and the worry in his heart doubled, for fear that after his father died, he would affect other relatives. Even if Qin Cha is Wang Shouren, Shen Qi doesn't dare to have any hope after these few months of twists and turns, and just hopes that it will be good if Shen Rui is not dragged down.
The hundreds of military and civilian casualties in Songjiang were not fakes, and he did send tens of thousands of taels of silver to the bandits before the accident in Songjiang. If the two gangs think they are a gang, then the money they took is really an enemy, and how can they be said to be innocent?
At present, knowing that Zhao Xianzhong's "extortion of confessions by torture" and "slandering the Shen family" are not only Wang Shouren, who has interests with the Shen family and is easy to be talked about, but also the internal officials around the Son of Heaven, which shows that the situation in Songjiang will go directly to the imperial front, and will not give people the opportunity to attack the rest of the Shen family.
Excited for a moment, Shen Qi's body was crooked, and he fainted.
Everyone was startled, and Shen Rui hurriedly asked someone to go to the guest room to invite Imperial Doctor Zhang over.
Entrusted by the second room of the Shen family, Imperial Doctor Zhang followed Shen Li and his entourage to the south, and took care of Shen Hong's body together with Dr. Liu, who was invited by the fifth room. Later, Shen Hong and his wife disembarked in Tianjin, and Dr. Liu saw that Imperial Doctor Zhang was there, and he was unwilling to get an axe, so he said goodbye to Shen Hong and his wife and returned to the capital; Imperial Physician Zhang was entrusted by others and loyal to others, and once again accompanied Shen Hong and his wife to the south.
Shen Hong died of illness, because of the rush, and because of the old illness caused by his weak body, Imperial Doctor Zhang did not bring people back, in the end he was uncomfortable, he wanted to return to the capital, but was repeatedly retained by Shen Rui, so he agreed to stay temporarily to take care of Guo's mother and son, who were both sick.
Waiting for Imperial Physician Zhang to show Shen Qi and glanced at the mourning hall, Fang hesitated for a moment, frowned and said: "Second Master Qi is fine, but the mental agitation can't stand it before he falls into a coma. β
Filial piety comes first, even if he is worried about Shen Qi's body, Imperial Doctor Zhang can only knock on the side to mention the point, it is not good to say that Shen Qi's body can't guard the spirit, otherwise it will be like instigating Shen Qi to be unfilial.
Shen Rui frowned when he heard this, it was not that he was dogmatic and had to let Shen Qi guard his spirit, but that Shen Qi's current mental state was not quite right, and he was too guilty because of Shen Hong's death. If he is not allowed to come out to guard the spirit, he will have to hold back his heart sickness. In addition, now there is a funeral in the five rooms, and there are no children and grandchildren, except for Shen Rui and Shen Jin, who helped Zhang Luo, they are other relatives, even if the monks are complete, it is difficult to hide the loneliness of the bereaved family, Shen Qi is the only parent and child of Shen Hong, and if he does not solve the problem of filial piety, he cannot really recuperate with peace of mind.
Shen Jin sighed in a low voice: "If only the third brother could come back earlier." β
The people who sent to the capital to report the funeral set off at the same time as the people who went to Nanjing to find Shen Quan, Nanjing is some distance from Songjiang after all, even if Shen Quan gets the news and returns, it would be good to be able to come back before the "first seven". Shen Qi's appearance, but he couldn't last seven days.
There are priorities, Shen Qi's heart disease can be treated slowly, but the body has to survive first. Thinking like this, Shen Rui made a decision in his heart, and said to Imperial Physician Zhang: "I'm tired of Imperial Physician Zhang to look at the lower parts again, add one or two flavors of medicine appropriately, and let Second Brother Qi recuperate for a few days first, and then come to guard the spirit." β
Imperial Physician Zhang was entrusted by the second room of the Shen family to come to Songjiang, but now that the head of the Shen family is here, the two champions of the big Shen and Xiao Shen are here, Shen Rui ordered him to add sleeping herbs to the medicinal soup, which is ...... Is that all right?
Imperial Physician Zhang was still hesitating, but Shen Li had already nodded and said: "Parents who suffer from the body, taking care of yourself is the greatest filial piety, Rui Ge'er's proposal is right, so please trouble Imperial Physician Zhang to change a prescription." β
Shen Hai listened to it, frowning and killing flies, thinking that this was really not like words, where is there a son who is dead and his son is still recuperating in peace? Since ancient times, filial sons, because of the mourning of not one or two, there is no one so expensive.
At this time, Shen Rui had already sent Shen Qi back to the inner courtyard with Imperial Physician Zhang. Shen Li temporarily took the identity of the host and beckoned Wang Shouren and Zhang Yong to the side hall for tea. The ninth room master didn't know whether he was afraid of the official authority, or if he didn't want to see Shen Li, he had to be proud, so he found a reason to take the little brother back. Shen Hai claimed to be the patriarch of the Shen clan, and he didn't want to leave in disgrace, so he followed into the living room.
After listening to Shen Li's question about the movement of the prefect's yamen last night, knowing that Yan Juren instigated the bandits to attack the prefect's yamen, it was only last night's movement, and it was just a farce, and the bandits had been arrested even with Yan Juren, Shen Hai couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
The more Yan Juren makes more trouble, the better, and when King Ning comes out, there will be no matter of the Shen family in this "Songjiang banditry......
