Hengnan is windy

There are many sons, so prepare to argue for Qiyao. "

"Ah?" Situ Hengnan had a troubled face, but he still couldn't stop the day of the school.

The day is cool and cool, but the heat has not completely dissipated, and the heat is faintly dormant, but overall it is considered a comfortable mild weather.

Situ Hengnan held the brush in his hand, propped his head up, and watched the two bugs fighting in the shade outside the window.After the first lecture was over, half an hour had passed after a short break, and it seemed that Xueshi Lin had learned the doctrine of the mean from self-cultivation.

"...Therefore, there is the saying that 'the mean is virtue, and it is the ultimate'."

As soon as Xueshi Lin finished speaking, he said, "Ziheng."

Situ Hengnan didn't realize it for a while, until the young master of the Ministry of Rites behind him poked his back with a pen and coughed twice, then he remembered that everyone in the school was a successor of Confucianism and a disciple of the old master Confucius. There is a word starting with "zi", everyone is equal, and everyone here is commensurate with this word to discuss learning.He was naturally called "Ziheng".

"Yes." Situ Hengnan stood up.

Lin Xueshi smiled with his hands behind his back and asked, "Is it interesting that two bugs are fighting outside the window?"

The young prince Dingguo who was standing beside him couldn't help laughing. Situ Hengnan glanced at him before replying, "It's not interesting to go back to the bachelor."

"Oh? Why?" Xueshi Lin spoke in a neither hasty nor slow manner, just right.

Situ Hengnan didn't know how he knew he was watching bugs fighting, so he came here to ask.

"The outcome is uncertain, which makes people very anxious." Situ Hengnan replied bluntly.

Duke Ding's young prince couldn't hold back his laughter long ago, and the few young princes who usually followed him also covered their mouths and laughed softly.Even Shen Ke, who is usually cold-faced, couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth.The other two princes were very reserved, but the seat originally occupied by Chen Yu was empty.

"Everything is interesting if you win or lose?"

Xueshi Lin didn't care about the laughter of the young masters around him, but kept his original tone and continued to ask Situ Hengnan.Next to Xueshi Lin was a young Jinshi from the new school, surnamed Wen Xian. It is said that the scholar intends to recommend him to be the next university scholar.The young man's face was still childish, but his facial features were profound, and his whole body was filled with a calm aura.However, Situ Hengnan didn't pay much attention to him, and regarded him as the first disciple of the bachelor.

"Of course not." Situ Hengnan replied.

"Why not?" Lin Xueshi continued to ask.

"If the two sides want to go to war, it must be because they can't reach an agreement, so they have to fight. Winning or losing will always attract... people will die, where is the fun?" Situ Hengnan expressed his true inner thoughts, and used a newly learned idiom .

Xueshi Lin nodded and said, "Ziheng is right."

Situ Hengnan was about to sit down, but Xueshi Lin didn't mean it: "In your opinion, why do the two sides start a war?"

Situ Hengnan secretly slandered Xueshi Lin's talk, but he could only reply respectfully: "Ziheng said it, but we can't agree."

Lin Xueshi's smile did not change, and he continued to ask: "Then why can't the two sides negotiate peace?"

Situ Hengnan scratched his head and said, "Because... because everyone wants a lot, they will fight for it."

"That's right, a conflict of interest." Bachelor Lin stood up, stroking the scroll, and slowly started to walk, "Wars have always happened since ancient times. The division of the world is beyond the control of us scholars."

Situ Hengnan sat down.Lin Xueshi was silent for a while, and then continued: "Benevolence, propriety, and sequence are important elements to maintain society. But not everyone has a heart of benevolence and knows the golden mean. Today's homework is to write down the There can be many explanations for the doctrine of the golden mean, you can also refer to the previous sayings, or borrow examples from life, the length is not limited. Do you have any questions about this?"

After a while of silence, Xueshi Lin waved his hand and said, "Then let's go."

Situ Hengnan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was stopped by Xueshi Lin when he didn't want to.

"Ziheng, I'm looking forward to your answer." Lin Xueshi stroked his mustache and smiled very kindly.

The author has something to say: Recently, he continues to update the past stories, patiently waiting for the growth of the two sons, and the aunt smiles first and respects.Thanks to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution~

☆, school (2)

1 On this day, Situ Hengnan wandered around the study room with a brush in his hand after practicing swordsmanship at night, thinking about how to explain the doctrine of the mean.

After poking around in General Situ's study for a long time, he couldn't find any relevant explanations, so Situ Hengnan was ready to write whatever he wanted.

"You can't even learn from what the predecessors said." Situ Hengnan reluctantly closed a book in front of him, and put it back on the shelf.

Suddenly, he remembered the mechanism that his father had opened not long ago, and his muttering to himself, so he wanted to take a peek.

After looking out the door, Situ Hengnan closed the door of the study, groped around on the wooden shelf, found the white porcelain vase, and twisted it a bit.

After a few "clicks", a square wooden board popped out from the bottom of the wooden frame, and a long strip box lay quietly inside.

Situ Hengnan carefully took out the long box and gently opened it to have a look.

The box is a bit small and old, but it has double layers.There are a few leaves or something on the surface layer, and a dagger is placed on the lower layer, wrapped in blood-stained silk cloth, which is slightly rusted.

From these things, he didn't know what it was, it was probably a souvenir of his father's battles, but his father didn't seem to use daggers often, could it be that daggers are more convenient in battle?

Situ Hengnan shook his head, thinking that he couldn't figure out what these things were anyway, so he might as well not think about it.

After putting the things back as they were, Situ Hengnan remembered that important letter.Some tiptoely opened the drawer where his father kept the letters, and Situ Hengnan took out the letter from Huo Feng's father.

Although he didn't know some words, he probably understood the content.

Father Huo wanted Huo Feng to stay in the General's Mansion as long as possible, preferably before reaching the crown.

Situ Hengnan retracted the letter after reading it, thinking that his father must have agreed to such a request.It seems that Huo Feng will spend a long time in the general's mansion.

At this time, the word "the mean" jumped into his mind again. Situ Hengnan rolled out a piece of rice paper resentfully, supported his head with one hand to think, and followed the train of thought with the other hand while writing pauses and pauses.

I don't know how long it took to write, but Situ Hengnan stopped writing as if he was done. He was so sleepy, so he turned his head on the side and fell asleep.

It was Huo Feng's shout that woke him up, he opened his eyes in a daze, and it took a while to realize that Huo Feng was standing in front of him.

"Zixin?" Situ Hengnan rubbed his eyes, and when he put down his hands, he found that his hands were full of ink.The brush somehow rolled across the entire paper, leaving ink marks of varying shades.

"Situ, your face..." Huo Feng pointed to his right cheek.

"Ah?" The bleary-eyed Situ Hengnan subconsciously wiped his face, making his face even more blurred, but it added a bit of cuteness to his handsome face.

Situ Hengnan hurried to the Wo washbasin outside, and through the reflection in the water, he saw a lot of ink on his right cheek.

After washing his face and going back to the study, Situ Hengnan picked up the rice paper he had written so hard on with some sorrow, looked it over, and still knew that he had to rewrite it.

"The mean is not to fight." Huo Feng read the central point of Situ Hengnan's tome in a low voice, and couldn't help smiling.However, looking at the following statement, it is still reasonable and worth reading.

Seeing Huo Feng smiling, Situ Hengnan patted the back of his head in embarrassment.

"That Zixin, what do you think is the golden mean?"

Situ Hengnan asked Huo Feng.

Huo Feng thought for a while and said: "Master said that the golden mean is an impartial way of life. However, I think that if it is put into specific matters, the golden mean is just an ideal attitude towards life. This is a Good reasoning, but not a practical rule. Everyone has their own criteria in their hearts. If they are in harmony, they can be close to the golden mean. And this degree is like the middle of two extremes. Excess and deficiency are two ends. When we deal with things, we will To compromise, this is called the mean.”

"Well, what you said really makes sense." Situ Hengnan nodded, and began to re-write with the ink, "Zixin, you can also write, so you can accompany me."

"Okay." Huo Feng stood up and studied the ink, then sat down and spread out a layer of rice paper, "I think you can change it here."

Huo Feng's voice became lower and lower, Situ Hengnan raised his head excitedly, and said, "Where is where?"

Huo Feng told Situ Hengnan what he was thinking little by little, and Situ Hengnan nodded his head in accordance with his words, and finally wrote again with a sudden realization.

After Huo Feng finished speaking, he sat down and picked up a pen. After a little thought, he wrote two pieces of paper in one go, no slower than Situ Hengnan's rewriting.

2 When Situ Hengnan was preparing to go to the school early in the morning, he also took away the understanding of the doctrine of the mean written by Huo Feng.

A few days ago, he heard that after Qiyao passed, the dormitories in the school were taken care of, and a group of them would be arranged to stay here "without discrimination".

So his small thoughts are also very simple, thinking that Huo Feng's father sent him to the imperial city because he wanted him to study hard, so it was a good choice for him to let him enter this school together.

So he brought Huo Feng's "answer sheet" and prepared to let Xueshi Lin take a look.

When he came to the academy, Xueshi Lin had already arrived, sitting cross-legged, stroking his mustache and annotating the papers before the case.

"Zi Heng came very early." Lin Xueshi raised his eyes and nodded to Situ Hengnan.

"Sir." Situ Hengnan bowed and walked towards the seat.

He did come early, and only the young son of the Minister of Rites and Shen Ke, the second son of the Shen family, were seated at this time.

The two of them just raised their heads and glanced at him, then bowed their heads and read the book again.

Situ Hengnan sat down and spread out the answer sheets he had brought, two of which belonged to him and two of which belonged to Huo Feng.The practice of his scriptures during this period can be regarded as a small achievement, but it is still a little crooked.Huo Feng, the "little master" of his handwriting practice, naturally writes correctly and gracefully, vigorously and naturally, quite like everyone, and it is pleasing to the eye.

Several descendants of aristocratic families and the young son of Ding Guogong came one after another.

And Chen Yu's seat was still empty.

There are only two other princes, the sixth prince Jingze and the eighth prince Lixuan.

Xueshi Lin didn't openly ask about Chen Yu's affairs, but gathered the scroll in front of him, slowly got up and said: "Today, it's for you to talk about the golden mean in your eyes."

The implication of Lin Xueshi's words is to let all the sons and princes state their opinions on the answer sheet one by one.

"Zijing, let's talk about it first." Xueshi Lin shifted his gaze to the right.

Originally there were many princes with different names, but now they have changed it. Situ Hengnan didn't know who Lin Xueshi was calling, but following Lin Xueshi's gaze, a slender young man got up.

That was the sixth prince Jingze, sitting in front of Situ Hengnan.

The sixth prince, Situ Hengnan, has heard of it. His mother and concubine's background is actually no less than that of Chen Yu's mother, and she is also a member of the royal family.It's just that this sixth prince was born prematurely and was weak since he was a child. In terms of various abilities, he is far inferior to the talented Chen Yu in the limelight.

Although he was slender, his back was very straight, which left a deep impression on Situ Hengnan.

"The golden mean is a compromise and harmonious attitude in life." Jing Ze's voice was not high, but just happened to be heard by everyone, "meaning neutrality and peace, human beings have joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. If there is any extreme in it , it will lose its neutrality, and it will be difficult to survive forever.”

Then he explained in detail how to deal with the problem of too much joy and too much anger.When Xueshi Lin heard it, his eyebrows and eyes were full of approval.

After the sixth prince was the eighth prince, his point of view was the same, and the examples he gave were different. After hearing this, Xueshi Lin also expressed his approval.

Shen Ke cuts in from the perspective of each person's duty to clarify the major functions of the golden mean, and the pattern is placed on society.

The views of the latter few people are mostly similar, but the examples given are slightly different.

But Xueshi Lin seemed to put Situ Hengnan last on purpose.

"Ziheng, tell me." Xueshi Lin walked up and down to the side where Situ Hengnan was.

"The mean is not to fight." As soon as the first sentence came out, Situ Hengnan heard the voice of Duke Ding's young prince holding back his laughter.

Situ Hengnan paused for a moment, then continued: "The conflicts between the two parties are irreconcilable, and when interests conflict, they will use the violence of war to win interests. Interest is a kind of desire, and wanting to win is also a kind of desire. Excessive desire is indulgence. Both indulgence and abstinence are bigotry, and they are the two undesirable ends of the golden mean."

Then Situ Hengnan gave a few more examples, and Xueshi Lin nodded his head one by one.After answering, several young masters couldn't help applauding.

"That's right, your point of view is quite special." Lin Xueshi smiled with satisfaction, "Will anyone give advice?"

Huh?He heard it wasn't all his doing?

That's just as well!

Situ Hengnan cleared his throat, and then replied respectfully: "To be honest, sir, I have a little teacher who practiced calligraphy, and he helped me reorganize my views yesterday."

"The other two answer sheets on your desk belong to your little gentleman?" Xueshi Lin walked over with a smile on his eyes, raised his sleeves and pointed at the answer sheet on Situ Hengnan's desk.

"Exactly." Situ Hengnan held up the answer sheet respectfully.

Lin Xueshi took the answer sheet, and while stroking his mustache, browsed through the contents of the answer sheet, praising him again and again.

"Yes, internal cultivation, a person should have a spiritual world; external, physical and mental health, career development, and a firm direction. Abstinence and indulgence are both paranoid." Lin Xueshi repeated the content, "You little gentleman, it's really Very opinionated too.”

"Sir, I have heard that the academy recruits talented students from all over the world. Can this little gentleman also come to the academy?" Situ Hengnan looked expectantly at Bachelor Lin.

Lin Xueshi didn't agree, nor refused, but there were cynical voices around him.

"A mere book boy, Mr. Situ has a lot of face." The one who made a fuss was Ding Guogong Xiaoshizi.

Situ Hengnan knew that his father Ding Guogong had compared him with him, the son of the general of Zhen Guo, since he was a child, and he had accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction since he was a child. He must be the one who took the lead in pouring cold water on him.

"That's right, none of the prince's companions came." Several young masters whispered to each other.

"In the school, we don't talk about status or inferiority." Lin Xueshi's voice was very calm, but his face was suddenly a little melancholy, and he gently put down Huo Feng's answer sheet.

"Since we don't talk about status, why do we reject people who are not noble?" Situ Hengnan was a little anxious, so he said it bluntly.

"Ziheng, there are many poor but well-read poets in the world, but not everyone has the opportunity to enter this school." Lin Xueshi was not angry, "If you want your little gentleman to come with you, can you Father is going to ask the emperor for instructions."

Situ Hengnan was going to ask his father for instructions, but his father thought of this first.

"Heng'er, I will go to the school with you tomorrow when I am new." General Situ said to him.

"what?"

Although he was slightly surprised for a moment and felt that his father seemed to be full of guilt towards Huo Feng, Situ Hengnan didn't think much about it, he just thought that the friendship of Robe Ze was really very deep.

"Ah what?" General Situ got up, came over and patted Situ Hengnan on the shoulder, "The palace is not very peaceful recently, and the school is still giving lectures as usual, you should study hard in this secluded place OK."

"Heng'er got it." Situ Hengnan rolled his bright eyes, but responded somewhat disconsolately.

"You, you, your mother just said a few days ago that you and Zixin practiced handwriting together, and you have made some progress." General Situ rubbed his son's head, "Remember what father said, martial arts people can't just have Bravery of brute force. Wu Xia Amon can’t accomplish anything. By the way, don’t bring your saber with you in the academy for the time being, and be careful of accidental injury.”

"Have you stopped practicing the sword skills?" Situ Hengnan expressed a bit of disappointment.

General Situ smiled and said: "Daddy will send the wooden sword over, you should practice as usual."

"Okay, Daddy." Situ Hengnan also laughed happily.

"Come on, tell Dad, what did Scholar Lin say today?" General Situ asked with great interest.

"He talked about the golden mean." Situ Hengnan replied, "But today, Mr. didn't talk much, it's just that our students talked about the golden mean in our eyes..."

Situ Hengnan shared his own and others' views, and the father and son chatted and laughed for a long time.

When Huo Feng, who passed by the study, heard this, a wry smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

He looked up at the sky and thought, the sky in the southwest that Dad saw should be the same blue and clear.

☆, school (3)

Naturally, the furnishings in the school will not treat the children of each family badly.A bedroom is extremely spacious, even half as wide as the bedroom in Situ Hengnan's own residence.

Most of the rest of the sons and princes live in a room alone, and a few live in twos.

Huo Feng naturally took a room with him, after all, the bedroom is really big, and there are more than enough room for two people.

It looked like it had been tidied up not long ago, everything was shiny and new.

A few rays of fresh sunlight permeate through the round window, and the breeze blows a few clivia plants beside the bookshelf.A sundial stood outside the round window so they could see the time.

There are two hard tables indoors, as well as a desk and two low tables.Pens, inks, papers and inkstones are complete, and besides paper books, there are stacked bamboo scrolls on the bookshelves.

"This is... a book from a long time ago, right?" Situ Hengnan slid down the scroll of bamboo slips as he spoke, "Is it... from the Four Books? Ah, I have a headache."

"Madam seems to like to study these things very much." Huo Feng carefully brushed over a roll of bamboo slips before unfolding them carefully.

"My mother likes it very much, but she doesn't let me touch those things." Situ Hengnan suddenly remembered that when he was very young, he accidentally knocked over the ink, which made a scroll of fragments roll into black, and even the fragments of the manuscript were almost destroyed. I can't keep it.That was also the only time in my memory that Niangqin was a little sullen.Maybe it was because of the general's wife's hobbies, but also because of this incident. Although Situ Hengnan didn't like reading very much, he couldn't help feeling awe of these age-related things.

He prefers those strange books, which are easy to understand and easy to read.

Just as he was thinking, his stomach growled.

"It's already noon." Huo Feng glanced at the sundial, and the shadow of the pointer pointed to the grid at noon.

Some schoolchildren came to inform them before that noon was the time when all the students gathered in Dongyuan of the school for dinner.

When the two of them came to Dongyuan, it happened that Duke Ding's young son and several princes who followed him were also here.

The group of people were laughing and eating, but when they saw Situ Hengnan and Huo Feng arriving, they stopped laughing suddenly.

"My dignified Prince Ding, I have to eat with a book boy, really..." Xiao Shizi muttered in his mouth, but he didn't speak loudly for a while.

Situ Hengnan vaguely heard something and was a little angry, but he suppressed it and didn't say anything.He secretly looked at Huo Feng's expression, and found that he was as calm as before, probably he didn't hear it.

Because the lecture in the afternoon didn't start until the end of the day, after the meal, Situ Hengnan and Huo Feng went back to their bedrooms to rest temporarily.

The cool breeze is blowing, with the unique taste of autumn.The desk was in the sun, and the sun covered the desk desk. Situ Hengnan read the book, yawned, and finally fell asleep on the desk naturally.

When he woke up in a daze, the sun was dazzling, he rubbed his eyes, and he saw that Huo Feng also took a nap on the desk.

The long eyelashes are still trembling slightly, he is clearly a boy, but his skin is fairer than snow.

Are all the boys in Southwest Shu land so handsome?

Situ Hengnan thought in a daze, and then quietly watched Huo Feng for a long time.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that his heart was beating suddenly. He got up abruptly, and went to the window to calm down.

At this time, he was standing alone in front of the window, and Huo Feng was taking a nap again, only the small rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the scroll, it was really very quiet.

After about a moment, Huo Feng woke up, saw Situ Hengnan standing upright in front of the round window, and asked, "Situ, is the hour up yet?"

"No." Situ Hengnan turned around, "There are still three quarters left."

Huo Feng heard that, he closed the scroll and put it on the shelf.

"Why, don't you read it?" Situ Hengnan felt a little strange seeing Huo Feng put the scroll back.

"A little tired." Huo Feng did feel a little tired, so he took a nap for a while.I woke up just now, so naturally I didn't want to continue reading.

"It turns out that Zixin will get tired of reading." Situ Hengnan smiled naturally, "Fortunately, there are not only Lin Xueshi giving lectures, but also a practice field for archery and riding."

"If so, you will be quite happy." Huo Feng would also smile heartily, with a small crescent moon in his smile, which is a bit cute.

"Haha, of course." Situ Hengnan scratched his head, "Daddy also sent a special wooden sword, so it's not much different from the mansion."

In addition to some historiography, the content of today's lectures revolves around the idea of ​​the rule of virtue and the rule of man.

What Situ Hengnan was looking forward to today was the archery lecture after the lecture.It is not so much a lecture on archery as it is their own practice of archery, with a few military officers watching and occasionally mentioning something.

After Lin Xueshi left, Situ Hengnan was about to get up and leave the seat, but the young prince who didn't want to be Ding Guogong spoke sarcastically again: "Mr. Situ, you are treated so well as a book boy, I want to be your book boy."

"Oh? I'm extremely happy, but I don't have any space for the crown prince." Of course Situ Hengnan was not to be outdone, and responded unceremoniously.

Dingguo Gong Xiaoshi snorted coldly.

"I heard that this young master still rides the same red-maned BMW as you. I'm afraid he's not your father's illegitimate son, Mr. Situ?"

Dingguogong Xiaoshizi spoke seriously, and several people present have already started whispering.

Situ Hengnan was so angry that before he could speak, Huo Feng raised the inkstone and splashed ink on it.

Dingguo Gong's young son obviously didn't realize what happened, but Huo Feng's chest heaved violently, his face flushed a little, he was obviously very angry, and said word by word: "My father's name is Huo Mingping."

This was the first time Situ Hengnan saw Huo Feng angry.

It was the only time in many years later.

When Situ Hengnan realized what had happened, he picked up the inkstone beside him and poured ink on it, and immediately stood in front of Huo Feng and said, "My son's words are not very pleasant, smell the ink and calm down."

After finishing speaking, he took Huo Feng's somewhat cold hand and left in a hurry, leaving those few people making noise in the hall.

After walking away, Huo Feng took the initiative to let go of Situ Hengnan's hand, lowered his head, and said with a blushing face, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, after all, the little prince is used to pride and has always been hated by others, but he will also be afraid of my general's mansion, and he was the one who talked nonsense first, at most he yelled for a few days, and he would not really do it. Something." Situ Hengnan comforted Huo Feng, but he wasn't quite sure, so he poured ink on it himself.If other people spread the word, Huo Feng will not be the only one.

"But I... after all, I'm not you." Huo Feng lost his anger, his face was full of guilt, "I'm sorry."

Situ Hengnan patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

"It would be the same if it were me." Situ Hengnan continued.

Situ Hengnan thought, although Huo Feng in front of him was not as calm as usual, but he was actually a little different.

Because I can also lose my temper, so... more real?

He couldn't find a suitable adjective in his heart.

Because of the unhappiness earlier, not many people went to the archery range in the afternoon.

Those who arrived at the archery range basically left the lecture hall early, unaware of the previous incident.

"Hey, isn't Duke Ding's youngest son the most fond of archery? Why didn't you come?" an uninformed young master asked the young master of the Ministry of Rites very simply.

"Uh...maybe it's because you washed the ink off your face." The young master of the Ministry of Rites was at a loss for words.

"Wash the ink on your face?" The young master who asked the question blinked his eyes, very puzzled.

The young master of the Ministry of Rites did not reply, but shot a few arrows silently.Seeing that he ignored him, the young master who asked the question also went to practice arrows by himself.

Shen Ke was among the few who practiced archery. He had been listening, but he didn't talk to him.

An arrow hit the bull's-eye, and his movements paused for a moment. Looking at the archery field which was a little empty due to the lack of people, he was a little dazed for a while.

The young man with excellent archery skills did not arrive.

☆, Daohui

One of the routines of the General's Mansion is to pay regular visits to Puning Temple, and the Taoism meeting in Puning Temple is naturally not to be missed.

The Dao Discussion Meeting in Puning Temple usually starts in mid-March of the following year and lasts until the end of March.In recent years, the Dao Discussions will be presided over by Master Jingzhai in the temple, during which there will be foreign eminent monks and some nobles who worship the Buddha to visit the temple.In addition to General Situ and the General's wife from the General's Mansion, the Prime Minister is also very interested in it.

This period of time is also a small vacation of the academy, but at this seminar, we will still see familiar faces from the academy.It has been nearly four months since Situ Hengnan and Huo Feng entered the school, and except for the holidays, it is rare to take a relatively long vacation.

Situ Hengnan took six sticks of incense and gave three sticks to Huo Feng.

The annual Dao Discussion Conference is not a particularly tormenting moment. Generally speaking, the "task" is completed after three prayers and burning incense with sincerity.He would only come with his parents on the first day, and after the offering of incense and prostration, his parents would attend the formal seminar, and he would go for a drive.Usually Xing'er is too young, so she is usually taken care of by an old servant in the mansion, but today Xing'er also came together, but she went to whisper to the ladies of other mansions as soon as she came.

In the first few days, many ordinary people came to offer incense. In previous years, he had many friends playing around, but since they knew that he was the son of General Zhen Guo, they all alienated him.In the end, he simply stopped looking for them.

After offering incense, he bowed solemnly three times. When he got up, he realized that he hadn't kowtowed long enough. When he got up, neither his parents nor Huo Feng had raised their heads.

"Heng'er, don't run too far. Youshi will wait for your parents here." General Situ patted Situ Hengnan on the shoulder and instructed.

"Understood, dad." Situ Hengnan responded, the general's wife also nodded, and Situ Hengnan dragged Huo Feng outside.

As soon as he ran in a hurry, he accidentally bumped into someone.

"Prime Minister Shen." Situ Hengnan immediately bowed when he saw the person coming.

Huo Feng followed suit and bowed.

"Hahaha, young master Situ is still so full of energy!" After Prime Minister Shen said that, a crunchy girl's laughter came from behind him.

At this time, two girls poked their heads out from a hall next to Prime Minister Shen. One of the girls, Situ Hengnan, was very familiar to him. She was his own sister, Situ Xing'er.

He was no stranger to another girl, she was Prime Minister Shen's daughter Shen Rong.

Xing'er was wearing a Qian-colored dress, which made her cheeks rosier and her almond eyes bright and clear.Shen Rong was dressed in a thousand grass-colored clothes. Although he was only eleven or twelve years old, he had a somewhat dignified and slim posture.

"Meet Mr. Situ."

Seemingly a bit ashamed, Shen Rong hurriedly hid behind his father after a word.

Xing'er laughed crisply a few more times before slipping to Situ Hengnan's side again.

"Brother, I want to eat meat sandwiches from Qiandao Street!" Xing'er was still young, and her big eyes looked at Situ Hengnan expectantly.

"No problem!" Situ Hengnan led Situ Xing'er, "Then Prime Minister Shen, we will take our leave."

"Rong'er, too." Prime Minister Shen rubbed Shen Rong's hair.

Shen Rong's face also turned redder, and his eyes were shining brightly, as if looking forward to it.

Even though he was a bit unwilling, Situ Hengnan couldn't refuse, so he just said, "Miss Shen, let's do it too."

The light in Shen Rong's eyes brightened, and he happily shook Prime Minister Shen's hand and said, "Daddy, I'll come to you later!"

Situ Hengnan and Huo Feng walked in front, Xing'er walked behind with Shen Rong on his arm.The four of them walked back and forth for a while, and there was an awkward silence.

"This is Mr. Situ's companion, Mr. Huo, right?" It was Shen Rong who spoke first.

"I'm coming down to Huo Feng, I've met Miss Shen." Situ Hengnan and Huo Feng in front stopped in their tracks, and Huo Feng gave another salute upon hearing this.

"I heard that you splashed ink all over the face of Ding Guogong's young son at the academy last time, but is it true?" Although Shen Rong is the prime minister's daughter, she is also a child with great curiosity, and she just asked what she wanted to ask.

"...Yes." Huo Feng admitted.

"Ahem, this was careless." Situ Hengnan explained, thinking that the prince Ding had been beaten for a long time, and he was just splashing ink. He remembered that this prince had done a series of tricks later. In fact, he should have hit him on the head with an inkstone.

"You are so courageous." Shen Rong seemed to sigh sincerely.But neither Situ Hengnan nor Huo Feng wanted to mention this matter again.

The group of four didn't talk about this matter any more, and walked around the street freely.

Shen Rong heard that Huo Feng always called "Situ, Situ", and never called Mr. Situ his son or young master.Even though they have a good relationship, it's always weird to call them by their last names.

"Why does Mr. Huo always call Mr. Situ as Situ?" Shen Rong didn't think too much, and asked after thinking about it.

Situ Hengnan and Huo Feng looked at each other for a moment. When it came to this title, Situ Hengnan never cared much about it, but now that it was mentioned suddenly, he burst out laughing.

Not long after Huo Feng came to the mansion, he has been respectfully calling him Young Master Situ.They are together every day, always respectful "Mr. Situ, Mr. Situ". He felt awkward when he heard it. He originally asked Huo Feng to change his words and just call him Hengnan, but Huo Feng couldn't call him anyway. Come out, every time the word Heng is uttered, my face turns red, but I can't call "Heng Nan" properly, and finally I choked out "Mr. Nan", and was mocked by Situ Hengnan, saying that if he is not a man, he may not be a woman. ?

But Tian always felt very alienated when he became a young master. In the end, he simply called him "Situ" naturally.So, Situ Hengnan didn't mind much.Over time, I got used to it.

"Anything." Situ Hengnan replied perfunctorily.

Shen Rong didn't ask any more questions.She didn't seem to be very familiar with the excitement on the street, and she would stop to look at the delicious and interesting things along the way, and bought a few small wooden things.

Seeing that Shen Rong was so interested, like an ordinary girl, Situ Hengnan felt a little strange in his heart.

"In the past, I only followed brother Ke to the street here to take a look, but I didn't go shopping carefully!" Shen Rong was playing with a small doll in his hand, and there was real joy in his eyes.The elder brother Ke she was talking about was naturally Shen Ke.

"It's not too lively here, but the Daoism Forum is more lively these few days." Situ Hengnan commented on Qiandao Street, "It's not as good as Appreciation Street."

"Appreciation Street?" Shen Rong's eyes lit up, "But the street that is very close to General Zhen Guo's Mansion?"

"Yes." Situ Hengnan replied.

Shen Rong showed a very expectant expression, and said: "I have never been there. My father has been strict with me since I was a child, and I was not allowed to go to places farther away, and it was not relaxed until now. Still, I still entrusted Mr. Situ blessing."

After saying that, Shen Rong lowered his eyes again, looking a little shy.

Hearing this, Situ Xing'er smiled softly, and said, "Brother is familiar with the delicious food and fun around here, so I can take my sister there."

Hearing this, Situ Hengnan immediately let out what he had said that he had no time in the near future: "Uh, I've been in the academy these days, so I don't go to those places much, do I, Zixin?"

He winked at Huo Feng.

"En." Huo Feng, who had been silent for a long time, saw his appearance, and answered in a chime.

"That's right, since brother Ke went to the school, I rarely have the opportunity to see him." Shen Rong also nodded, "But in the future
