The Philosopher's Dandy Dream

Warm day and wind.

Liu Shenyan rolled his sleeves and huddled with an old man in the workshop, happily playing with the utensils.

In my previous life, I was full of curiosity about how to make clay pots. In this life, if I have the opportunity, I must try it myself.

But why is this surface always not smooth enough?

How can a piece of mud, a turntable, a wooden knife, a bamboo slice and a mud cake become handicrafts?

Liu Shenyan felt a little headache.

……

Before Liu Shenyan could finish thinking about these kinds of questions, he heard "Elder Master". Hearing this familiar voice, Liu Shenyan didn't raise his head, "Hey! Liu Yi, get the hell out! Master is busy!"

"My lord, my lord, but the master has something to do with you!" Liu Yi was out of breath and reported to Liu Shenyan intermittently.

"Looking for me?" Liu Shenyan and Ni paused, "What's the matter?"

"The decree has come down!"

"Imperial decree? Lord, am I going to be an official?" Liu Shenyan raised his eyebrows with a cynical expression.

"Oh, my lord, you are really clever!"

"What?" Liu Shenyan was taken aback. He became an official without being recommended or passed the imperial examination. Isn't this too childish?

"Really, really, eldest son, the imperial decree has come down!"

"Huh?" Liu Shenyan looked at Liu Yi questioningly.

"Oh, how dare I, Liu Yi, lie to you!"

"What's in the imperial decree?"

"How dare this slave look at it? I just heard that the young master seems to have become a tutor and has a marriage contract with the princess!"

"Teacher, engagement? Well, you go back first! I'll come!"

"Then hurry up!"

……

Liu Shenyan rushed back to Liu's mansion non-stop, and when he entered the door, he even shook the stone lion at the door with mud spots all over his body.

……

Walking into Liu Xiao's study room, as usual, Liu Xiao sat at the desk reviewing the book, Liu Shenyan shook his sleeves, covered his hands, and saluted, "Father, what are you looking for?"

"My son, you should already know about this. The imperial decree is on your table. After you go back and look at it, put it on hold. From now on, do your duty properly, be careful in your words and deeds, and don't go around all day. Make trouble! That's it, my son, let's go down!" Liu Xiao ordered lightly, but his tone was mild but unquestionable.

"Father!" Liu Shenyan deliberately put two muddy fingerprints on Liu Xiao's case.

"What?" Xiao ignored Liu Shenyan's behavior.

"Why?" Liu Shenyan was a little dissatisfied.

"Didn't you already inform my son last time?" Liu Xiao flipped through the book by himself.

"I don't want to!" Liu Shenyan was unwilling to compromise on this kind of matter.

"what?"

"My son doesn't want to be an official, let alone marry a wife!"

"Why?"

"My son, I have no ambitions, and my son, my son, I can't speak humanely."

"That's cheaper."

"what?"

"Is the sage a mortal who can teach? As for the princess, it's just a decoration!"

"I don't want to!" Liu Shenyan raised his head, looking at Liu Xiao sadly.

"Isn't my son only willing to be a rich boy?" Liu Xiao turned another page of the book.

"How about that?"

"Marry a wife and then enter the palace to be the Taifu."

"He, how can you be virtuous when you speak carefully?"

"My son, I remember your talent and learning, the invincible player in the whole capital, now, huh?"

"I don't want to!" Liu Shenyan sneered, what is invincible in Beijing is just playing a few paradoxes, and how can a truly talented person compete with someone like himself?

"If you don't want to, then you can do it!" Liu Xiao didn't raise his head.

"..."

……

Coming out of Liu Xiao's study, Liu Shenyan felt that life was really a funny drama, he was afraid of whatever would happen, but in the end he was blackmailed by his own father with his own younger brother.

To teach the emperor?

How to teach those with unrighteous views?

Is it possible to teach by precepts and deeds by yourself, and hook up with the emperor to visit brothels?

Or should I tell him that the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Principles are not advisable?

Will a country eventually perish?

Liu Shenyan felt that his head was shaking.

Listening to what my father meant, I didn't expect to teach myself any virtue, that is, to be perfunctory, to spend time with the little emperor, to block the way of the group of important officials that the queen mother hates, and to disgust them.

But how about marrying a wife?

Liu Shenyan was speechless.

……

Back in his own room, Liu Shenyan unfolded the scroll, Princess Yuxi.

Princess Yuxi, Princess Yuxi, Liu Shenyan thought about it a few times.

This little princess should be the one with the teeth!

How innocent!

So young to be a victim of politics.

Thinking about it, Liu Shenyan felt that he was ridiculous again, didn't he?

He is just a dandy but wants to become a minister who is very close to the emperor in a country.

Liu Shenyan was a little self-deprecating, reckoning that the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty in the Dayou Dynasty probably knew the truth that if you stay close to Zhu, you will be red, and if you stay close to ink, you will be black.

The Empress Dowager's power is probably already monstrous.

……

Liu Shenyan stood on the stool in front of the case, and carefully placed the finished jar on the top of the cabinet.

Although rough, Liu Shenyan is quite complacent, how do you say the old saying?

Yes, I cherish myself.

At this moment, Liu Duxing ran in, raised his head and asked out of breath, "Brother, are you going to marry a wife?"

"Ok!"

"Brother, have you become an official?" Liu Duxing's face showed a trace of anxiety.

"Yes!"

"Brother, didn't we agree?"

"What did you say?" Liu Shenyan pretended to be ignorant.

"Brother, you lied to me!"

"What did I lie to you?"

"You said that life is short, people should do what they like, don't be bound by the world, don't forget yourself because of responsibility, don't compromise easily, and what are you doing now?"

"I like..." Liu Shenyan suddenly felt that idealism, romanticism, and individualism were extremely inappropriate.

"Bah, you haven't seen it at all!" Liu Duxing was thinking that Liu Shenyan was going to marry a wife, but he didn't notice that they just said that he was going to be an official, so he interrupted directly.

"..." Whether you've seen it or not has nothing to do with whether you like it or not, whether you're an official or not, Liu Shenyan doesn't want to complain about the kid's logic.

"Brother, let's run away!" Liu Duxing suddenly grabbed Liu Shenyan by the hem of his clothes.

"Elope?" Liu Shenyan's mouth twitched, but it's just a relative and an official, it's not that serious!Want to elope?

"..."

"Okay, silly boy. Parents and children are orderly. If I don't get married, what will you do in the future?" Liu Shenyan thought it was a child's fantasy, and rubbed Liu Duxing's head nonchalantly.

"I'm not married!" Liu Duxing replied seriously.

"Stupid words!" Liu Shenyan couldn't help laughing.

……

The moon was as cool as water, and Liu Shenyan and Liu Duxing were sitting on the roof.

Sure enough, only the ancients have sentiment, so leisurely.

Liu Shenyan ate grapes, spat out the skins, and lay on the tile.

"Brother, is what you just said true?" Liu Duxing, who was lying on the side, asked in a low voice.

"What's true?" The words were only true when they were said, and Liu Shenyan felt a little twitching.

"That's right, that's right..." Liu Duxing stammered.

"What is it?" Liu Shenyan asked casually.

"It's inhumane!"

"Oh, really!" Liu Shenyan thought it was very funny, he didn't care if he blocked what his father said, why did this brat care so much?It's also my fault that I think it is difficult to explain why I am married, so I have to tell the little ghost that I am marrying for a show, and the reason is that I am inhumane.

"Why then?"

"If you can't eat pork, can't you watch the pigs run?" Liu Shenyan knew that he was asking about brothels.

"Really can not?"

"Really." Liu Shenyan felt that this question was boring, and it was not like that when talking about bed affairs.

"I do not believe!"

"..."

"How about I accompany you to see the doctor?"

Liu Shenyan suddenly put his hands on his side, and stared at his little devil with worried eyes.

"Family ugliness must not be exposed!"

"Then how about I touch it for you?"

"Ok?"

"I said,……"

"No, go down!"

"elder brother!"

"Knowledge!"
