Shen Chu remembered that this place was a restaurant. Scholars often came to this small gathering to recite poems. Xiuzhu even named himself Lantinglou.

It was the first time for Shen Chu to come here. After all, the layout was not affordable for ordinary people at first glance. Most of the people who came here were the children of nobles, or a few were introduced because of their outstanding talents and knowledge.

Laibao lowered his voice behind the screen, "Master, Mr. Shen is here."

A shadow of a hand waved behind the screen, and a solemn voice came, "Mr. Shen, come in."

Laibao leaned back and closed the door, and the two beautiful kabuki outside the screen continued to play and sing without any interruption, as if they were used to the scene.

Shen Chu turned the screen and saw Wang Leduan sitting behind a desk with a chessboard in front of him.

He sat directly opposite Wang Le and said, "I don't know what advice Wang Gongzi asked for when he came here?"

Wang Le raised his eyebrows to look at him, and said with a smile, "Mr. Shen, why bother to be so alien, we are still cousins ​​after all—"

Shen Chu complained in his heart, hehe, cousin? !Really laughing out loud, this Wang family can't even look at the family name of Ningyuan Hou Shen's family, how could they ever look at their mother and son, maybe they feel that their existence is only shameful, let alone recognize this cousin.Shen Chu felt that this was really the best joke he had heard recently——

"Young Master Wang is joking, Shen does not dare to climb high, and I hope that Young Master Wang will speak directly."

Wang Le chuckled, "In that case, then I'll cut to the chase. I heard that Zhu Zi's version of "The Great Learning" was passed down from you. I will buy it out with you for 100 taels of gold. In the future, you will have Zhu Zi's version of "The Doctrine of the Mean" "Mencius" and "The Analects of Confucius", I bought them out at the same price as you, and you can't spread them outside."

Shen Chu felt that Wang Le was here to make fun of it, so he kept telling jokes to tease him, "100 taels? Hehe, there are so many scholars in Bianjing, and I can receive more than 100 taels. Buy it out for 100 taels of gold?"

"Besides, this Zhuzi commentary is just a family opinion. Why does the second son of the king insist on arbitrariness? Confucius changed his private school into a public school, and his disciples were 72 virtuous. Could it be that later generations will keep their knowledge hidden?"

Wang Le lost his temper and lost his calm and hypocritical face just now, and said with a sneer, "Heh, don't tell me you're not insulting gentlemen just to earn those hundred taels of gold and thousands of taels of silver without doing anything?"

"I can sit here and have a good discussion with you. You should accept it as soon as you see it. If you don't agree, and don't look at it, it's up to you to fight me!"

Shen Chu was aroused with a rare temper, and snorted coldly with the aura of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, "Then let's see if I, Shen Chu, am afraid of you, Second Young Master Wang and the Wang family behind you!"

After finishing speaking, he walked away, feeling very happy in his heart.The three of them, mother and son, have been bullied by Xiao Wang for many years, and he feels happy to let this Wang suffer.The sound of Wang Le smashing the chessboard in a hurry came from behind, which made Shen Chu even more happy.

Coming out of the main entrance of the Lanting Building, there are people coming and going on the street. From time to time, there are black-covered boats passing by on the Xiacai River. Lanterns are hung on the boats. In the dark night, they are like lights floating in the river, or stop here, or flow to the unknown. far away.

Mao Tuan's voice in his head said, "Are you really not afraid of the Wang family behind Wang Le?!"

Shen Chu walked in the direction of going home, patted his chest in a corner where no one was paying attention, and said, "I'm so scared to death?! With such a fragile egg like me, how dare I go head-to-head with the Wang family's mountain."

"However, I am happy to see the Wang family suffer, not to mention being the nephew of the little Wang family. I will be even happier if I can make the little Wang family suffer!"

Head Mao sighed, "I thought you had some kind of plan, but it turned out that it was just a quick trick—"

Shen Chu was at a loss for words, and pretended to say, "What does it mean to be quick for a while! I have been living a low-key life with my mother and cubs for so long. A rabbit bites me when I am in a hurry, and a dog jumps over the wall when I am in a hurry. Don't bully people too much!"

"Heh, with the huge airs of the Wang family, I'm afraid I still can't bear to do such a thing. At most, this is Wang Le's idea. Just relying on Wang Le alone, I'm really not afraid!"

Mao Tuan rolled his eyes inwardly, and even recognized himself as a rabbit, a dog, etc. It seemed that the host was really anxious.Mao Tuan responsibly blew rainbow farts along the way, "I knew the host was always wise and powerful, and wouldn't be so impulsive. It's because the surname Wang is too deceitful, and he has no clue in his heart, ha, ha ha——"

Shen Chu's face was still full of stubbornness, but his heart became more and more determined. In this assessment, he must get the upper class qualification for enke. Really live in peace.

······

At this time, the Library Pavilion of Taixue was still brightly lit.On the top floor of Laifeng Pavilion, an old man with white beard and hair is sitting and playing chess with King Yun. Looking out of the window, the city of Bianjing is full of lights.

The old man dropped a sunspot, stroked his long white beard and said, "King Yun is in such a good mood today that he has time to play chess with the old man—"

"Master's devotion to learning is a major event that will last for thousands of years. Students are trapped in the trivialities of the world, so they dare not take the liberty to disturb the master."

The old man is exactly Taixue Xuezheng, the teacher of today's emperor, and the former master of King Yun.

"Come on, you have a temper like a day for decades, and the old man won't talk to you about these things—"

King Yun sighed, "It doesn't matter if it's been like a day for decades, but things are different and people are different. It's just a fool who clings to the past and can't get rid of the past."

"The old man failed to persuade His Majesty in the case of Ningguo Gongfu, and he has been troubled for many years."

King Yun hurriedly said, "This matter has nothing to do with Master, everything is destiny."

Master Fu: "I'm afraid King Yun doesn't believe in fate?!"

King Yun covered his face and took a sip of tea, and said briefly, "It's the students who are taking the liberty, today's students come here for nothing in the past."

Fu Fuzi's eyes darkened, and he opened his arms and smiled in a blink of an eye, "Hahaha, the old man is really curious, what is the reason why King Yun can come here in person—"

It was rare for King Yun to show a bit of shyness in front of his master, but he said bluntly, "In the spring of next year, His Majesty will specially open Enke for the prince's wedding. The students hope that master can recommend someone to take the scientific examination."

Master Fu looked at King Yun with his beard, "Is this son a bachelor of my imperial studies?"

King Yun: "Naturally."

"Do you have real talent and learning?"

"Have."

"Since this is the case, why do you need the old man's recommendation? Doesn't King Yun know that if you get the top grade in the assessment, you can get a place in the scientific examination."

"If you can't get it the last time, you don't need to waste your energy to join Enke."

"Master's words are justified. It's just that if something happens to me, Master doesn't want to recommend it, but I hope it can be dealt with fairly."

Fu Fuzi laughed, "Do you not believe me?"

"Of course not, I'm just worried that my master won't be able to intervene in such trivial matters, so it's just too much for me."

"I know, I know, it's rare that you are so considerate of others, the old man will pay more attention to it."

"I just don't know which scholar you are talking about?"

"Shen Chu."

Master Fu showed a thoughtful expression, and said for a while, "I have an impression of this kid—in the class of that little old man Yang Shouli, he expressed a view on loyalty and forgiveness that is not far from the Tao, which made the students of the Taixue vie for it."

"Recently, there seems to be some Zhuzi's version of "The Great Learning" circulating in the school. I heard that it also came from this kid. It's just that this great Confucian Zhuzi, I really haven't heard of it—"

"But this world is so big, there are people outsiders, outsiders, outsiders—"

"Master, what do you think of Zhu Zi's version of The Doctrine of the Mean?"

"Some are just general opinions, and some are trivial, probably compiled by this kid specially to deal with the imperial examination. However, it can be seen from it that Zhu Zi is indeed a great Confucian born in the world, and I feel deeply ashamed—— "

"If you have the opportunity to talk about books and Taoism, you will die without regret!"

King Yun was shocked, he didn't expect Master Fu to give such a high evaluation.He is clear about Shen Chu's life experience, he doesn't know if there is such a Zhu Zi, but he knows that Shen Chu must not have such a teacher as Zhu Zi.Then how did he get this Zhu Zi edition commentary that even Master Fu praised? !

You can't write it yourself, can you?King Yun felt that this was impossible.

This child is full of mysteries and always has many spooky ideas that have never been seen in this life.But to King Yun, these are not important, the important thing is that this child is so similar to that person, he can't help but take more care of him.

At this time, Master Fu said, "I heard that Shen Chu is the concubine son of Marquis Ningyuan, and he is quite similar to Shaoyi back then. Don't be in a daze, kid—"

King Yun was shocked. He hadn't heard that person's name for a long time. Nowadays, many people only know Shen Rong, Marquis of Ning Yuan, who has nothing but skins and ruins among them. The two are regarded as the Shen family's twin jades, but in his opinion, they are just one in the sky and the other in the earth.

Up to now, those who still know dare not mention this person in front of him, and only his master dares to speak normally.

He couldn't hide the bitterness on his face and forced a smile and said, "It's just that they are similar in appearance, but their temperament is completely different. If things and people in this world can empathize so easily, the world may not have to suffer so much—" —”

"The world is bustling, and everyone has their own attachments. It's good for you to know it in your heart."

Li Huan, King of Yun, was at a loss in his heart. He didn't know where he came from, where he was going, and he was alone.Does he think he still has a heart?His heart was taken away by that person long ago, and now he is just a withered body, struggling in vain.

Master Fu sighed again, the two of them stopped talking and finished the game of chess quietly.

At this time, Shen Chu had already returned home, and he hadn't forgotten the candied haws he brought for Zai Zai.

After entering the yard, he saw Zai Zai rushing towards him excitedly like a cannonball. Shen Chu opened his arms, ready to welcome Zi Zai and embrace him enthusiastically.Unexpectedly, Er Zai immediately hugged the candied haws in his hand, gnawed them happily, and still did not forget to criticize, "Daddy, you came back so late, Zaizai waited until it was dark, Daddy has to bring some back to Zaizai tomorrow." Candied haws will do.”

Shen Chu's heart was filled with confusion, and he deeply doubted that this little brat who forgot his father with candied haws was his own son who smashed it?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Zaizai's Diary: Hmph, Daddy, touch your belly, isn't Zaizai your own son and whose own son is it? !

Shen Chu: Well, it was your father's own son~~~

Zai Zai: (Confused face.jpg) Huh? (Suddenly realized.jpg) No, no, Zai Zai is the son of Daddy and Father~~~ Daddy wants to give Zai Zai two candied haws~~~
