"The pattern of the front forest and the back hall not only blocks the noise on the road outside, but also gives birth to an elegant body, the prosperity of Fan Jil Du's family, and it really lives up to its reputation!"

As soon as Wang Jin followed his brother into the house, he saw a bamboo forest in the front yard and entered along a winding path, which was a neat main hall, and he couldn't help but praise it loudly. ※※。 As soon as the words fell, I only heard a laugh in front of me: "It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo." Wang Shishilang is an elegant person, and he is naturally happy to see this bamboo forest, but I am not as elegant as your brothers, I think of the bamboo forest and bamboo shoots, but I can have a good meal!"

Even if Wang Wei believed in Buddhism, he couldn't help laughing out loud at this moment: "Du Jiulang, if your words are heard by those people in the market who are envious and jealous of you and worship you, you will definitely be disappointed!"

Du Shiyi had just turned out from behind the front hall at this time, and immediately spread his hands: "Seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, all of them cost money, that is, Wang Shishilang praised this mansion, if it wasn't for the lawsuit that caused a sensation in Jingzhao Mansion at the beginning, the Xiao family lost money to repair, and with my strength alone, the repair would not have been completed so quickly!" If you want to be in the wind and snow, you must first have some philistines, which is called Cang Liao and know etiquette, and know honor and disgrace when you have enough food and clothing!"

When the Wang brothers heard this, they just felt angry and funny, but for Liu Jiaodong and Wang Yuanbao, who came in behind them, their hearts moved at the same time. Liu Jiaodong has long known that Du Shiyi is different from those scribes who only know Fengyue poetry, and while he is well versed in the way of building momentum, he also knows how to make money. As for Wang Yuanbao, he is a little more sure of today's trip. And Du Shiyi looked at their expressions and eyes, and immediately said: "Brother Wang, since Wang Shilang specially went out of the city to meet him, why don't you stay here tonight, let's also have a night talk, don't rush back, how about it?"

Since he met two famous businessmen in Chang'an City outside the door, Wang Wei knew that it was impossible for Du Shiyi to hang these two, and since they were here at this time, it was not appropriate to return to the city before dark, so he readily agreed. And Wang Jin had to express two more sentences of emotion about the layout of the house, Du Shiyi pulled Du Shihan up behind him, and explained with a smile that this was the construction director of the house, so that they could ask Du Shihan if they had anything, and Shunshun should throw his cousin out and take the two brothers around. When the people went straight away, he invited Liu Jiaodong and Wang Yuanbao to the study, and after motioning for the two to take a seat, he smiled and said: "Could it be that the two of you are about to meet Haode, and today you are so coincidental to meet together?"

Although Wang Yuanbao was born in a well-dressed family, he was more embarrassed than Du Shiyi when his family was in the middle of the road, but because of selling glass, he became rich in Chang'an in five years...... Therefore, after he, a real scholar, he does not look like Liu Jiaodong's words and deeds have the air of a scribe, and his face reveals a bit of the boldness of a man in Guanzhong.

Seeing that Liu Jiaodong didn't speak first, he said straight to the point: "Zhuang Yuanlang is the first to enter the department this year, and everyone in the city knows about it, and some people in my family have a lively time in front of the Suzaku Gate, but they were choked by Jing Zhaogong!" Champion Lang has a good eye for pearls, can recognize Duan inkstone, can make good ink, these two things are not Qianbao Pavilion can not be all the rage, of course I will not compete with Qianbao Pavilion for business!"

Although he looked down on Wang Yuanbao, a nouveau riche, but listening to his rough speech at the moment, it was very straightforward, and Liu Jiaodong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, now Du Shiyi's inkstones and all kinds of ink ingots known as Du Langmo in the market, except for the gifts he gave to others, are all franchised by Qianbao Pavilion, if he loses this business, his income will only be secondary, and his reputation will be greatly damaged.

So, he folded the god and said with a smile: "The prince is rich and Chang'an, and he is really heroic!" Since Du Langjun has been in demand for Duan inkstone and Du Langmo sold by Qianbao Pavilion, it is said that Du Langjun has been able to enter the department, all because the inkstone is not frozen, the ink is not condensed, and many calligraphers can't put it down, and every rì is endless. I'm here today, just to ask about it, and this number is high......

"End stones are rare, and the best pine is even more rare. In this way, the four treasures of the study, two things can be used for ten years, expensive jīng but not much, several masonry are jīng carved carefully, and the ink workers are only in Wangwu Mountain for many years, but you beg me to no avail. Du Shiyi saw that Liu Jiaodong seemed to be a little disappointed, so he said with a smile, "If you want to come to Qianbao Pavilion, you are not in a hurry to do these small businesses, if I have any good things, I will ask Liu Gong to help." ”

Hearing this, Liu Jiaodong immediately agreed happily. He had previously been at the request of Du Shisanniang, before the test for Du Shiyi, playing the card of love and righteousness, for most of the past half a year, the delivery of silver money has always been happy, so after congratulating again, he said a few words of gossip, he saw that Wang Yuanbao never spoke again, as if waiting for his farewell to say it alone, he thought for a long time, and finally resigned...... When he went out to get into the car, he suddenly remembered in his heart that the richest man in Chang'an seemed to have a young daughter who had not yet been allowed to be married.

Wang Yuanbao wouldn't be so delusional, right? Even if you are rich in the world, even if you are from a well-dressed family, if you want to get married to the Du family now, Chaotangfang City will inevitably have a sneering voice!

As soon as Liu Jiaodong left, Wang Yuanbao smiled nonchalantly: "Looking at him, it seems that if he leaves, I will open my mouth to ask for a kiss!" Previously, the people in the Suzaku Gate were shouting, even if my Wang Yuanbao was indeed rich, he had never dreamed of recruiting a champion as a son-in-law. A moment of glory, who knows the ups and downs after rì!"

Du Shiyi was also thinking about Du Siwen's words when he rejected Wang Yuanbao's servant, and when he heard Wang Yuanbao be so straightforward, he felt that this wealthy businessman was very cute, and immediately asked: "I don't know what the prince is doing here?"

"It's very simple, my Wang Yuanbao is a rough person, he started selling colored glass, and I heard that the champion Lang is unparalleled, especially good at it, so I only ask for a good one. As a reward, whether it is the house of Zhuang Yuanlang in Fanchuan or the house of Chang'an, I will give four glass windows, and I will pick the most haode!"

Hearing what Wang Yuanbao wanted, Du Shiyi suddenly laughed dumbly. This kind of reason for coming to the door is the most ordinary, but Wang Yuanbao, the richest man in Chang'an, came to the door, coupled with the previous events, it always makes people mutter, at this moment, thinking that the glass window is indeed the rarest treasure today, he shook his head and said: "You don't need the prince to send the glass window, I will buy two at the original price, if it is really good, then I will send you a long fu is not too late."

"Okay, Champion Lang is fast! Since you have promised this, there are friends waiting for you later, so I won't bother!" Wang Yuanbao pushed his seat up, and after standing up straight, he looked at Du Shiyi for a while before he took his leave. Out of the gate of Du's house, he couldn't help but look back at the newly renovated mansion, secretly thinking that he had been funding poor people from all walks of life a few years ago, but he had never heard of such a person as Du Shiyi could single-handedly turn the door that had fallen into the middle of the family path to the current thriving trend.

When he got into the carriage, he saw a girl in a red shirt holding a Persian cat in her hand, who looked fifteen years old, and her bright appearance was looking at him with sparkling eyes, but she asked curiously: "Grandpa, has that champion seen it?"

"yes, I did." Wang Yuanbao affectionately pressed his daughter's shoulder, and then sighed and said: "Originally, I wanted to give it a try despite your words, to see if with my current wealth, it might make him feel excited, but I heard the answer between him and Liu Jiaodong, but now when his Duan Yan and Du Langmo are booming, he insists on refusing to increase the number, so I won't fight that idea!" Young lady, you're right, I can't afford this kind of son-in-law, in the future, if he soars, but just like Wang Mao Zhong, who was born as a slave, the Son of Heaven gave a wife to come down, and you are not wronged?"

"I said it earlier, it's Grandpa, you are so excited to hear people, you have to think that there is a champion son-in-law, and it will be able to make people look at it differently!" Wang Rong smiled and took off her father's coat, feeling the carriage slowly turning, she said with sparkling eyes, "Grandpa doesn't want to think about it, if there is no me, who will check the account?"

"You, you, your two brothers are useless, but you can't stay at home for the rest of your life! I think that Du Jiulang is really a good man with a talent!"

Seeing Wang Rong thoughtfully glancing at the hazy scenery outside the window through the glass window on the carriage, Wang Yuanbao couldn't help but shake his head, counting the actions he had taken in and funded in his heart, and finally shook his head dejectedly. Among the merchants, there are many lucky people, and those debauched scholars are not the same?

"Grandpa, you are self-made, although Du Jiulang is a famous disciple of the Jingzhao Du family, but since the family is in the middle of the road, there were rumors that Jiang Lang is exhausted, if it weren't for his thick accumulation and long sleeves and good dancing, there would be no today! Don't look at him now in one fell swoop, the person who offended him at the beginning was not terrible, but he went all the way through five levels and cut six generals, just showing four words of talent, how can he talk about the hardships?"

When Wang Yuanbao saw that his daughter said this, he buried his head in the account book and looked at the account book carefully, and immediately smiled bitterly. He had saved a little money, so he tried his best to let his children know how to read and write, but the two sons fished for three days and dried their nets for two days, but this daughter was the only one who was able to bypass it, and even the old Confucian student who invited him was also amazed!

"You mean, Wang Yuanbao asked you to make a name for him?"

Listening to Du Shiyi's detailed explanation of the reason, Wang Wei nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, if you accept him four glass windows for nothing, the reputation of this sale is not good, and now you are not short of this money." If it's really that beautiful, write a long and praised it, and then it's a beautiful talk. Although Wang Yuanbao is a businessman, he has a great sense of morality in his actions, and it is beneficial and harmless for him to have a good fate!"

Wang Jin felt very bored that Wang Yuanbao did not come to recruit a son-in-law, until his brother curiously asked Du Shiyi what he saw and heard when he entered the palace and the summons of the Son of Heaven, and then he pricked up his ears and listened. Hearing that Du Shiyi actually bluntly refused when Li Longji rementioned Lu Hong's departure from the mountain in the old matter, he finally couldn't help it.

"Du Jiulang, you are too bold! In case the emperor is furious because of your refusal to thunder, the glory of you, the new champion, will become a disaster!

Du Siwen also once said that Du Shiyi had already been ordered by the elder's ear, so that his ears were calloused: "Long pain is better than short pain, at that time, I just thought that the saint was tolerant and elegant, so I went out to gamble." As a result, the saint really didn't think much of himself, and yesterday he asked me to see Song Xiangguo. ”

"Of course, let you go to see Song Xiangguo, presumably the sage thinks that you have to fight with Song Xiangguo, who has always been **!"

Wang Jin's muttering made Du Shiyi, who had been wondering why Li Longji let him go to see Song Jing, suddenly realized. However, thinking of Song Jing, who was depressed, and Zhang Jiazhen, who was full of ambition at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of the world, but this trace of sadness soon disappeared in the music of Wang Wei plucking the pipa strings. In the sunset, listening to this melodious music, he only felt that the whole body and mind were quiet, and those annoying emotions all faded unconsciously. At the end of the song, he only heard a burst of abrupt applause, and he looked up and saw that it was not Wang Jin, who else was it?

"Brother, this pipa is getting more and more jīng Zhan!"

"Du Jiulang, the officials are going to take the test, you have to be careful, as soon as Zhang Xiangguofu paid his respects to the prime minister, he recommended several people to important positions one after another. Among them, it was Yuan Jiajing who succeeded Li Na as the foreign officer of the Ministry of Officials, and he presided over the examination this time. And Miao Hanye's father, Miao Yansi, served as a member of the Zhongshu House and jumped into the Zhongshu Province, which is not the same as before. I had a night banquet with Fifteen Lang in King Ning's mansion last night, and I got this news at dawn. When King Ning heard this news, he said that Zhang Xiangguo's urgency was probably even greater than that of Song Kaifu! By the way, King Ning instructed that the test is imminent, and you don't have to go to see him. ”
