It turned out that as soon as Min Xu saw Hongyi's servant, he knew that he was either rich or expensive, so he hurriedly hugged his fists. Hearing this seemingly two-year-old child say very clearly: "Mr. is convenient", he immediately combined the holy child he had heard about many times since entering Beijing with the rich child in front of him, and decisively visited the shrine until he recited "Lord Belle", but Hongyi called himself "Hongyi", what is "Hongyi"? "Scholars must be Hongyi, and there is a long way to go" is also! This kind of ambition to be full of the world is not something that ordinary two or three-year-old children may have, which further confirms his judgment.

Ji Kaisheng listened to Min Xu's judgment process, and in order to take care of the face of the red clothes, he patiently praised some praise such as "judging the situation" and "arguing skillfully", but he was more interested in Yang Yongjian, who didn't say much on the side.

The first time he held a "symposium" with a "senior intellectual elite" like Gongsheng, Hongyi was a little nervous at first.

I have read a lot of time-traveling novels, and a considerable number of protagonists will use the "super ability" of poetry and poetry to attract a group of literati and lyricists, which has almost become a great weapon for later generations. Hongyi then began to search for some famous sentences to support the scene at the beginning of a few people sitting down, but unfortunately, this is the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the poems of everyone in the Tang and Song dynasties, even if Hongyi has been familiar with 800 Tang poems and Song poems since he was a child, it can only show that he has a solid learning foundation, and there is no boundary with "super ability". In the poetry works of the middle and late Qing Dynasty, Hongyi except for knowing a Yuan Mei and Yuan Zicai, there is no cultivation at all! After being bored for a long time, I remembered that when I went to Liulichang Cultural Street with Xiao Ai, I saw that there were two sentences in the propaganda column that were easier to remember, and they were more appropriate for the moment.

"The two sons have won the tribute, and their knowledge and bearing have made Xuan Ye admire. Today, I borrowed Mr. Zhang's elegant shop to sit down, and it can really be described as 'a noble son with a beautiful horse, and he is a scholar who comes and goes'. ”

Hongyi is actually self-made smart, you must know that in the early Qing Dynasty, the country was in ruins, and the literati and ink writers who were able to participate in the scientific examination without being a remnant also tended to be pragmatic, and most of the content of several scientific examinations was close to current affairs.

So, Yang Yongjian, who has a straight temper and has a very Ji Kaisheng style, said with a smile, "Lord Belle is a good poem, but it's a pity why did the first two sentences of this 'bamboo branch word' disappear?" ”

"This ......" Hongyi was a little at a loss, yes, he said these two sentences on the propaganda board at that time, how do I know what the first two sentences are? I didn't even know that these two lines were originally the last two lines of a poem written by a certain adult! What else is a bamboo branch word, it is even more confusing!

"Brother Zixi, you are really speechless. Lord Belle, this is examining your poetry and me. In this way, Xiaosheng took the liberty to make up a few sentences first, which is naturally not as good as Lord Baylor's poems, but just asked Lord Baylor and you to comment on them. Min Xu was really clever, and after self-righteous analysis, he began to bow his head and think about the first two sentences of this poem, which just resolved Hongyi's embarrassment.

After a while, Min Xu said, "...... The newly opened elegant store urges the New Year, and the four precious rooms of the study are precious. He did not shamelessly repeat Hongyi's last two sentences, obviously humbling himself and refusing to call himself a "noble son". Hongyi was just about to take advantage of the situation to shout, and then change the topic, but heard Yang Yongjian's evaluation-

"Although the poems are good, the poems and songs are given to the protégés of Confucius, which is normal. For today's priority, it should be the current affairs, and how to open a prosperous era for the Qing Dynasty! Yang Yongjian finally couldn't bear it anymore and whispered his true thoughts.

"Haha, Zixi (Yang Yongjian's cousin) virtuous brother, don't worry, at this time, the emperor will personally test you in a few days, let's relax first, how about the poetry of Baylor Ye and Hejia (Min Xubiao characters)?" Although Ji Kaisheng enlightened him, he cherished Yang Yongjian's straightforwardness. Then chanted:

"The newly opened elegant store urges the New Year, and the four precious rooms of the study are precious. Qiu Ma is a noble son, and he is a scholar. Hehe, yes, it's indeed a work on the topic, and I've been taught in the sky! Ji Kaisheng can only praise this improvised patchwork of bamboo branch lyrics, which can be regarded as a round.

"Yes, that's good. Xuan Ye is taught! Min Gongzi is the descendant of the sage Min Ziqian? Hongyi also got off the donkey, vowing not to play with poetry again in the future, and quickly changed the topic. [Kangxi didn't have many poems that had been handed down, haha! It's back.]

"Back to Lord Beile, Min Loss and Min Ziqian are the ancestors of Xiaosheng." Min Xu replied humbly.

"Oh...... Min Ziqian is quiet and steady, and once he speaks, he is to the point. Confucius said: 'If the lady does not speak, her words must be in the middle'. Hongyi said with something to say.

"Yes, Min Xu will definitely remember it! Thank you for the mention. Min Xu's expression was earnest, without the slightest embarrassment or displeasure.

"Well, that crane (Min Xu's table character) can know the origin of the Min family, and your vein is ......" Hongyi's original surname is Zeng, and the ancestor is "Zengzi" Zeng Shen, and Min Xu's ancestor "Min Zi" Min Loss, both Confucius's protégés, so there is this question.

It's just that "Minzi" is listed in Confucius's "four subjects" (Confucius's students are divided into four subjects, twelve philosophers, and seventy-two sages, four of which are divided into four categories: "virtue", "political affairs", "speech", and "literature", all of which are Confucius's most haode students), Zeng Shen was a disciple of Confucius in the later period, and Confucius was 46 years old, and his talent was average, which could not compare with Min Yuan's status in Confucius at that time. Later, however, he was diligent and studious, and he was quite a true biography of Confucius. Even Confucius's grandson, Kong Ling (Zi Si), studied under Zengzi and taught Confucius to Mencius. Therefore, he has participated in the way of Confucius and inspired the Mengzi school, and has inherited the Confucian school of Confucius, and has developed and made achievements, and is known as the "Five Great Sages" with Confucius, Mencius, Yanzi (Yan Hui), and Zisi. At this point, Zeng Hongyi has regained a lot of face.

"Back to Lord Belle, the Min family originated from Qufu, the capital of the Lu Kingdom. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the descendants of the Min clan, like other Central Plains scholars, avoided chaos and entered Anhui, Jiangsu and other places, but there were many exiles after that. For example, during the Northern Song Dynasty, Min Chengdao, the son of the 19th ancestor of Xiaosheng, sent an envoy to Goryeo, and later settled in Lixing, North Korea. My father also lived in She County, Anhui Province, and later sent his home to Jiangdu, Jiangsu. Min Xu gave a summary of his family history, especially mentioning the North Korean "Lixing Min family", which is probably a family celebrity who makes him more complacent.

"Oh, Brother Min is the same clan as the North Korean Lixing Min clan?" Hongyi found something more interesting.

"Yes......" Min Xu was a little strange and didn't know why.

"Then do you know anything about the North Koreans coming to Beijing to trade?" Hongyi asked.

"This ...... Please forgive Lord Belle for being lonely and unheard......" The clever Min Xu was a little disappointed.

"Hehe, it's okay, I'm just asking......" Hongyi was also a little disappointed......

"Lord Belle, there is some news about this Korean businessman's subordinates, I don't know if it can be used?" Another smart person, Zhang Suihan, who had been standing aside and serving carefully, intervened in time.

"Okay, let's hear it." Hongyi rekindles hope.

"Lord Belle, these Korean merchants generally come with tributary envoys, and they vary according to the purpose of their exercise. This winter solstice mission has a large number of people, and the imperial court does not restrict its activities, so at that time, many businessmen will bring Korean scholars to our Liuli Factory to buy classics and historical books privately. The subordinates also only knew about this business by looking at the surrounding shops......" Zhang Suihan said half-concealedly, looking at Hongyi's expression, after all, this is expressly forbidden by the imperial court.

"What about weekdays?" Hongyi didn't plan to investigate the legality of his business, and just wanted to get the answer he wanted as soon as possible.

"On weekdays, it is mainly the merchants who are brought in by the counselors, and they mainly buy horses privately. When he entered Beijing, he was full of old and weak horses, and when he left, he became a high-headed war horse......" Zhang Suihan put his mind at ease and explained it to him.

"I see. Where to trade? ”

"It's in the mule and horse market next to the entrance of the vegetable market."

"Well, it's not far from here! Xiao Gongzi, let's go! Hongyi jumped out of his chair and prepared to go.

"Master, no!"

"Belle, slow down!"

"Master, how about going back another day?"

The above three sentences blurted out at the same time, respectively from Park, Ji Kaisheng and Zhang Suihan.

Hongyi was stunned, and looked at the few people around him with a suspicious face. If it weren't for the fact that someone had already taken the lead in opposing it, the remaining few would have stepped forward.

"Hehe, don't worry, why did you stop me?" Hongyi didn't have that kind of face-killing problem now, so he immediately climbed back to his seat and asked patiently.

Ji Kaisheng, who sat down again, also nodded at Zhang Suihan and motioned for him to explain.

"Master, this mule and horse market is close to the entrance of the vegetable market outside Xuanwu Gate, and the yin qi is too strong. Go easily, I am afraid that it will damage the royal prestige. Second, the mule and horse market is a living market every morning, and then a dead market, and those who are tired of trading go to the slaughterhouse. It's almost three o'clock in the afternoon (half past four in the afternoon), and even the dead market is closed. Zhang Suihan said stiffly.

"Oh, I see, well, since there is no bazaar, the people are naturally gone. I listen to your advice! "Hongyi is happy to accept everyone's collective opinion.

This kind of democratic style, Hongyi's Park family, Sun family and Liang Gong are very accustomed to it, Ji Kaisheng is also due to the editing of "Chinese Studies and Western Studies", and he has long had some understanding, but the guard Mara, the store manager Zhang Suihan, the stubborn radish Yang Yongjian and the slippery head Min Xu did not expect that a royal doll less than two years old was so easy to talk to, did not cry at all, and did not even have an unhappy face, which really made these people breathe a sigh of relief.

"Master, it's getting dark, do you want to go back to the palace?" Xiao Gongzi saw the opportunity to interject and did his duty.

"Well, time has indeed flown by today, and I haven't talked to a few people yet. By the way, I wonder if you can be free tomorrow and accompany me to the mule and horse market to have a look? Hongyi asked intentionally or unintentionally.

The answer is naturally that everyone agreed, and even Yang Yongjian didn't mutter about this matter - it is much more energetic to go to see the North Koreans to trade than to dance and write here.

Out of Songzhu Zhai, everyone said goodbye one after another. Only Ji Kaisheng insisted on escorting Hongyi into the imperial city, and Hongyi agreed.

On Liang Gong's "Renchael", as soon as he walked out of the distance of only a dozen meters, Hongyi vaguely felt that the surroundings seemed to be different from when he first came, there were fewer weak scholars, but there were many more big men, and he always kept a moderate distance from his own group, seemingly careless, but it was also a trend.

Hongyi is a little nervous, it won't be so inch, the first micro-service private interview after crossing by himself, don't make the plot design too exciting, okay? What if something goes wrong?

"Mara?" Hongyi called out in a low voice, but waited for a long time but did not respond. Looking back, he saw that Mara had already quietly approached a strong man in the distance behind him with a knife on her waist,...... Is it impossible to stage a martial arts? Hongyi regrets that he didn't start practicing martial arts in a lifetime......

Mara in the back suddenly stopped, seemed to have said something to the man, and then turned around and ran back to Hongyi, and walked forward casually.

"Mara, but the people of the palace?" Hongyi saw that the guards were so calm, and he immediately calmed down, made a comprehensive judgment, and then came to this conclusion.

Mara was obviously stunned and blurted out: "Did the master see it?" ”

"Say!" Hongyi saw that Mara was not in a hurry, and knew that it would be fine, so it was good to push the boat along the river and be a sage master who saw six ways and listened to all directions!

"Bit Yugong." Leaned close to Hongyi's ear and replied briefly.

Bit of the palace? Emperor Fulin also knew about his departure from the palace......

In the end, Hongyi still put his mind at ease, no matter how much the emperor Xiao Ama cared about his leaving the palace, he was safe and sound for now.

"Master Ji, what do you think of these two tributes?" Hongyi began to care about another matter.

Ji Kaisheng didn't hear what Mara and this young master said clearly, and he didn't want to ask too much, so he quickly thought about the question of the superior, and then said: "The subordinates think that the two are talented, but their temperaments are different. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"Then forgive your minister's bluntness. After Min Xu's Confucian family, it seems that the poetry and knowledge are not bad, but it is too sleek, and it is inevitable that there will be more slack. Yang Yongjian is upright, although sometimes he is reckless, but he is upright. If he has an official position, he will certainly be able to do public service. "As the first minister, Ji Kaisheng is absolutely reasonable to say this.

"What Master Ji said is true. However, the characteristics of these two people are different, and it depends on who will use them. If the officials are fair, Min Xu will also be upright as an official; If the boss cheats, Yang Yongjian is afraid that he will only be more auspicious. Hongyi spoke his mind.

"As a courtier, he inherits the grace of God from above, and he is the people of Li. How can you manage this boss's business? "Ji Kaisheng hasn't understood yet.

"Haha, don't worry about them, if you come to the temple to make the list, as long as you entrust each of them with a good boss, you can make the best use of your talents. In this employment, we still have to use their strengths, and we can't generalize from partiality to everything, let alone waste food because of choking......"

Ji Kaisheng, who was on the side, finally nodded with some understanding.

"After all, in this eternal country, all kinds of talents must be born in succession, Ji - first - Sheng!" Hongyi deliberately quoted the Jin Shiyangwen given to him by Ji Kaisheng, and solemnly clasped his fists on Liang Gong's head, and the sentence "sir" made the Hanchen below burst into tears again......
