Chapter 36: Worries
"Is there anything the colt wants to do?"
"I want to be with you all the time."
"Do you have a place you want to go?"
"I'm in your heart, and I don't want to go."
…… I'm getting down to business.
Happy days are always short-lived, and sweet times are always the most urgent.
It's only been a few good days, and trouble comes to the door again.
It's really a wave of unevenness.
This time, the problem lies with the Shen family.
The old man of the Shen family has always been an ordinary businessman, a businessman, who has become a relative of the emperor and the country, and has floated. The lintel of the Shen family was originally not high, and he barely lifted a man from the third grade, which can be regarded as the honor of the saint.
At this time, you should know in your heart.
Master Shen is just a no-brainer.
Originally, he was not very close to his son, but the newlyweds were all branched out, and he didn't count in his heart, and he was getting younger and younger.
Perhaps in response to the saying from the world, when the poor have wealth, they will be more arrogant and lascivious than the rich, and when a poor person has power, he will be more wanton than the world. The old man of the Shen family is already in Luoyang, although he has no real power, he has an unusual princess as his daughter-in-law, and once he gained power, he really had no one in his eyes.
Luoyang, the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties, is not a simple city. The former Sui capital is here, and many unambitious imperial relatives and nobles of the former dynasty are also here, and when Master Shen first arrived, he was still trembling, polite, and cautious, but these people knew that this was Princess Taiping's father-in-law, where could they be lazy? After a few days, Master Shen realized the beauty of power, and began to act domineeringly. Widowed in the early years, he has been lingering in the Qinglou, and when he arrived in Luoyang, he naturally wanted to see the famous flowers, in order to compete for a card, Master Shen directly put out the name of the horse, "In the next is not talented, but the dog is quite outstanding, but it is the right scattered rider Shen Sanwen." As soon as these words came out, everyone didn't dare to fight anymore, and if they didn't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, Princess Taiping couldn't afford to provoke her. But in the bottom of his heart, he will not be convinced, but he is a businessman, so angry, there is no one in his eyes.
Therefore, although Chang'an was far away, in three days, this matter was transmitted back from Luoyang.
The father of the horse shouted "Princess Taiping is my daughter-in-law" in order to compete for the Oiran of Qinglou, which caused a sensation in Chang'an and became the talk of Chang'an's magnates after dinner.
The others did not dare to mention this matter to the princess and the concubine, only Wang Bin knew that Shen Sanwen had always been at odds with his father, and immediately came to inform Shen Sanwen about it.
Shen Sanwen already had some gains and losses, and now he is even more anxious.
Such fish lips are really unbearable. Discrediting yourself and damaging the princess's reputation may be a catastrophe for herself!
Shen Sanwen had to be cautious.
Princess Taiping doesn't need to worry about these little things, but she must not become the second Xue Shao, and the Shen family must deal with it well.
There are many people in the four veins of the Shen family, and Shen Sanwen plans to understand them one by one and deal with them as soon as possible.
Shen Sanwen told the princess about this, although she didn't know the specific situation, her father-in-law was really hopeless.
The princess felt that it was a trivial matter, and it had nothing to do with her that the father-in-law, whom she had never met, had trouble in Luoyang.
Left and right, power is used.
Well, this is Wu Zetian's own daughter.
Shen San asked: "These things must not be allowed to happen again, if the queen mother thinks that you are wrong to marry me, then I will never recover." ”
The princess felt that he was too worried, but it was a good thing that the colt was concerned with fame, and it was easy to deal with it.
So, Shen Sanwen wrote a long letter, accusing the people of Luoyang of not knowing how to collect the funeral, being ignorant, and making many enemies, or it won't be long before he would serve three years of filial piety, and warned the children of the family to be kind to others.
Master Shen knew the rumors in the capital, and it was obvious that someone attacked him, and he collected a lot of money to save his life.
Since then, Master Shen, the two elder brothers, and the children of the Shen family who have the power in their hands, Shen Sanwen has sent a special person to keep an eye on it, and report it every month, especially those who have intersections with the Sanpin masters, and report immediately.
He also ran schools in the Shen Mansion in Chang'an and Jiangxi, invited famous gentlemen to teach, and set the family rules, no matter whether the descendants of the Shen family were grandchildren, and those aged five to twelve must learn literature and martial arts in the academy until they were sixteen years old.
The princess's mansion has a lot of money, so she spends it casually; No one in the Shen family dared to question his decision. It is very easy to run a school and hire people to supervise.
Running a school, in the long run, will inevitably promote the prosperity of the family. Reading and reasoning, learning martial arts to strengthen the body, the Shen family can have more talents in the future.
Shen Sanwen was particularly energetic. Personally supervised, developed the course schedule.
Unlike a master in the family who taught for a long time, the Shen Mansion was five celebrities who took turns to fight.
It is divided into two subjects, enlightenment and children, and children are divided into subjects such as classics and history, literature, etc., and after enlightenment, they learn specific categories one by one.
The specific schedule is that the master will teach in the morning, half of the afternoon will be spent reviewing and communicating with each other, the other half will be spent exercising, weekly exchanges and evaluations, and then two days off. The exchange needs to select the winner in everyone's mind, week after week, month after month, to improve knowledge and warm conversation.
The content of the teaching is mainly traditional Confucianism.
This move should be beneficial to the entire Shen family, and also choose a few helpers for yourself.
Chang'an is executed very smoothly, after all, he comes to supervise from time to time, but it is difficult in Jiangxi.
Shen Sanwen was not happy in his heart.
It's just a small force in two rooms, what are you doing against me, a colt? Okay, let's divide the family, I will be a relative of the emperor in these two rooms, and I will be the Shen family in Chang'an in the future, the same ancestor will not be sacrificed, two roads, you can choose. Under high pressure, the situation is much more optimistic.
The concept of concubines was really important in the Tang Dynasty. The eldest wife gives birth to a son, and the younger wife gives birth to a discriminated against. The Tang Dynasty was monogamous and polygamous, and there was no way, but the right of children to be educated, Shen Sanwen still wanted to maintain it.
Although everyone is born with a status gap, they all have the opportunity and right to change their situation through their own efforts, and Shen Sanwen doesn't mind providing more opportunities to the children of the clan. If they are willing to be self-reliant and angry, even if they do not have the right to inherit the family wealth, they can build a different life with their own hands.
It is advisable to separate the education of the children of the concubines, so the teaching is staggered in the morning and afternoon, and there is no difference in content, but it is just that double the manpower is hired.
Although this move was a trivial matter for the Shen Mansion, it slowly spread.
The equal treatment of the concubines also challenges the social order. But this Shen Mansion's family affairs were facilitated by horses, so no one interfered.
Visionaries foresaw that if the Shen Mansion cultivated its children in this way, the descendants would become more and more outstanding, but the struggle of the concubines was also inevitable.
Shen Sanwen also knew this. The struggle of the small family is to fight for the family property, the royal struggle is to fight for the world, and the elite education must bear the blame. If the sister-in-law is smart, the sister-in-law has been bullied and looked down upon since childhood, and has a deep-rooted servile mentality, the status of the sister-in-law will be much more stable.
How to avoid the struggle of the concubine?
Through brainwashing education!
The concubine and the concubine added an inspirational course. These people began to listen to inspirational stories since childhood, Liu Bei became a generation of emperors by weaving mats and selling shoes, Wu Shi Tong became the founding hero of the country from scratch, Kuang Heng chiseled the wall and stole the light and became a generation of prime ministers, and Chen Ping studied hard and finally became the three masters of the early Han Dynasty. Background does not determine your end, inheriting your father's family business is constrained, what is there to inherit from the Shen family? It is more valuable to use your wisdom to fight the world, whether you want to become a rich man, or take the imperial examination, serve the political side, serve the army, serve the country, and strive for a bright future?
After listening to these brainwashings too much, will you still hope for a family property that you have nothing to do with you?
There is no need for Shen Sanwen to try to supervise, these concubines will naturally make the right choice when they see their mother's situation and the coldness of the family, and force themselves to study seriously over and over again.
Maybe these concubines have no way out and can be better used for themselves?
As for the concubines, let's learn first, they haven't found a path that suits them, and it's good to be a teacher in the future.
The family arrangement is good, and there are no worries. As long as there is no rebellion, there is still no big mistake to be found. Shouldn't these children be given more lessons and educated more loyalty?
