Yipin Tang

Chapter 205
Wang Xiang knew that people like Takatayan were definitely not so easy to fool. Since he "accidentally" mentioned the Wan Guo Academy, this shrewd Turkic old man didn't have much reaction.

Although Princess Danqier possesses stability beyond her actual age, she is still far behind his teacher, and she has shown great interest in Wanguo Academy from the very beginning.

Hearing Takatayan's question, Wang Xiang smiled and said: "Actually, His Majesty means to help some weak foreign countries become prosperous and prosperous through the Wan Guo Academy, so the number of admissions is limited."

Takatayang opened his mouth and smiled, showing a mouthful of white and neat teeth: "I wonder how many places are there?"

"Well, the first batch of admission places is only ten."

"The first batch? Could it be that there will be a second or third batch in the future?"

Wang Xiang thought to himself: It really is an old fox.

"That's not certain, it depends on His Majesty's intentions. The reason why we say the first batch is because there are too many foreigners who want to apply for admission places in the Wan Guo Academy, so that they can temporarily feel at ease."

He didn't explain it clearly, he just wanted to make the other party feel that this was a quota for admission and it was probably the only one, and if he missed it, he might never have another chance.

"However, even if you can't enter the Wan Guo Academy to study, you can still buy the books used in the Wan Guo Academy. Your Majesty said that foreigners are allowed to bring these books back to their own country to spread and study."

Takatayan bowed his head and praised: "The Emperor of Tang Dynasty is benevolent." At this time, Li Er was not the Tian Khan who made all the countries surrender.

Since the pre-Qin period, all dynasties in the Central Plains have never prevented foreigners from learning their own cultural knowledge, but it is the first time to set up a school of all nations for foreigners to learn like this, so Takatayan does not believe that the emperor of Datang will be so kind.

In any case, the current atmosphere of the food is quite harmonious. When they left, Wang Xiang also "kindly" reminded them that they could go to the consultation point of the Wan Guo Academy for detailed consultation.

In the past, the Turks have always been arrogant and arrogant because of their strong soldiers and horses, and never put other countries in their eyes. In their view, the Turkic cavalry can crush everything.It is indeed difficult to have an opponent in a frontal battle against the Turkic cavalry. However, in a battle a few months ago, Datang only relied on 8 people to kill 30 Turkic cavalry. The casualties of the Datang army were almost negligible. Realizing that they know too little about Datang, a weapon like Tianleizi is beyond their imagination.

On the surface, the Turkic mission was headed by Tulu, but in fact Takatayan was the real core, otherwise Tulu's temper could not help but get mad when he was in Yanpingmen.

Of course, Wang Xiang never thought that this old man was the core figure of the Turkic Mission.

It was getting late after coming out of Dengxian Tower, Ba Tuo and Dan Qier went to the place arranged by Honglu Temple to rest, Wang Xiang took Tie Dan to the hot spring house before returning to Hou Mansion.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the Hou's Mansion, I saw a lot of busyness inside and outside the mansion. Four red lanterns were hung under the eaves of the gate of the Hou's Mansion. Although it was dark, the door was still brightly lit. Steward Wang was wearing a black hat The old hat stood at the door directing Dazhu and Erzhu to move things inside, while Laifu and Xiaoya helped to count.

"This box is full of jade, be careful, don't bump into it, move it to the wife's place to register first, and then move to the warehouse. Aunt Lin is preparing supper for everyone, and you can have a good meal when you are done. .”

Although it wasn't long after dinner, Dazhu and Erzhu were still very excited when they heard the word "Supper", and moved even more vigorously.

"Butler Wang, what are you doing?"

Wang Xiang couldn't help asking curiously when he saw everyone's work in full swing, why did it look like they were moving.

Steward Wang heard the voice and looked back. Wang Xiang and Tie Dan had just got off the carriage and were busy directing everyone to work. He didn't notice when the carriage stopped behind him.

"Master is back!"

Just after shouting, a white figure jumped out of the mansion, and the little loli ran out bouncingly, and shouted excitedly at Wang Xiang: "Brother-in-law, someone sent us a lot of good things today."

This girl is very fond of woolen sweaters that are as white as snow. Although Wang Xiang told her that woolen sweaters are usually worn inside, she still likes to wear woolen sweaters on the outside. It further accentuated her exquisite figure.

I usually don't pay much attention to it, but today I realized that the little Lolita has become attractive, and I can no longer treat her like a child.

Seeing Wang Xiang staring blankly at her little loli blushing, she called softly, "Brother-in-law!"

"Uh...Er Nan, what did you just say?" Wang Xiang also realized that he had lost his composure, and turned half of his face to ask.

Little Lolita talked for a long time, but it was Wang Xiang who explained to Wang Xiang that he finally realized that it was the gifts sent by the foreign envoys, and they had been moved for almost an hour, which shows how rich the gifts are.

"Brother-in-law, look, is this gem good-looking?" Little Lolita took out a sapphire the size of a bull's eye and shook it showing off, "Sister Ju Yiya said that such a large sapphire is rare, and I will let craftsmen make it later." The necklace must be nice."

She was picking gifts with Ju Yiya just now, and she ran out when Steward Wang said that Wang Xiang was back.

Wang Xiang shook his head and smiled and said, "Let's go in first, it's windy outside."

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wushun wearing a mink coat and sitting under the small pavilion in the front yard. There was a long table in front of him, and a small and exquisite stove was placed on the table.

The ledger was opened, Wu Shun was recording something with a brush, Aqinu and Ju Yiya were counting the boxes brought by Da Zhu and Er Zhu.

After writing down the box in front of him, Wu Shun put down his brush, raised his head and saw Wang Xiang coming in with a happy face and got up and said, "My husband is back."

Wang Xiang stepped forward to help Wushun sit down and said softly, "Why do you come out in such a cold day? Can't you just leave these things to Steward Wang?"

Wu Shun smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm bored even if I stay indoors all day, I don't feel cold in a woolen sweater, not to mention this mink fur coat."

Wang Xiang couldn't remember when Wushun had such a mink coat, but a real mink coat is very warm, and there is no need to worry about the cold with such a mink coat.

Little Loli raised her head and said, "I found this mink coat from those gifts, so my sister won't be afraid of the cold."

"Er Nan is amazing."

Hearing Wang Xiang's praise, Little Lolita was even more proud. Seeing that Da Zhu and Er Zhu had brought two more boxes, she quickly moved forward to pick and choose with Ju Yiya, but she took out what they valued first.

It took another half an hour for all the gifts to be counted. After reading the account book recorded by Wushun, Wang Xiang knew how rich the gifts were from those foreign envoys. It can be seen that they are bound to win the admission places of Wan Guo Academy.

All of a sudden, there was so much windfall. Wang Xiang felt extremely happy. Seeing Steward Wang coming in, he said loudly, "Butler Wang, ask Aunt Lin to prepare more delicious food. Treat everyone well tonight. There will be rewards after supper. send!"

Everyone cheered when they heard Wang Xiang's words. Generally, it is generous for a rich family to give out a reward of one or two pennies to their servants. Every time Wang Xiang gives out a reward of tens or even hundreds of pennies, how can they not be excited? .

"I want it too, I want it too!"

Little Lolita saw everyone cheering and joined in the fun, and the Hou Mansion was full of laughter.
