The big heads are all properly distributed, and the rest is just some old furniture and antique treasures, even if they are worth a lot of money, but compared with these industrial fields, they are all small heads. Shen Jin has taken up the big head, and then he thinks about the small head, which is suspected of being greedy; On Shen Rui's side, the big heads are "letting", and it is not interesting to count the smaller heads. The two brothers, neither of whom mentioned it.

But now, since the property is divided in front of the clansmen, it must be properly divided. The dowry list is more than 20 years ago, and it is not easy to say how much it can match with what the Shen family has now.

Shen Li discussed a few words with the patriarch, and came to a conclusion, the remaining dowry of the Sun family was counted and put into the warehouse, and when the two brothers were married, they took out half of the family as a thought. Shen Juren wished that it was too early, so he naturally nodded. In those documents, this is indicated.

Seeing that something was coming, Shen Juren secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was overjoyed. He was complaining about Shen Li's troubles, but now he is also a little grateful. If it weren't for Shen Li's insistence on counting the Sun family's dowry, I don't know when the matter of the property being sold would not be revealed. Whether it's a three-bedroom or a nine-bedroom, which room is like it? It also involves the second master of the clan, and the patriarch is now under the "eyes of everyone" of the clan, so as not to favor parents and children, if it is behind people, maybe what will happen.

After not wanting Jiang Sangongzi to sign the position of the person in several documents, he looked at the patriarch and said: "Outsiders should not say much about the affairs of the nobles, but the mother and the aunt of the Sun family are like sisters, and since they are entrusted by their aunt, they can't help but think a little more." Uncle Shen Shishu is in the prime of life, the mandarin duck has lost his wife, and he has a period of remarriage. The mother said that in order to avoid the embarrassment of the newcomer, the property under the name of Shen Xiaodi still needs to be taken care of by another person among the nobles to calm everyone's hearts. ”

He said it tactfully, but the meaning of the words was inaudible to everyone at the moment.

Whether it was Zhang Lao'an, Shen Juren, or other unrelated clansmen, they all felt embarrassed. The Zhang family deceived and sold the Sun family's property, and the Shen family still "flocked to the top" Even if they can hide it from others, they can't hide it from the prefect's wife. Otherwise, the two most valuable weaving mills on the industrial list would not have been mentioned, and she would not have been so reticent.

Sun didn't wait for his breath, and the property was deceived and sold; Before the bones were cold, the only son was tortured to death. It seems that the prefect's wife can't believe that Zhang Lao'an and Shen Juren in the fourth room can treat Shen Rui well, and she doesn't believe that the Shen clan can automatically and spontaneously restrain the clansmen, so she said this sentence in the name of worrying about Shen Juren's remarriage. But the prefect's wife did not mean to meddle in the Sun family's industry, and clearly proposed to let the Shen family arrange "proper people" by themselves.

Shen Juren is still repaid, but he only feels that his face has been lost for half his life, and he is ashamed, where is there anything else to say; Zhang Laoan was a little anxious, what is this called? Even if those properties are temporarily under Shen Rui's name, they are also four-room, so can others take care of them? The clansmen are just clansmen, where can they be the masters of the four houses?

As soon as she wanted to speak, she listened to Shen Lidao: "What Zhuang Gongren said is extremely true, even if Gongren doesn't mention it, I have to mention this matter." Rui Ge'er was locked up in a cold room in the side courtyard a few days ago, and almost died of cold and starvation, no matter which negligence it was, it was a fatal thing. If there is a second time, where can I dare to rejoice? Lao An is old, and his spirit is not good, otherwise there would not be the Zhang family's deception and sale of his aunt's property; Uncle Yuan has a noble character, and he has never paid attention to these copper smells, and he is not a person who can bother to take care of the industry. For the sake of Brother Rui'er, I also asked the patriarch to entrust another 'proper person' to Fang Hao. ”

Zhang Laoanren stared, full of resentment, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth. Although she felt that she was not wrong, she was a little weak-hearted, and she didn't dare to speak at this time, for fear that Shen Li would break these two things with her regardless of her feelings.

The patriarch's face was tired, although the prefect's wife's words were a little abrupt, but the old man was also ready to respond, but he didn't expect Shen Li to speak at this time. Originally, the "proper person" he thought of in his heart was not someone else, it was Shen Li. Thinking about it again, Shen Li will be reinstated after keeping filial piety, and he will stay in Songjiang for two and a half years at most, and at that time he will have to change to someone else, which is indeed not a good candidate.

Which one to use?

The patriarch looked around at the heads of each house, and the third and ninth rooms involved in the encroachment of the Sun family's property did not need to be considered, and the sect house also had to avoid suspicion, so it was necessary to select people from the remaining five, six, seven, and eighty-four rooms.

The wealth is moving, Shen Rui is nine years old this year, and there are still seven or eight years before he starts a family and takes over the industry, even if the character of this takeover is passable, who knows if he will change his heart in the future? The prefect's wife will always be promoted with her husband, and Shen Li will also leave her hometown, and when the time comes, she will still have to rely on the "supervision" of the clan, maybe there will be another rip-off.

The patriarch is old, and he has a lot of concerns, so he didn't make up his own mind after thinking about it, but looked at Shen Li and said: "If the clan arranges someone to help Brother Rui take care of the industry, it's not impossible, but it's not a matter of one or two years, and there are many cumbersome and burdensome things, is there a suitable candidate for Weiyan?" ”

Shen Li glanced around at everyone, his eyes stopped for a moment on the father and son of the five-room grandfather, and said: "The fifth room is adjacent to the fourth room, and the aunt had a good relationship with Aunt Hong during her lifetime. ”

There are elders in the fifth room, and the patriarch did not directly make an idea, but asked the fifth room master.

Although the fifth room master was a little hesitant, he glanced at Shen Rui and nodded in response. The old man has always been square, but he has no selfish intentions, but he choked the eyes of the other people. Even Shen Hong, who was a little weak on the side, was secretly happy in his heart, his wife had the opportunity to repay his kindness, and his sons and nephews could take this opportunity to get closer to Shen Li, which was the best of both worlds.

Zhang Lao'an didn't ask himself when he asked, so everyone decided on the matter of the fourth room, and he was so angry that he fell down, and immediately wanted to speak, but he was pushed back by a sneer from the patriarch's wife. She had seen the methods of the patriarch's grandfather, and seeing that his eyes were not good, she didn't dare to do much with a stiff face.

The matter has been decided, and the people of the clan are a little impatient, especially the two grandchildren of the ninth house, who are eager to go home immediately, thinking about how to make up for it from the Zhang family. According to the previous statement, each house returned to the Sun family's property, recovered part of the loss of silver taels from the Zhang family and the fourth house, and also had to bear a quarter of the loss. For the third room, it is seven or eight thousand taels of silver, and for the solid third room, even if it is not a drop in the bucket, it will not hurt the muscles and bones. For the ninth room, a quarter is a thousand taels of silver, although it is far less than the loss of the third room and the sect room, but it can't bear the cold foundation of the nine rooms.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Jiang Sangongzi spoke again: "There is another matter, but it is out of the selfishness of the mother, so I want to ask, I don't know if the younger generation can talk about it?" ”

When he said everything, he lifted the prefect's wife out, and although everyone was slanderous, who could stop his mouth, he had to say "speak" and "speak" to listen to his ramblings.

But this time it was not a bad thing for the Shen family, so I heard Jiang Sangongzi say: "I don't know if Shen Jin is recorded in my aunt's name, if it is recorded in my aunt's name, my mother wants to see my eldest nephew." ”

All the clansmen looked at Shen Jin, admiring his fortune in their hearts, obviously he was just a concubine, but this had just divided the half of the Sun family's worth, and there was still the title of the eldest son and the official's wife and aunt waiting behind.

Shen Jin was looked at by everyone, his face was a little restrained, and he glanced at Shen Rui next to him, hesitating in his heart. It stands to reason that he inherited the gift of the Sun family and recorded it in the name of his mother-in-law, and it is also the proper meaning of honoring incense for his mother-in-law, but if he is recorded in the name of the Sun family, he will not only have the title of son-in-law, but also occupy the position of the eldest son. The law of the imperial court is to divide the family property and divide the sons equally, but it is also customary for the eldest son to inherit the family business.

Shen Jin was willing to take care of his younger brother, but he was unwilling to snatch the position of the eldest son. Besides, he still has his biological mother, and his biological mother only gave birth to one son. If he is recorded in Sun's name, what will happen to his biological mother?

But the eldest son of Shu recorded such a thing, although everyone looked at Shen Jin, it was not him who couldn't hold it. Shen Juren was beside him, and he had already nodded and said, "Since it is recorded in the name of the Sun family, Brother Jin'er, hurry up and follow the third prince to greet Gongren!" ”

His impatient appearance made all the clansmen speechless.

However, the prefect's wife came forward from the position of the Sun family, and she can be regarded as half of the Sun family's mother's family, she has no objection to Shen Jin's name, and others will not oppose it in a way that harms others and themselves, so she is happy to do this.

Shen Jin was urged to go to the East House with Jiang Sangongzi. Zhang Lao'an saw that he had nothing to do, and he had no face to continue to rely on in front of his relatives, and he used the excuse of seeing his female relatives follow. Before leaving, when she passed by Shen Rui, she had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.

The name of the concubine is considered a happy event, even if he doesn't do other things, everyone is not stingy to say a few good words to Shen Juren, just looking at Shen Rui's gaze, it is a little complicated.

Shen Rui couldn't help frowning when he thought about Zhang Laoan's eyes. What he mentioned to Shen Li before was not an exaggeration, but he was really worried about what Zhang Lao'an would do to ruin his reputation. However, these days, Zhang Lao'an is coaxing with kind words, and nothing else has happened, he only thinks too much about himself. But at that moment, the hatred in Zhang Laoan's eyes was terrifying.

Shen Ruizhi felt that his scalp was numb, raised his head and looked at the few documents that had not yet been put away, and said, "Patriarch, can you add another sentence to this document?" ”

Hey?

When he opened his mouth, everyone couldn't help but be curious. A nine-year-old milk baby, what idea can't be realized? Or was the reaction too slow, and then I remembered that I was distressed to give my brother half of the property?

The patriarch was also quite surprised, and said, "What do you add?" Tell me about it? ”

Shen Rui said: "My mother was the most charitable before her death, and she had many good deeds, and the reason why she gave the property to my eldest brother and me was just the heart of pity and love for my son." As a son of man, his grandson will inherit his mother's will and do more good deeds when he grows up......" Speaking of this, he paused and said: "If the grandson is not blessed and cannot grow up, he will donate all these inheritances to benefit the neighbors......"
