Volume 1 - Who Have Seen Again Chapter 229 - Preparing for a Rainy Day (3)
With the arrival of Shen Zhou's family in Songjiang, the news that the second master of the second room was released from the fourth grade senator also spread among the clan immediately.
The happiest person is the four-room Shen Juren, since the end of the township test, he pinched his fingers to calculate the time of the alternation of teaching positions. Even if Shen Zhou promised to be good before, he still couldn't help but have the heart of a villain, afraid that something would change.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhou was released and passed by Songjiang.
Shen Juren has also entered Beijing twice before, but his name is Sun Shan, and he has no heart for his career. Now that it has been hooked, this thought is getting hotter and hotter.
Since the death of the Sun family, the four rooms have been full of twists and turns, and Shen Juren can be regarded as having seen the hot and cold state of the world.
Even if it is a clansman, why everyone is willing to flatter the second room is just the word "power".
The He family Ding was originally defeated by the Shen family, why did he faintly have the intention of competing with the Shen family over the years, but it was the eldest man of the He family who became a jinshi and became a Beijing official; And the two masters of the Shen family clan have fallen behind, and only when they reach the jade generation do they come out.
Shen Juren couldn't wait even a day, and when he got the news, he immediately prepared a prayer post and went to the sect's room.
Although Shen Zhou didn't like Shen Juren, he didn't mean to break his promise. After meeting Shen Juren, he also responded to Shen Juren's desire to move with him.
Shen Juren was relieved in his heart, thanked him repeatedly, and hurriedly went home to prepare his bags.
After all, Shen Zhou was on his way to take office, even if he passed through Songjiang, it was not good to stay for a long time, and he would have to set off again after three or two days of rest.
Because the assessment of local teaching positions is based on the results of the township examination, the results of the township examination will come out, and the evaluation results of teaching positions at all levels will also come out.
Shen Zhou's previous position for Shen Juren was a professor of Yangzhou Fuxue. The professors there are old, and they are about to retire when they expire this year, so Shen Zhou dragged Master Qiao San to "book" this teaching position.
In the eyes of the ordinary people, the professor of Fuxue is also an official, in fact, above the officialdom, it is not uncommon for someone to really have a way. Therefore, it is very easy to operate.
Shen Juren paid attention to the professor's affairs and how to arrange the affairs of the family, and he had already made a decision in his heart.
Zhang Lao'an is getting older and more left-handed, Qiao is so docile and shy, but she can make things difficult and make the family uneasy. Even if she was the biological mother, Shen Ju only had resentment left in her heart.
If he had a choice, he naturally wanted to leave Zhang Lao'an in Songjiang, and he would be clean. However, thinking that after half a year of poverty, the Zhang family began to be restless again, Shen Juren did not dare to leave Zhang Lao'an at home.
Otherwise, she is the identity of the old housewife, and there is no one to restrain her actions, so she will move all four rooms back to Zhang's house.
The affairs of Songjiang's side can also be handed over to Shen Jin.
Although Shen Jin was first-class in the previous annual examination and subject examination, and had the qualification for the township examination, he missed it in the end. If you want to participate in the next township examination, you can't leave Songjiang, and you have to participate in the annual annual examination.
Even if there is no annual exam, Shen Juren does not plan to take Shen Jin.
Although Shen Jin and Qiao's are mother and son, they are of the same age, and in the past half a year, because Shen Jin has been recuperating at home, they have lived in one family, and there is always a time to take care of each other.
Shen Juren's own actions were uneven, and when he looked at others, he was also suspicious, and he was very protective of Shen Jin. At the same time, he was also worried that compared with Shen Jin, a young man, Qiao's would dislike him for being old.
Suspicious, Shen Juren's heart became more and more dry. If it weren't for Qiao's gentleness and pettiness, Shen Jin has always been filial and respectful, he would have had a seizure a long time ago.
Now that Qiao and Shen Jin can be separated, Shen Juren is also secretly relieved......
Zongfang, in the patriarch's room.
After talking to Shen Zhou, the eldest master of the sect came to find the patriarch's wife.
Shen Zhou proposed that he wanted to take two nephews to Nanchang, and asked the patriarch and the eldest master of the clan to choose two proper ones
Shen Zhou's foreign appointment, in addition to the staff and stewards and others, is willing to mention the middle and younger generations of the Shen family, which is also good for the Shen family. Similarly, Shen Zhou's move is also to help the cultivation of the second room.
When the patriarch and the eldest master of the clan heard this, they were naturally willing.
The younger brothers of each house in the clan, except for the three-room business, most of the other houses are studying for business, but the career of the imperial examination, where is it so easy, not everyone can be examined.
Following Shen Zhou's side is not a way out.
"The third brother was spoiled by the Qu family, and the fourth brother was too cowardly to mention it, and the most appropriate person in the sect room was the second brother. Although the second brother can't study, he can treat people and things well, but the family can't do without him......" The eldest master of the sect sighed.
The patriarch said: "The clan should not participate in the alliance, I don't have to embarrass Brother Jue for other heads, and the children of the imperial examination are hopeless, but I can also choose two, I am not afraid that he is stupid, and he is divided into the upper ......" Speaking of this, he paused and said: "Forget about dragging the family with a mouth, choose from those who have never married." ”
When the eldest master of the sect heard this, he thought about it in his heart and understood the intention of the patriarch.
In officialdom, the most common means of alliance is marriage. Even if Shen Zhou didn't take his daughter south, he made it clear that he would not marry his daughter outside Beijing. Shen Luo is only thirteen years old, and it is still early to discuss marriage. If you take two nephews who have not decided to marry to the south, and when you go to the place, you can also borrow the marriage to pull down the two allies.
The eldest master of the sect thought for a while and said: "Needless to say, there is only one Shen Jin left in the fourth room, and now there is only one Shen Jin left, and he is dedicated to the imperial examination...... The five rooms are all in the capital, Shen Ying now has a good future, if the people in the five rooms are pulled, most of them will be close to the six rooms in the future, and the six rooms have never been the top thing, the descendants are not good, and the children of the side branches have not stood out; The seven-room and eight-room tutors are good, but the brothers in the seventh house are young, and the eight-room Shen Liu is afraid that he is reluctant to let his sons not study...... There are nine rooms left, Shen Lin is a loyal character, but he can't even pass the county test, and his brain is too stupid......"
I thought that there were many children in the clan, but when I really talked about it from room to house, the eldest master of the sect was embarrassed.
That is, I want to follow Shen Zhou and do some errands and errands, and I can't be young at that age. But if you don't get married, you can't get married.
At this age, those with slightly better qualifications will read.
After counting, the eldest master of the sect couldn't even pick out anyone.
"Clumsy is not afraid, it is a good thing to have a temperament, Shen Lin is one, and it is enough to pick a clever one to complement him......" The patriarch thought for a while and said.
The sect house should avoid suspicion, the fourth room is unmanned, the fifth room is now thriving, and the second room cultivation help must be selected from the rest of the house.
"Three-room ......" The father and son glanced at each other and thought of the three-room together.
Even if they don't like the old lady of the third room, everyone is of the same clan after all, and they can't watch the third room really fall. target
After Shen Yong and Shen Zhu's uncle and nephew returned to their hometown two months ago, the three rooms have officially separated.
The property of the three-room house is divided into two parts, one is attributed to the "sacrificial property" by the old lady, which is indivisible and inherited by the three-room house; The other one was divided into five points, one for the eldest master of the third room, and the eldest brother of the third room, as the eldest son and grandson, divided another share, and the remaining three shares, one for each of the three masters.
The second master, the third master, and the fourth master have worked hard for more than ten or twenty years, and the brothers worked together to earn tens of thousands of family businesses for the third house, but each family only got one-tenth of the family property, how can they serve?
The second master is still silent, but the second wife is not, uniting the third master and the fourth master, asking to come to the clan and ask the clan to be the master. The children and grandchildren of several rooms are even more frictional, and they can't wait to greet each other's ancestors when they meet, but they forget that everyone is an ancestor.
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder in the third room is getting stronger and stronger, the dispute is getting more and more serious.
The patriarch couldn't, so he had to come forward to mediate.
Although the old lady of the third room hates the disobedience of several grandchildren, compared with the list of ancestral properties of the third room, he also knows that this way of dividing the family is unfair.
But he was used to being partial to his eldest grandson, and he refused to agree to divide the family property equally.
In his opinion, the second, third, and fourth masters have learned the means of buying and selling, and even if they share less property, they can earn it back in the future; The children and grandchildren of the big house family are mostly studying for their careers, and they don't know how to do business, and they need a solid family business for studying.
When Shen Zhu and the others come out, they will naturally not forget the uncles in the other houses.
Now several masters first put their private property first, and then split up their families, which is really unconscionable.
He set the conditions for the separation of the family so harshly, it is not a reason to give the second, third, and fourth masters a step down, and it is better not to separate the family.
The three masters are shrewd in business, and they are not stupid, and they have endured all kinds of injustices over the years, but they are supported by filial piety and friendship. When they saw the old lady's methods, they also made a decision.
Home must be divided, but I don't want to be cheap for a long house.
Things got up until the big brother of the long room "accidentally" fell into the pool and almost didn't die, and then the long room and the fourth room even the master led the people to fight, and put them in four or five.
The old lady of the third room finally gave up, took a step back, and redistributed the family property. Give five of the ingredients to the eldest master, the remaining fifty percent, forty percent to the second master, the fourth master, and the remaining one component to the third master.
This is his bottom line, and the industry of the Changfang family cannot be less than fifty percent.
Although the three masters were reluctant, they couldn't do anything.
The three-bedroom family has been tossed for more than half a year, and everyone is already physically and mentally exhausted.
The old lady of the third room is partial to the eldest grandson, although he is regarded as an old fool, but their grandsons, who want to separate their lives and deaths, have a good reputation.
Their parents died early, and their grandfather raised their four brothers to grow up, and it is not their wish to make trouble so far.
The last few masters nodded and promised to give the eldest master fifty percent of the family property, but the second and fourth masters objected to the distribution of the remaining fifty percent of the family property. That is, the three rooms should be divided equally, and it is not because of the difference between the concubines and the concubines, so that the three masters suffered a big loss.
In this battle for family separation, the second master was in Beijing before, not in Songjiang, and the eldest master and the fourth master have always been fighting on the table. Brothers, almost like enemies of life and death, and even meet each other with blades.
Whether it is the Shen family or other people's families, they are all watching the jokes of the third room.
I feel that they are simply unworthy of being scholars, not only do business, but also don't even talk about etiquette and rules in order to compete for profit.
Who would have thought that after dividing the family and fighting for property, after the division to the most, and after the struggle to the most, the second and fourth masters would take the initiative to give up the property
The third master cried bitterly at that time, and the second and fourth masters thought about the three brothers' decades of hard work, but they ended up in tears now......
