Volume 1 - Who Have Seen Again Chapter 200 The Dust Settles (2)
Shen Rui glanced at Shen Jue and said, "Just want to hear the secret?" ”
Shen Jue nodded without hesitation and said, "Well, I want to hear it."
Shen Rui shook his head helplessly, instructed Dong Xi to serve tea, and told Shen Jue about the origin of the Sun and Shen families that he heard from the Xu family, but it was deleted, that is, the marriage contract between the Sun family and the second master was hidden, as well as the gift from Mrs. Sun to the Xu family.
It's not that I don't think there's anything unsightly about this marriage contract history, after all, from beginning to end, Mrs. Sun and the Sun family are passive, not intentionally climbing the Shen family, from the establishment of the marriage contract to the regret of the marriage, it is the decision of the third master and the second master, father and son.
It's just that the second master and the second wife have something wrong, but these two want to be Shen Jue's parents. If Shen Jue has a prejudice against these two people in his heart and brings it out on his face, it will be difficult to get along in the future.
As for the gifts, they are Xu's private affairs, and I don't know how the Xu family handles those industries, whether others know about them or not, Shen Rui can't say much.
Shen Jue listened to it with relish, but what he was most curious about was whether the Sun family had a marriage contract with the second master.
Seeing that there was no such paragraph, he couldn't help but hurriedly say: "It's all finished, didn't you fall?" ”
Shen Rui snorted lightly and said: "Yesterday, I was almost taken crooked by you, the third master was the general political secretary and the general political history, and he was the third product, what kind of family affairs do you think he will set for the second master?" ”
Shen Jue thought about it, his guess was indeed unsound.
Regardless of the personal relationship between the third grandfather and the grandson, the marriage is the right family after all.
If the third prince is a gentleman of the peace, it is still possible to marry a merchant for the sake of repaying his kindness, that is, he is a third-grade official, and it is inappropriate to set a daughter-in-law from a merchant.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good not to have this stubble, otherwise it's really embarrassing...... I don't know if I'm on Brother Rego's side or there......"
Shen Rui remembered the "love" between the third master and the grandson, and asked Shen Jue: "Brother Jue, one day if you make a confidant and friend, will you value him more than your wife and children?" ”
The righteousness between such men is common in books, and there are often touching points.
After listening to the story of the third master and the grandson, Shen Rui thought of "contract friends", not because he had the heart of a rotten man, but because he was a friend in later generations, and few people could do this. When we act as a person, we think of ourselves first, then our family, and then our friends.
Shen Jue is an authentic Ming boy, and Shen Rui wants to hear his opinion.
"That's naturally not an old saying, a soldier dies for a confidant" Shen Jue patted his chest and said: "The husband is in the world, and when he encounters a passionate place, why not die"
Seeing this, Shen Rui couldn't help laughing: "Who said yesterday that there was no dessert in Zhuangzi outside the city?" It turns out that there is a great husband in front of me."
The next day, Shen Rui, Shen Jue and others still went to the third room to study with the third master.
Songjiang ancestral temple here, but the nine rooms gathered, under the witness of the clansmen, by the master of the clan, a few strokes were added to the genealogy.
The names of Shen Jue and Shen Jue under the names of Zongfang and Sifang were not crossed out, but the heirs were marked below, and the names of the two were added to the names of the eldest master and the second master of the second room.
Yesterday, although Shen Zhou coerced Shen Juren to write a succession document, it was not official.
The official document should be much more detailed, the reason, the person, and the witness.
When the eldest master of the sect signed his name, his wrist trembled slightly, and several strokes were written crookedly; Shen Juren turned his eyes a few times, a little unwilling, but he didn't have the courage to do anything again, so he took the brush and wrote his name neatly.
Seeing Shen Juren's reaction, the five-room lord shook his head secretly.
Coming out of the second room may be a good thing for Shen Rui, but it is definitely not a good thing for the fourth room.
There is a named eldest son in the fourth room, and there is a He family who has just entered the door, maybe when he will add Ding. With Shen Rui, the original partner, no matter how Shen Jin is born, and no matter how many children the He family adds later, he can't go beyond Shen Rui.
If Shen Rui is not there, should Shen Jin inherit the fourth room, or should the children of the He family inherit it? When the time comes, it will be inexplicable again.
There is also Shen Juren, who was suspected of "spoiling his concubine and killing his wife" before, and now he has succeeded his son-in-law, and there is no need for Shilin's reputation in the future.
The old lady of the third room was silent on his face, but he was lucky in his heart.
Now that the dust has settled on the matter of choosing an heir in the second room, there is nothing to do in the third room at all.
Shen Jue, who chose the zongfang, the old lady in the third room has nothing to say, Shen Jue is the youngest son, and the ancestors of the zongfang and the second room are the same mother's compatriots, and the bloodline is the closest; The bloodlines of Sifang are close, but Shen Rui is the only sister-in-law of Sifang at the moment
The blood of the four rooms is not complicated, and there are no side branches.
How can you pick an heir from the fourth room? 、
The third room is also the inner room, everyone has an ancestor, and now the descendants are flourishing, why not choose someone from the third room?
If it weren't for Shen Zhu's previous affairs, the old lady in the third room would have risen up to express "dissent", but now he didn't dare to make any extraneous branches, so he could only sulk in his heart.
The old lady of the eighth room looked at the family tree with a smile, looked at the word "Shen Rui", and remembered the scene of meeting Shen Rui several times.
Who would have thought that a child who was on the verge of dying of illness after losing his mother would have such a transformation?
The changes in the sequence of Shen Rui's mother's funeral are also obvious to all.
Everything has cause and effect, if Shen Rui does not have a mother and loses his father, even if the second room has an old relationship with the Sun family, it is impossible to succeed the only son of the Sun family.
It can be seen that the world is impermanent, today is a curse, and tomorrow may not be a blessing.
The old lady of the eighth room stroked her beard, thinking of her great-grandson Shen Bao, it was not necessarily a bad thing that he was not chosen as his heir
As for the ninth master, he was jealous but helpless.
Although he is also one of the clan elders, the old lady of the third room does not come out, he is not enough to see, and his words have no weight.
He is not familiar with the second room, although he complains that the second room will not pick people, the honest and filial Shen Lin does not pick, and picks the willful and stubborn Shen Rui and Shen Jue, but the strangest thing is Shen Li.
Shen Li is a side branch of the ninth room, and Shen Lin is his personal cousin, he did not contribute to Shen Lin's succession, and let Shen Lin return to Songjiang.
The seventh son of the Shen family entered Beijing a few years ago, and now everyone else is staying in Beijing, only Shen Lin was sent back, isn't this a slap in the face of Jiufang?
Shen Quan has a brother, Shen Zhu has a cousin, doesn't Shen Lin also have a cousin in Beijing?
But Shen Li didn't care about Shen Lin, and even when Shen Lin came back, he didn't say that the pre-backup was sent over with filial piety, where is there any way to be a junior?
No matter what the heads of each room think, Shen Rui and Shen Jue officially succeeded to the second room as heirs under the witness of the clansmen.
The next thing is to change the household post on the Yamen's side, Shen Rui and Shen Jue have not taken the children's test now, and they are not enrolled in the school, but they are less troublesome.
When the eldest master of the sect came forward and went to the Yali of Huating County to change the household registration names of Shen Rui and Shen Jue, the news that the two sons of the Shen family succeeded to the second house in the capital spread.
When the second master He heard this, he sighed heavily and said to his wife: "This son has a city government, not an ordinary teenager, I may be an enemy for the He family."
Second Mrs. He said: "According to me, the master is also worried...... Although the old man did not do it kindly, he also spent 50,000 taels of silver, and he did not occupy the Sun family's property for nothing. At that price, even if the master doesn't buy it, won't anyone else buy it? Now that the fifth sister has become the wife of the fourth room, even if she is a stepmother, but the mother of the third father and eight mothers, Shen Rui is also convinced...... If he embarrasses the He family, where will he put his parents?
A teenager, even if he becomes the heir of a high-ranking family, how much trouble can he make?
In order to flatter his parents, the more estranged he is from Bunsen, the better; If you can't forget the Sun family, what do your parents think?
Second Master He shook his head and said, "You haven't seen Shen Rui, so you don't know...... He was only nine years old when Sun died, and he was known for being stubborn, but it wasn't until I saw him that I realized that the rumors were wrong. There is no childishness at all, he is a person with great ideas, worship under the famous teacher, study hard and don't bully the poor youth, the reason why I Zhang Luo Fifth Sister is a family business, is to eliminate the gap between the two families, but I don't want to have a succession......"
Mrs. He said: "Even if he comes out again, this imperial examination road is not a one-time achievement, and he must be tested step by step." What if you get a jinshi? Isn't it still from the petty officials? When he reaches the point where even the eldest master is jealous, it will take thirty or forty years to say the least...... At that time, who would remember the old sesame seeds and rotten grain......"
It is this that the second master of He is worried about, there is an endless stream of outstanding children of the Shen family's jade generation, and there are a few Jinshi; The generation of the He family and their brothers can only be regarded as reluctant, but in the younger generation, there are not many children and nephews, and there are few seeds of study.
Now in the Songjiang realm, the He family can barely stand side by side with the Shen family, but twenty or thirty years later, the He family is not as good as the Shen family.
"The fortune of the Shen family is here......" Second Master He said helplessly.
At this time, he was looking forward to He Wuniang being able to add a son and a half daughter to Shen Juren. It would be even better if he could add a half-brother to Shen Rui. When Shen Rui wanted to take revenge on the He family in the future, he also took care of it.
Beijing, Li University Scholar's Mansion, Flower Hall.
Listening to Scholar Li's words, He Dongsheng immediately had a bitter face: "Pavilion Elder, how is it the Criminal Department?" ”
"Li Gongmou, Liu Gongju, Xie Gongyou Kankan" is talking about the three pavilion elders of the dynasty, the prince Shaobao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion Li Dongyang, the prince young master, the prince Taifu and the scholar of Wuyingdian University Liu Jian, the prince Shaobao, the secretary of the military department and the scholar of Dongge University Xie Qian.
The scholar Li in front of He Dongsheng is Li Dongyang.

He could write when he was four years old, with large characters on the diameter and ruler, and was rumored to be a prodigy by the people of Beijing. Shuntianfu regarded him as "auspicious", recommended to Emperor Jingtai, was able to write in front of the emperor, and was rewarded, and later met the king twice, and was hand-picked by Emperor Jingtai, and entered the official school of Shuntianfu.
When he arrived at Yingzong, Li Dongyang was a jinshi, and the palace test was passed on to the second class, and he was selected as a Jishi and entered the Hanlin Academy; In the year of Chenghua, he was promoted to a bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy, and the prince was assisted in reciting; By the time he arrived in Hongzhi, Li Dongyang was already a third-generation veteran......
