"If you speak with high morality, I am admittedly difficult to reach Gong Xi. But when it comes to standing in the world, in fact, I don't have a lot of my own insights, so I might as well argue with Gong Xi for a while. ”

Shen Chong smiled and said: "Human nature is born different, but it is the same to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, happiness and danger. If you don't take good care of and teach, even if you grow into a form, you are no different from a beast. ”

When Xi Jian heard this, his face gradually softened, and he became less angry, and turned to a discussion between the two fathers.

"Once a person is born, the family background is determined, and the endowment is determined. In the future, the difference between good and bad lies in the careful teaching of parents. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Chong couldn't help laughing at himself: "When it comes to this, I won't hide it." In the old years, my family was only a villager in Wuzhong, and I had no clear reputation and no righteous advice, so I really didn't dare to compare with the famous families in the north and south. But my father and son don't dare to hurt themselves because of this, and as for today, it is a little boastful in the world......"

When Xi Jian heard this, he gradually felt that something was wrong, Shen Chong's words were more like a kind of ridicule, ridiculing the family education of the family that Shi Liu admired, but it was not as good as the barbaric growth of their Wu Township sect thieves.

"People praise me for raising Lin'er and benefiting the community. But in fact, I am not without a sense of shame when it comes to this. In his early years, he worked hard outside, and his children were not good enough for material support, but he was really lacking in teaching. ”

After hearing this, Xi Jian couldn't help but grin at the corners of his mouth, and secretly said Fortunately, you have no time to educate when you are working outside, otherwise I don't know what kind of education your son will become.

Shen Chong didn't know how Xi Jian arranged himself in his heart, and continued: "Later, I was calm, and I often pondered, why my son was neither taught by the scriptures and righteousness, nor by the words of his relatives, how could he show off his peers and be beautiful in the world? Is it just because the endowment is superb? After thinking about it, I got a little ......"

Hearing Shen Chong talk about this, the Xi family's father and son couldn't help but prick up their ears, and couldn't hold back their curiosity. To be honest, it is really incomprehensible that a thief portal like the Shen family can raise a leader like Shen Weizhou, and it is simply an unsolved mystery of the world that is juxtaposed with Jin Zuo or not.

"Actually, if you don't teach, why not teach? People have their own love of beauty, and choosing the good and the Dharma is an innate instinct that does not need to be taught. As long as it is not a bad nature, it will have the ability to self-examine and self-introspect, trap oneself in one's own needs, and chase one's own shortcomings. In previous years, my family can boast only of the township capital, the grain is full of warehouses, the fields are continuous, the importance of ordinary people, in my family's sons, but ordinary things, it is really not enough nostalgia. Because it is to chase merit, cultivate morality, do not love the old, only what is missing. It is precisely because of this endowment that my children can be called thin. ”

Shen Chong's words were more tongue-twisting, and Xi Jian also reminisced after listening to it, and gradually understood.

What Shen Chong meant by this was that the Shen family was originally rich, and the extravagant enjoyment that others couldn't ask for was just an ordinary thing in the eyes of his family, so he could be free from materialistic pleasures, and take the pursuit of merit and fame as the pursuit of life, so the Shen family could maintain prosperity.

In other words, in Shen Chong's view, Xi Jian's dissatisfaction with his son who attaches too much importance to material things is actually not his son's fault, it is all poor!

No matter how you touch these words, you think it's crooked, but if you think about it in connection with reality, it seems to be the same thing. These second-generation children of the Shen family are now in the current situation, even if they don't talk about Shen Weizhou, like Shen Mu, Shen Yun and others, although they lack righteousness and elegance, they are indeed specialized in things, and they can be boasted.

Moreover, although the Shen family is criticized for the rise of the martial arts sect that is thin on etiquette and righteousness, if you really observe it carefully, even if the children of its clan are lacking in creation, they really haven't heard much of the evil deeds of bullying people, of course, Shen Chong himself is an exception. However, in fact, although the Shen family has been criticized, its family style is much stricter than that of some old wangmen with a good reputation.

"Xi Gong is virtuous, and everyone recites it. Ling Lang was born at such a portal, and why should he suffer from the shade of virtue. Follow the old traces of the father, and be more than calm. But even if it's Gong Xi, I don't dare to boast that I can do my best to be good at complicated personnel. Previously, I said that Gong Xi's reprimand was too harsh, and it is precisely because of this that the so-called peach and plum do not speak, and the next is its own. Even if Gong Xi has no strict training, Ling Lang Dan is a middle-aged person, and the court door has such a virtuous parent, how can he be lawless? ”

Shen Chong pointed to Xi Su, who was standing next to him and listened attentively, and said with appreciation: "Growing up in the Xin room, the sleeves of the robe are fragrant, according to my opinion, Ling Lang is already a father." It is true that virtue is beautiful, but Xi Gongxing has been going on so far, and he should also know that if he wants to establish the world calmly, he should still learn from others and benefit me. Gong Xi, you take the things that the court door has, and fiercely admonish the children to follow it, and there is no way to do it, and what you can teach can only be the guinea dog that is immersed in the elder Yu Ze, and it is really lacking in more enterprising ability! ”

Xi Xuan stood on one side, and when he heard Shen Chong's remarks, he almost couldn't help but clap his hands and admire, this Shen Sikong is the person who really understands him! In the past, his father taught him that he only talked about virtue, and it was always a big truth over and over again, which made him feel depressed. Although he was tired in his heart, he did not dare to disobey his father's orders.

Today, Shen Sikong's words were simply an enlightenment for him, and he suddenly woke up. The reason why he has been silent in the current situation for a long time and has not raised his voice for a long time is precisely because his path was confined by his father to the old path he had traveled.

As Xi Jian's son, it is the most normal thing for him to be able to be courteous and knowledgeable, even if he does a good job in this regard, what is there to boast about? In this respect, his father was a shackle that trapped him, a shadow that hung over him for a long time.

On the other hand, Shen Dadudu, who was born in Jiangdong, followed things in Jiangbei, grew up in a bad household, and obeyed the king's orders. Whoever makes a difference can naturally get rid of the shadow of the family, which is an achievement that belongs to oneself and is praised by others.

And in this process, Shen Sikong did not restrain him, but let it go. Shen Dadudu's natural ability is not weak, coupled with the great help of the family's township capital base, he can naturally make great achievements and be known in the world.

If you really compare each other, your father will not only support him, but will only reprimand him in the name of virtue accumulated over the years, although the reason is good, but even if he obeys the etiquette and benevolence, how can he surpass his father who has accumulated most of his life in this regard? Naturally, many actions are many shortcomings in the eyes of my father.

Xi Jian didn't know that in his son's mind, he was no longer a good father, and he also fell into contemplation because of Shen Chong's words.

Of course, he will not be bewitched by Shen Chong's crooked reasoning, just one point, virtue is a long-term self-restraint and cultivation, how can it be equated with those real goods and family assets. But Shen Chong's words still touched him, that is, it made him reflect on whether he was too protective of his sons?

Although Xi Jian was in power in the second half of his life, the first half of his life can be called bumpy, he was implicated in the military disaster in his early years, most of his family members have withered, and he was over forty knees before he got Xi Su's son, since it is inevitable to cherish it, he has stayed by his side for a long time, and even the early front desk was reluctant to let his son leave him and become an official.

Seeing that Shen Weizhou, a young man younger than his son, has won many awards in Jiangbei, and even surpassed his veteran Uncle Fang, if there is no imbalance in his heart, it is impossible. This kind of loss will inevitably be angry with his son, so he will be dissatisfied with his son.

Now that he heard Shen Chong say this, he couldn't help but reflect on whether he really seemed to be strict, but in fact he was spoiled, and he protected his son too well, so that he raised a mediocre guinea dog with no enterprising ability?

If it was in the past, even if what Shen Chong said was really reasonable, Xi Jian might not agree. But now, he is no longer in power, and he is already old, especially when he saw Director Wang the day before yesterday, he was still talking and laughing, and the next day he lingered on the sickbed, really sleeping tonight, I don't know if I can wake up tomorrow, and how long can I take care of my son?

Thinking of this, Xi Jian was not in the mood to argue with Shen Chong, and bowed his hand to Shen Chong for a while, and then sighed: "It's a pity that I can't hear about the mystical theory early, because of my own obsession, I have disappointed my son Shaonian." ”

Hearing Xi Jian say this, Shen Chong was also stunned, but he didn't expect that he would even persuade Xi Jian with his crooked reasoning, and the little resentment in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he smiled and said: "Why do you say this, I just share my experience, and I really shouldn't thank you." What's more, the sages all said that it was okay to die at night, and it was not too late for Gong Xi to recognize old mistakes and be sensitive to self-reflection. ”

Xi Jian was originally a little sad, but when he heard Shen Chong speak so loudly and regarded his crooked reasoning as Taoism, he suddenly felt sick to his stomach, the corners of his mouth twitched, and finally he didn't say anything.

Seeing this scene, Xi Chong on the side couldn't help but admire Shen Chong even more, even his father was impressed by his reasoning, Shen Chong's image in his mind was simply a gold-edged teacher's character!

He peeked at his silent father, then looked at Shen Chong, and after a little groaning, he had the courage to step forward and salute: "Seeing Gao Shi, Fang knows that the form is filthy." The boy dared to ask for instructions, I wonder if he was lucky enough to be able to enter the Sikong Sect to listen to the teachings? ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Shen Chong was slightly stunned, but even Xi Jian was stunned for a while, and looked at his son in disbelief, thinking that he was hallucinating.

Soon, a look of annoyance and anger appeared on the old face of Xi Jian, even if he Gaoping Xi is not a first-class Qingwang family, but he is still quite old-fashioned, his sister-in-law actually wants to worship Shen Chong, the patriarch of the clan, as a teacher, this is really ashamed of the ancestors!

"Hugh is presumptuous! Sikong is the pillar of the Sheji Lord, how can you be allowed to come and go in and out of the waves! ”

Xi Jian reprimanded suddenly, if it wasn't for being a guest and Shen Chong was watching from the side, he promised to beat out the blood of this ignorant inferior son.

Xi Su was extremely stubborn at this time, although he lowered his head to avoid his father's eyes that were almost about to burst into anger, he still insisted: "I know that I have no deeds and can boast of my reputation, but as Sikong said, I have been taught by my father since I was a child, and there is nothing wrong with being obedient and courteous." I don't dare to promise to be able to chase after the high sages of Liang Gong, as long as I can inherit the profound knowledge of Sikong, I will remember the virtue and benefit of the teacher. ”
