Chapter 317 Three Great Sages

As soon as the door opened, a handsome young man smiled at the wild Taoist.

"The person who lives here is Su Zi from Su Gongzi?"

Seeing no one behind him, only an ox cart parked not far away, Ye Taoist nodded: "Yes, what is the little brother looking for my master?"

After hearing this, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy breathed a sigh of relief: "I am sent by the Xie Mansion. I heard that Mr. Su has made great achievements in the southwest. Let me congratulate Mr. Su with a small gift. Please pass it on."

"Fengyun, who is here?" Just as Ye Daoist was about to ask further, footsteps came from behind, and Su Ziji came out to ask.

"It's Xie's mansion who came to congratulate you and give you a gift." The wild Taoist said.

Su Ziji hesitated: "Xie Mansion?"

Ye Taoist understood: "You don't know?"

Su Ziji shook his head.

The wild man turned to look at the boy.

The young man calmly explained: "Although I don't know him, my master has always admired young talents, and even more admired Mr. Su, a scholar who has gone to the southwest and made military achievements."

southwest?Thanks?

Ye Daoist thought for a while, then his mind flashed, he looked at the young man, and asked tentatively, "Could it be that little brother, you are from Zhennan Bo?"

The young man smiled and replied: "Yes, my master is from Zhennan Prefecture."

Seeing that Su Ziji wanted to refuse, Shaoxian explained: "It's really just a small gift, don't rush to refuse, wait for me to fetch it, you will know it at a glance."

As he spoke, he turned around and headed towards the bullock cart.

Su Ziji and the wild Taoist looked at each other, because he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, so he didn't stop him.

When mentioning the Xie Mansion, Su Ziji really didn't realize it. There are quite a few people with the surname Xie in the capital, and there is more than one Mr. Xie in Guangchao Hall. connect.

It's not surprising that Ye Daoist immediately guessed that it was this family. Speaking of which, Zhennanbo's Mansion and the Southwest do have a lot of connections.

Back then, the Patriarch of the Xie family was from the Southwest. He followed the Taizu to raise troops. He used to pacify the Southwest when he was young, and later became an earl. The Zhennanbo Mansion may not be indifferent to the situation in the Southwest. However, this generation of Patriarchs did not qualify. To lead the army to quell the chaos.

But Su Ziji went to the Southwest as an attendant, and made great contributions. Now that Zhennan Bo heard that the Southwest has been leveled, he sent someone to bring gifts. It is not without reason.

But Su Ziji just felt that there might not be other reasons, and when he was thinking about it, the young man had already walked over with a small wooden box in his hand.

"Mr. Su, there are a few books inside. My master said that they are not valuable things. I just think, Mr. Su, you have both civil and military skills. Giving the books to you is like giving a sword to a hero. It is not considered to have failed them. Please don't refuse."

As he spoke, he handed over the wooden box with both hands.

Ye Taoist wanted to take it first, but was stopped by Su Ziji's subconscious look.

Su Ziji took it with both hands, and lightly pressed the metal mechanism, and the wooden box opened, revealing the contents inside.

There are a few books inside the box, which look very old, even though it can be seen that the owner has tried his best to preserve them, but the smell of old books still overflows from the box as soon as the box is opened.

Just glanced at it, Su Ziji's heart was moved, this is a handbook that can be learned--it was a bit sleepy and came across the pillow, and was planning to collect some ancient books, but someone sent the ancient books?

His eyes fell on the indigo cover of the top volume, and he was stunned all of a sudden.

"A Collection of Hairpin Flowers?"

Su Ziji hurriedly opened the book carefully, and what caught his eye was the very familiar words of Meng Zhongqing, a great sage of the former dynasty.

As one of the three great sages of the previous dynasty, even in this dynasty, the county schools often have Meng Zhongqing's imitation copybooks for students to practice.

Su Ziji knew the great sage's handwriting at first sight.

And the antiquity of this book, could it be an authentic work?

Su Ziji was so shocked that he hurriedly and carefully flipped through the next four volumes, except for the two volumes which were the second and middle volumes of "Han Hua Anthology", there were also two anthologies of the three great sages.

Xu Shaoliang's "Ting Hai Ji" and Zhang Zhongyong's "Baixi Anthology" Volume [-].

Of the three great sages of the former dynasty, none of them were left behind, only the second volume of Zhang Zhongyong's "Collected Works of Baixi" was missing, but this didn't matter much.

Absorbing literary thinking is actually the talent and learning of the person involved in writing. If you look at ten in one volume, you can get the essence of Zhang Zhongyong in one volume. If there is no volume in the next volume, there will be losses, but not too much.

The young man just looked at it like this, until Su Ziji carefully closed the box and looked at him, and then explained with apology: "By the way, Mr. Su, my master said that Zhang Zhongyong's "Boss" is missing from these three anthologies. A volume of "Collected Works of Xixi", due to its age and troubled times, I couldn't find it for a while, but when I find it later, I will offer it up again."

"This gift is precious." Su Ziji said with a sigh.

Although I like it very much in my heart, and these five volumes are indeed not expensive for people who don't know the goods, but on the other hand, they can be said to be priceless. Even if one volume is missing, let the scholars know, I am afraid that some people will be willing to buy it Thousands of gold come to ask.

He has never met anyone in the Xie Mansion, even if he has been to the Southwest and made contributions there, he may have received such an important gift from the Zhennanbo Mansion, but it is still a hot hand.

But this is indeed very valuable to me, and I can't bear it for a while.

The young man smiled: "For you, it is naturally precious, but my master said that Xie's mansion is a bunch of rough men, so the books that are precious to scholars will be buried if they are kept."

"You, just accept it. If I take it back, I'm afraid it will be piled up in the warehouse again, and I don't know when it will be dug out!"

It looked like a servant, but this person spoke so clearly that Su Ziji couldn't help but take a second look.

I lowered my eyes and thought for a while: "Since this is the case, I will not be disrespectful. Please thank your master for me. If I have time, I will come to thank you. I don't know, but he is an uncle?"

The young man smiled and said: "Well, it's not easy to tell you, my lord, but there is no need to visit to thank you. My master will not stay in Beijing for a long time."

After hearing this, the wild Taoist suddenly said, "Little brother, I'm sorry that you made this trip, but do you want to sit down and have a cup of hot tea?"

The young man declined with a smile: "No, my master is anxious to wait for me to go back and reply. Since Mr. Su has completed his errand here, I will leave first."

With that said, he turned around and left.

Su Ziji watched him get into the carriage all the time, and then he and Ye Taoist turned back and entered the courtyard, the door was closed.

"The Xie Mansion will also trouble you to check it out." Su Ziji's expression calmed down, and he said to the wild Taoist, his expression was a little dark.

Given such a big gift suddenly, Su Ziji remained vigilant even though the young man behaved neatly and harmlessly.

After all, his identity, whether it is the real one or the fake one, once exposed, it would be a thunderstorm.

Although Zhennanbo's mansion is considered a noble family who started as a military general, there may not be no scholars in the family. The statement of the young man is not credible.

Moreover, its owner has always refused to reveal his real body, whether he is from the Xie family or not is not certain.
