Upon hearing this, Xu Hanliang was slightly startled, feeling that the one on the other side was really quite big.
I originally thought that these two people were just street performers, but the life experience revealed by this opening was not simple.
In this era, my father came from the imperial examination and was at least a civil servant, or at least a Jinshi.
From a civilian position to a military position, there is still no way to do it in general.
"Just listen to this. Taizu was originally a warrior. Is it possible that Taizu was not a good man?"
Xu Hanliang curled his lips and said.
"Be careful what you say, be careful what you say."
Upon hearing this, the man quickly waved his hands, fearing that Xu Hanliang was saying something else.
But he felt very comfortable with what Xu Hanliang said.
He changed the topic and asked with a smile: "I wonder who your surname is?"
Upon hearing the man's words, Xu Hanliang's face panicked and he didn't know what the other person meant.
The words I just said just came to my lips and came out smoothly.
But after saying it, he regretted it a little.
Now that I heard the other party ask my name, I was even more worried that the other party was trying to hold me hostage.
"This, I'm Xu Hanliang."
But then I thought about it, the other party was making empty claims, and even if he was held, there was no evidence.
And this man doesn't look like a bad guy, so getting to know him would be beneficial.
When he heard Xu Hanliang's name, the man was slightly startled: "Xu Hanliang? Who wrote about Xu Jieyuan, who managed the affairs of the king and the world, and won fame both during and after his death? Who wrote about Xu Hanliang, who said that there is no need to bury his bones in a mulberry land, and that there is no place in life without green hills?"
"This, it's probably me."
Xu Hanliang was also startled. He didn't expect that he was so famous. Any busker on the street knew his name.
"My young master once said a few days ago that most of the literati in this world have no bones. If there is a person with bones, it must be Xu Hanliang."
The maid on the side heard this and took over the conversation with a light smile.
After hearing that the opponent spoke so highly of himself, Xu Hanliang was no longer worried that he would hold him hostage.
"My surname is Zhong Xiuwen. I didn't expect to get to know you."
The man bowed slightly, looking like a little fanboy.
This made Xu Hanliang a little puzzled. How could he, a small-time scholar who couldn't kill a chicken, become a person admired by a warrior?
But Xu Hanliang didn't ask too many questions. Since the other person said so, Xu Hanliang couldn't lose face.
What's more, Xu Hanliang just talked a lot here, and he actually wanted to learn from this person.
Anyway, the marksmanship just now should be considered the strongest among the performers Xu Hanliang saw.
Although this man said that he had never joined the army, he had definitely killed people, and the fierce aura about him could not be eradicated.
What the man just said was not false, and he should not be a fugitive.
Otherwise, I wouldn't show off here so arrogantly, let alone talk about wanting to get acquainted with myself.
"This is good, Brother Zhong."
Xu Hanliang was a little embarrassed.
After hearing this surname, Xu Hanliang thought of a minister in the court and a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty.
But his age doesn't match that famous general, and his name doesn't match that famous general either.
Zhong Xiuwen was obviously a natural, and after learning Xu Hanliang's identity, they immediately started talking.
Xu Hanliang also followed his words and continued.
The two of them were young people themselves, so they became familiar with each other without saying anything.
Naturally, Xu Hanliang spoke politely: "Brother Zhong, I see that you are very skilled in martial arts, and I happen to want to learn some martial arts, so I thought..."
Zhong Xiuwen was a little surprised when he heard this.
Unlike himself, Xu Hanliang was not interested in studying at all, so he practiced martial arts.
He is a newly promoted Jie Yuanlang, and it will not be difficult for him to become a Jinshi in the future. Who knew that he actually wanted to learn martial arts from him.
"Brother Xu, isn't this a joke?"
Zhong Xiuwen then asked.
"What did Brother Zhong say? Although I have no intention of joining the army, I still want to have a martial arts skill."
Xu Hanliang said this, without making up any reason.
Of course, he couldn't fully explain the reason.
Now he is twenty years old. When he is twenty, if nothing changes in history, the Jingkang crisis will also spread to Changshu.
Even if the Jingkang Disaster did not spread to Changshu, the previous Fangla Uprising had actually entered Changshu City.
No matter from which aspect, it is not a bad thing to learn more martial arts now.
He is not worried that learning martial arts will consume too much of his energy and delay his future career.
After all, he was initially cramming in the imperial examination, and finally, after half a month of hard work, he got a Jieyuan.
The worst thing is to spend more time preparing when the time comes.
It shouldn't be a big problem to get a Jinshi degree in one month.
Thanks to Xu Han's conscience, if he said these words, he would definitely make many scholars in the world angry to death.
The Jinshi Scholarship that everyone longs for seems to be within easy reach in Xu Hanliang's words.
"If Brother Xu really thinks so, there will be no problem. I will stay in Changshu for a while."
Zhong Xiuwen didn't have any objections and said with a smile.
"but……"
When he said this, Zong Xiuwen scratched his head in shame.
"how?"
After seeing Zhong Xiuwen agreeing, Xu Han's conscience was naturally happy. Seeing his embarrassed look, he felt a little strange in his heart.
"Actually, to tell you the truth, I am not very familiar with Changshu."
"So I can only make a living by performing arts. I wonder if Brother Xu has a place to live?"
Zhong Xiuwen scratched his head, and the expression on his face became more and more embarrassed.
"Brother Zhong said what he said out of the blue. If this is the case, then I will rent a house in a separate courtyard for you and Shi and you, and treat it as my disciple. I will also need to trouble you both during this time."
Xu Hanliang bowed his hands and continued.
Zhong Xiuwen looked a little calmer and said immediately: "Thank you very much, Brother Xu. I've been having a lot of trouble this time."
Xu Hanliang did not plan to let the two live in his own home, but planned to rent a yard for them.
The old house is still a bit too small, and it would be too crowded if it accommodated so many people.
After a conversation, Xu Hanliang realized that it had been a while since they had been out, and their money had been spent.
In fact, one of the main reasons is that the cultivation of essays is too lavish.
Whenever he met someone with some martial arts skills on the road, Zhong Xiuwen would throw away money like Xu Hanliang.
In this way, the money you have will naturally be spent very quickly.
Now I still owe money to the inn, so I have no choice but to come out to perform.
