"Shi Xiaoshulang, I am Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Simen Lang, I heard that you were beaten by that Donggong Wang Wang two days ago, it is really unreasonable. And King Qin was very reluctant to go, and the cause of this incident was actually that the county lord of our family stepped on the foot of the county lord of Wanrou, which made that Wang Hui beat you like this. I really can't help it, so I specially apologized to you with the county lord of Lizhi! And I am the uncle of the county lord of Lizhen, and the king of Qin asked me to bring her to apologize to you! The eldest grandson Wuji said.

And Li Lizhi said simply: "Shi Xiao Shulang, this time I stepped on Sister Wanrou's foot, which made you beaten, so I am very one step and I am here to apologize to you!" How could the rate of the Zhan Mansion in the East Palace be like this, Sister Wanrou didn't care, how could he, an ordinary official, be so careful? I think I'll let Sister Wanrou apologize to you another day, this is the way it should be. ”

Shi Bufan said lightly: "Lizhi County Lord, in fact, I think it is not you who should apologize to me, nor the Wanrou County Lord, let alone the Wang Hui of the East Palace." And I think it is King Qin who should apologize to me! ”

"Let your father apologize to you? Father has nothing to do with this! Li Lizhi replied simply.

Shi Bufan looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with curiosity and asked, "Really?" ”

The teacup that had just been brewed in the hand of the eldest grandson Wuji obviously shook suddenly, but it quickly recovered, and the eldest grandson Wuji calmly drank a cup of this newly fried tea, that is, according to Shi Bufan's suggestion, and then Qin Jiarui made the fried tea, which is now used to entertain the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Well, this tea is good, it is a good product. I think King Qin will like it! The eldest grandson Wuji said.

Shi Bufan snorted in his heart: "Take care of him left and right, don't recruit yourself!" The eldest grandson, Wuji, seems to be just a recruit in the officialdom at present, and his experience is not as old as it was decades later. ”

However, Shi Bufan did not expose the embarrassment of the eldest grandson Wuji, but took the initiative to say: "Since this is the case, then please ask the eldest grandson Langzhong to recommend this tea to King Qin." This tea was made by one of my sisters, and she is currently doing this tea business, what do you think? Can it be used as a tribute to the Qin Palace? ”

"Well, it must be! This tea leaves a fragrant lip and tooth, it is really a rare good product, I think even if Shi Xiaoshulang doesn't say it, I will recommend King Qin to buy it. The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly replied, this is a half-truth, on the one hand, it is true that this new style of fried tea is very delicious, and on the other hand, it is also because he has a weak heart in his heart, and it is difficult to refuse.

Shi Bufan thought secretly: "Hmph, see if I don't let Jia Rui slaughter you fiercely, I really don't let you know my ability, and I really don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has!" ”

"Lizhi, how are you reviewing the course these days?" Shi Bufan then asked about Li Lizhen's course.

Li Lizhi took the initiative to say: "It's okay! ”

"Lizhi, have you ever learned an allusion from the Analects? Zigong asked Confucius, who is more virtuous or Zishang, do you know this allusion? Shi Bufan asked.

Li Lizhi replied very simply: "I know, Zigong asked Confucius, who is more virtuous or Zishang." Confucius replied that the Zishi often exceeded the requirements of the Zhou Li, but the Zishang failed to meet them. And Zigong thought that this was Zishi better than Zishanggong, but Confucius replied, 'It's too much'. ”

"Yes! It's too much! Some things have been done, but it is better not to do them! Shi Bufan said.

"Smack!" The teacup in the hand of the eldest grandson Wuji fell to the ground.

Shi Bufan pretended to be surprised and said, "Eldest grandson Langzhong, what are you doing here?" This is the celadon in the palace, the latest celadon, why have you broken it? And this tea, which is worth a lot of money, did you waste it? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled a little embarrassed, and then said, "Nothing, nothing." ”

"Uncle, why are you smiling so falsely today?" Li Lizhi asked simply.

Shi Bufan said to the eldest grandson Wuji; "The eldest grandson Langzhong, Tong Yan is unscrupulous, Tong Yan is unscrupulous!"

The eldest grandson Wuji thought embarrassedly: "What's too much, you're beating me and King Qin!" It's really cunning, this guy is too slippery to slip at all. It seems to be in trouble this time, and if you don't play well, it's really going to be troublesome. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was very nervous in his heart, this time the matter was really a big trouble, if Shi Bufan felt disgusted with Li Shimin, the king of Qin, then I am afraid it would be really trouble. If it comes next, then I'm afraid this is the most headache. However, the eldest grandson Wuji was thinking about how to solve this problem next, but there doesn't seem to be a good solution at present. Just now, Shi Bufan was obviously using the opportunity of the so-called teaching Li Lizhen to beat him, so that the eldest grandson Wuji could be more leisurely.

But the eldest grandson Wuji didn't expect that the plan he and Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui had formulated would be seen through by Shi Bufan so quickly. If so, that's the big problem.

"Shi Xiao Shulang, I heard that you are not able to run a property in the long-term settlement now?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked.

Shi Bufan said casually: "I, a small Beijing official of the ninth grade, don't have any oil and water, how can I have the money to buy an industry?" What's more, I am still TOEFL, thanks to the blessing of King Qin, so that I can come to Xiuwenguan as a school scrivener! If it weren't for King Qin, I wouldn't be where I am today! ”

"Hehe, of course, King Qin has always liked to use talents in an eclectic way. What's more, Shi Xiaoshulang is also a talent, and a school Shulang is really a talent, a talent! I think that Shi Xiaoshulang has no property in Chang'an, so King Qin happens to have several houses. Among them, there is a house in the inner city, which is a good house according to the requirements of the Wupin officials, and it is rare in Chang'an! If Shi Xiao Shulang is willing, I can give it to Shi Xiao Shulang instead of King Qin! The eldest grandson Wuji said.

Shi Bufan immediately hesitated and said: "But according to the laws of the imperial court, I am a nine-rank petty official, but I am not qualified to live in the inner city, let alone live in the house of a five-rank official!" ”

In the Tang Dynasty, a place with strict feudal hierarchies, officials and people of different levels were also particular about what grade of houses they could live in. No matter how rich a businessman is, he can't live in a house that exceeds a certain standard, otherwise he will exceed the system. Therefore, if Shi Bufan accepts the house of this five-grade official, it will be an out-and-out overstep, and this feudal era is a big crime.

The eldest grandson Wuji scolded in his heart: "You bastard, you want to eat fish, but you don't like the smell of fish." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji immediately made an excuse for Shi Bufan and said: "This house is given to Dugu Shang Palace, and Dugu Shang Palace happens to be five products. And if the fiancé of Dugu Shanggong is allowed to live, it is considered a family, not an overstep! The imperial court also did not stipulate that the family members of officials could not live with them! What's more, you also got the emperor's marriage, so you live in the private residence of Dugu Shang Palace, who can say anything? ”

"Oh? Is it? Shi Bufan laughed, and then said: "Very good, since this is the case, then I will also accept it for the heavy snow." ”

Although this house was nominally given to Dugu Daxue, in fact it was Shi Bufan who lived in it, and maybe it might even become the future wedding house of Shi Bufan and Dugu Daxue.

The eldest grandson Wuji is also quite heartbroken, because the area of this house is not small, especially in Chang'an, where every inch of land is expensive, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the price of land is even higher! Since ancient times, the housing prices and land prices in the capital have not always been very high, not only the capital's own Beijing officials want to buy industries, but also many people from other places have also purchased properties in the capital. Many magistrates who want to develop politically will buy a set of properties in the capital that are in line with their identity, so as to strengthen their ties with the capital, and even arrange some of their cronies to be in charge of "running the department and making money" in the capital, so as to play the role of the Beijing office in later generations.

Therefore, in the case of more monks and less porridge, the land of Chang'an will definitely be promoted a lot in the future, and this eldest grandson Wuji also knows it. So this time I gave a house to Shi Bufan, which means that the loss in the future will definitely be not small. In the capital, the houses of officials of the same rank are at least three or five times more expensive than those of the same rank in other places, and perhaps even more. This is also the capital, and the housing prices in the capital are extremely expensive, which is not the ordinary in later generations. However, he has solved the problem of the house at present, and it is also a house of a five-grade official, and he can borrow his wife's identity to get a more advanced house for himself, without worrying about being sued.

As for whether you were scolded behind your back for living in your wife's house, it didn't matter if you were so extraordinary. Now Shi Bufan is not qualified to care about this, and being able to have a house in the capital is what countless people are looking forward to. If there is a woman in the capital in the future, I am afraid that many people in other places will be willing to marry her, and it is okay to plug the door upside down. The capital is expensive, and it is not easy to live in a big place! So Shi Bufan is not qualified to care about these things, let's calm down first! It's good to have a good house, do you still care if this is under your name or under your wife's name? This kind of thing, which is the difference between left hand and right hand, doesn't make much sense.

"Hmph, calculate me, I'll let you ruin your wealth! Do you think I'm that calculating? Li Shimin, Li Shimin, you can't imagine that I am a traverser, and it may not be so easy for you to calculate me. Now, it's ruined, right? Shi Bufan looked at this eldest grandson Wuji and thought.

After the eldest grandson Wuji promised to give this house to Shi Bufan, he immediately left with Li Lizhi, and then wiped the cold sweat from his head.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you today? Seems so uncomfortable? Li Li asked.

"Lord Lizhi, you go and rest first!" The eldest grandson Wuji did not answer.

And the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly came to the place where the eighteen bachelors were discussing, and then hurriedly said to Fang Xuanling: "Xuanling, I'm afraid there will be trouble this time!" At that time, Shi Bufan had already seen through our plan, and this time we were exposed. ”

"What? He got it? Fang Xuanling exclaimed.

The eldest grandson Wuji also said the process of today's and the extraordinary times, and then Fang Xuanling immediately exclaimed: "How did he know that Wang Xuan said about our person?" ”

"Yes! I don't know, how could this Shi Bufan know that Wang Hui is our person. This Wang Hui is an important intermediary for us, and he is responsible for inquiring about us in the East Palace. But now he was actually seen by Shi Bufan, and deliberately said something too much, he seemed to know that Wang Hui was our person. I had to take out a set of houses and give them to Shi Bufan, which can be regarded as a seal! The eldest grandson Wuji said.

Du Ruhui immediately said: "You are still doing well, that Wang Hui is far more important than a house, as long as you don't let this Shi Bufan say it, then I'm afraid it shouldn't be big." ”

However, the eldest grandson Wuji also said: "I don't know how much Shi Bufan knows about this, and to what extent he knows." Whether he knows all about our plans, or only part of it, and we don't know exactly how much that part is! ”

"Is he willing to take refuge in the King of Qin? If he refuses to take refuge in King Qin, but he also knows too much, then this is not good for us! Do you want Chen Dade to ...... him" Fang Xuanling made a murderous gesture.

The eldest grandson Wuji's face also showed a fierce light, and then said: "His attitude is unknown, and we don't know how much he knows, if so, then we can only let Chen Dade kill him." ”

"No, I'm afraid he accepted the house, that is, he is showing us goodwill! I don't think he should forget that it was King Qin who promoted him to the position of the school secretary of the Xiuwen Pavilion, and he already had something to do with King Qin. Du Ruhui said.

The eldest grandson Wuji also asked suspiciously: "But the current Shi Bufan is not the same as in the past, he is too complicated behind him now, and he has established a teacher-student friendship with many descendants of the scholar clan." King Qin only gave him a nine-grade petty official, which is obviously not enough! ”

"It's still not right, his willingness to take the house means that he has no intention of making us enemies. Don't do it yet, what he said is not wrong, it is too much. If we kill him, then it will really be too much. There are too many complicated and involved behind him, and it is not suitable to be directly extinguished. His influence is far greater than we imagined, not only is his fiancée Wupin Shanggong, but he is responsible for teaching so many students, once he has an accident, then we can't hide it from others. At that time, once he has an accident, I am afraid that there will definitely be a lot of people following the investigation, and we will be in big trouble at that time. So if it's too much, he may be telling us not to do anything to him! Du Ruhui replied.

"So what the hell is going on? Whose side is he on? At this young age, how can you do things so old and spicy, and there are no loopholes at all? So cunning? The eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly.
