This wine is light and mellow, slightly spicy at the entrance, but there is a hint of sweetness at the base of the tongue, and a faint plum fragrance when it enters the throat. I don't know how the owner brews it. Drinking such a special wine, anyway, the owner of this house knows Lord Yong and not him, and it doesn't matter to him to be ashamed, just open up and drink.

By the time the little boy pouring the wine suddenly woke up, Xu Zizhen and Master Yong had already had a hearty drink, and the six tael jug had been refilled four times.

"You...you..." The little boy who was pouring the wine saw Xu Zizhen and Master Yong winking with great satisfaction, his face turned white with anger and he spoke incoherently.

At this moment, an old voice came over, with a bit of exasperation: "You old man, I knew it was you!"

Xu Zizhen turned his head to look, and saw that it was an old scribe, with a clear face and bright eyes, but his eyes were wide open, and he was looking at Lord Yong angrily.

Master Yong laughed, and said to the old scribe: "Who told you to be a fool, if you let me drink enough at your place, who would want to do such a shameful thing?"

The old scribe said in high spirits: "You know how to be ashamed? I..."

Master Yong raised his hand to interrupt him, and said with a chuckle: "Now you are embarrassing, isn't it just a few pots of wine? I will pay you and pay you! But I will talk about this later, there is a brat here, you need to see him first See you." After speaking, he turned to Xu Zizhen, "Boy, come and see Dean Jiang."

Xu Zizhen had already stood up, and bowed respectfully as he left the table: "I will learn from Xu Zizhen after my late birth, and I have met Dean Jiang."

Dean Jiang waved his hand, and was about to talk to Master Yong, but suddenly he was stunned and turned to stare at Xu Zizhen: "Who do you say you are?"

Xu Zizhen's heart was pounding, but he repeated: "Late birth...Xu Zizhen."

Dean Jiang stared for a full minute, then suddenly slapped the table, and shouted to the boy next to him, "Go to the backyard and get two jars of purple crimson plums."

The little boy left in a hurry, and after a while, he and another boy came over with two big-bellied and narrow-mouthed wine jars, the kind that weighed twenty catties, and they were put on the table panting. Since Mr. Xu likes the wine, please take some back to drink slowly."

Xu Zizhen was stunned. The attitude of this Dean Jiang was quite different. Could it be that he has heard of his name?

Master Yong's eyes widened even more, and he yelled dissatisfiedly: "Hey, what do you mean? How many times I asked you for it and you didn't give it back. The first time you saw this brat, you gave him two altars. You're out of spite." kill me?"

Dean Jiang glanced back at him: "What did Dr. Xu say last time? He told you not to drink more alcohol. Could it be that you really want to go back to the West as soon as possible and ignore me, the Song Dynasty?"

Xu Zizhen was dizzy when he heard this, he understood the relationship between these two people, the iron-like relationship between buddies is gone, but what's going on if they don't care about the world of Song Dynasty?As soon as he looked at Master Yong, he saw that he was winking at Dean Jiang, Xu Zizhen froze when he turned around, his face was a little embarrassed and helpless.

Master Yong glared at Dean Jiang first, and then said: "All right, all right, find a quiet place to talk."

Dean Jiang ignored him, but smiled at Xu Zizhen and said, "Mr. Xu, could you please move on?"

……

Xu Zizhen was confused and followed the elders to the flower garden in the backyard. It was quiet and spacious, and no one disturbed them. The three of them came to a small pavilion and sat down.

Master Yong didn't wait for Xu Zizhen to speak, and said first: "It's alright boy, I know what you want to ask, but it doesn't matter if you know these things, you'd better have a good chat with Dean Jiang first."

Dean Jiang wondered: "Why doesn't Mr. Xu know your identity?"

Master Yong said angrily: "I finally made friends with this silly boy. It's boring to be exposed by you like this... Doesn't he know your identity? I'm afraid he won't bother to talk to me if you tell me. " Having said this, he turned to Xu Zizhen and said, "Boy, do you know where the dean is?"

Xu Zizhen shook his head: "I don't know."

Master Yong smiled and spit out four words: "Yingtian Academy!"

Xu Zizhen had never heard of this name before, so he just nodded blankly: "Oh."

Master Yong smiled and said: "I know you don't study much, Yingtian Academy is Nanjing Guozijian, and it is also the first of the four academies in the Song Dynasty. The so-called highest school in the Song Dynasty is it."

Xu Zizhen was immediately in awe. He knew that an academy was an academy even if he didn't study, and usually had nothing to do with the Imperial Academy, but Yingtian Academy could be upgraded to an Imperial Academy, which shocked him.

Master Yong was very satisfied with his reaction, and continued triumphantly: "Yingtian Academy is the highest institution in Song Dynasty, and the students are naturally divided into grades, so there are divisions into inner and outer courtyards. It is the gathering place for the elite talents of the Great Song Dynasty, do you know the name of the inner courtyard?"

Xu Zizhen suddenly felt blessed, and blurted out: "Xiuwentang?"

Master Yong slapped his hands: "Smart, it is Xiuwen Hall, which is where you will study."

Dean Jiang was still listening to Master Yong's introduction with a smile on his face, but he was stunned when he heard it at the end. He grabbed Master Yong and said, "What are you talking about? What are you studying?"

Master Yong said: "Huh? Don't you know? This kid is going to study at your place soon, and he is going to study in Xiuwentang. This matter was arranged by the second child. Didn't it mention you?"

Dean Jiang was a little dazed, he knew Xu Zizhen, and he knew that Xu Zizhen was from the seventh master, Zhao Gou, but he didn't expect that Xu Zizhen would go to study with him, let alone the second master Yun Wang Zhao Kai who arranged the matter.

Master Yong took the words himself: "Oh yes, you're coming home to celebrate your [-]th birthday, and the second child hasn't had time to find you, but it's coming soon...Silly boy, why are you still standing there? Don't you hurry up to pay respects to old man Jiang?"

Before Xu Zizhen could speak, Dean Jiang came back to his senses, raised his palm and said, "Wait a minute! Are you joking with me, old man? Although I admire Mr. Xu's actions, he is a warrior after all. Entering my Xiuwentang, isn't this a big joke in the world?"

Master Yong rolled his eyes: "It's a pity that you are still a bachelor of Zhaowenguan, so you don't have any eyesight. It's true that Xu Zizhen can fight, but you don't know that this kid is both civil and military. Some things he understands may not even be understood by you and me. He went to Xiuwentang to study, and I was afraid that you would have an unqualified teacher there to teach him."

Dean Jiang didn't believe it: "Really?"

Master Yong's eyes widened again: "If I want to lie to you about this, my daughter won't be able to get married. Tell me if you believe it or not."

Dean Jiang froze, pondered for a moment and looked up at Xu Zizhen: "Since that's the case, no matter whether Prince Yun comes to talk to me about this matter, you old student will be accepted."

Xu Zizhen was still in a daze, but Master Yong had already slapped him on the back of the head: "Why are you still standing there, silly boy? Why don't you ask for a teacher?"

"Oh, student Xu Zizhen, pay homage to my mentor!" Xu Zizhen hesitated for a moment, but still bowed down.

Master Yong laughed softly from behind and said: "Don't be reluctant, you have worshiped this old man as your teacher, at least in recent days no one dared to kill you."

Dean Jiang supported Xu Zizhen, glared at Master Yong and said, "Young Master Xu has you, the King of Kaiping, as a long-term friend. Is there any Xiaoxiao who dares to touch him?"

Xu Zizhen was in a daze, and looked at Master Yong with his mouth gaping: "Kai...King Kaiping?"

.........
