Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 427
The layout of the courtyard where ordinary people usually live can often tell the owner's intentions.

Although the location of Xie's house is not good, once you step through the door, you feel as if you have entered another world, clean and tidy, completely different from the messy scenes on the streets.

The front yard of this yard is open, and there are not many bamboos, trees, flowers and stones. There is a half-withered plum tree on both sides of the main hall.There are no floor tiles or slabs laid in the yard, the soil color is bare, and there are two large nurseries in the corner, but now they are empty, and there are no green bamboos that people used to plant in their homes.

The whole courtyard gives people a simple and simple feeling. In fact, this kind of layout is more comfortable to live in than those garden villas with too many ingenuity and ingenuity.

Everyone from the Xie family came out to welcome the princess. Xie Po's stepmother Zhuang Shi, Xie Shang's wife Yuan Shi and several female relatives led Princess Xingnan to the backyard.Shen Zhezi, accompanied by Xie's father and son, entered the atrium and entered a small building in the warm pavilion.

What makes Shen Zhezi more regrettable is that he didn't get to see that little guy Xie An. After asking, he found out that only these people in front of him returned to the capital of Xie's family this time, and the rest stayed in Jingkou.After all, because of Yu Tiao's contract, the Xie family also took some shares in Yinjue, and already had some property in Jingkou, which was run by Xie Yi's little-known third uncle Xie Guang.

After each other sat down, Shen Zhezi smiled at Xie Po: "The younger generation has a bond with Wu Yi, and should have come to visit Mr. Xie earlier, but it was only disturbed by many mundane things, and the trip could not be done until today."

Although Xie Po's elder brother Xie Kun is a famous scholar, but he himself does not have too much profound style, giving people the impression that he is a man who abides by Confucianism and etiquette.

This is quite normal, no matter metaphysics or Confucianism, they are both broad and profound, and it is difficult for ordinary people to learn one way alone.Therefore, among the celebrities who have crossed the river, talents like Wang Dao and Yu Liang who can get in and out of Confucianism and master the two schools are considered top-notch.Those who are completely mysterious like Chen Liuruan's are even slightly inferior.

The Xie family's real improvement in Confucianism can be traced back to Xie An's grandfather, Xie Heng. After that, Xie Kun's name suddenly became clear, and he was also a master of Confucianism.As for Xie Po, he was inferior.

Hearing Shen Zhezi's polite words, Xie Po laughed at the table and said: "The son-in-law has done a lot of work and is highly respected by the people. It is an honor to be able to visit him when he is old in the countryside."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Shang beside him said, "I have always admired my son-in-law's clear diction and extraordinary talent. Every time I let Wu Yi introduce him, I have never had a chance. I regret it so far."

Shen Zhezi sat at the banquet and heard what his uncle and nephew said, and he realized something in his heart.Xie Po focused on his achievements, it can be seen that he has been unemployed for a long time, and his mood is a little restless.Xie Shang wanted to erase the meaning of his uncle's words, but because of his eagerness, Xie Po's heart became more prominent.

From this point of view, no matter what the endowment is, after all, it needs to be honed to become calm in dealing with others.

"In front of Brother Renzu, how dare you boast of your aloofness. To be honest, I am Jiu Murenzu's demeanor. I have always been afraid of dirty thoughts and polluting the audience. I have always been afraid to invite him. This time, I was invited by Wu Yizhi to pay a visit to the mansion. , is also bold for a long time. I hope that I can accompany you for a long time, a clear gentleman, and wash my vulgar feelings."

Shen Zhezi laughed at the banquet, saying this was not flattering, considering the current aesthetic standards of elegance and taste, Xie Shang should be number one among the people he met.

In this regard, whether it is Yin Hao, who can't hope for it, who has just reluctantly entered an official position, or Wang Yue, who has died of illness, it is slightly inferior.As for Wang Meng, Liu Tun and the like, they are still young children, and their demeanor has not yet been developed.

The Xie family has officially acquired Liefang Town since Xie Shang. Apart from the foundation laid by the ancestors, Xie Shang's own quality is also an extremely important reason.

Hearing that Shen Zhezi spoke so highly of himself, Xie Shang also laughed.In front of Shen Zhezi, he actually has no psychological advantage. Although he has a good reputation nowadays, people at that time only appreciate him, and it has not yet reached the opportunity to transform into political support.The current situation of him is not even as good as Yang Ben, the son of Yang Man.

Xie Yi interjected next to him and said, "My son-in-law has many poems and prose, and my elder brother especially loves the "Fu on the Jade Plate". I often transcribe it indoors, and accompany it with real objects to recite and accompany the food. It has a long memory."

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little honored and even secretly happy.He has also plagiarized poems, but most of them are the main themes, such as Xuanyan, Youxian poems, etc., and he has hardly copied them.When Xie Yi talked about his original and old work, he flattered the idea, and the truth and falsehood were fine, which already made Shen Zhezi a little complacent.

"The diction is one, the spirit is long and the meaning is far away. It is lonely and emotional, thinking about the world; quietly moving, looking at the world. The combination of Taoism and literature, diction and collection, is really whimsical, and the beauty is solid, and the emotion and aspiration are both expressive. The strength of character is all there. While chanting, the sound of pearls and jade is breathed out; beside the eyebrows, the color of wind and clouds is curled up. How much talent and thinking I have, will be driven by the stars, the sun and the moon, and I will not hesitate to sway it.”

During the banquet, Shen Zhezi talked about the way of writing diction with joy, and then added a humble sentence: "The way of writing is endless, I just walk with steps, and dare not speak beautifully."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xie Shang on the other side in a daze, his lips moved faintly, and after a while he suddenly stood up, cupped his hands to Shen Zhezi without saying much, then turned around and left quickly, which made everyone in the banquet a little confused.

Shen Zhezi was still thinking about whether he had made a slip of the tongue, and Xie Ju, who had been silent all this time, said, "Elder brother, every time he hears a good word, he always touches it for a long time, and never forgets it. What the son-in-law said has exquisite grammar and profound meaning, and the eldest brother is eager to leave the stage and write it down silently." , and please don’t mind the consort.”

Hearing this, Shen Zhezi understood, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.Most of what he said came from "The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons", but he was not specialized in it, so he picked up some theoretical nonsense that he still had some impressions to show off, but he did not expect to receive such an effect.

"It's not just Renzu, even I have learned a lot from the compendium of the son-in-law. It's good to talk about diction and so on. The concubine's high-level remarks are concise and broad-minded. It taught me a lot.”

Xie Po twirled his beard at the table and said that he is also a person who has read a lot of poetry and books, but his talent is limited and there are few good works.Hearing Shen Zhezi's words, and comparing them with those famous articles in my memory, it seems that I have vaguely grasped the essence of diction writing.

With such a feeling, when Xie Po looked at Shen Zhezi again, his vision was slightly different.He treated Shen Zhezi politely before, in fact, he still looked at the current status of the other party, but in fact, there was a faint resistance in his heart.

Resentment between the north and the south is the norm nowadays, especially for middle-aged people like Xie Po who grew up in the north and traveled to the south, the contempt for the southerners is deeply rooted.Earlier when Xie Yi returned home and told the Shen family to recruit, Xie Po had been hesitating.In his opinion, throwing himself into the court of the Southerners is a bit self-willing and depraved, and he is ashamed to see his old friends.

It's just that the world is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten. A few days ago, Yang Dan went around saying that he was bound to win the position of Yuzhang prefect, but now Xie Po was cornered and had no choice.

Originally, his family had made the Wang family resentful because of Wang Biaozhi's incident some time ago, so he personally visited the house, but Wang Bin didn't even see him behind closed doors, and there was no definite news from the Taibao.Now that a strong competitor has emerged, especially since he has no advantage in all aspects compared with this competitor, Xie Po can't help but feel a little defeated.

Asking his son to invite Shen Zhezi here today, Xie Po also wanted to have a better understanding of the Shen family's attitude towards him.Although the Shen family is his only choice right now, if the other party doesn't value him, then he will change his family this time and get another one, but he will really want to cry without tears.

　Alas, I was sweating. . .
