Xie Shen originally planned to take Xie Xu to the county school to have a look, so that he could feel the hardships of his study back then and sharpen his son's character. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Now Feng Chuan, the academic administrator of Zhejiang Province, intends to ask him to move to the county school, which is just the right time to persuade the students.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Xie Shen made another speech, and finally ended the reception banquet and returned home under the escort of several guards.

After not stepping into his hometown for a long time, Xie Shen actually felt a little embarrassed.

But the eldest brother and sister-in-law came up to greet him cordially.

"Xiaolang, your eldest brother has been talking about you all these days, but I didn't expect to really talk you back."

The corners of my sister-in-law's eyes are obviously wrinkled, and her skin is not as compact as it was more than ten years ago. But the kindness between the eyebrows has not changed at all.

Xie Shen vaguely remembered the scene when he first saw his sister-in-law, and that kind smile made his anxiety about the world immediately dissipate.

He really regards his eldest brother and sister-in-law as family, which is not only related by blood, but because of the true affection.

Big brother Xie Fang is still the same, rubbing his palms and not knowing how to talk.

Although Xie Shen is not much different from when he was a child, his status is no longer the same. Xie Shen is no longer the student who went to the county school with a cloth bag on his back, but the first assistant of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, and the pillar of the country who was crowned the pillar of the country.

The Xie family has become the most respected family in Yuyao because of Xie Shen, and Xie Fang's business is getting bigger and bigger.

This is all the benefit of Xie Shen's rise, how can Xie Fang not know?

He was very grateful to Xie Shen, but he didn't know how to talk about it.

"Don't be stunned there, welcome Xiaolang in."

Sister-in-law Xie Chen glanced at Xie Fang, and Xie Fang reacted, and said continuously: "Look at my eldest brother, I'm really getting more and more confused." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Xie Shen inside.

The Xie family's house was bought in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, with a depth of five and more than 30 rooms.

Even in the whole of Shaoxing, it is enough to be regarded as a mansion.

However, no one will question it, because they know that this house belongs to Shoufu Xie Shen.

Xie Shoufu has done so many good things for the people of Daming, and his relatives deserve to live in such a house.

The sister-in-law glanced at Xie Fang and said, "You accompany Xiaolang here first, and I'll fry a few dishes." ”

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here? Just ask someone to cook, why bother to cook yourself? ”

Xie Shen hurriedly dissuaded.

"Can people cook to make the taste of home? Xiaolang, it's rare for you to come back once, shouldn't your sister-in-law cook two dishes herself? ”

After speaking, he ignored Xie Shen's dissuasion and went to the East Kitchen.

Xie Fang smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law is such a personality. ”

"Hey, it's all my fault. I haven't returned to my hometown for so many Chinese New Year's Eve, which makes my eldest brother and sister-in-law worry about it. ”

"It's all a family, why do you say such a thing?"

Xie Fang rubbed his palms and said, "Besides, Xiaolang, you are doing things for the imperial court and your majesty, how can you be easily separated." If you can come back and see us, I will be very content, big brother. ”

Xie Shen couldn't help but choke up a little, no matter what happens, it will always be your family standing behind you.

Brothers, friends, brothers, this is the greatest happiness.

After a short time, the sister-in-law fried a few plates of home-cooked dishes.

Although Xie Shen had just had a banquet, he still had dinner with his wife, son, eldest brother and sister-in-law.

These are the sister-in-law's specialty dishes, stir-fried pork, dried tofu with bamboo shoots, and scrambled eggs......

Xie Shen's taste buds were full of familiar tastes, and his eyes were filled with tears.

"This ...... What are you crying about? ”

Xie Fang was a little overwhelmed.

"Big brother, it's out of the way. It's just that I miss the old days. ”

"What a fool, what is there to miss in the old days?"

Xie Fang said with a smile: "At that time, I couldn't sell tea at a high price, so I went to help in other tea shops, which can help you pay the shackles." The family lives tightly, and a copper coin is eager to be broken in half and spent......"

Thinking of those days, Xie Yi sighed with emotion.

"It's just a sigh of emotion. It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. Now it's really telling me to go back to those days, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go back. ”

The family had a lively meal together, and Xie Shen couldn't take a break so he took his son Xie Xu to Yuyao County to study.

After the two came to the county school, Feng Chuan, a scholar who had been waiting outside the county school, and Chu Ji, a county school teacher, greeted them.

More than ten or twenty years have passed, and the officials of the county school have already changed, and Xie Shen has no one to know.

However, the photo wall in front of the county school has not changed, witnessing the changes of the years.

The two of them hugged Xie Shen and his son into the county school and went straight to Minglun Hall.

Because they had greeted Xie Shen in advance, the county students were not studying, but stood in the hall to greet Xie Shen.

Xie Shen was slightly displeased: "How can you delay the students' studies because the official is coming?" ”

Xuezheng and the teachings hurriedly confessed.

Xie Shen didn't want to delve into it, so he cleared his throat and said: "Today, the official came to the county school to tell you that you must study hard, strive to get on the list of township exams as soon as possible, and participate in the big competition." If the official asks you what you are studying for, you will definitely say that it is to serve the court and your majesty. But that's not what you really think. The reason why you have studied hard for decades is to be able to get ahead like your own officials and change the fate of your family. Among you, there must be many people who are from humble backgrounds. Then the imperial examination is the only chance to change fate. Therefore, you do not read for the court, nor for Your Majesty, but for yourself. ”

Xie Shen's call made the students look at each other, what did Lord Shoufu mean by this? Even if you really think so, you don't have to say it.

"I want to tell you what I say, and you don't have to hide what you think. People have desire to be motivated. As long as you can do things that are beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, then you deserve to enjoy the glory and wealth. ”

Xie Shen is not a hypocrite, and he will not deliberately disguise his thoughts.

He also hopes that these juniors can be a real person like him at the beginning, instead of rhetoric and clever words.

"My officer's son is the same age as you. That's how the official taught him. ”

After speaking, Xie Shen turned to his son Xie Xu, patted him on the shoulder and said, "People live for themselves in this life. Only by not regretting yourself can life be meaningful. ”

The scholars and teachers on the side were stunned. Xie Shen's words completely broke their preconceived notions.

No wonder Xie Ge got ahead at a young age, it turned out that he had extraordinary opinions.

"Students should follow the teachings of Lord Shousuke."

Everyone bowed in unison, their eyes full of admiration for Xie Shen.
