The next day, Duan Xing got up early and went to greet Wang Xuangui, a teacher in the prince's mansion, under the leadership of the sixth son.

Mr. Wang stroked the beard on his chin, listened to Duan Xing's self-introduction, frowned and thought, "Ling'er, this little girl, doesn't know how thick the sky is. The countries of Xingdao met the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, although the envoys of various countries were subordinate countries to worship the suzerain, and belonged to the ministers to worship the monarch, but after all, they were foreign envoys, and they could not lack the number of courtesies. The daughter of a prince's family pestered people from foreign countries to ask the stars and tell fortunes, and it was late at night, which was really unorthodox. Alas, I only blame myself for pampering and doting on her on weekdays. However, among the princesses and princesses of Duanwang, only the third Zhao Ling'er is the most well-behaved, and he is deeply loved by Duanwang, who loves to read and study since he was a child, and usually has a sweet mouth, so that he is as lawless as he is today. But the matter has come to this point, if King Duan learns and blames it, I am afraid that my official position will not be guaranteed, so I have no choice but to help her inherit it first, and then seek countermeasures. ”

Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Duan Gongzi has traveled thousands of miles to see my king Shengshang, which is really the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty and your country." I don't know where your country is in the ocean? ”

Duan Xing picked one of the islands in the tourist resort and answered Mr. Wang.

Wang Xuangui closed his eyes and stared, as if he had heard something, and excused: "The island of creation, the island of creation." ”

Duan Xing told Mr. Wang about the tropical style one by one, and Mr. Wang opened his eyes and nodded frequently, convinced of Duan Xing's words.

Then from the beautiful scenery of the southern islands, he talked about the splendid rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty.

Wang Xuangui is thinking in his heart, the eyes of these three young ladies are really sharp, the envoy in front of him talks extraordinary, knows astronomy and geography, and seems to know my Great Song Dynasty well. It's a pity that this kind of talent is not used by my Great Song Dynasty. If there is this person's knowledge, I, Wang Xuangui, can also rise to a high position, and I will have no worries about food and clothing. It's just a foreign minister, with a heavy responsibility, and he must go back and forth from where, it's a pity, it's a pity!

Unexpectedly, what Duan Xing and Zhao Ling'er were worried about just let Duan Xing talk a few words, and then it disappeared without a trace.

Duan Xing looked at the teacher in front of him and seemed to be quite touched by the content of his conversation, afraid that it would be too public, and halfway through speaking, he stopped abruptly and did not continue.

Wang Xuangui was deeply shocked by the "foreign descendant" in front of him, and at the same time sighed that the third lady, Zhao Ling'er, was really good at picking people.

He politely said to Duan Xing: "Duan Gongzi has an extraordinary temperament, is well-read and has a strong memory, and is really a rare genius in the world!" The old man admired it very much, if Duan Gongzi was willing to appreciate his face, please let him go down for a few more days, and let the old man ask Duan Gongzi for advice. ”

Duan Xing said: "Mr. Wang has won the award. Xiaosheng envied the Chinese culture, came to the Central Plains of your country from the island of barbarians, apprenticed to learn art, studied Chinese culture, and mastered skills, in order to make friends from generation to generation, complement each other and win-win! Yesterday, I heard the third princess of Duan Wang Ye mention Mr. Wang's knowledge, which is really an amazing Confucian, a contemporary scholar. Xiaosheng admired him very much, so he begged the three princes to look up to Mr. and listen to Mr. 's teachings. Today, it is a blessing to see such an erudite master as Mr. Wang! ”

Wang Xuangui was overjoyed and praised again and again: "The children can be taught, the children can be taught!" ”

The immutable truth of the eternal universe is: thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn!

Wang Xuangui was about to further ask Duan Xing about the customs of the island, and asked the little servant of the "six sons" to come in and report that the third princess had come to visit.

Before the sixth son finished speaking, when Duan Xing turned his head to look, the two girls, Zhao Ling'er and the maid Qin Xin, who met by chance last night, had already walked into the hall.

The third princess and Qin Xin gave Wang Xuangui and Duan Xing blessings. Zhao Ling'er said to Wang Xuangui: "Ling'er greets Mr. Wang!" ”

Wang Xuangui deliberately straightened his face and reprimanded sharply: "Bold apprentice, so bold, he actually brought overseas guests from afar to the old man's room late at night!" Let King Duan know, see if you don't break your legs! ”

Zhao Ling'er was not afraid at all, she looked at Duan Xing strangely, only to see Duan Xing's relaxed face, she secretly squeezed her right eye, and had a number in her heart, and hurriedly knelt down to Wang Xuangui, and said with a crying voice: "Mr. Wang, Ling'er knows that he is wrong, Ling'er will not dare in the future, Ling'er will get acquainted with foreign talents in the future, and he must not let him bother Mr." Even if he cried and shouted to see the tall and honorable gentleman, the student would not dare! Woohoo......"

Wang Xuangui suddenly became at a loss, his attitude softened, and said, "It's good for Ling'er to know your mistakes, and the master will spare you." ”

Zhao Ling'er wiped her face, smiled again, and said to Wang Xuangui: "Ling'er, thank you, Mr. Wang!" ”

Wang Xuangui knew that she was all performing just now, shook his head and said, "Alas, you, as a teacher, sooner or later you will be angry to death!" ”

Zhao Ling'er said: "I won't." I have calculated the hexagram for Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang will live to be 100 years old! ”

Wang Xuangui said: "Yes, yes, yes, you will be angry with the old man when you live to be 100 years old!" ”

Zhao Ling'er grimaced, stuck out her tongue, and stopped talking poorly.

Duan Xing was so amused by this old man and young that he wanted to laugh, and when he looked at Na Qin Xin and Liuzi, he also shrugged his shoulders and tilted his head to the side, and it seemed that he was also desperately holding back his laughter.

Wang Xuangui looked at Duan Xing and said to Zhao Ling'er: "This foreign Duan Gongzi is really a genius of the world. Ling'er, if you have one percent of this child's knowledge, I will die without regrets. ”

Zhao Ling'er said in surprise: "Hey, Mr. has already talked to Duan Gongzi?" ”

When he squinted at Duan Xing again, he saw that he was a little proud, and thought that this Duan Gongzi was not only dignified in appearance, but also very knowledgeable. You must know how picky Mr. Wang is, he is extremely harsh on his studies, and if you want to get a compliment from him, there are really very few brothers and sisters in their Duanwang Mansion. Even his favorite self has rarely heard the word "good" from the old gentleman's mouth.

Zhao Ling'er couldn't help but feel a little happier in her heart, and her impression of Duan Xing was better than yesterday.

She hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said to Wang Xuangui: "Since this is the case, then I implore Mr. to leave Duan Gongzi to stay in Mr.'s courtyard for a few more days, so that we can ask Duan Gongzi for some knowledge and use at any time." ”

Wang Xuangui closed his eyes and nodded: "The old man also intends to let Duan Gongzi linger for a few more days." Alas, if I had such a young and promising talent in the Great Song Dynasty, it would not be in vain for the meager light and heat of these old scholars of my generation who practiced martial arts and ink, chewed on words and words, taught and solved doubts, and preached and educated people. There seemed to be sadness in his words.

Zhao Ling'er continued: "Then why don't you just let Duan Gongzi be a 'companion reading envoy' in this palace, and stay for a long time and don't go back to your homeland?" As he spoke, he looked sideways at Duan Xing again, and also winked at him secretly.

Wang Xuangui was noncommittal, and also turned his head to look at Duan Xing.

Duan Xing said seriously: "A big country, the people's aspirations, if Xiaosheng can learn skills in this civilized power, he will not hesitate to be a person from the Central Plains." I implore Mr. Wang and the third princess Yucheng to help. ”

Wang Xuangui nodded and asked Duan Xingdao: "It's easy to talk about the prince's mansion and the Shengshang, but I don't know when your country wants the prince to return to the dynasty and restore his life?" ”

Duan Xing said: "The island of barbarians is intended to be sought. Xiaosheng is alone in a certain country on Xingdao, without much family, and the lord of the country also hopes that Xiaosheng can learn more about Chinese civilization, as short as a few years, as long as decades, until the day of completion, do not teach Xiaosheng to return to China. ”

When Wang Xuangui heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "This is very good, Duan Gongzi can study with all the princes and princesses in the school of this palace, but the reason for this matter is from Ling'er, and Ling'er should go to Duan Wang Yuming." ”

Zhao Ling'er couldn't ask for it, thinking that as long as you, Mr. Wang, agreed to take in Duan Gongzi, I would always beg my father to pass. I was happy in my heart, and I was full of promises. Wang Xuangui and Duan Xing also breathed a sigh of relief.

At lunch, Zhao Ling'er looked for his father Duanwang, who had returned from the court's deliberations, and told him about Duan Xing that he had told Wang Xuangui. King Duan remembered that not long ago, an envoy from the overseas islands had indeed come to see the Holy One, and he himself had accompanied him at the welcome feast. Because of the large number of people, after the various envoys finished the meeting, they mostly observed the customs and customs in the Tokyo market, and I really can't remember whether there is this Duan Gongzi in it. The most favored of King Duan's children is this well-behaved three girls, since she likes it, she will go with her; Moreover, the royal brother of the current saint, King Duan, is also happy to make friends with other countries, and if there are envoys who are willing to live in the Central Plains for a long time to spread friendship and deepen exchanges here, it will always be a blessing.

Zhao Ling'er didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and she was overjoyed, so she led Duan Xing to visit and introduce them all over the palace. Duan Xing also saw that the wind made the rudder, improvised, exquisite, and generous, and took care of the people up and down the Duanwang Mansion smoothly. Within a few days, Duan Xing was treated as his own family member in the Duanwang Mansion.

Zhao Ling'er saw that Duan Xing was able to socialize freely, speak appropriately, not lose etiquette, and have a good demeanor, and she became more and more convinced that he was her true Langjun. Although he didn't say it on the surface, he could convey his feelings everywhere, secretly send Qiu Bo, and make gestures, all treating Duan Xing as a future princess and concubine.

How could Duan Xing not know Zhao Ling'er's emotions, but he was burdened with heavy responsibilities and didn't dare to be sideways, for fear that once his children were in love, it would lead to shortness of breath for heroes. But the kindness and friendship of these three princesses are not easy to deal with coldly, but they are just cautious and respectful of each other. However, he was secretly anxious to obtain the information of his missing colleague, but he had no choice but to cling to the big tree of the palace at the moment, and when he was full-fledged, he could spread out the big net of search and capture it.

Duan Xing thought of this festival, so he accompanied the third princess Zhao Ling'er to learn to write in the mansion every day, painting and playing the piano, teasing birds and insects, looking at the stars and divination, and at the same time, he was also searching for opportunities to find the whereabouts and clues of his missing colleagues.
