Wang Xu said before that ingots are very smart, this is this cleverness, and it is for the eagle.

Now, Yuan Bao is as smart as a human being, and he even knows how to ask for bribes, is this about to become a refinement?

"I can't help you!" Wang Xu took out a few pills and shook them in front of the ingot.

Smelling the fragrance of the elixir, Yuan Bao immediately came to his senses, poked his head out from under his wings, and ate it very happily.

Touching the ingot's head, Wang Xu went to take the eagle ring.

This time, Yuan Bao did not resist, obediently stretched out his feet, and rubbed his chest affectionately.

"Interesting!"

Opening the Eagle Ring and seeing the note inside, Wang Xu had a little more smile on his face.

Xue Mushan actually regarded him as an old talent, or a new person, thinking that his calligraphy was very innovative, and wanted to ask him to go to Sanjian River to prove to each other.

I really don't know how surprised Xue Mushan was when he arrived at Sanjian Creek and found that he was a little kid.

"If you want to go to a high place, you need a ladder that you can climb up for your own reasons. Now that the ladder has arrived, it's time for me to recommend myself. Wang Xu clipped the note down and looked into the distance.

When Xue Mushan saw him, he should have two reactions, one was disbelief, and the other was suspicious.

Whether it is the former or the latter, he can use willow characters to speak, people are fake, but words can't be fake.

There is no willow character in the Confucian world, his handwriting is the only one for scorpion, ordinary people can't see the difference, a great Confucian like Xue Mushan seems to be clear at a glance, compared with the handwriting left in front of him, he can buy tofu if he can't recognize it.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Wang Xu got up very early.

Jiuquan Town is 600 miles away from Sanjian Creek, and the ingots have to fly for an hour, and it is even farther to take the carriage.

It is true that there are not a few good horses in the Confucian world that can travel thousands of miles a day, or even thousands of miles, and some horses with demon bloodline also have a million miles a day.

The Wang family does not have this kind of horse, after all, the Wang family is just a small landlord in the countryside, and the fastest horse can only travel 3,000 miles a day.

In order to hurry, Wang Xu got up in a bright light, urging the housekeeper Liu Quan to prepare the horse.

Liu Quan muttered in his heart, and he didn't dare to make an assertion, so he could only consult the old lady.

Master Wang and Mrs. Wang were tossed, and when they heard that Wang Xu was going to use a carriage and rushed to Sanjian River to see Xue Mushan, they were overjoyed.

Xue Mushan is no one else, that is a great Confucian who can't be seen by Liyang County.

Wang Xu's name as a prodigy only spread in Liyang County, and the highest achievement was only that a county lieutenant came to the county and left after half an hour.

Compared with Xue Mushan, County Wei is nothing, and if he can catch this high branch, the Wang family will not be able to rise to the top.

"Xu'er, this is 50,000 taels of silver tickets, I have already instructed Liu Quan to let him take his family with you and buy more gifts on the way. Xue Daru's name, my father has also heard of it, the first time you come to the door, you can't be empty-handed. ”

Compared with Mrs. Wang's only concern, Mr. Wang not only cares, but also thinks of the profits inside.

Xue Daru is now resigning and living in seclusion, but who knows when he will come back.

After the resurrection, even if Xue Daru can't be reinstated, he can always be a three-grade Zhizhou below.

Not to mention whether the apprenticeship can be successful, as long as you take this line, the Wang family will be able to soar.

At that time, even if Wang Xu can't get fame and can't be an official, he can retreat and become a rich man, which is the old man Wang's thinking of seeking the country.

Wang Xu didn't know what Master Wang thought, and he would laugh it off if he knew.

Yanque knows the ambition of the bird, if he doesn't have a career in the Confucian world, others don't have to mix, you are a fake when Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming.

Bidding farewell to his parents, Wang Xu took Liu Quan and the family's thirty nursing homes, and left after breakfast.

Along the way, compared with Liu Quan's ups and downs, Wang Xu seemed very comfortable.

He really couldn't think of how he, who was burdened with the name of a prodigy and had a good hand, could be ignored by Xue Mushan.

Xue Mushan is in a high position, and without a pair of fiery eyes, he can't take this step at all.

Otherwise, there are so many great Confucians in the Hanlin Academy, why don't they all see that they are second-class officials.

You must know that the scholars in the Hanlin Academy are more of the fifth or sixth rank of loose officials, and the scholars are just honorific titles, and the bachelors who do not enter the cabinet have no real power at all.

These people, all of whom have the ability of Confucianism, have wandered outside the three grades all their lives.

It is enough to prove that being an official is not only to be knowledgeable, but also to have eyes.

Xue Mushan is undoubtedly a person with eyes and knowledge.

Even if he is a bad move, and he has to retreat to the countryside after losing the party struggle, it can only be said that he is inferior to his opponents in terms of power skills, and it cannot be said that he is a rotten Confucian who can only do it.

Such people know how to invest and how to win.

There is no doubt that Wang Xu's trip is an action to show himself and let Xue Mushan know that he is a potential stock and can put some chips on him.

He is also confident that Xue Mushan will make the right choice, because if he is an antique, Xue Mushan is the one who knows how to do it.

"Young master, Xue Daru is a clear stream, and he is quite famous in Shilin, and I am afraid that too vulgar gifts are not enough to show his heart. I wondered if I should get some elegant gifts, and when the master came out, he gave me 50,000 taels of silver tickets, which should be enough to buy some literati calligraphy and paintings. ”

Liu Quan rode on a horse and discussed with Wang Xu in a whisper.

Hearing this, Wang Xu shook his head slightly, and said: "No need, when you pass by the county seat in a while, you can just buy some melons and fruits, and don't buy anything else." ”

"But..."

Liu Quan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wang Xu: "Just listen to me, I will explain to my father when I go back." ”

Buying things, what to buy, celebrity calligraphy and painting?

Fifty thousand taels of silver tickets is a lot for ordinary people, and it is not a small amount for the Wang family.

You can put it in Shilin, at most buy some of the handy works of celebrities.

And these celebrities are often famous among the talents, and they are worthy of everyone, and their calligraphy and paintings are not more than one million taels.

This is not a joke, Jinshi's calligraphy and painting are enough to seal a mountain.

Their calligraphy, painting and ink treasures can become heirlooms in a county, although the Wang family has some family background, but the family background is around 300,000 taels.

This amount of money, bankruptcy, is difficult to buy the proud works of celebrities, let alone everyone's calligraphy and painting.

In turn, a few of these so-called celebrities can be seen by Xue Mushan.

The calligraphy and painting that can be favored by Xue Mushan must at least have everyone's level, Shilin banquets, Confucianism often go as commentators, and the standards of celebrities and scholars are all set by them.

is comparable to the Great Confucian, or the status of the same as the Great Confucian calligraphy and painting masters, how can their calligraphy and painting be obtained by the Wang family.

Since it's a turtle in the countryside, let's not pretend to be a turtle prime minister, even if you don't take anything, it's better than getting an axe from the class.

Wang Xu's thoughts and pattern, Liu Quan can't understand at all.

Baume & Mercier, famous man, too far away from him.

As a housekeeper who has stayed in the countryside all his life and dealt with tenant farmers, the world in his eyes is one acre and three points of land in Jiuquan Town, and the county seat is a place of great horror for him, not to mention the higher-ups.

"Steward Liu, these nurseries of ours seem to have practiced martial arts, right?"

Idle and bored, Wang Xu opened the topic and set his eyes on the courtyard on horseback.

These nurseries are all tall and have bright eyes, and they know that there are martial arts in their bodies at a glance.

"Yes, a few country tricks." Liu Quan replied that he didn't care.

In the Confucian world, the text is respected.

The literati are the first tier here, and then the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism are the second tier.

As for those who practice martial arts and strengthen their bodies, their status is embarrassing.

The three saints of the human race, with the Confucian saint as the honor, the Taoist saint second, the Buddha saint again, there is no martial saint at all.

Therefore, in the Confucian world, those who can cultivate literature, those who can't cultivate Buddhism, and those who can't practice Buddhism, cultivate the Tao, and those who can't do all three will practice martial arts.

Naturally, martial arts have not been developed, and in all dynasties, the most powerful martial artists are only comparable to Confucianism, and they can compete with the fifth-order demon king.

Such a power, put on the big demon to walk all over the ground, the demon king is not as good as the dog, and the demon god can shake the northern border, and the role is not as good as a jinshi who is good at writing poetry.

At the very least, Jinshi's article can lead to the heaven and earth and give blessings to ordinary soldiers.

Warriors, then they are really stunned, coupled with the high-end forces that have not changed the situation of the war, the status is really embarrassing, so many border armies are literati in command, and warriors can only be literati bodyguards to avoid scribes being assassinated, or as cannon fodder for charging into battle.

"Young master, don't worry, although the brothers are not as good as Master Xiucai, if you meet a little demon who can't open your eyes, you can also escort the young master to rush out." Liu Quan thought that Wang Xu was worried about safety, so he hurriedly patted his chest and assured.

Wang Xu listened and shook his head slightly.

Fortunately, this doppelganger is taking the scribe route, if he takes the warrior route, he will lead this group of bitter haha, overthrow the three saints and rise up.

If it is said that taking the road of literature and preaching sanctification is the novice mode, and leading the warriors of the Confucian world to overthrow the three saints, it is the king mode.

Not to mention Confucianism, even Buddhism and Taoism, they will not allow warriors to ride on their heads, and they can't be suppressed if they want to.

It is true that all roads lead to Rome, but on the other hand, it is also true that there is a precedence. Since this is the Confucian realm, and literati can become holy for a hundred years, let's honestly study and take the exam, but we will really die if we die. ”

Retracting his gaze, Wang Xu pressed the idea of cultivating a warrior to the bottom of his heart, he had such a good start this time, there was no need to increase the difficulty for himself.

If you really want to play, you have to wait until you read and become holy, and you don't have to think about it until then.
