Shenjiafang, Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture

Because the Shen family's sect room, the third room, the fourth room, and the ninth room are all doing funerals, at a glance, their eyes are full of plain white, even if they sit in the Hongyun Inn, which is not too close, they can also hear the sound of those monks, golden cymbals, copper cymbals, reeds, pipes, and bamboo fungus from afar.

Shen Rui looked out the window, although there were a few shops with obvious traces of fire, and there were also houses hanging white, but in general, most of the shops were open for business, and people came and went on the street, which was not much different from the past.

Compared to the devastated scene after the last "woe", it was really much better.

Speaking of which, I have to thank the person in front of me, but ......

Shen Rui retracted his gaze, sighed, and said, "What are you anxious about?" It's too risky. Now everywhere is on guard. ”

Not long after he arrived in Songjiang, he was invited here by Lu Sanlang, which is still too attention-grabbing.

If you wait for the things to be arranged on his side, and see each other again when he goes to the Lu family to thank him, there will be no trace.

Sitting opposite sat an old man with a white beard, his face was full of wrinkles, and his body was rickety.

The man opened his mouth but his voice was loud, not old at all: "If there is no urgency, I will not come to you at this time, but I am afraid that I will find you on the road and let people see the clues, so I dragged it out here." ”

He paused, and suddenly said: "Ah Shan can be temperamental, there is no seriousness in the attack, I have already punished him, you bear with me." ”

This person is the big boss of the nine-headed Jiao, Shen Rui's biological uncle, Meng Cong.

Shen Rui couldn't help but rub his forehead and sighed: "From the root of this matter, I really have to thank Kang Si for being in charge." He did that, though it was...... It's all for the good of the Shen family. ”

It's just that the means are too bloody, and several elderly clan elders are scared of illness, even a young person like Shen Qin has had nightmares for many days, and privately told Shen Rui that Lu Sanlang is really good at doing things, but his heart is too ruthless, and he still has to be on guard in the future.

Shen Rui couldn't tell him, where was Lu Sanlang thinking like that, it was the means of the extremely vicious nine-headed Jiao, but he was afraid that Lu Sanlang would also be scared enough.

Since the opening of the sea in Shandong, Jiutou Jiao has secretly cooperated with the Lu family, and there are all open sea trade and secret smuggling.

The contact person of Lujia Shandong is Lu Liulang, the Songjiang side is Lu Sanlang, and the nine-headed Jiao is Meng Cong's confidant Kang Ashan.

The Lu family did not know the relationship between Meng Cong and Shen Rui, but only knew that when Shen Rui was in Dengzhou, he had reached an agreement with Meng Jiu, the nine-headed Jiao, and used the imperial navy warship to help him gain the upper hand in the internal strife, become the leader of the dragon, and monopolize the sea route from the Ming Dynasty to the Wa Kingdom.

After that, the ships of the Ming Dynasty to the Wa Kingdom were all protected by the nine-headed Jiao, and one or two components were drawn, and the sailor also turned a blind eye to the nine-headed Jiao.

Since the imperial court can help Meng Dalong, and Shen Rui is the matchmaker, the Lu family has nothing to fear. So after so many years of cooperation, I have also made a lot of money.

This time, the Lu family merchant ship came back to Songjiang, and Kang Ahsan also mixed it with the fleet, preparing to buy in Songjiang.

Just then, I met Shen Qi's housekeeper to ask for help.

They are all men who fight for their lives at sea, needless to mention the ruthlessness, especially Kang Ahsan, who knows how heavy the punishment of the imperial court is for bandits, not to mention that it may also involve rebellion, so he mercilessly killed Shen Yuan, who shouted surrender words, Brother Qiong'er, and Brother Xiaoyu who colluded with gangsters, and those Poyang Lake water cowards in the ancestral hall were not left.

Afterwards, it was all pushed to those water cowards, and the Shen family changed from accomplices to victims.

The Shen family's large-scale funeral this time was also to cover up one or two.

It's just that there are too many people on the Ning Domain's side who know about Brother Xiaodong and Brother Xiaohua, and it is impossible to hide it.

Fortunately, Brother Xiaohua killed Brother Xiaodong, and also rescued Shen Li and Shen Liu under the knife of the gangster, and later led the nine-headed Jiao, who pretended to be the escort of the Lu family's sailors, to assist the officers and soldiers to exterminate the Poyang Lake Bandits who were plundering Songjiang outside, which can be regarded as a meritorious service.

There are also factors such as being tied up at a young age, and his mother and sister falling into the hands of the enemy and being coerced, so I think that Brother Xiaohua's life should be saved, and he will not be involved in the fifth room with the crime of complication.

And although Brother Xiaodong's crime is unforgivable, Shen Hui and Shen Jun have never disobeyed, but have made great contributions, and the sect will not only be guilty, but also have a reputation for killing relatives in righteousness.

Brother Xiaodong's body has been examined and recorded, and his family is allowed to take it away. After receiving the Zongfang, he was buried in the public cemetery, and did not enter the ancestral grave of the Shen family, and this time it was only Shen Hai's funeral.

Brother Xiaohua was imprisoned in the government prison. Of course, with the Shen family here, he will not be offended.

"Ah Shan told me, Brother Xiaohua, this kid is really born to eat sea food," Meng Cong's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "It's okay, if the court sentences him to death, I will use someone to replace him, and follow me, I think I will be able to be the head of the nine-headed Jiao in a few years!" Hahahaha. ”

He was laughing heartily, but Shen Rui's face darkened, "Don't talk, don't talk!" I'm not going to let him do this, and I'm not going to condemn him to death!" ”

Meng Cong smacked his lips and shook his head: "What a good seedling!" It's a pity, it's a pity! Then he asked, "I heard that he is involved in a murder case, or a murderer, or at least an exile, right?" Are you willing to let him be exiled for 3,000 miles? ”

Shen Rui couldn't help but glare at him, "You old man save it!" ”

After a pause, he sighed: "I've seen Brother Xiaohua, and I've talked to Second Brother Qi." Brother Xiaohua means that if he is exiled, he will be exiled, he wants to go to the northwest or Liaodong, if there is a war, he is willing to fight, and he will have a day of meritorious service and escape from crime, and in the future, there may not be no future. ”

Meng Cong couldn't help but interject and cheered: "It's a good son with backbone and blood!" In this way, I felt more and more pity, and looked at Shen Rui.

Shen Rui said: "The Shen family in Liaodong has an industry and a clan over there, and it is connected to the Dengzhou sea route, which is quite cheap. There is Zhao Hongpei in the northwest and there is a horse market, and it is not impossible to operate. Second Brother Qi said that no matter where Brother Xiaohua went, he would take his wife and daughter with him. ”

Shen Qi firmly said that the family should never be separated again.

In fact, he was also afraid that Jiang's mother and daughter would be taken captive for many years, and there would inevitably be rumors when they returned to Songjiang, he didn't mind, but he didn't want his wife and daughter to be wronged.

Sister Xing'er is also older, and when it comes to the age of others, he is willing to raise his daughter for a lifetime, but he also hopes that his daughter can have a good home for her beloved.

For Brother Xiaohua, he was distressed and guilty, and hoped that his father could do something for him.

That's why the family made the decision to follow Brother Xiaohua.

Meng Cong nodded and said, "Brother Qi is also a responsible man. ”

Shen Rui let out a long sigh, for so many years, the three of Jiang's mother and son have suffered, Shen Qi is not suffering, this suffering family is finally reunited now.

Then let them go, whether it is Liaodong or Northwest, they can go wherever they want, and what he can do is to provide them with a good environment as much as possible.

But Meng Cong suddenly said: "Is there another place in exile that you have ever thought about?" Qiongzhou. ”

Shen Rui was stunned, Qiongzhou? Hainan Island!

"Although Aunt Tu has not come to the north in recent years, she occupies Ryukyu and goes to the South China Sea from time to time, which will be a scourge sooner or later."

Meng Cong said, "Nine-headed Jiao has been operated in Wanzhou and Yazhou, and there are several water villages. Brother Xiaohua, this child, is really born to eat this bowl of rice, and went to Qiongzhou, that is, Jiaolong enters the sea......"

Seeing that Shen Rui was thoughtful, he added his chips again, "Aren't you short of food?" There are so many islands and so many countries in the south, can't you get food? Food is still secondary, the precious spices ...... Think about how many good things Grandpa Zheng came back from going to Nanyang back then......"

Shen Rui is really tempted, Daming is short of food!

When he was in Dengzhou, he was moving, eating mountains and seas, and relying on Liaodong, he felt that he could still fill the belly of the people, and he did not feel that the food crisis was imminent.

When I arrived in Henan this time, I really felt that I was too short of food!

He moved towards the clans, to a large extent, he also wanted to pick out the grain from them.

The people take food as the sky, no matter how much he has more ideas, no matter how many capable people he collects, he will not be able to gallop up the "lack of food".

Hainan Island, Hainan Island, three crops a year! It's a great place to breed again!

Not to mention, there is also the vast world of Nanyang!

Also, the longer the route, the larger the sea trade market......

"Think about it, think about it again......" Meng Cong foamed at the mouth.

Suddenly, Shen Rui said: "Okay, I'll think about it carefully." ”

"Uh, you promised?" Meng Cong was a little incredulous, and asked, "Did you really respond?" ”

"What should be! That's what I told him to go and he went?! Shen Rui couldn't help but be angry and funny, and said, "Your old man must let me go back and think about it carefully, and then discuss it with my family, right?" ”

He had to go back and discuss it carefully with Shen Li and his staff, and he also had to ask Shen Qi and Brother Xiaohua's opinions.

Meng Cong laughed and said, "Rong, why not allow it." Discuss well, discuss well! ”

He was happy for a while, drank two more glasses of wine, and said, "This is a surprise, I was going to talk to you ......."

said a thigh and said frustratedly: "Hey, I'm really old, I forgot to talk about business." ”

Shen Rui was also puzzled, what kind of urgency was this?

Meng Cong said solemnly: "Kang Ashan, this kid is a tendon, he doesn't use his brain, he shouldn't kill Shen Yuan." ”

Shen Rui couldn't help but roll his eyes, uncle, this is not like what your old man can say! Your thoughts that wish Shen Yuan had died earlier were all written on your face!

For Shen Yuan, Shen Rui really has no feelings.

Shen Yuan is dead, Shen Rui is sad and sad, that doesn't exist, if you want to say happy, you can't talk about it.

It's like listening to someone who doesn't have anything to do with it, saying, "Oh, this man is dead," and that's it.

Although as a biological father, what Shen Yuan did with this scourge may still be a reason for some people to attack Shen Rui.

But Shen Rui has come to this point, he is really not afraid of this.

If you want to talk about throwing off the burden, Shen Jin will still have the feeling of throwing off the burden.

Although, this time Shen Yuan's death pitted Shen Jin again.

This time, Shen Hui was also worried, but he had made meritorious contributions before, although the reward had not yet come down, but he would not stand still after three years.

And Shen Jin, Shou Ninghou has been seeking the position of political secretary for him, and he was almost done, but because of Ning Fan's rebellion slogan, this matter was forced to run aground.

Later, the little emperor took advantage of the excuse of "easing the relationship between mother and son" to ask for a large amount of money from the Marquis of Shou Ning.

When the silver arrived, the little emperor rewarded a sweet date, verbally promised Shen Jin's officials, and only said that he would make an order when he came back from the conquest-

As a result, Shen Jin was worried again.

Shou Ninghou was so angry that he didn't know if the emperor would recognize it three years later! And, it's been a few times! As soon as he seeks an official for his son-in-law, he will be worried!

No matter how Shou Ninghou jumped and scolded, Shen Jin finally got rid of Shen Yuan, a time bomb that could cause trouble at any time.

Since Meng Cong mentioned it, Shen Rui couldn't say how Kang Ahsan or Shen Yuan should die, so he could only wave his hand and say, "You say that, I don't know what to say." ”

Meng Cong didn't want him to return anything, but said: "It's not a pity that person died, but if he dies, he will be buried with your mother......"

Shen Rui sighed, nephew and uncle, he really wanted to go together, and he was not happy!

But nowadays, even if he comes up with a big reason, it is impossible for the original couple to not be buried together.

In modern times, no one would know that the urn would quietly change places.

But this is the Ming Dynasty, and when Sun was buried, it was a coffin and a corpse.

In the past, the third grandfather was determined to break with his father and Songjiang, so that he could dig up his biological mother's grave and burn the corpse as ashes, but now Shen Rui has no reason to dig up the grave and burn the corpse.

"Let me ponder this matter and think of a way as soon as possible......," Shen Rui said.

Fortunately, Shen Jin hasn't come back yet, and Shen Yuan will have to stop for a while, and he won't be buried for a while, and there is still time.

Meng Cong showed a satisfied smile: "Your mother didn't hurt you in vain!" ”

"That's what I'm going to tell you urgently." He leaned closer, "Uncle won't embarrass you, I've already brought your mother out." ”

"Huh?!" Shen Rui was dumbfounded, he couldn't believe his ears, and couldn't help but ask, "What?" What did you say? ”

"It was taking advantage of the chaos in Songjiang Mansion that day, and I took someone to bring your mother out of a coffin. I was in a hurry at the time, and I didn't care about sweeping the tail. ”

"There is no big movement outside the yin house, and I can't see it with a dozen eyes, but I'm afraid that the kid who came out of the house will come back to prepare for his father's burial, and when he gets up the grave and bones, he will see through it, and it will be troublesome, which is not good."

Meng Cong said, "So let me tell you first, in the past two days, Songjiang Mansion has settled down, and the Shen family has a white matter, and there are more people coming in and out of the Xishan Tomb, and my people are not good to go in and arrange again, so you have to arrange for someone to pick up the follow-up." And ......"

He looked at this nephew who looked like a sister, sighed, and said, "I originally wanted to take her overseas." However, in the end, it was your mother, and she was afraid that she would not be able to bear you, so she asked her to stay with her father-in-law and enjoy the incense offered by her son. I can take her to the capital, but if she is buried next to her father-in-law, you will have to think of it. ”

I never expected Meng Cong to come with such a hand.

Shen Rui was stunned when he heard it, and he really couldn't answer now.

It took a long time before he muttered, "So...... It's good. ”

*

On July 20, Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, was captured alive.

From the time of the rebellion of the court officials on June 14 to the day of his capture, it was only 36 days.

This conspiracy lasted more than ten years, mobilized nearly 100,000 troops and bandits, and captured Jiujiang, Nankang and other cities at the beginning, shaking the north and south of the river, and the huge rebellion, so it was declared bankrupt.

However, the complacent King Ning met the Nanjing Navy led by Wang Shouren in Anqing, and it was a fiasco.

Then he was shocked to hear that Nanchang was lost, and it was Jiang Sheng, the governor of Southern Jiangxi, who led several commanders to gather the bandit army in western Zhejiang and northern Fujian, and captured the empty Nanchang City in one fell swoop.

King Ning refused to listen to the persuasion of the "national teacher" Li Zhenren, and immediately asked the class teacher to return to Nanchang, and wanted to ascend the throne as emperor immediately, change the Yuan to Shunde, and divide one side.

Wang Shouren was willing to let him run away like this, and he led the army to chase after him.

And the Ning Fan army met the army of Jiang Yan and Gao Wenhu on the way back to the division.

Jiang Yan suppressed bandits in Huguang for many years, and was also well versed in water warfare, and the rebels were defeated again.

Then Wang Shouren's pursuers arrived, the two sides united, and the rebels had no way to retreat, and finally Ning Fan was captured alive, and the rebellion ended.

However, although King Zening was captured, the chaos he brought did not subside immediately.

Unlike King Anhua's capture of the border army, King Ning raised private soldiers and bandits, and for so many years, he relied on money to buy many officials from all over the country and officials in the town.

These people caused a lot of trouble for the imperial court.

For example, Bi Zhen, the eunuch who guarded Zhejiang, the king of Ning sent him from Jiangxi to Zhejiang, and as soon as he arrived in Zhejiang, he threw a lot of money and rewarded the officials and soldiers of the guards, and won the hearts of the people.

On the grounds of drills, he built armor, bought grain and rice, and prepared military funds for the Ning Domain.

After King Ning's rebellion, Bi Zhen responded positively, openly declaring that the prince of King Ning was going to take Zhejiang, and collected the keys to the gates of Hangzhou City in his hands, and also ordered the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division to transfer officers and soldiers, causing the soldiers and civilians in the city to run in fear, and the officials were in danger, and the three divisions supported the army for self-defense.

There are also rumors in Nanjing City, shouting what to welcome the Holy Lord, but fortunately, Wu Jingbo and Zhao Chengqing are guarding Nanjing, and the response is timely and does not cause much confusion.

And there are not a few prefectures and counties along the rivers and coasts that have been plundered in rich places like Songjiang.

As reported by Shen Jun before, Ning Fan raised many rich children like Brother Xiaodong, just to use the family behind them as a money bag.

On June 15, King Ning appointed Min Twenty-four, Ling Eleven, Wu Thirteen and other Jiangyang thieves as commanders, and asked them to lead people to attack Fuxian and plunder ships and military supplies.

These people can't decide the overall situation, but the destructive power of a place is huge.

Especially after hearing that King Ning failed, these bandits broke and fled, and continued to cause trouble, and the follow-up pursuit will also be a big project.

On the Songjiang side, Shen Hui and Shen Jin both came back to mourn, but Shen Jun, who was closest to him, did not return for a long time, because he is now by Jiang Sheng's side, and with his years of accumulation in Jiangxi, he assisted in cleaning up the remnants of the rebel clan and exterminating the fleeing bandits.

The news that the rebellion had been quelled and that King Ning had been captured was delivered to Brother Shou at the end of July.

At that time, Brother Shou was already in Xuzhou Mansion in Nanzhili - he really came to the army this time, looking forward to a battle, and he didn't play at all along the way, so he really urged the march in a hurry.

The cabinet ministers who accompanied him this time were Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu and Fei Hong. Li Dongyang and Wang Hua were too old to run around, so they were left in Beijing to preside over the overall situation.

Yang, Liang, and Fei all persuaded Brother Shou to return to Luan when they heard the good news.

Brother Shou finally came out for a trip, and where would he go back!

Especially when this is all to Nanzhili, Nanjing is in front of him, he is the descendant of Taizu, how can he not go to Nanjing to see?

This time, no one dared to mention anything, let Wang Shouren release King Ning, so that the emperor could catch it himself.

Brother Shou didn't mean to play a cat-and-mouse game, so he immediately let the world be announced, and the rebellion against the feudal domain was put down.

Then he ordered Wang Shouren to escort King Ning to Nanjing, and he wanted Rong to be loaded into the city of Nanjing and accept the prisoners.

Yang Tinghe and other ministers tried hard to dissuade them, and they all said that although the rebel king was now captured, the bandits he raised were still on the run, and the emperor should return to Beijing as soon as possible.

He also said that now that the autumn is high and the horses are fat, I am afraid that the Tatars will still commit crimes.

He also said that he had been away from Beijing for a long time, and his government affairs were deserted.

Brother Shou retorted sentence by sentence, "Could it be that Xu Zhen personally conquered the northern captives again?" Otherwise, what would the Tatars do when they let me go back to Beijing? ”

"Ning Shun has been destroyed, what are the assassins still doing to kill me? Robbing the Dharma? It should also be in Nanjing? ”

"Originally, wasn't it just the elders of the cabinet who presided over government affairs? Wang Yue is also in Beijing, and the celebrant should be as usual, where is it deserted? ”

No matter what the minister says, he always has crooked reasoning. In short, nothing could bring him back.

Brother Shou has been in a hurry along the way, and he is also greedy when he looks at the scenery on both sides of the strait.

I thought that I would have a good time when King Ning returned, and I didn't want to make a big deal so soon, it was the summer and autumn, the most suitable time to play, and the prosperous Yangzhou was in front of me, so I always had a good time.

Then the little emperor happily announced: The southern expedition has been changed to the southern tour.

This can be a hornet's nest, if you want to say that the ancestral mausoleum and Nanjing were surrendered, although the courtiers were dissatisfied, they could only pinch their noses and admit it.

But now you're saying you're going to spend the people's fat and the people's ointment to go out and play! In the case of several provinces reporting disasters and Tatars constantly threatening the border, it is the act of a faint king!

The courtiers were like enraged hornets and began to attack the emperor, just as when they returned to the early years of Zhengde and found that the little emperor did not like to study and was greedy for fun.

The people around him advised not only not to mention it, but the excerpts sent by the imperial historians in Beijing and Nanjing could be piled up one person high.

Brother Shou rolled his eyes and didn't pay attention to it at all. If you like to hand over the fold, just hand it over, what is the pavilion always doing with you, let them slowly look at it.

Zhang Yong, the master of ceremonies, also came out, what kind of political affairs are there, the three elders and Zhang Yong just discussed and solved it together.

He should play and play his.

You say that there are too many trips to travel and play, and they are also extravagant? Okay, then micro-service private visit! Just took a few people, didn't play the honor guard, and went out after strolling.

Do you think that it is dangerous for the Arowana to be mixed in the market? Okay, you can go to the market, just visit the minister's house, if there is anything delicious and fun, ask them to prepare!

Brother Shou indulged in the mountains and rivers all the way, and slowly went south.

Not only were the courtiers dissatisfied, but even Zhang Hui was a little unbearable.

When he was young, he followed Brother Shou to play in the capital so much, and at that time he was only responsible for playing, just changing tricks to have fun and coaxing Brother Shou, it was extremely easy and comfortable.

Now, he has to be responsible for the safety of the emperor, planning the route every day, arranging the people who are secretly protecting, and he has to let Brother Shou have fun, and he has to pay attention to whether there is any danger with twelve points of spirit. I'm really tired.

Zhang Hui wrote to Shen Rui more than once, telling him not to hide at home, and to come back quickly to help him share the burden.

Shen Rui, where is this idle.

When he received the letter from home, the war in the south was not over, although he knew that he would inevitably win, and he didn't need himself as a vanguard officer, but he couldn't just run away with the military order.

After the succession and the division of the sect, even if the biological father died, there was no need for him to keep filial piety.

Therefore, when he wrote to Brother Shou, Shen Rui truthfully told what happened in Songjiang Mansion, saying that he was afraid that the rebels would be a disaster, and since he was a pioneer, he should go first to clear the obstacles for His Majesty.

Thinking about how much gold and silver Ning Fan robbed in Songjiang Mansion back then, of course Brother Shou didn't want these rich coastal prefectures and counties to be picked by Ning Fan.

He ordered Shen Rui, the pioneer officer, to send a team of men and horses to Songjiang and other state capitals to suppress bandits. and let Shen Rui act cheaply, which can be regarded as giving him a holiday to take care of the white affairs of the clan.

Shen Rui was ordered to return to Songjiang on business.

The reason why he came back in a hurry was because he was afraid that the nine-headed Jiao would not hide it well, so that the Shen family would not be a "bandit" instead of a "bandit".

After settling down in Songjiang, the Hangzhou Mansion had Bi Zhen disturbing people's hearts, so Shen Rui led his troops to Hangzhou Mansion and arrested Bi Zhen and his comrades.

After Jiaxing, Huzhou, Zhenjiang, and Changzhou, there were many things like the Shen family, although it was not a large-scale loot, but it also had a great impact, and at the same time, there were local bandits and bandits who came out to take advantage of the fire to rob, Shen Rui and Zhao Hongze acted separately and settled the chaos one by one.

It was not until late August that the bandits in the area were completely wiped out.

So following Zhang Hui's letter, Shen Rui also expressed helplessness, this side is not full of rest, and he always has to wait for the elders to be buried, and then settle down before he can go back, at that time, the emperor was already in Nanjing.

I can only command Zhang Da to carry it.

Zhang Hui is easy to send here, but it is difficult for his uncle Yang Shen to be perfunctory.

Yang Shen did not follow Hu this time, it was Yang Tinghe who sent someone back to Beijing to ask Yang Shen to take leave and go south to mourn, and by the way, he went to Shandong to pick up Yang Tian and escort her mother and son back to Songjiang.

Although Shen Rui succeeded and divided the sect, Shen Yuan was his biological father in the end, and as an in-law of the Yang family, this gift could not be saved.

Yang Shen was very happy when he heard that Ning Shun was captured on the road, but he said that the holy car was about to return to Luan, and he didn't want the emperor to change the southern expedition to the southern tour, and played all the way, which made Yang Shen, who had always been a good side, very unaccustomed to it.

He wrote letters to his father and teacher Li Dongyang, and also gave several excerpts to advise, bluntly saying that "if the king acts rashly and travels without anything, there will be unexpected regrets."

However, these excerpts, like other excerpts of the same kind of content, were thrown aside by Brother Shou and ignored them.

Yang Shen and Shen Rui were still angry, and said that the emperor refused to listen to what they said, Shen Rui was a close minister of the emperor, and he was known as His Majesty's think tank, and the exhortation would definitely have an effect, so Shen Rui would also write more to persuade him.

Shen Ruixin said, what is it to stay in Yangzhou and not leave, in history, Zhengde has been playing for a year and a half in the south! That's just the beginning.

But in the face of Geng's upright uncle, Shen Rui couldn't say anything, so he could only follow him, and then guide him to think about other things, such as how to minimize the negative impact of the emperor's southern tour - although it is a waste of money for the people, but the emperor has eaten and played will inevitably be sought after, so expanding the industry can also allow some people to make a living.

took Henan's plan to bother Yang Shen to help refer to it.

Yang Shen said: "The errands that the emperor personally levied on you this time, I'm afraid you won't be let go back to Henan." "But in the end, it's better to help come up with some good ideas.

Shen Rui couldn't figure out how Brother Shou wanted to arrange himself, in his heart, he still wanted to go back to Henan to manage well, not only to avoid the disturbances between the DPRK and China, but also to open up some situations in Henan, and he didn't want to give up.

However, plans never change fast.

Yang Shen chatted with Shen Li and Shen Jin in Songjiang, and was interested in the Shen family, so he wanted to stay longer.

Suddenly, news came from Yangzhou, but it was Yang Ting and his father Yang Chun who died of illness, and Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen's father and son were all worried.

Yang Shen immediately set off to Yangzhou to meet Yang Tinghe and return to Shuzhong's hometown, while Wang Yan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Yu family in Beijing would return to Shu from the capital with Yang Tinghe's younger brother Yang Tingyi's family.

Although Yang Tian was married to a woman with a short filial piety period, he should also go back to the funeral, but was stopped by Yang Shen.

It is said that the road is too far, Jiangxi has just been pacified, and this road may not be as peaceful as ever.

Yang Tian's body is already weak, and he has been injured after giving birth, and he is also quite tired all the way from Shandong to Songjiang, and he has not yet recovered, so it is not suitable to travel far.

It is also said that Yang Yue of Shanxi will tell her not to go back to Shu when she sends the letter.

Yang Tian gave up at this time.

When Yang Shen set off, Shen Rui and his wife took their children to see each other off at the ferry.

Yang Shen did not forget to solemnly tell Shen Rui at this time: "Hengyun, as a minister, should try his best to advise." ”

"'The China that the emperor has paid to your majesty, the throne passed down by the ancestors is in your majesty, the filial piety of the two palaces is in your majesty, and the protection of the subjects is in your majesty. He said, "I wrote like this in my fold, and I also thought like this in my heart, how can I be careless." ”

"Hengyun, I see that what you have done for Shandong and Henan is to seek the welfare of the people and the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years, and you are not even afraid of offending the magnates of the clan, and you do not hesitate to die. However, I don't know why you refused to write a book of advice this time. ”

"Isn't it justified to advise the emperor a lot, and be cautious about these thousands of Li people and ten thousand years of society?"

Shen Rui was speechless for a while, and could only smile bitterly.

Yang Shen didn't force him to promise anything, but said: "Father is worried about this, the cabinet still doesn't know how to change, and Wang Ge Lao has a ...... belly" But he finally hid the sentence that his belly was too small.

Yang Shen is Li Dongyang's disciple in the end, and he is very unfair to Wang Hua for suppressing Li Dongyang's disciples and suppressing the hero Yang Yiqing.

just reminded him: "Elder Wang Ge may not plan everything for your good, my father is not in the court, and you are in a foreign position, I am afraid that it is not as cheap as before." ”

Shen Rui sighed, and he also understood in his heart, for example, in the matter of the border gate horse market, the master would not give up using the horse market to suppress Yang Yiqing because of Shen Rui.

This time, Yang Ting and Ding Wei have vacated a position in the cabinet, and there are many meritorious heroes of the Southern Expedition to be rewarded, and those who are suspected of being a feudal lord are to be cut off, and the DPRK and China are still unable to point out how to change.

Yang Shen seemed to see his hesitation, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "If the emperor summons you, you will return to Beijing." By the emperor's side, the emperor believes in you, and you will always have less restraint in doing things. ”

"By the emperor's side, you still have to try your best to persuade ......," he said, and then he turned the words back again.

Shen Rui solemnly said that he must keep the eldest brother's heavy warning in his heart.

The two sides parted ways.

Shen Rui watched the boat gradually move away, and Yang Shen stood on the bow of the boat, resolute and upright, like a pine and a cypress.

Thinking back to the words that Yang Shen persuaded him just now, and thinking of all the things that Yang Shen experienced in history, he was full of emotion for a while.

The river is surging, the lonely sail is far away, Shen Rui couldn't help but whisper Yang Shen's famous poem through the ages.

"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes.

Success or failure turns empty.

The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.

On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze.

A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet.

How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. ”

On the side, Yang Tianmei's eyes were tearful, she parted with sadness, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, she knew that her husband's article was quite good, but the poems were really mediocre, and she didn't want to be able to chant such a masterpiece today.

She repeated it, only to feel that the aftertaste was endless, and she couldn't help but chant and chew it repeatedly.

Shen Rui woke up, couldn't help but be embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "It's not what I did, it's the eldest brother......

Well, this one was not written by his eldest brother before, it was only after Yang Shen in history received the court rod for the "Great Rites Discussion" and seized the official position in Yunnan.

Looking at his wife's confused eyes, he didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Fortunately, while talking, the nurse had already hugged Brother Xiaojie over, and the child who couldn't speak was clasping his hands and screaming, asking his parents to hug him, which suddenly attracted all Yang Tian's attention.

"Jie" is the name given by Brother Shou after knowing Shen Rui's son.

Although there are already seven brothers in the clan who occupy this word, but the emperor gives the name, and others can only change the name. Although Shen Qi and Shen Qin had already helped him do it before, this time when he returned to Songjiang, Shen Rui also went to the house of that clan to apologize.

Brother Xiao Jie was raised to be white and fat and strong, and his appearance was more like his mother, but his temperament was not at all, and he was the most lively and active.

Shen Rui was afraid that Yang Tian wouldn't be able to hold him, so he hurriedly took it. The boy giggled, tugging at his father's hair and his ears for a moment, and there was no time to stop.

And Shen Chuanyu, who was full of wisdom and scheming, in front of his son, he could only laugh stupidly, and he couldn't avoid the little fat hands that made trouble.

Holding his son in one hand and his wife in the other, Shen Rui, who had been in a trance between history and reality, suddenly calmed down completely.

*

On the first day of September, the Shen family opened the ancestral hall again.

The heads of the houses, the clan elders, and some of the clansmen gathered in the ancestral hall, and the black pressure was overwhelming.

Those who were officials abroad, such as Shen Ying, Shen Li, Shen Quan, Shen Jue, etc., all tried their best to take leave and come back, and those who were engaged in business and study, such as Shen Lian, Shen Yu, Shen Yue, Shen Chen, Shen Bao, Shen Huan, Shen Chun, etc., also rushed back.

Although it was grand and solemn, the hall was full of the Shen family, and no outsiders were invited to watch the ceremony.

There are several things in the ancestral hall this time, mainly to elect a new patriarch - Shen Qi said that he would accompany Brother Xiaohua with his family, so he resigned as the patriarch.

In addition, Brother Xiao Nan and Brother Xiao Jie will be on the family tree, and Brother Xiao Dong will be expelled from the family tree.

In addition, the third room decided to divide the room again.

Shen Qi led everyone to offer three sacrifices to the ancestors, offered incense and bowed, and then sat down in the public hall.

After a circle, Shen Qi stood still in the middle hall, first talked about the history of the Shen family, and then talked about his family's decision to accompany his son with him.

Shen Qi has been acting impartially as the patriarch over the years, and the clansmen are convinced, and they know that it is not easy for him to be a family, so they all express their understanding and send blessings.

As for the candidate for the successor patriarch, many people in the clan have thought about Shen Li, but with the fall of the rebel domain, the little prince and his advisers were arrested in Henan, and Zhang Wei was also among them, and the piracy was also revealed to the world.

Zongfang Shen Jun made meritorious service this time, although he had to keep filial piety for three years, he would have a future after that, and he would not stay in Songjiang.

Therefore, the clansmen had already discussed in private, and at this time, they unanimously elected the eight-room Shen Liu, who had previously been in the clan as a supervisor and handled affairs strictly, as the patriarch. And the person who records the account books is still Shen Qi, who is still in the sixth room.

In the past, it was Shen Lian who was in charge of the family's property, and now the three rooms are going to be divided again, and Shen Lian's first room is ready to give up the Songjiang Tianzhai and move his family to Shandong, and the general manager will also be replaced.

In the past few years, Shen Lian has helped Shen Rui with Shandong and Henan affairs, and Shen Huai, the clan property has also been taken care of by Shen Huai, the sect chief after Shen Yu, and now he has full authority to entrust it to him.

There are also five houses to support Shen Jia, who has not yet completed his studies, and has some talent in business, so he followed Shen Huai to be a helper.

After that, it's time to ask for a family tree.

When Brother Xiaodong was expelled, Shen Hui who was sitting and Shen who was standing behind him? There was no expression on his face.

On the side, Shen Jun had tears in his eyes, as if he was deeply sorry for not being able to save his nephew, but what the truth was, others didn't know.

Only the lady in the wing room let out a whimper, it was Grandma Jue.

One time later, Shen Rui went out of the wing room and hugged Brother Xiao Jie into the public hall, followed by the little boy Brother Xiao Nan.

Shen Yong's gaze kept glued to Brother Xiao Nan, and he subconsciously called out.

Since that day, Shen Yong saw Brother Qiong being killed, he fell ill, and every time he thought of the old things on the sickbed, he couldn't help but regret it.

Hearing that He's mother and son had returned, he sent someone to invite him to see Brother Xiao Nan, but he refused.

Therefore, Brother Xiao Nan didn't recognize him, and when he heard someone calling his name, he knew that all the people sitting in this hall were elders, so he was very polite.

Shen Yong's eyes turned red, and he wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Shen Lian next to him with a light cough.

Thinking of the past, my family always wanted to strike a balance so that their two sons would be well, but in the end, neither of them would get any better, and they all died miserably.

is such a well-informed grandson, but he pushed it out by himself...... For a while, I couldn't help but cry.

Writing a genealogy is a three-room division.

The eldest man and his wife in Sanfanghu have poor character, they are disgusted by the clansmen, Shen Yong is also disliked by the clansmen because of Shen Ling's affairs, and there is Shen Zhu at the head of the house, and then Shen Qiong, which is not shallow to harm the clansmen.

Just like the last separation, Shen Hao and Shen Lian both said that as long as they could divide the clan, they were willing to give up all the properties of Songjiang Tianzhai. This time, Shen Hao was also preparing to follow the fourth brother north.

Shen Yong was ashamed in his heart, where was he willing to ask for the things of his younger brothers, and he also had a family business, he had been dragged down by Lord Hu over the years, and now that his son was gone, he didn't want to stay in Songjiang anymore, so he should divide the sect even if he was happy.

Master Hu has been addicted to wine over the years, and he had a stroke, although he has raised some of them, his arms and legs are still not very convenient, and his speech is slurred.

This time he was carried to the ancestral hall, and when he heard that the second brother refused to hand over the property of the third and fourth brothers, he was so angry that he almost had a stroke again, blowing his beard and glaring at his eyes, but he was unable to speak.

In the wing room over there, Mrs. Hu rushed out with a snort, stood at the door of the hall and scolded, saying that the second, third, and fourth were sorry for his family, and all the things should be given to him, and the younger brothers must be raised for them.

Somehow, she thought of Shen Zhu, and said with a shy face how good her son was with a "top talent", and insisted that Shen Zhu was killed by the clan, and the clan was sorry for his family.

If it weren't for the fact that Shen Zhu Lufu attracted the covetousness of the Ning Domain's bandits, how could the Shen family have suffered this catastrophe one after another!

The clansmen were all furious, and they scolded her one after another.

Mrs. Hu was frightened by this sound, so she was a little frightened and shut up.

Shen Liu's generation was there, so he was not used to the couple, so he asked Mrs. Hu: "Brother Xiaohua is also exiled for three thousand miles, and Brother Qi'er's family is willing to accompany him." You are also parents, if you really love your child, why don't you send you to accompany Brother Zhu! ”

Mrs. Huda wilted at that time, and made excuses incoherently.

Shen Liu shouted: "If you want to talk nonsense again and involve the clan, I will send you to the family temple to cultivate your morality!" As he spoke, he asked all the deacons and disciples to fork out the shrew, and this side decided to divide the three rooms into sects, and from then on the brothers had nothing to do with each other.

Everything was over, Shen Li stood up, waved around, and said loudly: "In the past ten years, the two catastrophes of the Shen family have arisen because of the unscrupulous children and grandchildren, and the lessons have been painful. ”

Many of the people here have gone through these two catastrophes, and they can't help but have lingering palpitations, and with Mrs. Huda's trouble just now, they feel more and more that this is reasonable, so they all nodded and said yes.

Shen Li said: "In the past, there was a cloud in the "Yan's Family Motto", 'I am now the one who is here, I don't dare to follow the fan, and the industry is neat and tidy, and I tear up the descendants'." ”

"Now, my Shen family should also have such a family motto, written in accordance with the rules of the Yan family, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and the rules of my Shen clan, in order to teach future generations, not to seek to get ahead and be heard in the world, but to know how to be courteous, righteous and honest, abide by the national law and family rules, and be able to be loyal and filial, benevolent and righteous!"

The clansmen clapped their hands and promised: "That's right!" ”

*

On this day, the seven sevenths of the soul were full, and the fourth room of the Shen family's sect was funeral.

But seeing that the white flags were dressed in a row, the silver mountains poured out of Shenjiafang.

Along the way, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, the general judge, the same magistrate, and the magistrate all set up road sacrifice sheds, and other prefects, counties, experiences, and governors set up road sacrifice tables and tea tables.

Mo said that there were all the names and surnames in Songjiang officialdom, and even people from Zhenjiang Mansion, Hangzhou Mansion and other places also came.

The Shen family is now a few high-ranking officials, and they can't even stammer, and it's rare to go back to Songjiang, who doesn't want to come to make a good relationship.

In addition, Shen Rui led troops to assist these prefectures in clearing out the remnants of the rebel domain, and it was Shen Rui's father who came to the funeral, and there were many people who did not know the details of the relationship between the father and son of the Shen family to express their gratitude.

In the past two days, news has come from Beijing that Wang Hua and Wang Ge have been old and sick.

This is to make way for his son.

After Ning Shun was escorted to Nanjing to offer prisoners, the imperial court rewarded meritorious deeds, Wang Shouren relied on his great contribution to quelling the rebellion, and Wang Hua paved the way, so he will be able to enter the cabinet in one fell swoop.

Don't look at Shen Rui's father-in-law Yang Ge Lao Ding is worried, this time seeing that his master Wang Shouren has become an old man again, Shen Rui's background has never fallen, and he also has the merit of exterminating the remnants of the rebel clan, I am afraid that he can rise again.

Therefore, on this day, on the four-mile-long road from Shenjiafang to the west gate of the county seat, the sacrificial sheds and sacrificial tables of the people in the officialdom continued one after another, and even the old sacrificial tables of the relatives and in-laws of the Shen family could not be placed.

The funeral procession of hundreds of people passed by a brand-new stone bridge, and some people couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't it washed away by the summer water, when is the new bridge?" ”

Someone immediately said proudly: "It was repaired in the past two months, and it was built by Uncle Yuan's weaving factory with this year's dividends!" ”

Therefore, it is the "four houses of the old man" that was sent, and there are elderly people who talk about the ancients, saying that the origin of the great wife in the past years of all kinds of righteous deeds, as well as the imperial court are recognized, but also give four products to the people, give the archway and so on.

Everyone praised one after another, and another young descendant shouted: "This bridge should be called 'Virtuous Woman Bridge', so that future generations will know the good deeds of Uncle Yuan's grandmother, and let there be more such virtuous women in the clan!" ”

These words fell in the ears of a scribe at the road sacrifice table, and he immediately remembered it in his heart, thinking that he would report to the prefect when he turned back.

This prefect has just risen to Songjiang Mansion, and it is the time to get along with the local clans, and it is a good opportunity to erect a monument "Virtuous Woman Bridge"!

Five miles away from the county seat, the sunny slope of the West Mountain is the tomb of the Shen family, the cemetery of the first vein of the sect is in the middle of the West Mountain, radiating down is the inner three rooms, and at the foot of the mountain is the outer five rooms.

Mr. Yin and Yang who have already invited a good person to build a nine-foot deep pit in the blessed land, and when the auspicious time comes, Mr. Yin and Yang will command the barman to "go to the pit and bury".

Shen Hai's side is still alive because Mrs. Hai's wife He is still there, so he is the first to enter the earth for peace. Shen Yuan's side wanted to raise the Sun family's grave and rebury the husband and wife side by side. Of course, the bones are only in one place, and the coffin will not be opened.

Shen Rui watched Shen Jin wait for the soil to be sprinkled and mourned, dozens of bars took turns to fill in the soil, and the grave had been buried in less than two quarters of an hour, and no one found anything abnormal. Only then did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

After the ceremony, everyone returned home, and they did not gather in one place, but returned in twos and threes, and there were carriages and horses to pick up the female dependents back.

Shen Rui, Shen Jin and other brothers walked side by side.

Shen Jin talked about ethnology, he took over ethnology last time, and this time he was ready to continue as before, and he had some new ideas, and he talked to Shen Rui and Shen Li one by one.

Shen Qin talked about Qingze Academy, Shen Bao talked about Penglai Academy, and everyone discussed it together.

After a while, he walked to the stone bridge again.

At the funeral, Shen Jin, the filial son of the anti-flag, walked in front of the team, and there were gongs, drums, mourning and crying, and he couldn't hear the whispers behind him.

And when I walked quietly, I heard some clansmen or passers-by talking about this "Virtuous Woman Bridge" and the Virtuous Woman Sun of the Shen Sect.

When he saw Sun's coffin today, Shen Jin recalled all the benefits that his grandmother had treated him back then, and he cried bitterly in front of the grave, not so much crying Shen Yuan, but crying Sun.

Listening to these people at this time, I have mixed feelings in my heart. He knew that the bridge was actually built by Yang Tian in the name of the Sun family.

Yang Tian's clan said that the weaving shop of the Sun family's inheritance inherited by Shen Rui will take out part of the dividends every year and continue to do good deeds in the name of the Sun family to benefit the township.

And Yang Tian himself, together with his mother-in-law Xu, together with He and Qi's second grandmother Jiang, spent money to repair several roads in Huating County.

The Jishan Hall in Songjiang Mansion was also learned from Dengzhou Mansion in Shandong Province that year, and it is said that it was created by Yang Tian. This time, Yang Tian also made a large donation when he returned.

And his wife Zhang Yuxian, the daughter of Houmen, is pretentious, and also opened a weaving factory, but she wanted to make money by paying tribute, but her eldest sister Zhang Yujing was seized for paying tribute, and she died of this heart.

When I came back this time, I heard that the Lu family had made a fortune by sea trade, so I wanted to take the sea trade road again, and I asked him to buy merchant ships.

Coming and going is to earn silver, and I have never thought of donating silver to accumulate virtue and do good.

But what can he say?

As she had said, once she asked him where the money came from, he would not be able to answer at all.

Whether he wants to or not, it is a fact that the Yue family spent a lot of money to find an official for him.

Holding on to the stone pillar of the bridge railing, Shen Jin suddenly sighed and said to Shen Rui: "It's because I'm incompetent and didn't give my mother a higher command." ”

Back then, the Sun family was invited by the prefect Jiang Sheng to be a four-grade meritorious person, and Shen Jin's son is now only a fifth-grade person, so there is no reason to ask for a low-grade edict for his mother-in-law.

Shen Rui also just heard the name of this "Virtuous Woman Bridge", and couldn't help but be shocked.

Yang Tian repaired the bridge and paved the road, he knew, she often did good deeds in Shandong, and what she wanted to do when she came back to Songjiang was all up to her, and Shen Rui didn't care.

Unexpectedly, this is the "Virtuous Woman Bridge" he has been looking for before.

He couldn't help but go up and touch the stone pillar, but he couldn't remember what the bridge looked like in his previous life.

The various things in the previous life are like the water moon mirror flower......

was in a trance, and suddenly heard Shen Jin say this.

Shen Rui looked at Shen Jin, smiled suddenly, and said, "This is a seal she earned herself." didn't rely on her husband, didn't rely on her son, it was her kindness, for herself, to earn a seal, to shine on the lintel, and to be descendants. It's more glorious than anything else, isn't it? ”

He held his head up slightly, and there was endless pride in his tone.

Shen Jin was stunned, he didn't seem to have seen such a second brother with his head held high and speaking proudly for a long time.

Over the years, the second brother has always been indifferent and detached, and he is introverted......

And that stubborn second brother, how many years ago was that?

Be...... When my grandmother was still around?

Even if he can't memorize a book well, he was reprimanded by his husband, and he refused to bow his head and admit his mistakes, even if he was wronged and flattened, he always straightened his back and held his head high.

That, the pride in my bones.

In a trance, he seemed to hear the second brother say, "Big brother, you are in love." Today in front of my mother's grave, I remembered many old things. My mother once said, without hard work, don't talk about harvest. said that the eldest brother can go to school, but also after ten years of cold and summer, day after day, his hands are not left the papers, and he is respectable and cannot be envied......"

Shen Jin looked at the second brother blankly, then looked at the stone bridge, his eyes looked through the bustling crowd on the bridge, through the noisy and noisy sounds, and looked at the thick green West Mountain in the distance.

Slowly, he also smiled and nodded: "Yes, you earned it yourself, and you will be glorious." ”

While he was talking, several fast horses galloped over there, and pedestrians shouted in surprise.

It wasn't until the crowd was so dense that the riders turned over and dismounted, and two of them threw the reins to the people behind them, and came over panting.

One of them is Changshou, and the other is Liu Zhong's godson, Liu Xiangyun.

Changshou's face was extremely poor, and he was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Liu Xiangyun and other internal officials' behavior of riding horses on the street, but he couldn't do anything to them.

Liu Xiangyun hugged his fist and saluted Shen Rui from a distance, and apologized when he arrived, opening his mouth and closing his mouth to pay tribute to the funeral, and he didn't want to be delayed on the way, so he quickly abandoned the boat and landed, galloping all the way, but he didn't expect it to be late, it was really a big sin.

How can people blame what this says? Not only can you not blame, but you have to appreciate it!

I don't know if he came here specifically to make this "regret not in time for the funeral" play.

Shen Rui often deals with these internal officials, he is really a lotus with a good tongue, and he is used to singing, reading, and fighting.

Hurriedly supported Liu Xiangyun, solemnly thanked him, and introduced him to a few people around him.

Shen Li, Shen Jin, and Liu Xiangyun all knew each other, and greeted each other with a smile. And facing the Shen family who had no rank, Liu Xiangyun didn't put on any show, he was quite polite.

Since he came here, he has no intention of letting everyone avoid it.

In front of the Shen family, Liu Xiangyun said: "The little one is also here to report the news." So that the adults know that the Lord will come to Nanjing in a few days and want to recruit Lord Shen over. The godfather asked the little one to come over and tell Lord Shen, 'Let's leave when the family is over'. The little ones don't dare to stay longer, and they have to rush back after this message......"

This is also a message to the Shen family, right? Shen Rui was slandered in his heart. I'm afraid that he won't go back.

However, Liu Zhong would not send Liu Xiangyun for no reason, there must still be something, and he really had to leave as soon as possible.

Because it was not the emperor's dictation, it was just Liu Zhong's "paraphrase", so the crowd did not have to salute, but only thanked them.

Shen Rui came out to send a funeral, but there was nothing to reward on him, and Liu Xiangyun's identity was not a piece of jade at will. Let's go see longevity right now.

Liu Xiangyun leaned closer and said with a smile: "Don't worry about rewarding adults, when the little one finishes speaking, I want to give the small one a double reward!" ”

Although he was close, his voice was not too small, and he glanced at Shen Jin intentionally or unintentionally.

"Congratulations to Lord Shen, you will be a political envoy in the near future! The holy decree has been prepared, and it will be issued when Lord Shen arrives in Nanjing. At that time, I am afraid that it will not be the turn of the small one to pass the decree, so the small one will come to congratulate him today and ask for a reward. ”

Shen Rui was stunned, this kind of thing Liu Xiangyun dared to say it like this, it was accurate.

He is now also a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, a third-grade official, and a political envoy is also a third-grade, and he has not been promoted in terms of rank.

However, how important is the political envoy, Da Jiuqing, far from being comparable to a servant of the Ministry of Rites!

In the past, Brother Shou also said that he wanted to transfer him back to the General Political Division, but he never thought that he would be a general political envoy when he went back.

His first reaction was: Is there anything big in the DPRK and China? Wang Huazhishi, Yang Ting and Ding Wei, if Wang Shouren enters the cabinet, who is the other one? Need to transfer him back to Beijing to balance ......?

However, Yang Shen's words when he parted that day echoed in his ears again, and the history of his previous life also lingered in his heart.

He sighed in his heart, no matter what, he will do his best to protect Brother Shou and guard the Ming of this life, and he will be worthy of his heart.

Suddenly, Shen Li said overjoyedly: "Now I have inherited the mantle of the third master!" ”

Shen Rui came to his senses and hurriedly thanked Liu Xiangyun again.

But I was a little annoyed in my heart, running here and here to play tricks.

That Shou Ning Hou Mansion is seeking a position for his son-in-law to control the government, if he Shen Rui is a political envoy, Shen Jin wants to avoid suspicion, and this official will be in the soup again.

Liu Xiangyun said this on purpose in front of Shen Jin, not to provoke but also to stimulate Shen Jin.

Liu Zhong and his gang are the henchmen of the little emperor, so they have a discord with the queen mother and the Zhang family.

This matter, hmph, when he returns to Nanjing, he will talk to Liu Zhong about it.

Over there, Shen Jin also looked happy, without the slightest embarrassment.

When Shen Li was a few steps behind Shen Rui and Liu Xiangyun and turned his head to look at him, Shen Jin laughed quietly: "Sixth Brother Li, don't worry, I am really happy for Brother Rui." ”

He stroked the stone pillars with his hand, as if to explain, as if to say to himself: "Only what you earn is solid and glorious." I have studied hard for many years to get to where I am today, and Ruidi has also come step by step, which is not easy. He deserved it, he earned it himself. His glory. Respectable and not jealous......"

Shen Li smiled with relief, patted him, and walked side by side with him.

Suddenly, someone shouted over there, and when he got closer, he found that it was someone from the seventh room of the Shen family, and that person saw Shen Rui and his party from a distance, so he shouted anxiously: "Second master!" Second Master Qin! The second grandma has launched! ”

Shen Qindeng, who was slowly followed from behind, changed his face, "Oops", and shouted, "Didn't you say that there is still half a moon, why did this start?!" "I didn't care about accusing Shen Rui, Shen Li and others, so I ran away.

Shen Qi hurriedly shouted from behind: "What are you anxious about!" I went back and changed my plain clothes first, and then went to the children's hospital after the fire smoked clothes and cleaned my hands! Don't rush! ”

Shen Qin responded from afar, and he had already squeezed through the crowd and was gone.

Shen Rui shook his head with a smile and said to Liu Xiangyun: "It's rude, don't blame Lord Liu." ”

Liu Xiangyun smiled and said, "Hey, this is a great event!" Lord Shen is polite, the Shen family has many happy events, and the little one will have to ask for a cup of happy wine today. ”

As they spoke, everyone unconsciously quickened their pace and hurried back down the stone bridge.

The "Virtuous Woman Bridge" stands quietly in the autumn sun, and the brand-new stone shines with a warm light.

Not far away, the ancestral hall of the Shen family, cigarettes curled endlessly.

Finally finished, happiness.
