Shen Yi comforted Mr. Lu for a while, and then the little old man's mood slowly calmed down.桘
Over the years, Mr. Shen has come into contact with many people, and each of these people has a different view of the political situation of this era.
Some people want to be content with the status quo.
Although another group of people did not say it explicitly, they already had some intention of surrendering, such as Yang Jingzong and Prime Minister Yang, who had always been gentle towards the Northern Qi Dynasty.
However, relatively many people still linger on in the north.
Especially Lu Anshi's generation.
When Mr. Lu was born, it was not long after Sejong's southern voyage. His fathers followed Emperor Sejong's southern voyage.
Although most of the group of people who originally crossed south are gone, it does not hinder the "radicals" like Lu Anshi who were influenced by their fathers.桘
But what I have to say is that Shen Yi has met many radicals and many "angry youths", but others are definitely not as excited as Mr. Lu.
After comforting the little old man, Shen Yi went to Lu Ruoxi's boudoir to rest. The next morning, because he slept well, Shen Yi got up early. After breakfast, he went to see Mr. Lu.
"Father-in-law, it's okay to hide things at home. My son-in-law has to go home and deal with them."
Lu Anshi was doing Wu Qin Xi at the moment, which was part of his morning exercises. After hearing Shen Yi's words, he stopped his movements, first said "hmm", and then nodded: "Speak to your family and don't get too angry. "
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I was still a little angry last night, but now I'm a lot less angry."
"Qingque and Yuan'er, I won't take them back. I'll let them rest in the academy and stay with you, old man."
"Okay."桘
Master Lu nodded and said with a smile: "I like this child Yuan'er very much. In a few years, when he grows up, if I am still alive at that time, you and your wife will send him back to the academy. I will give him to you." He is enlightened."
Shen Yi bowed to thank him, then left the academy, got on Jiang Sheng's carriage, and entered Jiangdu Fucheng all the way, stopping at the entrance of the Shen family mansion.
Mr. Shen got off the carriage, looked up at the plaque of Shen's house, and walked in.
Most of the people in the Shen family mansion recognized him as a "fourth-grade official" of the current dynasty. After seeing him, they all bowed their heads and looked respectful.
"Seventh Young Master."
"Seventh Young Master..."
Shen Yi nodded slightly in greeting. As soon as he walked to the front yard of the Shen family's mansion, he saw some servants clearing away tables and chairs. It was probably the battlefield where the banquet was held last night.
Shen Yi stopped a servant and asked, "Where is my son Chang, where will he sleep?"
This man quickly lowered his head and said: "Seventh Young Master, Ninth Young Master drank too much last night and is still awake."
Shen Yi said "hmm" and said, "Go and inform the eldest master and tell him that I want to see him."
This time the man nodded quickly and ran all the way to report.
Shen Yi stood there and waited for a while, then his third brother Shen Ling walked out of the inner courtyard and greeted Shen Yi from a distance.
"Lao Qi..."
Shen Yi stepped forward, raised his hands and saluted: "Third brother."
In the first two years, Shen Ling followed Shen Yi to do some "small business" in Jiankang. Shen Yi promised him that he could earn ten thousand taels of silver a year, and he did keep it.
However, Shen Ling didn't have any big ambitions. After making money for two years, he felt that he had almost made enough money. In addition, his relationship with his father Shen Hui had eased a lot. Last year, that is, Hong De In the second half of ten years, I returned to Jiangdu and settled down.
Among the current second generation of the Shen family, the one who has a close relationship with Shen Yi, except for his brother Shen Heng, is Shen Ling.
After seeing Shen Ling, Shen Yi showed a smile on his face. He first said a few polite words, and then asked: "Third brother, is uncle at home?"
"Yes, why aren't you here?"
Shen Ling coughed, looked at Shen Yi and walked aside, and whispered: "Dad, he is a little unhappy. When you see him later, Lao Qi, if he makes a fuss about you, you must give in to him... "
Shen Ling lowered his head slightly and sighed: "If you are really angry, then you will be angry with the third brother. Afterwards, the third brother will give you a beating to vent your anger..."
He was afraid that Shen Yi would fall out with his father.
No one else knows about the current influence of his seventh brother. Shen Ling, who has lived in Jiankang's Shen residence for two years, knows it all too well!
You know, as long as Shen Yi returns to Jiankang, he will have to go to the palace to meet the saint every now and then!
He was worried that Shen Yi would anger his old father.
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said helplessly: "Who does third brother think I am?"
He asked: "Uncle, why was you angry yesterday?"
"Because you didn't come back for the family dinner."桘
Shen Ling had no choice but to lower his eyebrows and said, "What's more important is that on the first day you returned to Jiangdu, you didn't go back to live with the Shen family."
"The little old man is very stubborn. I feel in my heart that you, Seventh, look down on our Shen family."
Shen Yi frowned subconsciously.
Master Lu's influence in the officialdom and the officialdom is indeed greater than that of the entire Shen family in Jiangdu.
It was obvious that Shen Hui was thinking wrongly.
Shen Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Third brother, just take me to see my uncle."
Shen Ling nodded helplessly, and he led Shen Yi all the way to the main hall of the Shen family. At this time, Shen Hui, whose hair was mostly white, was sitting in the main hall, drinking tea with his head down.
Mr. Shen stepped forward, bowed his hands and said, "My nephew Shen Yi, pay homage to my uncle."
Shen Hui was still drinking tea. Shen Ling beside him was so anxious that he kept winking at his father. After Shen Hui took a deep breath, he said: "The seventh man is back."
"Sit down."
Shen Yi sat down unceremoniously.
"I heard that uncle... was a little unhappy yesterday."
He went straight to the point without any detours.
Shen Hui's temper was not very good to begin with, but when he saw what he said, he became even more angry and said: "Old Qi, you are busy with work, so forget it if you can't come to the family banquet. Why did Lian Zu You won’t come back to live in the house?”桘
He looked at Shen Yi with a rather unhappy tone.
"If the neighbors and folks in Jiangdu know about it, why don't they laugh at our Shen family?"
Shen Yi looked calm. He looked at Shen Hui and said, "Uncle, the ancestral home is not the home of our father and son."
This ancestral home belongs to the eldest son Shen Hui's family.
As the fourth child, Shen Zhang only had a small courtyard, and it was not next to Shen's house, but not too far away.
Brothers Shen Yi and Shen Heng depended on each other and grew up in that small courtyard, not in the Shen family's ancestral home.
"My father and Zichang stayed at the ancestral home last night and did not return home. If the neighbors find out, will they be said to have forgotten their roots?"
"Also, what uncle said about the family dinner."
Shen Yi took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, placed it in front of Shen Hui, and said slowly: "My nephew, I asked someone to find it."
"Recently, several people have given benefits to my nephew's elder brothers, asking them to entrust my nephew to do things."
Shen Yi pointed to the handwriting on the paper and said, "Just from what my nephew heard about, there were three people who took advantage of it."
"Yesterday's family dinner, there were more than a dozen tables and hundreds of people. My nephew doesn't know how many people took advantage of others and worked for others."
"But I think it will never be just these three."
Shen Yi looked at Shen Hui and said slowly: "Uncle, how can I come back to eat this meal?"
Shen Hui glanced at the paper in front of him, and was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red.
He said with some embarrassment.
"The largest one is a hundred households. For you, Lao Qi, isn't it just a matter of words?"
Hearing Shen Hui's words, Shen Yi's face suddenly looked a little ugly.
After taking a few deep breaths, he slowly spoke.
"That's my nephew's own ability."
He glanced at the white paper in front of him and said coldly.桘
