Shen Yi's Darkness and Depression

Chapter 323 What is the Tao

"Master, hurry up and have some food, and write later." Xue Qing had called You Chen once before, but was dismissed by him with a few casual words.

"Didn't I tell you to eat first? I'll finish this article before I finish it." You Chen has no appetite for the past few days, and the corners of his mouth are blistered because of getting angry, and it hurts even to speak.

"If the young master doesn't come, how dare we eat first? How about I pick some side dishes and bring them over?" Xue Qing felt sorry for You Chen's sleepless nights.

"Don't bother, just wait for me, right away~" You Chen stared at the table without taking a look at Xue Qing.

"The young master helped the fifth prince to copy the creed of governing the country again?" Xue Qing glanced curiously, she can read most of the characters now, except for uncommon or too complicated characters, she can't distinguish them.

"I've made progress again, and I can see that this is about governing the country." You Chen looked up at Xue Qing, he never imagined that an illiterate girl could study so hard.

"If there is a way in the world, the government will not be in the hands of the officials. If there is a way in the world, the common people will not discuss it." Xue Qing read it slowly, thinking about the meaning of these few words?
"Then tell me, how do you explain the truth in the world?" Youchen wanted to test Xueqing on a whim.

"It means that the world has a certain sense of reason." Xue Qing answered cautiously. It was the first time she was questioned by You Chen, and she was a little nervous, afraid that she would be laughed at if she answered wrong.

"It's not entirely true. The Tao here is not only a literal truth, but actually refers to a kind of order, stability and harmony, just like today's people in Dazhou are happy and healthy, living and working in peace and contentment, which is a manifestation of the world's Tao."

Like a teacher, Youchen gave an apt explanation of the Tao of nothing to hide. He still learned from Mr. Zong. If he doesn't understand the words, he should associate more with more analogies to master the essence.

"So that's the case. I thought it was just a matter of reason, and the people and courtiers were not allowed to discuss government affairs." Xue Qing suddenly realized.

"It's wrong again. What this sentence means is that in such a state of righteousness, there is no need for courtiers and common people to discuss anything." You Chen shook his head helplessly. The connotation needs to be further strengthened.

"Master, don't test me anymore. I'll study and understand slowly after dinner later." Xue Qing was a little anxious, after all, Master Yu, Hao Yun and Old Man Lu were waiting for them, making others hungry all the time Too inappropriate.

"I'll teach you someday when I have time. I have to help Brother Yan copy the books. He doesn't come to the school recently, and he doesn't ask for leave from the teacher, so he is punished in various ways, and I worry to death." You Chen didn't know. What happened to Shen Yizhen recently? He was very mysterious. He only asked him to help him copy the words and sentences, but he refused to say why he didn't come to Longyuan Hall.

"Fifth prince is also true. It seems that our young master is exhausted and thin. Sister Guan will definitely feel sorry for you when she comes back." Xue Qing knew that as long as Yun Wan was mentioned, You Chen would be very obedient.

"I don't know when my sister will come back? Is today the tenth day?" You Chen pouted and muttered.

"Sister Guan promised the young master that she will be back within ten days. I guess they are already on their way back." Xueqing spends a lot of time with You Chen in recent days, maybe Yun Wan is not around, she just needs to take good care of her You Chen can do it.

"Did you receive the news from my sister?" You Chen was puzzled.

"No, but I think they're coming soon." Xue Qing understood Yun Wan's concern for You Chen, so she would not be delayed for long on the way.

"Speaking is nothing, alas~" You Chen sighed heavily.

"Chen'er, who's talking doesn't count?" Yun Wan walked in with a smile.

"My sister is finally back!" You Chen immediately got up and hugged Yun Wan, "I miss you so much! I miss you so much~"

"Guy Chen'er, my sister misses you very much too." Yun Wan patted You Chen's shoulder lightly and comforted her.

"You two partnered to hide it from me?" You Chen looked at Yun Wan in front of him, and then at Xue Qing who was smiling, "Hey, did you know that my sister is back?"

"The young master is wronged, and I only know about it." Xue Qing innocently said.

"Then why aren't you surprised at all?" You Chen was very puzzled.

"I believe my master's words. She said that she will come back within ten days, so I won't have any doubts." Xue Qing looked at Yun Wan seriously, her eyes full of piety.

"Xueqing is good, and Youchen is even better. My sister is not here, are you two being naughty? Especially you~" Yunwan pinched Youchen's cheek lovingly, "It seems a little thinner."

"Master, during your absence, the young master doesn't like to eat, and he is listless all day long, hoping that you will come back soon." Xue Qing saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart. Fortunately, it is only ten days. She felt that You Chen would definitely get sick.

"Chen'er, what's on your mind recently?" Yun Wan realized that the corners of You Chen's mouth were bubbling.

"No, who told my sister not to take me back to Wuchuan, and leave me alone in the imperial capital to wait." Youchen gave Yunwan an angry look.

"Didn't my sister promise you to come back within ten days? If you do what you say, why are you angry?" Yun Wan continued to knead You Chen's cheeks.

"I just want my sister to be by my side in everything. I'm very lonely these days." You Chen complained that he didn't do anything meaningful except being pestered by Xueqing all the time. life is boring.

"Master, we've been running all the way, let's go have dinner." Xue Qing felt very uncomfortable when she heard what You Chen said. It turned out that he only wanted Yun Wan to accompany her. A word of miss.

"Alright, they are all waiting impatiently, let's go, Chen'er~" Yun Wan took You Chen by the arm and walked towards the hall.

"Sister, where's Uncle Cao?" You Chen searched around but didn't find the person he wanted to see, so he hurriedly asked.

"The old man is used to Wu Chuan, and he doesn't want to bother to come to the imperial capital. My sister's repeated persuasion is useless." Yun Wan couldn't resist Cao Butler's insistence.

"I want to go back with you, but you refuse to let me go. You promised me to take Uncle Cao over, so I reluctantly agreed. That's good..." You Chen spoke in a very displeased tone.

"Chen'er..." Yun Wan was speechless.

"Youchen, don't be the same as my master. Each of us has persuaded Uncle Cao. It is his own choice, and you should respect it, right? Right, Ruoli?" Ze Fenglin rushed to Ruoli. After all, it is easier for people of the same age to communicate.

"Yes, young master, Steward Cao is getting old and cannot leave Wuchuan for a while, but he promised his master that he will definitely come to the imperial capital when he gets married, and Mr. Lin has promised to return to Wuchuan to pick him up at that time." Ruoli said firmly.

"Okay, I just miss Uncle Cao, Sister Wan, I'm too impatient, don't be angry." You Chen regretted her impatience again.

The way of the world is bliss. Fortunately, the court enjoys happiness, and the most important thing is the happiness of the people.
