Chapter 1,724 Rejecting Han Qi and Returning Home in Fine Clothes

"Weng Weng asked me to bring you a message..."

Shen Bin looked at Shen An and lowered his head, "Weng Weng said...he was wrong."

The two families have not been in contact with each other in these years, not only because Shen An established his own business, but also because Shen Qiao was stubborn. Otherwise, as an elder, he should take the initiative to ask about the current situation of Shen An's brother and sister.

Shen Qiao actually admitted his mistake?

Shen An nodded and said, "I know about this, just settle down."

Shen Bin asked: "Brother, but over there in Xuzhou..."

Shen An stood up and said, "Before the Northern Expedition, I wanted to go to Xuzhou to visit my late mother's grave."

Shen Bin was overjoyed, "Thank you, brother."

Shen An nodded and said to Zhuang Zhen who came in: "Take him to the backyard later and let Zhuo Xue, Guo Guo and the children meet him."

Shen Bin was too old to just enter other people's backyards. Shen An made an exception and treated him as one of his own.

Shen Bin couldn't help but choked up when he thought of the gloom and gloom at home these past few days: "They said, brother, you will definitely be arrogant, but no!"

This is still a boy!

Shen An shook his head and smiled: "Let's have dinner together tonight."

"Mr. Lang, Prime Minister Han is here."

Chen Luo's voice came from outside, followed by Han Qi's laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

As soon as Han Qi's huge body came in, most of the light outside was blocked.

Hearing that the Prime Minister of the day was coming, Shen Bin stood nervously at the edge.

"Prime Minister Han is so happy, but there is good news?"

Shen An cupped his hands, and then they both sat down.

Seeing Shen Bin standing there not daring to raise his head, Han Qi asked, "That's..."

"He's a brother in the family."

Shen An asked someone to make tea, and Han Qi shook his head, "I'm busy! There's no need for tea. An Bei, your method is amazing this time. Officials are full of praise, and the political hall is also full of praise. I have a Things come together..."

Shen An smiled and said, "Mr. Han, please tell me."

He was ready to say no.

Han Qi stared at him and said, "I have many children in my family. How about one of you come up and be your disciple?"

Shen An frowned, and Han Qi said: "In the past few years, your methods have become more and more skillful. There is no smoke and fire. I act domineeringly in this life, but I am afraid of causing trouble to my descendants in the future. Anbei, if you can accept one person as a disciple, I will die." Feel at ease."

Han Qi actually wants the children at home to worship his cousin as his teacher? This is a great recognition!

Shen Bin was surprised and quietly raised his head.

Han Qi looked expectant, but Shen An looked calm, without any hint of joy.

"Although He said he had several disciples, Han quite knew that they all learned a lot on their own, and He was just giving guidance. The disciples who entered the house need to be taught every day, but He likes to be quiet."

This was very rude, and he directly rejected Han Qi's request.

Han Qi stared at him with an unkind expression.

Han Qi is so domineering!

Shen Bin couldn't help but start to worry about Shen An.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Han Qi suddenly laughed, and then asked: "In this case, in the future, my children and grandchildren can come and ask for advice, is it okay?"

Shen An was thinking.

Shen Bin was shocked to find that he was thinking seriously.

In other words, he was not even willing to give advice to Han Qi's descendants.

This discovery made him tremble with excitement.

This is the leader of the old Shen family!

The Shen family in Xuzhou had many speculations about Shen An, but who would have known that he would actually witness the prime minister of the current government pleading to Shen An almost like a solitary figure.

Shen An didn't like these entanglements of cause and effect, but thinking that Han Qi had offended countless people for the New Deal, he nodded slightly and said seriously: "Okay!"

Han Qi stood up and said happily: "A gentleman's words."

Shen An stretched out his hand, and Han Qi stretched out his hand.

Snapped!

After being slapped by Lao Han's bear paw, Shen An felt that his wrist was about to break.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Han Qi laughed and left, but Shen An just smiled bitterly.

Zhuang Laoshi came in and said, "Lang Jun, is this appropriate?"

Shen An said calmly: "Han Qi is worried that the old party will still be powerful after he leaves. When the time comes, his descendants will be powerless and will be implicated."

"Prime Minister Han is domineering, but he is so weak on the inside?" Zhuang Laoshi shook his head and sighed, thinking it was very strange.

Shen An said: "A ruthless man may not be a true hero. How can a pity for a son not be a husband!"

What a poem!

Shen Bin had just witnessed the conversation between his cousin and the current prime minister, and was shocked. Now when he heard these two lines of poetry, he couldn't help but secretly praise them.

He is indeed a cousin with both civil and military skills!

He was then taken to the back.

"I've met my sister-in-law."

Yang Zhuoxue smiled and gave the greeting gift.

But when it was Guoguo and Taro's turn, Shen Bin was a little confused and didn't have any gifts to give.

Yang Zhuoxue smiled and said: "Go and settle in front."

Shen An then submitted a memorial to ask for leave.

"He wants to go back to his hometown in Xuzhou to visit his grave?"

Zhao Shu smiled and then promised a holiday.

I’m going back to Xuzhou.

Guoguo was so excited that she rummaged around the room for gifts to give, and then went to look for new clothes.

Yang Zhuoxue has to be busier. As the head matron, she has to prepare gifts after finding out the population situation of the Shen family in Xuzhou.

Compared with Guoguo's, this is a serious gift.

Not returning home for more than ten years made the Shen brothers and sisters forget about Xuzhou and their relatives.

On a drizzly morning, the Shen family set out.

A string of carriages stopped in the alley, carrying not only the women and children of the Shen family, but also gifts from the trip.

Guoguo got on the carriage, and when she saw that she couldn't move, she opened the curtain and poked her head out, "Brother, when are you leaving?"

"immediately."

Shen An was telling Zhuang Laoshi something.

"If something happens, send someone to Xuzhou to report. Just looking at Yuanze, Zuo Zhen estimates that the birth is not far away."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang."

Shen An nodded, and then the convoy set off.

Along the way out of the city, a group of rural soldiers approached, and they would accompany them for protection.

…

"I don't know where Brother Bin is."

Recently, Shen Qiao likes to squat at the gate, look at the street, and then talk about it.

When an old man gets old, what he misses most is his grandson.

My son was a man who couldn't stand the storm, so he lay down after being deceived.

Now only his grandson is his greatest sustenance.

Several men appeared at the street corner. When Shen Qiao saw them, he wanted to go in.

"Sink the bridge!"

The men quickened their pace and ran over together.

"Where's so-and-so's money?"

"Shen Jian owes a certain person fifty guan. If he doesn't pay back to a certain person, he may sue the government!"

"And so-and-so."

"..."

After a dispute, Shen Qiao said with a haggard heart: "I'll give it to you later, just give it to you."

"How to give it?" A man sneered: "You didn't give the clerk in your grain store any wages, how can you give us money? Shen Qiao, stop talking nonsense and quickly pack your things at home..."

Shen Qiao raised his head, "What do you mean?"

The man said angrily: "Sell the house to pay off the debt!"

"right!"

Everyone looked at the Shen family's courtyard and felt a little moved.

This is a large house that is hundreds of years old. It has been renovated during the period and now it looks very interesting.

As the saying goes, the courtyard is deep, and many literati like this style.

For example, when you walk in, you will see moss on the blue bricks and slates. When you look up, you will see deep tiles...

At this moment, a distant artistic conception came to my face.

This is the beauty of the old house, as if the years are frozen in every plant, tree, brick and tile.

"The houses in Xuzhou are not valuable, but if you sell this one, you can always get three to five hundred yuan."

"Not for sale!" The ancestral home cannot be sold for anything. This has been a rule for many years.

“If you don’t sell it, you’ll get a lawsuit!”

Everyone sneered and left.

Later, the matter was brought to the attention of the Si Li Yuan, and Chen Song, the Si Lijun, was a little scratched his head.

"Pay back your debt!"

He finally sent a clerk to the Shen family.

When the clerk came back, he said vividly: "The clerk from the grain store was begging for wages from the Shen family. Shen Qiao went to find family members' jewelry and sold them, so he paid the wages."

"If a tree falls, the monkey will scatter!" Chen Song shook his head, "The Shen family will not have any good consequences. If this matter is handled fairly, even if Shen An thinks that the Shen family is a relative in the future, he will not be able to catch someone's fault."

"Go ahead."

The clerk took two government servants to Shen's house.

This is preparation for arraignment.

All the way to the outside of Shen's house in the west of the city, the yamen officer was about to shout when he heard someone shouting from the street: "There are so many carriages."

The administrative seat of Xuzhou is in Pengcheng, and all the officials and officials in Pengcheng know very well, so when they heard that there were many carriages, the officials waved their hands to signal everyone to wait.

The temper of the boss is unclear, and some don't like to make trouble. If you bang on the door here, you will offend him without any reason.

"Yeah! Come in!"

Late autumn is a time of rest for many people. The idlers are wandering around, and when they see a group of carriages coming in, they feel that they have found fun.

"Which house are you going to?"

"Hey! Don't talk?"

The motorcade came slowly, led by two men with sabers.

The two government officials were a little confused when they saw it, so they asked, "How about this?"

The clerk whispered: "We can't afford to offend a convoy escorted by men with swords, so stand aside!"

The three of them stood leaning against the wall, observing the motorcade with wandering eyes.

Someone in the carriage in front opened the curtain, and then a young man jumped out. His body staggered, then turned around and said with a smile: "Brother, we're here."

"It's Shen Bin!" The clerk knew the young man. He shook his head slightly and motioned to the two government officials not to move.

A rider came from behind.

The clerk whispered: "Who is this person?"

The officer shook his head.

This is Xuzhou, which is a rural place compared with Bianliang. Naturally, the government officials do not know the noble people.

The man dismounted, glanced at the clerks and government officials, and said, "Let me get off the horse."

"yes."

A plump woman came down first from behind. The woman had an indifferent expression and stood upright. Just one look at her sent shivers down the clerk's spine.

"This woman... doesn't come from an ordinary family."

People at the bottom cannot afford to offend noble people, so they must have a pair of discerning eyes.

The woman went to the carriage behind, whispered a few words, and then opened the curtain.

Two women came down one after another, followed by two children.

Shen Bin knocked on the door.

"who?"

The voice inside sounded a little timid.

"It's someone!"

The door opened, and a head popped out. When he saw it was Shen Bin, he turned around happily and shouted, "The young man is back."

When he saw the group of people behind him again, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then came out to salute, "Dare I ask..."

This was an old servant. He looked at these people and suddenly rubbed his eyes, tears streaming down his face. "Yes... yes... but Brother An?"

Shen An glanced inside and saw an old man coming out with a group of people. He smiled and nodded.

The old servant turned around and ran away, stumbling and shouting: "Alang! Alang! Brother An is back! Brother An is back!"

The group of people quickened their pace, and Shen An turned around and said, "Peace of mind."

This is the return of the Shen brothers and sisters after they left Xuzhou for more than ten years.

The clerks and government servants outside the door wished they could shrink into a ball and not let Shen An's people find them.

But a country soldier came over and asked, "What are you doing here?"

The clerk forced a smile and said, "This villain is here...as sent by the superior officer."

The soldier nodded, "I won't embarrass you because of official business, just go in."

What he said was very honest, but the little official felt a hint of ferocity and quickly said with a smile: "I don't dare, I will go back now."

"stop!"

As soon as he turned around, the soldier said: "Explain the matter clearly, and my husband will make the decision later."
