Shen Quan frowned, recounted what he had just heard, and then whispered: "Mother, Uncle Niang has not had children for many years in her early years, did Brother Rui come here in private?" Lao An people prefer their own grandson, so they don't want to see Rui Ge'er like this. ”

When Guo Shi heard this, he couldn't help but be annoyed, and glared at Shen Quandao angrily: "What are you talking about? Rui Ge'er is your uncle's bloodline who was conceived in October and earned half a life to give birth! ”

Shen Quan still didn't believe it: "If it is really the blood of the four relatives, how can Lao An people be like this?" Let the little guy be naughty, and he won't be allowed to read the book. Where is the love of grandchildren, which is the killing? Rui Ge'er has a reputation for being stubborn at a young age, and his mother has seen his previous temperament, and his son has not lied...... If the uncle really gave birth to a younger brother back then, would it be the younger brother Fubo, so he replaced Brother Rui to ......"

Guo couldn't laugh or cry, patted him on the head and said: "Bastard boy, I just said that it was a succession, and this will even be replaced...... Rui Ge'er is mother looked at the ground, and her appearance is seven points similar to your uncle's mother, and no one has changed the child. Rui Ge'er is not liked by Lao An, but he is just implicated by your uncle. It's just that I didn't expect her to do this, the old man was really ruthless. ”

Shen Quan's ears were erect and he was listening intently.

Guo Shi took two bites of tea, and there was no point in talking about it.

Shen Quan scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and said, "Mother is going to continue." ”

Guo's face had already returned to calm and said, "Don't worry, since your six clan brothers have listened to Rui Ge'er's words, they have to chase after you to ask what happened." When he came, he said, the provincial mother cost twice and salivated. ”

Shen Quan was full of curiosity and was hooked, where could he wait, just thinking about the Yang Mo Guo family, a maid said through the door: "Lady, the sixth master of the ninth room is here, ask to see the lady, and the housekeeper welcomes you into the front hall for tea." ”

Guo got up and took Shen Quan to the hall to meet the guests.

Seeing the mother and son coming together, Shen Li had a bottom in his heart, so he said bluntly: "I shouldn't have come to disturb the eldest aunt, but Rui Ge'er is in a worrying situation, and the nephew has doubts, so I really don't know how to help, so I came to ask the eldest aunt to solve my doubts." After that, he told him about the treatment that Shen Rui received from Zhang Laoan.

Guo has already listened to his son's story, and he sighed in his heart, although he is not a person who loves to chew his tongue, but because he is annoyed that Lao An is not kind, he has no intention of covering it up, and said: "Lao An people have accumulated old grudges against Yuan's sister-in-law, and they are almost inseparable from being regarded as enemies. For the sake of the eldest sister-in-law, it is not uncommon for Lao An to not love his grandson. ”

Shen Li was puzzled: "There is a bump between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which is also common, how can you become an enemy?" The aunt is so good-natured, the most virtuous, only filial piety to the Lao An people, and I have never heard of anything against the will of the Lao An people, how can the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law be so suspicious? ”

Guo Shi sighed and said: "It's a matter of four rooms, many people don't know that the year after Yuan's sister-in-law entered the door, Lao An had entered the family temple for a year and a half. ”

Talking about the previous situation, when the Sun family married into the fourth room, it turned out to be the patriarch's wife as a matchmaker.

Before the Sun family married into the fourth room, the patriarch told Shen Juren about the fourth room. Since the Sun family brought a rich dowry, he had to act as the head of the house, and Shen Juren did not love economic affairs, so he just concentrated on studying. Around the four rooms at that time, the family road has fallen in the middle, and there is nothing left of the ancestral property except for the old house and Botian.

Shen Juren was only a showman at the time, and although he was a little dissatisfied with his wife's businessman's background, the patriarch was a matchmaker and could help him with housework, so naturally he should not be.

After Sun entered the door, he was beautiful and gentle, and the husband and wife were very happy. I don't want the little couple to be happy, but it hinders Zhang Laoan's eyes.

Although Zhang Lao'an is also from a scholarly family, his mother's family has long been ruined, otherwise he would not marry into the middle of the family. Although the daughter-in-law entered the door, she should have sent her daughter-in-law in front of the patriarch An Ren to enter the house, but when the Sun family entered the door, she regretted it, not only holding the housework in her hands, but also putting her mother-in-law's score, bent on meddling in the Sun family's dowry industry.

Sun is the new daughter-in-law in the end, and she doesn't take care of her face and doesn't accept the four-room housework strongly. It's just that he is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and he didn't let Lao An get involved in the dowry industry. Zhang Lao'an became more and more troubled, taking advantage of the rules of his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to change the way to toss the Sun family. and under the pretext that Sun was pregnant, he gave several beautiful people to have sex with him, and tossed Sun's body for five months.

The grandfather's father was still here, and he came to visit his daughter in three or five months, and when he knew what happened to the Sun family, he didn't find the fourth room, and directly found the patriarch.

The patriarch's grandfather is a big matchmaker and has a personal relationship with his grandfather. The patriarch scolded Shen Yuan, sold all the houses, and took the initiative to send Zhang Lao'an to the family temple for "recuperation". Where are Zhang Lao'an's people, he was going to make a fuss, but he was persuaded by the Zongfang Lao'an people, and the dispute between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the four rooms came to an end.

However, this change not only made Sun and Zhang Laoan lose their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, but also hurt Sun and Shen Yuan's husband and wife.

Sun's mind is all on taking care of the four rooms and his dowry industry, the four rooms are thriving, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are regarded as strangers, and the husband and wife have no past love.

The Sun family has a good reputation and the support of the clan, and Zhang Laoan can't get used to it, so he can only endure it. When Zhang Lao'an came back from the family temple, he did not fight with the Sun family again, but accepted the good concubine Zheng with great fanfare in the name of Sun's "childlessness". When the Zheng family gave birth to Shen Jin, Lao An personally hugged him and raised him.

Although the Sun family takes care of the housework of the four rooms, he is more like a big housekeeper. The others are like a family of four, and the water from the two wells does not interfere with the river water. It wasn't until Shen Rui landed that Zhang Laoan hugged his grandson that day, as if he had a dependence, and his momentum began to become arrogant.

At this time, the grandfather had passed away, and the old man of the clan had also passed away, even if the patriarch was thrown away, it was not good to interfere in the housework of the fourth room.

Sun was sad when his son was just taken away, but there was no other reaction to fight back, and he once said: "It's good that Brother Rui is loved by his grandmother, I don't expect him to get ahead, I just want him to be a rich idler, safe and easy." ”

I don't know if it's empathy, the Sun family was stopped by Zhang Lao'an, and it was easy to see his own son, but he was a little closer to his son than before. Shen Jin's enlightenment is the cute teacher invited by the Sun family. The gentleman in the family study is uneven, and it is the Sun family who entrusted the prefect's wife to invite a well-known old Confucian.

Although the Sun family did not record Shen Jin in his name, he had no biological sons. Even after the Zheng family's brother-in-law was lifted, the Sun family also helped. Otherwise, a fellow jinshi from a poor family, where will the election of officials be so smooth. This is also the reason why Zhang Lao'an has promoted the Zheng family for many years, and the four rooms are still stable and stable, and there is no chaos.

When Sun was bedridden half a year ago, the peace between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was broken.

The Sun family seems to have no intention of being strong, and the old An people will place the Zhang family in the fourth room to marry her. Originally, the shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper that the Sun family was accustomed to were successively squeezed out by the Zhang family. When the Sun family died, the Sun family's dowry and companion room were even more missing, and I don't know whether it was the Lao An people who sent it out, or as the Lao An people said, it was the Sun family who released it.

*

In the flower hall, Shen Rui was not in a hurry to return to the mourning hall. Kneeling and sitting in the mourning hall for a few days, although he mastered some tricks, plus the knee pads tied to Guo's sewn, did not hurt his knees, but after kneeling for a long time, his calves and stomach were crispy and numb, and the roots of his thighs were also a little swollen.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Shen Rui put his calves on the chair and leaned over to rub them.

There is a champion brother here, and if he wants to ask for teaching, it is not "near the water and the building is the first to get the moon", and Shen Rui can't memorize the "three hundred thousand" completely, what he said is true or false. The real part is that the true memory is incomplete, because the memory of the master is scattered and vague, and he himself was enlightened by his great-grandfather with Confucianism for too long, and he has almost forgotten about the three thousand hundred of these cute books.

But for the imperial examination, Shen Rui was not afraid at all. Whether it is the Four Books and Five Classics, or the Eight Strands, they are relatively unfamiliar to the vast majority of people five hundred years later, but Shen Rui is not included among these people.

The eight-strand article is just a standard article. It may be unfamiliar to others, but it is really not a problem for Shen Rui. His graduate school focus was ancient Chinese literature, and his research direction was Ming and Qing dynasty and modern literature. In addition, he is really unconcerned about the four books and five classics, the eight articles, and the imperial examination.

Now what Shen Rui is thinking about is still the matter of Sun's dowry.

Shen Li began to investigate the family affairs of the fourth room, and this matter should not be hidden for long. It's just that Shen Rui, as the son of the Sun family, will wait until the matter is revealed, how will he gain a foothold?

For those weaving mills and the like, although Shen Rui is not greedy, he only feels a toothache for Sun to act like this, after all, he is in an increasingly embarrassing situation. When outsiders mention this, they will not say that the Sun family is kind and selfless, most of them will say that he is a loser, and his mother does not dare to expect him to keep his business.

Looking at Zhang Lao'an's actions, Sun's dowry donation seemed to be exposed, Shen Rui really wanted to go to the funeral as soon as possible, and hide from Lu in the name of filial piety, and the rest of the disputes would not do anything about him, a "child". Now I just hope that Zhang Lao'an will make trouble later, and his image of a "filial son" will be more profound, and he will be more or less innocent when the matter comes out.

Thinking of this, Shen Rui couldn't help but sigh. What a good background, a scholarly family, a wealthy family, and the identity of a son-in-law, how did the owner come to this point. The Sun family in the mouth of others is good, not incompetent, how could he let his son fall into this situation. Not to mention that Shen Quan doubted whether he was raised, even he himself was a little uncertain. Just thinking about it, I heard someone say: "Second brother has sore legs?" ”

Shen Jin is here.

Shen Rui got up and said lightly, "Big brother." ”

He didn't treat Shen Jin willfully and rudely like his master, but he didn't mean to be close. Who knows how much Shen Jin knows about Shen Rui, and how wrong it is to say more.

Shen Jin stretched out his hand, and in the palm of his hand was a porcelain bottle half the size of a palm: "This is a swelling reduction medicinal oil, let Sister Dongxi rub it for you at night." ”

Dongxi is the maid of the Guo family, and she has stayed in the fourth room to serve Shen Rui these days.

There was genuine concern on his face, Shen Rui thought that after the Sun incident, the ancestors and grandchildren would not become grandchildren, and the fathers and sons might not become fathers and sons, and they could not be enemies with everyone in the fourth room, so his expression softened, and he said with a little gratitude: "Brother Xie Lu, Brother Xie." ”

Shen Jin's expression became more and more soothing, and said: "If you are tired, don't hold on, take time to rest every day, it will not hinder filial piety......"
