A day later.

Kong Sheng and his entourage swaggered into a house not far from Gaofu arranged by Gao Liang, and the public name was a distant relative of Gaofu's relatives. And up and down the Gao Mansion, many people have already seen Kong Sheng himself or heard the name Kong Sheng

All in all, the old lady's nephew, a scholar surnamed Kong from Jiangnan, recently came to Gaofu to join his family, and the old lady was deeply valued, and such news spread far and wide.

In the past two days, Gao Chengyi's wife Zhou has twice called Kong Sheng into the mansion to speak, talking about nothing more than her sister-Kong Sheng's old things about the "grandmother Zhou Ping" made up in the mouth of Kong Sheng but coincided with the facts, mentioning the unfortunate changes of Fengxiang Zhou and her childhood experience of being adopted by the clan when she was less than ten years old and being cared for by Zhou Ping for several years, Zhou was embarrassed.

The Zhou family loves the house and Wu, and loves Kong Sheng very much, and has rewarded a lot of things one after another. He also passed the order in the mansion, and in the future, Kong Sheng could enter and leave the Gao Mansion freely, and he could come to see her at any time.

The more Zhou was so charitable and sincere, the more embarrassed Kong Sheng felt.

He didn't expect that the fictional background based on wild historical anecdotes would be crooked with Zhou's past. And this, based on Zhou's incomparable nostalgia and gratitude for Sister En, and based on Zhou's emotion and sadness about Fengxiang's Zhou family, it has become Kong Sheng's biggest umbrella for staying in Jiyin County.

And Gao Chengyi has not shown up.

Kong Sheng actually didn't expect to be trusted by Gao Chengyi. He didn't even want to see Gao Chengyi, his actions in Jiyin County were covered by Zhou's mother and son.

According to Kong Sheng's order, Su Lu and the others have been closed in the house. Go out occasionally. It is also under the guise of selling leather goods. I didn't dare to easily contact Su Wan, who lived in the same city, and any Xi leader.

Kong Sheng knew very well in his heart that at least for a period of time, he would still not completely get rid of suspicion and become the target of highlight surveillance.

From Su Lu to Mu Changfeng and the others, including the maid Manrou, no one understood how Kong Sheng did this. Kong Sheng didn't say it explicitly, and they didn't dare to get to the bottom easily.

As for Sulu's retinue, they lived quietly in another inn. Don't dare to act rashly. Of course, as leather merchants from the Northland, it is not appropriate for them to have no action to sell goods. Fortunately, Su Lu's subordinates were very shrewd and clever, and after receiving Su Lu's summons, they sold the leather goods they brought at a price 10% lower than the market price, and then symbolically purchased some local souvenirs and daily goods in Jiyin County.

It's afternoon.

Gao Liang sent someone to report in a hurry: "Kong Xiaolang, my old lady is invited!" ”

Kong Sheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This brother, I don't know what the old lady asked me to do?" ”

Gao Liang sent his soldiers. In fact, he is the house slave of Gaofu, this person is in his thirties and has a loyal and honest face. Seeing that Kong Sheng was so polite to him, he felt comfortable but also a little uneasy, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Kong family Xiaolang, the old lady set up a banquet in the inner mansion, and invited some scholars and ladies in the city to meet friends in writing, and specially invited you to participate. ”

Kong Sheng's face remained unchanged, and he immediately agreed, but he was a little helpless in his heart.

How is it a Wenhui again...... Is there no other form of social activity in these years? It is no wonder that the Tang Dynasty is called a dynasty of poetry by later generations, and poets with literary brilliance emerge in endlessly.

Kong Sheng immediately changed into a brand new green shirt, finished bathing, and then went out to Gaofu to attend the banquet. Manrou automatically followed out, and seeing that Kong Sheng had no objection to her following, she was still dressed as a scholar, and followed Kong Sheng into the Gao Mansion.

Don't look at it for only a few days, but Kong Sheng is also a nouveau riche and an old acquaintance in Gaofu. The guards and slaves at the gate were allowed to pass all the way with a green light, and someone specially took him respectfully to the banquet site set up by Gao Chengyi's wife Zhou in the back garden.

Don't look at Jiyin County is just a small city, but in today's war era, when this place is peaceful, it is inevitable that many literati from the surrounding areas will stay.

The Zhou family invited more than a dozen young scholars who were registered in the city, and there were also children of the city's official eunuchs, such as Gao Liang, men and women, all over the place, and there were probably dozens of people.

Zhou sat in the center behind the main case, flanked by two rows of crimson small desks, behind which sat well-dressed scribes. And behind the Zhou family, there are many young ladies and family members of the official eunuchs, and they are all three or five people at the table.

Seeing Kong Sheng coming slowly, a trace of pity flashed between Zhou's eyebrows, and she raised her hand and shouted: "Good grandson, come to the old body!" ”

Zhou's shout of "good grandson" made Kong Sheng's face blush slightly, and the young ladies present gathered their curious eyes on him, some were silent in thought, some glanced at it contemptuously, and some were indifferent.

Kong Sheng walked over quickly and bowed deeply to Zhou: "Meet the old lady!" ”

Zhou smiled slightly and pointed to the position reserved in advance on his side: "Good grandson, sit." ”

Kong Sheng didn't take a seat immediately, but continued to salute the highlight on the other side: "I've seen the third son!" ”

Gao Liang laughed and waved his hand sharply: "Kong family Xiaolang, in fact, you should call a certain family uncle!" ”

Kong Sheng was stunned and slightly embarrassed.

Zhou called his nephew, Gao Liang, as the youngest son of the cleanup, didn't he become his uncle.

Fortunately, Gao Liang was only half-joking, and he didn't take it seriously, and when he saw Kong Sheng stunned, he smiled and motioned for him to take a seat.

Kong Sheng sat down, and Zhou glanced at Gao Liang.

Gao Liang got up, smiled loudly, and shook his head: "Everyone, my mother set up a banquet in the back garden today, in addition to mentioning the younger generations to meet friends with texts, there is also the idea of choosing a son-in-law for Xueli's sister." Therefore, the leader of today's literary test will not only be rewarded by his mother, but will also become the fiancé of Xueli's sister! ”

As soon as Gao Liang's words came out, the scholars present were shocked, and they all lowered their heads and whispered.

The "Xueli" sister in Gao Liang's mouth is actually Gao Chengyi's loyal servant, and she has stayed in Gaofu as a maid since she was five or six years old, and was raised by Zhou's grace, and she is considered Zhou's righteous daughter. Because Gao Chengyi has three sons under his knees and no daughters, Xueli is also very loved by Gao Chengyi and his wife.

This woman is seventeen years old and is a well-known beauty in Jiyin County. But her marriage has always been high and low, and it has been staggering to this day. Those with high portals dislike her for having a low background - nominally an adopted daughter, but in fact a maid-like figure, unwilling to marry home as a wife, and those with a low portal do not meet the requirements of the Gao family.

Besides, this woman's heart is also very high, and ordinary men are not in her eyes.

Therefore, the Zhou family hit the idea on the young scholars in the city.

Gao Liang smiled, turned around and bowed to Zhou: "Such a grand event, please ask your mother to come up with a question!" ”

The corner of Kong Sheng's eyes swept from a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl sitting half behind Zhou, although this woman did not have the beauty of sinking fish and geese, but she was also pink and white, lightly swept moth eyebrows, plump body, if you score by posture, you can score about 80 points.

Kong Sheng glanced at it and sat upright.

The Wenhui who chose a son-in-law in this way had nothing to do with him, and he decided to just watch the excitement as a bystander today, barely perfunctory to the enthusiasm of the next Zhou family. (To be continued.) )
