Although the Xu family knew the cause and effect of Qiao's calculation, he was not in a hurry to tell the third master. Even her aunt listened to it, and she sweated for the fourth brother, if she let the third master and the third wife know, she would definitely hate Qiao's in her heart.

Qiao is not afraid alone, but he is afraid that the two of them will complain about Shen Zhou.

There are only a few people in the Shen family, if there is a gap between siblings, the most difficult thing is the eldest master.

The eldest lord personally raised the third master, and he looked closer to this half-brother than the second master from his compatriots, but this does not mean that the eldest master can really ignore the second master. In that case, as early as after the third master and the third old lady died one after another, the eldest master swept the second master's family out of the house.

When the eldest lord came back, he was very sad to hear Xu say about it.

He closed his eyes and sighed faintly and said: "At the beginning, when I was an elder brother, I saw that the Qiao family was not proper, and the Qiao family was not a virtuous person, so I should stop it, and begged the master not to admit that the second child of this family business was a bastard at that time, but if someone pulled it, it would not have come to this end."

Xu disagrees with this statement.

The second master was sixteen years old when he was raised, a young talent, proud, and his eyes flattered by relatives and friends were eager to grow on his head. Even for the eldest brother who is five years older, in addition to being in awe, he is also complacent in his schoolwork

His heart is so high that he can't look down on the Sun family, who was born in Shangjia, and has an affair with his aunt and cousin who sacrifices to the restaurant.

Even if he later went to Mrs. Sun to "plead guilty", he didn't really feel that he was wrong, but just to explain to the third master.

Even if the eldest master really came forward and begged the third master not to recognize the marriage contract made by Shen Qiao's two housemothers, he would not be able to settle down in the young second master's heart, and he would not be jealous of him as a brother and would not let him get a good wife to help.

The third master happily accepted the marriage contract between Shen Qiao's two families, not because of the affection of relatives, nor because of the second son's intentions, but because he was completely disappointed in the second master.

Within two years, Uncle Qiao made a mistake, lost his job of sacrificing wine, and released him out of Beijing, including the handwriting of the third master.

Even the third old lady and the old lady Qiao didn't know about this matter, but the third lady didn't hide it from the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law.

"The Qiao family is sanctimonious and despicable, and the four grades are so stupid and arrogant, if they are in a high position, there will be a disaster for the clan" This is the original words of the third master.

Although the third master was suspected of being angry when he got rid of Uncle Qiao, the eldest lord and Xu, who were the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, did not feel that there was anything wrong with this move.

Old Mrs. Qiao relied on her sisterly love and calculated the Shen family, which made the Shen family uneasy, if she didn't teach the Qiao family a lesson, wouldn't it be cheaper for the Qiao family?

Now that Uncle Qiao's rank is still below the third master, they have already interfered in the Shen family's family affairs, making the Shen family feel ungrateful, disgusted with poverty and love for rich, if Uncle Qiao is lucky, he will regard the Shen family as a vassal

The priest of the country's sacrificial wine is not of high grade, but it is a very noble position, and he will be promoted when his qualifications are full.

Although officialdom pays attention to watching and helping each other, Qiao's family has a low character and is not an ally who can rely on each other.

As for the death of the third master, Uncle Qiao did not return to Beijing until he died, that is the back hand of the Xu family and Shen Cang.

The Xu family had several noble relatives back then, all of whom were in high positions, and it was not difficult to press a foreign official to return to the capital.

"If the second child hasn't made a decision this time, let the second room move out," Shen Cang said weakly.

Shen Zhou is also a fifty-year-old person, who can take care of him for a lifetime? As a brother, Shen Cang has worked for his brother for most of his life, and he doesn't think it's a glorious thing. It's just that as an eldest brother, he has the responsibility of an eldest brother, but he has no reason to pass on this responsibility to his heir.

Although Xu felt that the second master's patience with Qiao's had reached the extreme, he also knew that everything was possible. If the second master is soft-hearted, it is not uncommon to beg his brother and sister-in-law to spare Qiao's once.

"In this case, the third uncle and the third aunt are afraid that they will be uneasy," Xu hesitated.

Shen Cang waved his hand and said, "If that's the case, separate the east house and let the third child go alone...... You and I have the Spring and Autumn Period, watch them stand up in advance, and they can support them if they can't get up, it's better than them living in a mess and relying on their nephews and nephews and daughters-in-law after they can't stand up......."

This was said a little coldly, and Xu couldn't help but look at her husband in surprise. The husband's original meaning, but he wanted to respect his father's order to take care of the third master for the rest of his life, but now he has the intention of letting go.

Shen Cang smiled bitterly: "Madam is an understanding person, I can see it without me, with the fourth brother, the third brother and the Tian family have already had a plan......

Xu couldn't help laughing and said, "Master is really, is this vinegar?" At the moment, it is the third uncle and three aunts, and in the future, Brother Rui will get married and have children, and he will definitely be married. Who is not like this, but it is not interesting to think about it

Shen Cang shook his head and said, "People's desires are endless. Although the third child is the heart of his son, which is admirable and pitiful, he wants to fight for fame for the fourth brother today, and he will want to fight for the industry tomorrow if he can't say it...... In order to divide the injury in the future, it is better to make a clear ...... early"

Although the Shen family is rich, most of the money is spent on the income left by Mrs. Sun, and there are not many industries that are really passed down from the name of the third master. At the beginning, he gave thirty percent to the second master, and the rest of the properties were counted except for the sacrificial property.

The properties of the Sun family are under the name of the Xu family, and the husband and wife plan to pass them on to Shen Rui completely.

Even if he was close to the younger brother of the third master, the eldest master did not plan to divide that part of the industry.

The Shen family was originally sorry for Mrs. Sun, those who have supported the Shen family for more than 30 years, the Shen family has taken a big advantage, and now it can be passed on to Shen Rui "justifiably", and the husband and wife don't want to have any more branches

Xu Shi was silent for a while, and said: "The third uncle was personally taught by the master, not such a shameless person. Where did it get to that? ”

Shen Cang said: "Let's prevent the slightest...... The two of them are also in their thirties, and although we are kind and willing to worry about them, we also need them to appreciate it. Living next to each other on the left and right, even if they are separated, they are not much different from now. ”

Just now, Shen Cang just said that it was possible, but now he has made up his mind.

Xu sighed in his heart, knowing that Qiao's plot against the fourth brother failed, and her husband was not only annoyed by Qiao, but also angry with the third master.

Since the third master found the signs, if he had told his brother and sister-in-law earlier, he would not have let Qiao's plan step by step

The third master suppressed this matter and didn't say anything, in the final analysis, he was just afraid that the eldest brother and sister-in-law would be biased towards the second room, and would not make decisions for the third room; It is also to completely get rid of Qiao's threat and eliminate future troubles.

waited until Qiao's step by step arrangement to the most reluctant, the human and material evidence was complete, and the matter was revealed on the day when Shen Jue was punished and fainted, making Qiao's "crime on crime", and the eldest master and Xu's could not deal with it.

This is another form of coercion.

The eldest master and the Xu family are both smart people, where can't they see through the plans of the third master?

Xu is because of her husband, and she doesn't want to worry about the third master, but the eldest master feels cold because of the third master's means.

Although the third master is not from his compatriots, he has been raised and taken care of for so many years, and it has taken a lot of effort. Even for his own son, that's it. And because of the third master's physical illness, the eldest master and the Xu family took care of him in every way, even when Shen Luo was alive, he was also ranked behind the third master.

The third master's move was of course "love for his son", but he didn't take Shen Zhou, the second brother, into account at all, and he didn't trust his eldest brother and sister-in-law at all.

Although Xu was also annoyed that the third master was calculating his family, he didn't want his husband to be sad, and comforted: "It's just a little selfishness, who can live in the world without selfishness?" Even in my eyes, the master and Brother Rui are also in the top of others. Although the third uncle values the fourth brother, he does not disrespect you and me, the eldest brother and sister-in-law...... For the sake of his concern, don't worry about it......

The eldest man sighed and said, "Let's talk about other things when the second one's reply arrives...... Even if you want to get rid of the old three, you don't have to worry, you always have to take it step by step. Tian's there, Mrs. bothered to teach some ......"

The husband and wife were relatively speechless, and they were not happy in their hearts.

Shen Luo's death has too much impact on this family.

When Shen Luo was there, because there was only this one seedling in the third room, even if there was some friction between the brothers and sisters-in-law, because of Brother Luo, they could finally hold a ball.

Shen Luo died, the small long room and the small second room passed the heirs, and the small third room had biological children, although the Shen family still lived together, they had become three small families......

East Courtyard, Main House.

The maid came in with half a basin of hot water, and the third master sat on the side of the kang to soak his feet, with a volume of notes on the strategy of the new jinshi of Jinke in his hand.

picked up the Four Books and Five Classics again, and the third master was apprehensive in his heart, is this considered "if you have no desire, you will be strong, and if you have desire, you will panic"?

Although the admission rate of the general examination is much higher than that of the township examination, the scholars who take the examination also have outstanding advantages, and it is not easy to stand out.

The third master was confused for a while, he often went to Nancheng Academy to meet the text, and asked his father-in-law, Mrs. Tian, and his brother-in-law to mention more, but when Shen Rui passed the children's test in one go, and even He Taizhi, who was preparing for the exam with Shen Rui, also passed the government exam directly, and the third master had other plans in his heart.

He found that his nephew's preparation method was intensive, but it was very effective.

Nowadays, it has become a habit of the third master to keep his hands on the volume and silence a few good model essays at any time.

The third wife was in the west room, watching the fourth brother fall asleep, and then returned to the east house.

Seeing the corners of her husband's mouth upturned and his face full of joy, the third wife asked curiously: "What does the master think?"

The third old man snorted lightly and said, "Qiao's was grounded by his sister-in-law before dinner...... Skynet is magnificent but not leaky, this time she can't get rid of it, relying on the birth of Brother Luo to be a powerful blessing at home for more than ten years, and the good days should come to an end."

The third wife didn't feel happy when she heard this, but felt flustered, and some disapproved of her husband's mean words, frowning: "Master, what is the ......elder over there?"

The third old man sneered and said: "She also has to look like an elder in order to be respected, but as long as she has a sister-in-law who is half kind and benevolent, I will also be an obedient and respectful uncle, even if there is a deep blessing, let her toss all the things herself?" really thinks that she is the daughter of a high family, she looks down on this, looks down on that who twists and tricks with a little color, and has a second brother who blindly protects her, what else can she rely on now? ”

Although the third wife also secretly hated Qiao's peeping and calculating on the fourth brother, in the end, it was a woman's family, and it was not as good as the third master, and said with a little anxiety: "What will the uncle and sister-in-law do?" ”

The third old man said proudly: "Sweeping the floor and going out, sister-in-law is the most person who can't rub sand in her eyes." Brother Jue's sin yesterday can be said to be an unintentional offense, and thinking about the fourth brother is intentionally evil...... How can the sister-in-law allow her to continue at home? However, the sister-in-law has always acted thoughtfully, and most of them will write to the second brother first, and when the second brother replies to the letter, she will send it justifiably. As for whether it will be sent to Zhuangzi outside the city or other courtyards in the city, it's hard to say...

The third wife is docile and kind-hearted, otherwise the Xu family would not have picked her to be a concubine.

Hearing her husband mention Qiao's future fate, the third wife became more and more uneasy.

Although Qiao's sister-in-law is not kind, she has not been angry with her for more than ten years, but it is too miserable for a woman, her son is gone, her husband is separated, and her incompatible in-laws are too miserable.

The old lady Qiao on the side of Qiao's family is deceased, and Qiao's family is not close to several sisters-in-law, so there is no one to rely on.

Even if the third wife knew that Qiao's was self-inflicted, she felt a little guilty inexplicably and wanted to persuade her husband to say a few words.

But the fourth brother is not only her husband's rebel scales now, but also her lifeblood, if she left Qiao's at home, she was really not at ease, so she swallowed the words on her lips again......
