Chapter 1244 Don't take my son into the ditch
The next day, Shen Shixing delivered the money to Zhu Yiliu, and it was delivered in person.
Fifty thousand is really not a problem for a family like Shen Shixing. Otherwise, Zhu Yiliu would not have listed his name as the first place on the list.
"Mr. Shen, thank you for supporting my work!"
"Your Majesty, this is what I should do."
"The house will not be handed over until April next year. Logically speaking, you can only collect a part of your deposit at this time and pay the remaining amount for you after the house is given. But since you have sent it all, I have to accept it reluctantly."
"Your Majesty, the same, the same." Shen Shixing replied respectfully, "I will give the money sooner or later, and Your Majesty will not give me a house."
"That's true, is the son satisfied with the position of the doctor in the job?"
"Of course I am satisfied. I will jump directly from the government to the doctor of the position. How can I be dissatisfied?" Shen Shixing replied without thinking, "Besides, Your Majesty has made it clear. To clarify the boundaries of the four sides of the Ming Dynasty, this position is particularly important, I am afraid that Maoer will not do it well."
"Young people just go out to exercise more, and no one is born to do things."
"Your Majesty makes sense."
"Mr. Shin also has a son named Shin Yongjia, right?"
"Yes, your Majesty."
“How much does this year?”
"It's twenty-one."
"Oh, how about your studies?"
"Hey!" Shen Shixing shook his head and sighed, "When he talked about this minister, he felt like a crack in his head."
"What's wrong?"
"I am a naughty man, and I am not motivated in my studies. I am in my twenties and am still a scholar. My grades in the provincial examination are so messy that people in the exam say that he is the light of the father of Chen, and I don't know where to put my face."
"Reading is not the only way out in life. Some people are not easy to read by nature, so there is no need to force it."
"The key is that other things are not OK!"
“What about it?”
"I am already in my early twenties and have not yet been married. Every time I mention it, I always say I know it, but when I encounter blind dates or proposals, I always hide. I am so worried."
"That means the son is still single, right?"
"No? People are as old as him, they have several children. He is so careless all day long." Speaking of the child Shen Yongjia, Shen Shixing was full of resentment.
"Have Mr. Shen communicated with the son and asked him what he liked?" Zhu Yili asked patiently.
"I can't understand it to him. When he asked, he said that he only likes freedom, and he can make people angry to death. But he has grown up so old, and it's not that the child can beat him up. What can I do?" Shen Shixing said with a grudge.
"Let him come to see me." Zhu Yili ordered.
After all, there are flaws in educating people in this era. It seems that only knowing how to read is the only right way, just as people in later generations seem to only knowing how to make money is the right way.
"If Your Majesty can help educate me, this incompetent son, and make him turn back, I will be very grateful!" Shen Shixing said with anticipation.
"Mr. Shen, let's not talk about educating men. I have to say a few words about this. First, Mr. Shen should not have too high expectations for his children, so that he will not suffer."
Shen Shixing nodded slightly, but thought, do you have high expectations? It’s okay if you don’t study hard and get married!
"Secondly, what kind of life children choose is their freedom. As long as they don't do things that are harmful to nature, whether to get married or not is their freedom. Even if they don't get married in this life, their parents have no right to intervene."
"..." Shen Shixing looked surprised and dissatisfied. If it weren't for the person sitting opposite him, he would have wanted to jump up and refute.
"What? Mr. Shen disagreed?" Zhu Yi's appearance and color were of course seen.
"Your Majesty, but the ancients said that there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and it is great if there is no descendant. If a son never gets married in his entire life, it will be a bit difficult for me to accept."
"Mr. Shen's concept is too traditional and narrow." Zhu Yili smiled, paused for a moment, and then said, "Shen Shixing is very knowledgeable, so he should not think that "no descendants are the greatest" means "no descendants" in "no descendants" means "no descendants"? Isn't it meant that "no responsibility is not fulfilled?"
"Oh forget it," saw Shen Shixing's confused and surprised look, Zhu Yili waved his hand, "I don't want to talk to you anymore. In short, what kind of life the son chooses is his freedom."
After all, people from different worlds! Hundreds of years later, many people don’t understand this principle, let alone the Ming Dynasty when filial piety is the first?
"..." Shen Shixing was extremely speechless and thought to himself, you can't be so domineering even if you are an emperor, and it sounds shocking and even a little unreasonable: It is their freedom to say that your son will never get married in his life, and his parents have no right to interfere... What is the reason for this?
"Let the son come to my place as soon as possible." Zhu Yiliu instructed again.
"I obey the order." However, this time, Shen Shixing was not as happy as before and had some thoughts, but he was uneasy inside. Your Majesty, don't take your son into the ditch, and you still hope that your son will repent soon. If he had known this, he would not scold his son in front of His Majesty. It was really heartbreaking.
"Mr. Shen thinks how is Wang Heng and Zhang Jingxiu's life right now?" Seeing Shen Shixing's worried expression, Zhu Yili couldn't help asking again.
"I think it's very good." Shen Shixing replied.
"That's right, they don't like scientific research, but they can still make a name for themselves? As the saying goes, the top scorer will be produced in the thirty-six industries. For example, Zhang Jing felt a pity when he first retired from the Sili Supervisor and the Admiral of the East Factory. But now? On the contrary, more and more people like him, and his own mood has become much more open."
Shen Shixing nodded thoughtfully.
Zhu Yiliu then said: "As long as people find what they like to do, it doesn't matter what they do. Reading more is certainly a good thing, but the purpose of reading is nothing more than two: one is for the country and the people, and the other is to cultivate one's own character. It can be used for the country and the people. There are more ways to cultivate one's own character. Just like politics is not the only way to serve the country. As long as you don't do bad things that harm the world, you can do anything."
"Thank you for your teaching!"
"Mr. Shen is well-educated, how can I teach you? I'm saying so much, I just hope that Mr. Shen will not be bound by those rules and regulations, breaking the stereotyped prejudices in everyone's heart, which is the so-called obstacle to knowledge and insight. In this way, the mind and vision will be further improved, as if sitting on the clouds, it feels very pleasant."
"I still have to practice and learn from Your Majesty." Shen Shixing replied humbly.
Your Majesty is right, but he is indulged in his son's life without getting married, and even said it is reasonable. This is their freedom... I cannot agree no matter what, so don't bring my son into the ditch.
So after Shen Shixing withdrew from the Donghunting Pavilion, his heart still couldn't calm down for a long time.
As soon as he returned to the cabinet, he was surrounded by two cabinet ministers, Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping.
Wang Xijue asked: "Yuanfu, has Your Majesty sent Eunuch Chen to say that you would buy a house in No. 1 of the Capital?"
Shin Shixing replied: "I have bought it, and the money has been delivered to His Majesty."
Wang Xijue: "..."
Wang Jiaping: “…”
The two looked at each other.
"But Yuanfu doesn't think the houses there are expensive?" Wang Jiaping asked with a smacking mouth.
"Whether it is expensive depends on your needs." Shen Shixing replied, "Don't the two cabinet masters want to take action?"
"I just bought a loan from His Majesty, but I can't get the money out right now." Wang Jiaping replied, "But I promised to book the next period, that is, to buy a house in Capital No. 2, which is impossible to afford this period."
"What about you?" Shen Shixing turned around and asked Wang Xijue.
"I promised to buy it." Wang Xijue replied, "But the house price is indeed a bit high, I haven't given the money yet."
"Since you agree, you will give it to me sooner or later."
"That's right. Eunuch Chen said that you can pay the deposit first and wait until the house is obtained before giving it to you." Wang Xijue smiled and said, "My family is not as good as Yuan Fu. Suddenly, I have to get 150,000 yuan at once, which is still very stressful."
"Can't you borrow from His Majesty?"
"After all, I have to pay back the loan. Not only does it have interest, but I always think about something. My heart is not as open to Brother Nan!" Wang Xijue said with a smile.
To the south is the font size of Wangjiaping.
Wang Jiaping felt a little proud. Fortunately, he just borrowed money to buy one elsewhere, otherwise he would have to agree to buy it at No. 1, Capital City. Not to mention the house there, it is much smaller, which is not cost-effective.
At this time, Shen Shixing didn't take the house matter seriously at all, and even forgot the complaints of his eldest son Shen Yongmao. Compared to his younger son's bad things, he felt that those were not worth mentioning.
My son is in his early twenties and has not married a wife and has started a family. Your Majesty wants to summon his son, but Your Majesty says that even if his son never gets married for the rest of his life, parents will not have the right to ask about it. How can this make people feel at ease?
Your Majesty is rebellious!
Why don’t you let your son go back to his hometown quickly, and don’t take him into the ditch.
