Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 348
Although Huan Chang had a lot of questions and wanted to ask the steward of Anyang Junfu, but seeing the back of the other party leaving, he still didn't open his mouth.

After all, he is new here, if he insists on meeting Mr. Anyang, he will be suspicious.

What's more, Huan Chang used a pseudonym to defect to Lord Anyang, and no one had ever heard of the name Yang Yue. Even if he met Lord Anyang, the other party couldn't possibly care about him.

"It's going to be a long time in the future. I just plan to stay in Song State for a longer period of time. It won't be too late to inquire about it later."

Huan Chang pushed open the door and walked into his own room. Just as he sat down, he heard footsteps coming from outside, and couldn't help but move slightly in his heart.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a rhythmic knock on the door, and Huan Chang straightened his clothes, then went to open the door, and saw a slightly obese man.

"Little brother, did you just move in today?"

Huan Chang looked at this man's clothes, he looked like a businessman instead of a Confucian scholar, and couldn't help but wondered secretly.

"Your Majesty, Yang Yue, has just moved in. May I ask your honorable name?"

The obese man looked kinder, with a smile on his chubby face, so Huan Chang naturally treated him with courtesy.

"In Geru Xian, it's polite here."

Lu Xian was also looking at Huan Chang at this time, and saw that Huan Chang was wearing a blue shirt representing the identity of a Confucian scholar, with a high crown on his head and a sword hanging from his waist.

Even though Huan Chang looked very young, Lu Xian still didn't dare to neglect him in the slightest.

Just as Huan Chang guessed, Lu Xian was just a down-and-out businessman who came to seek refuge with Lord Anyang when he had nowhere to go, where he ate and drank.

Agricultural business.

Although merchants were rich, they didn't have much status in Kyushu, and they couldn't wear green shirts that represented Confucian scholars and silk that only nobles could wear.

Even, the social status of businessmen is not as good as that of farmers and workers.

What's more, Lu Xian is still a down-and-out businessman who has lost all his principal, let alone dare to show off in front of Huan Chang.

"Brother Lu, please come in!"

Huan Chang did not despise Lu Xian because of his status as a businessman, instead he moved away with a smile, and motioned for Lu Xian to enter the room.

Lu Xian showed a hesitant look on his face, but he sneaked a look at Huan Chang's expression and found that the other party was quite sincere, so he finally walked in.

After inviting Lu Xian to his seat, Huan Chang said apologetically, "I just moved here, and I didn't prepare any tea, so I can only be rude."

But Lu Xian waved his hands hastily and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

"Boom boom boom!"

Not long after the two of them sat down, there was another knock on the door. Huan Chang stood up with an apologetic face, and was about to go to open the door.

Lu Xian's complexion was a bit unsightly, and there was a little uneasiness in it.

"Crench."

The door was opened, and there were three people standing at the door. When Huan Chang saw the faces of the two behind him, he was a little surprised.

It turned out that the two middle-aged scribes behind were actually two people Huan Chang met on the street a few days ago.

Huan Chang didn't know the names of these two people, but from their conversation, Huan Chang knew that one of them was surnamed Qi and the other was Tan.

"Did you just move in?"

The leader was very face-to-face, but he behaved quite gracefully, and his eyes wandered over Huan Chang, looking very carefully.

"Exactly."

Seeing that the other party was not very polite, Huan immediately frowned slightly, and did not go forward to salute and greet him.

"Seeing that the elders don't know how to come forward to greet them, the young people are a little too arrogant, right?"

The leader saw Huan Chang's indifference, immediately raised his eyebrows slightly, and his tone was not very kind.

This person originally heard that another Confucian scholar came here today, so he brought the two people he had just recruited to prepare to recruit newcomers.

Although this is the mansion of Lord Anyang, there are also open and secret struggles among the many diners.

Capable people form cliques to form small forces, and then use the talents in the forces to advise Anyang Lord when Anyang Lord is in trouble.

In this way, the leader of the power can better attract the attention of Lord Anyang, and then he will flourish.

Even if I can't make it to the top, if I can make friends with someone who is really capable, and after this person is reused by Lord Anyang, those who make good friends with this person will naturally rise to heaven.

That's why, just after Huan Chang entered the backyard, this person brought Qi and Tan to visit.

But as the saying goes: If you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things well.

Moreover, the Confucian gown on Huan Chang's body was obviously not made just now, so it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

After all, it is not uncommon for many people to spend property to temporarily make Confucian scholar gowns in order to enter the Anyang Palace, and then pretend to be Confucian scholars.

Even though Anyang Jun's disciples form cliques with each other, not everyone is qualified to join. For example, Lu Xian, who was born as a businessman, was squeezed out by many small forces, and he would not have the power to accept this person.

After all, Kyushu is a society with strict hierarchy. If it were changed to before, a businessman like Lu Xian would not even be eligible to enter the mansion of Lord Anyang.

Although the merchants are qualified to come in now, they are the lowest among the many diners, and even those sneaky people have a much higher status than Lu Xian.

But seeing that Huan Chang was too young, coupled with the brand-new Confucian blue shirt, this person felt that Huan Chang came to Anyang Jun's mansion to eat and drink.

In this way, the person's sense of Huanchang will naturally drop a lot.

"There are still guests in the next house. If you have nothing else to do, I will go back to entertain the distinguished guests."

Huan Chang ignored the man's sarcasm and directly issued an order to expel the guest.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said with a smile: "I don't know who is a guest at your house, so let me meet, maybe we still know each other."

"Yang, Brother Yang..."

Huan Chang wanted to say something, when he suddenly felt that Lu Xian was pulling his lapel, and kept winking.

"Hmph, I thought it was some distinguished guest, but I didn't expect it to be this merchant who smells like money."

"Birds of a feather flock together."

"You mix with this person, even if you want to ask me to go in, I will not be with you."

The leading Confucian scholar's eyes were full of contempt, he shook his sleeves and turned around to leave.

"Scholars of my generation should pay attention to benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness."

"The so-called benevolence, the big one is for the country and the people, with the world in mind; the small one is thrifty to cultivate one's morality, and lenient to others."

"The so-called etiquette, being friendly to others is etiquette, being humble and studious is etiquette, and being kind to others is also etiquette."

"I see that although Your Excellency is wearing a green shirt, his behavior is extremely arrogant and lofty. How can he have the mind and humility of a scholar?"

"I heard that many people put on Confucian scholar's gowns, and then transformed themselves into scribes and ate and drank in Anyang Junfu. Could it be Your Excellency?"

Huan Chang had a look of surprise on his face, but there was sarcasm hidden in his eyes.
