It is rumored that Mr. Zhou Jiyan has always been high-minded, but he is unwilling to bend his waist lightly in the face of the powerful. The facts are not much different, this Mr. Zhou is indeed an out-and-out "celebrity" when it comes to talent and temperament. These two complement each other, one inside and one outside, raising his reputation even higher, as if he has become a character like Taishan Beidou in the capital.

However, Li Hui did not have a good impression of this "celebrity" who was held high by the Yang family. In his opinion, like Mr. Song and other hermits, he is poor and happy, educated, and carefree, so he can be called a real "celebrity". Mr. Zhou acquiesced to the Yang family's frequent efforts for him, and he was already suspected of selling his reputation. Every time he received a disciple, he was eager to publicize it widely, and gathered all the outstanding students from all over the world to select for him, and the honors obtained by these talented disciples made him rise more and more, which was also contrary to the way of Confucius and Mencius and Lao Zhuang.

However, from this point of view, he and his grandfather may indeed be called "confidants". It's no wonder that the two of them were able to talk happily and look at each other. Of course, being able to befriend King Pu, influence King Pu's mansion, and even secretly trigger any dangerous torrents should also be the original intention of the Yang family?

Looking at the two people who were talking and laughing, Li Hui couldn't help but empty his thoughts, and began to be distracted in a grand manner: every time there was a cultural meeting, this courtyard seemed to change its layout. It seems that the Yang family is indeed very good to this Mr. Zhou, and it is not just a pure use. can take into account such details, unless the Yang family really cares about Mr. Zhou, he also deserves it; Or, the Yang family tried their best to create an image of "respecting the teacher", so as to raise the prestige of Yang Qian and his family again.

Speaking of which, Zixian mentioned in the letter that he wanted to participate in the provincial examination next year. If a student wants to qualify for the provincial examination, he or she must pass an internal examination at the end of October, and then he can be directly recommended by the sacrificial wine. In this case, he should return to Chang'an in two or three months.

Even though they hadn't seen each other for two years, they exchanged letters almost every month. Therefore, although he was stunned from time to time in his heart, and occasionally missed him, he always felt as if they had never been separated. He is still him, and Wang Zixian has not changed much—even if there has been a slight change, it must have been expected by each other.

Suddenly, a chuckle came from the side, interrupting his flying thoughts.

"If those people outside have the opportunity to sit in this position, I am afraid that they will all want to engrave every word of Mr. and the king in their minds, and they will not be willing to look away for a moment. Among the many people who participated in the meeting, perhaps only the king of the county could be so chic and comfortable, and Du really admired it very much. ”

Li Hui looked back, and a young man in green clothes stood with a smile, with wide robes and large sleeves, and fluttering clothes, very clean and dusty: "It turned out to be Du Shishilang." "Du Chongfeng, the third disciple of Mr. Zhou Jiyan, was born in the Weimo side branch of the Jingzhao Du clan, his parents died early, he was raised by his uncle, and he has been famous since he was a child. He is much younger than Yang Qian and Zhang Nian, and he is only one year old as the eldest prince, but when it comes to wisdom and talent, Wang Zimu has always been ashamed of himself.

If you compare carefully, Du Chongfeng's life experience is very similar to Wang Zixian, both of them are side branches of the declining top family, but the luck is not the same. Not only did he sincerely care for his uncle and family, but he also obediently worshiped under the famous teacher, received the support of the Yang family, and the family completely got rid of the embarrassing life.

However, now that his two senior brothers are very outstanding and famous, he has not been willing to take the imperial examination for a long time, which has disappointed many people. Occasionally, I can hear some gossip, saying that he has exhausted his talents, and he is worried that he will ruin the reputation of his teacher, so he is unwilling to take the exam, etc. After all, many young geniuses are very likely to disappear when they grow up. But these jealous people didn't seem to think about it, and the young man in front of him was only fifteen years old.

It was still early for him to soar into the sky, so there was no need to be in too much of a hurry. Only after going through the grind can we go further.

Li Hui almost instinctively felt that this person should become one of the fierce rivals of his best friend Wang Xian. The youngest boy in the dynasty is naturally not easy to come by. In addition to Du Chongfeng, there may be many unknown geniuses who are eyeing Yang Qian and also want to knock Yang Qian down in one fell swoop and become a new pinnacle.

"I've never been interested in poetry and poetry, but the master and Hongru follow me every day to give lectures, and it's probably just playing the piano to the cow." Li Hui bent the corners of his mouth and motioned to allow Du Chongfeng to sit beside him, "Of course, no one has to envy anyone in the leisurely days of cattle and horses and horses in the leisurely days of cattle and horses." ”

Du Chongfeng's eyes moved slightly: "Listening to what the king of the county said, it is like an initiation, and it should be a big white." ”

"Think about it carefully, in this Chang'an City, you are the only one who has always praised me." Li Hui raised his eyebrows, "Others either laugh at me for not learning and not knowing, or ridicule me for being idle, mediocre and incompetent." Only you, every time you see me, you will say envy and appreciation...... I've always found it weird. ”

"No, the others just haven't gotten to know the county king in detail. In Du's view, the choice of the county king is due to his intelligence and keenness. While these choices may not be exactly what the king wants, he is good at having fun with them, and that's enough. At this time, the two looked at each other, Du Chongfeng arched his hand and laughed.

Although it is not hit, it is not far away. Li Hui narrowed his eyes: It would be a pity to let this person follow Yang Qian, and it will definitely become a big obstacle in the future. However, Du Chongfeng received so much favor from the Yang family, how could he not be used by the Yang family? Yang Qian's most proud arm in the future is this group of smart and clever junior disciples, who will definitely use all kinds of means to attack the heart and get their wholehearted loyalty.

At this time, I heard someone next to me laugh and snort: "It is worthy of the Du family, and there is still some vision in the end." It's not like those who have eyes and no beads, but they dare to say that my brother is not behind their backs. If I had been taught to know who had chewed such tongues, I would never let them go. ”

The two followed the prestige, but it was an eleven or twelve-year-old Xiao Langjun who came slowly with a young child. That Xiao Langjun was born very exquisitely, with a condescending attitude in his eyes, and he looked very arrogant. However, his demeanor made people feel very deserved, and there was no sense of disgust at all. And the child he was holding was only about three or four years old, and he looked very similar to him, and he repeated in a milky voice: "I will never let them go lightly, hum." ”

......Seeing this, Li Hui sighed lightly, "It's really not a surprise to see you here." ”

"Brother doesn't think it's a surprise enough?" Xiao Langjun showed a sly smile, and his arrogant attitude was swept away in an instant, "I finally managed to get a post, with ...... Twelve Lang slipped in. After that, he bowed slightly to Du Chongfeng and said reservedly: "A certain Li Shiyi Lang, this is my brother Twelve Lang." ”

What kind of character Du Chongfeng is, he naturally saw through his identity at a glance. However, the other party was Jin Zhi Yuye, and he deliberately concealed his true identity, so he had to treat him as an ordinary young scribe to befriend: "A certain Du Chongfeng, I have seen ...... Your Highness. It is more appropriate to call "Your Highness" than "Your Excellency".

Li Shiyi Lang smiled, as if he felt that he was quite eye-catching, and he was also a lot more pleasing to the eye.

"It's just that you came, why did you bring Twelve Lang too?" Worried that Li Tai, who was indulging in commenting on poetry and songs, would come back to his senses and expose the identities of his "cousins", Li Hui took these two unconscious "little cousins" out of the courtyard.

Du Chongfeng followed him not near or far, showing the demeanor of the main family. But the three "cousins" didn't have time to pay attention to him, one was busy stretching out his arms and pouting coquettishly, one was busy hugging and spoiling, and the other was busy giggling.

Du Chongfeng saw it in his eyes, and his eyes involuntarily fell on the smiling little Langjun - only at this moment, this noble lord would naturally reveal the pampering of the little lady. At all other times, she was aloof, arrogant, cold, indifferent, and quiet, but she was never so relaxed.

At this moment, Wang Zimu bypassed the path and met them, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Li ...... Eleven Lang? He called the name of the little Langjun a little loudly, and his cheeks were slightly red. In the past two years, they have only met two or three times, and they are still just strangers. Naturally, he already knew the true identity of this little Langjun - perhaps because of this, every time he saw him, every time he called his pseudonym, he couldn't help but get nervous.

"Wang Sanlang, I haven't seen you for a long time." Li Shiyi Lang smiled at him, and his expression was also very relaxed.

Du Chongfeng looked at them thoughtfully. At this time, two more people suddenly came out of the flowers next to them, but they were Yang Qian and Yan Zhan. When both sides met each other, they were a little surprised. Li Hui and Princess Changning were naturally surprised that Yang Qian and Yan Zhan seemed to have released their previous suspicions and got along very harmoniously; Yang Xiangtou and Yan Dalang were even more surprised that this noble lord would actually appear in the literary meeting, and they also carried another little noble lord who had been held in the palm of his hand by the saint.

“…… I have seen two highnesses...... Yan Dalang, I can only bother you to entertain these two highnesses. Yang Qian bowed and said to Yan Zhan with a wry smile. This is not only an extraordinary status, but also betrothed. Even if the future colt is not present, it is not convenient for him to entertain guests as the master.

Yan Zhan could only shake his head and smile like a spring breeze: "You can go in a hurry, there are still many guests outside who need to be entertained." ”

"Chongfeng, Zimu, let's go." Yang Qian then took the two juniors and disciples away.

Du Chongfeng and Wang Zimu glanced at each other without a trace, and found that Princess Changning's expression had regained her previous arrogance and coldness, as if Fang Cai's smiling appearance had never appeared. In the eyes of this noble lord, perhaps the handsome and gentle future colt was not much different from these strangers.

After they left, Princess Changning asked lightly, "Are you friends with Yang Qian?" ”

"It's just a face-saving affair." Yan Zhan replied, "Since he personally sent the post, he can't help but give him face." ”

"I don't like the Yang family." Princess Changning said again, extremely frank. She never hid her dislike for Hongnong Yang.

"I understand." Yan Zhan also replied very succinctly, as if he were a guarantee.

At this moment, what Li Hui, who was holding his little cousin, was thinking in his heart: It is really not appropriate to go out today, and dealing with people like Yan Zhan is the most boring. He could almost imagine how difficult the whole day's meeting must have been.
