Although Chen Ying is now just a free job, today is the first day of opening the seal, and she has been busy in the yamen for half a day until the sky is about to dusk.

Grandma Ying personally served her husband and went to the official uniform and hat, changed into homely clothes, and said, "Dear, my second uncle from Zongfang is sent here today. It sounds like I have an urgent matter to see you."

Chen Ying turned around and said, "Brother is here in Beijing?"

Grandma Ying nodded and said, "I heard that I came to Beijing yesterday. I thought it was important, otherwise I would not have gone out at this time. There was still a long time between the New Year..."

Chen Ying also thought of this place, and didn't even care about dinner, so she immediately sent someone to invite Chen.

Although others are in the capital now, their parents are still in Songjiang now. How can we not worry about changes there?

The old house of Zongfang is the ancestral house handed down by Master Chen, and the old house of Wufang is the ancestral house handed down by Master Xiao Shen. Although the two families live without a neighbor, they are also in the same hutong. Even if they come and go after sunset, they will be together. Don't worry about the night

Grandma Ying felt sorry for her husband. Seeing that he didn't even care about dinner, she said, "Why would I just ask someone to put the dinner in the living room?"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Call the third brother, he is not too young, he can hear everything..."

Grandma Ying responded and sent the maid to Chen Quan to pass the message.

Chen Ying is a few years older than Chen Nian. Now she is an official again, but she is not arrogant at this time and goes to the front yard living room to entertain guests first.

When Chen Ying arrived at the living room in front, Chen Quan also got the message and arrived in a hurry.

Chen sent the manager to come over, and Chen Quan came out to meet him. He naturally knew about Chen's incident in Beijing. He asked a few more questions. Even Chen knew about Li Shi, the manager of the Shangshu Mansion, and he couldn't help but think of Chen. Jue's sorrow is gone, and he is worried.

Seeing his elder brother, Chen Quan said, "Brother, it's not that the clan leader's uncle who asked the second brother to come to Beijing to raise an army to ask for guilt?"

Chen Yingben didn't expect this and couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't there something wrong with Songjiang?"

"Songjiang has something to do, and my parents have already sent someone to send messages..." Chen Quan said.

Chen Ying patted her forehead and said, "It's my concern that makes me confused... But why did my third brother say that, but what did the people who came here today reveal?"

Chen Quan nodded and said, "I calculated the time. The departure date is when Brother Jue'er Shangxin went back. I was afraid that the two were related, so I asked the manager a few more questions. It turned out that the second brother was not going north alone, but With the butler of the Shangshu Mansion, we entered Beijing together..."

"Uncle, uncle, uncle sent Mr. Li to the south?" Chen Ying was a little surprised. After thinking about it carefully, it was reasonable. Who made the second house leave Beijing with only Shen Rui? But there is a lesson from Chen Jue's previous experience. , How dare the elders of the second house let Shen Rui suffer from the pain of running around for thousands of miles.

Chen Ying's heart suddenly became heavy, and her face was filled with worries: "People are like duckweed, and the clan is the root. Now, let alone the five outer rooms are scattered, even if the four inner rooms die one after another, they will be the five. The sect room is the main branch vein of the Shen clan, and the second sect is also the mainstay of the sect. If these two sects compete, they will be afraid that they will divide the sects..."

Chen Ying left home and saw a lot of love for the world. He knew that the family was huge and the children were of varying quality, but the population was rich and the benefits outweighed the disadvantages. Not to mention anything else, just say that Songjiang is one of the most prosperous places in Jiangnan, and the Shen clan was the place. Even the prefect of Songjiang should be more polite when he meets the head of the Shen family. If the Shen family is divided into sects, the Shen family's momentum cannot be said to have plummeted, and it will never be the same as before.

This is from a big perspective, Chen Ying is not happy with the Shen family's division.

From a small perspective, the clan leader passed away. Now only one person in the clan house has become an official, and he also needs the elders of the second house to carry him. On the second house, the eldest and second house masters are no longer young, and the fourth brother is still young, only Shen Rui, and no matter what he is, he will never care about it in the future. In officialdom and social relationships, you also need to rely on several brothers of the clan to support each other. Shen Ji is a brother of the clan and a son of the clan. Due to his identity, he will take care of his younger clan.

If two houses are combined, they will benefit both; if they are divided, they will harm them. In fact, it is not appropriate to have another rift.

As the two brothers talked, a servant came to report and fell to the point.

Chen Ying did not get up, and Chen Quan went out to greet him.

"Second Brother" saw that Chen was still wearing plain clothes, and Chen Quan couldn't show the joy of reunion of the little separation, so he just bowed politely.

Chen then remembered that the fifth house was not only Chen Ying in Beijing, but also Chen Quan was there.

"It's Brother Quan. I haven't seen you for half a year, and you have grown taller again..." Chen said.

Chen Quan listened to this tone of dealing with the child, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth: "Second brother, I'm already twenty-one, I'm not a child..."

After hearing this, he felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly said, "It's my brother who's been missed, don't blame me, brother Quan...

Although Chen Quan was busy with Guo's relationships at home when he was a teenager, he was dealing with small matters. When it came to the exchanges with the clan, Master Hong and Guo were still there, so it was not Chen Quan's turn to deal with him.

Chen Quan has a heavy duty, and Chen Quan is very different from him. How could he remember how old is this clan brother? It was just that he always saw him having a good relationship with Shen Rui, Chen Jue and others, and Chen Quan is still unmarried. He just thought that he was no more than Shen Rui and Chen Jue than two years older.

As he spoke, Chen Quan had already led Chen to the screen wall and entered the living room.

Chen Ying also got up.

I remembered the friendship between youth, but there was a little more sincere feelings. I went up to see him and said, "Brother Ying...

It is now the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, and two brothers of the clan have not seen each other for four or five years.

Chen Ying also brought her to her. When the two brothers of the clan met, the guest and the host took the seat. Chen Quan personally presented tea to the brothers of the clan and elder brothers, and then served as a companion for the next round.

Although Chen Ying's approach to being close is not like a fake, before she spoke formally, Chen's eyes were already flashing and hesitating.

Has the friendship between the two families been more than the interests of power? Thinking of his elder brother's attitude, Chen was a little confused.

Seeing that Chen wanted to speak but stopped, Chen Ying said, "What's wrong with brother?"

Chen stood up with a wry smile and bowed to Chen Ying: "This time, I am alone and the elders are not here. I am afraid I will really bother Brother Ying to help me."

Chen Ying was willing to bear it, so she quickly got up to avoid it, and helped Chen's arm and said, "If you have something to say, what is this? I will naturally help if I can help, and let me explain the reason first."

Chen Quan was there, watching coldly, but he disdained Chen's tricks. However, he was not worried that his brother would be fooled. Although Chen Ying looked at Fang Zheng and honest, he was not an ill-intentioned person. Otherwise, he would not be young. He can gain a foothold in the capital and can also bring both parents, brothers and sisters into the capital to take care of him.

Chen raised his head and saw Chen Ying's face full of solemnity. He didn't dare to say anything else for a moment, so he stood up.

Although the two brothers of the clan are classmates and are of similar age, now one is already a Jinshi and has experienced it in the Hanlin Academy. They all meet high-ranking officials and officials. In addition to being elegant, they also have a few indescribable majesty; Below, Shen couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Shen Rui scared him first, but then when he saw Chen Ying's demeanor, his calm spirit had declined and then declined.

Even if I spoke up and asked for what I wanted, Chen was not as confident as before: "I have no choice but to ask Brother Ying to go... Since I was hitting Brother Jue, my master and wife have all arrived in Songjiang. I fell ill... Our master has always loved Brother Jue, and his heartache was extremely heartbroken, so he couldn't think of it for a moment and insisted on picking Brother Jue back... I had no choice but to go to Beijing by my father's order, but I was frightened and completely lost A clue...

Chen Ying listened to the front, thinking that the Zongfang had just experienced a funeral in the summer. Now the Zongfang master is a black-haired man and sent a white-haired man to see him off. He sighed in his heart. When he heard the back, he felt something was wrong: " Is adoption a joke? Even if the eldest clan is heartbroken and loses his mind for a moment, the eldest clan brother should be a wise man, so how could he agree to return to the clan?"

If he had not entered the officialdom, he would not know the difficulties of the officialdom. Shouldn’t he know that he had not been a second wife as his backer? If he had not been a second wife, a poor official would have been excluded and could he remain a firm official in the capital?

This is what I heard in my ears, but it has another meaning.

He raised his eyelids and looked at Chen Ying and said, "No matter what, this is our master's wish. Can't Brother Ying help me?"

"How to help? Isn't this requirement absurd? It was written clearly in the document that Brother Jue has been a second house since then, and life and death are not related to this. Not to mention that Brother Jue is sick, but other things, It’s not my turn to come forward with my own hands..." Chen Ying frowned.

If you want to get the bloodline and get it back if you want it, then "Xingmi Jijue" will become a joke.

The existence of the inheritance documents is a kind of constraint, not only restricting one's relatives, but also for his descendants.

Just like Chen Zhou and Chen Jue, the father and son, if Chen Jue is alive, even if Chen Zhou has another son, no matter whether he is a legitimate or a illegitimate, he will be ranked behind Shen Jue. Even if he is separated in the future, Chen Jue will still be the main branch. Brothers have to be separated, not about their relatives and alienations. Since the adoption document was established, Chen Jue has been legitimately following the bloodline of the second room.

This is still an ordinary family, and it is inconsistent, even if there are titles, according to the rules. This is why some people have no inheritance at the age of 50 or 60, and they have to take concubines and children first, rather than adopting nephews. I don't want to give up my foundation to others.

The second wife of the Shen family had a difficult time having children. However, Chen Luo, the only one, had not mentioned the adoption. Otherwise, after he had no hope of taking a concubine and asking for a child, Chen Cang should have decided to have an heir early.

When the year of the year is about to stand, how can I not know this?

But law is nothing more than human feelings. Rules are dead and people live.

He said sincerely: "Before my brother, we are bedridden. No matter how difficult it is, it is our master's wish. Please help Brother Ying..."

As the messed up, Chen Ying was naturally unwilling to interfere, but Zong Fang and Wu Fang had a deep relationship and asked him to come with him. He was really embarrassed.

Chen Quan saw his brother looking embarrassed and said, "Since the second brother spoke, my elder brother is willing to help. But we are juniors, should we show the car and come to the door? It's really not possible, so let my elder brother go there. Let me pass on a message to my second brother..."
