Chapter 16 Young Mr. Yang Ming

(Please collect, please recommend tickets!)

The young man who came to open the door saw that it was Wang Shouwen who knocked, the tiredness on his face immediately dissipated, he brushed off his sleeves courteously and said, "Third young master, you are back, the young master was still talking about you just now."

Wang Shouwen frowned and said: "Is there anything to talk about, we rushed back after school." After finishing speaking, he turned to Xie Shen and said, "Brother Xie Xian, come in quickly."

After the two entered the mansion, they walked a hundred steps along a side corridor, entered the main courtyard through a moon gate, and walked through many courtyards on the bluestone road, and then stopped in a cross courtyard.

"This is the courtyard where my elder brother lives. He has a quiet temperament, so even though he is the eldest son, he lives in such a secluded courtyard. Since Brother Xie Xian is here, it is natural to pay a visit."

Xie Shen nodded, now that Wang Hua is supposed to be in the Imperial Academy of Beijing to edit and write, the Wang family's business should fall on Wang Shouren.As the eldest son of the Wang family, he must take on this responsibility.

Poor Wang Yangming is about to take the provincial examination, and he has to manage the huge family affairs of the Wang family mansion, which is really tiring.

Xie Shen felt sorry for Wang Shouren.

A lot of bamboos were planted at the gate of this small courtyard, and a bamboo gate was formed under the shade of each other. The two walked through the bamboo gate and walked to the north wing.

At this time, Wang Shouren should be reading books in the room. Wang Shouwen thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and knocked on the door.

He grinned wryly and said: "Brother doesn't like to be disturbed when he is studying, but today is special. To see such a talented person like you, the anger in my brother's heart must have disappeared."

Xie Shen slandered for a while, comparing knowledge with Wang Shouren, unless he is really crazy!
Although Wang Shouren only has the reputation of being a scholar, he is going to become a master of the mind in the future, and he is also the master that Xie Shen admires the most. It is unexpected that he will see it with his own eyes today.
"Brother Xie Xian, what are you still doing in a daze, come in quickly."

Only then did Xie Shen come to his senses, and followed Wang Shouwenkuo into the house.

"Brother, I'm back."

As soon as he entered the house, Wang Shouwen shouted at the top of his voice.Xie Shen also followed closely, passing a six-panel flower-and-bird screen, he saw a young man in a navy blue straight jacket and a black square scarf resting on a soft couch, taking a nap.

Hiss, Xie Shen gasped, thinking this could be Wang Yangming.Mr. Yangming's image of stalwart in Xie Shen's heart instantly fell to the bottom.It turns out that saints also sleep in such indecent positions.
"Cough, cough, brother Xie Xian laughed."

Wang Shouwen also seemed to think that the elder brother's sleeping posture was not elegant, so he hurriedly stepped forward and shook Wang Shouren awake.

"Rich the house, nourish the body with virtue, broaden the mind and make the body fat, so a gentleman must be sincere in his intentions."

Wang Shouren woke up in a daze, still reciting "University" silently.

Wang Shouwen hurried forward and said, "Brother, this is my classmate Xie Shen. He was recommended by the county lord to study in Sanwei Academy, and even the county school Confucius praised him very much."

Wang Shouren rubbed his eyes, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Why didn't you tell Brother Wei in advance when you brought your classmates to the mansion, it's considered rude for Brother Wei to act like this."

But Xie Shen had an idea and said: "No, brother Shou also said just now that the house is rich, the body is virtuous, the heart is wide and the body is fat, so a gentleman must be sincere in his intentions. A gentleman cultivates his body and mind, and doesn't care about these external things."

Wang Shouren was taken aback by Xie Shen's calm response, but he immediately laughed and said, "Interesting, interesting. You are indeed a student who is admired by the county lord and the imperial edict. Shouwen, you should learn more from Mr. Xie."

Wang Shouren's attitude was very modest, like the big brother next door, which made Xie Shen relax a lot.

The current Wang Shouren is not Mr. Yangming after all, so it is reasonable to be approachable.

"Since you're here, let's have lunch together."

Wang Shouren said with a smile: "Just now I fell asleep in Wenshu, stealing half a day's leisure, it's worth it."

"Brother Shou, please!"

"Thank you, dear brother!"

"It's better to keep my dear friend!"

Wang Shouren laughed loudly, and walked out first, no longer giving way.

Since Wang Hua was not in the Yuyao mansion, the dining place of Wang's family was also moved from Wang Hua's house to Linfengtang next door to Wang Shouren's residence.

Xie Shen lamented the feudal etiquette while envious of the luxury of the Wang family's house.

According to his estimate, the Wang family's mansion is four or five years deep, and it is a very big family.

Yuyao's literary style was at its peak, and there were too many families of poets and books to enumerate.But there are only a handful of wealthy families like the Wang family, Xie family, and Sun family.In fact, Wang Yangming should belong to the Wang Clan of the Mitu School and be counted as a branch of the Shangtang Wang Clan.But because of Wang Hua's high school champion, this Wang family, which is not completely direct, was naturally included in the Shangtang Wang family.

This is also the reason why Wang Hua's family can build a mansion separately from the Wang's ancestral house in Shangtang.

However, Xie Shen is not an archaeologist, so naturally he is not very interested in Wang Yangming's family lineage, what he wants to do is to make friends with Wang Shouren.

Linfeng Hall is built in a small courtyard, which is a typical garden style of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.As soon as you enter the Moon Gate, you will see a rockery with running water passing through it, surrounding the entire courtyard.Among them, there are all kinds of pavilions, terraces, pavilions, bamboos and old locust trees, which should be like a fairyland on earth.

The three of them sat down in the pavilion near the pool, and the servants of the Wang family brought the food.

Longjing shrimp, West Lake water shield, fried eel back with shrimp, steamed meat with lotus leaf powder, yellow croaker and sea cucumber soup, whole yellow croaker in color, West Lake vinegar fish, soft-shelled soft-shelled turtle, roasted river eel in a boneless pot, small square roasted moss vegetables, large yellow croaker with pickled vegetables, rotten pork Yellow croaker wrapped in leather, foie gras wrapped in net oil
When more than a dozen exquisite Zhejiang dishes were served, Xie Shen was dumbfounded.

His later generations also studied Zhejiang cuisine, but he had no choice but to eat one authentic dish at a time.As for after coming to Hongzhi Dynasty of Ming Dynasty, Xie’s family was poor. Apart from rice porridge and pickles, the best thing he ate all day was scrambled eggs, and he had nothing to do with these luxurious dishes.

Unexpectedly, the Wang family is so luxurious, there are more than a dozen dishes for just one lunch
"Hey, brother Xie Xian, please feel free, don't be restrained."

Wang Shouren moved his chopsticks first, picked up a chopstick of Longjing shrimp, and chewed it slowly in his mouth.

He is a saint after all, he is so gentle even when eating.

Xie Shen didn't know how much saliva he had swallowed at this moment, no longer caring about being reserved, he nodded and picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Xie Shen used a pair of bamboo chopsticks with great proficiency, and after a short time, many dishes came to an end.Seeing Wang Shouren's embarrassed face, Xie Shen also smiled awkwardly: "Brother Shouren laughed."

Wang Shouren waved his hands again and again and said, "Brother Xie Xian is really temperamental, Wang admires it!"
