Chapter 22: There Is a Little Sister (Part I)

Seeing that Wang Shu's face was about to make intimate contact with the ground, Cang Bayan was in a hurry and hugged him, only then did he hear Wang Guang's fake voice: "Alas, second brother, why are you so careless, it seems that what I said to you in the car is in vain!" Before Wang Shu could react, the outspoken Cang San said: "I obviously saw that you pushed the second son off the carriage!" Wang Guang saw that his behavior was seen through, and he even said without blushing or heartbeat: "Bold, damn slave, I originally wanted to tell your son-in-law to slow down, who knew that he would fall off the carriage as soon as he met him, and I will explain this matter to my middle father when I turn back, and then I will worry about you." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Wang Shu knows, from now on, it must be fireproof, anti-theft, and anti-Wang Guang, this kid is not only ruthless, but also thick-skinned. But he didn't fall, and he was at his teacher's door, so Wang Shu could only give up temporarily.

Coming to the door of the Confucian Mansion, this time the gatekeeper not only did not stop Wang Huo and a group of people out of the door like last time, but opened the door early, and even in addition to saluting Wang Mang, the new marquis, he also gave Wang Shu a salute, and Wang Shu hurriedly returned the salute after seeing it. Wang Xu learned through his conversation with Kong Xiu that this porter is not only an old man who has followed Kong Xiu for many years like his own porter, but the key is that he is also the brother of Mrs. Kong Xiu.

As soon as he accompanied Wang Mang into Confucius's mansion, Wang Shu saw Kong Xiu greeted him with a smile on his face, and there was a large group of people around him, thinking that it should be his closest relatives and friends. It stands to reason that Sun Xiu should greet him outside the gate, although Kong Xiu, the minister of state, was appointed by the Nanyang County Guard, for Wang Mang, the new marquis, Kong Xiu is only responsible for helping to manage the food and collect taxes on time, and Wang Mang has no right to ask about other things, but whether it is nominally or according to the rank, Sun Xiu should stand outside the gate early, but the idea of the prince of heaven and earth has been recognized by the scholars at this time, and today Wang Mang accompanied Wang Shu to apprentice in the name of the student's parents, so Wang Shu knew that Kong Xiu was not rude to do this.

Wang Mang saw Kong Xiu come out to greet him, and before he could speak, he opened his mouth first: "Brother Boren, Zhongsun has always been stubborn, but he has been suffering from not being disciplined by a strict teacher, and he doesn't want you to look at him differently, so I will entrust it to you, if this kid does something wrong in the future, please discipline him strictly." Kong Xiu saw Wang Mang say this, and hurriedly said: "Since Zhongsun worships under my door, discipline is naturally indispensable, and then you, the father, will not feel distressed." Then the two looked at each other and laughed, and everyone echoed.

Wang Mang saw that Wang Shu was still standing stupidly on the spot, so he said sharply: "What are you doing standing here stupidly, why don't you hurry up and present the bundle?" Wang Shu hurriedly took the white jade, inkstone, brush and dried meat prepared in advance from Cang San's hand, knelt on the ground and presented it to Kong Xiu. Wang Guang saw that Wang Shu didn't bring the gold as well, and thought that he had forgotten, and he didn't care what Kong Xiu was saying, so he snatched the tray of gold that Cang Ba held in his hand and put it next to Kong Xiu, but by coincidence, the plate was crooked "accidentally" when it was placed, and the gold was scattered all over the ground. Then I saw Wang Guang picking up gold all over the ground, and at the same time kept saying loudly: "What is this gold, how is this gold ......?" but until he picked up all the gold on the plate, he did not say what happened to the gold. Wang Xu naturally knew what Wang Guang wanted to do, but of course the result was a big disappointment for him.

It is estimated that Wang Mang also knew about Wang Guang's replacement of gold with copper, but he couldn't imagine that this nephew could do such a thing, so he watched Wang Guang's performance angrily, and couldn't say a word, until someone next to Kong Xiu asked Wang Guang: "What happened to this gold?" Wang Guang saw that there was no copper cake hidden by himself in the gold, so naturally there was no way to say that the gold was fake, but he was also smart, so he simply didn't do anything, and he didn't even care about offending Wang Mang, so he opened his mouth and said: "I mean there is too much gold!" ”

As soon as these words were spoken, they were suddenly silent on the spot, and it is estimated that more than one person scolded Wang Guang in his heart: How much gold is your business, and the new capital of the Hou Mansion is rich and rich, what is this bit of gold. But everyone present, including Wang Mang and Kong Xiu, had no way to open their mouths. Speaking of which, is it true that Wang Mang is stupid enough to say that his family's money is very willing, or let Kong Xiu say that he is greedy for money? Seeing that a good apprenticeship ceremony was about to be stirred up by Wang Guang, no one could have imagined that Wang Shu would open his mouth: "Teacher, this gold is not the apprenticeship that my father prepared for his disciples, my father only prepared four kinds of white jade, inkstone, brush and meat for his disciples, as for the gold, it was because when I visited my wife a few days ago, I saw that my wife's face was a little haggard, so the disciple begged my mother to take 50 catties of yellow catties for my mother's medical treatment." So the disciple didn't present it just now, and he didn't expect that the eldest brother mistook it for a bundle, so he made a joke. ”

This is not that Wang Shu is lying, because he has already told his parents before that gold should be given, but it cannot be given as an apprenticeship ceremony, it can be given to Kong Xiu's wife for health preservation, you must know that no matter which dynasty or generation, once it comes to health preservation, it is possible to spend as much as it takes, so this not only conforms to Wang Mang's identity, but also takes care of Kong Xiu's face. Wang Mang and his wife didn't know until this time that Mrs. Kong Xiu had also seen her son, and they didn't care about anything else at that time, so they almost gave Wang a three-hall trial, forcing him to explain clearly how he met Mrs. Kong, what Mrs. Kong asked, and Mrs. Kong's attitude towards him. Only then did Wang Shu know that in the Western Han Dynasty, if he could meet the other party's family, either someone in that family was a little interesting to him, or he had a very good relationship with the other party. As for the relationship between himself and Kong Xiu, he had just talked about it at that time, and it was naturally impossible to say whether the relationship was good or not, so in the eyes of his parents, it may be that someone in Kong Xiu's family has taken a fancy to him, but Wang Shu didn't believe it when he was killed.

Hearing Wang Shu's explanation, everyone said hello to Wang Mang and Kong Xiu, saying that one of them gave birth to a filial son, and the other was a good disciple, Kong Xiu was naturally smiling, Wang Mang took the opportunity to let Wang Shu make gentleman's tea for everyone on the spot for everyone to taste, when everyone drank the tea, and heard Wang Shu's explanation, naturally all of them said wonderful. As for Wang Guang, he had already taken the opportunity to sneak away.
