141.Chapter 141
This year's provincial examination is still going on, but the scribes who come to the observation deck are becoming scarcer and less concerned than before. There is no other reason, since the junior head of the Jinshi Department has been born, the remaining subjects have been difficult to arouse everyone's interest. If the Jinshi department wins the top position in the Jinshi department, how can it be compared with the Ming Jing, the Ming Law and other disciplines? Compared with him, all the other Chang Ke heads are like fireflies competing with the bright moon, what is the point?
This seventeen-year-old boy not only has the age and talent that everyone can praise, but also has a top-notch family background, handsome and outstanding appearance, and a gentle and calm temperament. As a child of the Langya Wang family, although he was a student of Guozijian at a young age, he had left Chang'an for a period of time and was always unknown. He was even caught up in rumors and almost ruined his future, but now he has become famous all over the world.
Burdened with such twists and turns, this prince Xian is naturally more eye-catching and legendary than Yang Qian, another young leader of the Jiadi a few years ago, and it is also more inspiring, and it is even more inspiring to many children of declining families and even children of poor families.
For example, Yang Qian was also born in a family of gate valves, Yang Qian was born in the Hongnong County Mansion, and Wang Zixian came from the side branch of the Shangzhou house of the declining Langya Wang family. Yang Qian has been worshiped by Mr. Zhou Jiyan Zhou as a teacher since he was a child, and studied in Guozixue and Guozijian for several years, but Wang Zixian only had the opportunity to enter Guozixue after arriving in Chang'an, and then re-entered Guozijian, and worshiped Mr. Song Kesong, who was the chief bookkeeper of Guozijian, as his teacher. He came to Chang'an to study with his husband, and it was only four or five years since he was full. In a short period of time, he was able to get the first grade, which is a miracle.
Not to mention, Yang Qian was already in his twenties when he won the title, and he married a wife and had children a long time ago. And Wang Zixian is still young and has not yet married - now, almost the entire little ladies in Chang'an City are eager to "catch a son-in-law under the list", get a handsome man with a promising future, and achieve a good story with eyebrows. As a result, countless old fathers-in-law are gearing up, ready to arrest the new son-in-law back to their homes in one fell swoop.
The huge Chang'an City is lively because of this new branch leader, and Yankangfang Vine Garden is even more visitor, and all kinds of people come to visit every day.
At the beginning, Mr. Song still felt honored, smiling every day, and was very considerate to every guest. However, when there were more and more guests, and many of them were obviously not interested in drinking, and tried to get involved in the prince's marriage, he simply closed the door and threw out the disciples who would only cause him trouble.
Wang Zixian was very helpless, so he had to make an appointment with some like-minded scholars to meet friends in a nearby temple. He never asks about his background, let alone fame, and the most important thing is that he has a similar temperament. And there are no rules for the cultural meeting, you can come at any time, you can leave at any time, no one picks you up and sends it, and it is very free. There is no limit to the topics to be discussed, as long as you are interested in together, or sing harmony, or debate, you are free.
Friends in the former Guozi School, such as Yan Hachiro and others, who had stayed in the vine garden some time ago, and the scholars from the poor families who had recently befriended, would get together almost every day, and the friendship between them became deeper and deeper. Many of the scholars who came to join them every day, or they were infected and gradually tried to join them, or they sat silently and studied seriously, or they felt that they were too casual and left.
In just a few days, hundreds of people gathered around Wang Zixian. Compared with Yang Qian, who had thousands of people raising his arms as soon as he ascended the heights, these hundreds of people did not seem to be worth mentioning. However, this is only the beginning - the provincial examination has not yet been officially announced, he has not yet played a horse on the streets, has not yet become a flower explorer, and has not yet been sealed into the office.
The path he chose was obviously not the same as Yang Qian's way of managing fame. And those who resolutely choose to walk with him will gradually distance themselves from the fanatical young scholars chasing behind Yang Qian. His real companions don't have to be too many, but they will be more trustworthy and trustworthy than Yang Qian's supporters. Of course, his future supporters, if they only talk about fanaticism, will surely be on a par with Yang Qian's supporters.
He was still very young, and he had enough time to attract more people, and the latecomers came first, and then trampled Yang Qian under his feet.
As for Zheng Qin and his ilk, they are no longer afraid. There is only a person with a low character, and there are only a few people with a bad character, but it is really not worth mentioning. And if there is a chance, he will definitely solve Zheng Qin to avenge the rumors at the beginning. Of course, Zheng Qin and Yang Qian couldn't sit back and watch him jump up, and they would definitely have some schemes.
Just when the head of the new branch had begun to reap the rewards of fame, the king of Xin'an brought better news. It is said that Queen Du in the palace also heard the reputation of this young man who was popular in Chang'an City, and she wanted to meet him. Princess Yue, the county lord of Xuancheng and the mother and daughter of Xin'an County also expressed great interest.
The next day, Wang Zixian entered the palace with Li Hui and went to Anren Hall to meet Queen Du. Somehow, the news of the young man's entry into the palace came out, and there were many palace people and palace maids on the way through which the two of them passed. Some are just curious, and come to take a look; Some are asking for news for their masters and coming to find out.
"In the past, when I entered the palace, they were almost nowhere to be seen. I just brought you with me, and no matter where I went, there would be a few more pairs of eyes. Li Hui quipped, his eyes swept over the palace people. He had already been able to identify which were Princess Changning's spies, and which were Yang Xianfei and Yuan Shufei's spies: "I can't say, Yang Xianfei still wants to find a chance to meet you, my 'cousin'." ”
"A 'cousin' who is almost negligible in blood?" Wang Zixian curled the corners of his lips, "I don't know where the confidence of the Yang family comes from." Why do people from young and old feel that I must be grateful for their closeness? ”
In fact, it is not that the Yang family acts unreasonably, but that the temperament of this new branch leader is really peculiar - after all, almost everyone believes that the strength of one person is insignificant, and only the support of the power of the clan can be long-lasting, and the blood relationship is an unbreakable bond. If another person is treated like this by the Yang family, I am afraid that no matter whether I am truly grateful to them in my heart or not, at least I have the idea of mutual benefit with them.
And all our new teenagers think about is how to quietly let this greedy family perish. As for blood kinship and clan strength, it is really not worth mentioning in his heart. said mercilessly, except for the third brother Wang Zimu, the Hongnong Yang family and the Langya Wang family Shangzhou Fang people combined, they could not compare to a finger of Li Hui. Whoever intends to be detrimental to his loved one must suffer his revenge.
When the two teenagers arrived at the De'an Ren Palace, Princess Changning still led Princess Yong'an out to greet them. Li Hui handled it calmly, and the prince offered a respectful salute to the two nobles.
When Princess Changning saw him, she unexpectedly remembered the young man who was almost completely different from him, and her red lips curled slightly. Princess Yong'an, on the other hand, was a little unfamiliar with him, looked at him curiously for a long time, and said in a milky voice: "Sister, brother...... The first head is no different. ”
Li Hui laughed: "Of course, the head of the first is just an ordinary person, not some legendary fairy monster, without four eyes and eight hands. When Princess Changning heard this, she couldn't help but laugh more and more, and her flawless face revealed a faint red glow, like a peach blossom in white, which was beautiful.
Princess Yongan suddenly felt disappointed and threw herself into her brother's arms to be coquettish. And Queen Du, Princess Yue, Wang and others, who were sitting inside and heard them talking, couldn't help but laugh. Li Hui then led the prince into the internal audience.
Although Wang Zixian has never formally practiced court etiquette, as a child of a family, his manners are impeccable. Empress Du and Princess Yue looked at the young Jiadi's head, and they both showed satisfaction. The two asked some common words one by one, and Wang Zixian replied unhurriedly, and his expression was very calm.
"It turns out that you have two younger brothers who are also in Chang'an, but your parents and sisters are far away in Shangzhou. It's hard for you to leave home and come to Chang'an to study at a young age. ”
"Chang'an and Shangzhou are not far apart, and if you have time, you can go home to visit. Although I often think about my hometown and family in my heart, it is the right way for my sons to go to school. Jia Yan Jiaci specially sent his ministers and other brothers to Chang'an, so naturally he couldn't disappoint them. ”
"Now that you've won the first place, how can they be disappointed? Anyway, you've already sent someone home to tell you the good news? ”
"The list has not yet been posted, so I dare not rush to report the good news." The prince smiled slightly, extremely gentle, "The minister thinks that after waiting for the throne, it is not too late to report the good news." ”
The county lord of Xuancheng and the county lord of Xin'an sat on the other side, quietly looking at the young man opposite with a little curiosity. Recently, they have often heard people talk about this first-class leader, and now they have the opportunity to take a closer look, and it seems that he is indeed different from ordinary young men. It is rare to see a young man who is handsome and outstanding and does not mention it, who can safely answer questions in front of Queen Du and Princess Yue, as if he is close to the two elders.
Even Princess Changning couldn't help but think: even Yan Zhan had never been so relaxed in front of Queen Du. Of course, it is necessary to be respectful, but the natural sense of closeness is difficult to imitate. If the expression is excessive, it will become a pretense, or even cling to the powerful; If it's not natural enough, it's more likely to be off-putting.
However, the words and deeds of the prince are just right. Queen Du and Princess Yue were also not disgusted by this, and their smiles became more and more gentle and loving. If at first they were just to relieve their curiosity, now they have a point or two of thinking of him as a junior. It was not easy to win the favor of these two, and of course, it is not known that they may have other thoughts in their hearts.
Li Hui patiently accompanied Princess Yong'an beside him, and occasionally interjected a sentence or two. The county lord of Xuancheng and the county lord of Xin'an were also a little impressed by this cousin. When they were in the house, they had already listened to the countless praises of their grandfather and brother for him, and now they are carefully observing and scrutinizing his every move, and they have vaguely gained something.
