The chatter along the way made Qian Yuan really impatient, he stopped, turned his head and stared at Xu Fan.

"Talent?" Xu Shi was a little nervous, two months ago, he saw for the first time how badly his nephew was beaten by Qian Yuan.

"Qian Jiajing is a talent for 31 years, the head of Songjiang Mansion, and Jiajing is 34 years old."

Although Qian Yuan's words were light, they were heavy.

In any case, in this era, fame is the most important criterion for evaluating a young scholar.

And when choosing a son-in-law, there is too much difference between a scholar who has a reputation and a scholar who is just handsome, writes well, and has a gentle temperament.

Qian Yuan was very sure that Gu Jiuxi had no fame, in this era, when a scholar met for the first time, he would always report his resume in the imperial examination, and Gu Congli did not mention Gu Jiuxi from beginning to end, not even himself.

This shows that Gu Congli and Gu Jiuxi have no fame.

Xu Fan also wanted to refute a few words, Gu Jiuxi is also sixteen years old, who knows if he will catch up in the future...... But he looked up and saw the undisguised disdain in Qian Yuan's eyes.

"It's no wonder you can talk to the Gu family." Qian Yuan's chuckle and slow words made Xu Fan's face pale.

The Gu family's father and son have no fame, and you Xu Fan are the same, which is called the red and black of the close to Zhu...... Xu Fan could guess what this guy would say, so he was so angry that he stomped his feet and turned around and left.

"Zhancai, why is this so." Xu Shi frowned, a little displeased.

Qian Yuan saw that Xu Fan had turned a corner, and then whispered: "Wanghu Gong, does the Gu family really want to cling to the heart?" ”

"I don't know." Xu Shi blinked, guessing in his heart what was going on in the backyard, this guy refused to marry two years ago, but now he looks a little nervous.

"It is said that Miss Xu Si is quite talented in poetry?"

"I don't know."

"Wanghu Gong, there's no need to be so stingy, right?"

Xu Shi stopped and said to Nunu in front of him, "Let's go in." ”

This is a separate small courtyard, the style of arrangement is similar to the Jiangnan garden, small and exquisite, flowers and plants everywhere, although it is winter, it is also quite interesting, the small lake in the middle is piled with rockeries, connected by a long corridor.

Under the guidance of the servants, Qian Yuan slowly walked into the study and saluted: "Fellow villager Qian Zhancai visited Shaohu Gong. ”

Xu Jie, who was sitting on the Taishi chair behind the table, put down his pen, looked up at Qian Yuan, and said with a smile: "The Duke of Hetan died early, but his children and grandchildren are heroic, better than the old man." ”

Xu Jie's first sentence set the tone, he not only praised Qian Yuan, but also brought Qian Zheng, who had a gap in the past.

"My uncle is strong after his great-grandfather's writing, but the younger generation needs to be sharpened." Qian Yuan had a gentle smile on his face, "It's been two months since I entered Beijing, and I should have visited early, and I hope that Shaohu Gong will forgive my sins." ”

"Where's the talk?" Xu Jie stood up and pointed to the table and chair on the side, "Sit down and serve tea." ”

The servant quickly brought two cups of tea, and Qian Yuan laughed in his heart, but there was no strange expression on his face.

Although Xu Jie's high position is extraordinary, he is very short, and there is not much difference between sitting there and standing there, but he is just a servant serving tea...... Shorter.

"Eighteen years after Jiajing, I haven't returned to my hometown for seventeen years." Xu Jie sighed: "I don't know if there is still an old view of Huating now, I still remember that there is a small lake outside the West City Gate, and I often frolicked on the shore when I was a child. ”

"The small lake is still there, the lake is still clear, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, there are many tourists on the shore, the lotus flowers are falling, there are small boats shuttling, and children picking lotus flowers."

Xu Jie's spirits perked up, and he asked about the things in Huating, and asked about Sun Chengen's recent situation in Zhishi, and asked about the college where he studied in his childhood.

Qian Yuan patiently answered them one by one, and at the same time compared Xu Jie and Yan Song one by one in his heart.

Yesterday's Yan Song was old, except for the last gift, he was not polite to Qian Yuan, but there was a word "true" in his words and deeds.

Today's Xu Jie, who talks and laughs, and chooses his fellow villagers as the starting point, is not unapproachable, but it really reflects a "fake" word.

Qian Yuan took a sip of tea, by the way, he also specially chose pineapple tea, although the pineapple tea of Huizhou Mansion has a great reputation, it is generally sold in the southeast, and it is relatively rare in the north.

In fact, Xu Jie was also very surprised, in his impression, this little fellow is a sharp character, sharp teeth, sharp mouth, retribution, never willing to suffer, and deep thinking, slippery and unsparing.

But today's Qian Yuan is unexpectedly very kind, and he does not shy away from mentioning his uncle Qian Zheng in his speech...... Xu Jie would never think that this was unintentional.

Xu Jie has endured for many years, but he is not immovable, at least in the palace, his news channels are by no means less than Yan Song.

He knew that Qian Yuan was really in the emperor's heart, and because of his age, it was likely to be reserved for the next emperor.

Xu Jie didn't care how the next emperor would use Qian Yuan, but he cared a lot about Qian Yuan's influence on him after relying on Queen Yu.

Therefore, today Xu Jie just wants to pull a relationship, and from time to time he mentions Qian Zheng, as well as the pineapple tea he chose, which is a hint he gave, at least, we are not enemies.

And, of course, there's another important person.

But before Xu Jie could mention it, Qian Yuan had already made a preemptive move, "Speaking of which, the younger generation is really rude, after entering the Beijing Face Saint, he should have visited Shaohu Gong ...... as soon as possible."

Qian Yuan put on a guilty expression, "At that time, I was also confused, and I had a fight with Brother Xu, but I really didn't have the face to come to see Shaohu Gong......"

"I heard that Shaohu Gong also punished Brother Xu Shi with family law, and the younger generation is really ......"

I heard that...... Rao is Xu Jie's sea has been up and down for decades, and he can't help but have sour teeth, you were in the Five Cities Terracotta Division after the men and horses and the imperial history of the city patrol arrived, and you beat Xu Fan with a fist and kick and cried!

Why did my Xu Mansion's family law change from a ring ruler to a rattan, and you don't have any points in your heart?

Xu Jie felt that if this guy could enter the Hanlin Academy, he would definitely be able to stand out quickly, much better than himself back then...... Just look at this face, you can see that Brother Xu Shi......

Qian Yuan's expression was sincere, of course it was Brother Xu Shi...... You can't call it brother-in-law now, although Qian Yuan's attitude towards Xu Fan, and even towards Xu Jie, has not changed in any way so far.

After looking at Qian Yuan carefully for a while, Xu Jie felt that his line of sight could not penetrate such a thick face, "Fan'er is young and vigorous......

As soon as the words came out, Xu Jie had to stop, especially Xu Fan is twenty-eight years old this year, eight years older than Qian Yuan, what face does he have to say that he is young and vigorous......

After a pause, Xu Jie continued: "After all, they are fellow villagers, they used to be classmates, and they will be friends in the future. ”

"That's what Shaohu Gong said." Qian Yuan nodded again and again, "It's the juniors who are not sensible, and after that day, the juniors will reflect on their bodies three times a day, and they will feel guilty." ”

Xu Jie didn't want to listen to this nonsense anymore.

Guilty?

I felt guilty that I hadn't come to the door until now, and I went to Yan's Mansion the day before, and I had to come to deal with it today.

Do you still save my body three times a day?

I remember that on Chinese New Year's Eve, Xu Shu and Xu Fan were still saying that Suiyuan has now become the first restaurant and the first gambling house in Beijing!

"Concentrate on preparing for the exam, Yunquan is a master of Confucianism, and his writing is extraordinary." Xu Jie got up and sat down behind the table again, "Let's bring back a bag of pineapple tea." ”

Yunquan refers to Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who had just taken office at the end of last year, a Jinshi in the fourteenth year of Jiajing, born in Hanlin, a native of Jiangxi, although he was Yan Song's fellow villager, but he had a very poor relationship with Yan Shifan.

Qian Yuan gave a salute and did not leave immediately, but said with a smile: "Today, the younger generation is fortunate to be summoned by the old lady, speaking of the Songjiang pastry chef in Suiyuan, I wonder if I can send some tomorrow to relieve the old lady's homesickness?" ”

Xu Jie's eyes flashed, he didn't know that his wife Zhang had summoned Qian Yuan to the backyard today, maybe Qian Yuan's strangeness today had something to do with it.

Seeing Xu Jie's head bowed slightly, Qian Yuan gave another bow and left the study.
