After two consecutive days of drinking, Shen Rui got up a little late the next day. When he finished washing, Liu Ya had already taken the food box from the kitchen, her face was pale and her mind was dazed.

"What's wrong?" Dong Xi took the box and asked with concern: "The woman in the kitchen makes it difficult for you?"

Liu Ya shook her head and said with a white face: "I heard that the orchid in the study was hit by a board just now and was dragged out and moved out just now."

When winter heard this, he was surprised. What was the reason for being a human being? Not only did he beat the board, but he even had to drive out the person out. It was obvious that it was not a trivial matter.

Shen Rui heard that the name Lancao sounded familiar, and after thinking about it, he remembered which one it was. He was the one who bullied Liu Ya in Lao'an's yard. Later, he served by him for more than a month. He was pretty but a little frivolous. He seemed to have an intention to Chen Jin at that time, but later he went to work as a study.

After Shen Rui returned to Chen's house, he encountered Lancao. He was still dressed as a girl, but his eyebrows were dispersed and his chest was tall, which was obviously a woman's figure. Shen Rui had despised Chen Juren's eyes at that time. This Lancao bullied the lower and charmed the superiors, and also hooked up with Chen Jin. He was frivolous and vulgar. Chen Juren's eyes were really not very good when he picked women.

Was hit the board just after dawn?

Thinking of Zheng's attack in the study last night, Chen Juren finally made an increasingly speechless argument. This orchid was probably irritated by Chen Juren.

Shen Rui just heard it and saw that Liu Ya was not happy. Instead, he was a little worried. He knew that she was afraid of hearing the matter of hitting the board, so he comforted him: "What do you do outside? Look at how many people the master has beaten the board, it must be that Lancao has violated the ban. Don't worry, as long as I am here, the board will not hit you again."

Liu Ya nodded vigorously, and a little bloody color finally returned to his face.

Because today is the birth of Amitabha Buddha, there is a big temple fair in the south city. Shen Rui had already told Chen Jue that he would go to the temple fair in the afternoon. Dong Xi packed a new wallet for Shen Rui, including a few house tickets, two taels of silver, five taels of silver, and ten taels of rice. He also took two pieces of broken silver, two shreds of money, and put them in a blue cloth purse. This was brought by Liu Cheng.

"It would be fine if I didn't enter the Buddhist temple. If my second brother entered the Buddhist temple, don't forget to burn incense." Dong Xi said while hanging a purse for Shen Rui.

Nowadays, the incense in temples is not white, but this is the same as five hundred years later. After burning incense, you have to pay some incense and oil for no matter how much it is. It is different from the straightforward and explicit price tags in later generations. At this time, even if the poor family only gives a penny, the novice monk in the temple can warm up like spring. The so-called "sentient beings throughout their lives" is nothing more than this, which is also the reason why the believers in poor families remain unchanged.

Shen Rui glanced at Liu Ya, who was still in a daze next to him, and glanced at her feet.

No wonder she was frightened when she heard the board. The twelve-year-old girl was broken by her legs. How could she not carve her fear into her bones?

"The aunt next door and Sister Fu are going to burn incense today. They should have followed many people. You took Liu Ya and followed him to see the fun." Shen Rui said to Dong Xi.

However, Dong Xi did not ask for permission. Liu Ya and the other two left by themselves. Even if they were maids, they had been kept in the house for the past few years. They were beautiful and gentle, and they were young and youthful. No one would protect them and could be teased by the gangsters.

Dong Xi was moved when she heard this, and Liu Yao was beside her and her eyes lit up.

However, when Dong Xi was worried that if both of them went out, there would be only Xiaotao and Xiaoxing, two little girls, Dong Xi was worried and hesitated: "Why would you let Liu Ya take Xiaotao and leave the maid to look at the yard?"

Shen Rui laughed and said, "What are the valuables in this room? Are you afraid that people will touch it? You just need to lock the money box. Even if someone is not clean, you will not dare to pick the lock." Speaking of this, when he thought of Dong Xi, Liu Ya and his two jewelry hairpins and rings, he said, "It's your thing, so you must lock it. Don't let someone take the opportunity to touch it."

Dongxi mentioned looking at the yard, but because she was afraid that the little girls would not be able to stop them, she let the people outside come in.

Whether it is a maid in Lao'an or a maid in a study, Shen Rui should stay away from him. The former is a sister of the Zhang family. If he brought something from his daughter's house in, he would not be able to explain the scenery clearly in the future. Even if the maid in the study is not named, he would be mostly taken over by Chen Juren, and Shen Rui, who is the son, should avoid suspicion.

Unexpectedly, Shen Rui directly treated everyone else as a thief, so Dong Xi did not dare to answer the conversation.

Liu Ya was shocked: "It's not like this, right?"

Shen Rui also thought of this incident temporarily, but after thinking about it carefully, it was really the same.

It has been half a month since I came back, and no matter Zhang Lao'an or Chen Juren, they will come to explore his own bottom. This is what Zhang Lao'an wants to win over Liu Ya, but if you don't get anything useful, you will probably have to take the next step. Chen Juren has a small ceremony, so you should prepare a betrothal gift next.

Although Songjiang’s wedding custom is a heavy dowry, this betrothal gift cannot be missed.

Usually, both families will communicate secretly, so that the man knows how much dowry the woman has. The man’s betrothal gift is prepared according to 50% of the woman’s dowry. If the man makes face to the woman, there will be a betrothal gift. The woman’s kind families will also adjust the dowry according to the extra betrothal gifts.

In this way, there is a way to take advantage of the famine to prepare a betrothal gift and then earn a wealthy dowry.

From the perspective of laws and regulations, this dowry is the private property of a woman, and the in-laws' family has no right to deal with it. However, how can the couple live at home and how can they distinguish between them so clearly?

Whether for the sake of good looks or for the sake of "profit" after face, there will be no shortage of betrothal gifts. Chen Jin's income from the industry is in his hands, and it would be strange if Shen Rui's share is left.

I'm afraid Chen Li had already seen through Chen Juren's behavior, so he would do the act of "borrowing silver".

When Shen Rui thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This Chen Juren is really not a smart person. He lost watermelon and picked up sesame seeds. With Sun's great kindness towards Chen Li, as long as Chen Juren shows that his wife and son value it, he can get Chen Li's favor, and the fifth house will be closer to him. But he made the good situation like this now, and everyone was disgusted with the defense.

It is Zheng's family, and uncle Zheng has been promoted to the sixth rank magistrate. For the Shen family, the sixth rank official is nothing, but for the fourth rank, the juren family, the weight is no longer clear. If the juren Chen does not seek the dowry of his stepwife and straightens the Zheng family, then uncle Zheng will definitely take the 4th robber for his sister and nephew.

Chen Juren was also very considerate, but he had a high vision and felt that he was a sixth-rank official who was leaning against the Shen family. Because the Zheng family was in a downturn in his early years, Zheng Xiaoxiao was given a confession through the care of the Shen family, and there was no room for loud voices in front of the Shen family.

When he arrived at the clan school, Shen Rui sent the coachman back and told him not to come to pick him up in the afternoon. He asked Liu Cheng to give him a piece of silver.

The coachman was honest and refused to ask for anything, just saying that he was afraid of being punished by the eldest lady. He picked up Shen Rui for half a month, and was the coachman of Guo. Since he changed to a new carriage, he became Shen Rui's special coachman. Not only did he have a heavy life than before, but he had fewer opportunities to give money. If it were others, he would have been dissatisfied, but this man was stupid and still drove the bus honestly.

Shen Rui said: "There is a temple fair today, so I will buy snacks for Ermao."

The coachman has two sons. The eldest is a servant beside Chen Quan, and the second is a little hairy head with a snot. Shen Rui once met him and asked Dong Xi to pack dim sum twice, so he asked the coachman to take him back.

The coachman wanted to refuse again, Shen Rui waved his hand and turned around to take Liu Cheng into the clan school.

The rules of the servant represent the master's quality; life in the fifth house is booming, and it is not without reason.

Comparing four rooms with five rooms, it is a scumbag. Zhang Lao'an and Chen Juren seem harsh, and they always use beating boards to punish their subordinates. However, the servants and maids are lazy and fooling their superiors and conceal their subordinates, and rely on their power to do everything. They can be called "crazy slaves".

After entering the school, Shen Rui looked around and found that Chen Jue was not there until the bell of class was about to ring, and he was late.

When it was time for class break, everyone got together in groups of three or three, talking about going to the temple fair in the afternoon.

However, Chen Jue was still sitting in his seat, tilting his chin, not knowing what he was thinking. Shen Huan was next to him and attracted him to speak. He was also weak, and he was not a match.

Seeing this, Shen Rui was a little worried and stepped forward and said, "What's wrong with Brother Jue? But he is uncomfortable?"

Chen Jue was talking about the temple fair, but he was talking about some days. When he was separated yesterday, he emphasized this matter specifically, so that Shen Rui would not have to bring refreshments today and would take him to the temple fair to have delicious food. Today, he is so naughty, he doesn't look like Chen Jue anymore.

Chen Jue glanced at him, yawned and said, "There is nothing on his body. I didn't rest until I rested last night. I just felt my head was heavy. I'll just wait for a while."

Shen Rui saw that the corners of his eyes were blue, and he really looked like he was not having a good rest, but for some reason, he always felt that Chen Jue's glance just now seemed to have a deep meaning.

But in front of everyone, Chen Jue didn't say anything, and Shen Rui didn't ask questions, so he kept it in his heart.

When the second class passed, the afternoon break came, and the students were full of excitement, and they went to the temple fair with their arms around each other.

Chen Huan had already taken the task at home and wanted to take his younger brother from the Mengtong class to play, so he said goodbye to Chen Jue and Shen Rui and went to the west wing to pick up his younger brother.

Chen Jue lay down for a class, and he was considered to be a little energetic and no longer as depressed as he had seen before.

After getting on the carriage, Chen Jue looked at Shen Rui resentfully and said, "It's all Brother Rui. I was so tired that I was sleepy yesterday. The genius in the fourth update closed his eyes."

When Shen Rui heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Where do you start with this? Wasn't you okay when you separated yesterday?"

Chen Jue yawned and said, "It's because of you, not just me, but also my parents are not at ease."

Shen Rui was confused when he heard this, but Chen Jue didn't make any jokes about his parents, so he frowned and thought, "Is it because my master wants to renew his marriage? Is the eldest uncle unhappy?"

"The son is good to teach me." Chen Jue nodded and said, "This is the first time I saw my mother getting angry, and I was really shocked. My father is so, why should I participate in your family's affairs? Just as my mother said, she has always had a good relationship with Aunt Yuan. If Uncle Yuan renews the outside, her aunt can still protect you and make decisions for you and prevent you from being bullied. If there is a dispute, she will avoid suspicion and help you to explain no matter which end."
