The next day, Chen and his party left the inn early and entered the capital at noon. Because the old house of Zongfang and Shangshu Mansion were not in the same yard, Chen and Li Shi separated after entering Beijing.

Today, the yamen opened seals, and Chen Cang had already gone to the yamen of the Ministry of Justice. After Li Shi returned to his house, he didn't care about going to rest. After a little washing, he came to the room to see Xu's reply.

Hearing that Chen had gone to the empty old house of the zongfang and asked Li Shi to bring a visit to him. Xu was silent for a long time, and sighed: "It seems that the zongfang is really resentful. When you just went there before the New Year, , what are the reactions

The housekeeper replied: "The clan elder and the clan leader are both sick, and the clan master and the young master are sick... The clan leader and the wife are not seen. The clan elder and the clan master have met twice, and he is really sad, and there are many words of regret in his words. The young master also went to the old slave to ask, but only the Ji Young Master was polite and didn't say anything. The clan leader sent the young master to Beijing, but Ji Young Master stopped him, but he just didn't stop him..."

Although she knew that Zong Fang had resentment towards her, she could compassionately even if she was in favor of her. Although she had no biological flesh and blood in her life, she was a jealous person who was jealous of evil and looked down on the style that was the most despised by Shen Jie, which was less humane for the sake of profit.

Xu snorted coldly: "The superior cannot be polite to his parents, and the subordinate cannot care for his brothers and feet. The son's family was raised in vain... The late grandfather and the current master are both loyal and honest, so why did he raise such a son? ?So selfish, it doesn’t look like the Shen family, but it’s considered to be with the He family…”

In the past two days, Xu was already upset about the second master's letter. Now that he heard the insulting style, he was a little angry and couldn't help but speak ill.

Although the He family had a friendship with the Shen family in the capital, and the Minister of He and Chen Cang are now officials, because the eldest wife of Zongfang and the He family had occupied Sun's dowry, Xu really had no regard for the He family. Good impression.

Now that I learned that my own flesh and blood had been in trouble, the eldest wife of the Zongfang was not able to deal with anything except illness, she was not as good as the eldest brother of the Zongfang, who was willing to come forward to open her eyes for her son.

The butler looked at the nose with his eyes, his nose with his mouth, and his mouth with his heart, and he only did not hear it.

Xu said again: "You think about it. Is the Zongfang really going to let Brother Jue return to the Zong, or to use this name to ask for an explanation? What kind of person is Chen? Will he change his mind?"

The butler shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't. Along the way, the old slave criticized and persuaded him a lot, but the young master had a right idea. With his father's order on top, I'm afraid the young master will insist..."

Xu didn't say anything anymore. Seeing that the butler was exhausted, thinking that he was old, he ordered Hongyun: "Send your grandfather down..."

The maid Hongyun next to Xu's side is the granddaughter of the butler Li Shi.

Hongyun responded, and Li Shi also respectfully retreated, and his grandparents and grandchildren went out.

After leaving the room, Li Shi felt bitter and his body was a little hunched. He has always been proud of the Shangshu Mansion and is most loyal, but he really does not want to see the Shangshu Mansion have a flaw. But since the master and wife are the leader, he There is no room for opposition. I just complained in my heart that the master of the sect is too willful. Could anyone do anything to harm the third young master? They are my biological parents, and they will be sad and sad. The elders here are the hearts of stones? When the third young master was pushed out to be his heir, he couldn't bear to see anyone but he was deeply in love with each other.

Hongyun was beside him, and saw that his grandfather was unhappy and said with concern: "You have also had spring and autumn. You have worked so hard for this trip. Are you asking the master and wife for a break and have a good time to take a break?"

Li Shi shook his head and said, "Where is it? It's just a long trip. Don't underestimate your grandfather. I'm not old yet... There are so many things happening in the mansion recently. You can serve your wife very well. I saw that her wife's face turned yellow.

, the heart fire is also strong, which is not a good sign."

"Don't worry, grandfather, the master had sent someone to invite the doctor to come yesterday and prescribed a prescription for relieving liver and regulating qi for his wife. Today, he has started to take it..." Hongyun said.

Li Shi nodded and said, "It's good that this is the best. It's really not easy for the wife to work hard all her life. Even if we are servants, we should respect and love them..."

Hongyun said, "Why do you need your old man to give me the instructions? The granddaughter is raised by my wife, and the wife is kind to her granddaughter. It's not that the granddaughter praises herself, but who can surpass her granddaughter's loyalty in this yard?"

Li Shi smiled with relief and didn't say anything. His granddaughter was indeed loyal to his wife. Even if his grandfather wanted to ask about the matter of the main house, Hongyun could still say it, but he couldn't say it.

Shell mouth. This girl has been working with her wife since she was keeping her head. Over the past ten years, Hongyun has been even more timid to her wife than to her own parents.

Li Shi himself is a loyal servant, so he is happy to see his granddaughter like this, and said: "Although the wife doesn't like to say good things to coax people, she is the most successful person in her heart. If you are so loyal, you will definitely have a good future..."

Hongyun immediately blushed and said, "What kind of future is not going forward? Granddaughter doesn't want to leave his wife... Grandfather, go home quickly..."

When Hongyun came back after sending her grandfather, she saw Hongyan coming out of the upper room.

"Where is this?" Hongyun said.

"Mrs. asked me to invite my second brother..." Hongyan replied.

Hongyan left by himself, Hongyun picked up the curtain and entered the room.

Seeing Xu's expression unhappy, Hongyun poured a glass of honey water and sent it to him, and advised: "Although the third brother is Bensheng's house over there, the third brother is now the son here. If the master and the wife don't nod, they can still be able to do so.

Can't it be done?"

Xu shook his head and said, "Brother Jue is a good child. Instead of being alone in Beijing, it is also a good thing to go back to reunite with his bones and flesh..."

Hongyun hesitated: "What if outsiders talk about it?"

Xu is the head of the Shangshu Mansion, and he must blame her for not knowing it. But Hongyun knew that in the past two years, his wife was always taking care of the master's body and had already lifted up the family affairs, even though Shen Jue did

It was because of negligence from the servants and the elders were not careful and they died of illness, but they did not blame the wife.

Xu smiled bitterly and said, "Are I right? No matter what others do, I am really neglecting Brother Jue... Even if I ask a few more questions, the servants dare not fool like this."

As he was talking, Shen Rui came.

"Mother." Shen Rui greeted him.

Xu sat on the couch by the window, pointed to the chair in front of him, asked Shen Rui to sit down, and said, "The patriarch sent Shen Shangjing to take Shen Jue's remains back... Now that the butler is back, Shen Yi has arrived and gone.

The old house of the zong house was placed. The master's yamen had just opened the seal. After a few days of rest, Shen's prayer post arrived. It was not good to let him wait for a long time. You can go there first tomorrow, and you must not lose your etiquette.

”

Shen Rui was stunned when he heard this, and said for a while: "No... he should be buried in peace? Even if he can't bear to give up, why should he do this for a while?"

Xu said: "I heard that it was the leader of the clan leader, and Shen Shi Zun's father ordered him to go to the capital..."

"What did you think when you were alive? Now you are 'I can't bear to give up,'" Shen Rui was not complaining about the patriarch, but he didn't have a good impression of Chen. When he remembered the incident of returning to Songjiang last summer, he felt so upset that he gritted his teeth.

Xu sighed and said, "There is this kind of people. I don't know how to cherish them in front of me until I can't see them. I regret it. There is no medicine for regret in this world, so I can only torture myself. When the butler returned to Beijing, he sent someone. I sent the letter back and told the story of Zong Fang's attempt to move Brother Jue's remains to his hometown. The master and I mean that Zong Fang would not stop him if he insisted. But this was against the world and could easily cause criticism. I can't say that our family will have a reputation damaged, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Shen Rui saw that the scenes in front of him were all the situations during his lifetime. He whispered: "My son doesn't want to stop him. He doesn't say anything else, he just said that he could be buried next to the great master when he goes back. Brother Jue will know him in the spring. willing."

Chen Jue is different from him. Shen Rui has changed his soul inside. In addition, the elders of the fourth room are unkind and have never felt a sense of belonging to the fourth room. Only after entering Beijing can he regard the Shangshu Mansion as his own home. Even if Chen Jue is not treated by his biological mother But my grandfather raised me, my father was spoiled and my deep affection was deep. Even after coming out in the past few years, I still missed when I went back to visit my relatives. Even after several years in my second house, I still seemed like a "customer residence".

As expected, Xu nodded with relief and said, "Then there is nothing else. Tomorrow, you will go to visit Chen and say what you mean by this... He saved his heart from being uneasy, and he was rushing around, causing uneasy to his relatives and clan members... ”

Although the second wife is still in the mansion, neither the heir nor the son mentioned her coming.

When Shen Rui returned to Jiuruju, he wrote a post and sent Changfu to the old house of Zongfang.

As Xu expected, he sank to the old house of the clan, finished washing up, sat in the cross-yard hall, and began to think about the relatives in the capital.

Although he was in front of the Shangshu Mansion's house, he said that he had two filial piety and was not easy to visit directly, and he was in trouble with his elders, but as a grandchild, he only had to serve the patriarch and the grandfather for a period of time. After a hundred days of heat After filial piety, he was already wearing plain clothes. As for Chen Jue, he was not obedient to the lowliness. Even brothers of the same generation could be convinced or not.

If there are elders' families, they really need to avoid more taboos. After all, the first month of the year has not yet appeared, so the peers will be fine.

When I officially went to the Shangshu Mansion, should I go to see Chen Li and Chen Ying first?

Shen was thinking about this while eating tea, when he saw a servant bringing a greeting letter in.

Chen was a little surprised and took it to see it, and his face was filled with anger.

Shen Rui comes tomorrow, what will he do? After receiving the news from Li Shi, he is unwilling to let Brother Jue return to the clan and come to persuade him?

Shen Rui was a young man, and Chen thought he was a scheming person. Two brothers of the clan went to Beijing, one was the son of the Shangshu Mansion who could be half a family, and the other was the one who was living under someone else's roof. What's ridiculous is that for three years, the clan house has actually been involved in this. Know nothing.

Listening to Li Shi's words, Chen Jue is a bit slow in life and still doesn't know how much hardship it will take. It's a pity that Brother Jue is a honest child. Even so, he never said that when he returned to Songjiang, he was not right.
