Word of the saddle castle soon spread.

The boy of the Shen family actually didn't see outsiders, and he was mourned.

It's not big, but it's not small. After all, it was the first time that someone dared to do this in Saddle Castle. Where is the farmer so exquisite, three days and two things, you can't even if you don't want to see outsiders.

This is naturally Shen Mei's handiwork.

The matter soon reached Shen Yun's ears.

Originally, he should have come forward to explain this matter. After all, I didn't mean anything like that. Although the friendship and travel are cut off, but someone comes to visit, is it really not there?

According to this statement, isn't it necessary to lock a good young man in a cell for several years?

But when this rumor came out, even the third master who inquired was embarrassed to come to the door. People are going to see outsiders, why do they run over?

In the northwest after autumn, the leaves are scattered, and there is a bleak scene. The weather is getting cooler, and there are few people coming and going in the ordinary streets and alleys, so there are a few idle old men looking for a wall root that shines on the sun.

The courtyard of the Shen family is like that bleak alley, and if it weren't for Shen's mother being carried to the courtyard by Shen Yun, there would be no half of a figure.

can't explain to others, it doesn't mean that Shen Yun can't explain.

With anger in his heart, in his hand is a book with iron and silver hooks: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to raise but does not wait." ”

Then he made some paste, pasted a piece of writing on a curved wooden board, and stood in the doorway.

Jiang Jimin has had enough of Liu Qingming's nagging for many days.

Every time the two argued, Liu Qingming would take out the matter that he had forgotten to ask for Shen Yun's handwriting. So much so that a staff member who had been cultivating his spirit for several years was forced out of the county government today, vowing to find Shen Yun for a word.

Jiang Jimin has already made up his mind.

As long as Shen Yun's handwriting is reached, it will never be given to Liu Qingming. He wanted to keep it himself, and then when Liu Qingming said about him, he showed it off.

Even if he drank a few months less for this, he was willing.

Whether Shen Yun's words are good or not, he is just hearsay. But seeing Liu Qingming deflated, he was extremely happy in his heart.

It is probably this kind of deficit heart that Jiang Jimin will always be trusted by Liu Qingming. It's a pity that Jiang Jimin doesn't know it yet.

Still with two servants, this time in a carriage. Jiang Jimin drank the wine forcibly taken from Liu Qingming along the way, but hummed an unknown tune in his mouth.

Soon arrived at the door of Shen Yun's house.

Jiang Jimin was about to go in, but he was blocked by the third master.

"This official, you don't want to go in." The third master hurriedly said, since the Shen family kid wants to keep filial piety, then let him keep it, and don't let these people disturb the quietness.

The old man's idea was naturally excellent, but he didn't know that this was not Shen Yun's original intention at all.

"Oh, but why?"

Jiang Jimin was very interested and wanted to hear what this old man would say. I didn't see those villagers who were so frightened that they avoided a long distance when they saw the official errand, but this one was the only one who came over with courage.

The third master smiled very humbly: "But it is the kid of the Shen family, it has been rumored a few days ago, and he will be mourned if he does not see outsiders." No, we all wanted to go and see his wife, but when we thought of it, we didn't have the face to enter the door. ”

"And such a thing?" Jiang Jimin was a little unconvinced. When he saw Shen Yun's conversation that day, he was not such a pedantic person. Everything should be flexible, how can it be generalized.

Jiang Jimin wanted to shout into the courtyard.

But before he could say anything, he saw the plank standing inside the door.

"Old man, this, but Shen Yun wrote it himself?" Jiang Jimin pointed to the wooden sign and asked the third master a little politely.

can get a scholar to ask so politely, and he is called the old man, and the third master is the first time he has met it in his life. In addition to being excited, he nodded again and again: "After this matter spread in the village, it didn't take long for the Shen family boy to set up this sign. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh: "I can't understand what is written." But there are those who know how to read, and say that this is what it is, and the tree wants not to move, but it cannot stand the wind; The son wanted to support the elderly, but the old man didn't wait for him to go into the ground. Anyway, that's what it means, I don't know if it's right. ”

It was the first time Jiang Jimin had heard someone explain this sentence like this.

However, if it is translated literally, it is really as the third master said. Forced to smile and nodded: "Yes, that's what it means, the old gentleman is not wrong." However, in my opinion, I'm afraid that Shen Yun has another meaning. ”

"Oh? There are so many tones of readers, it's better to say it directly, and one sentence can be used as two sentences. The third master suddenly realized, but the words he said made Jiang Jimin cry and laugh even more.

"Old man, in my opinion, Shen Yun wants to put an end to outsiders, which is simply made up by others. He wrote this picture to let people understand that he did not say it. ”

"Really?" The third master was a little unconvinced.

"Really."

"Then why didn't he tell us, such a simple thing, just say no?" The third master couldn't understand what Shen Yun meant.

Jiang Jimin shook his head: "Even if you say it, will you believe it?" When the time comes, I think he has gone back on his word and is full of lies. ”

This is also where Shen Yun's concerns lie. If you explain it directly like this, it will inevitably be said by some people who are interested. It's better to be tactful and let those who understand themselves understand.

Jiang Jimin was about to go in.

But when I thought about it, I still felt that something was not good.

During Shen Yun's mourning, he also made a special trip to find someone to write a letter. This is a bit rude. can see the paper on the wooden board, and feel that what Liu Qingming said is true, Shen Yun's words are definitely generous.

It's not like to go in, and it's a little reluctant to leave.

It's a bit difficult.

On the other hand, the third master looked at Jiang Jimin, who was thinking hard, and secretly wondered in his heart whether this literati was deceiving himself.

For a while, Shen Yun's door fell into an eerie silence.

Suddenly, Jiang Jimin patted his head.

"Haha, such a simple question, why can't I figure it out, I still claim to be the first staff member in Qinzhou." Jiang Jimin grinned and instructed the two errands behind him: "You two, go find some clean water." ”

The messenger answered, but when he arrived at the opposite door, he explained his intentions, and quickly brought out a bowl of boiling water that had just been dried.

Jiang Jimin took a sip, walked up to the wooden board, and as soon as his mouth sprayed, a mist of water completely hit the paper. Xu is Jiang Jimin also has some experience in framing, this mist is stained on the paper, and there is no tendency to spill the words.

Seeing that the paste under the paper gradually softened, Jiang Jimin handed the bowl to the errand behind him, and directly took off the whole picture. Then I blew the wet marks on the top and carefully stacked them.

Just as he was leaving, he suddenly thought of something, picked up a clod of soil under the wall, and wrote four big characters on the wooden board very neatly: "Gentleman is cautious." ”

There is a saying in "The Book of Rites: The Mean": The Mandate of Heaven is sexuality, the spontaneity is the Tao, and the cultivation of the Tao is teaching. Those who are also in the Tao must not be separated from it; can be separated, not the way. Therefore, a gentleman is cautious of what he does not see, and fearful of what he does not hear. Don't see it, don't show it, so the gentleman is cautious.

is also in the "Book of Rites", and there is also in the "University" chapter: The so-called sincere people do not deceive themselves. Such as a foul smell, such as lustful, this is called self-humility. Therefore, a gentleman must be cautious of his independence. The villain is not good at idleness, he does everything, and when he sees the gentleman, he is disgusted, covering up his badness, and focusing on his goodness. If a man sees himself as his lungs and liver, what good will he be? This is said to be sincere in the middle, and the form is outside, so the gentleman must be cautious of his independence.

Obviously, Jiang Jimin's meaning is taken from the latter.

cares about warning Shen Yun, although mourning is a very important thing, it can't be left alone because of this. Especially when it comes to learning, it can't be done behind closed doors.

This exhortation, which is almost a dumb riddle, in Jiang Jimin's opinion, Shen Yun can definitely understand it.

Then, throwing down the clods of soil, clapping his hands, and with great satisfaction, let the errand drive to the county seat.

The reason why it has been so long that Shen Yun still hasn't come out. But in Shen Yun's room, in the end, the windows were only used to let in light, and in order to shelter from the wind, they were only half opened.

Shen Yun sat at the table again, his mind was extremely concentrated, and it was difficult to hear the noise outside.

Shen's mother listened a lot, but firstly, Shen Shan was in a trance after his death, and secondly, she didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs, so she didn't hear what was going on outside.

This back and forth actually made Jiang Jimin turn back like this.

When Shen Yun stepped out of the room again, it was already evening.

It was getting dark, and in order to protect his eyesight, Shen Yun stopped reading. The contents that I have read during the day have long been hidden in my heart, and I am just taking a walk at this time to ponder it repeatedly.

I just walked into the courtyard, only to find that the paper on which I had written was gone. Flipping over the board, there were actually four words written on it.

Just as he was about to take the plank back, he didn't want the third master to come over from next door: "Housheng, I heard that the matter of your closing door and thanking guests was spread by others?" ”

"Where did the third master get the news, but it's right." Shen Yun smiled: "No one has been in the house in the past few days, and I am not a person who has gone out, so how can I spread such news." I don't know who is trying to play tricks. ”

The third master listened to Shen Yun's story, and sighed again and again: "Sure enough, a scholar is smart." What the official said was true. ”

"Official?" Shen Yun asked puzzled.

The third master hurriedly explained: "It's the one you said you wanted to let you go to the county to study that day." He told me that you don't see any stranger, so he told me these things. Oh, by the way, he took the words on your board. ”

Shen Yun secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that it is this one." ”

"It's strange for you to say that this official took a piece of paper to wipe his buttocks, and he was a baby. Give it to me, I'm too dark to dye my cheeks. ”

Listening to the third master's ridiculous emotion, Shen Yun smiled and slowly walked into the house. When he was about to step into the house, he suddenly turned around and said, "Third Master, if you want to come in and chat in the future, just come in." ”
