On the third day of the Chinese New Year, Qian Yuan, who had just slept very late the night before, was Keqing, and Xiangling urged him three times in a row before getting up in disappointment.

I went to Yan’s mansion yesterday, and I had to go to Xu’s mansion once today. When can I sleep until I wake up naturally?

"Uncle, don't be anxious, have breakfast first and then leave." Qian Yuan sat down lazily after washing. Today he was visiting Xu She in name, so he specially invited Zhang Juzheng to accompany him.

"No hurry." Zhang Juzheng's eyes were obviously a little dark. He has been living in Suiyuan these days, fighting every night... Unfortunately, he couldn't beat Xu Wei.

I have to say that Xu Wei is so smart. He can play anything. He has become a veteran in mahjong within a few days and is very lucky.

Qian Yuan made a few rounds on the first day of the Lunar New Year and found an excuse to slip away. Xu Wei was very excited about this and even wrote a painting to commemorate it.

"I don't know if I'll leave the food at noon..." Qian Yuan grumbled while eating it: "Even if I keep the food... I didn't have enough food in Yan's mansion yesterday."

"That's right, even the imperial kitchen is not as good as you." Zhang Juzheng was slow and gentle, but his speed was not slower than Qian Yuan at all.

This is true. Qian Yuan made all kinds of tricks just for breakfast, but he didn't need to do it himself, and the chef had learned it all.

What we served today were tofu brain, fried dough sticks, fried eggs, glutinous rice cakes, shredded radish porridge, plum slices and lotus root porridge, and even a bowl of hot dry noodles.

Qian Yuan glanced at Zhang Juzheng, and added chili, shallot, seaweed, and pickled vegetables to the tofu brain expressionlessly, and dripped a few drops of sesame oil.

Zhang Juzheng paused with the spoon's hand, then dug a spoon of foreign candy hard, and muttered, "I'm so stingy when I open a candy shop at home!"

Qian Yuan simply turned around halfway and tried his best to prevent the bowl of heretic tofu from entering his sight.

Today, Gu Chengzhi would not go, only Zhang Juzheng accompanied Qian Yuan to Xu Mansion. There was no way. Gu Chengzhi accompanied him to various places and was seen... Most of them were fellow villagers, so the Xu Mansion must know.

You should know that the guy Xu Jie asked the Yue family to ask Qian Yuan’s marriage to Lu Shusheng, and Qian Yuan was willing to give such a wrong signal.

He honestly handed the posts according to the rules and lined up to enter the mansion. However, Xu Jie did a better job than Yan Song in the face-saving project. There were rows of sedans outside the Yan Mansion, and the Xu Mansion tried to let everyone sit down in the front hall. Of course, this also caused the reason why there were not many officials visiting the Xu Mansion.

The front hall is not big or small, and about a dozen people are chatting. There is no need for Zhang Juzheng to introduce it. Qian Yuan has already come over. Most of them are fellow villagers in Songjiang. Although they are all under Xu Jie, the Qian family in Huating is mixed in Songjiang, and there is always a sense of incense.

As soon as Qian Yuan came in, the front hall became quiet. Everyone first looked at Qian Yuan carefully, then turned their heads or glanced at Xu Fan who was accompanying the guest from the corner of their eyes.

The one Qian Yuan and Xu Fan on Suzhou City Street three years ago was rumored to be very popular, and the one two months ago was even more eye-catching... Two slightly young scholars have already stood up and prepared to pull the fight.

"Zhancai is here." Xu She, who was sitting in the main seat, stood up to greet him as if nothing had happened. "Uncle, I haven't seen you for only half a month. I've eaten fat and strong. It seems that Suiyuan is really well-known."

The chuckle sounded in the hall, all of whom were fellow villagers. Qian Yuan often invited the candidates from Zhejiang, Suzhou and Songjiang to banquets in Suiyuan. The wonders of the provincial examination in Nanzhili were widely circulated. At least the people in Songjiang know that Qian Yuan has a good cooking skills.

"I still remember the Mid-Autumn Festival three years ago, Zhan Cai personally made moon cakes and distributed them." A middle-aged scholar smiled and said, "The taste is excellent and makes people feel slackened. Even Mr. Pingquan is obsessed with it."

"So Gong Pingquan took Zhan back to his disciples."

There was another chuckle. The laughter fell into Qian Yuan's ears, which made him feel a little moved. Yan Song and Xu Jie were actually no different, but Yan Shifan was a maverick person, so today was chuckle, but yesterday was chuckle.

To be honest, Qian Yuan still prefers the atmosphere of yesterday...

Xu She smiled again and said, "I was a pity for today's lunch yesterday, it was a pity, it was a pity..."

Seeing that a few people's eyes turned to Xu Fan, Qian Yuan smiled and patted his belly, "So I ate 100% full this morning. Don't worry, Wanghu Gong, after drinking, I can accommodate it."

Since Qian Yuan entered the main hall and became the focus, Xu Fan has been very unhappy. In fact, before Qian Yuan came, he was also a topic of chatting among everyone.

Xu Fan was very puzzled. Although the Qian family and the Xu family had old grudges, Qian Yuan had a grudge with him, and he had refused to marry him, why were everyone so tolerant?

Hearing such uneven or yang words again, Xu Fan was angry and suddenly stood up and pointed at Qian Yuan's nose, "You..."

"Stop!" Xu She slapped the table.

For Xu Fan, he was more respectful to his father Xu Jie than fear, but he was more fearful to his uncle Xu She who had been disciplined since childhood. When he saw Xu She got angry, he immediately stopped talking.

The hall immediately became quiet.

In the awkward moment, someone walked in. When he saw Qian Yuan, he bowed and bowed, "Is this Huating Yingjie Qian Zhancai?"

"I dare not be a hero." Qian Yuan did not know this person, so he avoided and returned a greeting, "Sir, who is?"

"Haha, let me introduce it." Xu She walked over and said with a smile: "This is also a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing. Lu Guangzu, Pinghu, Jiaxing, whose courtesy name is Yusheng, was transferred back to Beijing at the end of last year to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Examination and Examination."

"Senior Lu." Qian Yuan gave a new gift. He knew that Lu Guangzu, Xu Jie's best friend, later served as the Heavenly Officer of the Ministry of Personnel twice. Even among the 26th Jinshi in Jiajing, where many great people were born, he was considered outstanding.

Moreover, in history, Lu Guangzu, Shaoxing Chen Younian and Sun Jing were called "Three Sages of Zhejiang Central Dazai", and had a very good relationship... Well, the other two are now regulars in Suiyuan.

The evaluation of Lu Guangzu in historical books is: "No jokes or sudden expressions in private residence. I have always been pity for officials, I am willing to be resentful and resentful, and I am proud of the ancient master's style."

To translate, this is saying that Lu Guangzu never jokes even if he is not in public, does not talk about right and wrong behind his back, he always has a smile on his face, is willing to do things, and likes to support his younger generations.

Lu Guangzu avoided Qian Yuan's gift and returned another gift, "Last year, the Japanese pirates landed in Zhapu, Pinghu, and invaded Jiaxing. His mother, second brother, and Ji brother took his family to escape into Chongde County."

Then everyone suddenly realized that the battle of Chongde was the beginning of Qian Yuan's reputation spread all over the world, and Qian Yuan could bear the gift of Lu Guangzu.

Everyone sat down again. As soon as Qian Yuan's butt fell, a servant came in to report that Xu Jie could not meet everyone, but just received a selective reception.

The servant bowed and whispered a few times to Xu She. The latter looked at Qian Yuan in surprise, and hesitated for a while before nodding, "Fan, you took Zhan to the backyard to pay homage to your mother."

Xu Fan and Qian Yuan were both stunned.

Qian Yuan grinned and thought to himself, what does this old fox Xu Jie want to do!

Xu Fan didn't dare to disobey, and stood up and stared at Qian Yuan coldly, with contempt in his eyes.

"Haha, Brother Xu, please come first." Qian Yuan was not so polite to Xu Fan. He turned around and said to Xu She while taking a step, "Wanghu Duke, I am worshipping you under the sect of Pingquan Duke..."

Everyone turned their heads and looked.

"The first provincial examination was won, but it was actually due to the teachings of Mr. Pingquan." Qian Yuan smiled gently and said, "The Pingquan Gong's family law is a stick."

Xu Fan paused and immediately accelerated and escaped.

Until both of them walked out of a long period, the hall was still silent. Everyone was thinking that some things were really seen by the old man at the age of three. Although Qian Yuan is famous all over the world now, his stingy and vindictive character has not changed at all, and he has become more and more serious.

Those present were either from Songjiang or Xu Jie's disciples. They all knew that the family rules of the Xu family had changed from rulers to rattans two months ago...

Zhang Juzheng, who was sitting closest to the outside, turned his head and looked into the distance, and could still see Qian Yuan vaguely. He felt a little no longer there.
