"You said a scholar named Xi Zhicai came to visit me?" Zhang Hao looked at the waiter who came to pay his respects with some surprise.

The reason why I was surprised was not only because Xi Zhi was a celebrity talent that Zhang Hao understood. What was even more surprising was the behavior of the other party taking the initiative to visit.

Speaking of this, Zhang Hao was a little speechless. These days, Zhang Hao, an overseas righteous citizen, has some fame in Luoyang.

In particular, those treasures are obsessed with the powerful and rich. In addition to wealth and treasure, Zhang Hao's reputation is stinky.

Without it, it is because Zhang Hao and Zhang let this traitor get too close, even if he seems to be a businessman now, it makes those who pretend to be righteous look unpleasant. Walking outside these days, although no one has come up directly to smack him in the face, that kind of contemptuous gaze can be seen from time to time.

If you say that you buy an official, you will be despised by others, anyway, Zhang Hao will be affordable. But now this can make Zhang Hao feel wronged.

Again, this is due to underconsideration. Because if you want to sell some 'treasures' in Luoyang, then it is impossible to bypass Zhang Rang. These eunuchs are cautious, and if they don't say a word, they may be resentful. In addition, Zhang Hao needs Zhang Rang's help to introduce customers, and he needs Zhang Rang's protection.

Zhang Hao is very clear about the truth that the husband is not guilty and guilty. If it weren't for Zhang Rang's cover, I'm afraid he, an overseas righteous citizen, would have been approached by those heroes and magnates who sharpened their knives.

In the final analysis, Zhang Hao shouldn't have sold treasures here in Luoyang at all. But it was too late for him to think about it.

At this moment, it can be said that the fox didn't catch it, but it made a fuss. When the buyer got the bad news, Zhang Hao thought that since he planned to play the sign of heaven and man, it seemed that it was not suitable to buy an official, and he had to have a heavenly shelf. But now that I haven't bought an official, my reputation is still stinky.

What else can I do now? Zhang Hao could only pinch his nose and admit it. Comfort yourself, what is not famous, strength is the last word.

In addition to comforting himself, Zhang Hao lamented a little, many of the predecessors of the traverser were wise and martial. Why did you come to yourself and make some stupid moves?!

It is precisely because of these encounters that Zhang Hao feels incredible that Xi Zhicai, a future celebrity, took the initiative to visit.

After being stunned, Zhang Hao didn't hesitate, he couldn't be specifically to reprimand himself, right? In the historical record of Xi Zhicai, he is not the kind of person who is upright and righteous to the extreme. Curious, Zhang Hao immediately greeted him.

He also thought about whether to learn from Cao Apu and come back to greet him. But it is obvious that Zhang Hao is not Cao Apu, and he has no status. That would have been a fake.

Walking out of the door, in the courtyard, Zhang Hao saw a tall and thin scribe in his thirties walking over leisurely under the guidance of the waiter. The face is a little sallow, the body is thin, and there is a sense of ease. Unlike other scribes Zhang Hao has seen, Xi Zhicai's demeanor and even his clothes are extremely casual.

Zhang Hao even noticed that Xi Zhicai's clothes had some stains on them, and they were wearing them loosely.

At this moment, Zhang Hao somewhat understands why the drama has a vulgar and ridiculous evaluation. In today's era of etiquette and demeanor, his behavior naturally seems a little non-mainstream. Even in modern society, people have requirements for grooming and politeness.

No wonder Xi Zhicai's reputation is not obvious, his posture, many sophisticated people in this era are too lazy to talk to him.

"This is Zhang Hao, Zhang Zigao, the famous overseas righteous man today, right? In the next drama Zhicai, take the liberty to visit, please forgive me. Xi Zhicai said.

The corners of Zhang Hao's mouth twitched, and he suddenly found a fault for Xi Zhicai that he was not welcomed. There was a distinctly strange smell in his speech.

"I don't dare to be famous, but I have some experience of infamy. Just now the entourage said that a scholar was visiting, and I hesitated for a moment. I'm worried that a righteous and noble gentleman will come to the door and denounce that! Zhang Hao didn't care about Xi Zhicai's abuse, smiled, and led Xi Zhicai to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down.

"A lot of people are used to following the crowd, as if others are reprimanding certain people, and they don't say it, as if they are not right. In addition, everyone feels good about themselves, and some powerful people know that reputation is the greatest weapon. Some poor scholars even feel that this can enhance their reputation and hope to be able to enter the office. Most of them are mediocre. Xi Zhicai commented disdainfully.

Although many people look down on Xi Zhicai, Xi Zhicai also looks down on their pedantry or hypocrisy.

"Brother Zigao, the reason why I took the liberty to come here is that I heard that you have a lot of good things here. Don't serve these teas, you see I've said good things for you. Bring your wine. I just heard others mention the taste of those fine wines, so I couldn't stand the wine worms and took the initiative to come to the door. ”

Xi Zhicai saw the entourage bring tea, and said directly to Zhang Hao, that righteous and strong made Zhang Hao speechless.

However, Xi Zhicai's freedom and honesty are not disgusting. Zhang Hao gestured, and the already familiar guards glared at the cheeky Xi Zhicai, and went directly to get the wine and food, the food was prepared by the post house, and the wine was obtained by Zhang Hao from modern times.

It's not the kind of bulk liquor that Zhang Hao uses to fool outsiders, but the kind of hardcover liquor.

"Tsk, it's really good wine, it's strong enough!" Xi Zhicai first took a sip of wine, tasted it carefully, and then exclaimed.

"If you like it, I'll take some back before I go, and I have a lot of them here. It's rare to know, and Zhicai doesn't have to be polite. Zhang Hao said with a smile.

"Haha, that's what you said, I'm a person who doesn't know what politeness is."

Xi Zhicai smiled, and then he was like a pure drunkard, drinking carefully, and he didn't mean to say anything to Zhang Hao at all.

Zhang Hao was a little surprised, but he didn't care. Although he knew that Xi Zhi was a great talent, he was not sure to recruit the other party. After all, there is no official position, and the reputation is not good. For such a person who is really talented enough, there is no appeal.

Maybe Xi Zhicai came here, purely out of curiosity about the so-called overseas righteous people, and even more interested in liquor.

Zhang Hao ate the dishes casually and did not disturb Xi Zhicai. After a while, Xi Zhicai's face was already flushed, and he hiccuped unabashedly. Xi Zhicai looked at Zhang Hao with drunken eyes.

"Brother Zigao has returned from overseas, I don't know what kind of scenery is overseas, and what is the difference between him and the Han Dynasty?"

Zhang Hao casually told Xi Zhicai about the Western Roman Empire, as well as other small and chaotic countries, as well as customs that were obviously different from those of the East. These things are a little confusing, and some of them are obviously not the same period of affairs have been talked about by Zhang Hao, anyway, no one else knows.

Xi Zhicai listened attentively, clapped his hands and marveled from time to time, and sometimes took the initiative to ask Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao may not know enough about the West in this era, but he still has some knowledge of the modern West, so it is messy, and Zhang Hao can also explain all kinds of questions about Xi Zhicai.

"The world is so big, it's really amazing. The Han can't sit in the well and watch the sky, I listen to the words of Brother Zigao, many systems in the West are worth pondering. ”

Xi Zhicai said in a rare and serious manner, "Brother Zigao is really well-informed, which makes me want to go to Dahan to see it in person." ”

"However, is Brother Zigao really an overseas righteous citizen? Although those anecdotes seem to be true, Brother Zigao gives me the feeling as if he heard about it from others. The details of many things are not understood. Xi Zhicai's eyes flashed, and he said slowly.

Zhang Hao was stunned, and then smiled. He didn't know where he showed his flaws, so that Xi Zhicai doubted. But it's all inconsequential. Pointing to the wine in the cup, "Brother Zhicai, where does he think these come from?" An item that Dahan has never seen before, where did it come from, not from overseas?! And is it important to return from overseas? Outside of Dahan, it can be said that it is overseas, but there is no doubt that I only recently came to Dahan. ”

"Yes, I was negligent. Outside of the Han Dynasty, it can be said that it is overseas. That's a good saying. Xi Zhicai didn't ask carefully, and nodded.

"So what is Zigao asking for? Since yesterday, I have heard people say that you, an overseas righteous man, want to 'serve the country', and even bribe for it. Bribing eunuchs. Many scholars think that Zigao wants to be a monkey and crown that! ”

When he said the four words of serving the country, he deliberately accentuated the tone, which obviously showed the irony of the words.

Zhang Hao frowned, Mu Monkey and crown? Those damn guys have a poisonous mouth. Behind the crown of the monkey, there are descriptions such as self-immeasurable and self-inflicted.

Hey, this matter is still leaked. I don't know if it's because his mouth is not tight, or if his house is infiltrated. Otherwise, this matter should not have been spread.

The struggle between the eunuchs and the nobles was fierce, and it was normal for this kind of thing to infiltrate each other. Otherwise, how can it be called a struggle?

It was only after Zhang Hao learned that the reason why he bought an official was known to outsiders was because of Zhang Rang's kindness.

Zhang Rang took so many treasures from Zhang Hao, and in order to ensure safety, he avoided being guilty. Zhang Hao discussed with Zhang Rang, and if he did business in the future, he would give him a certain amount of dry shares. This made Zhang Rang more and more embarrassed.

Regardless of his character, Zhang Rang still has some conscience. So I was ready to try to get a bigger official for Zhang Hao again. When I told the Spirit Emperor, it was inevitably spread out. So Zhang Hao has the reputation of wanting to be crowned by a monkey.

It can only be said that Zhang Rang's 'word of mouth' is really not for nothing! Although good intentions do the wrong thing.

PS: I saw that the recommended votes became four before, and I was immediately happy. In addition to the one given by the website, it means that there are book friends who have given recommendation votes. Before, it was three, but then it became four. But I'm a little superstitious, I'm a little awkward, after all, four is not very good, and I originally wanted to sneak myself to vote and let the vote become five. As a result, I was speechless and found that I had already voted for today.

Hey, which kind person will give a vote.
