Transmigrating into a book: After getting married, I found that the target of the strategy has chang

After Shen Mingjue returned to the general's mansion, he did not go directly to find Shen Mingyuan. Instead, after dinner, he invited his indifferent father to go to the lotus pond in the backyard to appreciate the flowers.

When General Shen Furong was young, he got drunk in a music house outside the capital. He had a brief affair with a dancer and was rushed to the border the next day. After he sobered up, he became a general again and no longer remembered the beauty.

When he brought Shen Mingjue back three years ago, he had long forgotten what Shen Mingjue's mother looked like, not to mention that this woman had not gotten a good rest after giving birth and was addicted to drugs. Her bloated body and purple face made him even more disgusted. But the woman was good to her own child and knew to let him take her away so that he would not suffer any more.

He made it very clear at the time that he had no feelings for the child and could only ensure that Shen Mingjue would have no worries about food and drink for the rest of his life. The dancer nodded and shed tears, and never appeared again.

Shen Furong is now in his forties and has made outstanding achievements. There is nothing he can ask for. He has not read much since he was a child. Unlike other generals, he is particularly pretentious. It is for this reason that his father, who has always been indifferent to him, agreed to go with Shen Mingjue to appreciate the flowers.

Shen Mingjue knows best how to please others.

Although he had lived in the palace for several years, Shen Mingjue still felt a little scared when he stood next to Shen Furong. The man stood there like a lion, and just by looking at him, Shen Mingjue's legs were weak for what was going to happen next.

"Father."

Shen Furong nodded, didn't say much, just waved his hand and dismissed the people around him.

After several years, this was the first time that this cheap son "fawned over" him. Shen Furong asked, "Is there anything I can help you with recently?"

Shen Mingjue thought to himself, the conversation was really ruined by just one sentence. If he said it was okay, General Shen would just turn around and leave.

"My son has gained something recently at Suixia Academy, and I want to tell you about it."

Shen Furong then looked up at him, seeming a little surprised, "Oh? Go ahead."

Shen Mingjue recited what he had learned in class: "The teacher told us an article called "On the Love of Lotus" written by Zhou Dunyi, a Neo-Confucianist in the Northern Song Dynasty. There is a sentence in it that I like very much, 'It grows out of the mud but is not stained, and it washes in the clear water but does not look coquettish.' It means that the lotus grows out of the mud but is not stained by the mud; after being washed in clear water, it does not look coquettish. It not only represents the lotus, but also the quality of people who do not pursue fame and fortune, are steadfast and loyal, and keep themselves clean."

He chuckled and said, "My son immediately thought of his father and planted a lotus pond at home. It can be seen that my father, like Zhou Dunyi, regards 'coming out of the mud without being stained, washing in the water without being evil' as his own character."

Shen Furong nodded, and his eyes were full of approval for his son. "Indeed." He pointed to a lotus flower in full bloom in the distance. "Look at the petals. They are so clean. It's a pity that it's already the end of September. If they bloom a few more flowers, the blooming season will be over."

"Yes." Shen Mingjue looked at his father's hands behind his back and boldly guessed that he didn't understand what he said at all. After all, everyone in the yard knew that his father just liked to come out to enjoy the cool in the summer, so that's why he planted lotus.

A lot of things said today made Shen Mingjue begin to doubt his own judgment. It was not that his father was indifferent to him, but he didn't know how to approach his child.

When he first entered the general's mansion, he was trembling with fear, fearing that he would be driven back for not being polite. However, no matter what trouble he got into, his father always turned a blind eye, indulged Shen Mingyuan to bully him, and always let the brothers get close. Does this mean that his father wanted him to take the initiative?

I heard from the servants that Shen Mingyuan's mother was a person who spoiled her children. It was because of this that Shen Mingyuan developed such a spoiled character. Now that his wife has passed away, General Shen is not very good at disciplining the child, so he can only let the child take care of the child...

In fact, just as Shen Mingjue thought, Shen Furong actually hoped that the child would take the initiative to get close to him.

"Having said so much, I am a little thirsty. Why don't you come with me to drink some water?"

Shen Mingjue's eyes reddened. He didn't expect that his father was really willing to be close to him. However, he didn't come here today to build relationships. He came to cause trouble for Shen Mingyuan.
