Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 428
Earlier, Xie Po tacitly allowed the eldest son to join Shen Zhezi's tent, but he didn't really care much about it in his heart, and only regarded it as a test for his son, but he never thought that his son would have to make great achievements.

Xie Po himself doesn't have much wisdom in dealing with the world, and besides bringing him surprises, this unexpected harvest actually brings him a lot of distress.On the one hand, he didn't want his family to get too close to Shen's southerners, on the other hand, he was reluctant to give up this windfall, and he was always having a hard time making a choice.

Originally, when he was in Jingkou, Wang sent someone to express his willingness to recommend him to be the prefect of Yuzhang.This is really a great surprise for Xie Po.

But then accidents happened one after another, making this dream gradually become nothingness.To be honest, compared to Yuzhang, the Wu Xing proposed by the Shen family is much better in Xie Po's opinion.Wuxing is a prosperous and prosperous place in the Three Wus, and it has always been more important than Yuzhang in terms of ministry alone, especially at present.

But Wu Xing also has its disadvantages. There are too many strong clans in the local area, especially the Shen family with a grand position and deep roots.Without the support of powerful figures, even if he went to Wu Xing, he would probably be ostracized, or even humiliated by the local tycoon.

He did remember that in the early years when Yu Tan served as the Zhongzheng of Wuxing County, he was forced to lose face by the son-in-law in front of him and became a laughingstock for a while.Therefore, before accepting the offer from the Shen family, Xie Po had to consider all aspects.

After all, once he walks through the Shen family's family, the old friendship in the past will inevitably be alienated, and the original foundation may also disappear.The positions of the Wang and Yu families in the overseas Chinese family became more and more antagonistic, and the Shen family stood closely with the Yu family.

In other words, if he agreed to this solicitation, it would be tantamount to pinning the future of the entire family on the Shen family.And if you don't agree, maybe the whole family will have no future at all.

In addition, Xie Po was still a bit puzzled, that is, why did the Shen family choose him?
Although Xie Po also understood that judging from the current situation alone, it is very likely that the prefect of Wuxing County will be served by an overseas Chinese.But among the many overseas Chinese families, there is nothing unusual about his family.

And he himself was not a well-known celebrity in Qingwang. He still relied a lot on his elder brother for his resume in his early years. With the death of his elder brother, many families who were originally close to each other are now gradually estranged.This can be seen from the fact that Xie Po has been idle for many years and has not been able to use it.

Of course, the most important point is that there is not much close friendship between his family and the Shen family.The only thing is that his son Xie Yi had some military experience under Shen Zhezi's tent.

He had inquired carefully from his son how his relationship with his son-in-law was, but regardless of whether the juniors were close or not, it would be a bit weak to entrust the future of the entire family here.

But no matter what, the Shen family's wooing this time is already the best choice for his family.He wanted to hear why the Shen family chose him and what they needed from him.

Although he had already made a choice in his heart, Xie Po still hesitated. After all, the Shen family had a strong reputation as Wu Zong in the past. When dealing with such a family, once there were conflicts and conflicts, the consequences would be very serious.The Zhou Zha branch of the Yixing Zhou family, which was exterminated in the early years, is a good example.

Hearing the grammar outline recited by Shen Zhezi, Xie Po was amazed, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.Originally, in his impression, the Shen family was no more than the Wuzong of Southern Xinjiang, with little etiquette and no culture.But Shen Zhezi's grammar is a deep understanding of the essence, and it has the spirit of a strategic plan.

At this age, it would be impossible to sum up such advanced grammar without a good family background and a superior education.With this understanding, Xie Po's perception of Shen Zhezi and the entire Shen family improved.It's like thinking that the other party is an unreasonable barbarian, but after contacting him, he finds out that the other party is actually a civilized person who is more knowledgeable and reasonable than himself. In this way, when we get in touch again, the resistance in our hearts will be much less.

With the change of thoughts in his heart, when Xie Po looked at Shen Zhezi again, his eyes became much softer, pointing at Xie Yi and smiling at Shen Zhezi, "Your son is less literate and more vulgar, and has a hot temper. He was under the consort's tent earlier, There should be no shortage of collisions. As a father, I have not been well-bred, so I need to ask my son-in-law to forgive me a little bit."

"Mr. Xie is serious. No one can be perfect in human affairs. Each has its shortcomings. Wu Yi is brave and courageous. Every time he faces a battle, he will never retreat. As for privately, he is straightforward and innocent. He is a rare good friend. Liangyu abandoned him. The ground will also be dusty, and the pearls will complement each other when they are enshrined in the hall. People don't know their beauty, so they can't use their talents."

Shen Zhezi said with a smile, and when Xie Yi heard this, he started his head a little bit, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "When it comes to discussing mysterious and elegant dramas, I am not as good as my elder brother. I am far inferior to my son-in-law for making a general outline and making decisions." But I don’t have to give in if I abide by my mission and do my best every time I use it.”

"This talk is too arrogant, it can only be gossip in the court, it can't be publicized!"

Xie Po heard his son's bragging, so he put on a straight face and taught him a lesson, and then said with a smile: "Rather than boasting of his abilities, it's better to say that the son-in-law has a deep vision and can make good use of you. It's a good luck that one or two things happen, but It's just secondary work."

Hearing Xie Po's education for his son, Shen Zhezi quite praised it.It is not blindly flattering, nor is it blindly urging tautology. It is just to teach an attitude of being neither humble nor overbearing in dealing with others, which is extremely rare.

Shen Zhezi himself has no experience in parenting, and his father also blindly dotes on him, so much so that it makes him extremely troublesome to educate and guide his little brother Shen Jin.

But having said that, even if Xie Po has the ability to educate, it is probably only passed down to Xie An. As for the other children of his family, there are more or less temperamental problems.For example, Xie Yi, who was in the army a few years ago, restrained himself in front of himself, and yelled at others not once or twice when he disagreed with others.

After that, everyone chatted for a while, except for Shen Zhezi, Yu Manzhi was not left out.

Although Yu Yi is almost kicked out of the center right now, as the main successor of Yu Liang's political legacy, as long as Yu Yi can establish a firm foothold in Yuzhou, there is still a lot to do in Fangzhen or the center in the future.

After all, although Yu Liang died, the influence of the Qiaomen in Yuzhou was not disintegrated, and people like Chu Chong and Zhong Ya were all in power.When Yu Yi can stand up, these people will naturally unite around him again.

Of course, the most important thing in Xie Po's mind right now is Shen Zhezi.After having some transitional topics, he chatted like a small boy: "The day before yesterday, my son went to Wuxing Consort's Township. After returning home, he said that Wuzhong is very beautiful and full of strange things, which made me curious. Would you like to talk Talk about local people?"

After teasing the circle for a long time, he finally got to the point. Shen Zhezi cheered up, and after a little pondering, he said: "Since Mr. Xie has a question, this junior will try to say something. Maybe the words are biased and not lacking in embellishments. After all The nostalgia is unbearable. From the perspective of the younger generation, Wu Zhongshan is dyed with green daisy, the water is plump, the scenery is beautiful, and the countryside is rich. The common people are obsessed with the joy of farming and weaving, and the scholars are good at cultivating the local wind. People are diligent in nourishing their spirits and are lazy. Fighting for courage..."

Shen Zhezi talked eloquently, and Xie Po listened intently in the banquet, and occasionally asked a few questions, wanting to understand a more comprehensive Wu Xing.

Of course, apart from these most superficial appearances, Xie Po was most interested in Wu Xing's personnel disputes. After Shen Zhezi paused, he asked with a smile: "I heard that half of Wu Zhongtai's furniture has joined the Merchant Alliance, and North-South consolidators , Will this make the people waste their money, waste their fields, and have no intention of plowing and weaving?"

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he waved his hands: "There is no need to worry about this. The popularity of Wuzhong is strong, and the small people form farms. They gather the power of hundreds of families to cultivate, and the fields are not abandoned. If there is unbearable Those who work hard, visit the countryside, and collect goods for the farm to buy and sell. Each performs his duties, and each has his own income."

"The younger generation is still in the village for a short period of time, so it is inevitable that you will not be able to explain clearly. If Xie Gong is still confused, the envoy of Wu Xingyu will return to the capital soon, and then the younger generation can introduce him on his behalf, and the two of you can sit down and talk in depth."

"Yu Si'ao has a good way of governing the country. He is worthy of Xunchen. I want to ask him about management."

Although he also knew that Shen Zhezi's description was not lacking in moisture, after listening carefully for a long time, Xie Po was also very excited about going to Wuxing.The only thing to worry about right now is whether the Shen family invited him to Wu Xing, whether they just treated him as a puppet.

After pondering for a while, he said again: "I have heard a lot from the son-in-law, and it is true that my hometown is rich. Although I have lived for many years, I have never had a herdsman. I would like to ask the son-in-law, but I don't know how the son-in-law feels about living in any place. , which is more important?"

"Grand Xie asked this question, but the younger generation stopped asking. I'm just superficial and backward, and those who are capable are just loyal. But if you are a leader who governs the people, I hope that the chief is a benevolent elder who is understanding and experienced. Most of the high-ranking scholars are handsome, and they can’t eat all the farm meals. The stove has its own taste, not necessarily sweet and sour. They can adapt to local conditions and don’t follow the old rules within the rules.”

Since Xie Po asked, Shen Zhezi also bluntly said that Wu Xing has his own local customs, so don't point fingers at what you don't understand.

After hearing Shen Zhezi's answer, Xie Po lowered his head and muttered.To be honest, Shen Zhezi's answer did not satisfy him, which he expected, after all, he has no right to bargain.

Seeing that Xie Po became silent, Shen Zhezi was not in a hurry.Now his family's situation is very good, the choice must be beneficial to him, no matter who goes to Wu Xing to serve as the prefect, it is impossible to give too much autonomy.Which family has nothing to do with moving the Supreme Emperor and placing it on top of their own head to show off their might?
Not to mention Wu Xing, even if Xie Po went to Yuzhang, he still wanted to squat at Wang Shu's feet to be a kid, and the situation might even be worse than in Wu Xing.

After talking for a long time, Shen Zhezi also understood Xie Po's concerns. This is the way things are in the world. If you don't have enough confidence, others dare not reach out to pick up the big cake even if it is put in front of you.

It's like when Yu Liang wanted to put his father in Liyang Yuzhou in the early years, the Shen family didn't even think about it.Based on his family's strength and background at the time, if he went there, it would be a piece of fat that he laundered and sent to others for nothing.

Of course, even though the Shen family was weak back then, at least they still had the confidence to refuse.But the Xie family lived in Jiangdong, and they themselves were duckweeds without foundation. If they didn't have a position in the current situation to maintain their family power, they might disappear soon.

Just like the Chenliu Ruan family who was blindly retreating, they were able to maintain it at the beginning of crossing the river, but with the rapid turbulence of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they were quickly submerged in the long river of history.And like the Taishan Yang clan, which can still be called a high gate today, in the Liu Song period of the Southern Dynasties, it was already regarded as the gate of Hansu by the people at that time!

At Xie Po's place, he should still be worried that if he doesn't agree to the Shen family's wooing, he might face being suppressed.In Shen Zhezi's view, this is inevitable.He has never had the awareness to treat historical figures kindly. If the Xie family can't be used, he will be directly pushed into the dust.

If he wanted to do something, even the Wang family of Langya would not be able to pay a high price just to save Xie's family.

But since it's a wooing, it's not good to make the relationship too rigid.The earlier topic had been thoroughly discussed, so Shen Zhezi started to talk about other things: "The juniors have always admired the unrestrained feelings between the hills and valleys, and every time they think about it, they are fascinated by it. In the past, when I swam in Kuaiji Shining, I felt more The mountains and rivers are round, beautiful and timeless, with long connotations. I can’t help but feel regretful in my heart. It’s unfortunate that the mountains and rivers can’t be sung by virtuous and knowledgeable people in such a quiet world.”

Hearing this, Xie Yi also laughed at the banquet and said: "What the son-in-law said is indeed true. A few years ago, Wulang led me to Shining for a visit. It is indeed a natural and beautiful place. If my uncle goes there, he will definitely be there too. Have fun and forget to return.”

When Xie Po heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Too often unrestrained and self-willed, with profound interest, can be called first-class in the world. If he is still here, and he hears his son-in-law praise the mountains and rivers here, I am afraid that he will get up and travel far away immediately."

"Elegant and elegant, each has its own idiot. Ordinary people are not as good as they are, and they are celebrities. Just like Brother Renzu left the banquet suddenly, it is a pity that he can't hear the voiceless sound, but today is also a small glimpse of the legacy, which can be relieved."

While talking and laughing, Xie Shang walked in from the outside again, with a relaxed expression on his face. It would be a bit sad to hear others talk about his late father, but he was curious to hear that both Shen Zhezi and Xie Yi admired the landscape of Shining Said: "My son-in-law said before that, beside the eyebrows and eyelashes, the color of wind and cloud is curled up, and his ideas are not hesitating. Since the mountains and rivers in that hometown are so beautiful, the son-in-law should have clear thoughts and feelings. I wonder if there is any writing?"

When Shen Zhezi heard this, the smile froze on his face.He changed the subject and said casually, but he didn't expect to lift a rock and shoot himself in the foot.But Xie Shang said it very seriously, not trying to run him down, but everyone at the table, including Shen Yun, was looking forward to it, obviously waiting to read his masterpiece.

Only at this time did Shen Zhezi feel a little overblown embarrassment.Bearing everyone's expectant eyes, he pondered for a while before he smiled and said, "There are a couple of small chapters that I feel, but it's not perfect, a little unfinished, so I've been ashamed to show it to the public."

"My son-in-law, please wait for a moment, I'll be right back!"

Xie Shang's eyes lit up when he heard this, before he had time to sit down, he hurried out of the Nuan Pavilion, and after a while, he came back out of breath, with a pen and paper in his hand, and asked someone to sit beside Shen Zhezi's table. After going to the desk, he spread out the scroll and looked up at Shen Zhezi, saying, "Listen to the son-in-law's recitation."

Shen Zhezi was delighted to see this, his calligraphy can only be seen now, but Xie Shang's doing this has prevented him from showing his ugliness again.Dang even didn't refuse anymore, so he began to recite slowly at the table. As for the content of the recitation, it was naturally Xie Lingyun's "Mountain Dwelling Ode".

"Mountain Dwelling Fu" can be said to be the pinnacle of the landscape travel notes of later generations. As the representative work of Xie Lingyun, who shared the talents of the world with Cao Zhi, there is no need to say much about his literary talent.The reason why it is not as good as his poems have been sung for a long time is because the text is too long and there are too many rare words for later generations.

Although Shen Zhezi has read "Shanju Fu", it is impossible to retell it verbatim, but he can remember the famous sentence "Zhuyuanpu is green, and the stone shines on the stream to reflect red" in it. live.Even if there are occasional memory loss, it is not in vain that he travels back these years, and it is easy to supplement the accumulation of past lives and present lives.

After reciting a prose, Shen Zhezi could remember less than one-third of the original text, but most of them were famous lines with a sense of imagery, otherwise he would not be able to remember them.As for the rest of the content, they are all cohesively pieced together. Even if the level is uneven, with the support of those famous sentences, the style of the whole prose becomes extremely high.

When Shen Zhezi finished reciting, Xie Shang also finished transcribing.Shen Zhezi took a closer look, and found that the calligraphy is not bad either. Each handwriting is full of spirit and charm, unlike the ones written by himself, which are only neat and crafty.

After finishing writing, Xie Shang carefully dried the ink, and then picked it up again and recited in a low voice: "The soup is shocking, the torrential waves are surging. The lightning strikes and the thunder collapses, and the flying stream is rippling. The Cen rises from the cliff, and flows across the middle." Lian Bo... the son-in-law's eloquence is amazing, the words are precise, and the reading is immersive, and I wish I could fly there to see the scenery!"

Xie Po also got up from the table, leaned over to look at the scroll in Xie Shang's hand, and slowly recited the exquisite words in it, also couldn't help admiring again and again.

Although he was praised by the two of them, Shen Zhezi was not very happy, because they read the original sentences for a long time, and as for the ones they made up, they didn't read a single sentence, which is really unreasonable!
"It's just a feeling from a leisurely stroll, but right now I can't see it with my own eyes. At this moment, the play has no interest in further polishing. If it is not mentioned here, I dare not show it to others."

"Such a beautiful chapter makes people remember King Chen Si. The son-in-law is ashamed to show it to the public, so how dare others dare to write again!"

Xie Shang held that copy of Fu in his hand, his face was already full of admiration, he was very interested, elegant and good at writing, the old piece of "Fu on the Jade Board" that Xie Yi mentioned earlier, although he was indeed I like it, but after tasting it for a long time, I always feel that it is too piled up. It can only be said to be acceptable, not a first-rate masterpiece.

But today's "Shi Ning Fu", although there are some deficiencies in the connection and transition, but the flaws do not cover up the virtues.Thousands of words are eloquent, and the beauty of the mountains and rivers is full of vitality. When you close your eyes and chant, you will feel like you are on the scene.

"If the beauty of the mountains and rivers mentioned in this poem by the son-in-law exists in the world, my father will definitely take a stick and travel happily, and forget to return!"

Speaking of this, Xie Shang's face showed some sadness, and then he looked at Shen Zhezi and said: "I have something to ask the son-in-law, and I want to enshrine it in front of my father's tomb. If Quan Xia knows, he should be able to get it." comfort."

This is just a trivial matter, and Shen Zhezi agreed casually. After all, this was originally done by the descendants of the Xie family. What can be said is only one-sided. If Brother Renzu has the heart, you might as well move the spirit of Taichang to Shining. The elegant bones are buried in the green mountains, and the heroic spirits are bathed in green water. The dead will be safe and the living will be comforted."

As soon as he said this, the faces of the Xie family members changed, and the youngest Xie Zheng waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, you can't move lightly! Besides, Shi Ningyuan is in Kuaiji, and the four seasons festival It’s not convenient to say hello!”

After Xie Kun died, he was buried in Shizigang, located in Dunan, which is actually a mass grave.Shen Zhezi was recently in the south of the capital for disaster relief, and he also knew something about it. After hearing the words, he sighed and said: "The world is turbulent, and the dead can't be at peace. I also passed by Shizigang recently. There are many bones scattered in it. It's not a place for tombs." .”

"As for what Saburo said about the inconvenient worship, it's actually not a big deal. Although the mountains and rivers of Shining have the beauty of circles, they are not enough to be reclaimed. If you are not afraid of the pain of reclaiming, it is a good place to grow your family business."

After going around in circles like this, Shen Zhezi was trying to lure Xie's family to Shi Ning's house.After being recommended by his family, and then moving to be neighbors with his family, this can't be cleaned up no matter how hard it is.

Hearing Shen Zhezi's proposal, Xie Po was already deep in thought.It is not easy to settle down and buy property on both sides of the river, but going to Kuaiji, the heart of Jiangdong, has always been a market among overseas Chinese.

However, because the Shen family runs the Jiji so seamlessly, so far few overseas Chinese families have been able to gain a foothold there.Even the Wang clan of Langya, whose fiefdom was in Kuaiji, did not dare to focus on Kuaiji.

Shen Zhezi's proposal moved Xie Po's heart.If his family can gain a foothold, even if his political prospects are not good in the future, he can still leave a family business that can be passed down from generation to generation!

　It's not easy to divide the chapters, so I sent them together. It's a bit late, so I'm sorry. . .It's just a copy of the text, and it's still showing off in front of the original author's ancestors, which is very bad. . .
