Jishanfang is a civilian area in the northwest of Luobinfang, where rich merchants and poor people live together, and they are some people who have no identity, but Wu Qing came here alone.

Wu Qing stepped into a rich house, and immediately a person dressed as a slave hurriedly led the way, and that slave was the number one of the shadow characters. After arriving at the hall, Wu Qing saw that there were already more than ten people in the hall.

"I've seen the Lord!" They fell on one knee and bowed their hands.

After Wu Qing sat down, he said, "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Lord!" Everyone answered in unison, and then got up and lined up on either side.

Wu Qing stared for a moment and said in a deep voice: "First tell me about the situation of Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi." ”

Shadow word No. 1 arched his hand and said: "Wu Chengsi has been promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Wu Sansi is the general of the right guard." Now fifty percent of the Wu clansmen are attached to Wu Chenghe, three percent are attached to Wu Sansi, and two percent are attached to the Lord. ”

Wu Qing asked, "No other news?" ”

"It's not coming out yet."

Wu Qing paused, Wu Chenghei is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, this is a very headache, it won't be long before he can add a title of three products under the same Zhongshu, so that he will be more powerful. And he just got a real shortage of a servant in the ministry, plus a general Zuo Yu Lin Wei who could be canceled at any time. As far as the official position is concerned, he can't be compared, but fortunately, he has the title of Duke of Zhou, which is orthodox, but his rank is too low, which makes Wu Qing very helpless, Xuanyi Lang is just a literary official from the seventh grade. Therefore, the rank of official position and the rank of loose official are completely unequal.

But she can't help it, the queen Wu Meiniang won't just promote one Wu clansman. So this is an inevitable result, and from this it can be seen that the diva seems to be preparing something.

Wu Qing said: "It's almost the New Year. Did you send the double money to the shadow word guard and the smoke word guard? ”

The servant said, "Just wait for the Lord to come." ”

Wu Qing paused and said, "You sent it to them, now is not the time." You have selected twenty people in these few days, and I want them to enter Yulinwei, remember to make their life and identity well, and they must not be sloppy! ”

"If your subordinates obey orders, your subordinates will do it." Shadow No. 1 bowed.

"Alright. I can't stay longer today, you have worked hard, remember. Be careful! Wu Qing said, stood up, and walked out.

"Congratulations to the Lord!"

When Wu Qing approached the gate of the mansion, he felt that someone was following. So he turned around and went into the alley. After a while, a girl in a yellow skirt slowly walked in, and Wu Qing smiled and appeared.

The girl was overjoyed and bowed and said, "Ruyu has seen the teacher." ”

Wu Qing stared at the girl and said with a smile: "It's really beautiful, let the teacher hug it!" ”

The girl's face flushed, but she still raised her arms. Wu Qing hugged his waist and said, "Sure enough, I have grown up a lot." ”

The girl sneered, "Teacher." He was fifteen years old. ”

Wu Qing sighed and said, "Ruyu, how did you come to Luoyang?" ”

"It's been a few days, I've been waiting outside the house for days, but I haven't seen the teacher come back." The girl said.

Wu Qing put down Yan Ruyu and asked, "How are the Guanlong nobles and the Shandong family doing?" Then I thought about it, I can't talk about it here.

So the two turned a few alleys, entered a restaurant, ordered a few hot dishes, and chatted while eating.

Yan Ruyu's face is very exquisite, like jade, but her eyes are a little foxy, she looked at Wu Qing with both eyes, and said: "Now in the Tang Dynasty, except for remote places, intelligence stations have been set up. It's all the junior brothers and sisters who are responsible, one-line contact, I am in the middle of the responsibility, I have collected a lot of information in my hands, but it is still not complete, they are all working hard, please punish the teacher. ”

"Reprimand? How do you want me to punish you? In the future, you will follow me, you look like a fox, you can't show it, the princess is as careful as a hair. Wu Qing looked at this proud protégé and felt very pleased.

Several disciples codenamed Jinling Thirteen Hairpins and Jiangnan Seven Swords have all grown gradually, and if there is another five years, then the energy they will exert will be immeasurable. Wu Qing is looking forward to it, by that time, the business empire has been completed, who can still shake himself? As long as you don't have a hard time with the imperial power, I believe that at that time, I will enter and exit, and I will laugh at the people when I retreat.

Soon, a new restaurant was opened.

When Wu Qing returned to the mansion, there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy waiting in the study.

Wu Qing walked into the study, it turned out to be Zhang Shuo, at this time Zhang Shuo had almost grown into an adult, and saw Wu Qing come in.

Zhang said that he paid a big salute and said, "Student Zhang said that he had seen the teacher. ”

Wu Qing regretted that this young man was once very smart, but he was not accepted as a disciple, although he performed the disciple ceremony, he was really not a teacher and student.

Wu Qing asked, "Zhang said, what is the matter with coming to Fuzhong today?" "Wu Qing didn't want to walk, he was already a little tired.

Zhang said: "Teacher, students want to participate in the spring festival of the coming year, but I don't know if they can get there." ”

Wu Qing was depressed, how could he know if he could be admitted or not, but he still said: "If you are confident, you will participate, if you are not confident, it is better to take the exam again in a few years." ”

Zhang said that his face was a little disappointed, originally he wanted to go to Wuqing's door, but it seemed that Wuqing didn't want to open the way for him, so he knelt down and said, "The student wants to worship the teacher as a teacher, please accept me as an apprentice." ”

Wu Qing was stunned, if it was a few years earlier, he was completely willing to accept apprentices, but now, he was a little hesitant, but he thought that if he refused at this time, he would not be able to set up an enemy in the future. This is a young man with a strong purpose, although he doesn't like it in his heart, but if he makes good use of this person, he may not be able to make a career. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Do you know what the first thing to do is to become my disciple?" ”

Zhang Shuo was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't be disobedient!" ”

"You can do it?" Wu Qing asked.

Zhang said a big bow and said: "One day is a teacher and a father for life, students should respect their teachers as their fathers, and students can do it." ”

"Okay, come on, burn incense and bathe, and set up an incense case!" Wu Qing said with a smile.

But for a moment, Wu Qing was wearing a Confucian shirt, and Zhang Shuo was also wearing a Confucian shirt. Under the witness of the family in the Taiping and other mansions, the two first worshiped Kong Sheng, and then Wu Qing sat high, Zhang said that after kowtowing to worship, he offered fragrant tea, Wu Qing drank it and put it down, and the gift of apprenticeship has been completed.

Wu Qing said: "You are the fifth disciple of my sect, I hope you can carry forward my doctrine, so that my science can be carried forward." ”

Zhang said that he was a little excited and said, "The students remember the teacher's teachings. ”

"Okay, let's have a banquet in the mansion today, and after the first day, several of your senior brothers will come over, and at that time, you will also come, and I will introduce you." Wu Qing said. (To be continued......)
