Volume 1 - Who Have Seen Again Chapter 137 Catching the Wind and Washing the Dust (5)
It's Shen Quan here.
Shen Rui got up and beckoned Shen Quan to sit down. Shen Jue's eyes were shining, and he stared at Shen Quandao: "Third Brother Quan also thinks that the second room is inappropriate?" ”
Shen Quan smiled bitterly and said: "You two are the only two who have received a good face, and they are all leaving, and I am naturally even more reluctant to stay when I have a good face." I knew this was the case, and after entering Beijing, it would be time for the eldest aunt to send me directly to my eldest brother's house. What's the point of this kind of unhappy host, uncomfortable guests, and not cheap in two clicks? ”
When Shen Jue heard this, he sneered: "The third brother just said it, and the aunt will not follow." I always have to pick up the wind, wash the dust and the like, and it will be too early to let everyone go out after the year......"
Shen Rui was beside him, and seeing Shen Quan's faint displeasure, he thought for a while and said: "Maybe it was the elders in the second room who saw the third brother and the ninth brother of Zhu Jiu, and thought of the late big brother Luo, so they didn't laugh, it's not that they didn't like the third brother." ”
When Shen Jue heard this, he felt that his mouth was suddenly opened.
The Xu family can treat everyone equally, and the other elders in the second room will not naively divide the nephews and nephews who come from afar.
The distraction and coldness of the elders in Fang Cai Hall may really be because Shen Zhu and Shen Quan are the same age as Shen Luo, which makes them think of the deceased. When the second wife stared at everyone fiercely, didn't she also focus on Shen Quan and Shen Zhu.
Shen Jue has always been soft-hearted, thinking about the current situation of the second room, and sighed: "It is not easy for the elders in the second room. Uncle Cang and aunt are all understanding people, but they are all old; Although the second uncle of Zhou has not seen anyone, he doesn't know how sad he is to lose his son when he is old, and the second aunt is a poor brain; Uncle Run's body looks really thin, and the third aunt looks weak. Although the mansion here is large, and there are many servants and maids, they only feel deserted in all directions. ”
Shen Quan frowned and said, "Then the heir will be decided early...... Brother Jue, Brother Zhu is good......"
When Shen Jue heard this, he was startled, and glared: "The third brother is still mentioning the ninth brother, why do you still mention me?" I have a father and a mother, but I never thought about being an heir? ”
Seeing his fried appearance, Shen Quan was puzzled: "Brother Jue doesn't know?" You are the one who is most likely to pass the second room among everyone, and the patriarch didn't tell you? ”
Shen Jue was already dumbfounded when he heard it, and said in a daze: "The master only said that the second room has the heart to reconcile with the family, and one person from each room must enter Beijing, I represent the sect, and I didn't mention that the heir will have something to do with the sect......"
Shen Quan thought for a while and said, "That's what the master said, most of them know who the candidate for the second room is...... It's not Brother Jue, it's who
As he spoke, Shen Quan fell into deep thought.
Although the identity of Shen Jue's youngest son is suitable, and the Zongfang is also close to the second room, Shen Jue's shortcomings are that he is too deeply involved with the Zong. The patriarch was raised by the grandfather, and the grandparents were deeply affectionate; The eldest master of the sect also treats his young son very much, and the relationship between father and son is also good. There are also two sibling brothers on it, who are both helping and implicating.
The second room needs to be weighed and weighed, and if Shen Jue is succeeded as the heir, will the second room be handed over to the Zongfang and become the puppet of the Zongfang.
Two generations of father and son in the second room, creating such a family business, must not want this.
If it is excluded in this way, then Shen Zhu and Shen Lin have little hope, because no matter what their qualifications are, they all have greedy elders behind them.
Before the seventh and eighth rooms, the reputation of the family style was good, but that was in the case of poverty.
If the seventh and eighth rooms really come out with an heir to inherit the Shilang Mansion, can the remaining relatives still be able to endure the cold and not climb forward? No one can be sure.
In this way, the relationship with Bensheng's parents is the weakest, and the one who will be the least involved in the future, isn't there only one Shen Rui left?
Thinking of this, Shen Quan consciously recalled the clues of Xu's arrival in Songjiang, looked at Shen Rui, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that the heir chosen by the eldest aunt is Brother Rui."
This time, there was one more Shen Rui who was dumbfounded.
"How could the third brother think of me, the fourth room is a single inheritance for several generations, and the heirs are not numerous?" Shen Rui was puzzled.
Since they are step-heirs, they naturally have to choose from among the relatives who have many children; Although there are two brothers in the fourth room now, they can be passed down for several generations, and the people are already thin.
This is not the most critical, the key is that he is the only son of the Sun family.
Even if Shen Jin is now remembered in the name of the Sun family, but from the Xu family, she didn't mention it, so she knew that she didn't think much of the "named son-in-law".
Didn't the ancients inherit the most important incense? After succeeding to his house, Sun was nominally his aunt, and could no longer be worshiped by him in the future
It was because of this that Shen Rui did not think about the matter of his heir. He just thought that after the Xu family brought him into Beijing, he would probably think of a reason to leave him in the capital and take care of it nearby.
From the day of departure, how streamlined other people's maids and servants were, it can be seen that there is no one here here.
For that possibility, Shen Rui did not object in his heart, there were Shen Li and Wang Shouren in the capital, and it was naturally good to stay in the capital to study.
Shen Quandao: "You also have the eldest brother above, and the stepmother is about to enter the door, and the younger brother below says that it will be two years later, why can't you leave the heir's room?" Uncle Cang has an old relationship with Uncle Yuan, so she is naturally willing to take care of you by your side. Speaking of which, Uncle Yuan has been too ridiculous in the past few years, but if Uncle Cang inquires carefully after returning to Songjiang, she will not rest assured that she will continue to leave you in the fourth room......"
Hearing this, Shen Rui was silent.
In the past few years, Shen Juren has set up a foreign house, a beautiful maid, and fornicated with servants, and he has indeed made a lot of jokes. It is not news that he loves the eldest son, and he does not wait to see the original son-in-law.
Perhaps in Xu's eyes, the deceased are gone, and the living are the most important. What could be more justified than using the method of succession to keep him in the capital?
In this way, the third master and the third wife paid special attention to him, and there was an explanation. Those two are most likely the heirs and parents chosen by the Xu family, and there is a reason for the pity and love in the eyes of these two people.
For a moment, Shen Rui's heart was in turmoil.
Although he only met once, his impression of the third master and the third wife was not bad, those two were not shrewd people, and they were happy or unhappy.
Just looking at the attention and urgency of those two when they saw him, they should be satisfied with him.
Thinking that Shen Juren's actions are becoming more and more bottomless, Zhang Laoan's various malice, and Shen Jin's gloom after the Zheng family left, Shen Rui was thrilled about the heir.
However, thinking that the three old men were three, there were four brothers and sisters-in-law on it, and they were three small brothers living together, Shen Rui hesitated again.
With the care of the eldest master and the Xu family for the third master, it is impossible to say that they will do everything for the heirs in the future, and the second master and the second wife occupy the status of brother and sister-in-law, and they can also point fingers at the affairs of the third master.
In this way, becoming the heir of the third old man means that there will be six elders on his head.
From the fact that the Xu family can lead these people into Beijing, it can be seen that the second room should no longer put the responsibility of inheriting the bloodline on one heir, and most of them will choose their heirs separately for each small room.
That also means that after Shen Rui becomes the heir of the third old man, in addition to the six elders, there will be two more cousins, and the people who can "give orders" to him will suddenly become eight; The advantage is that everyone is an heir, whether it is from the perspective of human feelings or world conditions, they must be a little more polite and a little less casual.
The stick blames his own son, and he is strict with Lao Tzu's discipline; If you blame your heirs, you should be careful not to cause criticism.
Seeing Shen Rui's calm face, Shen Quan only thought that he had lost his words, which made him unhappy. Even if the two have a close relationship, but this is disrespectful to say Lao Tzu in front of his son, and he hurriedly said: "It's the third brother who is talking fast, Brother Rui don't have the same knowledge as the third brother." ”
Shen Rui shook his head and said, "The third brother misunderstood, I didn't get angry with the third brother." It was the third brother's words that woke me up, there is indeed this possibility, and I feel a little confused in my heart. ”
Shen Jue looked at Shen Rui with bright eyes and said: "No wonder the master treated Brother Rui differently on the day he left, and now he found the reason" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, okay, Brother Rui, you will be the heir of the Shilang Mansion, let Uncle Yuan regret going, and make your eldest brother red." It is great that he robbed the name of the eldest son of the fourth room, and the heir of the second room is more ......expensive than the gold."
Seeing that his voice was getting older and higher, Shen Quan hurriedly stepped forward to cover his mouth and whispered, "Little Ancestor, be quiet." In the end, it's just our guess, if it is publicized, it seems that Brother Rui clings to them. ”
Shen Jue hurriedly covered his mouth, "hehe" laughed twice: "Brother Zhu Jiu wants the bamboo basket to fetch water, and it is empty......"
Thinking of the second wife's voice after seeing everyone, she was obviously extremely resistant to the matter of choosing an heir in the second room, if she was pushed out to be the heir at this time, I don't know what she would make a fuss. Shen Rui frowned and thought about it, feeling that the matter of choosing an heir was estimated to be delayed.
Shen Jue saw Shen Rui's frowning appearance, but when he rejected the matter of succession, he hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Rui, don't you want to be foolish and filial piety to the eldest aunt in the world, with her protecting you, this matter of heirs is naturally not interesting; Now that your aunt is gone, you are alone, and I don't know how much you will be wronged in the future. Uncle Yuan doesn't love you in the first place, and as soon as the step-aunt enters the door, you will become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. How rare are the various human tragedies that happened because of the unkindness of the stepmother? ”
Shen Quan is old and thinks a lot.
Shen Jue only thought that Shen Rui would be able to avoid the unkindness of the elders in the fourth room, but he didn't think about how to deal with the elders in the second room after he really wanted to pass the steps.
In the fourth room, Shen Rui is a legitimate son-in-law, even if he has a brother, his status is the highest among the brothers; has become an heir, and the place where you need to swallow your anger is not necessarily less than in the fourth room.
Shen Quan thought for a while and said, "The most important thing is to find out how deep the friendship between Aunt Yuan and Uncle Yuan is. If it is really like what the eldest aunt said, if the love is like a sister, what is the reason for the two to break off contact...... If it was just a misunderstanding or something like that, it would be okay if the two lost contacts, and he was an elder to rely on. has become an heir, and if there is an uncle to take care of him in the future, he will not be angry. If it really involves grievances and grievances, it will be good for Brother Rui to feel guilty for a while, but it is difficult to ensure that there is no mustard in his heart. After the guilt is over, how can it be better not to see Brother Rui again? ”
Shen Jue was surprised: "No...... Look, Aunt Cang is not such a stingy person......"
Shen Quan remembered the enthusiasm of the third master and the third wife for Shen Rui, touched his chin and said, "It's not the eldest uncle, who knows about the others...... The eldest aunt did not mention the heir in Songjiang, and it can be said that it was prevented by Uncle Yuan; When I arrived in the capital, I still hid Brother Rui from everyone, there must be some reason......"
Outside the door of the study, Hao's mother held the tea tray in her hand and tiptoed back.
It's not that she deliberately eavesdropped, but she just saw that Dongxi and Liu Ya were busy, embarrassed to be idle, and went to Shen Rui to be courteous, but she didn't expect to hear such amazing words.
The old mother was a little dumbfounded, before Zhang Lao'an told her to "add fuel to the fire" to promote Shen Rui as the heir, she only thought that Zhang Lao'an was old and confused, but she didn't expect such a thing......
