Chapter 335: The First Meeting of Xu Mansion
Zhu Ping'an and the other two were proud and headed towards Xu Jie's mansion. On the way, they passed West Chang'an Street. In front of Yan's mansion on West Chang'an Street, there were still traffic and crowds of people. Zhu Ping'an briefly told Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen about the last time he was attracted to Huiyuan and was invited to the banquet by Yan Shifan. The main thing was that he was made difficult by the people of the Yan's mansion and the fact that Comrade Ouyang Xiao's "showed his strength". As for the incident where he accidentally saw Yan Lan, the second lady of Yan's mansion, he used the Spring and Autumn style to skip it.
"Haha, no wonder the capital city has been rumored to be unfair to be selected for the trial this year. Many people have a gaze and say that the second place in the trial is far superior to the first place Huiyuan. It turns out that Yan's mansion was the one who made the case at this banquet. The second place Ouyang Zishi is Yan Song's nephew. It is normal for Yan's mansion to make Ouyang Zishi famous in this way!" Zhang Siwei swept the Yan mansion, which was full of traffic, and smiled disdainfully.
"A nest of snakes and rats" Wang Shizhen was also very disdainful of Yan's mansion.
"Yes, Yan Maoqing, the deputy examiner of this examination, is the backbone of the Yan Party. I think Yan Maoqing's appointment as the chief examiner of this examination is inseparable from Yan Song. I think he plans to select Ouyang Zishi as Huiyuan. The organization is too smart, but unexpectedly, Zihou, you are out of nowhere to seize Huiyuan. The plan is not dashed, I think I will blame you. I heard that Yan Shifan is not a good person, sinister and cunning, and he is great and useless to do anything. Zihou, are you okay?"
Zhang Siwei touched his chin and thought for a moment, then guessed the whole story clearly, and then looked at Zhu Ping'an with some concern and asked.
Wang Shizhen took action and attacked Zhu Ping'an to see if Zhu Ping'an was injured. He was worried that Zhu Ping'an would be plotted against by Yan Shifan and others at the last Yan Mansion banquet or to make a mistake.
"Stop it, I'm fine." Zhu Ping'an quickly avoided Wang Shizhen's hands, and was touched with goosebumps. He had no hobby of picking up soap.
"They want Ouyang Zishi to become famous, I just satisfy them, just a false reputation." Zhu Ping'an didn't care about reputation at all.
"Oh, Zihou felt wronged. Zihou was quick-wisted and talented. When he arrived at the Yan Mansion's den, the situation forced Ouyang Zishi to be more beautiful than before, and he felt wronged." Wang Shizhen felt that Zhu Ping'an was comforting the two of them, sighed, and complained to Zhu Ping'an.
You guys are really thinking too much, I really don’t take it seriously. Zhu Ping'an looked at Wang Shizhen who seemed to empathize with him, and didn’t know what to say.
The three of them walked from the mansion of Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet, to the street entrance. Then turn right at the intersection, cross two streets, and then arrive at Huaishu Hutong. The third family is the mansion of Xu Jie, the Minister of Rites. Xu Jie's mansion is also an ordinary family of officials. Although it is also grand, it is far from Yan Song's mansion.
When Zhu Ping'an and the other two arrived in front of Xu Jie's mansion, several students happened to come out from Xu's mansion. Zhu Ping'an and the other two bowed slightly to the people, and all of them bowed back and nodded by. These people had just visited Xu Jie.
When they arrived at the gate of Xu's mansion, Zhu Ping'an and the other two handed over the disciple's sect and worship ceremony to the doorman, waiting for the doorman to communicate with each other.
Not long after, the doorman invited Zhu Ping'an and the other two to the mansion. A man who looked like a manager led Zhu Ping'an and the other two into the Xu mansion, walked around the small garden and walked through a corridor to the front hall of the Xu mansion. The manager stood in front of the hall and asked Zhu Ping'an and the other two to enter by themselves.
Zhu Ping'an and the other two entered the front hall and saw Xu Jie sitting in the main seat. In Zhu Ping'an's eyes, Xu Jie was a very kind uncle. He was about forty years old, very fair and not tall. The smile on his lips gave people a very kind feeling.
Sitting in the main seat, it must be Xu Jie undoubtedly.
"The disciple Zhu Ping'an (Zhang Siwei) (Wang Shizhen) met with the teacher."
Zhu Ping'an and the other two entered the front hall, and knelt down with the ceremony of paying homage to the master. They said in unison, and presented a full picture with respect and straightening hands. They were about to kneel down when they were sitting under others. Zhu Ping'an, who was kneeling on the ground, complained about the evil feudal society in his heart, and of course he was very respectful on his face.
"You are all pillars of the country's future, so there is no need to be polite. Please get up quickly." Xu Jie stood up, walked to Zhu Ping'an and others, and reached out to help him.
"Thank you, the teacher."
After thanking Xu Jie, Zhu Ping'an was the first to get up, followed by Zhang Siwei, and finally Wang Shizhen.
When he got up, Zhu Ping'an swept the front hall around. In addition to Xu Jie, there were two people in the front hall, one of whom he knew, and the other was the first time he met. The man he knew was the most powerful man in the Ming Dynasty, and it was Brother Yang Jisheng who he had met when he first entered the capital. Just as when he first met, Yang Jisheng sat upright there in a dark blue cloth robe, full of righteousness, like a sharp sword that had opened its blade. However, at this time, Yang Jisheng looked worried.
When Zhu Ping'an was the first to get up, Yang Jisheng recognized Zhu Ping'an, was slightly surprised, and nodded slightly to Zhu Ping'an.
Zhu Ping'an also nodded and returned the salute.
In addition to Yang Jisheng, there is another person in the front hall. If Yang Jisheng is a sharp sword, then this person will be like a city, unfathomable.
In fact, when they met Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei, Zhu Ping'an felt that the two were standard handsome guys, and they could definitely act in idol dramas in modern times. However, compared with the person sitting in the front hall, they were still slightly inferior.
This person should be the most handsome person Zhu Ping'an has seen since he came to the Ming Dynasty. It is not enough to describe it as a handsome man. His black hair was combed neatly on the top of his head, and was placed in an exquisite white jade crown. His high nose, thin lips, his sword eyebrows were slanted and his eyes were deep, his facial features were impeccable, and he had handsome black short beards. He gave people a sense of majesty. He was obviously a person who had accomplished great things and had a faint leadership style.
However, it seems that this man seems to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he pays great attention to decoration. His hair is combed very neatly, and no hair is messy; his clothes also look brand new, and there is not even a pleat on his body. You know, this guy is sitting, but there is no pleat. It is not obsessive-compulsive disorder.
What’s strange is that this person gives Zhu Ping'an the first look that he is very cunning and unfathomable.
This feeling is very strange. I felt this way at first sight, but there was no way. Things are so strange. When I saw this person, the signal reflected by my brain was like this.
"You are all pillars, don't stand and sit down and talk." Xu Jie waved his hand to let Zhu Ping'an and others take their seats after Zhu Ping'an and the other two got up.
"Thank you, the teacher."
Zhu Ping'an and the other two hurriedly thanked each other, and then sat on the chair at the bottom of the front hall. Zhu Ping'an was sitting nearest to the person. After sitting down, he smelled a faint smell of powder and moved his nose slightly, and then he was sure that it was from the person next to him.
Uh, no, it’s fine, it’s just that you’re handsome, but it’s fine to focus on decoration, but it’s even balm?
If this man hadn't been full of majestic and heroic demeanor, Zhu Ping'an would have almost ordered a curry song for this man to gay. (To be continued.)
