The most recent auspicious day for worship is five days later, and it is the festival in recent years.

Although the second year of Zhengde is a rare leap month, there is no reason for the New Year to pass twice. Zhengdan is still the first day of the first lunar month. Because it was late twelfth lunar month when it arrived in Songjiang, Shen Rui was going to stay in Songjiang for the New Year, so when did he stay in Songjiang for the New Year, so when did he stay in Songjiang? Worship is not a problem.

However, on the second day, Chen Jin visited the fifth room. In addition to visiting Guo and bringing the date of worship, he also brought a big and small trouble.

It also revealed the cause of Zhang Lao'an's death for the fifth house and Shen Rui.

Although Chen Yuan was locked in the ancestral hall for more than a year, he looked much more honest with memorizing the ancestral teachings, but in the end, the country was easy to change and his nature was hard to change. When he went out, he met his royal relatives and became a close relative. He was very popular. When he curled up for his favor, he immediately became arrogant.

Chen Yuan was originally a lustful person. He was invited to have fun outside and drink when he returned home. He was also a Hu Tian Hu Tian.

Originally, after Chen Yuan was locked up, Xiao He made efforts to clean up his home. But now she has to go north to take over the marriage of the top scholar, so she naturally has to take away all the capable people, and the family will inevitably lose its constraints.

Some of the flattering people looked at the absence of the fourth house's mistress, and even sent the young and beautiful girl to please Chen Yuan. After a while, the fourth house was in chaos again.

Under such a trend, many maids and wives have had bad intentions, especially those who hope to change their destiny by climbing into the bed, such as those who serve Zhang Lao'an.

Mr. Zhang had never had a good temper, and all kinds of inconvenience after a stroke made him even more angry. It was common for him to beat and scold maids and mothers.

Although Xiao He has tried his best to take care of ordinary people, honest and honest people, people always have selfish intentions. Even the most honest people are troubled by this day and day, they will be full of resentment and try every means to find a way out.

Among them is a maid named Chunhua. She listened to the mansion in her left ear and heard the benefits of someone who is in love with the master. She listened to Zhang Lao'an beaten and scolded him in her right ear. She turned her heart and took advantage of the Shenyuan to come. When I visited my mother, I served diligently and finally climbed onto Chenyuan's bed.

But she looks very ordinary, even though she is good-looking, she is willing to be a low-key person and let Shen Yuan fiddle with her, but she has not successfully transferred to the post.

But after all, she was already a "master's person". She was a little different and was fully focused on transferring her away, so she couldn't help but neglect her to Zhang Lao'an.

I don't know if Zhang Lao'an heard some gossip, but when Chunhua was on duty, he got angry with her and doubled his temper. Chunhua should talk back and hide when he started. This is not once or twice. .

On September 19th, Chunhua was on duty. As soon as the source of the sun passed, the two of them pulled and pulled, so they went to the east wing to achieve good things.

The servants hid far away, so Zhang Lao'an was scolding the street and smashing bowls, but no one dared to come and see.

After the two of them were put on their clothes in the east wing, the capital of Zhang Lao'an's body was cold.

If an ordinary family encounters such a thing, the servants involved will be controlled. Not to mention cutting their tongues, they will basically block their mouths and beat them far away, and Chunhua may be even more likely to be Kill the stick and report to the "death of the Lord".

Although Chen Yuan is not good at managing the family, he is not a fool. He can't even think about living if such unfilial things are spread. The servants around him have cleaned up, but Chunhua is not easy to deal with. It's not that he can't help but be so tempted. He was fascinated by the way, but Chunhua was pregnant.

Chen Yuan has always had many women, but only Chen Jin and Shen Rui. After being dissatisfied with his two sons, he often thought about giving birth to another one, but no matter how hard he tried, it was useless.

At this moment, he suddenly heard that he was going to have a son again. How could he not be overjoyed? Even if he approached middle age, he could make a woman's belly bigger. It was also a sign of fierceness. He couldn't help but feel proud and became fluttering. How about this son, I want to keep it.

Chunhua said he was "locked up". When his wife came back, she was in a small yard to raise her baby.

When his wife, Xiao He, came back, could not take action in the face of such a situation.

Grandpa He Jiu came to the fourth room and heard that Chen Jin came back and specifically talked about this.

"It's not that I can't tolerate my little brother." In the study in the five rooms, Chen Jin was exhausted. He was a young talent, but he already had the old expression of a middle-aged man who had experienced vicissitudes.

He smiled bitterly and said, "What is my origin? It's all up to my mother tolerate me and my careful education. I can't tolerate my little brothers. But, this time, it's really bad, and it's easy to be called filial piety. If you have any, that is a serious sin and your family’s reputation will be gone.”

The three Chen Ying brothers and Shen Rui all looked solemn.

If you are really accused of being pregnant with Zhongxing's filial piety, it would be a huge unfilial piety. This would not be Chen Yuan's own business. The entire Shen clan will become a laughing stock, and this will become a political enemy in the officialdom in the future. The first thing to criticize the Shen brothers.

Shen Rui even remembered what Zhang Hui said at the beginning that his uncle's family affairs were framed by his clan relatives to be accused of his son and his concubine. Now Chen Yuan has not had a son for many years and is old. If someone is purely slandered, he will put this child on Shen Jin's head... ...That's really unpredictable.

"But please ask the doctor to come and confirm the diagnosis? How long has this maid been pregnant?" Shen Ruixian asked.

"When my grandmother went, this maid shouted that she was pregnant, and she still said that she was asking for life and said nothing. However, the master secretly asked the doctor to take the pulse. The doctor said that he was pregnant, but his life was still shallow and his pulse was not obvious until the end of October. I took the pulse again and confirmed it. Now, it’s less than April.” Chen Jin sighed.

Shen Rui hesitated for a moment, and still hid Zhang Hui’s uncle’s name and surname, and said a few words based on “the old story of the previous dynasty”.

After hearing this, Chen Jin turned pale and his eyes were filled with horror. Brother Chen Ying's face was also ugly.

If Chunhua is old at this time, it would be fine. Now he is only three months pregnant. It is not impossible to give birth to a full term in the future. After all, there are premature babies, and there are seven more. If you rely on it, it will be impossible to argue if you are born prematurely.

Although Chen Jin saw his career prosper, he only knew how difficult he was. Now, there are countless people in the court who disliked him, and those who disliked the Zhang family were counted on him, otherwise Zheng would have been the first. My aunt came quietly to help him with family affairs, but why was she impeached by the censor?

If it were as Shen Rui said, when the court was in conflict, someone really jumped out to talk about this, and Chen Jin was disgraced, he was afraid that he would have to die like a high-ranking official.

Chen Ying had a dark face and said in a low voice: "But checked, is it really Uncle Yuan's? Uncle Yuan has always had a weak life."

Chen Qi was slightly stunned, and then he understood his brother's intention. He was looking for a step for Chen Jin to give him an excuse to deal with the maid. This woman could not keep it anymore, so he also said, "This matter is also true." If it is not in accordance with the etiquette and law, this child is an illegitimate child and will not recognize him."

Normally, the maid is promoted to a wife or even a concubine, and the maid in her own room is the only one. Even if there is no matter in the Xiaozhongxing family, it is not a good thing to reveal that the son steals his mother's maid.

Since the clan is determined to be unethical and legal, the Fourth House can let go of his hands to deal with it.

Chen Jin looked grateful and bowed deeply to Chen Ying and Chen Qi.

Chen Ying waved his hand, and Chen Qi said, "The previous punishment of Uncle Yuan in the clan has not been completed. He was temporarily sent home because Lao An was unattended. Now that Lao An has passed away, the end of the day. In the year, Uncle Gayuan returned to the ancestral hall and continued his previous punishment."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Yuan should be locked up, otherwise I really don’t know what else would happen.

Chen Jin replied, "I will tell my wife when I go back."

Once you decide to do it, you can't delay it.

The "old things in the previous dynasty" that Shen Rui talked about really scared him. Now he thought a little deeper and decided to deal with everything before his wife arrived in Songjiang. It was not that he was afraid that his wife would cause trouble, but that he was afraid that Some villain falsely accused his wife of this matter, and the daughter-in-law dealt with her father-in-law's concubine was also beyond the rules.

However, this hidden worries cannot be expressed to anyone.

Chen Jin paused and said to Chen Qi: "Our wife can handle this matter, but our master is afraid that the patriarch will still have to... "

Chen Qi nodded and said, "Of course. Don't worry. This matter is related to the reputation of the entire Shen clan, and the clan will not ignore it."

Chen Jin then breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was a son of the four sect in the clan, he could deal with anyone in the four sects, but it was his own father in the end, and it was not reasonable in terms of etiquette and law. Or was it justified in the clan's handling.

After changing the hot tea, Chen Jin mentioned Mr. He Jiu who came to the door yesterday.

Grandpa He Jiu also heard Chen Jin's letter coming to Songjiang Mansion, not only to talk about the child in the maid's belly, but also to mention his son He Pingsheng, who had been sent to Liaodong.

If the time was not right, Mr. He Jiu was actually very happy to let Chen Yuan have a concubine so that his daughter could carry it to raise him. Although He has not been pregnant over the years, he has gradually given up, but if he can raise it himself. A son finally has something to rely on in the future.

Especially the top scholar's stepson now has married such a high-ranking daughter-in-law, and it is almost certain that Xiao He will be angry in the future. If he can have a child he raised, it will be good for the mother and son to live their own lives in Songjiang in the future.

It’s a pity that this child came when the old lady died, so God didn’t let him stay.

Chen Jin was still the whole story that Mr. He Jiu knew about. He was quite embarrassed and could not immediately give Mr. He Jiu an explanation, and he only vaguely stated that it was of great importance and should be carefully considered.

Chen Jin couldn't respond to the second thing proposed by Mr. He Jiu.

When the case of communicating with Japanese decrees was concluded, He Dongsheng and Nansheng's brothers were executed, and Beisheng was exiled for three thousand miles. He Pingsheng was sentenced to take away his fame and deposed as a minor official in Liaodong for fraud in scientific research.

This time, Master He Jiu learned that the Shen family and the Lu family were in charge of Liaodong, Shandong (at that time, Liaodong was under the Shandong Provincial Administration Office), and he couldn't help but feel the thought.

To put it in detail, although they are also members of the He family, they have no grudges with the Shen family. On the contrary, they have a grudge with the He family's clan family. However, they are not mentioned by the Shen family's grandfather, the eldest daughter who was killed by the He family's clan family was her son He Pingsheng. The brothers Chen Jin and Shen Rui were rescued by him, and he had already been killed by He Dongsheng for his writing.

He Pingsheng fought to the death to participate in the imperial examination. After he passed the Jinshi, he immediately planned to release the magistrate. He had no contact with the He family and had never participated in the He family's disaster to the Shen family.

Mr. He Jiu still had some hope in his heart, hoping that the Shen family could give his son a chance. He was all in Liaodong. He believed that his son was still a bit of a talented person and could help the Shen family, and his son could be supported by the Shen family. It's better to be imprisoned in Liaodong for the rest of your life.

However, Chen Jin was soft-hearted and helped He Pingsheng at the beginning, but he didn't want to be plotted by He Pingsheng, so he almost implicated the Shangshu Mansion. It was Chen Run, the third master of Chen, who came forward to settle the matter. Afterwards, He Pingsheng looked at it as if it was not the case and nothing to do with him. No matter how kind Chen Jin is, he will not have any good feelings for He Pingsheng.

Master He Jiu really didn't know the details, nor did he know his son's ungratefulness. He only said that his son was capable and talented and lobbyed here.

Chen Jin is not easy to refute him, and he can't tell me that the Shen family is now operating in Liaodong, Shandong. He is unable to get involved at all since he accepted the marriage of the Shouning Marquis' Mansion, Shen Rui has never mentioned the incident of Shandong Liaodong. After that, it was obvious that he was kicked out.

Standing in the study room in the five rooms, he didn't hide it, and told Chen Ying and Shen Rui directly: "I'm not telling him the title, but since he came to mention this matter, I always tell you brothers and Rui Rui. .The Ninth Grandpa Ninth has no reply from me, I am afraid I will come to find you to mention it. After all, the Ninth Grandpa Ninth only has this son."

Chen Ying was quite moved. The Shen family is now Chen Chun in Liaodong. He Pingsheng was originally a county magistrate and indeed had a talent for officials. Now he has been demoted to Liaodong for several months. With his ability, he must be able to survive in the local area. In fact, if he needs to use it, he can use it.

He looked at Shen Rui and asked, "I have never dealt with the nine rooms of the He family, I only heard about it. Look at He Pingsheng, how about this person?"

Shen Rui shrugged and pointed at Chen Jin and said, "Brother Jin knows He Pingsheng best."

Chen Jin felt a little embarrassed. After all, He Pingsheng was his cheap uncle. With such a relative, he had a face that was lost.

But in front of his brothers, especially to decide on major events in the clan, he still told the truth: "This person is so cold and not as kind as the ninth old man. And I am even more worried that he will feel dissatisfied after being deposed, so I will turn it up again. Our Shen family is also complaining."

Chen Jin is already a well-known kind person. He said this, but I am afraid that He Pingsheng is really not good. Chen Ying frowned, "It's actually like this."

Shen Rui unconsciously knocked on the table twice with his fingers and said thoughtfully: "If Master He Jiu doesn't mention it, I really can't remember him. Since Master He Jiu mentioned it, I think I'd better write a letter to Brother Chun, pay attention to this. I am not afraid of anything else, just like Brother Jin, I am afraid that he will blame us for making trouble in secret."

Thinking about He Pingsheng was almost tortured by He Dongsheng in the first month of the year, but in February he was able to grit his teeth and end the exam, and even scored 44th in the second grade.

This person, who can be cruel to himself, will only be even more cruel to others.

Even when he was surviving, he could plot against Chen Jin and the Shangshu Mansion, and he never felt grateful afterwards. It can be seen that he was selfish and cold-hearted, and he might not have been able to bring his own demerits and his official positions to the Shen family. If the Shen family had not defeated the He family, the matter of his writing on behalf of others might not have been revealed.

Chen Jin also sighed, nodded, and said, "Let me turn around and ask our wife where He Pingsheng is now and what is the situation. Let me tell you all brothers and brother Rui to write a letter to Brother Chun. Son, let him pay attention.”

While I was talking in the study, someone reported from afar outside that I was a little short of a moment. Changshou came in with a tea tray, but there were not tea cups on it, but two posts.

Changshou arrived in Songjiang a lot earlier than Shen Rui because of his hurry and riding. When he arrived in the fifth room, Chen Qi, the same clan leader, did not say that he had a task, but said that the master arranged for him to come back first.

Changshou is the first person around Shen Rui, and he is more stable and reliable than those families who have children. Therefore, Guo and Chen Qi did not ask much, so they placed someone.

When Shen Rui came back, he was relieved when he saw Changshou's unscathedness. He asked carefully about the rescue of Wang Yue. Seeing that Changshou's words were indeed like Wang Stick, Changshou paid more attention to the details and finished it carefully. Give up completely.

The guards who died and injured during the war were properly handled by Changshou. Because they were not the only sons in the family and did not involve supporting the elderly, they gave them a thick pension.

Shen Rui said repeatedly that he did a good job, and said that in the future, he would have a constitution to properly place parents and children in the hospital for casualties and injuries. He should not give up just by giving money, or arrange for retirement in the village or give monthly education money. He would have to let him go. The family has little care and support.

These things are not only about fulfilling benevolence and righteousness, but also about setting a role for the living, so that people can know that they have no worries and are willing to work hard for the Shen family.

Changshou wrote down one by one, and said that although there were losses this time, the improvement of the guards was obvious. This guard who had seen blood was much stronger than that who had never seen blood. And after all, he came out of the British Duke's Mansion. The people were together for many days, and the army cooperated and set up the formation, and were also learned by the guards of the Shen Mansion. Although it was superficial, it was enough for the guards to benefit the guards.

Shen Rui was satisfied with this result, and said, "I want them to experience it. This time, you look at the good people, pick out some of them as appropriate, and be a little coach, and wait to go back to Beijing. Lead the team to train new players directly.”

Changshou responded with laughter and recommended Zhang Chenglin, Liu Zhuang, Qi Sheng and others who performed the most in this operation to Shen Rui.
