Chapter 186 But that's it
"Mr. Gongsun! Mr. Gongsun!"

As soon as Gongsun Jing returned to the mansion, he heard a burst of excited shouts behind him.

He stopped and turned around, and saw Zhang Dazhi running over excitedly, "Mr. Gongsun! Where's Brother Xia!"

Gongsun Jing, who is full of expectations: .
"Young master should be in the mansion, Zhang Shaojian is looking for him?"

"Yes! Can you please find someone to pass it on to me?"

"It's easy to talk, easy to talk. Come, Zhang Shaojian, here's some tea."

After sitting in the main hall for a while, Xia Jingyun came out yawning.

Zhang Dazhi immediately stepped forward excitedly, and couldn't help admiring again and again, "Brother Xia, you are so amazing! You are simply amazing!"

Xia Jingyun hummed calmly, "Eunuch Gao, have you sent a message to the supervisor?"

Zhang Dazhi was taken aback, "How do you know?"

Xia Jingyun smiled and took a sip of tea, "Otherwise, how do you think this happened today?"

Although Gongsun Jing didn't know what the two were talking about, he still dutifully explained, "Young master entered the palace early in the morning and came back at noon."

Zhang Dazhi suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Eunuch Gao told me in private that from now on, you will be the only one in Liuli Division to serve you alone."

Xia Jingyun was not surprised, "Where's the glass?"

"Don't worry, I still understand this." Zhang Dazhi said with a smile: "At that time, I had someone put all the warehouse glass into a separate warehouse, and changed new locks and sealed it. Although they can't guard against those who are interested, they have to weigh the consequences of offending the imperial power."

He giggled, "Brother, you don't know, that Cao Deli's face was almost dark at that time, I think he may not be thinking about it this year!"

"He deserves it all."

Xia Jingyun nodded and smiled, thinking subconsciously whether he should take this opportunity to dig a hole for some people who want to trip him up, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it, and said, "If that's the case, then I'll trouble my brother to send me ten pieces of glass tomorrow. Then keep an eye on the rest of the stock."

"I'm sorry, they wanted to take this glass card to us before, but now it's us who hold this glass card to them!"

Xia Jingyun smiled and hummed, "I'll tell you the truth, do this job well, and you don't need to worry about other things in the prison. You will have a share in the future, and I won't give it to you."

After speaking, he pointed to the sky.

Zhang Dazhi's heart suddenly became hot, and he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, brother, I know how I got this blessing, I have nothing else to do with my old Zhang, my character is absolutely reliable."

Xia Jingyun nodded knowingly, stood up and cupped his hands, "Okay, nothing else. Have a good New Year! I'll excuse you first."

Looking at Xia Jingyun's back, Zhang Dazhi felt sincerely, "Brother Xia is amazing, so amazing."

Gongsun Jing twitched the corners of his mouth, "It's broad daylight, and they're already yawning. Be restrained!"

"It's okay, you're still young, and you're recovering quickly."

"Yes, still young."

Xia Jingyun didn't know what the two of them were talking about. If he knew that he must yell for Feng Xiuyun, he would also yell for himself.

Last night, he had thought about following the ups and downs and gentle curves of the mountains and rivers, letting Ma Ai's Zhongyuan Ai's Xifeng and Dongluan, but this is not the way to break the situation!

For today's dangerous move, he played with Su Yuanshang who was drunk until midnight last night, and finally slept in the study, where he had time to watch the moon and taste cherries.

Even if he went back now, he didn't have the heart to think about those things. He just called Su Yuanshang and Feng Xiuyun together and discussed some follow-up matters.

When he had finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Feng Xiuyun, "Did sister encounter any troubles recently?"

Feng Xiuyun frowned and thought about it, Xia Jingyun added: "It's about the education of the pig."

Feng Xiuyun's complexion changed slightly, and she immediately shook her head.

"That should be my overthinking."

Xia Jingyun hummed, probably because of her mother's normal baby anxiety.

He put away the ink-stained paper, "Let's just say this for the time being. In the evening, Mr. Bai and I will have a banquet with the old professor of the Imperial College who presided over the competition with Guangling Prefecture that day. I think he will come back later."

Feng Xiuyun and Su Yuanshang had no objection.

Of the two of them, one had to sort out the entire Jiang'anhou Mansion with higher standards and requirements, and the other was assisting with this matter, while thinking about the future direction of Xia Jingyun and the entire Defei faction, they were both very busy.

When it arrived at Shen Shi, Xia Jingyun and Bai Yunbian walked towards the east city together with their guards, and the carriage followed behind them empty.

Coming out of the warm room, being blown by the bitter east wind, Bai Yunbian, who was shivering from the cold, asked puzzledly, "Why don't you take a carriage?"

Xia Jingyun smiled and said: "People like you who have been in the earth dragon warm room for a long time should come out to get a good breath and exercise."

Bai Yunbian looked disbelieving, and pursed his lips, "You just want to show off your self-righteous appearance and demeanor in front of the residents and passers-by in Zhongjing City."

Xia Jingyun stopped in his tracks, looked him up and down, and said, "Can I ask you a question?"

Bai Yunbian nodded proudly.

"If you were a resident of this street, and you were at home and saw two young masters passing by, one was very handsome and handsome, and the other was also handsome and personable, and the two talked well and had a good time, would you think of them?"

Bai Yunbian said lightly: "That's all."

Xia Jingyun:.
Absolutely!

He said speechlessly: "Sometimes I really want to knock your head open to see what's inside your head!"

"You don't need to be curious, you don't need to imitate, and you don't need to try to catch up. That is the strength that belongs to the protagonist alone, and it is different from you."

Xia Jingyun twitched the corners of his mouth and patted his shoulder, "Let's go, eat more."

Not long after, everyone came to an ordinary house in Dongcheng, Xia Jingyun went to hand over the name card, and soon the old professor from the Imperial College came out.

After seeing the ceremony, Xia Jingyun invited the old professor into the carriage, and everyone sat in the carriage and went to Mingyu Tower.

In front of Mingyu Tower, the welcome boy came up to ask if there was an appointment, Xia Jingyun hummed, and then handed over the jade plaque.

When the other party saw it, they immediately elevated their already solemn and polite attitude, and welcomed everyone in with great hospitality.

In the best box on the third floor, the old professor watched the scenery outside the window and listened to Wen Yu whispering in the wind by the window. He twisted his beard and chuckled happily, "I am a rotten scholar, only a few sores in my chest, and I rarely visit the third floor of Mingyu Building."

Xia Jingyun smiled and said: "Sir, what you said is wrong. A few taels of silver can only be eaten by one person, and one person's happiness can be gained by one person, but benevolence, righteousness and morality can become the teacher of thousands of people. How can it be the same to secure the order of the world."

The old professor smiled and said, "Your mouth is indeed extraordinary! I almost believed it."

Xia Jingyun said seriously: "The younger generation really thinks so. At the same time, the younger generation also thinks that there is no need to criticize the great Confucian scholars for living in peace and happiness, not being tainted with money, and making themselves and their families better within their ability and reasonable and legal limits. This is the pursuit that everyone should have, and it is also the right that everyone should have."

The old professor was silent for a moment, looked at Xia Jingyun with emotion, "It's a pity that people in the world don't see it that way, even scholars like us, it's hard to be upright. Once your mind is skewed, learning and scholarly prestige are used as a means to earn money and gain power, and you get stuck in it, how can you have the mind to study? Today alone, there are many such people! So, it's better to put your mind to it and read it."

Xia Jingyun nodded, thinking of those great Confucian scholars in Sishui Prefecture that he had seen, they had lost their hearts long ago, as the old professor said, "Mr.

"Okay, stop flattering me."

The old professor laughed, "I saw your strategizing ability in the Guangling Guild Hall that day, and I don't believe that you can't think of this with your wisdom."

Xia Jingyun smiled slightly, and did not deny it, and then chatted with the old man and Bai Yunbian about some interesting things about scholars over the delicious food and wine served like flowing water.

After talking for a while, the old professor looked at Xia Jingyun, who was very respectful, and said with a smile: "I remember that you and the imperial concubine are sworn siblings?"

Xia Jingyun hummed, "Thanks to your empress for giving me the opportunity to climb the dragon and become the phoenix."

The old professor looked him up and down, "If the Concubine De concubine sent you there, maybe the situation would be different."

???

Both Xia Jingyun and Bai Yunbian showed doubts on their faces, Xia Jingyun asked directly: "What do you mean by this, sir?"

"You still don't know?"

The old professor was also a little surprised, and immediately smiled, "That's right, this matter is only rumored among scholars, and it's normal for outsiders not to know about it."

Seeing that the two were too curious to sit still, he smiled and said: "Ms. De Concubine, she wanted to invite some teachers for her prince, so she set her plan on the three famous Confucian scholars in our Zhongjing City. Who knew that she sent people three times to ask for it, but they were all rejected without even seeing the three of them. This matter gradually spread, and now there are quite a few people who know about it."

Xia Jingyun's eyes widened, and his mind suddenly understood, and he finally understood where the worry between sister's brows came from in Changle Palace this morning.
