Master Hongda himself is a lifter, so he naturally knows that the career of the imperial examination is not so easy.

The county test, the government test, the hospital test, the township test, the meeting test, and the palace test, a total of six levels, the more difficult it is to go forward.

is Shen Ying, whose reading qualifications are already good, and she has also landed a subject in the exam. Shen Qi's qualifications are already much worse than those of his eldest brother, and he was already lucky when he passed the township test, and it is common for him to try to learn a few more subjects.

Therefore, Master Hong nodded and said: "What your uncle Cang and the six clan brothers said is that reading is important, but you can't read like a nerd who doesn't know the world." ”

The father and son were talking, Guo had already got the news in the backyard, and he didn't care about waiting for his son to pass, so he hurried to the front yard.

Like her husband, the moment she saw her son, Guo was not overjoyed.

Shen Qi's words can deceive Master Hong, this is called "a gentleman deceives him", Guo is a woman, and a mother who cares about her three sons wholeheartedly, Shen Qi's set of rhetoric, but he can't hide it from Guo.

It's just that when his son is older, he has traveled thousands of miles to return home, and in front of Master Hongda, Guo's family did not reveal the matter.

After all, Shen Qi's smiling face was here, if something big really happened in Beijing, he wouldn't be so relaxed.

Guo listened to him with a smile and heard the news from Beijing, and the most important thing was not Shen Quan's admission to the famous academy, but the addition of Shen Qi's eldest son by the second grandmother Jiang on the sixteenth day of the first month.

Shen Qi is in his twenties, and the husband and wife have been married for several years, Jiang has never been pregnant, and Guo and Master Hong were quite worried before

Now that they heard the news, both husband and wife were only happy.

Although at the age of Shen Qi and Jiang's, even if this baby is a daughter, it is nothing to bloom first and then bear fruit; may be a man in one fell swoop, in the end, it is a good thing, and Jiang is also more down-to-earth.

Jiang was raised by the prefect's wife, and she was a woman with a good temper and conduct, and Guo really loved this daughter-in-law. She was young, her parents died, and her fate was tortuous, thanks to the upbringing of Zhuang, the wife of Jiang Zhifu, and the matchmaker of Sun, she was able to marry into a quiet family like the Shen family's fifth room.

When their husband and wife nodded their heads to inquire about this family affair before, there were still many people in the clan who said that the Jiang family was hard, the dowry was not rich, and so on, and ridiculed Wufang's move to befriend the Jiang prefect.

What about today? Jiang Zhifu's promotion is imminent, Jiang Zhifu's younger brother has a smooth career in Beijing, and Shen Qi's wife family has these two elders, and when he enters the office, he will have one more arm to help.

If he had chosen a wife for Shen Qi from among the wealthy families in Songjiang, the dowry would have been more, but there was no shortage of silver in the five rooms.

There are losses and gains, and nothing more.

Where in the world is there anything perfect?

Thinking of this, Guo's gratitude to Sun was three points more.

No one was optimistic about this family affair at the beginning, even if the Sun family pulled the strings, the Guo family hesitated in his heart. Or did Sun make it clear that since the Shen family's fifth room wants their children to study, and several children are angry, the relationship in the officialdom is more valuable than real money.

In addition to the second son Tian Ding, Guo Shiding is concerned about Shen Rui's succession.

Shen Qi told all the young people about their performance after arriving in Beijing, Shen Rui did not shine, but there was nothing wrong with it. His teacher was not an ordinary person, but the son of Cheng Huanian's champion, imperial teacher, and waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

"My eldest brother and I guessed that the eldest uncle and aunt in the second room would choose Brother Rui, and sure enough, it was true." Shen Qi said.

Guo Shi frowned and said: "I asked Shen Quan to bring you a message before, asking you to inquire about the origin of Brother Rui's foreign family and the second room, can you inquire clearly?" ”

Shen Qi nodded and said: "After all these years, it's really hard to inquire, fortunately, the eldest brother has a family born in the same year in the family of the eunuch in Beijing, and is in the same workshop with the old house of the second room, and he also has a friendship with the two families of the second room. When the second uncle's grandfather was alive, he had a friend surnamed a grandson, who was originally from the south, and later moved to Beijing, and bought a house in the west of the Shen family. Mrs. Sun lost his wife, and he was the only one who came to the old woman, because he was afraid that no one would raise him, so he was raised in the second room and raised by his uncle and grandmother. That should be Aunt Yuan......"

When Guo and Master Hongda heard this, they were all stunned.

Where is the origin of this, this is a deep origin.

No wonder the eldest wife of the second room was married, and there were no female elders in the Sun family. Although she was young at the time, she was only in her twenties, but because she was the eldest daughter-in-law, she was different from ordinary shy little women.

It's just such a relationship, why hide it?

Although Sun had a good name during his lifetime, his life was not comfortable, and he also suffered a lot of anger from the mother and son of the fourth room. The reason why I endured it silently was just because there was no successor in my mother's family. With such a backer as the second room, what can be hidden?

Guo Shi felt that it was very wrong, and Master Hong also noticed that it was unusual, and asked, "The Sun family has always been good friends with the second room?" There is no time for evil

Shen Qi shook his head and said: "I haven't heard of this, the grandfather of the Sun family died outside, and the housekeeper helped the soul to enter Beijing, and the blessed land was with his uncle and grandfather, and it was a funeral in the temple back then." Because Uncle Cang and Uncle Niang acted as filial sons and filial women, many people talked about it, and some people remembered this old incident back then......"

Guo and her husband looked at each other and were extremely shocked.

It seems that the second room and the third master really had an ordinary friendship with the grandson back then, and letting the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law be filial sons and daughters is not something that ordinary people can do.

Since it is such a friendship, for the Sun family, the only daughter of the grandson, why didn't the third grandfather marry her to Beijing, but married her far away to Songjiang

Guo Shi was careful and asked, "In addition to these, have you also heard about the side?" What year did the second master of the second room become a parent? What kind of family is the Yue family? ”

Shen Qi looked at Guo Shi in surprise and said, "Mother also thought of this?" My eldest brother and I also said in private that with the friendship between my uncle and grandfather and Mrs. Sun, in order to take care of Aunt Yuan, the most appropriate way is to become in-laws, and the two families have become a family...... Uncle Cang had already married a wife back then, and the third uncle was still young, but the second uncle of Zhou was only one year older than Aunt Yuan, and he was a childhood sweetheart. ”

Guo frowned and said: "I heard that the second wife of the second room and the second master are close to each other, so it is not difficult to guess." Even if the third lady had the heart to take care of the daughter of an old friend, the Sun family was a businessman, and I heard that the third old lady was the daughter of a high family, so she must have looked down on the Sun family and did something else

Shen Qi thought for a while and said: "Maybe let my mother guess correctly, the eldest brother also mentioned one thing in the same year, that is, Second Uncle Zhou was in a hurry to get married, and he was separated after getting married...... It wasn't until my grandfather died and my grandmother fell ill that the couple moved back to the old house to serve the sick, and they didn't move out of the house again......

Guo Shi snorted coldly: "No wonder your Uncle Yuan covered up this matter, with her heart, if it weren't for Brother Rui, I would not ask for a second room even if I died......

Master Hong has always had a good temper, and when he saw that his wife was angry, he hurriedly persuaded: "No matter what happened back then, now that Sister-in-law Yuan has been gone for a few years, her anger is also white." Whether this is true or not, it is difficult to uncover it. ”

Guo sighed and said: "If the old thing was really like this, then Brother Rui will also be in trouble in the future, but I am glad that the second master of the second room has separated from the eldest master, although they live together, they are two families in the end......"

Although it has been 30 years, there are always traces of what happened back then. The second master of the second room still didn't know what to do, he just stepped into Songjiang, and the five-room family of three had already pieced together the old things.

Mr. and Mrs. Hongda are close to the Sun family, and they naturally have prejudices about the second room and the second master.

However, after receiving the invitation from the Zongfang, I knew that the Zongfang would hold a banquet for Shen Zhou that night, and the husband and wife still went......

Shen Juren will be married tomorrow, and the wedding shed has been set up on this day.

After seeing the housekeeper and Hao's mother who came back from the capital, and knowing that Shen Rui was selected as the heir of the second room, only one word flashed in Shen Juren's mind, "Double Happiness is coming".

He didn't approve of Zhang Lao'an's utilitarianism before, and felt that his son-in-law's succession would damage his family's face, but Shen Rui was not in the past few months, and he occasionally imagined what Shen Rui would do if he had a second heir.

The second room is a small long room, the eldest man is a waiter, and the Xu family is the daughter of the prime minister, unless Shen Rui is stupid and stupid, otherwise the future will be soaring

He is the biological father, and Shen Jin is Shen Rui's biological brother, and it seems that a flat avenue that goes straight to the green clouds has also appeared in front of the four rooms.

Some people might ridicule him for it, but so what?

Looking at the eldest lady of the second room who returned to Beijing last year, and each room willingly sent her sons and grandsons over, I knew that everyone was worried about the position of the heir of the second room.

It's just that Shen Rui is the son of his grandson after all, and Shen Juren can't show too much joy, otherwise he will fall into the eyes of others, and it will seem that he is unkind as a father.

Compared with his joy, Zhang Laoan was annoyed.

"What? It turned out to be the heir of the little long house? Zhang Laoanren listened to Hao's mother's "good news", and did not feel happy at all, but turned pale with anger: "Isn't Shen Jue here?" How could Xiao Changfang choose Shen Rui? ”

Hao's mother was obviously stunned by Zhang Laoanren's reaction, this old lady was confused? Didn't she look forward to taking her grandson out of the country before, but now why did she change her mind?

"On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month of the year, everyone arrived in Beijing, and the next day the eldest young master of the sect took Young Master Rui over, and the eldest young master of the fifth room picked up the whole young master, and the champion also wanted to take the second brother over, but the eldest master and the eldest lady of the second room did not let ...... Since the second brother was beaten, the eldest lord and the eldest lady over there have attached great importance to the second brother......" Hao's mother pondered and replied.

"How can the old man and the big lady over there be like this? Let Shen Rui be the son of a small sect, how dare they? Zhang Laoan said to himself: "Don't they know the identity of the Sun family? ”

Hao's mother heard the profound meaning of this, and her ears were stunned.

In the past few months with Shen Rui, she can see that Shen Rui is really benevolent and does not deliberately accept that.

The four-room Zhang Lao'an people are already old and confused, and Shen Juren is becoming more and more ridiculous, she would rather "be in Cao Ying's heart in Han" and be Shen Rui's eyes and ears in Songjiang.

Zhang Lao'an only said this sentence, and then stopped talking, but his expression was very entangled, as if he couldn't understand something......
