Hearing these discussions between Zhu Gongzi and Jia Gongzi, except for the two women who could drink tea calmly, the other people's eyes lit up.

Although they were all selected from the mansion of the capital, after all, unlike Zhu Gongzi and Jia Gongzi, they were just guests.

When the old man asked them to come over, they were all indignant, and the old man left a similar sentence.

"If you are lucky enough to stay in Yongzhou Mansion, you will remember the good of the old man in the future. ”

At that time, I thought that these old men were just to send them away, so they saved some face and said things like that, but now it seems that the situation is not so simple.

After they arrived at Yongzhou Mansion, they first inquired about the situation of Taishou Mansion in Yongzhou City, only to know that they were not so popular.

Counting them this time, I don't know how many waves of people were sent by the capital to be Mr. or companion to Yongzhou Taishou's daughter, but these gentlemen were like inspectors from the imperial court who went out of the city to inspect them, and they went back in a daze not long after they came.

"Is there any other way to say this, who is the companion in this sentence?" asked one of them hurriedly, all of which they did not know.

"Since it's all said and done, there's nothing to hide, in fact, Lord Li Taishou doesn't take it too seriously, right, Zhu Gongzi. Jia Gongzi was not sure whether to say it or not, so he threw the conversation to Zhu Gongzi.

"Yes, Jia Gongzi, although the imperial court has been very tacitly hidden from the outside world over the years, the officials of the various ministries privately do not know how much manpower and material resources to send to find that companion. Zhu Gongzi said.

"I heard that at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lord Yuwen, who wrote the history of Taiwu, once asked Emperor Taiwu for instructions on whether Li Taishou wrote the first half of his life truthfully, or hid the paragraph of the companion. Later, Emperor Taiwu gave instructions, the founder of our dynasty, Wang Wentao Wuluo, should be the first, where is there any general history companion?"

Zhu Gongzi continued: "Since then, the members of the imperial court have tacitly concealed the relevant deeds of the companions. Things that weren't so widely known in the first place became even less known later. ”

"What kind of sacredness is that companion to read, it makes all the adults so nervous, and Emperor Taiwu is also so vigilant. A scholar asked.

"Brother Tai's words must not be said again, today this words are from your mouth, and they have not entered our ears. After Zhu Gongzi heard the scholar's words, he hurriedly stopped it.

The scholar was about to pick up the teacup and drink tea, when he heard Zhu Gongzi say this, the teacup in his hand was unstable, fell to the ground, and shattered.

The so-called misfortune comes from the mouth, and it is nothing more than that.

Seeing this, the other person looked out the door, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhu and Jia's two sons: "Companion reader, is it just a rumor or is there really someone?"

Jia Gongzi looked at Zhu Gongzi and saw that he didn't say anything, so he said: "There is indeed such a person, but it can only be inferred from the clues in the book." As for whether he is a man or a woman, he is not known how old he is, what his appearance is, and no one even knows what his name is, but there is indeed such a person. ”

"Everything about him seems to have never appeared, according to later speculation, the companion is likely to accompany Li Taishou for a period of time, but the people of the Li Mansion have no impression of this person, and even Li Taishou himself can't remember, even a little bit about the companion. ”

"So how did others deduce that there was such a reading companion?" asked the scholar who had dropped the teacup just now.

"In the history books, there is also Li Taishou who was later found in the codex, and according to sporadic records, such a companion was pieced together. ”

"Is this the case?" asked one of the two women, who had been quiet.

"Yes!" replied the other woman.

"The same person?" asked the first woman to speak.

"Same person!" replied the other again.

Then they didn't speak again, staring into the teacups in a daze.

Several other scholars heard their questions and answers, and at first they were puzzled.

After savoring it, they were all surprised, and then showed their faces like this. At this time, they realized that they were not familiar with the two women and did not know where they came from.

After a hiccup, the scholars continued their conversation.

"What is written in the history books?" asked one of the scholars, eager to know about this mysterious companion who would help them in their future careers.

"The records of this aspect in the history books of the previous dynasties were closely collected by the imperial family, and only some people saw them when there was no state at that time. No one knows exactly how it is recorded, but the most widely circulated is that this companion has been vaguely appearing since there were historical records, and he was called a general historian before. It is not known what exactly this person did, where he appeared, or what name he used. ”

"If that is the case, then why have so many people always believed in his existence?"

"The boat supporter firmly believes in his existence!" Zhu Gongzi said again.

"Boat supporter?" the two scholars said suspiciously.

"Boatman?!" more people cried out in surprise.

"The existence of the boatman is also unfounded, but more people believe that he also existed, and that, like the companions, he existed when there were historical records. Zhu Gongzi explained that there were obviously two scholars who did not know about the boatman.

"The saying of companion reading people is still ten years before the founding of Emperor Taiwu, someone picked up Li Taishou's private codex in a war-torn place, saw the record in it, and only after demerit did he know that there was such a person. Jia Gongzi added.

"The person who picked up the codex, in order to ask Emperor Taiwu for credit, said that Li Taishou colluded with outsiders and wanted to be unfavorable to Emperor Taiwu. In fact, at that time, Li Taishou was a master of high merit, and there were not a few people who were jealous of him, but Emperor Taiwu did not doubt that he was employing people, had a broad mind, and did not believe that person's slander, but returned the codex to Li Taishou. At the same time, the person who found the Codex was warned not to leak the matter. ”

Later, when the man saw that the invitation failed, there would be a disaster, and Taiwu must have a grudge against him, so he went to the former dynasty with a secret. But he disappeared on the road and hasn't been seen for more than a decade. ”

I didn't know what was written on the codex at the time, but later Li Taishou made part of the codex public in order to avoid suspicion, and people knew what the codex recorded. ”

But Li Taishou said that he had nothing to do at that time to record the things casually, otherwise why he never mentioned the name of that person was because he didn't remember the name in his dream, and he couldn't even remember when these things happened. ”

After Jia Gongzi said this, he took a sip of tea and looked at everyone: "These are all stories that have been circulated among the great officials of the imperial court, and I don't know if they are true or false." ”

"What is written in the Codex?" the scholar asked anxiously when he saw him finish his tea.

"I don't know about that, my father didn't tell me, and told me that less is better. Jia Gongzi said.

At this time, Zhu Gongzi shook his fan and said: "I know a little bit about this, and it is also a sentence, my grandfather was one of Taiwu's most trusted advisers back then, and he saw the person who picked up the codex to invite merit." Once my grandfather was drunk, and when he told me a story, he was all sad, saying that he was old and didn't know how long he could live, and he was afraid that he would not have the opportunity to see his companion in this life, and then said very gloomily, 'The wind in Yongzhou rises, and the son stays.' Childe, did you stay at that time?'"

Later, when I asked my grandfather what he meant by that, he denied that he had said such a thing, and told me that I had never heard such a thing, and I thought it was this sentence in the codex that allowed the inviter to frame Li Taishou. ”

When Zhu Gongzi finished speaking, several scholars fell silent.

The two women present also continued to be silent...
