Chapter 27 I Don't Want To Read Anymore
Chen Xun didn't want to see again. In the future, someone came to invade Chenjiazhuang. These students who had spent a lot of money to train would eventually choose to treat their enemies with weakness and deception.
The fine traditions such as lying on firewood and tasting gall, enduring humiliation under the crotch are not used in this situation, nor are they considered at this level. Before they reach the top level, they only need to be hard!
Be tough on yourself!
Hard to the enemy!
When the enemy thought of going against Chenjiazhuang, the first reaction in his mind was: "I'll go, those hard bones are very difficult to crack."
Let the enemy be scruple and hesitate, and then make excuses for yourself: "I don't want beautiful jade to touch the stubborn stone."
...
In the evening, Chen Xun came to the East Courtyard again, and his father Chen Yi invited Chen Xun to have supper.
In recent years, due to the opening of various workshops in Chenjiazhuang, people have gradually become accustomed to three meals a day. Because the lunch break is short, they can only make do with a little bite, so most people choose to have a good meal at night.
Dinner is more abundant than Chinese food and has gradually become the mainstream in Chenjiazhuang.
"Brother!"
"Why are you back?"
The one who calls Chen Xun's eldest brother is Chen Xun's younger brother Chen Youwen. Chen Youwen is the oldest brother under Chen Xun. He is a compatriot who has been studying in the county school. He is of the kind of level of "passing the provincial examination with a steady state, but not sure about the imperial examination."
In the Ming Dynasty, after the provincial examination, he could be called a scholar and could already have certain privileges. However, in the Song Dynasty, after the provincial examination, he was still a student and had no privileges.
"I'm back with a leave."
"Okay, what leave?" The two of them walked towards the dining room while chatting. It was early today and they were serving food. Chen Xun and his brother sat on the tea table next to them.
"How is your knowledge recently?" This is a polite question. Chen Xun is not very concerned about his younger brothers' knowledge, because he will be affected by his own development in the future.
Chen Xun himself has developed well, and they can ascend to heaven without learning. If Chen Xun develops poorly and is wiped out by Song Ting, they will be implicated, and it will be useless to learn well.
Besides, even if they learn well, Chen Xun's power cannot be used too much when they come back. Otherwise, there will be great internal conflicts within the power, and they don't want to do anything to fight against their unjust thoughts.
Therefore, the fate of these younger brothers and sisters has basically been destined.
Chen Xun became prosperous and they could enjoy wealth and prosperity for the rest of their lives.
Chen Xun's gutter capsized, so they followed him into the water to become ghosts.
"No progress, the teacher said I don't have any talent in learning." Chen Youwen replied.
Studying is very tiring, and being proactive is not something that ordinary people can persist for decades. Only those who need great perseverance can become successful.
Before, his family was not very rich, and his younger brother Chen Youwen was able to study hard. Now that his family is so rich, he has started to slack off unconsciously.
If my father was a great writer, he could still encourage him. But his father Chen Yi has not even completed literacy and is hoping that he would encourage Chen Youwen to do research, that would be a "whip". He still has to be a cowhide, otherwise he would have to be diligent.
"Okay, let's sit here and have a meal."
After the cold dishes were served, Chen Yi came in from outside. With Chen Xun's mother, two concubines and several younger brothers and sisters came in.
The younger brothers and sisters who were waiting to play in the dining room were obediently sitting around the dining table, and their seats were basically fixed.
Chen Yi is naturally the main seat. Chen Xun sits on Chen Yi's left hand, Chen Youwen is on Chen Xun's left, and there are several younger brothers on the left. Chen Yi's right hand is Chen Xun's mother, followed by two concubines and several younger sisters.
Although Chen Yi was angry that Chen Xun gave up his studies and turned to business, he had to admit Chen Xun's status. In this family, the two concubines dared not sit in front of Chen Xun.
After the dishes, I drank a few glasses of wine with Chen Yi, and the atmosphere on the dining table gradually became relaxed.
"How was the matter in Dongguan County handled? When will your uncle be released?"
"It's not a question of whether to let go. My uncle was just under house arrest and lived in his own home. Except for not being able to go out, the movements of other family servants were not restricted." Chen Xun replied.
Now there is no place to worry about saving Chen Fu.
Moreover, Chen Fu's previous behavior has reduced Chen Xun's position in his heart a lot. There is no need to take the initiative to punish him or take the initiative to save him, even if he was under house arrest because of Chenjiazhuang.
In the past, when you were offered a gift from Chenjiazhuang, you had to have the awareness of giving for Chenjiazhuang. If you were unwilling to give actively, you would give passively. No one could avoid the retribution.
Now that Chen Fu is under house arrest, at least he calms the mood of the Dongguan County Magistrate and allows him to use the "OK" disposal strategy for Chenjiazhuang.
"He is your uncle. He has taken good care of our Chenjiazhuang in the county government over the years and cannot be ungrateful." Chen Yi persuaded.
Yes, Chen Fu has indeed worked for Chenjiazhuang in recent years, but that has been spent on money. If you look for outsiders, you may be able to save a portion of it.
Moreover, even if I support an outsider before, I would not have to separate my relationship with this incident.
"Okay, I will go to the county government after I handle the matters in the village." Chen Xun responded casually, and it depends on the situation whether he did it or not. He just happened to be planning to master some of the initiative and continuously passive responses made Chen Xun feel very uncomfortable.
"Okay, you have to do your best to do this, otherwise your aunt will come and cry, and I will let her find you." Chen Yi did not keep it in the end, and showed his fear of trouble.
After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Chen Xun saw that his younger brother next to him was a little restless, and knew that the business he called him here today was not for his uncle.
"I asked you to come here today. In addition to doing your uncle's affairs, I also want you to persuade your second brother." Chen Yi said.
"What's wrong with the second brother?"
Chen Yi cut Chen Youwen hard with his eyes, and then said to Chen Xun: "Your brother doesn't want to continue studying."
"Why is this?" Chen Xun put down his chopsticks and looked at Chen Youwen, meaning that he would answer this question by himself.
Even if these younger brothers and sisters can enjoy wealth and glory with them, Chen Xun doesn't want them to become waste.
Only by being able to learn something and having your own hobbies can life be truly fulfilled.
Even if you learn to be a corrupt scholar and only like poetry, songs, essays, it is better than nothing, and you can only eat, drink, and have fun.
"I don't think I can pass the exam." Chen Youwen said in a low voice.
"Bastard, do you think you won't get into the exam and then stop studying? How much money have you spent over the years? If you say you don't want to study, then stop studying?" It is probably because you have heard of Chen Youwen's not wanting to study before, and you are prepared. Chen Yi's scolding was very smooth and imposing enough.
"Father, listen to my second brother continue." Chen Xun interrupted his anger.
Because it's useless.
"You keep going."
