Dong's family, study room.

Dong Shen hurriedly returned from Chen Yan's house. He didn't care about having tea, so he went to the study to find her husband and asked about his daughter's engagement with Chen Yan in advance.

After hearing his wife's words, Dong frowned and thought for a while, before touching his beard, he said, "Before the matter of choosing a heir to the second wife of the Shen family, don't mention the engagement between Sister Shu and Chen Yan, wait for the Shen family's side. The matter is settled and is talking about it.”

When Dong Shen heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "What is the master's saying? Why can't he mention it? It's not that the master has long been optimistic about it, and Brother Yan's mother has also spoken out, just waiting for Sister Shu and the hairpin to make an official decision?"

Juren Dong shook his head and said, "If Chen Yan is really adopted by the son of the Minister's Mansion, then the marriage will be abandoned."

"Why should I give up? It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's hard to help in time. Could it be that Chen Yan's kid, who is rich and powerful, dares to be ungrateful and unrighteous, and will ruin this door?" Dong Shen's voice was a little sharp.

Among the nephews of the family of my mother, Dong Shen didn't like Chen Yan earlier. Although Chen Yan was a legitimate family of the second family, he had not even entered the genealogy, and he could not catch up with the common family of the other family.

The son-in-law she chose for the young girl was Chen Quan, a five-bedroom family.

The five-bedroom house is rich and has a good family tradition. Chen Quan is the youngest son. He will be divided into one in the future. The bride does not need to serve the old man and aunt. However, before she asks someone to take the message, she left the third bedroom, and the ninth bedroom occupied the fourth bedroom Sun family. The matter of dowry. The Master of the fifth house looked down on the third house, and after this incident, he even got far away from the third house.

Dong Shen is a married daughter of a third wife, and the slightest rift between the fifth wife and the third wife is different from her. She asked the old lady in the clan to speak in front of Guo, but Guo said, "It is not appropriate for Brother Quan to be early. Marry, and politely declined the marriage.

Dong Shen was angry, but he had no choice but to die.

As for the fourth wife, Chen Jin, even if she was a young scholar, she also named the legitimate son, she looked down on him. The evil monk is the evil monk. As long as Shen Rui is there, Chen Jin, the legitimate son, will be unconfident. Don’t say that your biological mother is still there, you really have to tell your daughter to Chen Jin. In the future, in addition to serving your stepmother and mother-in-law, you will also serve your concubines and mother-in-law. You are not a human being inside and outside, so how can you deal with yourself?

The choice of Chen Yan is because of her husband. The old man from her parents seems to have spoken out to support this marriage. In addition, Sister Shu has seen Chen Yan's cousin and senior brother, and she is also interested. Dong Shen's side is reluctant. The earth answered.

Unexpectedly, her daughter and hairpin were about to be around. Seeing that Chen Yan was about to double her value, her husband changed his mind.

"Qi Dafei Ou is the Minister's Mansion, how can the eldest daughter-in-law be easy to do? Not to mention the daughter-in-law," Dong Juren frowned and said, "If you don't have both the same, it's not much to do. If you have both the same, you may have to choose a house. Is it possible for ordinary people to deal with the noble concubine?”

Although the "Da Ming Law" does not mention the matter of being a commoner, it has been happening among the people for a long time. If it were a merchant, it would be a commoner, and if it was a "big person" and marry the so-called "balanced wife" and divide it into two families. Living together. Even if you are on the genealogy, it is not too much. Both houses can have a wife. However, if there is a dispute and the court is in court, the only one who recognizes the original wife before and the one who comes to marry later can only be married. Be a concubine.

People who are in the family of officials and scholars will not make jokes like "pairing wives". There can only be one legitimate wife recognized by the clan law, and they do not recognize "combining the legitimate wife". However, in order to reproduce children, they marry two noble concubines to pass on their heirs. No one can say anything.

Dong Shen still said, "No matter what, the marriage between the two families has been agreed to have been agreed, and it is only a matter of making a decision. Even if the Minister's Mansion is in a hurry to spread, Sister Shu should have a reputation. This is why It should be made as soon as possible.”

Juren Dong frowned and said, "Don't talk anymore. Is there only one Chen Yan in the Shen family? The second house comes to pick his heirs, and each family is unhappy to push his descendants up. Why should the second house choose from the children who have a marriage contract? If it is because of this marriage , Chen Yan lost the qualification to choose a heir, and he could not blame Sister Shu for the rest of his life." Seeing that his wife did not give up, he could not comfort her softly: "Don't be too troublesome, Chen Yan is a kind-hearted person. If he is really chosen, Without us speaking, he would take the initiative to mention this marriage.

When Dong Shen heard this, he was indifferent and had no formal engagement constraints. He was confident when he went to bet on Shen Yan. He couldn't say that he could not get the first one and just get the money out of nothing. Chen Yan was cheap. If so, he would rather hope for Chengsi. Shen Zhu took the good thing, that was his own nephew, and he would never refuse to recognize his aunt...

In the end, there are no more than outsiders, especially female family members who come to the house. They are thick with face and nodding, and then they can become "uninvited guests" without telling each other.

Because I heard that Xu was here, there were endless female guests in the Rizong family.

However, everyone's diligent plan failed because Xu left the clan room early in the morning and went to the prefect's office to visit the prefect's wife Zhuang, and only the eldest lady of the clan room, He came forward to entertain guests.

Except for the fourth room and the fifth room, no one came to the door, and all the women on the other fronts of the room arrived.

The female family in the seventh house and the eighth house are. Because of Chen Qin and Chen Bao, they had known that Xu and Sun had an old age, and they had been to Songjiang to see each other. They were not surprised to hear this. The female family in the other houses were a little Can't touch the mind.

The eldest lady of Sanfanghu giggled and said, "This minister is not of higher rank than the prefect. Why isn't the prefect's wife coming to visit Sister Cang? Instead, Sister Cang went there in person?"

He looked at the ardent female relatives of the third and ninth rooms and chuckled: "It seems that all the sisters-in-law and the wife don't know yet. The second aunt's family's surname is Xu, and she has a relationship with the fourth aunt. In the early years, when the fourth aunt got married, It was still the second wife's aunt who came to see her off."

As soon as these words were said, many female relatives changed their faces.

Speaking of which, half of the people in the hall came in the door more than Sun's family and had never had any faces with Xu. But why did this Sun family, which was already absent, have been involved in the eldest wife of the second wife?

The other house leaders were just watching the fun. The third house, the female family in the ninth house and the second wife of the clan, were not good-looking.

He was also angry, but others were fine, Qu was the wife of the Zongfang House. Even if he was separated, the affairs of the past were unjust. Just for the sake of the couple's misfortune back then, the Zongfang House is now with Xu in front of him. careful.

Fortunately, the great-grandson was decisive and immediately divided the second house. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain clearly today. He might have been misunderstood by the second house because of the greed and infringement of the property.

Yesterday, before he arrived at the clan room, Xu sent someone to hand over a visit to the prefect Jiang’s house, which was obviously clear about what happened back then.

Now Xu is respected as the wife of the minister, and condescends to visit the prefect's wife. Needless to say, it is because the prefect's wife stood up three years ago when she was presiding over Sun's funeral. Xu was waiting for Guo to get close to her in the teahouse yesterday, giving her blessings. My sister’s gifts are extremely exquisite and precious, obviously because of this.

"Gratitude" is avenged, but what about "hate"?

These rooms are not only confused by the guise of "selecting a heir" but are all fascinated by the guise of "selecting a heir", and they all sit up in daydreams. Even my stupid sister-in-law is also imagining.

But others were fine, and making jokes was not enough to make a joke. Qu still beat her up, so she was able to avoid being confused and implicated in the clan again. If she had known this, she would not have answered the request of her nephew or nephew's wife. In front of the great master, he pleaded for her and brought her back from the ancestral temple. After only a few days of returning, he started to work hard again, but he really didn't have a long memory.

After staying in the sweet soup for the guests and the sisters-in-law left, He left the family.

Qu's family was older than Sun's family. When Sun got married, she had already married into the second wife. She had met Xu, who came to Songjiang to marry. She was defeated by Xu's aura, and then complained that the businesswoman was ungrateful, so she She is the only one.

Now that I heard that Mrs. Cang was Mrs. Xu back then, Qu's confidence was a little weaker. In addition, the old case three years ago was there, I felt more and more guilty.

However, being kept by his eldest sister-in-law, Qu felt a little hope in his heart and said with surprise: "Does the great master have any instructions? My third brother and fourth brother are involved in choosing a heir?"

He snorted lightly: "I'm afraid my brother's wife is disappointed, so the great master gave me instructions, but it was Yan ordered the Zongfang to join the second family to choose his descendants..."

After hearing this, Qu frowned and said, "This Xingmijijijue is a major event in the clan. The great master is the patriarch, and he is just taking charge."

Seeing that Qu's ghost was obsessed with it, He was too lazy to say more, so he lowered his eyes: "Anyway, I'll bring you the words, my brother's wife will do it. I think you have seen it too."

Thinking of the past three years when he was imprisoned in the ancestral temple, Qu trembled all over and showed a little fear on his face.

However, seeing He's cold and indifferent appearance, he felt that he was slapped in the face. He stood up and stared at He's said, "It's really the great master's order, or is it the eldest lady who sent the order? Are you afraid that our third brother, The fourth brother took over Qiaozong and snatched the benefits of the second brother and the fifth brother. Fang used the name of the great master to fool me, a fool?

Seeing her nonsense, He laughed furiously.

So what if the second house lives well? How bad is the clan house?

Is it because the second wife is now famous, everyone has to give up their own son to others?

Thinking of the private words her husband said to her last night, He felt even more uncomfortable. No matter what others were, her son, who had been pregnant for ten months, was unwilling to adopt him.

Seeing that Qu looked like this, he obviously had a "big aspiration", He was too lazy to stop him. He followed her to make trouble. If he could "stricken disasters from the east", it would be impossible.

He Taizhi was born into a family of officials and was precocious than his children of the same age. In addition to his initial arrogance that made people dislike, he was impeccable to treating people and things.

After half a day of schooling in the clan, when it was noon, He Taizhi's "cousin" and "Brother Shi" became familiar with him. Even in front of two younger generations, Brother Xiaorong and Brother Xiao Gui, he also had a model. As expected, the servant prepared a purse to serve as a gift for the two of them, which caused Brother Xiaorong and Brother Xiao Gui to pinch their noses and call this hairy child younger than them "Cousin", which made everyone laugh.

However, what He Taizhi is most attached to is Shen Rui. The one he never forgets is the "Xingyiquan". Once he got nothing, he quietly mentioned this matter to Shen Rui. The desire to learn boxing was on his face.

This thing is not his own, and Shen Rui has no desire to cherish it, so he said, "It is not harmful to be healthy and healthy. Why does he want to learn it if he wants to."

If you have deep love but longevity, your wisdom will be hurt. He Taizhi, a nine-year-old boy, is born, and he is now looking at his body, but his hard study is still coming. Being prepared and not being a bad thing is not a bad thing.

Because he agreed with Dong Shuang to teach on the day of the 10th day, Shen Rui said again: "I made an appointment with my classmates who were with him yesterday. I will teach him the boxing skills the next day. If his cousin is cheap, he will come back with me at noon the next day.

Home."

He Taizhi was filled with joy when he heard the previous sentence, and before he could say thank you, he was stunned when he heard the next sentence.

After a while, He Taizhifang whispered: "That young lady is Rui's childhood sweetheart? Isn't it said that the atmosphere in the south is more important to ethics? Why don't Rui's cousin avoid suspicion?"

When Shen Rui heard this, his heart sank. But now he didn't talk about this place, so he took He Taizhi out of the east wing and went to Yingyuan.

It is precisely because of the strict ethics of Jiangnan that after a few doubts, Shen Ruifang still denied his thoughts, but instead believed that Dong Shuang was just a boy and a girl. Not to mention the distance, there was a teenager who looked beautiful like a girl.

Not one or two.

Unexpectedly, a nine-year-old child, He Taizhi, said so confidently.

"How did cousin He see? Dong Shuang has no ear piercings or foot binding?" Shen Rui said.

It’s not that he is ignorant of his ability to adapt and only focus on these two points. It is actually the current trend of foot binding, which is still all over the country. It is a bit decent and there are no ones who don’t bind their daughter’s feet. Otherwise, it will be difficult for a big foot to kiss in the future.

Although the Dong Shuang family is not rich, it is a relative of the Shen family's legitimate family. There is a juren who can afford to study and apply to study children, and is also a scholarly family.

"Who said she didn't bind her feet? If she had Tianzu, how could she walk slowly like an old woman? She put on shoes outside the shoes and stuffed soft cloth in the middle, so she couldn't tell. The walking posture is different from Tianzu.

As for the ear piercings, some of them wear when they land, and some of them are reluctant to wait and wear in front of the hairpin. Where can we distinguish between men and women?" He Taizhi was stunned by the voice of the Shen family's children, and he was honest all morning, but he saw that there were some people who didn't know.

The place was proudly said.

Seeing that his tail was raised, Shen Rui really wanted to ask, "Where does this debater experience come from?" But seeing that he had been bored for a whole morning, he finally smiled and was unwilling to let go. After thinking about it carefully, Dong Shuang was still walking.

It's so slow that it's outrageous, with strange and ordinary people.

Dong Shuang's family has three, with a widowed mother and a sick girl. Since Dong Shuang is a daughter, the one who is caring for the family is considered to be his brother.

Dong Shuang went to study across the county and took detailed class notes, which seemed to have an explanation. However, if the Dong family's sick man didn't have the energy to attend classes, he would not be able to go to the imperial examination in the future. Why should he arrange this?

You should know that if the matter is leaked, with the Jiangnan style, Dong Shuang will never find a good marriage in his life.

Thinking of this, Shen Rui showed a serious expression: "Cousin He, it is related to the reputation of a woman. I would like to ask Cousin He to do this matter only."

Several sisters in He Taizhi's family knew that their daughter's reputation was crucial, so they nodded quickly and reminded again: "Although what they promised is not easy to regret, Cousin Rui has to think of a thorough solution, don't take it.
