After Hou Houcong entered the door, he waved the branch in his hand mischievously, and after glancing at the table, the young man who was reading the book stood up with a scroll in his hand, his eyes were serious and sincere: "Dad, do you have something to do with me?" ”

Hou Houcong is not sure how angry he is to be worthy of such a "serious" son. The servant who caught up behind him hurriedly went to help the chair and came over, and gave his young master a look. The young boy reacted immediately, and rushed out to pour tea.

Hou Houcong glanced at the upside-down books on the table, and sighed in his heart: "Reading "University"? ”

Hou Mingyu took the tea, offered it respectfully, stood beside him with his hands down, and responded: "Yes." ”

"Where did you read it?"

"Back to my father's words, read chapter six. The so-called enlightenment is in the object of the ......"

"Well, I'll listen to it on your back."

Hou Mingyu frowned slightly, looking at his father's seriousness, he had to bite the bullet and open his back: "The so-called knowledge is in the object, and the words want to know the thing, and the thing is exhausted." Gai ......" Hou Mingyu's eyes fluttered, and he asked for help around, but there was Hou Houcong in the field, where did he dare to say anything.

"The soul that covers the hearts of people is not knowledgeable, and the things in the world are not reasonable, only ...... Only reason is not endless, so it ...... Therefore, his knowledge is not exhaustive, and he ......" his eyes fell on the servant standing by the door, full of eagerness, and the opposite side had to make a mouth shape, Hou Mingyu's voice was raised, and he continued: "It is the beginning of teaching with the "University", which will make scholars, that is, everything in the world, benefit the poor because of their known principles, so as to seek it to the extreme. "I carried it here in one breath, but I didn't have half a word, so I had to pray to my father.

Hou Houcong squinted his eyes and reminded: "As for ...... force"

Hou Mingyu said: "As for the force...... ...... for a long time"

After thinking for a while, he added the next sentence: "And once it is suddenly penetrated, it will ...... then ......"

"Then the surface of all things is ......" Hou Houcong raised his eyebrows, and his voice became cold.

Hou Mingyu was excited, came to the spirit, and under the reminder of a certain servant, he continued: "Then all the people are fine and coarse, and the whole of my heart is useless...... "Concentrate for a moment, and say word by word, "This is the character of things, and this is the knowledge of the best." ”

Bumped and bumped, but I memorized it. Hou Mingyu sighed, Hou Houcong took a sip of the tea in his hand at this time, and then took a second sip, probably because he noticed that the youthful breath of a woman on the cup was too obvious.

"Turn around." Hou Houcong put down the teacup, straightened his clothes, lifted the branches and got up, and gestured in the air for a while, still looking for a feeling.

"Dad, my son has the courage to ask, what did my son do wrong?" As he spoke, he turned around honestly, shrunk his ass, and was ready to be beaten.

Hou Houcong rolled up his sleeves, seemed to have finally found his hand, and slammed it over, "Dad beats his son, what a reason." ”

Hou Mingyu made a bitter face: "This is not a gentleman's doing. ”

"I'm your father." The second blow has already been hit.

"Dad complains that his son doesn't have to work hard to study?"

"What's the matter, I beat you all these years just because I wanted to be angry, and I never expected you to study hard."

"Sage Yun: Father is kind and filial piety! My father is a master of Confucianism, so I should understand. Hou Mingyu even changed his name.

Hou Houcong sighed, and didn't care about the title of Confucian master, probably because it was sealed by his son, and the water was too much. said lightly: "I heard that Chen Ji of the Tongju Mansion gave people a beating, and the whole person is much smarter." ”

Hou Mingyu turned his head and complained. In fact, for me, Hou Mingyu already knew that he couldn't escape this beating, and when he served tea to Hou Houcong, he found that the book "University" on the table was reversed. Looking at the servant girl who had just faded her cheeks red, it became more and more "three hundred taels of silver here".

Hou Houcong waved more than a dozen times, called the servant by the door to come over to take his place, turned around and walked back to his seat, put down his sleeves by the way, and reminded: "The strength must be mastered." ”

Hou Houcong rubbed his wrists, and after Shi Shiran sat down, his eyelids were twisted.

"I heard an interesting story about school today, Mingyu, you just happened to be in school, you should have heard about it, right?"

Hou Mingyu turned his head and said in surprise: "What did Dad say?" "This guy has been beaten for so long, and his face doesn't change, as if nothing happened.

Hou Houcong's eyes condensed slightly, and he sighed twice: "Fight with me sloppy?" ”

Hou Mingyu said innocently: "I'm telling the truth, I can't believe your son once?" ”

Hou Houcong nodded and shook his head, signaling that the stick education could not be stopped, and a hanging heart was also put down, it has been so long, and the lady has disappeared, so it should not come.

breathed a sigh of relief, and after venting it himself, his mood was a little better, and he no longer spoke so impulsively: "Chen Tongju's son poured feces on people, do you know?" ”

Hou Mingyu nodded, "I know, what's wrong?" ”

"You kid involved?"

Hou Mingyu turned around, walked directly out of the field of stick education, walked straight to the desk, jumped up and sat down, and then glared at his father, standing beside him obediently, "I'm your son, I'm shameless, what you want, I want to do this kind of shameless thing?" ”

“…… So do you know who did it? ”

Hou Mingyu shook his head, "He has so many enemies, and I am not only an immortal, how do I know who it is!" ”

Hou Houcong was speechless, a mouthful of old blood almost couldn't help but spurt out, and glared at his son fiercely, "To be honest." ”

Hou Mingyu was a little more serious, and learned from his father to make a straight face, "I'm a student from the outer class, and I can't contact them without the inner class, I really don't know." ”

Hou Houcong said helplessly: "After all, Chen Tongju and I are officials in the same house, I don't expect the sons of the two sides to have a deep friendship, but you don't want to hold your own identity, and learn from those guys with low eyes and skills to do those shady things!" ”

Hou Mingyu nodded, and said with a straight face: "I won't embarrass your old man." ”

Hou Houcong snorted angrily: "I have the identity of a showman, and I am stumbling to memorize "University", and I dare not to embarrass Lao Tzu!" Teasing birds and walking dogs and prostitutes, it really gives Lao Tzu a long face! ”

Hou Mingyu stiffened his neck, and there was a bit of argument for reason: "You can't blame me for this." Your old man came forward to talk about so many family affairs, and in the end, there was no one who was willing to pass through the door! I'm not a kid anymore! ”

Hou Houcong got up and said, "You are more interesting and motivated, why is Lao Tzu shy and old face everywhere?" ”

"Well, it's quite shameless, but if you are an official, Daddy, you are so shameless, and now at least it is a book."

I can't tell if it's true or sarcastic.

Hou Houcong blew his beard and glared, and sat back angrily, "Go back and tell your mother, I won't bother to care about your in the future." ”

“……”

Between the quarrels, a woman in palace clothes stepped through the door and pounced on Hou Mingyu with red eyes: "My son......"

Hou Houcong wanted to raise his hand to block his ears, but he was frightened by his wife's afterglow and put it back, and he didn't forget to pull his ears and muttered something.

"Mother......" Hou Mingyu "When it's time to cooperate with the performance, I will cry and wipe my tears wholeheartedly", Hou Houcong turned his head, his face was blue and white for a while, what is this called.

After a while, the legendary "mixed doubles" did not appear, but the prefect Hou listened to his wife's lecture "only submissively". Hou Mingyu stood next to him, but he also knew the truth of accepting it when he saw it, and helped his father say a few good words, and the matter quickly "calmed down".

Before leaving, Mrs. Hou also asked her son something about Chen Tong's son, and finally sighed and said a few words similar to Hou Houcong.

Hou Mingyu responded, took his mother out of the house, said a few words before he really sighed in a comfortable tone, turned around and entered the house, with little stars in his eyes, and the little maid who returned to the house at some point blushed and avoided his sight, with her hands around her chest, and the one she protected was called a porcelain.

Bringing the door, Hou Mingyu stretched his hands, pinched the air with his paws, and greeted the person with a smile, and there was no shortage of words like "Xiao Tiantian".

The spring night is unknown, but the spring color is overflowing.

——

On March 15, Chen Ji received a letter from Fuxue, to the effect that he should go back to study, and only vaguely expressed his determination about what happened, and in essence there was no considerable solution.

Chen Ji rejected the "kindness" of going back to study, and used the reputation of his father and his father to give a "suspension report" to Fuxue, to the effect that "he will study at home in the future". This report was finally sent to the table of the Hou Governor's Mansion, and after a small-scale meeting and study, Chen Xiujie's face was sold. Eventually, this has a sense of "fading away".

It was already the end of March when Chen Ji received the official restoration, and this result can be regarded as a good result for everyone. After that, Chen Ji began to build his own "business map". After the candy shop and pastry shop were shuffled, they gained a lot, plus the inventory of the grange outside the city, Chen Ji got more than 5,000 taels of silver, plus the 5,000 taels sent by Song Qingming and the three of them, and they had enough start-up funds for the construction of the bookstore. Therefore, Chen Ji was "refining the market" throughout late March, and by the way, he found the Yidu County Government and the Qingzhou Government to apply for "copyright protection". The three little ones around him also got busy.

As for Chen Ji's study in the house, it really has a sense of being forgotten. Even Chen Ji, the person concerned, did not react in the end, and the hearts of some people were put down, and many of the "complaints" written were useless.

Time flies, the first heavy rain in May has been in the rain for seven days, and the city of Qingzhou, which has not seen the sun, seems to be moldy and gloomy. There were few people on the square street near the east city gate, and the occasional figure running past was in a hurry. A bookstore that had just opened closed early, and the owner didn't know where to hide to have fun. Then there is a three-story teahouse in the bookstore, and the business has been bleak in recent days, and the storytellers on the stage have not spoken for a long time. Most of the root cause of this situation is the sudden appearance of something called "newspaper" in Qingzhou City in April, and the storyteller in the teahouse was almost poached to write strange novels!
