In March, spring is bright.

The second wife sat in the house, but her heart was sullen, counting the days, looking forward to her husband's early return. However, the husband said that he had not yet arrived in Songjiang, and he needed to stay in Songjiang, and it would take several months to return to Beijing.

What is this called?

The third master has always been the shopkeeper, but the eldest lady let the third master be responsible for resting the house in the east. This is not the key, the key thing is that the five-entry mansion in the east turned out to be the Shen family.

It used to be an official eunuch's house living there, and the two families were neighbors, so they had to go back and forth, and the second wife also went to the next door as a guest. It's the same as the middle lane here, and it's all in color.

I really didn't expect that the house over there was also the Shen family, but she and the second master didn't know what to do.

Even if there is a courtyard next door, when the grandfather was alive, he drove them to Nancheng to do it, where is there a mixture of fish and dragons, where is this quiet and elegant?

Everyone is living together with their own property, but now they are all confined to one house, what is the matter?

Why don't you give them a place to live in the house next door?

Is it the grandfather's partiality and left it to the younger son?

The third master is just a concubine, and the second master is the brother of the eldest master, but after so many years, I have never seen the eldest master treat the second master differently, but he takes good care of the third master.

At that time, the grandfather said that their brothers divided the family property equally, but in fact, in the hands of their husband and wife, there was only a house in Nancheng, two Zhuangzi in Fangshan, and 4,000 taels of silver.

She was only fourteen years old at the time, and before she reached the end of her life, she even took the dowry and walked out of the gate of the Shen Mansion together.

The mother-in-law is her own aunt, but the mother-in-law can't do anything but cry, the grandfather and uncle look at her coldly, and the eldest sister-in-law is also perfunctory.

The second wife knew that they were complaining about themselves, and felt that they should not have robbed the second master and ruined the marriage contract between the Shen and Sun families. But they are full of "benevolence, righteousness and morality" one by one, who has really thought about the second master?

Shinong businessman, if the second master really wants to marry a merchant girl, he will be laughed at for a lifetime.

As for Sun Min...... When the second wife thought of this, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Even if Sun Min did not marry into the Shen family, since she was the only daughter of the Sun family and had a dowry, she would definitely not be wrong, and she would not be able to say that she would already have children and grandchildren.

Thinking of the word "children and grandchildren", the second wife's tears fell.

If he hadn't insisted on going his own way, saying that he had to marry the He family and set his son a little lady of the He family who was three years younger, but looking for a daughter-in-law who was about the same age as his son, his son would not have been married at the age of eighteen and went out of the city with his friends to run horses.

Even if the destiny of heaven cannot be violated, if the son gets married early, he can still leave blood and bones.

When Shen Jue enters the second room, she will not make this mistake again, she will definitely decide the heir as soon as possible, and get the heir as soon as possible, and everyone will be down-to-earth; Even if the second master has a concubine in the future, he will have to come back in line......

Matsue, wharf.

Shen Zhou stepped onto the ground from the plank of the boat and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

He lived to be in his forties, and the farthest place he went out before was in Beizhili, a few hundred miles away from the capital; Now two thousand miles of water, a whole month and a half in the boat, he felt that his bones were rusty.

Zongfang got the news of the capital, so he sent people to keep an eye on the dock.

Although no one knew Shen Zhou, the housekeepers who came back with him, as well as Shen Qi, Shen Ling, and Shen Lin, were familiar to everyone.

Here, the return gifts from the second room to each room in Songjiang have not yet been unloaded, and the eldest master of the sect room over there has already hurried over with his son Shen.

According to the respect of the eldest and youngest, the eldest lord of the sect is the clan brother, and Shen Zhou is the clan brother, so there is no need for the elder lord of the clan to greet him. But Shen Zhou's situation is different, he is the first time since the third master left Songjiang 60 years ago, the second room returned to Songjiang to worship the ancestors. Although Xu also came back last year, she is only a woman after all.

Shen Zhou saw the eldest master of the sect and hurriedly bowed his hand.

The two brothers are not close, in the second year of Hongzhi, when Shen Jian entered Beijing for the first time, the eldest master of the sect personally sent his son to Beijing, and also took his son to visit the second room.

This year is the fourteenth year of Hongji, and that was twelve years ago.

At that time, the eldest master of the sect was in the prime of life, and Shen Zhou was only in his prime, and now both of them are old.

The second room wants to worship the ancestors, and the ancestors of the second room are not sacrificed, because the second room is in the cemetery of Songjiang, and now only the side branches are buried. The third grandfather moved the graves of his biological mother and the two eldest brothers to Beijing, and waited until the old lady in the second room disappeared for many years, and the third grandfather moved the tomb of the old lady in this room to Beijing.

"This farewell has been more than ten years, brother, I am already old," said the eldest master of Zongfang.

He is also a person who sits on the five and six, and when he sees that Shen Zhou is close, he feels a little uncomfortable when he thinks that he will become the father of his young son.

Shen Zhou said: "Back then, the big clan brother sent Brother Mechanic into Beijing, and Brother Mechanic was still a hairy boy, and now the eldest grandson of the big clan brother can end up...... The younger generation has grown up, and we are all old......"

To say that the eldest master of the sect also saw the Xu family in the capital, but because the Xu family is a female dependent, it is not easy to take a closer look, and it has been 20 years since the Xu family went to Songjiang to get married, and I can't remember it for a long time.

The two clan brothers exchanged pleasantries, and Shen went to pull Shen Qi to talk beside him.

There were seven teenagers who entered Beijing with the Xu family last year, why did they come back to Shen Lin now?

Except for Shen Zhu, who skipped the list, Shen Qi told Shen about the situation of the other five people.

Because the eldest master of the sect and the master of the sect did not inform the family of the news of Shen Jue's succession, Shen did not know about the road before. After listening to Shen Qi's words, Shen's heart was turbulent.

He didn't know whether he should be happy to have one less brother to divide the family property; It's still time to be frustrated, why are you a few years younger?

The second son of the head of the sect, the wheel order should be like this, but it was only when he was old that he was followed by Shen Jue.

It's just that in the past few years, he has assisted the eldest master of the sect to take care of the general affairs, and Shen has already practiced the ability to be quiet, and said with a smile: "In this way, the elders have arranged it thoroughly......

The second room sent Shen Lin back alone. I don't leave any face for Jiufang, and it's not unusual to think about it carefully.

Who let Jiufang come out with a champion, and the appearance of the Jiufang master encroaching on the orphans and widows' industries back then was too ugly. The second room is in the same capital as Shen Li, and because of him, there are also people who don't want to see the nine rooms.

Actually, Shen thought too much.

Regardless of the grievances back then, Shen Li obviously didn't mean to be angry with Shen Lin, but he didn't pay much attention to it. The two are cousins, just when Shen Ji and Shen Ying picked up people one after another years ago, Shen Ideal was also Shen Rui, not Shen Lin, a cousin.

Shen Li is like this, how could the elders of the second room be troubled by Shen Lin.

To tell the truth, if Shen Lin has a little qualification, the third master will keep him in Beijing. It was really discovered that Shen Lin was a stone head, and staying in Beijing was like this, so the third master did not keep Shen Lin.

At this time, Shen Yuan and the eldest master of the sect have finished greetings.

The eldest master of the sect asked Shen Zhou to get in the car, and the group slowly walked to Shen Jiafang.

Before he arrived at Shenjiafang, he heard a commotion in front of him, surrounded by many people.

Seeing this, Shen immediately sent someone over to take a look.

It turned out that the He family was giving a dowry, ten miles of red makeup, everyone was watching the excitement, and the intersection was blocked.

Shen inquired clearly, so he rode his horse to the carriage and told the master of the sect inside about it.

The eldest master of the sect thought about his own matchmaking and felt very boring.

It is not easy to be a matchmaker, and there are complaints on both sides if you are not careful; I am here, but there are complaints on three sides.

"Since it is the team that meets the He family to give the dowry, then stay aside and wait." The old man of the sect said.

Shen responded, and Shen Yuan in the carriage was a little curious: "The He family? Is it the He family where He Dongsheng is located? Isn't that the in-laws of the big brother? Now this is a kiss and a kiss? ”

The eldest master of the sect nodded and said, "It's their family...... Now that he is married to the fourth room, Ming'er is the right day, and the second brother of Zhou is catching up with the wedding wine. ”

Shen Zhou didn't know much about Shen Rui because of the Sun family before, but now when he heard the eldest master of the sect mentioning the "four rooms", he asked: "Is this the continuation of the eldest master of the fourth room, or is it the concubine marrying a daughter-in-law?" ”

The eldest master of the sect said "Ha Luha" twice: "It's Shen Yuan who continues to marry." ”

Although Shen Zhou had never met Shen Juren, after knowing that he was not good to Sun's mother and son, Shen Zhou was also disgusted with him.

He smiled lightly: "It's better to be in a hurry, Ming'er will come with the big brother to beg for wine and food."

The Shen family has four rooms, and He Wuniang's dowry is constantly being sent, and the smile on Shen Juren's face is even greater. Shen Jin followed behind Shen Juren and fought, looking at the lively scene in front of him, he felt very uncomfortable.

Xuezheng arrived in Songjiang Mansion at the end of February, and Shen Jin took a first-class exam, but went to Nanjing to prepare for the township test.

But because of Shen Juren's continuation, Shen Jin is not easy to leave, otherwise outsiders will see it and think that he doesn't like his stepmother to enter the door and avoid it.

Shen Jin didn't have any ill feelings towards He Wuniang who was going to enter the door tomorrow, but had some pity. 's own father is really not a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade

There is also a grandmother who likes to make trouble, and it is not easy to be a housewife in these four rooms.

Shen Juren was happy when he saw the dowry, even if the dowry list clearly listed that the accompanying property was only passed on to Wu Niang's parents, it did not affect his good mood......

Shenjiafang, backstreet.

Shen Yan put Bai Shi into the carriage, looked back at the house where he had lived for several years, and got into the carriage behind.

In addition to the two carriages that sat on people, there were also two carriages that pulled boxes.

These carriages were all borrowed by Shen Yan from the master of the sect.

It's not that he is stingy and wants to save money for hiring carriages, but it is actually that Songjiang is not close to Nanjing, and he is not worried about hiring people from outside, so he begged the master of Zongfang once with a thick face.

The eldest master of the sect agreed to him happily, but did not mention the fact that the second master of the second room was about to go to Songjiang.

The Shen Yan brothers had no way of knowing, so on this day, the two were wrong.

On the day when the second master of the second room arrived in Songjiang, the Shen Yan brothers left Songjiang with their mother......
