Chapter 53: Invitation

"Didn't Sir, think of going to the land of Wu Chu to give a lecture?" Wang An is in Yangxiong's mansion at the moment, and early this morning, Wang An came to visit Yangxiong, and Huan Tan was on the side. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yangxiong took a sip of tea from the bowl, he refused the tea set prepared by Wang An for him, and only drank tea in a bowl for a few pennies, and then put down the bowl and sighed softly: "It has been nearly twenty years since the old man left Yizhou and came to Chang'an, and the old man and his wife are reluctant to move. ”

Wang An took out a book, in which he copied some articles written by Yang Xiong: "Mr. Xiaoziguan's articles, Mr. Ziguan often compares Qu Yuan with Sima Xiangru, thinking that when a gentleman gets it, he will be great, and if he is not, he will be a dragon and snake, and he will not meet his life." The kid thought that Mr. was actually lamenting that he was not talented and had a bumpy career. Mr. has the heart to ask for the people's life, but he is not good at words, if he fights with those doctors and give things, he often loses, so he can only put his ambitions into writing, write into words, and talk about masturbation, such as this "Chang Yang Fu". Wang An handed the article to Yang Xiong, "The Zimo Keqing in this article is a gentleman comparing himself, right?" It's not that he doesn't want to do things, but he doesn't have a chance. ”

Yang Xiong said: "How can the old man be on a par with Qu Zi and Sima Changqing. ”

"It should be said that Qu Yuan and Sima are similar, how can they be compared with Mr. In the biography of Qu Yuan Jia Shenglie of Taishi Gong, what Qu Yuan never forgot was the humiliation of the King of Chu, who committed suicide by throwing himself into the river when he was deposed, and his talent was wasted; When Emperor Xiaowu was full of ministers and military generals, there was a lack of people who could sing praises and praises, and Sima Xiangru was just a courtier in the eyes of Emperor Xiaowu. Does the gentleman just want to be such a person? What's more, Qu Zi and Sima Changqing have already been buried in the ground, and Mr. is still alive, how can he know in the future? ”

Yang Xiong sighed: "The old man is almost the year of knowing the destiny of heaven?" ”

Huan Tan said: "Shi Kuang once said to Jin Ping: young and studious, like the sun of the sunrise, strong and studious, like the light of the day, old and studious, such as the light of the candle, who is the best and the best? Jin Pinggong still wants to study at seventy, can't Mr. fifty move? ”

Wang An persuaded: "Now a large number of people have arrived in Nanjun and Jiangzuo, and they plan to propagate and educate there, but there is a lack of a great Confucian, with the reputation of Mr., if they can go to Jingzhou, then Jiangzuo Shizi will come to hear the wind." ”

Picking up the bowl and taking a sip of tea, Wang An continued: "Sir doesn't need to reply immediately, even if you want to carry out indoctrination, you should do it after clearing up the bandits." Sir still has time to go into details. ”

In fact, Yang Xiong invited Wang An to come over today to talk about "Hao Shi Fu", but it turned out that Wang An invited Yang Xiong to go south to give a lecture. After all, there are few officials in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, one reason is that there are no famous teachers and Confucians in Jiangzuo, and the wealthy families in Jiangzuo are the rich people in the countryside in the eyes of the wealthy families in Guandong and Guanzhong. Wang An plans to win over the wealthy families in Jiangzuo, and the best way is to invite the Great Confucian to teach the children of the wealthy family.

Huan Tan asked, "Uncle Sun thinks he will definitely be able to become a Yang Chief?" The court hasn't announced it yet. ”

"The king of Dongping has been sent to Tingwei Prison, and the case of rebellion will be tried, and the most important thing at this time is stability. The central government must appease the local governors, agree to some of their requests, and compromise with the local government on the appointment of some officials. I also want to know who dares to jump out and compete with the Wang family for the position of Yang Chang? Even if the emperor wants other people to be this official, other people must have this courage, but I am afraid that as soon as the emperor says it, someone will get sick. Wang An smiled, "Now it's not what Your Majesty looked like when he first ascended the throne, it's just that everyone knows it." ”

When Wang An left, Huan Tan sent off the guests on behalf of Yangxiong as a disciple, and at the gate of Yang's mansion, Wang An took out a land deed and handed it to Huan Tan: "I don't have much money now, so this land deed will be given to Junshan and Miss Zhao as a congratulatory gift." ”

Back at the inn, Wang An saw a stranger in gorgeous clothes sitting in the lobby, this person saw Wang An coming in, got up and saluted: "On the order of the Marquis of Anyang, please go to the Hou Mansion for a banquet." Wang An looked at the invitation: "Just tonight?" The other party nodded: "The carriage will arrive later." Lang Jun also asked to change clothes. ”

Wang An asked the eldest girl who was changing her clothes: "Do we still have valuable gifts?" The eldest girl said: "Madame only prepared gifts for Yichun Hou and Chengdu Hou, and the words written by Hou Ye have been given to Mr. Yangxiong, and Lang Jun's belongings are left with horizontal knives, and Anyang Hou doesn't like these things." "It seems that Wang Mang's relationship with Anyang Hou is not very good, so he did not prepare a gift for Wang Shun, Marquis of Anyang.

"A horizontal knife is a horizontal knife, it's better to have than nothing."

Wang An and Kong Fu took a carriage to Qili, passed through the Chengdu Hou Mansion and walked a little further before arriving at the Anyang Hou Mansion. After getting out of the car, the servant led Wang An and Kong Fu through the lobby, through the garden, across the small bridge, and finally to a courtyard, the servant opened the door and said to Wang An: "Please wait here for Lang Jun, the Hou Ye will be there soon." ”

Wang An and Kong Fu stepped into the room, there were a few tables in the room, Kong Fu said, "Didn't you say a banquet?" How did you get us to this secluded yard? ”

"This place is nice, very quiet, and it would be better if there was a little bit of fun."

"That's right, Ben Hou likes to be quiet, so he specially built this courtyard," a middle-aged man walked in with the voice and stood in front of Wang An, "Your nephew hasn't come to see my uncle for so long, and you have to ask your uncle to send someone to invite you, so you are willing to come." ”

Wang An gave a salute: "When the little nephew was leaving, my father asked the little nephew to study quietly, and not to go out at will, so as not to cause trouble, especially you, uncle, the adult repeatedly explained, saying that you like to be quiet, don't come to the door at will." Therefore, I didn't dare to visit my uncle, and I asked my uncle to forgive me. Wang An took the horizontal knife from Kong Fu and presented it to Wang Shun. Wang Shun took the knife and pulled it out to take a look: "Although Ben Hou likes the Five Classics, every time he reads Tai Shi Gong's "Historical Records: The Biography of the Assassins", he is still fascinated, and he hates to be one of them. Ben Hou accepted the knife here. ”

The waiter served snacks to the three of them, and Wang Shun said: "I heard that my uncle and grandson like to drink tea, Ben Hou specially found two people from Yizhou who are proficient in tea art. "This is too fast, Wang Anxin said, it has only been more than a month since he invited someone to make tea, this Anyang Hou has been sending someone to Yizhou to go back and forth since he got the news, and then invited himself to the banquet, the time should be tight. Two women came in with boxes, set up the utensils one by one, and began to grind the tea leaves.

Wang Shun continued: "Didn't my uncle and grandson just now say that it would be better if there was the joy of silk and bamboo? How can you not have the joy of silk and bamboo at this time that is pleasing to the eye. The sound of silk and bamboo sounded outside, Wang An and Kong Fu glanced at each other and continued to watch the tea ceremony.
