Xu Xun was very comfortable and comfortable when he was recuperating from his injuries in the Guozi Priest's Sacrifice Wine Zhangmao Official Mansion.

Zhang Mao is not high, and his life is extremely frugal and hard, and it is not easy to live in Nanjing, although he has two sons and one grandson, but none of them have been brought to his side, but by the old wife Guo Shi to farm in Lanxi, although there are as many as four or five official houses, but only use the old servant and a small servant, the old servant and the cook, the small house also has a scholar, several rooms are often the study and living room, the kitchen and the utility room, it can be said that people do their best to make the best use of things. As soon as Xu Xun moved in like this, and there were two small servants, the place naturally seemed crowded, however, the medicinal herbs, supplements, vegetables, meat, etc. sent by all parties made the Zhang family's month like the New Year.

I didn't know that Xu Xun was the main cause of the first two Guozijian uproars, out of love for this young man, or out of the habit of being a teacher for many years, every night when he came back to test the injury, Zhang Mao would always have nothing to give a lecture to Xu Xun. Xu Xun was just listening to it at first, but gradually tasted a different taste, so Suo asked Ruisheng Tao Hong to follow him.

Although the two little guys have different surnames, under the influence of this great Confucian in the literary world, a few allusions and idioms can often burst out between the lines of the words, not to mention the recognition and writing. As for Xu Xun, he has gained a lot, and most of the people who can do it are not idlers, not to mention that Zhang Mao has been teaching and educating people for decades, how can the foundation of this scripture and history be solid and rich to describe. Occasionally, when he found out that Zhang Mao supported trade with Fanguo to relieve the people's hardship when he was in Fujian, he gradually changed his perception of this old gentleman who was only learned but stubborn, and sometimes he unwittingly took out some historical essence views of later generations to discuss and argue with him.

But whenever Zhang Mao exhaustively investigates his arguments, he attributes them all to the gentleman who wrote "Xiongguan Mandao is as true as iron, and now he is stepping forward from the beginning". With his fame, the long scroll that was given to Xu Yu has been circulated, except for Fu Rong and Chen Lu, everyone else thought that this person had left Nanjing to take up his post, Xu Xun never mentioned it, and Zhang Mao had no choice. After a relationship with Xu Xun, he felt that although Xu Xun's historical background was insufficient, all kinds of fresh arguments were unheard of, so on the one hand, it was rooted in the teachings of that gentleman, and on the other hand, he had a heart of cherishing talents.

Although Xu Xun is a bold surname, he can see that Zhang Mao's life is hard but sweet, and he is knowledgeable but he can put down the shelf and argue with his own little character. Because Zhang Mao allowed him to flip through those books at will, as soon as he turned to a collection of poems and anthologies on the shelf, he looked for Zhang Mao and said that he wanted to copy them. He originally gave it a try, but unexpectedly, Zhang Mao gave it to him without saying a word, and even said something that made Xu Xun both moved and ashamed.

"Although you have delayed a lot of time when you were a child, if you start studying hard from now on, you will definitely succeed in your career within ten years."

Xu Xun really couldn't accept this kindness. Ten years is short, but it is long, if his body is a child, if he has not encountered many things before, then he will definitely try to worship this Shilin Confucian as a teacher wholeheartedly, but now he can only give up. In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and the old and the young have unknowingly become New Year's friends, talking about everything about astronomy and geography. I don't know if it's because of my physique, or if I was injured a lot in the street in the past, or if the doctors invited by Fu Rong are all healing saints, although Xu Xun can't exercise vigorously, his arm is already moving, and the first scar of the wound has fallen. On this day, he was arguing with Zhang Mao about the advantages and disadvantages of shipping and transportation, and there was a hearty laugh outside.

"Zhang Weng has rare knowledge in the world, and I can't imagine that there are still people who dare to get an axe in front of you."

With this laughter, it was Xu Li, the Duke of Wei, who walked in. He is not like Fu Rong, he has come three or four times in person these days, and this is the first time he has come to the door. Seeing Zhang Mao saluting, he hurriedly returned the salute, and saw that Xu Xun on the bed was also about to come forward to meet him with the support of the two little guys on the side, so he waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, your serious injury has not healed yet, it is better to move less." I came today because your background has been clarified, and Gonggong Fu entrusted me to invite Zhang Weng, so that the two of us can preside over it for you and Xu Liang together, so as not to stop this discussion among the people. ”

"Oh, you've already found it out?"

Zhang Mao is the seal official of the Guozijian, and there are countless things to worry about every day, so I have just heard about this matter. Seeing that Xu Li explained these many reasons and evidence in detail, he looked at Xu Xun and sighed: "I didn't expect such a change in an instant. It's just that heroes don't ask about their origins, you are so loyal, filial and benevolent, and there will be good rewards in the future. Wei Guogong went back but please inform Gonggong Fu, I agreed to this matter, and I will inform me earlier, I will invite Hengda, Standby and Zhang Gongshi together! ”

Xu Xun has been with Zhang Mao for a long time these days, and he already has a good understanding of the clear streams in Nanjing City, so he naturally understands that the three people Zhang Mao said plus Mr. Zhang himself are the famous Four Gentlemen of Nandu. is different from hypocrites like Zhao Qin, who deceive the world and steal fame, although these four have their own stubbornness, but it is extremely difficult for people to find flaws in their character, and the face that Zhang Mao gave him is simply not ordinary!

So, he who had calculated Zhang Mao twice this time was really a little scared: "Master Zhang, there are so many adults who work, isn't it too exciting......

"Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and kindness should be well commended, and it is also appropriate to rejuvenate the teacher and mobilize the public with a positive atmosphere!"

Xu Li, the Duke of Wei, has always been good friends with civil officials, and he is even more courteous to Shilin leaders like Zhang Mao, so he knows how difficult these people are to deal with. At this moment, seeing that Xu Xun's humble words were called back by Zhang Mao involuntarily, he was puzzled and funny in his heart, and secretly wondered if he said the good things that Xu Xun and Wang Shikun had done together before, then Zhang Mao's nose would be crooked. However, he has always insisted that he needs to be the icing on the cake to do things, so he naturally would not do this kind of offending thing, and only smiled and praised Zhang Weng's elder demeanor and benevolence, which made Mr. Zhang even happier.

With the presence of such top figures, the next thing is much easier. Zhang Fuhua and others were full of praise for Xu Xun's previous two charitable acts of donating land to the house, and as soon as Zhang Mao asked, they agreed; As for Chengguo Gong Zhu Fu, he really didn't want to come, but he was impeached for dereliction of duty by the Yanguan only two days ago, and this time he was afraid that he would be caught and make a fuss if he didn't show up, so the surname Suo agreed. On the contrary, Fu Rong was recuperating at home due to the heatstroke, and only let his adopted son Fu Hengan go to join in the fun.

This time, Xu Li, the Duke of Wei, as the same surname, deservedly presided over the recognition of the father and son in the main hall of the Duke of Wei's mansion. Seeing Xu Xun bowing in front of Xu Liang, he couldn't help but stroke his beard and smiled, and smiled at Zhang Mao on the side: "This Xu Liang is really a blessing!" ”

"That's right, even if it's a scholar now, it's difficult to train such a good child!" Zhang Mao did not hesitate to praise himself, and suddenly remembered another incident, and his face showed a sigh, "Only this Xu Xun is really unlucky, his fiancée voted for Qinhuai River before, but he went to the Shen family to admit this family business, and it is a continuation of the family to marry later, and most of those good families who have daughters will be disgusted." Alas, if the old man didn't have a daughter, this son-in-law wouldn't be cheap! ”

Zhang Mao's outspokenness immediately drew laughter from all around. Only Zhang Fuhua and others are not so straightforward, even if there is really a daughter to be married in the family, they finally feel that Xu Xun is just a white body, just a smile. However, Fu Hengan thought of his sister-in-law, his eyes flickered a little, and he secretly thought that the hero didn't ask where he came from, and he could mention it to his father when he turned around. When a large group of people didn't mention it with emotion, the voice of the chief manager suddenly came from outside the main hall of the Wei State Mansion.

"Master, my lords, there are angels from the capital outside! It was Grandpa Sun who was last time, and said that he had a will for Xu Gongzi! ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Liang and Xu Xun, who had just recognized each other as a group of harmonious fathers and sons, were taken aback, and there was silence in the main hall full of friends. After a while, Xu Li, as the master, was the first to react, but he immediately stood up and coughed dryly: "Since Father-in-law Sun has a will for Xu Gongzi, hurry up and prepare incense cases and other things!" Xu Xun, what are you still doing in a daze, get out quickly! ”

No one expected this sudden scene, so seeing Xu Xun hurriedly going out, Xu Liang couldn't put his mind at ease, and while no one noticed him, he hurriedly slipped out. Seeing that the guests were full of discussions, Zhang Mao smiled and said: "When the bandit case was closed before, I co-starred with Lord Wu of Wei Guogong Xu Xun's deeds, presumably the emperor also intends to praise his loyalty and filial piety again, which must be a good thing!" ”

Although there are still many people muttering in their hearts, Zhang Mao said so, and there was no worried expression on the face of Xu Li, the Duke of Wei, and everyone naturally echoed it, and some quietly exchanged heads. It wasn't until Wanquan from the outside came to report again, saying that everything was ready, and Yiying people waited for others to go out to greet each other under the leadership of Xu Li, the Duke of Wei. For the Nanjing officialdom who has only experienced Zhao Qin's case, Sun Bin, the master of ceremonies and the master of ceremonies, is already an old acquaintance. But the more this is the case, the more people are amazed that this person ran twice in succession between the capital and Nanjing on a very hot day. However, when the decree was read aloud, the crowd was stunned.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: Xu Xun, a native of Taipingli, Jiangning County, Tianfu, is loyal, filial piety, benevolent, sensitive and studious. In the past, there was a donation of land to repair the water conservancy and tribute institute, just to find the whereabouts of his adoptive father; Later, there was a reward for the poor students in Shilin, and they were dedicated to the positive atmosphere. Cha Xi said that his relatives did not collude with bandits, and Xun stepped forward to protect his biological father, and his filial piety was commendable. The imperial court uses people to select talents, virtuous and virtuous character, and Xu Xun Xun is hereby awarded to guard the scattered horsemen, and after the edict, he and his father Xu Liang immediately entered Beijing, and admired this. ”

Guards scattered riders? Even if it's a compliment, how can you have such a title?
