"My nephew Shen Zhou has seen my uncle and asked my uncle to say goodbye." Shen Zhou saw the patriarch's grandfather for the first time, and the two were cousins and nephews who had not come out of five suits, so they knelt on their knees and met each other with a big ceremony.

Looking at Shen Zhou, the patriarch was quite excited.

The capital is two thousand miles away from Songjiang, and for the second room and the second master, the patriarch is still the first time to see it.

He looked at Shen Zhou, and couldn't help but compare him with the third master back then. Unfortunately, the third master was too young when he left his hometown, and compared with the middle-aged Shen Zhou in front of him, there are not many similarities.

Perhaps, Shen Zhou is more like the old lady in the second room back then.

The patriarch thought so, and he couldn't be sure. It's really been too long since the first year of the year, when the third grandfather made trouble, the patriarch was only a teenager, and now more than sixty years have passed.

"Daddy......" Seeing that the patriarch's face was confused, the eldest lord of the sect didn't call out, but hurriedly whispered beside him.

The patriarch came to his senses at this time, nodded and said, "Okay, okay, get up quickly......" Shen Zhou got up and sat on the chair on the right hand side of the patriarch.

The patriarch sighed: "I still remember when I was more than ten years old, I often followed behind your father with the fourth master, and even your generation is not young in a blink of an eye......"

Shen Zhou remembered that when he was a child, he seemed to have heard that his grandfather had a good relationship with the sect and the fourth room, but the fourth room master was not in good health, and it seemed that he died of illness before he was established.

The heirs of the four houses are not numerous, and the ancestors have had a defeated family, and the family is in the middle of the road, Shen Zhou has always thought that Sun Min will marry with a rich dowry, and he will be like a fish in water, where did he think that the Sun family would live so hard.

Thinking of the appearance of the He family's ten-mile red makeup at the entrance of Shenjiafang Street, Shen Zhou felt sarcastic.

The world is here, since the He family can lay out the dowry so rich and decent, it can be seen that the Shen family's four-room employment is also very expensive. Shen Juren used the family wealth saved by his ex-wife to hire his stepwife, but he was cruel and unkind to his relatives, and his character can be seen.

I thought of it again, although the patriarch looked white-haired, he was still alive after all.

There is an old man in the family, and if there is a treasure. There is no one in the generation of the Shen Hai brothers in the sect, but there is the patriarch Taiye in town, and the sect has not been defeated, and when it comes to the grandchildren Shen Ji, he will stand up again.

If his father was still there, the second room would not be like this, and Shen Zhou would also sigh.

Seeing the uncle and nephew sighing at each other, the eldest master of the sect said busily: "Dad, the second brother of Zhou is returning to his hometown, this is a big deal, is the head of each house in the clan getting together to catch the wind for the second brother of Zhou?" ”

The patriarch nodded and said, "That's a natural ......."

There is no need for the sect to arrange for someone to send a letter to each room, and the head of each room has already received the news and knows that the second master of the sect has come to Songjiang to worship his ancestors.

When the stewards of each room went back, they had to tell the party in Beijing and the second master about going south.

But they are in charge, and after the year, they followed Shen Ji to the second room, and they just asked a few masters in the second room to say goodbye and presented a gift list, and no one would tell them who the second room chose to be the heir, and what was the purpose of leaving who to keep.

However, like Shen Bao and Shen Qin, even if there is no channel to send a letter back first, they also let the housekeeper at the head of their house come back with a handwritten letter, which writes in detail the things after entering Beijing, even the dispute between Shen Zhu and Shen Jue has not fallen.

Here in the third room, as soon as Shen Ling came back, she was picked up by the old lady and slipped over.

Seeing Shen Zhu staying in Beijing, the old lady in the third room was faintly happy in his heart, but after listening to Shen Ling's detailed statement, the old man couldn't laugh.

"This ninth brother, he has been hurt for more than ten years, but it is a waste snack at a critical time" After hearing this, the old lady was so angry that she blew her beard and glared, and said hatefully.

Shen Ling sat honestly on the sidelines watching her nose and her nose.

"I didn't say anything, and I didn't find the right person...... Is Zongfang so easy to mess with? He really dared to do it. Don't say that he will not succeed, if Shen Jue really breaks his appearance, his future will not be saved, the two masters of Zongfang are not vegetarians, and I may not be able to protect him......" The more the old lady spoke, the more angry he became.

Shen Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that her great-grandfather's words did not mean to match the sect.

The farce of Buzhuang in the first month made them lose 10,000 taels of silver, and if it weren't for Shen Qi's intention to kill them all, the shop could only be closed. The three of them have been in the capital for five years, and they can't withstand a word of power.

As for the old lady in the third room's previous words, Shen Ling just didn't hear it.

After eating wine a few times before the New Year, Shen Ling, the clan brothers in each room, also came into contact. Shen Ruineng was chosen as the heir by the eldest lord and eldest wife of the second room, and it was not just because the foreign family and the second room had an old relationship. The old lady thinks that it is nothing that the fourth room is a soft persimmon, but Shen Rui is not a soft persimmon.

Shen Zhu dared to calculate Shen Jue what he wanted, and he didn't have the idea of beating Shen Rui, so he couldn't say it because he was afraid in his heart.

"You have to rot in your heart, and you can't ......say it to anyone," the old lady said to Shen Ling with a bluffed face.

Shen Ling hurriedly responded: "That's natural, it's related to the future of Brother Jiu, so naturally I want to cover up this matter...... The father was afraid of leaking the news, so he sent his grandson back to tell the ancestor in person...... It's just about Brother Jue, the elders of the second room will not hide it from the clan, and the eldest brother is in Beijing, and there are clan brothers in each room in Beijing, this matter can be hidden from the outside, I'm afraid it won't be hidden from the clan......"

Shen Qin, Shen Bao and others will not publicize it to the outside world, but they will not hide it from their own families.

The old lady wanted to cover up the matter, but she was just deceiving herself.

The old lady sighed heavily: "The children and grandchildren are all evil, I personally went to the sect to ask for the guilt on behalf of the ninth brother...... I only hope that Brother Jiu can learn a lesson丨Concentrate on studying and start a career as soon as possible...... As long as the sect does not pursue this matter, even if there is gossip among the other houses, it will only be gossip......"

Fortunately, Shen Zhu is staying in Beijing now, and he didn't come back with the second master of the second room, otherwise it would be difficult to hide the matter.

Shen Ling lowered her head and listened, and shook her palms fiercely.

Shen Zhu caused such a catastrophe, making the three rooms offend the two strongest heads of the clan, the old lady here in addition to the initial anger, even did not mention the punishment, the eighty-year-old person actually went to make amends for his great-grandson in person, the most fundamental reason is because Shen Zhu is a talent and is regarded as the future pillar of the third room.

Shen Ling has never been so urgent, and her desire for separation is getting stronger and stronger. Although the third room and the second master are also descendants, the old lady can have a preference for the eldest grandson, and several grandchildren will be divided, and the four grandchildren will never be divided equally, and the big head of the property will be left to the eldest grandson, and the other three grandsons can have a house and a shop.

Shen Yong is in his prime, and after the separation, he can take care of the little industry by himself. At that time, I am afraid that if Shen Ling wants to interfere, his mother-in-law will also guard against him, after all, he is more than ten years older than his younger brother. At that time, even if he is allowed to take care of the housework, it will be a deserted industry, and he will just have free time to study in private.

As for his family affairs, as long as he doesn't mention it, his mother-in-law can't wait for a few years, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the province enters the door to give birth to the eldest grandson, and then she will be severely suppressed in terms of age.

The third room is the old lady pressing a few grandchildren, not allowing the family to be separated, if anyone makes a fuss about the family first, even if he gets his wish after the most reckless, he will definitely bear the name of unfilial piety.

Now that Shen Yong is not in Songjiang, the three rooms are separated, and the second master will not suffer financially, but his reputation is unhindered.

Shen Ling thought about it in her heart and had already made a decision...... The third and third masters and the fourth master were angry early on because the old lady was biased towards the eldest master, and Shen Zhu offended the sect room and the second room, maybe it was an opportunity to separate the family......

Eight rooms, the old lady's room.

Several lords and wives in the seventh and eighth rooms gathered here.

After reading Shen Bao and Shen Qin's family letters, the old lady smiled and said: "Brother Qin and Brother Bao are all good children, the second room and the third master have the heart to teach, and our two heads can appreciate ......"

The old lady was just a little bit of a thought before, thinking that Shen Bao had a simple temperament and was obsessed with calligraphy, so he couldn't say that he could cast the eyes of the second room and the third master. Unexpectedly, Shen Bao did fall into the eyes of the third master, but the third master did not choose him as his heir. However, since the third master is a heart-to-heart teaching, it is only good for Shen Bao.

As for Shen Qin, it is an unexpected joy to be able to enter the door of the second room and the third master, and to have the status of a serious teacher and student with the second room and the third master.

Among the sons of the Shen family in Beijing, except for Shen Lin's dullness, Shen Qin's homework is the worst, if there is no famous teacher to guide him, he may not be able to pass the children's test in the future; Now that the third master is willing to accept him, he will not stop there.

The two masters of the seventh and eighth rooms obviously also thought of this, and their faces were full of joy, as the younger brother of the Shen family's outer house, and the inner four rooms had already come out of the five suits, and they didn't expect their sons to compete for the position of heirs, but now this result is very good, very good.

There is only a big lady in the eighth room, and her heart is quite deficient.

Even Shen Qin, who is not very clever, has the identity of a disciple of the third master in the second room, but Shen Bao has not even competed for a disciple, so he must be obsessed with fat and unpleasant; If it was my own young son who went a year ago, I would not have entered the eyes of several masters in the second room early.

It's just that the old lady and her own master are happy, but Mrs. Liuda just has a few words in her heart, and she doesn't dare to show her face at all, just laughing with her...

If the third room is angry, the seventh and eighth rooms are happy, and the fifth room is shocked.

Although Shen Ying sent a letter back before, mentioning that the heir had decided to return to his hometown with the second master of the second room to worship his ancestors, he did not mention that his second brother would go south with the second master.

Seeing the second son enter the door with the housekeeper, Master Hongda couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Shen Qi had already knelt down: "Dad, my son is back"

He entered Beijing at the end of the eleventh year of Hongji, and now he has been away from home for two and a half years.

Master Hong was startled, hurriedly helped him up, and glared: "Second brother, why did the second brother come back?" Speaking of this, his face was worried: "Didn't you get into trouble in Beijing?" ”

Shen Qi smiled: "My son is the most well-behaved, is he the one who causes trouble?" ”

Seeing that he was smiling as usual, Master Hong's heart was put down, he glared at his son and said, "When I was a child, I saw you naughty, and I changed my way to be angry with your mother...... Hurry up and explain, why do you come back at this time? ”

Next year is the year of the exam, shouldn't Shen Qi be studying hard in the capital at this time to prepare for the exam?

Shen Qi knew that his parents attached the most importance to the homework of his sons, and he didn't dare to directly say that he took the initiative to ask for his life to come back to pick up his parents to go north, and said: "The uncle of the second room and the brother of the six clans read his son's article, and felt that his son was slightly insufficient, and even if he had a chance to end up next year, he didn't approve of his son's death in studying, so he told his son to leave Beijing and go around, and he didn't want to do more good things for his studies after his work outside the books......
