After the concubine took the script of the son-in-law

Wang Zhaosu was arranged to live in the wing room of the Shen family's main house, and then went through the Yuedongmen to the next book pavilion when giving lectures.

He only planned to stay for half a month before going back to his hometown of Suanzao, so the time for lectures could not be arranged too late.After Shen Ji reported to Shen Yilu and Yan Shu, he began to talk about lectures.

Seeing that she was very busy with this, Li Yunyao said: "You are always not interested in reading, but now you are so busy with lecturing that you are happy."

"Master's lecture is such a big matter, of course I have to handle it myself!" Shen Ji said.

Li Yunyao exposed her: "You just like to be lively, and you think it's fun to have so many people at home."

Shen Ji: "..."

"Forget it, anyway, you and I can benefit from this lecture." Li Yunyao did not interfere with her behavior in the end.

Before the lecture, Shen Ji was not idle either, he would go to Wang Zhaosu's place when he had free time, occasionally ask questions, and more often ask the parties to verify some rumors circulating outside.

For example, it is rumored that Wang Zhaosu never haggles when buying things, and he will give as much as people say, even if people tell him that the purchase is expensive, he doesn't care.

Also, his family had a donkey, which was often borrowed and used by others, and he lent it out generously.And whenever he wanted to go out on a donkey, he would first ask the servant if anyone would borrow the donkey, and he would feel relieved after getting a negative answer.

It is more widely circulated that he once took out the precious wood piled up at home to dry, and at night, thieves targeted the wood and came to steal it.After he knew it, he not only did not catch the thief, but threw the wood out of the door for the thief to take away.The thief was ashamed when he saw it, and there were no more thieves in his house since then. ①

Seeing her gossiping question, Wang Zhaosu asked back, "You don't agree with the old way?"

"This is not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing. After all, the behavior of the master is determined to be a reflection of the master's personal character. Others have no right or reason to criticize this."

"Then what would you do if it were you?" Wang Zhaosu asked.

"It's hard to say, the positions are inconsistent, and the methods of seeing and dealing with problems are different. For the rich, it is benevolence and justice to donate generously; for the official, if he sees something illegal and does not punish it, but acquiesces in his actions, it may be encouraged. It is dereliction of duty for the occurrence of illegal things to cause more people to suffer.”

Wang Zhaosu was not surprised by Shen Ji's answer, nor was he angry or because Shen Ji's views were different from his own, he felt that they should stand on opposite sides.

He studied Zhuang Lao's learning intensively, was indifferent to fame and fortune, and naturally had some thoughts of "governing by doing nothing"; Shen Ji was born in a family of officials, so naturally he considered how to safeguard the interests of the ruling class.

There is no right or wrong between them, and this is a very interesting topic. Communicating with each other may give him unexpected inspiration in studying knowledge.

Wang Zhaosu felt that Shen Ji sometimes had many wonderful ideas and ideas. At the same time, Shen Ji also learned and understood some content of Zhuang Lao's theory through some of his expositions.The speed of her improvement made Li Mu who came to visit Wang Zhaosu very surprised, after all, he knew exactly how much ink Shen Ji had in his stomach before.

Soon it was the day when Wang Zhaosu gave lectures, and hundreds of scholars who had handed in invitations before were able to enter Shen's house and came to the book pavilion where Wang Zhaosu gave lectures.Shen Ji has already arranged the seats, but apart from those who have handed in the greeting cards before, there are many people who have just arrived and haven't had time to hand in the greeting cards.

These people should have been kept out of the door, Shen Ji said: "Let them in, scholars' thirst for knowledge should not be blocked by a door."

So these people sat outside the bookstore one after another, listening to the lecture through the doors and windows. Even in the scorching sun, they didn't care at all. They wiped their sweat with their sleeves while recording the essence of Wang Zhaosu's lectures.

At the same time, Boss Zhao, who was supposed to be in the palace to listen to the ministers' report on the government, also quietly came here, and then hid in a corner of the book pavilion, using a screen to block his body.

Behind him, Shen Yilu quietly wiped his sweat.

Shen Yilu originally thought that Shen Ji was just messing around, even if he held a lecture for Wang Zhaosu, it would be just like the Wenhui and Yaji, just playing around.Unexpectedly, this news reached Boss Zhao’s ears—Boss Zhao was still looking at his screen in the room, pondering the two lines of writing Wang Zhaosu left him, and recalling his refusal to be appointed as an official by the way, so he heard someone report that The Shen family has been very lively recently, Shen Jizong lent Wang Zhaosu lectures to attract many scholars, I don't know what his intentions are.

The so-called big tree attracts wind. After Li Chongju was demoted, the Privy Council was headed by Shen Yilu. While he was flattered by others, he would naturally find some people's hatred. Therefore, it was expected that someone would use this matter to inform.

Boss Zhao was most afraid of forming a clique for personal gain, so after knowing this, he decided to come to Shen's house to find out.

At the same time, he did not forget to call Shen Yilu who was at work, and then saw Shen Yilu's confused and nervous expression, and felt relieved.

Boss Zhao eavesdropped for a while, saw that Wang Zhaosu was indeed giving a lecture, and Shen Ji was also listening very seriously, and didn't take this opportunity to persuade the scholars to do something, so he left Wang Jien to continue peeping, while he wandered around Shen's house stand up.

It doesn't matter if you don't wander around, as soon as you wander around, he finds that the Shen family's house seems a bit dilapidated and small.

Boss Zhao pointed to the moon gate between the two houses and asked Shen Yilu, "Why is there another gate here?"

Shen Yilu explained: "Next to it is the house of the minister's wife."

Boss Zhao was surprised by what he said: "Isn't hers your Shen family's?"

"That's her dowry business income, how can I have the audacity to take it?"

Boss Zhao suddenly realized: "You are really kind! But because of this, I feel relieved to leave this state affairs to you!"

"Then why don't you repair your own house?" Boss Zhao asked again.

"I believe that it is enough for the house to be able to accommodate people, and it doesn't have to be gorgeous. The Shen family is small, and no matter how big the house is, it can't be used up. It's too wasteful to leave it idle..."

Boss Zhao admired him very much and decided to have someone build a new house for him. After all, he is now one of the few confidantes he can reuse. When everyone is building a mansion, his house is still so small. Being mean to a close minister?

And it's better to build a new residence closer to the imperial city, so that he can call him into the palace at any time.

Shen Yilu didn't know about Boss Zhao's little things, and not long after he sent Boss Zhao away, the lecture came to an end.

Boss Zhao returned to the palace, listened to Wang Jien's report on the situation of the lecture, and found that there was nothing unusual, so he was relieved.

However, Wang Jien reported another matter: "The son of Xue Canzheng was also present."

Zhao Laodao: "The two of them have worshiped under Prince Zhongyun and Li Mu together. It is not surprising that he is there."

Became the emperor, and even took away the military power of the military general who once pushed him to the throne. Would he be worried about inserting some people to watch the movements of these civil and military officials?

So he may not be clear about some small matters in the private house, but he still understands the movements of the near ministers, officials of the capital, nobles, and generals.

Therefore, Shen Yilu and Xue Zhengan had already known about the fact that Shen Yilu and Xue Zhengan had found Li Mu as their son's teacher. ——It would be better to say that it was because the teacher they found for their son was not some important minister in the court that he was relieved of these two.

Shen Ji sent Wang Zhaosu back to his room in the evening, and settled him in the room before going to see Shen Yilu.The latter told her what Boss Zhao came to listen to the lecture today, and warned: "In the future, you can't act so ostentatiously."

Shen Ji said: "Master will return to Suanzao soon, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold this kind of lecture for the second time."

Shen Yilu glared at her: "I tell you seriously, are you still very sorry?"

Shen Ji smiled and said: "Father, I believe that a king with such a broad mind as the official family will definitely not care about me."

"You're still flattering!"

"This is not flattery. Think about it, Dad. The official family called the master into the palace a few days ago and asked him to speak the "Book of Changes". Both father and Uncle Xue were present. The official family also said the two words of the master's "governing the world" There is no love for the people, there is no love for the people, there is no desire for self-cultivation' is recorded on the screen. ②So the master is really giving lectures, or I am doing things in the name of giving lectures, can the officials not tell the difference?"

Shen Yilu was speechless, it was not a good thing to think that his son was too smart for the first time.

The author says:

Shen Xiaoji: A private visit from an official's microservice, our family is happy to have a luxury house?Happy.
