Biyu was sitting anxiously in the study, when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, he felt a little nervous, and the curtain was lifted, but it was his mother. When he saw that his mother had arrived before his father, he felt much more at ease. But when Shi Hui came in, his heart still couldn't stop beating.

Shi Hui sat down, ignoring Biyu for a while, but said to his wife, "How old is De'er this year?" ”

"Husband, you forgot, at this time last year, you organized a grand crown ceremony for him, he was twenty years old last year, and he is twenty-one years old this year." Mrs. Wang didn't know what her husband meant by asking, so she could only answer casually.

"If a person has passed the weak crown, even if he grows up, it is really good. At the age of twenty-one, you can have your own opinions and do not need to be disciplined by your parents. ”

When Biyu heard this, she knew that something was wrong, so she hurriedly stood up and said, "How can my father say that, no matter how old the child is, he has to listen to the discipline of your two elders." ”

"Huh? Is it? Do you think I don't know what you're doing behind your back? Shi Hui suddenly took a few shots, "Why are you stealing Wushisan behind my back?" Also, there are young women coming to the back door every day to offer milk, what is going on? If you can convince me today, if not, I'll let you taste the taste of family law! ”

When it comes to family law, Biyu's heart trembles, because five years ago, when Zhixin fell into the water and disappeared, he had tasted the pain of family law once, and now he didn't want to taste it a second time. He thought in his heart: As far as the two things of raising a human suckling pig and stealing Wushisan are concerned, he thinks that stealing Wushisan is more serious than raising a suckling pig, so the matter of stealing Wushisan will be put later, and first find a suitable reason for the matter of suckling pigs......

Thinking of this, Biyu changed his grinning face and said, "Ah Weng, at the imperial banquet a few months ago, there was a steamed porpoise, remember?" It was selected from the high-quality suckling pig, and it was made by the god chef Xiao Mo, everyone thought it was the most delicious steamed pork in the world, right? But this is not the case. The child heard that the steamed porpoise of the horse king Ji's family is the most delicious steamed porpoise in the world, because the suckling pig is fed with human milk......

"So you want to taste the most delicious steamed pork in the world, don't you? It's nonsense! Do you know that today, although it is already extravagant and exaggerated, if you want to say that the most of them, there are only three people: one is Wang Ji, the concubine, the other is His Majesty's uncle Wang Kai, and the other is Shi Chong, who serves in the middle. Do you want to compare yourself with them? ”

Mrs. Wang also interjected and reprimanded: "Feeding a few suckling pigs with human milk is nothing to our family, but this practice is too absurd, haven't you heard, even the emperor scoffed at this behavior." Besides, the king of the horses is brave and powerful, and he has meritorious service to the court, no matter how much he tosses, he is still a little qualified. But what about you, who are young, what qualifications do you have to follow the trend like this? Mrs. Wang said this, nominally to reprimand her son, but in fact she wanted to make trouble, take the opportunity to help her son, and ease the atmosphere of conflict.

"The child naturally doesn't dare to compare with these three seniors, I want to taste the taste of steamed pork with human milk, but my move is not all for my personal selfish desires, but for the sake of you, father, and our family."

"For me? Forget it, I'm going to hear what kind of justification you have to justify yourself. ”

"I'm really thinking about my father. May I ask my father two things, although my father is now a Ruyin Zhongzheng, he has to be constrained by Jia Gong of Yuzhou Dazhongzheng, right? Also, who has the most power in the Chinese military forces of the DPRK now? ”

"As the Zhongzheng of Ruyin County, I naturally have to be bound by the Yuzhou Dazhongzheng; Since Taikang, His Majesty has only cared about pleasure, and all matters in the court and China have been handed over to the Yang family. If you want to say who has the most power, of course, it is the current national abbot, Empress Yang's father, Yang Jun. ”

"That's right. Presumably my father must know that this Jia Gong is a member of the Yang Party, and he is very close to the Yang family, right? If my father wants to sit firmly in this Ruyin Zhongzheng, and the character of our father and son is improved, can we not please Jia Dazhongzheng? ”

"Naturally, I want to please him, but I haven't thought of a good way yet."

"I've found that way." Biyu changed from the uneasiness just now to a smug tone, "Jia Dazhongzheng is also from a prestigious family, and his family naturally has no shortage of land or money, and what he is pursuing now is just pleasure." I heard that Jia Dazhong is the most coveted Jiang Xiaomo's cooking skills, and his favorite dish is steamed porpoise, but ordinary steamed porpoise naturally can't get into his eyes. If his father could offer him a special steamed pork with human milk made by Zhen Ling Xiaomo, wouldn't he be overjoyed? ”

"This ......" Shi Hui thought silently after listening to his son's words: It's right that he wants to please Jia Gong, Jia Gong is a member of the Yang Party, and now His Majesty favors the Yang Party. Although he knew that this might be his son deceiving himself, the facts were really so reasonable, and he couldn't pursue this matter any further, so he could only say: "Put this aside in advance and don't mention it for the time being." Tell me about your stealing of the Five Stones. ”

Because of the poisonous side effects of Wushisan, Shi Hui explicitly forbade Biyu to come into contact with it, so since he took it that day, for so many days, he couldn't find a reason to prevaricate about this matter.

Shi Hui saw that he was hesitant, so he said angrily: "Not only did you steal Wushisan, but you also suffered from the wind and cold because of Xingsan, and because of this, you couldn't take over the errand to Ruyin. Not to mention the emperor's grace, you also missed a great opportunity to train. Did you know that it's a rare opportunity to do a business trip? Two years of hard work in the original position is not as good as the recognition of your boss who has obtained from this short trip of ten days. is also accepting His Majesty's edict, you look at that poor boy Shu Yan, who followed Jiazhou to Ruyin on an errand, and has returned to Luoyang today. In addition to His Majesty's joy, he has also won his own experience, and naturally increased his bargaining chips in his character evaluation. And you, you have not made any achievements in your career for more than a year, and when you come to the next Zhongzheng evaluation, teach me how to cover it up? ”

Mrs. Wang heard her husband say that it had reached the level of influencing the evaluation of Zhongzheng, so she complained: "Speaking of which, all this is because of the Shi family woman. If she doesn't refuse our proposal, De'er won't be depressed, if she is not depressed, she won't take Wushisan, and if she doesn't take Wushisan, she won't get sick because of Xingsan, and if she doesn't get sick, he can also follow Jia Gong to Ruyin to run the emperor's errand. ”

"Don't blame others. A dignified son of a family, depressed because of a woman, isn't he afraid of making people laugh when he says it? ”

"I'm really depressed that the Shi family didn't agree to my family affairs, but I didn't take Wushisan because of this." Biyu also felt that it was indeed a bit disgraceful to be depressed and sick because the woman rejected his proposal, so he hurriedly argued, "I listened to Xiahoumen and Xun Bao's words, because they told me that if you want to integrate into the circle of scholars, you must go to the Qingtan rally, and most of the people who participate in the Qingtan must take Wushisan." ”

Biyu's words really worked, because Shi Hui also very much hoped that Biyu would integrate into the circle of the scholar clan and become a real scholar of the scholar clan. Although he also knew that the children of the scholar clan were becoming more and more corrupt and degenerate, and he also knew that Qing talk was misleading, but the general environment was like this, he had to let Biyu integrate into it, otherwise, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in this class. "It's also good that you're able to participate in the Qing Tan Ya Gathering. But don't listen to the remarks of those vulgar people, but listen to the opinions of celebrities and celebrities more in order to improve. ”

"Is my uncle of the Yellow Gate Squire a celebrity?"

"Wang Yifu?" Shi Hui asked in surprise, "Of course, he is a first-class talker today." Although you and I have often dealt with some famous metaphysical scholars in the past half of my life, and often participated in talking about metaphysics, I have never been able to grasp the true meaning of metaphysics. Unlike your Uncle Yifu, the exit is subtle. I wonder if they were talking about 'existence', 'talent' or 'famous nature' that day? ”

Biyu said with regret: "I didn't hear it." Because the child went late that day, I didn't hear what they had talked about before, but only a passage at the end of the book of Lao Zhuang. However, although the child's grasp of those subtle mysteries is only scratching the surface, I have some superficial opinions about the 'existence or not', and I would like to share it with my father. ”

"Do you have your own opinions when you first learn? I don't know how thick the sky is! Shi Hui shouted categorically.

"Since De'er said that he has some opinions, he must be a little poundy, so let him talk about it."

Biyu was just lost because his father didn't give him a chance, and he didn't want his mother to redeem himself, so he said happily: "Since my father just mentioned Shu Yan and mentioned Zhongzheng Pindi, then I will take the metaphysics of 'existence or not' as an analogy." May I ask Ah Weng, take me and Shu Yan as an example, who is more appropriate to compare to 'have' and who to 'nothing'? ”

"Huh?" Shi Hui didn't expect Biyu to ask such a strange question, but he thought for a while and quickly gave an answer, "Shu Yan is very hard-working in all aspects, very good, proficient in the Five Classics and Six Arts, and diligent and diligent in Shangshutai, so it is natural to classify him as the 'have' side, and you, you are not as hard as him in terms of merit, and there is nothing remarkable since you became the secretary Lang, so you naturally have to be counted as the 'none' side." ”

"Well, I think so too. In this case, my father must know the truth in the Tao Te Ching, 'there is something for profit, but nothing is for use'. ”

"What's the truth? You tell your mother, you know it, but your mother doesn't know. ”

"Okay." Biyu said with a smug look at this time, "For example, the teacup in Ah Weng's hand, the bottom of the teacup and a circle of walls are tangible, that is, 'there', and the hollow part of the teacup is 'nothing'." Although we have to use this 'being' to drink tea, in fact, the bottom and wall of the teacup only play an auxiliary role, and what we really use is the hollow part of the teacup - that is, the 'nothing' part. Think about it, if the teacup is a solid one, can we still use it to drink tea? Therefore, my 'nothing' is better than Shu Yan's 'yes'. ”

Listening to Biyu's remarks, Mrs. Wang couldn't stop praising it: "This is reasonable. ”

Even Ah Miao and Ah Yan nodded happily. Only Shi Huijue fell into his son's trap, and he reprimanded: "How can people compare with teacups? It's clearly a strong word. ”

"Hmph, if Ah Weng still thinks that I am very reasonable, then I will ask again: I have debated with him a few times in front of His Majesty, and he always has a 'promising' view and likes to deal with everything positively, while I basically hold a 'non-doing' view and likes to let everything be natural. But how did His Majesty ever listen to him? Isn't this what Lao Tzu said, 'doing nothing for the sake of nothing'? So, how can that kid Shu Yan compare to me? ”

"You?" Shi Hui was speechless by his son's argument, and said in his heart: This kid has a very high mind, if he spends a little bit of his time on the Three Profound Five Classics, it would be great.

Although he was angry, Shi Hui was still angry about Biyu Fu Wushisan: "Forget it, I don't want to debate this with you." I'll spare you today, but I'll warn you first, it's okay to study the metaphysics once in a while, but Wushisan is still easy to touch, you know? ”

"Got it." Biyu agreed, and when she saw that her father had let her go, she secretly congratulated herself on her wit, and hurriedly led the two maidservants back to her room.
