Bang!

In the flower hall of the main house, the fourth wife, Sun, slapped the table with her hand and shouted: "Fifth child, come out quickly!"

Shen Kan, who was being a thief in the study, was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly made a shushing gesture to Shen Yuqin, and then walked to the door lightly, stretched out his head to look outside.

In addition to the fourth aunt, there are also the eldest sister and the second sister, and the three of them are staring at this side with their eyes.

How do you feel like a godson?

Shen Kan screamed in his heart, and asked, "When did you come?"

"Humph!"

Shen Peiwei, who was not smiling, couldn't help but tease: "You don't know we're here, right?" If it weren't for the fourth aunt's voice, probably you would still be talking about some fair lady in the house, the golden house is hidden, right?"

Finished! Shen Kan raised his hand and patted his forehead, pushed the curious Shen Yuqin in, and finally understood what it means to have ears on the wall.

He said with a hard mouth, and said with a smile: "The two of us are talking and playing, but in fact, there is nothing."

"No, no." Shen Yuqin also shouted.

Shen Peiwen couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and stretched out his hand to point at Shen Kan's face angrily, and sneered: "Death is still arguing?" Old Five, do you dare to say that you haven't seen any new sister-in-law that night? You didn't even tell anyone about such a big matter, are you worthy of me?"

Shen Kan blushed all of a sudden, and smirked: "Sister, I'm a little sorry for you, but you have to let me explain!"

"You don't need to explain, you just heard it all, don't you just have no way? But don't forget, you're guilty of not reporting it. ”

"Alas! I'm really in a dilemma. Shen Kan raised his head and let out a long sigh.

"Alright, don't make a fuss." Shen Peiwei pointed to the chair in front of her, "Sit here, we have something to ask you." As for the girl, I thought about it behind closed doors. ”

"Oh." Shen Yuqin, who is a big ghost, also knows the stakes, so she stuck out her tongue and hid in without righteousness.

At that moment, Shen Kan walked into the room slowly, there were three women sitting opposite the chair, and the maids were not there, so he couldn't help but smile and asked, "This is a three-hall trial?" Get! Who made me wrong? ”

Sit down honestly, deliberately sit upright, and hang your hands on your knees in a proper manner.

"We're serious about asking you about things, not kidding." Shen Peiwen said.

Shen Kan sighed: "You ask, what do I say, if I know, I will say that I know, and if I don't know, I will say that I don't know."

The fourth wife, Sun Shi, coughed lightly and asked first: "Okay, let me ask you, where does that person live?"

The first sentence pointed directly to the point, Shen Kan secretly complained in his heart, Shen Shi's matter was known, he naturally didn't care, what he cared about was that this matter couldn't be the first to come out of his mouth.

After thinking about it, he said, "Sit at the east end." ”

Shen Peiwen suddenly said angrily: "What you said is equivalent to not saying it, what is the east?" That's why I asked you, and you lied, how can it be reasonable!"

Shen Kan smiled bitterly: "Since the matter has been revealed, I don't dare to hide it, but I also have my principles, even if you kill me, I can't go into detail."

"Do you dare to insist in front of your grandfather?" Shen Peiwei said disdainfully.

Shen Kan fought back: "Then which of you dares to go to his old man's house and say it?"

Shen Peiwei was immediately speechless, who dared to rashly go directly to expose this matter? Everyone will choose to tell Shen Jiayou and his wife first, otherwise it will offend the big house very much.

In fact, to put it mildly, Shen Shi is indeed bold and reckless, concealing his parents and elders, corrupting the door style, etc., but are there few similar romances in these years? Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the amorous habits of scholars have never changed, and the practice of high-ranking officials accepting prostitutes and women has become a common practice.

At this moment, when faced with Shen Kan's counterattack, the three daughters suddenly found that their position was also very embarrassing. The first to denounce it, I had to face the same situation as Shen Kan, and the big guys collectively betrayed Shen Shi.

Second, it is inevitable that there are some unjustifiable names, an aunt, two sisters to be married, Shen Shi is fooling around outside, what does it have to do with them in the end?

Not to mention that the women in the boudoir in these years can't interfere in foreign affairs, how many wives know that their husbands are fooling around outside all day long, how many people really dare to care?

Third, what if Shen Jiayou and his wife acquiesced? Even if you don't know it, can so many people feel comfortable knowing about the ugly things of other people's sons? One is not good, but will resent them for meddling.

In short, the atmosphere cooled down instantly, and they looked at each other, and the three girls realized Shen Kan's dilemma, not to mention it, even if it was inappropriate, but it was not appropriate to say it.

Seeing Shen Peiwen's eyebrows tightened, the fourth wife, Sun and Shen Peiwei, breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts almost at the same time, they really didn't want to get involved in this troubled water.

Sun sighed: "The wood is already in the boat, I think what can the old man do when he learns about it?" It's just a big rage, scolding him with a cane, and then sending someone to bring that person into the house, and having to go to the Ye family in person to explain to him, can the dignified Shen family still get a weak woman out?"

"I'm afraid that my grandfather will be angry, and besides, how can I let his old man go to the Ye family to ask for guilt?" Shen Peiwei also sighed.

Shen Peiwen looked sad, and unconsciously, seven or eight tears quietly rolled to his chest, and he said quietly: "I never expected the eldest brother to be so uncompromising." That's it, let's put this matter aside for now, it's not bothering you, in short, paper can't hold the fire. In fact, let's just do it, the most pitiful thing is the sister of the Ye family, who hasn't passed the door yet. ”

Sun persuaded: "Don't be disappointed, it's just a matter of time or time, will Miss Ye oppose her husband's concubine?" Instead of letting the boss mess around outside all day long, it is better to have such a person to help. Alas! It's just that you shouldn't take a concubine at such a young age, and you shouldn't know the family in advance, so you shouldn't be sneaky. ”

Shen Kan, who shook his head, looked at this scene, resting on the family of the next generation, what a big deal is that? In ancient times, concubines themselves were not a problem, and even women took them for granted, but they couldn't hide it from their parents.

Seeing Shen Peiwen crying, Sun frowned and said to Shen Kan: "It's all the fault of the fifth child, and the trouble caused by it makes your eldest sister sad."

"Okay, it's my fault." Shen Kan looked aggrieved, "This catastrophe, I can't run away anyway." ”

Shen Peiwen raised his hand to wipe his tears and said, "You can't blame him, he just doesn't say it, sooner or later he will be told by others." Aunt Cheng and Pei Wei didn't know, and after a few days, I found an excuse to quietly tell my mother, sent someone to find Shen Shi back, and made the matter clear in person. ”

After speaking, Shen Peiwen sighed and left, and Shen Peiwei hurriedly chased after him.

Looking at their backs, Sun shook his head, knowing that he shouldn't, he couldn't avoid more or less schadenfreude. It is also Shen Shi who has been too good since he was a child, and compared to his son, he can't help but be jealous as a mother.

A motivated student openly takes a concubine before marriage, although the family will not do anything to him, but his reputation will inevitably be belittled. Generally speaking, normal scholars will not talk about concubines until they are thirty years old.

The damage to the reputation is not trivial, at the small to be despised, to the big may even affect the career, because hiding from the parents and elders, a lack of filial piety is ironclad, and filial piety is the core factor of the scholar's foothold in society.

I think the old man didn't come back in time to take care of the old lady, so he couldn't pass the test several times. On the contrary, it was the third master, who was not as knowledgeable as the eldest brother, but was selected by the imperial court to be an official by virtue of the word filial piety.

Thinking of this, Sun felt that Shen Shi's actions were really unreasonable, and sighed: "Why is the boss so confused?"

"There are so many unbelievable things in the world." Shen Kan also shook his head, why hasn't he been able to figure it out so far? Could it be that Shen Shi is true love for Jin Feng?

"Brother Mu."

"Yes."

Sun slowly turned his head and said with deep feelings: "You may not know about the disgusting things between the elders in each room, but in the future, you might as well keep your eyes open and watch the wives and concubines in your brother's house compete for favor." Auntie will tell you first, greedy for beauty is to be punished, women are not flowers and plants, not at the mercy of what you imagine, don't believe it, let's see. If you are smart, it is better to marry only one daughter-in-law. ”

"Nephew remembers."

Having said that, Shen Kan scratched his head, thinking to himself that modern people understand this truth, but why don't the ancient people who suffered from it not understand? The question is how much self-control is required when faced with a woman at your fingertips?

Sun looked at him and sighed, "It seems that I said it in vain."

"It's not in vain." Shen Kan was busy and solemn, "My nephew admits that he also has a lustful problem, but he will try his best to hold on to it, and it is good to be monogamous for a lifetime." Besides, I have no fame, so I am not qualified to take a concubine. ”

"Humph!" Sun suddenly sneered, "Are there still fewer concubines who have no reputation?" That's it, what do I do when I say this to one of your juniors, in short, I will persuade you tonight, and you will do it for yourself in the future. ”

"Yes, nephew."

"Okay, it's not too early, you hurry up and finish dealing with Yuqin, and go back as soon as possible."

"Yes."

In the small study, Shen Yuqin said triumphantly: "My acting is good, right?" Don't forget the gift you promised me. ”

"Thank you, I'll buy you a gift tomorrow." Shen Kan chuckled.

Shen Yuqin stared at him for a long time, and said, "Fifth brother, you are so cunning, I have to be careful of you in the future."

"As for it?" Shen Kan smiled bitterly, and then sighed, "I didn't have to do it as a last resort." The longer the eldest brother's matter is concealed, once it breaks out, he will be reprimanded as the grandson of the eldest house, otherwise what else can he do? The unluckiest of all is me, the accomplice! When have you ever seen your master beaten and his minions unpunished?"
