Chapter 205: The Three Great Sages
As soon as the door opened, a young man who saw the beauty smiled at the wild man.
"Is Su Zi from Su Zi living here?"
Seeing that there was no one behind him, only an ox cart parked not far away, Yedaoren nodded: "Yes, what is the matter with my little brother looking for my master?"
The thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy listened to this and breathed a sigh of relief: "I was sent by Xie Fu, and I heard that Su Gongzi has made meritorious contributions in the southwest, so I will give you a small gift to congratulate Su Gongzi, please be sure to convey it." β
"Fengyun, who is coming?" Just as the wild Daoist was about to ask again, there were footsteps behind him, and Su Ziji came out and asked.
"It's Xie Fu who came to congratulate you and give you gifts. The wild man said.
Su Ziji hesitated: "Xie Fu?"
The wild Taoist understood: "You don't know?"
Su Ziji shook his head.
The wild man turned to look at the boy.
The young man explained unhurriedly: "Although I don't know each other, my master has always admired the young talent, and even more admires Su Gongzi for going to the southwest and making military achievements." β
Southwest ?Xie?
The wild Dao man thought for a while, and his mind flashed, and he looked at the young man, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that little brother, you are from Zhennanbo?"
The young man replied with a smile: "Yes, the master of my family is from Zhennan Mansion." β
Seeing that Su Ziji was about to refuse, Shao Xian explained: "It's really just a small gift, don't be busy refusing first, wait for me to get it, you will know at a glance." β
As he spoke, he turned around and headed towards the ox cart.
Su Ziji and Yedaoren glanced at each other, but because they didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd, they didn't stop them.
When it comes to Xie Mansion, Su Ziji really didn't react, there are many people surnamed Xie in the capital, and there is more than one Lord Xie in the court alone, but when it comes to Zhen'an Mansion, Su Ziji immediately figured out the connection.
It's not surprising that the wild people immediately guessed that it was this one, speaking of which, Zhennan Bofu and the southwest do have a lot of origins.
At that time, the head of the Xie family was born in the southwest, followed Taizu to raise troops, once pacified the southwest when he was young, and later became an earl, and the situation in the southwest, Zhennan Bofu may not be untouched, but this generation of family heads has not been qualified to lead the army to quell the chaos.
And Su Ziji went to the southwest as an attachΓ© and made meritorious contributions, and now Zhennanbo heard that the southwest has been flattened, and he sent someone to give gifts, which is not for no reason.
But Su Ziji just felt that there might not be no other reason for this, and when he was thinking about it, the young man had already walked over again with a small wooden box.
"Su Gongzi, there are a few books inside, my master said, it is not a valuable thing, I just think, Su Gongzi, you have both civil and military skills, so that the books are given to Gongzi, just like a sword to a hero, it is not a disappointing them, please do not refuse." β
As he spoke, he handed the wooden box with both hands.
The wild Dao people wanted to take it first, but they were stopped by Su Ziji with a subconscious look.
Su Ziji took it with both hands, and gently pressed the metal mechanism, snapped, and the wooden box opened, revealing the contents inside.
Inside the box were several books, which looked very old, even if it could be seen that the owner had tried his best to preserve them, but the smell of old books was still overflowing from the inside as the box was opened.
After just one glance, Su Ziji's heart moved, this is a manual that can be learned - I really fell asleep and met the pillow, and I was thinking about collecting some ancient books, but someone actually sent the ancient books?
His eyes fell on the indigo cover of the top volume, and he was stunned for a moment.
"Hairpin Anthology?"
Su Ziji hurriedly opened this volume carefully, and sure enough, what caught his eye was the very familiar words of Meng Zhongqing, the great sage of the previous dynasty.
As one of the three sages of the previous dynasty, even in this dynasty, there are often imitation writing notes of Meng Zhongqing in the county schools for students to practice.
Su Ziji's handwriting of this great sage can be regarded as knowing it at first sight.
And the antiquity of this book, could it be that it is genuine?
Su Ziji was shocked, and hurriedly and carefully flipped through the following four volumes, except for the two volumes of the "Hairpin Flower Anthology", there are also two anthologies among the three sages.
Xu Shaoliang's "Listening to the Sea" and Zhang Zhongyong's "Baixi Anthology" are in the first volume.
The three sages of the previous dynasty did not fall behind, and only the second volume of Zhang Zhongyong's "Baixi Anthology" was missing, but this has little to do with it.
Absorbing literary thinking, in fact, is the talent of the parties in writing, with one view of ten, one volume can get the essence of Zhang Zhongyong, missing the next volume has a loss, but it is not big.
The young man just looked at it like this, until Su Ziji carefully closed the box and looked at him, then he explained apologetically: "By the way, Su Gongzi, my master said that these three sets of anthologies are missing a volume of Zhang Zhongyong Daxian's "Baixi Anthology". β
"The gift is precious. Su Ziji said with a sigh.
Although I like it very much, and these five volumes are indeed not expensive for people who don't know the goods, but on the other hand, they can be said to be priceless, even if there is one less volume, let the reader know, I am afraid that some people are willing to ask for thousands of gold.
He didn't know anyone from Xie Mansion, even if he had been to the southwest and made meritorious contributions there, he might have received such a heavy gift from Zhennan Bofu, and he still had hot hands.
But this is indeed very valuable to me, and I am reluctant to do so for a while.
The young man smiled: "For you, it is naturally precious, but my master said that Xie Mansion is a group of rough men, so the books that are precious to the reader are buried if they are left." β
"You, just take it, if I take it back, I'm afraid it will be stacked in the library again, and I don't know when it can be turned out!"
looked like a servant, but this person spoke really well, and Su Ziji couldn't help but look at it twice.
Lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "Since this is the case, I will be disrespectful, please thank your master for me, if there is time, I will come to thank you." I don't know, he's an uncle?"
The young man smiled and said: "This, it's not good to tell your son, but you don't have to come to thank you, my master will not stay in Beijing for a long time." β
When the wild Taoist heard this, he suddenly said, "Little brother, you have run this trip, but do you want to go in and sit down and drink a cup of hot tea?"
The young man smiled and declined: "No, my master is anxious to wait for me to go back and reply, since Su Gongzi's errand here is completed, I will retire first." β
As he spoke, he turned around and walked away.
Su Ziji watched him get into the carriage all the time, and then he and the wild people turned around and entered the courtyard, and the door was closed.
"This Xie Mansion is also going to trouble you to check it out. Su Ziji's expression was retracted, and he said to the wild Taoist, his expression was a little dark.
Suddenly giving such a big gift, even if the young man behaved neatly and harmlessly, Su Ziji was also vigilant.
After all, his identity, whether it is the real one or the fake one, once it is exposed, it will be a thunderbolt.
Although Zhennan Bofu is considered a noble military general, there may not be no scholars in the clan, and the young man's statement is not credible.
And its owner has always refused to reveal his true identity, whether it is a person from Xie Mansion or not, it is not certain.
