On the second day, Shen Wei went to Shen Yuan's study with "Qinghejun Bamboo Ode".
Shen Yuan took the calligraphy and read it back and forth several times before putting it down with unsatisfied thoughts.
"Although the handwriting is a little weak, the writing is a rare masterpiece." Shen Yuan praised highly, and then asked, "Who is this Qingling Sanren?"
"This is Mr. Xie from Mingshan Academy, Xie Zhe. He is from the Xie family in Qingling, and he is also Jieyuan from Qingzhou."
Shen Yuan glanced at Shen Wei and said slowly: "I know so clearly. Is he your friend?"
"He is the nephew of his mentor Xie Liuxi. He came to Mingshan Academy on the recommendation of his son." Shen Wei did not hide it.
"What do you mean by recommending it to your father today?" Shen Yuan asked.
Shen Wei was silent for a while, thinking about his words for a long time, and finally chose to speak directly.
"Ah Yao is about to get haircut."
Shen Yuan was a little surprised: "Are you trying to bring him and Yao'er together?"
Shen Wei nodded.
"Nonsense!" Shen Yuan reprimanded, his face darkening, "Yao'er's marriage is not as simple as you think."
Shen Wei couldn't help but contradict him: "The royal family looks noble, but in fact it is dangerous. Father, do girls from the Shen family have to marry into the royal family?!"
Shen Yuan took a deep look at Shen Wei, picked up the teacup at hand, drank slowly, and then said after a long time: "I am suspicious today."
"His Majesty and I have known each other since we were young, and we have the friendship of classmates. He is the king, and I am the minister. I am devoted to him, and he has given me the title of minister. In the eyes of outsiders, the Shen Mansion is like a burning fire cooking oil, and flowers blooming brocade, but In fact, it is extremely dangerous. Shen is on a high platform and if he makes one wrong move, his whole family will be destroyed."
"The older your Majesty gets, the more suspicious he becomes. He wants to use me, but he also wants to guard against me. If I marry an important official in the court, I will be suspected of forming a party for personal gain. If I marry an ordinary court official, Your Majesty will suspect me of standing on my own. It makes him unable to rule. Marriage with the royal family is both a blessing and a restraint."
Speaking of this, Shen Yuan paused and sighed: "Do you think the wedding in Shen's house is just a wedding? Accompanying the king is like a tiger. Of course, as a father, he knows that the royal family is like a dragon and a tiger's den, but he can only help Yao'er. Choose the safest one.”
Shen Wei was silent for a long time after hearing this.
"My son has thought carefully about what his father said. It's just that the Xie family in Qingling is a pure family. The Xie family has no important ministers and has never had cliques. The Xie family's ancestral motto is to only be direct ministers. Isn't this the best candidate? "
"Besides, we still don't know what those princes are thinking. If they have different intentions, it will be a serious crime to destroy the nine clans. I hope father will think twice."
Shen Yuan rubbed the copybook with his fingers, read "Qinghe Jun Bamboo Ode" again, and then said: "It is indeed a gentleman."
"There will be a Qiu Poetry Party at the end of the month. You can bring him to meet him."
The most indispensable thing in Kyoto is literati. There are countless talented people like crucian carp crossing the river. Various poetry clubs and talk parties are often held in the city, and there is one almost every three to five days. The Pinqiu Poetry Club is one of them.
But the Pinqiu Poetry Recital was different from other poetry recitals. Although it was also a private gathering, this "private party" was actually the attending readers and lecturers of the Hanlin Academy. Therefore, not only students and talented people participated in the Pinqiu Poetry Meeting, but more importantly, civil servants from the court also came, including many important officials of the first rank, such as Shen Yuan and Meng Que.
Asking Xie Zhe to attend the Autumn Poetry Recital means that Shen Yuan is willing to consider Xie Zhe. Shen Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave. Suddenly I heard Shen Yuan's serious voice next to my ears: "Awei, you have to be more cautious and consider multiple things when encountering problems in the future. Sooner or later, the Shen family will be handed over to you."
Shen Wei was shocked and looked at Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan patted Shen Wei on the shoulder and said: "Your eldest brother is leading troops outside, and the risks are unpredictable. The third brother has a wild personality and doesn't like to be restrained. He is not suitable for intrigues in the court. As for the fifth brother, he will always want his return." Mother clan. Ah Wei, you have to hold on, you have to protect the entire Shen family in the future."
Shen Wei suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders. He bowed and solemnly said, "My son has taken note of it."
After Shen Wei came out of Shen Yuan's study, his steps were heavy. But when he stepped into Tao Queyuan and saw Shen Zhuo's smiling face, as bright as the morning sun, the pressure in his heart became much lighter.
"You can't trust your second brother so much?" Shen Wei smiled, his eyebrows clear.
"Why don't I believe it?" Shen Zhuo smiled sweetly at Shen Wei, and she blinked her big eyes, "I came to see my second brother because I had a plan in mind..."
Five days later, it was another holiday at Mingshan Academy. Shen Zhuo ran to Shen Yao's Luoxia Pavilion early in the morning.
Shen Yao was copying copybooks in front of the window. Shen Zhuo was swept in like a gust of wind, pulling Shen Yao and shouting: "Sister, sister, the second brother went out fishing again."
Shen Yao stopped the pen in his hand: "Second brother has always loved fishing, and he went out fishing again. What is there for you to panic about?"
Shen Zhuo tugged on Shen Yao's sleeve and shook it: "This, this is not it, I want to go too."
Since Shen Zhuo acted recklessly twice before, Princess Pingyang no longer allowed Shen Zhuo to leave the house alone and exercised extremely strict control over her.
"Sister, dear sister, just go with me." Shen Zhuo coquettishly smiled fawningly at Shen Yao.
Shen Yao took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from Shen Zhuo's forehead, and said softly: "Then you have to have breakfast before you go. I'll let Huan'er prepare the carriage and horses first. You can eat something in peace."
Shen Yao said and asked someone to prepare some food. Shen Zhuo stuffed some food into his mouth, pulled Shen Yao and walked out. Shen Yao didn't doubt him either. Shen Zhuo had a restless temper and used to like to go fishing with Shen Wei.
On this day, Shen Wei made an appointment with two or three friends to go boating and fishing in Qingyu Lake. There are several small islands in Qingyu Lake, which are good places for fishing.
Shen Zhuo pulled Shen Yao and hurried slowly, and finally caught up when Shen Wei and others boarded the ship and were about to lift anchor.
"Hahaha, let me get it right, right? I just said it, Jiaojiao will definitely come." Wen Chengming clapped his hands and laughed, with a smug look on his face.
"You still want to say this? How many times has Jiaojiao come here secretly?" Chu Yi also smiled.
Wen Dengming and Chu Yi are both die-hard fishing friends of Shen Wei, while Shen Zhuo is a die-hard fishing friend of Shen Wei, and they come here to fish eight out of ten times.
Shen Weidao smiled and shook his head: "A few days ago, Jiaojiao was naughty and got into trouble, so my mother tightened her control over her. I thought she wouldn't be able to come this time, but unexpectedly she abducted Ayao."
Hearing the word "Ah Yao", the man in white who had been silent next to him suddenly raised his eyes and looked over from a distance.
It was Xie Zhe.
