Sure enough, it seemed to be dull for a while, Wang Xuance's face showed a hint of joy, and then he nodded three times respectfully.

"Student Wang Xuance pays his respects to the teacher!"

......

Chapter 44 Confidence, What Makes Home

After a brief apprenticeship, Shu An asked Wang Xuance to go back to pack his things and move into the Shu residence.

"Ten years of cold window, no one asks, once you become famous, the world knows."

"Father-in-law's expectations for this student are not so high."

After Wang Xuance left, Li Shimin said softly with a strange light in his eyes.

"I won't lose to anyone when it comes to looking at people."

Shu An didn't explain why, but the voice rang out, with a trace of confidence in his voice.

"The people of the world will wait and see."

Although Li Shimin didn't know what to say on the surface, he couldn't help saying in his heart that this father-in-law seemed to have a source of confidence, but he didn't know it.

"The wine is already warm."

Shu An didn't dwell too much on this question, instead his eyes fell on the wine.

You must know that this is an old wine that he has collected for 50 years. In his previous life, he was not interested in such things as wine.

But I don't know if it's because of time travel that he has a good liking for ancient wines, maybe it's because of the low alcohol content, so he likes the feeling of being slightly drunk.

Li Shimin was also not polite to this cheap father-in-law, he directly filled a bowl for himself, and drank it in one gulp with a slight chill.

"Good wine!"

Li Shimin felt the pungentness coming from his throat and couldn't help saying, while Shu An on the other side was also not to be outdone.

.......

When Wang Xuance returned to Shu Mansion again, Li Shimin had already left, and Shu An's thoughts were racing, because before Li Shimin left, he still said something more.

Even with a hint of drunkenness, he still exists to protect his shortcomings after all, but Shu An came back to his senses after a long time, looking at the student who had been standing in front of him for an unknown amount of time, he could not help but show a hint of satisfaction and let out a voice.

"Let Laifu arrange for you to stay here first, practice early every day at [-] o'clock, and come out to study at two hours in the morning and afternoon."

"There are quite a few books in the mansion, all of which have been treasured by the old man for many years. During this period of time, you should read them first, and ask questions if you don't understand."

It was not easy for him to arrange for this student, because Wang Xuance was a Jiedushi in history, and logically he was regarded as a civil servant.

But with the record of fighting against the country by one person, it seems that he has a great future in the ranks of military officers, so he directly let this student play freely.

You must know that Xue Rengui had the dream of being a wolf and living in Xuxu since he was very young. As for Wang Xuance, he can't see any dream at present, and Guangzong Yaozu is barely alone.

Different from those illiterate students, Wang Xuance has been studying hard for ten years, and what he lacks now is not learning basic knowledge, but enriching himself.

"is teacher."

Wang Xuance said without any doubts, even with a little excitement in his words, you must know that your teacher is the world-renowned Duke Anxuan.

His collection of books is not comparable to his own, and he is very satisfied with the teacher's arrangement.

At the same time, with the beginning of a new day, the name of Wang Xuance also spread. The reason was that when he returned to Wang Xuance's inn, the news about apprenticeship was naturally unstoppable.

What's more, even if no one spread the word, Shu An would also secretly send someone to spread the word. After all, if there is nothing enviable about him, then what is the appeal of Shu Men Ten Questions.

An Xuangong has another student, and this student is the scholar who passed the Shu Men Ten Questions yesterday.

This news spread throughout Chang'an in a very short period of time. You must know the reason why the sun was about to set yesterday, and many people didn't know that someone passed the Shumen Ten Questions.

"What a lucky guy."

"The real step to the sky, the famous Chang'an"

"If there is an recommendation from Duke Anxuan, it will be of great help to embark on the road of official career in the future."

......

All the inns in Chang'an were discussing one after another, and there was a hint of sourness in the words. You must know that as a celebrity, there are naturally places for recommendation.

Not to mention that this is Duke Anxuan, and even His Majesty's sub-father, it's not easy to just say a word casually.

This person can be said to have reached the sky in one step, not only the children of the aristocratic family lamented the good luck, after all, they did not look at the people who called Teacher An Xuangong.

Now it can be regarded as a teacher from the same school, even if it is a little mention, there is a lot to do in the future.

As for the children of poor families, it goes without saying that although there are imperial examinations every year, they have to compete with the whole world.

The imperial examination only admits 30 people a year. It can be said that there are more monks than meat, and if it is not for Chang'an scholars, they have to pass the preliminary examination before they can participate in the imperial examination.

Then the rest is to take the recommended route, if you are a scholar of aristocratic family, you don't have to worry about this at all.

However, those poor students need to find a famous teacher, which is not so easy, and now they have seen a way.

"If we pass Shu Men's Ten Questions, we can also become disciples of Duke Anxuan."

Quite a few poor scholars showed a hint of determination on their faces and thought, although Shumen's ten questions are equally difficult, there is finally a chance.

........

On the other side, Li Shimin, who returned to the palace, had a good sleep, maybe because of insomnia last night, or maybe he was a little drunk after drinking some wine.

It was already noon when Li Shimin woke up, but this sleep was very peaceful, and of course he did not forget the morning's bet.

"Order Gao Shilian to lead his people to rebuild the clan records."

"In addition, send someone to report the situation of the reconstruction every day. This time, I want to see how the game goes."

The first thing Li Shimin did was to settle the matter. Although he didn't make any bets, he didn't think he was wrong.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The eunuch Wang De had been waiting on the side and said respectfully, although he didn't know where His Majesty went without the court meeting.

But as a eunuch, Wang De knew what he should know and what he shouldn't, not to mention that His Majesty had already explained before leaving.

It was said that he was unwell today and didn't see anyone, so there were not many disturbances in the palace. Except for a few people, no one knew that the emperor had left the palace early.

"In addition, the decree was passed on to the harem. From now on, anyone who criticizes the queen will be executed immediately."

Li Shimin's eyes flickered and he said softly, originally I was on the side of Guanyin's servant girl, but I always felt a little unbearable in my heart.

However, the words that his Asian father said before he left made him make up his mind.

"It's a pity that I don't know how many people of different races are still alive, so how did they get married?"

This sentence made Li Shimin stunned at the time. Yes, only one year has passed since the original Weishui alliance, and it has also become a taboo for this emperor.

How many people on the frontier have national hatred and family hatred, these people don't even have a family, and as an emperor, he is actually worrying about the affairs of the harem.

Thinking of this, even Li Shimin's face is a little bit uncomfortable, even though Yafu just said a simple sentence, he tried not to understand.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wang De was slightly startled, but he was glad he didn't offend the queen.

Chapter 45 Going out, tea house

"How could His Majesty make such a decree?"

In the palace, Empress Changsun revealed a trace of doubt and whispered softly.

Although this decree directly helped her pacify the palace, she still wanted to know the reason.

After all, His Majesty maintained a tacit attitude before, neither supporting nor opposing, but allowing the harem to develop on its own.

Of course, Empress Changsun is also in a good mood. Obviously, after this decree, the turmoil in the entire harem will stop.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The entire harem is said to have smashed many vases, but in the end they all fell silent.

......

A few days later, when Shu An knew Li Shimin's will, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said that the origin of the dispute between the princes was the palace.

How could a queen who has always been strong give those concubine princes the chance to step on his sons? The eldest grandson queen is not strong in history.

Coupled with poor health, on the one hand, he passed away early, so it was impossible to prevent the occurrence of fratricide in the future.

And in this life, Empress Changsun has been under the care of Shu An since she was a child, and her health is much better than in history.

Of course, in Shu An's view, the most important thing is the difference in personality, and this eldest grandson empress is not easy to bully.

"Laifu, go and ask Kuanghu to come and accompany me for a walk."

Shu An said calmly, saying that he has not visited Chang'an since returning to Chang'an.

"Master, let me accompany you."

Laifu couldn't help saying, after all, Chang'an himself is more familiar with it.

"No, your identity is too conspicuous now."

Shu An shook his head and said, now everyone in the world has heard of An Xuangong, but not many people have actually seen him.

Laifu is different. As the housekeeper of Shu Mansion, he has been in and out too many times, and he is already familiar with those scholars.

If he appeared by his side, he would definitely be recognized. On the contrary, Kuanghu was not recognized, just happened to be together.

......

The streets of Chang'an were full of traffic, with all kinds of hawking and yelling, a lively scene, but Shu An had a different feeling walking on this street.

"There is no peace in the busy city."

Shu An's eyes flickered and he said softly, he has experienced the rule of the Kaihuang, and then experienced the troubled times, and now he has a different perception.

Seeing Shu An's clothes and the guards around him, he couldn't help avoiding him from a distance, after all, he looked like a high-ranking official.

It would be bad luck if they ran into each other, but Shu An shook his head, but he didn't care about it, and he didn't pay attention to the equality of everyone.

Because it was no longer the steel and concrete world in his dream, but Shu An was a little confused standing on the street.

It seems that I don't know where to go, the food in the restaurant is not as good as my own cupboard, so forget it if I go to the brothel.

He didn't want his Qingming life to be destroyed. If he was young, he would be judged as a romantic at most. Fortunately, after thinking for a long time, Shu An finally knew where he was going.

"Go to the teahouse."

Originally, there were only teahouses in the Tang Dynasty, and the teahouses did not start to develop until the Song Dynasty, but because of the layout of the industry, Shu An mentioned a word.

So the humble tea shop at the beginning has now been moved to the tea house, which has attracted many scholars to taste tea.

After all, there are different grades of tea, and different tea making techniques lead to different effects.

When Shu An came to the teahouse, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback, because there are teahouses all over this street.

Not just one or two, at least five or six at a glance, even on the side of the main street of Chang'an, it can be said that this location is a treasured place of geomantic omen.

Similarly, in addition to a lot of money, this place also needs a certain background and strength, even if he bought it from a previous student family.

Then it was used to build a tea house. Obviously, such a tea house cannot be all his property, so some people followed suit.

After thinking of this, Shu An couldn't help but smile slightly. For him, the business of the tea house may be divided a lot, but the tea must be bought.

In particular, he took the first step but bought a lot of tea, and the method of frying tea, which cannot be imitated.

"My lord, some people became jealous after seeing the popularity of the teahouse in Shu Mansion and the gathering of many literati every day."

"I even heard that Luoyang and other places have opened teahouses, which use our new tea."

Shu Kuanghu said somewhat indignantly on the side, after all, this is robbing the interests of their Shu Mansion.

"Crazy Tiger, take a long-term view."

Shu An didn't have any feelings and said that although the wealth accumulated in the early years is not incomparable, at least it has been enough to eat and wear for hundreds of years.

Not to mention the addition of industries in various places, the wealth is increasing every day, so he doesn't value money very much.

It's just that there is no news of Shu Kuanghu's resentment at the side. What he cares about is not himself, but because he has lost the interests of the Lord.

"You have to know that this tea house has half of the shares of the young lady. The one in the palace should be anxious."

"It's fine if it's opened in other places, but it's still open near here. These people really don't know what to do."

As if seeing Kuanghu's entanglement, Shu An's voice sounded again, and when the words fell, Kuanghu's eyes lit up.
