Shen Ying didn't approve of Zongfang's move in her heart, and didn't think that Zongfang would succeed, what she was worried about was that Shen didn't know the severity and tore his face with the elders of the second room, which affected the relationship between Zongfang and the second room. If you really want to oppose the two rooms, the embarrassment will not be the second room in Beijing, but the sect house that is now not high in the officialdom and is not in the green and yellow.

"Passing the word?" Shen originally thought that Shen Ying came forward on behalf of the fifth room and accompanied him to the second room to talk, but he was really disappointed that he didn't get the expected purpose.

Where is the need for someone to speak? There is Li Shi, the chief housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion, and the elders over there should have known his intentions.

Returning.

Even if Shen Ying was concerned about it later, Shen Quan was also enthusiastic, and Grandma Ying and Second Grandma Qi also brought Sister Fu and the younger generation out to meet, Shen couldn't sit still, and came back from the fifth room with an excuse.

"The world is hot and cold, and people's hearts are fickle" Shen was half angry, gritting his teeth.

It seems that the five rooms can't be counted on.

Even if the fifth room has received the favor of the grandfather, people can go to tea and cool down, but Shen Rui, who has a deep relationship with the fifth room, is now in the second room. Even if Shen Ying and Shen Quan are not trying to cling to power, but just for Shen Rui, it is not unusual for them to favor the second room.

What about Shen Li's side? Speaking of which, the relationship with Shen Rui is no less than that of Wufang.

Thinking of this, Shen couldn't help but be discouraged, but he refused to give up if he didn't give it a try. However, they are more or less prepared, and if the clansmen are really unreliable, they will have to think of other ways.

For the clan brothers who came from afar, Shen Li did not hold his own identity and put on the shelf of the Yuan Gong.

Other foreign Beijing officials, for the sake of their relatives and clansmen in their hometown, have some such and such troubles; Shen Li has never encountered it, there is a branch of the sect and a prominent second room, even if occasionally a clansman enters Beijing, it is not Shen Li's turn to face the nine rooms. As for the cousins of the nine rooms who are obedient to Shen Li, because they encroached on Shen Li's industry in the early years, they are afraid of weakness and can't avoid it, where will they take the initiative to send it forward to be an eyesore?

For this reason, Shen Li did not reject the people from his hometown, and it happened that the Hanlin Academy was also idle, so he came back from the yamen in advance on the afternoon of the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, and sent someone to invite Shen's family to come to see him.

Although the two families have already come out of the five suits, but Shen's clan is the main sect of Songjiang Shen, and when the Shen family has not yet divided the clan, Shen Li is also polite to this clan, and asks the Xie family to bring a few children out to meet the uncle of the Shen clan.

Shen was slightly flattered, but because he had prepared well before coming, he brought a table gift, and he was also thoughtful in front of his sister-in-law and juniors.

Shen Li's children returned to Songjiang with their great-parents to keep filial piety, but at that time, the family was mourning and filial piety, and there was little communication, and three or four years had passed. Only Brother Xiaolin, who was already in his teens when he left Songjiang, remembered it clearly, and also responded with kindness, and asked: "Didn't Brother Tong'er go to Beijing with his uncle?" ”

When Shen heard this, he couldn't help but feel novel: "Brother Xiaolin, do you still remember Brother Tong?" ”

Brother Xiaolin nodded and said, "I remember that Brother Xiaotong once took his nephew to play in Shenjiafang, and he also knew many brothers......

For Brother Xiaolin's friendliness, Shen was simply surprised.

Although he was treated like this in the fifth room yesterday, the clan brother did not treat him as an outsider, and let the female relatives bring the younger generation out, but the feelings in the two were different.

Shen couldn't help but feel a sense of hope in his heart.

Shen went to Beijing at this time, and he didn't have to think about it. After seeing each other in two times, Shen Li sent the Xie clan to take the children down and asked, "How are the eldest clan uncles and clan aunts?" Brother Mechanic, are you also thinking about the resumption, but what are the arrangements? ”

Shen followed Shen Li's words, his face was a little heavier, and said: "The specific arrangements for the younger brother are not clear to the eldest brother, before the younger brother first came, my lord and wife were in bed......

Shen Li didn't expect Shen Jue for a while, only when the grandfather died, Shen Ji was worried, and there was someone in the place who was in trouble for the sect, so he frowned and said, "But what difficulties did the family encounter?" Or is there a newcomer in Songjiang officialdom? ”

The newcomer takes office with three fires, if he is a dumbfounded person and uses the Zongfang as a raft, then the Shen family will become a joke

In front of Shen Li, Shen was restrained in the end, and he didn't dare to ask directly in front of Shen Ying, so he only said: "The family is fine, but the news of Brother Jue'er has come back, and my old lady can't stand it......"

Shen Li listened and suddenly realized.

Unlike Shen Ying and Shen Quan's brothers, Shen Li has only met Shen Jue a handful of times, and he basically has no personal friendship because of the big age difference. Shen Jue's death, others mostly pity Shen Jue more, but Shen Li is even more sad for the elders in the second room.

Unfilial piety has three no queens, the second room first loses the only son, and then the heir, how can the elders be embarrassed? Fortunately, there are still Shen Rui and the fourth brother here, and it is no longer the situation of Shan Ding three years ago, otherwise it would not be the third master who fell ill

Now Zongfang has also expressed his sadness, but Shen Jue has been dead for two months, and Shen Li can't empathize.

If you are really reluctant, you will not come out of the country back then; In the past three years, although Shen Jue has spent half of his time outside Beijing, he has not been cared for by Shen Ji, his brother, in Beijing.

Now that he has lost his flesh and blood, it is not interesting to act like this.

Shen Li is only in his thirties, but he has experienced ups and downs when he was a child, and he has seen a lot of the hot and cold world, so he thought of "people's hearts are unpredictable", and looked at Shen with a few explorations.

Shen was not selfish, but he was not weak-hearted, but his voice involuntarily lowered under such a gaze: "My lord is bedridden, he has no wishes, he just wants to be reunited, so he sent his little brother to Beijing......"

Under the banner of the patriarch's serious illness, it was not Shen Youxin who cursed his own son, but the patriarch himself ordered, but he was thinking about whether this request was in line with the rules and wanted to move people with emotion.

It's just that Shen Xiaoshun was evasive in his mouth, and he didn't mention it in front of the big housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion and the Shen Ying brothers.

Right now, under Shen Li's gaze, Shen couldn't stand it a little, so he raised the banner.

Sure enough, Shen Li was a little moved, and his expression hesitated.

Shen only felt that his palms were wet, and although he pretended to be calm, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but look at Shen Li's face.

At this time, Shen Li shook his head and said, "No, even if you are filial, there is no such filial piety, the patriarch should be in the pain of losing his son and losing his mind for a while, so he commanded like this." ”

Shen's face froze immediately, but he still insisted: "No matter what, it is my father's destiny."

Shen Li glanced at him, and said: "This is not such a major event as the rise and fall of your family, it is not a child's play, it is not a sentence of flesh and blood, the contract was made at the beginning, if I remember correctly, there is a sentence in the succession book that 'life and death are not related to this life, this sentence." If Brother Jue is alive, Ling Zunshi is reluctant to flesh and blood, and wants to let Brother Jue return to the sect, and the two families have a discussion; Now that Brother Jue has died, he has to toss it again, which is inevitably eye-catching. Spread outside, with false rumors, our Songjiang Shen clan will follow the right and wrong, and it has become a joke in the mouths of others......"

If it is more serious, it will be used to play on the topic and get it to the court, and it will become an excuse to attack Shen Cang.

There are a number of vacancies in Beijing, and the position of the hall official is even more of a radish and a pit. There are many feudal officials waiting outside to enter Beijing, and they all arrange for their henchmen to watch in Beijing, but whenever they hear the slightest movement, the back hands in Beijing can flock to it. It's that the qualifications of Jingzhong Shilang and Xiao Jiuqing have arrived, just because there is no shortage of promotions, and there are not one or two people waiting for Shang Shuteng's place.

Shen was surprised: "It's more than that, right?" Could it be because of the uncle of the Erfang clan? ”

Shen Li said: "Yes and no. Although there are many Nanguan in Beijing, there are not many Beijing officials in Beijing like Songjiang Shen, and Nanguan has to pay more attention to the Shen family. ”

Shen Li was the champion, but Shen didn't think he would lie to himself, so he couldn't help but say anxiously: "How is this good?" Brother Jue'er is gone, my lord is painful and ashamed, what I can't forget is to take Brother Jue'er back, if it ...... in case"

It is said that one blow and then three times and then exhaustion, and this is not true at all when it comes to Shen.

Since yesterday, he has hit a wall in front of Shen Rui and Shen Ying one after another, and Shen has no bottom in his heart. He originally thought that under the loss of the second room, as long as the sect opened his mouth to "return to the sect", even if he had to pull off the skin, he would eventually get his wish. Even if the reputation is damaged, it is also the damage of the second room and the first room, but it is indeed a fact that the second room did not take care of Shen Jue.

Shen Rui's reaction yesterday, coupled with the fact that he heard Shen Li say the stakes now, Shen was not so sure about the response to the second room.

Shen Li saw that he heard it, so he kindly persuaded him to say two more words: "Although you are filial, but whether this matter is reckless, it is better not to speak." Now that you have arrived in Beijing, you will go to worship Jue Ge'er and return to your hometown as soon as possible...

Shen didn't respond, and his expression was a little dazed.

Shen Li was not familiar with him, so he said what he should say, so he didn't say anything more, and ordered someone to serve tea and soup.

Coming out of the Imperial Mansion, Shen Chao stiffened into the carriage.

It wasn't until he returned to the old mansion of the sect and entered the cross-courtyard where he was temporarily living that Shen woke up, and his face couldn't help but be annoyed.

If you want to say that your father is ashamed and anxious, and for a while he has the idea of taking Brother Jue's return to the sect, then it is himself who fanned the flames and made his father's heart strong.

Now Daddy is all focused on this, and if he disappoints, it will be a second blow. He is also a person who is over the age of six, he has lost his father and son in the past six months, and his body has been damaged by half, where can he be hit again?

When Shen thought of this, he was afraid of it, and he had his heart to death.

Shen sat like this, thinking and thinking, but to no avail. Although when he was angry before, he thought that if his relatives were afraid of the situation of the second room, he would go to ask his cousin He Shilang. Among his three brothers, he is the closest to his uncle's family, and he has a good relationship with Second Master He.

But it's just thinking about it, not to mention whether people with foreign surnames are qualified to meddle in the affairs of the Shen family, let's just say that He Shilang is now in the Criminal Department, and the second room master is just his peak, but he begged for it with a thick face, and He Shilang is willing to offend Shangfeng for his nephew?

This sat until it was getting dark, and when it was time to eat, the little maid came up to ask when the meal would start, and was scolded by Shen. It was the housekeeper of the old mansion who came forward, which also made Shen impatient.

Now that his heart is in turmoil, where does he have the heart to eat?
