Shen Jiu and Shen Yi, the two young men, stood in front of Shen Zhezi, their expressions were slightly restrained, revealing a bit of uncontrollable worship, but there was a little less intimacy between brothers.

It is no wonder that they have been sensible since they were children, and what they have heard and heard are many elegant or magnificent deeds of this brother, and almost everyone around them is enriching the glorious and majestic image in their words and deeds, and many cognitions have long been ingrained in their hearts.

So from a very early age, these two teenagers knew that the reason why they were different from the people around them was that they were born in such a court and had such a brother who was the best in the world.

However, they did not have a very intuitive understanding of this brother's cognition. Although the age difference between them is not too big, but before they were born, this brother has already become famous. And when they were still playing in the court and being stubborn, this brother had already traveled to the Central Plains, and everyone in the north and south knew about it.

Seeing that the two little brothers were respectful and distant, Shen Zhezi couldn't help laughing. If there is gain, there will be loss, he has been running away all the year round, and it is inevitable that there will be some alienation in family affection. Don't talk about the brothers in these generations, even his sister-in-law Ah Xiu, who has only become close in the past few months.

"The scenery is gradually changing, and my foals have grown up. Seeing the two Elder Brother Yingting in front of me, I felt that I was no longer in Shao Nian. ”

Pointing to his two little brothers, Shen Zhezi said to his father with a smile. This remark sounds a bit strange to outsiders, not like the tone of the elder brother commenting on the younger brother, but the family members here do not feel abrupt, including the father Shen Chong, they don't feel that there is anything wrong.

This is not snobbery in a big family, but Shen Zhezi's many performances over the years, which makes people subconsciously ignore his age and identity.

Shen Chong lacked the opportunity to show his father's authority in front of his eldest son, probably to make up for this deficiency in front of the other sons, so he was also very strict with these two young sons, pointing at them and snorting coldly: "You were born in this court, you can enjoy the shade of your father and brother, and you can suffer less from the cold and hard work." In the past, if you didn't try your best to learn in Jiangzuo, you can still shirk and be narrow-minded, but now that you have entered the Heluo Heaven, you should remember that it is not easy to make a bad sound, if you dare to do anything bad to corrupt the door, I will break your legs! ”

The two and a half sons have always been very happy in front of their father, and they are probably used to this kind of reprimand, so they hurriedly bent down and said they didn't dare.

When Shen Zhezi saw this scene, he was a little unbearable, especially when he thought of the descriptions of many counterattack literature in later generations, he couldn't guarantee that one of these two cousins had his own aura of destiny, and he had a lot of anger in his heart, first to take away his world, but also to think about his wife and concubine. Thinking about it like this, I actually have a kind of self-awareness of being a villain in my heart.

Of course, this is just a few gimmicks, Shen Zhezi himself has been brave so far, and he understands how difficult this road is, and there is no possibility of gritting his teeth and stomping his feet to hit a glimmer of life.

"I often run around the border and take care of my family, but I have the responsibility of indebted to my eldest brother's teachings. The two of you are now outstanding and young, I don't know how to study? ”

Putting aside some distractions in his heart, Shen Zhezi asked with a smile, and at the same time motioned for them to sit nearby.

The two boys were relieved to see that the elder brother was kind and not as strict as his father, and only after his eyes turned to ask his father for instructions, did they carefully sit in the side seats, and then described their academic status one by one.

Nowadays, students enter school, although it is not as clear as the Ming and Qing dynasties, from childhood to adulthood, the arrangement of various Confucian classics, but there is also a general step, learning words at an early age, learning poetry as a child, and starting to learn the scriptures after reading a little rhyme.

At this point, there are those who have a family history and have their own relatives and ears to mention the teachings of their own lives, if not, some of them will stop and transfer to other general affairs, and there are also sincere scholars who will visit all parties and look for famous teachers. The fame of Yique Tian Middle School is that it can be said that it is one of the few places in this world where a grandmaster has given public lectures.

Later generations speak of this era, or it may be said that knowledge is monopolized by the family. The word "monopoly" is still a bit biased, and it would be more accurate to say that the spread of knowledge is not smooth, rather than that the family takes the initiative to control the leakage of knowledge. If the children of the poor family are really interested in learning, although it is not as convenient as the children of the family, there are channels to choose.

Moreover, as far as Shen Zhezi's feelings are concerned, it is meaningless to simply discuss whether knowledge is monopolized, and in the final analysis, the way to realize knowledge is limited.

The reason why Tianzhong School has such a great influence is that the Xinshi Hall and the Academy of Engineering can be said to be the talent training base of the corresponding Taipei, and those students may not rule out the real thirst for knowledge, but they do not occupy the mainstream, and they still regard this as a springboard, so as to enter the ruling body of Xingtai, which is the real purpose.

Just as the knowledge of later generations has been so popular, it is everywhere, and not everyone has become a master, and there are even many reckless heroes who believe that learning is useless.

There is such an example in Shen Zhezi's family, that is Shen Jin, this kid's life is much better than Shen Zhezi's, there is no worry about the family business, no worry about the future. Originally, Shen Zhezi had high hopes for this kid, hoping to cultivate him into a starting point for a prosperous family, but this kid didn't love Jingyi and turned to Rong.

However, the brothers Shen Jiu and Shen Yi did not follow in the footsteps of their second brothers, and they were all studying sincerely, one worshiped under the Huiji Yuxi Sect, and the other studied under the Nanyang Confucian Fan Wang. Of course, this does not rule out that they dare not resist their father's obscenity, you must know that Shen Jin, this kid, also went completely astray after going north to Shouchun.

From this point of view, it is also good for parents to be strict. Young people love freedom and dreams, but that shallow life experience and immature world view are really not enough to support them to walk out of an open road, and even if they do, they are mostly lucky.

In terms of scriptures and principles, although Shen Zhezi did not deliberately learn, he has been in this world for nearly 20 years, and his daily contacts are the most outstanding business in this world.

After learning that these two boys have their own inheritances, they picked up some academic questions to take the school exam, and the answers of these two boys are also decent, although they do not show any strange endowments and insights, but it can also be seen that they are interested in their studies, and they are not purely based on their families and waste their time.

"Where the sky is, the place where the people and customs are extensive is still more than the countryside of Wuzhong after all. Now that you have gone north, you don't have to be a guinea dog lover wandering posture, stay here with peace of mind, and enter the museum after the year to study, which can not only be beneficial to knowledge, but also to be more widely seen. In the future, when your father and brother are tired, the maintenance of the family business will be tied to your shoulders, and remember not to be arrogant. ”

If these two boys were still immature, Shen Zhezi wouldn't mind teasing them a few times to show intimacy, but they had grown up to such an age, and it would not be appropriate to tease them with intimacy. So Shen Zhezi also put on the posture of the eldest brother, and Zhengse admonished.

Before the two boys could answer, Shen Chong had already taken the first step to frown and groaned: "Chengnan Pavilion, I also went to visit earlier, and there are indeed many young sages, and the characters in the sky are prosperous, and they are indeed not comparable to my Wuzhong township." Although the two of them were taught by famous teachers, their studies were ultimately immature, is it a bit inappropriate to rush into this? ”

Speaking of this, Shen Chong looked at the two young men again and sighed: "Dafan, you have a little bit of your brother's scale and claw ability, and I don't have to worry about you laughing at others." is not as good as others, tired of your brother's virtuous voice, and seeing many Xiuxian excellent, it is inevitable that there will be more lazy thoughts of slackness and laziness. ”

Hearing that his father was worried, Shen Zhezi laughed again: "Father said this, he is really too demanding of my son-in-law." Human endowments are different, and they are born with short and long lengths, because it is the only ones who require them to learn, to know the scriptures and to understand the meaning, and to help me. Even if my brother is not a jade, if he can carve it well, he can also become a good weapon in the world. In matters of upbringing, we really should not keep a little clumsy and self-obscure. Leisurely travel among peers, see the wise and think together, know that you can change, as long as you hold the heart of self-encouragement, for a long time to live in the good, and why not be afraid of people laughing at my old and bad times. ”

Speaking of this, he said: "There is actually another reason why I let my brother enroll in the museum. The two of them are good teachers, and next year I will also recruit them to enter the museum, and they can continue to study with their teachers. ”

Shen Zhezi didn't say anything casually about this matter, with the current family situation of the Shen family, it was naturally impossible for Shen Jiu and the two of them to apprentice to study.

Huiji Yu is one of the few famous scholars in Jiangdong, and Yu Xi's reputation in his family is second only to Yu Tan, who died of illness last year, and he has good attainments in astronomical calendars. The old voice of Nanyang Fan is not high, but Fan Wang is also a famous Confucian master, and then there are historians like Fan Ye in the Southern Dynasty.

Nowadays, although the reputation of the Xinshiguan sacrificial wine Yan Han is not shallow, it is after the return of the holy face, the positive color of the dynasty, but it is already old and unbearable. Therefore, Shen Zhezi had long planned to invite Fan Wang to go north as Yan Han's deputy to preside over the affairs of Xinshi Pavilion. As for the courtesy of Yu Xi, it is related to such an important matter as compiling a new almanac, and it is also a matter that Xingtai has been discussing for a long time.

When Shen Chong heard this, he nodded and agreed, and did not forget to stare at the two boys and say, "You will study seriously if you enroll here." Even if I want to return to my hometown after the year, I will often come and go, if I know that you have any deeds of disobedience to your brother and family, be careful of your siblings! ”

The two boys nodded their heads busily when they heard this, and then doubled their admiration for the brother who dared to refute his father to his face.

As for Shen Zhezi, when he heard that his father reprimanded the two little brothers with a vicious voice of breaking his hands and feet, he couldn't help but sigh, his son is a creature, one or two are still holding treasures, and it's the same if there are more. Just like my father cherishes himself, Shen Jin is cold-eyed, and these two little brothers are perennial training.

However, there are exceptions, and some sons are difficult to love even if they are just this one.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhezi looked at his second uncle Shen Ke, who was at the same table with his father, and couldn't help but worry about Shen Mu, who was about to return to Luo, and decided to block the news that the second uncle went north to Luo.
