Volume 1 - Who Have Seen Again Chapter 23 The White Horse (2)

Shen Rui hurriedly wiped two more handfuls with his sleeves, this time he didn't dare to use the cuffs, and the middle of the sleeves he used immediately got wet. But the eyes were irritated, and the tears were contained, and the tears flowed down in an instant. Shen Rui smiled bitterly in his heart, he really didn't know where Guo Shi found the old ginger, it didn't have any taste, but this ginger juice was too eye-catching, it was really a weapon when crying and mourning.

When the people saw it, they thought it was a good boy who was lovely, so they hid and cried. Look at this child's discomfort, I can't stop crying.

What happened during the "first seven" is no secret among the clansmen. Seeing that Shen Juren was just treating Shen Jin as warm as spring, but when the sister-in-law came, the nose was not the nose, and the face was not the face, so it was too eccentric. Those who can be the head of the old house are all the descendants of each house, where can I see this. Even the little good impression of Shen Jin earlier was almost mixed up by Shen Juren's actions.

The patriarch frowned and said: "Talk to the child well, you feel uncomfortable after losing your wife, but you can also be considerate and considerate of Brother Rui." Rui Ge'er lost his mother at a young age, which is more difficult than you. He is a weak son who has lost his mother, and the only one he can rely on is you, the father, who can stop you from beating and scolding. Even if you want to be a strict father, you only think about the love of the Sun family, and you have to be softer with Brother Rui, otherwise we elders will not follow! ”

Shen Juren has passed the age of not being confused, and he was reprimanded in front of the younger generations of all the clans, where can he hang on his face, his face is flushed, and he wants to defend himself, but he can scold his son-in-law in front of him, and it is no taste to say more. He could only reply, but when he looked at Shen Rui's gaze, he became more and more cold.

fell into the eyes of several old ladies and grandfathers, and secretly shook their heads, looking at Shen Rui with more and more pity.

Shen Li stood in the hall, almost blowing up his lungs. No matter what Shen Juren's purpose is, he will label his son as "unfilial" when he opens his mouth, which is too vicious. But if Shen Rui is the most timid and stupid person who doesn't dare to respond in front of the elders, the hat of "lazy and unfilial" will sit firmly. If Zhang Lao'an treats his grandson harshly, and because of his old grudge with the Sun family, then Shen Juren's move is a tiger poison and eats his son's heart.

Shen Li knew that now was not the time to deal with Shen Juren, so he pulled Shen Rui down to his side with a stiff face, wiped his tears, and said loudly: "Sixth brother knows that you feel uncomfortable, but don't cry too hard." The hair and skin of the body, the parents who receive it, you are so good that you cherish yourself, you are really filial to your aunt...... Although your aunt has passed away, and no one in the Sun family can come forward to make decisions for you, you are not helpless. The elders of the clan are the most loving and just, and will never tolerate bullying of each other, and will definitely make decisions for you......"

As Shen Li spoke, he looked at the elders of the clan sitting in the hall.

Even the rickety clan elders who are already old, under such gaze, all straighten their waists. Earlier, there were people who had friends with Shen Juren, and if they wanted to turn big things into small things and small things, they would not properly cover the four rooms in the quilt, but now they also have to weigh whether they dare to offend Zhuang Yuanlang.

A few old foxes who had a good fortune couldn't help but exchange knowing glances. Because Shen Li lost his father at a young age, he was wronged by the clansmen, and his relationship with the clansmen has always been cold. Now the matter of the fourth room may be an opportunity to bring Shen Li closer to the relationship between the clan.

As for Shen Juren, he has no fame, he doesn't understand the world, except for marrying a good wife, he has no contribution to the clan, and his face is certainly not as good as Shen Li, the champion.

Shen Rui's eyes were already red, and he stood next to Shen Li, but in his heart, he was thinking about the words "flesh and blood deceiving" that Shen Li had just mentioned. Coupled with the embezzlement of property by his relatives mentioned by Shen Li last night, he couldn't help but feel weird. According to the genealogy of later generations, it is obvious that the Sun family donated the dowry himself, how can he listen to Shen Li's words, it was Shen Juren and Zhang Laoan who embezzled the Sun family's dowry, what is the hidden secret?

Although Shen Rui is not a greedy person, he is not as generous as he appears. If those dowries were really donated by Sun, he would have admitted it; If he is really invaded by Shen Juren and Zhang Laoan, he is not willing to swallow his anger, and he will definitely take this opportunity to give full play, even if he can't get rid of the shackles of the elder and the young, he must tear apart the hypocrisy of Shen Juren and Zhang Laoan, so that these two people will have no face to use their elders to control his life.

Thinking of this, Shen Rui was a little puzzled. Although he has never dealt with the Sun family, he can be praised by the Shen family, which shows that he is a successful person, and he lingered on the sickbed for half a year before his death, and he didn't die suddenly, so he didn't make any arrangements? If the Sun family were a foolish and filial person, he would not have repeatedly gained the upper hand in the dispute between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law twenty years ago, and firmly held the dowry and the four-room property until he was seriously ill and bedridden, and then let Zhang Lao'an intervene.

Shen Juren's body was already trembling with anger, could it be that he was not loving and unjust? Shen Rui is just bereaved of his mother, and he is still an old man, and he is not an orphan, where is it to the point where he needs the clansmen to be the masters. This Shen Li is also too arrogant, relying on the identity of the champion to make a mess of the family affairs of the four rooms, what is this called?

Shen Juren's face drooped, and he was already thinking that when the funeral was over, he would definitely find Shen Li to preach and ask him to know how to measure.

If he is only at home, Shen Juren is the head of the family, and everyone will look at his face; Now that the clan elders are here, it is inappropriate for him to show his face like this. Originally, he had the intention to say a few good words for him, but when he saw him like this, he also shut up, and he didn't want to bother anymore.

Shen Juren was angry, but he didn't even notice it, and unconsciously, the people of the clan actually acquiesced to his name of "being unkind to his father". If Shen Juren knew, he would have stomped his feet and shouted grievances, but at that time, the scene was difficult to reverse.

The atmosphere in the mourning hall was very depressing and heavy, but in the end, it was a funeral, and this solemn atmosphere was just right for the occasion, and no one was joking. At this time, I saw the housekeeper come to tell the prefect and the lady who came to the funeral.

Shen Juren's spirit was shocked, and he looked at the patriarch and the eldest master of the clan. Ordered to come to the door, Zhang Lao'an was sick, there was no other female dependent in the four rooms who could come out to entertain guests, and the most suitable for entertaining was the eldest lady of the sect, He's.

Although the eldest lady of the Zongfang has not been out of office, the eldest son is from Jinshi, and he has already asked for the title of his mother in Beijing as the fifth grade lang, so the eldest lady of the Zongfang is now too pleasant for the five products.

The patriarch glanced at Shen Li and said, "Let the He family lead Liuniang to entertain guests." ”

When the clan elders present heard this, they all nodded yes. Shen Li is in the ninth room and six, and the sixth mother here naturally refers to Shen Li's wife Xie.

Shen Juren was reluctant, and he didn't stop the housekeeper who passed the word.

After a cup of tea, the housekeeper turned around and said that the two ladies were already waiting for guests in the flower hall, and the prefect's wife opened her mouth to see Shen Rui.

Shen Juren scolded Shen Rui: "Good life to meet guests, if it is rude, be careful of your legs!" ”

Shen Rui's tears had already stopped, but his eyes were red, revealing a little pity and pity. In front of everyone's eyes, he acted like a well-behaved son, lowered his hands and listened to Shen Juren's reprimand honestly, and went to the flower hall with the housekeeper.

The name of the prefect's wife, Zhuang's family, Shen Rui has long been like thunder. I heard that when the Sun family "took the three", the prefect's wife went to the hanging sacrifice in person. During the "first seven" and "third seven", although he did not come in person, he also sent his nephews and nephews to the door. And after the "first seven", in addition to arranging people to come to the door to hang the sacrifice, she also made a special trip to make her henchmen visit Shen Rui, bird's nest ginseng and other tonic herbs to send a few boxes.

I don't know if Zhang Lao'an deliberately separated the Sun family from Shen Rui's mother and son in the past, and Shen Rui rarely followed the Sun family out to pay homage, so Shen has never had the opportunity to see the main master. But he knew in his heart that if the prefect's wife did not have a deep friendship with the Sun family, but only had a personal favor on the face, he would not have reached this point.

When I entered the house, I saw a middle-aged woman dressed in plain clothes, sitting on the head of the guest seat, forty years old, slightly rich, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes; The next woman was a little younger, and her eyes were a little lively. Sitting in the escort seat were the eldest lady of the sect, He, and Shen Li's wife, Xie.

Shen Rui didn't look carefully, glanced away and looked away, first met the eldest lady of the sect and the Xie family, and then was introduced by the eldest lady of the sect to meet the two female guests.

The older one was the prefect's wife, Gongren Zhuang, and did not let Shen Rui bow down, but personally helped Shen Rui to get up, and said with red eyes: "Good boy, I am friends with your mother, you can call me Aunt Zhuang or aunt, don't give birth." ”

I don't know how Shen Li will have a showdown with Shen Juren after today's funeral drama, if the most descendant of the clan comes forward to make peace, it will be covered up right and wrong, then Shen Rui will have no place to cry. Seeing that "foreign aid" is coming, no matter whether it is used or not, it is bound to borrow what can be borrowed.

Shen Rui's mind was full of thoughts, and his face was not half obvious, and when Mrs. Zhilu Dao spoke again to urge, he lowered his head slightly shyly and whispered, "Aunt Zhuang." ”

The prefect's wife took Shen Rui's hand, her face full of pity: "Hey, good boy." It's Aunt Zhuang who is not good, so she should have come to see you early. I don't know what your mother thinks, such a good child has been hiding at home. ”

It's not just that the prefect's wife is puzzled, but Shen Rui also has something to understand when he thinks of this, but no matter what the secret is, now he can only push it on Zhang Laoanren's head, and whispered: "If you don't do my mother's business, it's my grandmother who loves me and doesn't love me when I go out." ”

The prefect's wife was still kind, but her eyes were slightly cold, and she turned her head to look at the eldest lady of the sect and said lightly: "The old man dotes on his grandson, and he is still confined at home when he is a teenager, and he is raised as a daughter, which is really the first time I have heard of it." My sister is really blessed to meet such a mother-in-law. ”

Although this is a four-room housework, it can't write two Shen families in one stroke, and the eldest lady of the sect can only say: "The four-room branch is not complicated, and it has been passed down for several generations, and the old people are extra fond of it." ”

The prefect's wife raised her eyebrows, and did not play Tai Chi with the eldest lady of the sect again, but looked at the Xie family: "What did Xie Anren say?" ”

Xie Shi tried the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "I don't know how others are, but my father-in-law said that he has long regarded Second Uncle Rui as a brother." Although my aunt is gone, I still have the protection of our brother and sister-in-law. I'm also worried about it, my father-in-law is not good-tempered, and he always moves the board against the two monkeys in my family. Auntie is just this bit of flesh and blood, what if she is too strict? There is no reason to stop this disciplining brother who is the elder brother. Fortunately, Second Uncle Rui is filial piety and etiquette, and people can hurt everywhere, and there is nothing inappropriate. Otherwise, my father-in-law really wants to move the board, and I can't be a sister-in-law, and it's not a ...... if I don't stop it" Speaking of this, he said to Shen Rui: "However, if there is really that time, Second Uncle Rui doesn't have to complain about your sixth brother, that is to look forward to your success, he will be strict, and others will not bother with it......"
