"Although you don't like sweets, you can eat less, and the customs must always be followed." As Second Master Shen said this, he had scooped a spoonful of porridge into his mouth.

Old Madam Shen hurriedly said, "Just take a bite!" Chaotian Jiang glanced at it, Tian Jiang noticed what he meant, pursed his mouth and went to serve hot noodles, but was stopped by Shen Erye: "Beware of burning, I have hands and feet, I can come by myself." That is, stretch out the arm and pass it over.

His tone was quite gentle, but there was a momentum on his body that was not angry but powerful.

What do you mean by that....... Cui Shi mentioned it a few times, that is, Tian Jiang sent the sweet porridge to them, and the smile was not as wanton as before.

After eating, eating fragrant tea and rinsing his mouth, the maid came, the nurse brought the little lady to ask for peace, Tian Jiang knew this, Shen Erye had a daughter under his knees, named Shen Li, who was born for the original match.

She is only eight or nine years old, combed her hair, did not wear a hairpin ring, two or three newly folded red chrysanthemum hairpins in the bun, wore a green onion and white silk shirt, a red sprinkled flower than a nail and a one-color skirt, her face is still small, and Shen Erye is not very similar, Tian Jiang has roughly recognized the appearance of the original lady Mengsheng, which should be elegant and vulgar.

She first greeted Mrs. Shen and Second Master Shen, and then knelt on the cushion in front of Tian Jiang to salute, and whispered: "Mother." "He seemed scared, and his eyes were timid.

Tian Jiang smiled at her gently, handed over a pair of earrings, knowing that there was no such thing as Shen Mansion, and if she gave it ordinary, it would make people feel perfunctory.

Shen Li looked at the pair of earrings, exquisitely exquisite, the lotus flower carved with a crab claw pen in fine silver, and a red bean embedded in the heart of the most ingenious heart, the color was very fresh.

She actually liked it when she looked at it, and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is this the red bean noodles in the sweet porridge of eight treasures?" ”

Tian Jiang asked her to come to her side: "This red bean is not the other red bean, and people often use this thing to express their feelings of longing." These two have a strange fate. After a pause, he glanced at Shen Erye's appearance as if he was smiling, and then looked at Shen Li's blinking eyes and waiting for her to say, even Old Madam Shen and Cui's listened to it.

She had to continue: "Far away in the southern kingdom of King Qing's mansion, I don't know what year and where planted a red bean tree, never flowered, your father passed by a few months ago, but overnight full of flowers, such as snow blooming, and then after falling into the pod no fruit, hard search to get these two, King Qing will give it to your father, your father has a poem, 'spring deep red beans number of flowers, knots through autumn only two. can respond to the dust of the sea, when He Ji Xianjia planted. ’”

"Is this the fruit of the red bean tree planted by the gods?" Shen Li's eyes were surprised and expectant.

Tian Jiang was speechless for a while, and glanced at Shen Erye, Shen Erye pursed the corners of his mouth, isn't he quite able to talk nonsense, I don't know how it will end!

Without waiting for him to speak, Mrs. Shen smiled first: "Naturally, it was planted by the gods, otherwise how could it not blossom and bear fruit for many years, how could it bloom when you see your father, and only these two fairy beans can be used to make earrings for Lili to wear. ”

Shen Li muttered that she wanted to wear it immediately, but when Tian Jiangyuan wanted to help her, she saw her pinching her earrings and went to He's side, so she laughed.

After a few words, the red beans were already trembling in Shen Li's ears, complementing the red chrysanthemums in her bun, everyone laughed and praised, Shen Li rubbed to Shen Erye and showed him: "Daddy thinks the red beans are beautiful or the pearl is good-looking?" ”

Second Master Shen touched her head and said softly: "Behind the empty ears of Mingzhu, red beans are at ease in people's hearts, and my mother has a heart, so she is naturally better than anything else." ”

Shen Li said "um", feeling that she should thank this mother, she glanced at He Shi a few times, and was so stunned that she didn't say anything.

Tian Jiang didn't have time to take care of these, the children and ladies of each room came to ask for peace one after another, starting with Shen Qinglin, the son of the He family, twenty years old, clear and handsome, handsome in appearance, and He has seven points of resemblance, speech and style of self-confidence, has not married a wife, has already made a name for himself, all day long studying hard to prepare for the examination after three years, and now he is studying in the country.

He heard his mother say that the second uncle was much younger than the second uncle, but he never thought that he was so coquettish, and the previous Mengsheng uncle was very different, so he didn't dare to look more, and bowed, and got a pair of green and white jade five-son pen holders, which was exactly what he wanted, and the pen holder he was using was accidentally broken in half by the maid a few days ago, and hurriedly thanked him.

He smiled at him and said, "It's rare that your second uncle has some free time today, and if you have any knowledge that is difficult to understand, when will you stay?" ”

Shen Qinglin's heart tightened, somehow, he was not even afraid of his father, but seeing Shen Erye's inexplicable weakness, it was obvious that he looked the most gentle and elegant.

Straighten your back and arch forward, and shout respectfully: "Second uncle." ”

Shen Zetang said "um" lightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, before saying: "Today is the day for your second uncle and mother to serve tea and see relatives, and it is inappropriate for you and I to talk about learning here." ”

Shen Qinglin's face suddenly turned red, and his mouth snorted: "What the second uncle said is true." Even if he glanced at He, He's face was also a little unsightly.

Shen Zetang saw that he wanted to retire, thought about it, then stopped him again, and asked calmly: "Who is the hall in the Guozi Prison, and who is the one who teaches the school?" Can you still get used to boarding and studying? ”

Shen Qinglin hurriedly replied: "Now I have entered the Chengxin Hall, and the teacher is Liu Haiqiao Liu Xuezheng, who is in the Guozijian during the day, and returns to the house every night to rest and sleep." ”

"Why is that?" Shen Zetang frowned.

Shen Qinglin was hesitant, and He interjected: "Qinglin has to go to Guozi Prison several times to study, but I don't allow it, his body is weak, and he wants to recuperate stronger." “

Shen Zetang didn't say anything, only put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Shen Qinglin and muttered: "The Analects. In "Liren", Zi said: "Liren is beautiful. If you don't choose to be benevolent, how can you know? 'What do you mean?' “

Shen Qinglin hurriedly replied: "In the "Notes on the Collection of Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books", it is explained, 'There are benevolent customs in it as beauty, and if you choose it instead of living in it, you will lose its original heart of right and wrong, and you will not know it. ”

"How can this be solved?" Shen Zetang continued to ask.

Shen Qinglin's forehead was already covered with a layer of sweat: "For goodness, you must be cautious of your habits, so you must choose something else where you live." Kong said that benevolence is beautiful, meaning this righteousness, and the husband is benevolent, then the relatives of the day and night are nothing but benevolence; The agreement of discussion is nothing but benevolence. What you hear is the words of benevolence; As far as the eye can see, all the things of the benevolent people, the phase and the grinding, and the gradual staining, the day by day but I don't know it, isn't it also beautiful? ”

Tian Jiang picked a golden peach blossom hairpin brocade box and gave it to Shen Yan, the daughter of the Xue family, and while smiling and accepting her gift, he listened to Shen Erye talking to Shen Qinglin.

Shen Qinglin is not wrong, the pursuit of virtue must correct the habits, is to be more cautious about the place to live, to live in a place of benevolence, day and night touch, hear, see and touch are benevolent things, benevolent words, benevolent deeds, and learn from each other, and be influenced by it every day, so that academic character can gradually improve, and it is beneficial.

Tian Jiang understood what Second Master Shen meant by asking.
