Chapter 273: Countermeasures
Not only is it unnecessary, but if they get closer, these people of the Su clan will consciously have a reliance, and they will do anything under his banner.
They lived far away from Su Shen, and even if something happened, Su Shen wouldn't be able to know in time.
If this one day broke out, Su Shen would be casually tired by them, and he would not have to do it.
Although Su Shen didn't care about their indifference and snobbery at that time, if he wanted him to accept these clansmen who had always been either icing on the cake or falling into the ground, Su Shen would not make such a mistake.
For him, it is most appropriate to keep these people from the Su clan close to each other at all times.
On the surface, they are clansmen, but in fact they are clansmen who almost never come and go, feeling Su Shen's indifference and alienation from them, knowing that if they poke out the basket Su Shen will never care, they will naturally lose the confidence to bully others.
In this way, these people will naturally not cause Su Shen any big trouble.
As for saying that someone occasionally asks him to have an autumn breeze, or that the clan occasionally asks him to donate some money to build an ancestral hall or a clan study, or to help the clansmen whose lives are really difficult, this is not a big trouble worth mentioning for Su Shen.
This idea of money, Su Shen still doesn't mind taking it out.
After all, even if the Su clan can say that those are not good people, the Su clan will not all be bad people.
Even if he doesn't expect his clansmen to repay the favor, it would be good to be able to help those clansmen who are living in difficulty.
Of course, Su Shen will not be fooled by the patriarch and clan elders, he and Meng Hao will send a large group of people to help them manage the grange, shops, and mansions, and by the way, they will also help them collect information about the Su family and the Su family.
Although these people are not as professional as Shen Wu and them in terms of collecting intelligence, Su Shen did not let them spy on the military or probe the secrets of the backhouses of those big families, he just wanted to grasp the general situation of the Su family and the Su family that were easy to inquire about and that the locals basically knew about everything.
This kind of general information that the parties will not put into the effort to keep it secret, and these people can listen to it in their ears while doing business.
With so many pairs of their eyes and ears to help Su Shen collect information, Su Shen didn't have to worry about the patriarch of the Su clan fooling him like a fool.
He had even made up his mind that if the old fellow had the audacity to fool him for a fool, then he would support a new patriarch from the clan who was ambitious but knowledgeable about current affairs.
Meng Hao told Hao Mengyun about these things as gossip, and while Hao Mengyun listened, he didn't forget to think about whether there were anything else that Su Shen and Meng Hao needed to pay special attention to.
It's just that compared with Su Shen and Meng Hao, Hao Mengyun, who has a big personality, is obviously not cautious and meticulous enough, she racked her brains for a long time, and finally couldn't figure out what Su Shen and Meng Hao missed.
Hao Mengyun was not entangled, and when he found that he was useless, he immediately shifted his attention to other places.
The two of them guarded the child, and you talked about the parenting scripture word by word.

"Next time I take a break, a few of my colleagues will come to our house as guests, you let the kitchen prepare some ingredients, and prepare a table of our family's private dishes for them when the time comes."
In the evening, Su Shen went home from the ya, Meng Zhen had just instructed Hollyhock to fetch water for him to wash, and Su Shen had already made such a request to her.
"Then I'll have someone talk to Sister-in-law Guo later." Meng Zhen bowed slightly at him while helping him hand him a clean cloth towel.
Su Shen took the cloth towel from Meng Hao's hand and hastily wiped the water droplets on his face and hands, "Aren't you curious about what our champions and role models look like?" When they come, I'll ask Yaya to come and tell you. ”
Meng Hao raised her eyebrows slightly, "Didn't you say that one of these two people is in his forties, and the other is young but mediocre?" ”
Su Shen said "um", "I'm not afraid that you won't believe me." ”
Meng Hao couldn't help but laugh with a smile on her face, "With your current attitude, I think I can also consider believing you." ”
Su Shen is a big vinegar jar, if the looks of those two can reach more than six points, Su Shen will definitely not be so proactive to let her see the true face of other people's Lushan.
Su Shen touched his nose, "Then aren't you curious?" ”
Meng Zhen nodded, "It's not a good family, so I won't join in the fun." ”
The corners of Su Shen's lips rose slightly, "By the way, I have asked Ah Shan to help him complete the matter of Ah Qi going to study in Guozijian, and when I take a break next time, I will personally send him to Guozijian." ”
As a small Jishi, Su Shen did not have the right to send people to study in Guozijian, originally he could have begged General Shen, but Su Shen's self-esteem made him unable to trouble the Yue family as soon as he had a little trouble.
In particular, General Shen was stationed in Guangningwei all the year round, and in order to avoid suspicion, he and the civil officials and Confucians in Beijing have always carefully kept a safe distance.
The most important thing for a border general like him with heavy troops is not how many connections he has in Beijing, but how much trust the emperor has in him.
It is precisely because they know this very well that General Shen, Mrs. Shen, and Shen Weide of the Dingbei Hou Mansion have always been very cautious in their work.
Even Old Man Shen, who is only keen on eating, drinking and having fun every day, seems to be uninhibited and cautious when deciding who he is friends with and associates with.
Su Shen is so smart, even if General Shen and Shen Weide don't say it, Su Shen can see the ban of the Dingbei Hou Mansion. Don't and the bottom line.
This is also why although he is the son-in-law of the Shen family, he is not very close to the Shen family.
Except for the New Year's festival and letting people give gifts to the Hou Mansion and the General Mansion of Guangning Wei according to the rules, Su Shen and Meng Zhen usually do not board the door of the Beihou Mansion.
General Shen and Mrs. Shen's perennial stay in Quang Ninh Wei is certainly one of the reasons, but it is definitely not the whole reason.
Meng Hao took the cloth towel that Su Shen had used up, "Then I will prepare books and the four treasures of the study for him tomorrow." ”
"You can also prepare some snacks and the like, Ah Qi has just entered the national prison, and it is still necessary to take the initiative to have a good relationship with his classmates." Su Shen said as he took the teacup in his hand, "As for the rest, I will personally advise him when I have time." ”
There are many children of powerful people in the Guozi Prison, and Su Shen doesn't want Meng Qi to blindly swallow his anger and avoid his edge because of his lack of confidence.
He and Meng Zhen taught Meng Qi so many things, not to let him be bullied.
"Ah Shan has already greeted Lord Saijiu, and Lord Saijiu will help take care of Ah Qi in the future and prevent him from being bullied."
"Of course, if Ah Qi wants to gain a foothold in the country, he can't just count on the protection of Lord Saijiu."
"At the end of the day, it's up to him to be able to stand on his own."
