The sect's feast will be held until dusk.

Shen Juren was already drunk, his eyelids were heavy, and he walked a little unsteadily, and was helped into the carriage by Shen Jin.

People are in good spirits when they are happy, is this considered a "double happiness"?

When the carriage left the sect room, Shen Juren slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Shen Jin and said, "How sure are you in the current township test?" ”

When Shen Jin heard this, he was silent for a while and said, "If you talk about the four books, my son only feels that he has eaten it thoroughly...... But the exam room is unpredictable, and my son doesn't know what the specific result will be......"

Shen Juren also tried it in the township, but he didn't know how fierce the competition was. Especially in Jiangnan, the literary style has always been prosperous, and there are many people who read, and it is even more difficult to start a career.

"The love is everywhere, Brother Rui is still young now, and your brothers didn't get along much before. When you arrive in Beijing in the future, your brothers will also get along well. With that, Shen Juren closed his eyes again.

If Shen Jin can't enter Beijing for ten or eight years, he will have to think of another idea.

Shen Jin was entangled in his heart, and wanted to ask why he agreed to succeed Shen Rui, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed again.

Shen Rui doesn't go out and stays at home, what benefits can he bring to the fourth room? Perhaps in the eyes of the elders, Shen Rui's succession made it a lucky thing for the fourth room to take advantage of the second room in the clan.

Could it be that apart from him, no one thinks of Sun?

The Sun family has been married into the fourth room for 30 years and has been a "virtuous woman" for so many years, but now she can't even enjoy the sacrifice of her own son......

Shen Jin was wrong, Zhang Laoanren's brows were furrowed at the moment, and he was thinking about the Sun family in his heart.

How could the eldest man and eldest lady in the second room pick Shen Rui? It is impossible for them not to know the details of the Sun family, that is, they have guessed the origin of the Sun family wrong

Zhang Lao'an only felt that his scalp was numb, and he sincerely remembered his grandson who was far away in the capital. She herself is the eldest daughter of her mother's family, and she married into the fourth room of the Shen family as her wife, so she attaches more importance to her children and grandchildren.

Before, he just had a misunderstanding of the Sun family, thinking that Shen Rui was the bane, so he was disgusted and couldn't get close; Now that he knows that there may be a misunderstanding, Zhang Lao'an has no regret in his heart.

Hearing that Shen Juren's father and son were back, Zhang Lao'an immediately sent someone to invite Shen Juren.

Shen Juren saw the wind after drinking, and only felt a headache.

As soon as Zhang Lao'an met, he asked with a face: "Can the second master of the second room mention the matter of entering the heir?" Brother Jue is still the youngest son of the sect, and he will succeed if he succeeds; Brother Rui is different, he is the head of the fourth room, how can he succeed others? In that case, isn't the fourth room cut off the incense? ”

Shen Juren saw that the old lady didn't even prepare a bowl of sobering soup, so she nagged non-stop when she came up, very impatient, rubbed her temples and said, "Why did my mother's mind change for a while?" When Brother Rui didn't enter Beijing a year ago, didn't my mother still look forward to Brother Rui going to the second room to be the heir? A few days ago, you also said that today's wish has come true, why did you change your mind again? ”

Zhang Lao'an was speechless, and said with a straight face for a while: "Aren't you afraid that others will poke your backbone before, but now you are willing to do it again?" ”

Shen Juren nodded and said, "This is a good thing that no one else can look forward to, why don't you want to?" The fourth room is just this little bit of family background, He Wuniang will enter the door tomorrow, and in the future, Brother Rui can divide the family property with the brothers, and he can also get the second room property, which is a good thing."

Zhang Laoanren frowned and said: "It's true that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, just for the sake of the child of the stepwife who has not yet shadowed, you are really ruthless, do you not miss the love of flesh and blood at all?" ”

Shen Juren was annoyed by what he said, and said angrily: "I don't miss the love of flesh and blood? What do I have to say about what I can't do with Rego? Lao An was embarrassed to say that I was the one who arranged Brother Rui in a remote courtyard back then, and no one was allowed to give Brother Rui food? Lao An wants to be a loving grandmother now, is it too late? ”

Zhang Laoan was so angry that he trembled, glaring at Shen Judao: "Are you blaming me?" Who spoiled the concubine and killed his wife and broke the rules of the family? Now even the Zheng family is not rare to you, and you would rather return to the Shen family than continue to be in the Shen family, which is why the bamboo basket is empty."

If you want to say that Shen Juren hated the most this year, it was Zheng's departure.

The concubine who originally relied on his snort actually broke out of the door with a loud bang, what is the matter?

Although no one laughed at Shen Juren in public about this matter, Shen Juren felt that the top of his head was about to change color when he thought that the charm of the Zheng family still existed.

The Zheng family didn't even care about Shen Jin's own flesh and blood, and was bent on leaving the Shen family, was it just to go back to his mother's house to see the faces of his younger siblings and nephews? Maybe you have your own plans.

Shen Ju has in his heart, and he looks at others like, and even has suspicion of Shen Jin.

"It's not the good grandson taught by Lao An to let the Zheng family leave, in the final analysis, it's just to complain that I didn't correct the Zheng family...... The evil seed is the evil seed, the desire is difficult to fill, how can the concubine be humble and humble......" Shen Juren snorted coldly.

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Lao'an had already drunk: "Shut up, it's really too much yellow soup, you can talk about everything...... Spread to Brother Jin's ears, do you still want this father-son relationship? ”

Shen Juren sneered: "What Lao Anren said, but I don't understand, I am his son, how can I not scold him?" Is it because he is a young man with a bright future, and I still have to hold on to him as an old man? If he is the real eldest son, I won't say anything, but he is a little woman, and I am still alive and well, and it is not his turn to support the portal."

Zhang Laoan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he saw that Shen Juren was full of wine, and the more he spoke, the more crooked he became.

Outside the door, Shen Jin held a bowl of decanting soup and turned to leave with an expression on his face......

Beijing, Shen House, three rooms.

The third old man held a drawing of the house and spread it out in front of the third lady with a smile.

The third lady leaned over and saw that the paper was new, and the house painted on it was similar to the one that the third master had brought back, but there were a few differences, and a small condensed map of the house, the moon gate, and the shadow wall were drawn on it

"This is a new drawing drawn by the old man?" The third lady asked.

The third master shook his head with a smile and said, "I didn't paint it, it was painted by Brother Bao...... The front of the east house into the yard have begun to work, only the back garden here, I went to ask my sister-in-law, sister-in-law said that the family is busy, I can't take care of this, let us discuss the ......"

When the third lady heard this, she said, "But there is news from the ministry?" ”

Although this year is the year of "Jingcha", in fact, the various evaluations and achievements of Beijing officials are recorded every year, and they only need to be checked once in the booklet.

Not all the officials who were promoted and those who were dismissed were appointed and dismissed together after the completion of the "Jingcha."

Since February, there have been ups and downs here in Jingguan, with the beginning of the "Jingcha".

Whether it is in terms of seniority or political achievements, the eldest master has reached the age limit, and he should be promoted this year. However, the premise is that someone has to vacate the vacancy, otherwise there is no shortage in Beijing, and it will be released if it is unavoidable.

The eldest master has passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and everyone in the second room does not want him to go out of the place.

Besides, the highest grade of the local civil officials is only from the second grade, but the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the imperial history of the left and right are the second grade.

The third old man said: "Today, my sister-in-law mentioned that the Criminal Department seems to have found something inappropriate a few days ago, and it seems that there must be a palm print Shangshu and two waiters." ”

Even if the third wife is a family member, she can marry into the second room for many years, and she also knows some things in officialdom.

Like the Criminal Department, it is not uncommon for the chief officer to be killed in a nest in the year of "Jingcha".

In addition to the country's important weapons of the Ministry of Officials and Households, other officials, soldiers, criminals, and workers of the four yamen, every year of "Jingcha", the chief official fell from power, there is a precedent. If they don't move, how will the people behind them move?

If the front moves, the back can keep up with the previous one, and from top to bottom it is related to the future of many people.

As for the position of the official department and the household department, naturally some people are worried about the four books in the back, if they don't want to be taken down, they can only grit their teeth and rush to the front.

It's just that under normal circumstances, the two important positions of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household are mostly held by cabinet ministers, and ordinary people can't shake them.

The third wife breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good to have news, it's just that the criminal department is too far away from home, and the eldest brother will have to go around half of the capital when he goes to the yamen in the future......"

The yamen of the criminal department is not in Zhengyangmen like other departments, but in the same Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate in Xicheng.

Among the officials of the six ministries, even if they are of the same rank, they can be divided into orders at the court meeting. For example, the eldest master, the left waiter of the household department, among the twelve waiters in the six departments, the ranking is only after the two waiters in the official department.

If the eldest master really joins the Criminal Department, he will rank fifth among the six books, only higher than the Ministry of Works. However, the promotion of the third product to the second grade is a big hurdle in the officialdom, as long as it can be promoted, even if it is promoted to the second grade, it can also benefit the descendants of the family......

Nine such as Curie, study.

Shen Jue looked at Shen Rui and was eager to try.

Shen Rui glanced at him and said, "Unless you promise to go out with a hat and cover your face tightly, it's useless to beg me." ”

Shen Jue said with a bitter face: "I'm not a big girl, I go out with a hat, and I make people die of laughter."

His face was scabbed, and it had fallen at the end of the first month, with patches of light pink marks underneath.

Xu invited the imperial doctor, and found the beauty prescription that flowed out of the palace, made pearl ointment, and made people stare at Shen Jue every day to remove his scars.

Because the weather is getting warmer and the sun is getting more and more poisonous, Xu said again that Shen Jue was not allowed to go out.

After such a month and a half of maintenance, the scar on Shen Jue's face has faded a lot, but he can't hold it back.

Shen Rui said: "Being laughed at a few times is better than being laughed at for a lifetime, but the aunt doesn't stop you, do you dare to come nonsense?" If you really want to get a scar, it's not a joke. ”

Shen Jue picked up a hand mirror, frowned and took a look: "Isn't this all good......

Shen Rui said: "There is another way, that is, you don't have to continue to pick up this face, let these marks remain, and when you go out to meet people in the future, remember to apply powder......

Shen Jue was stunned when he heard this, and then reacted, crying and laughing: "Really, I want to come out of the powder tomorrow or take me out with me, I will bring a hat to ......"

The third master is here, give them a day off every ten years, and tomorrow is the day of the ten days off.

The Xu family will take Shen Rui to the temple outside the city to worship the Buddha, which is a rhetoric to the outside world. In fact, the Xu family is going to take Shen Rui to Mrs. Sun's cemetery tomorrow.

Mrs. Sun's birth sacrifice is just in these days......
