Chapter 443 Testing
After Wang Xuan left, Shao Xun continued to grow vegetables, one kind for a month.
The news has slowly leaked out.
This kind of thing that benefits military men cannot be hidden at all. Too many military men are rushing to spread it.
Examine filial piety and incorruptibility, promote talented people, nothing will happen to them.
They couldn't get into Guozixue or Taixue either.
The election of the imperial court, the recruitment of important ministers, etc. are so far away from them that they seem to be in another world.
Tell me how to become an official?
Now Mr. Chen says yes, if you can become an official, I will help you do it.
If you don't send Mr. Chen to the Tai Chi Hall, what are you waiting for?
However, the first person to be found was the famous "virgin scholar" Yu Gun.
There was no official figure, and no serious member of the gentry.
Yes, Yu Gun was a reclusive man. In theory, he had no interest in worldly affairs and had no interest in anyone, but he happened to be a member of the Yu clan.
When he came to visit, Shao Xun immediately understood. This is politics, and there must be room for it.
"Uncle Shubao has been living in seclusion since he returned from Linlu Mountain and rarely interacts with people. Why did he come to visit?" Yu Wenjun, who was sewing the second purple robe, was a little surprised.
Shao Xun secretly thought that Yu Gen lived in seclusion, but his son did not live in seclusion, and even became an official.
Is there anyone in this world who can really transcend the world and cut off all family ties, friendships and love? Very few.
Yu Wenjun is already putting on makeup.
Shao Xun's heart moved, he gathered his emotions, walked behind his wife, and helped her draw her eyebrows.
Well, actually there is no need to think about it, Yu Wenjun is indeed one of his favorite women.
Mrs. Yin was waiting on the side, her thoughtful eyes met Shao Xun's, and then she hurriedly looked away.
Such a sensitive and delicate mind!
Shao Xun was a little surprised. She was really a girl with a good inner skills. It seemed as if all her little thoughts could not escape her deer-like vigilance.
After the couple smiled and put away their makeup, Shao Xun took his wife's hand and went out with an extremely gentle look on his face.
Before leaving, he glanced at Ms. Yin with a half-smile.
Yin lowered her head and followed silently.
"When Mr. Yu comes here, he really shines." A hearty laugh came: "Tea."
"Uncle." Yu Wenjun's voice also came over.
"Uncle." Xiao Yu also stepped forward and bowed, and then went to get the tea set. Guanqiu went to help.
Yinshi and Xunshi went to serve snacks.
As concubines, theoretically speaking, the status of the four of them is actually higher than that of the two princesses in the mansion. They can even accompany Yu Wenjun to various gatherings and activities, which is between the official wives and the concubines.
But if there are relatively close guests coming over, they will not use the help of maids, but will personally come to entertain them.
The relationship between them and their wives is actually a close relationship like sisters and master and servant.
Under the warm spring sun, the three of them were sitting under the tree, with the warm breeze blowing, which was a different feeling.
Yu Gun just scanned the courtyard.
There are not many flowers and plants, and it is not interesting enough. The only flowers and trees seem to have been transplanted, perhaps by Yu Wenjun.
In the courtyard there is an archery target, an equipment rack and a stone lion used for strength training.
Various weapons were hung on the equipment rack, each with traces of long-term use, which made the image of Shao Xun in his mind more vivid: he was truly a soldier who loved martial arts.
"Mr. Chen is a true warrior." Yu Gen looked away and said with unclear meaning.
"My family has been a soldier for generations, so aren't we just warriors?" Shao Xun said with a smile.
"Is it possible for a warrior to manage a country and benefit its people?" Yu Gun asked.
"To defeat the enemy, you must have soldiers." Shao Xun replied.
"Soldiers are an ominous weapon." Yu Gun added: "Zhang Fang killed and wounded recklessly, burned houses, plundered assets, and developed tombs. Everyone was disgusted by him. He was also unruly and unruly, forcing his superiors to do so, which is disobedient.
Heart, this is Tai'a's inverse support, why don't you warn me?"
"When the Xiongnu invaded, the entire army marched to the river, pressed down on the enemy stronghold, destroyed it with all their strength in battle, and won the attack bravely. Even though they died hundreds of times, they never looked back. Why is there any doubt?" Shao Xun replied.
The two of them asked and answered questions and had already said several words.
Yu Wenjun was a little restless and looked at her husband subconsciously.
Shao Xun patted her hand to express comfort.
Yu Wenjun calmed down.
Yu Gun noticed their little movements and didn't say anything, just sighed.
Mr. Chen's attitude is very obvious. He is on the side of the warriors and will not change his mind.
In fact, Yu Gun faced Wang Mi and Shi Le directly in Linlu Mountain, and even fought with Wang Sang and Liu Ling's men. He understood the importance of warriors better than other scholars.
If he hadn't been asked to do so by his clan, he really wouldn't want to come to inquire about her.
Some people are really unfounded and worried that Chen Gong will become Gou Xi or Zhang Fang, and the relationship with the gentry will be very tense.
But as far as Yu Gon understood, this was simply nonsense.
If Mr. Chen were not a warrior and entered the court to engage in intrigues with them, he would be no different.
He, Gou Xi, and Zhang Fang are not the same people, and their methods are too high.
Mrs. Yin brought over exquisite snacks and placed them on the table.
Yu Gen thanked him softly but did not take any of it, as if he had long been accustomed to simple meals.
Mrs. Yin stood behind Yu Wenjun and kissed her quietly.
Yu Wenjun was a little surprised, and immediately smiled and said: "Uncle, let's have a piece of persimmon cake. My husband made it before winter last year. He knew that I like to eat it, so he made more."
Yu Gen raised his eyebrows and glanced at his niece.
Shao Xun secretly praised Wenjun for his enlightenment and said with a smile: "I really love Wenjun so much that I want to give her everything good."
Yu Gon shook his head and laughed.
He is indeed a soldier! He speaks directly and without any tact.
Even if scholars love their wives, concubines, and children, they rarely show it in words. Isn't it shameful to coax women?
But——Mr. Chen’s words mean something.
So he tried to make a sentence: "Since you are so loving, you should have many children. You can't have such a big family fortune without having any heirs."
Shao Xun understood, took his wife's hand, and said in a self-deprecating tone: "From birth to death, lying across the place where the corpse is erected, the future will be for their mother and son."
Yu Wenjun was a little shy. He didn’t have a son or a daughter, so he still talked about “mother and son”...
Yu Gun's eyes narrowed after hearing this, and then he smiled and nodded.
If Chen Gong did not waver and let Wenjun's niece's children inherit the inheritance, then some things would not be incomprehensible.
Compared with the indescribable wealth, everything else is just a cloud. Even the Yingchuan and Runan nobles can more or less benefit from it.
However, Mr. Chen’s methods are also remarkable.
Has he been prepared for this a long time ago? He throws out the bait so that you can't help but swallow it, and in the end you can only follow him.
Wenjun's niece is only seventeen years old, which is so far behind her husband.
But maybe it's not a bad thing. Chen Gong is already shrewd enough, and he may not like his wife to be shrewd. That would be too tiring. Yu Gong, who has been married to the Xun family and Le family's two shrewd wives, is a little emotional.
"I will take back what I said today exactly." Yu Gen picked up a piece of persimmon cake, ate it slowly, and said, "Mr. Chen is a man who honors his word, so there is nothing to worry about."
Speaking of this, Yu Gun added: "After Ji County was occupied by Shi Le, some people ran south from Linli Mountain. They were all loyal people who had been fighting with the thieves for many years. If Chen Gong doesn't dislike it, he might as well accept him as a soldier and give them a
The way out has solved my worries."
"It's hard to say no to Mr. Yu's invitation," Shao Xun laughed.
The two then changed the subject and chatted about old events in Ji County.
It's strange to say that such an important matter just ended in a few sentences. The conversation was about irrelevant things that happened in Ji County, but the conversation continued until the sun turned west.
Yu Wenjun was accompanying him.
During the whole process, most of her eyes fell on Shao Xun.
Shao Xun sometimes glanced back, and the two looked at each other, seemingly overflowing with deep affection.
Yu Gun looked at it and nodded secretly, trusting Shao Xun's promise a little more.
The love for his wife cannot be faked. Lao Yu is also a man who has experienced two wives. How can he not know whether it is true or false?
Mr. Chen is a martial man, he likes to be straightforward, and he should not be prone to those false feelings.
After it became completely dark, Shao Xun held a banquet in his mansion to entertain Yu Gun and his entourage.
Yu Gun was not polite either. He talked and laughed with Yan Yan during the dinner and stayed one night in Shao Mansion before leaving the next day.
After sending Yu Gun away, Shao Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew very well who Yu Gun represented.
As long as those people behind him endure this time and don't make a fuss, Yuzhou will not be able to overturn the situation.
And if you compromise this time, you will be more willing to compromise next time. After all, there is a precedent - making exceptions is the hardest thing.
Hey, the tactic of boiling the frog in warm water can be implemented gradually.
The process will definitely not be smooth sailing, and there will definitely be repetitions, but as long as you start implementing it, the results will slowly appear.
The road is tortuous, but the future is bright and very good.
But - what's going on with Mr. Wang's wall lamp? It's been a month and there's still no explanation?
Shao Xun secretly guessed that they were observing the attitude of the nobles in Henan and Yanzhou. If these local snakes accepted it, they would have no motivation to stop it? It is very possible.
Damn, they are all a bunch of cunning and cunning guys. But just because of their cunning, they can't achieve anything big.
Shao Xun smiled proudly, took his little wife's hand and went home.
In fact, he is very satisfied with his wife.
Between her mother's family and her husband, the silly Wenjun leaned overwhelmingly towards her husband, and her whole heart was devoted to him.
This made him feel heavy pressure.
After marrying a wife, I felt like home.
Yu Wenjun also used her tight, tender, and warm body to give his children and grandchildren a home every day.
Next, I will spend time with my wife at home and design the official system of the army.
After there was news from the imperial court, the soldiers were gathered together, practiced for a while, and announced the good news in public.
Prestige is how it gradually increases.
The power of a strong man lies in rallying the masses.
Shao Xun has always believed that this is the real "supreme art of war", which is upright, endless, and overpowering all evil spirits. It is much better than conspiracy, conspiracy, and so on.
Not long after this meeting, in mid-March, the so-called "debate" in the court gradually subsided.
There are some things that they cannot stop, and they are not even as strong as the Yuyan nobles who can resist.
This matter has both advantages and disadvantages. Since Shao Xun insists on going his own way regardless of his reputation, let him go. It depends on whether the local nobles will support you when you fight elsewhere in the future.
