As the night darkens, the curfew is approaching. After the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info was busy dealing with Zheng Qin and Yang Qian, the prince Xiankan returned to the vine garden when the gate of Yankang Fang was closed. At this time, Mr. Song had not yet stopped, and sat in front of Zhenlong with his eyes half-open and half-closed, as if he was thinking about how to solve the game. He stepped forward to greet him, and Mr. Song raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then sent him away with a sleepy expression.

When he turned around, he heard Mr. Song say again: "In another year or two, Luo Niang should be able to marry." ”

Wang Luoniang can marry, which means that after He Cheng has been polished, he has begun to take shape, and maybe he can try Ming Jing next year. His foundation is very solid, but because he was not taught by his husband, he did not understand the scriptures thoroughly enough. At the same time, as a merchant, he has more knowledge of worldly affairs and many customs than ordinary scholars, and this insight is the key to determining whether to broaden his horizons. After Mr. Song's guidance, these insights were transformed into deeper thinking, which enabled him to grow faster.

"I will ask Mother Fu to prepare a dowry for Luo Niang." The prince pursed his lips, "There is no good goods in the north and south of the world, and there are no good goods that cannot be found." "Even if you temporarily scrape together the goods in your own shop, you can make up thirty-two or forty-eight dowries, and it should be passable. However, as he gets along with his two younger sisters for a long time, in addition to responsibility, he rarely feels a little pity, and naturally he will not deal with it casually.

Mr. Song suddenly said, "What about yourself?" The eldest brother married his sister before he married, and it was really not nice to say it. Your group of colleagues in the Imperial Historical Observatory are probably waiting for you to fall into the trap. "Carefully speaking, the order of the young and the old is also one of the etiquettes followed by the family. It's just that there are many exceptions. It's impeachment, and it's just painless.

Of course, Wang Zixian didn't take it to heart, and said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry." Even if the disciple is not married for a long time, he can also find a lot of suitable excuses. For example, let the dead Xiao Yang "die" again, and then keep filial piety for three years. Or, let Wang Chang, who has not yet died, "die" again, and keep filial piety for another three years. Three years and three years, even if you have to get engaged to the marriage first, the other party will probably take the initiative to ask to go.

As soon as his eyes moved, Mr. Song knew what his beloved disciple had changed his mind again, and hummed, "Go, go, go."

。 Every time he saw his disciples, he felt that there was probably no one in this world who was perfect. Others may think that liking men will be the only flaw of Wang Zixian. Only he knew that if there was no Li Hui, the king of Xin'an County, who was too resentful of his father and stepmother, and too vicious in revenge on them, it would be an insurmountable scar for the prince to sacrifice his life.

After leaving with a smile, Wang Zixian came to his courtyard. From a distance, there were several shadows intertwined in the windows, accompanied by low laughter of different heights, but he was not surprised. When he pushed the door in, Li Huizheng smiled and landed on the chessboard, causing the people on the opposite side to hide their sadness.

The spectators were He Cheng and a young scribe who was about 10 years old. Both of them uphold the gentlemanly style of watching chess and not saying anything, no matter how some people try to make them look at each other, they are also silent. If Zheng Qin or Yang Qian were present, they would have changed color in surprise - this young man with a handsome face and elegant manners was the person they had frequently recommended to the prince tonight - Cheng Wei Cheng Jiusi, who was also a first-class jinshi.

After pondering and meditating for a while, the bearded man sitting opposite Li Hui finally admitted defeat. He sighed "deeply", and was about to cheer up, and then asked Li Hui to play the next game with him, when he saw that there had been a change of person on the other side. And the man did not shy away from holding Li Hui's hand, and said with a smile: "I am one with Xuanqi, and I will play this game of chess on his behalf." ”

“…… It's late at night, so let's rest early. The big man jumped up immediately.

"What? Do you remember losing 100 games in a row? Wang Zixian squinted his eyes and smiled, "It's been all these years, it's impossible for your chess skills not to improve at all, how can you be cowardly?" ”

"You and Jiu Si, I'll just look at it." Dahan pushed Cheng Wei to him and sat down cross-legged. He looked at He Cheng, then at Li Hui, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, we are only concerned about the game, and we haven't introduced each other yet, right?" I don't know either of them! ”

Li Hui also smiled suddenly: "That's true." He came to see Wang Zixian in the vine garden, but found that someone had arrived one step ahead of him and was playing against He Cheng in the courtyard of Wang Zixian. Of course he knows one of them, Cheng Wei Cheng Jiusi, a rare first-class jinshi. The other was a complete stranger. However, this big man was extremely bold, and he obviously didn't know him, and invited him to play after losing a few games to He Cheng in chess. As a result, this time it has come to this.

"Xuanqi, Jiusi doesn't need to say it, you already know each other. This is Jiusi's senior brother, Fan Wu Fan Zhengchong. He traveled outside the Saiwai for several years, and just returned to Chang'an in the past two days. "I mentioned to you that when I traveled in those two years, I met their brothers and sisters in Lingnan Road. Because they were like each other at first sight, they couldn't bear to be separated, so they met again in Chang'an. ”

Li Hui did hear him mention that Cheng Wei was an old man. Therefore, after hearing many rumors about Cheng Wei's grievances, he never said anything more. It seems that Cheng Wei and Wang Zixian are indeed drifting apart, and they have never met in private in the past year, but who can know that this is just an appearance to confuse others? Even if they never met, they corresponded in private almost every few days. The movements of Yang Qian and the Yang family gradually fell into Cheng Wei's eyes.

The prince said with a straight face: "Jiusi, Zhengchong, this is my companion Li Hui and Li Xuanqi in this life." This is my junior brother He Cheng. He Cheng still has no words, and after he gets married, Mr. Song will remember to give him a word. However, Wang Zixian could already predict that his husband was very likely to give him what kind of words. After all, they are brothers, and their styles must naturally be consistent.

Hearing the word "couple", Fan Wu was stunned, and Cheng Wei couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Even He Cheng, who had known about it for a long time, couldn't help but cough lightly.

"Wait, this ...... Is it the king of Xin'anjun? Fan Wu looked at the handsome young man in front of him with some hesitation, could it be that he looked away? This is a little lady in her husband's clothes? "Isn't it really the county lord of Xin'an?"

"......" Li Hui raised his eyebrows, "In Brother Zhengchong's opinion, what point do I look like the county lord?" "Is there a little lady born as tall as him? There is no trace of weakness in his body, no matter who looks at him, it is impossible to think of him as a little lady. What's more, Xin'an is a county, and Xin'an is a county, as long as people who are familiar with the map will never be mistaken

"......" Fan Wu scratched his head and looked at Cheng Wei for help. The little ladies outside the plug are all tall, tall and fit. How did he know that there was no such little lady in Chang'an?

Cheng Wei had to sigh and apologize: "Senior brother is straightforward, he offended the king, and he hopes that the king Haihan." Even after he stayed in Chang'an for more than a year, he didn't know that there was such a deep "friendship" between his friend and the king of Xin'an County - he thought that they were just acquaintances, but who knew that there was another truth hidden behind it?

Li Hui naturally wouldn't take such a trivial matter to heart. What's more, the performance of these two people is already considered "flat". They may face even more violent storms in the future, but what are these misunderstandings?

After a few words of greeting each other, they finally became a little familiar. After all, there was a friendship in the previous game of chess, and everyone quickly found Fang Cai's deed. Wang Zixian also mentioned the meeting with Zheng Qin and Yang Qian: "Since they all want to recommend Jiusi, presumably supervising the imperial history should be in Jiusi's bag." ”

"It's rare for both of them to be generous." Cheng Wei said, "It's okay, I can finally stay away from the Yang family, and I don't have to watch their unconcealed ambitions, let alone waste time in those literary meetings." Yang Qian is narrow-minded and will never allow anyone to steal his limelight in any form. But if he doesn't show his talents, he will be despised again. This year, he has had a really hard time.

"It's too condescending to let you stay by Yang Qian's side all the time." The prince smiled and said, "It's better to become an emperor like me and concentrate on planning for the future." As for the Yang family, it is enough to maintain a relationship with them, otherwise it will definitely become a stepping stone for Yang Qian. ”

"I'll save it." Cheng Wei continued, "Since the Yang family has a bad heart, they naturally won't trust others easily. In particular, Yang Shi respects the old man and calculates, and he never forgets to beat Yang Qian all the time, many things are just secret talks between father and son, and he will never tell anyone. Instead of following them and waiting for their opportunity to give alms, it is better to see the opportunity to move up. After all, in their minds, I was probably just a slightly more talented speculator. ”

"You spent a year in vain, and you only followed behind the Yang family?" Fan Wu snorted, "I haven't heard any useful news, so what's the benefit of this year?" ”

"Of course it works." Wang Zixian said with a smile, "At least in the eyes of the Yang family, he is half of his own person." After that, the smile on his face suddenly became a little strange: "Jiusi, could it be that they also wanted to turn you into their own completely?" For young talents, Yang Shangshu cherishes them very much, and he can't wait to bring them all to his home. Speaking of which, there are still a few concubines in their family who have never been married.

"......" Cheng Wei's expression changed slightly, "Yang Qian had this intention, but I am a child of a poor family, and the little lady of his family may not be able to look at it." I heard that in yesterday's banquet in Furong Garden, Yang Jiuniang, who Yang Qian originally planned to say to me, had already fallen in love with a suitable family. ”

"Congratulations on escaping." Wang Zixian and Li Hui almost couldn't help laughing. The two of them thought of Du Chongfeng, who was still a little in dire straits, and couldn't help but glance at each other - perhaps, with the same "experience", Cheng Wei could sympathize with Du Chongfeng? If these two smart people can intersect, there is no need to worry about not being able to grasp the movements of the Yang family.

"What are the plans for Zhengchong?"

“…… Admitted to the Jinshi? Fan Wu replied hesitantly.

"From tomorrow onwards, you will study with my husband and my junior brother." The prince made the most suitable arrangements for some people who had no self-knowledge, "If two years later, my junior brother is admitted to the Ming Scripture, and you have not been admitted, then I will propose to the sage to open a martial arts or a system." ”

"......" Fan Wu was speechless.
