0051 The way of the scholar family
After leaving Taicheng, Shen Zhezi first returned to the Shen Mansion in Jiankang City, although the imperial sword honor guard can theoretically be carried through the city with swagger, but in Jiankang City, the founding lords of the second grade are not rare, and there is really no need to show off.

The so-called MG, for Shen Zhezi, is just a little adjustment after hard work, and he is not obsessed with it. But the clansmen of Jiankang Shen Mansion don't think so, although the Shen family is not high, and a marquis in Guannei is not worth paying much attention to, but the person who won the knighthood is Shen Zhezi, and the situation is different.
Today's Shen Zhezi seems to have become a benchmark for the Shen family to move from a strong sect to a cultural scholar, and just by becoming a disciple of Ji Zhan, he can be called the most outstanding one among the younger generation of the Shen family.
After returning to the Shen Mansion for a short stay and dealing with the congratulations of the clansmen, Shen Zhezi was just about to leave, and Shen Xian, the old man of the Western Sect, came again to celebrate Shen Zhezi. Shen Zhezi couldn't resign, so he could only stay to deal with the exchanges, and also take this opportunity to feel the Shen family's network display.
In the first night, there was a gathering within the Shen family. There are about 20 families in Jiankang City, some of whom live in the Shen Mansion and some of whom set up their own doors outside. Most of them are members of the Western Sect, although they share a county, but in this era, once the sect is divided, even if it is a big crime of stealing the family and exterminating the clan, they are not implicated in each other. But if there is a need to unite with each other, it is like blood is thicker than water, and they are happy.
Originally, the Shen West Sect was to prosper over the East Sect, from the old Wu to the beginning of the rank of merit, all the Wu turmoil has meritorious service, although not as prominent as the Yixing Zhou Sanding Jiangnan, but the so-called Jiangdong Hao, Mo Qiang Zhou, Shen, the most important thing is the famous name of the children of the West Sect.
Dongzong is a little inferior in terms of merit, starting from Shen Zhezi's grandfather Shen Lan who died not long ago, he has been deeply rooted in the township, farming and management, of course, accompanied by the black means of merging and bullying, and the family is becoming richer and richer. In the generation of Daddy Shen Chong, it has reached an explosive period.
After Shen Zhezi apprenticed to Ji Zhan, the two sects of the east and west now, whether it is from the perspective of the family or the official position, the eastern sect has faintly overwhelmed the western sect.
This is simply a model of two-legged walking, and it is also the norm for the survival of the big clan nowadays. When the Western Sect was strong, the Eastern Sect took advantage of the situation to operate the industry and consolidate the economic foundation. When the Eastern Sect came from behind, the Western Sect took advantage of this momentum to take a step further.
For example, Shen Xian of Xizong, the official residence of the Qing Dynasty in Taiwan Province, has weakened his influence, and although the second son has obtained a title, he has no actual appointment. Now taking advantage of the momentum of Dongzong, one has become the father of Huiji County Mansion, and the other has served as the county guard of Guangyang, sweeping away the original somewhat decadent family background.
But both the Eastern and Western sects are facing a difficult cultural transformation. If you can't make academic achievements, you will be the so-called family without a prominent education, and you will stand in the present with the posture of a strong sect by force, and it will not be recognized by the mainstream society.
Such an embarrassing social status is clearly manifested through the children's disadvantage. Appraisal of talents and products, usually only hovering between four or five grades, which directly affects the future career, most of them start from the turbidity stream, and it is almost difficult to jump to the official position of the clear stream. Most of them can only serve as the second subordinate of Peng, and there are few Cao and the chief supervisor.
No matter how mentally retarded a system may seem on the outside, if it is approved and implemented by the entire social strata, only by being in it can we feel its powerful power. The different streams of Shishu are not only reflected in the official position and power, but also the all-round gap in all aspects. For the cold snap, not only the whole society does not recognize, but even itself looks down on itself.
Wuxing Shen's family, although it is strong, but in order to be recognized by the mainstream, if there are no major changes, at least it will take more than 100 years of efforts. It was not until the Shen Yue era of the Southern Dynasty that there was the status and style of the cultural scholars, and you can imagine how difficult it is to break through this invisible barrier.
The reason why it is so difficult to gain the recognition of the cultural scholars is mainly due to the obstacles of those veteran scholars. Intellectuals were pretentious and arrogant, especially in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and it was difficult to impress them with either financial resources or power. Only academic and indisputable achievements can be widely recognized.
As for metaphysics and clear talk, the style of doing things is another shortcut. The so-called ten good things with the leader are better than one bad thing. Discussing the doctrine of righteousness with a straight face, nothing is as pleasant as drinking and having fun with a prostitute. The Chen Guohuan clan and the Chen Jun Xie clan made the family soar from this shortcut. The so-called Qingwang is the recognition of the famous people of the scholar clan.
Such as Huan Yi and Xie Kun, they may not be keen on this by nature, just to gain recognition, even if they are resistant, they can only pinch their noses and suffer for the prosperity of the family.
But even so, in the eyes of Ruan Yu, a veteran scholar, it was just a "new door, dutiful and rude" evaluation, and he didn't feel blushing when he said this, it seemed that Chen Liuruan's clan was the least obedient among the clan of scholars.
Only by understanding such a background can we realize the great significance of Shen Zhezi's recognition and appreciation of the Nanshi people and teaching the scriptures as an apprentice to the entire Wuxing Shen family. Today's Shen Zhezi is a window opened by the cultural scholar clan to the Wuxing Shen family, and through this window, he gradually squeezed into the ranks of the Qingwang High Gate.
Although he does not recognize this value, Shen Zhezi can only accept it at the moment. At least this is not a bad thing for him, he has improved his voice in the family, and he can more effectively access and dispatch the family's resources to achieve his goals.
Many clansmen gathered together, and Shen Zhezi became the undisputed center and attracted much attention. Not only did the elders praise him, but the cousins of the younger generation, regardless of their age, also came to Shen Zhezi to make a sense of existence.
Although Shen Zhezi is not very old, his social circle is very high, and his quality is far better than that of their friends. If you can get into it, it will be a great benefit to your life.
The last time I saw many clansmen, it was before I apprenticed to Ji Zhan. Now less than a month has passed, and Shen Zhezi has felt the change in the atmosphere of the entire family. Many young clansmen cleaned their faces and powdered their faces, with their big sleeves fluttering, while some old guys also held their tails and talked eloquently, as if they had already taken on the style of a cultural warrior.
Seeing these changes, Shen Zhezi was really a little crying and laughing, and he was really incompetent to accept the pursuit of this kind of fashion taste. There is a herd nature in people's character, blindly pursuing gregariousness, if everyone says that is delicious, there will really be people who are happy to eat, and even be able to derive a little cultural atmosphere.
Having said that, eating may not hurt the body, and dispersing will kill people.
Shen Zhezi can still accept these changes in the vassal elegance of the clansmen, but taking cold food and eating loose is the bottom line that he absolutely cannot accept. The destruction of the mind may not be as severe as that of drugs in later generations, but the damage to the body is still excessive. He didn't want to see his people become sick and sick people who couldn't bear the weight of their clothes, and they chattered every day.
Taking advantage of the gathering of the clansmen, Shen Zhezi confessed this hidden worry to Shen Xian, and said the harm of persuasion.
Shen Xian was originally an old man who came alive in the old Wu era, and he was not affected by the Xuanfeng of Qing Talk, and he was especially unaccustomed to the Xuanxuan and debauchery brought to Jiangnan by the Qiaomen. Hearing Shen Zhezi's words, he thought it was true, and even if he stated that he would include the ban on dispersion in the clan rules, one would be flogging, the second would be imprisoned, and the third would be opened.
Hearing this new ban on clan rules, the faces of some of the clansmen changed suddenly, including Shen Peizhi, a famous man Miao Zi that Shen Zhezi focused on cultivating. It can be seen that the wind of dispersion has been bred in the Shen family.
Shen Zhezi did not expect to be able to prohibit the clansmen from dispersing with this ban on clan rules, after all, it has become one of the means of communication nowadays, and the Shen family can afford this kind of luxury consumption. But at the very least, we can establish a concept of right and wrong in the minds of these people, and it is wrong and immoral to obey.
In the future, even if these clansmen want to disperse, they must be sneaky and not publicized, and they will not be ashamed but proud. The punishment of the clan rules is secondary, and the most important is the moral condemnation of the heart. They may not be able to restrain this problem themselves, but they will certainly be able to carry forward the style of being lenient with themselves and strict with others, and when educating the children of their tribesmen, they will strictly order them not to be disobeyed.
Shen Xian's family is quite decisive in the military, and as soon as the ban on clan rules is determined, he will order someone to search and inspect his body. Anyone who is found to have taken a loose meal or a person who carries cold food with him should be punished even in court. Shen Peizhi's elders are whipped five, and the juniors are all whipped ten, this is the first offender's sentence commuted, and the first offender will be whipped twenty in the future.
As a result, what was originally a happy family banquet party turned into a criticism meeting of wailing and screaming. As the initiator, Shen Zhezi was calm, facing the complaining gaze of the punished, without a sense of embarrassment. Anyway, this group of guys didn't dare to do anything to him, and they didn't want to make up for it after complaining.
The so-called family style is established bit by bit, gradually taking shape, and subtly shaping the character of the people in the family and the attitude towards the world. When he became an official and faced the general public, he finally formed an image of the entire family being recognized by the public through one incident after another.
Regarding the so-called "aristocracy" concept in later generations, Shen Zhezi did not have a specific cognition. However, as a member of the scholar class, Shen Zhezi feels that in addition to enjoying political, economic, and cultural privileges, the least responsibility of the scholar clan is to convey a correct value to the society and guide the entire social atmosphere to a more practical side, rather than being capricious and detached from reality.
If you only enjoy privileges and do not bear the corresponding responsibilities, the so-called nobles, no matter how high the family is, are just rotten meat in a vermilion lacquer box, which seems to be luxurious and delicacious, but in fact it stinks.
For the Wuxing Shen family, the ban is just a small step in Shen Zhezi's heart. He will definitely be in charge of this family, popular in this era, based on reality, and make meritorious contributions, which is the minimum quality that a person should have.
Ask yourself, Shen Zhezi is not averse to the Wei and Jin demeanor of pursuing freedom and liberating individuality.
In fact, in all historical dynasties, this is the most lively era in the world, and it is also the era with the most vivid characters. The only thing that is dissatisfied is that these celebrities should concentrate on liberating their nature, don't take their positions and ignore them, occupy the pit and don't!
