Situ Chen knew Jia Amnesty's reaction when he saw a book, so he picked one and pointed to the title and said, "Of course it's not memorization, but at least you have to read it thoroughly so that you know it by heart."

Familiar reading is easier than talking. Jia She felt that his eloquence was quite easy to use, picked up the book, took a deep breath and began to read.

"Heaven's mandate is nature; willfulness is Tao; cultivating Tao is teaching. Tao cannot be separated from it even for a moment; if it can be separated, it is not Tao. Therefore, a gentleman is cautious about what he does not see, and fears what he does not hear. Nothing can be seen or hidden, nothing can be seen or seen. Therefore, a gentleman should be cautious about his independence. Joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are not expressed, which is called the middle..."

Chapter 1 of "The Doctrine of the Mean" is quite short, and Jia She read it from the beginning to the end in one breath.Fluency is smooth, but there is no such thing as sentence punctuation.

Situ Chen tapped on the table with his fingertips, brought the book over and began to help Jia She to punctuate sentences.

"Look here, it's correct to read it as 'Ke Li, it's not Tao', but it's ridiculous when you read it as 'Ke Li Fei, Tao'." Seeing Jia She's ignorant eyes, Situ Chen suddenly felt a kind of Give the eldest son the feeling of enlightenment.

That's all, since Jia She helped him make money, he should teach Jia She to read well.

After Situ Chen talked about it, Jia She found that he had memorized the chapter "The Doctrine of the Mean" unconsciously.Just as Jia Amnesty showed Situ Chen excitedly, Situ Chen poured cold water on Jia Amnesty.

Jia She must have memorized these things when he was studying back then, but now he just picked them up and reviewed them again.Moreover, Chapter 1 of "The Doctrine of the Mean" is only a little over 100 words. If you can't memorize it, wouldn't it be worse than a child who has not entered school?

Speaking of children, Situ Chen remembered that Jia She's eldest son, Jia Huying, was about the same age as his eldest son, Situ Che.There is only one child, Situ Che, in his house, but he doesn't know whether Jia She has chosen a master for Jia Hu, otherwise it should be very suitable for the two children to study together.

Jia Amnesty had already guessed what Situ Chen was thinking, and he wished his son could accompany the next emperor to study.Anyway, the father-in-law and brothers-in-law haven't arranged a master for Hu'er, so Jia Amnesty naturally told the truth.

"Not yet, but it's time to think about it. Hu'er will be six years old next year, and she should start studying seriously."

Jia Hu had gone to the palace many times to play with His Royal Highness's younger sons, so he was relatively familiar with the environment in the palace, and the rules must not be bad.No matter what Situ Chen thinks about it, he feels that Jia Hu is the right candidate to be a companion, so he directly proposes to Jia She that Jia Hu be Situ Che's companion.

"Goo~"

Before Jia She could speak, a bowel sound came from Jia She's abdomen, which was very loud in the quiet room.

In the morning, he came to the yamen after only two mouthfuls of snacks. Now it was almost noon, and Jia Amnesty was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.However, Situ Chen had no intention of eating, and Jia Amnesty was too embarrassed to directly ask Situ Chen if you were hungry...

"Pfft... Hahaha... Marquis En... Let's go eat first, and chat while eating." Situ Chen couldn't help laughing, he didn't have the image of a "cold-faced prince" in the usual rumors.

It seems that this is the fourth prince who wants to treat himself to dinner?Jia Amnesty ignored the embarrassment just now, and immediately followed behind Situ Chen.

There is a restaurant under Situ Chen's name, which is not far from the household department, and Situ Chen comes here to eat every day.Jia Amnesty stood at the door of the restaurant and looked around, feeling that the restaurant was opened in the middle of the yamen.

Probably because all the officials knew that this shop belonged to the fourth prince, so few people dared to eat here?

"I came here to eat, not to eat people. If they don't have ghosts in their hearts, what are they afraid of?" The location is so good, but the business is so bad, and the resentment in Situ Chen's heart is not accumulated for a day or two.

Jia She thought that the problem might be that the ministers' impression of the fourth prince was too rigid, and it was not so easy to change the impression of a person.

Gotta think of something different.

Except for holidays, Situ Chen came to the restaurant for dinner every day at noon.Even though he came earlier today, and there was an official behind him, the waiter didn't find it strange, and went to the back kitchen as usual to let the chefs prepare meals for Situ Chen and Jia Amnesty.

Before the food was served, Jia Amnesty told Situ Chen his immature thoughts.

This restaurant is located in the middle of the yamen, so it is impossible to make a lot of money.After all, the yamen is a place for business, so what's the matter if everyone comes here to eat and drink?

Seeing that the fourth prince agreed with his statement, Jia Amnesty went on to say: "It's better to change the route of flowing water. Don't make a restaurant, but change it to a place that provides food for the surrounding yamen. The price is fair, and if there are more people coming, you can make money. "

The idea is good, although it may be difficult to implement, but it is better than throwing the restaurant here for nothing and losing money.

Not long after, Xiaoer brought the food up.Jia Amnesty took a serving chopstick and divided a dish into several portions, then put it on an empty plate and said, "That's roughly what it means, make four dishes and one soup with meat and vegetables. These portions are enough for one person to eat. And one serving doesn’t cost much.”

It was the first time Situ Chen saw such an approach, and he sighed in his heart that Jia She's brain is so quick that he came up with a seemingly reliable idea so quickly.

After filling their stomachs, the two didn't even go out to the restaurant. Situ Chen directly asked Jia She to write a rough plan first, and then he summarized it into a memorial and presented it to his father.

"If you want to attract people, the price is reasonable. The most important thing is that the food is delicious. Anyway, the book has to be seen by the emperor. Why don't you just ask the emperor to send two royal chefs over. The emperor loves the people like his own son, and he will definitely agree. .”

After hearing this, Situ Chen nodded repeatedly. His father cared about his reputation very much, and his father would not easily deny such things that are beneficial to his reputation.

Before dark, Situ Chen's memorial had already arrived at the emperor's imperial case.

When the emperor saw that Situ Chen was about to run a "canteen", he inevitably thought a little more.Except for the prince born between him and the Empress Yuan, he didn't seem to pay much attention to the other princes.Although the family of the fourth son's birth mother, Shun concubine, was not visible, the fourth son was also raised by his successors, and left a lot of property for the adopted son...

"Kaishun, the fourth child's life is very difficult?"

Feng Kaishun served the emperor since he was a child, he was more courageous than other eunuchs, and he also knew the emperor better.After weighing it in his heart a few times, he bowed his body lower and said: "The fourth prince is careful, maybe he came up with this idea because he saw that it was inconvenient for the ministers to eat in the Yamen."

As for the fact that the Fourth Prince took a money-losing restaurant out to sell favors, although Feng Kaishun guessed it, he didn't say it sensibly.

The emperor had been immersed in the idea that his fourth son was very poor, thinking that Situ Chen's proposal was indeed a good one, so he picked up a vermilion pen and wrote a correct word.

Not only that, the emperor also asked Feng Kaishun to take 5000 taels of silver to Situ Chen's mansion, and by the way revealed to Situ Chen that Situ Chen was about to be knighted.
