Chapter 576: The Beginning of the Separation
Shen Xi has never returned since he left Taohua Village to Ninghua County when he was six years old, and Shen Mingjun and his wife are afraid that he will be detained by the old lady in the countryside and not allowed to study.
This time, Shen Xi returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and the battle arranged in advance was very large, and sixty or seventy people from the main branch of the Shen family wanted to go back to the countryside to worship their ancestors together.
Li, who used to be the "caretaker of the ancestral tomb", also felt that it was God's arrangement for her husband to divide the family and go to Peach Blossom Village.
The suffering at that time was for the glory of today!
However, the scenery of the old lady was completely overshadowed by Shen Mingjun's family, and the people in the main branch of the Shen family were a little sophisticated, and when they went to the Shen family to greet them, their attitude towards Shen Mingjun and his wife was obviously better than that of the old lady.
Ninghua County Ya specially sent people to return to Taohua Village with the Shen family, and the city has begun to tree the archway of the Yuanyuan, as well as the old lady's archway of chastity.
Ninghua County has two champions in the Ming Dynasty, and it has suddenly become the "champion county" in the mouth of others, and even the county magistrate earnestly asked Shen Xi to leave ink treasures for the east gate of Ninghua County, and the name of the east gate was changed to "champion gate" accordingly. It means that Shen Xi walked out from this gate and stepped on the road to the top exam.
The Shen family had just returned to Ninghua and had not yet returned to Peach Blossom Village, when a special guest came to the house.
This guest, even the old lady had to pay attention to, was Wang Lingzhi's father and Wang Changnie, the head of the Wang family.
Wang Changnie has a deep relationship with the Shen family, and now Shen Xi knows that the house where the Wang family lives now is the old mansion of the Shen family that has been repaired and rebuilt, and the Wang family has provided errands for Shen Mingjun, Shen Mingtang and several children of the Shen family's grandchildren, and it can be regarded as "benevolence and righteousness" for the Shen family.
This time he came to visit, Wang Changnie didn't come to congratulate, climb the relationship, or let the Shen family repay him, he came to thank Shen Xi.
Because of Shen Xi's teachings, Wang Changnie's second son, Wang Lingzhi, was a martial artist in the examination, and now he is serving in the border army.
Wang Lingzhi was the first person in the Wang family to be admitted to the Juren, although it was only a martial arts, but this also gave the Wang family a certain social status.
Shen Xi had met Wang Changnie before, and he didn't leave a good impression, this time Wang Changnie came to the door, and he was extremely humble, Shen Xi was not only Wang Lingzhi's "senior brother", but also a member of the court, Wang Changnie came up and kowtowed to Shen Xi.
"Inside, please."
Shen Xi personally helped the person up, and then invited Wang Changnie to the hall to talk.
In the past, if there were any guests at home, it must be the Li family, in fact, the Shen family would not have any important guests in the past, but now the situation is different, Wang Changnie is coming to the door, even the old lady has to stand aside, people are here to discuss things with "Lord Shen", and she can't follow a woman to mix.
Not even the old lady could go in, let alone her sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren.
Shen Xi and Wang Changnie sat down as guests, Wang Changnie took out something from his arms and handed it forward: "Master Shen, this is a small gift specially sent by the grass people to thank you for teaching children, please smile." ”
Wang Changnie has brought enough gifts, and there is no need to give another one at all. And the things sent this time, Shen Xi didn't know if he didn't look at it, and he was really a little surprised when he saw it, Wang Changnie actually wanted to send out the house he currently lives in?
"Shibo, you are ......"
There is no relationship between Shen Xi and Wang Changnie, if you want to say that the only relationship, this is his father's former employer, but now through Wang Lingzhi's relationship, it is not inappropriate for Shen Xi to call him a uncle.
Wang Changnie said with a smile: "This is the old mansion of the Shen family before, and now the child has been taught by Master Shen, who has passed the martial arts examination and served in the army, so the original house should be returned!" This house deed and land deed have all been declared by the government, and Master Shen can be famous. ”
The old house of the Shen family used to be one of the best mansions in Ninghua County, but now it is different from the past, with the rise of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, there are many new upstarts in Ninghua County, these people have low social status, but some are silver, and they have successively expanded their own houses, so that the old house of the Shen family is no longer so conspicuous in Ninghua County.
Shen Xi said: "I can't accept such a generous gift." In fact, the reason why he can be successful is because of his talent and intelligence......"
A wry smile appeared on Wang Changnie's face.
What his son is like, he knows better than anyone else, to say that his son is indeed stronger, but he doesn't know any martial arts tricks at all, and without Shen Xi's teaching, he can only be regarded as a reckless man.
In terms of literature and ink, his son was even more stunned, and in the end, under Shen Xi's tutelage, he memorized the complex art of war and Tao strategy by heart, what a great achievement?
Wang Changnie said: "The grass people have bought a new house in the city, and the house has been repaired, and the family will move there in a few days. ”
Hearing this, Shen Xi knew that Wang Changnie had long had the idea of returning the Shen family's old mansion, so he repurchased the homestead in advance for repair and expansion, and the Wang family wanted to return the house that they had lived in for decades, which was really unfair, but the Wang family was determined to move out, and the Shen family bought the old mansion back, which was feasible.
As soon as Shen Xi said his thoughts, Wang Changnie first refused, but later saw that Shen Xi insisted, and finally agreed.
The Shen family is prosperous, if the Shen family uses some "abnormal means" to beg for it back, the Wang family can be said to have no place to reason, it is better to be a favor and give the house to Shen Xi as a thank you gift, but it is indeed a loss to send out the big house worth thousands of taels for no reason.
Now that the Shen family wants to redeem it, it is reasonable, and of course the price will be as low as possible as a reward. In fact, there is Zhou's stake in the Chamber of Commerce, as long as the Wang family is willing to sell, there is naturally no need to worry about the silver.
For such a big matter, Shen Xi naturally wanted to discuss it with his family.
In fact, there is nothing to discuss, the Wang family is willing to let the house out, the Shen family can no longer be picky, it was not the Wang family who snatched the old mansion of the Shen family at the beginning, it is a normal transaction, your Shen family is not angry, and the old house and shop handed down by the ancestors have been sold, who is the complaint?
When Li Shi heard the news, his whole body trembled with excitement: "...... I've waited until this day, old man...... I'm worthy of your Shen family......"
The old mansion that the Shen family was defeated at the beginning can be redeemed now, or through her hands, she is the great hero of the revival of the Shen family, and she can also explain to the ancestors and ancestors under Jiuquan after death.
But in the end, Li took out all his savings, and there was still a difference of more than 400 taels of silver, and Zhou wanted to say happily, I have the silver. But at this time, she could only change her tone smartly: "Mother, it's better to let your daughter-in-law go back and borrow from the shopkeeper as an advance salary." ”
"Good...... It's not proper, our Shen family's mansion has to be redeemed and bought back by our own strength, so let's go and tell Master Wang, let's pay him a part first, and then give him the rest when I sell my current house. So he should be relieved, right? ”
The Li family is very willing to spend their money, and in order to redeem the old mansion of the Shen family, which is more symbolic, she is actually ready to sell the big mansion where she lives now.
Shen Xi nodded and said, "Then the grandson will go and tell Wang Shibo." ”
Li almost wanted to hold his grandson and touch his head, how could this grandson be so capable? After taking the top prize, he is still so reasonable and able to speak, and he does things properly, the young master of the Wang family is actually trained by his grandson?
The Li family didn't discuss it with others at all, so he decided this matter with Shen Xi and the two of them. Seeing off Wang Changnie, the family got together in the evening, and the family had some opinions.
Now the house is living well, each door and courtyard has its own small days, now it is good, the old lady will sell the house in a word, so that there is money to redeem the old mansion of the Wang family...... Live a peaceful life, why bother to toss?
"Shichiro, what do you think of this?"
Shen Mingtang said a word, and everyone looked at Shen Xi.
In the past, this kind of thing must be asked by the Li family, and what others said was equivalent to not saying it, but now as long as Shen Xi thinks it is right, even the Li family has no objection, but for the sake of respect, Shen Xi still has to ask the Li family's opinion on everything.
"I agree with my grandmother's meaning, the Wang family's mansion was originally my Shen family's old mansion, and now it is redeemed and bought back, as an explanation to the ancestors and ancestors before worshipping the ancestors."
Li Shi was so happy in his heart, look at my grandson, how nice is this to say? I was about to go to worship the ancestral grave, and when I was about to sacrifice the family, I would redeem the old mansion and let the people of the main line and side branches of the Shen family know that we can represent the Ninghua Shen family!
Shen Xi added, "However, the house cannot be sold now, and the money needed will be paid out of the house until I pay off the debt." ”
Originally, the Li family was still secretly cheering for her grandson's wise decision, but when she heard this, her expression suddenly stiffened.
At first glance, this seems to be the opposite of her, I want to sell the house, you refuse to sell, you have to pay for it, is this relying on your ability to make money?
But think about it carefully, this is the grandson's filial piety, knowing that my grandmother is used to living here, and she can't stand the toss, so she spends her own money to buy the old house......
"What does Grandmother think?" Shen Xi finally looked at the Li family.
Li said with a smile: "The master of the Wang family is willing to give up the old mansion for the sake of Qilang's face, and you have full authority to decide this matter." ”
Shen Xi thought to himself, what he was waiting for was your words.
Shen Xi said: "Then my junior will say a word here, after the redemption of the old mansion of the Shen family, the people in each house who are willing to move over can move there, and if they don't want to, they can continue to live here." After all, they're all used to it, what does grandmother think? ”
Li Shi sensed that something was not quite right with Shen Xi's proposal, the past and the ...... Isn't this tantamount to splitting up?
But just now I said that let my grandson call the shots, and now I regret it, isn't it a slap in the mouth?
"Well, Shichiro is right, if you are not used to living, stay for the time being, and move in a few days." The Li family is old and refined, and this sentence is very fast.
However, the Li family obviously ignored a problem, if it was really the Shen family who lived in two places, even if they were in the same Ninghua County, it would not be her small-footed old lady who could decide everything in the future.
The Shen family is separated from each other, and the Li family is definitely going to move to the Shen family's old house, and among the people in each room, only the people in the third room will take the initiative to move over, and the others will probably choose to stay.
Since she stayed, the daily expenses could not be borne by the old lady, because there was a distance between the two sides, and the old lady could not reach the whip, who served whom here?
As long as you start a family and start a business, you have to live your own small life, the silver will be independent, and the purse will be independent, isn't this Shen family equivalent to a plate of loose sand?
If it continues to develop, it won't be long before the Shen family is truly separated. (To be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote, your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
