Chapter 222: You and I Are Both Surnamed Xun (II)
In a study on the top floor of the middle pavilion of Xunmen, Xun Wuyi was staring at the letters on the table in front of him, bowing his head and pondering.
There was a soft knock on the door of the room, and only one disciple was heard whispering outside the door, "Master, someone is asking to see you." ”
"Who?" Xun asked unintentionally.
"It's Tan Hu, who passed the first hurdle when he was recruiting relatives that day, Tan Gongzi. ”
"Oh?"
Xun had no intention of putting down the pen and paper in his hand, brushing the beard on his chin, and his face was happy: "Please let him in." ”
The disciple who came to report arched his hand, and was about to leave when he heard a noise in the room, and then a voice came: "Wait, this seat will go in person." ”
When the disciple heard this, a strange color appeared on his face. He had heard that the head of the family was going to recruit the person surnamed Tan to enter the Xun Gate, and this time the kid came, and the head actually came out to greet him in person, which can be seen.
It's just that......
The disciple's eyes rolled, but he remembered that Xun Yuning, the son of the head of the family, had coveted the eldest lady for a long time, and although the head hated his son's incompetence on the surface, he was still extremely concerned about this marriage. After all, the founder of Xunmen is Xun Wuya, and the successor should also be Xun Yuzhan, but anyone with a discerning eye can see who has the final say in Xunmen today, as long as this marriage is promoted, the benefits are naturally self-evident, at least it can be mixed with a legitimate reputation. Even if it was a martial arts competition to recruit relatives that day, it was Wei Lao who promised that he would not let people pass the second level, and the head of the house reluctantly agreed.
Now the head of the family is so enthusiastic about Tan Hu, who has passed the first level, and I don't know what he has decided?
Is it expected that the eldest lady will not look down on Tan Hu, or will she pay more attention to the Great Autumn Meeting, or will she ......
As soon as the disciple thought of this, he was frightened, and he hurriedly shook his head, secretly saying that he should not think too much.
Xun Yiyi also happened to step out of the door at this time, and the disciple hurriedly bowed down and led the head downstairs.
As soon as I entered the atrium, I saw a clear white shadow standing here, the fluttering clothes fluttering in the wind, with the petals blowing down in the courtyard, as if they were all together, and for a moment people had the illusion of falling paintings.
"Little Brother Tan, how are you thinking about it?"
When Xun unintentionally saw this scene, he was slightly stunned at first, squinted his eyes, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart. Fortunately, he quickly came back to his senses, put on a gentle smile and greeted him.
"Master Xun. Mo Jun did not show any waves in the face of the fact that the head of the dignified Xunmen personally greeted a junior, but just said hello lightly and responded.
Then he straightened up and smiled: "The head of the family also knows that the younger generation is just a mountain and a wild villager, a fledgling hairy boy, who has never seen much of the world, and he doesn't know much about the rumors in the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't understand the world. ”
Xun frowned when he heard this, thinking that he was going to refuse the solicitation, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and said with relief: "The little brother is too modest, but I think that the little brother is talented and talented, and he will definitely be a great man in the future!"
"Master Xun praises falsely, and the younger generation is ashamed. "Mo Jun is another bow, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Recently, the juniors went to Yunxian Pavilion to take a turn, but in addition to being dazzled by the lights in the pavilion and sighing at the size of the rivers and lakes, they also learned a lot of things. Therefore, I am more interested in the big autumn meeting. ”
"Oh?" Xun raised his eyebrows unintentionally, and the uneasiness of Fang Cai was swept away, and he motioned for him to continue.
Mo Jun paused for a moment, put his hand into his fist and coughed to his mouth, and there was a bit of apprehension in his tone: "The head of Xun is very loving, and the younger generation is willing to enter Xunmen, but ...... There is one condition for the juniors. ”
Xun unintentionally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
What he was most worried about was undoubtedly that the kid surnamed Tan was unwilling to enter Xunmen, and now that he heard that the other party had agreed, he was naturally full of joy. As for what conditions...... Xun unintentionally laughed in his heart, secretly thinking that it was nothing more than some money, status and other requirements, human nature, not incomprehensible; at most, it was just a request to marry Xun Wushuang, if this was the case, it would really make him a little embarrassed, but he would never agree to it.
For the sake of the Great Autumn Meeting, as long as he has one more chance of winning, he will not hesitate too much even if he pays the price of seven points.
So Xun unintentionally spoke: "It's okay, it's just human nature, although the little brother entered my Xun Gate out of his own thoughts, but in any case, it can be regarded as a great favor for this seat." Therefore, if there is any request, even if it is mentioned, don't say one condition, even if it is ten, as long as this seat can do it, it will never frown. ”
A hint of cunning flashed in Mo Jun's eyes, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing his white teeth, and said with a smile: "Master Xun is serious, in fact, this condition is very simple. ”
"Didn't each sect ask for five disciples at the Great Autumn Meeting, the head of Xun has already set three people, counting the juniors, that is four people, and this fifth person ...... The younger generation has a candidate. ”
"Who?"
Xun frowned unintentionally.
The choice of this fifth person has actually been decided, and that is his son Xun Yuning. It's just that Xun Yuning's strength is not enough to win this position now, but at this time, there is still nearly a month before the Great Autumn Meeting, and with his talent, it is not difficult to catch up, so the fifth candidate has not been announced for a long time.
And most of the disciples in the door also guessed the mind of the master, although it is not good to let the water out of the water to make the head of the house lose face, but they will not want to fight too much.
In the eyes of the disciples, the five people who participated in the Great Autumn Meeting were heroes if they won the championship, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would not provoke white eyes and criticism if they failed, and even the elders of the sect might not be able to make things difficult for people secretly. After all, most of them are just ordinary people and ordinary scholars, unlike the other four who are either in the background or alone and don't care about this, in case they really bear any crime, they can't afford it.
Let's not talk about whether the rest of the sects will kill some dark horses, just talking about Liang Xingkong Wen that day, it is definitely not something that the disciples in the Xunmen can deal with, and the only way to win is to exhaust their strength in the wheel war. However, Qingfeng Pavilion also has five disciples!
So after the Xunmen disciples figured it out, they waved their hands and shook their heads again and again, this fifth person is still the one who falls in love with whom.
"Who does the little brother want to recommend?" Xun Yiyi's face was cloudy for a while, and after thinking for a moment, he still asked out loud.
He has already made a plan, no matter who Tan Hu recommends, he will secretly communicate with that person, and it won't be long before that person will take the initiative to give up, and no one will have anything to say at that time.
Xun unintentionally laughed in his heart.
Mo Jun's smile became brighter and brighter, and he bowed his hand for the third time, and said solemnly: "The condition of the junior is that he wants to participate in the big autumn event with the eldest prince!"
The eldest prince......
Xun Yuzhan?
Xun's unintentional expression froze on his face, the corners of his mouth twitched, and there was a gloom between his eyebrows.
What is the relationship between this kid and that kid?
He was secretly worried in his heart, showing hesitation on the surface, and after pretending to struggle, he said with a smile: "This ...... Little brother, you should also know that Yu Zhan is cultivating Wendao, and he is just a pure literati, he does not practice martial arts, and he is not good at martial arts. ”
"The juniors do know. Mo Jun nodded repeatedly.
"That'...... Wouldn't it hurt you to let Yu Zhan go to the Great Autumn Meeting?" Xun had no intention of taking a deep breath and patiently explained: "You must know that the rivers and lakes have always advocated martial arts, although my Xunmen has a dual cultivation of civil and military affairs, but most of the disciples in the sect also attach importance to martial arts, and the way of literature and Taoism is just an anecdote and allusion to reading and writing, which is different from the court and literature that Yu Zhan walked. Let him go to the Great Autumn Meeting, once he takes the stage, how can he be the opponent of the disciples carefully selected by the rest of the sects? At that time, he will make a big appearance, arouse people's ridicule, and waste a place in vain. ”
Mo Jun continued to nod and said, "Oh, this point, the younger generation naturally understands." ”
Xun was puzzled: "Then why ......?"
"It's simple. Mo Jun looked relaxed and said with a smile: "When the younger generation came to Yingzhou earlier, he had some friendship with the eldest prince, and now he sees that he is just sitting and reading books all day long in Xunmen, and his face is full of sadness, so he wants to participate in the Great Autumn Party with him to show his friendship." ”
"But this can't be regarded as a child's play!" Xun had no intention of showing anxiety, and for the time being, he didn't want to investigate whether this was true or false, and continued: "Little brother, you should know that this time Xunmen participated in the Great Autumn Meeting, which was to win the championship and go to the position of the leader of the alliance, but it was not a trick to play with love, you must know that in this river and lake, in this battlefield, the word love and righteousness can not be regarded as the master, and it is still the sword in the hand!"
"Of course. Mo Jun's smile did not decrease, and he looked light: "But the head of Xun, this is the condition of the juniors, and the head of the house only needs to consider whether he agrees or not." Nodding, I and the eldest prince are like this, shaking his head, the junior can only regret leaving, and the head of the family will find someone else. The rivers and lakes are big, there are many capable people, and there will naturally be no shortage of young talents. ”
"You ......" Xun said angrily: "Little brother, the Great Autumn Festival is really not child's play!"
Mo Jun refused to back down at all, only heard him say this: "So I will promise the head of the sect." ”
"What?"
"If I enter the Great Autumn Meeting, the eldest prince will just go through the motions and will not have to take the stage in person, and the younger generation will also promise the head that he will definitely help the head of the family to win the position of the leader of the alliance!"
These words were sonorous and powerful, and the bluffing Xun was stunned without intention.
Then, he struggled and hesitated for a long time, as if he had made some great determination, and asked tentatively: "Little brother, I will say it again, this is not child's play." ”
Mo Jun nodded and said no more.
"Can you really guarantee it?" Xun said unintentionally.
Mo Jun raised his head and chest, as if he was angry in the sky.
Xun Wuyi said with a gloomy face: "If you break your promise, you should know the consequences." ”
Mo Jun laughed and said, "You and I are both from Xunmen, how can we break our promises?"
