Although he had been stared at too much, Shen Rui's gaze was too hot. Wang Shouren was amused in his heart and turned his head to look at Shen Rui.
He didn't feel bad about being looked at like this. After all, Shen Rui was still here at his age. Even if he looked at him a few more times, he wouldn't have any lustful thoughts. However, this child's eyes were bright and his admiration was too much. It's so obvious that one can't help but feel elated. Could it be that his talent and reputation have spread to Songjiang?
Wang Shouren touched his chin and couldn't help but glance at Shen Li. He was not narcissistic, so he thought it was Shen Li who had praised him so much before that made this young boy behave like this.
This feeling is not bad. Although Wang Shouren had enlightened his younger brother Shouwen, but he was stumbling at that time, and there were elders watching, and his younger brother was not able to endure hardships. In addition to giving more advice to his younger brother in homework, he also In other aspects, you cannot enlighten according to your own thoughts. Maybe you can give it a try with the young boy in front of you?
He has a free-spirited nature, and he doesn't care when his interest comes. Even though he is not yet 30 years old, when facing this young boy, he still has a sense of being a teacher.
Shen Rui looked at people with confidence, even though Wang Shouren found out that he had no guilty conscience. But when he saw Wang Shouren smiling, he didn't know why, but he felt a little cold on his back.
Wang Shouren looked at Shen Rui and said with a smile: "Although you follow me to enlightenment, you don't only know three hundred thousand things. Reading scriptures, practicing etiquette, writing, painting, playing the piano, practicing archery, and keeping fit are all indispensable, but you have to suffer a lot. ?Are you afraid?"
Isn’t it just enlightenment?
Shen Rui's eyes lit up. Wang Shouren was not only a philosopher, politician, military strategist, writer, but also an educator. He was the founder of the Confucian school in later generations. Many of them were Wang Shouren's disciples. Although he didn't know exactly when he started teaching disciples, it wasn't this anyway. when.
If he has learned everything Wang Shouren mentioned, is he not treated as a disciple? Although he has just "learned" and the theory of mind theory has just sprouted and is still early to be formed, but what does it matter. I don't have much interest in mind science. , but became very interested in Wang Shouren's mention of these things. Even though he later dabbled in Chinese studies due to family connections, compared with the real ancient Confucianism, what he learned in later generations was just superficial.
Shen Rui said solemnly: "As long as you follow Mr., I won't be afraid!"
He had forgotten all about Zhang Laoan and Shen Juren. As long as he held his eyes tightly and held his thigh tightly, what else did he have to worry about?
Wang Shouren became an official during the Hongzhi period and became prominent in the Zhengde Dynasty, but fell silent until the Jiajing Dynasty. During this period, even though there were ups and downs, there were still some surprises and no dangers.
Wang Shouren couldn't help but laugh when he saw his small chest puffed out and his impressive appearance: "Look, you were raised in fine clothes and fine food. You can follow me, but without a foster mother or maid to serve you, you have to do your own daily life. If you can't take care of yourself, I won't do it." I will take care of you."
Hearing what he said, Shen Rui couldn't help but hesitate. Although he was still thinking about Mama Wang and Liu Ya, since he knew that he was going to live in a monastery, he knew that it was not appropriate for those two people to come to him. But before asking Liu Ya for help, he had I promised to call Liu Ya's younger brother a book boy, how could I break my promise?
Seeing him thinking like a little adult, Wang Shouren couldn't help but find it interesting. He took the soup bowl, took half a mouthful of ginger soup, and waited for Shen Rui's answer with a smile.
When Shen Li saw this, he couldn't help but frown, and then thought of something, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Rui, are you worried about the foster mother and maid in my house? Don't worry, just let them stay in my house, and then let them go after you come out of the service." Come and serve you."
Shen Rui shook his head and said: "With Sixth Brother here, I am not worried at all. It's just that I promised in the past that I would accept Liu Ya's younger brother as a scholar." At this point, he said to Wang Shouren: "Sir, the disciple can do it on his own. I don’t need a foster mother or maid to take care of myself, so can I add a book boy?”
"Book boy?" Wang Shouren raised his eyebrows and said, "If you can listen to my instructions and take care of yourself, what else do you need a book boy for? My dear, my servant is here to serve you, but the book boy is not here to serve you?"
Shen Rui shook his head and said: "The child is only seven years old, who wants him to serve?"
Wang Shouren shook his head and said: "That's even more impossible. If you are a little older, you can stay and be a helper for Wu Xuan. Since you are young, let's forget it."
Are you afraid that the children will make noise? Shen Rui is a little puzzled. Doesn't he look "childish" now? But he is puzzled, so Shen Rui doesn't speak again. Wang Shouren seems gentle, but since he has shaken his head, what should he do? To say more is to be ignorant. Being able to accept one of my own is already a favor to Shen Li, so I can't push it too far.
Therefore, Shen Rui said to Shen Li: "Sixth brother, Brother Liu Ya, can you please send some silver to brother Liu Ya? Let him come to me when there is a chance in the future."
Shen Li nodded and said, "I will make all arrangements. Just rest assured and study with Bo'an."
Thinking about what Wang Shouren said just now, Shen Li looked at Wang Shouren and said, "Does Bo'an have to travel far away?"
Wang Shouren nodded and said: "Chan Master Hong Shan will go north to listen to the Dharma in the ancestral court after the new year, and I want to follow him to experience it."
Shen Li laughed and said: "Bo'an studied Confucianism and Taoism, but he also wants to study Buddhism?"
Wang Shouren raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong? Confucianism, Buddhism, Laoism, and Zhuang are all Tao. If you learn it, you will become your own Tao."
If it were someone else who was "not doing his job properly", Shen Li might have had some words of advice. After all, the year after next, there would be a spring boudoir, and Wang Shouren would be in trouble for the second time.
But this person in front of him, who has long been recognized by everyone as the "number one talent", needs to study hard like other candidates to prepare for the spring boudoir the year after tomorrow.
Shen Li was just a little worried about Shen Rui. No matter how precocious and wise Shen Rui was, he was only nine years old. But he thought that reading thousands of books would be better than traveling thousands of miles. Maybe this was Shen Rui's opportunity to broaden his horizons and dispel the gloom in his heart. Shen Rui Although Shen Li didn't object to Rui's sentence in the estate analysis book, he was frightened when he thought about it.
Shen Rui was beside him, his face not showing, but he was already snickering in his heart.
I originally thought that I would stay in Xilin Temple until the period of mourning was over, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to go out. With Wang Shouren, an all-powerful scholar, traveling around, is this God's compensation for his inexplicable rebirth?
Shen Rui really wished he could go back five hundred years in the future and show off to his great-grandfather and parents. With his great-grandfather's high regard for Wang Shouren, he really wanted to get the chance to go back to the present, not to mention be a student for Wang Shouren, but just be his little boy. My dear boy, the old man is also very happy.

At Songjiang Mansion Office, the prefect's wife took her son's arm and got out of the carriage. Mr. Jiang looked puzzled and hesitated to speak.
The prefect's wife glanced at her son and said, "You don't understand why I want Shen Jin to be identified as the Sun family?"
Third Young Master Jiang nodded and said: "It's okay to share half of the dowry with the Sun family. Rui Ge'er, who is from the province, is young and it's his crime to have a jade. After all, money is an external thing, and it must be used to buy a good reputation. But the title of the eldest son, What are you doing to Shen Jin? This eldest son wants to inherit the family business and pass on the incense."
The prefect's wife did not answer, but asked: "Is it you who lives freely, or your eldest brother?"
"Of course he is his son. The eldest brother is the eldest son!" After saying this, Mr. Jiang was stunned. He nodded for a while and said: "I see, it is an advantage for Shen Jin after all! In the future, Brother Rui will become a talent. If Zhongyong, life may not be easy if you have such an outstanding brother compared to you."
The prefect's wife smiled and said: "If I don't speak up, Shen Jin won't be recorded in your Sun family name? Even if his biological mother corrects him, as long as Rui Ge'er, a legitimate son who is younger than him, is around, his status as a ' legitimate descendant' will be Empty. When it comes time to get married, they will have to be singled out for gossip. At that time, they will still focus on Ji Di. In this case, it is better for me to fulfill him now. Why did Mr. Sun arrange it? Now, doesn't she still feel sorry for her son? She only gave birth to Rui Ge'er, how can she really treat her bastard like her biological son? If that were the case, he would really be a saint, and I wouldn't dare to be friends with him. Is the eldest son so easy to do? If Shen Jin is outstanding, it is a matter of course. If Shen Jin is not good at all, then he is lazy and does not work hard. It is the eldest son's responsibility to support the family and support his parents. Rui Geer has become the second son. , just need to spend your days leisurely."
After hearing this, Third Young Master Jiang suddenly thought and said, "I am just a concubine. Even if I am a good scholar, why should I be afraid of this? Taking a concubine as a wife is not in line with the rules. As long as Shen Ju is talking about having a wife and a wife, The one with the headache might be Zheng’s mother and son.”
The prefect's wife said: "Perhaps Mr. Sun arranged this to prevent this from happening. Now that Shen Jin is standing in front of him, even if the newcomers come in, they will only stare at the beloved concubine and the 'eldest son' who is valued by Shen Ju. , Rui Geer can’t do anything to hinder her for the moment..."
Songjiang clothing and quilts are in the world, and Songjiang cotton is in short supply. Thinking that the two weaving factories under Sun's name, which are making huge profits, have inexplicably become the He family's industry, the third son of Jiang couldn't help sighing: "What a pity those two weaving factories. In order to cover up their family scandal, the Shen family will definitely not come forward to confront the He family, and those two weaving factories will most likely be out of business."
The prefect's wife said: "If you lose money and avoid disaster, even if those two weaving factories are not defrauded and sold, let alone Rui Geer, a child with a yellow mouth, even if you have four houses, you may not be able to save it..."
She did have a good relationship with Mr. Sun, but the relationship between the two was not about congenial temperament, but more about "mutual benefit". Now she has done everything she promised, which can be regarded as fulfilling her promise to Mr. Sun. Although for Mr. Sun's arrangement , she didn't see everything through, but with her understanding of the Sun family, she would definitely have some backup plans. But those things had nothing to do with her, she just had to wait and watch the excitement. That kid Shen Rui had a brother from the No. 1 scholar clan. It's not her turn to worry about protecting her.
She was a thoughtful woman, but it was a pity that Shen Juren couldn't figure it out that a clever woman accompanied a clumsy husband. Thinking of this, she laughed at herself, and she seemed to be no better. If her husband hadn't been as stubborn as a lump of wood, she wouldn't have No need to worry about it, just use your brains to mediate for your husband wherever you go...
