Ru'er, who was in a messy mood, walked all the way back, and secretly said that Master Pei had changed so strangely, how could he say that he had changed all of a sudden? How do you tell me to tell Miss?

"What should I do?" Ru'er had a headache, "After Miss heard it, she didn't know how to be anxious, and how could I not know what was on her mind?" Maybe there will be another kind of turmoil. But I can't bear to say it, Master Pei asked me for Miss's birthday, how can I reply to him?"

Ru'er, who couldn't afford to offend anyone, sighed, it seemed that now the only way to do this was to take advantage of Jiang Tongzhi's family to be hired, and quickly ask the young lady to deal with it as soon as possible, even if she begged Mrs. Pei bitterly, maybe there was a chance to redeem it.

Thinking of this, she sped up, and couldn't help but complain about Shen Peiwei in her heart, saying that it was strange and weird, she only blamed her own young lady for being too honest and too face-saving, if she agreed to the family affairs of the Ke family that day, wouldn't there be nothing? If you have to deliberately take the class and worry about any selfless cheats, you don't blame Master Pei for using this excuse to allow her to someone else today.

"Miss, it's up to you to do this."

Ru'er returned to the room, and Shen Peiwei asked, "Where have you been?" I didn't see anyone for half a day. ”

Ru'er glanced at her and said, "It was the master who called me over, and I have something to say."

"What do you say?"

"Miss, don't be angry when you hear this."

Shen Peiwei smiled: "Why should I be angry with my father-in-law and his old man? Say it. ”

"Yes."

At that moment, Ru'er was cross-hearted, and said Pei Zhixian's words word for word, and as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Shen Peiwei, whose face was getting whiter and whiter, rolled her eyes and fainted on the bed.

Frightened, Ru'er hurriedly stepped forward, supported her body, pinched the middle of the person, and shouted loudly to Gou'er to go and get ginger soup.

Hook Er went to the kitchen to ask for a bowl of ginger soup, knelt beside the bed, and the two worked together to pry open Shen Peiwei's teeth, and slowly sent a few mouthfuls of soup into it with a teaspoon.

After a while, Shen Peiwei slowly woke up, a burst of sadness welled up, sighed a few times in a row, and cried and said, "Why am I so miserable!" Isn't it superfluous to save me in the first place than it is today? It seems that I was born with a hard life, no wonder others, rather than living in the world at the mercy of others, it is better to be clean now when I die. ”

After speaking, Shen Peiwei cried loudly.

Ru'er hurriedly persuaded: "Miss, don't be sad first, the matter is not a foregone conclusion now, you have to think of something important to deal with it quickly."

Shen Peiwei cried: "What can I do? You said. Only one death will be over, what should be right. ”

Seeing the girl's desperate face, at the critical moment, Ru'er couldn't help but tell everything she knew, so she was ordered to go to the garden to deliver soup yesterday, met Ke Wenden, and talked about the conversation with him.

"It's all taught me by the eldest lady, and she told me to hide it from the young lady." Ru'er explained, "So according to the maid, Master Pei is doing things in a real way, which is really hard to guess, and the truth of this matter is not necessarily, Miss, you don't have to fall into it, ask for trouble, and let the Pei family laugh at Miss for being too stupid." ”

"Oh." Shen Peiwei was a little stunned, and then remembered that day on the balcony, among the men talking below, there was clearly the voice of the fifth brother.

Not to mention that the father-in-law is not that kind of person, and the fifth child will never let this happen, if the two of them are like this, then how can they save themselves?

"You're right." Shen Peiwei immediately calmed down, "It seems that my father-in-law deliberately tried me to see if I was sincere to Ke Lang." Hum! Then I'll just make a plan. ”

Shen Peiwei, who guessed that she was teased, was angry and happy, and attached to Ru'er's ear, "How about you say it like this?"

"Hee-hee, good!" Ru'er clapped her hands and laughed, "But, miss, don't take it seriously." ”

"Phew!" Shen Peiwei made a gesture to smack her, but Ru'er got up and ran away with a smile.

Ru'er went to the main room here, and shouted in a panic: "Master, madam, it's not good, it's not good!"

Pei Zhixian and his wife, who were chatting in the house, were surprised: "What's going on, so in a hurry?"

Ru'er shouted: "Just now the slave maid told my girl what the master ordered, and she was immediately anxious, crying and screaming there to hang herself, and she couldn't live anymore."

"What!" Pei Zhixian was so frightened that he jumped three feet high and rushed out directly.

Mrs. Pei's mother and daughter also hurriedly chased after them, and saw that the door of the boudoir was closed, and Pei Zhixian said loudly: "Peiwei! Hugh can't think about it, this is the old man trying your heart! Oh, don't kill yourself!"

In desperation, he wanted to kick the door open with his foot, regardless of his age. There was a creak, and the door opened.

The big guy saw Shen Peiwei walking out with a smile, and chuckled: "Father's kindness has not been repaid, how dare the child be willing to die?"

Hey! The women were all inexplicable, and when they saw Pei Zhixian, they were stunned at first, and then looked up to the sky and laughed: "Okay! Hahaha, what a smart girl, she can be said to know my heart very well, and it is not in vain to be a good idea. ”

At the same time, Shen Kan was tired of reading and went to the fourth uncle's study.

When I entered the door, I saw the housekeeper and said: "Yesterday, the new Mr. Xuezheng Zhou came to worship, saying that it was the same year as the master, and he waited in the hall for a long time, but he didn't wait for the master to come back, and he was very melancholy when he left."

"I see." Shen Jiaji nodded.

Motioning for his nephew to sit down, Shen Jiaji said, "This Zhou Xuezheng is the descendant of Lord Tiexian."

"Iron Strings?" Shen Kan was surprised, wasn't that the person who swore to resist Zhu Di, the king of Yan, in Jinan? hung Zhu Yuanzhang's tablet on the city wall, and Zhu Di was so angry that he was helpless.

Later, after Zhu Di led his troops to reroute and capture Jinling, he sent troops to Jinan to report several defeats.

It is said that Tie Xian entered Beijing, Zhu Di personally interrogated, Tie Xian scolded him for being rebellious, cut off his tongue, ears and nose, and then put it into the oil pot, and died at the age of 37.

Although he died tragically, his family was not wiped out, and it is said that his parents were sent to Hainan, his wife and daughter were sent to the sect to be used as military prostitutes, the eldest son was used as an army, and the second son was an official slave.

In the end, it is unknown whether the wives and daughters of the ministers around Emperor Jianwen all came to this miserable end, anyway, it is well known that the Manchu Qing Dynasty tried its best to smear the previous dynasty.

It is recorded in the history books that after Zhu Di's death, Renzong succeeded to the throne and immediately issued an edict: "The families of the ministers of Jianwen are slaves in the Jiaosifang, Jinyiwei, Huanyi Bureau, and the families of craftsmen and meritorious heroes, and they are all for the people."

Even though many women have been subjected to inhuman humiliation for 20 years, dying and getting old, after all, the family has been pardoned, which is a great blessing in misfortune.

This Zhou Xuezheng is the descendant of the daughter of the iron string, when he and Shen Jiaji, Pei Zhixian in the same year in the Jinshi, one chose to go home to serve his parents, two stayed in the capital to watch the government, and now Zhou Xuezheng was also released by the Ministry of Officials, and came to the county to do a teaching.

Zhou Xuezheng, like Tie Xian, is a native of Dengzhou, Henan, he knows that Shen Jiaji is open-minded and decent, the Shen family is a famous scholar in Jiangnan, and he is a brother in the same year, so as soon as he arrived, he couldn't wait to come to visit. I just didn't expect Shen Jiaji to have something to do, so he returned in amazement.

Shen Kan is very happy, now the county master and Xuezheng are their own people, don't ask them to show favoritism, as long as they are treated fairly and justly.

In this way, he is more confident about the next year's exam, otherwise he will encounter some disgusting officials .......

It seems that this is luck, of course, thanks to family background, how can ordinary people have a chance to get such luck?

For a while, Shen Kan was quite emotional, and Shen Zuo, who had just come in, couldn't help but look excited after learning about it.

At this time, Shen Jiaji reminded: "Hugh should think that Xuezheng is my friend, and you will be able to take advantage of the loopholes, I am afraid that on the contrary, it will be more difficult in the examination room, precisely because of this suspicion!" Alas. ”

Shen Kan was stunned, and said in his heart, no! The elders are coming and going, and this layer of origin will soon spread throughout the officialdom, so in order to avoid suspicion, they will naturally be extremely strict with the children of the Shen family.

"Don't be afraid." Shen Kan immediately said, "It's better to be strict, that is, to make everyone lose convincingly." ”

"You're right." Shen Jiaji smiled, but there were still hidden worries in his heart.

Because Pei and Tuesday's friends are all serious scholars, they have become more and more pragmatic after becoming officials, that is to say, they pay more attention to their talents in the selection of materials, rather than just being keen on literary talents, to put it bluntly, they value the comprehensive strength of students.

Shen Jiaji said secretly in his heart: "The fifth child should not worry, erudition and ability are his strengths, but it is difficult for other nephews to say."

The boss Shen Shi is brilliant, but he lost his experience, his temperament was a little frivolous, and he also concealed the concubine in his family, and his reputation was not very good; The second child, Shen Hua, is steady and well-read, but he is inflexible and too old-fashioned.

The third Shen Wei and the fourth Shen Zuo are very outstanding in all aspects, but because they are too good, with the unwritten rules of officialdom, I am afraid that the officials such as He Zhifu will deliberately press them for a few years and sharpen their spirits, which is a good heart of the people.

Shen Jiaji glanced at Shen Zuo, who was still excited, shook his head slightly, and when he thought of his son Shen Xiangdao, he couldn't help but sigh, in Jiangnan, where humanities are gathered, poor appearance is often a fatal injury!

Looking at the calm Shen Kan, Shen Jiaji said in his heart Why is he not my son?
