Chapter 394

Sending Mama Geng away, Shen Hao went to Zhu Bitang with a wooden box.

Shen Xinyan is still recuperating at home.

Because Luo didn't allow him to read books and play chess, he simply set up a reclining chair in the courtyard and called Shi Mi and his son, Qiu Gao, Shen Xincheng, and Shen Dian to come, and a few people chatted.

After talking for a short time, Shi Mi and Shen Xincheng couldn't help but mention the matter of the court to Shen Xinyan, and asked him what kind of new policy he mentioned in the recital he asked Shen Hao to send.

Fang Fei, who was deliberately left by Luo to "take care of" next to her, coughed and bombarded people respectfully: "Our lady must have come in to discuss things with the uncle after receiving the reward from Zhaorong Niangniang, the slave should go and prepare some tea fruits for the lady, what does the uncle need?" ”

Shi Mi and Shen Xincheng looked at each other, and they couldn't help but laugh at each other, and simply stood up: "Brother Xinyan has been in the Ministry of Rites for four years, and he must teach the children in their homework." The two of us went out for a walk. ”

Shen Xinyan nodded with a smile and didn't send them.

The two of them went outside to find a place to have a long talk, but it turned out to be irreversible. Not to mention.

Here, Shen Xinyan taught the three teenagers to read, and asked them about their homework, what they liked and disliked in their daily lives. The three children said respectfully, and then they all waited quietly for Shen Xinyan to teach them the principles of life.

Shen Xinyan didn't say that, only said what books he usually likes to read, and told them that they could hear what books are being read in the Hanlin Academy, and commented with a smile: "Zi said, learn without thinking, and if you don't think about it, you will die." So, read more books and realize for yourself. Which level of enlightenment depends on your heart and vision. Some people can see the truth of life when they look at the recipes, while some people can't see the admiration of the world when they look at the mediocrity of the Analects. It's all normal. ”

Shen Dian was the eldest of the three, and when he heard this, he frowned and shook his head, and couldn't help it: "I followed Mr. Ruan to sort out his past manuscripts for him for a while, and I felt that he was very entangled. Sometimes the book is angry, and the sword marks are vertical and horizontal; Sometimes I feel that utilitarianism is vain and calculating. According to Uncle Yan, this must be a different article written by him at different times, and it has undergone great changes? ”

Shen Xinyan nodded approvingly: "Dian'er is transparent." Exactly. Confirm what you know, and deduce what you don't learn from what you know. This road, Dian'er can walk. ”

Qiu Gao began to look at the sky in a daze again, and asked Shen Xinyan with some uncertainty for a while: "Uncle, I often want to fly to the sky, and I want to know what is behind the clouds, it's not that I'm ill-hearted, it's not whimsical, isn't it?" ”

Shen Xinyan smiled.

Shen Dian and Shi Xiang couldn't help but look at him curiously.

Shi Xiang even opened his eyes and asked with envy: "Cousin of the Qiu family, have you thought of it?" What should be behind the clouds? ”

Qiu Gao was very embarrassed, raised his hand and touched his nose: "My mother said it was God." ”

There was a snort at the gate of the courtyard.

Everyone looked up and saw that it was Luo and Shen Hao coming.

The three teenagers quickly stood up, and everyone saluted each other.

Shen Xinyan looked at Luo with a smile: "Go and change your clothes, loosen up." ”

Roche knew that her husband had not finished talking to the children, so she agreed and entered the inner room with a smile.

Only then did Shen Xinyan turn to Qiu Gao and said softly, "Then do you think your mother is right?" ”

Qiu Gao blinked, a little confused, raised his head and looked at the sky again: "God is different from us, right?" Isn't it a man but a god, and it has so much power to cover the whole earth?

"I know that there is a span in the west, and there is a great food in the west, but what about further west? I've never heard of borders. To the east is the sea, but on the other side of the sea there is a kingdom of Wa. I have met the Japanese people in Guangzhou, and they say that the sea is still in the east, but no one dares to say whether there are other countries in the sea in the east.

"If the earth is as big as we don't know, then how does God, the god, rule over the whole world?

"There are stars and moons in the night, and days and days and clouds. I always felt as if there was nothing in the sky.

"There...... Well, I don't know exactly what it is, but I want to check it out. ”

Shen Hao smiled and dragged a small pestle to sit next to Shen Xinyan, holding his cheeks and looking at Qiu Gao, full of appreciation.

This teenager is worthy of growing up in a place like Guangzhou, and his vision is really different.

Shen Xinyan also smiled, and nodded again and again: "Gao'er's thoughts seem uninhibited, but they are actually extremely interesting. You must have been torn up, right? ”

Qiu Gao embarrassedly reached out to touch his nose again and nodded.

Shi Xiao was at a loss: "? What is it? ”

Shen Dian grabbed him by the shoulder and whispered to him: "I have it at home, I'll show it to you when I turn around." ”

Shi Xiao nodded happily.

"There are the most strange and immortal people in ancient times, and there are many legends in the former Tang Dynasty. You young people, you like to see this, and you are right. As long as it's not just about 'knowing', that's fine. For example, Gao'er is excellent now, and you want to go up and have a look, so you're thinking about how to fly into the sky, right? ”

Shen Xinyan didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of non-business, but gave Qiu Gao advice with great interest. "I have a friend in the Ministry of Works. He is in charge of the rivers, lakes, seas, and ditches of the world. I'll ask him to help you find out if there's anyone there thinking about something like you. If so, let me tell you, you can go and see how people do what they do to make things that can fly, okay? ”

Qiu Gao was so excited that he almost jumped up, and the chick nodded like a peck pecking rice: "Uncle, is someone doing this specially?" Can I go to the Ministry of Engineering for an apprenticeship? ”

Shen Xinyan laughed, shook his head and said, "That's the six departments of the imperial court!" How can you let a white person go in for an apprenticeship? If you really want to look through those tools from the past and the present, you must first obtain the qualification of the Ministry of Works......"

Shen Hao stuck out his tongue beside him: "Jinshi and the first are stepping stones." Cousin Qiu is at this age, and it is not good for students to take the entrance exam, so he can only enter the Ministry of Engineering in the Year of the Monkey? ”

Qiu Gao was deflated and listless: "But I don't like to read those books." ”

Shen Xinyan had already seen Shen Mi standing at the gate of the courtyard, but he refused to remind Qiu Gao, but quietly squeezed his daughter's hand.

Shen Hao understood, and said to Qiu Gao quietly: "I heard that Taizu had a lot of wonderful ideas back then. Heaven also has this one. But that thing can go up to see what's in the heavens and down to see what's on the earth. When used in the siege of cities, it is the supreme weapon.

"Therefore, this kind of thing, the imperial court will never let it flow outside. If Cousin Qiu really wants to study this thing in the future, he is not an official of the imperial court, and he is afraid that he will be questioned if he studies it privately. ”

Shen Xinyan continued with this and smiled his head: "I have turned over that book a few times in Jixian Palace. But the court has a law, and I told you, and my head will not be saved. ”

Qiu Gao looked at his father and daughter blankly, for a long time, gritted his teeth: "Take the test, who is afraid of whom!?" ”

The anger on Shen Mi's face suddenly disappeared, but he refused to appear at this time to hit his son, waved his hand at his brother, and quietly turned around and left with someone.
