Although the dishes of "Bafanglou" are indeed delicious, but in the end they were disturbed by He Nansheng, Shen Rui and Shen Jue walked around the street for a while, and visited two antique calligraphy and painting shops.

However, when he walked to West Street, Shen Rui slowed down with Shen Jue's footsteps.

Compared with East Street, West Street is more densely populated, and there are many shops on both sides of the road, but it is different from the restaurant, silver building, antique shop, silk and satin village on West Street, where the distinguished guests come to the door, and here are concentrated in the public shops of inns, cloth villages, tea houses, and rice shops, which are oriented to ordinary people.

Shen Jue stopped and pointed to a two-story building in front of him: "That store was originally an industry under the name of Aunt Yuan, but now it is under Shen Jin's name." ”

Shen Rui looked up, and called the plaque that said "Huilai Inn", and there was a little second in front of the door to welcome the delivery, and the business looked good.

Shen Rui couldn't help but be surprised, although Shen Juren was not as ignorant of the world as he was three years ago, he didn't seem to be able to take care of the business industry. After taking a closer look, he saw that something was wrong, the plaque was new, but it didn't look like it had a vintage.

"This inn is rented out," Shen Rui said.

In the past few years, Shen Rui has been outside, and the news he can get is either from Shen Quan, or from Shen Jue, and no one really mentions the follow-up of Shen Jin's half-pull industry. Shen Rui only knew that after the distribution of production that year, it seemed that these industries would be taken over by Shen Juren, and he didn't ask about it in the future. Otherwise, in the eyes of others, it seems that he is reluctant to share the half.

Shen Jue nodded and said, "I heard that Uncle Yuan had been holding on for two and a half years, and he couldn't hold on until this summer, so he followed Aunt Hong's method to end a few businesses and rent out those shops." The one who took over the inn was the person with the third room. ”

Three years ago, in the four-room cemetery Yang Mansion, Shen Rui and Shen Jin followed the orders of the Sun family and divided the properties under the name of the Sun family by catching the castration method, Shen Rui named a grange of 20 hectares, two cotton fields of 18 hectares, a silk and satin workshop, a grocery store, and a three-entry house; Shen Jin's name is a 40-hectare grange, an inn, a rice shop, a cloth village, and a second house.

Shen Jue didn't talk about this plainly, but yesterday he saw that Sifang didn't even prepare a carriage for Shen Rui, and he was unhappy, and after going home, he complained to the patriarch about Zhang Lao'an's unkindness. As a result, I learned that the current situation of Sifang is not good, and in the past few years, Shen Juren has helped Shen Jin take care of that industry, not to mention that he has not made any money, and he has lost a lot. Many people in the clan are not used to looking at Shen Juren, and they are all waiting to see him laugh.

I don't know what the third room of Lu Dao said, Shen Juren actually "laughed and feuded" with them, and rented several storefronts under Shen Jin's name to the third room. The three-room still opens an inn, a rice shop, etc., and only changes the signboard and gives the four-room rent.

"I asked my grandfather carefully, Uncle Yuan has not only lost money in the past few years, but he was also chased by the third and ninth rooms three years ago, and he has no money in his hands, but you have saved money at the aunt in the fifth room, and he is careful to ask for money from you. If you really want to open your mouth, can you still give it as a son," Shen Jue said.

Where to find a reason, this is Zhang Luo to remarry, isn't it a big deal that needs to spend money.

The name of the silver who asked his son to marry his wife is not good, but Shen Juren's reputation is already rotten, and he still cares about this

Shen Rui was a little puzzled and said: "You can think of this, why can't Aunt Hong think of it, why don't you tell me?"

Shen Jue snorted lightly and said, "When adults do things, they just think a lot. Aunt Hong helps you take care of the industry, and there are many suspicions. If she mentions Shen Jin's half-pull property to you, it will be like provoking your father, son and brothers. Wufang has always been cautious, where would he fall into such a tongue, but Aunt Hong is an understanding person, and she really cares about you, so she should be on guard. If you don't say it, most of you are afraid that if you guess wrong, it will affect the relationship between your father and son. ”

Hearing Shen Jue say this, Shen Rui remembered one thing.

Before Shen Li went to Beijing in October, he went to Xilin Zen Temple with the eldest lord and eldest wife of the fifth room to see Shen Rui, only saying that he had returned to Beijing, needed to buy property in Beijing, and wanted to be filial to officialdom, and the money in his hand was insufficient, and he wanted to borrow the silver money in Shen Rui's name and pay it back within three years.

The property under Shen Rui's name, the rent of the two shops and the house is limited, only three or four hundred taels a year, the cotton field and Zhuangzi are the big heads, and the wind and rain are good, and there are more than 2,000 taels of silver a year. In the past three years, Guo has saved more than 8,000 taels of silver in his hands.

Shen Li wants to use silver, and Shen Rui has nothing to say. Shen Li carefully wrote an IOU, with Shen Hong and Zen Master Hong Shan as the Chinese, and borrowed 8,000 taels of silver from Shen Rui.

Shen Rui didn't think about it so much, because Shen Li was a Hanlin official, a Qingshui Yamen, and he was born in the Nine Houses, so he didn't have any ancestral property. Even if the Xie family has a dowry, it is not easy for a big man to use his daughter-in-law's dowry when he encounters a major event of buying a house and property. Shen Lithis

He has protected him a lot over the years, and he is also a brother and a brother, and he is very happy to be able to talk to him.

The capital is not easy, and it is well prepared. Otherwise, adults can bear it, how can a few children be good. Even if there is a pavilion old mansion, the children of the Shen family have no reason to rely on the Yue family.

The silver money in Guo's hand that belonged to Shen Rui's name was only about five hundred taels at that time. Shen Rui sent someone to take three hundred taels from Guo's place, and before Shen Li left, he sent it to make a road instrument. When Shen Rui returned home after the expiration of his filial piety, the broken silver sent by Guo was also two hundred taels, and the account was almost empty.

The income from the cotton fields and Zhuangzi is sent before the Double Ninth Festival, and only the rent of the shop will be paid at the end of the year for next year. In this way, before the Double Ninth Festival next year, Guo's account will only be a few hundred taels of silver for rent at most.

Shen Rui suddenly realized that he was stupid for a while. Did Shen Li really borrow the silver, or did he act with the Guo family in order to prevent Shen Juren from asking for silver

Shen Rui and Shen Juren are father and son, they can beware of Shen Juren, Shen Rui is a son of man, but he shouldn't think about this. Otherwise, people will know that no one will find fault with Shen Juren's greed, but will only say that Shen Rui is not filial and stingy.

Shen house, old people's house, wing room.

Fourth Sister Zhang stood at the door and looked up at the upper room through the crack in the door. When Sister Zhang saw it, she frowned and said, "Do it for a long time, let people see it carefully."

"Sister, my aunt and grandmother quarreled with my cousin, and the maid sent out, I don't know why" Fourth Sister Zhang was a little excited, and said in a low voice.

Zhang Sanjie put down the shed in her hand, rubbed her wrist and said, "Why don't you do anything about us, why bother about this?"

Fourth Sister Zhang's eyes rolled and said, "I can't just wait in vain, I'll listen to it." ”

Third Sister Zhang frowned and said, "Don't go, let people know that it's another lawsuit!"

Fourth Sister Zhang said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, I just went to the back of the house to look for the cat, and I didn't mean to listen to it." ”

In the upper room, the mother-in-law and the maid-in-law all went out, only Zhang Lao'an and Shen Juren, mother and son, were there.

Zhang Juren sat on a chair, his face gloomy, and he could wring the water.

Zhang Lao'an gasped, glared and said: "Brother Rui is a bastard and is not sensible, and Brother Jin is also following suit, you are an old man, don't say scolding back, and take people down loudly, but there is still an old woman like me in your eyes"

"It's all my maids, why can't they serve my master, so they have to send it to Brother Jin Rui" Shen Juren snorted coldly: "I am still a mother and only 'value' Brother Rui, so I trained my maid to serve in the past, but I didn't expect that even Brother Jin was not left behind." The son is confused, what do Anren want to see Brother Jin indulge in women, and the township test is not at ease"

Zhang Laoan was so angry that his eyes turned black for a while, and he said angrily: "Could it be that your father, son and brother are all close, the only old woman and brother Jin are my heart and liver, how can the old woman harm him." He will be eighteen years old in the next year, and he will go to Nanjing to memorize the exam. Nanjing is even a small child outside him, who knows if there are around him to hook him not to learn well. In order to keep filial piety for the Sun family, he has not even had a person in the house in the past few years, how can I not worry about the easy adjustment of two well-behaved directors to be the room man with him, but just to prevent him from being led to eat out. was afraid that the old woman would be picked on for partiality, so Fang also gave Brother Rui two. That winter moon was used last night, and if you want to stay, you can stay, and there are three left, so you should hurry up and send them to the side courtyard!"

Shen Juren sneered: "I just care about my grandson, I don't have anyone on the side who says that the mother and son are connected, and Anren is acting now, and even his son has to hide it, so that even if they get to the front yard, don't forget to get close to the two sisters of the Zhang family, and now put the words here, whether it is the third sister Zhang or the fourth sister Zhang, if you want to enter my Shen family, there is no door, even if you are a concubine!" Whether An Ren is the Zhang family or the wife of the Shen family, what do you want to ruin the future of my Shen family, not to mention Brother Rui, he is still young, and it is too early to say that he is a relative; Just said Brother Jin, if there is a cousin as a concubine, then what good people will want to pull the Zhang family with their daughter Xu Ta'an, but the son can't control it, and wants to ruin my son's future, I will not allow it!"

Zhang Laoan's calculations were exposed, his face was red and white, and he said with a bluffed face: "Listen to the cheap chewing her tongue, rotten heart, hook up with the gentlemen, don't say it, and pull the two innocent sisters in, you don't say a lesson, but believe these nonsense, what does it look like You are not a hairy boy, you are old, when you take care of your body, the fragrant and smelly are pulled to the bed, it is really ridiculous, and the son is also taking care of some decency when it is time to say goodbye." Speaking of the most reluctant, the appearance of the serious speech also added confidence Shen Juren has passed the age of not being confused, and was reprimanded by his biological mother for being "lustful", and he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and "Teng" got up suddenly: "How can I not take care of the loss of the decent family business, and there is no place to reason, but I use a few maids to relieve my boredom, but I call Anren to talk!" When I take the two in the East Chamber, it's not too late for Anren to say that it's ridiculous!" After that, he flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Zhang Laoan was so angry that he trembled, waiting for Shen Juren's back: "This bastard thing, this bastard thing, when I am dead, I dare to say ......"

Under the north window, Fourth Sister Zhang was holding a cat in her hand, with frost on her face, and stood for a while, Fang Chang sighed, tiptoed to the front yard, glanced at the maid standing at the gate of the courtyard, and turned back to the east wing......
