A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"Dad, this kid can't do this question."

Taro looked at his younger brother sitting on his father's lap with envy. He wished he could go back to his childhood, where he didn't have to study like his younger brother and was pampered by his parents every day.

Shen An held Maodou in one hand and took the question with the other.

"Wind direction...this is easy to do. You put some spit on your fingers, then stretch your fingers out and feel the coolness, then you will know where the wind is blowing."

Taro tried it, and sure enough, "Dad, what does this mean?"

"This! Saliva is water, and the evaporation of water will take away heat. The accelerated circulation of air will speed up the evaporation of water, lowering the temperature of your fingers, just like your hand touches an ice cube. Do you understand?"

Taro tried again, "I understand."

When Shen An wasn't paying attention, he quietly pinched his brother's fat face, then made a face and ran away.

"Brother... bullying!"

Maodou pursed his lips, and Shen An scolded: "Daddy will deal with him later."

Zhao Wuwu who was standing next to him said thoughtfully: "Lang Jun, ordinary people teach their children by memorizing classics, explaining the words of the sages, and restraining them step by step... But you asked Dalang Jun to learn the study of objects, which is quite strange. indulgence."

"Restraining children and teaching them morality depends on parents' words and deeds every moment. Will they understand the big principles taught to them? Can they remember them firmly? The Shen family teaches their children only big principles, but it is more important. What is important is to use words and deeds to verify those great principles, so that children can remember them and practice those principles."

"Langjun, why didn't the eldest man learn poetry and articles instead of teaching the study of objects?"

As soon as other people's children show signs of intelligence, their parents will immediately teach them poetry. For example, Fang Zhongyong, after being able to write poetry, immediately became a famous figure in the country, but in the end he disappeared from everyone. Many people felt sorry for this, and finally came to the conclusion that Fang Zhongyong's father did not send him to study in time after he became famous. This was the fundamental reason why Fang Zhongyong disappeared from everyone.

"Poems and articles, poetry is just a piece of fun, just like drinking tea and fighting with each other, it's just a piece of fun." Shen An didn't understand why this era takes poetry so seriously, "Isn't it okay not to write poetry in your life?"

Zhao Wuwu thought about it, "It seems like... that's okay."

"It's not like it seems, just make sure." Shen An said disdainfully: "I used to rank first in poetry in the imperial examination. It was an inexplicable decision..."

"Lang Jun, that was agreed by all the officials of the past dynasties." Zhao Wuwu felt that his husband did not respect the emperor, let alone the prime minister, who had dug holes and buried him several times.

"Officials are also human beings."

Zhao Wuwu covered his mouth, his big eyes full of panic.

"Aren't officials just human beings?" There was no one here, so Shen An just started talking nonsense, "As for articles, words come from the heart, but what's the use of knowledge? If you use it, it's a skill, but this skill also requires the use of gorgeous rhetoric. Describing it can be taken seriously by others, just like saying that people must eat. Is this simple? But when it comes to the writings of literati, they can make a beautiful article based on it.

The person who said people must eat is not taken seriously, and the person who wrote the beautiful article is famous all over the world...but they are all the same! Why use gorgeous words to describe something that can be explained clearly in a few words? They have to make a simple truth so confusing, as if they can't show their ability otherwise, it's simply inexplicable! "

This trend later encountered Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who was a cowherd boy. He beat him with a stick and yelled at him, but at least the trend improved.

"Literati like to show off their pens. Those who really do things, such as Prime Minister Bao, Prime Minister Han... who among them will show off these things? In a word, whatever is lacking will be supplemented."

Zhao Wuwu was stunned by this opinion. When he thought about it carefully, it turned out to be extremely reasonable.

"Lang Jun, what do they lack?"

"stupid!"

Shen An complained a lot and felt comfortable all over.

"Mr. Lang, someone is here to look for the little lady!"

"Just say Guo Guo isn't here." Shen An shouted angrily.

Guoguo went to the street with her best friend early in the morning, saying she was going to buy something for Edamame. Shen An felt that buying something for Maodou was fake, but taking the opportunity to go out for a walk was real.

But I also want to go out!

Looking at the edamame in her arms, Shen An felt that children were all creditors, and parents were debtors.

Later someone came.

"Mr. Lang, A Qing from my mother's family is here."

Ah Qing saluted as soon as he came in, and Shen An asked, "But is there something wrong with my mother-in-law?"

"Mr. Lang, the young man has passed the college entrance examination." Ah Qing said happily: "My lady is happy at home, let me tell you."

Yang Zhuoxue is called a lady here, but she is still a little lady in the mouth of her mother's family, which is very funny.

"Zhuo Chao actually passed?"

Shen An vowed that he would never give his brother-in-law a chance to cheat.

"Yeah! Really?"

Yang Zhuoxue came out happily and shouted: "Taro."

"mother!"

Taro didn't want to study, so he ran over in a flash.

"Pack up, let's go to your grandfather's house."

"Wuwu, you go ask Tuesday to prepare the car."

"Where's the edamame?"

Yang Zhuoxue picked up Maodou and said, "Follow me to see your uncle."

"Mom, are you okay?"

"OK OK."

Taro is waiting anxiously.

Shen An was lying on the recliner, feeling that his whole body was transparent and floating...

"Hurry up!"

Yang Zhuoxue changed her clothes and came out, still holding edamame in her hand, and then saw Shen An lying down, "Ah! Official..."

Only then did I realize that there was a big living person here? I'm not your official!

"Sir, my mother is the only one at home right now!"

"I know, go ahead."

Of course Shen An knew, so he could only wait until the afternoon and then meet up with his father-in-law and brother-in-law.

I am just being ignored by my wife and son. This is intolerable.

He just lay there, waiting for his wife and children to leave, and then said with a contented face: "This person's life is good! That Wu Wu..."

Zhao Wuwu took a step back, crossed his arms and looked at Shen An warily.

Shen An said with black lines on his head: "Go and ask Ermei to prepare the lamb chops. I want to grill the lamb chops! What's that look in your eyes? Can I eat you?"

Zhao Wuwu hurried to the front, and Shen An sighed: "I think I, Shen An, will be famous all my life, but no one believes in me!"

The lamb chops are marinated, the charcoal fire is fired, and the wine is poured.

The lamb chops are fat and tender and will be ready to eat in no time.

Shen An used a knife to cut off a piece.

"It's full of oil!"

"tasty!"

He raised his head and took a sip of the light rice wine, which made him feel comfortable all over.

"Brother Anbei..."

Why!

Shen An quickly cut off another piece of meat and ate it, then said vaguely: "It's Yuan Ze!"

As soon as Wang Yu came in, he smelled the aroma of roasted lamb. Seeing Shen An sitting outside and chewing, he couldn't help but praise: "You are living like a god, which is enviable!"

"Here comes the knife!"

He stretched out his hand. Zhao Wuwu was wondering if he had been too defensive recently, so he went to get the long knife.

As soon as he got the knife, Wang Yu looked at Zhao Wuwu blankly, "Do you want me to kill Brother An Bei with this?"

"Ah! Wrong, wrong."

Zhao Wuwu's face turned red and he quickly changed the knife.

The two of them were eating barbecue and drinking wine. When they were eating more than half of the meal, Wang Yu put down his knife and said, "This group of students in the academy is okay, but there are some complaints from Taixue, saying that we have taken away many good students."

"You go to Imperial College for the imperial examination, and you go to Academy to learn your true skills. The two are different. If they complain, just use these words to suppress them!"

Shen An ate another piece and said with satisfaction: "The lamb chops are fat and thin, tender and fragrant. It is indeed the best place to eat."

Wang Yu took a sip of rice wine and said happily: "In the entire Song Dynasty, no, you are the best at making food in the whole world."

"That's right." Shen An said with a smile: "In life, there are only a few people you can't owe money to. The first is your family, the second is your ideal, and the third is your belly. If you make your belly happy, you can talk about anything."

"I'm here for something." Wang Yu's spleen and stomach are weak and he can't eat too much of this kind of food. "There are students from Imperial College who want to come over. Is this possible?"

Shen An shook his head, "No, this is poaching. It's not that I'm afraid of anything, and I'm not afraid of those people from Taixue, it's just that it messes up the rules. Otherwise, someone will come from your side today, and someone will come from his side tomorrow, and it will be a mess. , what else are you reading?”

"That's right." In this regard, Wang Yu's judgment is not as good as Shen An's. "If it gets too big, the academy will become the target of public criticism in the future. That's all. I'll tell someone to reject them later."

Shen An noticed that he was talking about them, and frowned: "There are many paths in life, and if you choose the wrong path, you cannot turn around. Those students see the academy's momentum, so they want to change schools, but we have to stand firm. Don’t act rashly.”

Wang Yu stood up and said, "I know."

At this time Zhuang Laoshi came and said, "Mr. Lang, the Korean envoy has arrived in Bianliang and has just entered the palace."

Shen An nodded, "I understand."

Wang Yu said before leaving: "They came a little late."

The envoys were sent out only after the Song Dynasty had controlled the territory of the Western Bandits, which shows the inner struggle of the Korean people.

"Let's wait and see."

Shen An was sitting at home, preparing to take a nap.

"Mr. Lang, Han Jin, the Korean envoy, wants to see you."

Zhuang Laoshi had a solemn expression on his face, as if this was the White Tiger Hall.

Shen An waved his hand and yawned, "No."

"yes."

Zhuang Laoshi went out all the way. When he saw Han Jin, he said calmly: "My husband is busy with many things and has no time."

Han Jin smiled and said, "That's because I'm disturbing you. It's okay. I'll come back next time."

There was a general beside him, who said dissatisfiedly after hearing this: "Then I'm afraid Shen An can't handle everything every day, right? Can he still do things at home?"

Han Jin turned around and left, "As you wish, host. You have dealt with the Song army, and everyone in the country praised you for your bravery. This time, the king asked you to come here because he wants your bravery to resist the aggression of the Song people."

"Yes." The general smiled a little reluctantly.

If the navy soldiers were here, they would definitely recognize this person as the Goryeo general Li He who was captured alive by Chang Jianren.

At that time, Chang Jianren let him live in order for someone to report the news. Who would have thought that this man would brag about his bravery when he returned, and killed many people in the Song army. In the end, he was tripped by a horse rope and was captured.

As a result, his reputation for bravery spread widely in Goryeo, and this time he came to serve as the sea god needle.

But at this moment, he thought of General Song Gu.

"Attention, General Song is coming." Han Jin stood on the side and looked to the left.

It was Chang Jianren who came. Li He just glanced at him and quickly lowered his head, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net for fear of being recognized.

This Song general had his upper body naked at the time, and he had almost no enemies under his command. He fought from the bow to the stern of the ship. He could be called a devil-level warrior.

Later, Li He led his army to block the Song army's landing, and Li He was the commander-in-chief. At that time, he was fighting with Chang Jianren, and the sword was cut off with just one strike. He quickly knelt down and asked to surrender, but Chang Jianren was furious and kept swinging the sword. Fortunately, Song Jun hugged him, otherwise Li He's bones would have been cold.

How did someone meet him?

Thinking of himself kneeling in front of Chang Jianren and crying bitterly, Li He felt itchy all over and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Hey! What's wrong with your red face?"

Han Jin watched Chang Jianren enter Yulin Alley, and turned around and noticed something strange about Li He.

Li He smiled and said: "Hot! This weather... is really hot!"
