Shen Rui couldn't take his eyes off when he first saw Wang Shouren, and Shen Quan's appearance was no better than him. Shen Rui had no choice but to cough and say, "Sir, this is Shen Quan, the disciple's brother, who came to visit the disciple today on the order of the elders. ”

Wang Shouren was used to being looked at, but there was no displeasure on his face, and he only looked at Shen Quan as usual.

Shen Quan's eyes were straight, still like a wooden man.

Shen Rui saw that Shen Quan was still stunned, pulled his sleeve and said, "Third brother, this is Mr. Wang, I haven't seen it yet." ”

Shen Quan came to his senses at this time, hurriedly averted his eyes, blushed, and whispered, "Boy Shen Quan has seen Mr. Wang." ”

Shen Rui was beside him, and couldn't help rolling his eyes, why is this Shen Quan so "shy"? It was Mr. "Beautiful" that made Shen Quan so fascinated. In any case, Shen Quan's "concentration" is too poor.

Wang Shouren looked at Shen Rui's disapproving appearance and glanced at him, this kid must have forgotten his embarrassment a few days ago. He bowed slightly to Shen Quan and said, "Since you are here, your brothers will talk to each other, make an appointment with the Zen master to talk, and accompany less." After that, he instructed Wuxuan to prepare tea for them, and took Wuxuan away leisurely.

It wasn't until he looked at Wang Shouren's back in the distance and couldn't see it anymore that Shen Quanfang turned his head, took a long breath, and said: "I read the book before that Song Yu Pan'an's appearance was a compliment from the ancients, and when I saw Mr. Wang, I knew what a beautiful man was." ”

Shen Rui only felt speechless, and said: "The third brother can't be more reserved, just like a womanizer who has never seen the world, and even saliva comes out." ”

When Shen Quan heard this, he was busy wiping a handful of saliva at the corner of his mouth, and where was there any saliva, only then did he know that he was being teased by Shen Rui, and glared at him: "Okay, you Rui Xiaoer, you haven't seen Fang for a few days, and you will start to be solid." ”

There are only three small bamboo houses, except for the study is the bedroom, Wang Shouren took Wuxuan down, but it was just a place for the two brothers to talk. Shen Quan looked inside and out, obviously thought of this, and said: "It is said that beauties are squeamish, but I didn't expect them to be gentle and considerate." ”

Although he knew that Wang Shouren's handsome appearance was different from ordinary people, but when he heard Shen Quan call Wang Shouren a "beauty", Shen Rui was still uncomfortable in his heart, and said with a straight face: "Mr. Wang has outstanding knowledge and noble character, and the third brother needs to be cautious." ”

Shen Quan saw that he was serious, and muttered: "I don't mean to blaspheme, it's just that Mr. Wang's posture is world-sour, and he really deserves to be called a beauty." ”

Seeing that he was still hard-mouthed, Shen Rui was a little annoyed. No matter what, he already regards Wang Shouren as a teacher, even if Shen Quan is just a young man and has no lustful intentions, he can call Wang Shouren a 'beauty' and lose respect in the end. He said coldly: "I see that although the third brother does not have the appearance of a fallen city, he is also elegant and lovely, and he deserves to be called a little beauty, so can he be called the third brother a little beauty in the future?" ”

Hearing the words "little beauty", Shen Quan's face twitched, seeing that Shen Rui's face was ugly, he woke up, and hurriedly said: "It's my brother's fault, second brother Rui forgive me for this." ”

He is the son of the Guo family, and he took good care of himself a few days ago, Shen Rui didn't want to break the relationship with him, so he said: "Mr. Wang has a champion talent, and the sixth brother has praised it, and the third brother will see you later, so you should be more respectful." ”

Shen Quan sneered: "The third brother has only been frivolous in his life, and he has lost respect, and he will not be in the future." I thought that he was not only a master of the apricot forest, but also a white-bearded old man who lived in seclusion in the Zen courtyard in the clouds, but he didn't expect it to be such an extraordinary person, and he was a weak crown age, so he muttered a few words. ”

Shen Rui didn't want to continue Wang Shouren's topic, after all, he himself was not much better than Shen Quan's appearance a few days ago, so he turned away and said, "The news from my family is ...... I don't know if the third brother knows ......"

When Shen Quan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "You don't know, there has been a lot of excitement these days. The Zhang family's property has been divided between the third room and the ninth room, and the men, women and children have not been given a single copper except for the clothes on their bodies. Three generations of the Zhang family, more than a dozen people, all went to your house. I heard that I had a good quarrel with Lao Anren, and Lao Anren was already so angry that he fell ill. ”

Shen Rui was not surprised by the Zhang family's result. Looking at the behavior of the third room and the ninth room that day, they are not people who are willing to suffer, the sooner they clean up the Zhang family, the sooner they recover the silver, it is strange that they are willing to delay. It's just that I didn't expect the Zhang family to be so vulnerable, thinking of this, Shen Rui's heart sank, and said, "The Zhang family is so honest? ”

Shen Quan sneered: "What if you are not honest? I heard that when I sent my aunt back that day, the people in the third and ninth rooms seemed to take the first step, but in fact, they turned around and went back. I didn't know how to coerce, so I asked Uncle Zhang to write an IOU, and also asked him to write a statement. According to the statement, the third and ninth rooms borrowed silver to call the Zhang family for the sake of the Zhang family's in-laws, and the son-in-law of the Zhang family saw the silver and ran away with his wife in private. Now the cases have been handed to the county government, and the arrest warrant of the son-in-law of the Zhang family has also been issued, and now the Zhang family is a bitter master. ”

Shen Rui listened and became more and more vigilant.

Could it be that Uncle Zhang is a fool and will honestly write down IOUs? I don't know how many unspeakable things are in this. Although the Zhang family is not a famous family, it can be regarded as a rich squire, even if the crime is deserved, but it is too easy to lose. In the final analysis, it is the power of power that is enough to destroy a family.

Shen Rui is young now, and he doesn't need to face the power struggle. When he gets older, he will naturally have to face this. If you want to live freely, you can't get it without desire and affection, only with power in your hands, you won't be afraid of power and coercion; Only by standing on a high place can there be more choice.

Even a person like Wang Shouren, who is dedicated to being a saint, has to bend down to cater to the world and take the imperial examination. If you want to live comfortably in the Ming Dynasty, you need to work harder.

Where did Shen Quan think of this kung fu Shen Rui would think of so much, and he was still babbling about the Zhang family's jokes.

"Not only is the Zhang family's house gone, but their reputation is also completely ruined, and the two granddaughters who have not been out of the cabinet have been withdrawn, and it will be difficult to turn over in the future." Shen Quan sighed.

When Shen Rui heard this, he didn't feel any sympathy, but on the contrary, he gloated a little. If the Zhang family still has a way out, most of them don't dare to be an eyesore in front of Shen Juren; Now that there is nothing, it is difficult to eat without hugging the thighs of the four rooms of the Shen family, and they will rely on the four rooms of the Shen family. The old and young were all raised by taking advantage of the Shen family, and even if they had hands and feet, they couldn't bear the hardships of self-reliance. This headache should be Zhang Lao'an, isn't it towards her mother's family, I don't know how she will "shelter" next.

Just thinking that he would follow Wang Shouren to leave Songjiang in the spring of next year, and the sky was high and the birds could fly, Shen Rui had a little less gossip heart, and said to Shen Quan: "The old shopkeeper of the silk and satin workshop and grocery store has already been driven away, and he has been tossed by the Zhang family for a few months. The third brother helped me pass the word to my aunt, and I will accept these two places if I can make a living, and it will be more worry-free to rent out the shop to collect rent in the future. ”

Shen Quan looked at Shen Rui in surprise and said, "You are so young, you can actually think of this?" ”

Shen Rui said: "I'm also an afterthought, I'm afraid it's embarrassing for my aunt these days." ”

Shen Quan hesitated, but still said: "My mother originally instructed me not to tell you, the grocery store is still fine, but the account is a little messy, even if the deed is later returned to the second uncle of the sect, the second uncle has not let the account room pass; In the silk and satin workshop, the previous deficit was large, and the third room had already sent off the account room in the first two months. Two days ago, although they had returned the deed, they had also emptied the storehouse and the silk in the shop. My mother was planning to take stock and go to the clan to find the patriarch's master. ”

Shen Rui shook his head and said, "It's already thanks to the patriarch's mastery before, so it's not good to trouble his old man again." ”

This time, even if there is something unkind about those rooms, the root cause is still the Shen family's four rooms. Even the clan has lost money and reputation, does the patriarch really not mind in his heart?

Now that the previous matter has come to an end, it is not appropriate to make waves again.

After all, Sanfang has returned the deed as promised, and it is reasonable to be aggressive to care about those satins.

Shen Rui thought for a while and said, "There are losses in each room in this matter, so it's not good to care too much, I will write a letter to my aunt and ask the third brother to hand it over." ”

Shen Quan said "hehe" twice: "My father and I also said the same, but my grandfather and my mother said that you can't indulge in evil, and you can't make Rui Ge'er suffer, you have to be more serious." ”

Shen Rui walked to the back of the bookcase, took a pen and paper, hesitated for a moment, held a pen in his left hand, and wrote a letter to Guo.

Shen Quan watched from the side, and saw that although his pen was blunt, the feasible book was also neat, with "Zun Qian" at the beginning, and the signature was "Foolish Nephew Rui Knocking", he couldn't help nodding, but he was a little surprised that he was left-handed, so he persuaded: "Second Brother Rui should also start learning to write in his right hand in the future." ”

Shen Rui nodded in response, dried the letter, folded it and handed it to Shen Quan.

When the two brothers finished speaking, they remembered that the carriage with the gifts was still behind. Shen Rui did not take all those things to the bamboo courtyard according to Guo's explanation, but took Shen Quan with him, went to find a Zhike, and donated those rice and sesame oil in the name of the Shen family's five rooms. Although there are no sesame oil lotus lamps here, there are amulets and Buddhist beads that have been opened by well-known Zen masters, but it is difficult to find a thousand gold.

For the sake of these almsgivings, Zhike presented a talisman and a sandalwood bracelet.

As for the gift to Wang Shouren, Shen Rui also asked him to wait for Wang Shouren to talk about it and let Shen Quan personally present it. Shen Quan was puzzled, but when he saw Shen Rui's little face tense, he obeyed his arrangement. Wang Shouren was thoughtful and glanced at Shen Rui several times.

When Shen Quan went down the mountain, Wuxuan went to the kitchen to get extra food. The Zen courtyard eats clear soup and little water, and among the things sent by Shen Quan, there are two jars of vegetarian assortment, which can be used when it is hot.

Wang Shouren looked at Shen Rui and said, "What are you doing to make your brother respectful to me?" ”

Shen Rui said: "Shouldn't you be respectful to Mr.?" Being able to meet my husband is also a blessing for my brothers of the three clans. ”

When Wang Shouren heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and said with a smile: "That's right." ”

He looked at Shen Rui, only feeling hot in his heart, thinking that this kid revered him so much, could it be his "Yan Hui"?
