After a while, Shen Li followed the longevity. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Why are you standing here?" Shen Li pointed to the teahouse on the corner of the street in the distance and beckoned Shen Rui to follow.

Shen Rui looked down at his body and hesitated. Shen Li said: "It's okay, it's my own shop." ”

Shen Rui followed, and Shen Li said as he walked, "Did my aunt ask you to come over?" Still thinking about the past today, after listening to the news of Songjiang, was the old man shocked? ”

"I'm startled, I'm worried, I don't worry about my relatives, send me and my brother to go back together!" Shen Rui replied.

Shen Li hesitated, frowned, and said: "Send the steward to follow the past, go back and forth for several months, what if you can't catch up with the burning week?" ”

In Shen Li's eyes, the clansmen are clansmen, the clansmen are clansmen, and the second-room and fourth-room Sun clans are naturally relatives to be taken to heart, and the others are just the same surname, and they can get by on the face. If it was really for the sake of the so-called clansmen, he would delay the major affairs of his relatives, and Shen Li would naturally disapprove of it. Therefore, even if the Hanlin Academy was idle, Shen Li did not have the idea of asking for leave to return to his hometown, so he sent his eldest son over to show up, which meant it.

"Uncle and grandmother of the fourth room are here, so it's not appropriate to just send the steward over." Shen Rui said: "When you go, take a boat, and when you come back, you will take the land route, and you won't delay the burning week." ”

Although it is said that the elders and young are respectful and humble, they really have no good impression of Shen Li, who is the old man of the fourth room, and said disapprerovingly: "Uncle Yuan's filial son and Shen Jin's virtuous grandson are not kept, what are you worried about?" That's it, my aunt has always been a thoughtful person, and she thinks a lot for you, so it's good if you prioritize well......"

While speaking, the two walked to the teahouse.

The teahouse was a little deserted, and there was only one table of guests downstairs, and when he saw Shen Rui coming in in a filial piety suit, he muttered a few words.

Xiao Er looked at Shen Ruixiao in embarrassment, and the shopkeeper recognized Shen Li, and greeted him with the title of "master". Shen Li took Shen Rui into the private room upstairs, and the shopkeeper personally served tea before withdrawing.

Shen Rui was already thirsty, so he drank two glasses in a row before looking around. The layout here is simple, but not shabby, the utensils are expensive, but also with a bit of elegance, it is a good place for literati to meet. Tea is also good tea, but business doesn't seem to be good.

"This is my sister-in-law's dowry? This boundary can't be said to be an inch of land, but it's rare, why is it a little deserted? ”

Shen Li shook his head, with a look of admiration on his face: "No, this is the property of the Sun family, and Mrs. Sun gave it to the old lady in the second room before her death, and later the aunt married and made the dowry of the aunt, and the aunt entrusted it to the eldest aunt here to take care of it." When I returned to my hometown that year, my aunt gave me this place for my friends to use. The eldest aunt said that the business here should be bad or bad, so the list of dim sum and tea is still the same for decades, and the price is low. It's not here, but it's the favorite place for Hanlin officials, not to mention the cleanliness, and the price is much cheaper than other teahouses. Speaking of this, he lowered his voice: "It's not that I want to hear anything, but since I am in the Hanlin Academy, it is also a good thing that my ears and eyes are clear." Over the years, I have also avoided several storms...... When you enter Hanlin, this teahouse will be ...... by you."

Shen Rui listened, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't want it, Brother Jiu will leave it to Brother Lin......

Shen Li looked at Shen Rui and didn't speak, and only said with sentimentality for a while: "Brother Rui is separated from me after all!" ”

Shen Rui sneered: "I have several shops under my name, but in the hands of Brother Jiu, I must always have my own industry......

Shen Li's expression eased slightly, and said: "Don't be verbose, this teahouse is the work of the aunt and the eldest aunt, and the shopkeeper is also the old man of the Sun family, which one will not be left to you?" If you say anything else, you will be complaining that Brother Jiu didn't pay you back soon......"

At this point, Shen Rui could only say: "I'm just a showman, I'll talk about it when I can enter Hanlin in the future." If I can't get into Hanlin, I won't take over this loss-making business, and I won't worry about it enough. ”

"That's natural, if you really can't get into Hanlin, I'll leave it to my nephew in the future. This teahouse is meant to be passed down from generation to generation, and inside it is the teachings and compassion of the elders. Shen Li nodded.

Shen Rui remembered the matter and knew that if he persuaded him bluntly, he would inevitably be suspected of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Shen Li is a benevolent gentleman, who seems to treat people lightly, but he is the most grateful in his bones. He can be grateful to the Sun family for his appeasement back then, and he is also grateful for the protection and support of the Yue family, so he will tolerate the Xie family in every way. If he knew that Xie Qian was in trouble, Shen Li would not leave Beijing.

Shen Rui made a look of embarrassment and said, "I heard that the third brother said that the ninth brother let Brother Lin go south?" ”

Shen Li nodded: "Yes, since something happened over there, you have to go back and take a look." Don't worry too much, nothing will happen. Shenjiafang is far from the government office, and there are hundreds of people in each house, even if the Japanese invade the city, the number of people is limited, and it will not be too arrogant. ”

Shen Rui was worried: "Ninth brother, in front of my mother and third brother, I didn't dare to say anything, but the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became. In a coastal place, it is not uncommon for the Japanese to go ashore, and there is always news coming out every three or five days, but the number of times they dare to enter the city to loot is only a handful, and most of them are looting Zhuangzi. This time it is to enter the city, whether it is a real Japanese robber, or an outlaw pretending to be a Japanese robber, to do this step, it is the master who wants money and does not want to die, but in Huating County, everyone knows that the richest are the Shen family and the He family...... If the other party has a plan, what will happen to the other side? According to the local newspaper, there were more than 100 casualties. ”

Shen Li's expression changed greatly, it was one thing not to wait for his clansmen, but he didn't expect their family to be ruined.

"No wonder Uncle Hong said that he wanted to go back anyway, it seems that he also wanted to go here." Shen Li was uncertain.

Shen Rui said: "If the patriarch is here, his prestige is high, and he can organize people to fight against bandits in a hurry, Uncle Hai's temperament will be softer." Coupled with the three-room separation, except for the eldest master, several other masters have moved their families, and there are a few remaining people in the three-room. The other heads, the old and the old, the weak and the weak, encounter things, and they really don't top anything. ”

Shen Li thought so, thinking about the few people who planned to go back to the city, with a hesitation on their faces. Master Hongda is not in good health, and he won't do anything when he goes back, Shen Quan, Shen Jin, Shen Rui, Shen Lin, even if there is a new champion among them, but the age and seniority are all here, if there is a big event over there, these people are not suitable candidates for the main matter. is to come forward to deal with the government, and he is also the champion, but Shen Jin's weight is not as good as Shen Li's old son-in-law.

Thinking of this, Shen Li said: "Fortunately, you think about it thoroughly, I was negligent, it seems that I have to go along." ”

Shen Rui echoed: "Then I'll rest assured." ”

It's not that Shen Rui has the intention to curse the clansmen, but there is no shortage of possibilities. Wufang also thought of this, but he was worried about the good and bad spirits, so he didn't dare to say it.

The ship set for the fifth room was the day after tomorrow, and Shen Li wrote it down and transferred back to Hanlin Courtyard to ask for leave.

Shen Rui looked at the imperial city in the distance, thinking about Brother Shou'er, who he hadn't seen for months, but he didn't have anything to worry about. That one seems to be innocent, but he grew up in the court, and he is not afraid of a few old foxes when he plays with power. The struggle for power, sometimes you can retreat, sometimes you can't, especially now that Brother Shou is fifteen years old, the weak crown is not married, and it will take a few years to take a step back and want to be in power. Maybe Xie Qian's three elders thought about the people's livelihood and economy, and they were worried that the new emperor would act willfully, so they wanted to curb the monarchy's power, but if they wanted to say that they had no selfish intentions, they didn't believe it. The right is like poison, in the Hongzhi Dynasty, the first emperor ruled by the arch, and the power of the government was entrusted to the three elders, which also raised their appetites.

The world is heavy, the sacrifice is the heaviest, the robbery of Huating has spread all over the court, Shen Li, the waiter to lecture on the bachelor is an idle errand, the excerpt of the leave is handed in on the same day, and it will be approved the next day. Shen Li finished handing over the errand at hand and returned home.

Entering the gate, Shen Li felt that something was wrong, glanced at the slightly restrained housekeeper, and said, "Brother Lin'er's luggage is all packed?" ”

The butler bowed and hesitated, "Not yet." ”

Shen Li frowned: "What has Mrs. been busy with these two days?" ”

This year, the husband and wife were getting more and more suspicious, and Shen Liduo rested in the study, and he didn't see Xie for the past two days.

The housekeeper bowed even more: "Mrs. is sick...... The eldest young master is serving the sick......"

Shen Li only felt that his temples were beating straight, and his heart was on fire. The day before yesterday, he handed over the family to prepare the luggage for his eldest son, and after three days, the luggage was not packed, but the person was sick, and it would be strange to say that there was no cat in it.

Shen Li suppressed his anger and said, "Which imperial doctor did you invite, what did the imperial doctor say?" ”

The housekeeper said: "I invited Imperial Doctor Zhao, saying that Mrs. has an evil wind entering the body, the spleen and stomach are not balanced, and she has some heat stroke, and she needs to recuperate......

Shen Li laughed angrily, now that the weather is in ambush, the weather is hot and like a fire, and it is not easy to withstand the wind. No wonder the study has been quiet in the past two days, and there has been no soup or water or anything like that, it seems that his wife is all focused on how to get sick. This Imperial Doctor Zhao is an old man used by the Xie Mansion, and he is a good family with the Xie family.

In the main room, Xie leaned on the head of the bed, holding the medicine bowl, only to feel weak, and his eyes were black for a while. She didn't worry about her eldest son going away, and she didn't dare to disobey her husband's wishes, so she could only take advantage of herself. Even if the clan is important, but her biological mother is sick, and Shen Lin should stay behind.

Shen Lin's immature little face was full of worry: "Mother is very uncomfortable......"

Xie shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't rested well in the past few days...... The mental head is a little lacking......"

Shen Lin's eyes were red and said, "My mother has fainted, and there is still nothing there." ”

Xie Shi looked at his eldest son, who was standing like a pine and cypress, his heart was full of pride, but his face was weak: "It's all because my body is not angry, my lord is busy with errands, your younger brothers are still young, and the family depends on Brother Lin......"

Shen Lin nodded and said, "Mother is recuperating with peace of mind, and her son is here for everything." ”

Xie nodded with satisfaction, this picture of the mother and son being inseparable made Shen Li look at it squarely.

Shen Li walked in, and Shen Lin hurriedly got up to say hello.

Xie Shi was surprised and looked at the sky outside the window: "At this hour, why did the master come back?" ”

Shen Li didn't look at Xie Shi, and said to his eldest son: "The boat to Songjiang will leave tomorrow, can you pack your luggage?" ”

Shen Lin looked at Xie Shi, saw Xie Shi bowing his head and coughing, and hesitated: "Father, now my mother is sick......

Shen Li looked at Xie Shi, Xie Shi averted his eyes, stroked his forehead and moaned, not fake, but stayed up for two nights and soaked in ice water, and he really couldn't stand it.

Shen Li's eyes were dark, and he said to Shen Lin: "Since this is the case, you can stay at home and do your filial piety, and you don't have to go with you." ”

Shen Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and Xie also stopped moaning.

Shen Li continued: "You are the eldest son, think more about things in the future, be a little assertive, don't be fooled as a fool." ”

Shen Lin was puzzled, but still nodded in response. Xie Shi was beside him, only to feel his heart pounding, and his head hurt even more.

Shen Li sneered, stared at Xie Shi and said, "Since you are seeking benevolence, you can recuperate well......
