Chapter 25 Section Thirteen

Unexpectedly, there are not a few people who care about him. When he returned to Sang Mansion that night, Sang Yu Chu handed him a letter, saying it was written by Su Shi.The letter reads: "Shi Qi, Mengchun is still cold, so it's not like living without a trial. The day before yesterday, I heard that you hurt your own life, so you didn't want to be famous, and refused to go to the test of Maocai, only wishing to grow old in the spring forest. I don't think so. The ancient hermit, There are rulers who hide away without the way, those who govern without the way and hide away, those who live in troubled times hide away, and those who live in a peaceful world hide away. When this is called peace and nothing happens, but hidden dangers are deeply rooted, the Holy Lord is on top, day and night. The sages and bureaucrats rule the world together, serve the king properly with their talents, and help the country. Why should they hide? It is common sense that monarchs and ministers are more important than parents, and righteousness is more important than personal relationships. How can they abandon themselves to the world because of a temporary injury? Moreover, if you talk about the desolation of life experience, Confucius was seventeen and his parents died, but his parents may not be dead. Confucius did not dare to abandon himself, why did he dare to abandon himself? It is said that since ancient times, great talents have suffered many hardships, and Mencius also said that heaven will send a great mission to As a man, one must first suffer from one's will. A good encounter can hurt one's heart, but one cannot give up on one's self..."

The meaning of fist and fist in the letter is also to persuade Shi Yue not to give up on himself. Shi Yue silently put away the letter, and said to Sang Yuchu, "Don't worry, uncle, I have my own concerns." There was no expression on Sang Yuchu's stern face. He just said indifferently: "Ziming, I can rest assured that you do things. It doesn't matter if you don't become an official. You are indispensable to a rich family." These few plain words made Shi Yue's heart feel hot.Since returning to ancient times, he has experienced a lot of the kindness between people.In modern times, apart from your relatives and best friends, who will care about what you think?Everyone thinks more about their own interests.Sang Yuchu's words gave Shi Yue a warm feeling in his heart. He raised his head and looked at Sang's house, as if he felt at home.

While thinking about these tender things, he walked towards his study and bedroom.When he entered the inner house, he suddenly heard someone calling him: "Brother Shi." Hearing this voice, he knew it was Sang Zi'er. "Zi'er? Do you have anything to do with me?" Shi Yue has always been very concerned about Sang Zi'er, pampering him like his own younger sister. "I want to ask you something." Sang Zi'er leaned against a pillar and asked with her eyes downcast. "You say so." Shi Yue smiled. "I heard them say you don't want to be an official? Do you?"

"more or less." "But I think Big Brother Shi has a lot of ambition in his chest, which Tang Yifu and my brother can't match. If you don't become an official, how can you show your ambition?" "..." Shi Yue was speechless for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry too much about the little girl." "I'm not young anymore. I'm only fourteen years old this year." "Yes, yes... Big girls don't care so much, go back and learn painting, study ink in spring, tune piano in autumn, now is a good season to learn painting."

"I just drew a painting for you." Sang Zi'er smiled slyly, and took out a scroll of paintings from behind her, only then did Shi Yue notice that she had kept her hands behind her back.He took the painting and unfolded it for a closer look, but it showed a scholar dancing his sword under the moonlight, and that figure was vaguely himself, with a poem written next to it in delicate lowercase letters: "If you want to vomit grass and worry about the country's ambitions, who can arouse you?" Praise the emperor?"——This is a poem that Shi Yue chanted in front of her before, but she used it here, comparing Shi Yue to Li Jing among the Three Heroes, which is also an encouragement.
