Shen Jue, Shen Qin, and Shen Bao were all waiting for news from Shen Rui in Jiuruju.

When Shen Rui came back, when he heard that the Xu family had agreed, several people were a little excited.

Shen Rui looked at the hourglass on the windowsill and said, "Have you forgotten that there are still classes in the afternoon?" The third uncle hasn't asked for leave yet, can't he let me go up to the top tank this time? ”

Shen Qin patted his chest and said, "Let's go, let's go over there, I'll tell the third uncle to go."

The third master was reluctant to leave his wife, and when the time came, he reluctantly went to the school.

Seeing this, the third wife felt sweet and a little uneasy, so she sent the maidservants away, leaving Guo's mother alone and said, "Mom, am I wrong?" ”

Seeing her preoccupied appearance, Guo's mother hurriedly said, "Where did Mrs. think of this?" It's like this with a double body, it's easy to be cranky, and my wife thinks about it. ”

The third lady looked at the direction of the front yard and said loudly: "If I insisted on taking a concubine for the lord back then, maybe the lord would have already had children under his knees...... Mom also saw it, and the lord was looking forward to his own flesh and blood......"

Guo's mother knew everything about that year.

After the third wife got married, she had no pregnancy for three years, and she felt guilty and uncomfortable, and she took the initiative to mention that she would give the third master a concubine to reproduce blood, but the eldest lady did not nod.

The eldest lady asked someone to invite a doctor, concealed it from the third master, and quietly showed it to the third wife, confirming that her body was sharp and neat, and there was no cold and infertility in the palace, so she persuaded the third wife.

Because this infertility may be in the third master, the third wife has not mentioned the matter of children since then.

After so many years, she remembered the events of that year, and she was a little uncertain: "Maybe it's because of the blessings of my children that I have delayed my master for so many years......"

"My dear wife, I don't dare think so. God has eyes, you and the third master are good people, good people have good rewards, this is the blessing of God...... Mrs. Don't think about these unhappy things, carefully the little master is also annoyed in his stomach, but he still wants to be happy, so that the little master will also be happy...... "Mother Guo comforted in a loud voice.

When the third wife heard this, she added another thought: "The whole family is looking forward to it, if you give birth to a brother, it's okay, if you give birth to a sister, how can the master be unhappy?" ”

Guo's mother only persuaded patiently: "Who said that the master is not a rare girl? The old man's love for the jade lady over the years is no less than that of the eldest brother......"

The third lady was distracted by her words, and muttered: "Since Brother Rui and Brother Jue studied with the master in the front yard, Sister Yu is not good......"

In the front yard class, Shen Qin held back her temperament, and after listening to the third master's lecture for a short lesson, she jumped over at once: "Third uncle, how is the third aunt?" Telling books to nephews, will it delay the third uncle to accompany the third aunt? ”

The third old man gave him a blank look: "There are more than a dozen people in the aisle, and if you don't have a steady look, you know that the third uncle of Lu Dao is that I gave up your third aunt, and you should work harder in class." Say, what is it? It makes you sit still like you're following the tail."

Shen Qin said "hehe" twice: "Third uncle, isn't this the eldest uncle who was going to take Brother Rui out of the city yesterday to worship and sweep...... Later, the third aunt was uncomfortable, so the eldest aunt didn't go out and arranged for Brother Rui to go out of the city tomorrow...... Several of our clan brothers thought that the elder who was both Brother Rui's elder and our elder couldn't let Brother Rui go out alone to worship and sweep, so they wanted to take a two-day vacation with the third uncle and accompany Brother Rui to go over. ”

The third master listened with a smile at first, but when he reached the end, his face was a little solemn.

"Yes, the day after tomorrow is March 25th, and Mrs. Sun will be sacrificed. Your aunt won't go back this time? The third old man looked at Shen Ruidao.

Shen Rui said: "Uncle said she couldn't go, she gave incense to her ancestors at home......

Speaking of this, Shen Rui's mental strength became more and more strange.

The eldest couple was ordered by the second room and the third grandfather to take care of Mrs. Sun's tomb, which is barely reasonable; But the family still worships Mrs. Sun's spiritual position? If that's the case, why didn't he mean to ask Shen Rui, his grandson, to go to the spiritual throne to pay respects?

The third old man was accustomed to it, nodded and said, "I should also go to the old man to pay a ...... of incense" Speaking of this, he was a little hesitant: "Do you want to take you out of the city on an unknown day?" ”

When Shen Rui heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, the third aunt is now the time when she needs someone to accompany her, third uncle, you should stay at home with the third aunt......"

The third master was not on a whim, but sincerely grateful to Mrs. Sun.

He vaguely remembers something about his childhood.

Mrs. Sun was more than ten years older than his father, and he was already over the age of sixteen at that time, but he really loved his brothers. For his youngest nephew, he often hugged him to his lap.

and Sun Min who followed behind the eldest lady, and the third master also remembered. After all, when Sun Min left, he was already five or six years old, the age of remembering.

By the time Mrs. Sun died, the third master was already in his teens, and he followed his eldest brother and sister-in-law to wake the spirit of Mrs. Sun. Because of this, he also had a small illness.

At that time, I only knew that the grandfather of the Sun family had saved my life, and I vaguely knew the reason why my second brother and second sister-in-law were kicked out, but I didn't expect that the Sun family's care for the second room of the Shen family would not end with the death of Mrs. Sun, and his little life was also supported by the silver of the Sun family.

In addition to gratitude, the third master was only ashamed.

Mrs. Sun treated them as sons and nephews, but they did not regard Mrs. Sun's only blood and blood as sisters. If it hadn't been for the eldest lady mentioning it, the third master would have forgotten which one Sun Min was.

Thinking of this, the third master's gaze at Shen Rui became softer and softer: "Okay, this time I won't go with you...... When your second uncle comes back, when the official festival comes, I will go to the tomb of Mrs. Sun and kowtow......"

When the words were received here, the third master also forgot about their "first cut and then play", and only instructed: "You boys are not allowed to be naughty when you go out...... If you want to worry about it, don't think about it in the future......

Shen Rui and the others responded honestly.

There was nothing to say all night, and when Shen Rui, Shen Jue and others said goodbye to the eldest lady the next day, and when Zhou's mother led them to the front yard, they couldn't help but be stunned.

In addition to the five carriages, there were Guan Fu, the second housekeeper of the Shen Mansion, and thirteen or four horse-leading male servants in front.

And those who followed the four sons to serve, in addition to Zhou's mother and the other three mothers, there were also four thirteen and four-year-old maids.

Coupled with the four sons of the Shen family and their respective long-term followers and small servants, this group of people is more than 30 people.

Seeing this, Shen Qin and Shen Bao felt that they were too hard to move the crowd, so they couldn't help but hesitate, and they all looked at Shen Rui, waiting for him to take the master

Shen Rui didn't say anything, greeted Guan Fu, and according to Zhou's mother's arrangement, he got into one of the carriages with Shen Jue.

Shen Jue's reaction was wrong: "It's not that this is out of the way to sacrifice and sweep, why did the eldest aunt use incense as a guise two days ago?" ”

Shen Rui shook his head: "Who knows, I wanted to ask yesterday, but seeing that the eldest aunt didn't mean to say, she didn't speak......"

Shen Jue opened the curtains, looked at the cart of sacrifices behind him, and wondered: "I used to use a pretense, but now why don't I need it?" ”

Shen Rui still shook his head: "I can't think of it, why don't Brother Jue help me think about it......"

In fact, although Xu didn't say it, Shen Rui also guessed something from her deeds.

Xu's move must be to hide from someone in Shen's house, and only a few days ago he planned to use incense as a guise to take Shen Rui out of the city.

Shen Mansion is now home to five elders, needless to say, the eldest lord is one with the Xu family; The third master and the third wife have always cared about external affairs, and are only friendly and close to Shen Rui; There's only one left, so there's no need to guess at all.

Does that one have an enmity with the Sun family, or does he have a grudge against the Sun family?

Shen Rui touched his chin and was thinking, Shen Jue was already surprised: "Is it to hide it from the second aunt?"

Obviously, he had this in mind.

"The second aunt is the same age as the eldest aunt Yuan, and the little sister in the boudoir will not turn her face, what grievances did she have in her early years?" Shen Jue gave birth to a heart of gossip.

"What a grudge? Thirty years to remember? Shen Rui frowned.

He didn't like this feeling of secrecy, if the Xu family and the eldest master felt that his presence would cause a strong reaction from the second wife and affect the family and everything, they should not forcibly accept him into Beijing.

Shen Jue shook his head beside him and said: "The great hatred in the world, the hatred of taking his wife and killing his father...... The second aunt looked very squeamish, and the eldest aunt was a good person, so it was a joke to let these two people hold knives...... And the rest of the two women have no wives to take......"

Speaking of this, Shen Jue was stunned for a moment.

The next sentence is disrespectful to say.

It's not impossible, the second master's age is only one year older than Sun's.

Shen Rui was beside him, and he was also dumbfounded.

In the past few months, he has been thinking about what grievances the Sun family and the Shen family may have in addition to kindness, but he has never thought about marriage.

After all, the second room and the third master had already achieved the position of the Great Jiuqing back then, and the Sun family was just a family of businessmen. Even if the relationship with the second room is good, the difference between the two families is too far, and in the eyes of the world, it is not the right door.

But thinking about the third master's actions, he didn't take into account the world's vision, but his own thinking was bound by rules and regulations.

In this way, it seems to make sense that the Sun family married far away and never mentioned the second room.

Xu didn't know that her previous excuse for entering the incense made Shen Rui and Shen Jue guess the past many years ago, and they also guessed that they were not far from ten.

She was instructing someone to hide the things in the front yard from the other end of the second room.

I heard that the second wife went to the third room yesterday and gave ginseng, bird's nest, etc., Xu didn't think it was strange.

Maybe the second wife was proud in her early years, but she has been a wife for many years, and her arrogance is almost restrained.

can take the initiative to come to her to ask for guilt, and go to He's house to compensate Mrs. He, no matter whether the second wife is sincere, or do it for the second master, after all, she is willing to do it.

With the third master and the third wife, although the second wife has never complained to her, she has always been estranged from the third room because of the difference between her and her concubines over the years.

Although the third old lady is recorded in his mother's name, he may be able to hide it from others, but he can't hide it from the third old lady's maiden family, Qiao's family

Now, the second wife is willing to take the initiative to make friends with the third room, and the Xu family is only happy......
