Because the patriarch was urging people, the eldest lady of the sect had already paid attention to the news of the guest house, and when she knew that the Xu family was back, she immediately whispered to the second daughter-in-law to treat the guests and move to the guest house by herself.

The Xu family had already finished talking to the Guo family, so he went to the east of the front hall with the eldest lady of the sect to greet the clan elders.

The old lady of the eighth room didn't say anything, but only ordered someone to pay a salute. No matter what the identity of the Xu family is, how old they are, they are all granddaughters-in-law.

When the number of rites arrives, so is it. As for whether you can form a good relationship with the second room, there is no need to force it, and the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

The old lady of the third room was full of warmth, and asked a few words, asking when the Xu family would leave Beijing and stay in Suzhou for a few days, and there were still a few in-laws in Suzhou, Yunyun.

Seeing that the old lady of the third room was chattering endlessly, the nine-room master was a little anxious, so he interjected: "Brother Luo, why did you say that you would go?" The year before last, the news of his middle move came back, and I also asked the boys to go and put a string of artillery battles, Brother Li is true, he is in Beijing, and he will not go back to the clan to report a message"

The room was immediately cold.

The old lady of the third room glared at the master of the ninth room, and also sighed: "Love is deep and long-lived, and wisdom will be hurt." Brother Luo is a good boy, but the Shen family is not blessed to keep him, and only hopes that he can be reincarnated into a good family......"

The eight-room old lady and the three-room old lady have both experienced the pain of losing their sons, although after many years, they can think of their own bodies, and the two old people are also depressed.

For the sake of the future prospects of the third room, the old lady of the third room wanted to give up her most important great-grandson Shen Zhu to be the heir of the second room, and her grandson Shen Hu also agreed, but Shen Zhu himself objected. For this, Shen Zhu has been on hunger strike for two days, and the old lady of the third room only thinks that he is a stubborn and disobedient child, and wants to teach him a lesson丨Now when it comes to Shen Luo's untimely death, the old lady of the third room is a little reluctant, and he is a little unhappy about the succession.

The ninth master was also speechless for a while, and his son was gone. If you can really be reincarnated, then you should also grow up. But the dead are gone, and they must take care of the living. Otherwise, they are old and stubborn, why did they come here? Don't you still want to escort your grandchildren and great-grandchildren for a few more years?

Seeing that everyone was silent, the master of the ninth room said: "If you are a few years younger than your husband and wife, we old people will only persuade you to be virtuous and take more concubines to ask for children; But you are not young now, and Brother Luo has not stood still, so it is not easy to delay the matter of this heir. ”

As an elder of the clan, the ninth master is qualified to say this, but it is so straightforward, it sounds harsh.

Xu didn't see annoyance, but nodded and said: "My lord said the same thing, it's just that the capital is thousands of miles away from Songjiang, and my lord is an official and must not leave lightly, so I really don't know the good and bad children in the clan." ”

Seeing that she sent a mouthful, the Jiufang Master only felt a shock in his spirit, straightened his waist and said, "You are provincial, didn't you just meet your nephews this time?" This heir selection needs to be solemn and respectful. The most important thing is the child who is filial to his duty, so that he can worry less in the future. It's not that I'm old and boastful, my brother Lin is the most honest, filial and courteous good boy. ”

The patriarch and the eight-room old lady were still wondering which one Brother Lin was, and the third-room old lady couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Be honest and honest, that's stupid, okay? At the age of fourteen, he is still mixed in the Mengtong class, he has no other strengths, he has no talent for reading at all, and the master of the ninth room dares to let him be the heir of the squire family? However, the grandson of the ninth house really can't take it, and this Brother Lin is better than being honest and obedient. However, I heard the words of the ninth room master and his brother Shen Lu, if he really went to be the heir of the second room, then the second room and the ninth room would not be clear in the future.

Xu only listened with a smile, and after listening, he said kindly: "Yes, you should pay attention to the concubine body at that moment." ”

Seeing this, the old lady of the third room couldn't help but be a little moved, and said: "My ninth brother is seventeen, he has passed the hospital examination this year, and he has won fame, and now he is preparing for next year's township examination."

"It's really rare to pass the hospital exam at the age of seventeen," Xu also praised.

When the patriarch saw the Xu family's faction, he was a little confused. Didn't you already decide to take Shen Rui north? And what does it mean to say this?

Mrs. Zongfang was beside her, feeling quite complicated, a little relieved and a little disappointed. Perhaps, as the husband said, if the young son can live in the second room, he will have a second room to take care of in the future, even if he is not rich and expensive, his life is better than that of the family. She thought that even if the Xu family really chose an heir, it would be the first choice for Shen Rui, who had lost his mother and had a relationship with him, but she didn't expect that the Xu family would also pay attention to other candidates.

The ninth master was so excited that he couldn't wait to ask his grandson to come to see the Xu family quickly.

However, the Xu family and the masters of each room have not yet met, and it is not the turn of the younger generation to ask for peace, so the master of the ninth room said to the patriarch: "Shouldn't we let the family members and the water generation of each room come in to recognize their relatives?" ”

The patriarch nodded yes, and sent someone out of Lu to spread the word.

One time less, the eldest master of the sect was the leader, leading the family members of each room and the other four masters of the water character generation to come in.

Seeing that Shen Jiang, the second master of the sect, was in the ranks, there was a chill in the eyes of the patriarch's wife, and he endured it without changing his face.

Among the ten masters of the water generation, except for the two masters of the sect who are uncles, the others are all uncles.

Under the introduction of the eldest lady of the sect, the Xu family first gave gifts to the two uncles, and then met the uncles of the clans. Although she took a look at Shen Juren when she greeted her, she didn't say anything about others.

Wait until all the masters have withdrawn, and then the jade characters will come in, first Shen Qi and Shen Lu, the two room chiefs, came to visit alone, and then the brothers Shen and Shen Jue came in.

It seems that the eldest master of the sect is according to the head of the house, and the nephews of the jade character are called in turn to come in and ask for peace, and the brothers Shen and Shen Jue are the grandsons of the sect, and they also said it after the two chiefs.

But in the end, it is a little eye-catching, except for the old lady of the eighth room, who is not his own business, the faces of the other clan elders are a little ugly.

The Xu family liked Shen Jue quite much, and after the two of them invited An, they beckoned him to him: "Auntie borrowed your place to entertain guests, but it bothered your father and mother, I heard that you just followed your second brother to welcome guests, and you were tired?" ”

"No, no, it's all the second brother Zhang Luo, and the nephew ran errands after him, and he was not affected." Shen Jue was a little embarrassed to be praised and said shyly.

"Good boy, but not greedy." Xu smiled.

Seeing that the Xu family was like this, the old lady of the third room and the old lady of the ninth room looked at Shen Jue's gaze and began to shoot knives.

Shen Jue only felt that his scalp was numb from being stared at, and he looked at the second elder suspiciously, with a bit of innocence on his face. And when he saw that, he would ask the two of them why they were staring at him

Seeing this, the patriarch couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't go down quickly, don't delay others to come to ask for peace for your aunt."

Shen Jue shut up and honestly followed Shen to retreat.

The eldest lady of the sect sat beside the Xu family, and when she saw that her young son didn't give her a single look, she couldn't tell whether she was angry or sad, and her face faded.

Then came in a group of huhula people.

The great-great-grandsons and great-grandchildren of the third room are all here, there are more than a dozen people, the older ones are in their early twenties, and the younger ones are only six or seven years old, and they are lined up in two rows. Shen Zhu is among them, and he really stands out from the crowd, which makes people notice it at a glance.

The eldest lady of the sect is well-read and has a strong memory, and she can name the children and nephews in the next room, and introduce them to the Xu family one by one.

Because the old lady in the third room praised Shen Zhu just now, after the Xu family saw everyone, he left Shen Zhu alone and asked a few words of family life.

Shen Zhu lowered his eyes and replied decently, but his expression was not close.

The old lady in the third room glared at the baby's great-grandson, and was so anxious that she wanted to stomp her feet.

Shen Zhu never looked up, nor did he have any joy.

Seeing this, the ninth room master couldn't help but sneer. What is the appearance of high and clear? Do you still think that you must have an heir? It's too ignorant to slap your face in front of your elders like this.

Seeing this, Xu just smiled, and didn't care.

The old lady in the third room let out a long breath, learned from the patriarch, and asked Shen Zhu to retreat.

The one who came in again was Shen Rui.

Although Xu had already met Shen Rui a few days ago, and this was the second time they had met, Xu still looked at Shen Rui for a while, and sighed: "Brother Rui's eyebrows and eyes, it's really like your mother......

Shen Rui couldn't answer, so he could only be silent. But the eyes of several clan elders shimmered, and it was really uncomfortable to stare at people, so that he couldn't help but glance up.

The third old lady had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold; The ninth room master drooped his eyelids and blackened his face directly; The patriarch and the old lady of the eighth room looked serious, but their eyes were warm.

I heard Xu continue: "Your mother was brought up by me, although she is not surnamed Xu, but I think she is the same as a sister in my heart." It's just that I didn't expect her to go so early, but fortunately, I left you with this bit of blood. Your grandfather's blessed land is in the capital, and you used to be young, so it's hard to mention this to you. Now that you are twelve, is it also your mother to worship one or two? ”

Shen Rui heard this for the first time, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Isn't my nephew's grandfather from Wenzhou?" How is the blessed land in the capital? ”

Xu Shi Wenxu said: "The grandfather of the Sun family and my grandfather were friends of eight worships before his death, because the grandfather settled in the capital, the grandfather of the Sun family also moved to the capital, and then the two old people chose the blessed land together. Your mother is married far away, and I have been taking care of Mrs. Sun's blessed land with our master all these years. It's just that we are not the descendants of Mrs. Sun after all, and you are also your mother to do your filial piety. I want to come to the old man's house to know about it, and I also look forward to seeing the only descendant of the bloodline. ”

Shen Rui frowned slightly when he heard this.

Although he didn't know Xu's intentions, it was obvious that he wanted to take him to the capital, and he was not allowed to refuse, so he carried the late Mrs. Sun out.

Shen Rui never forgot to go to the capital, but he didn't want to be forced in such a way. After all, this is not an ordinary guest, next February is the period of the county examination, if you enter Beijing, the children's examination will be delayed for a year, and you may be involved in the trouble of choosing an heir in the second room.

Under the partial filial piety, he is not easy to refuse, so he is a little embarrassed.

The old lady of the third room and the old lady of the ninth room, seeing that the Xu family was close to Shen Rui, were afraid at first, and then they were dumbfounded.

Sun Mengsheng's friendship with the second room and the third master is so good, and the Sun family has become brought up by the Xu family, so for their relatives who "robbed while the fire" three years ago, they really don't hold grudges?

The three-room old lady and the nine-room lady couldn't sit still.

Xu Shi didn't see it, and saw the rest of the house brothers in turn, and Shen Quan, Shen Qin, and Shen Bao who had seen in the restaurant that day all left for questioning; For Brother Lin, who was mentioned by the ninth room master, Xu also stayed and talked about his daily routine.

When it came to the Muzi generation, the Xu family met together and did not inquire carefully.

When the children all went down, the Xu family said a word, which made several clan elders dumbfounded......
