After sending away the smart big flicker, Wu Zhi and Xie Qing turned around and entered the mansion.

"Qing'er, why did Tai Academy end classes so early today?" As he walked, Wu Zhi asked.

Xiao Xie Qing went to the children's class of Tai Academy, and he went to class every morning when the rooster crowed, and he would not go home from class until the afternoon when he was united.

"Hey, hey! Today is the day when our Tai College announces the closure of the college, and if there are no classes, it will not officially start until the first month of next year! ”

"I see, then what were you kid doing in a hurry just now?"

Xie Qing scratched his head and grinned: "Tonight, those seniors of Tai Academy are going to hold a meeting in Fan Lou, and I am the only one among the children who has been invited, so I want to tell Sister Taoyue this good news, she has always wanted to participate in the meeting, and I want to find her to go with me." ”

"That's right."

Wu Zhi smiled and nodded, now these young scholars are engaged in literary competitions, and basically every time there will be women participating, or some scholars' sisters and sisters, or famous prostitutes invited from Qinglou, or some talented women who come here......

Most of the students are the children of eunuchs, and there are many sisters and sisters in the family, and the daughters of eunuchs naturally know poetry and books; Not to mention the famous prostitutes, it is the basic literacy to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and although the daughters of the official eunuchs are talented, they are beautiful, ugly and burly, fat, thin and strong...... On the contrary, famous prostitutes with both beauty and talent are more popular.

As for the women who came to admire, this is the Song Dynasty This will be very normal, the Wenhui is recognized as the most elegant "party" in the society, young people get together to chant poems and sing songs, which can enhance knowledge and cultivate sentiment, why not?

Xiao Taoyue is now literate, Wu Zhi also knows that she is very curious about those literary meetings, a large number of people in the literary meetings participate, whoever has good literary talents will be in the limelight, and if there is no happy onlookers, it doesn't hurt for Taoyue and Xie Qing to go together to join in the fun.

"But your sister Taoyue accompanied your three sisters to buy New Year's goods, and she won't come back until noon." Wu Zhi patted Xie Qing on the shoulder and said, "Don't be in a hurry to find her, let's accompany Master to play a game of backgammon first!" ”

"Really?!"

Xie Qing's eyes lit up, and he was obviously excited.

"Really!"

Wuzhi taught Xie Qing very early on, Xie Qing was young and liked to play this kind of simple chess very much, but because Wuzhi had been very busy since he came to Bianjing, he had never played with him much...... In fact, for this kind of simple chess, Wu Zhi also likes it very much.

"That's right, Master!"

As soon as the two of them walked to the door of the study, Xie Qing patted his head: "I almost forgot one thing!" He looked up at Wu Zhi and asked, "There are not only those seniors in tonight's Wenhui, but also several teachers from Tai Academy, they want me to invite Master over, Master, are you free?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Wu Zhi pondered for a moment, after all, he has classics, so his status in the literary world is not low, so after coming to Bianjing, he will receive many invitations to the literary club every month, and Wu Zhi refuses without exception, and even once even declined the invitation of Zhou Yanbang, a scholar of the dynasty.

The reason why he refused, in addition to being busy playing cards with the emperor and having no time, Wu Zhi was mainly afraid of revealing the stuffing, he didn't have much dry goods in his stomach, and he always borrowed the masterpieces of later generations when they were always used up.

However, Wu Zhi's repeated refusals made him even more stylish in the eyes of the literati.

Xiao Xie Qing's literary club of this kind of too student only belongs to the level of petty fights in the Bianjing literary circle, and Wu Zhi of the top literary club does not go, let alone this, Wu Zhi originally planned to shirk it, but looking at Xiao Xie Qing's expectant eyes, Wu Zhi nodded after thinking about it.

"Okay, I'll show up in the evening."

After speaking, Wu Zhi smiled at Xiao Xie Qinghe, and said, "But if you can play chess later, you have to be able to win a game against me." ”

"Haha! Good! ”

Xiao Xie Qing cheered.

…………

This kind of literary meeting is equivalent to Xiao Xie Qing's parent-teacher meeting, and Wu Zhi is Xiao Xie Qing's first guardian in Bianjing, so of course Wu Zhi wants to go.

In fact, for Wu Zhi, it doesn't matter whether this kind of Wenhui goes or not, it's best not to go, and it saves trouble; But for Xiao Xie Qing, if Wu Zhi doesn't go, then he will lose face in front of his teachers and classmates...... Some parents often laugh and say that children have no face, but Wu Zhi's upbringing tells him that nine-year-old children also have face!

In order to let children grow up physically and mentally healthy, it is necessary to look at problems from the perspective of children.

…………

In the evening, Wu Zhi went to attend the Tai Student Literary Association in Fan Lou as promised, although he did not stay for a long time, he only commented on a few excellent works, said some humorous words, and finally promised to contract all the wine accounts of the literary meeting, and then left in the happy greetings of all the literati, especially the organizers.

……… But all night, Xiao Xie Qing's face was full of pride and pride.

————

The New Year is approaching, the grand ceremonies of the country are continuous, and the imperial court is also busy with the summary of the year.

Wu Song is now a senior general, and he usually has to go to Beijing at the end of the year to report on his work, this time Wu Song came to Bianjing with Hua Ronghua's little sister, and Lu Zhishenlin rushed them to stay in the place.

The reason why Hua Rong came with him was mainly because he was about to be promoted to the military. As early as a month ago, Tong Guan communicated with Wu Zhi, and wanted to transfer Hua Rong to the Bianjing Forbidden Army to serve as the deputy commander of the front division of the palace, which was also Tong Guan's intention to cultivate, and it would be convenient for Wu Song to cultivate his descendants in the forbidden army.

There is another meaning, that is, the forbidden army is still weak now, and Hua Rong is transferred to serve as the deputy commander, and there is also the intention of rectifying the military affairs of the forbidden army, after all, Hua Rong is also born in the general, and he has real military exploits, and he will not be excluded in the forbidden army where the second generation of the army is all over the place.

When the brothers meet, they naturally drink happily, and they are drunk and rest, and afterwards Wu Songhua Ronghua's little sister naturally lives in Wuzhi's mansion, because it is close to the New Year, Wu Zhi is very busy, Wu Song and they also have their own business, so in addition to a table of drinks at night, they rarely meet during the day.

————

The monthly meeting of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce should have been held in the middle of the month, but due to the busyness of Wuzhi Palace outside the palace, it was delayed until the end of the month, and Wuzhi easily took time to come to the Shandong Hall located in the northeast of Bianjing City, Liumen Street.

This is the headquarters of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce in Bianjing, in addition to holding meetings, it is mainly used to provide various conveniences and information for the members of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce, as well as to solve various troubles.

Businessmen will always encounter all kinds of troubles when they go out to do business, such as the oppression of officials, the blackmail of hooligans and ruffians, and as long as they are members of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce, at least in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, no one dares to provoke black and white.

…………

"They're already exhausted, right?"

Standing at the door of the hall, Wu Zhi smiled at Jiang Jing and Brother Yun beside him.

With the current status of Brother Yun and Jiang Jing, they are also bigwigs with a pivotal position in the Chamber of Commerce.

"They don't dare to come to the Wufu to look for you, they can ask the two of us every day!" Jiang Jing smiled bitterly.

"If Lao Wang and Lao Liu were in Bianjing, I'm afraid they would have chased me to my house a long time ago." Wu Zhi said with a smile.

Lao Wang is Wang Gang, and Lao Liu is Liu An, both of whom are bigwigs of the Chamber of Commerce in Qingzhou, and they are still in Qingzhou.

"In a few days, they will come to Bianjing with Lao Xiao." Brother Yun said.

The year is over, Song Jiang stays in Qingzhou to preside over the overall situation, and Xiao Rang naturally wants to come to Bianjing to report to Wu Zhi.

"Let's go, let's go in!"

Bianjing is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and all the big businessmen of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce have extremely important representatives here, and every time Wu Zhi meets, he discusses big issues related to the lifeblood of business, and this time, the core of the problem must be the commercial tax that is about to triple up!
