"I didn't have nostalgia for officialdom back then, half of it was because I didn't want to chase fame and fortune, I just wanted to live a life of seclusion in the forest. The other half is for my own protection. Huan Hai is sinister, and it is not possible to stand on a high position with enthusiasm. Sometimes, what the eyes see and what the ears hear may not be true. Therefore, it is not an easy thing to gain a foothold in officialdom. Wei Xiangye has not fallen after three dynasties, not only because his Wei family is powerful, but also because he, the helmsman, knows how to save time and size up the situation. Master Gao taught earnestly in front of his proud disciple and son-in-law Bai Yingtian, and told him most of his life experience.

Bai Yingtian listened carefully, and the questions in his heart about why Master Gao was full of money but willing to live in seclusion in the countryside spread little by little. Before Master Gao, for him, he had both admiration and doubt. He admired Master Gao's knowledge and character, but he questioned Master Gao's concept of self-cultivation and self-cultivation. Why, Master Gao asked them to forge ahead and actively enter the office, but he lived in seclusion in the forest and did not ask about the world. At this moment, listening to Master Gao tell him about his own experience in the capital in the early years, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Back then, I, Chen Hansheng, and Wei Deren were called the three heroes of Jinghua. In terms of brilliant articles, I think that no one can match them, and when it comes to strategic changes, Deren should be the first, and when it comes to calligraphy pen power, Hansheng should be the first. We were all young people at that time. Wei Deren is the oldest, and his family is in Kyoto, so he is much more familiar with the situation in Beijing than Hansheng and I do. The three of us hit it off at first sight, often chanting poems together, drinking and admiring the moon. Originally, I thought that our affection would last a lifetime. It can support us to move forward in officialdom together. At that time, I was arrogant, and I regarded it as a search for things in and out of the picture. In fact, it is young and frivolous.

Go to the Golden Palace for an interview. I was ordered to explore the flowers, Chen Hansheng was the champion, but Wei Deren was only a jinshi and the first. A rift arose between us. For a place in the Hanlin Academy, and because he was jealous of my ranking, Wei Deren took a deep step to lead me into the Osmanthus Building, although Hansheng knew a little bit of the inside story, he vaguely ordered me once. But I reprimanded him for hypocrisy, so I happily fell for Wei Deren.

In the Osmanthus Building, I met the most beautiful. The most talented girl. She makes good poems with one hand, and plays the pipa well. Almost at first sight, I was attracted to her. And she actually ignored the pursuit of so many princes and grandsons. Wholeheartedly to me. Thereupon. I frequented the Osmanthus Building, leaving behind a reputation for being amorous and amorous. In order to save her from the sea of suffering, I took that woman as a concubine at all costs and at the risk of being criticized. As a result, it was ridiculed by Shilin and became a joke in the capital. As a result, my love of serving the country became a vain joke. When I went back to my hometown. just brought back the name of a tanhualang and a beautiful and gentle concubine. In order to show that I am not superior, I simply announced that I will not enter the ranks again in this life. And in order to live up to what he has learned in his life. I deliberately opened the first academy in Panlong County. Yingtian, you are my proud disciple. When you went to Beijing last year, I believe you will definitely be able to get the title of the gold list. How I hope you can become the pillar of the court and give me a good breath of depression in my chest! Who knows, you actually followed in the footsteps of your master, and openly resisted and refused to marry for the sake of the marriage contract with Shen Fang. Fortunately, the emperor is benevolent and loving, otherwise, I am afraid that your life will not be guaranteed! Alas! It's a pity that I have carefully trained so many disciples, and I have to bury the countryside like me. When Master Gao said this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Bai Yingtian was a little ashamed, he was not ashamed of being able to realize his master's dream. And thinking of resisting the will and refusing to marry, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. In this life, the thing he regrets the most should be this decision. So, he said to Master Gao: "Sir, when you say this, I also want to thank you for your willingness to marry Shen Fang to me in the first place." If I hadn't made a marriage contract with Shen Fang, then I would have to marry the arrogant and famous county lord. If I marry the county lord, I can't do learning and teaching my disciples with peace of mind now. ”

Master Gao was very happy with his satisfaction and respect for Shen Fang. He smiled and said, "Recently, how is Shen Fang's health?" Her reaction wasn't heavy, was she? It's been a long time since I've seen her, and I don't know how she's doing! ”

Bai Yingtian said with a smile: "Shen Fang has been in good health recently, she can eat and sleep. The child was very well-behaved and didn't toss her much. ”

Master Gao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "She has always been weak, and she finally got pregnant, so she still has to rest well." After a while, my wife and I went to see her. ”

Bai Yingtian smiled and said, "That's a good feeling!" Shen Fang shouted bored at home every day, she always wanted to go out for a walk, and we didn't dare to let her go out. She didn't know how happy she would have been if her husband and wife had been able to visit her. ”

Master Gao said: "Speaking of which, since Shen Fang got married, there is nothing to do at home now. The eldest grandson went to my grandfather's house in the capital a while ago, and my wife and I had nothing to do. There are so many children, and none of them are around. There is nothing during the day, and it is too lonely at night! ”

When Master Gao said these words, although he seemed very relaxed, Bai Yingtian felt lonely and cold from his relaxed tone.

This is the side of Mr. Gao, who has always been strict with him, has never shown in front of him.

This side made him feel even more close to Master Gao. I also think that Mr. Gao's performance is more real and amiable. So, he said to Master Gao: "Sir, when Shen Fangyue is a little older and the child is stable, we will come back to live together for a while, and when the time comes, don't bother us!" ”

Master Gao was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay! When Shenfang is a little older, you can come back and live well. I immediately asked my wife to arrange for someone to clean Shen Fang's former yard. As he spoke, he actually stood up and instructed the little maid in the study: "Go, tell Madame, just say what the third aunt said, the third young lady will come back to live for a while after a while." Let her send someone to clean the third lady's Linglong Garden. ”

When the little guy heard this, he almost didn't believe his ears, when did the old man who had always ignored the affairs of the house actually take care of the small matters in the inner courtyard? However, it is indeed a good thing for the third lady to come back to live. Several young ladies got married, the two young masters were not at home, and the family was really too lonely.
