Lee's Scholar's Mansion, Inner Study.

Two Confucian scholars dressed in green sermon robes entered the courtyard where the inner study was located, one after the other.

The scholar who was tiptoeing out the residual leaves in the water by the water tank in the courtyard immediately stood upright, stood with his hands down, and said respectfully: "Mr. Ning, Mr. Fan." ”

Mr. Ning, who is over forty years old, touched the three strands of beautiful hair under his chin, smiled kindly and nodded.

Mr. Fan, who was standing over, had a anxious look on his face, and his tone was quite stiff, and he only asked the scholar, "Is Doctor Zhao still there?" ”

The scholar nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes." is still acupuncture with the elder of the pavilion. ”

And the other scholar who was guarding the door had already reported in, and after a while, a long man came out and saluted: "The two gentlemen, please, the elder said that it was almost well, and it would not be in the way." ”

Mr. Ning was just about to open his mouth and say that I will wait for a while, but Mr. Fan had already raised his feet and went inside. Mr. Ning frowned slightly, didn't say anything, and slowly followed into the door with his hands behind his back.

In the study, Li Dongyang, the old man of the pavilion, was dressed in semi-new homely clothes, sitting on the Taishi chair casually, looking quite comfortable, but there were more than a dozen silver needles on his gray head.

Behind him, a doctor with a gray beard was picking up needles one by one.

Seeing Ning and Fan entering the door, Li Dongyang made a gesture and motioned for the two to sit down, and the chief on the side turned around and served tea up.

In the blink of an eye, the old doctor had skillfully put away all the silver needles, bowed down and said: "It will be the winter season, and the elder must pay attention to keeping warm these days." If you can sleep peacefully at night, then you don't need to use the prescription, if you can't sleep well, the prescription will take two doses, and the old man will come to the old man to administer the needle the day after tomorrow. ”

Li Dongyang thanked him with a smile, and led the old doctor out with him.

Mr. Fan spoke up again: "Does the elder feel better?" ”

Mr. Ning didn't say anything, only looked at Li Dongyang with concern.

It was as if the moment Doctor Zhao went out, he had taken away all Li Dongyang's spirit, his face was tired, and he sighed and said, "It's stronger than yesterday." Then he looked at the two of them and said, "Why did you come together?" Is there something important? As if thinking of something, he frowned and said, "He Boxing? ”

Boxing is the word of He Dongsheng. Since the accident of the He family, He Dongsheng has not run to the old mansion.

However, Li Dongyang already knew all the confessions in that case, and he was very disgusted with He Dongsheng's greedy businessman's younger brother, and he also felt that there was no possibility for the He family to completely clear this case. And He Dongsheng is running around trying to exonerate his brother, in the eyes of Li Gelao, who has been in the sea for a long time, it is not a wise move to make sure that he is really a brother, or he is fighting hard to protect his official hat, so he is also indifferent to him, and he will not see him again.

Especially recently, Li Dongyang has been unable to sleep at night, has an unbearable headache during the day, and is like a mountain official document, so he almost does not see outsiders.

He Dongsheng came twice in a row and didn't see Li Dongyang, and he didn't mention anything, so he left a few small chats and left gifts for visiting the patient.

Today, I think he finally couldn't help but say something.

Mr. Fan didn't say why it should be He Dongsheng, who was received by Mr. Ning, but he also came to report, and only lowered his voice and said, "It's He Boxing." Ge Lao, he is here to ask for a longer extension of the case, he said...... can bring down the two champions of the Shen family. ”

Li Dongyang's eyebrows jumped, and his eyes suddenly changed sharply, staring at Mr. Fan.

Mr. Ning slowly added on the side: "He also said that he could completely bring down the second room of the Shen family." ”

Mr. Fan showed a look of disdain on his face, in his eyes, only two Shen champions were valuable, and the second room of the Shen family had already declined after Shen Cangguo. And the two Shen Zhuangyuan, one is the son-in-law of Ge Lao's opponent, and the other is the one who has just offended Ge Lao because of his marriage.

When Li Dongyang heard the second room of the Shen family, the expression on his face faded again, he had recognized Yang Shen as a disciple, and the second room of the Shen family married the Yang family, and the fall of the second room of the Shen family was not a good thing for him.

Although Mr. Fan is young and has been following Li Dongyang for ten years, he still has the ability to observe words and feelings, and he looked at Mr. Ning with some annoyance, and still said: "He Boxing said that the Shen family's four-room in-laws, the Sun family, have a problem. It is said that Sun Mengsheng is a giant in southern Zhejiang, who married a daughter back then, and the marriage was hundreds of thousands of taels, but with the power of the Yan family of salt merchants in Jiangnan, he had never heard of this person......"

Li Dongyang looked disappreciative, picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly.

"This Sun Meng's background is a mystery, and the wealth of the Wanguan family is even more strange." Mr. Fan said.

Li Dongyang still drooped his eyelids, slowly sipped hot tea, and exhaled softly, "There is no evidence, but it is true." ”

Mr. Fan was a little embarrassed and a little unwilling, so he coughed twice as if he was covering, and said: "If Sun Mengsheng is a bandit, the second room of the Shen family is a bandit." Sun is the mother-in-law of the champion Shen Jin, and now the father and son are born, and Shen Jin is the only son of the Sun family. And Shen Li also relied on the help of the Sun family to get to where he is today. If Sun is the daughter of a pirate......"

Li Dongyang only raised his eyelids slightly, and said lightly: "Evidence." ”

Mr. Fan hurriedly said: "He Boxing begged Ge Lao to give him some time, he has already sent someone back to Songjiang soon, and there will be evidence." ”

"He really thinks this is for his family's case?" Li Dongyang put aside the teacup and said with a calm face: "There is good news in the south, and when the war is over and everything is revealed, the case will naturally be closed." ”

Mr. Fan became more and more embarrassed, and he couldn't say anything to plead, so he said, "It's the student who wants to be left." ”

Mr. Ning twisted his beard at this time, and said with a smile: "Yicheng is also anxious about the old age, but he is a little impatient, He Boxing is anxious, what are we anxious about." ”

Mr. Fan lowered his head, lowered his eyelids, and slowly said, "The student is out of shape", but he didn't see that Mr. Ning's gaze was already hovering over the old man's face.

In his ears, he only heard Mr. Ning smack his lips and said: "Although there is good news, it is almost winter, and the water war is afraid that it will be more difficult, if the water bandit turtle can't shrink...... I don't know if it will be over a year ago. ”

There are nearly three months left until the Chinese New Year! Mr. Fan Huo Ran raised his head, there was a smile on his face, and he bowed down and thanked him: "The student is stupid, thanks to the elder and Ning Weng's order." As he spoke, he secretly looked at Li Dongyang.

Li Dongyang was still expressionless, and only took the tea cup again, but did not drink it.

Mr. Fan was interested and bowed and retired.

Seeing that he went out, the smile on Mr. Ning's face also faded, and he turned to Li Dongyang and said, "Elder Ge, He Dongsheng's move is very inappropriate, are we ......?"

Li Dongyang casually put the teacup on the table and said lightly: "His talent is not under Shen Cang, but his vision is too narrow and his mind is even narrower, so he is not able to use it. Leave it alone and see what he can do. ”

Mr. Ning nodded, since the elder of the pavilion had the intention of marrying his granddaughter to Shen Jin, the people of the Li Mansion had already investigated Shen Jin's surroundings, and they all knew that the Sun family was virtuous - filial piety to the mother-in-law and compassion for her husband, just ask how many wives who have a son-in-law are willing to raise the eldest son to be the champion!

In addition to taking care of the family affairs, she was able to repeatedly donate silver to repair bridges and pave roads, benefiting the clansmen in the township, known as the "virtuous woman of Shenmen", and the local prefect asked the court for a decree.

Such a woman, don't say that her father may not be a Jiangyang thief, she is really a strong man, and her good deeds over the years are enough to make the court forgive her, not to mention implicating her concubine. Do you still want to sit with Shen Li, a nephew of the side tribe? It's ridiculous.

He Dongsheng thinks that the elder doesn't know who the Sun family is?!

He Dongsheng is either clumsy and pretending to be stupid, or he is really stupid.

Mr. Ning's mind changed, but since he had just reminded Fan Yicheng, Ge Lao had no intention of stopping him, and he didn't know if Ge Lao was also curious about what He Dongsheng wanted to do.

"I hope he has a deep brotherly relationship, and he is out of order for a while." Mr. Ning sighed slightly. Although he didn't believe it himself, he still said it.

Li Dongyang snorted lightly, and said with some disgust: "Fang Cun is so messy that he leans on the East Factory?" After saying that, he waved his hand tiredly and said: "How many major matters have yet to be decided, so there is no need to waste his mind on him." Soon, it will be the inspiration of Emperor Daxing......" He paused suddenly, but then ordered: "However, the inner servant, you still have to pay attention." ”

Mr. Ning also put away his mind when he heard this, and he was solemn.

"He family, you have to be careful."

Shen Shangshu Mansion, Outer Study.

The Confucian scholar sitting opposite Shen Rui with a clear face and a bookish body was Shen Yan.

Shen Rui only looked at Shen Yan, silent, and waited for him to follow.

This person was supposed to be in Nanjing, but he suddenly appeared in the capital, came to the door rashly without posting, and said to the porter that he had something very important to find him Shen Rui, and when he entered the Shen family, he opened his mouth with such a sentence, which really made people suspicious.

Shen Yan saw Shen Rui's expression, and knew that this opening sentence had aroused his suspicions, so he sighed lightly and said, "After all these things, Hengyun is still suspicious of me?" But without waiting for Shen Rui to reply, he explained.

Originally, Shen Yan and Shen Xiu's brothers were preparing for the exam in Nanjing, but because of the filial piety of the Qiao family, they chose a good day to do a big Dharma affair with Mrs. Qiao, so they sent someone to send a letter to Shen Yan's wife, Xiao Qiao, early. There was no news of Enke this year, so Shen Yan accompanied his wife on a trip.

"I didn't expect to meet someone from the He family at Qiao's house." Shen Yan paused, his voice was a little quieter, and said, "Neizi overheard it, and it was to inquire about Uncle Yuan's mother." ”

Shen Rui's face was silent, and he couldn't help but burst into foul language towards the He family in his heart.

He originally suspected that someone was going to make a fuss about Mrs. Sun, and the first suspicion was He Dongsheng's. Without it, there are not many enemies of the Shen family, and there are almost life and death enemies, and under the current circumstances, there is only this one.

Shen Yan's words confirmed his conjecture.

Ask the Qiao family about the Sun family, how can you have good words?! I'm afraid that the Sun family once had a marriage contract with Shen Zhou, and I am afraid that I can't hide it. Shen Rui was quite annoyed in his heart.

Hearing this, Shen Yan said again: "And when I knew that my wife and I entered Beijing, someone from the He family also came to send some things, and a staff member came to inquire with me...... The old affairs of the Shen family. ”

Shen Rui still didn't say a word, just stared at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan didn't say anything, the two looked at each other for a long time, and Shen Yan suddenly smiled: "Good Hengyun, now I have good concentration." ”

Shen Rui arched his hand and said, "False praise." He added: "Since Mr. Shen is here to tell me this, don't whet people's appetites, just talk about it." ”

Shen Yan shook his head and smiled to himself, and said: "The He family asked about the old things in great detail, and that person also promised to help my father-in-law start a plan, and even promised my second brother a wife, a daughter next to the He family, both father and brother are talented and have a lot of money. ”

Shen Rui slandered in his heart, the He family's means of winning over him were really unchanged for 10,000 years. The face was still light and said lightly: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Shen Yan said: "My brother only learned about the Songjiang rebellion later, but ...... In the end, he wanted to avoid suspicion, and he was afraid that someone would make use of the old things, so he could only silently inquire about the news, and never went to Songjiang in person. Later, the truth of the case was revealed, and we also carefully inquired about the past and after. The wolf son of the He family, if he does not return to the sect, we are also surnamed Shen, and we will never conspire with the He family. ”

Shen Rui's face softened slightly, one was the instinct to avoid evil, and the other was that Shen Yan's brother was indeed embarrassed, if he really appeared in Songjiang at that time, it would be easy for people to take advantage of it. He didn't blame the Shen Yan brothers for not coming forward at all, on the contrary, he was glad that they didn't come to make trouble.

Shen Rui immediately arched his hand and said, "Then thank Mr. Shen for coming to report the news." ”

Shen Yan glanced at him deeply, laughed at himself, and then said: "I can guarantee my two brothers, Qiao family, Hengyun still have to pay attention." ”

As he spoke, he took out another piece of paper and a letter, and said: "I know that the Shen family must be indispensable in the south, but for the Shao family, it may be useful to my brother's place, Brother Xiu'er is much more stable now, if necessary, you can take this letter to Nanjing to find him." ”

Shen Rui already had a plan in his heart, so he didn't accept the letter, but only arched his hand again: "Foot collar is gracious." ”

After all, Shen Yan's face was crossed with disappointment, and he didn't say much, and said goodbye with a bow.

When Shen Rui sent him out, he suddenly said: "The He family has long been staring at the Shen family, and Mr. Shen is afraid that the house is too, so Mr. should be more careful." ”

Shen Yan was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "In the end, I owe you a favor." Okay, Hengyun, take care of each other. ”

Shen Rui didn't smile at all, and said goodbye, "Mr. Shen take care." ”
