Seeing that the Chongyang Festival is approaching, there are quite a few people in Guozixue in recent times. When it comes to Chongyang, we have to say that there are grand events such as chrysanthemum appreciation, climbing, and big shooting, which are particularly lively all day. In private, the students have already posted all kinds of chrysanthemum appreciation posts, big shooting competition posts, and climbing tour posts, and warmly invited their classmates to attend the meeting. It's not only a way for them to make friends, but also a great opportunity for them to invite names in private.

Whoever can win the first place in these literary meetings, arrow meetings, and poetry meetings will gradually become famous, and even compete faintly with those junjies from various states who were sent to Chang'an. After all, although the young people of Guozixue are of noble birth, none of them want to bear the reputation of being a child. Who doesn't want to be a figure with outstanding family background and literary talent, like the previous Yang Xiangtou?

In the midst of the enthusiastic discussion, the prince came to the study of Dr. Guozixue with the scroll in his arms. There was an old man sitting inside, who was one of the doctors of Guozixue. Seeing him coming, the old man pondered for a moment, and finally couldn't hide his love for talent: "Zixian, you have only been studying in the country for half a year, but you have been excellent in the exam." The old man thinks that you don't have to stay in Guozi anymore, and we can't teach you anything. ”

"Sir......" Although Wang Zixian had expected it, he never thought that he had not yet spoken, so the doctor thought about it for him. These days, he suffers from his lack of strength to protect his friends, and has already decided that he must leave Guozixue as soon as possible and be promoted to Guozijian. The difference between Guozijian and Guozixue is not entirely whether he can participate in the provincial examination at any time, but also whether he can find a suitable gentleman to apprentice to, whether he can win the appreciation of high-ranking officials in purple clothes such as sacrificial wine and business, and whether he can make friends with other Guozijian students and gradually establish his own contacts.

"Now it's the time to enter the national prison every year, and the old man has recommended your name and surname." The doctor smiled kindly, "You don't have to be busy getting into the office, just hone for a while and then go to the provincial exam." At that time, if there is another young jinshi, or even a young man, he will be able to make a name for our country. "Guozi Xuexian is fixed in September every year. Because many talented people want to participate in the provincial examination, only through the guò Guozi invigilation school can get the corresponding places. Therefore, the recommendation of Guozixue is usually before the state lifts the children to Chang'an, so as not to be in time for the Ministry of Household to review the provincial examination qualifications in November.

"Students will live up to Mr.'s expectations." The prince was indeed grateful, and made a great bow to him.

The doctor told him some of the rules of the Guozijian and gave him a name card of the Guozijian Division: "This is the old man's good friend, and the old man will be relieved to take care of you." ”

Wang Zixian thanked him earnestly again, put the name in his arms, and said goodbye. Since he has been recommended to the Guozijian, he does not have to continue his studies in the Guozixue. So, while the scholars were there, he visited another doctor of Guozixue, a teaching assistant, a dictionary and others one by one. Because he was born handsome, elegant and humble, and very talented, the scholars treated him well, and they told him a lot at the moment. He listened attentively and thanked them for their kindness.

In Guozixue for nearly half a year, he also made several friends, and Yan Balang was one of them. After sharing the good news, everyone said, "How can you not celebrate such a joyful event?" Tomorrow is Chongyang, why don't you dedicate yourself to the east and hold a show? Let's not go far, let's go to Nanshan (Zhongnanshan)! After climbing high and looking far, it is also time to make a lot of poetry. ”

The chrysanthemum viewing party also makes. However, now those chrysanthemum gardens are afraid that it is not easy to enter, right? It's been decided to leave a long time ago, and it's not easy for us to snatch it from them. ”

"Although it is the period of national filial piety, if we don't drink alcohol, we should not be fine."

The prince smiled and continued: "In this case, then first go to the South Mountain to climb high and plant dogwoods, and then go to the winding water." Although my family is not wealthy, it is okay to buy some fresh fruit dishes. Besides, let's bring bows and arrows, and if we have time, we can shoot again. He has never hidden the fact that his family has long since declined, and the friends he has made are also open-minded people, and they do not care about his family background. However, speaking carefully, in his mind, these friends are still completely different from Li Hui. The former is the one who can come and go, while the latter is the only one.

Several friends responded in unison. After thinking for a while, Yan Balang lowered his voice and asked, "Will you invite the king to go with you?" ”

The prince bent the corners of his lips: "After all, the king is a filial piety, so it is inconvenient to play at this time." Moreover, there may be a banquet in the palace, and he probably can't get out. For some reason, he didn't want these friends to know Li Hui for the time being, and he had a faint idea of hiding him in his heart. This thought was not purely to protect him, not to let him be used by others, but perhaps - just a little worried that he would make other heavenly pride, and that he would no longer be the only one who had a best friend.

After telling his friends about the time and place of the rendezvous, Wang Zixian simply packed up his belongings and left Guozixue. Qingsu was busy arranging the Double Ninth Festival, and there was only one Cao Shilang left by his side. He handed over the bag to Cao Shilang to carry, rode out of Buzheng Fang, and headed for the West Market.

The West Market is still prosperous, although the streets are wide, but the flow of people is bustling, rubbing shoulders, horse-drawn carts and ox carts gradually drive by, but it is not convenient to ride a horse. So, the prince turned over and dismounted, handed over the reins to Cao Shilang to lead, and walked slowly. Cao Shilang really couldn't guess why he came to Xishi, so he quietly glanced at him a few times: "Ah Lang wants to personally buy a gift and give it to the little county king?" ”

The prince bowed slightly, and said lightly: "I heard that there is a restaurant nearby, and the heavy nine-meter brocade cake and chrysanthemum wine cake are quite good. You go and inquire, buy some to try with me, take home a few bags, and send some more to King Pu's mansion to taste for several kings and princesses. ”

"Done! Go here! Ah Lang waited for a moment. Hearing the words "chrysanthemum wine cake", Cao Shilang's eyes lit up. The period of filial piety has passed, and it stands to reason that they should not stop drinking, but Wang Zixian has detained them for at least three months, so he now feels happy as long as he smells a little wine.

After watching him go away, Wang Zixian came to the Huren restaurant next to him, went up to the second floor with ease, and sat down in the corner covered by the screen. After a while, a young man with a girl of about eleven or twelve years old next to him slowly got up and wanted to leave. As they passed by him, they suddenly showed surprise and stepped forward, smiling and greeting him in a dialect from nowhere.

Wang Zixian also replied in dialect and invited them to sit down at the dining table. The Hu guests sitting not far away were all surprised, and they still talked and laughed loudly in Hu, almost masking their voices. In this kind of Hu restaurant, even Hu language is not rare, let alone dialect.

Because they speak in a remote dialect, as if they were in a foreign land, they are not afraid to be heard. The young man smiled and said, "Lang Jun finally summoned us to Chang'an, we have walked around in the past two days, and we are amazing everywhere, and we are almost dazzled and lost!" The prosperity of Chang'an is really worthy of its name. ”

"Brother was dazzled by the ladies of Pingkangfang." The girl grinned and said, "It's the first time I've seen a little lady wearing a man's robe, riding a horse and swaggering through the city!" It's really enviable. However, the rental of houses here is too expensive. For the time being, I have not been optimistic about the suitable yard and shop, and I can only spend it in vain every day, which is really painful and painful. ”

"I'm not looking for you just to run a shop and make money." The prince said, "Your brother and sister's ability is not just about business. The brother and sister's surname is Sun, and they were rescued by him when he was traveling. At that time, they were forced to sell themselves because of their family's poverty, so that their grandmother and young siblings could continue to survive. He bought the two, but did not make them slaves, but used them as subordinates and guest girls, put them in his mother's dowry Zhuangzi, and named them Sun Rong and Sun Jinniang.

That Zhuangzi was already barren, and it was the only place for his mother Yang's nurse and cronies, and it was declining due to poor management, so Xiao Yang never sought to take it. Unexpectedly, the two brothers and sisters were quite talented, and through various means, they actually made the grange gradually prosperous. It was precisely because of the two of them that he gradually had the wealth to buy off the slaves in the control family. Otherwise, there was no temptation by coercion alone, how could those servants be willing to betray Wang Chang and Xiao Yang?

However, the brother and sister are more than that. Another elder, Hesu, who specialized in training the tribes, also taught them a lot of methods of listening to information and acting in secret. Therefore, he later made them lovers, let them develop freely, earned him a family business, and secretly helped him train a group of useful tribes. Now, it's time for them to come to Chang'an and give them a heavy responsibility.

The Sun brothers and sisters became more and more curious, and asked repeatedly, "What does Ah Lang want us to do?" But by Alang's orders. ”

"Sun Rong, I want you to be a wealthy businessman and get close to the eldest son of the Xu family who married the county lord of Yichuan. Be a friend of wine and meat first, and with his convenience, you can also do some mutually beneficial business. is a friend of wine and meat, and from time to time to send him a few suitable tricksters, it is also a matter of course. It is enough to disturb his family and gradually gain his trust. If you can say a few words in his ear in the future, it will be of great use. ”

Wang Zixian knew very well that this was not a conspiracy, but a ruse. However, those who use soldiers are also treacherous. He has never been like Li Hui, a gentleman who combines knowledge and action, and disdains to worry about women. After all, he is just a hypocrite who looks elegant and elegant, but in fact can use all kinds of means. To deal with Li Qianniang, maybe it should be a hypocrite like him - since the enemy is a woman, then he is not afraid to use the means to deal with women. Moreover, Li Qianniang, who betrayed her clan and family, is the most suitable for her if she can end up betraying her relatives in the end.

Of course, this matter cannot be rushed, and it must be managed slowly. A quick knife cuts off in one fell swoop, but it's not as painful as a slow knife to slowly cut meat, isn't it?

When Sun Rong heard this, he smiled: "Ah Lang, don't worry, this kind of thing has been done a long time ago." Who doesn't do this when a merchant befriends a family? Beauty, property, and treasures are all willing to be smashed out to be effective. ”

"Jinniang, you are interested in making friends with the county lord of Yichuan, waiting for the opportunity to buy the maidservants, housekeepers and other characters around her, just pay attention to the news or sow discord a little." Wang Zixian said, "The family usually uses servants in the world, and it is difficult to send our guest girls in, so we have to buy people's hearts." ”

Sun Jinniang frowned slightly and asked, "Ah Lang, that's the county lord of Yichuan...... Now that the slave is just the daughter of a merchant, can she make friends? ”

"Don't worry." Wang Zixian smiled slightly, "Soon, there will be nothing around her." All that remains is your willingness to woo her, and sooner or later she will bend her back. It's just that this woman is jealous and vicious, and she is more cautious. ”

Sun Jinniang said: "Ah Lang rest assured. I've seen a lot of women with bad temperaments, and I'll never teach her to bully! ”

"If there is any important news, just send someone to inform Qingsuo. I will also ask Qingsuo to speak to you from time to time. ”

"Yes, I'll save it."
