A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 83 Where righteousness lies

The city of Bianliang praises the benevolence and righteousness of the Shen family, but the Shen family is worried about all kinds of meat.

Shen An thought of Bao Zheng and asked someone to send a sheep and five chickens over, saying they were for the child and the nanny.

He felt that Lao Bao would not accept it.

"The county prince's palace will also send some."

Shen An felt like a landlord collecting rent, but the rent was so much that he could only give it away.

"elder brother!"

Guoguo is still begging, she just wants to turn these poultry into her own pets.

Shen An pinched her cheek gently and said with a smile: "If we keep all these things, our house will stink."

Think of a family full of chickens, ducks, geese, and sheep. Not to mention they are screaming, but the ground is covered with feces...

Shen An couldn't help but think of Europe in the Middle Ages. It is said that in the cities where there was no place to stay, there was either feces or urine, which led people to make high heels just to avoid feces. The wide top hat is to guard against feces and urine falling from the sky.

There are chickens on the roof, geese at your feet, and a group of sheep looking for grass everywhere...

I can’t get through this day!

"Lang Jun, Mr. Bao has returned the gift."

Shen An looked at the living creature that was missing most of it and was rejoicing. When he heard the sound, he saw it was an ox cart and an old servant.

"My Alang said that Mr. Shen has rough skin and thick flesh, so coarse cloth is most suitable. But the little lady needs to be more affectionate."

Half a cart of fabrics shows the wealth of the important ministers of the Song Dynasty, and women have the most fabrics.

Then came the return gift from the county prince's palace, two carriages.

"You are really rich!"

Shen An felt that the business was good, but the people in the Prince's Mansion said with a proud look that the Prince wanted to have a bite of stir-fried vegetables at night, and he was immediately disgusted.

The old guy is relying on his old age to sell his old age!

"Mr. Lang."

Zhuang Laoshi checked the return gift, came over and whispered: "I'm afraid it's worth hundreds of dollars."

So rich?

Shen An coughed dryly and said, "I still have a few good dishes here to go with the meal. You can find someone to learn from my cook."

"Thank you Shen Daizhao. I will take my leave."

We are all smart people, and the so-called learning of cooking skills is just an excuse. Zhao Yunrang's original intention is to keep the relationship between the two families closer.

No matter what the future holds for Zhao Zhongzhen, as a grandfather, Zhao Yunrang hopes that he can be friends with Shen An.

Shen An inexplicably thought of Shen Bian at this moment.

He looked at the entrance of the alley, and Zhao Zhongzhen rushed over with a chicken feather on his head. He didn't know whether he was excited or frustrated and said: "I just received news that someone in the palace is pregnant."

Shen An touched the top of his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, I have something to teach you here."

In the study, Shen An stood up a piece of paper and said, "I have some knowledge here. From today on, I will teach you this knowledge, so you can learn it easily."

Then the sound of reciting gradually became clearer, and someone outside quietly left.

The officials in the palace were overjoyed. It is said that they have rewarded the palace people three times, but they are probably not so generous during the New Year.

Xiao Qing still went there once every three days, but Shen An took sick leave.

This leave was approved easily. Everyone thought that Shen An felt that Zhao Zongshi was out of business, so in order not to be implicated in the future, he simply used the golden cicada to escape.

Anyone who has competed for that position, as Shen An said, will either succeed or die. The new leader will definitely focus on monitoring and suppressing them when he comes to power.

This boy is very smart!

Bao Zheng felt that Shen An didn't look like this kind of person, so he found an opportunity to go to Shen's house that day.

He walked straight in, not allowing Zhuang Laoshi to report, and then went all the way outside the study.

"...You need to memorize this formula. After learning this, if your family becomes big in the future, it will not be easy for the housekeeper to fool you."

Shen An's laughter came from the room, very relaxed.

Is this guy so relaxed?

Bao Zheng coughed dryly and went in, and saw Zhao Zhongzhen writing with a sad face.

Shen An nodded slightly, and then said: "You endorse it yourself. I will come back later to check it. If you fail, just wait."

Shen An and Bao Zheng left the study and strolled around.

Bao Zheng glanced at him and saw that his expression was as usual and said, "But are you discouraged?"

Shen An shook his head, thinking that Zhao Zhen has no son. You are all happy now. What will happen when a daughter is born?

Moreover, retreating in order to advance was a response he had thought about for a long time, which showed that the Shen family and Zhao Zhongzhen were tied to each other.

Since Zhao Zhongzhen is out of business, I will come back and not be greedy for power.

"Shen Daizhao, my Alang ordered the villain to bring ice."

The two were walking in silence when a servant from the Runan County Prince's Palace came and brought a cart of ice.

The servant's attitude was very respectful, and he was not afraid of Bao Zheng by his side, so he said to himself: "Alang said that Shen Daizhao is thick-skinned and not afraid of cold or heat, but the little lady can't stand it... He also said If you are missing anything, just go to the county prince's house to get it, we don't miss these things."

Shen An smiled and thanked him. The Shen family was not short of money now, but it was difficult for the county and prince's government to express goodwill and refuse.

"What do you think about tying yourself to the Runan County Prince's Palace?"

Bao Zheng felt a little sad and regretful. In his opinion, Shen An's move was stupid.

"You are waiting for an imperial edict. This is an official position given by His Majesty. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net If you keep doing it, you will naturally be blessed in the future."

Shen An shook his head and said: "At this moment, everyone in Bianliang City wants to see the joke of the Prince's Palace. I don't care about others, but Zhong Zhen needs to be protected here."

"Are you willing to stop being an official for this reason?"

Bao Zheng felt very relieved and nodded slightly.

From the end of the Tang Dynasty, warriors killing literati was like killing dogs. And the so-called integrity is gone.

When the Song Dynasty was founded, the literati reflected on those painful lessons and summed up two measures. One was to persist in the policy of suppressing warriors for ten thousand years; the other was to return ideas such as righteousness and loyalty to the emperor to the mainstream, even if they shouted Shouting slogans is still encouraging this kind of thinking.

These days, there is a lot of emphasis on individuality, and Shen An's actions are in line with the mainstream values.

Shen An smiled and said: "Zhong Zhen is still young. A child may not show it on the face when he encounters such things, but he will definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart...Compared with being an official, I think people still have many choices in this life."

The brotherhood was so full of brotherhood in these words that Bao Zheng felt that even his own family could not achieve this level, so he solemnly resigned.

Shen An sent him out, but he didn't see Zhao Zhongzhen in the corner not far behind him, with tears streaming down his face...

"Brother Anbei..."

After Bao Zheng returned, he conveyed Shen An's words to Zhao Zhen.

As the censor Zhongcheng, he thought it was necessary to tell the emperor that there was a heroic and loyal minister whom he had ignored.

Zhao Zhen was in a good mood recently. When he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "Although that young man is cunning, he is still very upright. I, my ministers... let him come back and tell him to come back and do a good job."

He thought for a while and said with a smile: "This young man has a mature temperament and is able to take charge of big things. In my opinion, he is more reliable than many old ministers!"
