Early the next morning, Ouyang Zheng went to the Ministry of Personnel to report and then went to the Shangshu Province to complete some procedures.

Xu Jie's courtyard suddenly became crowded with people. First, a large number of gifts came, and carriages and horses from all over the place came to Xu Jie's courtyard with boxes of all sizes.

There are many talented people in this capital. The news of Ouyang Zheng returning to Beijing is slowly spreading. At this time, Ouyang Zheng entered the capital. But for a night, everyone seemed to know that Ouyang Zheng had entered Beijing.

Originally, it was the literati who came from Dajiang County, so the gifts were not heavy. At lunch, the things on the gift list became more and more expensive.

What surprised Xu Jie the most was an invitation, the invitation from the Secretariat Minister Li Zhi, who invited Ouyang Zheng to go to Zhaixing Tower to attend the banquet at night, and would come to invite him in person in the evening.

Xu Jie looked at the gift list that came with the invitation, looked at Xu Kang beside him, and said, "Tell them to bring the things back."

Xu Jie was angry, and Xu Jie was somewhat revenge. Xu Jie was no better than those people in the scene. Since some people were not all the same people, they naturally didn't need to come and go.

Xia Rui leaned over and looked at it, and said, "Wen Yuan, why not wait until Mr. Ouyang returns before deciding."

Xu Jie shook his head and said, "It's not a person who is traveling, so it's useless to have more friends. I made an appointment with Xie Zhongcheng in the evening, and Li Zhi is what he is."

Xu Jie said something, and he felt a sense of venting. Just like when he first entered Tokyo, after seeing Li Zhi who was trusting Ouyang Zheng, Xu Jie felt helpless and Li Zhi's attitude, and he called Ouyang Zheng's name high above, how could Xu Jie pretend that it had never happened?

Although it seems that it is not a big deal to go to Xie Fang's mansion to leave memorials. However, for Xu Jie at that time, Xie Fang, who was not familiar with such small means, was really helpless. Xu Jie was not willing to do this, but he had no choice but to do so. Xu Jie was desperate and could only do this and put his face aside.

In politics, Li Zhi's attitude is no longer a person. People can make a fortune and be arrogant, but they also have to give the minimum respect to those who have been kind to them back then. This is the most basic character.

Xu Kang heard Xu Jie's decisive words and felt some anger in Xu Jie's tone. He quickly walked towards the door. Seeing the boxes he had just moved in, he raised his legs and kicked them, and shouted: "Go out, let me go out, and move the things out."

Several servants who were working hard to carry gifts into the yard looked at each other, not sure, and stopped aside and were at a loss.

Xu Kang said again: "Ouyang Gong will not take away the things from the Li family, so he will take them back."

As he said, Xu Kang raised the long sheathed sword in his hand and pretended to intimidate him for several times.

A servant from the Li family came forward and bowed and said, "Brother, have you made a mistake? My master and your Ouyang Gong are classmates and friends, and they have been friends for decades."

"No matter what kind of classmates you are, go out, don't let me drive you out." Xu Kang said impatiently, and Xu Tai followed behind Xu Kang and took the long sword in his hand to drive away people.

Xu Zhong was in the hall, looking at what was happening outside the door, and looked at Xu Hu who was holding tea and pouring water beside him in confusion.

Xu Hu explained: "Boss Zhong, the Li family seems to be a minister. Originally, Mr. Ouyang asked the young master to beg him, but it seemed that he didn't like the young master, so the young master went to Xie Zhongcheng to get things done. Maybe the young master was angry with this minister."

Xu Zhong nodded when he heard this, picked up the tea and took a sip, and said, "It's hard for Jie'er."

Xu Hu smiled proudly and said, "Young Master has some skills. Now in the capital, who doesn't know the name of the young master."

When Xu Hu was a child, he mostly called Xu Jie Brother Jie. Since he slowly left the Xu Family Town and learned the style of the city people. People around the scholars all called this young master and son. Xu Hu probably also called Xu Jie Brother the young master to give Xu Jie a good face. Xu Gouer and others also called this.

When Xu Zhong heard this, he smiled. Perhaps he felt extremely relieved.

The Li family carriage at the door left, but he didn't expect that in the evening, Ouyang Zheng had just returned, but Li Zhi came in person.

Ouyang Zheng and Xu Jie were about to go out and went to Xie Fang's mansion, and prepared a lot of gifts. As soon as they left, they met Li Zhi's carriage and horses to the door.

Li Zhi quickly got out of the car, stepped forward and bowed, and smiled and said, "Brother Daojian, I'll be fine after being separated for more than ten years."

"Daojian" is the word Ouyang Zheng has not called it for a long time. Logically speaking, Li Zhi and Ouyang Zheng are classmates. It is not an exaggeration to call "Brother Daojian", but it can also seem to be close. However, this sentence "Brother Daojian" came too late.

Ouyang Zheng raised his hand and said, "It's always good, what's the point of Mr. Li coming here?"

Ouyang Zheng's words about Secretariat Li actually represent a certain attitude.

Li Zhi was slightly embarrassed when he heard this title, but he smiled and said, "Brother Daojian has returned to Beijing. It is really gratifying. I prepared a banquet at Zhaixing Tower and asked Brother Daojian to move and share the friendship of the past."

"If you have something tonight, I will come to visit my old friend, Mr. Li, and we will get together again the next day." Ouyang Zheng's tone was plain. It was obvious that Ouyang Zheng was also the kind of person who hated evil, and was not like that kind of person-like behavior. Even Ouyang Zheng knew that Mr. Li did not take him seriously.

There are some things that Ouyang Zheng thinks more than Xu Jie and sees through. Xu Jie comes to visit Li Zhi. How could Li Zhi really not guess at all in the officialdom for so many years? Ouyang Zheng has countless disciples in the past ten years, but one of them comes to Li Zhi to take care of him with Ouyang Zheng’s visit?

Ouyang Zheng did not think that Li Zhi really didn't understand what Xu Jie's message was about holding Ouyang Zheng's handwritten letter. Li Zhi was so arrogant that he said first that Xu Jie came to the door to ask for some care, and that he wanted to block Xu Jie's next words. Even Li Zhi's attitude made Xu Jie retreat and not say more.

How could Ouyang Zheng not have imagined these things that Xu Jie could not have imagined? Li Zhi could still be a good person by dealing with Xu Jie in such a way. He even asked Xu Jie to write to Ouyang Zheng, saying that Li Zhi would take care of Xu Jie. He even wanted to leave everything alone and let Ouyang Zheng blame Xu Jie for his ineffective work.

But Li Zhi would never have thought that Xu Jie, a young scholar, really helped Ouyang Zheng do this. There were such a foolish fool in the court. He went to the emperor to plead with the risk. Unexpectedly, this foolish fool really heard the words of a young scholar, and the old emperor actually called Ouyang Zheng back. This matter could be accomplished!

However, Li Zhi didn't think he had offended Ouyang Zheng, because Ouyang Zheng's disciple Xu Jie had never told Li Zhi about this, so it was not for him that Li Zhi did not think about his past kindness.

Li Zhi may be really smart, but he is somewhat smart. The little scholar Xu Jie acted a little dazed in front of Li Zhi, and he had never said a few words in front of Li Zhi, but this stupid scholar did not seem to be really stupid. Ouyang Zheng is even more sensible and can see more deeply than Xu Jie. The worst thing a person should not let down the kindness and trust of others.

"Brother Daojian, most of the friends of the past, have invited them, and they are waiting for Brother Daojian to come in the Zhaixing Tower." Li Zhi heard Ouyang Zheng say that he was going to visit his old friend, and then said, "If you don't have enough face, then I'll bring a few more people together."

Ouyang Zheng had already started to go to his car frame and waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li, we will be together again tomorrow. There is something really going on in a few days. An old friend is waiting for me at home, but I can't break the appointment. See you again!"

After saying that, Ouyang Zheng had already put on the frame with Xu Jie. When it comes to Ouyang Zheng and Xie Fang, they are really not old friends. They even met one or two times back then. Ouyang Zheng was arrogant at that time, and Xie Fang was playing the piano and Wu Boyan wrote poems. Ouyang Zheng and Xie Fang were really not the same person, let alone the relationship.

After Xu Jie helped Ouyang Zheng get on the car, he got on the car himself. He turned around and looked at Li Zhi who was still standing at the door, and told the coachman, "Let's go, I'll give you the way."

The coachman raised his whip and gently whipped the horse's back, and the horse's hooves had already started and walked slowly.

Li Zhi stood on the spot with a look of embarrassment, looking at Ouyang Zheng's car frame walking away. After a while, he turned around and said unhappy: "I saw you building a tall building back then, and I also saw your building collapse back then. Now, I still have this self-righteous style. I will see how many days you can live in this tall building! Let's wait and see, hum..."

Xie Fang knew that Ouyang Zheng was coming tonight, and the mansion was busy, just to entertain Ouyang Gong. Ouyang Zheng's reputation was just a compliment in the hearts of most people. But in the hearts of people like Xie Fang, there was admiration and respect from the bottom of their hearts.

Today should be a good banquet, or a happy banquet. Xu Jie is also active from it. Ouyang Zheng and Xie Fang are obviously going to become old friends. This is not only a political relationship, but also a mutual appreciation for each other in terms of character.

But there is one person in this capital who is not in such a good mood.

In the diligence, Princess Rong Xia Wen sat opposite Wang Xia Wen of Guangyang. Then Xia Wen said, "Little sister, do you say that Xu Wenyuan is a gentleman and a gentleman, a person who is not for fame and fortune, and like Wu Boyan, he doesn't want to be an official? Do you know that his teacher Ouyang Zheng has entered Beijing? The second-rank minister of the Ministry of Justice."

Xia Xiaorong was playing the piano, but she could use it with all her heart and smiled and said, "Didn't this matter spread long ago? I've heard that Ouyang Zheng is going to return to Beijing. The teacher is a teacher and the student is a student. Ouyang Zheng is returning to Beijing, which does not mean that Xu Wenyuan has any ambitions in the court."

"Little sister, I didn't care about it either, but I recently received news that Ouyang Zheng could enter the capital because Xu Wenyuan ran up and down. Someone reported to me that after Xu Wenyuan entered the capital, he ran around, first visited Li Zhi, the Minister of the Secretariat, and then turned away. Then he went to ask for the Chief Censor Xie Fang, who helped Xu Wenyuan, so Ouyang Zheng could enter the capital. Do you understand the meaning?" Xia Wen said.

When Xia Xiaorong heard this, she was a little surprised at first, then she smiled and said, "That little girl underestimated Xu Wenyuan. She didn't expect that he had such energy, which was really extraordinary."

Xia Wen frowned when he heard this, "Little sister, do you really don't know what you are talking about for your brother?"

Xia Xiaorong smiled and nodded and said, "I know, the emperor's brother is just a person who pursues fame and fortune, but is not used by the emperor's brother. He is still Ouyang Zheng's disciple, afraid that he will be an opponent in the future. The more capable Xu Wenyuan is, the more worried the emperor's brother will be."

Xia Wen nodded, but said again: "Really speaking, he is a little scholar, and I shouldn't take him seriously. But this young scholar can accomplish such a big thing, so it should not be underestimated. This person is born with talent and cannot be used by me. It's a pity."

Xia Xiaorong said dissatisfiedly: "Then the emperor will recruit more people. Most of these talented and capable people are so arrogant that they always have to visit the cottage three times to show sincerity. How could Liu Bei ask Zhuge to ask for the Longzhong at once?"

When Xia Wen heard this, he first felt that Xia Xiaorong was saying something, but then frowned and replied: "I'm afraid it's not that easy, Xu Wenyuan..."

"How about this Xu Wenyuan?" Xia Xiaorong asked halfway through Xia Wen's words.

Xia Wen sighed and said, "This Xu Wenyuan...isn't you going to let me ruin him?"

Xia Xiaorong was stunned when she heard this, but said again: "Don't think about it all, how can the emperor destroy him? This person is talented and capable, and he is not even an official, so he can't catch him. The emperor should stop thinking about Xu Wenyuan's affairs, which will only increase his worries."

Xia Xiaorong is a little immature. If a prince wants to destroy a person, he has many means, including killing people. Where can he catch him?

Xia Wen didn't say much when he heard this, but said another topic: "I heard that Xu Shida often revolved around you recently? He sent you a lot of lyrics every day?"

Xia Xiaorong nodded and said, "Well, the Xu Shida from Hangzhou is not bad. The lyrics he wrote have a bit of the graceful flavor of Jiangnan, and it is also pleasant to sing."

"In the future, I will not get too close to Xu Shida. This person is too utilitarian and too conscious, so he is not a good person." Xia Wen said this, really for the sake of this sister's good.

Xia Xiaorong giggled and replied, "Brother, I'm so worried. There are so many people who give me lyrics. Xu Shida is only one of them."

"That's good." Xia Wen felt much more at ease. Xia Wen and Xia Xiaorong, a mother and a compatriot, are also the reason why the two have such a good relationship. It is rare for royal children to have such a good relationship. Even if they have two boys, they are as many enemies as enemies. Fortunately, they are brothers and sisters, so they can get closer.

But I didn't expect Xia Xiaorong to say suddenly: "It would be great if Xu Wenyuan could also give me some lyrics. Although Xu Wenyuan's lyrics have only heard a few songs, they are all excellent works. Now they are as young and talented as Xu Wenyuan, I'm afraid they won't find them. Those who give me lyrics are really far behind Xu Wenyuan. If life is just like the first meeting, who else can write it?"

Xia Wen's face darkened, looked at his sister, and suddenly said seriously: "Little sister, don't go close to Xu Wen. Unless he joins my door, you must not get entangled with him."

Xia Xiaorong said after hearing this: "The emperor wants this Xu Wenyuan so much?"

Xia Wen waved his hand: "It's best to be able to come and make a profit, but it doesn't matter if you can't come and go."
