Chapter 179: Master and Apprentice
As the saying goes, there are people in the yamen who are easy to do. What's more, the "cousin" that Shen Ge just recognized is still a famous female general in Daxia.
Shen Yu drove away his younger siblings, abused his nephew, and seized his brother's property, and the villagers of Jiangting had long known that after Shen Xiaosui ran away, the patriarch of the Shen clan called Shen Yu and scolded him severely, and asked him to go to Wusha Town to find his nephew back.
Shen Yu went, but "Shen Xiaosui", who had been changed to Shen Ge, refused to follow him back to the village, so Shen Yu pretended to persuade a few words, and happily returned to the village to accept Shen Qiao's fields and houses with peace of mind.
Who would have thought that ten years later, a god-like big man would actually enter the village and personally inquire about this matter. The villagers of Jiangting were afraid that the punishment would not satisfy General Shen, so they took all the land and houses occupied by Shen Yu's family into the clan, and then removed Shen Yu's family from the family tree.
When Shen Ge arrived at the Shen ancestral hall, Shen Yu's two sons, four sons, two daughters-in-law and a bunch of children were crying darkly, but the Shen clan's attitude was very resolute and they had to be expelled.
Won't this kind of scum be driven out and kept to discredit the people and future generations?
Seeing that Shen Ge was coming with someone, the old patriarch of the Shen clan and Jiang Ting Village were cautiously informing, "The land of Shen Yu and Shen Qiao's brothers will be planted by the clan in the future, and then one of the children in the clan will be moved to Xiao Sui's name, so that after Shen Qiao's branch is there, the incense will not be broken. What do you think?"
The old patriarch's trick is quite clever. not only cleaned up Shen Yu's family, but also curried favor with General Shen, and also held the family property of Shen Yu and Shen Qiao in his hands.
Shen Ge didn't take this of Jiang Ting Village to heart, and said with emotion on his face, "It's still that you are old and well-informed, so it's only appropriate to deal with it like this."
Seeing that Shen Ge was so easy to fool, the old patriarch grinned his wrinkled mouth, revealing his only remaining front teeth, and said with a courteous smile, "The general has something important to do, why don't you have to have a meal in the village today before leaving." There are some things, little old man, I have to ask you to show me. Don't refuse, the people have already gone to kill the pigs."
Shen Ge and his gang naturally stayed, and after a pig killing feast, the old patriarch looked at Shen Ge and called him kind, and heard that their brothers' homes were washed away by the flood and wanted to settle in Jiangting Village, the old patriarch immediately nodded in agreement, and immediately asked Li Zheng to set aside a large piece of land for Shen Ge in the village to build a house.
Why did Li Zheng listen to the old patriarch? Because Li Zheng of Jiangting Village is the son of the patriarch of the Shen clan.
Later, Li Zheng diligently took Shen Ge to the governor's house in Wusha Town to help Shen Ge's eight brothers and sisters get naturalized and settle down.
The lieutenant governor of Wusha Town was newly appointed by the Yamen of Qi County, and he was also an old acquaintance of Shen Ge, so things went very smoothly.
When he came out of the chief's house in the evening, Shen Ge really became a native of Jiangting Village, Wusha Town, and was still the patriarch of their branch.
I thought it was indifferent, but Shen Ge, who had helped people get hundreds of fake household registrations, felt very down-to-earth when he took the household registration that really belonged to him.
It's like, with roots.
This night, Shen Ge slept very sweetly in the Guanyin Temple.
On the twenty-ninth day of the second lunar month, Shen Ge went to Jiangting Village again, and then followed Mr. Dongzhu to Tong'an County.
Mr. Dongzhu reunited with his wife and children, and Shen Ge went to Uncle Ma's house to pick up his sister Dog, that is, Shen Liangwu.
Seeing that the dog not only did not have crooked legs, but also grew and fleshed, Shen Ge was sincerely grateful to Uncle Ma and his family.
Third Uncle Ma had long known that Shen Ge had found Mr. Dongzhu - this matter had already spread in the six states of the Yangtze River, and now he learned that Shen Ge had also opened two shops in Xuanzhou and was engaged to Lin Ruyu, so he was so excited that he patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, Third Uncle has long known that you will definitely have a good future!"
Aunt Ma was also happy for Shen Ge, "Ruyu is beautiful and has a good heart, you and Ge'er are a match made in heaven."
This is Shen Ge's favorite words to hear, and he smiled and said, "When I marry Ruyu, the third uncle and the third aunt must go over to eat and drink."
Uncle Ma replied with a mouthful, "I'll send a letter to the family when I book a date."
Because Shen Ge had no elders in his family, Aunt Ma began to list the things he would use when he got married, "You don't need to buy the bedding, my aunt ......will make it for you."
Shen Ge brought a lot of people, and it was inconvenient to stay at Uncle Ma's house overnight
, After the reunion dinner, he took Xiaowu to the inn for Chinese New Year's Eve.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the brothers and sisters went to Shi's house to pay New Year's greetings.
Shen Ge is the great benefactor of the Shi family. If it weren't for him, Mr. Dongzhu would not have escaped the valley of Liyang County, and his family would not have escaped the monstrous flood of Wolong Causeway.
The Shi family is a scholarly family, enthusiastic but measured, and it didn't make Shen Ge and Xiao Wu feel any discomfort. Mrs. Shi left Xiao Wu to speak, Shen Ge followed Mr. to the study to discuss matters, and the old slave Shi Tang sent Shen Ge's favorite dim sum and Mr. 's favorite tea over.
Shen Ge discussed with Mr. Dongzhu, "General Shen was ordered by the Holy Father to come to investigate the case of the breach of the Wolong Dike, and he lived in the barracks twenty miles south of Tong'an County. With General Shen in charge, the people of King An's Mansion don't dare to act rashly, sir, you will stay in Tong'an County, don't go back to Xuanzhou."
How could Mr. Dongzhu rest assured that Shen Ge would go out alone, although he went with him, although he couldn't help much in the business field, but only he was in Xuanzhou, and those who wanted to find Shen Ge's stubble had to weigh it, "I answered Xie Shanchang, and I will go back to lecture in the next year."
Shen Ge smiled and asked, "Isn't Sir worried about me?" I have so many masters to protect me now, and the Lin family is my backer, I am doing well, so you can stay in Tong'an County and plant bamboo with peace of mind."
Mr. Dongzhu said, "At the end of the first month, the old man wants to ask Xie Shanchang and them to testify and officially accept you as a disciple, are you willing to worship under my door?"
Shen Ge was shocked, "Didn't Mr. not accept apprentices?"
Mr. Dongzhu gave him a blank look, "The old man has taught you for ten years, can't you want to be a respected teacher?"
Yes, of course! Shen Ge hurriedly got up and saluted respectfully, "The teacher is above, please accept the apprentice Shen Ge three times."
Mr. Dongzhu sat firmly in the chair, received three bows from Shen Ge, helped him up, and said with a smile, "Don't forget to make up for the apprenticeship at the end of the first month."
"Hmm." Shen Ge was so happy that he was about to shed tears.
In the eyes of the world, Mr. Dongzhu is withdrawn and indifferent and not easy to get close to, but in front of Shen Ge, he has been gentle for ten years, "Although heroes have not asked about their origins since ancient times, it is inevitable that some laypeople will talk about this, I wanted to accept you last year, but the prince of King An is in Xuanzhou, and it is not good to hold an apprenticeship ceremony." The people of the Wu'an Hou faction, coupled with my status as the only disciple, you will be able to walk in the future without a little trouble."
Shen Ge grinned and said, "It's not a little, it's a lot. The teacher is like the father, and when the apprentice and Ruyu get married, there is no need to worship the empty chair."
Mr. Dongzhu was distressed by this, and advised, "Don't forget to write a letter to Wu'an Hou to report the good news, and the etiquette must be thorough."
"Yes." Shen Ge responded, and discussed with Mr. Dongzhu again, "Tomorrow, the apprentices will take Xiao Wu to pay New Year's greetings to General Shen, and I want to take the opportunity to tell General Shen and Master He about the things that the apprentices have found out, and it is best to use their hands to spread the news and bring down King An."
Mr. Totake stroked his beard, "I will go with you for the teacher."
