Chapter 179: Year-end

Confucianism often says that the family is governing the country and pacifying the world, and that they should be honest and obey the public and law-abiding. In Shen Ao's opinion, this sentence is the most contradictory and ironic thing. How should the family be united? If you become an official, you can't make money, and your family is hungry. This is also called family management? But it is even more difficult to be honest and honest. If you don't have money, you will have nothing to pay for the whole family. So after all, Lord Tang Yantang admires him, but he does not agree! Instead of being Hai Rui, it is better to be Zhang Juzheng, which is the model of Shilin.

Looking at the proud and arrogant woman in front of her, Chen Ao smiled slightly. In this era, the women he saw were different personalities and had high spirits, but he had never seen anyone who had ambitions like this Miss Mori.

In this era, it is a virtue for women to have no talent. It is nothing to say about women who make some poetry adjustments, but they love scriptures, which is a bit strange.

No wonder this girl Tang Cai felt melancholy. People like her were actually the most painful. They would be self-pitying, but they would never be able to display their talents like men in their entire lives. All they faced was Qingge Combing Platform, who was the soulmate?

After thinking about it, Chen Ao said, "Miss Moer's words just now are wrong."

Mo'er came to her senses, and there was still a little melancholy on her pretty face. She asked in a low voice: "Please tell me Mr. Chen, where is Mo'er wrong?" She said with a gentle voice, but she also had a hint of hardness.

Chen Ao said slowly: "I want to ask, what is Miss Moer's purpose of solving the topic, inheriting the topic, reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and reciting the historical outline of the Book of Songs?"

This question made Mori speechless, and some doubt flashed in her eyes. What was the purpose? This sentence was good!

Chen Ao looked at Mori's reaction and knew it in his heart, but he asked with an easy-going smile on his face: "Miss Mori wants to learn from Lingzun, get to the emperor's palace by taking the imperial examination on the list?"

After hearing this, Mo'er raised her pretty eyebrows in annoyance, a little unwillingness flashed in her eyes, biting her lip, and said, "Why can't women do this? This is Mo'er's biggest puzzlement. If Mo'er goes to the imperial examination, it will not be difficult to even be a gold medal!"

Chen Ao continued to smile and said, "So what will Miss Mori do after the title of the Golden List?"

Moer was stunned for a moment, and a puzzled heart arose again. What happened after the title of the Golden List? How could she think about it? She was speechless again.

Before Mo'er could answer, Chen Ao sighed and said, "Look at Ling Zun, it's also a gold list, but so what?"

This sentence made Tang Yan blush, cough, and said with a little embarrassment: "Chen Ao..."

"Ah..." Chen Ao was speechless for a moment. He was just concerned about talking to Miss Tang, but he neglected Lord Tang. He coughed and quickly smiled and said, "Lord Tang is full of students all over the world. Students have no intention of using Lord Tang as a negative textbook."

Tang Yan couldn't understand the four words on the negative textbook, but when Chen Ao admitted his mistake, he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb and expose it.

Chen Ao continued to say to Mole: "So, studying is not just for the imperial examination, nor is it to show off. After reading and understanding the principles of all things in the world, you are already very content. But why do you have to put what you have learned into practice? If you really embark on the career of officialdom, you have nothing but two ways. One is like Lingzun, and you are clean and honest. But the other road is even more difficult. You have to learn to bow your head under power, learn how to do bad things, learn to flatter and flatter. Is this what Miss Mole expecting in his heart?"

Chen Ao's words made sense but a little bit more of them, but they were more confused and made Tang Yan speechless. This guy was very suspicious of scolding the bald donkey in front of the monk!

During this moment, Moer thought deeply in her heart, but was quite touched and said with a bliss, "Thank you, Mr. Xie, you are right, reading is reading, but Moer wants to ask, what is the ambition of the young master?"

When Mo'er asked, Chen Ao's face turned red. This Mo'er is so cunning. He has read too much and his stomach is full of bad water. He taught her a lesson to study for the sake of making a clear mind. Now she asked herself that if she answered for making a clear mind, her next sentence must be that since Mingzhi will not participate in the imperial examination in the future, but if she answered that it was for being an official, it would be that all she said was nonsense. She was determined to be an official, but she was teaching others to show her ambitions with righteousness. This... This...

If this is a pit, it is digging for yourself!

If it were someone else, he would have been in the crack in the ground; Chen Ao said with confidence: "If you study below, you will naturally be an official."

A trace of cunning flashed across Mo'er's eyes: "Oh? Didn't the young master just say that studying is for the purpose of realizing one's ambition?"

Chen Ao sighed: "I am different from you. Look, you will have parents to raise in the future. When you leave the cabinet and take care of your husband, you will have no worries in this life. But in the future, you will have to marry and have children and maintain a family's livelihood. Can you read so much money to support your family by studying alone? I want to make a clear mind and cannot get it, so I have to fall into the cliché and become an official. In fact, do you think I want to do this? I don't want to do it either, but due to the situation, I can't teach my future wife and children to eat the northwest wind together, right? So I envy Miss Mole very much. Mole has such conditions to calm down and study hard, but in the future, I have to be greedy for this common thing, use this book as a stepping stone, and use it as a stepping stone."

When Moer heard Chen Ao's wife on the left and children on the right, her pretty face turned red and she snorted in a slight sense. She was quite a bit of a big reason for Chen Ao, but her belly was full of thieves and prostitutes, and murmured: "Like the young master said this, do you rather have a daughter?"

Chen Ao said seriously: "Men and daughters are born equal, but they have different divisions of labor. They have their own sufferings, so why should they envy others!"

Moer smiled slightly, feeling that Chen Ao's words seemed to be full of loopholes, but there was no flaw at the moment. She pursed her lips and said, "Young Master Chen's words will make me suddenly open. Let me ask you for advice next time."

As he said that, Moer turned around without waiting for the others to respond, and walked towards the curtain, lifted the curtain, and covered her beautiful shadow behind the curtain.

"Oh..." Tang Yan sighed: "I am the daughter..." Then, he looked at the curtain vigilantly, and stopped talking cautiously, as if he was afraid of being heard: "Come on, drink, drink bar."

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Chen Ao smacked his lips and said, "Sir, it's getting late, and my cousin and I should say goodbye. The year is approaching. I wish you good health and good health." Chen Ao didn't know if there was any New Year greetings these days, but it would never be wrong to say some auspicious words.

Zhou Heng also stood up and sat down for half an hour. It felt uncomfortable to be hung aside, but he couldn't say anything. He also said, "Sir, the student is gone."

Tang Yan wanted to stay, and Chen Ao said, "I will visit the doctors' homes later."

After hearing this, Tang Yan sent the two of them out and said, "This is what you deserve. You can't keep them. Come and sit when you have time. I'm also doing nothing at home."

When he walked to the courtyard, Tang Yan whispered and said, "Chen Ao, if my daughter said something wrong, don't be surprised."

Chen Ao smiled back and said seriously: "Miss Tang is a very good person. She is both beautiful and talented. Chen Ao is already content to say a few more words to her. How dare you be surprised if you dare to be so strange? I am afraid that you can't find a second person in the world."

Tang Yan sighed and said, "It's a pity that he is a daughter! What's the use of reading more books? She is already quite old and the media protection team has broken the threshold. But... Hey, she is very arrogant and ordinary men look down on her. If she had known this, she wouldn't have taught her to study. It's better to say that a woman has no talent, she is virtue. I'm really confused."

Chen Ao was speechless, but such a woman in this era was an alternative; he finally understood that a woman without talent is virtue. After reading too much, his daughter naturally had higher ambitions. She did not take ordinary men seriously. Even if she was willing, if someone married her, her knowledge was higher than her husband. This husband would inevitably be unable to bear it.

It seems that women are better to be stupid sometimes. Several men stood in the snow and sighed and sighed.

Tang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, Mo'er is almost double 10 years old. If you don't find a marriage, who else dares to marry him if this delay continues? I am worried about two things now, one is the Imperial College and the other is Mo'er."

Double 10? I’m under twenty years old, so I’m considered an old girl? Lord Tang, have you ever considered this?

Chen Ao shouted in his heart, and his face almost became cold, but he said seriously: "Miss Moer is so smart that he will definitely find a good marriage."

After saying goodbye to Tang Yan, he immediately went to the houses of Dr. Qin and others to pay homage. After visiting each other, it was already midnight when he returned to Zhou Mansion. The straw raincoats of the three of them were piled with thick snow. After shaking, snowflakes fell. One night, they finally passed in fatigue.

On the last winter day of the fourth year of Xuanhe, the whole Zhou Mansion was busy, posting lanterns and distributing fruits and vegetables. The busiest one was probably Liu Wen. Today is the first year when Liu Wen was promoted to the head of the inner court, so he naturally had to work harder. He was busy drinking and almost forgot to give the lady breakfast to the lady. He patted his forehead and shouted, "Damn it, Young Master Chou is fine." He has a good personality and will not care about such trivial matters, but Liu Wen couldn't handle the lady's temperament, so he hurriedly asked someone to send it, and took the pastry to Chen Ao's residence himself.

This time, it was empty. There seemed to be no one in the room. After calling for a long time, I couldn't see Master Chou. It was a good New Year's Eve. Master Chou left the door early in the morning. It happened that several girls passed by. Liu Wen pretended to be the chief officer and waved them to come with his hands, asking, "Who has seen Master Chou?"

A few girls were not afraid of this in charge. Some of them were serving the wife and the lady, and their status was different. So they laughed and said, "Young Master, cousin? I just saw him picking a few wintersweet flowers in the back garden and left in a hurry. By the way, that big guy followed him."

"Big guy?" Liu Wen was full of doubts: "What big guy?"

"It's the idle Yu Hou, Humph, I know how to tease us girls, and I even said that we should look at his treasure..." The girls' pretty faces turned red and couldn't help but spat.

Liu Wen was speechless and had to say, "You guys go." He couldn't help thinking: This young man hasn't eaten breakfast yet. Oh, this is the case for young people, it's really a worry.

Chen Ao rode his horse and faced the wind and snow, but he arrived at the flower garden early in the morning. Looking at the continuous buildings of the flower garden, he felt very happy when he thought of half of his shares, but today, he did not come for this.

Tied the horse under the dead tree beside the road, Deng Long also followed him and said with a smile: "Young Master Chen, you won't stop until the end of the New Year. Wouldn't this be a bit bad? Otherwise, let's come again in another time?"

The flower hall closed the door today, Chen Ao knocked on it, and someone inside said absent-mindedly: "Go, go, go, go, don't do business today."

The service attitude was too bad. Chen Ao wiped the mist on his face, and a dripping cold cut down his cheeks, shouting at the railing on the second floor: "Zhenzhen, is Zhenzhen here?"

"Wow, Mr. Chen is indeed different from others. Even visiting the flower garden is different from others." Deng Long sighed in his heart, and he couldn't help but stay away from him, so as not to ruin his lifetime reputation.

The heads poked out from the railing on the second floor, but they were all lazy beauties. Someone scolded: "I can't teach me how to go to bed early in the morning? Hey, who is calling? Furong, go and drive people away."

Someone laughed sniffled: "Brother, are you looking for Huanhuan or Ye'er? My family is called Shushu. If you call Sister Shushu, I will ask Furong to open the door for you."

Chen Ao was speechless and was teased. Should I blush and pretend to be pure? Alas, forget it!

He smiled and said to the beauty, "Sister Shushu..."

Shushu was just teasing Shen Ao. Seeing that he was really screaming, he still screamed so sweetly, he immediately smiled happily: "Where did you come from? You're so thick-skinned. OK, I'll ask someone to open the door for you."

Soon, the crimson gate of the flower garden quietly opened a gap. An old man showed his eyes and glanced out, and said with a tiger face: "Young Master, the girls in the flower garden today are not guests. Even in the past, if they were not interested, they might not see you."

Chen Ao laughed and said, "I'm not a guest, I'm your new owner. Oh, did Eunuch Yang tell you?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then reacted and asked, "Are you Mr. Chen Ao Chen?"

Chen Ao coughed and said, "Often people call me Shen Da Caizi, but forget it, I don't care. Let me in quickly. I'm not here. Is Miss Zhenzhen here?"
