Chapter 291: Promoting Filial Piety through Illness (1)

After Sima Lun made the decision to reinstate Shu Yan, the most uneasy thing was Shi Hui. The reason for his uneasiness is not that he is worried about how to re-evaluate Shu Yan's authentic products, but that he is mainly worried that Shu Yan's return will dominate the coquettishness of Ruyin Shiren, thus covering up the scenery of his son Biyu. Especially in the middle of Ruyin, Shu Yan will become the most powerful potential competitor for Biyu. Although Zhongzheng is all controlled by the wang clan, and the Hanmen have almost no chance of getting involved, there is no absolute in everything, not to mention that there is no clear provision in the law that the Hanmen are not allowed to be Zhongzheng.

Iron also needs to be hard. Since Shu Yan's return cannot be prevented, it is necessary to improve his competitiveness, such as his achievements in career and improve his own morality. However, Biyu's temperament is completely opposite to that of his father, and he has no enterprising spirit, especially after being completely hopeless Zhixin, he is even more depressed.

Although Shi Hui was anxious, there was no way. There are a few new peonies in the back garden, which are about to bloom, and he is depressed about the flowers in the back garden every day. Who knew that not only did it fail to solve its worries, but it was infected with the wind and cold. However, this illness made him think of a good idea, thinking that this method was a perfect opportunity to improve his son's virtue.

As a country of etiquette, China advocates loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. Filial piety, in particular, is the first of all virtues. Whether it is the Analects or the Book of Rites, there is nothing in almost all classics that does not advocate filial piety. Filial piety is not only the foundation of personal self-cultivation, but also considered by the ruler to be the foundation of governance. As long as a person has a reputation for filial piety, even if it is not very significant in other aspects, it will be recognized by the world, and his virtue will be greatly improved.

Since ancient times, many big names have been known for their filial piety. The most famous filial son of this dynasty was Wang Xiang. His stepmother wanted to eat fresh carp, but it was winter, and fresh carp was very rare, so Wang Xiang took off his clothes, lay naked on the ice, and melted the ice with the warmth of his body to find fresh carp. This move moved the township and was widely recited, so that he later lived in the three dukes, and the glory was incomparable. Far from it, Shu Yan can also be regarded as a figure of both talent and virtue, but his statement is also largely established by his filial piety to his grandfather and Xie Yi. Shi Hui knew the importance of this, and he wanted to make a fuss about filial piety, so that everyone in Luoyang City would know his son's filial piety, so as to enhance his son's prestige.

In the name of appreciating flowers and talking, Shi Hui wanted to invite the wealthy families in Luoyang City to be spectators and watch himself and his son perform a play. In the past few days, he has stepped up to make specific arrangements and training for Biyu, the "protagonist" of this scene, such as carefully asking himself for advice, how to take medicine with his own hands, and when to personally take care of soup. Let him show his filial piety in front of all celebrities.

Biyu has always been clothed to reach out for food to open his mouth on weekdays, and his life has to be taken care of by others, where has he ever done the work of serving people? But my father demanded it so much that he had to do it. Although Shi Hui knew that this was tantamount to chasing ducks to the shelves, he also had to sharpen his guns on the spot. If you want to learn quickly, you can't do it without a good teacher. A good teacher doesn't have to find someone else, Ah Miao and Ah Yan are experts in this area, and they are the most convenient with Biyu. Shi Hui asked his son to follow Ah Miao and Ah Yan to learn how to serve people. In order to prevent mistakes, Ah Miao and Ah Yan were also asked to follow Biyu on the day of "acting", so that they could be reminded at any time.

After a few days, the peony flowers were in full bloom, and Shi Hui first placed an invitation two days ago and prepared a delicious meal. In the Wei and Jin dynasties, there was nothing faster than drinking wine and enjoying flowers and talking. Everyone is willing to participate in such an occasion, not to mention that the host is still a relative of the emperor who is thriving in prestige, and a giant secretary of the dynasty? The guests arrived as promised.

More than 20 tables and seats were placed in the back garden of Shifu, and the guests sat in columns. Shi Hui was accompanied by the lord, and first arched his hand and said: "There are a few new peonies in the garden, which are bright. If I am the only one who appreciates it, it is really a bit tyrannical. The so-called 'solo pleasure is not as good as crowd pleasure', today we have prepared a little thin wine and invite you to enjoy it together. Ahem......" As he spoke, he coughed deliberately twice, "Everyone is a celebrity today, and they are also contemptible friends and close friends. Ahem......"

Everyone was a little surprised when they saw that Shi Hui was not in good spirits, and coughed twice in a few words, so they argued: "Shi Hou looks pale today, and he coughs again and again, is there any discomfort in his body?" ”

Shi Hui pretended to be more sickly, and said in a slightly apologetic tone: "The day before yesterday was fine, but who knew that I felt a little cold in the past two days, and it was really unfortunate to rush on this day." ”

Shang Shu ordered Wang Yan to say: "Enjoying the flowers and drinking, you must have fun, since my sister-in-law is unwell, why bother with Naer, it is better to meet another day." Then he got up.

Xun Bao's father, Xun Guanglu, was also present. Shi Hui had an argument with him in the court the day before yesterday, and there was a little estrangement between the two of them. The principle of benevolent officialdom is to unite all those who can be united, and he specially invited him this time for the purpose of eliminating estrangement. Xun Guanglu didn't want to come in the first place, but he couldn't wipe off his feelings, but now when he heard Wang Yan say this, he also wanted to leave.

His condition is not serious at all, it has improved a lot, and today it is basically half really sick and half pretending. This is just a game he has carefully arranged, if it is disturbed, won't it be in vain? Seeing that someone was leaving, he hurriedly stopped: "Wait." Although there are occasional minor illnesses in the body, there is not much hindrance. Moreover, today is to enjoy the flowers through wine, mainly to enjoy the flowers, but drinking is secondary. Wine is often available, but it is rare to bloom. Now that the flowers are in full bloom, it will take a year to miss it, so I implore you to stay. ”

Everyone sees that the master sincerely wants to stay, and what he says is reasonable, who can be so boring? They were all left behind.

The benevolent arranger poured wine and served food diligently, and tried his best to accompany him. Most of the people here are famous people, who are happy to talk elegantly. Although Shi Hui occasionally mixed in, in the eyes of these people, Shi Hui was too much of a wealth seeker, and it was really unbearable to be vulgar, and they did not regard him as his own kind. In addition, he is not in good condition today, so everyone sings to each other, talks about Lao Zhuang, and does not bother him. Benevolence is covered by illness, and it is also happy.

About half an hour later, Biyu walked into the garden according to the instructions in advance, followed by Ah Miao and Ah Yan. Shi Hui caught a glimpse of him, so he called, "De'er, come and see all the distinguished guests." ”

Biyu glanced at everyone and saluted everyone. Although these celebrities do not agree with the benevolence, they show Biyu as a fellow Taoist, and they are very happy to see Biyu coming, and they greet Biyu and say: "Come and sit together, we will learn from each other." ”

Of course, Biyu is also willing to mix with these people, and she can't wait to join them immediately, but she has her own strict and uninteresting father, knowing that this can't be achieved at all. He obediently stood beside his father. According to the predetermined process, the first step after returning home was to ask about his father's condition, but he stood for a long time without saying a word. No one knows if he forgot about it or if he deliberately didn't speak.

Shi Hui was in a hurry, so he could only open his mouth first and lead him: "Did you just come back from the Secretary's Pavilion?" ”

Biyu didn't know what he was thinking, and his father asked, but he didn't answer. He was originally a little arrogant and cold, but now he is even more silent.

Ah Miao, who was standing next to him, hurriedly said to Yuanchang: "Isn't it, the prince just came back from the court, and he didn't rest for a moment, and rushed over to greet the head of the family." After that, he poked Biyu's arm with his hand, and whispered in his ear: "Speak." ”

Bi Yuru woke up from the dream, bowed down and said, "Father, are you feeling better?" ”

Shi Hui nodded slightly, and deliberately raised his voice in front of everyone: "It's rare that my son is so filial to me, serving my sleep every day, and boiling medicine for me with his own hands." Not to mention, since drinking the medicine you brewed, it is indeed better than yesterday...... Ahem. Shi Hui coughed twice more deliberately.

When everyone heard the conversation between the father and son, they didn't know the truth, and they praised one after another:

"There are countless servants and maids in your mansion, and it is really rare for the prince to boil medicine for his father with his own hands."

"When parents come to them, they must do it themselves, this is true filial piety. No matter how many servants and maids there are, no matter how well they serve, they are two different things from their own filial piety. What Shi Gongzi did was true filial piety. ”

Shi Hui listened to everyone's praise and was very satisfied. At this moment, the cook brought a soup with a bowl in front of each person. The guests all drank with relish. Shi Hui picked up the spoon and deliberately shook his hand to show that it was a little inconvenient for him to eat the soup with his own hands.

Biyu was still stunned, and Ah Yan gave him a look next to him. Biyu will understand, "Father is not feeling well, so let the child serve and eat." ”

Shi Hui waited for this sentence, and immediately said: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

The same newly served food may quickly cool down, but the soup is the slowest to dissipate. On weekdays, Ah Miao and Ah Yan wait for the soup to be not very hot before serving it to Biyu. Even if you are in a hurry and can't wait for natural heat dissipation, at least stir or blow. Biyu didn't pay attention to this, and directly scooped a spoonful of hot soup and sent it to his father's mouth. Ah Miao and Ah Yan didn't pay attention, they just said a few words privately, but it was too late to stop them. Shi Hui himself was also pretending to be sick, half-squinting and not paying attention, opening his mouth to eat, but he was so scalded that he grinned, couldn't swallow, couldn't spit out, and couldn't spit out, so he could only hold it in his mouth and keep inhaling and shaking his tongue.

"Ahem, cough, cough, cough......" This time it was not pretended, but it was a real cough.

Someone hurriedly reminded: "Quickly feed Ling Zun some food and suppress the cough." ”

Biyu didn't know how to serve people, and after this accident, he was a little in a hurry, and there were a variety of food and delicacies in several cases, but he didn't know which one to feed.

Xun Guanglu saw a few bright yellow oranges on several cases, and said: "Tangerines dissolve phlegm and relieve cough, and this is the best thing." ”

Shi Hui coughed, but did not forget to interject: "Extremely, extremely." In the past few days, my son always peeled oranges to relieve my cough. ”

Biyu reached out and picked out a large orange, but he was not familiar with how to peel it, but as soon as he used force, the orange juice just moistened his father's face, and even his eyes went in. Now it's okay, not only do I cough even more, but I choke so much that even tears come out. Shi Hui's face was flushed, he couldn't say a word, and he was very embarrassed.

Ah Miao and Ah Yan were scared and anxious. Ah Miao had no choice but to pull Biyu aside, peel the orange herself, and whispered to him, "Go and beat your back." ”

Biyu stood behind her father and clenched her fists to beat her back, as light as a small drum, but as slow as a big drum. Ah Yan saw that he really didn't look good, so she had to replace him and beat him herself.

Ah Yan has always rubbed Biyu's shoulders and beaten her back, and her skills are very skillful. After this beating, Shi Hui felt much better. In addition, after eating the oranges peeled by Ah Miao, he slowly suppressed the cough, but his eyes were still closed. He only heard Ah Miao say just now that he asked Biyu to beat his back, and he didn't know that Ah Yan had been replaced in a coma. I felt very relieved to myself: "It's rare that my son beats my back for me every day, and this technique and strength are getting more and more proficient." ”

When the crowd heard this, they burst into laughter. Shi Hui was puzzled by this laughter, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Biyu was standing on the side with his head down, but it was Ah Yan who was beating his back. He was very embarrassed, but fortunately he was sick and could not see the change in his complexion.

Some people died, but not completely......
