The Xu family has a resolute temperament and is not willing to rely on others, but only for the sake of their sons and nephews, and has only eased up with the clan in recent years. △ ↗ Top Novel, o Among the people of the Shen family, the only ones who can enter the eyes of the Xu family are the family of the fifth room and Shen Li. Especially Shen Li, who has always regarded Shen Rui as his brother and brother, and the Xu family is also willing to Shen Rui's multiple protections, only to know that the Xie family is a little left-handed, and he is not far away from Shen Li's family.

It's just that he can't think about himself in the world, and now that Shen Li is unwilling to get involved in clan affairs, it will not be good for Shen Rui to get old and trouble Shen Li in the future. It's not that Shen Li will be bad to Shen Rui, but that he will compare his heart with his heart, and he should also consider Shen Li.

Shen Rui is involved in the second and fourth rooms behind his back, and he is friendly with the fifth room, even for Shen Rui's sake, Shen Li will not ignore these rooms. Not to mention anything else, it was what happened to the third room this time, if it weren't for the fourth room involved, the candidate to enter Beijing was Shen Ling, who was with the second master of the second room, and Shen Li would not happily accept it.

Needless to say, the second room is not to mention, the fourth room is either a biological relative, and the fifth room has a deep origin, and Shen Rui will not be alienated here. Could it really be that Shen Rui was allowed to alienate Shen Li? Otherwise, there will be no shortage of times when Shen Li is embarrassed in the future.

For a moment, Xu hesitated.

Shen Rui didn't think so much, and only said to the Xu family: "I'll go to the sixth brother's house in a while to listen to the reaction of the He family." Second Brother Ling only said that the sixth brother and the He family had said it properly, and he didn't know what the proper method was."

This also involves the fourth room, even if Shen Rui is not close, it is not easy to hang high.

Xu Shi diǎn diǎn head said: "It's to ask the question, and this time it's also biased towards him." He has always loved to hide good ink, I remember that there was half a box of rosin ink in the small storeroom, or I brought it from home back then, and the old man also said that it was good, and he was not willing to make it, so it was just right to take a few pieces. ”

Shen Rui responded, and Xu personally took Shen Rui to the small warehouse.

The Shen family has two warehouses, which are divided into inner warehouses and outer warehouses, the outer warehouses are things handed down from the ancestors or the public, and the small warehouses are the dowries and private rooms of the Xu family.

The small warehouse is in the courtyard of the Xu family, it is a three-square, two-eared and five-room inverted seat room, Xu and Shen Rui are now going to the west one, and the wall inside is a multi-treasure shelf to dǐng, and there are various brocade boxes on the shelf, because of the old lady Sun, there is no shortage of overseas treasures. Because in the past two years, I have chosen a part to go out to do the dowry of the Yang family and Sister Yu's dowry, and a small half of the shelves on this side are vacant, and the number of surplus is still extraordinary.

On the ground were two or three chests, all of which were gold and silver ingots.

said that it was half a box, but it was only eight pieces, and the Xu family took it out, handed it to Shen Rui and said, "Send half of it, and you can share the remaining four pieces with your third uncle." ”

Shen Rui took it, Xu Shi looked around, sighed, and said, "Everything is a good thing, but when something really happens, it is not as convenient as gold and silver. Although he is a benevolent monarch today, he has not been in the dynasty for a month, and tomorrow the pilgrimage will be canceled."

Later generations said that "gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times", but in fact, gold is always gold, and antiques may not be the case. With the status of the Shen family, taking antiques to a pawnshop and antique shop can be exchanged for gold, and ordinary people are holding antiques that is a life-chasing rope.

The cunning rabbit knows the three caves, not to mention that people are the chief of all spirits?

As early as when Shen Cang was recuperating from his illness, he took Shen Rui to the ancestral land of the Shen family to hide gold in the name of seeing the blessed land. It's useless to be a subordinate, it's two three-foot deep pits dug by Shen Rui with a spade, and 1,000 taels of gold are buried in each place, this is the back hand of the second room, but it is not the last killer feature. The last killer feature is Shen Cang's longevity material, there is a layer of splint at the bottom layer, and a layer of gold cake is also hidden inside, because the longevity material is made of hardwood, and its own weight is heavy, which adds more than 100 catties and no one notices that something is wrong.

Hiding gold in the coffin is the tradition of the second room, and when the grandfather died, it was concocted in this way. Taking this as a backhand, it is not to encourage unscrupulous descendants to dig graves after losing their families, but because of the danger of officialdom, if there is really a day when the family is raided and the family is wiped out, by moving the remains of the ancestors and returning to their hometowns, they can also have the foundation of turning over after taking the Tibetan gold. However, in order to prevent the leakage of news, only each generation of masters knows about it, the previous generation is Shen Cang, this generation is Shen Rui, and even the Xu family does not know about it.

There is something Xu said, that is, when encountering a great change in the relationship between life and death, wealth and wealth. The Ming Dynasty has been peaceful for decades, and the succession of the throne is inherited by father and son, and there is no rebellion to seize the heir, but once the son of heaven and a courtier, although the Shen family is powerless to play, they must be careful of the disaster of the pond fish.

Shen Rui knew the history of Zhengde and Jiajing, and knew that in the next few decades, the imperial court would either be eunuchs or civil and official party disputes, and chaos would be rampant, but he didn't want the Xu family to be too worried, and comforted: "Although the second uncle is in Nanjing, he is better than the Qing Dynasty, and the third uncle is not conspicuous here, but there are occasional turmoil in the imperial court, and there are teachers and Uncle Yang."

Xu shook his head and said: "It's better to ask for others than for yourself, and you have to stand up by yourself to be truly at ease." Before you stand up, it's better to be careful at home."

Shen Rui didn't like to show off, so he responded solemnly.

In the evening, Shen Rui went to Shen Li's house.

Shen Li hadn't come back yet, Shen Rui was led to the living room, and saw that Shen Jin was also there.

"Second Brother Rui." When Shen Jin saw Shen Rui, he stood up with a little joy on his face.

Shen Rui saw that he was wearing an official uniform, obviously coming directly from the yamen, and said with some surprise: "Sixth brother, why didn't you come back with Brother Jin?" ”

"The brothers of the six clans were going to come back with me, but the East Palace sent the ministers to summon each other, and the brothers of the six clans went into the palace, let me come over and wait first." Shen Jin replied.

Well-informed people in the capital know that the current prince is favored by the queen, and the temperament is lively, a little childish, and the East Palace occasionally summons the vassals of the James Mansion, but it is just a whim, and there is nothing serious about asking about the news of eating and drinking in the market.

After all, Shen Rui hadn't seen Brother Shou for a few months, and his heart couldn't help but move, and said: "I heard the third uncle say a few days ago that the Dragon Boat Festival is exempt from the court, and the emperor's dragon body is not healed, isn't the East Palace now serving in front of the emperor?" ”

Shen Jin said with a smile: "The emperor is a loving father, and he is afraid that he will be sick to the prince, so he only allows the prince to ask for peace through the curtain. The crown prince is also filial, knowing that the emperor is also concerned about his studies when he is sick, these days are extremely hard, this time to summon the six clan brothers into the palace, it is estimated that it is also a matter of schoolwork."

Even if you know that Brother Shou grew up in the palace, it is not as harmless as it appears, but after two or three years, there are some true feelings in it. Hearing that Brother Shou was willing to take the initiative to study, Shen Rui was also quite pleased.

Shen Jin didn't know that Shen Ling and Shen Zhu brothers had left Beijing, and seeing that the two of them hadn't come yet, he hesitated and said, "Second brother Ling and the two of them haven't come out yet, aren't they?" It's all this time, are you going to Uncle Hong's house? ”

Shen Rui talked about Shen Zhu's departure from Beijing and Shen Ling's subsequent chase.

Shen Jin was dumbfounded when he heard this, and after a while, Fang sighed and said, "I really didn't expect Shen Zhu to be so ignorant, it's just that Second Brother Ling is innocent and bothered to bother Baal, but he is not a human being inside and out."

Shen Rui said: "I just hope that Shen Zhu will not make any more extraneous branches, and the second brother Ling is also pitiful."

Before the words fell, I heard someone at the door snort coldly: "What is the pitiful? If you want to please everywhere, you don't have to ask if you have such a big face? ”

It was Shen Li who came back, Shen Rui and Shen Jin hurriedly stood up, and Shen Rui said, "Sixth brother."

Seeing that Shen Rui was embarrassed and Shen Jin was also suspicious, Shen Li shook his head and said, "Stupid, think about it carefully, and talk for a while." After that, he went to the inner courtyard to change his clothes.

Shen Rui and Shen Jin looked at each other and were speechless for a while.

"I saw that the six clan brothers treated Second Brother Ling well, how could I listen to these words not only dissatisfied with Shen Zhu, but even Second Brother Ling is also wrong, Second Brother Rui knows why." Shen Jin said in a low voice.

Shen Rui frowned: "I don't know." It's not like anger."

Shen Jin hesitated: "Brother of the Sixth Clan is a square person, and he may not look down on the sleek and sophisticated Second Brother Ling."

Shen Rui shook his head, Shen Li is square on the outside and round on the inside, and he is not pedantic, otherwise even if he is born as a champion and backed by the elder of the pavilion, he will not be able to survive to his current position in more than ten years.

Shen Jin was puzzled, and Shen Rui remembered Shen Li's words and realized a little. Shen Ling's face is because he relies on the second room and the second master, and Shen Li is not selling the face of the third room, but the face of the second room. Although the matter has been resolved, seeing that Shen Ling does not want to return to the second room, but does her best to the affairs of the third room, Shen Li's good impression of Shen Ling has come to an end. Shen Ling's entry into Beijing this time can be said to be more than worth the loss.

After a cup of tea, Shen Li changed into half-new homely clothes, and said the business first: "I will go to He Shilang and say, no matter what the He family was thinking before, he always has to weigh it, and once the movement is in Beijing, there is no possibility of regaining property." It's just that the debt is repaid, and it is justified, the silver always has to be repaid, but the chase is not so tight, and the third room is slowly made up. As for the four-room master's side, how to appease it still needs Brother Jin to go to the He family to discuss. ”

Even if He Nansheng, the second master of the He family, knows how to operate again, he has limited knowledge in the end, he only sees that the Shen family does not have a scholar, and the rest of the people are the highest four grades, which is not as good as He Shilang, and the new patriarch is not more respected than the patriarch's grandfather at the time, and the relationship between the clansmen in each room is cold, so he dares to calculate the three and four rooms of the Shen family like this, but he doesn't want to think that even if Shen Li does not come forward, the champion of the fourth room eats white rice?

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has the most important qualifications, and most of those who can enter the cabinet are from Sandingjia. Even if Shen Jin is just a little Hanlin now, but with his age here, the twenty-year-old champion has more potential than the forty-year-old champion entering the cabinet. Not to mention that Li Ge Lao's importance to Shen Jin is now well known, and the news that Li Ge Lao wants to summon his grandson's son-in-law is not a secret among the Li Party.

If Shen Li doesn't come forward this time, He Dongsheng won't tear his face with the Shen family for money, wouldn't that be a loss of this "nephew"? Originally, because of He Seventeen's matter, he was pinched by the Shen family, and the two families were in a stalemate, He Nansheng forced the Shen family like this and sought to seize the Shen family's property, after He Donghe found out, in addition to cursing his brother for being short-sighted, he was also worried that the Shen family's dog would jump off the wall in a hurry.

Therefore, after Shen Li came forward to make peace, He Dongsheng also responded happily. Just to let Shen Jin remember this favor, he didn't have a big package, so he had to put the four rooms of the Shen family out again.

Because of He Seventeen's matter, Shen Jin had a deep prejudice against He Dongsheng, and when he heard that he was going to He's house, he was restless for a while.

When Shen Li saw it, he couldn't help frowning: "Speaking of the He family or the serious in-laws of the fourth room, why are you so afraid?" ”

Shen Jin couldn't say that He Dongsheng wanted to harm his brother's selfishness, so he only sneered: "He Shilang is quite prestigious."

Shen Li only felt that Shen Jin was not serious, but he had no intention of teaching, so he only said to Shen Rui: "You can figure it out."

Shen Rui said: "I understand a little. No matter what the elders of the third room ordered, Second Brother Ling didn't refuse, he just took it up, this is not something he can do."

Shen Li diǎndiǎn head, Zhengse said: "It's not stupid at all." Tens of thousands of arrears of silver, pledged land deeds, such a catastrophe, if Sanfang is really afraid, how can he only send two boys to Beijing? It's just a matter of face, knowing that the clan will not stand by. What is Shen Ling, who dares to take a look at this matter? He just knew that for the sake of Second Uncle Zhou, he could talk in Beijing and sell in front of his elders. He looked honest before, but people's greed was raised by a diǎndiǎn. Now he still seems to be humble and humble, but he acts as if he is used to making up his mind. Go back and tell the eldest uncle, send someone to Nanjing to have a look, the second uncle of Zhou is not familiar with things, and he is also a square person, if people are fooled, it is a trivial matter to lose money, and if there is a carelessness in the official face, it is a big disaster."
