After a burst of chickens and dogs, the General's Mansion returned to calm.

In the side hall, Shen Mu was covered in dust, with a gray face, sitting meekly in the seat like a quail, and he didn't dare to look at his father who was still angry.

Shen Zhezi and several other juniors all accompanied each other at the banquet, and seeing that the second uncle Shen Ke was so angry that his face turned red, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but sigh that in addition to the strong atmosphere of the martial arts sect, the whole family was also a drama spirit.

Shen Zhezi knew how proud of Shen Mu was when his family got together a few days ago. Father Shen Chong's three brothers are now the first and second uncle Shen Ke's lineage is the most prosperous, and Shen Mu has made great contributions to it. There is also the eldest brother Shen Jun above Shen Mu, and Shen Jun is a little dull, and the number of children is not even a fraction of Shen Mu's.

The big family has no worries about food and clothing, and the more children and grandchildren, the more prosperous they are. Shen Mu, this kid, has not wasted his achievements, and there are a group of children in the family, from the perspective of his parents, he is simply impeccable.

In fact, within his own family, Shen Mu's evaluation among his peers is indeed not low, and even Shen Zhezi's father, Shen Chong, occasionally persuades him to take Shen Mu as an example and make efforts to catch up. As for some absurd names, how can the Shen family care about them now.

But one yard is one yard, Shen Muzhang's family will Ji He's family is not an ordinary portal, and He Yu is still a great book of the Ministry of Rites. In the early years of marriage, the He family was also not lacking in condescension, and it was reasonable, even if the Shen family was already in a difficult situation at the moment, they could not completely ignore the feelings of their in-laws.

From this point of view, Shen Mu's return to Luo this time is inevitable, even if it is not for the second uncle Shen Ke to take action personally, Daddy Shen Chong can't say anything about it. It's not because Shen Mu did something wrong, but because he had to give an explanation to the He family.

From this point of view, the relationship between the big family and the ordinary small family is not very different. Sometimes, my own children beat up other people's children, even if I am happy that my children are heroic, but in order to get by on the face, I always have to pretend to reprimand a few words.

"My father really misunderstood me, I am currently in charge of the military affairs of the three states, how can I stop at the court gate and whether it is beautiful or not. There are many treacherous villagers in the realm, and the so-called far ones are resentful, and the near ones are not inferior, and the square inch is grasped between these exchanges. If I am really lustful and demanding, what will happen to my family? What a delicate girl can't ask for? How can it be so noisy that everyone looks forward to it? ”

Shen Mu sat in the middle of the seat, and his face was helpless: "No matter how dull I am, my family is about to have a big event at the moment, how can I make a floating posture because of my whims?" I accept a woman, people can believe in me without doubt, I use all my strength, what I think and think, or lie in the general trend, I dare not miss the future because of this! ”

Speaking of this, Shen Mu looked at Shen Zhezi pitifully: "This time, Qingque, you want to help me speak out, where the town's duties are, and the supervision is all in sight, although my reputation is not excellent, but can there be one or two transgressions?" Have there ever been one or two who neglected the king's affairs because of selfish desires? How many people can be so responsible? Those idlers are still unable to be self-sufficient, and if they are small and stable, they will vainly judge the gains and losses of Uncle Fang's work, how much distress are among them, and how much can they know? What I see is nothing more than a little sorrow and happiness for people, and how is my virtue in vain? The revival of the royal affair is full of problems, how can it be a matter of virtue that can be decided? ”

Although he was beaten, Shen Mu was still full of words, looking bitter and hateful, and seemed to be full of grievances. And when Shen Ke saw this scene, he was also silent for a while, what Shen Mu said seemed to make sense, but he had been running his family affairs for a long time, and he had not reached a high position in his life, so he didn't know how to refute it for a while.

On the other side, Shen Yun covered his mouth and snickered after hearing this, and took out a folding fan out of nowhere and held it in front of him, seeing that Shen Ke seemed to be bluffed by Shen Mu, he said impatiently: "Second brother's words, in short, it is really unreasonable for you to teach him a lesson this time, uncle." He laughed at you for not being in a high position, and he was like a bored spectator and preoccupied with him......"

Shen Ke originally felt that he had done enough acting, so he no longer blamed his son. But hearing Shen Yun's interpretation, anger surged into his heart again, and he jumped up directly from the seat and pounced on his son, waving his old fist and roaring: "Boy, no matter how high or low you are, where are you without Lao Tzu?" Even if it doesn't make sense, do you still have to pick a date......

If there is still a bit of drama in the front court, then Shen Ke's fists and feet really fell on Shen Mu at this time. Shen Jiu and several other young men in the banquet saw this scene, and the corners of their eyes trembled, although their father was fierce in words, after all, he only stopped at words, and it was rare to see Shen Ke not treat his son as his own at all.

In the end, it was the father Shen Chong who came to drink, which could be regarded as ending Shen Mu's suffering. This time, he could no longer defend himself with words like before, and covered his head and glared at Shen Yun who was fanning the flames with a resentful expression.

The elders were all in the table, Shen Yun was not worried about retaliation, he fanned the fan in his hand, and said slowly: "Second brother, you don't have to look at me like this, although the foolish brother is not talented, but the past years have not been wasted." Today's gathering in court, I also have a word of warning for you. The so-called favor is not arrogant, arrogant and can descend, descend but not regret, regret and can be rare. My brother's talent may not be far higher than the current of time, take advantage of the situation, because people succeed, still need to be sensitive and self-examined, in order to last a long time. ”

Originally, Shen Zhezi was also in a relaxed mood, and only regarded this scene as an idle show, but when he heard Shen Yun say this, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and then he looked at Shen Yun more seriously.

This time, Shen Mu Guiluo encountered all kinds of things, although it seemed to be a joke. But in fact, behind the joke, the meaning is not so simple.

Shen Mu said that in the position of Uncle Fang, it is inevitable that he will have more thoughts, or there may be reasons to follow the local customs.

This cannot be said to be a quibble, in fact, the reason why Shen Zhezi arranged Shen Mu for the purpose of the aspect and sat alone in the land of Qingyan and Xu Sanzhou was not all nepotism.

At present, the territory controlled by Xiatai, regardless of Jiangdong for the time being, Shen Musuo Town almost covers nearly half of the territory of Jiangbei. Such an important position, if there is no intimate relationship, it is really not safe to hand it over to anyone.

Shen Mu himself is a relative of the family, and he does have the ability to change and his qualifications, so Shen Zhezi arranged him in such an important position. It can be said that there are many civil and military officials in Xingtai, except for Shen Mu, no one is more suitable for such an important position.

Although Shen Zhezi himself is rigorous by nature and is not good at beauty, he doesn't think that Shen Mu's peachy news is serious, after all, he still doesn't notice the small things and doesn't lose the big ones, and in the past few years, Shen Mu has generally been conscientious in office.

And the aphorism that Shen Yun said did express Shen Zhezi's worries. It is very rare to be favored but not arrogant, arrogant and able to settle for the lower position, to be humble and not resentful, and to be resentful and able to restrain and endure.

Shen Zhezi was indeed worried that Shen Mu was in such a position, sought after all year round, or he might gradually lose his ability to control himself. And in addition to the subordinate relationship between him and Shen Mu, they are also blood cousins, even if there are any warning words, it is not good to say it in person without scruples, otherwise it may backfire. So this time, Shen Zhezi helped the second uncle teach Shen Mu a lesson, in fact, he also wanted to let the elders of the family beat Shen Mu, so as not to be arrogant for a long time and difficult to return.

But this layer of intentions was actually told by Shen Yun, and he also quoted scriptures, which inevitably made Shen Zhezi look at Shen Yun with admiration.

After hearing this, Shen Chong's face changed slightly, and then he pointed at Shen Yun and laughed: "The level of talent still lies in experience!" My family is indeed a cluster of virtuous seedlings, Yun Raccoon Dog's self-warning words are really impressive, it can be seen that the experience of the past few years has really made great progress, which is enough for my family's arms. ”

Hearing his uncle's praise like this, Shen Yun couldn't help laughing, and the folding fan in his hand was fanning even more frequently, and Shen Zhezi's hair stood up in the past three or nine days.

The other clansmen in the banquet, including Shen Ke, were a little dazed when they heard Shen Chong say this. In fact, this is not a strange thing, it is not unreasonable for the Shen family to be called a martial artist in the early years, not everyone can be familiar with the scriptures, and it is not that there is no such condition, but there is no need for this.

They are powerful portals that have no family heritage, and they often choose one or two who are indeed endowed to study the scriptures and righteousness, and the rest of their children are still mainly engaged in family affairs.

In Shen Chong's generation, only Shen Chong, the eldest son, was treated like this, and he traveled all over the world when he was young, made friends with the times, and then struggled for the future of the entire family, so that the next generation of Shen Zhezi, as the eldest son, was younger than the sons of the second uncle Shen Ke's family.

This also caused a huge disparity in the vision of the family in the previous generation, Shen Chong relied on his family resources, talents and even could communicate with Nandu Gaomen, and Shen Ke and several others were not much higher than the old farmers in terms of learning and knowledge.

Therefore, if the Hanmen wants to advance, it is very difficult, and one or two clansmen with outstanding talents may not be able to lead the entire clan to make an upward leap, even if there is an upper limit, but there is no guarantee of the lower limit.

One of the most vivid examples of this is the Tao Kan family, when Tao Kan was at the highest, even Wang Dao had to look at its color, but after Tao Kan died, the whole family quickly revealed its original form. All the sons are inferior, and when Tao Zhen, who can support the façade, also dies, only Tao Hong, who is still under the care of General Shen, is left to maintain his family reputation.

The reason why the Shen family was able to complete this transformation in one generation is not only because the elders have laid a good foundation, but also because Shen Zhezi's ceiling is too high.

When Shen Chong interpreted Shen Yun's "Spring and Autumn" police station a little, all the clansmen present were full of praise for Shen Yun, and warned their children to take Shen Yun as an example.

The talent of the great general is an unborn genius, it is the destiny of heaven to bless the family, and the growth of talent like Shen Yun is the goal that the children of the clan need to catch up!

For a while, everyone at the banquet also forgot about everything else, and asked Shen Yun why he was suddenly so natural, and if there were any tricks worth promoting?

"The elders asked and praised, and it really made me ashamed. Where do I have any endowment worthy of praise, it is nothing more than saving up the leisure time on weekdays to read the spring and autumn at night. ”

Being so praised by the elders, Shen Yun became more complacent, the folding fan in his hand fanned more frequently, and another Spring and Autumn epigram written on the fan, "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself" became more eye-catching.

Shen Yun was so humble and courteous, which made the elders appreciate him even more, so he happily decided that in the future, whether the children of the Shen family are working, studying or at home, "Spring and Autumn" will be listed as a must-read classic.

The atmosphere of the next family banquet was still cheerful, but Shen Yun felt a yin wind surrounding him for no reason, he looked around suspiciously, Shen Mu's resentful gaze was ignored for the time being, and he accidentally found Shen Jin and several other little brothers gathered together and whispered in a low voice, he eavesdropped and only faintly heard Shen Jin whispering to Shen Yi a few vague words such as "wooden staff", "in the night", "start immediately" and so on.

But soon, he heard his uncle Shen Chong's laughter in his ears again, and he hurriedly raised his glass to congratulate, and only after he sat down again, did he hear his cousin Shen Zhezi at the other table smile at him and say, "Treat your aunt to him." ”

There was really no beginning or end to these words, Shen Yun took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention to the other side of the fan, and the fan was densely packed with small words, the epigram he had said before was on the paper, but it did not identify the meaning of what his cousin said, so he left it behind, and he was stupid.
