Chapter 512: Blood and Tears (2)
"The deceased husband is still saddled with the suspicion of 'being a collaborator', didn't the Shen patriarch expelle the deceased husband for fear of being implicated that day, and now he is not afraid?" He Mu Ran said. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Hai's face was blue and white when he was covered by a sentence, but he couldn't argue.
Shen Ling's removal was proposed by Shen Ling's uncle and father, but as the head of the family, Shen Hai naturally has the right to object. He did not object, but pushed the matter along the way, but because among the three sons of the Shen family who were detained, Shen Jun and Shen Qi's charges were all hypothetical and had no evidence, only Shen Ling had indeed had business dealings with the Fujian businessmen who led the way for the "Japanese bandits" before, and the human and material evidence was complete, and it was the most difficult of the three to get rid of the crime. At the moment when Shen Ling was removed from the family tree, she had already become an abandoned son of the Shen family.
The deceased is the greatest, although the onlookers feel that the He family is disrespectful to the elders and the attitude is too "aggressive", they are just frowning, and it is not easy to accuse her of anything.
Shen Rui stepped forward and said, "What is Ling's second sister-in-law going to do next?" ”
When Shen Rui returned to Songjiang a few days ago, he visited the He family at the inn.
Because Shen Ling and his wife have been living with Shen Yuan in Nanjing for the past few years, and they are half a family with the second room, the He family did not transfer their resentment against the Shen family to Shen Rui, but looked at the child in his arms, showing a little weakness, and with perseverance, he said with tears: "Second Uncle Rui, I want to take my second brother back to Nanjing, but not at this time, I can't let him leave with the charge, and I can't let Brother Nan become the son of a sinner!" ”
Whether it was the onlookers or Shen Hai, there was a look of disapproval on their faces, and the major matter of life and death was naturally the first thing to be safe. As for Shen Ling's crimes, since Shen Li came back to preside, there will always be a day when Shen Ling will be innocent.
In Shen Rui's heart, he didn't believe in the set of "entering the soil for peace". Hundreds of years later, why there are often cases of "snatching corpses" between the two sides of the lawsuit, is not because the corpse is the key evidence. Cremating the body is also burning the key evidence, and the rest can be "turned into small things and small things" between the two sides. Although the Qin Cha who has been ordered to investigate the case now is Wang Shouren, a person trusted by Shen Rui, but the Jiangsu Academic and Political Council that will come soon will cooperate in handling the case, who knows if it will be in the middle and mud.
Even if He didn't mention it, Shen Rui would suggest that she keep Shen Ling's remains for the time being. Now that He mentioned it, Shen Rui said: "The younger brother has a private house under his name, which is in the east of the city, if the second sister-in-law Ling does not dislike the old and narrow house, she will send the second brother Ling there first, and wait until the steward is settled, and then the younger brother will return to Nanjing with the second sister-in-law." ”
There are elders in the family, even the younger relatives have to be simple in handling funerals, not to mention that Shen Ling is not a second brother. Shen Rui mentioned the "private house under his name", just to save other people's tongues, and the private house borrowed the mortuary of the He family, so that it would not collide with the elders of the second room.
He was moved, but he was not a person who didn't know what to do. Although Shen Rui's arrangement is not bad in terms of rules, a good house can be stopped for funerals, and I don't know how long it will take, and the house will be damaged in the future, and there are many taboos for self-residence. So, He said: "Thank you Second Uncle Rui for your kindness, but the deceased husband didn't end his life, or trouble Second Uncle Rui to help me find a temple and Taoist temple." ”
Shen Rui frowned and said, "It's the height of summer now, and if you want to stop the spirit, it's inconvenient outside." Besides, Ling's second sister-in-law is young and Brother Nan'er is young, so it's not good to keep a vigil outside. If Ling's second sister-in-law is unwilling to borrow someone else's land, the younger brother of that house will transfer it to Nan'er for fifty taels of silver, and he can't let Ling's second brother have no land in Songjiang. ”
Shen Rui has many properties under his name, some of which were left by the Sun family, and some of which were purchased by the Xu family when he came back that year to help Shen Rui. It's nothing to give a second house to He's family, it's just that He's temperament is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, self-reliant and self-reliant, and he will only refuse to give her when he opens his mouth, so Shen Rui only mentioned the transfer. As for fifty taels of silver, it just means that Songjiang is a big mansion, and the east of the city is a good place, so the house over there can be purchased for a few dozen taels of silver.
Although the He family is strong, he is not a bad character, and now is not the time to shirk, so he hugged the child and bowed to Shen Rui.
Where can Shen Rui take it, immediately avoid it.
Guo Shi saw that He was dressed elegantly, and there was only a fifty-year-old mother-in-law by his side, although he had the intention of not revealing his wealth when he went out, but he also knew that after two months, all the silver that could be made should be scattered, so he took a purse and said: "Since it is a place to stop the spirit, then take Brother Ling over." Even if he is no longer on the genealogy, just saying that he has gone through this experience with Shen Qi, I will rely on Lao Yi to recognize this nephew, here is a little bit of the aunt's heart, just look at Xiao Nan's brother's face, you don't have to refuse. After speaking, he stuffed the purse into He's hand.
The He family has a grudge against the Shen clan, but they can't talk about resentment against the five rooms, and they are not such paranoid people, why do they have three people who go in and only their husbands die, why are they not the minds of others. At the moment, this purse is fluttering, obviously it is not gold and silver, but Zhuang tickets, He choked up: "Thank you, auntie......"
Unwilling to return to the family and be buried in the Shen family cemetery, it is the true idea of the He family, not to take Qiao. But she married from afar, and she has no maiden family to rely on, and she can only accept the kindness of the second and fifth rooms now.
There is Shen Rui in the front, and there is the Guo family in the back, taking care of the future affairs of the children in the clan and relocating orphans, but there is nothing to do with the patriarch Shen Hai.
Shen Hai only felt that his face was hot, and he only felt that the people of the Li tribe were whispering, and they were all talking about their own wrongs. Where is the He family having a grudge against the Shen family, obviously they have a grudge against him, the patriarch.
Shen Rui said hello to Shen Li and Shen Jin, asked someone to pull a carriage for He and the child to sit on, and sent He's mother and son to the Dongcheng mansion.
As long as an old couple is sweeping the door here, Shen Rui is thinking about whether to call someone a tooth, Shen Jin has already sent the steward down and brought two people, and even has a deed. There are seven people in these two rooms, and they are all on the stove, the gatekeeper, the small servant, and the maid, all of which have to be used. Shen Rui directly asked the steward to give the deed to He.
Shen Rui first placed Shen Ling's body, because he didn't know how long the lawsuit would drag on, it was not good to start the mourning hall now, so he chose a north house in Beiyang, temporarily stopped here, and asked someone to pay a month's silver from the merchant, and asked the other party to send a few carts of ice every day.
Uncle and sister-in-law are different, since they have settled down here, it is not good for Shen Rui to continue to stay, so he left one of his long-term followers to run errands here to pass the word, and he said goodbye to the He family and left.
Shen Rui did not go back to the sect room, but went directly to the fifth room.
It was really Shen Qi who looked too miserable, and Shen Rui was afraid that Shen Hong would not be able to stand it when he saw it. is a good son, even if he goes home to keep his job for a while, he is only in his thirties, and he has not yet reached the time when there is no hope of raising a career. Not taking the test yourself is not the same as losing your eligibility to take the test. Shen Qi broke his right hand, not only was it hopeless to be an official, but he could only stop lifting people in the imperial examination.
is different from the gloomy clouds in Shen Rui's imagination, I don't know if it is because of the peace of mind since he was a child, Shen Hong saw the return of his second son, and his attitude was similar to Guo's, only joy and happiness.
When Shen Rui came in, it was a warm scene of Shen Hong's spirit chattering to Shen Qi. Shen Jin hadn't left because he had sent Guo and Shen Qi back, and he sat on the side, but his smile was a little reluctant. It's Guo, but it's not in front of him, I don't know where he went.
"In this world, it is difficult, only life and death are major events, and nothing else is nothing. If everything is perfect, I am afraid that God will be jealous. Brother Qi, you have to remember that as long as people are safe, God has mercy, and you don't have to worry about anything else. Shen Hong said.
The front of this is to comfort Shen Qi for what happened to him, but the second half of the sentence is slightly meaningful.
Shen Qi nodded and said, "Dad, don't worry, the Jiang family is the son's original wife, and the son only hopes that she will be safe." ”
Shen Hong looked a little relieved, saw Shen Rui come in, and said, "Brother Rui, I heard what your second brother Qi said, you are very good, you are right, you are benevolent, and you have the style of a mother." ”
It was obviously a compliment, but Shen Rui was shocked to hear it, just because Shen Hong's face was really too good, which was very different from his previous weak and sick state.
At this time, I saw that the maidservant girl picked up the curtain, and He personally brought in a bowl of noodles: "Didn't the master talk about shredded noodles with cabbage and meat in the morning?" I made a bowl, but did the master taste it or not? ”
Shen Jin and Shen Rui helped Shen Qi get up from the head of the bed, sat on the chair next to the bed, and gave up the bedside position to Guo.
Shen Hong looked at Guo Shi with gentle eyes, and was about to pick up the noodle bowl.
Guo said with a smile: "The master dislikes me, let me serve the master." After that, I picked out a chopstick noodle and sent it to my husband's mouth.
Shen Hong took two bites of noodles, nodded and said: "It's still the same taste, thirty-six years ago, I ate it when I first went to Taishan's house, it was salty and refreshing." ”
Guo Shi said angrily: "Since the master loves to eat, why didn't he say it earlier, and it wasn't a troublesome food?" ”
"I can't bear to ......," Shen Hong looked at his wife and said softly.
I don't want you to work hard for your family and raise your children, and then wash your hands and make soup.
Guo's hand trembled, he couldn't hold the noodle bowl anymore, put it on the small table next to the bed, and smiled with red eyes: "If you can't bear it, don't give it up......"
Shen Hong took Guo's hand: "The doctor said that I would not live to be twenty-five, but I passed my fifty birthday...... If you want to force it again, you will be too dissatisfied......"
Rao is no matter how strong the Guo family is, but the two young couples, who have been together for most of their lives, can't help but show their vulnerability at this moment and begin to cry.
Shen Rui and Shen Jin couldn't see that this was a "spiritual light", and there was a farewell scene in front of them.
Shen Qi's face also faded layer by layer, and his eyes became more pathetic.
Outside Shenjiafang, a carriage hurriedly came. In the carriage, Mrs. He's face was pale, and He Beisheng's face was a little more anxious, but he hesitated: "Mother, is it useful to intercede with the Shen family?" The second brother's crime is ......"
Old Lady He smiled bitterly and said, "Besides the Shen family, who else can you ask for right now?" If you want to say that your second brother wants to take advantage of the fire to rob the Shen family, if you want to say that he is the main one to harm people, I don't believe it! ”
As he was talking, he heard a faint cry outside the carriage.
He Beisheng lifted the curtain and looked longingly, and saw a few servants crying and sticking to the door not far away, hanging up the white lantern, and couldn't help but look at it carefully, and then was dumbfounded.
"What's going on out there?" Mrs. He looked at her son and asked.
He Beisheng lowered the curtain and looked frightened: "Mother, it's the fifth room of the Shen family, and the fifth room of the Shen family is ...... mourned."
