Confucianism often says that the Qi family governs the country and equalizes the world, and also says that they should have a clean breeze and abide by the law, but this sentence is the most contradictory and ironic thing in Shen Ao's view, how should the Qi family be Qi? If you can't make money as an official, your family is waiting to be fed, this is also called the Qi family? But it is more difficult to achieve a clean breeze on two sleeves, which means that there is no money, and there is no money to be a fart; So speaking of which, Lord Tang Yan Tang, he admires, but he doesn't agree! Instead of going to Hai Rui, it is better to be Zhang Juzheng, which is the model of Shilin.

Looking at this arrogant talented woman in front of him, Shen Ao smiled slightly, in this era, the women he saw had different surnames, and it was not for nothing that they had high spirits, but they had never seen anyone with ambitions like this Miss Mo'er.

In this era, a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and there is nothing to say about a woman to make some poetry and spices, but she loves scriptures and articles, which is a bit weird.

It's no wonder that this Tang talented girl sighed melancholy, people like her are actually the most painful, self-pitying, but they can't display their talents like men all their lives, and what they are facing is only Qingge Comb, who is a bosom friend?

After thinking about it, Shen Ao said, "Miss Mo'er's words just now are wrong. ”

Mo'er came back to her senses, there was still a little melancholy on her pretty face, and she asked in a low voice, "Please show Shen Gongzi, what's wrong with Mo'er?" Her words were gentle, but there was a hint of rigidity.

Shen Ao said slowly: "I want to ask, what is Miss Mo'er for breaking the question, undertaking the topic, familiarizing herself with the Four Books and Five Classics, and reciting the Outline of the History of the Book of Poetry?" ”

This question made Mo'er speechless, and some doubts flashed in her eyes, what was it for? That's a good question!

Shen Ao looked at Mo'er's reaction, and he already knew it in his heart, but he asked with an easy-going smile on his face: "Miss Mo'er, doesn't she want to learn from Lingzun, the title of the gold list, and ascend to the Tianzi Hall?" ”

After hearing this, Mo'er raised her eyebrows in annoyance, a little unwillingness flashed in her eyes, she bit her lip, and said, "Why can't women be like this, this is what Mo'er is most puzzled about." If Mo'er goes to apply for the imperial examination, it is not difficult to be named on the gold list! ”

Shen Ao continued to laugh and said, "Then after the title of the gold list, what will Miss Mo'er do?" ”

Mo'er was stunned for a while, and doubts rose in her heart, what happened after the title of the gold list? Where did she think? It's a stagnant again.

Without waiting for Mo'er to answer, Shen Ao sighed and said, "Look at Ling Zun, it is also the title of the gold list, but what?" ”

This sentence made Tang Yan's face red, coughed, and said with some embarrassment: "Shen Ao......"

"Ah......" Shen Ao was speechless for a while, and actually only cared about talking to Miss Tang, but he was negligent to Lord Tang, cough cough, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Lord Tang is full of peach and plums all over the world, and students have no intention of using Lord Tang as a negative teaching material."

Tang Yan couldn't understand the four words of the negative textbook, but when he saw Shen Ao admit his mistake, he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb and expose it.

Shen Ao continued to say to Mo'er: "Therefore, reading is not just for the imperial examination, let alone to show off, after reading the book and understanding the truth of all things in the world, you are already very content, but why do you have to apply what you have learned?" is really on the career path, there are only two walks, one is like Ling Zun, with two sleeves and a breeze, which is fine. But the other way is more difficult, you have to learn to bow your head under power, you have to learn how to do bad things, to learn to sycophant and welcome, is this also what Miss Mo'er is faintly looking forward to? ”

Shen Ao's words made sense, but there was a little bit of it, but it was more of a nonsense, which made Tang Yan speechless, this guy is very suspicious of scolding the bald donkey in front of the monk!

At this moment, Mo'er thought deeply in her heart, but she was quite touched, and said slightly: "Gongzi Xie advises, Gongzi is right, reading is reading, but Mo'er wants to ask, what is Childe's ambition?" ”

was asked by Mo'er, Shen Ao's old face turned red, this Mo'er is so deceitful, she has read too much, and her stomach is full of bad water, so she taught her to study for Mingzhi, and now she cross-examines herself, if she answers for Mingzhi, her next sentence must be since it is Mingzhi will not participate in the imperial examination in the future, but if she answers that it is for the sake of being an official, it is equivalent to all the nonsense she just said, and she is bent on becoming an official, but she is righteously teaching others to Mingzhi, this ...... This one...... If it's a pit, it's for yourself!

If it had been someone else, it would have been through the cracks in the ground long ago; Shen Ao said confidently: "Studying under the school, the purpose is naturally to be an official." ”

Mo'er's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning: "Oh? Didn't Childe say that reading was for Mingzhi? ”

Shen Ao sighed: "I'm different from you, you see, you will have your parents to support you in the future, and when you get out of the pavilion, and your husband will take care of you, you only need to take care of the housework, and you will be carefree in this life." But in the future, if you want to marry a wife and have children, and you want to maintain the livelihood of a family, will you be able to read so much money to support your family just by studying? I wanted to be ambitious but couldn't get it, so I had to fall into the cliché and become an official, in fact, this official, do you think I want to be an official? I don't want to do it, but the situation forces me to teach my future wife and children to eat the northwest wind together, right? So I envy Miss Mo'er very much, Mo'er has such conditions to be able to calm down and study hard, but in Xia, she has to covet this mundane thing, and use this book as a stepping stone to do it. ”

Mo'er heard Shen Ao's wife on the left and children on the right, her pretty face turned red, and she snorted inaudibly, quite Shen Ao's mouth was full of truth, but her stomach was full of shame for male thieves and female prostitutes, and she murmured: "It seems that the son said this, but you would rather have a daughter?" ”

Shen Ao said: "Men and daughters are born equal, but the division of labor is different, each has its own suffering, why envy others!" ”

Mo'er smiled slightly, only feeling that Shen Ao's words seemed to be full of loopholes, but she couldn't find a flaw for a while, so she pursed her lips and said: "Shen Gongzi's words made the slave mouth stop, let's ask for advice next time." ”

As she spoke, Mo'er didn't wait for the others to respond, she turned around and walked towards the curtain, lifted the curtain, and covered her shadow behind the curtain.

"Hey......" Tang Yan sighed: "The old man, this daughter ......" Then, he glanced at the curtain vigilantly, and cautiously stopped talking, as if he was afraid of being heard: "Come, drink, drink bar." ”

After a few glasses of wine, Shen Ao smacked his lips and said: "My lord, it's not too early, my cousin and I should also say goodbye, the New Year is approaching, I wish you good luck and good health." Shen Ao doesn't know if there is a New Year's greeting this year, but it is always not wrong to say something auspicious.

Zhou Heng also stood up, he had been sitting for half an hour, and it was uncomfortable to be put aside, but he couldn't say anything, so he also said, "My lord, the student is gone." ”

Tang Yan wanted to stay, and Shen Ao said: "I will visit the doctors' homes later." ”

When Tang Yan heard this, he sent the two out, and said: "This is what you should do, you always can't stay, come and sit when you have time, and the old man has nothing to do at home." ”

Walking to the courtyard, Tang Yan smiled bitterly in a low voice: "Shen Ao, if the old man's daughter says something wrong, don't be surprised." ”

Shen Ao smiled back, and said with a straight face: "Miss Tang is very good, she is both beautiful and talented, I can say a few more words to her, Shen Ao is already content, where do you dare to be strange; Such a strange woman, I'm afraid that the world won't find a second one. ”

Tang Yan sighed: "It's a pity that it's a daughter!" What's the use of reading as many books? She is not young anymore, and the media-keeper has also broken through the threshold, but ...... Hey, her heart is high, ordinary men look down on her, I knew this, I shouldn't have taught her to read, or the old saying is good, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and the old man is really confused. ”

Shen Ao was speechless, but a woman like this in this era is different; He finally understood the truth that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, his daughter's family has read a lot, naturally, her ambition is also high, where do ordinary men put it in their eyes, even if she is willing, people will marry her, and her knowledge is higher than that of her husband.

It seems that women are sometimes stupid, and a few men stood in the snowdrift and sighed.

Tang Yan smiled bitterly: "Hey, Mo'er is almost ten years old, and if she doesn't look for a family affair, who else will dare to marry if this delay continues?" The old man is now worried about two things, one is Guozijian and the other is Mo'er. ”

Double ten? Less than twenty years old, this is also an old girl? Lord Tang, have you ever considered this son?

Shen Ao shouted in his heart, his face was almost cold, but he said very seriously: "Miss Mo'er is so smart, she will definitely find a good family." ”

Farewell to Tang Yan, and then went to the house of Dr. Qin and other doctors, this all came down, and when I returned to the Zhou Mansion, it was already the middle of the night, and the clothes worn by the three of them were piled up with thick snow, and after shaking it, the snow flakes fell in a row, and a night finally passed in fatigue.

……………………………………………………………………………………………… The last cold winter of the fourth year of Xuanhe, in the fog, the entire Zhou Mansion was already busy, posting lanterns, distributing vegetables and fruits, the busiest was only afraid of Liu Wen, today is the first year of Liu Wen's promotion as the head of the Inner Mansion, naturally he has to work harder, pointing to the chaos of the east and west, he almost forgot to send the young lady and the young master to send breakfast, patted his forehead, shouted Damn, the young master is not enough, his surname is good, this kind of trivial matter will not be bothered with people, but the surname of the young lady, Liu Wen is not sure, hurriedly asked someone to send it, and personally took the pastries to Shen Ao's residence.

This time, it was empty, there seemed to be no one in the room, anyway, I couldn't see the figure of the young master after calling for a long time, and the young master went out early in the morning? It happened that a few girls were passing by, Liu Wen put on the main shelf, beckoned them over, and asked, "Who saw the young master?" ”

A few girls were not afraid of this matter, and a few of them were still serving Mrs. and Miss, and their status was different, so they laughed and said, "Young Master? Just now I saw him picking a few plum blossoms in the back garden, and left in a hurry, by the way, the big man also followed. ”

"Big?" Liu Wen was full of doubts: "What big guy?" ”

"Since he is the idle Yu Hou, hmph, Cheng Yue knows that he is teasing us girls, and he said that he wants us to see his baby......" A few girls blushed and couldn't help but take a sip.

Liu Wen was speechless, so he had to say, "You guys go." I couldn't help but think in my heart: This young master hasn't eaten breakfast yet, hey, young people are like this, it's really instructive.

Shen Ao rode a horse, facing the wind and snow, but arrived at the Flower Pavilion early in the morning, looking at the buildings of the Flower Pavilion, thinking that he already had half of the shares, his heart was very happy, but today, he didn't come for this.

Bolting the horse under the dead tree next to the road, Deng Long also followed, and said with a smile: "Shen Gongzi, you won't stop at the end of the year, won't this be a little bad, otherwise, let's come back at another time, right?" ”

The Flower Pavilion was closed today, Shen Ao knocked, and someone inside said absentmindedly: "Go, go, go, don't do business today." ”

The service attitude was too bad, Shen Ao wiped a handful of mist on his face, a trace of coldness dripping down his cheeks, and shouted towards the hook bar on the second floor: "Zhen Zhen, Zhen Zhen is not there?" ”

"Wow, Shen Gongzi is really different, even visiting the Flower Pavilion is different from others." Deng Long sighed in his heart, and hurriedly involuntarily stayed away from him, saving himself from ruining his reputation.

A head poked out of the hook bar on the second floor, but they were all lazy beauties, and someone scolded: "Do you teach Miss Ben to sleep early in the morning?" Hey, who's calling? Fu Rong, go and drive people away. ”

Others laughed sneeringly: "Little brother, are you looking for Huanhuan or Ye'er?" The slave family is called the cardinal, and if you call the cardinal sister, I will ask Furong to open the door for you. ”

Shen Ao was speechless, he was molested, shouldn't this son blush and pretend to be pure? Hey, forget it!

smiled and said to the beauty, "Sister Cardinal......"

Shushu Yuan just laughed with Shen Ao, and when he saw that he really called it, and he called it so sweetly, he immediately laughed with a smile: "Where did you come from, the son is so thick-skinned, okay, I'll ask someone to open the door for you." ”

After a while, a crack quietly opened in the crimson door of the Flower Pavilion, and an old man showed his eyes and glanced out, and said with a tiger face: "Childe, the girls of the Flower Pavilion are not visitors today, even if they are not interested, they may not be able to see you." ”

Shen Ao smiled and said, "I'm not a guest, I'm your new owner, ah, didn't Gonggong Yang tell you?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, then reacted and asked, "You are Shen Ao Shen Gongzi?" ”

Shen Ao coughed and said, "Usually others call me Shen Dacai, but well, forget it, I don't care, let me in quickly, Miss Zhen Zhen is not there?" ”

The old man's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Yes, yes...... It turned out to be Shen Gongzi, why didn't you say it earlier, Gonggong Yang came a few days ago, and he specially mentioned you, hurry, it's cold outside, come in and talk. ”
