[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade

The plaque of the scholar's office hangs high in front of the Shen family's gate. It is precisely because the old man Shen Ying, who is an official worshiped as a scholar of the Wenyuan Pavilion of the current dynasty, and a veteran of the two dynasties, is very trusted today.Xueshi Shen is extremely fair, he doesn't rely on his seniority to sell the old, and everyone in the court is also convinced and highly respected.

That day when Xueshi Shen came out of the yamen, he heard the porter's report that his second grandson had returned to the capital, and he was very happy, so he didn't go to the study outside, and went directly to the back house to see his grandson.Even Shen Ren's father, Shen Ting, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, only changed his official uniform, and went to the old lady's room to say hello.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to talk happily about his family relationship, he heard Shen Ren foolishly appointing brother Ai's marriage.No matter how much she loves her grandson, Shen Ying can't say that he handled this matter properly, let alone Shen Ting, who immediately asked for family law: "There is nothing in the eyes of the elders, and it is even more foolish to be an official. If you don't teach me a lesson, How can you be a parent for the people?"

The old lady punished herself, scolded and scolded, and stopped at the front: "He has calculated mentally but has no intentions, and has spent so many years in the officialdom than him. He deserves this loss."

Xueshi Shen just caressed his beard and watched his children and grandchildren quarrel with his old wife, no one knew what he was thinking.The old lady couldn't see him leisurely, and asked, "Old man, what do you think?"

When the old wife spoke, Bachelor Shen was no longer deep: "It's just a drunken talk, why should it be taken seriously? If you go to the post of general, it's just a matter of saying it. Why panic."

The old lady thought it was not so simple: "Grandpa, you don't know, this stupid thing has already exchanged tokens with someone. It was the jade pendant that the saint rewarded him after the palace examination that year. Think about it, our family may have imperial Isn't giving it a serious matter? Even Lin Ruhai knows things."

Only then did Xueshi Shen understand why the old wife was so restless.This imperial gift should be treasured and kept secret, but now Shen Ren made a betrothal gift for Brother Ai casually!Think about explaining to Mrs. Shen: "The newborn baby depends on how it is brought up. Although our family is not good at raising children and brides, we should walk around more on weekdays and mention Lin Ruhai more outside."

Mrs. Shen didn't agree with her old lady's words: "Then Lin Ruhai is far away in the south of the Yangtze River. No matter how frequently he walks around, it's just a New Year's ceremony. What's more, for officials, who knows where they will end up in the future? .”

But Mr. Shen said in a daze: "You and I are always in the capital, so Ren'er will return to Beijing in the same way in the future? Now that he is an official in the same place as Lin Ruhai, it is naturally more convenient for us to move around. He made a fuss about this matter. Yes, she will also be his eldest daughter-in-law in the future, so he should worry about it."

Then he casually said: "According to the words of the sage, we need to sort out the Jiangnan Salt Administration. I am afraid that Lin Ruhai will take the position of inspector of the salt censor."

Shen Shangshu was shocked when he heard this: "The saint's heart is too cruel. If so, what about this marriage?"

"What are you afraid of? He is the one who begged us to be married. Ren'er didn't know any officials in the future before marrying him. Instead, let Ren'er tell Lin Ruhai first. Doesn't he just want someone to watch over and help him?" Bachelor Shen The old gods are here.

The dear brother who was regarded as ignorant, listened to the whole conversation from the beginning to the end, and couldn't help but admire Mrs. Shen in his heart. This is a person who is mature and mature. At this time, this Bachelor Shen is naturally not interested in the Lin family's wealth. But he must have been moved by Lin Ruhai.

Don't talk about anything, just look at the light in the old man's eyes when he mentioned that Lin Ruhai was about to sit on the Yan Yushi, and he knew his current thoughts like the back of his hand, which made Shen Ren take the initiative to show his favor to Lin Ruhai.

Although I don't know the exact time when Sister Lin came to Beijing, how to calculate, Lin Ruhai can still have at least ten years of favor.During this period, Shen Ren had a good relationship with him and had an in-law agreement. It was much safer and more secretive for him to get help from Lin Ruhai, the censor in Jiangnan, than to entrust others to take care of Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen.

"Go back and pay a visit to Mr. Wang of the Ministry of Officials. You have been away for more than three years, and Mr. Wang cares about you so much." Bachelor Shen didn't speak anymore, and Shen Shangshu pointed out his second son.Shen Renzi only had his due, knowing that his engagement to Brother Ai was finally over.

Everyone wentssip again, and Xueshi Shen suddenly said: "I met Ren'er this time, and I realized that I am getting old, and I have the heart to become an official."

Brother Ai shook his head when he heard this, Shen Ren's son dangled in front of you every day, and you didn't even feel it, why did you think of becoming an official when you saw Shen Ren?Fake, too fake.

Xueshi Shen just saw the little chubby boy shaking his head, and he felt amused, so he couldn't help asking him: "Brother Ai, do you not agree with me?"

Brother Ai's face was flat, he still shook his head, and said perfunctory words: "Master is not old."

It's one thing to say that you are old, but Xueshi Shen was still happy when he heard the youngest grandson say that he is not old, and he couldn't help laughing: "Oh, why don't you talk about not being old?"

Are you coaxing children?Well, I am really a child.I had no choice but to say: "My grandfather goes to the yamen before five o'clock every day. The old lady said, thanks to my grandfather's good health and spirit. Even if my body and spirit are in good condition, my grandfather will not grow old naturally."

The old lady thought about it carefully, but she didn't remember when she said this, and she felt that she was really old and her memory was bad.Shen Xueshi even stroked his beard and smiled: "You have a good body and a good spirit." Looking at the old wife, his gaze became softer, and he thought that everything was fine with the old wife.

In order to achieve his goal, Brother Ai had no choice but to continue to act cute: "Brother Ai must study hard, and he will also be healthy and energetic."

Even Shen Shangshu laughed now, and hugged his little grandson: "You are only a young man, and it's not your fault if you don't have energy."

Shen Xueshi also said: "You want to be good at studying, and it happens that I can enlighten you after I retire, wouldn't it be good?"

Brother Ai shook his head like a drum: "The second master will enlighten me."

His son trusted him so much, and Shen Ren was moved again - when he returned to his room just now, Fang had already allowed his wife to follow him as a foreigner, but he was thinking about what brother Liu Ai said in Beijing.Although he also understands that this is the normal state of the family, now he is reluctant to part with his son.Now when I hear my son say that I will enlighten him, I naturally nod my head: "I will definitely raise my brother well."

Mrs. Shen was furious, but with the old man and the old lady present, she couldn't show too much, so she could only look at the old lady helplessly, hoping that she would speak a fair word.

Here, Bachelor Shen has already made a serious attitude: "Is my knowledge not as good as your father's?"

This is a bit heavy-handed. To say that the old man is not good at learning is to question the authority of the family, but to say that Shen Ren is not good at learning is to say that his father has made mistakes.Brother Ai complained about the old fox in his heart, but his face showed a little confusion: "Isn't the grandfather going to the government office, how much time does he have in a day? The second master is a young official, and the time to go to the government office is also shorter. He has plenty of time to teach me."

Shen Ren, who was despised by his son as a small official, felt a little uncomfortable, and Shen Shangshu was very happy: "Very well, even if your father is promoted to another official position, he will still be a small official. Why don't you stay at home, How about learning how to be an official with the grandfather, and become a high-ranking official in the future?"

Still learning how to be an official, your family now has a bachelor, a household secretary who is in charge of the world's money and food, and a successor who is not a member of the imperial court. If you continue to rise like this, there will be a day It will make the emperor think about it.

Brother Ai already had a thought in his mind: "I don't learn how to be an official."

Yesterday, the angels complained about the generations of mistresses of the Shen family who were picky about Fairy Lin's upbringing. They thought this way when they set it up. Mrs. Lin and Lin Ruhai already had prejudices, so Lin Ruhai proposed to marry her. Naturally not happy.As for Mrs. Shen, because of the ancient marriage, it is said that it was the order of her parents. Although she is only Ai Geer's grandmother, she should have the right to know first, and she doesn't like it if she doesn't.Fang's understanding is better. He will only know about his son's marriage after it is settled, so it's no wonder he's happy.

As for the three generations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it is said that the upbringing of Rongguo Mansion and Jia Min has a lot to do with the different ways of civil and martial arts, and the differences in rules and family traditions. At that time, it was about the birth of a daughter and mother, and it was said that the daughter-in-law first depends on the behavior of the mother. They have this concern It's normal.
