Although Shen Yu is just a student, he is here, and he is a close branch of the clan, whether it is Shen Li or Shen Ying, he has to give this clan uncle some face.

After Shen Yu entered the city, in addition to the second room, a reception banquet was set up here, and Shen Li and Shen Ying also took turns to invite each other

It happened to be snowing in the past few days, and the third master and Shen Jue were a little uncomfortable, and the errand of accompanying Shen Yu and Shen Huan's father and son to go out fell on Shen Rui.

Shen Rui naturally had no objection, and sent someone to the clan school to take a few days off, and accompanied Shen Yu's father and son for two days

Shen Li, although he has always been estranged from his clan, but after all, Shen Yu's generation is here, and Shen Li and his wife are also polite and polite.

In the end, it was the Zhuangyuan Mansion, Shen Yu was not so uninteresting, and had a meal politely, the father and son were trembling, but they were more restrained than when they were in Shangshu Mansion.

Shen Li saw it in his eyes, and he didn't pretend to be affectionate.

This banquet for Shen Yu's father and son is not so much to give face to the sect as to the Shangshu Mansion. If Shen Yu hadn't lived in Shangshu Mansion, he wouldn't have this meal.

He is not even close to his cousins in the ninth room, let alone the relatives who have already come out of the five suits. Except for the Shangshu Mansion, the others are just face-saving.

and Shen Ji, due to different positions, the clan brothers have long been drifting apart; He has no ill feelings towards Shen Ying, but he knows his situation, which seems to be beautiful, but it is also thrilling, and he is unwilling to burden others in vain, and he has also reduced his contacts in the past few years.

When it comes to the fifth room, it is a different situation.

The relationship between the fifth room and the sect room is good, and Shen Ying and Shen Yu are also relatively familiar. In addition, Shen Quan went north this year, and after being taken care of by Shen Yu, he was very enthusiastic about entertaining Shen Yu's father and son.

There are five rooms for comparison, and Shen Yu's father and son also noticed Shen Li's alienation from his clansmen.

"I thought they were all of the same clan, the second room was noble, and the same clan resumed contacts, and the houses in the capital must be headed by the second room, hugging together, watching and helping each other, but I didn't expect it to be their own affairs. You can't write two Shen Lai with one stroke, it's not easy to be outside, why is this? Shen Yu said to his son in private.

Shen Huan said: "The lord is really worried about it in vain, when he is in Songjiang, the clan rules and patriarchal laws are there, and each room is willing to use the clan room to carry out the bull's ear; When you arrive in the capital, you will be smaller than the officials. Where does the clan work in officialdom? Could it be that the uncle of the second room is still a scholar, and the brother of the six clans of the second room is the champion, and his actions depend on the eyes of the sons and grandsons of the sect? Even if those brothers don't go on a blind date with each other, the respect for the uncle in the second room is the same, otherwise they won't give face to our father and son. ”

Shen Yu naturally knew this, nodded and said: "Brother Jue and Brother Rui are both good, although they are far away in the future, they should not move around less...... If my son can get ahead, he will have to rely on officialdom; Even if you keep your business at home, you have the confidence to do so. ”

"Although the second brother Rui is not bad, the son still hopes that the third brother is better in his selfish heart...... The third brother is one step later than the second brother Rui, I just hope that the in-laws can be better, and it would be good if the second uncle of Zhou was in Beijing......" Shen Huan muttered.

Shen Yu patted the back of his head and said, "Stinky boy, you also said that Lao Tzu is worried in vain, I think you are blindly worried." Although Brother Jue is good, his heart is not as good as Brother Rui. Brother Rui is the pillar of the second room, the better he is, the more Brother Jue can borrow, and their brotherly relationship is good, you don't talk about these useful and useless ...... in front of Brother Jue."

Shen Huan rubbed the back of his head and said, "I didn't say it, my son is not stupid......

Lu Sanlang has found Zen Master Hongshan and set a return date. Shen Rui took care of Zen Master Hongshan back then, so he had to go over and invite him again. Although Zen Master Hongshan is a monk and does not do ordinary entertainment, he did not stop Lu Sanlang and Shen Rui.

Although the Zen master is a virtuous monk, he is not only worshiped by the family, but also has a bit of incense for the juniors of the family.

The last person to be invited by Shen Rui to the Shangshu Mansion for a banquet was Lu Sanlang.

Just in time for Shen Cangxiu Mu, he also made a special trip to see Lu Sanlang and answer him with him. Hearing that he had no intention of making a distinction in his words, Shen Cang discussed with the Xu family and prepared a generous gift; Zen Master Hongshan, naturally, did not fall, it was a few out-of-print Buddhist books, as well as two strings of Buddhist beads, two sets of monk's clothes, and a Zen staff.

Lu Sanlang returned to the south with Zen master, and Shen Yu thought that the New Year was approaching, so he did not stay in Beijing, so he also took Shen Huan back to Songjiang.

When Shen Rui took Shen Jue out of the city and just returned home, he heard a report from the porter that a classmate from the school was coming and was waiting in the side hall.

Shen Rui was surprised in his heart, seeing that Shen Jue was in a state of cold wind for a long time because he went out to see him off, so he said, "I'll go to meet my classmates, and Brother Jue will go back and rest first." ”

Shen Jue and Shen Huan grew up together after all, and this time they said goodbye, they were also a little sad, and nodded and went back to Songbai Courtyard

Shen Rui went directly to the side hall, and it was not someone else who came, it was Qin Yao, who was good friends with Shen Rui.

Seeing Qin Yao frowning, sitting there in a daze, not even paying attention to Shen Rui coming in, Shen Rui said, "Guangyuan, what's wrong?" ”

"Hengyun is back." Qin Yao got up and said, "I took the liberty to come to the door and disturb Hengyun, but I was uneasy." ”

Shen Rui saw that he was worried, and said, "But Wang Ding is in trouble with you?" ”

Qin Yao smiled bitterly: "I really let Hengyun say ......"

Shen Rui smiled: "I usually see that you are also bold, why are you cowardly this time?" What can he do? He died of empty white teeth and went to Xuezheng to sue us, but right and wrong are not something he can decide with one mouth

"Hengyun, you don't know, Wang Ding has something wrong these days. On the night of seeing off Chongtang, he ran out of the house with a drunken madness, and I sent someone to follow, wanting to send him to the inn to settle down, not wanting to be pulled by him for a while, just in time to catch up with the patrol. Although he was disheveled, he was wearing a scarf, and no one beat him, but he was named. There is a custom in the yamen over there, and he must be removed only after knocking out the silver, otherwise he must report to the government school and let the school officials punish him for the crime of curfew and travel...... Wang Ding was afraid, so he came to me to borrow money, that tone was really ugly, as if I owed him, I was not angry in my heart, so I said two words to him, which made him angry......" Qin Yao frowned.

When Shen Rui heard this, he couldn't help but be a little worried about Qin Yao.

"I'd rather offend a gentleman than a villain", Wang Ding seems to be tall and square, but he is narrow-minded and gloomy. People like Shen Rui, who have nothing to do with him, can be resented by him in vain; Qin Yao directly rejected his borrowing money, fearing that he would regard him as an enemy of life and death.

"I heard the steward say that because of this, I know that Wang Ding is worried about the yamen...... He has always been famous, and he loves face, and I didn't want him to be really unlucky, so I sent someone to send silver to the yamen. I didn't expect that the removal over there had been eliminated, and it was said that Wang Ding had a noble relative who said hello...... I thought that the matter would come to an end at this point, I didn't want Wang Ding to be very different in the past few days, not only changed into brocade clothes, but also became arrogant, and also ran to me to warn me, saying that I don't need to be proud, if he really wants to, he can immediately call people in addition to my fame...... I thought he was joking, but Zhao Fu quietly reminded me not to offend Wang Ding, saying that Wang Ding recognized a noble relative who turned his hands and covered his hands with rain, and he would have to ascend to the sky in one step in the future...... I asked for a long time, only to know that Wang Ding's backer turned out to be a relative of the emperor......" Speaking of the most embarrassing queen, Qin Yao's face was already pale.

Although his family is a wealthy gentry in Jingnan, and his clansmen's in-laws also have scholars, they are all small sesame officials, and they are too far away from the class of the emperor's relatives and relatives. Zhao Fu is a classmate of Fuxue, a person from the capital, and has a good relationship with Qin Yao and Shen Rui.

Shen Rui couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

For the ministers, the relatives of the Ming Dynasty were just decorations and had little weight; But for ordinary people and officials, it is really not a person who can afford to offend.

Just like three years ago, Shen Cang collided with Jian Changbo for his nephew and personally came to the door to make amends, that was because the previous dynasty was connected to the harem, and Queen Zhang was there, as long as the Zhang family did not stand on the opposite side of the ministers, they would be invincible. And those who want to oppose the Zhang family or use the Zhang family as a springboard for the Taoist officials, either degraded or streamed, none of them will end well.

"Who is that noble family? The Zhang family, the Zhou family, the Wang family or the Sun family, the Qian family? Shen Rui said.

When today's harem, there is a queen, a queen mother, a queen mother, and the outer families are the Zhang family, the Wang family, and the Zhou family. As for the Sun family and the Qian family, they are the great-grandmother and grandmother of the Son of Heaven.

Qin Yao shook his head and said, "No, it's the Zheng family, Zheng Guozhang." ”

"Huh?" Shen Rui was surprised: "K Guozhang, in the capital?" ”

Seeing Shen Rui's reaction, Qin Yao's face became more and more pale: "Hengyun also knows him, so is his identity as the country's ruler real?"

Shen Rui was surprised in his heart: "That one is the one who is the state abbot?" There is no one to take care of these powerful people in Beijing? ”

Although there have been some rumors about the difference in Donggong's life experience in the past two years, they have not spread widely. But when this big living person entered Beijing, things couldn't go on. It's just that where did this "Zheng Guozhang" get the courage to really put on the posture of the emperor's relatives and relatives?

Qin Yao's face was gloomy and he said: "If you dare to come to the capital, it is naturally not fake; It's not fake, who dares to care about it? ”

Qin Yao is just a weak-crowned boy, and this time he is really scared.

"It's all my mouth, why do I have to compete with Wang Ding? I shouldn't invite Hengyun and Chongtang to have a private banquet, I'm afraid that this time it will affect the two of you......" Qin Yao said with a frustrated face.

Shen Rui shook his head and said, "Don't worry about Guangyuan, Wang Ding is just scaring people." The so-called K Guozhang is just a liar, he was able to succeed in fraud outside Beijing before, and he died when he ran to the capital. ”

Qin Yao raised his head sharply and said, "Really? That's a liar? ”

Shen Rui nodded and said, "It's just a clown jumping off the beam." The crown prince is the eldest son of the queen, and the world knows that he wants to turn his concubine into a concubine with a small mouth, isn't it ridiculous? In ordinary people's homes, the mother is in labor, and there are midwives and daughters around to take care of them; The number of people who serve around the noble family will be doubled; When the dragon landed in the palace, I don't know how many people were staring, where did he want to do his hands and feet? ”

As soon as he heard the words, Liang Yao, who was frightened, calmed down.

His eyes lit up, and he nodded busily: "That's the truth, bury the cat for the prince, that's the script...... How can the affairs in the palace be hidden from the emperor? ”

It must be said that the reason why this "Zheng Guozhang" is rampant in the capital is also related to the emperor's attitude.

The name of "Zheng Guozhang" spread to the capital for two years, and some officials reported to the emperor, but the results were all gone. made the government and the opposition a little uncertain about "Zheng Guozhang".

However, it was "Zheng Guozhang" who did not come to the capital before, no matter whether he was true or not, the palace could still be vague; Now that he has come to the capital, for the sake of royal face, this "true or false" must also be determined.

"It seems that Wang Dingbai is proud, and he can't borrow the light...... "Liang Yao Dalu said with a smile: "Let him go proudly, 'Your family, how can you be so easy to climb?' ”
