The official news of Zhengde Tianzi's great trip had not yet reached the Yamen of the Huguang Governor, and the entire gentry class and the government in Anlu had grasped the situation in advance from their own news channels. Even the candidate for the new monarch is the son of King Xing, and to the deceased King Xing, the nickname is a dedication, and these things also spread in Anlu at the same time.

In fact, during the Spring Festival, Anlu has already made some moves. Yang Chengzu also felt the impact of this incident when he attended several New Year parties hosted by the gentry.

As a talented man of An Lu and a great hero to defend An Lu, these social activities are inherently unavoidable. Moreover, Sun Jiao's invitation is not something he can push away if he wants to, unless he doesn't want to do a good job, as long as he wants to mix well in his post, this kind of socialization is inevitable.

In addition to Sun Jiao, Yang Chengzu also had to participate in the banquets and poetry meetings of several other local clans, so as not to have an unsociable reputation.

However, in the past gatherings, everyone's attitude towards him was still a bit complicated in general, except for the Sun family, who was full of good accidents, and the other participants, more or less, were a little resistant. Especially among the young children of the major families, many people did everything they could to trouble him.

This is not surprising, who let everyone know that the first beauty in An Lu's show, Miss Sun Xueniang, is interested in this martial artist? The flowers of his own An Lu were broken by a martial artist from other places, and these sons who were qualified to be the sons-in-law of the Sun family would definitely not be happy in their hearts.

Fighting poems, fighting texts and even anagram couplets, they can always think of any means to provoke Yang Chengzu, and then they are photographed back by the Sun family. Dramas like this have been staged several times, and Yang Chengzu himself is used to it. But this New Year, he only gained goodwill, and did not have any hostile feelings.

His words have been sold better and better, and those small stories are loved by the women in the boudoir, and they are safe to sell. Even those tomes that have stepped up their issuance in response to Zhengde's call have good results, which is a surprise.

Jingzhong praised Yue Fei, and Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei in Nanjing, called Yue Fei the reincarnation. Now the shops in Nanjing that sell Jingzhong's scripts can be taken care of by the Wei Mansion, and the merchants who have been doing business since Anlu will try their best to get a few Jingzhong books to pass back.

How much of this is that Grandpa Xu is really very affectionate because of Yue Fei's relationship, or whether he took the opportunity to make friends with Xingwangfu, it is difficult for outsiders to say clearly. But in any case, with the influence of this relationship, Yang Chengzu's reputation can be regarded as a hit.

This era does not mean that your knowledge is good, and your reputation must be great, but some unlucky people are full of wealth but have no way to run themselves, and as a result, they have spent their lives in the county where they live, and it is not nothing. Yang Chengzu had the power of the Wei Prince's Mansion, and his literary fame in the entire southeast region became more and more prosperous, so that many people regarded him as a literati rather than a military general.

With this reputation, when Yang Chengzu befriended people, in addition to the identity of Xingwangfu Yiweizheng, the identity of another talented man was also indispensable. With the advantage of this status, those gentry treated him as half a scholar, and he was very polite in his speech and demeanor, unlike other martial artists with their nostrils facing to the sky.

The Sun family didn't mention the marriage again, but cared about the prince's studies and whether there was anything in the palace that needed the help of the Sun family. It can be seen that Sun Jiao is still very enthusiastic about his career, or that although he has returned to the forest, he does not want to return to the court and show his ambitions all the time.

This is not to say how he is obsessed with his mind, if he does not have these opportunities, he will hide in the mountains and forests all his life, poetry, wine and singing and sending love to the landscape, this is not a problem. But when it was learned that the young prince was expected to win the throne, no matter who it was, it was inevitable that he would have some ideas of his own.

The attitude of the entire Anlu gentry is probably the same, their relationship with the royal palace is not very good, and there have been such and such interest disputes in the past. But when the prince has hope of succeeding to the throne, everyone will put aside their prejudices and do their best to help the prince ascend the throne. An Lu's son becoming an emperor will definitely be beneficial to the entire Anlu in the future, which is almost the consensus of the Anlu gentry class.

There is no business, and it is more profitable than holding out a son of heaven, so during this time, Xingwangfu has become the most dazzling star in Anlu, and some decent people in the palace have become the darlings of social activities and have received countless invitations. Even those Qinglou Oiran, the popular top brands, are more and more willing to receive the nobles of the palace.

In the process of the banquet, in addition to gifts, the most important point is to recommend the children of their clans to the palace. In the past, the palace was not their ideal choice, after all, there was limited room for improvement, and if they put young children into it, they might only have the future of a six- or seven-grade miscellaneous official in their lives, which was not interesting.

But now this has become an investment, and maybe there will be dozens of times the return in the future, so they have recommended the most favored or best children in their families, hoping to work in the palace.

In Yang Chengzu's view, these recommended people may not be very good, and their talents are not very good. But at this time, the gap between people is not so big. Rather than believing in talent or talent, believe in the experience that comes with honing. He doesn't have the kind of collecting habits that the protagonists of some of the stories he has read, and he must take all the celebrities of his time under his command.

In fact, in his opinion, whether those celebrities can be used and whether they can be used for themselves is far more important than the talents they possess. No matter how high your talent is, no matter how good your skills are, you can't use them for yourself, and it's not interesting. However, these people who come to defect, if they hone well, may not be much worse than those celebrities.

Through this kind of recommendation, the benefits he directly or indirectly obtained in Anlu are also considerable, and in just one New Year, the benefits obtained by the Yang family can increase the value of assets by several percent in future business activities.

In the palace pill room, as a place for cultivating the elixir and pursuing immortality, this is the real forbidden place of the palace. Except for the prince, the prince, and Tao Zhongwen, everyone else was forbidden to enter. It is also here that the conversation between the prince and Yang Chengzu can be unscrupulous, and there is no need to worry about the ears of the wall.

The matter of vigilance was in charge of Tao Zhongwen, and this Taoist seemed to be far more talented in these matters than in cultivation. Zhu Houxi looked at the fire in the Dan furnace, turned around and asked Yang Chengzu, "Big brother, do you think this Dan has been completed?" ”

"I think it's almost there, but it's still a little bit of fire, and now if it's out of the pill, it's the formation of refining, but in terms of medicinal power, the left and right are a little worse. The main thing is that the medicinal herbs are not quite right. ”

"But Gu thinks, this pill is no problem, my prescription is an ancient prescription, you say that the medicinal materials are wrong, you say, what are the flavors wrong."

"There are a few more old medicines left over from the previous furnace in this medicine, and there are a few new medicines that you picked yourself, there is no distinction between primary and secondary, the monarch and the minister are unknown, the medicine may be a good medicine, but for those who eat it, I am afraid that the taste will be wrong. In my opinion, I have to take out those old medicines and throw them away, and replace them with the medicinal materials I picked by myself, so that I can believe it and eat it with confidence. But this matter can't be rushed, those old medicines are too strong, and if you take it now, it will backfire, and this thing has to be done slowly, so that it can be done. ”
