Chapter 31 Father and Son
Shan Zhizhang.
The father of Shan Liwen is also one of the four instructors of Ningbo Prefecture School.
However, Ningbo Prefecture School is over 70 years old and has insufficient energy, so it has no longer involved in the Prefecture School. This has made the four mentors in the Prefecture School actually hold real power.
According to reliable information, after the provincial examination is over next year, Ningbo Prefecture Xuezheng will officially resign. Shan Zhizhang is expected to become the next Xuezheng because he is very famous in Ningbo Prefecture.
...
When Bai Shier found out the news from the Jinyiwei base in Ningbo Prefecture, he finally understood why Zhang Fu set up a bureau to deal with a young scholar like Dan Liwen.
At the same time, he couldn't help but complain about Shan Liwen and his "classmates". The instructor said that he would be a good teacher, why did he have to say something about his master? I thought Shan Liwen's father was really just an ordinary private school teacher.
However, no matter how much he complained, he actually knew in his heart that these scholars had more or less minor problems. Although there were quite a few scholars who were proud of their official status, there were still many scholars like Shan Zhizhang who were called "pedantic" people. From the bottom of his heart, Bai Shier admired such scholars very much.
Maybe it’s a bit troublesome when dealing with it, but you don’t have to worry about the other party stabbing you in the back.
Although Bai Shier wanted to visit the other party after knowing Shan Zhizhang's identity, and told Zhang Fu about his behavior, his idea of asking the other party for the reason was much weaker.
But since he had already made an agreement with Dan Liwen before, he really couldn't break his promise and was fat.
...
While Bai Shier was asking Shan Zhizhang about the situation of Jinyiwei, Shan Liwen was also in the study room and told his father Shan Zhizhang about his experience during this period.
However, his focus was naturally on how Zhang Fu and Li Zhongze wanted to set up a trap to harm him. Regarding his entanglement with the princess Zhu Jinxuan, he chose to directly ignore Zhu Jinxuan's identity.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, and he was not afraid of it for the respected one.
No matter how a princess is, she is still a noble person.
However, only he knows the real thoughts in his heart.
...
"Zhang Bin!"
Although Shan Liwen's story has many loopholes because he has snatched Zhu Jinxuan's identity as a princess, fortunately, his father has been completely attracted by another name.
"I thought he was just a person who was incapable of his ability, so he could only choose to go with the flow, but he didn't expect that he would be so ill-involved."
Although Shan Zhizhang is a straightforward person in the eyes of all the students of the school, ignorant of his work, and even a bit pedantic, he can still understand the key points of this matter better than the young Dan Liwen.
Besides, he was not really as pedantic as those students said. Otherwise, how could he become the most favorable candidate for Ningbo Prefecture's next Xuezheng at the age of 195?
"By the way, Dad, when the little flag of the Jinyiwei was separated, he also said that he would come to visit him the day. Because I was very kind to him twice, it was really hard to refuse, so..."
Seeing that Zhang Bin seemed to have already grabbed all the hatred of his father Shan Zhizhang, Shan Liwen quickly spoke.
However, even so, when he spoke, he looked cautious. When he said the words "Embroidered Uniform Guard Small Flag", his voice was even light and even a little vague.
"This time I have received such great favor from others, so we father and son should visit them. How can we receive favor from others? Let those who give kindness come to the door?"
Shan Zhizhang showed dissatisfaction as he was worried, but what Shan Liwen did not expect was that the reason why his father was dissatisfied seemed to be very different from what he guessed...
"Have you forgotten all the etiquette you taught me since childhood and the many books of sages you have read?"
Looking at Shan Zhizhang's dissatisfied face, Shan Liwen was not as nervous as he was when he was scolded before, but looked at him with some confusion.
"Although my father has no good feelings for hawks like factory guards, merit is merit, and fault is fault, and the kindness given by others is also kindness."
Shan Zhizhang naturally understood his thoughts when he looked at the expression on his son's face, so he spoke up and said.
"Can you just throw the Ende from the head when the other party is the Jinyiwei, and he saves your Ende directly?"
"What my father taught me is to remember."
Dan Liwen hurriedly bowed to the teachings.
"Um."
Shan Zhizhang nodded with satisfaction.
"Do you know where that Bai Xiaoqi lives? I will take you to the door today to thank him."
"Uh, this..."
Dan Liwen raised her head, her face a little embarrassed.
"This, after arriving in Ningbo Prefecture, my son was worried about his family, so he immediately returned home after saying goodbye to several classmates..."
"Why!"
Looking at his son who looked embarrassed and ashamed, Shan Zhizhang couldn't help but sigh and did not scold him anymore. He didn't know if he was really disappointed with his behavior, too lazy to teach a lesson, or because he didn't know how to speak.
"Go back to the backyard and say goodbye to your mother."
After the air was silent for a while, Shan Zhizhang looked at Shan Liwen who was still ashamed and bowed awkwardly, sighed silently, waved his hand at him, and spoke.
"Since these days, you have not returned yet, she is worried every day, so don't tell her these things, so she won't blame herself again."
"Yes, the boy understands."
When Shan Liwen heard that his father Shan Zhizhang finally spoke, he couldn't help but feel relieved and quickly replied.
"Then the kid will take his leave first."
"Go."
Looking at Shan Liwen, who seemed to be slow but actually exposed her mood, Shan Zhizhang sat at the desk, and his expression of dissatisfaction just now could not help but change to a smile.
...
Although he was not considered a child in old age, he finally had the son of Dan Liwen after he got married for several years. He had experienced countless hardships during this period.
The offspring is hard to come by, so his wife is naturally extremely doting. In addition, she is the only son, and she is even held in the palm of her hand by the family.
Although he had already strictly disciplined Dan Liwen, in the eyes of outsiders, Dan Liwen was also a young genius, but he knew it very well in his heart.
His son grew up in sugar water since he was a child. He finally managed to urge him to study hard, but with his clever mind, coupled with his position as a teacher in the imperial examination, he was extremely successful in the imperial examination. He passed the boy exam at the age of more than ten and never suffered any setbacks.
Perhaps this seems to be a good thing in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of Shan Zhizhang, it is definitely not a good thing.
This also made this ordeal in Shan Zhizhang's opinion that this time came.
However, while feeling glad for his son, Shan Zhizhang was also full of resentment towards Zhang Fu, who dared to set up a trap to harm his son, and Zhang Bin behind Zhang Fu.
