Since Wang Ziling made a "grandiose" vow, he really read books behind closed doors wholeheartedly. Those beautiful maids who had never left their bodies for a moment didn't dare to make a second time, and he only occasionally enjoyed the fun of red sleeves and fragrance. There is a person who does not know the current affairs and competes for favor, and he actually let him mercilessly lift his feet and sell them, which really surprised the always benevolent Wang Zimu.

Wang Zixian saw it in his eyes, but he didn't feel too surprised. When he was in Shangzhou, his second brother was a little smart, and he worked hard to study. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be proud of his fame, and Wang Chang and Xiao Yang would not have high hopes for him. It's just that after coming to Chang'an, he was dazzled by the prosperous scenery, and he was jealous that he entered the Guozi School, so he completely lost his normal heart.

When Li Hui heard about it, he was also quite surprised: "In this way, he is not completely useless. However, such a little cleverness cannot go too far, let alone Yang Qian's opponent. If he uses this kind of cleverness against you, it will be a nuisance. ”

"His previous gaffes were all just because of jealousy. If he worships Mr. Zhou as a teacher, then he no longer needs to be jealous of me, and naturally he can't wait to see me as a wolf. Wang Zixian chuckled, "If I am not as good as theirs, and I have obvious weaknesses, Yang Qian will no longer be on guard against me, and he will probably only care about showing off." That way, neither of us will see me as a threat, and I'll be able to live a peaceful life. It seems that he can't find a suitable teacher for the time being, and it is indeed an opportunity that has not yet come, perhaps it is also the destiny of heaven.

"Taoguang Yanghui?" Li Hui couldn't help but think of his family's situation from the past life to this life, and sighed slightly with some emotion, "Sometimes, I really have to be patient. Although he occasionally deliberately does not think about this matter at present, and only wholeheartedly filial piety to his grandfather, what about his own future? However, as his grandmother said, grievances are the most likely to cause accidents, and he should have seen it earlier - he was born in the royal family and after his lineage, even if his grandfather did not participate in the heirship back then, he had to be cautious in his words and deeds. After enjoying the glory and wealth, you naturally have to accept the dangers brought by the bloodline and the title.

"However, Zixian, Wang Ziling's qualifications and temperament are obviously flawed, why can he be so confident? Do you think Yang Qian will definitely win him? Could it be that after being in various literary and poetry meetings for so long, he still has no self-knowledge? At that time, many of the students in the Yang family's courtyard were much better than him? ”

"He has always had a high opinion of himself and has always been very confident. It is that I feel that I am inferior to others for a while, and I may not be inferior to others for a lifetime. It's not bad to have such ambitions, but it's just that the ambitions are sparse. In addition, I also thought of some crooked tricks. If you can't say it, it can really make him a thing. ”

"Crooked moves?" Li Hui couldn't help but be a little curious, "What crooked moves?" If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had been avoiding Wang Ziling, he would have thought about taking the county lord of Changning to see the excitement. However, it is really unwise to go to Yang's Mansion rashly, and it is easy for Yang Qian to see the clues. Moreover, when the county lord of Changning went to the Yang family, it was easy to cause a certain hint and influence on the East Palace, and in turn it was used by others, making others think that this was Du's show of goodwill.

The prince sighed: "I'm just guessing now, I'll tell you later." ”

So, when Li Hui twisted his eyebrows and thought about it, Wang Zixian had already written a post to Yang Qian. Although it was just an invitation to meet, it was not a direct request, but after all, it was a bad identity. The other party is Yang Xiangtou, and now he has been awarded the official school scholar, and he is just a white body. Therefore, the words and sentences of the post are polite and courteous, and they also reveal a bit of respect. In Yang Zhuangtou's view, perhaps this post is already meaningful.

After he finished writing, Li Hui browsed it: "You couldn't make it difficult last time, which shows that he is really not a broad-minded person. Now that I have the opportunity to make you anxious, I can't say that he will press this post and delay replying to you. Of course, what Yang Xiangtou did was also a means of controlling people. It's just that this kind of method is impossible for many arrogant people to accept, and it is not too clever. And Yang Qian is not unable to use higher means, but his goal is only to break the arrogance of this type of person, so he will not use any methods of "seeking talent" and "intersecting knots".

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter to me when he hears back. The only person who cares about this matter is Wang Ziling. Wang Zixian replied with a smile, and ordered Cao Shilang to send the post to the Yang Mansion of Hongnong County, "Speaking of which, about Yang Qian and the Yang family, I seem to have heard an interesting news, Ah Hui, are you interested in listening to it?" ”

Li Hui raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that there is something wrong in the Hongnong County Mansion?" ”

"That's nature." The prince said, "Concubine Yang De is the sister of Hongnong County, but Yang Liangdi is the daughter of the second room. How can the in-laws and those who are in the next room have the same heart? The county prince has Yang Qian's competitive spirit in the first line, but the second room is mediocre, how can he safely watch them rely on Yang Liangdi to rise to the top in the future? I don't know what this Yang Liangdi thinks in her heart. Is the power of the long house more important? Or is the family affection of the second room more important? ”

Li Hui laughed a little playfully. Wang Zixian stared at him, and couldn't help but pull the corners of his lips: "The Yang family is the mother family of Princess Anxing. I thought that Princess Anxing's Mansion was strictly guarded, and I couldn't say that the Yang family would be another breakthrough. After all, Concubine Yang De and her mother's family are indeed extremely close, and Princess Anxing often corresponds to them. What do you think? ”

"That's true." Li Hui said, "However, the Yang family is related to Yang Liangdi, and it cannot be touched at will, so you have to be careful." If it attracts the attention of my uncle and makes him careless, it will not be beautiful. ”

"Rest assured, I'll save it. This matter must be done step by step, and the Sun family brothers and sisters are also slowly trying to figure it out. ”

Li Hui guessed correctly, after receiving the post sent by the prince's department, Yang Qian did not give any news for more than half a month. It wasn't until the Wang family sent a second post, which was more cautious in his wording, that he replied to the post with satisfaction and invited the three Wang brothers to participate in his recent poetry meeting.

After receiving the bamboo post of the Yang family, Wang Ziling seemed to have a bamboo in his chest, glanced at Wang Zixian with a sneer, and went back to the east wing by himself. Wang Zimu clutched the post tightly, stood in place, and did not move for a long time: "Big brother...... The eldest brother wrote two posts, Yang ...... Yang Zhuangtou replied...... "He originally had great respect for Yang Qian, but after inadvertently detecting the "truth", the image of this person collapsed in his heart.

What kind of humble gentleman in the jade tree, what kind of family son who doesn't care about the family and the talent and learning, what kind of chivalrous style of making friends and being broad-minded - all fake! It's all fake!! Otherwise, why did he deliberately test his brother like this? Do you have to ask my brother to write two posts, each time in a lower voice than the other, to invite them as if he was "condescending to the noble"? Wasn't that the case with his previous apprenticeship? Deliberately suppressed for a long time before passing a message to them?

The young boy painfully found that he no longer seemed to be as innocent as he used to be. He once thought that everyone would not have any too bad thoughts, and thought that the worst in this world was just some selfishness, and it was just a matter of preference and preference. Now, he seems to be able to see more of the truth, to discover more truths that were once blinded by his wishful thinking. He thought that the world was as peaceful and peaceful as the Buddha country, but in fact it was a hell with teeth and claws.

"Zimu." Wang Zixian seemed to see his hesitation and uneasiness, and saw through his fear and confusion, "This world is not white or black. All human beings are not inherently evil. Yang Qian is indeed not a true gentleman, but a hypocrite, and your senior brothers may not all be virtuous. However, Mr. Zhou is indeed a good gentleman worthy of your apprenticeship. After you apprentice, it is important to get Mr. Zhou's guidance, rather than following those senior brothers and following the crowd. ”

"......" Wang Zimu became more and more dazed. After all, he was just a child under the age of twelve, and he was benevolent by nature, so naturally he could not accept the truth of those "ugly" things for a while. Moreover, he couldn't and didn't dare to tell the eldest brother, what he was afraid of was not the strange teacher, but the family that was far away in Shangzhou, those who didn't even want to maintain the illusion of peace.

"Rest assured." The prince's gaze was much gentler, "There is no need to be too vain and wronged, just concentrate on studying." As for those senior brothers, there is no need to offend them. Those who see it are pleasing to the eye will come and go, and those who are not pleasing to the eye will stay away, that's all. In fact, he also hopes that after these things, Wang Zimu will be able to grow up as much as possible. After all, being too fragile is not going to make a big deal, and this is the best opportunity to sharpen one's face.

The prince was silent, and after taking a deep look at him, Fang said goodbye and left.

There weren't many people invited to the poetry meeting held by Yang Qian, but they were just the new school scholars who were admitted to the Jinshi with him and dozens of young scholars. These people should be regarded as the people he has attracted relatively closely, most of them are his supporters, and a small number of them are indeed his friends.

Because the three brothers of the Wang family were all unfamiliar faces, Yang Qian introduced everyone for them, and they were very happy with each other. Wang Zixian is a student of Guozijian, and Wang Zimu is Yang Qian's future junior brother, so it is not difficult for everyone to understand why Yang Qian invited them over. As for Wang Ziling, everyone seems to ignore it a little - after all, he has no reputation, and he is not a person in the Sixth School and Second Hall, just like a foil for a brother and a brother.

Of course, Wang Ziling felt that he had been insulted, but he could barely hold back the anger that was about to erupt and tried to join the conversation among the others. His hard work this month has not been in vain, at least his memory is still good, and he can also pick up the words when others quote scriptures. If there is something I don't understand, I am also humble to ask everyone. After a while, the others also had a good look at him.

Then, Prince Ling looked back and found that Wang Zixian and Wang Zi were talking happily with Yang Qian. He didn't know that the prince blushed, and before the prince could speak, he said to Yang Qian: "Senior Brother Yang, my second brother has also admired Mr. Zhou for a long time...... Ignorance...... I wonder if Senior Brother Yang can ...... after inspecting his talents Consider one or two and recommend him to Mr.? ”

Yang Qian was slightly stunned and glanced at Wang Zixian. From the very beginning, he noticed that the two brothers looked a little unnatural, and guessed that they must have come for this purpose. As early as when the servants of the Yang family gave gifts, he found the rift between the three brothers from the scene they described. Having such a brother is probably only a curse rather than a blessing for the prince and the prince. Of course, he didn't want such a person to ruin the reputation of his teacher.

However, although I have already decided in my heart, I always have to take care of the face. So, Yang Qian smiled and said, "Then let Ziling come over." I'm also a little curious about what makes him special compared to the two of you. ”
