When it is approaching the twilight of spring, Shangzhou City is gradually lively, and there is an endless stream of people who go out in spring, and there is the laughter and laughter of the people everywhere. However, in the early morning of this day, the people who went out suddenly found that hundreds of scholars had gathered near the long pavilion outside the city gate, and it looked like a black ground from a distance. The scholars of the entire Shangzhou City seem to have gathered here, whether it is a family or a poor family, everyone is dancing with eyebrows, their feelings are high, and they can vaguely hear words like "Langya Wang's son" in the middle of talking.

Many curious people couldn't help but step forward to ask a few words, and then they heard these scholars reply enthusiastically: "This time, our Shangzhou can be regarded as raising our eyebrows, and there is actually the youngest Jinshi Jiadi head of the dynasty!" Or hand-picked by a saint! I heard that he is coming back from Chang'an today, and we all want to visit him! ”

"Don't be embarrassed, even I know, so what provincial test hasn't been released yet, where did you get the first grade?"

"I really don't know about other subjects, but how many people are in this Jinshi Ke Dengdi, it has long been spread all over Chang'an. The youngest Jiadi head of the dynasty, even the saint and the queen personally summoned him, so is there any fake? If you don't believe it, you can wait for another half a decade, and you will know if it is true or false when the provincial test list comes out. However, after Zhang Bang couldn't say anything, the young man returned to Chang'an, and you don't want to see him again. ”

"Really? So what kind of young man is this, which little Langjun is it? How old is it? ”

"I heard that it is the son of the side branch of the Shangzhou house of the Langya Wang family, and he was not visible before. As for the age, about sixteen or seventeen years old -- tsk, do you want to catch a son-in-law? Forget it, even the new son-in-law that the dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an City want to rob, where can we still be the little lady in Shangzhou? ”

"How do you know if you don't try? I can't say it, this little Langjun likes our little lady in Shangzhou! ”

Not long after, the news that the "Langya Wang Clan" had a first-class head made the entire Shangzhou City boil. People poured out of the streets and alleys, like watching the lanterns on the Shangyuan Festival, squeezing the vicinity of the city gate. Everyone stood on tiptoe to look up at the post road, and everyone wanted to see the rumored young man's head for the first time.

The tortuous life history of the teenager is also constantly circulating among the crowd: he lost his mother soon after birth, and his aunt became a stepmother, and soon he added a younger brother; When he was young, he often traveled alone with his old servants, and his younger brother was quite famous for his education, but he was unknown; Later, I somehow entered the country of Chang'an to study, and worshiped a little-known gentleman, but my younger brother worshipped a famous gentleman in Chang'an City as a teacher, etc.

There are also some true and false news mixed in, which has caused many people to think about it carefully. Don't say that it is an official family or a big family, but it is just an ordinary person, and it has also experienced many things in the family, right and wrong. If you are clever and intelligent, how can you not understand what is hidden in these stories after hearing these stories?

It was almost noon, on the post road from Chang'an, there were finally more than ten horsemen galloping in. The leader is a handsome young man dressed plainly, with clear eyes, calm, smiling at the corners of his lips, and a long body, like a jade tree in the wind, which is enough to make people forget the vulgar.

"Here comes the head!!" Everyone was carefully identifying him, and someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "This is the first head of our Shangzhou!" I've seen him before! He is the son of the Langya Wang family! As soon as these words came out, the crowd was immediately excited, and everyone almost rushed up like a tide.

Seeing this posture, Wang Zixian immediately turned over and dismounted, and bowed to them. Wang Zimu behind him and several Shangzhou students also hurriedly dismounted-it was the first time they had seen such enthusiastic fathers and villagers. Perhaps only the reputation of the youngest Jiadi head of the dynasty can attract these villagers.

"The foot is the prince of the new branch of the first head?" The soldiers who quickly surrounded them were the first to ask, everyone's eyes blazing.

Although Shangzhou is close to Chang'an, it is not under the jurisdiction of Guannei Province, but belongs to Shannan Province. In terms of the name of the text, it is not only inferior to Tongzhou and Huazhou, which also belong to Guannei Province near Chang'an, but also Jingzhou and other places that are Shannan Province. Now, a world-famous teenager has finally appeared in the land of Shangzhou, which shows that the cultural context of Shangzhou is faintly rising, how can the scholars not rejoice?!

"It's the prince below." The young and handsome head smiled slightly, and his demeanor was elegant, "I didn't expect that you came here because of you, and I don't know how long you have been waiting here, you are really slacking off." Whether it was a scholar or a dark-faced merchant or farmer, he treated each other with a smile and courtesy, as if they were long-lost guests, and behaved impeccably.

So, the crowd became more and more enthusiastic, and they surrounded him and asked him again and again. It was not until the soldiers guarding the gates came to disperse them, believing that they were blocking the vicinity and obstructing traffic, that some of them reluctantly left. Wang Zixian took Wang Zimu to apologize to everyone, and invited the literati and scholars to participate in the literary meeting held by him in two days, and finally was able to get out.

At this time, there were already good people who brought the good news to Wang Chang and Xiao Yang. Hearing this, Wang Chang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and quickly changed into new clothes, looking forward to it at home. Xiao Yang's almost tore the brocade in his hand, and secretly gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had to make a surprise on the surface, and ordered the servants and maids to hurry up to greet Da Langjun.

When the prince and the prince returned home, all the servants and maidservants rushed to say goodbye. Everyone's face was full of pride, as if they had forgotten how they despised this Da Langjun back then, and how they mocked him behind his back. Qing Su followed behind the prince with a blank face, his gaze swept over them inch by inch, so that they couldn't help but take a few steps back in unison, not daring to rush forward again. Cao Shilang was even more full of ridicule, and he didn't leave them any affection at all.

Wang Zixian didn't care much about this group of Xiao Yang's minions, so he went straight to the inner hall of the main courtyard, met Wang Chang and Xiao Yang, and made a big salute: "The child has seen his father and mother. This time, the child was lucky enough to hit the first head, and finally lived up to the expectations of his father and mother. ”

"Good! Good! Good!! Wang Chang raised his head and laughed, and hurriedly helped him up, with unprecedented love in his eyes, "Good boy! You have glorified the lintel of our house, and in the future, you will go underground to see your ancestors, and I have a clear conscience!! Good! Tomorrow we will go to worship our ancestors! You also have to have a good life to feast on the clansmen—" He was blushing and thinking about how to put on a big feast and what kind of guests to entertain, completely ignoring Xiao Yang's increasingly pale look.

In all conscience? If they knew that you were so stupid, I'm afraid that the ancestors of the underground would not want to recognize you as an unworthy descendant! The prince sneered sarcastically in his heart, and his face was still gentle: "Grandpa, the provincial test has not yet been officially announced, so I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate to make such a big fanfare." ”

"Since you are already the first head appointed by the saint, what's wrong?" Wang Chang didn't care, "Don't mention the patriarchs, maybe even the Assassin Mansion and the Governor's Mansion will give you a post, I want to see you." The more he thought about it, the happier he became, as if a path to wealth and glory was already in front of him.

Hearing the prince Xianlian say "it's not proper", Xiao Yang reluctantly cheered up, echoed and smiled: "Ah Lang is right, this is indeed a great joy, and it should be celebrated on a good birthday." Now that the good news has been spread, we can't say that the patriarch will come later, so we have to get the servants and maidservants ready. As she spoke, she looked around and frowned, "Why are you two the only ones back?" What about Jiro? ”

"The second brother fell into the water and suffered some wind chill and is resting in bed." Wang Zimu replied, his expression was a little cold, "However, although my mother is relieved, the symptoms are not serious, and I can't say that I will be cured in two days." ”

"They all suffered from the wind and cold, and the symptoms were not serious?" Xiao Yang's face was full of worry, and when he looked at Wang Zimu and Wang Zixian, he couldn't help but complain a little, "If his symptoms are mild, after he recovers, it will not be too late for your brother to leave for Shangzhou, why are you so anxious?" Can't even wait two or three days? ”

"Mother didn't know that the reason why we rushed back to Shangzhou in a hurry was not just to report for the provincial test." The prince raised his eyebrows slightly, "Actually, it's when Erlang was in the Hongnong County Mansion...... accidentally had some accidents, and the county prince acquiesced to his marriage to Yang Shi Niang. When we came back, we wanted to tell our father and mother and start planning for Erlang's marriage. ”

"Accident?" Wang Chang just paused slightly, and then laughed again, "The little lady of the Hongnong County Mansion wants to marry our family's Erlang as his wife?!" Good! Good! Jiro is really promising!! That's the secretary of the Ministry of Rites - the daughter of the patriarch of the Jingzhaofang of the Hongnong Yang family!! Good eye! Not bad!! Ha ha!! ”

Xiao Yang's family couldn't hide his joy, covered his lips and smiled: "Brother Clan can take a fancy to Erlang, it can be seen that Erlang also has a future in the future." Otherwise, how could he be willing to marry his daughter to Erlang? She completely ignored the unfinished meaning of the prince's dedication, and praised the prince Ling again and again, and her whole face seemed to be able to shine through. It seems that her son is the one who has won the first place, and her son is the most promising junior of the Wang family.

Seeing that the two of them were so brazen, Wang Zimu couldn't help it, and said lightly: "The prince of Hongnong originally intended to marry the little lady to the eldest brother. But because the second brother fell into the water with their family's Shi Niang, they had to turn to the ten Niang who came out of the house to the second brother. However, he also promised that he would definitely find a good little lady for his eldest brother. Although Yang Shijing has made it clear that he wants to be a matchmaker for the little lady of the Pei family, since it is impossible for his brother to marry a wife, he can't reveal this matter at will, so as not to ruin the reputation of the little lady of the Pei family.

Hearing his words, Wang Chang and Xiao Yang were both stunned, and they looked at Wang Zixian in unison. Wang Zixian shook his head and smiled: "It's also that I have no relationship with the Yang family, and Erlang has a relationship with the Yang family." San Lang, there is no need to mention this matter again, the most important thing now is to invite the official media to prepare a dowry and handle Erlang's marriage in a beautiful manner. ”

Xiao Yang then glanced at Wang Zimu with resentment, as if complaining that he shouldn't say much, but the corners of his mouth couldn't hide the joy: "It is time to handle this marriage in a beautiful manner, and we must not let the Hongnong County Mansion down." However, it was difficult for the clever woman to cook without rice, and after she finished speaking, her eyebrows were covered with sadness.

The prince didn't see it, and when he heard the maid report that the head of the Wang family was coming, he said, "Since the patriarch is here, why don't you take the child to see the patriarch?" San Lang, you come with you. "If Wang Zimu is allowed to stay and discuss those details with Xiao Yang, I am afraid that he will only be ashamed in the end.

A smart person, why bother with stupid things?
