    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    After a small episode, when Shen Mo returned to the capital, it was already the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the capital was already filled with a strong sense of the New Year No matter how many unpleasant things happened this year, for the common people, this year  It must be done with all its strength.

    But the Shen family can't be ostentatious, because Shen Lian's new funeral, this year is also very plain, even the children changed into blue and black clothes to express their condolences to the master.

    On the first day of the new year, just after dawn, there were crowds of students, subordinates, and even unrelated officials, neatly dressed, holding plum blossoms with names and aliases printed in black, and stamped with vermilion seals.  With a red business card, I came to the gate of Shen¡¯s Mansion in Qipan Hutong, hoping to give Shen Shilang New Year¡¯s greetings earlier than other colleagues It turns out that in officialdom, the earlier the New Year greeting is, the more respect you have for your boss.  Sorry to say hello to people.

    However, this year, the situation in the Shen residence is special. All the officials who came to pay New Year's greetings saw a black and white post on the gate, which read, "Careful for the end of the year, and no New Year's greetings."  Immediately stopped laughing knowingly, and asked the porter in a low voice, who is going there.

    The concierge in plain clothes explained the situation, and most of the New Year callers sent greeting cards, asking the concierge to express their condolences, and then turned and left.  Officials with average and normal relations will go to other houses to continue New Year greetings, but there are also those who have a teacher-student relationship with Shen Mo, or want to have a closer relationship, go home and change into plain clothes, come to the mansion again, and ask the sect to report back.  Waiting to worship the priest.

    Silence came out and declined repeatedly, but due to the sincerity of the students and subordinates, they had no choice but to order people to move out of the desk case, invite out the teacher's tablet, and place offerings such as incense burners, wax skewers, honey offerings, and fresh fruits.

    The students kowtowed in line in front of the case, silently thanking them, and then some descendants of the direct descendants came forward to help the teacher manage and pick up the guests. At noon, there were no more guests who came to worship.  Silently, he invited the students who helped him to have a vegetarian feast in the flower hall.

    Sitting on his left and right sides were his two great disciples, Wang Xijue and Shen Shixing In the second half of last year, Xu Shixing returned to his hometown to visit his relatives, and formally proposed to the Xu family to change his surname back to Shen.  This was actually a big blow to the Xu family, because after Xu Shixing won the first prize the year before last, they beat gongs and drums, celebrated wildly, and even erected a grand archway in the neighborhood.  Who in Suzhou City doesn't know that the Xu family has a champion?  Even as long as the surname is Xu, when introducing myself, it is unavoidable to say that I am the family of Zhuangyuanlang.

    But Xu Shixing said now, I won't take your surname anymore.  The Xu family lost face immediately¡ªthey were already listed in the genealogy, and how could they become outsiders?  Shall we tear up the family tree and rewrite it?  The Xu family is also the surname of Suzhou Mansion, how can they afford to lose this person?  The old people in the clan made up their minds that even if they broke up with Zhuang Yuanlang, they would not allow him to change his surname Their original intention was to use a tough attitude to make Xu Shixing retreat and accept the fate of being surnamed Xu for the rest of his life.

    But Xu Shixing is a very capable person, and he does not have a direct conflict with the Xu family.  He is a hard-core team member of Silence, and seeing his benefactor's favorite student being bullied, is that okay?  At that time, the magistrate of Changzhou County said that he wanted to show the Xu family a little bit of color and know who the family in Suzhou Mansion is.

    But the young Xu Shixing didn't get angry, and he didn't feel overwhelmed. He declined the magistrate's kindness and said: "The Xu family treats the students well, how can they be suppressed by force? Please come back, my lords, and Zhang Yueyu  , it¡¯s hard to understand.¡±

    Since the subject said so, the officials would not think that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry, so they stopped mentioning this matter. Who would have thought that when Zhuangyuan Lang returned to Beijing after his vacation, the Xu family would come forward and let him go to the Shen family to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan.  , He also publicly stated that he would never forget the kindness of the Xu family, and recognized the history of his surname Xu, so everyone was happy, and it was a good talk for a while.

    Later, the officials found out that Xu Shixing oh no, now it is called Shen Shixing, and it's not that he didn't do anything. When he got home, he carefully wrote an article, adopting his grandfather to his uncle's family for three generations.  The history of people receiving the favor of the Xu family is described in beautiful words, and sincerely expresses their gratitude to the Xu family for their upbringing.  , absolutely inseparable from the precepts and deeds of Xu's elders, which greatly put a layer of gold on the Xu family's face.

    Zhuangyuanlang's article was naturally very popular, and it was quickly spread in Suzhou City, and the Xu family's reputation also skyrocketed with this article; in addition, Shen Shixing spared no effort to express his gratitude to the Xu family for their upbringing on various occasions.  Many people also looked at Zhuangyuanlang's face and echoed it. The Xu family seemed to have become a family of great kindness in Suzhou City, and it also made the parents feel happy.Ci refused, and Shen Mo arranged for him to go to the Imperial College to teach.  Of course, silence is not so dictatorial. If you don't agree, you can continue to study history at the Imperial Academy, and the teacher will not be unhappy.

    For Wang Xijue to study history with such a temperament, it would be better to go home and farm directly. In comparison, he obediently accepted the fate of going to the Imperial College and accepting the leadership of Xu Wei; Shen Shixing was also a little depressed, the two brothers were like a pair being bullied  Sitting there with a sullen expression, like a sick child.

    Silence didn't care about the mood of the two of them, and said to the students earnestly: "The good news is that when you entered the political arena, the strict party entrenched in the court has become a story. The virtuous are not allowed to enter, and the loyal are deposed;  The era of flattery and bribery in high positions has passed¡ªfor a foreseeable period of time, the imperial court will maintain political clarity, which is a good time for talented and diligent politicians to stand out."

    The silent words really lifted the students' spirits, but he changed the subject and said, "However, this will not reduce the danger of your official career. If you get involved in factional struggles, you will still fail to fulfill your ambitions and go home early to retire."  .¡± The students chuckled for a while, unable to understand the painstaking efforts of the teacher¡¯s words.

    Silence sighed softly, and said with emphasis: "Today we are talking behind closed doors. I have exhausted all my energy to prevent you from becoming science and moral officials. It is not to prevent you from speaking out, but I just hope that you understand that in the face of big right and wrong, you must be brave.  Express your attitude; but in some unnecessary emotional disputes, factional disputes or even power disputes, you must not get involved, and become others' pawns and scapegoats." These words are very straightforward, enough to make  A student with a quick mind can hear the warning in it.

    As for those who are still a little ignorant, Silence will not explain again. For these people, political struggle is too dangerous, and it is more appropriate to be an official honestly and do things according to their duties.  So Mo Mo finally said: "In a word, work hard and stay out of your own business!"

    The students bid farewell and left with different faces. In fact, none of them really understood what Silence said. Even Wang and Shen, who were the most intelligent, felt that what the teacher said was right.  Knowing that what Mo Mo said was a great war that hadn't even begun to emerge.

    But don't blame them, after all, if you don't stand at the height of silence, you won't feel the undercurrent of the high-level.

    What they can really feel is what they can hear and see, such as the problems of the clan, such as the problems of the south.

    Looking at the backs of these new and young officials who left, Mo Mo knew that they would not take their words too seriously, and must have turned around to drink and have fun again Is there any worry that can't be discussed after the New Year?

    Mo Mo was not angry, but envied them secretly, because in his position, he couldn't let go of his heartstrings for a moment¡ª¡ª
