Chapter 39: Brother

"Who are you going to visit tomorrow?" Wang An rested on the eldest girl's lap, and the eldest girl rubbed his forehead. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Tomorrow, I should go back to the Xindu Marquis Mansion and see my brother." The big girl replied.

In fact, Wang An doesn't want to see his brother, judging from the news he gets, Wang Yu is a stupid person who reads books, he only knows how to read according to the book and doesn't know how to be flexible, probably his teachers and friends are so-called Confucian celebrities, most of them have not entered the officialdom, and only two or three are also not good careers.

"Are you ready for the gifts?"

"According to Lang Jun's instructions, most of them are children's belongings, as well as a few sets of four treasures in the study, plus a few boxes of paper."

"That's enough," Wang An said, Wang Yu is Wang An's brother after all, and if he gives more people, he still cares about what money is between brothers, and family affection is the most important; If you give it less, some people will say that it is worth it between brothers, and whether you want family affection.

"How does Lang Jun plan to place Kong Fu?" The eldest girl asked.

Wang An thought for a while: "I'll talk to Shi Duan tomorrow and let Shi Duan teach Kong Fu." In front of Shi Duan, Kong Fu is a little baby. ”

"What about the women? Do you really want to be a servant girl? ”

Thinking of the eight maid queens, Ann had a headache, and also, Chengdu Hou's face couldn't get over it; If you don't pay it back, your father won't be able to get by: "Write a letter to tell the adults, how to deal with it, you have to ask your father and mother." The eldest girl wanted to get up, but Wang An pulled her: "Let's sleep here tonight, I'm ready to move today." ”

"No"

The next day, Wang An came together and summoned Wei Xuan and asked him to arrange for the guards to go to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion to wander around, after all, these guards are also people with strong blood, not to mention that there are eight more maids in these two days, so be more careful. Wei Xuan saluted: "Thank you Lang Jun for the subordinate brothers, anyway, the Qinglou Chu Pavilion starts to solicit business in the evening, and the subordinates will arrange for them to go in turns, and there will be no mistakes." Wang An continued: "Don't wronged yourself Leader Wei, anyway, someone pays for it, right, Brother Kong Fu?" Kong Fu smiled embarrassedly.

Wang An found Shi Duan and asked him to help take care of Kong Fu, and also taught him by the way, so that Kong Fu didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were, and thought how capable he was.

Wang An took Kong Xun under the protection of Wei Xuan, rode out of the inn, and went to the new capital Marquis Mansion located in Shangguanli, and when entering and exiting Anmen, he unexpectedly met Xu Lai, who was about to go out of the city, and the two hurriedly greeted each other and parted ways. Xu Lai instructed his entourage: "Inquire where this person lives?" ”

When I arrived at Shangguanli, I found the new capital Hou Mansion. Compared with the Chengdu Hou Mansion, the Xindu Hou Mansion is much smaller, mainly because Wang Mang does not have so many concubines, only a few heirs, and there are not many servants. The entire Hou Mansion is mainly gray, not as ostentatious as the Chengdu Hou. Although there were few servants at the door, they were very energetic, and when one of them saw Wang An dismounting, he immediately ran up to salute: "San Langjun is back, Da Langjun is entertaining, Lang Jun, please wait for a while." ”

Wang An didn't answer his words, but said, "Go to my original residence and lead the way." This person had no choice but to arrange for someone to inform Wang Yu and lead Wang An to his original residence.

"It turns out that Mr. Second used to live in such a remote place." Turning around and returning to the courtyard where Wang An used to live, Kong Xun sighed while watching. "I didn't like people in the mansion before, except for the second brother who defended me. Before the adults made their careers, the second brother fought a lot for me. Wang An said while touching, "There have been several servant girls who have served me, and only the eldest girl has been with me for the longest time." ”

Wang An asked the servant, "Who did my brother entertain?" ”

"Lu Kuan and Xue Kuan."

"Do they come often or occasionally?"

"Lu Kuan is Da Langjun's brother-in-law, Xue Kuan and Lu Kuan are friends, and the three of them are friends."

Wang An paced a few steps: "Since my brother is still entertaining guests, it is inconvenient for me to be a younger brother, I have to go back to read books and prepare for the exam, please tell my brother, I will leave first." ”

Wang An and Kong Xun walked out of the Hou Mansion, Wang An led the horse, and said to the servant: "There is a word to help me tell my brother, Li Ji and Lu Lu are also friends." ”

Wang An and Kong Xun were riding on horses, and Kong Xun asked, "Where else is Mr. Second going to go?" ”

Wang An replied: "Didn't you say just now, you have to go back to read books and prepare for the exam, and you can't break your word and get fat." ”

Wang Yu sent Lu Kuan and Xue Guo away, this asked about Wang An's situation, the servants answered one by one, hearing that Wang An took a step first, the smile on Wang Yu's face was gone, and when he heard Wang An say, "Li Ji and Lu Lu are also friends", his face became even more ugly, and he left without saying a word.

The servant asked the steward beside Wang Yu: "San Langjun's words are the same intention, why is Da Langjun very unhappy?" ”

The steward saw that Wang Yu had gone away, so he explained: "Lu Lu is the nephew of Empress Gao, in charge of the Northern Army, Li Ji and Lu Lu are good friends, Zhou Bo, the Marquis of Jiang, wanted to coerce Li Ji, so that Li Ji invited Lu Lu to go out to play, Lu Lu left the Northern Army, and the Marquis of Jiang took the opportunity to control the Northern Army, resulting in the destruction of the Lu family of the Nine Clans. San Lang Jun is to remind Da Lang Jun to be careful of your friends. ”

Wang An returned to the inn and found that Shen Tuchen had suddenly returned, and happily stepped forward to salute. Shen Tuchen said: "My father asked me to come to my uncle and grandson, saying that you are safer. Wang An'an thought, probably Shen Tu'an gave His Majesty a doctor, and there were many people staring at him, worried that someone would be unfavorable to Shen Tuchen, and staying for one more day would be more dangerous, so he asked him to come to Wang An.

"How about Zikuan opening a medical clinic here?" Wang An proposed.

Shen Tuchen shook his head: "My father asked me not to be too public, he asked me to visit Lou Hulou Junqing, saying that this person is also a famous doctor, but unfortunately he went to be an official, this person is now dismissed, just to learn medical skills with him." ”

At this time, Xu Lai came in from outside the door, walked in front of Wang An and saluted, "I've seen Lang Jun." "Then hand an invitation to Wang An, and the head of the family invited Lang Jun to go to the banquet tonight." An attendant stepped forward with a box, and Xu Lai said: "Miss Yuan, thank you Lang Jun for your kindness, these are ten gold cakes, talk about gratitude." Wang An did not refuse, this money was just given to Wei Xuan and them. Wang An took the invitation: "I must go to the banquet on time tonight." ”

"Your Majesty, this is the list of candidates for this year's Gambit General Shuaike." Prime Minister Wang Jia presented a stack of rosters to the emperor, and a eunuch took it and put it on the table. The emperor flipped through a few people and asked, "Have all the people arrived?" Wang Jia replied: "The people from all counties have arrived, Weichen, may I ask Your Majesty when the examination will start and where it will be located?" Shi Shou took out the Taichu calendar and presented it to His Majesty, and the emperor flipped it over: "On October 21, the examination venue was set in the Xuanshu Palace. ”

"Where's the exam question?"

"I will personally come up with the question and hand it over to the prime minister at that time. You can notify the examiner of the message. ”

"No"

Shi Shou hurriedly walked into the greenhouse hall with a letter and said to the emperor: "Someone accused the king of Dongping and the princess of rebellion. The emperor took the fold and looked at it carefully: "The Tingwei Mansion immediately sent someone to arrest the rebels." ”
