"Are you waiting?" Shen Rui listened to Changfu's reply, was noncommittal, waved his hand and sent Changfu down

Chunyan brought a plate of glutinous rice cakes and a plate of fried cabbage buns, and the tea had already been prepared. Shen Rui ate two steamed buns and a few glutinous rice cakes with tea. Now that he is growing his body, his voice is not as hoarse as it was in the previous two years, but the amount of food has increased greatly, even if he eats three meals a day, he has to add one or two meals a day.

Shen Ruiyin was studying in the study when he was at home, and he didn't like these soups and waters, so he changed his tricks to send snacks over from the kitchen.

Since the beating of Shen Jue, several elders in the family have been eyeing Shen Rui, and they can't wait to leave without looking away, for fear that there will be something that is not taken care of. Although Shen Rui was uncomfortable being stared at, he also knew that the elders were well-intentioned, so he also received it silently.

Although he was no longer hungry in his stomach, Shen Rui couldn't see the book while holding it.

In other months, the camp burial has been two months old and the spirit has come out again, so it must be impossible to see; Shen Jue left in the winter moon, buried for just two months, and now the north is cold, and it has not thawed.

Thinking about digging Shen Jue out and transporting it back to Songjiang for thousands of miles, although Shen Rui couldn't say that his pores were terrifying, he was also a little uncomfortable.

Besides, it was Shen again, the person who broke Shen Jue's heart last summer. It's just that Shen Rui is dissatisfied with Shen Zai, and Shen Rui will not care about it at this time, thinking of this, he can't help but say to himself: "It's cheaper for him"

The next day, when the two brothers met, they both had their own thoughts, but they were still kind on their faces.

Shen Rui looked at Shen Jue's face, and he didn't want to let the second room and the sect room get deeper and deeper; Shen thought too much, for fear of offending Shen Rui, Shen Rui handed small words in front of the elders of Shangshu Mansion to obstruct Shen Jue's return to the sect.

"The cold winter and the moon are on the road, Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are on the road, and the brothers of the two clans are hard." Shen Rui said politely.

Shen Dao: "It should have been, but it was too late to get the news over there, or I would have entered Beijing early...

In the end, I couldn't hold back, and there was some complaint in my tone. Although Songjiang is two thousand miles away from the capital, if you really want to deliver the news quickly, where can it take a month? Last year, the grandfather of Zongfang passed away, and he sent the housekeeper to gallop into Beijing, but it was only ten days away.

In Shen's opinion, Shangshu Mansion's arrangement was just relying on official authority. If you change to other houses, how can you dare to snub the sect like this?

Although Shen Rui had no intention of deepening the rift between the second room and the sect room, he didn't want to let the sect room pour dirty water on the second room.

Shen Cang and the Xu family can not care about the reputation of Shangshu Mansion and not stop Shen Jue from returning to the sect, which is already kind enough, if the sect wants to care too much, it will be suspected of gaining an inch. After all, the Shen family is not just these two rooms, there are other clansmen watching, even if Shen Jue's death is not obvious to everyone, but it is unwarranted to say that the elders of the second room are domineering and look down on the clansmen.

Shen Rui picked the corners of his mouth and said, "Our lord and wife specially arranged for the big housekeeper to go south, is the big housekeeper still delayed on the road?" He is the most loyal to our lord and wife, and since he has gone out on an errand, how can he not be unsatisfied? Is there any misunderstanding between the two brothers? If there is something wrong with him, read that he is on the teeth, and ask the second brother to be considerate. ”

Shen listened and couldn't help but lower his face. He obviously said that the elders of Shangshu Mansion had not arranged properly, but Shen Rui pushed it on the big housekeeper. If he cares, it seems that he is holding on to the old butler who is thousands of miles away to report the funeral.

The words were not speculative, and both of them raised their tea at the same time.

Shen took a sip, put down the teacup, lowered his eyelids and said: "I respect my father's intention to come to Beijing, and I want to come to your mansion The housekeeper has already mentioned it, I don't know what the uncle and aunt of the second room clan mean?" ”

"Huh? The brothers of the two clans entered Beijing, not to worship Brother Jue'er? Shen Rui said in surprise.

Shen was stunned, raised his head, and looked at Shen Rui.

Shen Rui's expression didn't seem to be fake, Shen was a little unsure, and hesitated: "Could it be that Steward Li didn't return to the clan uncle and aunt?" ”

Shen Rui was still ignorant: "What do you want to do?" In addition to worshiping Brother Jue, what else can the two brothers fail to do when they enter Beijing? But for the sake of the big clan brothers, it's not a few months away? ”

Shen was really surprised this time, I thought that Shen Rui was on the orders of Shen Cang and the Xu family, but obviously this was not the case, and Shen Rui seemed to have no idea that the sect wanted Shen Jue to return to the sect.

Shen's heart sank.

He coped happily in front of his father, and he didn't complain about the hard work all the way, the only thing he was worried about was the reaction of Shangshufu.

Since the succession three years ago, whether it is from the law or from the human feelings, Brother Jue is no longer the grandson of the sect, and the life and death fight is not the same as the sect. If the elders on the side of Shangshu Mansion don't nod, he won't be able to take away Jue Ge'er's remains.

In front of Shen Rui, Shen Cang and Xu didn't mention this matter, because they thought it was ridiculous and impossible at all, so they didn't mention it?

Shen made up for a while, but he was startled. Although he brought more than a dozen servants to Beijing, the old mansion here can also draw some people out, but this is the capital, not Songjiang. He himself is just a small person, and the eldest master of Shangshu Mansion is a second-grade Jingtang. Even if he is the brother of Brother Jue, regardless of his status, he is only a relative, and he is just a nephew of the old man of Shangshu Mansion. Shen Cangle agreed with him, he could enter the Shangshu Mansion, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to enter the gate.

Shen Rui saw that his face changed, and he sneered in his heart.

Even if Shen Cang and Xu were generous and had no intention of stopping this matter, it couldn't be this posture.

Even if Shen Jue's death caused the Zongfang to be difficult to break, this request was also difficult. That is, when they meet Shen Cang and Xu, they are all generous and inconsiderate people, so they will not care about the sect, and if they change to others, it is not uncommon for Bo Gongtang to tear their faces.

What the sect relied on was nothing more than the patriarch's old affection and the guilt of the elders in the second room towards Shen Jue.

Seeing Shen's attitude, even if the second room is now obedient to the Zongfang's requirements, I am afraid that it will not be able to fall into the next one's favor, which will only make them feel more and more that the second room is unreasonable.

Even if the second room has no intention of having a deeper disagreement with the sect room, there is no relationship between them and them. Shen Rui thought like this, so he responded like this.

The Xu family was worried that Shen Si would go to the camp and disturb the clansmen, but Shen Rui was not afraid. It's okay to mix everyone together, Shen Cang and Xu's generosity and generosity, and they still said that it was better in front of people, and it was also saved that Zongfang would accuse the second room of this matter later.

It's no wonder that Shen Rui took precautions, he didn't have a good impression of Shen and Shen in the sect, these two brothers, one is greedy for power and the other is greedy for money, if they hit the snake stick, the two rooms will always have a time to tear their faces. He didn't want Shen Jue to be uneasy when he left, and he would continue to be taken out and used to talk about it.

Shen himself scared himself, he no longer had the momentum to take the lead, and said with a deep pain on his face: "Brother Jue was the closest to Hengyun before, and I really feel sorry for Brother Jue when I think of Hengyun." Jue Ge'er loves his grandfather the most, and the two have been together for more than ten years, and their ancestors and grandchildren have a deep affection. Although the grandfather can't let go of Brother Jue before he dies, can Brother Jue let go of the grandfather? Although it's late now, I guess Brother Jue is also willing to return to his hometown......"

Seeing that Shen was "moved by emotion", Shen Rui raised his eyebrows and said: "The last sentence of the second clan brother is wrong, when he came from Songjiang in August last year, Brother Jue said that he didn't want to go back to Songjiang again......"

Shen Jue did say something similar, Shen Rui didn't say it nonsense, but it was just a momentary angry talk.

Shen Ben looked at Shen Rui with a sincere face, and his expression couldn't help but freeze at this time.

He already felt guilty about his younger brother, and when he heard this, he only felt a prickly prickle in his heart, and Mu Mu couldn't speak.

Shen Rui accepted it when he saw it, got up and said: "The second brother came from afar, the journey is tired, and the little brother will not bother...... Wait for a few days for our lord to rest, and then put the wine for the second brother to catch the wind......"

Shen was distraught, and he had no intention of keeping guests, so he got up and sent Shen Rui out.

However, after sending the guests back, Shen had calmed down.

Even if Brother Jue said something like that, don't you know her brother's temper? He is the most homely. The reason why he obediently became the second heir without making a big fuss three years ago was because this was the arrangement between the grandfather and his father, and he was unwilling to disobey his elders.

Shen touched his chin, it seems that the second room is not as easy to talk as he imagined, he should go and see the brothers in Beijing. Shen Li didn't want to be familiar with it, so it was not good to come to the door suddenly, but the relationship between the fifth room and the sect room was close. It's just that Shen Ying is also an official now, and I don't know if I'm not at home, so I need to ask someone to inquire in advance......

Back at Shangshu Mansion, Shen Rui went to the upper room.

Sister Yu is also there, discussing a gift list with the Xu family. Hearing that there were some food supplements and other items on it, Shen Rui asked, "This is for the second clan brother over there?" ”

Xu nodded and said, "I heard the big housekeeper say that my brother is not tolerant of the northern climate. There is no serious person in charge of the old house of the sect, he came in a hurry, and he is afraid that no one will prepare for food and clothing, plus some medicinal materials to clear the lungs and relieve cough, which is a little bit of our mind as elders. I only remembered this today, or it would have been cheaper to bring it with you when you passed by in the morning. ”

Shen Rui hesitated for a moment and said, "The preparation is also prepared, but according to what my son said, it is better to send it a few days later." ”

Xu frowned and said, "But Shen is not kind to you today?" ”

She returned to the province and lived in the sect house for a few days, so she knew Shen. She thought that Shen was sleek, even if he brought a "reluctant invitation" to Beijing, he would not really let the Zongfang and the second room tear their faces, even if they were invited, they would be tactful.

It can be seen that Shen Rui's reaction is obviously not the case.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was heavy, and the faces of the heir mother and the heir brother were not good, Sister Yu couldn't sit still, stood up and whispered: "Mother, why don't you talk to the second brother and your daughter go down first?" ”

Xu shook his head and said, "No, let's listen to it...... Although the Mao family is not a family of eunuchs, it is not a small family, and there will be few relatives to come and go in the future......"

Sister Yu'er's face was slightly red, so she lowered her head and sat down again.

Shen Rui said: "Zongfang has a lot of resentment against Brother Jue'er's death, and Shen's words have a lot of blame for his mother and master...... Mother and master are certainly generous, but some things should be put in the open. There are many causes and effects of Brother Jue'er's illness, although the elders here are not thoughtful in taking care of them, and the sect is not without faults......"

Xu Shi Yixing said: "Everyone is gone, what's the point of caring about this?" ”

Shen Rui said: "It's not that my son likes to care, but I don't want the gap between the two rooms to be deeper." People love to shirk their responsibilities, if the mother and the lord blame themselves for their mistakes because of guilt, I am afraid that the eldest master of the clan and the two clan brothers will also think so...... In this way, the two rooms can only drift apart, and the gap is deepening, even if Jue Ge'er knows underground, he definitely doesn't want to be ...... like this."
