When Zhu Di, the king of Yan, led his army south to Jingjing, most of the Shandong people turned to the imperial court and resisted under the leadership of Shandong's political participation.

At that time, Zhu Di's army defeated Li Jinglong under the city of Jinan, and then surrounded the city of Jinan, and the iron string swore not to surrender, determined to hold on for several months, and finally made the king of Yan have to retreat.

At that time, the Shen people lived outside the city of Dezhou, making a living from farming, and in a blink of an eye, the Yan army broke through the city of Dezhou, and then the soldiers were divided into four ways to pursue the victory, Shen Shao's ancestors saw that it was not good, and hurriedly called the people in the village to take out all the food to reward the army.

This saved the entire village from being destroyed, and the ancestors of the Shen family were also praised by King Yan for this. Later, Zhu Di was forced to withdraw from Jinan, and the Shen family was worried that they would be liquidated by the government due to rebellion, so they also followed the Ju clan and fled to the north with the Yan army.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, a large number of officials and gentry such as Tie Xian and Fang Xiaoru were slaughtered, and Shandong was also purged, and the Shen people obtained hundreds of hectares of 'borderless land'.

On that day, Shen Shaoxin mentioned that the Yongle Dynasty moved to Shandong, in fact, it was the Hongwu Dynasty in the past, because the ancestors were secretive about this period of experience, after all, the southern Shilin is still haunted by the experience of Emperor Jianwen to this day.

A large number of fields were rewarded, and Shen Shao's ancestors were also awarded honorary official positions, and since then the Shen family has completed the transformation from peasants to gentry.

However, the ancestors did not have much knowledge, and several generations of people studied hard all their lives and failed to become officials, but it is precisely because of the precipitation of several generations that in recent years, several talents have begun to emerge from the Shen people in Shandong.

In the study, Shen Shao smiled again: "Now that the warehouse is abundant, it was originally prepared for the poor people in the clan who cannot be buried for marriage, and in order to support the school, if the fourth uncle is willing to come over, anyway, the house property is ready-made, and it will never let your family be poor, not better than living in four rooms in your hometown?"

"Ahem!" Shen Jiaji coughed slightly embarrassed, "Both parents are here, how can I leave." ”

Shen Shao couldn't hide his disappointment and sighed: "It's difficult to do both, it's also difficult."

Shen Jiaji, who was in a hurry to go home, stayed up all night to complete the genealogy and proposed to return to Suzhou. Where will the whole people here let him go? The rich and noble people did not hesitate to invite banquets with a lot of money, and those who had no money also brought wine to talk at night, in short, everyone admired his learning.

After a few more days, when the families saw that Shen Jiajisi was affectionate and wanted to go back, some immediately helped hire a boat, some gave gifts, and went to worship the ancestral grave together.

On the day of departure, Shen Shao sent a thick ceremony, Shen Jiaji stood on the bow of the boat, grateful for the love of the big guy, and couldn't help but say goodbye to the clansmen in tears.

Shen Shao specially instructed Li Renyi that he must send people to the border of Shandong before he can come back.

Since then, the exchanges between the Shen people in Wuxing and the Shen people in Dezhou have become increasingly close, and some children of the two families have gone to each other's schools to study, and they will give each other gifts during the New Year's holidays.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, it is the birthday of the "Bodhisattva at the head of the road", and the sound of firecrackers in the streets and alleys of the village comes and goes.

Shen Kan asked Caidong, only to know that the Bodhisattva of the road is the God of Wealth, and the folk of Suzhou have the Bodhisattva of the Road - the saying that you can't afford to offend, who dares to offend the God of Wealth? Therefore, in the ceremony of receiving the gods on the fifth day of the first month, all walks of life dare not be sloppy.

After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the liquor shops are basically opened, and people have a place to spend their time, and their homes are relatively quiet.

Shen Kan checked the food, specially sent someone to the city to purchase some fresh ingredients, and also followed lightly.

At noon, Shen Shi gathered his friends for a party, drank a meal, and because it was inconvenient for him to get drunk at home, he took the big guy straight to Ye Guyu's house.

A group of people rushed to kill, and the Ye family who was guarding the door was startled, and hurriedly stopped them from entering, and shouted again and again: "Ladies and gentlemen, my father-in-law went out and hasn't come back yet."

The last time I drank happily in the Ye family, there was no restraint from the elders, and I could be unrestrained casually, and it was not far from my own house, far away from the Qinglou Painting Boat, so Shen Shi liked it here, and he already regarded the Ye family as a base for gatherings.

"Get out of the way." Shen Shi stepped forward and shouted, "With me here, open the door, it's okay." ”

Qian Mengyuan made a joke and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of when my brother-in-law comes to my brother-in-law's house?" Let's go, the big guy goes in first. ”

With that, they swarmed up and broke through the gate. Several subordinates panicked, one hurriedly went in to secretly report the news, and one hurriedly locked the garden door.

The other two, you look at me, I look at you, with a look of embarrassment.

Seeing this, Shen Shi said, "What is there to worry about? Do you know where people go? Send someone to fetch him quickly, and say that I and my brothers are waiting for him. ”

"Yes." The family couldn't help it, so they pretended to agree and ran out.

Shen Shi led them to the front of the garden, and when he saw that the gate was locked, he frowned.

A group of people just stood like this, and no one came to deliver a cup of tea, Liu Yi said: "Since the master is not there, why not go to the younger brother's house?"

"It's better to go to a thousand homes than to sit in one." Shen Shi shook his head, "It's such a long way, when the big guy arrives at your mansion, I'm afraid that Brother Ye will also come back." ”

"That's right." Liu Yi nodded, "Then let's find a place to sit and continue to meet when we have nothing to do." ”

The subordinate who was hiding in the distance and peeping saw that this group of uninvited guests was not leaving, and chatted about poetry, and hurriedly went to the inner house quietly, and said to Ye Guyu: "You ministers couldn't wait for the young master to come back, and they wanted to leave, but they knew that Shen Daxianggong insisted on waiting, what should I do?"

Ye Guyu was eating wine with a good friend at home today, and just now he hid in the back, and when he heard that they didn't leave, he stomped his feet and said: "Damn, damn it, it seems that I have to go around the back door to the front door to make a lie."

This friend's name is Pi Youcai, and he was surprised when he heard this: "Why do you want to lie? Each other is not a real uncle, even if it is true, ask someone to go and say that you are drunk outside, and you will sleep when you come back, can he still force you out?"

"Yes." Ye Guyu thought about it well, it was normal to get drunk during the New Year, so he told his subordinates to reply like this.

I don't want this subordinate to be only fifteen years old this year, young and ignorant, relying on the master's explanation, and he also hates people outside, so he strides out.

He stepped forward and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please don't wait. My father-in-law has actually come back, because he and Uncle Pi enjoyed the chrysanthemums, ate a few more cups, got drunk and fell asleep, no matter how you scream, I couldn't wake up. The little ones can't do it, so I said that I wasn't at home before, but I'm really sorry, because I see that the ministers have to sit and wait, I'm afraid people won't be able to get up, so please go back first. If you must see my father-in-law, please another day. ”

Everyone was naturally very disappointed when they heard it, and they were speechless one by one. Shen Shi, who had drunk the wine, felt embarrassed and angry, and scolded: "Damn stupid, since you are drunk and asleep, you should return to me early, why do you call these bold servants to coax me?" He also said that he went out. A white-clothed inmate, I can't do half of the article, what am I looking for you to do? Isn't it because of the relationship between the deceased gentleman and your sister? Lift you up to take a walk, and it won't be rare for you to eat these two glasses of wine?"

The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and he continued to scold: "The day before yesterday, my eldest sister said that you are a stinger, and I refuted her, who knew that your miser was really like this." Ye Guyu, you miserly dog, I, Shen Shi, cut off my robe with you today. ”

The big guy felt relieved when he heard it before, but seeing that Shen Shi was getting more and more excited the more he scolded, he scolded him so much that he persuaded one after another: "Brother Shen, you dissipate your anger, don't scold, he is just drunk for a while, why do we need to be angry?" Why do you have to be here if you can't eat and drink anywhere? ”

They persuaded Shen Shi away, and Ye Guyu, who was hiding behind, heard him shouting in front of a talented man, scolding him for being a miserly dog, so angry that he blushed and had a thick neck, and couldn't say a word.

Pi Youcai hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be angry, Shen Shi is just a madman, he has no intentions, just forget about the friendship between the two families."

After speaking, he changed his words and said: "It's really too much, in fact, it's not difficult to rectify him."

"Brother Pi, he really deceives people too much."

Ye Guyu relieved his breath and was indignant, "You don't know Shen Shi, he has always been above the top and looks down on people, you say that he has no intentions, but he can make a fuss, and he can afford to take the exam, so he will definitely win." Now that he is still a showman, he has already ridden on my head and is presumptuous, if Lian Kezhong is in the future, will my life not be buried in his hands?"

Pi Youcai said: "I advise you to forget it, just endure it and pass."

"No, I can't take it." Ye Guyu said angrily.
