Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang actually rushed from Shaoxing to Ningbo to join him, which was something Xu Yan could never have imagined!

No matter what, Xu Yan couldn't be more excited after seeing that famous post!

Who is Xu Wei? That is with Xie Jin and Yang Shen, known as the "Three Talents of the Ming Dynasty", the originator of the "Qingteng School", a good grass, can play the piano, know the rhythm of music, and love opera. In the popular words of later generations, it is a hexagonal all-round warrior.

Of course, Xu Wei left the deepest impression on the world as Hu Zongxian's staff and helped him capture Xu Hai, Wang Zhi and other sea tyrants.

After the initial excitement, Xu Yan soon calmed down. At this moment, Xu Wei should be a difficult time when his family is in the middle of the road, he has failed many times, and his wife has died.

In terms of age, Xu Wei is more than ten years older than Xu Yan, and his future is so bleak, he must be desperate in his heart.

What a great opportunity from heaven!

Xu Yan has decided to take Xu Wei in, whether it is for his own use or to recommend it to Zhu Wei in the future.

said that he changed into a lake-blue robe, put on a hood and walked to the flower hall.

Before coming to the flower hall, Xu Yan straightened the stacking of his sleeves again, and then stepped in with confidence.

At this moment, Xu Wei was already waiting in the flower hall, and when he saw Xu Yan coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

"Xu Wei meets his son."

Xu Yan hurriedly helped Xu Wei up, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Wen is very polite." ”

He observed carefully and found that Xu Wei was wearing a square scarf on his head, a shirt made of jade-colored cloth and silk, with wide sleeves and soap scarf drape.

The shirt is the standard dress of the students, but this shirt may have been washed too many times, and it has been faintly white. Xu Yan also noticed that Xu Wei had a patch sewn on his right shoulder. Although it is made with cloth of a similar color, you can still tell it if you look closely.

Xu Wei has a Chinese face, clear eyebrows, a mustache, and a beard on his chin.

It's just that he is obviously malnourished, his face is vegetable, and his eyes are a little red because of bloodshot, and he looks very haggard.

It's just miserable.

"Please be seated."

Xu Yan pulled Xu Wei to sit down and then sat down himself, and when he saw that Xu Wei was a little restrained, he took the lead in breaking the ice and said: "Brother Wen is a friend of Brother Xuqing, and he is also my friend of Xu Yan." Brother Wen should call me the time. ”

Who knew that Xu Wei shook his head: "Etiquette cannot be abolished, since Xu is here to defect to his son, he should observe etiquette." ”

Xu Yan didn't expect him to be so stubborn, so he had to follow his words for the time being: "Since you are here, you can live in peace, and I will ask someone to clean up a room for Brother Wen immediately." If Brother Wen finds it inconvenient, I will buy a house outside the house and give it to Brother Wen. ”

Xu Yan's attitude was so enthusiastic, which greatly surprised Xu Wei.

He arched his hand and sighed: "How can Xu be so virtuous, he has received such a great favor from his son." ”

Xu Yanxin said, you are too modest. You're a cornucopia, Zhiduoxing. With you, I am still worried about the southeast and the troubles. You're a gift from God.

But on his face, he was silent.

"Brother Wen, Xu is the most righteous person, since he is a friend of Brother Xuqing, I will definitely take care of it."

"Thank you, Childe!"

Xu Wei was already so moved that he was about to cry.

Although he has a reputation for showing talent, he can neither afford to hire a scholar to hold a tin umbrella, nor can he afford to sit on the shoulders of two people.

It can be said that in addition to this shirt, the dignity of the student has been lost by him.

In this case, Xu Yan made him feel respect again, which he never felt in his hometown of Shaoxing.

"It's really gratifying to hear that Gongzi won the first place in the county test and the government test."

Xu Wei said in his heart that he always had to say something good when he met the new owner, and said after thinking for a while.

Xu Yan laughed harmoniously: "It's just a little luckier." ”

Seeing Xu Yan being humble, Xu Wei shook his head and said: "If you can only rely on luck to make a famous sentence like 'talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years'?" To tell the truth, Xu came to defect because he admired the talent and fame of his son. ”

Xu Yan was secretly sweating, and his heart turned out to be this reason.

So the question is, should he consider removing some of Xu Wei's poems when he composes poems in the future, and leave some soup for this great genius of the Ming Dynasty to drink? Otherwise, Xu Wei won't be able to write a song at that time, wouldn't it be embarrassing.

Of course, this thought was only fleeting.

"Xu heard that Gongzi studied under Mr. Daru Xushan, no wonder he has such talent."

Xu Yanxin said that I have only been studying with Mr. Qian for a month, but I have only learned some skin.

"Ahem, Elder Brother Wen, the tutor has always told me to keep a low profile, and I ask Elder Brother Wen not to praise me anymore."

Xu Wei suddenly admired: "I didn't expect that the son had such insight at a young age, and Mr. Xushan really didn't see the wrong person." Xu... Xu couldn't wait to work for his son immediately. ”

Xu Yan: "......"

After being silent for a moment, Xu Yan cleared his throat and said, "Senior Brother Wen has been tired all the way, so let's stay and rest for a few days for the time being." When Brother Wen is rested, let's talk about the service, okay? ”

Seeing Xu Yan say this, Xu Wei naturally nodded with interest.

"In this way, I won't bother my son, and Xu will retire."

Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, which called Shuangxi and asked him to take Xu Wei to the residence to settle down first.

To be honest, Xu Yan really didn't think of what position Xu Wei would be placed in.

Although the Xu family has a big business, basically the old people who have been working hard with their father for many years are used everywhere.

Xu Yan couldn't intervene in the silk shop and rice grain shop, and the affairs in the house were also handled by the housekeeper.

After thinking about it, what Xu Yan can call the shots is the newly opened bookstore "Miaofeng Hall".

Come to think of it, he really needs someone he can trust to run the bookstore's business for him.

After all, Xu Yan is going to take the imperial examination, and he must hide behind the scenes, and he can't personally ask about business.

As for Xu Wei, Xu Yan didn't cheat him. After all, this great talent has never been promoted in his entire life in history.

It can only be said that this is fate.

As for Xu Wei's character, he naturally didn't pick it.

After becoming Hu Zongxian's staff in history, Xu Wei can be described as conscientious and conscientious, and made suggestions to help Hu Zongxian make great achievements.

Even many of Hu Zongxian's recitals were drafted by Xu Wei.

Later, Yan Song fell, and Hu Zongxian was dismissed and imprisoned, and died in prison.

Xu Wei was deeply distressed, and angrily wrote "Self-Epitaph", wanting to commit suicide to bury Hu Zongxian. I was simply rescued.

And now when Xu Wei defected to Xu Yan, he was even more downtrodden than when he defected to Hu Zongxian in history.

Xu Yan did not hesitate to take him in and treat him as a national scholar.

With such a charcoal in the snow, how can Xu Wei not be grateful?

There is a way for a scholar to die as a confidant, and Xu Wei is such a person.

Xu Yan is sure that Xu Wenchang will definitely be loyal to him.
