Thousand-year-old family: its rise began with Shang Yang’s reforms

Chapter 102 Chen Shen teaches his son [[-]st update, please read and collect]

Chen Zhao's muttering did not attract the attention of the gentleman in front of him. He was just immersed in his own world.

Looking at this gentleman, Chen Zhao curled his lips, with a look of pain on his face.

"Ah, how long will I have to be tortured by a gentleman like this?"

He scratched his head, and when the gentleman in front of him wasn't paying attention, he secretly opened a book underneath and read it quietly.

The gentleman in front of him was still teaching "The Analects of Confucius" and was immersed in his own world. What Chen Zhao secretly read were the books his father had collected and which he begged his mother to secretly bring for him.

It is said that this is a book written by his great father and cannot be seen by ordinary people.

Even his father only obtained it from his eldest father when he was a teenager.

Both one person and one person were immersed in their own worlds, feeling what was recorded in the books.

outside the house.

Chen Shen and Chen Ye stood there, watching this scene quietly, with a kind smile on Chen Ye's lips.

"This kid."

Chen Shen mumbled a little and said, "This is also strange. Every time I assess him, he can recite all the contents completely and have his own unique insights."

He was a little embarrassed: "I thought he was listening carefully to the teacher's explanation during class, but I didn't expect it."

Chen Ye didn't care, he walked towards the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

It was winter now, and it had just snowed heavily last night. Dots of white snow fell on the roads and branches. After a night of overturning, the snow had already covered the entire ground, accumulating a deep layer.

"The purpose of education is not to make Zhaoer sleepy in this small room, but to enable Zhaoer to understand the principles of the world and lay a solid foundation."

"It's not that you didn't have the conditions you have now, but I still let you learn on your own."

"Now, you are educating your child and want him to lay a foundation for understanding the content of Baijia under the guidance of Baijia teacher. This is your love for your child, so I will not interfere with your decision."

"Yes, Shen'er."

Chen Ye sighed: "You are too busy and you have neglected Zhao'er's talent."

"It also overlooked another point."

At this time, Chen Ye looked very serious: "This is a habit you gradually developed after you became a Sikou and entered the court."

"It's a bad habit."

"My father called you here today to correct your habits."

He looked at Chen Shen and said softly: "Did you discover this bad habit of yours from Zhao'er's incident?"

Chen Shen gradually fell into deep thought after listening to Chen Ye's words.

A bad habit?

But he should have found out from what happened to Chen Zhao? Does this mean that when educating Zhaoer, he also made this mistake subconsciously?
  He began to peel off the cocoon, thinking little by little about what he had done wrong.

Chen Ye stood in the yard next to his son, looking at his middle-aged son.

In this life, is there ever a time when you don’t make mistakes?

What's more, what Chen Shen made was not a big mistake.

Even he will make mistakes, such as not knowing what to write before.

But now he knows.

Even though there was already a "textbook" that combined his thoughts and taught the clan leaders, there was still a lack of a "miscellaneous note" that mixed education, clan rules, etc.

This is a miscellaneous book that does not seem to be for the purpose of education. It is not that serious, but it can help children in the clan develop good habits in a subtle way. At this time, the teacher’s teaching in the room came to a halt.

The chanting of the next sentence started.

"Zengzi said: I reflect on myself three times a day. Are you not loyal to others? Are you not trusting your friends? Are you not accustomed to passing on?"

Chen Shen raised his head, moved his somewhat stiff neck, and sighed softly.

He looked at his father in front of him: "Father, I understand."

Chen Shen's voice was apologetic and guilty: "I was in the position of Sikou and I forgot about the principle of "I have to examine myself three times a day."

"I forgot the distinction between family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs."

"I forgot what my father once said in the book that he gave me. I am not just Sikou, not just the direct eldest son of the Chen family, I am Chen Zhao's father and your son."

"I forgot what you once said, "process" and "result". Sometimes you have to focus on the process, and sometimes you can turn a blind eye and just look at the results."

“Enjoy the process and analyze the results.”

Chen Shen stood up straight. In the past ten years, he had changed from the eldest son of the Chen family to a Sikou of the Qin State. He had received countless honors in the name of the Chen family. As a result, he gradually became lost in this world. among the identities.

This is not what a qualified householder should do.

He is a bit "arrogant".

Chen Ye didn't say anything, just smiled and said: "Okay, don't think so much."

"Is there anyone who doesn't make mistakes?"

He turned to look at the two people in the room, chuckled and said, "Well, Your Majesty has the idea to let Zhao'er enter the palace and be a playmate and reading companion with Young Master Ji. What do you think this should be like?"

Unless Chen Shen's seniority and status could not solve many of Chen's matters, he would always let Chen Shen handle them.

After all, Chen Shen is already this age now.

Chen Shen thought for a while and then said: "It is not convenient for my father to come forward in this matter. After all, the relationship between the teacher and the king makes it difficult to refuse."

"And I came forward as a junior to speak to you and proposed that Zhaoer be the companion of many young masters such as "Gongzi Dang" and "Gongzi Ji"?"

Chen Ye nodded slightly, looked at Chen Shen and said, "Okay, just do what you said."

Chen Shen felt relieved.

Every time his father asked him, he regarded it as a "test" for himself.

But Chen Ye didn't say anything. In fact, the best way was to agree to this matter. After all, Chen Ye knew all the paths ahead. It was natural that Ying Ji would become the King of Qin after Ying Wu committed suicide within a few years of being the king.

After that, he dominated the world for decades and became the Great Demon King of the Warring States Period.

But the question is, won’t the trajectory of history change a little bit?

What he wants to do is not to be like a nanny and help Chen with how to eat, but to help Chen learn to "eat" on his own.

Chen will not claim to be king or take sides, and will always remain impartial.

This is Chen's way of establishing himself.

Chen Shen did nothing wrong. This is what Chen Ye wants to see, and probably what Ying Si wants to see too.

Zhangtai Palace
  Ying Si raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at his "nephew" opposite him, and chuckled: "You are such a slippery man."

"Okay, then let Zhao'er be the accompaniment for many young masters."
