Chapter 287: King Canglan is coming
"Why?" Xiaoman was surprised, she hurriedly squatted down and looked at the child's eyes, "What's wrong, Wangshu, you tell your mother everything that happened, okay?" β
Wangshu nodded, and was about to speak, when Mr. came.
As soon as he entered the door, he first saluted Xiao Man and Xia Wanrou, and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Lu, Ling Lang's qualifications are very high, far beyond those below." Therefore, I think that we should find a better gentleman to teach, otherwise I am afraid that we will bury talents. β
Xiaoman was stunned, 10,000 incredulous, for a moment, she even thought that the other party was using such a high-sounding reason to reject her.
But soon, Xiao Man reacted, she got up and looked at Mr., frowned and asked, "When Fang was in the other courtyard, didn't Mr. praise Wangshu?" I thought... Thought you ......"
She didn't know what to say, anyway, at this moment, thousands of emotions surged in her heart, making the originally rational Xiaoman a little confused.
"Yes, that's exactly what happened down there." The gentleman bowed his head slightly and explained: "But I soon found out that I was wrong, because Ling Lang is really smart, and his qualifications are very high, and his vision is not comparable to me...... So please ask Mrs. to choose another excellent gentleman to teach Ling Lang! β
"As long as you ask a good teacher to teach, I believe that Ling Lang will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future!"
Seeing that Xiao Man was still a little confused, Xia Wanrou hurriedly thanked Mr., and asked the other party to get busy first, while she herself walked in front of Xiao Man, looked at Xiao Man, and looked at Wangshu who only reached her knees, and raised a smile full of appreciation.
She said with heartfelt emotion: "Wangshu is really powerful, it makes Mr. Lin feel ashamed." β
"Mr. Lin is just humbling himself." Lu Wangshu's expression was indifferent, and he was not affected by what Mr. Lin said just now, as calm as usual.
Xia Wanrou smiled, then looked at Xiao Man, who had already come back to his senses, and asked, "It seems that your family Wangshu is too smart, and Mr. Lin doesn't dare to teach." Xiaoman, what are you going to do? After all, you can't keep Wangshu at home all the time, and sooner or later you have to find a gentleman to teach. β
Thinking of this, Xiao Man couldn't help but have a headache, she looked sideways at Lu Wangshu, who was still calm, and didn't know whether to be happy or annoyed.
It will be possible to achieve great things in the future......
Mr. Lin's words lingered in Xiao Man's ears, making her unable to calm down and think about other things.
Because of Lu Li, the emperor was crowned the son of the world as early as when the child was not yet one year old, and his status has far surpassed his peers, coupled with Lu Li's teachings, the reason why the family goes out from time to time and the child's natural calm temperament, so that he is far beyond his peers in terms of knowledge and vision, and now he has been praised by Mr. Lin.
But is such a thing good or bad?
In the final analysis, their glory and status are all given by the royal family, if one day Wangshu shines too brightly and arouses their jealousy or suspicion, wouldn't it be the same as Lu Li at the beginning?
However, Xiaoman knows that now is not the time to worry about the future, and the most important thing at present is to find a good gentleman for Wangshu to teach.
But Mr. Lin, who was recognized by Old Man Xia, didn't dare to take this matter, in this huge Shangjing, who else was embarrassed or dared to accept Wangshu as a student?
As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Manchu suddenly felt that one head and two were big.
Xia Wanrou and Xiao Man have known each other for so many years, how could they not see her thoughts, and when Xiao Man didn't respond to her for a long time, she guessed two or three points.
Therefore, Xia Wanrou coughed softly, pulled Xiao Man's thoughts back, and then said: "Xiao Man, my father has been idle at home recently, complaining all day long that there is nothing to do, if you don't dislike it, I can ask him if he would like to take Wang Shu as a student." β
"Old man Xia?" Xiaoman was surprised.
Xia Wanrou nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Wangshu is so smart, my father will definitely like it very much, if you don't dislike it, I-"
"Absolutely!" Xiao Man was so busy that he was overjoyed, and he couldn't believe it: "Is it really possible?" It won't bother the old man, right? β
"Everywhere, he is very idle all day long, and he wishes to find someone to discuss those things with him." Xia Wanrou said with a smile.
This is the truth, the old man is getting older, and then resigned from his official position after an illness, and concentrates on studying ancient books at home, but because celibate research is too boring, he always wants to find someone to accompany him, but the juniors under his knees are afraid of the old man, plus the study of ancient books is really boring, even the most filial piety, did not dare to respond.
But now that I think about it, Wangshu is calm by nature and doesn't like to talk, he loves to read, and he has far more insight than his peers, so it's best to be with the old man.
After Xia Wanrou said this, Xiao Man also sincerely thought that this proposal was very good, he shook the other party's hand with emotion, and said solemnly: "Then it's more trouble for you to move around, Sister Wanrou, thank you." β
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you even more, thank Wangshu for not letting my father stay alone in that study all day." Xia Wanrou smiled and waved her hand indifferently.
After the decision was made, Xiao Man took Wangshu home, and Xia Wanrou asked someone to prepare the car, so that she could go to Xia Mansion after lunch.
After Xiao Man returned to Lu Mansion, he told Lu Li what happened in the morning, and the other party was equally surprised.
"Mr. Lin really said that?" Lu Li frowned, although there was a little surprise in his tone, but more, it was still a pride and pride that was difficult to ignore.
After all, Lu Wangshu is his son, and his own child has been recognized, and it is difficult for a father to feel nothing. What's more, the person who recognized his son was Mr. Lin, who even Old Man Xia admired.
"Of course, I'll lie to you about it." Xiao Man smiled, looked at Wangshu sitting on the side obediently, and said with a smile: "Sister Wanrou has already said that she will specially ask Old Man Xia, if Old Man Xia agrees, Wang Shu can become Old Man Xia's student." β
Old Man Xia has an unshakable position in Donglan Country, and his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over Donglan, and there is no shortage of Old Man Xia's protΓ©gΓ©s in the court. But as early as more than ten years ago, Old Man Xia stopped accepting students because of his age, and now if Wang Shu can become Old Man's student, it will be a great thing for the Lu family.
Lu Li and Wei Xiuyuan grew up together since childhood, so they naturally knew the status of this old man Xia, and now that they heard such news, they couldn't help but be even more excited.
He walked up to Wangshu, looked at the other party very seriously, and said seriously: "Wangshu, are you willing to become Grandpa Xia's student?" You know, Grandpa Xia is very strict, and if you want to become his student, you probably won't be able to stay with your parents often in the future, and even, when we go out to play, you have to be with Grandpa Xia all the time, is this okay? β
He thought that his son would think seriously for a while, just like he usually did when he asked the other party a serious question, which was unexpected, Wangshu nodded quickly, almost after Lu Li just finished saying this, he was quite impatient.
At this time, Xiaoman was even more surprised.
She also walked up to Wangshu and asked, "Wangshu, you... Don't you have to think again? β
"This is something that Wangshu likes, why should I think about it again?" Wangshu looked like adults were making a fuss, and explained seriously one by one: "My mother took me to visit Grandpa Xia in Xia's mansion before, I like him very much, and I also like to read, if I can read and do learning with Grandpa Xia, it will be better." β
"What's more, I heard that Grandpa Xia is a very powerful university scholar in Kyoto, and if Wangshu can do research with Grandpa Xia, he will definitely be able to learn a lot of knowledge." Lu Wangshu tilted his head, his eyes blinked and looked at Xiao Man, revealing a little child's innocence, "Isn't this good?" Mother. β
Xiao Man suddenly understood and understood Mr. Lin's feelings, after all, it was very stressful to impart knowledge to such a child!
In contrast, Lu Li seemed much calmer, and he nodded, "That's fine, but we still have to see what Grandpa Xia means, only if he agrees to accept Shu as a student, you can go to Xia Mansion to be with Grandpa Xia, you know?" β
"Wangshu understands." Lu Wangshu nodded.
After saying this, Lu Li casually found an excuse to break Wang Shu away, and then pulled Xiaoman into the bedroom.
Looking at the other party's serious appearance, Xiao Man thought that the other party was going to talk to him about Wangshu's excessive intelligence, but he didn't want to, after Lu Li closed the door, what he said made her a little confused.
"Because the matter of harmony was canceled by the emperor, the king of Canglan Kingdom is coming."
Xiao Man was stunned, looking at the other party's grim appearance, she didn't understand what this matter had to do with herself, she couldn't help asking, "This... Does it have anything to do with us? β
Lu Li sighed, and then lowered his voice: "The cooperation of the caravan was rejected by us, and the relatives were also canceled by the emperor in a fit of anger, you say, what is the king of Canglan going to do at this time?" β
Speaking of which, the two things of affinity and cooperation were forced to be suspended, and they were inseparable from them, although they knew that they were noble envoys, but after all, the envoys were Canglan people, if the king of Canglan then found a reason to be embarrassed, then ..... Lu Li didn't dare to imagine.
"But... But this is all the ghost of the envoy! Moreover, Canglan is so far away from Donglan, and the royal honor guard walks slowly, and when King Canglan arrives in Shangjing, he doesn't know when it will be. Xiao Man didn't understand what the other party meant, "After such a long time, who knows what will happen." β
The man found a place to sit down, his brows twisted into the word "Chuan", and his tone was low: "According to the news I know, King Canglan set off half a month ago, which means that we haven't been that long." β
The reason why he knew about this matter was that the emperor specially summoned him to the palace today to discuss the matter of peace and marriage.
