Chapter 394: Cousin Qiu's Dream
Chapter 394
After seeing off Madam Geng, Chen Zhuo went to Zhubitang with a wooden box.
Chen Xinyan was still recuperating in the inner house.
Because Luo did not allow him to read books and spend time on chess, he simply set up a recliner in the yard and called Shi Mi and his son, Qiu Gao and Shen Xincheng and Chen Dian, and several people chatted.
After a short time of talk, Shi Mi and Shen Xincheng couldn't help but mention the matter of court to Chen Xinyan, and then asked what new policy he mentioned in the memorial he asked Chen Zhuo to send it up.
Fangfei, who was specially "taken by Luo," coughed and politely said: "Our wife has received the reward from Empress Zhaorong and must come in to discuss matters for the uncle. I should go and prepare some tea fruits for the lady. What should I need?"
Shi Mi and Shen Xincheng looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile at each other, and then stood up: "Brother Xinyan has been in the Ministry of Rites for four years, so he must teach the children's school. Let's go out for a walk."
Chen Xinyan nodded with a smile and did not give it to them.
The two of them went outside to find a place to talk for a long time, but they were in a good mood. Not to mention it.
Chen Xinyan taught the three teenagers to study, and asked them about their homework, what they like and hate in daily life. The three children spoke respectfully, and then quietly waited for Chen Xinyan to teach them the principles of being a human being.
Chen Xinyan did not say that, but only said what books he liked to read, and told them that he heard what books he was reading in the Hanlin Academy now. He also commented with a smile: "The Master said that if you study without thinking, if you think without learning, you will be in danger. Therefore, read more and understand yourself. Which level you realize is your heart, your heart, your eyes and vision. Some people can see the truth of life when you read the recipe, while some people can’t see the world’s respect when you look at the Analects of Confucius. This is normal."
Chen Dian is the oldest of the three. He thoughtful when he heard this, but frowned and shook his head, and couldn't help but say: "I have followed Mr. Ruan to sort out his past manuscripts for him. I feel that he is very entangled. Sometimes he is a scholar and has a sword mark. Sometimes he feels utilitarian and sloppy. According to Uncle Yan, this must be different articles he wrote at different times and has experienced major changes?"
Chen Xinyan nodded in praise and praise: "Dian'er is transparent. It is precisely this. He uses what he has learned to prove what he knows and deduces what he has not learned. This path can be taken by Dian'er."
Qiu Gao began to stare at the sky again, and for a while, he asked Chen Xinyan with some uncertainty: "Uncle, I often want to fly into the sky, wanting to know what is behind the clouds. It's not that I feel bad or that I'm whimsical, right?"
Chen Xinyan laughed.
Chen Dian and Shi Xiang couldn't help but look at him curiously.
Shi Xiang even opened his eyes and asked enviously: "Cousin Qiu Family, did you think of it? What should be behind the clouds?"
Qiu Gao was very embarrassed and raised his hand to touch his nose: "My mother said it was God."
There was a burst of laughter at the gate of the courtyard.
Everyone looked up and saw that it was Luo and Shen Zhuo coming.
The three teenagers quickly stood up and everyone saluted each other and saw each other.
Chen Xinyan looked at Luo with a smile: "Go and change your clothes and relax quickly."
Luo knew that her husband had not finished talking to the children, so he agreed to enter the inner room with a smile.
Chen Xinyan then turned to Qiu Gao and said warmly: "Then do you think your mother is right?"
Qiu Gao blinked, a little confused, looked up and looked at the sky again: "God is different from us? It is not a human or a god. Is it so powerful that it can cover the entire earth and the world?
"I know there is Xifan in the west, and there is Dashi in the west, so what about it? I haven't heard of a border. There is a sea in the east, but there is another Japanese country on the other side of the sea. I have met Japanese people in Guangzhou. They said that it is still a sea in the east, but no one dares to say whether there is any other country in the sea in the east.
"If the earth is as big as we don't know, then how did God, the God, rule the whole world?
"There are stars, moons, suns, and clouds at night. I always feel that there is nothing in the sky, but there seems to be nothing in it.
"There...well, I don't know what's there, but I want to go and have a look."
Chen Zhuo smiled and pulled a little boy to sit beside Shen Xinyan, holding his cheek to look at Qiu Gao, full of appreciation.
This young man is worthy of growing up in a place like Guangzhou, and his vision is indeed different.
Chen Xinyan also twisted his beard and smiled, nodding repeatedly: "Gao'er's thinking seems unrestrained, but in fact it is extremely interesting. I guess you've already turned it over, right?"
Qiu Gao felt embarrassed and reached out to touch his nose again and nodded.
Shi Xiang was confused: "?What is it?"
Chen Dian took his shoulder and whispered to him: "I have it at home, and I will take it to you."
Shi Xiang nodded happily.
"There are the most eccentrics and immortals in ancient times, and many legends emerged in the former Tang Dynasty. You young people like to read these things, and it's okay. As long as you don't just want to 'know', that's great. For example, Gao'er is very good now. You want to go up and take a look, so you are thinking about how to fly into the sky, right?"
Chen Xinyan didn't think there was any problem with this kind of inaction, but instead gave Qiu Gao an enthusiastic suggestion. "I have a friend in the Ministry of Works. He is from the rivers, lakes, seas and trenches in the world. I asked him to ask you if anyone is thinking about the same thing as you. If so, I will tell you, go and see how others do things that can fly, okay?"
Qiu Gao was so excited that he almost jumped up, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Uncle, is anyone doing this? Then can I go to the Ministry of Works to apply for an apprentice?"
Chen Xinyan laughed and shook his head and said, "That's the six ministries of the court! How could a white-body enter to apply for an apprentice? If you really want to read the instruments from ancient times to the present, you must first be qualified to enter the Ministry of Works..."
Chen Zhuo stuck out his tongue beside him: "Jinshi is the first step. Cousin Qiu is so old that it is not easy for him to take the exam for the school. Can he only enter the Ministry of Works in the Year of the Monkey and Horses in the Year of the Horse?"
Qiu Gao was breathless and listless: "But I don't like reading those books."
Chen Xinyan had already seen Chen Mi and stood at the gate of the yard, but refused to remind Qiu Gao, but just quietly pinched his daughter's hand.
Chen Zhuo understood and said to Qiu Gao quietly, "I heard that Taizu had many wonderful ideas back then. There was also this one in heaven. However, that thing can not only go up to see what is in the sky, but also go down to see what is on the ground. It is an extremely powerful tool when it is used to conquer cities and territories.
"So, the court will never let it flow outside. If Cousin Qiu really wants to study this thing in the future, he is not an official of the court. I am afraid that if he studies it privately, he will be asked."
Chen Xinyan continued this and smiled and said, "I have flipped the book a few times in Jixian Hall. But the court has a law and told you that my head will not be saved."
Qiu Gao stared at his father and daughter blankly for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "If you take the exam, who is afraid of whom?"
