The maid handed Shen Shixing a hot towel, Shen Shixing wiped his hands, and smiled with Lin Yanchao, who was eating watermelon: "The old man can't be greedy, otherwise he will have diarrhea, you are a young man who eats more to cool off the heat." β
Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "The teacher has always been healthy, you are letting the students eat more." β
Shen Shixing smiled, watched Lin Yanchao gulp watermelon, and then asked, "Anyway, what is the matter with your old man coming at night this time?" β
Lin Yanchao put down the watermelon and said to Shen Shixing's gaze: "Today, the second son and the third son of Zhangfu came to find students. β
Shen Shixing nodded and said, "It's Zhang Sixiu, Zhang Maoxiu." β
Lin Yanchao said: "Yes, today's "Last Words on the Sickbed", which is suspected to be Gao Xinzheng's posthumous work, is circulated among the scholars, and they are worried that someone will be unfavorable to Wen Zhonggong, and they hope that the students can speak in front of His Majesty. β
Hearing this, Shen Shixing picked up the tea and blew on it: "I remember that you don't have any personal relationship with the two sons of the Zhang family." β
Hearing this, Lin Yanchao's heart suddenly sank.
Lin Yanchao continued: "The student does not have a personal relationship with the two sons, and even has a bit of a holiday. It's just that the students feel strange, why don't they go to Gonggong Feng, he is in charge of Dongchang, it is easy to find out who wrote this book, why do they want to find students, could it be that Gonggong Feng is already difficult to protect himself? β
Shen Shixing took a sip of tea and said: "Yanchao, you are too worried, Gonggong Feng is the master of ceremonies, the eunuch and the head of the East Factory. If there is no Holy One, who can touch Him? You have too much heart, although Feng Shuanglin was not knighted this time, his nephew still gave Jinyi Wei the command. β
"A few days ago, the court pushed, Fujian Governor Lao Kan was promoted to the left deputy capital of the Imperial History Associate Academy, Wang Zhan moved from the right waiter of the Ministry of Officials to the left waiter of the headquarters, before Chen Jingbang was the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Siyu was the prince's guest, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu had been the general manager of Lu Wang's wedding, and built the Lu Wangfu Mansion, which shows that the Son of Heaven still attaches great importance to the old man of the former Wenzhong Gong, and has no intention of abolishing the new policy."
"As for the unrealistic gossip in the government and the opposition, you and I don't want to believe it ourselves, so the rumors will pass after a while."
Lin Yanchao thought to himself that Shen Shixing's words were just like the clichΓ©s he and the Zhang family brothers said. However, according to Shen Shixing's words, Feng Bao is now in full swing, and this time the court pushed Zhang Juzheng to win a complete victory, which is the evidence.
So Feng Bao is as stable as Mount Tai, not to mention Zhang Juzheng?
Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "When the teacher says so, the students will be relieved." β
Shen Shixing made it clear that he didn't want to make it clear, so what's the use of asking again? In fact, when he saw Shen Cheng take out Wang Xijue's letter, Lin Yanchao knew that he had made this trip in vain.
Lin Yanchao got up and said to Shen Shixing: "Since you are such a teacher, the student is leaving, please take care of yourself." β
After speaking, Lin Yanchao waved at Shen Shixing and left.
"Yanchao, sit down and talk to the old man."
Lin Yanchao walked to the door of the house, but Shen Shixing stopped him.
After Lin Yanchao re-seated, Shen Shixing said earnestly: "Yanchao, do you remember that I ordered your Huiyuan at the beginning, and then the three yuan and the first?" β
Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Not only is it a huiyuan, a champion, the student is an official and depends on you all the way, the kindness of the teacher, the student will never forget it for the rest of his life,"
Shen Shixing pinched his beard and said: "The old man doesn't mean anything else, but I just remember that you and I are both champions, and we rely on our background in the imperial examination to get to where we are today." I remember that when Jiajing was the champion of high school in the forty-first year, the title of the Jinshi Monument, I was still called Xu Shixing. β
"I have been from my uncle since I was a child, so I have taken his surname. His father's surname is Shen Shizhang, and he is a student member of Changzhou County. When I was 10 years old, my uncle and I went to the door to see him, but he was closed. β
"Later, I studied hard, luckily won the top prize, returned to Suzhou in clothes, and when I went to Shenfu to visit again, my biological father had died of illness, but Shenfu said that he wanted me to return to the sect. After I asked my uncle, he said that I was originally from the Shen family's bloodline, and I should be the general. So I said yes. β
Shen Shixing explained his life experience in just a few words.
Shen Shixing was an illegitimate son, and the status of an illegitimate son at that time was that he was not married to his biological father, and he was not even as good as a son born to a concubine. According to the rules of the ancient clans, illegitimate children not only could not share their father's property, but could not even take their father's surname, nor could they go to the family tree.
Shen Shixing's biological father doesn't treat him as his own son, but after Shen Shixing wins the champion, according to normal reasoning, he should go to the Shen family to slap his face. But Shen Shixing did not, but returned to the Shen clan. This seems strange to modern people, but this move echoes the filial piety of the ancients.
Shen Shixing laughed at himself: "Since my uncle lived, I sent people under the fence and looked at people's eyes, so I have a softer and cowardly temperament. Wang Fengzhou said that since I became an official, there is no difference in the precipice, which is not bad at all. β
Lin Yanchao raised his head and said, "Teacher......"
Shen Shixing waved his hand and said, "Actually, Yanchao, you come to the house, what you want to say, I already know." β
"You and I are both from humble backgrounds, and we have studied to the top level. The ground is barren and planted with pines and cypresses, and the poor children are studying, how can this not be said by you and me. I'm not as good as Zhang Puzhou, and you're not as good as Zhang Maoxiu and Zhang Taizheng. Therefore, in the officialdom, we must be quiet and obscure in our affairs, and every step must be like walking on thin ice, otherwise it will be a mistake, and we will lose all the games, and there will be no chance of a comeback. β
"I shouldn't have had the slightest talk to you. Zeng Shengwu, Wang Seal and they are looking for me, I can be vague, but you can't. Because you are my student, you were brought up by the old man, and you have today's status by your own efforts. In the future, after the old man pays tribute, you will protect the old man's family and the things after his death in the court. Therefore, you must listen to the old man's advice. β
Shen Shixing is really good to himself, Lin Yanchao asked: "Teacher, I listen to you, please give me orders." β
Shen Shixing said: "From now on, don't look, don't ask, don't speak. What to keep in the bottom of your heart? When someone asks you, just do it. If you don't speak, you won't do anything wrong. If you say a wrong word, you will set yourself on fire, and the old man will not be able to protect you at that time! β
Shen Shixing's words made Lin Yanchao's heart thump, and he was afraid for no reason, which made him tremble. With his experience as an official, he knows where this fear comes from.
Lin Yanchao said: "It turns out that my teacher recommended me as the examiner of Nanjing Township, because he was afraid that I would say the wrong thing in the court. β
Shen Shixing sighed: "I still don't know your temperament? You are not an official for the sake of being an official. β
Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "The student understands, he must remember the teacher's teachings, and the student has one last thing to ask the teacher." β
"You say."
"Now that the storm is coming, which side are you on, teacher?"
Shen Shixing pinched his beard and said: "A good sentence is about to come, if you want the eight winds to blow and sit on the purple golden lotus, you have to climb to the wind." β
"Where's the wind?"
Shen Shixing stretched out his hand and pointed to the roof and said, "It's heaven!" β
