Chapter 38
Xie Rongzhao didn't know what Xie Xiuwen was thinking at this moment, he still looked at Xu Shanchang very happily.

"Grandpa Xu, isn't my father a beauty?"

Xu Yuanqing couldn't stand the little baby's childish words anymore, so he burst out laughing on the spot.

The child was delivered, and Xu Yuanqing didn't stay too long, but he was affected by the footsteps behind him when he walked halfway, and turned around to see that it was the young man who was carrying Guaibao up the mountain.

"Mr. stay!"

Xu Yuanqing looked at him meaningfully: "What's the matter?"

Cheng Jingzhou also ran over as soon as his brain got hot, but he didn't know how to speak when he got here.

After all, it is the Xie family's business, even if he is engaged to Guaibao, he is still an outsider.

But if he didn't tell Shanzhang Xu, he didn't know if Guaibao's words would make the Shanzhang feel bad for Uncle Xie.

"Sir, let me ask you something about the filial piety earlier. It's not that she doubted the wisdom of her ancestors. It's just that she has suffered a lot even though she is young, so she asked this question."

Xu Yuanqing paused, thinking that Xie Xiuwen's joy when he saw the little girl was not faked.

Xiao Guaibao asked that question earlier, obviously he had doubts about filial piety, after all, he was just a child, and it was common sense that he didn't understand.

Now Cheng Jingzhou deliberately came here to explain, probably because he was afraid that he would be dissatisfied with Xie Xiuwen again.

"Well, it's okay, Tongyan has no taboo, besides, there is some truth to what she said. You don't have to worry about it."

Only then did Cheng Jingzhou heave a sigh of relief, and said, "Thank you sir."

Xu Yuanqing didn't think it was a big deal, and the young man probably cared about it, so he got confused.

Besides, after Xie Xiuwen entered the room with Guaibao in his arms, he pinched her little face and began to question her.

"Who taught you? How come you are the most beautiful woman in the world, Daddy? You can say that? Why are you so thick-skinned?"

Xie Rongzhao's face was deformed by being ripped off, and he said vaguely: "Nobody taught me, daddy is beautiful!"

Xie Xiuwen was both angry and funny, and said angrily, "You can't talk like that again in the future."

Xie Xiuwen mainly wanted to save face. Fortunately, only Xu Shanchang heard the words. If it spread to the ears of other students, he would be ashamed to come out to meet people again.

No one expected that Xu Yuanqing would meet Xie Xiuwen alone the next day.

As soon as they met, Xu Yuanqing threw the question of Guaibao to him.

"Those who love relatives dare not be evil to others; those who respect relatives dare not be slow to others. Do you think this is reasonable?"

Xie Xiuwen hurriedly said respectfully: "Since it is the "Book of Filial Piety" written by the ancestors, it must be well-founded."

Xu Yuanqing nodded in satisfaction: "Then tell me, if your parents want your life, will you give it or not?"

Xie Xiuwen opened his mouth slightly and remained silent for a long time.

Cheng Jingzhou had already told him all the ins and outs of the matter, and to be honest, he never thought that Guaibao could ask such a tricky question.

Even if he thought about it all night, he still didn't come to a convincing conclusion.

"Have no idea?"

Xie Xiuwen was silent for another moment and said: "My son said: Son obeys father, Xi Zi is filial? Minister obeys emperor, Xi Chen is chaste? Examining the reason why he obeys is called filial piety, and it is called chastity. The students think that their knowledge is shallow, but they still agree with the sage. The argument is just like the sage once confessed to the students that Zeng Shen was wrong. The students think that filial piety itself is not wrong, but the specific reasons should be analyzed in detail.”

The smile in Xu Yuanqing's eyes grew stronger.

It seems that he already has candidates for his disciples this time.

Not blindly obeying blindly, this is the way to be a minister.

If, like Zeng Shen, you just stubbornly think that obeying your father's orders is filial piety, then you are very wrong!
"Well, sit down."

Xie Xiuwen sat down anxiously, fearing that his husband would come up with some difficult problems to test him.

"There is a topic on it, and I won't embarrass you. I want to read your article when there is a stick of incense."

"Yes, sir."

Xie Xiuwen can't care about anything at the moment, he knows very well that whether he can become Xu Shanzhang's disciple is a matter of success or failure!
An hour later, Xie Xiuwen came out of the husband's yard, and no one knew that his underwear was already soaked.

Facing the former emperor teacher, Xie Xiuwen couldn't help being nervous. Coupled with Xu Shanchang's power, Xie Xiuwen felt that if he dared to be opportunistic, he would have to be seen through.

After finishing the inscription tremblingly, he didn't find that Xu Shan was unhappy, but gave him some pointers.

In this way, a huge rock in Xie Xiuwen's heart finally fell.

Even if he can't be his apprentice, at least he won't be disgusted by Xu Shanzhang.

Xie Rongzhao didn't stay in the academy for too long, the academy has the rules of the academy, allowing them to come up the mountain to deliver some clothes, it is already a special treat.

When leaving, Xie Rongzhao was 1 unwilling.

The little baby wrapped his arms around his neck and whimpered for a while.

Although the academy couldn't stay anymore, Cheng Jingzhou's affairs were not finished yet, so he took them to another house of the Cheng family in Fucheng.

The Cheng family's family background is not bad at all, they can't be considered wealthy, but looking at the county town, they are already quite good.

The Cheng family's house in Fucheng is not big. After all, the housing prices here are much more expensive than those in the county.

Rao is such a small courtyard with two entrances, and it cost more than 600 taels of silver.

After Cheng Jingzhou settled down with Xie Rongzhao and Liu Sanlang, he went to the study alone to greet his father.

"You thank uncle for your talent. It's just that the previous two exams were unsatisfactory. Do you know why?"

Cheng Jingzhou looked curious: "Please tell my father clearly."

Cheng's father gave him a meaningful look: "Remember, at any time, you must not forget about family affairs. Restlessness in the house is the root of disaster."

Although Cheng's father didn't reveal much, how could Cheng Jingzhou not hear it?
This is alluding to the unrest in Xie's house, so why did Uncle Xie fail the ranking twice?
Thinking about it carefully, the person who could make Uncle Xie feel unwell before the exam must be someone close to him.

Cheng Jingzhou was young after all, his face changed with fright, and he felt a little at a loss for a while.

Cheng's father took his reaction into his eyes, "The two elders of the Xie family are partial to the eldest room, and Mrs. Xie is even more unwilling to let Xie Xiuwen overwhelm the eldest room, so she doesn't want Xie Xiuwen to be too brilliant."

"But it doesn't make sense!"

Cheng Jingzhou was taught by his grandfather since he was a child, and he knew the importance of the glory of his son to the prosperity of the family. He couldn't understand it. How could anyone think that it was his fault that his son was too good?
"You're right, it's unreasonable."

Cheng Jingzhou tentatively said: "Father, can you send someone to check?"

Cheng's father smiled, shook his head and said, "This is your uncle's family business. Besides, you think he can't think of a problem that you and I can think of?"

 Zeng Shen was a student of Confucius, a well-known filial son, and his father would beat him to death without motivating him.The world praised him as a filial son, but Confucius didn't think so, and even said that Zeng Shen would not be allowed to see him in the future.
