Chapter Thirty-ninth The Spring Festival Returns (2)
When Shen Rui first saw Wang Shouren, Chen Quan's eyes were still not good, but how could Chen Quan look better than him. Shen Rui had no choice but to cough and said, "Sir, this is Chen Quan, my disciple's brother, today I will come to visit the disciples by the orders of my elders."
Wang Shouren was regarded by others, but he was not unhappy on his face, and he only looked at Chen Quan as usual.
Chenquan's eyes were straight, still like a wooden man.
Seeing that Chen Quan was still stunned, Shen Rui pulled his sleeve and said, "Third Brother, this is Mr. Wang, I have never seen him."
Chen Quan woke up and quickly moved his eyes away, blushed and bowed, whispering: "Boy Chen Quan has seen Mr. Wang."
Shen Rui was beside him, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes. Why is Chen Quan so "shy"? It was because his husband was "extraordinary" that made Chen Quan so fascinated. No matter what, Chen Quan's "concentration" was too poor.
Wang Shouren looked at Shen Rui's disapproval and glanced at him. Could it be that this boy had forgotten his embarrassment a few days ago. He nodded to Chen Quan and said, "Since you are here, you brothers will talk freely. Let's make an appointment with the Zen master, so you should stay with him." After that, he ordered Wu Xuan to prepare tea for them, and then took Wu Xuan away leisurely.
Until he looked at Wang Shouren's back and could no longer see it, Chen Quanfang turned around, let out a long sigh, and said, "I read the book before, and I still thought it was a praising by ancient people. When I saw Mr. Wang, I knew what a handsome man was."
Shen Rui felt speechless and said, "The third brother can't be more reserved. He just now looked like a lustful person who had never seen the world, and even his saliva flowed out."
When Chen Quan heard this, he hurriedly wiped the corner of his mouth, and there was no saliva. Only then did he realize that Shen Rui was playing tricks on him and stared at him: "Okay, you waiter Rui, you have just not seen him for a few days and you have become so slim."
There are only three small and small rooms in this bamboo house, except for the study and the bedroom. Wang Shouren took Wu Xuan down, but only to leave a place for the two of them to speak. Chen Quan looked inside and outside, and obviously thought of it, saying, "Everyone said that beauty is so charming, but she didn't expect that she was a gentle and considerate person."
Although he knew that Wang Shouren was handsome and extraordinary, but when Chen Quan called Wang Shouren a "beauty", Shen Rui was still uncomfortable and said seriously: "Mr. Wang is knowledgeable and has a noble character. Third brother needs to be cautious."
Seeing him serious, Chen Quan muttered: "I have no intention of blasphemy, but Mr. Wang's appearance is indeed known as a beauty."
Seeing that he was still stubborn, Shen Rui was a little annoyed. No matter what, he had already regarded Wang Shouren as his teacher. Even if Chen Quan was just a young man, he had no intention of being lustful. He could call Wang Shouren "beauty" and lose respect. He said coldly: "I see that although the third brother is not as beautiful as a beauty, he is also elegant and charming. He deserves to be called the third brother and the little beauty in the future?"
Hearing the three words "Little Beauty", Shen Quan's face twitched. Seeing Shen Rui's face looked ugly, he woke up and hurriedly bowed: "It's my brother that is wrong, Rui's second brother forgives me for this."
He is the son of Guo and took good care of himself a few days ago. Shen Rui was unwilling to break up with him, so he said, "Mr. Wang has the talent of the top scholar, and he has praised it for his sixth brother. If you meet the third brother later, you should be more respectful."
Chen Quan said embarrassedly: "The third brother has just been frivolous and has lost his respect and will not be able to go back to the future. He thought he was both the name of a master in the Xinglin and was living in seclusion in the Zen temple. He must be a white-bearded old man. He didn't expect that he would be such an extraordinary person and at the age of a young age. Then he said a few words."
Shen Rui didn't want to continue Wang Shouren's topic. After all, he was not much better than Chen Quan's appearance a few days ago, so he turned around and said, "I don't know if the third brother knows it..."
Chen Quan's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "You don't know that there has been a lot of lively these days. The Zhang family's property has been divided up by three and nine houses. Men, women, young and old have not left a piece of copper except for their clothes. Three generations of the Zhang family's grandparents and grandchildren, and more than a dozen people, all went to your house. I heard that I had a very quarrel with Lao An, and Lao An was so angry that he fell ill."
Shen Rui was not surprised by the Zhang family's result. Looking at the style of the third and ninth rooms on that day, he was not the one who was willing to suffer losses. He would recover the money as soon as possible. It would be strange if they were willing to delay. But they didn't expect that the Zhang family was so vulnerable. Thinking of this, Shen Rui felt a sank and said, "Is the Zhang family so honest?"
Chen Quan sneered, "What if you are not honest? I heard that when I came back from my aunt that day, the people from the Third and Ninth Room seemed to have taken a step forward, but in fact they turned around and returned. I didn't know how to threaten him, so I asked my uncle Zhang to write a loan note and asked him to write a complaint. According to the complaint, the Third and Ninth Rooms borrowed silver to the Zhang family for the sake of the Zhang family's in-laws, and the Zhang family's son-in-law had an intention, so they took silver and ran away with his wife. Now the complaints have been handed over to the county government, and the Zhang family's son-in-law's arrest order has also been issued. Now the Zhang family is the miser."
When Shen Rui heard this, he became more alert.
Could it be that Uncle Zhang is a fool who can honestly write down the IOU? I don’t know how many things are indescribable. Although the Zhang family is not a famous family, it is also considered a rich gentry. Even if they deserve the crime, it is too easy to lose. After all, it is the power of power, which is enough to destroy the family.
Shen Ruiru is young this year and does not need to face the struggle of power. When he gets older, he will naturally have to face these things. If you want to live freely, you cannot get it by expressing your love to the mountains and rivers. Only by holding power in your hands can you not be afraid of power and threats; only by standing at a high place can you have more choices.
Even a person like Wang Shouren who is dedicated to being a saint must bend down to cater to the world and go on the imperial examination career. If you want to live freely and comfortably in the Ming Dynasty, you need to work harder.
Chen Quan didn't expect that Shen Rui would think of so many things at this time, and he was still talking about the Zhang family jokes.
"The Zhang family not only lost their homes, but also had a completely broken reputation. Both of their unmarried granddaughters were divorced. It would be difficult to turn over again in the future." Chen Quan said.
When Shen Rui heard this, he felt no sympathy at all. On the contrary, he was a little gloating. If the Zhang family had a way out, he would probably not dare to be in front of Shen Juren. Now that there is nothing left, it is difficult to eat without hugging the four families of the Shen family, they will depend on the four families of the Shen family. The young and old all take advantage of the Shen family to raise them. Even if they have hands and feet, they cannot bear the pain of self-reliance. The headache is that Zhang Lao'an, who is not facing his mother's family, and I don't know how she will "protect" her next.
Just thinking that he would follow Wang Shouren to leave Songjiang at the beginning of next spring, and the sky was high and birds were flying, Shen Rui was less gossipy and said to Chen Quan: "The old shopkeeper of the silk shop and the grocery store had been driven away long ago, and he was tortured by the Zhang family for several months. There was also a matter of changing the owner of the shop, so it would be a problem to run it. The third brother helped me pass the message to my aunt, and if these two business places could be collected, it would be more worry-free to rent the shop out to collect the rent in the future."
Chen Quan looked at Shen Rui in surprise and said, "You are so young that you think of these things?"
Shen Rui said: "I also realized it later. I'm afraid that it has made my aunt embarrassed these days."
Chen Quan hesitated for a moment and said, "My mother had told me not to tell you that the grocery store was fine, but the books were a little messy. Even after the second uncle of the Zongfang House was later, the second uncle had not yet sent the account. The previous deficit in the silk and satin workshop was large, and the third villa sent the account two months ago. Although they sent the contract back the two days ago, they also emptied the silk and satin in the warehouse and the shop. My mother was planning to take a look at the clan leader and the master of the clan."
Shen Rui shook his head and said, "It was thanks to the clan leader and the grandfather who made the decision before. It's not good to bother him anymore."
Even if those rooms are unkind, the root cause of the disaster is still the fourth family of the Shen family. Even the sect house has lost money and reputation. Does the clan leader really not mind?
Since the previous events have come to an end, it is not appropriate to cause trouble again.
After all, the third room had already returned the contract as promised, and he would care about the silks and look aggressive even if he was right.
Shen Rui thought for a while and said, "There are losses in each room, so it's hard to worry too much. My aunt and I will write a letter in hand and I will send it to my third brother."
Chen Quan said twice, "Hehe": "My father and I say the same, but my grandfather and my mother said that we can't indulge in evil, nor can we make Brother Rui suffer a loss, so we have to be serious."
After Shen Rui walked to the desk, hesitated for a moment, held the pen in his left hand and wrote a letter to Guo.
Chen Quan watched from the side. Seeing that although his writing was stiff, his running script was neat. There was a "Sunqian" at the beginning and the signature was "Yu Nie Rui Kou", he nodded. He was surprised that he was actually left-handed, so he advised: "My second brother Rui must start learning to write with his right hand in the future."
Shen Rui nodded and agreed, blew the letter dry, and handed it to Chen Quan.
After the two brothers finished speaking, they remembered that the carriage pulling the gift was still behind. Shen Rui did not take all the things to the bamboo courtyard as Guo told me, but instead pulled Chen Quan and went to find Zhike, and donated the rice, flour, sesame oil in the name of the fifth house of the Shen family. Although there were no offerings of indulgent oil, lotus lanterns, etc., there were amulets and Buddhist beads that had been opened by famous Zen masters, but it was hard to find a thousand gold.
For these donations, the guest presented a talisman and a string of sandalwood bracelets.
As for the gift given to Wang Shouren, Shen Rui asked Wang Shouren to come back and let Chen Quan give it to him personally. Chen Quan was unfamiliar with the reason, but saw Shen Rui's little face tense, so he obeyed his arrangement. Wang Shouren thoughtfully and looked at Shen Rui several times.
When Chen Quan went down the mountain, Wu Xuan went to the kitchen to have extra meals. The food in the Zen temple was clear and the food was not watery. Among the things Chen Quan sent, there were two jars of assorted seeds, which could be used when it was hot.
Wang Shouren looked at Shen Rui and said, "What do you mean that your brother is respectful to me?"
Shen Rui said: "Isn't it necessary to be respectful to Mr. Husband? It is also a blessing for my brothers from three clans."
When Wang Shouren heard this, he couldn't help but feel silenced. He smiled for a while and said, "What he said is exactly."
