Although the eldest lady of the sect promised in front of Shen that she would be good and not interfere in today's affairs, when she returned to the room, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. She was not afraid of the situation in the second room, afraid that Shen Rui would hold a grudge because of this, but that Shen Jue would dislike her brother Shen Xin.

Even though they are now brothers in name, it is the three of them who are in the blood of compatriots in this world. Shen Jue is young and young, whether he studies or becomes an official in the future, is it all up to the elders in the second room? Even if the two masters in the second room are now in high power, they are also old people. Ten or twenty years later, what Shen Jue can rely on is still the brother of the sect.

Thinking like this, Mrs. Zongfang couldn't sit still.

"Brother Wujue, is it still over the master?" Mrs. Zongfang called a housekeeper and asked

After hearing that Shen Rui was coming, Shen Jue went to the guest room, and the eldest lady of the sect stood up.

After walking a few steps, she stopped again and ordered: "Go and invite Brother Jue over, just say that I have something to ask for."

The mother-in-law answered, and went out of the main room, slandering her wife's cruelty in her heart. Young Master Jue returned to Songjiang for more than half a month, and lived in the sect room for more than ten days, but his wife was able to endure it, except in front of people, he didn't see him in private.

Who can be so ruthless?

Now "have something to ask for"? Don't be the second brother's business, if you find Young Master Jue for that, then Young Master Jue is really pitiful

The woman sighed in her heart and went to the guest room.

Shen Jue and Shen Rui sat under the tree eating tea and talking, and left the room to tell the servants to pack their luggage.

The woman took a few steps faster, stepped forward to bless her body, and said with a smile: "I've seen Young Master Rui, Young Master Jue, our eldest wife has something to ask Young Master Jue to come over and talk......"

When Shen Jue heard this, he was not happy, but frowned and said, "I don't know what the uncle commands?" ”

"The old slave doesn't know." The woman forced a smile.

Shen Jue's brows furrowed even tighter, his face hesitated, and he looked back at Shen Rui and said, "Second brother? ”

Shen Rui waved his hand and said, "What else are you rubbing?" Since it is the aunt's order, you will go over once, and let the elders wait......"

Shen Jue reluctantly got up, and said with a little impatience: "Mom, let's go......"

That mother-in-law usually served in front of the eldest lady of the sect, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with Shen Jue's attitude. You must know that the eldest wife suffered a big crime due to dystocia back then, and she didn't want to see her young son, even if she lived under the same roof, she couldn't see it, and she turned a blind eye to it, and the relationship between mother and son was really weak. On the contrary, it is the eldest master of the sect, who pities his young son, and is both a father and a mother, and the relationship between father and son is very deep.

Shen Rui watched Shen Jue follow his mother-in-law out of the guest house, and then raised the teacup, but he felt tasteless.

In today's world, etiquette is important, if Shen Jue blindly gets close to the clan and is an heir, it will be easy to be criticized; But if you really cut off your flesh and blood, it would be too cruel for a teenager

No matter why the seemingly shrewd Shen committed something stupid, the eldest master of the sect was sincere to Shen Jue, and hoped that the eldest lady of the sect could also show a little motherly heart on the occasion of parting, so as not to hurt Shen Jue's heart.

In the upper room, Mrs. Zongfang stood in front of the window, and her heart couldn't help but beat faster.

The flesh and blood of her longing are right in front of her, how can she not want to these days? But she didn't dare to recruit each other in private, she really couldn't stand her biological son's mouthful of "aunts", and she didn't know how to face her young son.

Seeing that the mother-in-law entered the courtyard, followed by a figure in plain clothes, Mrs. Zongfang couldn't help but be at a loss, and hurriedly turned around and sat back on the couch.

"Go and get ......" Mrs. Zongfang couldn't bear her excitement, and opened her mouth to instruct the maids around her, but she couldn't say any more after saying a few words.

Shen Ji likes to eat lotus root with clear tea, Shen likes to eat white sugar cake and group tea, and even Brother Xiaodong likes to eat osmanthus nest silk candy and bitter tea, she remembers it really well, but she doesn't know what the taste of the young son is.

Mrs. Zongfang was depressed and couldn't talk anymore.

At this time, the mother-in-law has arrived.

Shen Jue didn't follow up directly, but stood under the corridor and waited, and the mother-in-law came in first and said, "Madam, Young Master Jue has arrived......"

"Young Master Jue" Mrs. Zongfang chewed a few words in her mouth, and her heart seemed to be soaked in Coptis water. Yes, her son is now the young master in the next room, and he is no longer a member of the sect.

Seeing that her expression was wrong, and she didn't give orders for a while, the mother-in-law reminded in a low voice: "Madam, Young Master Jue is waiting outside." ”

Mrs. Zongfang came to her senses and said busily: "Please come in."

The mother-in-law answered, picked up the curtain and went out, and invited Shen Jue in.

Even though Shen Jue was a little impatient in front of Shen Rui, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, and he also faintly had some expectations.

However, because of the cold face of Mrs. Zongfang for many years, the relationship between mother and son is really unfamiliar, even if he has more nostalgia for his biological mother, he can't make the kind of envious appearance in front of his father.

"I've seen it...... Uncle Niang ......" Shen Jue suppressed the excitement in his heart and bowed down.

Hearing the word "uncle", Mrs. Zongfang only felt that her heart was like a knife, staring at the young man in front of her, and she was speechless in pain.

Shen Jue was stared at for a while, and finally couldn't help but raise his head and look at the eldest lady of the sect.

The eldest lady of the sect had already taken a step to look away and looked at the screen on Shen Jue's side, and the eyes of the mother and son were staggered.

In this funeral, the Zongfang family was affected, and the eldest lady of the Zongfang also saw a lot of reduction. She is also in her fifties, even if her hair is combed neatly and her figure is like a mountain, the fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and the scattered gray hair on her temples cannot cover it.

Brother Xiaodong has reached the age of talking about marriage, and in a few years, Mrs. Zongfang will be the person who will be a great-grandmother.

Shen Jue lowered his head, only feeling stuffy in his chest.

No matter how much he envied Shen Rui in his heart, he felt that parents like Shen Cang and Xu were so enlightened and good, and he never disliked his biological parents.

But they were the ones who abandoned him first......

Mrs. Zongfang pinched her palms vigorously to calm herself down.

She looked at Shen Jue lovingly, squeezed out a little smile and said, "Brother Jue, sit down and talk......

Shen Jue sat down in response, but he lowered his head and stared at the terrazzo bricks under his feet.

He's going to leave tomorrow morning, and he's going to go back to Songjiang for a long time, and he's not sure when he'll be able to go back to Songjiang, what is Mrs. going to say? Shen Jue was inexplicably a little more shy and a little nervous.

I listened to Mrs. Zongfang's words: "Brother Jue, Mother Yang was ordered by me, you misunderstood your second brother......"

Shen Jue only felt that this sentence was very ethereal, and he couldn't help but blur when he thought about it, which one is Mother Yang? When did you misunderstand your second brother?

"It's because I can't bear you, I want to leave your childhood old things as a memory......" Mrs. Zongfang continued: "I couldn't pull my face to talk to you directly, so I ordered Mother Yang to take it quietly." I don't want that old thing to be confused, and turn over to Brother Rui's box......"

After a while, Shen Jue's gaze changed from confusion to clarity, he raised his head and looked at the old woman sitting on the Luohan couch, feeling both strange and familiar.

The eldest lady of the sect was uncomfortable by Shen Jue, and coughed lightly: "The master is confused, so he blames your second brother, don't misunderstand your second brother...... Brother Rui, if I'm really annoyed, I'll make amends, is it because I didn't teach my subordinates strictly......"

Shen Jue's expression turned to Mu Ran, isn't it common for him to be so motherly?

When the eldest brother and the second brother had any mistakes and were punished by the grandfather and the master, the eldest wife acted like this, blaming herself for the faults of the two sons, and turning the big things into small things and small things.

Such a motherly heart is still the same as always.

No matter how inappropriate Shen's actions were, what bad intentions were behind this; No matter how angry she was at being despised and treated slowly by her servants, the only thing that this loving mother wanted to protect was her second son, which was her habit.

Seeing Shen Jue's ugly expression, Mrs. Zongfang only felt that her throat was tight: "Brother Jue......"

The corners of Shen Jue's mouth turned up, and he smiled brightly: "I didn't know until today that my aunt was reluctant to let me ......

Mrs. Zongfang's face was flushed, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Jue......"

Shen Jue had already stood up and knelt down straight in front of the eldest lady of the sect like a candle.

Mrs. Zongfang was startled, hurriedly stood up, and stepped forward to help Shen Jue up: "What is this doing?" ”

Shen Jue's face was clear, he pushed away the arm of the eldest lady of the sect, and kowtowed respectfully to the eldest lady of the sect.

The forehead hit the ground, and there was a loud sound, "bang bang bang".

Mrs. Zongfang only felt that her whole body was soft, and the tip of her heart trembled, looking at Shen Jue's forehead and red eyes.

Shen Jue raised his head, his forehead was bruised, but his face was full of relaxation, and said, "Uncle Niang is old, how can she be worried because of her little nephew?" Those thoughts, forget it. If you occasionally remember your little nephew, your aunt will say that you have to rely on disgust, eat less than a bowl of rice, and forget it completely, but it is worry-free. In the future, the eldest brother and the second brother will be under the knees, and the aunt will live a long life, honor and happiness......"

One "uncle", Mrs. Zongfang only felt that her heart was dripping blood.

The handsome young man in front of him had a bright smile, but he said the most ruthless and mean words in the world, which made the eldest lady of the sect a little panicked.

Who's this? Is it her son?

Looking at the ghost look on the face of the eldest lady of the sect, her eyes were unfamiliar and wary, Shen Jue did not feel sad, but wanted to laugh.

"Ha Lu Ha"

He didn't restrain himself, and just let himself laugh.

The eldest lady of the sect turned pale and took two steps back.

Shen Jue glanced at the eldest lady of the sect, got up without hesitation, and walked out of the upper room with a smile

The mother-in-law and maid who were waiting outside the door were all surprised when they saw Shen Jue with such a look.

Shouldn't this parting of flesh and blood be sad with tears? What kind of happy thing is this, Young Master Jue is smiling happily? You must know that Young Master Lu Daojue returned to Songjiang because of the funeral of his grandfather, but he never showed a trace of a smile.

In the upper room, the eldest lady of the sect sat on the Luohan couch, tears welling up.

In the evening, although the brothers who were close to each other gathered in the fifth room, sat at two tables, and practiced for Shen Rui, Shen Quan, Shen Jue and others, but because it was in the patriarch's 100-day filial piety, even if everyone else was not obedient, but with Shen Jue, everyone saved wine.

In this way, there was more restraint and less excitement, but it was a non-stop dinner.

Before Shen Jue came out in the afternoon, he instructed the little maid to pack all the luggage on the side of the sect, so after having dinner in the fifth room, he stayed in the guest room with Shen Rui directly.

Seeing this, Shen Quan couldn't help but worry, and quietly pulled Shen Rui aside and said, "Go to the dock early tomorrow morning, don't you need to persuade Brother Jue to go back and live there?" ”

Shen Rui shook his head and said, "Before I came over, Brother Jue had already gone with me to say goodbye to Uncle Tonghai and the two clan brothers...

Shen Quan sighed and said, "I guess I'm afraid that I won't be reluctant to leave tomorrow morning, but I'll be bitter for Brother Jue......"

Shen Rui did not inform Shen Quan of the accident in the Zongfang room, nor did he have the intention to publicize it. However, thinking that Shen Jue had seen the Empress Dowager Zongfang in the afternoon, with a bruised forehead and frost on her face, she knew that her disappointment had failed, and the eldest lady of Zongfang must have made Shen Jue sad again.

Although Shen Rui is an outsider, he is still dissatisfied with the elders of the sect.

Now I can only think about it, Shen Jue has experienced this experience, and when he returns to the capital, he can feel a little less homesick, and he no longer has to worry about missing Songjiang......
