55 Xi Zhong drunkenly sold Pang Tong to tears The next day, when Xi Zhong came to his senses, he didn't remember at all that he promised to go to Jingzhou with Wang Heng, in a common saying, he drank a broken piece, and he shouted loudly: "I must not have said it, how could I sell myself because of some wine?" You must have made it up. ”

Wang Heng said with a smile: "Brother Zhicai, this is what Brother Wen Ruo witnessed with his own eyes. ”

Xun Yu nodded seriously and said: "Yes, Brother Zhicai, you really agreed to go to Jingzhou yesterday, and you also said a gentleman's word, Shuping said that horses are difficult to chase!" ”

Xi Zhong had a bitter face, hugged his head and said, "Wine is really a harmful thing!" I'll never drink again! ”

The drama wife couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's great!" ”

Wang Heng smiled: "Is what Brother Zhicai said true? ”

Xi Zhong hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, since Shuping said it, as long as I go to Wuling, Wuling Spring Wine will let me drink it casually, then I can't break my promise!" ”

Wang Heng laughed and said, "It turns out that Brother Zhicai still remembers!" ”

Seeing this situation, Xun Yu couldn't help but laugh.

Xi Zhong said: "Shuping, then I'll go to Jingzhou with you, but let's say it first, if I can't get used to staying in Jingzhou, I will come back at any time." ”

Wang Heng also said solemnly: "Yes, if Brother Zhicai has any dissatisfaction with Jingzhou and me, he can leave at any time, and I will never stop him." ”

Over there, the wife of the drama is already packing her luggage, Wang Heng specially bought a carriage, Xi Zhong's body is not very tough, he can't ride a horse for a long time, and of course his wife can't ride a horse, so he needs to take a carriage.

Watching the drama wife move some trivial items at home to the carriage, Xi Zhong said: "You don't need to bring so many things." ”

Wang Heng said: "Yes, if you go to Jingzhou, you will have everything." ”

Xi Zhong said: "Lest the next time I come back, there are too many things to bring." ”

Wang Heng smiled, although he hadn't been with Xi Zhong for a long time, he already knew Xi Zhong's character better, so he didn't think it was wrong.

When the wife heard this, she only brought some clothes and a few pieces of her dowry jewelry, and got into the carriage.

Xi Zhong also got into the carriage, and the group stepped on the horse and embarked on the road back to Jingzhou.

Out of the south gate of Yangzhai City, Wang Heng asked Deng Zhan to take two guards to escort Xun Yu to the southeast back to Yingyin, they returned to Jingzhou to go from the southwest, Deng Zhan sent Xun Yu back to Yingyin, and then he could catch up with Wang Heng and his party quickly.

Although Xi Zhong didn't admit that he said that he was coming to Jingzhou in the morning, it was just because of his banter personality, in fact, he was still looking forward to the trip to Jingzhou.

After all, this was the first time he was appreciated and recognized, and in the conversation with Wang Heng, he could feel Wang Heng's attention to him.

And Jingzhou is also the first time he went, although Yang Zhai is actually very close to Nanyang, but he has never been once, although he has been idle in the first half of his life, even drinking and eating meat have to rely on his wife to sell jewelry, but in fact, he has done a lot of things for this family, in addition to the time to read, he is also trying to make money, and even the humble service has been done, he has no time to go out.

After listening to Xi Zhong's experience, Wang Heng couldn't help but sigh, there really is such a genius in this world! Born in a poor family, the environment and conditions for studying are not the same as those of the scholar family, but he can have the top talent even among the children of the scholar family, if he is given the same learning conditions when he is young, what kind of achievement can he achieve?

When the group arrived in Ye County, Deng Zhan and several people caught up with them, and they had already escorted Xun Yu back to Yingyin safely.

Speaking of which, there are still a lot of regrets in this trip to Yingchuan, Guo Jia and Xun Yu have not seen both Wang Heng, this is Cao Cao's later five great strategists, they are all top talents of this era, it would be great if they could be fooled, but now they don't even have a chance, of course, the harvest of this trip is also very big, flickering to Dian Wei and Xi Zhong, Wang Heng feels that he can't be too greedy.

This trip, Wang Heng can't help but go back, after all, there is still a time bomb in Jingzhou, and he doesn't know when it will explode, and he is not at ease outside.

After entering the territory of Jingzhou, Xi Zhong obviously found that Jingzhou was much more stable and rich than other places, in fact, Yingchuan County, where he was located, was already a relatively stable and wealthy place, but compared with Jingzhou, there was an obvious gap.

The roads in Nanyang are well repaired, wide and smooth, the city is also repaired taller and stronger than other places, the faces of the pedestrians on the official road in Nanyang are much better than the ordinary people in Yingchuan, and it is rare to see people with vegetables on their faces, which means that the people of Nanyang can basically eat enough, in this era, this is already extremely rare.

Seeing Xi Zhong from time to time, Wang Heng told him, in fact, not the whole Jingzhou is like this, only Nanyang and Wuling counties are like this. Nanyang is because there is a good Tai Shouyang here, and Wuling is because Wang Heng can directly control it, and Wang Heng can't control the other counties for the time being.

Xi Zhong nodded thoughtfully.

When passing by Wancheng, Wang Heng visited Yang Xu again, and saw that his complexion was better than the last time, he asked Wen Ping, it turned out that Wen Xin had invited the famous doctor Zhang Bozu, and gave Yang Xu a pulse, he diagnosed Yang Xu because he was too tired and his digestion was not good, and there was something wrong with his stomach, so he prescribed medicine to Yang Xu, and now he takes it regularly, and Yang Xu also feels a lot better.

This made Wang Heng very pleased, and he told Wen Ping to continue to pay attention to Yang Xu's body. For the sake of clean government, Yang Xu drove his wife and children back, and there was only one scholar by his side, and no one took care of him, and only Wen Ping could take care of him.

When passing by Xiangyang, Wang Heng went to visit Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong again, this time he saw Huang Chengyan, but Huang Chengyan looked like an idle cloud and a wild crane, and he had no intention of doing anything at all, so that Wang Heng was also unable to fool, and in the end he didn't even show the meaning of solicitation, but he was just familiar with Huang Chengyan, at least he was a friend in the future.

Of course, in Huang Chengyan's house, Wang Heng met Huang Yueying, who he had always been curious about, that is, Zhuge Liang's wife in the future, she is only four or five years old now, and her skin is indeed a little dark, but her appearance is quite dignified, especially a pair of eyes, which are very smart and impressive, and are not as ugly as written in the book.

Perhaps white skin is the primary criterion for ancient beauties, and if the skin is not white, they are excluded from the ranks of beauties.

In Pang Degong's house, Wang Heng also saw Pang Tong for the second time, this kid heard that Wang Heng was coming, and ran from his own house to Pang Degong's house to see Wang Heng, this time he saw Pang Tong, Pang Tong was a little higher than the last time they met, he was still very affectionate to Wang Heng, and he was still a little cold to others.

Pang Tong took out some arithmetic problems he had done during this time, and handed them to Wang Heng with some trepidation, just like a primary school student handing over homework to the teacher.

Wang Heng carefully looked at the questions that Pang Tong had done, he was a little surprised, Pang Tong's progress was too fast, and now his arithmetic level has reached the high school level of later generations.

Don't underestimate this high school level, Pang Tong is completely dependent on himself to read the arithmetic books compiled by Wang Heng without anyone to teach him, and the level he has reached by self-study, and most importantly, he is only nine years old this year! It's so wicked.

Wang Heng estimates that in a few years, he will not be able to teach this kid himself.

Wang Heng really wanted to ask Pang Tong if he would like to go to Hanshou Academy to worship under Zheng Xuanmen, so that he could teach Pang Tong's arithmetic from time to time. However, he looked at Pang Degong, who was smiling on the side, and he dispelled this idea again, because Pang Tong had always studied with Pang Degong, and if he asked like this, it would be too disregarding Pang Degong's face.

Wang Heng just smiled and said to Pang Tong: "You have done a good job in these questions. ”

Pang Tong's face was flushed with excitement.

Pang Degong looked at his nephew with a smile, and he said to Wang Heng: "Shuping, this time you go back to Hanshou, can you bring Tong'er back to Hanshou and let him worship under Mr. Kangcheng?" ”

Wang Heng was taken aback, and he hurriedly said, "Why is this?" Isn't he good under the door of Degong? ”

Pound said fairly: "Look at the arithmetic problems he does every day, can I teach him?" I can't do these questions myself. ”

Wang Heng couldn't help but be dumbfounded, Pang Tong, this kid, is indeed too demonic.

Pang Degong continued: "Now that there is a master of scripture like Mr. Kang Cheng in Hanshou, if you don't let Tong'er worship under him, wouldn't it be a waste of Tong'er's talent?" ”

Wang Heng couldn't help but admire Pang Degong's open-mindedness, no wonder he could teach a disciple like Pang Tong.

Wang Heng looked at Pang Tong, and at a glance saw that Pang Tong's eyes were full of expectation, he smiled and said to Pang Tong: "Are you willing to go to Hanshou?" ”

Pang Tong did not answer, but looked at Pang Degong, Pang Degong gave him an encouraging look and nodded to him, and Pang Tong nodded vigorously to Wang Heng: "I am willing!" ”

Pang Tong's going to Hanshou Academy was decided.

Pang Tong knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to Pang Degong a few times, and when he raised his head, his eyes were already full of tears.

Wang Heng's heart shook, who knew that Pang Tong, who seemed to have a strange temper, also had such deep emotions in his heart.

Pang Degong said with a smile: "Idiots don't have to be like this, go to Hanshou to study hard, and the one who will glorify the lintel of my Pang family in the future must be you!" ”

Pang Tong nodded tearfully.

Wang Heng stayed in Xiangyang for one night, and after Pang Tong told his family and packed his luggage, he set off for Hanshou together.

Pang Tong and Xi Zhong and his wife sat in the same carriage, according to their age, Xi Zhong and his wife are enough to be Pang Tong's parents, Xi Zhong and Pang Tong's temper are a little strange, but they met together, the relationship is surprisingly good, only half a day, Pang Tong is very attached to Xi Zhong.

Maybe it's because neither of them is liked by the world? When these two lonely souls met, they resonated.

For the two of them to get along so well, Wang Heng is happy to see it, Xi Zhong is undoubtedly an excellent strategist, Pang Tong will be able to learn a lot with him, maybe ten years later, he can harvest a better phoenix chick than the real history!

Two days later, at noon, Wang Heng and his party returned to Xiaoling, Cai Mao gave them the wind, Wang Heng learned from him that Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai took their subordinates to suppress the bandits again, Wang Heng couldn't help but smile, with these two people in the Jingzhou water army, the water bandits in Jingzhou are in trouble.

In the afternoon, Wang Heng and his entourage finally returned to Hanshou City, and this day had been nearly twenty days since the day they left Hanshou.

As soon as Wang Heng came back, he first went to visit his parents, Zheng Ning was very happy to see him come back, Wang Heng had been out for nearly twenty days, how could she, a mother, not worry? Now that she saw her son back, she let go of her hanging heart.

Although Wang Rong's expression was very strict, his eyes were still full of concern, which meant that he was also concerned about his son.

Zheng Ning kept asking his son about the situation along the way, did he endure hardships? Did you encounter a robber? Did you eat well?

Wang Heng replied to her that they did not suffer hardships along the way, they all walked on the official road, the group rode horses and carried knives, no robbers dared to rob them, and the food was also very good, so that the mother should not worry.

Wang Heng asked Wang Heng about his filial piety in Langya, Wang Heng told him one by one, and Wang Heng's face showed sadness again: "It's a pity that Jun Gong died early, and I couldn't see him for the last time." ”

Wang Heng comforted his father for a while, and then told his father that he had brought Dian Wei and Xi Zhong back, and he did not hide from his father that Dian Wei had killed someone.

Wang Rong is not a pedantic person, he knows that Li Yong, who Dian Wei killed, is a person who should be killed, and he also understands that in today's world, if he expects the law to punish Li Yong, it is almost impossible, so he does not object to Dian Wei's murderous behavior of avenging his friends. He just instructed his son not to let Dian Wei show his real name before the imperial court granted amnesty, so as not to give people a handle.

Regarding the use of Xi Zhong, Wang Rong listened to Wang Heng's own opinions, and Wang Heng said that for the time being, he would let Xi Zhong follow him, and he would not hold any specific positions in the state and county.

After discussing all these things with his father, Wang Heng took his leave, and he asked Deng Zhan and Yao Gang to arrange the residences of Dian Wei and Xi Zhong, and then took Pang Tong to Hanshou Academy.

Zheng Yi had already returned to Hanshou Academy in advance, so Zheng Xuan already knew that Wang Heng was back, and he was also very happy, so he sat down and waited for Wang Heng in the hall.

Wang Heng took Pang Tong to Zheng Xuan's room, he bowed to Zheng Xuan, and Pang Tong also bowed respectfully to Zheng Xuan and said, "Pang Tong has seen Mr. Kang Cheng!" ”

Zheng Xuan looked at Pang Tong with interest, not surprised by Pang Tong's ugly appearance, he said to Wang Heng: "Shuping, this is the genius you brought back?" ”

It turned out that Zheng Yi had brought Wang Heng back to be a little genius, and he was ready to worship Zheng Xuan under Zheng Xuan's disciple for the matter of his disciples, Zheng Xuan was looking forward to it after hearing it, who wouldn't want to teach a genius as a teacher?

Zheng Xuan remembered that after Wang Heng came back from pacifying the Nanyang Rebellion last year, he had mentioned this child named Pang Tong, and from Zheng Yi's tone, Zheng Xuan felt that Pang Tong's talent was even better than that of Jiang Wan, Pan Jun and others under him, which made him look forward to it even more.

Wang Heng said with a smile: "The teacher may wish to take the test himself." ”

Seeing Wang Heng's confident smile, Zheng Xuan became interested, and he said to Pang Tong gently: "Your name is Pang Tong?" ”

Pang Tong nodded.

Zheng Xuan asked again: "Pang Degong is your clan father?" ”

Pang Tong nodded again.

Zheng Xuan said: "I heard that Pang Degong's attainments in scriptures are also quite profound, you used to study scriptures with him, why do you want to worship under my door now?" ”

This question is very difficult to answer, and Pang Tong also thought about it for a long time before he spoke: "It is not easy for my patriarch to teach me, and it is easy to empty the things in his stomach. He also said that Mr. Kang Cheng is a master of scripture who integrates ancient scriptures and modern scriptures in one furnace, and he has everything in his chest, and he will not be hollowed out by me. ”

Pang Tong's words made Zheng Xuan, Wang Heng, and Zheng Yi all laugh and laugh together.

Zheng Xuan stopped laughing and said to Pang Tong: "Okay, then I'll see if you can hollow me out." ”

Zheng Xuan began to formally test Pang Tong, he asked Pang Tong what scriptures he had learned, Pang Tongyi said the scriptures he had learned, the number was beyond Zheng Xuan's expectations, Zheng Xuan randomly selected some chapters and sentences from these scriptures to test him, Pang Tong was all backwards, so that Zheng Xuan was amazed.

Zheng Xuan asked Pang Tong again about the meaning of these chapters, Pang Tong also explained them one by one, and added a lot of his own opinions, Zheng Xuan nodded again and again, for a nine-year-old child, such a table is really perfect, he can be called a genius.

Seeing the look of satisfaction on Zheng Xuan's face, Wang Heng said, "Teacher, you can test his arithmetic again." ”

Zheng Xuan's face showed a different color, could it be that a nine-year-old child still has any great attainments in arithmetic?

He casually came up with a question, this question is a problem of a binary equation, just as he came out of the question, Pang Tong's fingers kept moving, almost the moment after Zheng Xuan finished the question, Pang Tong's answer came out, which made Zheng Xuan's eyes full of surprise.

Zheng Xuan asked a deeper question, and Pang Tong quickly came up with the answer.

Zheng Xuan asked questions again and again, and later, even Zheng Yi, who had followed Zheng Xuan to study arithmetic for many years, frowned, but he still didn't stump Pang Tong.

Zheng Xuan said with a bitter face: "I understand now, why did Pang Degong let you worship under my door, with a student like you, it is really to hollow out the teacher!" ”

Wang Heng and Zheng Yi both pursed their lips and laughed.

After listening to Zheng Xuan's words, Pang Tong was a little at a loss, he didn't know if Zheng Xuan was satisfied or dissatisfied with him when he said this.

Zheng Xuan also laughed: "Then, I hope you can empty the things in my stomach in the future!" ”

Pang Tong still stared at Zheng Xuan with wide eyes, not knowing whether he accepted himself or not.

It was Wang Heng who said to Pang Tong: "Hurry up and bow to the teacher, the teacher has accepted you." ”

Pang Tong was surprised and frenzied to Zheng Xuan.
