Chapter 42: Little Things in the Big City

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......
