Geng Xiaofan and his entourage came to Chang'an, and it was time to break up.

Wang Mang and Lou Hu both held his hand and were reluctant.

"Brother Jujun, there is no banquet in the world, let's say goodbye to it for now, wait for you to settle down, recover from your injuries and go to Maoling as a guest."

Geng Xiaofan sent out an invitation. Although this guy has a miserable ending, he will at least be powerful for a while, rich and rich, and it shouldn't hurt him to befriend. He even said that if he was happy and "pointed" him to a thing or two, it was difficult to say that maybe history would change. Ha ha!

Lou Hu also gave Wang Mang the plaster he had made at home, "I wish Brother Jujun a speedy recovery." ”

In the early stage, the Lou family had arranged for someone to rent a shop on Anmen Street in Chang'an City, and the group settled down.

"This place is good, in the future, your sister-in-law and I will come to Chang'an to go shopping, and there will be a place to drink tea."

Geng Xiaofan is very satisfied with the location of the Lou family, which can be said to be the most prosperous area in Chang'an City. In particular, the two palaces of Changle and Weiyang are on both sides of the street.

Lou Hu really wanted to keep Geng Xiaofan and his party in Chang'an for a few more days, but Geng Xiaofan was like an arrow, it didn't matter if there were only himself and Fei'er, but now he still has more than a dozen children.

More than a dozen children are less than ten years old, and the younger ones are only five or six years old, and they were still a little restrained and afraid, but they didn't expect their new "parents" to be so amiable, even better than their parents! Especially the things made by this new "dad" are so delicious, they have never eaten them before.

Moreover, no matter how much food there is, they always watch that they are full first, and when they have drunk enough, they eat a little casually.

Therefore, in just a few days, these children have a deep relationship with Geng Xiaofan and his wife.

Looking at the sky, you can still get to Maoling with some time, Geng Xiaofan decided not to delay any longer.

It's a pity that heaven is not as good as people. When he came to Xianyangdu, Geng Xiaofan found that he couldn't go on.

The Xianyang Bridge was in disrepair, half collapsed, and was being repaired. If you want to cross the river, you can only wait for the ferry. But the ferry port was already crowded with merchants.

"Fei'er, this place is not far from Forget Xianzhuang, let's go to Xiaosi's place for one night." Geng Xiaofan understood that he would not be able to go home today.

After the New Year, Xiao Si returned to Chang'an early, and had already packed up the courtyard rented by Wangxianzhuang. The first batch of goods from Zhouda has also arrived, and this "Zhou's Commercial Bank" has been officially put into operation!

"Childe, we've been waiting for you for more than a month!" Seeing Geng Xiaofan and his party, Xiao Si jumped up in surprise.

"Not bad! It's pretty decent. How's that, business is okay! Geng Xiaofan had a brief visit and was very satisfied.

"It's okay, Brother Zhou's caravan has recruited some more people, and I have hired a few here, all of which are very good. With such a division of labor, not only is it more efficient, but there are also more goods to operate, and there will be good profits this year. Xiao Si introduced, and quickly arranged for someone to prepare the guest room and meals.

"Little four, you are busy first, and I will visit the owner of Wang Zhuang by the way." Now that he has arrived at Forgotten Immortal Village, Geng Xiaofan still has to pay a courtesy visit, and promised Wang Xian to let him know Fei'er.

With a few jars of wine, Geng Xiaofan led Liu Fei'er to Wang Xian's mansion.

"Please sit down for a while, and the head of the family will come over immediately." The housekeeper Wang Xiu politely received Geng Xiaofan and invited them to sit down in the study.

Without any worries, Geng Xiaofan carefully observed Wang Xian's study for the first time.

"Brother Fan, this owner must be a well-educated man." Liu Fei'er looked at the mountains of bamboo slips in the study and whispered.

Although Wang Xian's study cannot be said to be "full of sweat cows", the bamboo slips are all arranged very neatly.

Geng Xiaofan pulled out a volume at random.

"Fei'er, it's okay to go home, you teach me to read and write." Geng Xiaofan began to tease his wife.

"I can't, I'll get you a teacher when I get home." Liu Fei'er said seriously.

"Teacher, please! You have to hire a teacher. Fei'er, let's set up a school so that these children and the children in the village can come to study. ”

Geng Xiaofan felt that this idea was good, this time he adopted more than a dozen children at once, all of them were enlightenment, and it was time for them to hire a teacher.

Right! Go home and do this first, run a "private school", and be the "principal" yourself! Let the children of Gengjiazhuang come to "school".

A century-old plan is education-oriented! You have to start with children, and you can also teach them some writing and arithmetic, so as to cultivate these children into talents.

"Lord Geng wants to run a school?" Wang Xian was sweating profusely and walked quickly into the study.

"Master Wang!" Geng Xiaofan hurriedly put down the bamboo slips, saluted Wang Xian, and introduced Fei'er.

"I have long heard that Mrs. is gentle and virtuous, and it is really unusual when I see it today." Wang Xian politely invited the two to sit down.

"I don't know what kind of private school Lord Geng wants to run? Books, arithmetic, law, medicine, or what? ”

"We were laughing, but we suddenly had an idea, thinking of inviting a gentleman to teach the children in the village to read and write, so that when they grow up, they can understand things and have something to eat. I don't know if the owner of Wang Zhuang has a suitable person to recommend to me. Geng Xiaofan didn't expect Wang Xian to hear his conversation with Fei'er.

"The lord is full of wealth, how dare Wang Xian get an axe. Our dynasty has always attached great importance to official learning, and there are not many private learning, and this great act of kindness of Lord Geng is really a blessing for the children of Maoling. ”

"What kind of money am I! Master Wang Zhuang is a doctor of Taixue, you are the master, please give me more advice. Geng Xiaofan politely complimented Wang Xian.

"By the way, I'm asking for advice on something." Geng Xiaofan remembered the book he had just picked up, which was "The Book of Rites", and he remembered the "University" chapter again.

"I don't dare to ask for advice, but if I know, I will know everything."

"There is a university in the Book of Rites, do you know, sir?" Geng Xiaofan asked thoughtfully.

"The way of university is in Mingmingde." Wang Xian recited a sentence softly, but frowned, "The lord is really hidden, this article is only taught in Taixue, and the people know very little, I don't know where the lord learned it?" ”

"Oh, that's it! I was also on the way to travel, and I met a high-ranking person and listened to him talk about this, but I didn't know the authenticity, so I specially asked Mr. for verification. ”

Geng Xiaofan made up a lie, but he also understood that the "Book of Rites" read by Wang Mang must be incomplete. The "Five Classics" at this time can indeed only be accessed by doctors of Taixue.

"I wonder who this master is?" Wang Xian was interested.

"I don't want to be famous, and I can't force it." Geng Xiaofan continued to look for excuses, he couldn't talk about this issue anymore, and he couldn't make it up if he said it again.

The two chatted casually, and Geng Xiaofan found that although Wang Xian was polite and polite, he was a little "absent-minded" and seemed to have something in his heart.

"Has the owner of the Wang Zhuang encountered any problems?" Geng Xiaofan couldn't help but be curious.

"Don't tell the lord that I have a daughter, who is twenty-eight years old, disappeared mysteriously last year, and I have been looking for a year and there is no news. Just now, someone reported that someone seemed to have seen her. ”

Wang Xian thought of his beloved daughter and couldn't help but burst into tears.
