Shen Ju scolded in his mouth, but his feet did not speed up freely. For this son, he himself can't tell whether he likes it or dislikes it. Because of the cold relationship with his wife Sun, he and Shen Rui's father and son are not close. But his wife is deceased, and as a father, he has settled in his heart more than just the responsibility of a father. Sun is not only the mother of the four rooms, but also the hero of the four rooms.

Shen Juren is a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, and he does not understand the economy, if there is no business for 20 years after the Sun family enters the door, there will be no current four rooms. Even if he wants to seek half of the Sun family's dowry, not only does he love the eldest son, but also thinks that the two brothers can support each other in the future.

The Shen family is a scholarly family, but Shen Rui is a person who is not enlightened in reading, and his future is limited, and he can rely on his father and brother in the future. Shen Jin is under the name of the Sun family, and his relationship with Shen Rui is even closer. Even if it is to look good in front of the world, Shen Jin will not abandon Shen Rui, a brother. To make it clear, when Shen Jin was recorded in the name of the Sun family, Shen Rui also became Shen Jin's responsibility, which is not only flesh and blood, but also involves morality.

It's just that I didn't expect it to be in this situation.

In order to force out the so-called "orphan people", he starved his grandson for a few days, and Shen Juren complained about Zhang Laoan's actions. As for Shen Rui's beating of the board by him before he was hungry, he left it behind.

When he walked outside the mourning hall and looked at Shen Rui, who was kneeling on the filial piety seat and burning paper money, Shen Juren couldn't help but be a little stunned. Who is this child who is kneeling quietly and with a sad face? Is it the arrogant and stubborn second son in memory?

He held his forehead, wanting to recall the old appearance of his second son, but the limited few pictures were just him scolding his son, Lao An was protecting, and Sun was silent. In front of his wife, he was not confident enough, he didn't even bother to reprimand back and forth, out of sight and out of mind, and the time between father and son became shorter and shorter.

Shen Rui was concentrating on burning paper money, his sleeves were pulled, and when he raised his head, he saw that there were more people in the mourning hall.

Shen Jin next to him had already stood up, and he also stood up. Shen Juren coughed twice, and said to Shen Jin with a straight face: "You are the elder brother, look for more of your younger brother." ”

Shen Jin hurriedly bowed down and said, "Master Venerable commands." ”

Shen Juren looked at Shen Rui again, frowned, and said, "Good students follow your eldest brother to keep filial piety, don't be weird!" ”

"No." Shen Rui replied lightly.

When Shen Juren saw his lukewarm appearance, he felt that his chest was blocked, and he suddenly lost the interest in speaking, snorted coldly, and threw his sleeves away.

Seeing this, Shen Jin whispered to Shen Rui: "In front of the master, the second brother is somewhat submissive. ”

Shen Rui was quite surprised, glanced at Shen Jin, and saw that his face was full of sincerity, indeed out of kindness, nodded and said, "Brother Xie Luxie." ”

In the end, there was nothing else to say, and the two brothers continued to keep silent watch.

Guo Shi went home, asked a few words about housework, hurried over again, and saw that Shen Rui was still in the mourning hall, so he persuaded him to go back to the house to rest. Shen Rui had already decided to guard the spirit, so he persuaded Guo to go home again. Seeing that he insisted on this, Guo sighed twice "filial piety to the child", and did not force him to go back, but just looked at him with more and more loving eyes.

Parents in the world, who do not want their children to be filial. Shen Rui was at a young age, and he insisted on keeping the soul for his mother at the beginning of his serious illness, which shows that he is really filial. However, when he saw Shen Jin beside him, Guo was a little uneasy, and when he returned home, he called his youngest son Shen Quan over, and stayed here to take care of Shen Rui under the pretext of guarding the soul of Sister Daifu for the Sun family.

Sister Fu is the youngest daughter of the Guo family, who was born with a difficult birth, and because of Sun's help, she was able to land safely. When the moon was full, Guo took his daughter to the door and recognized Sun as his mother.

Now that Sister Fu is only six months old, Guo's arrangement for her youngest son to "guard the soul on behalf of her sister" is reasonable.

Shen Quan and Shen Jin are the same Geng, fourteen years old, older than Shen Jin, and have passed the county and government examinations, but they failed in the hospital examination, and they are only considered children.

Guo's three sons and one daughter, the eldest son was the first son to fall in the spring of last year, because he wanted to participate in the next subject examination, he did not return to his hometown after the first place, and stayed in the capital to study. Guo was open-minded and sent his eldest daughter-in-law to Beijing to take care of his son's daily life. The second son is Gongsheng, who is now a prisoner in Nanjing.

Guo's husband Shen Hong is not in good health, but Shen Quan has become Guo's helper, taking care of household chores, but he is a little mature and stable. Since he was ordered by his mother to come, he naturally took care of Shen Rui. However, he and Shen Rui are several years old, and they are not familiar with each other, so they will not say anything for a while.

He had heard about Shen Rui's mistreatment. Although he couldn't look down on Zhang Lao'an's behavior with Master Shen, he didn't think that the fault should be attributed to Shen Jin.

He and Shen Jin are brothers, and they are classmates in the neighborhood, growing up together, and they know Shen Jin's temper best. Although Shen Jin is a concubine, she has a peaceful temperament, and she does not have the obscene stinginess of an ordinary concubine. It's just that he was detained by the Zheng family, and he only buried himself in reading all day, and he didn't understand the world, so he really didn't have any bad intentions. As for occupying Shen Rui's "filial piety" and the like, in his opinion, it is just filial piety to his mother-in-law, and it is definitely not as speculated by the clansmen, who have saved so many calculations.

Shen Quan also distinguished Shen Jin in front of the old lady of the fifth room and the Guo family, and the two elders were noncommittal. It is really Shen Juren's intention to embezzle his wife's dowry is obvious, and what Shen Rui has suffered in the past few days is too unbearable, which has to make people think about it more.

In contrast to having a good impression of Shen Jin, Shen Quan did not have a good impression of Shen Rui.

Shen Rui's stubborn temperament is something he has seen. The first time he was beaten was because of Shen Rui. He was ten years old at the time, but he was hit on the forehead by a stone thrown by five-year-old Shen Rui, and he still has a scar the size of a little finger at the corner of his hair.

He wanted to sue his parents, but his brother persuaded him, but in the end, he couldn't do it. I was beaten by a five-year-old, and it was disgraceful to say it. Besides, the two housemothers have a good relationship, so they can't be guilty of making a disagreement about these trivial things. It's just that he has a long memory in his heart, and he has avoided the little overlord next door since then.

Unexpectedly, the phoenix also had a time to land. Is this still the little bully? Didn't you change the core? Shen Quan, who was looking at Shen Rui, was shocked in his heart.

This well-behaved and polite honest appearance almost dazzled his eyes.

Shen Ruizhi felt that his scalp was numb, and he was really uncomfortable being stared at by Shen Quan, so he turned sideways and said, "Third Brother Quan has been staring at his younger brother, but there is something to order?" ”

Shen Quan touched his chin, laughed twice, and said, "I haven't seen Second Brother Rui for some days, but I don't dare to recognize it." ”

Of course, Shen Rui knew that he was different from the original owner, but the Shen family didn't see anything, and the clan brothers next door didn't have to worry, so he lowered his head and stopped talking. Even if others see that he is different from the owner, who experienced the pain of losing his mother, was beaten by the board, and was almost starved to death, the change in temperament is also reasonable.

Above the mourning hall, is it not a place to laugh Shen Quan looked at Shen Ruixiao's mother's face, thinking about the kindness of the Sun family during his lifetime, and also regained his solemnity.

The pattern of the three-person wake-up has become a common practice from this day on.

The fact that the Sun family accepted his sister as a mother has long been a well-known thing. Now that Shen Quan came on his mother's orders, although Shen Juren was a little uncomfortable, he didn't want to make extraneous branches, so he let it go. However, Zhang Lao'an thought a lot, and privately called Shen Juren to nag, only saying that he wanted to prevent the Guo family from borrowing the name of his daughter, and sharing the private house of the Sun family's dowry.

Shen Juren is worried about the reputation of the four rooms these days, where can he hear this, and he comforted Lao An for a few words, and then slipped away through his son. As for Zhang Laoan's forcing him to count the assets of Sun's dowry as soon as possible, he also prevaricated again.

If you really want to act like that when the Sun family is filial piety, you really don't need the face of the four rooms. Moreover, since the Sun family was bedridden, the outside of the Sun family was gradually controlled by Uncle Zhang and several uncles of the Zhang family. Shen Juren has not heard of his uncle's family taking advantage of him, but for the sake of Zhang Laoan's favors, Shen Juren did not bother with his uncle's family for a few coins.

For a few days, although Shen Rui was a vegetarian, he was full of food, and his weak body was getting better, but his heart was not steady. There is no other reason, I really can't rest assured that Wang's mother and Liu Ya are not at ease. originally thought that since these two people were bought by Shen Li, even if they were not resold by Shen Li and returned to him, there should be news back, but there was no news. Could it be that the board is hit hard, what's wrong?

When Sun's "Erqi" arrived, Guo and Shen Li both came to the door.

There was no need for Shen Rui to take the initiative to ask, Shen Li privately told him about it: "I heard Aunt Hong say that you are worried about the two adoptive maids and maids you sold, don't worry, their illness is almost over." It's just that it's not good to send it back to you now, otherwise I don't know what Lao An will say. When the aunt is done, I will look at the arrangement of the two of them. ”

Shen Rui thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Sixth brother, did they say that Lao An people deliberately starved and froze me?" ”

Shen Li shook his head and said, "I asked carefully, the two of them were temporarily arranged by Lao An to serve you, not by Lao An's side." I looked at Lao Anren as if the two of them were alone, and they had nothing to do with others, so it was easy to dispose of, just like selling people this time. If you choose someone else, you may have to sell the family. For the rest, the sixth brother will continue to investigate, Rui Ge'er is still young, just take care of his life, don't think about this. ”

Shen Rui saw him solemnly and knew that there must be other ** things in this, after all, Zhang Laoanren's previous arrangements were too strange. He knew about Sun's dowry, and guessed that most of it was Zhang Laoan's "anger", and others looked at Sifang who acted like this, and he was suspected of "killing and seizing wealth".

Shen Rui didn't mention this matter for the time being, but said with a straight face: "Sixth brother, after my mother enters the ground, I want to follow the sixth brother's example and keep filial piety in front of my mother's spirit." ”

When Shen Li heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then frowned: "No, you are young and frail, and it was Layue at the time of the funeral, where can you withstand this?" Filial piety is not here, you take care of yourself, and your aunt will be at ease. ”

Shen Rui smiled bitterly: "If you are in front of others, my brother will only say where filial piety is, and it should be like this." In front of the sixth brother, the younger brother told the truth, the younger brother wants to live, and the younger brother wants to study like the sixth brother and get ahead. But if it is in this family, the younger brother does not know when he will be 'sick' again, and when he will be subject to 'family law' again. Even if you don't get sick and don't suffer from the board, you are still a 'stubborn and willful' person, and I don't know what kind of bad character you will have a bad reputation. I used to be young, and my mother was there, even if there were gossips, it didn't matter, but now I'm getting older, and I'm in filial piety, and I'm not very much later, my tongue can eat people, and my brother is really scared......"
