Chapter 26 Invitation, country boy!

Chang'an Cai Duke's Mansion

Du Ruhui's expression was a little ugly. As the saying goes, curiosity kills people, and his situation seems to be similar.

If he had taken a step earlier yesterday, he would not have been as embarrassing as he is now. Now many students in Chang'an have used him as an example.

"It's normal that Duke Cai didn't answer the first question, and it's normal that he didn't answer it."

In particular, such words made Du Ruhui feel a little hot on his face, and he couldn't raise his head.

"Master, an invitation came from Duke An Xuan's mansion."

A middle-aged butler hurriedly ran in and said at the same time, with a hint of joy in his words.

You must know that as a housekeeper, you need to be active both inside and outside, be the most versatile about Chang'an, and also know the troubles of your master.

Now An Xuan Gong’s invitation can give the master a surprise. You should know that An Xuan Gong has never invited anyone.

"What, teacher's invitation?!"

Du Ruhui's face showed a hint of surprise and said, "I don't need to say more about the excitement in his words."

After he finished speaking, Du Ruhui stepped forward a few steps and looked at the invitation on his face. He would not admit his mistake in this font.

"Please go to the house for a while."

In a short sentence, he was like a heavenly sound for Du Ruhui. Without any hesitation, he got on the carriage from the back door.

At the same time, outside the Chang'an city gate, a young man showed a hint of yearning on his face when he looked at the city where the smoke seemed to have never passed away.

"Is this Chang'an?"

Young man murmured, he was originally from a small landlord's family, but due to the war, his family was destroyed and his former wealth disappeared.

But after all, it was a young man who wanted to revive his family through his own efforts, so he left the young man and studied all the way to seek famous teachers.

But he was not from a famous family, but also had a poor family. Although he searched for famous local scholars everywhere, he was turned away before he could meet him.

Along the way, the young man's mind has been sharpened and mature, and Chang'an is his last stop.

"If you can't visit a famous teacher again this time, then use the remaining money to buy a few books and go back to your hometown to study hard."

A trace of determination flashed through the boy's eyes, and there was a hint of loss in his words, even if he was not much money, it was because his mother sold some of her property while she was disagreeing with the public opinion.

According to usual habits, the boy found a small restaurant in Chang'an and ordered a bowl of clear soup noodles. Seeing the price, he couldn't help but send a small amount of money. Then he couldn't help but ask the waiter to start inquiries.

"Woman, I wonder which famous scholars are in Chang'an City?"

The boy asked with a hint of expectation in his eyes, after all, Chang'an is the most prosperous place, and there must be many famous scholars.

"You'll ask the right person. There's nothing in Chang'an that I don't know yet."

"But nowadays, His Majesty cherishes talents, and basically all famous people have entered the Imperial College."

The waiter seemed to be quite excited because he met a scholar from another place. After all, the scholar in Chang'an was not so polite to him, so he kept talking.

But what the waiter didn't notice was that the young man's eyes were slightly dim, because since he had an official position.

It is very likely that like before, I am afraid that even people will not be able to see each other, but the young man probably has an understanding of the famous scholars in Chang'an.

"Of course, the last thing I want to talk about is Duke An Xuan. Duke An Xuan has not been admitted to the Imperial College and has no official position."

When the waiter talked about this, the young man's eyes lit up slightly, as if this An Xuan Gong had great hope.

"Waiter, can you tell me about this An Xuan Gong?"

The boy couldn't help but say, but after he finished speaking, he only rolled his eyes.

"You won't even know Mr. An Xuan, who is famous all over the world, right?"

The waiter seemed to be surprised and said, with a hint of contempt in his words. Even he knew the influence of An Xuan Gong in the Shilin, but the young man who looked like a scholar in front of him didn't know it.

"Should I know him?"

The boy said with some confusion, and kept muttering in his heart, as if he had heard of this name, but he didn't care.

"Do you know two things that have caused a sensation in Chang'an recently?"

The waiter couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority on his face, and there seemed to be a trace of mystery in his words.

"What's the matter?!"

The boy also said with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, what does this have to do with the previous mention of Mr. An Xuan.

"The first thing was that An Xuan Gong wrote the inscription Lingyan Pavilion. The poem touched Chang'an. Our shopkeeper also copied a copy and hung it there."

The waiter pointed to a pair of words on the wall on the middle of the lobby and couldn't help but say, while the boy was stunned.

Because he had been on the road for too long just now, he was a little tired, so he didn't notice that there was still a pair of words hanging here.

"Why don't men bring Wu hook!"

After reading the first sentence, the boy fell in love with this poem. After reading the complete poem, even he felt a sense of passion, which wiped out his previous fatigue.

"The second thing is that countless students from Chang'an came to ask for their words. It is said that when An Xuangong wrote this poem, his words formed a school of words, which made His Majesty love him today, and many ministers were concerned about it."

"But even though An Xuan Gong is highly respected and respectful, he couldn't help but feel helpless when facing so many people asking for words. He set up the Shumen Ten Questions. No matter who he is, he will be accepted after answering the ten questions correctly in a row."

The waiter said with a fluttering expression as if he had experienced it himself, and his voice was even more ups and downs.

The boy's eyes flashed. It turned out that there were such great sages in the world. It would be great if he could worship him as his teacher.

...........

In Shu'an's mansion, Shu'an and Du Ruhui sat opposite each other, but at this time Shu'an's face was filled with a smile.

"Keming, what did this matter of looking at your expression have not affected you?"

Shu An's voice slowly rang, and there seemed to be a hint of teasing in his words.

"Teacher, please stop sarcasticting me."

Du Ruhui said with a wry smile on his face, who in the world can escape the four words of fame, fortune and wealth.

Even he is no exception. His reputation has ruined a lot, but this matter cannot be blamed on others, it is considered an unrestrained disaster.

"It's good to be relaxed occasionally. Just as the meal is here, I'll have a meal together."

Shu An said with a smile, to be honest, I have a good sense of this student who came to the door halfway.
