Chapter 219 Zhenyuan rendezvous (3)

The next day, September 10th.

Because the second master is leaving Beijing tomorrow, relatives and friends will come to practice this day.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, the second master's departure from the capital is not a glorious thing, but with the eldest master, the minister, no one thinks that the second master will not come back in the future, but no one will avoid it like a snake or a scorpion.

Old Mrs. Qiao did not come this time, and only sent her son and daughter-in-law to come. Because of the matter of exile, Old Mrs. Qiao had a deep opinion of the second master, the son-in-law, and even the eldest master complained.

Just a master, her aunt has never been able to control her; the second master, the son-in-law, has been determined to do his own thing this time, which has really annoyed the old lady.

In her opinion, the eldest master was naturally thinking about his wealth and was not dedicated to the second master's younger brother, otherwise he would not have let the second master leave Beijing for the sake of ordinary affairs at the critical moment of "Beijing Inspection".

Otherwise, with the qualifications of the second master, even if he cannot be promoted to a popular yamen like Zhan Shi Mansion, it will not be a problem to be promoted to a deputy to Xiaojiuqing's yamen, and he will not be able to leave Beijing.

She complained to the second master for a few words. The second master just kept saying good things to the eldest master, as if she was instigating their brotherly relationship.

Old Mrs. Qiao was so angry that she was too lazy to care in the end.

The second wife did not come out to entertain guests this day. When others asked, Xu looked embarrassed: "I was sad yesterday and I was a little mentally deficient, so I didn't come out. Please understand..."

My relatives and friends know that yesterday was the sun on Shen Luo’s sacrifice, so I don’t have to ask more questions.

Mrs. Qiao, the sister-in-law of her mother's family, was not easy to visit, so Xu asked someone to lead her to the second room. She thought that her sister-in-law was uneasy because of her husband's dissatisfaction, and was about to persuade her, but she didn't expect to be in the second room.

But I saw that the second wife was sleeping soundly and didn't get up at all.

There are a lot of guests outside, but when the second master and his wife come, is she the real master sleeping?

Mrs. Qiao was so angry that she was half-expected, but there was nothing she could do.

The second wife is in her forties, and even the powerful sister-in-law Xu, the eldest sister-in-law of the family, cannot control her. She says too much that she is not a human inside or outside.

When she got home and asked about it, Mrs. Qiao naturally couldn't tell the truth. Otherwise, with the old lady's temper, she would blame her sister-in-law for being ignorant and not persuaded her sister-in-law.

She only talked about the second wife's exhaustion yesterday, she was not energetic today, and she didn't come out to entertain customers.

Old Mrs. Qiao knew her daughter's temper, so she just sighed and said nothing more when she felt that she was still vomiting with her husband.

The Ministry of Personnel has already written a document. Even if you are angry at this time, can you resist the order and disrespect?

On September 11, Shen Rui brought the butler's entourage and others to send the second house and his family, Shen Qin and Shen Bao to the Tongzhou Wharf. Those who came to see him off were Mr. Qiao Er and Shen Qi who had no official position.

As for the third master, he originally wanted to come out, but the eldest master and his wife were left behind by the excuse of "sweeping the third" by the fourth brother, and did not dare to let him run around again.

The third master is afraid of joy and anger, but his mood has been fluctuating a lot in the past few days.

Until he boarded the ship, Master Qiao Er did not see his sister.

He didn't think too much, and just talked to the second master and Shen Jue.

Old Mrs. Qiao and Mr. Qiao have a bad temper and tough temper. Mr. Qiao Er is a tactful person and is really close to Shen Jue.

Shen Jue's temperament has always been soft but not hard. After meeting Mr. Qiao Er several times, he felt that he would join the contract with this cheap uncle. If he hadn't been to go south with his parents this time, he would have been happy with his uncle and nephew.

Go together.

When he came to the dock, Shen Rui brought Changshou and Liu Cheng with him, and when he returned to Beijing, only Changshou was left. Liu Cheng was entrusted to Chen Jue by Shen Rui and brought back to Songjiang.

Unlike Changshou, although Shen Rui signed a contract with the Liu Cheng family last year, it was not a dead contract, and Liu Cheng did not become a slave.

When he was in Songjiang before, Shen Rui brought Liu Cheng with him in order to repay Liu Ya's helping hand. Now Shen Rui has settled in the capital, but he has to consider Liu Cheng's study.

Previously, when the third master taught, the book boy was allowed to listen. In the future, Shen Rui went out to study, but it was not so convenient for Liu Cheng to borrow Pure to study. After all, the book boy was not accompanying him, and there was a difference between superiors and inferiors. Instead of doing so, it would be better to let Liu Cheng go back to his hometown to study.

As for Liu Ya, Shen Rui also asked carefully.

Liu Ya values ​​Liu Cheng, but with stepmother in this world, there is a stepmother, and although she is pretty, she is physically disabled. I know that even if I go home, I will not be able to say it is better except for being sold by my parents again. He decided to stay by Shen Rui's side to serve.

The Shen House entered the mansion three times and five times, and half of the people walked away, and they suddenly became deserted.

Xu was worried that Sister Yu lived alone on the West Road, so she had moved her to the main courtyard and cross the courtyard.

Sister Yu, like Chen Jue, wants to be filial to Chen Luo for one year. Now that she gets rid of the clothes, she can go out to socialize with Xu. A twelve-year-old girl wants to find a proper marriage, she always has to see her for one or two years.

Although Sister Yu is born in a illegitimate family, the only daughter of the Shen family's three-bedroom family has no worries about marriage. It is not easy to find someone who is in a illegitimate family after all. Even if the biological mother is a good concubine, families with equal status will always be picky; lower Most of the people who are attached to each other are clinging to each other.

Whenever I think of Sister Yu’s marriage, Xu is also worried.

However, compared with Sister Yu’s marriage, the most important thing in front of him is Shen Rui’s study.

Now Chen Jue, Chen Qin, and Chen Bao have all left. The third master just got his son again. He was so excited that he had no intention of teaching, but Shen Rui could not teach at home.

Originally, when he took Shen Rui to Beijing, Xu and the eldest master had an arrangement for the school, which was Chunshan Academy. However, after being interrupted by the third master, Shen Rui's brothers stayed at the Shen family and were not sent to the academy. .

Although I believe in the knowledge of the third master, the master and Xu are not willing to do so for such an arrangement.

You should know that in interpersonal relationships, classmates are important connections. When you were young, everyone was innocent and romantic, and likes and dislikes came from their original hearts, and it was easiest to make real friendships. When you came later, you would know how to care about gains and losses, and the relationship would be mixed.

It was only when the three elders were protected by their brothers and sisters-in-law as they beat them and were not in touch with the world, so they kept their nephews at home to study on a whim.

The master and Xu were unwilling to discourage his interest, and thought that it would take only one year to do anything, and at least he could send Shen Rui to the academy one year later.

Unexpectedly, the small school ended after a year, and the matter of sending Shen Rui to Chunshan Academy was included in the schedule again

The second master of the group left the Hanlin Academy, otherwise it would be a book that recommended it.

Because Chunshan Academy is famous, there are not only one or two Beijing officials who want to send their children there to school, so the admission there is also the strictest.

It is necessary to be a child or relative of the Hanlin Courtyard, a book recommendation, and an entrance examination. All three conditions are indispensable.

The second master has left the Hanlin Academy. If Shen Rui wants to enroll, he can only find Bachelor He and Chen Li to recommend books.

After discussing with the master, Xu decided to ask Chen Li for help.

If we talk about it, the He family is the eldest brother-in-law, and Chen Li is just a nephew of the clan. The relationship between the He family and the Shen family may not be far away from that of the clan. However, Chen Li is different from Shen Rui. If Chen Li skips Shen Li, he will not be able to tell him in his heart. It's still uncomfortable.

It just happened that the fourth brother was "Sweeping the Third" on the 11th, and relatives and friends also came to congratulate him.

Chen Li came out of the Hanlin Academy on duty and came here to congratulate him. He was about the same age as the third master, and was named uncle and nephew, but in fact he was more like a friend. For the third master, he was more happy than sad. The third master finally has a future, and the worry is that the eldest master and his wife have always loved and favored the young master, the third master. Now that they have a legitimate nephew, I wonder if they will go over to the heir of Brother Rui.

Even from a legal perspective, Shen Rui is the son of the eldest master and his wife, and is closer than his nephew; but human affection is human favor. If the eldest master and his wife do not value blood, they would not have been a heir for many years. They wanted Chen Luo to be both a member of the family. .

When Shen Rui and others returned from Tongzhou, Xu was discussing Shen Rui's study with Chen Li.

Chen Li said: "Aunt just leave it to your nephew. After you have to deal with your nephew, let's arrange for Brother Rui to take the exam.

Chunshan Academy enrolls in February every year, and Shen Rui is now considered a "transfer student".

"Will it make Brother Six feel embarrassed when you enter school at this time? It really doesn't work, and it won't be much until February next year." Xu said.

Chen Li replied: "There were some people who entered the school halfway before, but the admission exam was just a little harder than usual. However, it was the county exam level. Brother Rui was not afraid of taking the exam here, so please don't worry."

What Xu was worried about was not Shen Rui's achievements, but because he was afraid that he would be too troublesome and he would be unhappy.

Although Chen Li was wholeheartedly planning for Shen Rui, there was a Xie family behind him.

Although they are both wives from the prime minister's house, Xu and Xie are different.

When Xu was a child, Xu's father had been removed from office and experienced the ups and downs of human relations. If the third great-grandson was not for his integrity and considering his old relationship with the Xu family, he would not have made Xu a wife for his eldest son.

A few years after Xu married into the Shen family, the third grandfather and his wife passed away one after another, and then there was a six-year filial piety period.

If the master had not been diligent in his job, and the Xu Chen family had several relatives in-laws in the officialdom to help, the Shen family would have been completely silent.

The ups and downs of the times will develop Xu's calm and open-minded nature.

As the daughter of the top scholar, Xie later became the wife of the top scholar. His father joined the cabinet minister, but without setbacks, he became more and more glorious every day.

Chen Li was estranged from Jiufangtang. Since her mother-in-law passed away, Xie became more and more free and uncontrollable. Even in the capital, she had contacts with brothers from other clans with the second house, and was a gentleman's friend.

Only Shen Rui is the son of "honored relatives", Chen Li attaches great importance to Shen Rui and regards him as brothers. Xie is like a brother-in-law, and he is inevitably uncomfortable.

Xie was attentive to Shen Rui in front of her husband, but afterwards she felt a little reluctant to look at her. Since Shen Rui came to Beijing, she has been socializing more and more often in her second room and her smile has become lighter and shallower.

He is a bit careless and careless, and cannot detect his wife's scrupulousness.

Shen Rui knew the tact, so he used the excuse of studying and rarely came to Shenli.

Xu was annoyed by Xie's slim family, but he was unwilling to pick it up to embarrass Chen Li. After all, Chen Li had been in office for more than ten years, and today he could reach Yue's family.

"Your second brother is eight years old. Now that you send Brother Rui to Chunshan Academy, will it delay your second brother from going to school in the future?" Xu thought for a while and asked.

After asking this question, she already regretted it.

If you ask Mr. He for help directly, how can you care about these things?

Before, he only thought that he would not make it difficult to do it, but when he left this matter to him, Xie felt uncomfortable.

Chen Li laughed and said, "Why did Aunt ask about this? Second brother has three years left, and not every family can only send one child over..."
