Xu Shi was stunned for a moment when he heard Shen Rui's words, and then frowned slightly: "Do good deeds? How did Rego come up with this? Could it be that he lived in a Zen monastery for three years and began to believe in Buddhism? ”

Xu didn't agree with Sun's behavior before his death, he couldn't even protect himself and his son, so what was the use of helping more people. For the flow of Buddhism, Xu has always stayed away, and he does not like Shen Rui to be influenced by Sun and obsessed with Buddhism.

Taoism seeks immortality, Buddhism cultivates the afterlife, and what they pursue is ethereal. Sometimes, it is also a means of evading the responsibility of the moment.

"Although I don't believe in Buddhism, my mother did. It is also appropriate to use the money she left behind to accumulate the merit she believes in. Shen Rui replied.

When Xu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although Sun is a good person, Xu does not want Shen Rui to inherit her so-called "kindness".

She smiled slightly: "How to do good deeds, Brother Rui has a manuscript?" ”

Shen Rui remembered the genealogy he had read in his previous life, and asked in a ghostly manner: "Uncle, if you donate the property in my mother's name to the court and benefit the place, can you give my mother a gift?" ”

Xu glanced at Shen Rui, and his heart softened.

In her opinion, Shen Rui's move was obviously because he wanted to act because he wanted to go through the second room.

Could it be that this child is bent on becoming a celebrity just to earn a gift for his deceased mother in the future? No matter how many good deeds the Sun family has done, he can be criticized for his background.

The greatest blessing of being a mother in this world is that "mothers are more precious than children". Shen Rui has this filial piety, and he is not in vain that the Sun family gave birth to him.

For other children, where would they have thought of such a far-reaching at this age.

I have to say that Xu thinks too much about things.

Shen Rui's original intention was just that he didn't want to cheapen Zhang Lao'an and Shen Juren's mother and son, and he remembered the genealogy he had seen in his previous life, so he asked this question.

Since Shen Rui had this intention, Xu Shi pondered, thought about it carefully, and shook his head after the most reluctant: "Kill people and set fire to the gold belt, build bridges and repair roads, and there are no corpses." People like us are the most taboo to be in the limelight, and such things as revealing wealth are the most likely to attract disasters...... If you are like your mother before her death, you are not afraid to quietly scatter wealth, but you are most afraid of taking it to the table and saying ......" Speaking of this, he paused and said: "At this time, when you are out of the second room, you donate those silver coins with great fanfare, and it will also cause criticism." Others won't think it's your own idea, but when I and your uncle coaxed your money, they coaxed you. If you stay in your hands, when you have fame in the future, enter the officialdom, and be able to survive to the court official, you will donate your biological mother's bequest as an heir, and donate a gift to your biological mother, which is also famous. ”

"Is this the only way?" Shen Rui asked.

Xu said: "You are the one who is the master of donating the property, and you should be the one who asks for a gift from the court...... At your age, and you have no merit, it is inappropriate......"

The genealogy is repaired every fifty years, and Shen Rui doesn't know if the article that the Sun family gave was added when he repaired the genealogy later.

"Then I will study hard, strive to enter the department as soon as possible, and then do this." Shen Ruidao.

Seeing that Shen Rui was sensible and could listen to persuasion, Xu was in a good mood, got up and took out an account book from the cabinet and handed it to Shen Rui: "Look at this"

Shen Rui took it with some confusion and opened it to take a look, but it was only a few lines.

On a certain day in a certain year, a certain month, a certain money bank withdrew a lot of gold and silver.

Deposit the silver money geometry of the master of the Zongfang, deposit the silver geometry of the Guo family in the fifth room, deposit the silver geometry of Zhu Yunming in Suzhou, and the silver geometry of the Wei family.

Shen Rui counted the gold and silver in his heart, 100,000 taels of silver, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Before and after Sun's death, all the properties under his name were deceived and sold, and the two weaving factories on the He family's side traded 50,000 taels of silver, and the Shen family's Zongfang, Sanfang, and Jiufang were also involved in the industrial transaction of about 50,000 taels. Because the whereabouts of the 100,000 taels of silver are unknown, Zhang Lao'an did not curse Zhang Yanniang and his wife who ran away with the silver.

Shen Rui has always felt that the "well-known" Sun family ended up too miserably, and it was not in line with her always acting.

Since the Xu family came out, the "lonely person", with the strong character of the Sun family, even if someone asked the Xu family to take care of Shen Rui, they would not let Shen Rui take advantage of the second room.

Xu sighed and said, "Look at your appearance, I thought of it." That's right, this is exactly what your mother left, she mentioned in her letter to me that she wanted you to enter Beijing, and these coins were also for you to make a backhand. The people over there in Songjiang look down on your mother too much, if you can't even protect the dowry, then it's not your mother. But she has a good layout in this game, there are a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, rather than leaving those properties in the fourth room, being worried about this and that, a little idea managed to take it away, and when you are older, it is not easy to say whether you can leave it, it is better to tear apart the faces of those greedy people and point directly at the hearts of the people. ”

With the momentum of the second room, it is not difficult to keep the property under Shen Rui's name.

Shen Juren was full of pigtails and grabbed a handful.

It's not enough for the Xu family to think about Shen Rui, Shen Rui is very grateful, but he also has to think about the second room: "If I am the heir and still hold the dowry of my biological mother, will it attract criticism and cause trouble to the uncle and aunt?" ”

"Jurisprudence is nothing more than human feelings. You are your mother's only son, and your mother and son have been treated harshly by the four rooms, and the four rooms are not in the front, and no one in the clan will have any objections. Unless the four-room master is really willing to put down his skin and bring the matter to the court, there will be a dispute over the ownership of this property. You don't need to worry about this, since your second uncle Zhou has personally returned to Songjiang's house, he will handle everything thoroughly. Xu said: "It's just that Uncle Niang is here, you know it in your heart, so you don't need to put it on the table and say it, and you don't have to say donation." The three caves of the cunning rabbit, the higher the grade of your uncle, the more unstable the capital, who knows if there will be ups and downs in the future, this money plus I still have some private houses here, just with you in the south of the property. ”

Shen Rui remembered Zhang Lao'an's face and said: "Before my nephew left Beijing, my grandmother called me, and I was very concerned about my relatives, and I also asked about the family affairs of the second room; My father is the most important religion, and he cherishes his reputation for fear of provoking criticism. ”

Shen Rui said tactfully, Xu couldn't hear the meaning of his words, and he was immediately annoyed.

This Zhang Lao'an is ruthless, and the only grandson thinks about going out and going out, and he doesn't miss the slightest affection.

Xu suppressed his anger and said to Shen Rui: "Uncle Niang knows...... Regomo has to worry about these trivial matters anymore, just leave it to the elders, and you can only study in peace...... Your third uncle left Brother Qin and Brother Bao here, and after the fifteenth year, you and Brother Jue also went to make up the numbers and make him a student......

After talking to Shen Rui, the Xu family sent his servant to send Shen Rui to the new house in the side courtyard.

Shen Rui's new residence, just in the east courtyard of the middle hall, is behind the guest house where Shen Quan, Shen Zhu, and Shen Lin lived before, and it is a small two-entry courtyard, with more than a dozen rooms in front and back.

In addition to Hao's mother, Dongxi, and Liu Ya, the remaining four or five maids are all fresh faces.

Seeing Shen Rui come back, everyone was overjoyed.

Dong Xi has always been the most eye-catching, and he was not in a hurry to talk to Shen Rui, but took a handful of his hand, and said with a smile: "Second brother, we have a newcomer here, this is Chunyan's sister in front of the eldest lady, and she was pointed out to the second brother by the eldest lady." ”

Shen Rui lived in the second room for a few days, and he also knew that the first-class maids around the wives of the Xu family were named after their colors. The one in front of me is called Chunyan, so it is not first-class. The Xu family didn't make a special trip to mention it, but he came to be a little maid, but I don't know why Dongxi specifically mentioned it.

Chunyan was thirteen or fourteen years old, with a round face, smiled before speaking, and said: "Servant Chunyan, I have seen the second brother"

Shen Rui couldn't help but look at it twice, and said, "Look at your kind face, could it be that you are related to Mother Zhou?" ”

Chunyan smiled, revealing a tiger tooth, adding a bit of pretty: "If you go back to the second brother, it's the maidservant aunt." ”

Zhou's mother is Xu's companion, and her niece came over on an errand, which is Xu's compassion for Shen Rui.

Shen Rui was in the guest house before, and he also knew the guests in the second room; Now that you want to live for a long time, you naturally need someone who is familiar with the second room to inquire about things. Although Chunyan is not very old, there is a mother Zhou behind her, so it is naturally much cheaper to inquire about something.

After introducing Chunyan, Dong Xi did not leave others behind, and called several other servants over to give Shen Rui a gift.

Shen Rui saw it, and only said: "Although it is a few days late, in the end, it is the New Year's Festival, everyone else is resting, and it is not easy for everyone to clean up the house, Sister Dongxi remember to make up for the New Year's money"

Dong Xi responded with a smile, and when there was no one, he said to Shen Rui: "Second brother, it seems that the courtyard here has long been cleaned up, only the earth dragon has not burned before." At the beginning of the first day, the earth dragon was lit here, and the braziers were placed all over the house, and after a few days, the moisture was dispersed. ”

When Shen Rui heard this, he knew it in his heart.

It seems that the second room here, since the Xu family went south, there are also preparations to welcome the heir, with the location of this partial courtyard, although it is outside the second gate, it is not a guest room.

Because Shen Quan was in the West Guest Courtyard, Shen Rui went to the new house to take a few looks, and then went to the West Guest Courtyard.

Shen Zhu had already gotten up, sitting in the middle hall in homely clothes, in addition to Shen Quan and Shen Ling, who came to visit the patient, Shen Qin and Shen Bao were also present

As soon as he entered the room, Shen Rui sensed that something was wrong.

Five pairs of eyes looked at him in unison, and the sons of the Shen family had different expressions.

Shen Qin was annoyed and weak-hearted, Shen Bao was careful, Shen Quan was concerned, Shen Ling was full of envy, and Shen Zhu was black and could scrape off the frost.

"What's going on?" Shen Rui was inexplicable.

Shen Qin laughed twice and said, "It's my brother who is not good, so I just muttered Brother Rui."

Whoever doesn't talk about people behind their backs, who doesn't talk about people behind their backs.

With the relationship between Shen Quan and Shen Rui, even if Shen Qin said Shen Rui behind his back, it would not be a bad word.

It's just that these reactions from everyone are not ordinary. However, looking at Shen Zhu's face, Shen Rui also vaguely guessed in his heart that it was nothing more than something like the heir had been decided.

It stands to reason that when he came back from going out for a few days, he greeted Shen Zhu's condition first, but seeing that Shen Zhu was like a fried chicken, Shen Rui didn't bother himself, and only said to Shen Quan: "Third brother, have you finished talking here, and you can go with your brother to sit and sit ...... when you have time."
