Xun Chen was very surprised. "Cui Yan is still in Chang'an?"
Of course he knew that Cui Yan was ordered to come to Chang'an, but he didn't know that Cui Yan was stranded in Chang'an for so long, and he lived in the Imperial Academy and became a famous scholar. Even Mrs. Tang knew about it.
Mrs. Tang was not surprised at all.
"When you come to Chang'an, how can you not come to Taixue to see it? How many people are willing to leave after you come to Taixue? Even if you don't participate in the lecture, it is a rare opportunity to listen to the heroes of the world discuss the plan of revival. You should be on the way here.
I also saw that there were scholars everywhere, and even Jiaozhou sent people."
Xun Chen took a breath of air conditioning. "How is Jizhou...?"
"It should be quite a lot. However, the reputation of Jizhou people is not good, and except Cui Yan, it has little influence." Mrs. Tang thought for a while and smiled, "Maybe Cui Yan stayed and did not return, which also means to justify the reputation of Jizhou people.
.After all, there are not many scholars like him who have the reputation of Zheng Kangcheng's disciples and are good at stabbing skills."
After Xun Chen thought about it for a while, he understood what Mrs. Tang meant.
It is said that influenced by the emperor, Chang'an people are more martial, and even scholars should try their martial arts first. If they are too bad, they are not the opponent at all, and they will only be beaten up by the opponent and have no chance to discuss the truth.
To Xun Chen, this is simply ridiculous.
But when he heard that Cui Yan had such martial arts, he was inexplicably a little sad.
"Is there such a Yingchuan scholar?"
"There is one." Mrs. Tang tilted her head, thought for a moment, patted her forehead, a little disappointed. "It seems that her surname is Xu, and I can't remember what her name is. I'm too busy these two days, and I can't keep up with my memory."
"Do you know where he lives?"
"I don't know. If you want to know, I'll ask someone to inquire. There are not many such people, so it should be easy to inquire."
"That's not good, I'll go and inquire by myself." Xun Chen smiled and said, "You're so busy, I'll still not bother you."
Mrs. Tang smiled slightly and didn't say much.
She is indeed very busy and can't take time to pay attention to those things.
Having a supper in the bookstore and taking some reports that had been missed on the road, Xun Chen came to the small courtyard arranged by Mrs. Tang for him.
After getting off the car, he noticed that the yard across the road was filled with the sound of weapons fighting each other, as if someone was competing. Xun Chen was curious and asked his followers to drive the carriage into the yard first, and turned around to come.
opposite.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a group of people gathered together, some old and some tall and some short, but most of them looked excited.
Xun Chen's vision was blocked, and he couldn't see the people inside even on tiptoe. He didn't want to squeeze with these people. He just stood aside in disappointment and occasionally saw through the gap. At this time, someone walked up to him and bowed his hand.
salute.
"I dare to ask if I am a member of the Xun clan of Yingchuan?"
Xun Chen looked at the person and felt curious.
He was sure he had never seen this person.
But from his accent, he should be from Yanzhou, and it is likely that he is from Chenliu and Liang Kingdom.
"That's right, I'm not satisfied..."
The man smiled. "Chen Liu Mao Jie, whose courtesy name is Xiaoxian, has worked with Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo. You look too similar to him, and you are not satisfied with it..."
Xun Chen suddenly realized, quickly saluted and reported his name.
He heard Xun Yu say about Mao Jie, but he didn't expect to meet him here.
When he learned that it was Xun Yu's brother Xun Chen, who had just arrived from Hedong, Mao Jie was also very excited and pulled Xun Chen to the side to discuss in detail.
He was very interested in the matter in Hedong.
He knew Xun Yu and knew who Xun Chen was. Xun Yu implemented the new policy in Hedong, and was nominally the prefect of the Han Dynasty's temporary capital, making it difficult for him to suspect that the emperor's new policy was a bad policy.
But the emperor insisted on seizing the fields, which made it difficult for him to understand.
He originally wanted to go to Hedong to take a look, but due to his shortage of money, he finally decided to save some trouble and came to Chang'an directly.
When he saw Xun Chen for the first time, he thought it was Xun Yu who came. When he got closer, he realized that it was just a similarity.
Although he was not a real village party, Xun Chen was still very happy and didn't bother to watch the fun anymore, so he invited Mao Jie to his residence to discuss in detail.
Mao Jie was hesitating when a voice came from the crowd.
"Xun Youruo?"
Xun Chen turned his head and found that the fight had ended and the crowd dispersed. Cui Yan strode forward with a sword in one hand and a hem of clothes in the other.
Xun Chen quickly saluted and smiled, "It's you. With your sword, Cui Jigui, the literati of Jizhou has become much straighter."
Cui Yan laughed, turned to look at Mao Jie, bowed and bowed.
Mao Jie reported his name. Cui Yan heard it and hurriedly said, "It turns out that you are Mao Xiaoxian. I have heard of your name. At that time, I wanted to visit, but was blocked by the Yangzhou governor's army, so I had to give up halfway and keep attracting him.
I thought I was sorry. It was really destined to meet here."
Mao Jie quickly said a few humility.
"Let's sit in my room." Cui Yan sent an invitation.
Xun Chen and Mao Jie looked at each other, but did not refuse, and followed Cui Yan into the room. Xun Chen looked at it and realized that Mrs. Tang's strength should not be underestimated. No wonder Xun Yu asked him to go to Chang'an and see Mrs. Tang first.
.
Although Cui Yan's room is not small, it is just a room, not a small courtyard after all.
And what he saw along the way was that almost all the rooms were filled with people, some even had beds, and many people slept directly on the floor.
Cui Yan owns a room and divides it into two parts: inside and outside with a screen. He is waiting for guests outside and living in others inside.
The guest and host took a seat. Cui Yan first asked about the two of them. When he learned that Xun Chen lived in the courtyard opposite, he couldn't help laughing.
"The people in the world look at Yingchuan, and the people in the Yingchuan look at Xun, and they are indeed well-known."
Xun Chen quickly shook his hand and said seriously: "Ji Gui, you are innocent, how can I be the leader of the party?"
"Don't be humble. In the current situation, except for you, Xun, who can still bear the important task of being the leader of the party? I won't talk about the eldest son of the emperor in the palace. Since your Xun family has Xun Wen, it's Hedong.
Yin, there is Xun Gongda as the guardian of Youyan, and Xun Changqian is far away in the Western Regions, with both civil and military affairs, spanning thousands of miles. Who can take it easy? I am bluntly, besides the royal family, I can't think of anyone who can surpass you Xun
"
Xun Chen was speechless for a moment and was difficult to argue.
In addition to being embarrassed, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
As Cui Yan said, to this point, as long as Xun's family does not make fatal mistakes, it is just around the corner to become a first-class wealthy family.
"I heard Ji Gui is heavy for a long time, but I didn't expect that he would speak like a sword, and he would hurt someone if he spoke."
Cui Yan shook his head. "Mr. Xun's words are serious. I have no intention of slandering me. I just want to remind Mr. Xun that if a gentleman is poor, he will be able to take care of himself. If he is prosperous, he will be able to help the world. Xun has such an opportunity, and he should help the world with the people.
, don't be petty about wealth."
Mao Jie nodded and agreed, "Ji Gui said so much, and I thought so."
Cui Yan said again: "The Xun family has emerged in many talents, first with the gods and then with the eight dragons. Kunzhong has all the wise reputations, but it has not yet shone brightly, and the children have the voice of young phoenixes. Xun family is not the leader of the party, but still
Who can bear this important task? It is God's will to be the party members who are promising Li Yuanli and succeeding you, Xun."
