Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 113
"My servant is Chen Zhou, and Shang Shui raised his son Wang Xiu." Wang Xiu's smile was as calm as water, but it was also a little stiff.

"It turned out to be from Shangshui, I thought. What, Wang Xiu?" The man was careless, and suddenly his eyes widened, as if he saw a rare thing, he suddenly turned to look at Cai Yi, and said in a fuss: "Second brother, this Isn't it Wang Xiu we're talking about?"

Cai Yi took a deep breath, looked at Wang Xiu in surprise, then looked at Shen Mo, and suddenly laughed loudly: "I didn't expect that the two authors of Xin Xue Zheng Lun are here, I really admire you very much." With a smile, he solemnly bowed and saluted.

Bowing is a great ritual in this era. Ministers don’t need to kneel and worship when they often face each other. Etiquette to the ground.

Shen Mo and Wang Xiu hurriedly returned the salute, saying that they didn't even dare.

The man smiled cheerfully and said loudly: "You two, please come in for a glass of water and wine."

But Wang Xiu had other thoughts, and said: "I have an appointment with brother Zhi, I don't dare to bother, I'll meet again some day."

The man's complexion immediately fell, and he said displeasedly: "I am kind enough to invite you two to drink, and you won't even give me this thin noodles?"

Silence seemed to be a little jealous of the other party, and forced a smile: "The Yamen was joking, because I have a deal with Brother Wang, so it's not good to disturb everyone elegant."

Cai Yi saw that Wang Xiu had the intention of keeping a respectful distance, how could he not know what was going on, he smiled and said: "Erlang, you go back to accompany the guests first, I have something to talk to the two of you."

The man looked unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey Cai Yi's intentions. He nodded, glared at Wang Xiu, turned around with an ugly expression, and went in to spend his hops and his land.

Wang Xiu is very wary of Cai Yi. Cai Jing is a well-known treacherous official in history. Although Cai Yi is not well-known and has a gentle attitude, he still wants to keep a certain distance. These children of aristocratic families are not easy to get in touch with.

The silent gaze was a bit fiery, as if he was very interested in Cai Yi. No wonder, no matter how rich the businessman was, no matter how powerful he was in the local state, he could not be compared with the prime minister.Besides, he also wants to get to know more young heroes, so as to increase his help in running the family in the future, Wang Xiu is like this, and so is Cai Yi.

Cai Yi looked at the two with a smile, and said warmly: "There is an elder eating wine over there, and I will introduce you to you."

Wang Xiu frowned slightly. To be honest, he was very unwilling to get caught up in the communication of Kaifeng scholars before the tribute, let alone having too many disputes.

Mo Mo obviously thinks a lot, he sees that Cai Yi's friendship is exactly what he wants, but he has to be wary of Wang Xiu's thoughts,
"The two are people who are in the limelight in Shilin. It is also fate to be an uncle. Speaking of Shang Shui Wanglang, this uncle is also fate. The uncle who admires the two of you happened to be eating wine in Baifanlou." Cai Yi Smiling, with a familiar look.

With a thought, Wang Xiu glanced at the agitated silence, and couldn't help but secretly sighed that the young proprietor, who was swaying freely in Shangshui, sometimes lost his composure.However, if you think about it, you will be relieved. People deal with people of different classes in different places and at different times. Whether it is behavior or bearing, they cannot be compared in the same day. Let alone silence, even he himself is not like this!An ambitious person will inevitably prepare a variety of masks and strive to adapt to various environments.

He was very frustrated, but tried hard to adapt, with an unpredictable smile on his face all the time, it would be nonsense to say that he was not moved by the uncle that Cai Yi said.

"Brother, don't let it go and have a look." Mo Mo persuaded in a low voice, he wanted to make friends in the past, but Wang Xiu couldn't do it without Wang Xiu, she was the right one.

Wang Xiu hesitated a little, nodded decisively, and said, "Thank you for leading the way."

"Please, please." Cai Yi was overjoyed.

What Wang Xiu didn't expect was that in the Guanyun Pavilion, the west building of Baifan Building, there were actually two literary masters sitting among the four people, and the other two also shocked him. Even if he was mentally prepared, he was also shocked The little heart thumped for a while.

Ye Mengde, who is gentle and pleasant, Zhou Bangyan, who is smiling and cheerful, and Wang Ang, who is serious and sitting in danger.

Wang Xiu's gaze was extremely complicated. Needless to say, Zhou Bangyan, a great talent, great love sage, orthodox of the Wanyue school, once shared a woman with the emperor, not only was he not deposed, but even became the magistrate of Dayuefu, and got mixed up with the emperor , when a person reaches this level, he can only sigh: What a bullshit!

However, Zhou Bangyan did not have that blessing at this time, and he was in the Huiyou Pavilion waiting system.

Ye Mengde is a controversial figure in history, one of the representatives of the Peaceful School, a classic among the classics, and currently a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and the inner picture of the Eight Classics.As for the other one, he hadn't slowed down to think about it.

To say that Zhou Bangyan and even Ye Mengde didn't have a strong impact on Wang Xiu, they didn't make much political achievements.On the contrary, Wang Ang gave him a strong shock, and made him take a closer look. On the list of champions in later generations, he was the authentic Jinshi of the Reform Movement and the number one, absolute number one opponent.

"Just now Shaoyun and I were talking about your heart, but now that the rightful lord has come, you have become taciturn." Zhou Bangyan Da Ye Mengde 21, although his official position is not as good as Ye Mengde's, his talent and name are definitely higher than Ye Mengde's, otherwise he would not be favored by Li Shishi .

Ye Mengde is about forty years old, but he is in good condition. He has a round complexion and three beards. From his appearance, he is only in his thirties. He is a standard middle-aged handsome man. Facing Zhou Bangyan's ridicule, he smiled briskly and said: : "The layman has a good mouth, but he can't argue with me. Taking advantage of the presence of several candidates, is it possible to turn the tables?"

"Do you dare to fill in a new poem on the spot? Within a hundred breaths." Zhou Bangyan rolled his eyes, and then smiled at Wang Xiu: "Brother, don't be offended, Shaoyun Wangnian and I are friends, and every time we meet, we can't help laughing."

Wang Xiu had a toothache for a while. Feeling that these romantic scholars are really unrestrained, she forced a smile and said: "The two seniors are free and easy, which is enviable."

Wang Ang observed Wang Xiu from the side, and saw that he was not excited by the high-ranking officials, so he felt a little apprehensive, and said: "Huaiyang is a large county in the Central Plains, and it has always been famous for Chenzhou purple. I heard that your Excellency is the leader of the test. , I must have the ambition to win the first prize in this subject."

Wang Xiu glanced at Wang Ang's standard southern face, and secretly thought that this guy was not a good guy, so he taunted him with polite words, and set up another trap, interlocking and meticulous.Chenzhou Zi is well-known far and wide, clearly saying that apart from Peony, Chenzhou is academically lackluster, and it's no big deal to be the leader of the test. It is clear that he will be given eye drops if he wins the first prize in this subject.

Be humble, just admit that Chen Zhou has no background, and accept Wang Ang's kindness, then he is too arrogant, openly challenging the world's scholars, making people laugh.

"Brother Shuxing, although Chen Zhouzi is well-known far and wide, Chen Zhou's knowledge can also rival Nanjing."

Wang Xiu gratefully glanced at the person who spoke. This man is not an ordinary person. Zhang Jun, a well-known combatant in history, has just passed the age of weak crown. The prime minister in charge of the four major regions.

But this sentence is very level, don't speak Tokyo dialect Nanjing, cleverly avoid the competition in the world, Nanjing has Yingtian Academy, and don't offend the scholars of Chenzhou, it is all-round.

"Deyuan has such a tricky mouth. Seeing that you admire the theory of mind learning, I think it is especially taboo." Wang Ang looked quite magnanimous, and laughed loudly.

Before entering the officialdom, he started to intrigue, what is this!Wang Xiu sighed inwardly. It cannot be denied that Wang Ang and Zhang Jun were heroes at the time. If everyone can work together, there will be no change in Jingkang in history!
Cai Yi looked at it playfully, and said with a smile: "If the younger brother of the Yan family makes trouble today, we won't be able to make up the scene, and I dare not come to see Uncle Ye."

Ye Mengde pointed at Cai Yi and said with a smile: "Good Brother Cai, in your mouth, I have become a martial artist who kills without blinking an eye, which makes you so scared."

"Hehe." Cai Yi seemed to attach great importance to Ye Mengde.

Ye Mengde didn't talk to Cai Yiduo, and turned to ask Wang Xiudao: "The study of the mind is inclined to the Taoist school, and there are Buddhas and elders in it, but there is a people's foundation behind it. The indifference and strong governance you mentioned in the book seem to be inappropriate. The place?"

Wang Xiu had expected that someone would ask, Xinxue is a collection of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and he also has his own views in it. It seems very conflicting, but he is mentally prepared, and said with a faint smile: "Gentleman If you do it, you will stand in the court; if you don't, you will retreat to the mountains."

Ye Mengde was not persuaded, but continued to ask: "Dualism and the people as the censor, isn't this pointing to ethics, how can scholars deal with themselves?"

Wang Xiu shook her head, drew a Tai Chi with her fingers, and said flatly, "Yin and Yang."

"He really is a wonderful person!" Ye Mengde's eyes widened, a flash of light flashed across his face, and he smiled gratifiedly.

"What does this mean?" Cai Yi couldn't help asking Zhou Bangyan softly.

Zhou Bangyan blushed slightly, and angrily reprimanded softly, "Don't talk too much if you don't know." Then, he lightly stroked his beard and looked at Wang Xiu contentedly.

Cai Yi curled his lips, looked at Wang Xiu with envy, and convinced Ye Mengde with just a few words, it was not easy!

A banquet ends happily. No matter how low the alcohol content is, it won't last one cup after another. Wang Xiu is a highly trained alcoholic, and he can't help walking. He and Zhang Qiyuan hired a car and went back to the cell. Fall asleep until dawn.

After waking up, I felt much refreshed after washing up. After reading for a while, I got dressed and went out for a walk, and went to eat something around the cell.

Refreshed, he strolled around the Imperial College, and by coincidence, he even met Zhang Jun.

"Look at the hurried look, where are you going?" Wang Xiu asked first. He was still having a drink together yesterday, and he seemed a little enthusiastic in his politeness.

Zhang Jun laughed heartily, and said: "Today, I have invited a few friends from Shuchuan to taste Granny Cao's meat pie, and my younger brother will go together."

How can Wang Xiu fail to listen to the polite words, he said it was nice, if you don't wink, you will be criticized by others, he said with a smile: "Little brother can't drink, I haven't woken up from last night's drink, I am going back to rest."

"Oh, we're about to enter the arena, so please pay attention to your body." Zhang Jun slandered Wang Xiu, but he was satisfied with his knowledge.

"Go, brother, the younger brother will go back first."

The two said something indifferent, Wang Xiu watched Zhang Jun leave in a hurry, then turned and walked north, passed the street between Gongyuan and Guozijian, and stopped at Zhuquemen Street, which is a bustling street , the largest night market in the south of Zhuquemen, there are many shops of all kinds, and there are no delicious snacks that you can't eat.

As soon as he arrived at the door of a gilt shop, he saw a person rushing out, and a woman inside the door shouted eagerly: "Stealer, catch thief."
