In the inner courtyard, the master and the eldest wife did not sleep and were also mentioning the matter of the heir.

"The third brother refused to choose a heir no matter what he said..." The eldest master said: "What he meant was to let Brother Rui and the Grand House and the Three Houses."

"The third brother and sister told me privately that the couple said they didn't care about it... They didn't care about it, most of them were worried about the trouble of choosing another heir. After all, the eldest house and the three houses have never separated..." Xu

Mrs. Sighed.

Xu and the master are not concerned about money. Even if they really split up with the third master in the future, they will not be wronged by the third master. However, if Shen Rui only inherited the third wife, the industry under Xu's name would not be distributed to the third one.

The truth about the house will still be completely passed on to Shen Rui.

The reason why the third master and the third wife Bai Huan was clearly a happy one after seeing Shen Rui's qualifications still decided to leave Shen Rui in the long house. In addition to thinking that Shen Rui's character is stable and able to support the door, there is also

Avoid future property disputes.

If the eldest son adopted the other person as his heir, Shen Rui would join the third son. Even if Xu talked about the origin of those industries, money would touch people's hearts. Who knows whether the eldest son would leave a knot in his heart? Rather than worrying about this, worrying

That, because money ruined the relationship between the flesh and blood, it would be better for Shen Rui to stay in the eldest house and inherit the Xu family's property legitimately. There is also the third master and the third wife who thought of Shen Ruixi, who studied and joined the grand master's name, and

Its future will also be helpful.

"I will write a letter to the patriarch and the great master after two days. There should be no objection to the patriarch and the great master in the patriarch and the great master in the patriarch and the great master in the patriarch and the great master in the patriarch and the great master in the patriarch will be in trouble, but Brother Rui is afraid there will be more trouble..." said the master.

Xu was not surprised by the second master's choice. As long as the second master knew Shen Rui's identity and felt guilty about the Sun family, he would not choose an heir who was older than Brother Rui: "There are still some troubles left in the second brother. Listen to her.

Today, I am not afraid of choosing a heir, but I am anxious to hold his heir... She hates Brother Zhu very much, but she asks Brother Quan..."

The master said: "The nephews of the fifth house are well-educated. There is nothing wrong with Brother Quan, but people's hearts are easy to change. Because they are close to Brother Rui, it is difficult to get together as cousins... Everyone has it.

Selfish, even if the younger brothers and sisters in the fifth house are grateful and pity Brother Rui, they will never love their parents and children..."

As Xu expected, the second wife, Qiao, really chose Shen Quan among the Shen family's sons.

Although she had bad impressions of Shen Quan and Shen Zhu when she first met, as Shen Quan left with her two brothers, the second wife transferred all the disgust to Shen Zhu. This is how it is.

I can’t stand others thinking about my own things. The more someone wants, the less I want to give them. Instead, I want to give them to them. If I have no interest in my own things, I want to give them to them willingly.

The most important thing is that among the nephews of the Shen family who came to Beijing, Shen Quan was the oldest, and was already eighteen years old, and was able to marry and have children to support his family.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the second wife tested the eldest wife. She didn't care much about Shen Quan when she heard what she meant, but she was still a little worried, afraid that the eldest master would choose Shen Quan for the sake of inheritance of his offspring as he thought.

After returning to the second house, the second wife mentioned this matter to her husband: "Master, tomorrow the clan and several nephews of the fifth house will come to pay New Year's greetings... Brother Quan of the fifth house, what do you think of the master?"

The second master glanced at the second wife and said, "He is a steady child, but he has mediocre qualifications in his studies."

When the second wife heard this, she was a little hesitant.

It is true that inheriting bloodlines is a major event, but the Shen family is a family of officials, and the heirs of the second wife cannot do anything mediocre.

"Is the provincial examination difficult?" asked the second wife.

Even if your academic qualifications are mediocre, if you can pass the provincial examination, you can still donate to become an official, but it is not as good as the future of the official career.

The second master said: "If you have good luck, you will be able to pass the imperial examination if you have two or three subjects. If you have bad luck, you will not be able to maintain it."

The second wife calculated the age of the couple. Even if Chen Quan entered the second wife, she would marry her after she had sex, and she would have to be extended for another year for a child. By the time her husband reached sixty years old, her grandson would be in his teens. Not undesirable.

The second master said, "Sister-in-law said that the fifth wife lived a good life. The clan brothers and sisters had no intention of adopting a parent-child. Why did you mention Brother Quan again?"

"The more you are so kind of ruled, the more worry-free the children will be. The two brothers from the five-bedroom house are good, and their family is not bad, so they will not think about using their brothers to take advantage of the second house. They really need small families. ,There are a series of poor relatives waiting to fight Qiufeng, and there will be endless lawsuits in the future." The second wife said softly: "After all, we have adopted Brother Quan, and we can not take care of his two brothers more, and we are also in the fifth house. Good thing

The second master shook his head and said, "This adoption is a two-dimensional matter. I don't know that others are unwilling to take away their flesh and blood... I told my elder brother that our family is the one who chooses the sect house..."

"Ah?" The second wife said in surprise: "How could the master choose Brother Jue? If I remember correctly, he is the youngest among the nephews who come to Beijing..." Speaking of this, thinking about Chen Lin, Chen Qin, Chen Bao San, none of them fell in love with each other, Chen Zhu was disgusted from the bottom of his heart, and said, "Even the fourth room, Brother Rui, is older than Brother Jue. There is a patriarch behind Brother Jue, but he is not as trouble-free as the fourth room."

The second master glanced at his wife: "Brother Jue and Brother Rui were in the same year and month, but it was only one day late. It was thirteen, so it was not small."

The second wife said unexpectedly: "I didn't see it. Seeing that Brother Rui was half a head taller than him, I thought he would be half a year older."

The sacrifice to Mr. Sun was originally scheduled to be arranged before the Lantern Festival, but after several masters discussed it, they thought that the days would be postponed. After Shen Rui officially entered the second room, he would go with the master and the eldest wife to worship Mr. Sun. This made the second wife know Shen Rui's identity and she had to create trouble.

Everyone will not change their minds because of her trouble. It’s just that family harmony is prosperous, and there will be less things if you can.

"I have all taken the exam for several nephews. Brother Jue is smart and has talent in studying. Even if he can't compare with Brother Luo, he doesn't have to worry about his career in the future... He is a sect's bones and blood, and it's not all bad... Without the word "Shen", my elder brother and I are both old. From now on, Brother Jue will always have a good thing to help with his brother Bensheng..." said the second master.

"It's just that I'm too young." The second wife was still a little dissatisfied.

The second master said, "He entered the second house and was filial piety at the end of the year. After taking the boy exam the next year, he could discuss his relatives, but only two or three years."

Although the second wife was a little reluctant, she saw that her husband had made the decision and was not talking too much. However, when she thought of the remaining Shen family, she realized it, "Since the master went to tell my elder brother that Shen Zhu was not good, Brother Quan's family was also I can't bear to leave it. Brother Jue has returned to our room. Who would have chosen Brother Rui from the fourth room?"

The three brothers had already booked a second-family heir in the study after the New Year's Eve dinner last night, and they discussed it. After the fifteenth yamen, the second master took leave and returned to his hometown to handle the heir. Therefore, the second wife had nothing to hide here. , then nodded and said, "It's Brother Rui, the eldest brother and sister-in-law love him to be steady."

The second wife listened to her husband's words and said that the elder was chosen first by the eldest wife. She felt a little uncomfortable. She also felt that Shen Rui looked more steady than Chen Jue, but she said with a strong voice: "Why didn't I see that Brother Rui is good? Come? Look at it, like a little adult, where is Brother Jue smart and sensible?"

The second master said: "Brother and sister-in-law are not people who love fun, and Brother Rui's temperament is also destined to be with them..."

The second wife didn't know that the third master invited Chen Qin and Chen Bao stayed in Beijing. She yawned and said, "No need to say that the third uncle has chosen Brother Bao, but he looks like a festive child..." After that, I was already vague and half asleep.

The second master did not answer his wife's words, and lay there, with his eyes open, his mind getting clearer and clearer.

After the Lantern Festival, he returned to Songjiang not only for the sake of his heirs, but also for the sake of his sons.

This year is the year of Beijing Inspection. With the great master's political achievements in recent years, he will definitely be promoted, but he may not be able to stay in the Ministry of Revenue. However, no matter which department he goes, he will be the chief seal officer. The higher the position, the more dangerous it is.

Although the politics of the emperor is still clear and peaceful, he is in his prime and he doesn't need to worry about the future. However, the officials in Beijing are well-informed, and no one knows that the emperor's health is not good, and how long can he live, but who is it Not sure.

Whenever the court changes new and old, there will be major changes in the capital. If the capital with a low grade is not afraid, it is just a waste of time. The higher the grade, the more dangerous it is.

The master was cautious in his actions and was always neutral in the court, and rarely involved in the party and government. However, in the position of Minister of the Secretariat, several cabinet masters allowed him to be neutral and became the chief minister. It was not easy to continue to be neutral.

If it were an official from another place, he would have found a son to retire and return home when he encountered a storm in the court. The second wife of the Shen family moved to the capital in his early years and became a naturalized person in the capital. He arranged for him to return to Songjiang to re-built the sacrificial fields, which was also left for the second wife to avoid the turmoil of the court. The way out...

In the living yard, Shen Rui still sat opposite Chen Zhu.

Chen Zhu is still quite excited, but under his various "simple teachings", Shen Rui, who was not sleepy, became sleepy and yawned constantly

Shen Rui is not the one who wronged him. He took advantage of Chen Zhu's tea to moisten his throat. After rubbing his eyes, he couldn't stand it and said, "Brother Zhu Jiu, I can't stand it. I have to turn it around first. Today, I'm big. I have to get up early on the first day of the Chinese New Year.”

Although Chen Zhu still hadn't finished his feelings, he could only say, "It's too late, it's time to rest... I won't bother and squeeze in for one night with Brother Rui."

Such a familiarity made Shen Rui speechless, but he couldn't speak out to chase people when he was in the middle of the night.

Seeing that Chen Zhu was about to sleep with him, Shen Rui hurriedly said, "Brother Zhu Jiu is free, I don't want to sleep with others."

There was only one quilt here, and Shen Rui didn't have the habit of having a quilt with others. Even Chen Jue came to squeeze him before, and he also brought another quilt over.

Chen Zhu was a little unhappy when she heard Shen Rui's words, but Shen Rui yawned, covered the bed, pulled the quilt, and closed his eyes.

Chen Zhu looked at Shen Rui for a while, but couldn't hold her face down and squeezed forward. Fortunately, most of the houses in Beijing were fire kangs and could sleep in other places, but there was no curtain or bedding.

Chen Zhu had to pull her cloak and covered her body, but she felt that she was too hard under her body. The only wool felt on the kang was not soft enough, and she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He had been to Shen Rui before, and he knew that the bedroom in the west room was sunny. Jue's residence is covered with bedding.

After hesitating for a while, Chen Zhu still got up, pulled his shoes, held the lights and went to the west room.

Behind him, Shen Rui opened his eyes and couldn't help but frown.

Although the west room is also a guest room, after all, I had been staying in Chen Jue before. Now Chen Jue is not here, Chen Zhu is just so rude. Chen Jue has always been obsessed with cleanliness and knows that Chen Zhu is sleeping with his bedding. Must be annoyed.
