Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 99

Yan Zhaohua didn't even know what expression to use when facing Pei Xuan's seemingly casual but overbearing invitation, Yan Ruiqian reacted first and refused:
"How is it possible! Don't even think about it."

Fan Wenchao pinched Yan Ruiqian's cheeks, squeezed his face into a distorted shape, his mouth was pouted, unable to speak, Fan Wenchao said, "You really are ungrateful, don't you, kid?"

In Yan Ruiqian's ears, the key point was "poor clean-up", but in Yan Zhaohua's ears, the key point was "ungrateful". Yan Zhaohua did not forget, the reason why Yan Ruiqian was able to go to the military department The practice on the field was all because of Pei Xuan's words, but Yan Zhaohua never told Yan Ruiqian about this matter, which made Yan Ruiqian still criticize the two of them, somewhat ashamed.

It just so happened that Tan Xiaozhi and his assistant had booked a private room upstairs, and when he walked to the door to greet Yan's siblings, he found two unexpected people. Tan Xiaozhi knew Pei Xuan and Fan Wenchao, and Pei Xuan was Gong Xiaozhi. Wang Shizi, Fan Wenchao is the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, and both of them hold important positions in the court, and he is not in the same class as the son of a second-rate marquis like him. What's more, Pei Xuan is also famous among the noble sons of the capital. .

Prince Gong is the younger brother of the present superior, and the son of Prince Gong is extremely precious when he is born.

Hurry up to greet him: "Are the two princes coming to drink tea too?"

Pei Xuan glanced at him, then lowered his eyelids, not intending to answer, Fan Wenchao had no choice but to reply: "No, I happened to meet someone I know, so I wanted to invite them together."

Fan Wenchao hooked Yan Ruiqian's shoulders, and the two were very intimate. Tan Xiaozhi glanced at Yan Ruiqian, and said with a smile: "Oh, it turns out that they are acquaintances. I've never heard of it from Brother Xian."

Although Yan Ruiqian was unhappy, he didn't dare to say anything more, he only murmured twice, which was regarded as an answer. Pei Xuan stepped forward first, and when he passed by Tan Xiaozhi, he stopped on purpose and looked at him with unknown meaning. Staring at Tan Xiaozhi, Tan Xiaozhi didn't know what he did wrong. When he was at a loss, Pei Xuan suddenly smiled, and then made a 'please' gesture to Tan Xiaozhi, but Tan Xiaozhi didn't respond for a while. Coming here, Prince Gong's son actually condescended to treat him as a second-class prince's son, this, this is really rare and rare.

After a brief moment of daze, he quickly came back to his senses, cupped his hands and said to Pei Xuan: "Yes, it is better to meet by chance than to meet each other, and Fan Shizi also invites you. My dear brother please. Miss Yan please."

Yan Ruiqian was dragged in by Fan Wenchao, and Yan Zhaohua was also pushed out of the shelves. She always felt that something was wrong with Pei Xuan today, but she couldn't tell why. They met in the morning and they were fine. Suddenly cloudy and sunny, it's really hard to wait.

On the other hand, I feel like a girl, why don't I play pots with Sister Rou and the others in the house in the afternoon, and insist on going out to buy a script, now I bought the script, but I didn't buy it myself, so I ran over again What kind of tea do people drink? The most depressing thing is that they drink tea when they drink tea, and they meet Pei Xuan again!
Yan Zhaohua didn't dislike Pei Xuan very much. When the two first met two years ago, he really disliked him. But in the past two years, they didn't meet many times, and they didn't have any bad memories every time. , especially the last time we met at Rabbit Mountain, I felt that he seemed to be a different person, not only did he not have the bad mouth of the past, but he actually helped her sincerely once, solving the potential factors of Yan Ruiqian's turning bad for her.

As long as there is this point, Yan Zhaohua can't really refuse Pei Xuan, and he owes him a favor, so he has to greet him with a smile.As long as Yan Ruiqian gets better, even if Pei Xuan returns to his previous venomous appearance, Yan Zhaohua won't give him face as before.

Followed them to the private room on the second floor. Yan Zhaohua had never been to this cross-river teahouse, and today was the first time. If Sister He Rou and the others came, she would definitely like it when she saw such an elegant teahouse, but Now... She just feels embarrassed, what's going on.

Not only her, everyone felt embarrassed!

Pei Xuan looked at Tan Xiaozhi with a smile that was not a smile. Yan Zhaohua had experienced this kind of look in his eyes. It was the kind of look that would drive people crazy. He wanted to talk, but he didn't say anything, waiting for you to say it, but you And worried that what he said didn't suit him, this kind of uncertainty was the most tormenting.

After the waiter served the tea, he left the private room. Fan Wenchao kicked Yan Ruiqian under the table. Yan Ruiqian wanted to stand up and fight him, but he was in front of everyone, so he had to give up. Compared to the teapot on the table, Yan Ruiqian is the youngest here, so he can't let the older ones pour tea for him.

After Yan Ruiqian understood, he had no choice but to endure his impatience, stood up resignedly, and poured tea for everyone present.

Tan Xiaozhi wanted to chat with Pei Xuan and the others, so he raised his glass and said: "Today I am honored to share the table with the two princes, and we will replace wine with tea, and do it first as a respect."

Tan Xiaozhi knew very well in his heart what his identity was and what other people were. If he could make friends with these two, it would definitely be beneficial for him to become an official in the future, so he became more and more flattering and flattering in his speech.

Fan Wenchao asked about the meeting and drinking tea between him and the Yan family siblings, and Tan Xiaozhi also told in a relaxed tone how he had met in the bookstore before, but Fan Wenchao was not polite, and pulled Yan Rui over again humble, said:
"Aren't you good at practicing martial arts? I heard from Lao Zhang that you are quite talented. Why do you still read those stereotyped essays? Are you really going to be the champion?"

Yan Ruiqian cast a sideways glance at Fan Wenchao, pouted and said coldly, "I want you to take care of it."

Seeing that Yan Ruiqian was very rude to Fan Wenchao, Tan Xiaozhi was afraid that Yan Ruiqian was too young and didn't know the severity of what he said and offend Fan Wenchao, so he said: "Young brother, don't talk to your son like this, you should observe etiquette. "

After hearing Tan Xiaozhi's words, Yan Ruiqian seemed hesitant to speak, but in the end he didn't argue anything, just nodded, and said: "Yes. I wrote it down."

People in the Yan family have this kind of temper, they eat soft but not hard, if you are soft with him, you will be as good as a puppy, but if you are tough, then I'm sorry, wolf cubs are not as fierce as them.Obviously Tan Xiaozhi came softly to Yan Ruiqian, so Yan Ruiqian was more face-saving, Fan Wenchao came hard, and his first impression was very bad, no wonder Yan Ruiqian always disliked them , but Tan Xiaozhi didn't know these things, that's why he mentioned Yan Ruiqian like that.

But it seems that Fan Wenchao's ears don't like it. It stands to reason that he and the little wolf dog knew each other earlier and had more contacts, but the little wolf dog was not completely tamed by him before he was tamed by another person. A few good words were brought over, and no one would be happy about this matter.

Yan Zhaohua only cared about drinking tea by himself, and didn't care about the intrigue among these men. It would be great if he could open a script book to read at this time. She began to look at the two stacks of books in Yan Ruiqian's hand, Yan Zhaohua took a closer look, and what Pei Xuan moved was the stack of anthologies recommended by Tan Xiaozhi to Yan Ruiqian, so she secretly relaxed tone.

Pei Xuan picked up a book, flipped through two pages, and suddenly said:
"Is this what you recommended?"

Tan Xiaozhi's attention was on Pei Xuan and Fan Wenchao. When he heard Pei Xuan speak, he immediately came over to respond and said, "Oh, yes. This is the past examination questions compiled by Lay Yanqing. There are detailed explanations and annotations, which are very suitable for ordinary students to read. , I saw it, and I wanted to recommend it to Brother Yanxian."

Pei Xuan only said that one sentence, and then stopped talking again, as if he didn't hear the long words Tan Xiaozhi said. Tan Xiaozhi was embarrassed when he didn't get a response, and took a couple of sips from the teacup, thinking that When Pei Xuan was just asking casually, Pei Xuan spoke again, and what he said this time made Tan Xiaozhi even more ashamed.

I only heard Pei Xuanqing's cold voice say:
"Li Yanqing admires the Mohist school. The questions he chose to make notes are all Mohist classic essays. He was a Jinshi examiner ten years ago. The chief examiner ten years ago was Lin Shoufu, who was also a Mohist disciple. , Li Yanqingfang has a bright future, but now the world is changing. Today, Confucianism is used to govern the country. The Imperial Academy examines the world's students. Xue Ke, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, is also a Confucianist. When you are a Confucianist, let him read it. If he fails the Mohist test, does it count as yours or his?"

This long speech not only stunned Tan Xiaozhi, but Yan Ruiqian and Yan Zhaohua were also stunned. Anyway, Yan Zhaohua doesn't know much about Mohism and Confucianism, but even if he doesn't understand, he can listen It can be seen that Pei Xuan is trying to dismantle Tan Xiaozhi's platform, and seeing Tan Xiaozhi's embarrassment, maybe he himself does not know whether what Pei Xuan said is right or wrong, and he is even more uncertain how to defend himself.

Pei Xuan closed the book, Tan Xiaozhi couldn't help wiping the cold sweat off his brow, and apologized with a smile: "My lord, you're right, I was indeed negligent, thinking that Layman Yanqing was brilliant in literature, and he was a leader in various subjects back then, and commented In detail, I wanted to use this to encourage the virtuous brother of the Yan family. Unexpectedly, I almost made a big mistake. It was because I did not think carefully and mistook the Mohist school for Confucianism. In the previous journey, Tan Mou was also to blame for his death."

No matter what Pei Xuan said was right or wrong, Tan Xiaozhi planned to admit this matter, so as to leave a generous and decent impression in front of Prince Gong's son.

But who knows, as soon as Tan Xiaozhi admitted, Pei Xuan said again:
"However, Li Yanqing's talent is worthy of recognition. Although he is a Mohist, he was able to integrate the two schools of Confucianism and Mohism, and write a novel essay. He is also Li Yanqing's disciple."

Now Tan Xiaozhi was even more embarrassed.Whoever first mercilessly points out his mistakes, and then after he admits his mistakes, then turns around and says that he was not wrong, is it wrong or right, which makes people unpredictable.

Yan Zhaohua was listening, and frowned even more, embarrassing Tan Xiaozhi's expression, he couldn't help saying:
"Then is this book a good buy or not, right or wrong? The son's words are incomprehensible."

Tan Xiaozhi glanced at Yan Zhaohua gratefully, Pei Xuan also turned his attention to Yan Zhaohua, smiled, and said: "There is no reason for the book to be wrong, it's just the people who are wrong."

Yan Zhaohua: ...
