Chapter 448: The Way of the Villain (4)
Although He Dongsheng was overwhelmed by the threat of the third master of the Shen family, he was in the officialdom, and the Chinese New Year was the time to socialize, and since Shen Run didn't see him, he could only put down his irritability and go to the banquet to eat, drink, and go to the banquet. As for He Pingsheng here, even if he hates it to the core, he can only take care of it. When it really comes to tearing up his face with the Shen family, he can't say that he has to persuade He Pingsheng to talk back.
Therefore, He Dongsheng turned a blind eye to He Wu's change of doctor and medicine in the guest room. Now, he is the one who is most looking forward to He Pingsheng getting better.
As for whether the new doctor will find clues in He Pingsheng, He Dongsheng is not afraid.
He Pingsheng's "unaccustomed to water and soil" is true, and "suffering from the wind and cold" is also true, but it has been procrastinating for a long time, plus the medicinal materials have been deleted, deleted, and reduced, plus the lack of food and use, the minor illness that should have been cured in a few days has been delayed for more than half a month, and half of He Pingsheng's life has been lost. If it weren't for the extraneous branches, when the Shangyuan Festival came out, He Pingsheng would have "died of illness".
He Dongsheng is delicate and thoughtful, and he loves to think about everything, but this time he doesn't have to think about it, and he knows that the temper of the third master of the Shen family is really unreasonable, and he can't let go if he doesn't leave He Dongsheng to prepare for it.
Seeing that it was about to reach fifteen, the post of the third master of the Shen family had not arrived, He Dongsheng became more and more anxious, and he didn't have the heart to go out to eat and drink.
I didn't want to, so I saw He Wu coming: "Big brother, Shen Jin is here again, talking to Seventeen in the guest room." β
These days, although He Wu asked for medical treatment, he no longer confronted He Dongsheng, and he was relatively silent with He Pingsheng.
When He Dongsheng heard this, he couldn't help but blackface. Although he hadn't met Shen Jin in the past ten days, he knew that he had come two or three times. Every time, I brought tonic gifts, never empty-handed, and the gifts were thorough.
"Huangkou child, also want a piece of the pie? You bring him to me in a moment! He Dongsheng said.
He Wu answered honestly and went to the guest house.
In the guest house, Shen Jin looked at the stack of books at He Pingsheng's bedside, and couldn't help but worry on his face. He Pingsheng's state is obviously injured and needs to be recuperated for a year and a half, but he is still reading the book for the exam, and he is obviously unwilling to give up the February exam.
Shen Jin himself is a person who is taking the exam, and of course he knows the expectations of the scholars who have studied hard for ten years. If it is to become him, I am afraid that he will not want to give up.
He Pingsheng also saw a stack of books, and a sneer appeared on his face: "In the past, I laughed at others as weak nerds who were powerless, but today is really karma...... If you can't do it, you have to earn your life once. β
Shen Jin sighed and said, "How long will ......it be in the end?"
He Pingsheng sneered: "My life as an ant is still in the minds of others, there is no Ming Dynasty today, where can I talk about the future?" β
He Wu stood at the door, looking down at the ground, only to feel that his steps weighed more than a thousand catties.
He could no longer deceive himself, and He Pingsheng's resentment was no longer disdainful to hide.

Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread.
He Pingsheng was still very weak, and Shen Jin sat down with him and got up to say goodbye. He visited diligently like this, not to show any deep affection for his uncle and nephew, nor to show merit in front of He Pingsheng, but he was afraid of He Dongsheng and did not want him to put his resentment on Master Shen Cang, who came forward for this matter. After all, he caused this trouble, and he brought it to Shen Rui in a daze, so he couldn't really ignore it himself.
knew that smart people should stay away at this time, but Shen Jin still came hard, just to "share grievances".
When he came out and was taken to the front hall by He Wu, when he saw He Dongsheng, Shen Jin knew that he had succeeded. He Dong's face was warm, but Shen Jin still found coldness in his eyes.
"I've seen Master He." Shen Jin looked away and moved.
"Xie Yuanlang is too outside, you are the nephew of the seventeenth brother, and you should also call me uncle." He Dongsheng's expression became more and more warm, and seeing that Shen Jin didn't answer, he continued: "Even if you don't call you uncle, you can call it 'uncle'." Speaking of which, I and Ling Zun are the same year as the township test, and this 'Uncle Shi' is also justified. β
Shen Jin followed the advice: "Uncle Shi." β
He Dongsheng played "Ha Lu Ha" and had to knock on the side, but Shen Jin knew the severity and refused to speak easily, only made a shy and silent manner, and there should be two voices in ten sentences, which was also incorrect.
He Dongsheng is a third-grade member in the end, and it is not easy to woo Shen Jin so condescendingly, so the oil and salt are not entered, which naturally makes him cold and asks someone to order soup to send off guests.
"This Shen family doesn't have a good thing!" He Dongsheng was indignant in his heart, but he had to admit that the younger generation of the Shen family was much better than the He family. There was a champion Shen Li before, and now there is a Xie Yuan, the children of the He family are young, and even if there are a few middle jinshi in the side branch, they are also the top three jinshi.
Standing outside the gate of the He family, Shen Jin thought about He Dongsheng's appearance of enduring his anger, and he did not feel afraid, but felt steady. is so inward-looking, it seems that he has a lot of scruples, even if the third master of Shangshu Mansion comes forward, he shouldn't dare to think of murdering his life again, right?
With less than a month left before the test, Shen Jin began to close his door, and finally stopped visiting He's house once in two or three days.
Just one day before the Shangyuan Festival, Shen Run's post was finally belated.
He Dongsheng snorted coldly, but on the appointed day, he still went to the Shen Mansion for a banquet as promised. In the first month, he went in and out of the mourning home twice, and He Dongsheng could have a premonition that his life would not be smooth in the coming year.
The third master's side had already discussed with Shen Rui and thought about the conditions of the negotiation, which not only made He Dongsheng feel painful, but also could not force him to jump off the wall in a hurry.
Therefore, when he saw He Dongsheng, the third master had already made up his mind, so he didn't let He Dongsheng go around in circles, and only said: "You and I are in-laws, and my brother and Lord He were also colleagues before his death, and the two families should be close, so Lord He still has to come and go often in the future." β
He Dongsheng was so blocked in his heart when he heard it, what does it mean to "come and go often"? The Shen family's side is now just a seven-grade middle school scholar in charge, why should he, a third-grade waiter, "come and go often"? In the eyes of others, it seems that he is stammering with the Shen family that has fallen.
He chuckled and said, "I'm busy with official business, so I really don't have time to doppelgΓ€nger."
These words hit the third master's heart, and the third master groped for the teacup: "It's a pity, I can't talk to He Dongsheng in the future......"
He Dongsheng felt his eyelids jump, and said: "You and I are originally villagers, and we have been married for generations, so we should help each other." If you encounter difficulties, even if Brother Shen Xian asks, I will naturally help if I can. It's just that I'm just an ordinary person in the end, and how powerful I am, I ask Brother Shen Xian to forgive me. β
Hearing these soft and hard words, the third master was secretly amused in his heart, and he only said casually: "I really want to trouble Lord He." β
Master He said secretly: "It's here." β
He Dongsheng served tea and listened to the third master: "It's not just one thing, it's five things......
"Bump!" He Dongsheng put down the teacup heavily, and said with a cold face: "I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have three heads and six arms, I'm afraid I won't be able to help Master Shen San!" You can't be too greedy, otherwise you won't get anything! β
The third old man raised his eyebrows: "Five things are too many?" How good is this, I thought that there were two old lovers, and I would be able to get more mention from Lord He in the future. So what's the good of that? β
The words of the third master have room for maneuver, and He Dongsheng's face is also slightly softened, although the sick man in front of him is a minor official of the seventh grade, he has a few in-laws behind him, if it weren't for these, he wouldn't dare to negotiate terms with himself so loudly.
"If you talk about it, the two families are also in-laws, so naturally they should be both prosperous and humiliated...... If the virtuous brother really encounters something difficult, I will definitely help if I can. He Dongsheng said.
The third master seemed to be impatient, and said: "I said five, you said one, should we continue to argue?" Hurry up, and you'll be in the middle. After three things, the well water of the two of you does not interfere with the river water. β
He Dongsheng still wanted to say more, but the third master had already frowned and said, "If it doesn't work, forget it, I won't stay here to stay with Lord He." β
He Dongsheng could only hold back his anger and said, "What's the matter?" β
The third old man said: "The first thing, back then, Brother Ling used dishonorable means to encroach on the two weaving factories under Sister Sun's name, and these two weaving factories should be returned." β
He Dongsheng was unhappy on his face, but he was relieved in his heart.
Speaking of which, the root of the disagreement between the second room of the Shen family and the He family is in the two weaving factories back then, and it would be a good thing if they could use that to solve the current dilemma.
However, he was puzzled on his face: "Back then, my brother spent 50,000 taels of silver to buy the red deed, how can he say that he has embezzled it?" β
The third old man snorted coldly: "I won't let you talk about it, whether it's a weaving mill or silver, anyway, we can't let Brother Rui suffer, that's the first thing."
He Dongsheng was embarrassed for a few more words, and then nodded as if he had made up his mind, and promised to come out with 50,000 taels of silver.
The remaining two things, but the third master said that he would postpone them, and he would need He Dongsheng's help in the future.
He Dongsheng was naturally unhappy, but the third master was a banker, and he could only be led.
When he came out of the Shen family, He Dongsheng only felt that his heart and liver hurt.
Fifty thousand taels of silver, and two promises, were the result of the negotiations.
If the two promises are easy to do, it's okay, it's done early, and the three masters want to come out of it.
Although it is not a matter of spending money to solve it, He Dongsheng still hopes to spend less silver. Throwing out 50,000 taels for nothing, no one wants to.
Although the He family has a lot of property in Beijing, the cash is really not as much as 50,000 taels, so they have to borrow it from elsewhere first, and then urge Songjiang to send the silver......
*
In the living room, the Shen family's uncle and nephew were there, but the third master didn't have much smile on his face.
Although the villain's methods can hold the villain, it is enough to learn from it.
The third old man said: "Now that you have entered the officialdom, you must not only be cautious in your words and deeds, but also be good to your relatives and family, otherwise you will have a troubled ......"
Shen Rui nodded and said, "What my mother taught before should also remember, when it is time to make a decision, you should be sharper, and those who grind will lose the opportunity." β
The third master said: "In the final analysis, you should be upright, otherwise you will make a wrong step and a wrong step, and there will be no turning back......"
