In the afternoon, in a corner of Xiyang City, Liu Xuan's house, Liu Xuan, who had just returned from a banquet in Xiyang Palace, was talking with his friend Liu Zhuo in the study at this time, this mansion was given by the King of Xiyang, and it was Liu Xuan's official residence in Xiyang.

Liu Xuan is a native of Hejian, and when he first came to Huangzhou by the Yangtze River, he was a little unaccustomed to both food and climate, but with the experience of Liu Zhuo, who settled in Xiyang first, he has adapted to it in the past few days.

As a 'person who has come over', Liu Zhuo explained some details of his life, after all, the problem of not adapting to the water and soil is not so quick to adapt.

"Nanren are good at tea, and if you drink too much, you will naturally get used to it, and Xiyang's tea is different from other places, without adding any spicy things such as ginger and green onions, and it tastes unique."

Liu Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was still not used to drinking tea, but he was a little curious about the climate here: "I heard that there will be mildew and rainy days in spring and summer in the Jianghuai area?" ”

"Yes, when it rains, it's wet everywhere, and the room is full of water stains, as if it has been blistered, it's hot in summer, and it snows in winter, and you know after a year."

After talking for a while, the topic turned to Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen, Liu Xuan saw Yuwenwen for the first time today, there were many guests at the banquet in Xiyang Palace, but what impressed Liu Xuan the most was Yuwenwen.

This is quite interesting with Shi Ligang, the governor of the palace, Liu Xuan feels that the two seem to be competing in secret, so he wants to hear the 'inside information' of his friends and see how the king of Xiyang behaves.

"King Xiyang behaves a little differently from others, King Qi is afraid that this fierce horse will get into trouble, so he has a halter, and Li Changshi is the halter."

Liu Zhuo said with a smile, after many years of dealing, he probably figured out some of Yu Wenwen's temper, this very assertive, recognized things basically no one can control, but he is a reasonable person, but sometimes that truth is a little laughable.

Liu Xuan was a little surprised when he heard this: "Can't cry or laugh? I don't know which doctrine King Xiyang is learning? ”

"King Xiyang said that he was not good at literature, but he was not a vulgar martial artist, and his speech on weekdays also had a literary style, and he may have read some miscellaneous books, so his thoughts were also a little strange."

Liu Zhuo twisted his beard and said, and after thinking for a while, he added: "However, there are quite a few literary scholars around King Xiyang, and Zhang Huazhang Zhongzong, the president of the study club at the banquet, is indeed good in his writing. ”

"There is also Zhang Ke Zhang Ziju, the secretary of the palace, who was born in the family of the official eunuchs of the Southern Dynasty, and his knowledge is also good, and his sister Zhang is now the Empress Dowager Zhang of the Liang Kingdom."

"It turns out that Zhang Silu is a relative of Liang Guoguo? Why did you become an adjutant of Xiyang Wangfu in Zhou State? ”

Faced with Liu Xuan's question, Liu Zhuo couldn't give a definite answer, because he really didn't know the reason, but he knew that among his students, the young man named Xiao Yu was the king of Liang Guojun, the younger brother of the current king of Liang Guoguo.

Probably as an uncle, Zhang Ke is an official in Xiyang in order to take care of his nephew who is studying.

"Guangbo has just arrived in Xiyang, rest for a few days, wash off the car and horses, and then take a walk around, and then I will introduce it slowly, don't be in a hurry."

"That's not good, you've always let me rest these days, I haven't been to the library yet, and the stargazing platform, let's go to the stargazing platform tonight!"

"Hahahaha, I know you can't sit still." Liu Zhuo smiled, he knew his old friend's temper very well, "But it's really not good tonight, Fang Xiao rushed a few of them, and he chartered the venue tonight." ”

Liu Xuan smiled helplessly when he heard this, he had heard of Fang Yanqian, his brother Fang Yanxun, who served as a prison at a young age, specially received envoys from the Southern Dynasty, and was responsible for fighting with each other, the brothers were talented, and he had met several times.

Thinking of the past, Liu Xuan couldn't help but sigh that time was like a shuttle, Fang Yanxun died young, and he did nothing for more than ten years, when the Zhou State destroyed Qi, as a Qi person, he and a group of friends, thought that the Zhou State would be of great use, and everything turned out to be the same.

Between today's banquets, the young Huang Governor Shi Hao Wubo, and the same age Badong County Shou Xu Shao, the two are classmates and friends like him and Liu Zhuo, young but with a broad career, and then think about yourself, it is really embarrassing.

"Guang Bomo wants to be discouraged, Hao Changshi and Xu Junshou, their families are flourishing in Shannan, and it is convenient to enter the office, and when they meet a person like King Xiyang, they will of course stand out."

Liu Zhuo's words made Liu Xuan look forward to it: "I don't know the King of Xiyang..."

"The current situation is chaotic, and the mind of the King of Xiyang is now focused on military and political affairs, Guang Bomo should be anxious, and in the past few years, he will do his studies with peace of mind, and he will come to a long time."

Liu Zhuo knows what the other party cares about, learning and excelling is the dream of many scholars, but now the situation is indeed a little chaotic, he and Liu Xuan have not had a good career in the past few years, and they don't want to get involved in the political situation casually.

This is also what Yuwen Wen means, after all, the name of the King of Xiyang is not good, even if Yu Wenwen recommends them to be officials, they are probably small officials who are soft-spoken, and they can't be used when the time comes, and no one adopts all kinds of suggestions, is it interesting for such an official to come?

Fame and fortune who don't want to, but they have tried, but the career is really bumpy and difficult.

It is true that they are knowledgeable, but they can't go up in rank, and those Shangguan who are only shallow in learning have many ways to suppress them, and when they are angry, depressed, it is better to be free to learn in Xiyang.

Liu Zhuo has earned a lot of money in Xiyang in the past few years, he has earned a lot of money by virtue of his studies, there are more and more students, and the books he has proofread are sold everywhere, and the name of Liu Shiyuan has never disappeared in the eyes of the world.

Listening to his friend's analysis, Liu Xuan was a little relieved, a few months ago he received a letter from Liu Zhuo, the other party invited him to Xiyang for a walk, in fact, he had some expectations in his heart: Could it be that the king of Xiyang invited him to Xiyang for this reason?

When he came to Xiyang, he made a difficulty, he was worried that he was thinking too much, and rashly recommending himself would make the king of Xiyang stunned; I'm afraid that if I don't take the initiative, and King Xiyang is embarrassed to speak, won't I miss the opportunity?

Learn and excel, of course Liu Xuan wants to be an official, before the Zhou State destroyed Qi, the new assassin recommended him to engage in Hucao, but within a few years, there were frequent wars, and he would not lead troops to fight, so he has always been just an ordinary state adjutant.

His knowledge should have been used to compile the history of the country, sort out the books of the past dynasties, or compile astronomical almanacs with Liu Zhuo, or teach in Taixue, but there was no hope of this day coming.

Liu Xuan's background is average, without the shadow of a big family, although his reputation is very famous, but the people in power don't seem to plan to promote him, so he resigned and returned to his hometown, preparing to start school and teach, and supporting his family by shackles.

This time the letter from his friend Liu Zhuo, like a timely rain after a long drought, the name of the Huangzhou bookstore, Liu Xuan has heard of it, in the past few years, he has come to see the "one by one" thread-bound books sent by Liu Zhuo, looking at the comfortable life in Xiyang described in the letter, he is really tempted.

Fame and fortune, merit and fortune can be ignored now, but if you can make money by relying on your knowledge, and you can proofread all kinds of books, so that the people of the world can see your results, what is wrong with this?

As soon as he arrived in Xiyang, the king of Xiyang gave a mansion, a number of servants, and a lot of money, grain, cloth, and silk, plus Liu Zhuo also gave many gifts, enough for his family to have no worries about food and clothing in Xiyang.

While talking, the servant sent a stack of worship posts, Liu Xuan took it in his hand and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, Liu Zhuo on the side glanced at a few of the photos on the case, and then smiled: "Guangbo, the bookstore owners in Huangzhou have come to the door, are you ready?" ”
