If you are a real Ming person, you will be known by an "outsider" that your elders are selfish, and if you don't show anything on your face, you will feel uncomfortable in your heart; Shen Rui is not an ancient, even if he has the idea of "hiding for the Venerable" in his heart, but in his heart, the Qiao family, who only has the title of elder, is not within the scope of this "Venerable".

Shen Yan observed his words and looks, and saw that Shen Rui was not embarrassed and jealous.

Although there was Qiao's family causing chaos at this time, Shen Yan still felt that it was not good to delay any longer, so he pointed at Shen and said, "I will bring my brother over today to sacrifice Shen Jue......"

The two brothers were wearing plain clothes, and even if they didn't say it, Shen Rui could know their intentions.

For the two brothers' private sacrifice to Shen Jue, Shen Rui felt a little annoyed at first, but thinking that they didn't rely on being "in-laws", they followed Master Qiao San to Shangshu Mansion, which was also interesting, so he nodded and said: "Brother Jue doesn't have many old friends in the capital, Mr. Shen and Brother Ling can come over to see each other, and I thank the two ...... on behalf of the second brother."

Shen Yan sighed and said, "Even if Hengyun doesn't go out of the city today, I will take my brother to find Hengyun in two days......

Shen Rui was a little surprised: "What is the matter with Mr. Shen?" ”

Even though Shen Rui and Shen Yan brothers met half a year ago, they didn't feel that they had a relationship with each other

Shen stood beside him, his face pale and a look of pain on his face.

Shen Yan said: "When Shen Jue died, his younger brother was also sick. When he recovers from his illness and returns to the academy, he will be dead or alive when he gets the news of Shen Jue...... I inquired, only to know that before Shen Jue fell ill, the two of them were in the same place......"

Although Shen Rui was younger than himself, Shen Yan had never underestimated Shen Rui.

Even if he was talking about the past, Shen Yan did not favor Shen in his words, but told the story calmly without a position, and told the truth what his younger brother said to him. Shen left the academy, Shen Jue followed, waited until it snowed, the two braved the snow to return to the academy, and at night Shen lingered for several days due to the cold and high heat, and none of them fell.

just told him with Shen that Shen Yan also added a "preface", refusing to marry Tian Shanchang, and "designing" to let his younger brother hear the death of the matter.

Speaking of the worst of the worst, Shen Yan said with guilt on his face: "Although it is a mistake, but in the end, it is my fault, I should have come to the door to ask for guilt." ”

Shen Rui is not a saint, if you want to say that because of this, it is impossible to be angry at all.

However, he was still sane, and he also knew that Shen Jue was fifteen years old, and his feet grew on his legs. If he doesn't want to go with him, no one will force him.

Shen felt guilty because of this, and was obviously a person with a clear conscience. Shen Yan told the truth about this, but he was afraid that Shen Rui would anger his younger brother after hearing about it, so he took the responsibility on himself.

The cold is just the trigger, and Shen Jue's death can indeed be called "yin and yang".

If you talk about cause and effect, there is indeed a brother Shen Yan in this, but are the people who ignore Shen Jue in Shangshu Mansion innocent?

In almost the same time, two different teenagers had a cold and high fever, and Shen Shang, who was from a small family, was cared for by his mother and brother, and was found to be sick for the first time and survived; Shen Jue was in the Shangshu Mansion in the courtyard of the deep house, but he carried it alone until he died.

Compared with Shen Yan, the elder brother, Shen Rui felt that he was unqualified.

He lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "Brother Jue has already left, and it doesn't mean much to talk about who is right and who is wrong at this time."

Shen Yan saw that Shen Rui had no intention of looking for a back account, and he was secretly relieved in his heart; Shen was full of surprise, looked at his brother in disbelief, and after a while, his face was full of defeat, and he drooped his head.

Several people stopped talking, and the lights "crackled", and they heard the noise from the east room.

Shen Rui was instructed by his elders to come over to "take care" of Qiao's family, so he paced to the middle hall.

I heard Zhou's mother whispering slowly: "Now that the second wife is awake, why don't you let the doctor take the pulse?" The old man and the wife were worried about the second wife, so Fang sent the second young master to bring the doctor over......"

"Worried about me? Do you hate me for not dying? If I don't breathe for a day, they won't feel at ease, and they have to kill me," Qiao's throat was sharp.

"Oh, second wife, you can't say that...... Mrs. has a generous temperament, how she has treated the second wife over the years, everyone is watching, but it is not a sentence or two that can erase the good ......" Zhou's mother is a close friend of the Xu family, so she can't listen to this slanderous words, so she is busy.

"Huh? Good for me? Is it for my good not to let He keep his chastity and let my son have no one to serve the incense? Is it good for me to stuff a short-lived heir into me? Is it good for me to stop me from hurting my nephew? Hide it from me, and take Sun's son into Beijing is it good for me? The more Qiao Shi spoke, the more excited he became, and when he said the most, he already looked like crazy.

In addition to Zhou's mother and the servant women and maids in the house, there are also doctors who accompanied them.

The doctor's parents, although this doctor has no good impression of Qiao's second wife of the Shen family, he is also "looking" after entering the house.

Seeing that Qiao's eyes were white and red, and the green tendons between the hideous were exposed, the doctor couldn't help frowning and was about to say something, when he saw Qiao's eyes roll and fainted.

Zhou's mother was startled, but in the end, she was an old man, and she knew the urgency of the situation, so she hurriedly beckoned the doctor to come forward to see her.

Shen Rui heard something wrong outside, and also picked up the curtain and came in.

Qiao's face was pale and he was lying on the kang.

The doctor examined it and frowned.

After finishing the pulse, the doctor said a bunch of words, which means that Qiao's qi and blood are lost, the seven emotions are depressed, and he should recuperate, and he is most afraid of being happy and angry.

It's already night, and even if the doctor prescribes a prescription, there is no place to grab medicine. Fortunately, the previous village doctor left two packets of herbs, and the doctor rummaged through them, looking for a simple prescription that could be used.

The courtyard of Zhang Gui's house is a triple courtyard, where Zhang Gui's family of nine lives, in addition to the eldest son and eldest wife, the second son and second wife, as well as the three sons and daughters who are not married, and the half-year-old grandson of the long house.

Compared with the people of Zhuanghu, Zhang Gui's blue brick house is quite elegant and decent, and the living room is also spacious; Today, the main family and distinguished guests came to the house, and the courtyard of the Zhang family was full all of a sudden.

Not only do you need to go to the room to vacate to entertain the main family and guests, but the doctor who came with Shen Rui and the people in charge of the Shangshu Mansion also need to be accommodated.

Zhang Gui asked his children to let out the three rooms in the east chamber, one to ask the doctor to rest, and two for the servants of the Shen family to settle.

Longevity and longevity are coming.

Seeing that when she saw the meal, Zhou's mother had not yet come out of the upper room, so Changshou looked for Zhang Gui and said: "Uncle Zhang, the second young master is in a hurry when he comes out, and he hasn't had ......dinner yet."

Zhang Gui rubbed his hands and said: "Longevity brother, my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have already been hot in the kitchen with their daughter-in-law...... Today's food is ready-made, but I am afraid that the second young master and the nobles will dislike it......"

The kitchen is in the main room, and the smell of meat and coriander is wafting out.

Changshou thought about it a little, and then knew the reason, and said: "These are for other people, the second young master, most of them can't take care of the rice now, find a clean pot, boil a pot of porridge and wait......"

"That Master Shen and Shen Xianggong?" Zhang Gui hesitated.

Those two are friends with their second son, and they are also with the second son, if they slack off, they will lose the face of the Shen family. Although there are a lot of big meat dishes on the removed sacrificial table, in the end, it is leftovers, and the servants of the Shen family can deal with it here, and it is disrespectful to entertain foreign guests.

Changshou also thought of this, so he said: "Then boil more porridge and prepare two simple side dishes." ”

Zhang Gui responded.

Changshou said again: "I came out in a hurry, and I didn't bring my son's luggage over, so I asked Uncle Zhang to help Zhang Luo." ”

Zhang Gui hurriedly said: "Longevity brother, don't worry, there are a few new bedding at home, don't dare to snub the second young master."

Although the daughter of the Zhang family has not yet left the cabinet, she has already said that the wedding date is set in Layue, and now the dowry has been prepared. Even if he lived a long time and didn't open his mouth, Zhang Gui didn't dare to give his old bedding to Shen Rui, and he had already planned to use his daughter's dowry first.

Changshou said: "Just bother Uncle Zhang, Mrs. loves the second young master the most, and she won't let Uncle Zhang contribute in vain...

Zhang Gui hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's all what Xiao Lao'er should be." We are usually far away from the second young master, and we can't be filial if we want to. ”

There are three places in the Shen Family Sacrifice Village, the smallest of which is burdensome and cumbersome. Shen Cang and Xu did not arrange for others, but just found a generous Zhang Gui to take charge. Zhang Gui really lived up to Shen Cang and Xu's weight, not only looked at Gu's cemetery, but also never used his hands and feet in the harvest of the sacrificial village, he was a rare honest person.

The Xu family reciprocated the favor, not only rewarded with more silver, but also arranged for the second son of Shen Gui's family to go to the shop as an apprentice, and the third son was a scholar next to the third master, and he had to be used in the future.

Zhang Gui's family is not ostentatious when they are rewarded with reuse, and they still live like ordinary people, but they are actually richer than ordinary people.

Among the servants of the Shen family, Zhang Gui is considered to be a few stewards, but his longevity is only the long-term entourage of the young master, and there is no reason for him to reward Zhang Gui, but it is still possible to say a few good words for Zhang Gui when the Xu family talks back.

Zhang Gui naturally knows this, and he is very polite to longevity.

The night is getting darker.

The Shen family's entourage was hungry, the young master didn't speak, and no one dared to beg for food, so Changshou went into the main room to find Shen Rui.

Shen Rui sat in the hall, and talked to the doctor about the second wife's illness.

"Stroke" is a stroke, and if there is a sign of stroke, it must be difficult to move, but this is not a good place.

The doctor said: "If you want to move, you have to wait until the second wife wakes up and looks about the same; Otherwise, it's better not to move. ”

Shen Rui nodded, and when he saw Changshou coming in, he ordered Changshou to take the doctor down to settle down.

After Changshou turned back, he talked about dinner, and Shen Rui heard that he had arranged it properly, so he said, "Doctor Chen, let's also serve porridge there, and tell me about the crime......

Longevity responded, and the arrangements were not mentioned.

There are three rooms in the north room, Shen Rui is talking in the hall, and movement is heard in the east and west rooms.

Dongwu Zhou's mother thought that the second wife was a sign of "stroke", and she couldn't gloat, so she only worried. Qiao's fault, it is not innocent to send it to Zhuangzi for "recuperation"; But if she has a "stroke", she should not recuperate outside, otherwise she will look mean to the old man and his wife.

Westinghouse Shen frowned, Qiao's has done so many bad things, shouldn't he be "evil will be rewarded"? Now that no one has been held accountable for her, she has fallen, is she just escaping?

Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

This Qiao Shi was crazy and crazy before, thinking deeply, and now there is a sign of a stroke, so he should not be able to get up. That's fine, if Shangshu Mansion settles the accounts, and Second Master Shen really divorces his wife, it will not only affect Qiao's family, but also Xiao Qiao's family.

Even if Xiao Qiao's family is the daughter of the Qiao family, now that she has entered the Shen family and become her wife, Shen Yan is also willing to protect her......

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

There was a cough from the Dongnuan Pavilion, and several officials standing at the door were a little worried.

There are 10,000 officials in the imperial city, and the most proud are these people in front of the emperor. Even if it is just an inner servant who serves outside the door, he is more decent than people in other places.

This dignity is all given by the emperor.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the emperor is in his prime, but his body has gradually weakened in the past two years, if it were not for this, the emperor, who hated the monks and Taoists in the past, would not have summoned the Taoist priests to the palace under the pretext of the empress dowager and the empress dowager.

Buddhism cultivates the afterlife, which is vain for emperors who are eager for longevity; What Taoism seeks is immortality in this world, which is in line with the emperor's mind.

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, the emperor took a pill, and the cough in his throat finally lightened a lot.

"Although Brother Shou learned the rules well, he hated the rules the most in his bones, but now he can do all the road sacrifices, but he has grown up......" The emperor stopped coughing and said.

There was a red-clothed waiter standing next to him, and said: "Your Highness is smart when you are young, and the emperor teaches by word and deed, and he treats people well." ”

There is no one who does not like to listen to the good words of his children, and the emperor's expression became more and more gentle, and said: "I didn't ban Brother Shou from leaving the palace last year, just thinking that the children outside are all studying...... Now that he is close to the guards of the East Palace, it may not be a good thing to go on like this......"
