Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 33 The Chance to Be Bole Comes
"Damn Qin Xiedao, Mr. Lang seems to be a bit unfamiliar."

In the general's mansion, Qin Xiedao was really surprised to see a man who looked like a literati studying hard there.

The scribe in front of him looks quite handsome, but he should be in his 30s or [-]s, so he doesn't seem to be doing well.

"Your Majesty, did you save His Highness the Crown Prince twice that day, Qin Xiedao, the eldest son of Qin Shubao's family?"

"Exactly!"

Unexpectedly, he was still famous in Chang'an City, Qin Xiedao's little tail couldn't help but curl up.

"My surname is Ma and my name is Zhou. Thanks to the great love of General Chang, I have kept a certain person in the mansion."

"So it's Mr. Ma Lang, Ma...wait a minute, you said your name is Ma Zhou?"

Qin Xiedao originally had a few polite words with him, but suddenly thought of something.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, he was called Ma Zhou, and he knew one.

Could it be such a coincidence that this is the one in front of you?

Now that he is living in Chang He's house, it should be the worst time in his life.

As a guard of the Xuanwu Gate, Chang He didn't seem to have any time around him to use Ma Zhou.

No wonder he was so bored that he could only study there.

This is my own cheating, no, this is the best time for me to attract celebrities.

No matter whether he wants to dawdle or make a difference in the future, he must have a few capable subordinates by his side.

As for whether bringing Ma Zhou to his side now would make Datang lose a prime minister, that was not something Qin Xiedao wanted to consider.

"Yes, don't you, Mr. Qin Lang, know someone else named Ma Zhou?"

Seeing Qin Xiedao's reaction, Ma Zhou felt a little strange.

He is very self-aware, knowing that he has no reputation at all in Chang'an City, otherwise he wouldn't be so despondent in Chang'an, and he would stay for two years at a time.

"Haha, no, it's just that General Chang said that there is a talented man in his family, and every time he talks about things, he can quote classics and deliberate on ancient and modern times.

And whenever there is a need to write an article, you can delete the complicated ones. The articles you write are reasonable, and you can't add or subtract a word. Listening to it makes people feel comfortable and tireless.

In the eyes of General Chang, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Zhong Jun, and Jia Yi in ancient times were just like this. "

Thousands of wears, no flattery.

Qin Xiedao knew very little about Ma Zhou now, but it would definitely not be wrong to praise him for the good.

Ma Zhou was able to rise rapidly during the Zhenguan period and become a representative of the poor family, he definitely had a few brushes.

It may be the first time Ma Zhou has heard of these compliments, but in his heart, he should take them for granted, right?

"Darang's praise is too much, and I'm only fluent in writing, so I don't deserve such a compliment from you."

Ma Zhou said so, but the smile on his face betrayed him.

"No, no, I just stated a fact."

"I heard that Da Lang turned his hands into clouds and turned his hands into rain, and turned Tianzhu icing sugar around. Now he has become the largest sugar merchant in Chang'an City. All Tianzhu merchants depend on your face to live. It is really admirable."

Ma Zhou is also a smart person, he still understands business bragging.

The two chatted back and forth for ten minutes without nutrition.

"Ma Langjun, I have an unfeeling request, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

In the process of chatting, Qin Xiedao kept thinking about how to persuade Ma Zhou to let him hang out with him.

However, I found that with my current situation, it seemed that it was not enough to attract any counselors.

However, Ma Zhou is so down and down now, the Qin family is just on the rise, and it is not that Qin Xiedao has nothing to do.

"But it doesn't matter!"

Ma Zhou chatted happily with Qin Xiedao.

After coming to Chang'an City for so many years, there is finally someone who thinks highly of him.

"There is a younger brother and younger sister in the family, and now there is a lack of a teacher with a high heart and a talent in his stomach. I wonder if Ma Lang-jun can condescend to help teach him?"

Chang He has no children, and Ma Zhou has nothing to do in Chang Mansion all day long.

Some servant girls in the mansion dare not say anything in front of Chang He, but when Chang He is not at home, they will inevitably give Ma Zhou some embarrassment.

To be honest, Ma Zhou was somewhat moved by Qin Xiedao's proposal.

Chang He has no culture, and his future is basically like that.

It is unlikely that Ma Zhou will have a big stage to play by Chang He's side.

But Qin Qiong has just been appointed as General Zuo Wuwei, and has a son who has saved Li Shimin's life twice, so the future is still worth looking forward to.

In the past, the Qin family was very poor and couldn't afford to support any idlers, even the number of servants was relatively small.

But now that there is a white sugar shop, the Qin family's financial resources have undergone earth-shaking changes immediately.

Ma Zhou's heart began to waver.

"Da Lang, General Chang has treated me with great kindness, and this matter needs to be discussed again."

"No problem, I'll talk to General Chang later, and I'll make sure he readily agrees with you to serve as an instructor in the Qin Mansion."

Qin Xiedao is so smart. Hearing Ma Zhou's reply, he immediately understood what he meant.

This is like going on a blind date with a girl. After the match, when her parents ask her how she is, she will usually say, "Marriage matters are all up to the parents, and the daughter has no opinion."

If there is no match, they will say, "My daughter is still young, and I want to spend a few more years with my parents."

It seems that no answer has been given, but the answer is already obvious.

"I heard that Da Lang is on duty at the Xuanwu Gate and sees General Chang every day. I don't know what's going on here today?"

Ma Zhou didn't continue the conversation with Qin Xiedao, but asked other questions instead.

"Here! This is a fine wine I brewed myself. It's called Baiyunbian. I came here specially to ask General Chang to taste it today. Ma Lang-jun will also try it together?"

Ma Zhou had already seen the fine wine in Qin Xiedao's arms.

It's just that he always felt strange, what kind of fine wine is worth holding Qin Xiedao in his arms all the time, wouldn't it be fine to put it in the living room?

I have never seen anyone go to give gifts, but in the end they are carrying gifts around the mansion.

"I have basically tried all the fine wines in Chang'an City, among which Qinghe Cui's 'Qinghe Fine Wine' is the most wonderful; but I have never heard of this Baiyunbian. Is it really Dalang you? Brewed by yourself?"

Ma Zhou is a good drinker.

In the early years of Wude, Ma Zhou made a teaching assistant in Bozhou, drank alcohol every day, and didn't take his lectures seriously.

Da Xishu, governor of Bozhou, reprimanded him many times, and Ma Zhou resigned angrily.

It can be said that a disagreement is "the world is big, I want to see it".

"What kind of fine wine is Qinghe fine wine? After you try Baiyunbian, you will know what fine wine is."

"Xiedao, you just came here with a jug of fine wine, it's not enough for me to drink alone, aren't you too stingy?"

At this moment, Chang He walked through the pavilions and stared at the wine jar in Qin Xiedao's arms rather curiously.
