Wang Yuan stayed in the mansion of Mrs. Qin for lunch, and after the meal, he went to see Liu Jun again. I haven't come to teach Liu Jun for more than half a month, and Wang Yuan himself is very unhappy, and he is also so-so as a teacher.

However, as early as a few months ago, because Wang Yuan's affairs were busy, Mrs. Qin Guo had already invited a few other teachers to Liu Jun to teach. Because Wang Yuan had already learned that Liu Junzhi was not writing poetry and essays, but leading the army to fight in the art of war, the teacher who suggested it was also a person who was proficient in this way. Liu Jun also knew that it was impossible for Wang Yuan to come to teach every day, so he listened to Wang Yuan's words and followed a few new teachers to study seriously.

But after meeting Wang Yuan, Liu Jun was still very happy, in Liu Jun's mind, Wang Yuan was the first teacher he admired and respected. The arrival of Wang Yuan really made Liu Jun discover the joy of learning, and the depth of the relationship between the master and apprentice is incomparable and irreplaceable by others.

When the master and apprentice were indulging in the sand table deduction game in the back garden, Mrs. Qin Guo ordered someone to invite Yang Guozhong to the mansion, knowing that Yang Guozhong had some complaints about Wang Yuan, and inviting them to meet in her mansion could also make a small mediation. Second, the current situation of the Yang family is not optimistic, Wang Yuan promised to help with advice, and the three of them should meet to discuss it.

Tea and fruits were placed in the octagonal pavilion in the back garden, Yang Guozhong sat in the pavilion with a big thorn, and Mrs. Qin Guo sat aside.

In the eyes of the two, a maid went to the sand by the pool to invite Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan listened to the maid's report and looked at the octagonal pavilion, turned around and continued to say a few words to Liu Jun, and then slowly washed off the mud on his feet in the pool water, put on his shoes and walked slowly to the pavilion.

Yang Guozhong snorted coldly and said: "This Wang Yuan, now the shelf is too big, the prime minister is waiting here, not to say that he is waiting for the prime minister here, but he can't be slow to make the prime minister wait." Ben Xiang has a lot of things to do, but he has to waste time for him. ”

Mrs. Qin Guo frowned slightly and said: "Cousin, don't be impatient, Wang Yuan has always been like this, and it is not like this today." He and Jun'er haven't seen each other for half a month, and it's normal for people to talk more. Jun'er rarely fell in love with him. ”

Yang Guozhong frowned and said: "Eighth sister, there are some things that are difficult to say for my brother, but if you don't say it, it will be like a fish in your throat." You don't object to liking Wang Yuan as a brother, but you need to know that it is enough. Don't be blinded, when you're lonely, this Wang Yuan can relieve boredom, but don't invest too much emotion. ”

Mrs. Qin Guo lowered her face and said, "What did my cousin say?" I want you to take care of my affairs, you are the left minister outside, don't put up any shelves in my house. Besides, am I the kind of person who is obsessed with the unknown? ”

Yang Guozhong knew that he was talking too much, so he hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, the eighth sister should not be angry, the brother just reminded him casually." ”

Mrs. Qin Guo sighed and said, "I know that you have been anxious recently, so I don't want to blame you, I will have a good talk with Wang Yuan in a while, and let him help with advice." ”

Yang Guozhong squinted his eyes and said: "Let's see, it's not that he depends on him for everything, he is just a loyal dog of my Yang family, and he is not a loyal dog of my Yang family." ”

Mrs. Qin Guo frowned and was silent.

Wang Yuan walked slowly from the empty pond meadow to the octagonal pavilion along the path covered with yellow leaves, and after autumn, the lush flowers and trees in the back garden of Mrs. Qin Guo changed their appearance. The sycamore is yellow, the maple leaves are red, and the yellow chrysanthemums bloom strongly and enthusiastically on the side of the promenade, exuding a rich fragrance. Although Wang Yuan doesn't like the fragrance of chrysanthemums very much, there are chrysanthemums decorated this season, and he feels that it delays the coming winter, and he also has some comfort in his heart.

Ascending the deciduous stone steps to the octagonal pavilion, I saw Yang Guozhong and Mrs. Qin Guo both sitting and looking at themselves intently, Yang Guozhong's eyes were slightly closed, and his face was gloomy. Mrs. Qin's eyes were affectionate, but she also had a faint cloud of sorrow.

"See Yang Zuoxiang, see Eighth Lady." Wang Yuan stood at the entrance of the pavilion and bowed.

Yang Guozhong didn't say a word and only owed a debt, and Mrs. Qin Guo stood up and returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Wang Shilang is polite, please sit down." ”

Wang Yuan smiled slightly, walked to the stone bench on the side and sat down, and the maidservant on the side made tea.

"How was the conversation with Jun'er? Can Jun'er grow? Mrs. Qin Guo asked with a smile.

"Mrs. Hui, Liu Jun is smart and thoughtful, draws inferences from one another, and has made great progress. What I say and think is often beyond my expectations, where is like a nine-year-old child, much calmer than people of the same age. Congratulations to Madame, the second son will become a great weapon. Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Mrs. Qin Guo said happily: "Really? If Jun'er becomes a great tool, your teaching skills must not be erased. ”

Yang Guozhong coughed and said coldly: "How to become a big tool?" Don't you study seriously all day long, just rely on scribbling and drawing on those sandy floors, and teach some things about talking about the army on paper? ”

Wang Yuan was stunned and said with a smile: "Zuo Xiangyan is serious, that is Liu Jun's interest, and Liu Jun is also reading well now." ”

Yang Guozhong snorted and didn't speak.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Zuo Xiang seems to be in a bad mood, such a good autumn scene, pleasing to the eye, Zuo Xiang should take a look at these scenes to soothe his mood." ”

Mrs. Qin Guo nodded and smiled: "Yes, how beautiful the scenery is, sometimes, I think autumn is more beautiful than spring." Such a beautiful view, Wang Yuan, you might as well write a poem to listen to it. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Madame commanded, Wang Yuan dared to disobey his orders." ”

Wang Yuan got up and looked at the scenery outside the pavilion with his hands, and after a while, he groaned in a deep voice: "The bamboo dock is dust-free and the water threshold is clear, and the lovesickness is separated from the heavy city." The autumn clouds do not disperse, and the frost flies late, leaving the dry lotus to listen to the sound of the rain. ”

Mrs. Qin Guo clapped her hands and praised: "Good poetry, good poetry." The autumn clouds do not disperse, and the frost flies late, leaving the dry lotus to listen to the sound of the rain. Such a beautiful sentence, you will record it later and send it to me to hang in the hall. I don't want anyone to cut off the lotus leaves in the lotus pond anymore, and it must be wonderful to keep them to listen to the sound of the autumn rain. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and nodded, and Yang Guozhong's impatient voice sounded: "Wang Yuan, I don't have the leisure to talk to you about poetry and papers, you are very leisurely now, and you are very good at enjoying happiness." ”

Wang Yuan arched his hand and smiled: "Zuo Xiang doesn't like this poem, just want Zuo Xiang to write a poem to see the scenery and soothe his mood." Although the affairs of the left minister are complicated, one piece and one relaxation is the way of civil and military, and the improper soothing mood should also be. ”

Yang Guozhong snorted and said, "I don't have that blessing in my own right. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Those troubles that Xiangguo encountered, I heard that the eighth lady has already said something. Don't worry too much about the left. There is an optimal solution to everything, and it is just a matter of finding the best solution. ”

"What you said is light, can those things be solved by solving them?" Yang Guozhong reprimanded.

Wang Yuan said: "It's man-made. Actually, things are not that bad. The rumors about those officials who were promoted first and then dismissed have to be said to be caused by the left minister's haste to do so. At the beginning, he suggested that Zuo Xiang do it slowly, not to force Li Linfu to go crazy, and Zuo Xiang promoted so many people to important official positions at once, which is why Li Linfu had to take action. In fact, who Li Linfu is most afraid of, it is impossible for Zuo Xiang not to know. ”

Yang Guozhong smiled and said, "You're counting me, aren't you?" What is the use of saying this? It shows that you have a vision and a good insight, right? ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "How could Zuo Xiang think so?" I'm just analyzing the reasons below. Although it has caused dissatisfaction among some people, and some people have also taken the opportunity to spread rumors and say some strange things, there is no need to worry. Zuo Xiang only needs to calm down, lower his posture and explain to Li Linfu, and at the same time appease these people who were promoted and dismissed by Zuo Xiang, give them some promises, and the matter will naturally settle down. Don't shift Li Linfu's goal to yourself. Let Li Linfu and the prince pinch each other, and the left prime minister can sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman, and slowly insert people to cultivate his own power. ”

Mrs. Qin's eyes lit up and said, "Wang Yuan is very analytical, and he should do this." ”

Yang Guozhong said coldly: "What kind of bad idea is this? Do you want me to explain to Li Linfu in a low voice? Don't you want me to please him? Why did he ask me to please him? I am the left minister, he is the right minister, although his status is higher than mine, but I share the same power with him, why should I keep my voice down? I whispered to him, teaching outsiders what to think of me, and how would the officials who were attached to me see me? Isn't it that he admits that he is inferior to Li Linfu? It's a shame that you came up with this idea. ”

Wang Yuan was stunned, and suddenly, he found that Yang Guozhong in front of him was already very unfamiliar. has only been the left minister for more than three months, and has changed from Yang Zhao to Yang Guozhong for more than three months, and everything has changed dramatically. It's not that there is a change in appearance, but a change in psychology. In the past, Yang Zhao was still a person who could humbly ask for advice and endure humiliation, but Yang Guozhong in front of him has become arrogant and inflated.

If he hadn't personally experienced this person's transformation process, Wang Yuan would never have believed that a person would change so quickly after ascending to a high position. I used to think about such a question, with Yang Zhao's temperament a few months ago, how could he become a powerful minister who would be domineering and dictatorial in the future, because he didn't seem to be a person who would do that in terms of personality and conduct. And now Wang Yuan has to believe that Yang Guozhong has become that kind of person.
