The carriage was about to come to him, the speed slowed down, and the little guy sitting on the wheel recognized Shen Jin, hurriedly jumped into the carriage, and said, "But Uncle Jin?" ”

Shen Jin also looked a little familiar when he saw the little guy: "Dare to ask which distinguished guest it is?" ”

The little guy hurriedly said: "The villain belongs to the He family, and he came with the old lady of my family to see my aunt and grandmother." ”

The people in the carriage didn't wait for anyone to step forward, they picked up the curtain and came down, their hair was gray, it was the ninth master of the He family's side branch, the old father of the four-room Xiao He family.

The stepmother is the mother, and Mrs. He Jiu is also Shen Jin's cheap grandfather.

Although he has a bad impression of the He family's house, after looking at it in the past few years, Shen Jin has more respect for his stepmother's room. But that was when there was no incident, and now the lawsuit of the prefect's yamen is about to be tried, and the old man came to the door at this time, no matter what his intentions were, the result was similar to that of Zongfang He's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returning to their parents' home. In the eyes of outsiders, such a diligent movement is a signal of reconciliation between the two families.

Shen Jin only frowned slightly, but Shen Quan was a little impatient, these two were really endless. But the old man is here for many years, and he can't pick people up, Shen Quan can only hold back the coldness in his eyes, and follow Shen Jin to welcome He Jiu Master in. As for the rules such as Rexiao's difficulty in coming to the door, it has long been broken here in Shen Quan. Except for Shen Yuan, the nominal owner of the fourth room, Shen Quan has a brotherly relationship with Shen Jin and Shen Rui, so naturally he does not regard himself as an outsider.

The guest and host in the front hall were seated, and Shen Yuan, the head of the family, should have been notified to come, Master He Jiu was just an old showman, but he was Taishan's identity, and he was naturally a distinguished guest when he arrived at his son-in-law's house. It's just that Shen Yuan is now forced to "recuperate" in the study, and Shen Jin doesn't want to cause trouble before the lawsuit starts, so he directly ordered someone to pass the word to his stepmother, Mrs. Yuan.

But after half a cup of tea, Mrs. Yuan Da came in a hurry. She has been married into the Shen family for several years, and her old father is still the first time to come to the door, why don't she worry?

It's just that there is a stepson and Shen Quan, and Mrs. Yuan is worried and can't ask anything.

Seeing this, Shen Jin found a reason to take Shen Quan to retreat.

"Dad, but he was forced to come by the old lady of the sect?" Mrs. Yuan has always been a little shrewd, and she immediately thought of the key point.

Master He Jiu leisurely picked up the tea bowl and took a sip slowly, his face was no longer heavy when he entered the door.

"If she asked me to come, I came. Since you came back from Yangzhou, you have returned to Ningning, stayed for two hours, and now you are free, sit down and talk to me. When will my uncle's 'illness' be cured? The lawsuit is about to be fought, and he still wants to hide until the end? I don't have any responsibility, and I'm still not a man. The old man said unhurriedly.

In the eyes of the He clan, as long as it is the He family, they should work together to let the He family survive this difficulty. Maybe other people of the He clan will have this idea, thinking about words like "one is prosperous, one is lost", which originally meant to contribute to the clan, but when it came to the ninth master, he was more willing to stand by and watch the jokes.

Now it is the second master He who is involved in "framing the Shen family", and there is also a suspicion of instructing people to kill people, even if the crime is implemented, it is only a beheading of the prison marquis, and it is not a crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family. Although the sinner has some impact on the future of the children of the He family, it is just the same clan. How did the He family's clan calculate the Shen family, He Jiu didn't have the heart to inquire, but he remembered that there was a life of the eldest daughter between his family and the clan, and the youngest son was almost killed in the capital. If it weren't for the fact that the current patriarch of the Shen family, Mrs. He, was vicious, she first wanted her sister to be her stepfamily, and then because of jealousy, she would have used indiscriminate means to marry her sister far away, and the eldest daughter of the He family's grandfather would have died of a young illness.

The scheming Da He family behind the partial birth arranged for his daughter to marry far away from the elders of the clan, and the ninth prince of the partial house did not even have the power to take revenge. Maybe it's only in their family's hearts that they remember the poor five girls of the He family, and the others didn't take this seriously at all, otherwise there would not have been the second master of He who forcibly acted as a matchmaker again and married his sister into the fourth room of the Shen family to fill the house.

At that time, there was a son who had not yet taken the township test, and Mrs. He Jiu did not dare to offend the sect, so he could only endure it, and it was his daughter who nodded, so he agreed to marry his daughter; When his son encountered danger in the capital, not to mention Chunqiu, he almost lost his life, and Mrs. He Jiu also hated the sect to death.

Mrs. He also counted on Master He Jiu to come over to ease the relationship between the two families, so that Master He Jiu would not contribute, that is, there was no chance, otherwise he would be more willing to fall into the ground.

Old and not dead as a thief, Master He Jiu also has his own survival wisdom.

Grandma Yuan, however, couldn't help but be a little worried, and frowned: "Dad, if the second master asks for the crime, will it affect my younger brother's future?" ”

Master He Jiu sneered: "Your brother has just started, and he is a sesame petty official in the outside place, who will pay attention to it to the end." After more than ten years, he survived, and the matter was almost gone. It's the old man in the capital, if the younger brother really asks for the guilt, the future is almost over. In this way, the root cause is broken, and the sect of the province is fighting for the tiger. ”

Grandma Yuan didn't care about Master He, as long as she didn't involve her brother, she would be at ease.

The Shen family is arrogant and confused, and the He family is selfish and vicious.

Although they are of the same clan, Grandma Yuan did not expect the clan to mention her own brothers, otherwise there would be no poisoning before the Spring Festival. Moreover, compared with the relatives who are not close, Shen Jin, the righteous champion stepson, can be relied on more. She is not a black-hearted stepmother, and she has no own flesh and blood, so she can't provoke Shen Jin.

Although Shen Jin was unkind to Shen Yuan and lacked a little bit of filial piety, but in the eyes of Mrs. Yuanda, she knew in her heart that Shen Jin was still kind, not such a bitter person. is the younger brother's side, on the same list as Shen Jin, one is the champion, and the other is the top three, although he doesn't expect Shen Jin to mention it, but as long as there is a mutual help in the future, it is good. When she got married, Shen Jin was already fifteen years old, and it was a lie to say anything about "nurturing grace", just looking at the status of stepmother, treating her younger brother as half a relative, Mrs. Yuan was satisfied.

Knowing his daughter Mo Ruo's father, Mrs. Yuan's politeness to Shen Jin is not like a mother to son at all, Master He Jiu understands his daughter's intentions, touches his beard and praises: "Xiao Shen Zhuangyuan is a good one, as far as the son-in-law's foolish temperament, I was worried that he would come out to participate in the lawsuit between the Shen and He families." After all, there is a champion son here, and he has more confidence. Now that he is pretending to be sick to the end, although he seems to be cowardly, he also has a lot of peace of mind. ”

In the eyes of the world, the three outlines and five constants are the rules of death, not to mention a lady like Mrs. Yuan, who is deeply taught by etiquette. Even if he understands that Shen Jin's restriction on Shen Yuan is right, this "son and prisoner father" is also staggering.

Mrs. Yuan also slandered Shen Jin a little more because of this incident, but in the end, she knew the severity, even in the face of the old father, she didn't say anything, only said: "Shen Rui is back, and the second master in the second room is also here. ”

The only original son-in-law will be inherited, which can't be said anywhere. In the second room of the Shen family, there is still an old relationship with the Sun family, and the reason why I am not worried about the blood of the Sun family; Shen Yuan here, one wolf-hearted thing after another is in front, and there is the good reputation of the Sun family in front of him, which has also become a big joke.

If Shen Rui and the second room are not there, and Shen Jin, the champion son, is there, Shen Yuan may still be high-spirited; With Shen Rui and the second room here, Shen Yuan is about to be short of breath.

*

In Shen Jin's study, Shen Quan paced left and right, not knowing what to think, and snorted coldly.

Shen Jin shook his head and said, "Third Brother Quan, don't worry, even if Master He Jiu comes to intercede?" How the lawsuit will be fought, and how the second master of He will be convicted, is something that the six clan brothers and the second uncle of Zhou should worry about, and I can't speak! ”

Shen Quan was still not at ease, so he stopped and said, "But if she lowers her face and begs you, can you still refuse?" Although she is young, her name is there! ”

Shen Jin said: "She begged her, I'm not a fool, how could I get involved in this matter at this time?" ”

Second Master He is not a first-time offender, he has already harmed the Shen family once or twice before, and the matter on the third side is just a means of profit in the shopping mall, but the matter of the Sun family in the early years was a public outrage. The Sun family has been doing good deeds for decades, and the people who have helped are not one or two, these people can watch Second Master He calculate the inheritance of the Sun family? If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have to be close to the fourth room of the He family, in order to smooth out this matter.

If you were someone else, you might forget about it, but Shen Li would definitely not, Shen Jin would not, and Shen Rui was here, how could he give up this opportunity.

Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and it is not that the time has not yet come for not retribution.

Second Master He has been rampant in Songjiang for all these years, only thinking that he is smart, calculating this and that, and there is no bottom line every time, and he should get retribution.

It is estimated that after half an hour, a maid from the upper room came to spread the word that the old lady of the in-laws family was leaving.

Shen Quan and Shen Jin glanced at each other, slightly surprised, and followed the maid to the upper room to see off the guests.

Mrs. He Jiu was still worried, but he didn't say much to Shen Quan and Shen Jin, politely said goodbye, and didn't give out his grandfather's seniority because of his identity.

Although Shen Jin and Shen Quan were a little surprised in their hearts, they still politely and thoughtfully sent Mrs. He Jiu away.

Mrs. Hongda was originally fine, but it was strange, but on the way to give it away, her eyes were red, and her eyes were crying, and she couldn't stop it.

Shen Quan saw that the corners of his mouth twitched, and he glanced at Mrs. Hongda's handkerchief several times curiously. How much pepper oil did it take to wipe it off like this?

When the group arrived at the gate, Mrs. He Jiu's spirit disappeared all of a sudden, as if he was ten years old all of a sudden, and he only nodded to Shen Jin and Shen Quan, and sighed and helped the little guy to get into the carriage.

Shen Jin couldn't help frowning, and it seemed that the atmosphere at the gate was becoming more and more cold and unfamiliar.

Shen Quan's heart moved, pretending not to care about the sweep, and he saw several figures at the mouth of the alley, and his expression turned cold.

Looking at the old father's rickety back, Grandma Hongda thought of her sister who died early, her brother who was almost ruined of her future, and the persecution of the old father by the sect, she was really sad, and tears fell again.
