Chapter 14: The Night Banquet of Xunfu

Zhu Cheng's identity came out in a very short period of time, not because of his official position as a thief lieutenant, but as a son of his family. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe source is unknown, but someone with a little ability can find out, and the source is from Xunfu.

It is said that it was accidentally passed on by a steward, but most of the stewards in these years were served by the sons of the family, and they were well raised since childhood, so the only possibility that some gossip could be passed on was Xun Jian's acquiescence.

In fact, Xun Jian's move is also very simple: it is nothing more than to tell everyone that this Zhu Cheng is different from Zhu Jun, who was born in a poor family and became famous by luck, he is his own person, everyone must understand some rules, so as not to be doubted by the countrymen from the south of the Yangtze River The quality of our Central Plains family.

Regardless of whether Xun Jian meant this or not, anyway, after the other families got the news, they all thought so. So from the next day, the atmosphere of the entire Yangzhai County has completely changed, and Zhu Chengdu almost didn't know him.

First of all, those small families in the local area sent prayer posts, and even sent gifts, and they didn't ask Zhu Cheng to go to the banquet or anything, but just said that everyone was close to each other. In terms of status, the Zhu family of Wu County, where Zhu Cheng is located, belongs to a medium-sized family, which is higher than the status of those small families, so even if there is no connection, those small families don't mind forming a good relationship.

Secondly, the middle family also took out a greeting post, which also included Nayang Zhai Wei's, and attached a thin gift. Everyone has the same status, so there is no need to be polite, just communicate on an equal footing. If you don't like it, it's okay to nod your head, but in the general environment, unless you plan to completely kill and exterminate the other party, it's always hard to tear your face.

The last is the big family, there are no old families here in Yangzhai, but Zhu Cheng doesn't need to be too angry, I think Zhu Jun has already seen this, so he let him come to Yangzhai, right?

However, Xun Jian also sent a steward to bring a return gift and an invitation, saying that they had a good conversation last night, and invited Zhu Cheng to go to the house again tonight. At the same time, it said that some young heroes from Yingchuan will also visit, and everyone can communicate and exchange, which is almost what it means.

The gift in return made Zhu Cheng a little speechless, but it was the silk book of "Xunzi", "Han Feizi" and "Guanzi". The content is a little different from what I gave out, mainly in terms of segmentation. Especially next to it, there are a lot of small characters, which seem to be the annotation of this passage, perhaps Xun Jian's reading comprehension analysis.

In fact, this is the most precious thing, not to mention admission in these years, it is rare to find a book to die. Even if you have a book to read, it is difficult to understand the true meaning of a text without a teacher to teach you how to distinguish between sentences. Therefore, a book can sometimes be read a hundred times in a hundred different interpretations, and there are three or four interpretations of "the people can make it impossible to know it."

Not to mention that there are a lot of fake words in ancient texts, and one accidentally gets X, and I don't even know if I read it wrong.

Therefore, this kind of book with annotations that can be read through is very precious. This kind of book is generally shelved by the family as a reference book for cultivating the clansmen, and it is rarely released. In other words, Xun Jian gave these three books to Zhu Cheng, but in fact, Zhu Cheng took advantage of them, after all, what he gave out was just ordinary books, and there were no annotations.

Maybe Xun Jian thinks that Webster's matter is not a thing, Webster's original fault was in the past, and it hurt the harmony within the family, so waking him up is just taking advantage of the trend. This kind of thing is not a matter in the first place, so Zhu Cheng's visit is naturally not a request for help, just a normal visit.

However, being able to do this step also shows that Xun Jian is a true gentleman.

Xun Jian's invitation naturally can't help but give face, and this kind of thing is inevitable no matter what time it is. The key is what the invitation says, inviting the children of the Yang Zhai family, generally speaking, has two meanings.

One is that everyone knows each other, and they can't say that they will be officials with the court in the future, so they will take care of it; The second is also Zhu Cheng's knowledge and insight in the school examination, which is not difficult, and at most he can't answer it, which is a bit shameless.

This made it difficult for Zhu, although he came from the future and knew a little about those ancient literatures, but he only understood. I'm afraid it's very reluctant to read through, and it's hard for him to memorize it. If you not only have to memorize it, but also make it catchy, and learn to use it, that's what will cost him his life.

"Lord, why don't you go with your subordinates?" Seeing this, Yang Lang stepped forward and asked.

"They are obviously embarrassing me, so why do you need to embarrass me with me?" Zhu Cheng shook his head.

"The Lord humiliates his ministers to death!" Yang Lang replied firmly, it was just before, but now that he has recognized the master, he naturally has to consider the problem from the identity of Zhu Cheng. The lord was humiliated, so he, as a courtier, was naturally shameless.

"Well, let's go together!" Hearing this, Zhu Cheng is not easy to persuade, anyway, please post it and find someone to accompany him.

The gifts sent by the small family have been counted, and the gifts of more than ten small families are counted in thousands, at least worth thousands of yuan. In recent years, many people have gotten up early to save money for a year, but the family waved their hands and sent it out in hundreds, this is still a small family, it is difficult to imagine what the situation is like for those medium families and those big families, and even old families.

The people who were sent out to sell perfume a few days ago also returned, and in Yanzhou, a place where the rebellion was relatively light, a few bottles of perfume were sold for almost 100,000 yuan. Many of them were exchanged for grain, wine and meat, which was Zhu Zhu's generation, and Rao also had a surplus of 40,000 yuan, so it was a shame that those who were sent out were not greedy for ink.

In fact, he was also too worried, most of these people were former buddies, or even apprentices in the store. One is not deeply involved in the world, so it is inevitable to retain a simplicity; Second, compared with the wealth of the family, getting ahead is what they value. For tens of thousands of dollars, his future is ruined, and a fool will do that.

Besides, their origins are already known to Zhu Cheng, unless they don't go home for the rest of their lives, or expect Zhu Cheng not to pay attention to them, don't expect to be able to return to their hometown in this life. No matter what era it is, people always pay attention to falling leaves and returning to their roots, and without the name of the Right Zhonglang General, their identity can't keep this huge amount of money, and I don't know how many people are staring at them.

"Explain it, take advantage of the time to practice in the past few days, and don't relax in terms of thinking! It is best to synchronize education when they are training, and when people are active, it has a good effect on memory. With a wave of Zhu Cheng's hand, this batch of wine, meat and grain was allocated to the 5,000 men and horses under his command.

"Whoa!" Ouyang Xing didn't know why this exercise had a beneficial effect on memory, but Zhu Cheng said that, and he thought it was good. In fact, there is no need for Zhu Zhu, he will pay close attention to this aspect, after all, this is also his own job.

I thought about going to Yingchuan Academy today, but I didn't want to be delayed by these trivial matters in the end, seeing that the time for the banquet had come, Zhu Chengcheng took Yang Lang to the banquet. Yang Lang is also a child of the Yang family of Hongnong, and it is nothing to take with him, but Ouyang is not a scholar from a poor family, and he will inevitably be looked down upon if he takes it, so he will not be offended.

Tonight's Xunfu can be described as very lively, which can be described as a wealthy night banquet. For a while, there was a lot of traffic in front of the entire mansion, and even the gate was opened, not the side door that Zhu Cheng had taken when he visited earlier.

"The virtuous nephew is here, please take a seat!" Xun Jian personally greeted him and invited him into his seat, and his attitude seemed very close.
