The weather in early spring is quite cool, and the sun is still warm even near noon. [Ran^Text^Library] []【For more exciting novels, please visit】

Along the way, Yue'er was very surprised that Shen Wuyan asked the Lu family to pay for the tomb in just a few words, but Shen Wuyan ignored it as worthless, and in the end he could only come to a conclusion by himself, either the young master became smarter, that is, the Lu family was really stupid.

Walking to the mouth of Daru Alley, at this time the decoration of the shop is going on vigorously, everything is going according to Shen Wuyan's expectation, about the end of March will be officially opened, think about a little excited.

After making some simple adjustments in a small direction, Shen Wuyan and Yue'er walked towards Wang Shaoqing's house in the depths of the alley.

Wang Shaoqing was playing chess with someone under the tree at the door, and the opponent was a scholar about thirty-five or sixteen years old. Seeing Shen Wuyan and the two coming, he pointed to the stone bench beside him and motioned for him to sit down, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Yue'er smiled bitterly and walked into the house, saying that she was helping Aunt Li cook.

At this time, the chess game was tight, and although the eyes of the two were quite gentle, they had actually frequently performed killing moves, and they were more energetic in secret, but the chessboard was not as soft as this spring warm breeze.

In the end, it was the scholar who made a good move, and Wang Shaoqing lost a son.

After a game, the two were not in a hurry to start again, but began to review the previous games on the chessboard, which were nothing more than some mistakes and clever moves, and finally there was an endless argument, which ended with a successful cleaning of the chessboard.

Shen Wuyan also knows some tricks on the chessboard, although he was not a national player in his previous life, he also has certain attainments, and then he also has his own style, so when the two talked, he also expressed some insights, which was deeply recognized by the two.

"This is Xu Wenchang......"

Wang Shaoqing pointed to the scholar in front of him and introduced, then introduced himself, and then introduced himself and said inconsequential greetings, and then the three of them walked towards the small courtyard.

It can be seen that Xu Wenchang is a man of few words, but every word he says is quite useful, and his words are quite Confucian, and even Shen Wuyan is very admired. Compared with Wang Shaoqing's simplicity, he is more of a sense of freedom and heroism.

Wang Shaoqing said while making tea for the two: "My father died a few years ago, and my mother also left, so I and I were left in this family, so many of my subordinates were sent back." Aunt Li was a cook in her early years, and her meals were really delicious. ”

"Brother Shaoqing, why is this?" Xu Wenchang didn't talk much, but at this time, he opened his mouth with such an incomprehensible sentence, which made the already somewhat deserted Zhongtang even more silent.

Wang Shaoqing still knew what he meant after all, and he smiled bitterly at Shen Wuyan: "It is said that you will not enter the court because the officialdom is not clean, but in fact, how can this be the case...... After all, the foundation is not deep, and it is not enough to make contributions to the imperial court. ”

Xu Wenchang smiled and shook his head and said: "Brother Shaoqing studied under Mr. Qu, and his classmate Wang Yingdian has a good reputation, you have been hiding in this alley all these years, and the so-called lack of skill may be able to expire a little in the eyes of outsiders, but in my opinion, it is not good." ”

Xu Wenchang is a straightforward person, although many words make people feel a little uncomfortable, but they are all true, and they are all for Wang Shaoqing's thoughts, and he can often point to the key point of the matter. At this time, although Wang Shaoqing was directly refuted, it was not offensive.

However, Wang Shaoqing obviously had other thoughts, and did not agree with it, but he didn't want to refute it, so he just shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Shen Wuyan also sighed, when he talked about chess before, he could also feel that Wang Shaoqing was quite talented and learned, but his temperament was not in the officialdom, and he was not good at saying anything, so he had to say lightly: "I think Mr. Lai just thinks that he is not sure that he can do things well now, but it doesn't matter whether he is an official or a teacher, and teaching students at home may not be able to serve the country and the people." ”

In fact, Wang Shaoqing is not confused when he is too old, there is no advantage in entering the court at this age, but scholars still have that mind, whether it is for the people and the country, or for themselves, after all, they have that obsession.

Taking a sip of tea, Wang Shaoqing said with a smile: "I studied Mr. Chengqu, in the early years, I thought that discussion was not as good as writing, but writing was not as good as practice, so I was reluctant to speak at home all day, and later I saw Mr. Geng Xiang, he said that it is the knowledge of sages, and everyone needs to be together, so I opened the school to teach, hoping to have a comprehension." ”

Xu Wenchang smiled faintly and said: "Mr. Geng learned from Mr. Ben Yangming, and was deeply influenced by the theory of Gewu, so it is reasonable to have this opinion. It's just that Shaoqing is so evasive, and it is not a way after all. ”

The three of them sat in a triangle, talking back and forth with a few words. Although Shen Wuyan didn't say much, just a few casual words, he could still amaze the two of them, and sighed that the young man was knowledgeable.

It's just that this is a different feeling in Shen Wuyan's eyes, one of these two people has a soft personality but does not lose a perseverance, and the other is impassioned and willing to take the world as their own responsibility, but neither of them has the heart to serve the country.

These two people may be a special existence among many literati, but after all, the heart of serving the country is very ordinary, and the Ming Dynasty still governs the military with literature, but these literati are not all some people who talk about poetry, writing and painting all day long.

"Mr. Shaoqing probably also wants to do something practical, but now he is confused, I am afraid that after this year, he will enter the court next year, Mr. Wenchang, why worry, but your unique painting is really pleasant......"

Xu Wenchang probably didn't want to hold on to this matter, and when he heard Shen Wuyan mention calligraphy, he suddenly became interested, and laughed: "My calligraphy is the first, the poem is the second, the text is the third, and the painting is only the fourth......." ”

Then Shen Wuyan skillfully changed the topic and turned to talk about some poems, calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings, which eased the embarrassing scene.

In the midst of the three of them, there was also a sad discussion in the backyard of the Shen Family Tavern in Suzhou City.

After Shen Wuyan left, the Lu family instructed his subordinates to start repairing the tomb, and after being busy, he finally arranged that side properly, and he could be regarded as having fulfilled his filial piety again, but his heart was still extremely heavy.

The backyard is also a houseyard.

Lu Shi looked at the food on the table and couldn't eat for a long time, but when he saw Shen Wuliang's appearance of nothingness, he suddenly became angry, and said loudly: "Things have come to this point, you are still in the mood to eat?" ”

Remembering that I had played this move for the sake of separating the family, it was really not easy. Even if she is rude and rude on weekdays, she is still a woman after all, she is ruthless in doing things, steady but worrying.

However, Shen Wuliang was very safe, and he didn't mention anything about what Shen Wuyan said before.

Seeing Lu Shi like this at this time, he had to smile bitterly: "Lu Liu did leave when he saw the bleeding that night, who would have thought that he was not dead, and it seems that he was not even injured." …… But it's okay, he's also my brother after all. ”

"Now that I'm talking about brothers, why didn't I see you like this before I started?" Lu Shi frowned slightly, slammed the chopsticks on the dining table, and sneered: "Lu Liu is my own brother, he said that there is no problem, then he will definitely not miss, there must be other problems, don't you believe it?" ”

Shen Wuliang shook his head again and again and explained: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that ...... The facts are in front of me, and it is not the time to fight, I think it is better to let Lu Liu go to hide elsewhere recently, and it is best to come back after this time. ”

Although the Lu family also had some thoughts, but in this urgency, he suddenly lost his proportions, and after Shen Wuliang said this, he remembered what to do, but he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart: "That kid said it was a dream,...... And I didn't see Lu Liu, so there shouldn't be any problems. ”

"It's hard to say." Shen Wuliang took a sip of wine while serving the vegetables to his mouth, and said, "Wuyan seems to have changed recently, and he is not as stupid as before, I think...... Will he be lying. ”

This was a knot in the Lu family's heart in the past two days, and Shen Wuliang felt the same way when he mentioned it at this time, and said in a loud voice: "It's really like a different person, and I feel like this since the day I broke up." …… It's your father'....... ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Shen Wuliang scolded in a low voice: "Most of his words in the morning were false, nothing more than wanting us to spend money to help repair the grave, but I was frightened by his sentence that I wanted to kill him with a knife, and I didn't think about it so much, but now I think about it, I was really fooled." ”

Lu Shi didn't think so, she picked up the chopsticks and pulled out a few bowls of rice, but in her heart she was looking back on the events of the morning, and muttered: "He was stabbed, he should have died, but it seemed to him that it was just a dream." Could it be ...... Is your dad secretly protecting him? ”

"Look at your ......" Shen Wuliang smiled dumbly, and he said, "Although I still don't know why he didn't die, my father ...... It's impossible, and don't ask me why, it's impossible anyway. ”

The Lu family didn't want to ask any further, so he just picked up the vegetables and ate a few bites of food before getting up to leave, but he turned around and said, "The guy sent over at noon came back and said that the gentleman was Wang Jingchen who lived in Daru Lane. ”

"Wang Jingchen?" Shen Wuliang was stunned, he knew this person, for people like him who served high-ranking officials and nobles, the name Wang Jingchen could actually be heard often.

"You mean Mr. Wang, who is famous for his benevolence and filial piety? said that Da Confucian Lane was named after him, but he didn't say how to get involved with him. ”

Lu Shi shook his head, and then said: "If this is the case, most of the wordless performance in the past two days is mostly taught by this Wang Jingchen, so some doubts will be solved." ”

Shen Wuliang nodded, and suddenly said: "Let this matter go first, I see that there is a new restaurant on the other side, saying that it was opened by Governor Hu's relatives, and there is also Governor Hu's inscription, now it seems that there is nothing to do, and I am afraid that it will be another trouble in the future." ”

The Lu family understood this, Hu Zongxian was now famous, and if the nobles here in Suzhou knew that Governor Hu's relatives had opened a restaurant, they would naturally go over to join the market, and most of the business would be robbed at that time.

"There's no way around it, but my Shen family is also a store for some years, and it's not so easy to compete."

Lu Shi answered, and hurriedly went out to find Lu Liu, but this matter was very important and could not afford to delay.

Shen Wuliang was still leisurely drinking and eating, but his heart was a little unpeaceful, and he whispered to himself: "It is indeed troublesome to climb the high branch of Wang Jingchen without words, but he is weak, and in fact, he is not too much of a threat to me...... Hu's restaurant is a trouble. ”
