Under normal circumstances, it is generally difficult for children to speak in the circle of adults, after all, people are small, who will listen to a child's nonsense, but small people are also an advantage, after all, children's words are unscrupulous, even if children say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing, they will usually be forgiven, who calls people young, and cute.

For example, now, Wang Quan has long realized the true meaning of the word difficult, even if he is the head of a county, but in the face of a four-year-old child, can you still use official authority to suppress others, in case he makes him cry, his reputation as a gentleman and humble will be gone, but if you lower your posture to talk to this child, this child still doesn't like to take care of you.

"Is this also your son?" Wang Quanzao asked Xu Zheng and Xu Jing.

"Exactly, exactly, this is my third brother." Xu Zheng and Xu Jing hurriedly bowed and said.

With these two sentences, Wang Quanzao turned his head to face Xu Deshan, showed a kind and kind smile and asked, "Little boy, your two brothers are so good, have you ever studied?" ”

Facing Wang Quanzao, Xu Deshan didn't lift his buttocks, and simply refused: "No!" ”

Xu Zheng Xu Jing saw that he couldn't let his younger brother drag him back, so he hurriedly said: "The little brother is modest, I have read, I have read, I have read, and the literary talent is not under me." ”

Wang Quanzao said: "Since I have read it, now that the grand event of worshiping Master Fan, the little prince might as well compose a poem and ask me to judge it?" ”

Wang Quanzao's move, even if it is put in Bianliang City, Tokyo, no one can jump out of the problem, even if the child of the prime minister's family is praised by Wang Quanzao like this, he will be obedient and obedient, and then praised by the adult.

But Xu Deshan didn't, just to be unexpected, to face Wang Quanzao, Xu Deshan didn't even raise his head, and said: "My lord, don't listen to the two brothers Miao Zan, the kid really has no poetry to say." ”

Literati, it is necessary to have a humble courtesy, you look at those talents, one by one, they can't wait, where is there any gentleman's style, this child still knows how humble and polite he is, Wang Quanzao comforted himself in his heart.

"It's not more modest than modest, since you came to worship Master Fan, you must have some emotions, and the little boy can talk freely, so he should comfort Master Fan." Wang Quanzao is still patient, and most importantly, so that he can make himself have a step down.

Xu Deshan raised his head this time, glanced at Wang Quanzao seriously, and said: "My lord, I'm just a four-year-old child, I came with my brother at home, I haven't seen Fan Zhongyan, what can you expect me to think." ”

Xu Deshan's words, said very realistically, said very directly, everyone present, one counts as one, regardless of age, after hearing this, they couldn't help but blush, speechless, and cold for a while, the reason is obvious, people have never seen Fan Zhongyan, who of these people present has really seen it, gathered here today, it is not that they have their own purposes, moaning without illness, and selling their reputation.

The effect of Xu Deshan's words was obvious, Wang Quanzao really couldn't ask anything anymore, and stood here very embarrassed, but fortunately, Ma Changqing had some eyesight, saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly walked over, and said to Wang Quanzao: "My lord, the time is almost up, it's time to worship Fan Xianggong." ”

Wang Quan had already had such a step, as if he had been amnestied, he hurriedly walked away from Xu Deshan, it seemed that he was still a little embarrassed, this kind, he really understood what Ma Changqing's evaluation of Xu Deshan meant, it was really powerful, it was really difficult, and at the same time secretly swore that if he provoked him again, he would write his surname upside down.

Seeing that Wang Quan had left early, Xu Deshan still bowed his head and drank tea, but he was angry with Xu Zheng and Xu Jing, one on each side, complaining that Xu Deshan had ruined his good deeds.

Xu Zheng Xu Jing already knew what kind of temper Xu Deshan was, what means, quarreling with anger, ten Xu Zheng and Xu Jing were not Xu Deshan's opponents when they were tied together, the two complained a few words, and there was no way out, they could only stare at the next worship ceremony.

Originally, this kind of worship is best at night, but Gaoyang County is located on the border, the location is slightly sensitive, the whole city is under martial law at night, Wang Quanzao invited celebrities in the county, there are many in the county, more outside the city, people have to go home at night, so many people can't stay in the county government at night for the night, so the time of worship is chosen near the evening.

Speaking of rituals, it's also simple, look at what the dead people in the village look like, this ritual is similar, or even simpler: put down a few tables in the center, on which there is a row for Fan Zhongyan, an incense burner, next to the head of the three animals, and some snacks and fruits, and a brazier below, in which all kinds of paper money are burned.

Although the time is earlier than expected, but when it is said that it has begun, there is no need to wait, Wang Quan took the lead in the morning, stepped forward to pour incense for Fan Zhongyan, knelt down, burned some paper money, and said some high-sounding words, which is considered to be the end of the worship, Wang Quan got up early and was picked up by the next person.

I have to say that the organization of this event is still remarkable, the atmosphere is solemn and orderly, serious and lively, as if it is on the right track, seeing that the people in front of him have gone to bow down one by one, it will be Xu Zheng, Xu Jing and others, Xu Zheng can't help but be a little dumbfounded.

This kind of thing, it looks simple, even if you haven't participated in it, you can fool the past by following the cat and painting the tiger, you can learn from it, but today's scene is different, because everyone is a literati, at least they have read some books, so the eulogy at the time of worship has to say some level, you see those people in front of you, they have already made a draft for this, in the eulogy, the context is sad and sad, reminiscing about Fan Zhongyan's life, and at the same time praising himself, and then pat Wang Quanzao's sycophant, this is the end.

If this is the case, with Xu Zheng and Xu Jing's literary talents, it can be made up a set, but because of Wang Quanzao's encouragement before, the adrenaline of the two of them soared, and they wanted to take this opportunity to attract Wang Quanzao's attention, so they changed and changed the draft prepared in their hearts, so they wanted to be different and attract Wang Quanzao's attention.

It's a pity that the position of the two is too far back, there are dozens of people lined up in front, and when it is the turn of the two, those good words and sentences have already been said cleanly, and what the two of them say is the rest of the human spirit, which can't help but make the two brothers feel aggrieved.

Feel aggrieved, the mood is not good, the mood is not good, it is easy to make mistakes, this is not, Xu Zheng Xu Jing stepped forward to worship, learning the appearance of the previous person to salute, but I don't know how I was tripped over the clothes, almost fell on my head, this nervousness, I forgot a lot of words I thought, stammered, and finished the eulogy upside down, which made everyone next to him laugh.

All of a sudden, Xu Zheng and Xu Jing's face was as shy as a red cloth, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, Wang Quanzao saw it, and couldn't help but smile, young man, you think that after reading a few books and being able to make a few poems, you can show off everywhere, but wrong, you just have to keep falling your heels to grow and mature.

Xu Zheng and Xu Jing were the last to worship, they finished worshipping, Wang Quan came out to make a summary again, and this event ended successfully, but Xu Zheng and Xu Jing made a fool of themselves, this laughter not only did not stop, but also became more and more intense, especially the talents, they had long felt that Xu Zheng and Xu Jing had stolen their limelight, and they hated it so much that their teeth were itching, and now they seized the opportunity, and they didn't laugh at the two of them fiercely, and finally even scolded their father and mother or something, which was really ugly.

Xu Zheng and Xu Jing were naturally annoyed when they heard these insults, but there were many powerful people, how could the two of them be enemies, so they hurriedly ran back. At this time, the two saw Xu Deshan tidying up his clothes and walking forward, Xu Zheng and Xu Jing wondered, Xu Deshan didn't want to go with them to worship before, why did he take the initiative to step forward now.

The two of them thought about it again, this Xu Deshan, according to his temper, would not avenge the two of himself at this time, and scold those people back in public, even if you are powerful, you don't have such a play, can you still learn from Zhuge Kongming's tongue to fight the Confucianism, be careful that people rush down and beat you.

Thinking like this, Xu Deshan was about to walk to the front of the altar, and the two of them had no choice but to watch in a hurry, and secretly prepared to rush up to rescue Xu Deshan in the crowd.

To the surprise of the two, Xu Deshan walked very calmly and steadily, his steps were steady and relaxed, even if Xu Deshan was only four years old, he looked quite rhythmic, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Only then did the two of them react, isn't this the official step that Xu Cai taught himself and others in the court, this kind of step looks simple, but it needs the connotation and connotation of people to walk, not arrogant or impatient, neither humble nor arrogant, Xu Zheng and Xu Jing studied for a long time, but they always couldn't bear the frizziness in their hearts, so they couldn't walk well, but I didn't expect Xu Deshan to learn first.

Even if Xu Deshan didn't speak, didn't make any other movements, just walked from the corner to the front of the tablet, but at this moment, Xu Deshan seemed to be the most dazzling star, firmly attracting everyone's attention, and even in the hearts of those talents, there was a thought that they didn't dare to match it, and they all closed their mouths, and Wang Quanzao was thinking in his heart now: Little ancestor, I won't provoke you anymore, why did you come out by yourself, I gave you this county order, let's not be so scary.
