Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 12 Famous
"My son pays homage to her righteous husband." Wang Ping'an knelt down as soon as he said he would leave the people at the gate of the academy. He finally had a father.

"Haha, okay, get up quickly, I have nothing for you as a father, so I will give you this jade pendant." After speaking, he took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Wang Ping'an.

"Thank you, adoptive father." Wang Pingan took the jade pendant with both hands, and took a closer look at the jade pendant. It was completely white without any impurities, and there was a letter "Li" engraved in the middle.

"Father, I think this jade is extraordinary, it should be a nobleman's item, it seems to have some special meaning." Wang Pingan expressed his doubts.

"I don't know, this was brought up by my father when I was a child, and now I'm entrusting it to you for safekeeping."

"Yeah, I'll keep it safe."

Wang Ping'an and Liu Tie were walking and felt someone calling them from behind. Turning their heads, they saw Wang Liang running in their direction and stopped in front of them out of breath.

"Student Wang, were you calling me just now?" Wang Pingan asked.

"No, that's right." Wang Liang said out of breath.

"Is there a problem?"

"I was impressed by Bai's understanding of "Ten Chapters of Analects" in class today. I would like to ask Wang for some advice." Wang Liang said after recovering.

"Where is it, we can't tell. Wang is older than me, so he must have learned more than me, so we can exchange literature with each other."

Wang Ping'an was not arrogant about his talents, which made Wang Liang feel good about him, and said happily, "Well, how about we go together?"

"Okay, let me introduce you. This is my adoptive father, the head of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau." Wang Pingan introduced Liu Tie to Wang Liang. Everyone should know about his adoptive father.

"Hello, Uncle." Wang Liang saluted Liu Tie.

"Nephew Wang Xian, please take care of my family when it is safe." Liu Tie was very satisfied with Wang Liang's salute to him.

"Where, where, it should be that I need classmate Bai's advice. My carriage is here, uncle Bai, let's go back together." Wang Liang invited Wang Ping'an and his son to get on the carriage.

"Thank you very much." Seeing that Liu Tie was about to refuse, Wang Pingan quickly promised Wang Liang that he would not want to leave for such a long time.

Seeing that Wang Ping'an agreed, Liu Tie couldn't say anything, so the three of them got into the carriage and walked all the way to the south of the city.

On the way, Wang Ping'an learned that Wang Liang turned out to be the young owner of the largest grain merchant in Luoyang, and the only seedling of the Wang family. His father's name was Wang Shouren, and he hoped that he could be admitted to Jinshi and win a fame.

For this, Wang Ping'an took a fancy to Wang Liang. The largest grain merchant, Wang Ji Grain Line, has [-] stores in Luoyang.It can be used in the future.So he said, "Student Wang, you are older than me, why don't I call you Brother Wang."

"That's a good relationship, so I'll procrastinate and call you Brother Bai." Wang Liang said excitedly, even he himself didn't know that in the future, because of his friendship with Wang Ping'an, the Wang family would become the richest man in the entire Tang Dynasty.

"Brother Wang, it's getting late today, I'll be the host and go to Juxianglou for dinner together."

"No, I have already promised my father to go to the banquet tonight, I will invite you next time."

"Okay, since Brother Wang is right, the younger brother won't force it. We'll meet again next time. Let's get off the car right now, or we won't nod in front of you."

Seeing that the road in front of him was really narrowed, he had no way to turn around, so he could only say: "Well, let's say goodbye to today, and see you at the academy tomorrow."

"Okay, goodbye, Brother Wang." Wang Pingan waved his hands reluctantly and said loudly.

"Xin'er, you have made friends so quickly, I am really happy for you as a father." Liu Tie said happily.

"That's because I'm handsome." Wang Pingan said shamelessly, and returned to Zhenyuan Escort Bureau after speaking.

"Brat." Liu Tie smiled helplessly, and followed behind Wang Ping'an.

As soon as he arrived at Zhenyuan Escort, Wang Pingan saw four or five chickens flying around.Well, dinner is beggar chicken, and Wang Pingan knew without thinking that it was bought by Liu Han. He didn’t get much beggar chicken twice, but this time he bought one, two...five chickens, okay? Well, I'm going to exhaust myself to death.

Wang Pingan resentfully walked beside Liu Tie and said, "Father, is there a chef in the house?"

"Yes, what are you going to do?" Liu Tie asked curiously.

"Of course I told them how to make beggar chicken. Do you let the children do it every time?" Wang Pingan said as a matter of course.

Soon Liu Tie called two cooks and a cook, and Wang Pingan gave them the recipe of Beggar Chicken, and also taught them a few breakfast recipes and noodle recipes. There is a hot breakfast to eat.

When eating in the evening, Wang Ping'an discovered that there was no Eight Immortals table or round table in the mansion, only long tables and benches, not even round stools, square stools, and Taishi chairs.

Wang Pingan saw a business opportunity, which could make a lot of money, but he didn't know how the spending power of the Tang Dynasty was, so he had to investigate it if he had the opportunity.

Soon five beggar chickens and a large bowl of noodles were placed on the table, which Liu Han specially ordered to make, all because they didn't enjoy eating yesterday, so they planned to eat them back today.

The whole scene of the dinner is something Wang Pingan will never forget. Only Liu Tie, Liu Han, and Liu Honglei ate a big bowl of noodles. The five chickens lost two legs, and Wang Pingan ate the two legs.

Eating is like a war. You fight for it. If you are slow, you will be eaten by others. You have to be thick-skinned. I didn’t see that Liu Han was forced to spit on the beggar chicken because he couldn’t grab Liu Tie and the others. In the end, after eating two whole chickens, Wang Pingan was taken aback.

The next day, Wang Pingan still remembered what happened last night when he woke up in the morning.The temptation of delicious food is really great, it can make a few elders so shameless, Wang Pingan can only shake his head with a wry smile.

After breakfast, Wang Ping'an went to Yunshan Academy. This time Liu Tie didn't accompany him. In Liu Tie's words, you are a man, you don't dare to walk alone. What do you call a man, just be a woman.

In order not to be a woman, Wang Pingan had to come to Yunshan Academy alone,
However, after entering the academy this time, Li Yi directly asked him to practice brush calligraphy. There was no other reason. Wang Ping'an's calligraphy could no longer be described as ugly, so Li Yi arranged to practice calligraphy for the past few days.

In this way, Wang Pingan was arranged by Li Yi to practice calligraphy for seven days.In the past seven days, Luoyang was still calm, but Chang'an had become a mess, especially the royal Chongwen Museum and Guozijian, because of a "San Zi Jing", all the great Confucian scholars have already begun to study and debate.

The topic of the debate was not whether to promote or not, but what kind of person the person who wrote "San Zi Jing" was.It is divided into two factions, one says it was written by a hermit Confucianism, and the other says it was written by a collection of more than a dozen scholars, and it was finally heard by our Comrade Li Er.

When Comrade Li Er saw the "San Zi Jing", his heart was like a huge wave, and he shouted: "The masterpiece handed down from generation to generation is the most enlightened." He quickly summoned several ministers such as Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Li Gang, and the great scholars of Chongwenguan and Guozijian to hold a meeting. emergency meeting.

The final conclusion of the meeting was: promote the "Three Character Classic" and reward Wang Ping'an.

On the day after the meeting, the "Three Character Classic" was promoted in Chang'an, and it caused quite a stir. Basically, children from every household would come to say a few words, and they could hear the "Three Character Classic" when walking on the street, and the whole Chang'an was blown up. There was a burst of "Three Character Classics", and the style of writing flourished for a while, and Wang Ping'an's name spread from this.

Once a person becomes famous, interested people will investigate it, and fast horses run from Chang'an to Luoyang.

However, Wang Ping'an didn't know anything about what happened in Chang'an. He was practicing typing hard now. Because of his unintentional actions, the "Three Character Classic" was published early, and he also entered the eyes of the emperor.But it also allowed him to enter the power center and make preparations in advance.

"Master, my writing hands are sore, can I take a rest?" Wang Pingan put down the brush and shook his wrist a few times. He has written thousands of characters in the past few days. The sum was more than ten times more, and Wang Ping'an's writing was everywhere on the ground.

"Well, let me see, you can only rest if you make progress." Li Yi walked to Wang Pingan's side and picked up a piece of paper.After looking at it, he said: "Not bad, not bad, great progress, acceptable to others, but still not ideal, you have to keep working hard, let's take a break for now."

"Thank you, Master." Wang Ping'an immediately lay down on the ground when he heard that he could rest.Not only are the hands sore, but even the feet are numb. During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, they all sat on the ground, and there were no high chairs or tables.
