It is said that there are five brothers in the previous generation of the Shen family, Shen Kan's grandfather Shen Han is an only child, and after the separation, their branch will be attributed to Wuxing Hall, and the rest will have two, three, and four halls.

Shen Kan's father's name is Shen Jiamou, and the word is only asked. Although the literature is slightly inferior to the eldest brother and the second brother, and the character is excessive. When Shen Han was arrested and imprisoned, Shen Jiamou was alone for food, clothing, and food, so everyone praised his filial piety.

Shen Kan's family is known as the three rooms of Wuxing Hall, and now Shen Jiamou is elected as a prisoner of the State Prison to be appointed by the Shanglin Yuan Vegetable and Vegetable Bureau, half official and half official, living in the capital. According to the clan rules, Shen Kan was sent back to his hometown since he was a child to accept his grandfather's teachings.

The big house is Shen Kan's uncle Shen Jiayou, the word is only mountain, he is generous and sparse, and the family says that Shen Shi resembles him when he was young.

When Shen Han was imprisoned, Shen Jiayou couldn't come back in time when he went out to travel, so he has been haunted by it, and now he is with his old father every step of the way, and he has given up the idea of going out, in addition to honoring his parents, he is dedicated to taking care of the Shen family.

Shen Kan's second uncle's name is Shen Jiamo, the word is only Cheng, the old prisoner of Jinling Guozijian, and has lived in Jinling for a long time. It is said that he is respectful and filial, treats people kindly, likes to read the Confucian classics of the Song Dynasty in his life, and his poems are steady and elegant. But as Li Charen analyzed, this second uncle's temperament is exactly the same as that of his nephew Shen Hua, and he has known reading all his life, but the third brother was elected as an official, but he is still in the Guozi Prison.

In addition, there is Shen Jiaji, who has four rooms, and the word is Weixi; Shen Jiahe of the fifth room, the word is Rui.

Among them, Shen Jiaji's personality is bold and upright, and he disdains the current Shiwen rope ink when he was studying, and after entering the Guozi Prison, he quickly gave up and returned home to help his eldest brother Shen Jiayou take care of the industry, calling friends to live a chic life.

Now, relying on Shen Jiaji's ability, the four-room industry is thriving, and even the life with the whole family is getting better day by day. However, Shen Jiaji, who has the style of a chivalrous man, often helps relatives and friends, so the family's clan and in-laws, friends and neighbors point to him to help a lot of people, the Shen family's money and food come in with the left hand and go out with the right hand, making the women in the family complain about most of him, but fortunately, the old man Shen Han appreciates this very much.

Shen Kan's fifth uncle, Shen Jiahe, belongs to Shen Han's old son, only five years older than Shen Kan and the same age as Shen Shi.

Shen Han was worried that he would spoil his young son, so he handed Shen Jiahe to Shen Kan's father Shen Jiamou to take care of him early in the morning, and now he is studying in the capital.

It is precisely because Shen Kan lives alone in his hometown and there are only a few subordinates around him, so the strangeness of the crossing was well covered up by him. As for Wencai, Shen Kan used to be naughty, chasing after the ass of the fourth uncle Shen Jiaji all day long, and was scolded by the old man Shen Han that their uncle and nephew were a pair of unfortunate things, and they belonged to the worst learned.

Bidding farewell to the talkative Li Charen, under his guidance when leaving, Shen Kan quickly found the number plate room of the two brothers.

He didn't care what the rules were, anyway, he was young, but he had actually heard that there were few rules in government-run colleges, and they were not as troublesome as private academies.

Entering the small courtyard, the scholar Shoumo was squatting on the ground fanning the stove, heard the footsteps, looked up and saw someone coming, and hurriedly stood up, his eyes were full of courtesy,

"Fifth Young Master, are you here?"

"Hmm."

Shen Kan was quite useful in his heart, although he was not treated by the elders of the clan, but the "father" who had never met was an official, even if the subordinates were for the sake of the second generation.

There was a conversation in the study, and through the curtains, it seemed that there were more than two people. Shen Kan asked in a low voice, "There are guests?"

"It's the young master of the Sun family and the Ye family." Shoumo also replied quietly.

"The Sun family? The Ye family?"

Shen Kan nodded, there is no white ding in his own family, since the good reputation of the scholarly family has been restored, the objects of marriage are naturally those who are well-connected or have a good reputation of the scholarly family.

The Sun family is the Yaojiang family, and the Ye family is one of the Fenhu families, the same as the Shen family, all three families were established in the Ming Dynasty, and the family began to urge their children to study, and then after decades of precipitation, it has exploded in recent decades.

The history of each family is the talk of the streets and alleys, and the locals know it in detail, so Shen Kan also knows something.

The first Jinshi of the Sun family was named Sun Hong, who was admitted in the 22nd year of Yongle, and after a hundred years of cold doors in the Yuan Dynasty, he opened the lintel of the Sun family again. And what really made the Sun family a prominent family was Sun Hong's nephew Sun Sui.

When Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, rebelled, Sun Sui, who was then the right deputy capital of the imperial history, happened to be the governor of Jiangxi, and was resolutely unwilling to obey.

As a loyal minister, Sun Sui was posthumously presented with the secretary of the ministry and was called a loyal martyr. His three sons are all outstanding, and the eldest son is worthy of his father's shadow, and was rewarded by the imperial court with a thousand households of Jinyi Weizheng. In the fifth year of Jiajing, he participated in the martial arts examination and won the first place.

The second eldest Sun Qi is a great Confucian, who was once hired by officials to preside over a lecture at Hangzhou Wansong College. In the twenty-second year of Jiajing, he was awarded the title of Zhongshu by the imperial court.

The third grandson is a great talent, the second place in the first class in the palace examination in the fourteenth year of Jiajing, and now he is an official in the Ministry of Rites in the capital.

Even the three brothers have become officials, all have university education, and their reputations are good, and the Sun family has naturally become a well-known family. At that time, the old man entrusted the matchmaker to marry Sun Kan's youngest daughter Sun Kan for Shen Kan's fourth uncle Shen Jiaji, and the two families became in-laws.

The development experience of the Ye family is similar, since Ye Huigong and below, the generation has been shown by Kedi, and it is the Wuzhong Wang family.

There are many tribes of the Ye family now, Shen Kan doesn't know the details, he only knows that his aunt Shen Paner married a Confucian named Ye Dan, and then a daughter of the Ye family was promised to the eldest brother Shen Shi the year before last, and she has not yet married, and the two families also married in the previous generation, anyway, the relationship is much closer than the Sun family.

In the gossip of the family, the Sun family has not been prosperous for a long time, and they are all honest and honest, and they have little money, while the Ye family is a well-known rich man, and successive generations of family heads are good at managing their families.

At this time, Shoumo said through the curtain: "The fifth young master is here."

"The fifth is here? Let me see, let me see. ”

There was a hearty voice in the study, and Shen Kan couldn't help but be stunned, because the voice was not from the two brothers, but fortunately, he had a way to deal with it, and immediately said respectfully: "Yes, the younger brother saluted the brothers."

"Why are you so polite? You're not a rigid person. ”

I saw a young man with a lofty spirit coming out of the room, with a puzzled expression: "Before, Daoxian also said that you have grown up and become sensible, but I still don't believe it, it seems that you have really become older." Can I tell you, don't you?"

Shen Kan stared at the handsome young man, didn't dare to say anything, and stood there smiling.

The man behind the young man shook his head slightly, but did not answer, the two looked very similar.

Shen Kan's heart suddenly moved, and he remembered that he was alone, but he still didn't open his mouth for the sake of safety.

"I'll just say he's changed."

Shen Shi, who was sitting in the room without moving, pointed at Shen Kan, the eldest grandson of the Shen family, whose face was like a crown of jade, and his every move was full of energy, "In the past, he liked to do things when he was young, and he followed my fourth uncle all day long. In recent years, don't look at his young age, the wedding and funeral guests in the mortal clan enjoy all things, but gradually everything depends on him, but he is also the head of cooking. Somehow, I have suddenly opened up recently, and I have been hiding away from all the miscellaneous things, which is like words!"

After saying this, except for Shen Kan, who didn't react, the other four all frowned.

Shen Kan's second brother Shen Hua also sat in the room, with that poker face, even if he frowned slightly, he couldn't see any expression, and the young man opposite him frowned first, and then looked surprised, and everyone stood up, and then slowly sat down at this time.

The two people who came out reacted the same, and Shen Kan could see that their faces seemed to show a little displeasure.

The person named Ye Kehe still didn't speak, and the handsome one said: "I appreciate the fifth person as a person, and he can know how to share the burden for his elders at a young age, probably because he is busy with his studies this year, and his knowledge must have made great progress."

At this moment, Shen Kan confirmed that there was no one else among his relatives who could protect him except him!

It should be Ye Kehe of the Ye family who doesn't speak, unlike Shen Hua, the second brother of the stuffy gourd, but he never wants to talk about anyone, and the others are unscrupulous.

At the same time, Shen Kan's heart couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, the eldest brother Shen Shi's words should have been unintentional, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he swept his younger brother's face, because the juniors in the clan who helped the elders take care of weddings, funerals, etc., were naturally those who had no hope of fame and no success in their studies.

Congwen and non-congenital contemporaries, in a family like the Shen family, the status is far apart.
