Sun Chengde's response was not slow, and he soon came to the small courtyard again.

The news brought over, in addition to the promise of the thirty percent profit, there was also the news that Fan Lao invited him to play chess in the academy.

It's getting late, and the academy has already been closed these days.

Although I don't know what Fan Lao is going to do, Xu Hanliang still went.

Since the last goodbye, Xu Hanliang has not seen Fan Lao for a few days.

For the little old man who loves to break defenses, Xu Han still misses a little bit in his conscience.

After saying a word to Zhiniang, Xu Hanliang came to the academy.

In the academy, the bamboo forest is forested, and under this snow, the grass is withering.

But you can also see that there are some spring buds that have emerged to welcome the arrival of spring.

The street outside the academy is also full of various stalls.

On weekdays, the street in front of the academy is very quiet.

First, these hawkers were worried that the sound of selling would disturb the talents in the academy.

Second, Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, and many wanderers, officials, and businessmen have returned to Changshu, and the demand for goods has naturally increased.

In this era, what is still thought of is that wealth does not return to the hometown, such as walking at night with brocade clothes.

It is still different from Xu Hanliang's era, after entering the big city, I wish I could take off the small-town atmosphere on my body.

"Little friend, here."

After Fan Lao saw Xu Hanliang's figure, he chuckled.

Xu Hanliang is clear about Fan Lao's habits of meeting little friends and traitors behind him.

"I haven't seen Fan Lao for a few days, and Fan Lao has not lost his demeanor."

Xu Hanliang smiled and agreed.

But Xu Hanliang also found that there was an old man next to Fan Lao.

is the same as Fan Lao, the aura on this old man's body is also different from that of ordinary elders.

Although Xu Hanliang was curious, he didn't ask too much.

It's not good to take the initiative to ask about some things, but Xu Hanliang is not in a hurry.

"I heard that yesterday, you went to see your father?"

As soon as Xu Hanliang sat down, Fan Lao had already opened his mouth.

Xu Hanliang nodded: "After all, it has reached the end of the year, so naturally I want to go to see my father." ”

"You are much more successful than your unscrupulous father, and your future is limitless."

Fan Lao sighed casually.

In the past, when Fan Lao played chess with himself, he would only talk about things in the chess game, but today it seems that he deliberately diverted the topic.

"Where, now it's just a show of fame, shame on the ancestors."

As he spoke, Xu Hanliang rolled up his sleeves, took out a chess piece from the chess box, and placed it on the chessboard.

"In a month's time, it's autumn, you can try it."

Fan Lao nodded and continued.

"What?" Xu Hanliang was a little puzzled, and even thought that Fan Lao was old and talking nonsense.

"Your Majesty ascended the throne this year, so Enke was specially opened, and in a month it will be the Enke Township Test, you can try it."

The old man on the side glanced at Xu Hanliang and replied with a smile.

"Really?"

Xu Hanliang's face was happy.

After all, the township test is held every three years, and now there are still two years left before the township test.

If you open Enko, it will save a lot of time.

"Look at you, you're confident, huh?"

Fan Lao looked at Xu Hanliang and asked with a smile.

Xu Hanliang was not modest: "Isn't this thinking about taking off the Xiucai hat on his head earlier?" Replace it with a lifting hat to wear, and then slowly wear the Jinshi hat in the future. ”

When the two old men heard Xu Hanliang's words, they looked at each other and smiled.

"That Jinshi among Su Laoquan's seventy talents, you are a little too big, although you have some small talents, but your heart is not too high."

Fan Lao immediately taught Xu Hanliang a lesson with a serious expression.

"I'm just going to have fun and make fun of your two elders."

Xu Hanliang smiled and said casually.

"Do you know who I am?"

The old man on the side looked at Xu Hanliang and asked.

"If you guessed correctly, it should be the owner of the Red Mansion, otherwise Sun Chengde wouldn't have told me the news."

Xu Hanliang replied without pause.

"Then do you know why I came to you this time?"

The old man's eyes showed a hint of appreciation.

Xu Hanliang shook his head: "Anyway, it's not for MSG, and it's not for chess." ”

The old man nodded: "Smart is smart, I came for your words, my ancestors are not enough." ”

"What's wrong with that?" Xu Hanliang was a little puzzled: "Isn't this Mr. Jiefu's words?" ”

"These words will not be said in the future, especially in the future imperial examinations."

Fan Lao interjected a sentence next to him, and the tone he used seemed to be teaching the juniors.

Regarding Wang Anshi's change, Xu Hanliang, as a high school teacher, is naturally ripe with a rolling melon.

also knew that after Wang Anshi died, the court cleared him.

The officials of the entire Great Song Dynasty regarded Xu Hanliang as a thorn in the flesh, and even in the Southern Song Dynasty, countless people criticized him.

"I don't have any negative comments about Mr. Jiefu, but I feel that if there was no Mr. Jiefu, Da Song would not have lived for so long."

"Mr. Jiefu's measures have won several tough battles for my Great Song Dynasty before, but he was silenced by the imperial court, if he continues to go against the New Deal, within twenty years, the Great Song Kingdom will not be a country."

Xu Hanliang was playing chess and talking.

It's a clean talk, so Xu Hanliang is not too obscure.

But when these words heard the ears of the second elder, they were instantly speechless.

It's not that what Xu Hanliang said is reasonable, but how bold Xu Hanliang is.

Saying such things without knowing the identities of the two of them, fortunately this is Da Song, otherwise he would have to enlighten the dragon field in the heavenly prison for at least a few years.

"You think so much of the New Deal?"

Fan Lao did not answer Xu Hanliang's opinion, but thought that he was too young.

"It's not, just like Cai Jing's new deal, I don't respect it at all."

Xu Hanliang shook his head and said.

Cai Jing himself is making money from scratch with the help of changing the law, and Xu Hanliang is naturally impossible to admire.

When the two of them heard these words, their expressions were actually very strange.

Xu Hanliang's words are very straightforward, and they make people feel very uncomfortable.

The two always felt that Xu Hanliang's straightforward way of speaking seemed to have been seen somewhere.

Even if it is a speech official, it is estimated that he will not speak in such a straightforward way.

Otherwise, they would have been caught by the emperor and clicked together.

"Your father's affairs have something to do with Cai Jing, but it's not because of that painting."

Fan Lao glanced at Xu Hanliang, which had some ideas to change the topic.

"I know, it's just a painting, it's impossible for him to be escorted into Beijing, as for what reason, I want to ask, can you say?"

Xu Hanliang looked at Fan Lao and asked with a smile.

When the two heard this, they smiled bitterly, but they didn't expect to be brought in by Xu Hanliang.

Fan Lao's eyes rolled, and he immediately spoke: "If you can make a move, then I can reveal a little bit about it to you." ”
