As soon as Shen Zhu and the others left, Shen Jue quickly closed the door, first covered his mouth and smiled, laughing and laughing, and then couldn't help laughing: "Ha Lu Ha ......Ha Brother Zhu Jiu's face turned blue, but Brother Rui didn't name him, he couldn't admit that he had that ...... in his heart I'm afraid he just suffocated to death, and he can't say that word......"

"Yes, yes, he looked at Cousin Rui's eyes and was on fire, but he didn't say anything." He Taizhi also said with a smile.

Just now, Shen Zhu's big hat was buttoned down, and He Taizhi's heart was not happy, and he even exempted his cousin.

Not to mention whether this matter is right or wrong, with the elders of the Xu family, it is not Shen Zhu's turn to involve their social contacts.

However, after the two of them laughed, He Taizhi returned it, and Shen Jue obviously had something on his mind.

Shen Rui saw it in his eyes, and after He Taizhi left, he persuaded: "Don't listen to Brother Zhu Jiu's nonsense, Liu Zhong is only a six-rank lieutenant official, and he can't leave the palace easily; We are not in the officialdom, so we can't talk about any flattery. It's just the fate of Pingshui meeting, and when you arrive in the capital, you may never see each other in this life. ”

Shen Jue's face was a little strange, his eyes flickered, and after hesitating for a while, Fang leaned over and whispered, "Brother Rui, this waiter is clean...... What exactly is the cut? ”

Shen Rui was stunned by the question, and then glanced at Shen Jue's crotch.

Shen Jue only felt a chill in his crotch, and hurriedly took a step back and stretched out his hand to cover it.

Everyone is a reader, it's not easy to say it too plainly, Shen Rui thought about it for a while, and said: ""Ancient and Modern Rhyme Meeting" is on the cloud and kidney, and the palace torture man is castrated. ”

"Outer kidney? Are the kidneys still divided into inside and outside? Shen Jue obviously hadn't read this book, groping his belly, puzzled.

Shen Rui rolled his eyes, and had no choice but to say bluntly: "The egg is the outer kidney, where the essence is, if you go there, the descendants can't get an erection, and they can't have sex." ”

"Huh?" Shen Jue said unexpectedly: "The bird is still left?" I thought it was a bird......

Shen Rui patiently said: "The descendants are connected to the urethra, if you go, it will be as the second brother Qin said...... We can't stand the smell like that, let alone the nobles in the court? It's just that the people are curious about things in the court, and there are many speculations, thinking that they are cutting off the roots of their descendants.

As for the purification method of cutting off all the underneath, it seems that only the Qing Dynasty had it.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty regarded the servant as a domestic servant, used as an eye and ear or a confidant, and devoted himself to the court as a servant to become a way for the poor to ascend.

Everything that should be said has been said, seeing that Shen Jue still has to dig into the bottom of the situation, Shen Rui frowned and said: "I probably understand, why do you think about this?" If you have been so curious, then don't see Liu Zhong in the future, show your traces in front of him, and don't offend anyone. ”

Shen Jue hurriedly said: "Don't ask, don't ask...... Wasn't that a moment of curiosity...... As Brother Rui said, they are all hard-working people, but if there is any other way to survive, who can ruthlessly let themselves be subjected to this knife......"

Shen Rui didn't invite Liu Zhong down again, and when the weather was bad outside and he couldn't go to the deck, he went upstairs directly with Shen Jue and He Taizhi.

During this period, I also met that Young Eunuch Zhang twice. Zhang Shaojian is in his thirties, quite burly, except for the white face and beard, the difference between him and ordinary men is not very big.

It is said that eunuchs will be more stingy and greedy for money because they have no descendants and cut off their female sex.

This Young Eunuch Zhang is a generous man. Three hours after seeing him for the first time, he regarded himself as an elder Liu Zhong, and gave everyone a gift in his purse. Shen Rui is here to give a double salute, in order to thank that set of Xingyi Fist.

Shen Jue and He Taizhi were not surprised, it was normal to see their friends and elders getting courtesy, but it was not normal, after all, Daming was a state of etiquette.

Shen Rui felt Liu Zhong's sincerity, if it weren't for Liu Zhong's face, where would a ceremonial supervisor and young eunuch take care of a few hairy children.

The purse was heavy, and when they returned to the second floor, everyone opened the purse, and inside were two pairs of begonia Ruyi gold bills, each full of two taels, and a purse was eight taels of gold.

Although Shen Jue and He Taizhi are from good backgrounds, they can see these two pairs of golden coins, and they also feel delicate and cute.

He Taizhi took it and went to offer the treasure with his sister, although Shen Jue had the intention to show it, but except for Shen Quan's two sentences of "internal creation" in front of him, he didn't mention it to anyone else.

The farther north you go, the colder it gets.

Nightly activities on deck have also been cancelled.

When the ship arrived in Jining, when everyone got off the boat, it was already the tenth day of the lunar month. It is the coldest time in Sanjiu.

Meng Shilang's original hometown is in the countryside of Jining, and the daughter of the Meng family said goodbye to the Xu family and returned to her hometown.

The steward of the second room had already traveled by land, and he walked ahead with a whip and hired a carriage and coachman.

The tribute ships also docked, and the tribute on board was transferred to Beijing by land.

According to the rules, the tributes from the south to the north should have arrived in the capital before the canal froze, but due to the mistake of the imperial supervisor before the errand, the tribute was inferior.

Before even getting off the ship, Zhang Shaojian sent someone to invite Xu to enter Beijing on the same road.

Xu was a little hesitant, but he calculated the days in his heart, Jining is 1,200 miles away from the capital, if he follows the Qincha tribute, all the way to the official road, he can reach the capital at the end of the year; If you don't follow the Qincha, most of them will have to spend the New Year on the road.

After thinking about it, Xu Shi accepted the invitation of Zhang Shaojian and went to Beijing with him.

In this way, after taking over the trip, the Xu family had a lot of peace of mind, and brought his nephews and nephews with him, and marched with the Qin mission.

Except for a blizzard in the middle and a one-day delay, along the official road, the daily journey is seventy or eighty miles away.

On the eleventh day of the lunar month, it departed from Jining, and arrived at Tongzhou on the twenty-seventh of the lunar month.

Where there is a waterway by land, there are different pavilions every night, and it is not as good as the cabin of the official ship, and everyone is already tired. Shen Qin, who was the weakest in his body, was even more sick and had no energy.

Seeing this, Xu decided to rest in Tongzhou for one night, and also sent someone to deliver a letter to the city.

The tribute car did not stop, and Shen Rui, Shen Jue, and He Taizhi said goodbye to Liu Zhong.

Neither of them made an appointment to meet again next time, but Shen Jue patted his chest and swore that even if he and Shen Rui returned to Songjiang after the New Year, after the township test, they would come to the capital to participate in the Ministry of Rites examination, and everyone would always meet one day.

Although Liu Zhong was reluctant on his face, he didn't say anything more, and went into the city with Young Eunuch Zhang......

Beijing, inside Zhengyang Gate, Shen House.

After reading his wife's handwriting, Shen Cang's expression gradually softened, and he looked at the steward in front of him and said, "Does the wife have anything else to explain?" ”

The steward bowed and said, "Mrs. said that when she returned to the city tomorrow, she would go to He's house first to send Miss Cousin and Young Master Cousin back, and it would be about late afternoon before they arrived at home."

Shen Cang nodded, waved his hand and sent the steward down.

Shen Cang sat down slowly, knowing that the nephews of the clan were about to visit, he should have been happy, but he was also full of sadness.

There was a dead silence in the study, and not only that, but the entire Shilang Mansion was also lifeless.

Although it has been more than 100 days since Shen Luo was gone, every time he thinks about it, Shen Cang's heart is still like a knife.

Shen Luo was born in Shilang Mansion and grew up in Shilang Mansion. When Shen Luo got older, Shen Cang was no longer confused, and he gave up the idea of having children, and taught his nephew to love him like a parent.

Seeing that Shen Luo was a talent, he was about to marry a wife and have children, but he disappeared all of a sudden, making the white-haired person send the black-haired person.

The vitality of Shilang's Mansion also slipped away with Shen Luo's death, leaving only a ball of dead air.

Now that the young people of the Shen clan are coming, will it bring vitality to this mansion?

Shen Cang sighed heavily, stood up, and paced out of the study.

Shilang's Mansion is a five-entry mansion, divided into two roads, the main courtyard is an old house, and the west road is a neighboring house that was bought and expanded to one. Shen Cang and his wife lived in the main courtyard, Shen Zhou and his wife lived in a three-entry courtyard in the southwest, and Shen Run and his wife lived in a two-entry courtyard in the northwest.

The yamen in the capital had been sealed a few years ago and had taken annual leave, so the two Shen Cang brothers were at home.

When passing by the Southwest Courtyard, although Shen Cang slowed down, he did not stop, but went directly to the Northwest Courtyard.

A maidservant had already seen it and hurriedly went inside.

Shen Cang entered the courtyard, and when he walked under the porch, Shen Run had already come out wearing a big coat.

When Shen Cang saw it, he hurriedly walked a few steps, stepped forward and said, "Go back to the house quickly, you have only been a few days, and you have seen the wind and coughed carefully."

Shen Run smiled: "Where is this?"

The third lady served the tea in person, and avoided going out.

"Big brother, is the sister-in-law coming, and she is twenty-seven today? What if you are delayed on the road, my sister-in-law is also old, and it is a cold winter and a month? Shen Run asked with concern on his face.

He is a teenager with his two brothers, and he is only in his early thirties. When the third grandfather and the third old lady died, he was not yet ten years old and was brought up by his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

The reason why the brothers have not been separated is not only because the third master is not in good health, but also because the eldest master and the eldest wife are not at ease; is also because the third master is very attached to his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and he is reluctant to leave.

Because he was sick and weak, he did not continue to play after passing the township examination, and only read and painted at home for fun, and his temperament was quite simple.

The eldest lord smiled and nodded: "The steward who followed me came back to report that he had arrived in Tongzhou, and he would be able to come home tomorrow afternoon...... Your sister-in-law is amazing, not only did she bring Brother Rui back, but also the nephews of each clan brought six or seven people over, so that the family will be more lively in the future. ”

Shen Run snorted lightly and said: "Where is the eldest sister-in-law powerful, it is clearly the second sister-in-law who is powerful, the eldest sister-in-law is worried that she will be angry with Brother Rui, so Fang Duo brought someone back."

The eldest man sighed: "She is also sad because Brother Luo is gone, so there is no need to worry about her." ”

Shen Run frowned and said, "I know that the eldest brother has always loved Brother Luo, but I can't condone the second sister-in-law anymore...... asked to marry Sister Ying, the sister-in-law should not have it back then, or the second sister-in-law wanted to think about the west, and she hired Sister Ying to live or die, and then she made a fuss, which made the sister-in-law embarrassed. The He family and our family are also friends for two lifetimes, and Sister Ying grew up with us, what is this called? These days, too, the sister-in-law came to the family early and asked the family to arrange the yard, but the second sister-in-law only didn't know what to do, and it dragged on for several days. It wasn't until the eldest brother personally interrogated that Fang reluctantly arranged manpower...... Is the second sister-in-law too confused? This is the Shilang Mansion, not the Bachelor's Mansion, is it because Brother Luo is gone, and everyone will have to live by looking at her face in the future......"
