Shen Kun’s son is Chen Wei. He and Yu Lao’an have raised a total of four children. The son is Shen Kun, Chen Fang, and the daughter is Shen Derong and Shen Dezhen.

There is no need to introduce Yu Lao'an. He is Chen Wei's wife and is now the ancestor with the highest generation and most transcendent status of the Shen family.

Among the four siblings, the most famous one is the top scholar Shen Kun, but he was an official in the capital and also bought property in the capital. He brought his wife, concubines and daughters to live in the capital, leaving his son Chen Xi to study in the mansion.

The purpose of leaving Chen Xi at home was to keep him away from the prosperous fireworks place in the capital, so as not to be unwilling to study. Besides, the custom of having parents in ancient times and not traveling far away, the old lady liked to guard the old house, and Chen Xi was considered to take care of the elders for her father.

It is easy to understand that your daughter stays by your side, and mothers can teach you that there are princes and nobles everywhere in the capital, so it is convenient to find a good husband.

Chen Fang is the second master of Chen Mansion. His eldest brother went to Beijing to be an official. He had already passed the imperial examination for the Jinshi. He was in Hexia while respecting his elder mother, guarding his ancestral property, and assisting in educating the next generation;

Shen Derong married Zhang Kan, and his youngest sister Shen Dezhen married a scholar named Du Youwei.

In terms of wives and concubines, Shen Kun has a family member Gu, concubine Lin and Wang. Chen Fang is not as good as the eldest brother in the imperial examination, but he has a much better victory in marrying a wife. In addition to the family member Cui and Hong, there are also concubines such as Lin, Li and Zhang.

These are the basic situations of the Shen family. Shen Kun's generation is quite simple, but those of the same generation as Shen Wen are much more complicated.

After briefly introducing the adult, the old lady pointed to a fat man with a tiger head and brain and said, "Brother Wen, this is your uncle's son Chen Xi, two years younger than you. You should call him his cousin."

Unexpectedly, this most inconspicuous little fat man is the most prominent second-generation official and second-generation rich. Shen Wen hurriedly said, "Hello, cousin."

Chen Xi looked at Shen Wen with some displeasure, flattened his mouth and said, "Hello Brother Wen."

In the Shen Mansion, Chen Xi was originally the oldest and the eldest among his siblings. Now, a Shen Wen, who is older than him, suddenly appeared. The fat man Chen Xi said he was very unhappy.

The old lady did not notice the face of her eldest grandson Chen Xi and continued to introduce: "These two are the sons of your second uncle. The older one is Chen Hui and the younger one is Shen Lang."

"Brother Wen, you are finally back. Grandma has been remembering you a lot and often reminds us that we have the opportunity to find our lost relatives. Look, after you come back, grandma is so happy that she has never closed her mouth." Before Shen Wen could say hello, Chen Hui rushed to say.

"You monkey, you can speak." The old lady cursed with a smile.

Chen Hui quickly bowed to the old lady and said, "Grandma, I'm right. You also taught us brothers and sisters to unite and help each other and strive to shine the family for the Shen family."

"Yes, we not only need to help each other, but also work hard to study, serve the country, and shine for the Shen family." Shen Lang also agreed.

"Okay, okay, you must remember that you can't write two words "shen" in one stroke. Blood is thicker than water. You must unite and help each other. Only then can Shen be strong and not bullied. Do you understand?" the old lady taught earnestly.

The following grandchildren all responded to the words.

"This is Chen Jie, he is the son of your second uncle and second aunt Hong."

"This is Chen Xiaodie, she is the daughter of your second uncle and second aunt Lin."

"This is Chen Xu, he is the son of your uncle and Aunt Zhang."

"This is Zhang Yucai, he is your aunt Derong's son"

"This is Du Mingjian, he is the son of your aunt Dezhen."

......

Although the old lady is old, she has a good memory and every grandchildren recognize her. She introduces one, and Shen Wen asks him, and sometimes she chats a few words. After introducing her, it takes half an hour for the whole family to introduce her.

In ancient times, there was no family planning, and men were allowed to marry three wives and four concubines. There were many descendants. Shen Wen counted that Shen Kun had one son and two daughters in Chen Xi, but Chen Fang was very powerful. The five wives had four sons and five daughters, and there were 12 of them. The daughters married to the Shen family were sent to the Chen Mansion for enlightenment after giving birth to a son. In this way, more than ten of them were of the same generation as Shen Wen.

The Shen family has produced the top scholar, the top scholar. It is the Wenqu Star in the sky who descended to earth, which shows that the family's feng shui is good. Shen Derong and Shen Dezhen, who got married, also sent their son back to their parents' home to study.

Not to mention anything else, the teachers hired by the Shen family are all famous scholars. As a Jinshi, Shen Fang often teaches himself that Shen Kun is an official in the capital, but he returns at least once a year, either for the old lady’s birthday party or for the New Year. He has to go home to visit his old mother. Every time he comes back, he will go to the school run by Shen to give advice.

The first emperor personally gave advice, that was a treatment that even if you have money, you would not be able to buy.

For example, the side families who were married to Shen Kun and Shen Fang also found ways to send their parents' children to study here, so there were more than 20 people in the Shen Mansion and Shen Wen.

With so many people, the house where Chen Mansion is four times in the distribution are a bit short of distribution.

Shen Wen saw it very accurately. Although the old lady is kind and friendly, it is difficult to achieve evenly splitting rain and dew. Even the same father is a son and a legitimate wife. Not to mention the girls, among so many children, Chen Xi, Chen Hui, Shen Lang, and Zhang Yucai have the highest status.

Needless to say, Chen Xi is the top scholar and the eldest son and grandson of the Shen family. He has a unique status in the Shen family. Chen Hui and Shen Lang are the sons of Chen Cuisheng, the main wife of Chen Fang. They are handsome and able to speak, and can please the old lady very much. Besides, Chen Fang is the head of Chen Fang, so these two brothers also benefit.

As for Zhang Yucai, although his surname is Zhang, his son Zhang Kan is a clerk in the criminal department and serves as an official at the same time as Shen Kun.

After recognizing someone and saying hello, Shen Wen was so angry that he was dry. As soon as he sat down and wanted to have tea, Chen Fang said, "Nephew, what are your plans now?"

"Second uncle, I don't know either." Shen Wen said helplessly: "Now I can't get home, so I can only see you."

Chen Fang nodded and continued to ask, "Nephew, have you ever been to school?"

"No," Shen Wen said embarrassedly: "The family is too poor and I can't afford to pay for the slap. However, I have loved studying since I was a child. When I have time, I secretly ran to the private school in the village to eavesdrop. The old man is very nice and he doesn't even rush me to see it. After a while, I know a lot of words, but... I can't write it."

In the Shen family, people can be laughed at by saying that they are illiterate, but they can be said to be aware of many traditional Chinese characters. It is better to be humble.

Chen Fang asked a question at this time, probably because he wanted to resettle himself. Before coming to Shen Wen was thinking that it was not a problem to enter the Chen Mansion, but now he saw that the seemingly grand Chen Mansion has many people living there. Everyone is more important than himself, and he feels upset, so be cautious when answering.

Even if he couldn't live here, Shen Wen was not discouraged. He followed behind and was busy. When he arranged an errand, he said that he could read a book and maybe he could have a good errand.

Think about everything in the best and make plans in the bad.

"Do you know what the plaque is written on it?" Chen Fang asked, pointing to the sign on the island pavilion.

Shen Wen immediately replied: "I know, there are two big words "Dao Pavilion" written on it."

"Where are the couplets on the characters on both sides?"

"The first couplet is the breeze blowing on my face, and I smile at the beauty of the world. The second couplet is the bright moon shining on my people, and I enjoy the freedom of the world." Shen Wen said immediately.

Hey, it’s amazing, like Fu and Jinxiu, these words are difficult to write. I didn’t expect that my nephew, even if he eavesdrops, he knew so many words. He could read and not write them. It was probably because his family was not well off and he didn’t have money to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones, but this was already amazing.

Hearing this, Chen Fang was also secretly moved.

At the age of Shen Wen, many people have already taken the exam for scholars or juren, but Shen Wen has not yet entered a private school and is too behind others. Chen Fang plans to arrange an errand for him to make a living. Unexpectedly, Shen Wen has never studied and knows so many words.

If he is so smart, he can still try his best to get into school.

Chen Fang turned his head to look at my mother, and saw the old lady nodding slightly.

This is what left Shen Wen.

"Nephew, you are the child of my Shen family. Now your family is in trouble and you can't return home when you have time. Why don't you stay here? Don't you like studying? Just study with Xiaohui and the others. Our Shen family has run its own school, called Pingyuanshan Hall. You can read with peace of mind to see if you can get a good fortune and comfort your deceased father's spirit in heaven. I really can't read it. Then the second uncle will make arrangements for you. What do you think?"

Finally hugged his thighs tightly, Shen Wen's heart moved and said without hesitation: "Uncle Xie Er."
