Shen Yansong had never seen the four sisters of the Shen family so harmonious, and the rules of the Shen Mansion were a little stricter, and the atmosphere at home had always been a little stagnant.

He has always privately believed that if a big family wants to prosper for a long time, it must have inner vitality.

And the foundation of that little bit of full meaning is the right time and place on the outside, and the people are on the inside.

This point is in line with his grandmother, Mrs. Shen, and the sentence he attaches great importance to is: "Home and everything is prosperous".

Seeing this scene now, he naturally felt comfortable from the bottom of his heart.

"Big brother is here,"

Shen Yanjiao glanced at Shen Yansong here, and quickly stood up and smiled, "How can the eldest brother also be free?" ”

"I've been at home these days,"

Shen Yansong smiled and explained, "I just entered the Ruoshui Hall over there in Taixue, and I have more time to relax." ”

As soon as he said this, Shen Yanjiao and the others suddenly lit up in their eyes: "Ruoshuitang? Big brother entered Ruoshui Hall? ”

Who doesn't know that in Kyoto Taixue now, the best Taixue students will be selected into Wakasuidado. When you enter Ruoshui Hall, you have been recognized and recommended by those famous teachers.

Even if he fails in the spring examination of thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge in the following year, with the identity of Ruoshuitang, he can directly take the examination of the other erudite macro vocabulary subject of the DPRK, and the admission rate is much better.

In other words, after entering Ruoshui Hall, with the background of the Shen family, Shen Yansong's path to entry has been almost paved.

Shen Yanrou smiled first: "The eldest brother has entered Ruoshui Hall, so except for Shuowang who has to go there to listen to the lecture for two days a month, the rest of the time is comfortable?" ”

Shen Yansong smiled and nodded.

Ruoshuitang is the leader of Taixue in Beijing, and more time still depends on self-study and exploration. In this way, compared with the strict learning discipline of Taixue before, it is naturally a lot more comfortable.

At this moment, Shen Yansong noticed Shen Yanliu who had not spoken all the time, so he walked over with a smile and said, "Didn't the fourth brother forget to read when he was fishing?" What books do you read? ”

Shen Yanliu was obviously taken aback, and then stuffed the book behind him in a panic.

Seeing him like this, Shen Yanjiao was stunned at first, then understood, walked to Shen Yanliu's side and squatted down with a smile, looked at his younger brother and said softly: "Don't be afraid, show the book to the eldest brother." ”

She knew why Shen Yanliu was flustered.

Her father Shen Ke is actually a bit pedantic, and the schooling in the clan also focuses on scripture and history. After all, the imperial examination is a heavy history, and the children of the clan, who does not want to be promoted to the imperial examination in the future?

But Shen Yanliu is different.

He has a disability, and there is no hope for him to follow the normal path of the imperial examination. Moreover, Shen Yanliu prefers some things such as arithmetic, holding calculations, geography, and so on. But these things, in the eyes of his father Shen Yan, are all small roads, chores, and "idle books", and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance.

When Shen Yanliu was fishing today, he also brought a "idle book" in the eyes of his father Shen Yan, knowing his brother-in-law's prestige in the family, so Ah Liu was afraid of his brother-in-law's reprimand.

"It turned out to be this book,"

Shen Yansong looked at it suspiciously, nodded and said, "Tai Xuefen Zhai also has these, but it's just ......"

It's just not an avenue.

However, Shen Yanliu will not rely on the imperial examination to advance, since I like this book, I will read it.

"Big brother,"

Seeing that Shen Yansong didn't say anything, Shen Yanjiao glanced at her younger brother distressedly, then turned her face to look at Shen Yansong, and said earnestly, "Can you tell your father to find a gentleman in this regard for Ah Liu?" ”

Although Ah Liu is smart, he is still young in the end, and if he wants to learn, he needs to have the guidance of a master.

"It's-"

Shen Yansong was stunned for a moment, and before he could say more, he saw his father Shen Ke standing under the begonia tree by the pavilion.

"Father."

Shen Yansong hurriedly saluted.

The children of the Shen family were all afraid of Shen Ke, and even Shen Yansong was no exception. He didn't expect that his father, who rarely entered the garden on weekdays, would suddenly appear here...... I don't know how long it has been, and whether I heard the laughter between my sisters and brothers before.

Shen Yanjiao and the other four sisters were also taken aback, and together with Shen Yanliu, they all saluted Shen Ke.

Shen Ke's expression was as serious as ever.

Recently, he was very satisfied with the marriage with King Anjun, and his mood was a lot easier. He also happened to have a whim, and he heard that the little guy said that there were two new geese sent by the prince of Anjun on the side of the crane court in the garden, so he wanted to come over and have a look.

Unexpectedly, I heard the laughter of several children halfway through.

There was rarely such laughter in the family, and he paused for a moment in confusion, and then heard the conversation between Shen Yanjiao and Shen Yansong.

"What did you just say?"

Shen Ke looked at Shen Yanjiao with a straight face.

This third daughter has always been well-behaved in front of him, and she has never done anything that is not in line with his wishes. He felt that Fang Cai might not have heard it wrong.

Shen Yansong looked at Shen Yanjiao a little nervously, and quickly gave her a look, signaling her not to make her father angry.

Shen Yanjiao didn't seem to see Shen Yansong's eyes, raised her face to look directly into her father Shen Ke's eyes, and repeated what she had said to Shen Yansong to her father word by word.

Shen Yansong: "......"

Even if he didn't look at his father, he could feel the cold air on his father's body.

Shen Yanrou and a few other sisters next to her were already so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, and they all pinched a cold sweat for Shen Yanjiao.

"Even if Ah Liu doesn't enter the official career,"

Shen Ke said in a deep voice, "How can you not read the book of sages? My son of the Shen family has never been unskilled. ”

"The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each with its own good,"

Shen Yanjiao explained seriously, "Shouldn't the master's teaching be based on his own talents? ”

"Confused!"

Shen Ke probably didn't expect that these three daughters would dare to talk back to him, and couldn't help but say angrily, "What does your boudoir daughter know?" If you don't read the books of the sages and are not educated by the saints, aren't you no different from a savage? ”

Shen Yanjiao knelt down lightly, still looking at her father unhurriedly: "Then according to what my father said, isn't a saint a savage?" ”

Without waiting for Shen Ke to get angry, she continued to say, "The book of sages was written by a sage?" What is the Book of Sages before the sages? Did a saint ever read a sage? Have the saint's father and brother ever read the sages? The ancestors of the saints, have they ever read the books of the sages? ”

Shen Ke: "......"

He couldn't refute it all of a sudden, and he almost held his breath.

Shen Yansong: "......"

He was stunned.

"You-"

Shen Ke finally took this breath, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't argue, just staring at this daughter, feeling like he knew his daughter for the first time.

Unexpectedly, this always well-behaved concubine would be so sharp-tongued...... It's so bold!

"Father,"

Shen Yanjiao's tears fell as soon as she said it, and before Shen Ke could find anything else to scold, she was already a pear blossom with rain, "My daughter didn't dare to disobey her father, just for Ah Liu's future-"

As she spoke, she gently tugged at the corner of her father's clothes and cried, "I don't want outsiders to talk about it in the future, saying that among the children and grandchildren of Shen University, there is an unsuccessful child who has achieved nothing and is supported by the clan alone-besides, the eldest husband has become a talented person in the world, and he is not bound to one style, even if Ah Liu can't enter the official career, but as the son of Shen University, how can he not make a name for himself?" The daughter is bold, just for the Shen family, and has no other intentions! I hope my father is compassionate...... Boom ......"

Shen Ke: "......"

Choked him back again.

But at this time, Shen Ke also listened: This daughter is really for Ah Liu, and it is really for the good of the Shen family.

Seeing his delicate daughter crying with tears on her face, Shen Ke couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "Get up—I don't blame you." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Shen Yanliu again, his eyes swept over Shen Yanliu's stump leg, and after a moment of silence, he finally nodded slowly: "Well, this matter is not impossible - then I will ask Ah Liu, sir, but I still have to read the sage book." ”

Shen Yanjiao was overjoyed, and couldn't hold back her smile with tears.

Shen Ke shook his head and sighed, took a deep look at his daughter, and saw Shen Yansong standing next to him in a blink of an eye, so he snorted and said: "Standing like a wooden stake, there is no aura at all, it is not as good as your third sister with some insight and style!" ”

Shen Yansong: "......"

Ha?
