The three old men decided to take a closer look, those who knew medical skills went to the medical hall opened by Shen Tuchen, those who were proficient in the I Ching decided to go to the school to have a look, and the warlock who knew the art of looking at qi went to wander around the fields. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoSoon these news were reported to Wang An, Wang An didn't care, who went to a strange place to understand the situation is human instinct, in case of an accident, it is good to escape. If they could ******** alchemy when they first arrived, Wang An would have to worry.

Kong Xun put a knife on the desk: "This is a horizontal knife customized by Mr. Er, and my mother asked Mr. II to inspect the knife." The horizontal knife is custom-made by Wang An to the Kong family, the blade is three feet long, the handle is one foot, the total length is four feet, and it can be held with one hand or two hands, weighing about eight catties. In Wang An's view, at this time, the sword has become a symbol of identity and status, beautiful but not practical, whether it is a Confucian or a ranger, it must be matched, and the decoration is becoming more and more gorgeous. So he commissioned the Kong family to build a horizontal knife and told the Kong family to try the carburizing process.

Wang An pulled out a knife and pulled off a piece of hair, wanting to see if he could blow it out and break it, but unfortunately, no. Wang An inserted the knife into the scabbard and put it away, and said, "So you have already mastered the technology of carburizing?" ”

Kong Xun replied: "My mother said that she had mastered it preliminarily, but the yield was not high, and she had to try." ”

"Let your family try more, it may be of great use in the future." If the world is in turmoil in the future, Wang An hopes that he has enough advantages. "Do you agree with you to go to Chang'an?" Kong Xun shook his head.

Wang An picked up a book, but put it down again, and said to Kong Xun: "I want to meet the minister of state and ask him to take the time to meet." "Wang An now feels more and more that he is short of people, and he can catch one.

The little fat man pouted: "What's the matter with my family now, my father is not on duty now, and he sits at home every day to recuperate." The little fat man looked at Wang An's expression, "The disciple immediately informed his father." ”

The three old men wandered around Zhuangzi for a long time, returned to their residences, closed the doors and windows, and talked about what they had seen and heard together. "The school here has to read first, and then teach the Analects and the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic, and their method of counting is also different, using this method is faster and easier, not only that, but also let those little babies perform the things of the Spring and Autumn Festival one by one, they say that this is called reproducing history, and then those gentlemen explain to them the causes and consequences of this event."

"Since that Shen Tuchen went to see a doctor for livestock, and also recorded the symptoms of livestock, it is said that it will be published in the world in the future."

"Du Shi and Yin Lu, the stewards of Wangjiazhuang, also did the same, and they also recorded the process, and they will also publish it all over the world in the future."

"Have you noticed that most of these gentlemen and disciples come from poor families or even tenant families? Moreover, the "Five Classics" studied by those famous teachers and Confucians are not welcomed here. ”

"I also asked those little gentlemen, and they said that Wang An once said that for the poor people, what they want is to live, to be able to eat, and Confucianism is too far away from them. Wang An also said that Confucianism is the most fickle, and as long as there are benefits, Emperor Gao can also be said to be a descendant of Liu Kanggong. ”

"The old man probably knows what the master means, Wang An doesn't want to see Confucianism, what he needs is someone who can help the people in the world. If this door supports Wang An, this person will win the world in the future, and this door can also be carried forward. ”

"Didn't the senior brother say that this son's life has changed, and he doesn't know the future?

The old man nodded: "According to the eight characters of his birthday, plus the old man's hexagram, this son should be muddy now, and he can't become an official." ”

"If you don't support it, then you have to look at this son's performance in Dangyang first. Duan Yatou said that it was a den of bandits, and the people were poor, and they were all robbers. King Feng Ye, who wanted to be Emperor Xiaoyuan, was a good official praised by the court and the opposition, and he ran away not long after he arrived in Dangyang, not to mention others, let's see how long this son can survive. ”

Wang An ushered in an unexpected guest, Kong Xun's brother, Kong Fu. Listening to Kong Xun's complaints about his brother, Wang An didn't want to see him, but he had to be patient to see him.

Wang An complimented him as soon as they met: "Brother Ling often mentions your brother in front of me, saying that in order to improve your knowledge, you have been traveling abroad for many years to study and make friends with famous teachers and Confucians. But the imperial court has recruited me to go to Chang'an this autumn to take the exam, I wonder if Brother Confucius will also go to Chang'an? ”

Kong Fu's face turned red, and after a while, he said: "What the wise general Shuai Ke is now compared to is his family background and fame. I thought that participating in this section was an insult to the subordinates, according to the news in the palace, His Majesty will open a virtuous and good department again, this is the right way to prove his strength and get ahead. Gambit General Shuai Ke will not participate. ”

Wang An saluted Kong Fu: "I wish Brother Kong to be recruited by the imperial court to participate in the virtuous and virtuous Fangzheng examination, be on the list, and contribute to the imperial court." I have no talent and incompetence in Xia, so I can only rely on my family background to take the exam, and I am very ashamed in Xia. I had the heart to refuse, but I was afraid that I would disappoint the kindness of the Nanjun Taishou and the imperial court, so I had to reluctantly go to Chang'an. ”

After the two praised and humbled each other, Wang An asked: "Brother Kong has been studying in Chang'an for many years, have you ever seen Mr. Yang Xiongyang, the squire of the Yellow Gate?" ”

Kong Fu smiled proudly and said, "I have visited his house many times and exchanged poems with Mr. ”

Wang An continued: "In the name of Mr. Muyang in Xiajiu, I have always wanted to visit, but I don't know who else is in Mr. Muyang's mansion?" ”

Kong Fu said: "There are only Mr. and Mrs. in the house. ”

"No heirs?"

"No children and no daughters."

Wang Anxin said, Miss Xia has a chance. Then he asked, "What do you like Mr. Young?" ”

"Mr. likes to write books and speak, but his income is meager, and he has to rely on his wife to grow vegetables to supplement the family."

It seems that the focus of the wooing is really going to be on Mrs. Young.

The two gossiped again, and Wang An asked Kong Fu about his intention, and it turned out that Kong Fu came to send an invitation on behalf of Deng Chen's brother Deng Hua, and asked Wang An to go to Xinye County for a talk. Kong Fu and Deng Hua used to be classmates in the county school, Deng Hua returned to Nanyang this time to visit Taishou in Wan County, and then went to visit Kong Xiu, the new capital Xiang, I heard that Kong Xun worshiped Du Shi and Wang An as teachers, so he had the heart to get acquainted with the two.

Wang An took the invitation card and looked at it, and asked, "Does Deng Hua know that there was a fight with his brother in Xia?" ”

Deng Weiqing already knew that his brother was at fault in this matter, so he wrote a letter to reprimand. If it weren't for the fact that it was inconvenient for his uncle and grandson to leave Xinye County, Wei Qing would have invited you to a banquet at the largest wine restaurant in Wan County. This time he entertained his uncle and grandson in the county seat, and Wei Qing still felt uneasy. ”

"Did you invite me and Jun Gong this time?"

"And the Fan family in Huyang."

Huyang Fan family, it seems that where have you heard it, Wang An thought about it for a while, and then remembered that he had planned to pull fiber for the daughter of the Kong family.
