Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1068
Seeing the different performances of the father and son, Shen Chong couldn't help being amused for a while.However, although he often makes people feel uncomfortable, he is not indiscreet. He understands that if he really nods and accepts Xi Yin as a protégé, he will really offend Xi Jian to death, and he will scold him until he dies.

Because this form of acceptance is an extremely serious matter.In the early years, when his family was not promoted to the emperor's relatives, it was gradually accepted by the trend of the times only because of the master-student relationship between his son and Ji Zhan.

And if there is no such relationship, it is impossible to choose the emperor's son-in-law.No matter how much Su Zu thought about wooing the Wu people, it was impossible for him to promise his daughter to a family of local tyrants who had no voice at all.

So after pondering for a while, Shen Chong looked at Xi Yin with an earnest face and said with a smile: "The Zunfu has its own virtuous parents who can teach it by ear and face, so why should Xi Lang ask others. If I respond rashly, If your father wants to commit a crime, I will do it for you."

Hearing Shen Chong's polite refusal with a smile, Xi Jian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but seeing his son's face of failure and frustration, he felt a little uncomfortable.

He didn't want his son to worship Shen Chong as a teacher, not because he looked down on the Shen family in his heart, but because the Shen family really didn't have the qualifications to be a teacher of classics and righteousness. People ridiculed and flattered too much.

Putting this aside, Xi Jian is actually happy to see his son want to follow Shen Chong and follow suit.Because the Shen family is indeed the representative of being sensitive to world affairs in the flow of time, there is no doubt about it.Although he still doesn't have a good impression of Shen Chong, he has to admit that the Shen family's pragmatic style of responding to the situation is the real way to prosper the family.

So he looked at Shen Chong again and sighed: "Although this kid is not bad in nature, he is also occasionally stubborn. I am also getting old and tired, and it is difficult to take care of me for a long time. A mediocre man can't be taught, but he will have to live often in the future I hope that Sikong will not alienate you and be stingy with teaching at that time."

After hearing the words, Shen Chong laughed again: "Don't worry about this, Mr. Xi. The child is in charge of the North, and he also owes a lot to Mr. Xi's teaching and help. A family of benevolence and righteousness can be taken care of by the spring and autumn, and the heirs will never be alone in the world. .”

Speaking of this, he pointed to Xi Yin and said: "Since Xi Lang has a heart of broad knowledge, he might as well spend more time here in the future. At present, there are many children of old good families gathered in this garden, and they talk about it together. Widely involved in history and affairs of the world."

When Shen Chong said that, he was not bragging.The Yunyang Manor he rebuilt is quite famous in Danyang County, so naturally he often comes here to visit.Especially with the tense atmosphere in the capital, Shiliu's families did not want their son Meng Lang to cause trouble, and were happy to avoid gossip in the capital.

So gradually, this Yunyang Village has also become a gathering point for fashionable young people in Kinki outside the capital, and of course the main ones are the children of Wu people.

Although Shen Chong is lackluster in morality and morality, his image of boldness and flexibility is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he is still the ruling Sangong. Xi Yin is not the only one who is impressed by his charismatic personality.

Although Xi Min felt disappointed for not being able to worship Shen Chong as his teacher, he couldn't continue to pull his face down and beg, so the topic could only stop there.

In the evening, a group of people stayed in Yunyang Villa, and Shen Chong called some children of his family and some fashionable young people who were currently in the village to welcome Xi Jian.Naturally, there was no shortage of sensual pleasures at the banquet, and the many novel pastimes and entertainments inevitably opened Xi's eyes. Compared with his peers like Jiang Dong, he felt that he had spent more than 20 years in vain.

Xi Jian was not interested in all the extravagant pleasures, so he left the banquet early, seeing his son leave the banquet with a look of reluctance to send him to the hotel, he felt displeased again and inevitably reprimanded him.

In the past, when Xi Yin heard his father's reprimand, he would inevitably feel ashamed, but today he heard Shen Sikong's high-spirited speech, and this reprimand sounded different to his ears.

Regardless of whether Shen Chong's words are reasonable or not, they have shaken the strong image he has established in his son's mind over the years, which even Xi Jian didn't realize.No matter who you are, if you don't have awe in your heart, you will fall into a kind of confusion, and the various bottom lines you have kept in the past will gradually disintegrate, and you will be easily incited and bewitched.

Before Shen Chong got up the next day, Xi Yin was already standing on the porch waiting.Although he failed to worship Shen Chong as his teacher, he was already restraining himself with disciple etiquette.

Shen Chong didn't dare to be surprised by this, and first went to see Xi Jian as the master, and accompanied him for breakfast.Since the family members sent to the capital have not yet converted, Xi Jian also temporarily stayed in the Shen family. If he enters the capital rashly, it will be difficult for the hundreds of family members who followed him to settle down.

Xi Yin also took this opportunity to express to Shen Chong again his desire to follow the karma.

Shen Chong didn't comment on this, but just called his family members to give some instructions in a low voice, and then the family members hurried out, and after a while, they walked in with a small brocade box and put it on Xi Yin's desk.

"I also deeply feel Xi Lang's eagerness to learn. Let's not mention whether he is a teacher or not. Since he is a good friend and comes later, he must give a little gift."

Shen Chong pointed to the brocade box and signaled Xi Yin to open it.

Without his father watching, Xi Yin felt a little less restrained. After hearing the words, he opened the brocade box, and his face changed suddenly after seeing the things inside.What is placed in this brocade box is not any rare treasures, but the tripod coupons sold by the Huainan Dingcang, with a denomination of [-] yuan, neatly stacked to fill the entire box, there are dozens or hundreds of coupons So much!
The current currency system is chaotic. Although Huainan new money has a high reputation in the market, there are many restrictions on circulation, so it has not become the mainstream in the market.Ding coupons can be used directly as currency in Jiangdong because of the strong reputation guarantee of Dingcang.In other words, the brocade box on Xi Yin's desk contained a full 100 million yuan!
How much is 100 million coins worth?After winter, the price of rice in Jiankang rose. The top-quality japonica rice was only [-] yuan a bucket of rice, and miscellaneous grains such as millet and so on were even less than [-] yuan a bucket.With the prosperity of the city, the prices of all kinds of real estate in Jiankang City are also soaring, but even in the best districts, a million dollars is enough to buy a courtyard that is large enough for a family of ten and is not cramped. homes, and even a surplus.

It's not that Xi Yin has never seen money. He is one year older than Liang Gong, and he has already married and took over part of the family business.Like the many properties donated by the Shen family before, he and his cousins ​​have confirmed through his hands, billions of dollars are not a problem.

But even so, he was shocked by Shen Sikong's generosity.You must know that there is still a difference between property and floating wealth. Millions of dollars are given away as a small gift, which is definitely beyond Xi Yin's imagination.

So he stared at the tripod coupons placed in the brocade box, and was dazed for a while, then suddenly woke up after a while, and felt a little shy, and then hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Such an important gift, I really dare not take it lightly... ...Also please Sikong don't..."

"Money to me is just a speck of dust. I don't like it if I accumulate it thickly, but I don't hurt it when I dissipate it."

Shen Chong smiled and raised his hand to interrupt Xi Yin's words, and then said: "Yesterday, I had a small talk with your father, saying that it is to educate children not to be long-term whips and dogs, but this does not mean that they should let themselves go. Saving money, generally a little With the ability to stand upright, there is no need to worry about it. But this thing is also the most deceptive, making people forget their lives for joy. If you lose control of the ordinary, you will inevitably make depraved and unrighteous actions. It's harmful."

"My father is an example of benevolence. Even I have to admire and follow in this respect, and it is inconvenient to teach you as a teacher. But since it is said here, it is necessary to spread words in order to not weaken the friendship. The scriptures are right and reasonable. I have experience, although I am old and old, I don’t dare to say everything. With this ignorant knowledge, how can I teach people to distinguish right from wrong? Therefore, when I ask for advice, I never persuade people with rotten words, but I just set myself up a bit Shallow to share a little."

Although Shen Chong still stated in his words that he would not be Xi Yin's teacher, but now he seems to be a teacher: "Let's talk about money and profit, there are many mediocre people who say that money is disgusting and destroys people's will. Its harm is not its benefit. If you talk about the benefits of wealth and goods, if you look at Jiangdong, who can know it better than me? Those who hate the voices are just summer insects talking about ice and well frogs talking about the sea. How can you talk about the pros and cons?"

Hearing this, Xi Yin couldn't help nodding his head repeatedly. If a person wants to comment on the good or bad of something, he must be good at it, so that his words can be convincing.Ordinary people have no surplus, so they learn to discuss the good and bad of wealth. What is the difference between this and illiterate people who want to talk about the scriptures and righteousness?In this regard, there is no doubt that Shen Chong has the absolute right to speak.

"When you see people drowning, you teach them to disappear from rivers and rivers; when you see people dying, you teach them to abandon weapons; It’s just disgusting. All things in the world, if they are lacking, they will be poor, and if they are full, they will be flooded. Only when they are in the middle can they get material benefits. This is the case with physics, and the same is true for wealth as a thing.”

Shen Chong said with a smile again.

"If I could have heard Sikong Xian's training earlier, I wouldn't have lost my youth and achieved nothing!"

Hearing this truth that he had never heard before, Xi Yin couldn't help but said with emotion.This is the true and correct view of wealth, unlike his father who only knew how to admonish him to put more emphasis on virtue than wealth.

If a person has no wealth, he cannot stand calmly. The sages of Confucianism72, the poor are only Yan Hui.Only talking about virtue and not about wealth, is it true that everyone in the world must be as virtuous and open-minded as Yan Hui?
Seeing Xi Yin looking at him adoringly, Shen Chong laughed again: "Wealth is not treachery, just like everything else, only by making good use of it can we benefit. In this world, there are many people who are rich and unkind. This is not because the rich are unkind, but It is caused by the evils of the world, blindly speaking, people do not know its nature, and suddenly a huge thing is added to the body, such as a bird throwing water, which is harmful and useless. You ask me for advice, Xi Lang, I have nothing else to teach you, just teach you How to obtain financial benefits and avoid financial disadvantages."

　Something at home delayed the update last night, so I stayed up all night to make up for it. . .
