Volume 1: Who Have Seen Again, Chapter 330: Be Kind to Others (5)
Shen Qin was exposed, and "Ha Lu Ha" laughed twice and stopped talking.
Shen Bao said to Shen Rui: "I haven't had time to say hello to Brother Rui before, Brother Rui is really amazing, I passed the children's exam last year, and I and Second Brother Qin also participated in the hospital exam this year, but they are not on the list." Among the clan brothers, only one of the third brothers is on the list this year......"
He said this without much frustration on his face.
There are many scholars in Nanzhili, and the imperial examination is not easy, even the famous talented Confucians have fallen into the first place, and their brothers are here, and the first two times are nothing.
"It's also a matter of luck. The ones who tried to end in the real academy were all with ink in their stomachs, and the rest depended on luck...... Brother Jue has prepared enough this year, but he has no choice but to wait for the next subject for a few deviations from the examiner. Shen Rui said.
Shen Bao nodded and said, "Third Brother Quan said the same thing. Fortunately, the third brother Quan had good luck this year and passed the hospital examination smoothly......"
Hearing them mention the imperial examination, Shen Qin couldn't help but say: "If you want to talk about luck, who can compare to Shen Yan and Shen?" I can't imagine that the two brothers are now a master and the other is a showman...... During the township test the year before last, there were five or six clan uncles and clan brothers, but the results were not successful, but Shen Yan's scenery was on the list...... At the age of nineteen, he is proud of a teenager wherever he talks. There is also Shen, who passed the children's test last year and is only sixteen, if he returns to Songjiang, it will be hot. That is to say, the uncle of the second room is now in a high position, and the clan elders dare not make trouble, and it is not one or two ...... who are talking about letting them return to the sect."
Shen Bao glanced at Shen Qin and said, "Brother Rui is here in front of you, can Second Brother Qin envy others?" Rego was only fourteen last year."
Shen Qin looked at Shen Rui straight for a while, and sighed, "If Brother Bao hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about this again." Brother Rui looks taller than me now, and some people believe it when he says that he is seventeen or eight, but he has really forgotten his age. ”
When Shen Rui heard this, he couldn't help laughing, touched his face and said, "I...... Is this looking a little anxious?
Shen Qin nodded, and shook his head again: "It's not about looks, it's just about this bearing." When I came back the year before last, the gap was not that big, but now I haven't seen him for two years, and Brother Rui has no childishness at all......"
Shen Bao said: "Brother Rui already has a fame, and he has taken the word, so he is not a child"
While they were talking, they saw one of them approaching.
It's Shen Jin here.
The few people left in front of him were all close to Shen Rui, so they naturally looked at Shen Jin unpleasantly.
But Shen Jin is here at his age, in the end, he is a clan brother, everyone is still you pushing me, I am pushing you, and reluctantly got up to say hello: "Brother Jin"
Shen Rui also got up with everyone.
Shen Jin nodded to everyone, and said with a little embarrassment: "I have something to find Brother Rui, and I disturbed your talk......
No one answered, and the scene was a little cold.
Shen Jin's expression was a little gloomy and he glanced at Shen Rui.
Shen Rui said to everyone: "Brothers, brothers, brothers, let's talk first, and Brother Jin and I will go around." ”
Everyone naturally had no objections, and Shen Rui walked out with Shen Jin.
"The patriarch's funeral is coming, do you still have to live in the sect's house? Looking for the Mid-Autumn Festival? Shen Jin asked directly.
Shen Rui shook his head and said: "I want to go to Aunt Hong's side to live for a few days, and tomorrow I will go to the eldest master of the same sect and say, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will go north with the third brother." ”
Shen Jin hesitated: "Where is the mother?" ”
"I was also looking for Brother Jin to talk about this, and I wanted to arrange it before the Mid-Autumn Festival." Shen Ruidao.
Shen Jin nodded and said, "Second Brother Rui will send someone to tell me when the date is set, and I will accompany Second Brother Rui."
Although Shen Jin wanted to take Shen Rui back to the fourth room for a two-day reunion, he could only rest his mind when he thought of Zhang Laoanren.
The fifth room and the fourth room live next to each other, and when Shen Rui goes to the fifth room, it will be cheaper for him to visit.
Shen Rui also thought of Zhang Lao'an, and said: "Look at the people around Lao'an, they can't do without people, but Brother Jin needs to go to Nanjing next year to take the township test, but how to settle it?" ”
Although there are many servants in the four rooms, there is no reason to leave the paralyzed grandmother to go to the exam alone, so if it is rumored, Shen Jin's virtue will be questioned.
Shen Jin smiled bitterly: "I once wrote to my father to ask about this, and my father said that he had his own arrangements, but there was no follow-up. Now there is still a year to go, and I can't ask too much. ”
Looking at Shen Jin's pale face, thinking about his situation, Shen Rui said: "The most important thing at the moment is the township test, and the others can be left behind." If you are distracted by others and delay the exam, the gains outweigh the losses. ”
No matter how the elders of the fourth room toss, let Shen Jin gain fame first, so no matter how they toss, there is also Shen Jin in front of them. Otherwise, looking at Shen Jin's mental state, the aura would be almost dispersed after a few years of hard work.
This is also another interpretation of "Dead Friends Don't Die Poor", in the final analysis, it is because Shen Rui is afraid of trouble
But when it fell into Shen Jin's ears, it was full of concern.
Shen Jin was full of gratitude, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Well, I think so too, I will definitely not be distracted by the township test...... I'm still looking forward to going to Beijing as soon as possible......"
Next, there is the unfinished word.
When you enter Beijing, you can reunite with Zheng's mother and son, you can get along with Shen Rui's brothers, and you can support yourself from Zhang Laoanren's endless complaints and insults.
As long as he thought about it, Shen Jin was full of hope.
Not far away, Shen Qin pulled Shen Bao and was paying attention to Shen Rui's side.
He couldn't get used to Shen Jin, and he was afraid that Shen Rui would be bullied, so he pulled Shen Bao over, and he heard the conversation between the two brothers.
Seeing that the two brothers couldn't fight, Shen Qin felt bored and pulled Shen Bao away.
Shen Qin said in a low voice: "It's still Brother Rui's kindness, such a person, why bother thinking about him?" ”
Shen Bao said a fair word: "What happened back then, Brother Jin couldn't be the master again, but he just went with the flow, and he has already suffered." ”
Everyone has a scale in their hearts, although Shen Jin has now won his mother's inheritance and has become a registered son-in-law, but no one in the clan knows his background. Even if he thought that although he was a concubine, he also studied and competed, now most of them will think that he was a traitor in his heart back then.
seems to be "fame and fortune", but it is a "mirage", otherwise it would not be picked on when talking about relatives.
Shen Qin sneered and said, "This is the ...... that God has eyes If he is beautiful, then where can he be reasonable? Now that he looks innocent, he is really innocent? If I were Brother Rui, I wouldn't have persuaded him so kindly to take the imperial examination, saying that I wouldn't curse him every day for being unsatisfactory. ”
Shen Bao hurriedly said: "Everyone has a hard time, it's not easy to say, Brother Rui is not annoyed, what is Second Brother Qin doing with Bai Qi?" Brother Rui is now in Beijing, not much stronger than in Sifang? Even so, it's not interesting to look into the past. ”
"It's better that good and evil are rewarded, otherwise will this God tell us to be good people, or be evil?" Shen Qin snorted lightly: "If we are wicked, we will not bear it in our hearts; To be a good person, but I am afraid that good people will not be rewarded, is it not embarrassing for people? Shen Jin is like this, and there are people like Uncle Sanfang, they are all chewing the blood and bones of their relatives, and they are innocent......
Shen Bao was silent for a while, and said: "Others are others, let's act according to our conscience...
There was no word for a night, and the next day everyone returned to the city with the funeral procession, and they dispersed.
The brothers Shen and Shen Quan did not leave, and followed Shen Rui and Shen Jue to the Zongfang, and made it clear to the master of the Zongfang that they wanted to take Shen Rui and Shen Jue over to live.
Shen Rui had already taken the first step to follow the elder of the sect, but the eldest lord of the sect did not stop him, not only Shen Rui's side, but also Shen Jue's side.
After the patriarch's funeral, it was a long period of filial piety. Shen Rui and Shen Jue continue to be here, it will be somewhat not cheap.
Wufang is not an outsider, if you really want to talk about closeness, Shen Rui is closer to that side; As for Shen Jue, after all, he has already been released, and the patriarch's affairs are over, so it is impossible to say that he should continue to stay in the sect and keep filial piety when his cousin Shen Rui is preparing to return to Beijing.
"The master left a thought for Brother Jue, let's move over today......" The eldest master of the sect took out a bunch of keys from his personal pocket, glanced at Shen Jue, who was in a trance, and handed it to Shen Rui and said: "Brother Rui is the elder brother, so I will ask Brother Rui to help collect it." ”
There are already words that "the elders give it, and it cannot be resigned", not to mention that it is still the "bequest" of the patriarch's grandfather, Shen Rui naturally took it with both hands.
The second master of the sect, the third brother, and the fourth brother are all here, and Shen Ji and Shen are also here.
Seeing that Shen Rui took the key, the third brother and the fourth brother were a little anxious, it was not a key, it was a bunch of keys, a key and a box, and there were enough five or six boxes.
It's all grandchildren, and it's unfair to be unfair? Except for the eldest grandson Shen Ji, who received two boxes of bequests, the others were just one person with one box, and how many times did it even increase when it came to Shen Jue?
Without waiting for the fourth brother to look at the third brother, the third brother just wanted to get up, but was glared at by the second master of the sect and shrank back.
Looking at the bunch of keys, Shen Ji couldn't help frowning, and Shen's expression was a little stiff.
Even if it is a close relative, it can be rich and touching.
The Zongfang industry is not expensive, but the big head is the sacrificial field, the sacrificial property, only the Zongzi lineage, the second master was divided into a family, but he got two Zhuangzi and a shop, and his life was only a medium family; In the same way, even if the long house is separated later, the property that can fall into Shen's hands is limited.
They stared at the patriarch's gifts, partly because of money, and partly because of the injustice in their hearts
What the second master thinks is that he is the grandson of the grandfather, and his grandson is the grandson of the grandfather.
Shen is because he has been by his father's side all these years, taking care of the chores, serving and respecting his relatives, even if he does not ask for the preference of his relatives and elders, he should treat his eldest grandson and younger grandson equally.
Shen Rui held the key, and he noticed the dark tide surging out of the hall.
However, since it is what the patriarch pointed out to Shen Jue, it is Shen Jue's, even if there are people in the sect who are unhappy, don't think about taking it back.
At this time, the master of the sect had already ordered someone to bring the boxes over, all of which were rosewood boxes three feet long, two feet wide, and two feet high, and there were six of them. It looks like there is a vintage, all of them are brass locks.
Shen Jue didn't look at the other side of the box, he just looked at the eldest master of the sect room blankly, and Mu Ran's expression was full of longing and admiration.
Looking at such a young son, the eldest master of the sect felt that his heart was about to break.
But he is not a fool, and he knows the gossip born for the "bequest" of the patriarch's grandfather. He not only hated the short-sightedness of the second master and his nephews, but also felt sorry for his young son.
If the youngest son does not succeed, even if the patriarch is partial to his grandson and gives all his private houses to Shen Jue, others will not be able to say anything; Now he can be picked by his relatives, but he is just caught with the words "bad name, bad words".
It's a pity that the elders of the second room still care about the kindness of flesh and blood, and they don't stop Shen Jue from walking around here; On the side of the sect, in the future, a few people who don't know what the box contains, they will treat their relatives as outsiders.
The eldest master of the sect was angry and annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't watch it become suspicious for the sake of suspicion
Therefore, the eldest master of the sect said: "Brother Rui, open the box, let our children and grandchildren also see the thoughts left by the grandfather again......
The second master, the third brother, the fourth brother and others all looked at Shen Rui when they heard the words.
Shen Rui couldn't help frowning, but didn't answer, but looked at Shen Jue. Even if he is young, the key is now in his hands, and if Shen Jue is unwilling, no one will be able to open the box in front of him.
Shen Jue realized it later, and finally noticed a few boxes in the living room.
He stood up suddenly, walked over to the box, rubbed it, and muttered, "This ...... This is the box in the Westhouse......"
He has been raised in the patriarch's yard since he was a child, and he is familiar with the objects in his grandfather's room.
When the third brother and the fourth brother heard this, their eyes couldn't help but shine, and they hesitated a little?
Since it is a box in the master's house, it is specified as a good thing, is it really cheap Shen Jue?
The fists in Shen's cuffs were clenched tightly, and his heart couldn't be calm. Zongfang Shen Machinery is out of office, and he will not return to Songjiang before he is Zhishi, and the person who will take over the patriarch in the future of Zongfang may not be Shen Machine, but he Shen.
Is the patriarch really old and confused? I can't see this, and I only care about my young grandson?
As the second son of the long house, he can't make much money, and even the elders of the floating wealth don't think of themselves?
Since the Zongfang industry is Shen Machinery in the future, what is his hard work for more than ten years? Do you really want to be like a few Shen Yong in the third room, working hard for the long house for half a lifetime, and almost leaving the house after the last day?
Shen Jue's tears couldn't be stopped, and he fell in a hurry, kneeling in front of a box, touching the lock on it.
The eldest master of the sect was distressed, and seeing that Shen Rui didn't react, he coughed hurriedly and said, "Brother Rui, the key?"
When Shen Jue heard this, he also looked over.
Although Shen Rui didn't like the atmosphere of "temporary inspection" of the sect room in the hall, it can be seen that the master of the sect room opened his mouth twice, and he still stepped forward to hand the key to Shen Jue.
Even if the rest of the sect doesn't look at Shen Jue well, the old man of the sect will not cheat his son.
Shen Jue took the key, his hands trembled because he was too excited, and it took a while to open the key to the first box.
Even if they pretended to be calm on their faces, everyone in the sect still stretched their necks in unison; Even the two brothers Shen Qi and Shen Quan, who were watching, also looked at the box with curiosity.
Looking at the contents of the box, Shen Jue suddenly crawled on the box and choked up: "Master, master."
Shen Ruiyin came over to hand over the key, stood two steps away, looked real, and couldn't help but be stunned......
