The sadness on Jiang Shuying's face disappeared in an instant. She looked at Duan Wenjun and smiled, then put a new cup of tea for him.
The tenderness in that glance immediately made Duan Wenjun's heart tremble.
Perhaps, without saying too much, we already understand each other's thoughts.
He also looked at Jiang Shuying and smiled slightly.
Qin Siya, who was sitting opposite Jiang Shuying, suddenly couldn't stand it. "I really don't understand you two. He is a grown man who doesn't want to make progress. Sister, you still want to stay in a small place like Wangjiang with him." Besides, Grandpa and I are both here, is it really okay for you two to flirt with each other like this?"
Jiang Shuying suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and Duan Wenjun was also a little embarrassed.
He glanced at the angry Qin Siya, and then shook his head slightly, "I don't think I am not making progress, it's just that everyone has their own different way of living. Some people like to be officials, and some people like to be officials. Some people like to do business, some people like to farm, and some people like to teach. Although Wangjiang is a small place, it can be regarded as a geomantic treasure. Otherwise, why would Mr. Qin choose to establish Sihai College here? "
Qin Siya still wanted to argue, but Qin Feng waved his hand to stop her, then stared at Duan Wenjun and said seriously, "Wenjun, don't you really not want to go to Qiuwei to give it a try? If I recommend it, even if you don't take the provincial examination ,Also can……"
"Wenjun thanks Mr. Qin for his kindness." Seeing Qin Feng's concern, Duan Wenjun stood up and bowed to him. "But Wenjun really feels that studying is not the only way in this world."
"Although studying is not the only way to go, if you want to have a good future, you must study and gain fame." Qin Feng sighed, "Wenjun, I know you are deeply influenced by your father. , It’s just that the things about your father and your mother are just old memories, and we really shouldn’t let them affect the next generation of you.”
"Mr. Qin, what's the past about my father?" Duan Wenjun was stunned.
From what Qin Feng said, his fat father, Duan Daxiong, seemed to be a man with a lot of stories.
Back then, Duan Daxiong met his mother Qiuyun in Shangliang, Kyoto, when he was studying.
Being able to go to Kyoto to study at Shangliang is definitely not an ordinary person.
A few days ago, when Qin Feng held a banquet, Zhang Sanfeng said that he was not as good as Duan Daxiong when it came to poetry.
Even though it is very possible that Zhang Sanfeng is somewhat self-effacing, it at least proves that Duan Daxiong must have some talent.
Moreover, the lady's aunt also said that her mother Qiuyun was once a famous talented woman in Kyoto...
However, in the end, Duan Daxiong took Qiuyun back to Wangjiang and devoted himself to doing business and farming.
Even Qiu Yun has lost contact with Mr. Liang.
Undoubtedly, something must have happened in Shangliang that made Duan Daxiong feel discouraged about studying and gaining fame.
Or maybe they have lost confidence in the officialdom.
It is said that before Duan Daxiong left Shangliang, he played a game of chess with Qin Feng, and for that game he even treated Qin Feng as a panda with eyes...
Duan Wenjun knew that although his fat father was a bit of a fool, he would never beat up Qin Feng because of a game of chess.
That night Qin Feng hosted a banquet, and Zhang Sanfeng deliberately pushed Duan Daxiong into reciting poems. Duan Daxiong was about to get angry.
However, Wang Yuanqing's words of love for his mentor made him endure it in the end, and he was even embarrassed about how to deal with Zhang Sanfeng's pressure to recite poems...
At that time, he recited a poem called "Returning to the Countryside, Green Lake Pavilion". Duan Daxiong also greatly appreciated it. On the way back, he also said that his poem reflected Qin Feng's true feelings.
Duan Wenjun could feel that Qin Feng held a very heavy weight in Duan Wenjun's heart.
Moreover, Duan Wenjun could feel that Duan Daxiong actually understood Qin Feng.
There may be another hidden reason for beating Qin Feng into panda eyes.
Just when he wanted to ask Qin Feng what happened that year, Qin Feng looked surprised and said, "You don't know? Didn't your father tell you before?"
Duan Wenjun shook his head in confusion, "Mr. Qin, did something happen before my father and my mother left Shangliang and returned to Wangjiang?"
Qin Feng was stunned when he heard this.
He always felt that it was Duan Daxiong's idea that Duan Wenjun concealed his clumsiness before.
He always felt that Duan Daxiong asked his son to hide his sharp edge because of what happened back then.
In fact, he always felt that Duan Wenjun was not allowed to attend Qiu Wei because Duan Daxiong was disappointed with what happened back then.
However, he did not expect that Duan Wenjun would actually say that he did not know what happened back then.
Duan Daxiong never mentioned it to him.
This is a little strange.
Qin Feng stared at Duan Wenjun closely. He wanted to see a flaw in his face. After all, he had most likely hidden his clumsiness for more than ten years. It would be normal if he covered it up.
However, when he saw Duan Wenjun's confused and surprised expression, he didn't seem to be faking it.
"Since your father didn't tell you, as outsiders, it's not easy for us to say anything." After a long time, Qin Feng sighed, then picked up the tea cup and took a gentle sip, "Wenjun, you are still young, you have a long way to go. It’s still a long time, study hard and strive for fame..."
"Mr. Qin, actually I think my father is right. I'm not targeting you, but look at it, what's the use of those great Confucian scholars and talented scholars who can recite poems and compose poems?" Duan Wenjun interrupted directly. Quoting Qin Feng’s words, “These poems, essays, and poems are not meant to be eaten or worn, but they have become the most sought-after thing among contemporary literati. Writing poetry is not difficult, but I wrote a few poems, and then what's the function?"
"Who said it's useless?" Qin Siya took over the topic and looked very unconvinced. "Reciting poems and writing rhymes is a kind of spiritual sustenance for scholars and a sublimation of emotions. How can it be used to dress and eat?" To compare? If it weren't for your love poem, how could Sister Shu Ying have committed herself to you?"
Duan Wenjun was stunned when he heard this, but it was hard to refute.
Qin Siya was right. If it weren't for that poem of hers, how could Jiang Shuying reveal her feelings to her?
"Master Duan, the slave family also thinks that studying is a very noble thing. The ancients also said that everything is inferior, but studying is the only one that is high, isn't it?" Perhaps because she saw Duan Wenjun was a little embarrassed, Jiang Shuying took it. Topic: "Of course, the slave family recognizes the young master. If the young master is unwilling to study, the slave family will not have any complaints."
Duan Wenjun's heart suddenly brightened. It seemed that Jiang Shuying also felt that it was time for her to study and gain fame.
He looked at Qin Siya, and then his eyes fell on Jiang Shuying's face. "Everything is of inferior quality, but studying is the only way to be good. But it doesn't mean that studying is the only way out. The words of the ancients are true, but after experiencing such Over the years, today’s scholars have completely misinterpreted the original meaning of this sentence by the ancients.”
"Misinterpreted the original meaning of the ancients' words?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
