Chapter 152 One is more wonderful than the other
Bai Xiaolan is out!
Xu Bai has no intention of looking down on the chef, but you are a son of a uncle and can only open a restaurant to make money, but you are addicted to this, which is not suitable. Even if you are in a bad mood, you will always have no problem with food and clothing in this life. Can you consider other hobbies?
During the Tumu Fort, the nobles who were in charge of the expedition, the princes and the marquis, and their children and their families, were one after another. Although the army was destroyed in the end, it was definitely a crime of war. Compared with these nobles who were loyal to the country, Bai Xiaolan was a little incompetent. Not to mention that you were asked to serve the country and the people, but at least you had to give the court's offering to you!
As an individual, it doesn't matter if he has such a hobby, but as the princess's son-in-law, Xu Bai looked down on such a person from the bottom of his heart.
The banquet was very good, and the restaurant door didn't even enter, and it ended like that. Xu Yongning was a little unwilling, and Xu Bai was also a little unwilling. The two of them just found a place, ate something, and continued to move on to the next step.
In addition to Bai Xiaolan, there are two others left, one is Ren Ziming, the second son of Marquis Wuling, and the other is Song Mingli, the youngest son of Marquis Jinghai. Marquis Jinghai cannot count on Xu Yongning anymore. These two families seem to be a little bit unfavorable. Moreover, according to Xu Bai’s understanding, Marquis Jinghai should be closer to Duke Wei. It seems that Xu Yongning is not interested in him, so it seems that it is understandable.
"Go to the Marquis of Jinghai!" Xu Bai suggested that he would not tell the other party that Ren Ziming rarely showed up, and would not set up a restaurant like Bai Xiaolan. If you want to contact the other party, you must go to the other party's house!
"That old man has a bad temper!" Xu Yongle frowned: "Can you change your family? Moreover, I think all his sons are not particularly promising. The eldest son is only a guerrilla general now, and the second son is a weak scholar. He is locked up at home and studying every day, and everyone is stupid!"
"It's great to read!" Xu Bai nodded seriously: "I admire scholars the most. Recently, under the guidance of Mr. Shang Lu, I feel that my literary thoughts have been pouring out recently, and I am just trying to make friends through literature!"
"You are the only one who is still as thoughtful as a spring?" Xu Yongning looked at the other party with contempt. The vulgarity of the Jinyiwei was famous in the hearts of the noble families. Even if Xu Bai became the commander of the Jinyiwei, he still could not escape the chain of contempt.
It is inevitable that the children of noble families like Xu Yongning will be polite and martial. After so many years of the Ming Dynasty, how could these noble children with titles on their heads still be rough and ignorant?
To make an inappropriate analogy, basically the noble class of the Ming Dynasty is the highest military academy of the Ming Dynasty. Over the years, they have continuously delivered middle and senior commanders to the Ming army. Both civil and military are basic requirements. Even if they are promising a decathlon, it is definitely not a shocking thing. Their training resources are there!
"All right, just treat it as lying with open eyes, it's a reason at all!" Xu Yongning didn't need Xu Bai to defend himself, and directly decided that Xu Bai was bragging, "Anyway, if you are turned away by then, it's not my business!"
The door of the Wuling Hou’s mansion was still wide open, and there was basically no possibility of being turned away. It was impossible to directly ask for a visit to Wuling Hou. Wuling Hou’s eldest son was an official in another place. When the family at the door heard that it was Duke Ding who came to "make friends with his second son through literature!" hurriedly ran in.
"As long as you don't see that old guy, there's no big problem!" Xu Yongning laughed: "He will never jump out and talk to me about poetry and songs!"
Xu Bai smiled and said nothing. He just didn't have to stand up anyway. He just came to meet people and contact the other party. He didn't need to use such a good shield as Xu Yongning.
No matter which noble mansion is, there is a study room, which is usually discussed important matters. If you really study in the study, there are probably not many nobles.
As soon as the two entered the Wuling Marquis, they took them directly to the study. Xu Yongning was worried that he would see the old face of Wuling Marquis, and he was wondering along the way. After sitting down, he saw a young man with a bookish face and walked in from outside with some fear, and he felt relieved in his heart.
"Ren Ziming has met his grandfather, but I wonder why his grandfather is so idle today and will come here?"
The boy looked clean and gentle. Xu Bai nodded slightly in his heart. At least, this person looks good.
"I'm not idle, but I'm idle. When I got nearby, I heard that Xiao Ren likes poetry and prose. Come and talk to you. Why don't you welcome me?" Xu Yongning faced Ren Ziming, but he became much more free and easy.
"Welcome, welcome!" Ren Ziming's face showed a happier look: "That is, the grandfather knew me, and my father always scolded me, saying that he didn't have to take the top scorer in the exam. Why do he do if he read so many books? How could he know? There is a Yan Ruyu in the book and a golden house in the book..."
As soon as he talked about reading, the fear on Ren Ziming's face suddenly disappeared: "I have been reading Kong Anguo's "Shangshu Jingyi" recently. I have benefited a lot and I am very happy. I am just trying to communicate well with others. Which book is the most familiar to "Shushu Jing"?"
"Ah, I read this "Shang Shu" more, and I am more interested in King Wu Ke Shang..." Xu Yongning hesitated and replied.
"This! King Wu Ke Shang actually mentioned it more often in "Book of Zhou"..."
Xu Bai widened his eyes, looked at the two people in front of him, and began to discuss one sentence from the left. At first, he could still understand what these two people said, and even if they couldn't understand, he could guess the general meaning. However, later, he found that he seemed to have heard every word of what these two people said, but when they were connected, they didn't know what they mean.
It's like a heavenly book!
He became bored. At the entrance of the study, a family member of the Hou Mansion standing there looked like he was not surprised. He walked over silently and asked quietly: "Do your second son like to make friends with people through literature?"
The family took a look: "My second son likes poetry and prose, but the master doesn't like him interacting with those literati. Today, the prince comes, so the second son is of course happy!"
"The second young master will naturally listen to the words of the Marquis! However, the Marquis asked your second young master to practice martial arts, but he may not be able to listen to it!" Xu Bai chuckled: "The Marquis' temper is very famous in our Nanjing city!"
