Volume 1 - Who Have Seen Again Chapter 172 Hearing the Wind and Moving (2)
The movement that Jian Changbo made outside Renshoufang that day spread in Beijing.
Others don't think it's new to this matter, if Jian Changbo doesn't make some noise every month, he won't be Jian Changbo. Because of this year's "Jingcha", several people who have the intention of moving their positions are very attentive to the follow-up of this matter.
Shen Cang has been in the position of the left waiter of the household department for several years, and he has made remarkable achievements, and this year a Shangshu will definitely not be able to run. If he can use this to confront Jian Changbo, then it is impossible to say that there will be one vacant in the Shang Shu position.
However, Shen Cang can bend and stretch, and Jian Changbo has turned big things into small things and small things, which can obviously lead to the two families to fight evil, but there is no movement in the end, and he is shocked.
Some ridiculed Shen Cang's lack of style, and some admired him for his knowledge of current affairs, with mixed reviews.
Only He Dongsheng, an official from Songjiang, always paid attention to Shen Shilang's mansion because he was in Songjiang with the Shen family
He Dongsheng is the eldest master of the He family, for the third grade of Guanglu Temple, and the Shen family is an in-law, last year, he was close to each other, and he married with the Shen family's four rooms.
The "Nine Qings" of the Ming Dynasty are divided into "Big Nine Qings" and "Little Nine Qings", and the "Big Nine Qings" are the six Shangshu, the Imperial Envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Dali Temple, and the General Political Envoy, and have the right to promote the court; "Xiao Jiuqing" is Taichang Siqing, Taifu Siqing, Guanglu Siqing, James Mansion James, Hanlin Bachelor, Honglu Siqing, Guozi Priest Wine, Shanglin Yuanqing, Shangbao Siqing, all of which are the palm seal officials of the Yamen in Beijing.
Compared with the "Big Jiuqing", the weight of the "Little Jiuqing" is somewhat insufficient.
Master He is in his prime, and he joined the cabinet under Li Dongyang and Master Li, just to go further, and the position he aimed at was Master Shen's Household Zuo Shilang.
Compared with the schadenfreude of others, Master He hopes that Master Shen can be promoted safely and peacefully, and there will be no twists and turns. Otherwise, Master Shen will not move the nest, and the position of the left waiter in the household department will not be vacated, and Master He will work hard to drill the camp, is it just to go to the criminal department and the Ministry of Industry to be an idle waiter? It's not as comfortable as being a palm print officer now.
Because of this attention, Master He got the news that Second Master Shen was about to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and sent someone to invite Shen Ji over.
"Master Shen returned to his hometown, but for the sake of succession? Which one did this heir choose? Master He asked.
He had received a letter from Master Hesan's family, and he knew about the Xu family's relatives in the winter last year, and he was also quite concerned about the heirs of Shen Shilang's family.
The son of the eldest master of the Zongfang family is the nephew of the He family, if he can succeed to the Shilang Mansion, then the two families will be able to go further in the future.
"It's Brother Jue and Brother Sifang Rui," Shen replied.
When Master He heard this, his eyes couldn't help narrowing, hiding his joy.
Shen Jue is his cousin, and he also came to visit the New Year with his brother and sister-in-law during the New Year; Although Shen Rui had never seen it, he had heard it mentioned by his old lady, and he had also seen this name in the letter of the third master.
The fourth room of the Shen family made a decision to the He family last year, and the wedding date was set for March this year, and Shen Rui will be his nominal nephew. As for the previous suspicions, there is this family business, and it has been covered up.
"But Brother Jue is under the name of Shen Shilang, and Shen Rui is under the name of Master Shen?" Master He said.
Shen Ji shook his head: "No, it's Brother Rui who is under the name of Uncle Cang, and Brother Jue who is under the name of Second Uncle Sizhou." ”
Master He was stunned when he heard this: "How can this be?" In this room in the Shen family's capital, Shen Shilang is a descendant, and he chooses the heir order, not the younger brother of the house? Why did you choose Shen Rui instead? ”
In Master He's opinion, the Shen family's capital has lost its bloodline, and it is also a win-win situation to choose an heir from the sect house, and the two heads of the house will support each other in the future.
Shen Ji said: "Brother Rui's grandfather has an old relationship with the second room, and he is older than Brother Jue. Besides, the fourth room of the Shen family is also the ancestral lineage of Zhongxing, and choosing an heir from the fourth room is no different from choosing an heir from the sect's house. ”
Although the two are nephews and uncles, after all, they are two surnames, and it is not easy for Master He to ask about the Shen family. At present, this result is obviously out of his expectations.
After Shen Ji left, Master He sat in the study for a quarter of an hour, sighed, and went to the inner courtyard to see Mrs. He.
Mrs. He has been raised in Beijing for three years, her children and grandchildren are filial, she has never seen old age, and she is in good spirits. Now the only thing that worries her is her granddaughter Sister Yun, who was raised by herself.
Sister Yun is sixteen years old this year, and Mrs. He has been hesitant to choose a son-in-law for her in Beijing or Songjiang.
After thinking about it, Mrs. He didn't worry about giving this granddaughter whose parents died to outsiders, so she chose a nephew from her mother's family as her grandson-in-law, and the wedding date was set for the end of this year.
Mrs. He wants to go back to her hometown to marry herself, but her age is really determined to go back and she will not toss it out again. Master He finally took his mother to his side to fulfill his filial piety, how to be willing.
Mrs. He couldn't, so she began to prepare for her granddaughter, and in April, she asked the fifth master of the He family to send Yun Niang back to her hometown to be married.
After hearing that Shen Shilang chose Shen Rui as his heir, Mrs. He was annoyed and sighed: "If only the old man insisted on being a relative...... In that way, Sister Yun can not only marry into the capital, but also know the roots. With the friendship between the two families for several lifetimes, they will not treat Sister Yun slowly. ”
Master He smiled bitterly: "Mother only thought of this? ”
Mrs. He's expression was slightly condensed, and she took a long breath and said, "The third child was confused back then."
Master He frowned and said, "Since my mother has met with Shen Rui, what do you think of this son's temperament?" But a narrow-hearted one? ”
Shen Rui entered the second room of the Shen family, and he will be the head of this room in the future, if he is a grudge, then Master He has to think about whether to suppress it in the future.
After all, the hatred of taking property is not a small hatred. Originally, the two families were close to each other, the He family gave more dowry, and Shen Rui had more nephew and uncle, completely covering up the old things. Now that Shen Rui has an heir, the situation has changed again.
is Shen Rui's successor to Master Shen's name, and Master He doesn't have to worry, because the long room above is pressing on the nephew of the He family.
Now it was Shen Rui who pressed Shen Jue, Shen Jue couldn't control Shen Rui, and he had Shen Rui as the head of the horse.
Mrs. He fiddled with a string of beeswax Buddha beads in her hand, shook her head and said, "There is no need to worry about this, with a biological mother like Sun, the child's heart can't be crooked." The second room of the Shen family is the most prominent in the Shen family, Shen Shilang and his wife are both shrewd people, if Shen Rui has a bad heart, even if he misses the old love, the two will not choose him as the heir of the little long house. ”
After listening to Mrs. He's words, he said in a down-to-earth manner: "That's right." Shen Rui's son is not only the heir of Shen Shilang, but also the disciple of Wang Shilang, the two families mention this one, I can't say when he will come out, if he is really narrow-minded, it will make people feel uncomfortable in the future. ”
Old Madam He nodded and said, "That's exactly the truth." Therefore, the old body regretted it, and he knew that today, he should have thought of giving Sister Yun to Shen Rui back then, but now it is too late to say anything. ”
When Master He heard this, he couldn't help but be moved: "The fifth sister is eleven years old, which is the same age as Brother Jue. ”
As for Shen Rui, Shen Juren has already decided on the Xiao He family, and the He family has promised a granddaughter, but the posture is too low.
Old Lady He frowned and said, "Don't mention this again, don't say what happened to Master Shen, even your cousin knows that she will complain about you." Although the fifth sister looks better, she is a concubine in the end. ”
Master He was just mentioning it, and he was suffocated in his heart. He has a total of four daughters, the eldest daughter, the second daughter, and the third daughter, who are already married, and only this one unmarried daughter is left, but she is a concubine......
The Lantern Festival is a watershed, after the Lantern Festival, the year has passed, and the Yamen has opened the seal.
The eldest master and the second master all began to go to the yamen, and the second master took a long vacation, and seeing that the departure was imminent, the second wife had already begun to pack her husband here; The eldest wife, Xu, brought the third wife and prepared a return gift list for each room of the Shen family.
The gifts sent by the heads of each room of the Shen family before, although they were rich and frugal, but the heads of each room were sincere, and the second room was so good that they could only enter and not leave.
And because among the young people who came to Beijing, some chose to be the heirs, and some did not choose, so they couldn't let everyone follow Bai for a while, and Shen Qin, Shen Bao, and Shen Lin all had gifts under their names. is under Shen Zhu's name, and the eldest lady has not been left behind. did not have Shen Quan's share, but in the name of Shen Rui, he prepared heavy gifts for the whole of the five rooms.
For Shen Rui, once the New Year is over, he should concentrate on reading.
Starting from the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Shen Rui and Shen Jue, together with Shen Qin and Shen Bao, the four brothers of the clan, began to go in and out of the courtyard of the third master in the morning and evening to listen to the third master's lectures.
The east wing of the front yard that the third master specially cleaned up for Shen Rui to go to Beijing before is now changed to a primary school.
Although the third master has never taught students, he has been taught, and he has personally gone down the field, so he knows what the main examination is for the imperial examination. Therefore, although he was a little stumbling when he started teaching, he also found some teaching doorways back and forth.
The third wife was worried that her husband would be tired, so she told the scholar to pay attention, and she would inquire carefully sooner or later. However, although her husband took great pains to prepare books, his spirit was getting better and better, he talked more, and his appetite improved, so she rejoiced in her heart.
Shen Quan was there because he was recommended by the second master and was about to enter Chunshan Academy to study.
For this matter, Shen Rui took a special day, brought Shen Jue, and set up a small banquet outside, inviting Shen Quan, He Taizhi and Mao Chi. He Taizhi and Shen Quan have known each other for a long time, and there is no need to introduce them, mainly to introduce Shen Quan to Mao Chi.
Mao Chi is already in the silk year of Chunshan Academy, he is considered an old man of Chunshan Academy, Shen Quan has just arrived, he has to take care of a few points, and he has been bullied.
The students enrolled in Chunshan Academy are from eleven to twenty-five years old, and Shen Quan's enrollment at this age is a little old, but it is not conspicuous.
As for Shen Li's eldest son, Shen Lin, who enrolled in the same year, he didn't need Shen Rui to worry about it if it wasn't his turn.
Shen Lin was there, and he entered the academy and the junior class, and they were all children of about the same age. He himself is the grandson of a scholar and the son of a bachelor, so no one in the Hanlin Academy School will bully him.
Shen Quan's entry will not be a beginner class, all kinds of people are mixed, and he starts his family background, and he is only the son of a person and the younger brother of a Jishi, which really has no weight......
