Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 95
The person in charge of receiving Shen's father and son was Yu Tan's son, Yu Ge, who was about the same age as Shen Chong. He was originally a Sima of the county government.

For this pair of father and son, Yu Ge had no good feelings for him, and he himself was a clumsy person who was not good at eloquence. After welcoming them into the door, he exchanged some dry greetings, then sat on the mat and looked at the door. The outer courtyard was in a daze.He neither served tea nor talked to Shen Chong, but occasionally glanced at Shen Zhezi, showing undisguised disgust.

In other eras, prestige may be nothing but illusory things, but nowadays, it is real political capital.Last year, Yu Tan's reputation in Wu Xing was greatly affected, which then affected the reputation of the entire Yu family. In the beginning of spring this year, two members of the Yu family were deposed in Kuaiji Township Council.Therefore, the entire Yu family hated Shen Zhezi to the bone.

If it weren't for his family's scriptures being passed down from generation to generation, and his bravery is a bit inferior, I am afraid that the children of the Yu family who have already had their future blocked at this moment could not bear the hatred in their hearts and would fight them out.

Shen Zhezi's expression was exactly the same as that of his father, since he came, he would be at ease, since Yu Tong turned a blind eye to them, then they were free to do so.Sitting on the table, looking left and right, looking at the buildings in Yu's mansion, he either nodded or shook his head, as if he was apprehensive in his heart.Occasionally stroll down the corridor and look up at the Tingchao Tower standing in the Yu Family Manor.

This Tingchao Building is not only a majestic building, it is said that there are also a lot of books in it, and it is said to be the best in the Three Wus.This moved Shen Zhezi very much, wondering if he should take this library as his own?However, such a large collection of books is related to the Yu family's status in the academic world, and trying to grab books is more unbearable than killing them.

But it depends on human effort, how do you know you can’t do it if you haven’t tried it?Why not give it a try.

As he was thinking in his heart, he heard footsteps outside the court, and without hesitation, an old man in linen robes with a hat in his hand entered the court, it was Yu Tan whom he hadn't seen for a long time.Compared with the last time we met, Yu Tan looked more youthful and old, with straw sandals on his feet and a bamboo stick in his hand, he looked like a rural fisherman who was happy with his fate and self-sufficient in food, with the attitude of a leftover in the wild.

But such an interesting and simple attire is unavoidably inconsistent with this manor with thousands of mansions.In Shen Zhezi's view, this Yutan was really hit hard last year, so that after returning home, he could only show his ambition indifferently, and enjoy the joy of fishing and woodcutters.

Seeing Shen Zhezi standing in the corridor, Yu Tan was also slightly taken aback, his mood was so complicated that his reaction was half a beat behind.

He has passed the age of obedience, and he thought that he was not afraid of talking about things, and his thoughts were always clear, but in fact he couldn't do it.Every time I dreamed back at midnight, the aggressive words of the young man echoed in my mind, and my mood became more depressed.On the surface, he has to make unnecessary gestures and communicate with others indifferently, but in his heart he is worried that he will be underestimated, which makes him suffer a lot.

After being stunned for a moment, Yu Tan passed the hat and bamboo stick in his hand to the old servant behind him, looked at Shen Zhezi with a smile and said, "I don't have any tung tree branches in my house, so it's a surprise to have young phoenix hanging around."

Hearing this praise, Shen Zhezi was not happy. The man named Fengchu, Pang Tong of the later Han Dynasty, was not a long-lived person.Could it be that the old guy is insinuating that he is so clever that he wants to die?
But since he is determined to ease the conflict, Shen Zhezi doesn't mind whether Yu Tan sincerely praises or maliciously insinuates.Just a few words and a piece of meat is indispensable, if the other party is really malicious, then I will live a long life, and I will be mad at the old guy!
At this time, Yu Ge and Shen Chong in the room also got up and walked out of the room when they heard the voice.Standing in the court, Shen Chong said to Yu Tan: "I have lived in Kuaiji for more than a year, and I have always been busy with common affairs. Today I have time to pay a visit to the virtuous elder. I hope Duke Yu will forgive me."

"The envoy is serious. I am just an old man in the village, and I am old and rotten. But the envoy is a minister of the country, and I have a heavy responsibility. I really dare not ask the envoy to visit."

Yu Tan and Shen Chong walked into the room side by side, seeing that there was nothing on the case, they guessed that the father and son were treated coldly at home.He rolled his eyes and glanced at his son, feeling displeased in his heart. Since he has already invited someone into the house, he still acts like this, isn't it making people look down on him more and more!
But his son was dull by nature, and Yu Tan knew it well, so it was inconvenient to blame him in front of others.It's just that when I saw Shen Zhezi sitting under Shen Chong's head, I couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.The Shen family is a martial artist, how lucky is he to raise this Lin'er!

When someone from Yutan offered tea soup, Shen Chongcai said again: "Today, I came to visit Duke Yu to apologize. Years ago, my son Meng Lang was reckless, and he disobeyed Duke Yu with his shallow knowledge. I teach my son without methods so that he will not Practicing the righteousness of respect and obedience, relying on self-reliance and quick thinking, and often rebelling against the teachings of the elders, I am really ashamed."

As soon as the words came out of the mouth, Yu Yu who was sitting on the other side suddenly became angry: "The boy is evil, and he is the only one who is against the teaching..."

"shut up!"

Yu Tan slapped the table with his hands, stopped his son, and then looked at Shen Chong again, his expression no longer indifferent: "This old man is a good-natured man, why don't you hear good words and bad words? There may not be all virtuous elders, but a fool occasionally gets something. Your son The teacher came from a famous family, and his talent was so strong that it really made this old man ashamed. In the past years, the fortunes of the country were difficult, and although he was old, he could not be content with the house, and did his best. Now a virtuous person can take charge of the country's plan, and he is handsome. The old man should return home The township, to avoid the virtuous road, looking forward to the prosperous age, why did the envoy say this?"

Yu Tan's words seemed to be optimistic, but in fact they were full of anger. In addition to confessing his feelings, he also insinuated that the country's people are not human. It seems that he has been depressed for a long time, so that he can't vomit.

In the past, I would not leave my old age to support the society and fight against rebellion, but now the sages are retiring and the rebels are in high positions. It is simply unreasonable!I'll just sit at home and watch how chaotic this world is!

After listening to these words, Shen Chong pondered for a while, and then pointed at Shen Zhezi: "The great talents that the Duke of Yu admires, everyone must be close to him, and he must devote himself to being taught and make appointments for feats. Now I have the honor to sit opposite Duke Yu , but see alienation, it is difficult to find a word of advice, it is not your talent, why is this!"

According to the rhythm of the pre-rehearsal, Shen Zhezi raised his chin, as if dissatisfied: "Since it is a bright pearl, it should be hung in the bright hall to illuminate the people of the time. How can the boy just say it in the dark! What does it have to do with me if you waste your talent!"

"presumptuous!"

When Shen Chong heard this disrespectful words, he became even more annoyed. He waved his arm to slap Shen Zhezi, but he still couldn't bear it, so he slid his palm down and swept the teacup on the table several feet away!
"Nizi, how dare you be rampant! If you can't get Yu Gong's forgiveness this time, who will I entrust my hometown to?"

Shen Chong looked angry, and shouted angrily: "Come here! Drag this rebellious son down for me, strip off his clothes and tie up the thorns, and drive him out of the court to the north to apologize!"

Shen Zhezi still argued with reason and refused to bow his head: "Although this old man is old, he can't tolerate others, how can he entrust my elders in my hometown! Although my son is unworthy, I dare not disobey my father. You can bind a thorn, but you can't be guilty. recognize!"

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the room angrily, and was immediately rushed up by his family to take him down.

The father and son of the Yu family were stunned to see the two of them having a good time in the hall of their house.Seeing that Shen Zhezi was being captured, it seemed that it was going to be real, Yu Tan got up quickly and said, "Wait a minute! You may as well speak out if you want to, your son is a natural talent, and I appreciate it, and I have no intention of blaming him!"

To be honest, seeing the Shen family's father and son arguing almost turned against each other, he really felt quite happy in his heart.

But if this young man is really humiliated by being stripped of his clothes and kneeling in front of his house, then the material criticisms against him that have gradually subsided will once again become raucous. hit.After all, Shen Zhezi is not an unknown person, especially as Ji Zhan's only disciple, he is already a rising star appointed by the Wu people.

In addition, what made him even more curious was the content of the dispute between the father and son, which seemed to have something to do with him.

Hearing Yu Tan's statement, Shen Chong signaled his subordinates to let go of his son.Putting on this gesture is not only a good show, but also a test of Yu Tan. If Yu Tan never speaks out to dissuade him, there is no need to talk about the rest. From now on, the situation will be at odds.

Shen Zhezi was able to return to the hall, but he still seemed to be resentful, and sat there without saying a word.

Yu Tan's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Why does the young man of the Shen family resent the old man so much? There may be old gaps in the past, but if you weigh it carefully, the old man can be regarded as helping you to become famous. Old grievances are not mentioned, even if you are old, the old man is also alive." Why don't you treat me politely?"

"Zhu Zi, Yu Gong didn't blame you for the old gap, you can't hold on to yourself, and you still want to spoil my reputation?"

Shen Zhezi couldn't help laughing secretly when he heard his father speak so loudly about his family reputation. Before him, the Shen family still had a family reputation?

But on the surface, he was still a little weak, showing a little stubbornness of a young man who wanted to save face, but he just stood up and bowed deeply to Yu Tan, but refused to speak.

Some embarrassing atmosphere finally eased, at this time, Shen Chong said to Yu Tan with a smile: "I came to Zun's mansion today, and I really have an unfeeling request. My seniority is contemptible, and although Taichung entrusts me with a heavy responsibility, I am really worried. This town has its own sages, Duke Yu can be called the pillar of the country, since I have returned to my hometown, there is no place for me to stand in Kuaiji."

Hearing Shen Chong's weakness, Yu's father and son reacted differently, Yu Tan was still able to hold himself, but Na Yu Tie was already fidgeting in surprise.

Seeing this, Shen Zhezi couldn't help sighing in his heart, the structure of a person's talents has nothing to do with his family background, the Yu family has a mansion full of scriptures, but his children are still not lacking in recklessness, it is possible that this guy thinks that his father will hand over Fang Zhen's position Concession?

"It's important to make your words, choose talents and take charge, Taichung will cut them. I'm just an old man living in the country. I'm a fisherman, I'm self-sufficient, I have nothing to ask for, and I'm just waiting to die." Yu Tan thought a lot, but his expression didn't change, he just responded politely .

"It is an ancient morality to let the virtuous and avoid the position. However, the appointment of the famous and noble is determined by the court, and it is against the law to grant and accept it privately. But if I sit back and watch Duke Yu's talent is in vain and cannot benefit the people of the time, then I will be remiss. It’s a shame to lose morality, what a crime!”

Shen Chong said sincerely: "We have weighed for a long time, and I have something in my heart. I know that Duke Yu is virtuous, and I am willing to be entrusted by the people of Sangzi to appoint Duke Yu as the prefect of Wuxing. I don't know what Duke Yu means?"

Hearing Shen Chong's purpose, Nayu Ge felt a little disappointed. Obviously, in his mind, the hometown of Kuaiji was much more important than Wu Xing.But Yu Tan's body swayed slightly, and the light gradually flashed in his eyes.

He was frustrated with Wu Xing, and he really felt ashamed when he returned to his place.But if you think about it again, the place where Wu Xing was frustrated was not exactly the place where he regained his confidence.

But he is at this age, he is thinking about Zhou Xiang, and he does not make a decision based on Shen Chong's words. He needs to consider the gains and losses before he is willing to give an answer.
