When Xi Jian saw Shen Chong, Shen Chong was standing on a high post near a river bay in Langya Township surrounded by more than 100 guards, looking across the river.

When he noticed Xi Jian's arrival, Shen Chong got out of the car and drove slowly to catch up, and he smiled at Xi Jian from afar: "I got a message from Xiao'er, saying that Gong Xi will return to the capital in a few days, and entrust me with hospitality." Because as soon as I got the news, I counted the days, and I looked forward to it day and night, and I finally met him in the suburbs today, and I hope that Gong Xi will not blame me for being lazy. ”

Xi Jian also took a few quick steps in response, smiled and exchanged a few words with Shen Chong, his demeanor was quite polite, and then his eyes turned to the other side of the river that Shen Chong had looked at from afar.

Xi Jian found that there was a withered reed pond, the reeds had been harvested, and the ground was enclosed with bamboo fences, and there were many houses, towers, etc., and even many reeds similar to arrow stacks were set up, and many other people lined up and wandered back and forth there, which seemed to be a place similar to a military village.

"That's where Langya Township Yongji practices to arrest and prevent thieves, and it is being run by Wang Shenyou, the son of Wang Chuming."

Shen Chong walked to Xi Jian's side and stood side by side, explained with a smile, and then pointed to the Xiangyong camp and sighed: "The sons of the royal family, there are many flashy and mysterious, and there are not many people who can be better than ordinary labor, and this Wang Shenyou is an outlier in the court." In the early years, I served under General Wang, and General Wang Ya loved this servant, and often took him with him to teach, and made it a follow-up to the court. According to Gong Xi, is the construction of this camp gate quite impressive? ”

When Xi Jian heard this, his face had become a little unnatural, because he remembered the depression that was dominated by Shen Weizhou's little raccoon dog in Jiangbei.

After he crossed the river, he returned all the way, except for Director Wang, Shen Chong was the only one who went out to greet him, and he originally had some feelings. But when I heard Shen Chong say this at this moment, I realized that this father and son really deserved to be a raccoon dog, where did Shen Chong come to greet him, it was clear that he wanted to go deep into Langya Township to get a glimpse of the truth in this name!

Thinking of this, Xi Jian felt a little sad and angry in his heart, and couldn't help but ask himself, could it be that he was a bully? My son is like this, and Lao Tzu is like this, I really don't have a temper!

Seeing that Xi Jian suddenly lowered his face, Shen Chong also felt a little inexplicable, and after thinking about it, he only said that this old thing's sudden loss of power must inevitably have some gaps, and he couldn't accept it for a while. After thinking about it for a while, he also generously didn't care about Xi Jian, after all, it was his own family that took advantage, even if this old man shook his face, it would not hurt.

The two were relatively speechless for a while, and the scene was inevitably a little embarrassing, until Xi Su stepped forward to salute, and Shen Chong took the opportunity to invite the father and son to the car he brought, and then the group went to Jincheng to join the Xi family's troops and return to the capital together.

Xi Jian thought that Shen Chong had come to Langya Township to spy on the truth and reality by taking the opportunity to greet him, but he actually misunderstood Shen Chong. Although the atmosphere in the capital is tense nowadays, it is not serious enough that important people like Shen Chong are not free to move.

It is true that Shen Chong will never dare to go to Taicheng at will at the moment, and he lives in Dunan Beiye most of the time, but he will not come to Langya County to avoid suspicion. Before that, he had nothing to do, and occasionally came to visit Director Wang to talk about some old things, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

As for the diligent military cultivation of the Wang clan in Langya Township, this cannot be hidden from Shen Chong. Just like the number of soldiers of the Shen clan hidden around Jiankang, it has generally been clearly figured out by the Taifu.

Although the private soldiers can hide in the manor and do not move, they must organize some training to maintain their status. In addition, the consumption of grains, rice ingredients and other materials, as long as a certain period of careful investigation is maintained, even if the knowledge is not very accurate, it is not much different from the facts.

Therefore, the current situation is that each party has how many catties and taels, and each other is actually very clear. This is just like a chess game, how many chess pieces there are on each side, how many fixed patterns there are on the board, each is very clear, and the final victory or defeat still depends on how they fall and set up the game.

From Jincheng to Jiankang, if you travel quickly, it will not take a day. However, Shen Chong took good care of Xi Jian, and was not in a hurry to leave, and sent someone to vacate the other business in Qu'a in the middle of the way early to rest on the way.

Although Shen Chong took care of him very thoroughly, Xi Jian was still not used to having too much contact with Shen Chong. It should be said that people who are in the same period as him, especially those who have the same experience, don't like Shen Chong very much. This old raccoon dog has long had a reputation for treachery, and it is difficult to deal with, which is already a consensus of Xi Jian's contemporaries.

Not to mention anything else, the rise of the Shen family in its early years alone was full of trickery and betrayal. The Shen family is rich, but in the eyes of the overseas Chinese from the south, he is just a local tyrant and thief who can't get on the stage. It is precisely because of Wang Dun's intimacy that the Shen family is gradually known by the times, so Wang Dun has the grace of knowing the Shen family.

But even so, the Shen family still had no guilt for betraying Wang Dunlai. In the eyes of the contemporaries, Wang Dun's second chaos and defeat were inseparable from Shen's betrayal at a critical moment.

Although Shen Weizhou gradually became known at this point in time, the vast majority of people at the time still felt that such a treacherous situation was definitely not something that Shen Weizhou, who was the son of Huang Kiss at that time, could plan, and it must be his father Shen Chong who was in charge of the future. This kind of statement is still going on to this day, probably because people at the time took Shen Weizhou Ya too seriously and were unwilling to press this kind of treacherous behavior on others.

Therefore, the feelings of the people of the time for the Shen family are also very complicated, although his family, especially Shen Weizhou, has a lot of help, but it still cannot be completely reassured, which is related to the old and inferior family. And Shen Chong is naturally the representative of the evil side of the Shen family.

Xi Jianjiu was in Jiangbei, but he didn't have much contact with Shen Chong, and the only frequent interaction was during the period when Su and Zu were in turmoil and the capital was in Taiwan. But it was that short interaction that was enough to make Xi Jian impressed by Shen Chong and stay away.

So on the way, Xi Jian did not forget to let his family return to the capital first, and told Taicheng the news that he was going to enter the capital. Although he also knew that the Taifu might not be happy to receive him, but he had not officially stepped down at the moment, and with the rank of Tai Lieutenant, Taicheng could not completely ignore him, and it was the most basic etiquette to solve the accommodation problem of his attachés.

In the evening, there was still a period of time before dark, but it was obvious that Jiankang could not be reached before nightfall, so he could only stay in the Shen family's other business in Qu'a, more precisely, it should be another business under the name of the eldest princess of Danyang, and Qu'a was her fiefdom.

The largest property of the Shen family in Qu'a is the large manor located in Yunyang Township, which is also the residence of the couple in when Shen Zhezi was not officially involved in the current situation in the early years.

Later, the manor was destroyed in the Su Jun Rebellion, and after the Su Jun Rebellion was pacified, Shen Zhezi had to preside over the construction of Jiankang again, and the main energy was still in the operation of Dunan, so Yunyang was abandoned here, and many industries were split and given away or sold to friendly families, only this manor was retained under the stubbornness of Princess Xingnan.

Later, both husband and wife settled across the river, and the property left behind was naturally taken care of by his father Shen Chong. After Shen Chong took over, he carried out large-scale construction of Yunyang's manor, he was born with a character who had a grudge against money, and his pen was extremely bold, not only copying the Baiju Garden in Longxi Township, but also digging lakes and stacking stones at any cost, and building a large number of garden landscapes.

Now this Yunyang Manor is already the largest manor in the entire Danyang County, and even many overseas Chinese have praised it as far beyond the Golden Valley Garden built by Shi Chong in the Chinese Dynasty.

When Xi Jian and his entourage arrived at Yunyang Manor, they were also impressed by the magnificent and luxurious garden landscape in front of them. Especially Xi Su, who felt that the Wang family's residence was located in Fengyin in Langya Township, and there was no shortage of impressive, but compared with the Shen family in Yunyang Township, it was really just a simple rural place.

The manor covers an extremely large area, covering dozens of hectares, and is divided into various different styles of parks, the magnificent and varied Taihu Lake stone, the evergreen pine and cypress garden in all seasons, the clear spring of the curved water interlaced with the dog's teeth, the pavilion and elegant house of different heights, the north and south scenery converge here, all kinds of wonderful scenery is simply only unexpected, not unseen.

Shen Chong heard Xi Su's admiration all the way, so he smiled and said: "I am now also a vacant position, elegant and interesting, quite happy landscapes, but the spirit is not as good as the prime of life, although there is this fun, but it is difficult to endure the pain of running around." Therefore, I can only make a little floating waves, so that the mountains and rivers will be me, and this garden will be formed. ”

When Xi Su heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, Shen Chong's light breeze and a few words could be said to have directly broken through the limit of his imagination, although he was happy with the landscape but he was too lazy to run around, so he made the landscape to me, what a heroic pattern this is!

"The elegance of ordinary people is mostly limited to simplicity. The elegance of the commonplace is really like a celestial man, and with this casual pleasure, what more can you ask for in this life! ”

Xi Su couldn't help but sigh, his tone and demeanor were extremely admiring, which showed that he was completely convinced by Shen Chong in his heart.

When Xi Jian heard his son's words, his face became even more ugly, and he remembered the lesson that was interrupted in Langya Township earlier, so he snorted coldly: "There are all kinds of people, and they are good at reaching the extreme in a certain way. You only see Sikong sitting on the beautiful landscape and prosperous things, how can you go to this realm, the hard work, how can you be a child to look in! Now that you are not virtuous and your deeds are not obvious, what qualifications do you have to dare to peek into the world of happiness! ”

Hearing his father reprimand him so sharply, Xi was so busy that he couldn't keep his voice silent, and didn't dare to speak more, but his eyes still couldn't help but drift to the left and right, obviously his love for this manor was difficult to suppress.

Shen Chong also endured Xi Jian's cold face all the way, but when he saw that he had to scold his son for disappointing his behavior in such a trivial matter, he gradually became unhappy in his heart, and he also sneered and said: "At that time, Gong Xi was benevolent and elegant, and he taught by word and deed, so I shouldn't have said much. But since Ling Lang is close to me, I really can't hold back if there is one. I think that Gong Xi's reprimand is actually a bit too harsh. ”

During this time, Xi Jian was also suffering from the idleness of the father and son, and now he was teaching his son, and Shen Chong still had to interject, which also made him feel a lot of resentment, so he said: "Although the flow of time does not take withering as beauty, but the sages have been passed down for a long time, and it is better to teach virtue than to be thick with things." It is true that the material is raised in the form, but it can be used sufficiently, if it is too lost, it is necessary to be decadent and not enterprising. Especially for children, their virtues have not yet been consolidated, and they are more likely to be materialistic. ”

Xi Jian's words are not purely to raise the bar, he really feels that virtue is more important than material, because there is himself as the best example. In his early years, he was affected by the military disaster, and he could not sustain himself, and he had to rely on the villagers to help him survive, but because of his outstanding virtue, the villagers supported him, and then gathered the people to come south and achieved a temporary success.

Although he was mostly funded by Shen's goods before, there are many reasons for this, such as the fact that a large number of people depend on him to live nowadays, and it is difficult to maintain without industry.

In addition, if he behaves too lonely, the Shen family may not be at ease, because their handover is outside the rules and regulations, and it does not conform to the etiquette law, if they don't give the Shen family a handle for power and money trading, then his family is a hidden danger to the Shen family.

There are too many trade-offs, and they are not something that this young man can see clearly. Therefore, after seeing that his son was too obsessed with material gains, Xi Jian was dissatisfied, and even regretted accepting too many gifts from the Shen family, and planned to gradually disperse after this period of time.
