Xiang'an Village

Shen Li and Shen Rui sat opposite each other.

Shen Rui didn't mention the topic of Shen Yuan first, but asked Shen Li with concern: "Can the sixth brother hire a famous doctor for the sixth sister-in-law?" Imperial Physician Wei has gone back to the palace, but my Doctor Liu is also a good pulse, and I will ask him to go back with the sixth brother to diagnose the pulse of the sixth sister-in-law in a while? ”

It was the last time he discussed shipbuilding, Shen Rui casually learned from Chief Shen that his couple had a dispute.

But afterwards, the brothers never mentioned this matter, Shen Rui had no interest in other people's family affairs, and he didn't have a good impression of Xie's family, but in the end, it was the sixth sister-in-law, for Shen Li's sake, greetings at this time were also essential.

Shen Rui had already made a note in his heart that he would ask someone to go back to the house and tell his mother Xu that he would prepare some medicine gifts for Shen Li's mansion to send, and on Zhuangzi's side, Tian'er should also send some things to be a courtesy.

Shen Li's face became even more worried, sighed, and said, "It's great to be able to invite Dr. Liu." Your sixth sister-in-law also took medicine a while ago, saying that she was dizzy from time to time. I felt better that day, and I went for a walk in the courtyard, and I accidentally tripped and fell for a while, and I asked the doctor to see that I broke my leg. has been hurting her muscles and bones for a hundred days, and her body has never been very good, and she is afraid that she will have to take care of it for a year and a half. I heard that the Hou Mansion of Shouning is quite anxious, and the few days of the circle are all in July ** this year, so I came to discuss with you. ”

Shen Rui didn't want Xie Shi to break his leg, thinking about the diet of the ancients, this calcium deficiency is also a common thing, and it is not surprising that he will break a bone or something.

At the moment, he said: "Sixth brother, don't worry, when I turn around, I asked Zhang Hui and Zhao Hongpei, and the bone-setting doctor they recognize in the general's house is more intelligent." ”

After thinking about it, he said: "I have ready-made cows and ewes in the village, and I asked people to send them to the sixth brother's mansion when I turned around, and asked them to teach the cook to squeeze the cow's milk and goat's milk, boil it and add sugar, and let the sixth sister-in-law drink a bowl every day." I remember what miscellaneous notes wrote about this dietary therapy method, and what stewed bone broth with some vinegar, all of which are for the body, especially for bones, Tian'er also drinks it like this now, and I will write it down carefully for the sixth brother when I go back. ”

Shen Li was full of sadness, and couldn't help but smile, "You have a heart." It's just, Rego, where do you read so many miscellaneous books and know all this nonsense! ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but ask him solemnly: "Miss Yang's illness is gradually getting better, can you make up for the homework you have missed?" ”

Shen Rui hugged his head and said with a wry smile: "Sixth brother, don't worry, my eldest brother also came to test me every now and then." ”

Shen Li nodded and said with a smile, thought about it, and asked again: "When will Second Uncle Zhou come back once a day?" ”

But Shen Zhou is now teaching in Tianjia Academy, and for convenience, he lives in the academy and only returns to the house once in a few days.

At the beginning, Shen Zhou had the idea of teaching, so he took action and went to Tian's house with the third master, Shen Run.

The current head of Tianjia Academy is the second son of Old Lady Tian and Shen Run's second uncle, he came out to receive his sister-in-law and Shen Zhou, and first secretly talked about finding a few imperial historians with Liaodong background to impeach a tyrannical eunuch.

Such a good thing of "doing the right thing for heaven", Tian Shanchang naturally will not refuse.

However, after discussing this matter, hearing that Shen Zhou was going to give a lecture, Tian Shan Changwei was really surprised.

Theoretically, Shen Zhou is a second-class descendant, served as a bachelor of Hanlin, and was once the prince of Nanjing Guozi to supervise the wine, this glittering resume, it is not called the great Confucian of the world, but it is also a number of figures in the forest, if in the ordinary, can invite such a scholar to come to the academy to give lectures, the prestige of the academy will immediately go up to a higher level.

However, now, Shen Zhou was kicked off from the position of the country's prince and the concubine of the niece and the daughter of the Jinshi as a concubine!

At the beginning, the excerpt who participated in his impeachment said that he was not upright, had a loss of personal morality, and was not worthy of being a teacher, but now, how can he still come to the academy to teach and educate people?

If the Tianjia Academy is invited, it will not be allowed to break the backbone!

Tian Shan couldn't help but slander his sister-in-law in his heart for being too shallow, don't you know your second brother's reputation now, why don't you persuade him to be at home, you have to bring it to Tian's house.

He said a few polite words on his face, but he euphemistically said that it was a condescension to let Shen Zhou come to Tianjia Academy to teach, and besides, the level of other gentlemen and Shen Zhou was far from the same, which inevitably embarrassed other gentlemen. Many people rely on this bondage to support their families......

After saying these words, I hope that Shen Zhou will have some consciousness and say goodbye.

didn't think about it, but Shen Zhou said that he wanted to meet Mrs. Tian.

Tian Shan Chang was unhappy, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to ask his father what he meant.

At the beginning, Shen Zhou and Master Qiao San often went in and out of the Tian family, and the old lady Tian was also quite familiar with Shen Zhou, so he came in and had a long talk with him, and finally agreed to allow Shen Zhou to come to the Tian Academy to give a lecture.

Tian Shan didn't have a good face to say anything, and when the Shen brothers left, he immediately went to see his father: "How did my father answer him?!" Although it's not good to offend relatives, it's ......"

Old lady Tian waved his hand and said, "It's not because of relatives. Shen Zhou is not doing well as an official, but his knowledge is solid, he wants to start from class C, if seventy percent of the class can pass the hospital examination, he will be transferred to class B, and then see how many people can be raised in class B next year. If it's just as extraordinary, it doesn't hurt to transfer him to Class A. If he doesn't pass half of the exams in Class C, he will resign if he has no face to stay in the academy and call him a gentleman. ”

Tianjia Academy, like most colleges today, is divided into five classes of A, B, C, D, and E in the name of merit.

After passing the hospital examination, he is a showman, but he doesn't know how many people are stumped in this one hospital examination, which is the first hurdle on the road to the imperial examination.

Shen Zhou asked to take over from this class first, and set up such a high "military order", which not only let the Tian family test his ability to educate people, but also went to the Tian family for fear that he would mislead people's children.

Tian Shanchang was still frowning, and said dissatisfiedly: "Father cherishes his talents, but his reputation, doesn't the students resent it?" If we spread the word, I am afraid that other colleges will take the opportunity to attack us. ”

Old lady Tian smiled, shook his head and said: "Let's take a gamble, these students, especially those old children, can get the wine of the country's prince and teach the prince himself, I am afraid that he will die of joy, which one will pick the dirty thing in his room?" As for the academy next to it, it can only say some sour words, and people with a discerning eye will not pay attention to it. After trying it in the hospital, they won't have any words, maybe it's all praise. ”

Although Tian Shanchang was 10,000 unhappy in his heart, he couldn't resist his father, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it.

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhou was very serious, not only moved to live in the academy, but also did not refuse the students who came to ask questions during the break, and patiently answered them one by one.

He is also very good at teaching, and after taking over Class C, most of the students' monthly examination scores have improved.

Tian Shan Chang had nothing to say.

It's just that there are really a few gentlemen in the academy who are dissatisfied with the use of "morally corrupt villains" like Shen Zhou, but there are very few who "resign in anger", and there are more sour words. Therefore, in the academy, many gentlemen do not have a good relationship with Shen Zhou.

But Shen Zhou doesn't seem to care, no matter who it is, he always treats him politely, and slowly, he has a little reputation.

In this regard, Xu once sighed with Shen Rui in private: "Your second uncle has really changed. ”

Shen Rui also felt a lot of emotion.

Shen Li didn't care about Shen Zhou at all, he only cared about whether Shen Zhou would ignore Shen Rui's studies.

Although he heard Shen Rui talk about Shen Zhou's motives, he was quite unimpressed. After the Tong Wei case, he didn't have a good impression of Shen Zhou. And he always thinks that the most important thing at the moment is to let Shen Rui hurry up to the middle lift, Jinshi and first.

Shen Rui said: "I made an appointment with my second uncle, every five days when he returns home, I take the homework and ask him to see, if he usually leaves any questions to test me, he will ask the scholar to send it, let me do it within a limited time, and the scholar will take it back immediately after writing." ”

Shen Li nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

After saying this, it still has to be talked about Shen Yuan.

And speaking of Shen Yuan, after the Tong Wei case, the Shen family is afraid that no one does not hate him, and Shen Rui and Shen Li especially hate him.

It's just that, according to the current situation, there is really no good way to let him out.

Shen Rui went through the people in Songjiang in his heart, and also found that most of them were keeping filial piety, and there was really no suitable person to handle Shen Jin's marriage.

"Alas, the third aunt is filial. It's just the third aunt's temperament, I'm afraid I won't be able to support it. It is also weaker in terms of reputation. "Shen Rui is talking about the Tian family, the wife of the third master Shen Run.

As a brother and sister-in-law, the third master and the Tian family served Shen Cang's filial piety for the period of Qi decline and non-scepter, which was one year.

When Xiaoxiang, the second room and the third room were filial piety, but the three brothers were very affectionate, and now they live together, so they are still dressed and eaten according to the rules of filial piety.

Tian is a notoriously weak and good-tempered person, who can't wait to care about anything, and can't handle big scenes at all.

"I had to leave four rooms. That person," Shen Rui really didn't bother to mention Shen Yuan's name, so he just said, "Let it out." I think, well, I'm afraid it's hard to change my nature, but since it's already divided, no matter how big he makes a fuss, it has nothing to do with the head of the room next to him. ”

"Although it's divided, he can't help it." Shen Li's tone was not good, and he said categorically, "You don't have to worry about it, when this matter is over, I will find an excuse and force him to go back to the ancestral hall by himself." ”

Although Shen Rui has already come out, but Shen Yuan makes some trouble, the first thing that affects Shen Jin is Shen Jin, but it is not without influence on Shen Rui, in the end, it is his biological father, some people say it in the future, and it is inevitable that he will still hang Shen Rui.

Shen Jin's reputation in Shilin is not good now, it is really a great misfortune for Brother Rui to have such a father and brother, Shen Li has always cared about Shen Rui, and at this time, he is especially unhappy for Shen Rui, and he will not let him be flawed because of people like Shen Yuan.

Shen Rui shook his head and said, "Sixth brother, you don't have to waste your brains for such people. ”

Shen Li waved his hand and said, "You don't have to remember it." I will write to Brother Ying, Brother Qi. ”

Shen Rui knew that the sixth brother felt sorry for him, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to the sixth brother." ”

Shen Li also smiled, but said with a pretended face: "Listen to me, just read the book and compose well, don't read the miscellaneous book anymore!" But I'm going to test you. ”

Shen Rui smiled and stood up, "Obey my brother's orders." ”

Both brothers couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing, Shen Rui thought about it, and said: "I also wrote to Brother Ying, Brother Qi, in the past two months, Gongpot will always go to Beijing, and the aunt of the fourth room can be escorted to Beijing by the weaving factory, and it will also save another person in the clan." ”

Shen Li nodded in response, the four rooms were thin, and the only brother of the Xiao He family, He Pingsheng, was convicted in Liaodong, and there was no one who could escort the Xiao He family to Beijing.

When it came to Kampot, Shen Li couldn't help but think of the quarrel with the Xie family that day, and his dissatisfaction with the Xie family rose again in his heart, but when he thought of Xie's current body and bones, he could only sigh secretly.

Shen Li's house

Xie is really sick.

Not only is it a leg injury, but she is now dizzy from time to time, only to feel that the world is spinning, and her heart is always like a big stone, and the bitter medicine juice is poured bowl by bowl, and it has never improved.

Shen Mei was serving in front of her mother's bed, but Xie didn't want to see her at all, not because she didn't love her daughter, but because she felt too sorry for her daughter, as soon as she saw her, she remembered the bad marriage.

At the beginning, the Xie family ...... It clearly means that the position of the heavenly official belongs to Zhang Yuanzhen, how did it end up in Jiao Fang's hands?

And...... Wang Wei, the right waiter of the ministry, was actually promoted to the left waiter, where did he leave half a point of dignity for Zhang Yuanzhen.

It's strange that Zhang Yuanzhen can't get sick, and no one can stand such humiliation.

At the beginning, Xie only said that Zhang Yuanzhen's complaint was just a statement.

She told Shen Li to let him take gifts to visit the old lady of his in-laws, and after all, Zhang Yuanzhen is also a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, so Shen Li should visit him privately and publicly.

Shen Li was very cold, he was dissatisfied with the marriage, Zhang Yuanzhen forced Shen Jin to marry like that, Shen Li didn't want to deal with him at all.

In addition, the husband and wife are still in the cold war, and the Xie family can't, so it's not appropriate, so he also brought a generous gift.

Who knew that when I arrived at Shilang's Mansion, I realized that Zhang Yuanzhen was really sick.

Zhang Yuanzhen is seventy years old, this illness is like a mountain, and it is not light, Mrs. Zhang is in a hurry, and she works hard to take care of her husband, but she also falls ill.

The eldest grandmother Zhang and the third grandmother who came to receive it were all full of sadness, and Xie's mouth was full of coptis flavor.

Zhang Yuanzhen is not a secretary of the ministry, but always a servant of the ministry, and it is self-evident that he will help the career of the eldest grandson Zhang Wei.

However, if Zhang Yuanzhen is really sick, at such an age, he is ...... He has just lost his favor, and if he is impeached for an old and evil disease, and he is forced to become a minister, what is the good?

Xie never cared so much about the affairs of the court, and from time to time he sent people to his mother's house to inquire about the movements of the court.

As a result, he was afraid of something, and soon began to impeach Zhang Yuanzhen.

Qiu Jun was the first to fold the matter, and the beginning was to say that there was a difference in the sky, and asked His Majesty to exert himself and make a decision, respect the heavens and bow down, do not ride and shoot for entertainment, and do not slack off for the desolation, and then said that the Chinese and foreign ministers who are not in office, such as Zhang Yuanzhen, the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials and the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Wang Yan, the left waiter of the household department, and Lu Bingzhi, the secretary of the Nanjing Taichang Temple, etc., should be deposed to eliminate the disaster.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yuanzhen was impeached for being old and wasteful, mediocre, unsuccessful, and repeatedly impeached for not retiring from the virtuous ...... All kinds of bullets came one after another.

The most ruthless is Li Xi, the imperial history of the Thirteen Roads of Nanjing, who impeached Zhang Yuanzhen and asked to enter the cabinet.

Those who are co-opted and clinging to it.

Zhang Yuanzhen befriended Li Ge Lao, married Xie Ge Lao, and hooked up with his cousin Shou Ninghou Zhang's family.

The news spread from the Xie family to the ears of the Xie family, which disturbed the Xie family more and more uneasy.

This fell and broke her leg, because she lost her mind for a while, and when she went out, she stumbled on the threshold and fell down the three-step stone staircase in the air, and the strength was so great that even the little maid who was holding her was broken half of her teeth.

And now she is even more sad than the people in Zhang Shilang's Mansion.

What made her even more desperate was that when her sister-in-law, who was closest to her, came to see her, she quietly told her that Mrs. Zhang was afraid that it would not be very good, and she vaguely heard that she was afraid that there was a disease in her skull a few days ago, and people were confused for a while and understood for a while, and they didn't know people very well. Let her have a mental preparation here, and prepare some things.

Zhang Wei is the eldest grandson and the great-grandson! If my grandmother dies, she will have to keep filial piety for three years!

Sister Mei is thirteen years old, not too old, she can still wait, but ...... I can't wait for the spring of the year after tomorrow......

If Mrs. Zhang really can't get through it, she won't be able to catch up with this spring festival anyway.

Wait another three years......

Who knows what will happen to the DPRK and China in the next three years?

If...... If...... Zhang Yuanzhen is over 70 years old and is sick himself, if he is impeached and finally dies of old age, and his old wife dies, he may be able to hold on?

What if...... Three more years......

Even the young Sister Mei is going to be dragged into twenty old girls.

Looking at the well-behaved and sensible daughter who serves the decoction every day, Xie's eyes turned black for a while, and the vertigo became more and more serious.

At that time, he was angry with Shen Li for a while, and he didn't have time to think about it carefully, so he changed Geng Ti.

Why are you angry with Shen Li?

It's not because of the Shen family!

Those unconscious brothers!

Thinking of Shen Jin's marriage again, she was rejected by those Hanlin ladies, and Xie gritted his teeth with hatred.

I heard Dong's mother carefully reporting on the couch, Shen Jin's marriage is preparing to ask the four-room steproom Xiao He's to go to Beijing to manage it, and the master has written back to Songjiang, Xie snorted coldly and said: "The He family didn't have a decree, and now it's a criminal dependent, to preside over the marriage, heh, the Shouning Marquis Mansion doesn't know how to make it difficult." ”

She put one hand on her forehead, slowly rubbed her temples with her thumb, and suddenly asked Dong's mother in a low voice: "Shen Jin, the mother of the concubine...... Where are you now? ”

Dong's mother thought for a while and said, "The younger brother who was supported by the concubine in the fourth room is now in Baoding as Zhizhou. Uncle Jin was the one who was in the house. At that time, Uncle Jin was just an ordinary man, that was his biological mother, and he could pretend to be an old feudal monarch when no one cared. Uncle Hou Jin won the champion, the first emperor gave the house, how could the concubine still dare to live, so he went to Baoding Mansion to join his mother's brother. ”

Mother Dong is a delicate person specially selected by Mrs. Xie Ge for her daughter, and she is loyal, Xie is impatient to pay attention to things, she will pay attention to Xie for her, especially if the master and his wife are out of harmony, she has to pay more attention to the affairs of the Shen family for her master.

Xie Shi suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Dong's mother for a moment, and Dong's mother, who was looking directly, felt a chill inexplicably, and then lightly ordered: "Go, let me tell the concubine's ears, now there is no one in the Zhuangyuan Mansion to take care of the marriage of the champion." ”

Mother Dong's face twitched, she barely squeezed out a smile, and said carefully: "Mrs. Yuan is kind, poor Uncle Jin pity that concubine." But if that concubine is a can't be carried...... This and this...... If she comes and makes a joke, she can't write two Shen characters with this pen, and it will affect our house, won't we ...... in vain?"

Before Dong's mother finished speaking, she was frozen by Xie's cold gaze, she swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva fiercely, and finally didn't dare to say a word, lowered her head, and answered "yes".

Shouning Hou Mansion, a small pavilion in the East Courtyard Garden

After the Dragon Boat Festival, there was a hot summer weather, and it rained in the past two days, so it sent a little coolness and relieved the heat of one or two.

After being washed by the rain, the flowers and trees in the garden become more and more lush and lush, and it is pleasing to the eye.

Shouning Hou Zhang Heling was rarely so interested, sat here, listened to the sound of the gurgling rain outside, and then looked at the handsome champion Lang who was standing on the side and was very respectful, and his mood was extremely comfortable, and all kinds of unhappiness in the past few days were thrown out of the clouds.

It is said that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law and is more and more happy, and the father-in-law is generally happy when she sees a son-in-law with a bright future.

Especially thinking that his son-in-law will, with his support, one day enter the cabinet and be the assistant of the cabinet, holding great power and bringing endless benefits to the Zhang family, he is very comfortable and very happy.

"Huai Jin, don't be polite." Zhang Heling opened his mouth and called his son-in-law's expression, waved his hand with a smile, asked Shen Jin to sit down, and asked him a few words about his errand in Hanlin Academy.

Hallym Temple? Shen Jin sighed silently, he was afraid that this red luan star was a disaster star, the previous marriage had made Li Dang dissatisfied and was squeezed out in the Hanlin Academy, and the subsequent marriage actually made all the Hanlin dissatisfied...... And now the people are worthy of him...... Turn a blind eye.

But he only replied a few words without being humble or arrogant, and did not say much.

He knew very well what Shou Ninghou meant when he called him over, so he drove the servants of the Zhang family a few days ago to reprimand him. But he had already thought of a countermeasure.

This Zhang family is in a hurry to marry a daughter, and the Zhuangyuan Mansion is now only taken care of by an old servant housekeeper, and the only sister-in-law Xie who can help in Beijing is sick, and there is really no one to prepare for the marriage now. And there are very few servants in the house, and it may be difficult to do the errands and procurement.

A few days ago, Mrs. Shouninghou didn't know whether she was anxious, afraid of wronging her daughter, or for some other reason, so she didn't even greet her a few days ago, so she arranged for thirty or forty male and female servants to go to the Zhuangyuan Mansion to take over Shen Jin's family affairs.

When Shen Jin went to the office, this group of people arrived at Shen's house.

In the absence of the master, how dare the servants in the family deal with the people of the Hou Shouning Mansion, so they gave up the entire mansion to the servants of the Zhang family.

And this group of Hao slaves in the Hou Mansion have always been used to bullying people, so they don't take the Shen family in their eyes more and more, so they pick up according to the preferences of the second girl, move the furniture in the main courtyard in a mess, and call and drink to the Shen family servants, either beating or scolding, as if they are the masters.

The housekeeper Uncle Kui couldn't deal with it, so he wanted to secretly send a little maid out to report to Shen Jin, but he didn't want to be caught by the servants of the Zhang family, so he couldn't help but say anything, so he hung up the little guy and whipped him, and even tied up a big housekeeper of Uncle Kui and threw it in the stable, and kept saying that he would send you away when his uncle came back.

When Shen Jin went down, he was stunned when he saw the chaos at home.

Zhang Fugui, the head of the housekeeper, came to salute, he was in his thirties, he was a strong man, and his face was also upright, but he didn't smile on his face, and he was really not welcome, because he said: "Uncle is generous and generous, you can't help but be sloppy, and the Hou and Mrs. sent the little ones to ask the little ones to help the uncle with some things, so as not to deceive the uncle by being lazy and greedy." ”

Shen Jin's eyes suddenly turned cold, his mouth tightened, and he walked towards the courtyard without saying a word.

The servants of the Zhang family who he saw on the way greeted him with a smile, but there was no respect on his face. And his own servants cowered and hid behind, looking at him with sad and bitter eyes, but looking at the Zhang family with fear.

When he saw his unsightly upper room, saw Uncle Kui, who was tied up and thrown in the stable, with a look of anger and grief, and saw the little guy who was hung up and dying, his long-accumulated anger finally broke out.

"You guys, are you here to make a bed for Miss Zhang's second girl?" Shen Jin stared at the rich Zhang and asked coldly.

Zhang Fugui said with a smile: "My uncle is an acute child, and he hasn't reached the end of his life." ”

Shen Jin sneered and said, "I see, then you were sent by the Hou Ye to give me a dismount?" ”

Zhang Fugui pretended to be taken aback, waved his hand again and again, and said, "Uncle is laughing...... Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou are the ...... for us to serve your uncle."

Shen Jin said coldly: "Since it was sent by the Hou Mansion, why haven't I heard of it?" What are you talking about, and how can you dare to beat up my servants when you come? ”

Zhang Fugui salivated and said: "Uncle, isn't the folk also this order, this father-in-law's mother-in-law sent someone to her son-in-law's house, just like her own family, what else do you need to greet." Where is the beating, but the little ones are just disobedient subordinates for their uncle. ”

Shen Jin was extremely disgusted in his heart, and suddenly shouted: "Sheshi! ”

The chief who had been following him immediately strode forward.

Shen Jin commanded sharply: "Take my name post and report to the Shuntian Mansion, there is a strong Liang pretending to be the Marquis of Shouning, breaking into the official mansion privately, doing misdeeds, and beating up the beloved, please send someone to arrest him!" ”

Zhang Fugui was really bluffed at this time, how could he say that the bandit Qiangliang was here!

Seeing that She Shi raised his legs, he went out, hurriedly made someone stop him, walked to Shen Jin himself, and said in a loud voice: "Uncle, what do you mean by this?" Uncle, don't let down the kindness of Lord Hou and his wife! ”

Shen Jin shouted: "Bold thief, trespassing on the official mansion is already a serious crime, do you dare to pretend to be in the name of the Hou Mansion to deceive the official?!" ”

Although Shen Jin's figure is not burly, he is wearing an official robe at this time, and his face is quite official, and under the angry shouting, Zhang Fugui can't help but take two steps back.

Zhang Fugui's eyes turned a few times, and then he sneered.

He can be regarded as the son of the Hou family, his mother has a face in front of his wife, and his errand has always been good, and he also walks sideways among the people in the mansion.

Ordinary he also ran errands for Shouning Hou, and the officials who came and went looked at Hou Ye and were polite to him, so he was not afraid of any government at all, and he didn't believe that the champion guild would go to Shuntianfu to expose his family ugliness.

He stiffened his neck and retorted: "Uncle's official authority makes it difficult for the little ones to do." If my uncle doesn't accept Hou Ye's affection, doesn't he care about Hou Ye's face? ”

Shen Jin saw that Sheshi was stopped, and the other four companions were all stared at by the servants of the Zhang family, and he was extremely angry in his heart, and even suddenly bored, how could he get such a marriage, he knew that this was the case, he should have bluntly refused the marriage at the beginning, and would rather die than obey.

But what does this mean, thinking of the mess in Songjiang, how can he be willing to abandon his official position and go back to the quagmire! And when I go back, I'm afraid that I'll suffer more leisure.

He gritted his teeth, snorted coldly, and strode out.

Zhang Fugui shouted "uncle" a few times in the back, and when he saw that this uncle didn't pay attention to it, his heart was down, and he gave the left and right a look, so he asked the little guys to go over and stop people.

Shen Jin walked angrily, and when he saw someone stopping him, he shouted "presumptuous", and the little guys were intimidated by his might, and they didn't dare to really reach out to stop him.

Zhang Fugui hated and scolded his mother, and as soon as he shouted "close the door", he quickly ran over to stop Shen Jin.

Shen Jin laughed angrily, "The thieves are so capable, everyone in the Champion Mansion, you actually watched the thieves capture my Champion Mansion!" Come on, take it down for this official! ”

Since the champion mansion was given, the master was Shen Jin, and he did not add many subordinates, and there was no master mother, and the subordinates were all controlled by the housekeeper Uncle Kui.

Shen Jin has always been modest and not harsh on his subordinates, although Uncle Kui is an old man, he was just a small steward in the fourth room at the beginning, and he didn't have many skills.

And the four rooms are in good order under Sun's conditioning, but after Sun's serious illness and death, Zhang Lao'an made a mess of the four rooms, and most of the servants were slack, and Uncle Kui was not exempt from vulgarity, and such a habit inevitably spread in the Zhuangyuan Mansion.

The master is not strict, the housekeeper is not active, and the subordinates are naturally more casual.

Today, the servants of the Champion Mansion were instructed by the Zhang family to turn around, and even Uncle Kui was tied up, and the Champion Master was even stopped.

Although the champion lord commanded angrily, there were few responses, only one or two young and vigorous rolled up their sleeves and followed the old man's companion to confront the servants of the Zhang family.

Zhang Fugui's forehead also saw sweat, although the servants of the Shen family did not pose a substantial threat, but this uncle was not as weak and deceitful as rumored......

He also reacted, this one kept saying that they were thieves, and it was obvious that if they didn't recognize them as servants of the Hou Mansion, it wasn't that they were going to suffer if they went out, and the champion wanted to catch the thief, and the Hou Ye couldn't say anything.

But there was no way out when he raised his eyes, Zhang Fugui could only forcibly carry out Shou Ninghou and said, "How dare the little ones stop their uncle from going out?" However, the uncle is disrespectful to the Hou Ye, and the little ones can't be ignored, right? In front of the Hou Ye, the little ones also have to say a thing or two! ”

Shen Jin saw that a slave dared to bite back, his words were threatening, and he was even more angry, his fists were clenched, and he couldn't wait to punch him in the face, and shouted categorically: "Get out!" How dare a cheap slave stop me! ”

In the midst of the stalemate, a servant woman rushed over like a whirlwind, looking forty or fifty years old, but this vigorous pace was seriously inconsistent with her age.

She ran very quickly, her hair was loose and she was out of breath, and she was followed by a little maid with a few hairpin rings in her clothes, and it was the servant woman who ran away with all the silver hairpins on her head.

The servant woman ran to Shen Jin in three steps and two steps, saluted hastily, and without waiting for her breath, she said, "Auntie...... Uncle, the old slaves are ...... Madame sent ...... Serving my uncle. Uncle, what's unsatisfactory...... Although talking to the old slave...... The old slave let them ...... Change...... It's ...... instead."

"Change, come?" Shen Jin's eyes were already flushed with a layer of red bloodshots, which made the always delicate and gentle face look a little terrifying, and he asked rhetorically word by word.

The servant woman nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, my uncle commanded." ”

Shen Jin suddenly burst into a shout: "Then get out of here!" Take your people and get out of here! ”

The servant woman was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly argued: "Uncle, this is ......."

Zhang Fugui said behind the servant woman, "Mother, my aunt doesn't accept the love of the marquis at all." ”

The servant woman immediately widened her eyes, but she gave Zhang Fugui a big ear scraper when she returned her hand, and scolded in her mouth: "Bastard, my uncle doesn't know the hard work of the Hou Ye, won't you say that you will listen to your uncle?" Why did you make my uncle so angry? ”

This servant woman is Zhang Fugui's mother-in-law, one of Mrs. Shouninghou's henchmen, and Zhang Jincheng's family.

Zhang Fugui covered his face, his eyes were shining, but he said aggrievedly: "Mother, it's really not bad for me...... It's my aunt......"

Shen Jin saw that they were playing double reeds here, so he didn't even bother to say anything, ignored them anymore, and walked straight out.

Zhang Fugui and his mother didn't care about acting, and chased after them with shouts, Zhang Jincheng's family was much more sophisticated than her son, and ordered the little maid to go over and kneel down in front of Shen Jin and hug her legs.

Shen Jin was annoyed, no matter how much he didn't abide by the gentleman's style, he would kick the two of them when he raised his legs, the maids were not stupid, seeing their companions rolling around with their stomachs, they were obviously kicked hard, no matter how urgent they were, they wouldn't really rush over.

Seeing that Shen Jin was about to walk to the door of the mansion, Zhang Jincheng's family was really afraid, it didn't matter what happened in the mansion, if he was allowed to go out and stop drinking on the street, the face of the Shouning Hou Mansion would be gone.

It is true that the reputation of the Hou Mansion in the market is not very good, and it is not bad for this one, but how can the Hou Ye let them live if they are a few people who cause trouble? !

She...... She snatched her head to get this errand...... It's not like you're here to lose your head!

The second girl's nurse was rejected by Mrs. Hou after the banquet, and at the beginning, Mrs. Hou chose another person among her henchmen and servants to serve the second girl.

All decent servants know that the second girl is not easy to get along, and after the banquet, she is even more perverse, and it is really a chore to raise her mother, so she secretly shirks her strength, but soon there is news that the second girl is engaged to the champion father, and in an instant, this errand of raising a mother immediately becomes fragrant.

Who doesn't know that there is no one in charge of the Zhuangyuan family, and the second girl has never been a person who loves to take care of affairs, and she married as a parenting mother, that is, the big housekeeper in the Zhuangyuan Mansion.

Although the Shen family is not as luxurious as the Hou Mansion, it is also a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the family has a lot of money, and how could Mrs. Hou treat her daughter badly, and she values the son-in-law of the champion, so she naturally marries more.

This Jin Chengjia has a good calculation, fighting for this son, the family follows, the old man is the chief manager, the two sons are the little manager, he is the internal manager, and the champion mansion is not what their family says!

With the help of the Hou Mansion, the future of the aunt who was originally the champion is limitless, and his family will not follow him in the future.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I came over, I was hit like this.

This champion uncle, why is he so unpopular?!

Zhang Jincheng rushed over, used all his strength to hug Shen Jin's legs, and said urgently: "Uncle, what are you doing!" But it took the life of the old slave. ”

Shen Jin was hugged by her legs, stood firmly, and asked again: "Tomorrow, are you going to stop me from going to the government?" ”

Zhang Jincheng's scalp tightened, and he ...... Tomorrow...... Tomorrow the champion is going to the court, how can he stop it?

She was only thinking about the moment, she felt that if she stopped her uncle, talked about the truth, and carried the Hou Ye out, this uncle, who heard that he was born as a concubine and had no confidence, should be appeased or frightened.

But, but ...... It's just now......

She was still calculating, and suddenly heard Shen Jin above her head in a slow, but extremely cold voice, "What is the crime of imprisoning the court officials?" Acquaintances, get out with your people. Otherwise, tomorrow, the Hou Mansion will certainly lose face, and you don't know if you will lose your head. ”

Zhang Jincheng's body trembled, and he unconsciously let go.

Shen Jin stepped out, but he didn't walk anymore, raised his hand and pointed to the door, and looked at Zhang Jincheng's family coldly.

Zhang Jincheng's family slowly got up, and wailed in his heart that he was afraid that he would be broken today, so he should hurry back and file a complaint with his wife before the champion went to the Hou Mansion to complain, so as not to suffer a loss.

After thinking about it, she dusted off her clothes and said, "Uncle, I am the second girl's parenting mother, to put it mildly, I grew up watching the second girl." The second girl is the pearl of our Hou Ye and Mrs. in the palm of her hand, Mrs. This is the love of the house and Wu, and she feels sorry that her uncle has no one to take care of her, so she sent the old slave to wait. Mrs. treats her uncle as a girl, she doesn't want to, her uncle is so inconsiderate of the elders, and the old slave is also cold, so the old slave will go back to his life. ”

As he spoke, he gave his son a look, slapped his hands again, and ordered the servants of the Zhang family to come to the front yard and go back together.

Zhang Fugui was no longer unwilling, and he couldn't go against his mother's wishes, and he also knew that things were stiff today, and there would be no good results, so he also gathered people and left with his mother.

The people of the Zhang family withdrew, and the door was hurriedly bolted to the door, and the people of the Zhuangyuan Mansion breathed a long sigh of relief.

Everyone has different thoughts, some people think that his mother will enter the door on the other day, and he doesn't know what will happen on this day, and he is afraid that he will be bullied by the Zhang family, so he can't help but have a sad face.

Some people think that after the master mother enters the door, she is under the control of the master mother, and whether she can be as majestic as those people.

Shen Jin stood in place, took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then walked to the back, personally untied Uncle Kui, said "I have wronged you", and asked the injured little guy to ask for medicine.

Uncle Kui burst into tears, knelt at Shen Jin's feet and blamed himself for being incompetent, even pleaded guilty, and persuaded Shen Jin: "The master can't be against the elders, so let's ask the eldest lady of the second room to be the master of the house." ”

Shen Jin's heart swelled with sorrow, thinking of the situation when Shen Rui learned that he should have a relationship with the Zhang family, and thinking of the rumor that Shen Luo was killed by the Marquis of Jianchang, how could he still have the face to beg the eldest aunt of the second room to be such a master for him?

Even when he first thought about asking Shangshu Mansion to borrow some servants, this idea was now completely dispelled.

The bitter fruit brewed by oneself can only be tasted by oneself.

Shen Jin still let Uncle Kui take charge of the affairs of the house, but he left Sheshi and asked him to train the male servants in the house well.

At the beginning of the next day, he went to the Hanlin Courtyard as usual, and did not go to Zhang's house at all.

However, it was said that Zhang Jincheng's family slipped back to the Shouning Marquis Mansion with people, so he knelt down to his wife's side, tears and snot, and explained how the champion did not understand his wife's compassion, but used them instead, and said to his wife that he was inconsiderate of his wife's kindness.

Mrs. Shouninghou was naturally furious and sent someone to the Zhuangyuan Mansion to ask Shen Jin to come and talk back.

I didn't want Shen Jin to go to the Hanlin Courtyard and not be in the house, but when the door of the Zhuangyuan Mansion heard that it was the Zhang family, he refused to even open the door.

The servant was annoyed, knocked a few times, but did not open the door, but saw the surrounding neighbors probing their brains, the servant was still a little measured, and did not want people to see the excitement, so he had to stomp his feet and turn away.

Naturally, there is nothing good to say to Mrs. Shou Ninghou when I go back.

Mrs. Shouning Hou slapped the table and sent people to the Hanlin Courtyard to block people, saying that she would call Shen Jin to the Hou Mansion anyway.

This time, the people saw Shen Jin, but they didn't want Shen Jin to say lightly, he was busy with official business, and he would see him at the Hou Mansion another day.

In this way, Mrs. Shouninghou is not angry, she is not a brainless person, Shen Jin dares to blatantly not give face to Shouninghou's mansion, there must be something strange in it. Either her people did something stupid, or ...... Marriages are about to change.

Her daughter can't afford another marriage blow!

So, this matter was finally put in front of Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning.

On the one hand, Zhang Heling scolded his subordinates for being stupid and stupid like pigs, and good things can be done badly, rewarding Zhang Fugui and his wife, and on the other hand, he also secretly figured out Shen Jin's intentions, you know...... Zhang Yuanzhen is not far away, so he doesn't want to clear up the relationship.

Zhang Heling's staff felt that Zhang Heling was too worried, "The champion has come to pay tribute with great fanfare, the world knows about this marriage, and there is also praise in the palace, if you want to repeat it at this time, isn't it a villain's behavior?!" Even if the Hou Mansion doesn't retaliate against him, he will be scolded to death by the world, where is there a future to speak of. ”

Zhang Heling only sighed: "What can I do now? It was meant to be a helper, but it was better not to attract an enemy. ”

A staff member said with a smile: "Miscellaneous affairs in the house, talk more about anger for a while, the champion is the best among the smart people in the world, how can he be short-sighted and only look at this little thing in the courtyard." Hou Ye can't give him a great future for others, how can he not be grateful to Hou Ye......" said a few words.

Zhang Heling praised it very much, acted according to the plan, and asked a staff member with a reputation to personally invite Shen Jin to come to the house for a while.

Shen Jin was helpless, but he also knew that he couldn't escape reality, so he had to come.

Zhang Heling heard him talk about the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, stroked his beard and nodded, and said in the demeanor of an elder: "You are the best at learning, but you have been in the Hanlin Academy for a year, and you have become more and more sophisticated. ”

Shen Jin was mentally prepared to wait for Shou Ninghou to be scolded, and he couldn't imagine that he would be able to hear these words.

The emperor's daily speaker! It's an errand that all Hanlin dreams of! It's a great honor!

He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then an inexplicable excitement surged in his heart.

But soon, he cooled down, without it, since the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese lecturers have all been senior scholars of the Hanlin Academy.

Even if he is the top talent, his qualifications in the Hanlin Academy are pitifully shallow, even if he doesn't see him as the son-in-law of his relatives, and doesn't mention that he has offended Li Gelao, the cabinet will not pass.

Choosing a day for the emperor is not a concubine, and it is not something that the queen mother can decide in a word.

Zhang Heling watched his face change, thinking that this uncle was still young, everything was on his face, and he lacked experience, but he smiled kindly: "What's the matter, what else does Huai Jin have to worry about?" ”

Shen Jin bowed down and said: "Jin is lucky, he is loved by Emperor Xian, and he is the champion, but he really can't be compared with the great Confucianism of Zhuhan Lin, and he is probably not worthy of being a Japanese lecturer." ”

Zhang Heling had also discussed various situations with his staff earlier, and he knew what to expect, so he smiled and said: "In front of my family, Huai Jin doesn't have to be modest. Your knowledge is more than enough for the emperor to give lectures. You don't have to worry about the cabinet saying that you have little qualifications, the queen mother and the emperor have already agreed, the emperor is willing to study, and a Hanlin day lecturer is added, and the cabinet is too late to be happy, and he will not object. ”

Shen Jin was stunned again, and Zhang Heling's action was also faster.

However, considering that the DPRK and China have recently written to accuse the emperor of indulging in frolic and wanton hunting, if the emperor can change his mind and read the sage's article, it will be too late for the cabinet to be happy.

Zhang Heling said again: "Our family is wholeheartedly good for the emperor. The Queen Mother also said that it is better to have a few more relatives around the emperor than a few more outsiders, Huai Jin, do you say yes or no? After you speak for the emperor, you must do your duty as a courtier, do your relatives, and assist the emperor well. ”

Shen Jin's heart is bright, but the Zhang family has set up an eye and an eye and a lobbyist around the emperor to guide the emperor to get close to the Zhang family.

But so what?

The day speaker is the best step to enter the body, as long as you can show your ambitions in your chest, what a small moderation!

Besides, the Zhang family asked him to be his eyes and ears and lobbyist, so he is the eyes and ears and lobbyist? Joke!

Shen Jin immediately stood up and said, "Hou Ye, rest assured, Jin will do his best to assist the Holy Lord." ”

Zhang Heling high-fived and smiled: "Very good, very good!" ”

But he said unintentionally: "Your stepbrother has a lot of tricks, and he is quite good at coaxing the emperor to be happy, and he has also gained a lot of benefits." You should also learn a thing or two, the emperor is young, this young man, he doesn't like those who die to study, so you should tell more historical stories and stories with him, you must know how to be flexible......"

Regoer? Shen Jin was stunned for a moment, his heart was mixed, and he bowed silently to show his response.

Weng and his son-in-law talked for a while, but Zhang Heling never said anything about the conflict in advance, and even when Shen Jin said goodbye, he never mentioned that he should go to see Mrs. Shouninghou, and Shen Jin couldn't help but secretly wonder.

But this is better, and Shen Jin is also relieved.

When he resigned, the rain did not stop, and Zhang Heling left food again and asked him to wait for the rain to stop before leaving.

He didn't want to stay longer, but he said that it was rainy these days, and he didn't know when it would stop.

Zhang Heling had no choice but to give up and let him go.

The little girl who led the way said that there was no verandah to go out of, and wanted to take him through the garden.

Shen Jin hadn't actually visited the garden of the Hou Mansion yet, but he didn't mind.

Because the rain has gradually decreased, he does not wear a poncho, but only holds an umbrella by himself, steps on clogs, strolls among the branches and grasses, craggy and strange stones, and enjoys the beautiful scenery of the courtyard, and does not feel happy and forgetful.

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of clogs stepping on the stone slab on one side, Shen Jin subconsciously looked sideways, and saw that it was a group of maids and servants coming, expecting that there were female dependents, but there was no way to avoid here, and it was not good to walk away quickly, and saw the little girl who led the way standing with his hands down, he had to stand silently with his eyes down.

He didn't know that this glance had already amazed the girls opposite.

What a handsome young man, clear and handsome!

A very ordinary green robe, but wearing it on him looks very dusty, an oil-paper umbrella, with this smoke and rain, is like a Jiangnan ink painting, which makes people forget the vulgar!

The maid who started the head was also stunned, and in a trance she seemed to hear the voice of the master girl coming from behind, like a dream: "That person...... Who is it? ”

It seemed that someone had pushed her, and the maid who hit the head woke up suddenly, hurriedly picked up the shelf, and asked sharply, "Who is in front?" ”

The little girl who led the way here replied respectfully: "Back to my sister's words, it is the Hou Ye who asked the second aunt to speak to the Champion Yuangong, and let the little one lead the way out of the mansion for the Champion Gong." ”

The maid said "ah", hurriedly covered her mouth again, turned around and asked with her eyes, saw the big girl nodding slowly, and said loudly: "Champion Gong Wanfu, the maid is rude." The maidservants went with the second girl to deliver fruits to the Hou Ye. ”

Two girls!

Shen Jin's heart shrank suddenly, resisted the urge to raise his head, lowered his eyes, bowed his head silently, and said, "Rushed into the girl, forgive the sin!" ”

He was talking casually, but this moist voice unique to Jiangnan couldn't help but feel a palpitation in the ears of the girls in Beijing.

There was a sound of clogs, and the skirt was clear, as if it was a return gift, but there was no reply.

In the end, it was the maid who said loudly: "The champion is please." ”

Xiao Mi'er made a gesture of please, Shen Jin didn't raise his eyes to look, only bowed his head slightly over there, and hurriedly followed Xiao Mi'er.

After walking out for a long time, I heard the sound of clogs again.

On the blue light upstairs of the Hou Shouning Mansion, the windows on all sides are wide open, and the south wind is rolling the rain and surging in, bringing in the room full of refreshment, and Mrs. Hou Shouning is touching the leaves with a few servants and maids to kill time.

A mother-in-law quietly went upstairs and came to Mrs. Shouninghou.

Mrs. Shou Ninghou showed a nervous look on her face, hurriedly waved her hand to stop the game, sent people down, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The mother-in-law blessed her body and said with a smile: "The people around the girl said that when they heard the girl talking to herself, she couldn't learn it when she was only a crepe, probably saying that seeing her aunt was like seeing Jiangnan." ”

Mrs. Shouninghou sneered and laughed, and said again and again: "What are you learning?" ”

Although he was angry, he was happy at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows when he spoke, his hands were folded, and he chanted Buddha in his mouth: "I set up a screen early and told her to look, but she refused to do it!" I've seen it a long time ago, and I like it, how can you trouble me for so long! Amitabha, blessed by the Buddha, is finally peaceful. Now I can give her a good ceremony, oops, I'm really afraid that she will come up and make a fuss at the ceremony, this is good, this is good......"

couldn't help complaining: "If she had been so worry-free, I would have sent someone to talk to her first, but my aunt would be dissatisfied, and Hou Ye would also be disgusted with me!" But both sides have fallen into good ......"

The mother-in-law smiled and explained to Mrs. Shouninghou, and said a lot of things that made her laugh.

Mrs. Shouninghou was overjoyed for a while, suddenly lowered her face, stared at the mother-in-law, and said viciously: "Wu Xitong and Nizi will come back in two days, you give me instructions, no one is allowed to tell Sister Xian about Wu Xitong's entry into the palace, who thinks her tongue is long, I will help her cut it clean!" ”
