Chapter 320 The Darkness of the Golden Needle (5)
"Brothers of the Six Clans are so easy to talk to." Chen Jue has been concerned about the "fake book". Seeing Shen Rui coming back from Chen Li's house, he hurried over to inquire. He heard that Chen Li was unintentionally pursuing the matter, and he felt a little angry.
Shen Rui glanced at him: "Then what do you think should be dealt with by Chen Yan?"
"Even if you don't take away your fame, you have to scold him to scold him now. Now he is a juren. Where can you live in a difficult situation? He is a gunman with others regardless of his identity and sells his articles for money. This kind of character is indeed awesome. Despicable," Chen Jue snorted lightly.
Shen Rui sighed: "You were born in wealth and were not short of money since childhood. I haven't heard of this saying, "Is this the saying that I bowed for five dou of rice? No matter what the Chen Yan family was in the past, they were already in Songjiang and had no family. He lived with the Shen clan. Later, even though he was a Juren, he did not return to his hometown and lived outside, so his quality was reduced by half. If he was rich, he would not still work as a part-time teacher in Nancheng Academy."
Chen Jue rolled his eyes: "Look at what my second brother said, it seems like my second brother is having a hard time..."
Shen Rui smiled slightly. Although his life was not difficult, he had seen many poor students in school in his previous life. They studied harder, worked harder part-time, and were more sensitive and strong in dealing with people. Shen had the shadow of those students, but he He was calm and composed, and did not complain about his embarrassment because of his embarrassment. The reason why Shen Rui had a good impression of Chen when he was in Songjiang was also because of his peace and calmness.
Chen Jue continued: "There are poor people who have never been poor, and the rich people who have never been rich. This is not the world's poor families, so it's better to be a down-to-earth person. Look at their brothers dressed in old clothes, even if they were old clothes, they were of high quality materials. The fashionable style is no worse than ours. I heard from Changshou that they are now renting two yards into the yard, and their families are also calling slaves and servants. Why is this a hard time? Do you work part-time in the academy as a master and a gunman, Just to have food, clothing and enjoyment? If someone else is at this age and fame, isn’t it time to concentrate on studying and go further? Which one is more important?”
"Who is willing to endure hardship if you can live a good life... Besides, their ancestors were not extremely poor. They looked rich in their early years, and it was normal to live a poor life..." Shen Rui said.
Chen Jue frowned and looked at Shen Rui in confusion: "Why is the second brother saying good things for Chen Yan? This... isn't it really planning to get along with him, right?"
Shen Rui shook his head and said, "I am not talking to him, I hope Brother Jue can be more thorough in dealing with people. He has different positions and different preferences. It is better to seek common ground while reserving differences in other people's affairs. After the examination, you must have new classmates. Among them, there are different families and different personalities. Can you still be picky about them?"
Chen Jue sneered twice, and said with uncertainty: "Second brother thinks I can really pass the hospital examination?"
"You stay up from morning to night every day, just for the hospital examination? Why don't you have any confidence?" Shen Rui said.
Speaking of which, Chen Jue has taken too many advantages compared to other candidates. Who told him to have a second brother of "academic master" and also learned the "summary and sorting" of "summary and summarize" this set of ordinary future generations, but now it is amazing. Exam magic weapon.
Chen Jue also thought of this and immediately pushed his chest up and said, "What the second brother said is that guy Chen can pass the college entrance examination. If I don't make any sense, I can't pass..."
Although Shen Rui cheered Chen Jue up on his face, he was not sure. He started learning Shiwen since he was twelve years old. In order to answer the boy's test, he had written thousands of Shiwen in two years and read various types of Shiwen. Hundreds of collections.
In the final analysis, whether it is the current writing or the policy, it is all the format composition. The awkward writing before is because I was not used to writing in the new learning. When I practice it, the artistic conception will be much smoother. In addition, I will understand the style of writing that the examiner likes, or It is magnificent, or righteous, or literary and elegant, and it is not difficult to pass the line.
Although Chen Jue has been learning to write time and writing about the same time as him, he has been studying casually before and has only been working hard for a few months. Even though Shen Rui has taught him all his learning experience, Chen Jue's articles have become spiritual. It is still a lot different from integrating the word and sentences, and it is always a bit stiff. This is also impossible. After all, it takes a process of accumulation to be able to capture this format of articles.
But now Chen Jue is devoted to seeking fame and fortune, and he is forgetting to eat and sleep, and Shen Rui can't say these disappointing words...
The last time Shen Rui "invited" Chen Yan to have tea was ten days after meeting Chen Yan. When Chen Yan sent someone to deliver a post to the Shangshu Mansion, another ten days passed.
This matter is related to the future of the Chen Yan brothers, even if they are anxious, they are still brothers. Sooner or later, Shen Rui doesn't care.
But he felt that Chen Yan was a person who could wink when he knew the practice. He delayed for so long, and the purpose should not be to stretch one like Shen Rui, but to make a difficult choice.
Before going to the appointment, Shen Rui was also a little curious. Did Chen Yan really make a choice?
It is still the teahouse at Chaoyangmen, and it is also the private room next to the window last time.
But today there are no two little tails of Chen and Chen Jue. Chen didn't know about this date at all, and Chen Jue was busy preparing for the hospital examination and didn't care about anything.
By the time Shen Rui arrived, Chen Yan was already there.
His expression became less peaceful and more solemn, and he said, "Hengyun is here."
It is still the same name, but the heat in the breath is gone, leaving only solemnity.
"Mr. Chen." Shen Rui's heart moved, and his expression was also serious.
When he sat down, Shen Rui found that there were not only tea sets on the tea table, but there was a yellow rosewood box about one foot long, seven or eight inches wide, two or three inches tall next to Chen Yan's right hand.
Shen Rui's expression remained unmoved, but he was surprised.
Although he proposed to "exchange" last time, he was more about exploring a possibility. He wanted to settle the grudge between the Chen Yan brothers and the second family branch, but he did not think that it would succeed. After all, here is In the Ming Dynasty, the clan concept was different from that in later generations. In the eyes of the world, the family was the fundamental. A tree could not survive without roots, and a person would not be at ease without roots.
Chen Yan showed a little decisive look on his face and said, "If Hengyun's words, I've been thinking about it for a long time. I shouldn't have been so shameless about asking the Shangshu Mansion for protection... As Heng's property, we brothers have a small body and a slim body, and we don't know where to do it. The Shangshu Mansion serves. Apart from this awkward identity, we brothers have no other place to protect us. If we speak out and speak out loudly at Hengyun, and say how we brothers will give us the Shangshu Mansion in the future. , That would make people laugh... In this world, there are so many scholars who have been wasted their time and have no hope of fame. Even though we brothers successfully passed the provincial examination and college examination before, no one can tell what they will be like in the future... After thinking about it, it seems that The only thing I can get is this..." As he said that, he pushed the Huanghuali wooden box at hand to Shen Rui.
Shen Rui had a guess in his heart, but he was puzzled: "Is this?"
Chen Yan sighed and said, "This is the identity proof of the ancestor of the family..."
Shen Rui opened the wooden box with hesitation and saw several yellowed cotton paper inside. One of them was written with the divorce letter of the year, month and day, a birth document with the midwife sealed her handprint, and one marked her birth. The naturalization document of time is a document signed by several seniors of the Shen family and clan members.
Not bad, Shen Rui felt a little worried when he saw one of the familiar names.
These things were quite effective more than 60 years ago, otherwise the second house sect would not have to support Shaw Brothers to sue and fight for the industry; but more than 60 years later, the documents were The witnesses have long passed away, and the effectiveness of these things is minimal. The only function is not to make the Shaw Family Branch qualified to "return to the clan", but to make his descendants sure that their identity is a child of the Shen family.
This was indeed what Shen Rui wanted at first.
In the final analysis, the identity of the Chen Yan brother is a landmine. More and more people know about it. If it is revealed, it will not affect the status of the legitimate branch. Even if he and Chen Jue are heirs and are not descendants of the second house, they are already etiquette and law. The legitimate branch is orthodox, which cannot be shaken by the Chen Yan brothers even if they return to the clan.
However, the incident that year was a scandal of the Second House, which was revealed to be criticized. Even the deceased third master must be brought out to speak out.
When the incident happened in Songjiang, the main story happened in Songjiang. Even if the third master made a fierce move, it was known to the clan members and not known to others. Even so, the clan was dissatisfied with the third master's fierce measures.
Scholars follow the "way of a gentleman". It is normal for a gentleman to forgive others and be lenient, but it is not the only way to "repay grievances with righteousness"
If you want to tell the story of the great-grandfather's separation, it is too far from Shen Rui and Shangshu's Mansion. The third great-grandfather is Chen Cang's father and Shen Rui's grandfather. It really makes people criticize. Not to mention that the deceased is uneasy, even the living person will suffer. Influence, having a wife in the family is not a glorious thing.
The Shaw Brothers lineage has been making trouble three times when seeking "return to the clan", and Shen Ruishi doesn't want to happen again for the fourth time. Even with the attitude of Chen Cang and his wife, they will make trouble in vain, but this old thing has been revealed again and again. It's also annoying to open.
The method of "cutting off the firewood from the cauldron" is to get rid of the "reliance" of their self-conceived as the legitimate descendants of the second wife.
Until he returned to the Shangshu Mansion and went to the main courtyard with the Huanghuali wooden box, Shen Rui still felt uneasy.
Chen Yan's ability to be practical is indeed worry-free, but his courage is also shocking.
The thoughts of the father and grandfather, they said they would give up. With such decisiveness and courage, what can they do in the future? It is said that great achievers have great perseverance, which looks like it.
When he arrived at the main courtyard, Xu was shocked to death when he saw these things.
Shen Rui thought about the name he saw in the document just now and said in confusion: "Mother, the great-uncle of the fourth wife participated in the incident that year and supported Shaw's son against his grandfather. How could his grandfather agree to promise my mother to the fourth wife? house…
The great-grandfather of the fourth house is also a strange figure. As the owner of the legitimate branch, he inherited a million-dollar property and a hundred acres of fertile land, but he was a bad gambling man. He lost his family's fortune. If he hadn't died early, he would have no choice but to take the next step. It's just selling your wife and children.
As the cousin of the great-grandfather of the second wife, the cousin of the third wife, testified that although the son of Shaw fell to the ground after returning home, he was pregnant when he was in the Shen family. It was so shameless, but considering that he bet It is not surprising that he is willing to testify for Shaw Brothers when he sees money.
