Chapter 158: The Shen Family
Based on his past cognition, Qingbai is not sure whether his actions are useful or not.
He had even thought about it, if the grandfather and his wife didn't want to take care of the second young master, he would go and ask the prince and the chief manager Liu, no matter what, he couldn't let his young master really be discounted by the people of the Shenguo Mansion!
Fortunately, things haven't gotten bad to the worst.
Thinking like this, Qingbai calmed down and answered Wei Fu's question, "Mrs. Hui, the master made an appointment with several other young masters to have tea together......
Although Brother Luo is a gentleman in the eyes of many people, it is still different from those real gentlemen, firstly, Brother Luo'er is still young, and secondly, Brother Luo'er himself does not like it, so although he has been a gentleman for several years, he does not touch wine on weekdays.
With Brother Luo, they are all sons in law who do not have to bear the heavy responsibilities of the family in the capital, because Brother Luo's identity is the highest among them, so it can be regarded as accommodating to Brother Luo, and whenever he goes out to get together, he will always choose to be in a teahouse instead of a restaurant.
This is no different.
The teahouse where Brother Luo made an appointment with others is Hongsheng Building.
Being able to enter the Hongsheng Building is a symbol of status, and drinking tea in the Hongsheng Building is more than going to those wine shops to make people feel that there is light on their faces, so everyone is not unhappy.
If it's just a group of young people getting together to drink tea and talk, it's actually okay, Brother Luo has been like this in the past few years, but no one expected that in Hongsheng Tower, they would meet Shen Rui, the fifth young master of the Shenguo Mansion.
Unlike Jiang Heng, who earned this Duke of the Kingdom by relying on his indelible military exploits, the title of the Duke of Shenguo is hereditary.
The ancestors of the Shenguo Mansion also followed the Taizu of the Jing Dynasty to fight the world together, and at the beginning of the Jing Dynasty, the ancestors of the Shenguo Mansion also established a lot of military exploits.
Of course, even at the beginning of the founding of the country, Taizu had never been rewarded with various titles as in the previous dynasty, if it was really a reward for meritorious deeds, it would be impossible for him to be crowned a prince of the country by virtue of the military exploits made by the ancestors of the Shen family at that time.
The reason why the Shen family later got this hereditary dukedom was because the ancestor of the Shen family had a life-saving grace for Taizu.
The ancestors of the Shen family have followed Taizu since the beginning of the previous dynasty, and fought the world with Taizu, but limited by qualifications, although the ancestors of the Shen family have made a lot of military exploits, they have never been the most dazzling person in the army.
Later, Taizu set the world, ended the chaos in the world, and also established the Jing Dynasty.
It was also when Taizu decided to ascend the throne and announced that he was the master of the world, but he was assassinated the night before he ascended the throne.
And the ancestor of the Shen family lost his life because of this.
It is precisely because of the hard work of the ancestors of the Shen family that Taizu will reward the Shen family with a hereditary dukedom.
The Shen family has no family, but they unexpectedly got this title, and I don't know if the gains and losses are what the Shen family thinks.
And because the ancestor of the Shen family has this life-saving grace for Taizu, Taizu also takes care of the Shen family, not only Taizu, but also the successive emperors, and the Shen family is also gracious.
Although I don't know if this kind of grace is due to the emperor's own wishes, or if it is just for the world to see, but no matter what, the Shenguo Mansion has never lacked holy favors, this is a fact.
In this way, after several generations, the Shen family gradually did not have the caution when they first got the title, especially now, the descendants of the Shen family are not how to become a weapon, and they don't think about how to carry forward the Shen family, but they actually think that anyway, the ancestors of the Shen family have the grace of life to the Taizu, even if the Shen family is good, there will never be a lack of holy grace, so in recent years, the Shen family has done a lot of ridiculous things.
Compared with Brother Liu, the peers of the Shen family, that is the real gentleman.
And the fifth young master of the Shen family, who fought with Brother Luo and broke a leg by Brother Luo, is even more of the best.
Although Shen Rui is in the Shen family, he is the eldest son of Shen Guogong Shen Yu, because Shen Guogong has been close to him for nearly ten years, but he is younger than the sons of Shen Yu's younger brothers.
Shen Rui is three years older than Brother Liu'er, exactly eighteen this year, and he was already a well-known gentleman in the capital four or five years ago, and it can be said that he eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and has all five drugs.
However, no matter how ridiculous this person is, just because he is a member of the Shenguo Mansion, few people dare to oppose him.
People who don't have enough status naturally don't dare to offend him, but those who have enough status don't bother to talk to such a person, so they are used to this Shen Rui becoming more and more unknowing.
It can be said that in the eyes of Shen Rui, except for the nobles in the palace and Shen Guogong Shen Yu, who can protect him, others are not looked down upon by him.
If it was a young master from another family, he would not dare to deliberately offend the people of the Zhenguo Mansion no matter what, but in Shen Rui's eyes, it is the Zhenguo Mansion, and even Jiang Heng himself, what can be so bad?
Jiang Heng is the prince of Zhenguo, and he has indeed made great achievements, but no matter how powerful Jiang Heng is, he is only a courtier, and his Shen family is Yu Taizu has the grace of life, just by virtue of this, the Shen family can live comfortably and beautifully under the care of successive emperors.
Therefore, Shen Rui didn't think there was anything that the Zhenguo Mansion couldn't provoke.
When Brother Luo and his friends arrived at Hongsheng Building, because the time was still early, there were not many people in Hongsheng Building, thinking that since there were not many people, there seemed to be no difference between sitting in the downstairs lobby and the private room upstairs, and the group sat at a table in the corner of the lobby on the first floor.
The group originally thought that there were not many people who came to the teahouse to drink tea in the morning this morning, but they didn't want to, but they would think like this, but it was not only them, but also the fifth young master of the Shenguo Mansion, who was also Shen Rui, the son of the Shenguo Prince.
Shen Rui acted flamboyantly, and for some reason he came to Hongsheng Tower early in the crowd of people this day, because Brother Luo and others sat in the corner, but Shen Rui and others did not find out.
Originally, this was nothing, although everyone had no contact on weekdays, but this Hongshenglou was not anyone's house, and there was no reason why others could not come.
But the bad thing is that as soon as Shen Rui and the others sat down, they immediately started talking, and they were also talking about the affairs of the Zhenguo Mansion.
