"Thank you, Mr. Chen, I don't dare, because our young head hasn't spoken yet. ”

"Just sit down, I'll ask you to be the master today. White-faced scholar Chen Jiageng said.

"Sir is right, just sit down, we are the same clan, and there are some occasions when we don't have to be so clear. ”

Chen Jiageng's words made Chen Xuan very moved and very happy when he heard it, it should be regarded as speaking to his heart.

After listening to their words, especially with his own Chen Xuan's permission, Chen Zhong dared to sit down and listen.

"Brother Chen Xuan, I still have something to say. ”

"Please speak, little brother, I listen to my husband's words, today I really listen to your words, better than ten years of study, not ...... It's better than reading a century-old book. ”

"Don't be so exaggerated, if you want to talk about reading, I do have some useful things to give to my junior brother, which should help your cultivation somewhat. However, my books are mainly literary cultivation, and I don't have martial arts anymore, and I don't ...... either."

"Yes, that's really great, I'll just thank you sir in advance......"

"Okay, don't worry, I'll finish my sentence. I think the younger brother is still missing something very important, which is the art of speaking in terms of literary cultivation. ”

"The Art of Speaking?!"

Chen Jiageng, a white-faced scholar, nodded and said, "Yes, it is the art of speaking." If a person speaks well, or speaks properly, his power is not worse than that of powerful martial arts, and he can also be invincible and invincible. ”

Chen Xuan was surprised: "At the very least, you can make the enemy angry to death, and you can convince your own people as soon as possible, right?!"

"Haha...... At first glance, I could see that the younger brother was a person with a high level of understanding. ”

"How can I see, how do I not know?!"

Chen Xuan felt a little strange, because just a few days ago, everyone in the family, except for his father Chen Ba, thought that Chen Xuan was an out-and-out waste.

Therefore, when he heard Chen Jiageng praise himself, he was still a little unconfident.

"Yes, even though I'm not a good looker, there are thousands of students who have left our academy, and I believe I still have this eyesight. Tan Kah Kee said.

"It seems that Mr. is really full of peach and plum all over the world, and there must be many people who go to the court to serve the country. Chen Xuan asked.

Chen Jiageng thought for a while and said, "The time I have been a teacher at the academy is actually not too long, so far, it has just been ten years. Among the disciples who went out, the vast majority of them either engaged in business or went to the Xunyang Martial Academy to continue their cultivation, and there were indeed very few who went to the imperial court to become officials. Because ......"

He looked at Ji Ruohua, who was listening carefully next to him, and stopped talking.

Ji Ruohua is such a smart person, she quickly understood what he meant, smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "Sir, but it doesn't matter, I will never say that Mr. is not half in front of my father, because Mr. is also loyal to the country, and the country needs someone like Mr. now." If Mr. doesn't dislike it, I can recommend Mr. to seek a half-official position in the court, I don't know what Mr. thinks?!"

Chen Jiageng smiled and said: "I received the kindness of the county lord, but I am born with the character of an idle cloud and wild crane, I am used to being unrestrained, and I am indeed very unaccustomed to it, all kinds of constraints in the court, I am afraid that not only will there be no way to serve the court at that time, but it will become half an hour, and I am afraid that I will not want to see ...... at that time."

"Sir, in that case, then I have nothing to say. I hope that Mr. will continue to cultivate more useful talents for the imperial court in Xunyang Academy in the future, so that Mr. can realize his grand plan. ”

"The county lord's praise is too much, where do I have any grand plans, just to be a teacher and eat a mouthful. Besides, there are so many people like me in the world, people like me who are knowledgeable, it's not worth mentioning. If the county lord really needs this kind of person, I can recommend some students, who are now struggling to serve the country and don't know what the county will do?!"

Ji Ruohua was very happy when she heard this, "That's really good." My father also repeatedly told me that during this trip to Jiangdu, I would visit all the people, hoping to find talents to serve the country. ”

Chen Jiageng said: "There are also talents who serve the country, not to mention far away, there is one next to us." ”

"Who?"

"Far away in front of me, my little brother of the same clan, Chen Xuan's talent is very smart, but there are some small problems to overcome, and I am about to enlighten him. ”

Chen Xuan was about to say a few polite words, but he didn't expect Ji Ruohua to answer in advance, "I see that you are in this same sect, which is indeed a little unpleasant to the eye, just the way he looked in front of his subordinates just now, I am very unaccustomed to it." If the imperial court wants him to march and fight in the future, he will definitely lose the battle like this. As the saying goes, self-cultivation and family rule the country and level the world, this is the development ambition of a man. ”

"Hey, I'm not convinced. As a subject of the Great Chu Empire, I naturally have the obligation to serve the country, but you look at the current imperial court, the traitorous ministers are in charge, and the people are not living, does this situation make us feel cold?!" Chen Xuan said.

"As the head of a country, my father is of course necessary to straighten out the court, but he is single-handed, caught in the whirlpool, and his heart is more than enough. But I am one of his two daughters, although I have some cultivation, but compared to the God Emperor, he is simply not a little bit or two. Therefore, I understand my father's distress very well, and this is also the reason why I still have to defend my father when people under the world scold my father. ”

"Okay, I'm not going to talk about your father. I would like to continue to listen to his teachings, what are the art of speaking?!" Chen Xuan said.

"The art of speaking is very profound, and I think I can only scratch the surface for a while. As you just said, at least you can make the other party angry to death, which is called a soldier who surrenders without a fight. ”

Chen Xuan smiled and said: "A soldier who surrenders without a fight is the highest state of using soldiers, and those of us who cultivate may pursue more than these, but through cultivation, we can achieve a desireless realm." Isn't there a saying, called desirelessness is rigidity, only when people reach this state can they transcend the mortal world, and even eventually cultivate into immortals. ”

Chen Jiageng nodded and said, "Although I don't understand your cultivation methods, I do know one truth, that is, you must be patient and take it step by step. Only in this way can we reach the other side of cultivation. ”

"Sir, I went to the Xunyang Martial Academy to study cultivation this time, and just now Mr. suggested that I strengthen my cultivation, and I very much agree with Mr. Smith's suggestion. In the future, I will often go to Xunyang Academy to learn from Mr. Xunyang, so let's start by learning to speak. ”
