Shen Juren listened to the words of the eldest master of the sect, and he was a little jealous of the He family. However, he didn't think that the eldest master of Zongfang was "doing the east" today because he was considerate of the four rooms and helped to "prevent problems before they happen", but he had his own selfishness.

The eldest lord of the He family may be promoted to the sixth department, and the eldest brother of the sect is the official of the sixth department, and the two families are very likely to become subordinate and subordinate relationships in addition to the relationship between in-laws. It is not so much that the eldest master of the sect is eliminating the grievances between the fourth room and the He family, but rather that it is to eliminate the suspicion between the Shen family and the He family.

When Shen Juren thought of this, he couldn't help but be angry, but he felt that he was not a short-sighted person, and he would also know the general situation.

Regarding the next proposal of the eldest master of the sect, Shen Juren was not so resistant. According to the rhetoric of the eldest master of the sect, marriage is the best way to resolve the grievances of the two families.

It would be too rash for the He family to casually introduce a girl from the side branch, but there are no unmarried daughters in the same generation of the He family, so the compromise is to adopt the little lady in the side branch. The adopted daughter of the He family's concubine, not to mention being a step-room for Shen Juren, is the original match. You must know that Lu Dao did such a family thing, Shen Juren has an extra Jiuqing uncle, and Shen Jin and Shen Rui brothers also have more decent outsiders.

Shen Juren was thrilled.

It's not that he doesn't want to remarry in the past two years, but there has been no suitable candidate. Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous wife, taking a concubine and accepting a face, he is not very picky about his appearance, mainly because he has learned a lesson from the Zhang family丨 He does not want to marry a broken family again.

A Zhang family made a fuss, and half of the wealth of the four-room family was scattered; If there is another similar one, the four-room defeat is imminent. But if it is a family with a wealthy family and a decent dowry, what kind of relatives can't be found, why do you need to fill the house for Shen Juren, a half-old man?

In Shen Juren's opinion, Shen Li was arrogant because he was a character official, and there was an old father-in-law behind him; The eldest lady of the fifth room has a straight waist in the clan, and she is a good son who has won fame.

Sifang has been a man with his tail between his legs in the past few years, isn't there no help?

The master of the sect said what he should say, and he didn't talk when he should mention it.

When He Nansheng came in again, he found that Shen Juren's attitude was different, and he couldn't help but admire the eldest master of the sect. He saw that Shen Juren's personality was a little roundabout and not easy to change, if there was no master of the sect to make peace, the two of them would really not be speculative.

Shen Juren has a very good face, even if he has already agreed to the proposal of the eldest master of the sect in his heart, he will not soften in front of He Nansheng. However, he didn't dare to be as tough as Fang Cai, for fear of really offending the He family and causing the He family to have another bad day. His face was solemn for a while, and he was smiling for a while, and he looked more and more weird.

When the wine and food came up, the three of them had their own thoughts, and they were much more silent, and the atmosphere on the wine table was not strong.

The eldest master of the sect had a heart, and the late Xiao He thought of his youngest son Shen Jue. When the first few children were born, he was still young, and although he was happy to have children, he didn't attach much importance to them; waited until the year when he was not confused, and the eldest grandson had all of them, and he began to feel sorry for his children.

Shen Jue is considered to be the eldest of him and the grandfather's father and son, and the eldest master of the sect is more painful. He wants his youngest son to pass the second room, not because he wants to calculate anything about the second room through this matter, but out of the heart of the pity.

The He family cares about the eldest son and eldest grandson in the capital, and is also kind to the second son and second daughter-in-law who serve by his side, but he is still cold and indifferent to Shen Jue. The same blood, such a difference in intimacy and intimacy, Shen Jue is big, even if he is filial and does not complain about his biological mother, and he does not speak when he is wronged, what about his daughter-in-law in the future? What about the grandchildren and granddaughters of this branch in the future? Do you want to be wronged?

When the time comes, if something is not appropriate, the flesh and blood will turn against each other, how can the lord not worry.

It is the best way to succeed Shen Jue out of the house, there is no male heir in the second room and three branches, no matter whether Shen Jue inherits the first room or is a concurrent, he is the son who supports the portal, and he will get the attention of his parents, which is much stronger than being a penniless young son in the sect.

But the patriarch said it, and what he said was not unreasonable, even if the eldest master of the sect was full of calculations, he could only stop. Although he is at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he knows that his old man's temper is the most unambiguous and cannot be disobeyed, otherwise his second brother will be a lesson from the past.

Shen Juren still drooped his face, eating and drinking with a mouthful and a bite, but he was faintly excited in his heart.

There are no cousins in the fourth room, and they need the help of their right-hand parents. Originally, he planned to wait for Shen Jin to find a capable wife for Shen Jin after he passed the township test next year, but he never thought of himself.

After the Sun family passed away that year, Shen Juren wanted to find a big surname and a concubine or a little lady from the side branch to fill the house, but the matchmaker selected a few candidates, either the little lady herself was insufficient, or the family background was really poor. There are one or two families with good backgrounds, but they are not scholars, and the other party is not interested in him as an old man, but for Shen Jin, Shen Juren is really angry half to death.

No matter which room the little lady of the He family comes from, as long as she is adopted as an adopted daughter by the He family's family, then her mother's house will be the He family's room, and the one who walks around with the Shen family's four rooms is also the He family's room. You must know that although the eldest lady of the sect is the daughter of the He family, she is not the eldest daughter of the eldest house, but the eldest daughter of the second room. If this family affair is completed, then the eldest master of the He family is Shen Juren's brother-in-law, and the relationship between the He family's concubine and the Shen family's fourth room is even closer than that of the Shen family's clan.

He Nansheng is also thinking about gains and losses, how much silver can be made with a decent dowry? 1. 20,000 taels at the end, but he can erase the past, and he has rightfully become the foreign family of Shen Jin and Shen Rui's brothers. No matter where the two brothers go, they have to be respectful and polite to the He family......

As the days passed, the weather became colder, the more charcoal burned in the school, and the atmosphere recovered from deserted to lively.

Shen Rui did not move over to sit with Shen Jia, and now the two of them are occupying the double table, in addition to the two of them, Guo Sheng is sitting alone, because Shen did not come to class.

Whoever leaves can live, the iron classroom, the flowing students, everyone's attention is attracted by the Christmas festival of the Great Compassion Temple on the 17th, and they meet in twos and threes to go to the temple fair to play.

During the recess of the day, Shen Jue came over triumphantly and whispered: "Brother Rui, come out with me, I have good things to show you"

Shen Rui rubbed his wrist and came out of the classroom with Shen Jue.

The air outside is damp and cold, which makes people smart. Shen Rui tightened his clothes and said, "What is a good thing, but you still have to avoid people?" ”

Shen Jue was not in a hurry to answer, pulled Shen Rui to the shelter behind the east chamber, and took out a small red silk purse the size of a walnut from his purse. When the small purse was opened, a red rope was revealed, and a pigeon-egg-sized mutton fat jade Buddha was tied to the red rope.

Shen Rui has played with a lot of jade in his previous life, and he can see at a glance that this jade Buddha is not ordinary, not only the jade material is oily, but the carving is also extremely fine, and the Buddha's face is loving and lifelike. He rubbed his thumb and asked, "Where did it come from?" It's really a good thing, this is old, such a carving, similar to the outline of the Ten Thousand Buddha Caves, the age can be broken to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it can be counted as three or four hundred years old."

Shen Jue was proud at first, and he was confused when he listened: "What is old?" What is the Ten Thousand Buddha Caves? What is Rego talking about? ”

Shen Rui was asked, is this Ten Thousand Buddha Cave Grottoes known now?

Shen Jue reacted to himself: "Brother Rui meant, this is something from a hundred years ago, obediently, isn't that a family heirloom?" ”

Shen Rui shook his head and said, "Things are good things, and family heirlooms are not enough." ”

The ancients loved jade, and there have been several Buddhist events in the past dynasties, so it should be very common for such Buddha carvings and jade pendants. It is also a small piece, which is not easy to damage and is easy to spread in the world.

Shen Jue glanced at Shen Rui and said, "What did Brother Shen just say, what kind of old carving, what grotto, where did you hear about it?" There are decent ones, but they can bluff people."

Shen Rui smiled and said, "I heard the six clan brothers mention it twice. As he spoke, he reluctantly handed the Jade Buddha back.

Shen Jue pushed his hand and said, "What else do you want to do for me?" This is specifically for you, and let's see if it is in line with the temple fair on the 17th? ”

November 17 is Amitabha Buddha's Christmas, this mutton fat jade Buddha is obviously a big-bellied Maitreya Buddha, isn't it the same thing at all, okay? But this is not the point, the point is that this jade Buddha is worth a lot of money, although Shen Rui does not know the current market price of antiques, but this thing is not a hundred or ten taels of silver can be bought.

"Brother Jue keeps it for himself, and I don't love this ......" Although Shen Rui really likes it, he doesn't want to take advantage of it.

Shen Jue is a child, he took the good things at home to show off, if he really accepted it, the elders of the sect would not want to go back, but he would not be happy in his heart.

Shen Jue pulled open his collar and pulled out a red rope from it, and there was also a mutton fat jade Buddha underneath, which looked similar to the piece in Shen Rui's hand, but it was larger than the one in Shen Rui's hand, and said with a smile: "I have it here, and the small one is specially brought to you." However, the school is full of clan brothers, and there is Shen Huan, so I can only steal it from you."

"There are two of them?" It was Shen Rui who was unexpected.

Shen Jue saw that he was interested, took off the jade Buddha around his neck, handed it to him, and said: "You compare and compare, except for the size, it looks exactly the same, and my grandfather also said that it is extremely rare, this big one has long been available at home, and the small one is a dead pawn sent from the pawnshop." But no matter how good the thing is, I can't wear two pieces, so I will bring you one. This jade Buddha statue doesn't look like a twin? You and I are a few hours old, and if we are reincarnated in one place, we will also be twin brothers."

The jade material of the two jade Buddhas is the same, the carving is exactly the same, and the demeanor of the Buddha statue is also the same. These two pieces of jade Buddha come from the same piece of jade, from the hands of the same jade carver, after hundreds of years of dispersion, and then gathered together, no wonder even the ancient patriarch Taiye said that it is rare.

"This thing is too valuable, I'm afraid it's the patriarch's favorite thing, you can wear it, I can't hold it properly" Shen Rui knew Shen Jue's temper, so he said bluntly.

Shen Jue smiled and said: "Brother Rui can accept it with confidence, I am not a child who makes decisions indiscriminately, I have already told my grandfather, and my grandfather agreed, so I brought it to you ......"

Before Shen Jue's words fell, he heard a commotion in front of him......
