"My dear Jia Ming, I left Jiankang and traveled around. I heard that Su Xiaolang was famous among the people, so I came here to visit you." Xie Yuan bowed and spoke seriously.
His fame has spread to the capital.
Su Yuefan laughed wildly in his heart, but he was very humble on the outside: "The husband of the Jia family is just joking, I am just a talentless person, how can I be heard by others."
"I've got a copybook from a famous artist in the capital. I brought it here today because I wanted to share it with Su Xiaolang. I don't know..."
"Oh, please come in quickly. Hey, this..." Su Yuefan couldn't help but be confused when he saw Huo Qubing shaking his shoulders next to him.
"He is a guest." Xie Yuan glanced sideways at Huo Qubing.
Huo Qubing immediately suppressed his smile and bowed to Su Yuefan.
Su Yuefan returned the favor, and his favorable impression of Xie Yuan increased.
There must be someone behind Jia Ming if he can have followers following him, and he is coming from the capital.
If he could make friends with the husband of the Jia family, he would not have to compete with those common people, children from poor families, and children from the gentry surnamed Wu for those bullshit imperial examination places.
Humph, if it weren't for Xie Yuan, he wouldn't have failed the exam twice.
Su Yuefan welcomed Xie Yuan into the mansion and asked for two pots of hot tea.
This tea is sencha, a practice spread from the Jiangnan area, and is often used by artful people to entertain guests.
It is said that Xie Yuan was the one who invented this kind of sencha.
But who knows.
Anyway, anyone who can make sencha properly is considered a celebrity to them.
Yes, after Wu Shi San, being able to make sencha has become a new generation of celebrities.
Su Yuefan personally made sencha for Xie Yuan, but because he was not very skilled, there were a lot of unfiltered tea cakes in the tea bowl.
Xie Yuan calmly took a sip.
Longjing.
It was a pity that it was ruined.
Huo Qubing was not used to drinking tea, so he simply sat next to Xie Yuan without moving.
The two of them had a drink and chatted from gossip to business. Xie Yuan took out the masterpieces prepared by famous artists and spread them on the table.
Su Yuefan couldn't understand calligraphy and painting, but he knew that as a celebrity, he must appreciate calligraphy and painting, and he had to pretend to understand even if he couldn't understand.
So I made some mysterious comments, and then praised the artistic conception as very good.
Huo Qubing's shoulders started shaking again.
I'm going to live in Bengbu.
This is just a random drawing by the lord to fool Su Yuefan. Su Yuefan is really as the lord said, a fake celebrity.
Su Yuefan was chatting and talking about becoming an official. Xie Yuan smiled slightly and said, "I am not very talented. I have several high-ranking officials in the court who call me brothers. If the young man from the Su family wants to become an official, I can recommend him to you."
Hearing Xie Yuan's words, Su Yuefan felt happy, then coughed and sighed: "It's better not to bother Brother Jia. Then Xie Yuan, the troublemaker, issued the imperial examination order and abolished the ninth grade Zhongzheng. How can I be defeated by you?
Recommended for official employment."
Xie Yuan smiled slightly: "No matter what Dazai Xie does, he can't cover up the sky with one hand. There is always a way, just look at the young man of the Su family..."
When he said this, he slowly paused.
Su Yuefan got the answer he wanted, and also knew that Xie Yuan wanted the Wuling Su family's power behind him, so he patted his chest and made sure -
"I am the young head of the Su family in Wuling. One word from me, Su Yuefan, can defeat most of the Su family. If I can become an official, Brother Jia will be my brother of the opposite sex!"
He originally intended to make friends with Xie Yuan, but now Xie Yuan also wants the power behind him, isn't that just right?
As if he had achieved the purpose of his trip, Xie Yuan smiled even more in his eyes and bowed to Su Yuefan: "In this case, it would be disrespectful for me to do so."
When lunch was approaching, Xie Yuan wanted to leave, but Su Yuefan wanted to stay with him for lunch. Xie Yuan resisted and agreed.
"Brother Jia, I will take you to eat a good meal of meat today." Su Yuefan winked at Xie Yuan. This chapter has been completed!
