peasant girl allure

Chapter 12
After Jingrui and Hu Daicai separated, they walked to another alley where Xiaoer was.After the two left, two people jumped off the roof in the original alley.

The tall young man in the rain-colored robe said to the equally tall, more handsome, and extravagant young man in the purple robe beside him, "That kid is quite smart, you can make a talent."

"Oh." The purple-clothed man answered without hesitation, and he didn't know whether he agreed or not.

Here, Shen Jingrui and Shen Xiaoer didn't stay in the town after meeting up, and hurried home.Back in the village, I cut some hogweed by the stream and took it home.

After lunch, Mr. Shen called everyone in the Shen family to go to the upper room, even Mrs. Liu, who was confinement, and said that he had something to say.

In the upper room, Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen Zhuang sat on the kang, Shen Yuzhu and Dafang's family sat on the left and right respectively, and people from the other rooms sat on stools on both sides of the kang.

Xiao'er was being hugged by Shen Chengyao, and Liu Shi was holding his younger sister and sitting under him. Jing Rui and Jing Hao stood behind them, Shen Jingjie from the fourth room was playing with Jing Hao, and Lu Shi sat next to Liu Shi and the two whispered softly. say.Fourth Uncle sat beside Lu Shi.

On the opposite side is the person in the second room.

From the formation of sitting, we can see the distance of closeness.

Mr. Shen didn't start talking until he saw everyone was present, and he talked a lot.The meaning in the words is probably: how hard I was when I was young, how I worked as a peddler in the streets and alleys, earned this family business, and even opened a grocery store.Then he talked about the hard work of the whole family, how they cut down on food and clothing, how those who were starving and cold provided the eldest grandson of the elder family to study, and how the eldest son must repay the younger brothers in the future.

"Father, everyone is a family who say that we will repay or not. We are all very happy to support our eldest brother and nephew." Shen Chengyao thought that old man Shen was worried that he would have opinions on Shen Jingwen's study, so he said.

He really has no objection to supporting his nephew to study, but he hopes that his wife and children can have enough food and clothing. Seeing his wife and children starve and suffer with him is very distressing, and he also imagined that he can support his son to study.

"That's right, Dad, brothers should support each other." Shen Chengzu hurriedly expressed his opinion.

These two big buns, Xiao'er sighed in her heart.The old man was able to turn a blind eye to such unfair treatment for so many years, and it was also thanks to these two buns.In fact, it is right to contribute to the prosperity of the family, but not by being mean to other descendants.I can pay for your studies, but I can't afford fine clothes and fine food. At least the cost of food and clothing needs to be on the same level as everyone else's.A family should be united, work together, share the blessings, and share the hardships.

Mr. Shen must have ulterior motives when he said these words today. Shen Jingwen is also a good student. At least 15-year-old Tongsheng is rare in the entire county. He probably will be a scholar soon. Yesterday Shen Chengguang and Shen Jingwen stayed in Shangfang and Shen The old man talked for a while, probably related to what he said today.Today, I deliberately mentioned the big house, and I will definitely repay others in the future, repay?Thinking of this, Xiao'er suddenly understood that the family was going to be separated. After the family was separated, Shen Jingwen became an official, and he was also a family. Wealth was shared, so why should we say anything in return?They want to separate the family before Zhongxiucai, so they don't lose their tongues.If this is the case, Xiao'er is looking forward to it, and the separation is a good thing for her.

"Father, just speak up if you have anything to say." Shen Chengzong has understood over the years that the old man's heart is boundless, so he will not believe that he will love his family.

Seeing Mr. Shen talking for a long time, Shen Zhuang's sons didn't understand his intentions, but misunderstood his meaning, and couldn't sit still: "You old man, you don't know what nonsense you are talking about for a long time, brother help me!" Isn’t it natural to help your elder brother? What are you talking about in return! Your father meant to separate the family, so don’t be fooled by him!”

"You ignorant woman, what are you talking about here!" Old man Shen glared at Shen Zhuang, he said that there must be his intentions for so many, he was not worried that other descendants would not understand his good intentions Do you think that the Dafang family wants to leave them alone to enjoy the wealth and honor!And this woman is dedicated to tearing things down, right? It's only natural!Is it possible to say this!What nonsense!
Split up?The following sons and daughter-in-laws were shocked.Shen Zhuang's likes to live with the whole family the most. They really never thought that the old man would take the initiative to propose a separation, and the daughters-in-law were equally shocked when they heard it, but they were more happy.To be honest, life under Shen Zhuang's nose is really hard.

"Father and mother, is there something wrong with your son?" Shen Chengyao reflected on whether his family had done anything wrong recently, but he couldn't think of anything else except that his wife didn't do housework because of confinement. This is the reason.His wife bears children for him. If he doesn't even have to sit in confinement, he still has to do this and that. If the root cause of the disease falls in the future, he himself will not be able to forgive himself.

"It's because our children are ignorant, what did they do to make you angry?" Shen Chengzu thought for a while, but he had no idea, so he could only think about his son.

"No, what are you thinking about? Dad knows that you are all good sons of Dad, and grandsons are all good grandsons. It's just that Dad has thought about it recently and thinks that the tree will branch when it grows. Our Shen family, old and young, add up to more than 20. People, living together will inevitably cause a lot of inconvenience, and it is easy to cause friction. If there is too much friction, the relationship will become thinner. I thought, while everyone is still close, we will split up first, and my father is also worried. In the future, Wen'er If you have the opportunity to become an official, the officialdom is dark, and villains are hard to guard against. If you are not careful, you may cause a catastrophe. If you divide the family, if it is not a serious crime, at least it will not implicate you, and our family will be counted. And You can also find ways to deal with it outside, instead of a pot, then there is really no way to ask for help. And as long as you have the heart, even if the family is separated, Wen'er can help everyone if he becomes an official. It can be done regardless of the separation of families. Think about it, is this the truth?"

After hearing this, everyone was silent, and they were all thinking about whether it is feasible to separate the family.

"You guys are my brothers even after the separation. I know how much my brothers have suffered for me for so many years. In the future, feel free to come to me if you have anything to do. If I can help, I will definitely help." Shen Chengguang saw no one Speak up and make promises.Of course, there is still a lot of room for what to say. First of all, I came to him, not Shen Jingwen who is an official. Second, I will definitely help if I can help. Whether I can help or not is not a matter of his words.

Xiao'er sneered when she heard this, if she could help if she could, it would be too watery, and she could just say "I can't do anything" in the future.

Old Master Shen was very satisfied when he heard this: "Father is also planning ahead, thinking a little farther, Wen'er is now a child, and I don't know how many years later it will be when he is a scholar, a scholar, a Jinshi, and an official. Ten years is considered early, 20 The year is still undecided, but the things in the world are not to be afraid of [-] but just in case, if we separate early, if something happens in the future, others will think that we have separated long ago, and the chance of being implicated will be less."After talking so much at once, his mouth was dry. After finishing speaking, Mr. Shen drank water on his own, letting his sons think for themselves.

"Father is doing it for our own good, I will listen to him." Shen Chengzong agreed without thinking.This morning, Mrs. Li brought back a news that his brother-in-law joined a caravan to do business in the north and south, and he made money. He only did it once, and invested 30 taels in it, and it tripled in the past two months. Earned 60 taels.He is going to follow suit. If there is no separation, he will have to hand over the money he earns in the future. If he does not hand in, he will have to sneak around, but if the family is separated, he can do a lot by himself, and all the money he earns is his own.So the separation of the family is a timely rain for him.

Shen Chengyao turned his head and asked Liu Shi: "My mother, what do you think?"

Of course Mrs. Liu wanted to split up. She didn't expect to be able to enjoy the blessings of being an official by the big house. She just wanted to have food and clothing for her children, so she said: "Father is very thoughtful." This is agreeing to split the family. up.

Mrs. Liu glanced at Mrs. Lu, and seeing the smiles in the other's eyes, she knew that she also wanted to separate.

Shen Chengzu also asked Lu's opinion, knowing that she also wanted to separate the family, so he asked Shen Chengyao, and Shen Chengyao himself thought about it, so he said: "We listen to Dad."

The brothers all agreed to separate the family, and the separation of the Shen family was officially established.Mr. Shen told about the family's shared property such as money, fields, shops, etc., and then mentioned the family division plan that he thought of last night, and asked everyone for their opinions.
