The summer of Jiajing's 40 years has been spent in such laughter and laughter, people coming and going, including joys and sorrows, or personnel changes, or sadness and sorrow, in short, it is not dull.

Wang Shaoqing left Daru Lane and went to the capital, preparing to enter Guozijian as a professor next year, so the stall here was handed over to Gu Qingshan, and under Gu Qingshan's instigation, Shen Wuyan also went over to be a gentleman.

And Xu Wenchang's side because the Japanese in the southeast fought too well, so the Japanese invaders all ran to Fujian, so he took Qi Jiguang to Fujian to meet a new round of war.

As for the heavy rain that lasted for a summer, it gradually stopped, and the people were moved by the heavens and the earth, and they were all very satisfied with the disaster relief work of Suzhou Prefecture this time, and the imperial court also gave a special commendation.

Xu Shixing came once during his trip, intending to invite Shen Wuyan to go to the prefect's yamen to do things, but after some hard work, Shen Wuyan simply refused to deal with it unintentionally.

In the small courtyard here, there was quite a three-flavor study house, Shen Wuyan was lying on a rocking chair flipping through the scrolls, and after the sun shone on his face, he took the tea and drank it all.

This school was built on the right side of Wang Shaoqing's mansion, and it was more convenient to come and go, at this time, when Gu Qingshan was in class, he had nothing to do, so he waited here to drink tea and read a book.

“…… Mr. Shaoqing is really rotten. ”

Gu Qingshan, who came from the corridor on the other side, was flipping through a few detailed explanations of the Four Books and Five Classics newly compiled by Shen Wuyan, but when he suddenly heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "The only one who can say this in Suzhou City is Brother Shen." ”

Gu Qingshan was also a student of Wang Shaoqing back then, although there were fewer contacts later, but there was still a friendship between teachers and students.

Moreover, with Wang Shaoqing's fame in Suzhou, not to mention the name of Mr. Renxiao, it is said that this Confucian Lane was renamed because of him, which shows his knowledge.

"Knowledgeable...... It is not rotten...... Nothing is too much to do. Thinking of this, Gu Qingshan muttered softly.

Seeing Shen Wuyan coming over, Gu Qingshan saluted, and then continued: "I have read the commentary of Wuyan, the thoughts in many places are the same as those of Mr. Yang Ming, but there are other differences, I think it is my own thoughts......

For the Four Books and Five Classics, it is not a problem for Shen Wuyan to read them through, but there are many differences in understanding from the current world, so he can only write them out first, and then hand them over to Gu Qingshan for revision.

"Brother Qingshan has revised it, I'll go back and take a look."

Gu Qingshan frowned slightly, then handed the book to Shen Wuyan, and sighed slightly: "But I can't say that it's wrong, when I took it back to read it last night, it was indeed full of ridiculous words, but after waking up in the morning, I very much agreed with your point of view...... But the saint was wrong. ”

The saint was wrong.

After Gu Qingshan said this, he also felt a little ashamed, he had read the words of the sage for decades, and every time he reached the critical moment, he was very appreciative, although he was not a sage, but he admired the way of the sage, but now he denied the words of the sage, because of an ordinary person.

How could a sage be a perfect human being?

Looking at Gu Qingshan's difficult face, Shen Wuyan suddenly said, "Maybe it's not that the sage is wrong, but ...... What I mean by this is that at every particular time, there will be different truths, for example, under standard atmospheric pressure, water boiling is 100 degrees, but if in the Himalayas, water boiling, there is no 100 degrees......"

Gu Qingshan is known as a genius, but he lives up to his name, and Shen Wuyan's words and sentences, which he has never heard of, roughly understand the meaning after he simply combs them through.

"The wordless meaning is that the sages who spoke at that time were indeed not wrong about the sages' teachings, but perhaps they were no longer applicable as time went on?"

Shen Wuyan nodded and continued: "In addition, the sages said that at the beginning of a person, nature is good. However, another sage said that at the beginning of man, nature is evil. These two views cannot be said to be right or wrong, because they are both justified. ”

"That's right, Zhu Zi said that the principles of heaven are stored and people's desires are destroyed, but Mr. Yang Ming believes that all things are based on the heart, and this truth is also very reasonable now."

Shen Wuyan smiled and said, "Mr. Yangming was a ,...... back then. Not to mention the ways of these sages, philosophers always think differently from ordinary people, and it is difficult to talk about them. ”

Listening to Shen Wuyan joking, Gu Qingshan also smiled faintly: "Speechless, that "Liao Zhai" ...... Is it possible to make a small ......? ”

"The Story of Stones" ended in early August, and then the book caused great repercussions, so that the influence of "Water Margin" and "Three Kingdoms" in the world was close to that year, and it was even more brilliant than "Journey to the West", which was listed as **.

It's just that there is no copyright in these years, so the number of reprints is also huge, and Shen Wuyan's name is only in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but Jia Baoyu's name can even be said by literati in the capital.

The so-called only knowing his book and not knowing his person is what Shen Wuyan is experiencing now.

However, Shen Wuyan didn't care much, no matter who published this book, it was good to add color to the world, anyway, he knew that it was him, and he wouldn't pay for his manuscript.

It's just that recently, Yue'er has been pestering to listen to stories again, and Li Wan'er often sends Cai'er over to urge, so she simply chatted about fasting.

The story of this magical ghost didn't please Shen Wuyan very much, but he didn't expect that as soon as this article came out, the repercussions would be even greater, and now the three words Shen Wuyan have also spread to the distant Fujian battlefield.

That's another story.

Now that "Liao Zhai" is just the beginning, Shen Wuyan has picked a few stories such as Nie Xiaoqian, Ning Caichen, and Painted Skin, and the rest has been put aside because there are more things at hand recently, such as Qi Jiguang's war encountering some problems, which need to be solved for the time being.

This made Gu Qingshan wait, and now he didn't care about any image, so he asked Shen Wuyan for a book.

Shen Wuyan didn't have a ready-made book now, but he couldn't tell Gu Qingshan a story like this, so he had to shirk it and say that he would send him a few volumes in a few days.

Seeing that Shen Wuyan was sincere, Gu Qingshan nodded and left satisfied.

Now Shen Wuyan is still very concerned about the war on Qi Jiguang's side, and since the fight started in July, the battle has not been very smooth.

Shen Wuyan roughly analyzed the battle situation, and because he couldn't go to the scene to observe the situation and environment, he could only write some of his own opinions based on what Qi Jiguang described.

"It's really three hundred and sixty days a year, and most of them go on horses......

Shen Wuyan sighed, handed the letter to Wang Tian, ordered it to be handed over to the soldiers who were waiting, and watched the gallop away, then returned to the teahouse and sighed slightly: "This battle ...... It's really hard to fight. ”

"In fact, as long as the imperial court is willing to open the sea ban, this battle will not be fought at all." Wang Tian sighed as he looked at the map named Map of China that Shen Wuyan had glued to the wall.

Shen Wuyan was looking up some information about firearms, and suddenly heard Wang Tian say this, he immediately raised his head and glanced at him, and only said after a while: "You're right...... But the evil feudal society...... The emperor counts. ”

Wang Tian couldn't understand Shen Wuyan's words, but he also knew that he was scolding the current saint, if this kind of rebellious words were heard by Gu Qingshan or Wang Shaoqing, he would definitely have to reason with Shen Wuyan for a while.

It's just that Wang Tian doesn't, firstly, he has such a temperament, and secondly, he grew up in Japan since he was a child, living with those warriors, and he doesn't have much reverence for this Jiajing Emperor.

"If one day the son is in a high position...... Will...... Will it become those officials like people......

Shen Wuyan knew what Wang Tian meant, his mother was persecuted by the government and died, and his father would only take refuge in the Japanese when he was desperate, and he had always had some hatred for Da Ming.

It's just that these days, under the influence of Shen Wuyan, I gradually understand that there are bad people everywhere, and there are good people everywhere.

Shen Wuyan was silent for a long time, and then sighed and said, "If I could, I wouldn't be an official." …… Of course, if you really have a high position like you told you one day, you will also make decisions for the people......"

Wang Tian nodded, as if he wanted to say something, but shook his head helplessly, and then stopped talking.

……

There are more than ten days to go before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Wuyan is preparing for this conversation with the Li family about marriage, and he also has to prepare for this gathering in Deyuelou, but Xu Wenchang's marriage is also indispensable.

And Gu Qingshan's poetry club was also invited again and again, and after several offensives, Shen Wuyan had no choice but to accept Gu Qingshan's invitation and promised to bring his family over to play, but he couldn't compose poems.

Speaking of which, from the pre-Qin period to the later Tang and Song dynasties, there were countless good poems and essays for more than a thousand years during this period, no matter how Shen Wuyan picked, it was difficult to find some good sentences to support the scene, and it was difficult for the previous festival gate to really occupy an advantage.

It was also in the past few days that Shen Wuyan learned the news that the Li family had successfully won the imperial merchants, and Shen Wuyan didn't plan to know what kind of means were used inside.

However, there is gossip that the Li family has some relationship with Li Chunfang, the great yuan of the DPRK.

Shen Wuyan didn't pay much attention to these news, but on the other hand, the Hu family withdrew all their business in Suzhou, and even many businesses in the capital were gradually shrinking.

During this period, Hu Zongxian also came to Shen Wuyan once to talk about some major events that were not national affairs, but judging from the conversation, it seemed that he was worried, Shen Wuyan did not elaborate, and Hu Zongxian did not discuss in detail.

In this ordinary day, Su Qiaoqiao left a book in the afternoon of a certain afternoon, and the letter did not explain where he went, and Shen Wuyan also looked for it, but in the end he didn't find it.

However, Shen Wuyan still roughly knew the reason, the day when he and Li Wan'er got married was getting closer and closer, Su Qiaoqiao was afraid that it would be difficult to accept that scene, she and Yue'er were still different after all.

Yue'er could face the relationship between Shen Wuyan and Li Wan'er, but Su Qiaoqiao couldn't, so she left, even if she was reluctant.

Yue'er took Su Qiaoqiao's letter and suddenly asked, "What does she mean when she says she doesn't like places with a lot of people......

August 13.

There were still a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and in the morning, Shen Wuyan received an invitation from Deyue Tower, inviting him to meet at Deyue Tower in the evening.

Like Duanyang, this time the gathering was also arranged on the second floor, but this time the first floor was not as lively as last time.

When Shen Wuyan arrived on the second floor, most of the people in the building were already full, and he was still the last seat, not because Yuelou despised him this time, but because this time he was seated according to his age.

Everyone in the audience is a leader in their industry, whether he is a fisherman or a carpenter, they are all famous in Suzhou, including Qin Er, who made ironware for Shen Wuyan before.

Speaking of Qin Er, he really worked hard to build the foundation, after coming out of Yulong Street, he relied on his ability to strike iron to mix in Suzhou City, and later the business became bigger and bigger, and he was valued by Deyuelou.

In addition to building some iron tools for Deyuelou over the years, he has rarely taken on some casual work, and the reason why he took Shen Wuyan's work is because he knows Shen Wuyan's deeds.

Seeing him again at this time, Qin Er hurriedly ran to Shen Wuyan's side.

Most of them are the foundation accumulated by several generations, and they are all highly qualified, so they often look down on some people who have become monks halfway.

Not to mention Qin Er, he was still a gangster from Yulong Street back then, although the profession of a merchant is not as good as a scholar, but it is much better than a gangster, at least they think so.

As for Shen Wuyan, although he had made some names in the business world before, whether it was milk tea earlier, or the vigorous buffet later, so that he finally killed Jixianju, these have also been mentioned by some businessmen.

However, in the hearts of many businessmen, they are extremely disdainful of Shen Wuyan. After all, he used to be just a businessman, and he specialized in the so-called art industry, and he was good at reading, but he was not necessarily good at business.

Later, after some investigation, more people believed that the reason why Shen Wuyan is where he is today is because of his two helpers who are good at business, Yue'er and Liu.

Steward Liu doesn't need to mention it, he was famous in the Shen Family Restaurant back then, and that Yue'er girl sat in the Shen Family Restaurant, and she made the half-dead Shen Family Restaurant prosperous, and later even the Hu family was squeezed out.

So Shen Wuyan had no business talent, and it all relied on the affairs of these two helpers to spread among the merchants, until the book "Stone Records" spread to thousands of households, and this recognition became more affirmed.

"He is a scholar, and he wanders among businessmen all day long, and others think that he has amazing strategies, but in fact he is just an outward job, and he is supported by Steward Liu on the inside."

As soon as Shen Wuyan walked into the tearoom and sat down, several old businessmen in front of him began to talk about him, but it made Qin Er very uncomfortable, so he simply walked to Shen Wuyan's side.

It didn't matter if Qin Er left, one of the bearded men thought that Qin Er was going to say something to Shen Wuyan, so he suddenly got up and said loudly: "Qin Er, what are you going to do?" ”

This bearded man is a foreign businessman, but his voice is very loud, and when this sound continues, the tearoom suddenly quiets down, and they all look at Qin Er, who walked to Shen Wuyan's side.

Qin Er was slightly stunned, how did Lao Tzu provoke you?

The bearded man didn't care about the changes in this situation, and said loudly: "Your grandson is used to stealing chickens and touching dogs, and now he is still more restrained in this Deyue Tower." ”

Qin Er, who was already in a very aggrieved mood, was exposed like this, and suddenly said angrily: "Who do you say about stealing chickens and touching dogs? ”

Qin Er strikes iron all the year round, and he is also five big and three thick, and this roar is not much worse than this businessman.

Seeing that the situation was tense and tense, Shen Wuyan hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Qin Er behind him, hugged his fist towards the businessman, and said with a smile: "A misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." ”

Seeing Shen Wuyan so polite, the other businessmen also felt that there was no big deal and were about to return to their seats, but the businessman refused to give up, he stepped forward and pushed Shen Wuyan away violently, standing in front of Qin Er.

"It's Lao Tzu who said that you steal chickens and touch dogs...... How is it? ”

Qin Er was stunned and suddenly laughed: "Lao Tzu asked which grandson said it, and now you say that you said it...... This, the big guy said, who is the grandson of who...... I can't do this because I can't get a seniority. ”

"Then he is your Qin Er's grandson......" There are people who like to stir up trouble, and at this time, they just happened to join in the excitement and coaxed secretly.

The businessman also felt that he had been bitten on the head by Qin Er, and suddenly felt that he had lost face, and immediately rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Shen Wuyan hurriedly grabbed the bearded man and said, "This old brother should sell me face...... ”

", what are you?" As he spoke, the bearded man was about to push Shen Wuyan away, but he didn't expect to feel weak, and he didn't break free of Shen Wuyan's pull.

Seeing this situation, Qin Er didn't want to let it go, and punched the door of the bearded man's face, with Qin Er's strength to hit the iron, this punch went down, and the bearded man's two front teeth were knocked out.

It's just that he was angry in his heart, but he couldn't exert his strength, and the bearded man suddenly understood the reason for the matter, turned his head and glared at Shen Wuyan, and said angrily: "You kid, you dare to poison ...... Look at me...... See that I don't kill you. ”

"Alright, sit back."

Just as there was a lively crowd here, an old, but very powerful voice came from behind everyone. The voice seemed a bit laborious to say, but it was a force to obey.

"Mr. Xu......"

Some of those who had heard it knew the source of the voice, and their faces suddenly tightened, and they hurriedly ran back to their seats, and lowered their heads deeply.

Shen Wuyan also felt a little embarrassed here, the original purpose of poisoning was just to make this big man calm down, but he didn't expect Qin Er's side to throw this punch, which offended this person.

was about to help him over, but unexpectedly he was glared at by the bearded man and said angrily: "No need." ”

Gradually, they sat down again.

Only then did Shen Wuyan see clearly the person sitting on him, this person had white temples, but his eyes were blazing, and he was quite upright, but he was not like a businessman, and he was not angry but arrogant.

"Cao Bao, you hurt people first, as for Qin Er, you shouldn't do it, Shen Wuyan is going to persuade you not to do it, and it's no wonder that he is there."

After talking about this in a few words, he glanced at the others who were seated, and then continued: "Actually, there is nothing to do this year, and there is no need to pay for the war in the southeast...... Speaking of which, I want to talk about a person, this person gave Hu Zongxian an idea, whoever pays for the war will be rewarded with a name, I think many of you here already have a name. ”

"Of course, old ...... My name can be loud, called Weifu Po General. ”

It was Cao Bao, the businessman, who spoke, and when he talked about his title, he glanced at Shen Wuyan who was sitting at the end with great disdain.

"So the money that should be out this year has also been released, so you don't need to give out this money. Another thing is that this year's industries in Jiangxi will be withdrawn, and those who are involved in business in Jiangxi will be cut off......"

Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, is a native of Jiangxi, and many wealthy businessmen in Jiangxi are also inextricably linked with Yan Song, combined with Hu Zongxian's performance and the movements of the Hu family before, Shen Wuyan can roughly guess some of the movements of the DPRK.

It is impossible to say that there will be major changes in the imperial court in this year.

But he didn't say this, after all, not everyone can criticize the government, if it is Wang Shaoqing and Xu Wenchang and the like, they have no scruples about casually, but at this time the venue is obviously not a suitable place.

That Mr. Xu didn't say why, and the shopkeepers who sat down didn't ask, as if they had acquiesced to Mr. Xu's dominance.

"In addition, this year's money was received first when I left, and the future arrangements will be sent directly to your government, and this kind of meeting will be regarded as the last time...... That's it. ”

originally thought that he would give a speech at length, but it was only a few words, and Shen Wuyan had not yet adapted to it, but he saw that many shopkeepers had already left.

The businessman named Cao Bao walked up to Shen Wuyan's side, laughed coldly, and then walked out of the door, but Qin Er hugged his fist towards Shen Wuyan and left.

Gradually, only Shen Wuyan and Mr. Xu were left in the teahouse, Shen Wuyan got up and bowed to Mr. Xu, and said indifferently: "What's the matter with Mr.?" ”

That Mr. Xu also nodded to Shen Wuyan, motioned for him to sit aside, and then said, "Young Master Shen, you are different from them. ”

Shen Wuyan nodded, those shopkeepers seemed to be cooperating with Deyue Tower, but in essence, they had become a subsidiary of Deyue Lou, a relationship of prosperity and prosperity, but Shen Wuyan's side was not, but a real cooperation.

"None of the words I said before were addressed to you...... In addition, I heard that you have a marriage contract with the Li family, and now I want to say that whether you want to or not, I hope you don't agree. ”

"Why ......" Shen Wuyan frowned slightly, if it was because of the matter of the imperial merchant before, the Li family's side might not be good for him, but now that the Li family has taken the imperial merchant, what else would be inappropriate?

"In addition, if there is any connection with Hu Zongxian's side, it should be cut off as soon as possible, even if he has merit with the southeast, even if he is ...... for the country and the people."

Mr. Xu didn't say anything, but got up slowly: "There's nothing more to say, let the young owner talk to you." ”

As he spoke, he was already walking towards the back hall, and at the end he suddenly turned around and said: "My surname is Xu, my name is Xu Jie, if Shen Gongzi believes me, he will do it, and it doesn't matter if you don't believe it." ”

Xu Jie, now the second assistant in the imperial court, is high and powerful, and his status in the cabinet is second only to Yan Song, the first assistant.

Shen Wuyan nodded slightly, and was about to think about this, when he suddenly saw another familiar person walk in.

"Brother Shen......"

Looking at Gu Qingshan, who came over and sat down, Shen Wuyan hesitated slightly, and after a while, he was surprised: "You are the young owner of this Deyue Building...... ”

Gu Qingshan nodded slightly, and continued: "Deyue Tower has a few days, and you still have to rely on Mr. Xu's help. …… By the way, my father Gu Dingchen. ”
