Chapter 6: Guo Jia (I)
The name of the scribe in Tsing Yi made both the yellow-clothed scribe and the gray-clothed scribe show a sudden expression. The two glanced at each other again, and the yellow-clothed scribe said with a smile: "It turned out to be a high sage in the same county, who has heard of the name for a long time, and has always hated not to see it, and it is really a blessing to be able to discuss with Brother Feng Xiao today!" ”
Kwok Jia, a scribe in Tsing Yi, also said: "It is also a blessing for Canon to receive the teachings of the two virtuous brothers. ”
The yellow-clothed scribe said again: "It is a beautiful thing to meet Brother Fengxiao today, but my two brothers still have something to do, so it is not appropriate to stay longer." We say goodbye and reunite another day to recount our fellow villagers. ”
After speaking, the yellow-clothed scribe pulled the gray-clothed scribe and left in a hurry, and the green-clothed scribe did not stay, but just watched them leave with a smile.
The people in the teahouse were slightly surprised to see them leave in a hurry, but more people were still impressed by the talents of the three of them. What's even more amazing is that the three of them are all from Yingchuan County in Dahan, and it seems that Yingchuan Wuxushi's sentence is really not an empty talk.
The people in the teahouse talked a lot, and some people even stepped forward to talk to Guo Jiapan and make friends. Liu Wei on the side was even more shocked, but he didn't expect that the scribe in Tsing Yi turned out to be the legendary ghost Guo Jia. The yellow-clothed scribe claimed to be Shi Tao, Liu Wei didn't think about it at first, but later remembered that this Shi Tao was not Shi Guangyuan, Zhuge Liang's friend in Romance? Liu Bei also met him when he visited the thatched cottage three times. The gray-clothed scribe refused to reveal his name, could it be Zhuge Liang?
Liu Wei was excited for a moment, but soon realized that the gray-clothed scribe could not be Zhuge Liang. The age is not right, Zhuge Liang's current age is similar to Liu Xie, and the gray-clothed scribe is at least past the age of a weak crown.
Although this person cannot be Zhuge Liang, the person who can be with Shi Guangyuan must also be Cui Zhouping, Meng Gongwei and other figures. Listening to Guo Jia's tone just now, he seemed to know the details of the gray-clothed scribe, and he might be able to inquire about it from his mouth.
Liu Wei didn't expect that he would be able to catch so many big fish in one of his imperial examinations, and he laughed excitedly unconsciously.
Liu Xie was worried and watched Liu Wei drooling, and suddenly smiled excitedly, wondering if his imperial brother had suddenly fallen into evil.
"Brother Huang?" Liu Xie asked in a low voice.
"It's fine. I'm happy. Liu Wei wiped his saliva, stood up and walked to Guo Jia's table, still uncontrollable excitement in his heart, and even his walking posture was very grotesque.
Without Liu Wei's identity as a traverser, Liu Xie didn't know Guo Jia's ability, and Guo Jia's Mohist thoughts didn't make him agree with it very much, so Liu Wei showed such an excited expression towards Guo Jia, which made Liu Xie very puzzled. Thinking of some very bad rumors from Liu and Wei Yi after the election, Liu Xie suddenly felt cold. After two days, the imperial brother invited himself to take a bath and soak in the hot springs, and it seemed that he had to think about it.
Liu Wei walked to Guo Jia's seat and bowed, "Mr. Fengxiao." ”
Guo Jia looked sideways, and the person talking to him was a young man in white, with a fair face, handsome and extraordinary, and he felt a little fond of it inexplicably, so he got up and asked, "What's the matter with the little brother?" ”
Liu argued: "The two brothers admire Mr. Fengxiao's talent, so they take the liberty of inviting Mr. Fengxiao to come over and have a cup of tea and a few words." ”
Guo Jia happened to have nothing to do at this time, and when he saw Liu Bian's vigorous fist, he nodded in agreement and followed Liu Bian to their seats.
When Liu Xie saw Guo Jia coming, he also left his seat and got up to salute. When it was time to introduce himself, Liu Xie naturally would not reveal his identity, but it was sudden, and he didn't think of any fake names.
"In Xialu Ke, Luoyang people." Liu Wei pointed at Liu Xie again and said: "This is my brother Lu Dazhuang." ”
Liu Xie felt awkward in his heart. He didn't expect Liu Wei to react quickly, and the fake name came casually. I gave myself such a rustic name.
Liu Wei looked at him with a mischievous mockery, Liu Xie was angry, but he couldn't reveal his identity, so he had to sit back in his seat stupidly.
Liu Wei also pulled Guo Jia to sit down, and said to Guo Jia: "I just heard that Mr. is high-minded, and the kid admires it, dare to ask Mr. Is he coming to the capital to participate in the imperial examination?" ”
Guo Jia nodded and admitted: "That's exactly what I'm here for." Dare to ask the little brother Zhaojia for what advice he has here? ”
Liu Wei said humbly: "The kid is young and shallow, how dare he teach." I just heard Mr.'s high arguments, and I deeply feel that the shortcomings of my Han have accumulated and it is difficult to return, so I invite Mr. to come and ask for advice on how to save the country. ”
A way to save the country? Hearing this, Guo Jia looked at Liu Wei and Liu Xie curiously. The age of the two is only the age of the spoon, but they both pretend to be mature faces. Most children of this age have just finished their studies and are ignorant of state affairs. I'm afraid that the mind of having fun is higher than the concern of current affairs.
But seeing the serious attitude of the two at this time, Guo Jia couldn't help but guess the identities of the two of them. Although Liu Wei and Liu Xie were dressed plainly, the aristocratic aura on their bodies was difficult to hide. Especially Liu Xie, who has been educated aristocratic for more than ten years, has an aristocratic temperament in every gesture. Although Liu Wei has a casual personality and an aristocratic temperament that is not so obvious, he has listened to the government since he ascended the throne, and he naturally has the majesty of a superior person over time when he is in a high position.
Looking at the five or six guards sitting next to the two, all of them were strong, tall and mighty, and their vigilant eyes never left the two of them. Guo Jia guessed that the two of them must be the royal princes and nobles in Luoyang, but Guo Jia still didn't know which family's son.
Suddenly, Guo Jia thought of the two incomparably noble teenagers in the Luoyang Palace. It's just that this idea is fleeting, after all, in the Han Dynasty, this kind of thing was not as popular as it was during the Qing Dynasty, and most of the Han Dynasty emperors just stayed in the palace and abided by various etiquette rules that were in line with their status. Even Liu Hong, the emperor of Han Ling, who was so capable of messing around, did not go out in micro-clothes in order to experience the life of a businessman, but just imitated a folk market in the palace and enjoyed it by himself.
Maybe the two are just the sons of a certain noble family in Luoyang, greedy for fun, so they pretend to be mature and talk about the world with themselves.
Guo Jia was puzzled about the identity of Liu Wei and Liu Xie in his heart, but on the other side, someone had already discovered Liu Wei's true identity.
A waiter in a teahouse recognized Liu Wei and hurriedly reported it to Xun Qu.
"What? The Son of Heaven is coming? Xun Qu was taken aback when he heard the announcement. Disbelief, he asked, "Are you mistaken?" ”
The waiter was also unsure, but said: "The last time the teahouse opened, the Son of Heaven came with a small service, and it was the tea I was waiting for." At that time, although it was the guards who brought the tea away and then presented it to His Majesty, the little one still saw His Majesty from a distance, and he was very similar to the young man who had just come to the teahouse. ”
Hearing this, Xun Qu's heart also began to become unsteady, and he asked where Liu Wei was sitting, and quietly glanced at it from a distance.
The waiter was not sure of Liu Wei's appearance, but Xun Qu was very familiar with it. When I looked at it, I trembled with fright. Sure enough, the Son of Heaven came.
Xun Qu is not only the shopkeeper of the typhoon shelter teahouse, but also the person in charge of all the Xun family's business in Luoyang. For the interests of the Xun family in Luoyang, it is natural to consider it in detail. The arrival of the Son of Heaven is indeed the supreme glory of the typhoon shelter, but the Son of Heaven came in private clothes, and there are not many guards around him, if something really happens, the typhoon shelter teahouse really can't afford it. Moreover, it is easy to attract tongues, saying that they are flattering and seducing the Son of Heaven out of the palace to have fun.
Although the older generation of the Xun family, such as Xun Shuang and Xun Qi, have already become officials, but the young and middle-aged generations like Xun Yu and Xun Yu are in the rising stage in the imperial court, Xun Qu has to consider these people to avoid recruiting people and framing them, affecting their future.
Xun Qu returned to the inner hall and found his son Xun Qi to discuss countermeasures. Xun Qi couldn't think of anything for a while, lowered his head and pondered, Xun Qu said anxiously: "Why don't I wait to meet the Son of Heaven and ask the Son of Heaven to return to the palace." ”
Xun Qi objected: "Your Majesty came here in a small way, just because you don't want others to find out his identity, if we rush to visit him and expose Your Majesty's identity, it will inevitably cause Your Majesty's displeasure." Besides, His Majesty's identity is secret at this time, and he may be very safe. If the identity is exposed, some bad people take the opportunity to become disgusted, and it will not put His Majesty in danger. ”
Xun Qu felt in a dilemma, so he had to say: "Then we will pretend not to know, continue to let His Majesty stay, and wait for him to go by himself." ”
"No!" Xun Qi objected: "Father's words are wrong. The Son of Heaven is the Lord of all peoples, and his every move is a matter of thousands of peoples, and his behavior must conform to the rules of etiquette. If today's son goes out of the palace in private clothes and is indulged in pleasure, if we don't dissuade him, won't we lose the way of my subordinates. ”
Xun Qu nodded and said, "What Qi'er said makes sense. What do you think we should do now? ”
Xun Qi frowned and thought for a while, and finally came up with a solution.
"Has my father forgotten Uncle Xun Yu?"
Xun Qu was stunned, and immediately smiled, raised his forehead and said, "I almost forgot about Wen Ruo." He is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and it is only fitting for him to persuade him to return to His Majesty. ”
Xun Qu said that he would do it, and hurriedly arranged for someone to find Xun Yu. Xun Qi came to the hall of the teahouse, looked at Liu Wei next to the teahouse from a distance, and was talking happily with Guo Jia at this time. Looking at that look, I am afraid that Guo Jia is very favored by the Son of Heaven, and it is quite possible to show his strengths from then on.
Thinking of this, Xun Qi's heart moved.
He came to Luoyang from Yingchuan to take the imperial examination. And the purpose of the exam is ultimately to be able to enter the court as an official. Xun Qi is quite confident in his knowledge, but he also understands the importance of opportunity.
That Guo Jia met the Son of Heaven in the teahouse, and he could show his knowledge in front of the Son of Heaven, if he was appreciated by the Son of Heaven. Regardless of the ranking of the imperial examination in the future, his name and talent will be engraved in the mind of the Son of Heaven. Even if the career may not be smooth sailing, at least the start is better than others.
Although Xun Qi relies on the strength of his family, he may also have the opportunity to show his talent in front of the Son of Heaven, but Xun Qi also has the pride of his own scholars. His clan uncle Xun Yu and clan brother Xun Yu all won the favor of the Son of Heaven with their talents and learning. His own ability is not bad, so why rely on the shadow of the clan.
The opportunity was just around the corner, Xun Qi looked at Liu Wei in the distance, and his eyes began to burn. called the waiter of the teahouse, gave a low command, and quietly left to prepare. To be continued, stay tuned for the next chapter.
