Come on, Your Highness

Since Wei Guogong knew about He Xichao's plan to take the imperial examination, he had been thinking about He Xichao's teacher candidates.

Although he was often outraged by He Xi's vigor, he was still very proud of this grandson deep down in his heart.

Now that the government has been sealed and sealed, it is very free, and a group of officials are waiting for the holidays.

But I had to order Mao, so I could only drink tea and chat.

The ones who can chatter at this age are not the descendants of the family. Whoever is excellent, whoever is not educated and has nothing to do, can't do without this topic.

Wei Guogong listened to his subordinates' seemingly humble brags, such as the eloquence at the age of seven, the strong calligraphy at the age of eight, and the ability to write letters to relieve his father's worries at such a young age...

He sneered in his heart, there was nothing surprising about He Xichao here, if he hadn't just passed the college examination this year, he would have planned to take the examination for scholar.

Of course, Wei Guogong is reserved, he is unwilling to show his tongue.

It's just that when he thought of this, he felt proud and helpless, especially when he realized that He Xichao didn't want to get involved too much with Duke Wei's mansion, and he had already planned to set up his own family, so he became irritable.

It's not good at all, the brat's idea is really making people's teeth itch.

No wonder, with this kid's means, if he really has the heart to fight for the title and family business, he doesn't care if his name is on the genealogy.

Three months ago, Wei Guogong would not care about such a grandson who came back halfway, but now, he does not intend to let He Xichao fulfill his wish.

The surname is He in this life, and the He family will be in that life!

So it's really hard to find candidates for this teacher.

Needless to say about learning, if the level is low, I am afraid that I will be humiliated by this student. It is best to have a close relationship with the Duke of Wei. It is a pity that it is difficult for foreign relatives and powerful officials like the Duke of Wei to make friends with great Confucianists who are as famous as their hearts. .

There are barriers.

On the contrary, the Hanlin Academy is somewhat related, but it is a pity that it is on the other side of the second room, so it can't be used.

Wei Guogong didn't speak for a long time, and his subordinates couldn't help feeling embarrassed, fearing that his mistakes would cause displeasure to his superiors.

Glancing at him, they found that Wei Guogong was actually worried, and they immediately lifted their spirits, thinking that it was time to share their worries for Shangfeng.

After their repeated questioning, Wei Guogong said: "My little grandson wants to try in the next year, but unfortunately time is short, so I want to find a teacher for him. After thinking about it, I didn't think of anyone who is suitable. Alas, I'm afraid of delaying him. .”

"Hey, my lord, but Master Mingrui? How old is he? He's only...eight years old after the new year. Besides, he has a bright future with the third prince. You are too anxious."

Wei Guogong shook his head, "He doesn't need to worry about this, it's another kid with good knowledge, he has to find a way out."

Wei Guogong has only two grandsons, not to mention He Mingrui, the future heir is a sure thing, and the other one was recognized halfway, and now he is the eldest prince's companion.According to Wei Guogong's tone, he is the second to take the imperial examination, but he is even younger.

"My lord, the courtyard test?"

Duke Wei nodded.

All subordinates: "..." Let's blow it.

Seeing their silence, Wei Guogong raised his eyebrows, "Don't you believe me?"

"How could it be, haha...My lord, it's good to have ambition, and it's good to try it out early."

"Yeah, some people in their [-]s and [-]s are still taking the exam. It's really not easy."

Wei Guogong shrugged his face, snorted, and said to himself, just watch, although He Xichao is brave, he really didn't speak big words.

Just as he was talking, someone reported, "Master Shangshu, there is a Third Young Master Xie outside the yamen asking to see you."

Wei Guogong asked suspiciously, "Your name is Xie?"

"Yes, it is said to be from the Xie Mansion on Liuting Street."

Immediately, not only Wei Guogong, but other adults were also surprised.

These days, there is a lot of emphasis on the distinction between civil and military, and even the residences are clearly separated, with military generals in one lane and literati in one street.

Everyone who lives in Liuting Street is a civil servant, among them Xie's mansion is the most, without him, all men from Xie's family take the imperial examination, there are three Jinshi in one school, there are more than one champions in the ancestors, reading is really engraved in the blood .

Now Mr. Xie Ge is on the top position, he is the important minister that Emperor Tiangan relies on, and he has the title of Prince and Taifu on his head, which is extremely honorable.

The Xie family is so noble, they are the role models of true scholars, and the purest civil servants are incompatible with foreign relatives like Wei Guogong's mansion.

It's really strange that Mr. Xie will come to see you.

Soon Wei Guogong knew why.

Hearing that Xie Sandao understood the purpose of coming, and ordered his servants to bring over a box of books, Wei Guogong finally lost his composure.

He really admired He Xichao, even if he went out to buy a book, he could meet a young master of the Xie family, and even had someone deliver it to his yamen in person!

"Although I shouldn't disturb your lord, it's a pity that the court said that you are his most trusted grandfather, and he will be relieved to leave it to you. I think it's right, so I can only come here presumptuously. Please don't blame me."

The three of Xie saluted and thanked them humanly, but the meaning was very clear.

He Xichao was suppressed in the Duke's mansion, if the book was delivered to the mansion, he would not be able to get it, so he could only ask Duke Wei to make it easier.

What else could Duke Wei say, he could only accept it with a faint smile, "Nephew, don't worry."

He was very sure that this must be He Xichao's idea.

Xie San smiled slightly, "Thank you, my lord. These books were used by my nephew when he was in the hospital examination. He wrote a lot of annotations, including grandfather's annotations. They are all painstaking efforts."

Not to mention those scientific examination books that are rarely circulated outside, even Mr. Xie Ge's annotations are extremely precious, and it would be crazy to snatch them out!

Wei Guogong sighed with emotion at He Xichao's ability, and said sternly: "My nephew loves you so much, I know it, and I will definitely hand it over to him."

"Thank you again, my lord, my nephew is leaving." Halfway through the walk, he turned around and said, "One more thing, Xichao is more interested in a set of books in my house, but it's a pity that I don't want to borrow them out. After the Spring Festival, please return them. The adults will let him come to my house to watch."

Wei Guogong nodded with a smile, but he couldn't speak. He really wanted to go back and ask this evildoer now, what kind of ecstasy soup he had poured into this third son, so that he could visit him at the door.

Xie's mansion is noble, he refuses the rich and powerful, he is very famous!

After Xie Sanyi left, Wei Guogong stroked his beard and ordered people to put the cage into the carriage first, and laughed and cursed: "You bastard, what do you think of this old man?"

This time, none of the subordinates spoke to him.

They didn't know who Xie San was before, but now they all remembered, wasn't that the child prodigy in Xie Ge's hometown who could speak in August, was literate at the age of two, became a poet at the age of three, was admitted as a scholar at the age of 11, and was a prodigy in the [-]th high school? ?

It's just that I was fascinated by foreign things later, and I couldn't let go of my studies, and I haven't taken the Jinshi exam until now.

But no matter how he is now, at least the notes of the college examination back then are really priceless, and it is really enviable that he can give it to He Xichao.

Wei Guogong really didn't talk big.

He Xichao took Ah Fu to Wei Guogong's Sansong Hall to pick up the package.

Seeing Wei Guogong's complacent but trying to suppress the awkward expression on the corner of his mouth, he said, "Laugh if you want to, Bel has face, doesn't he?"

fart!

Wei Guogong pulled his face and reprimanded: "You can't show your family ugliness, how can you say such things to Xie San."

He Xichao raised his eyelids, lowered his face and said, "If you don't make it clear, can he send you there for me? I'm too lazy to pretend to be pitiful and listen to sarcasm from the old lady. After all the hard work, I may not get the things."

"Nonsense, there is an old man..."

"Of course, I can tell you that you can ask for it for me, but I don't want the old lady to know, lest she pay too much attention to my affairs."

Wei Guogong sneered, "You think she doesn't know?"

"If you know it, you will know it. Isn't it because you are here? Just help me block it."

Okay, it's really his words that people talk nonsense, Wei Guogong sighed deeply, his wisdom is so close to a monster, it's all sophistry, and it's not cute at all.

He seemed to feel that Wei Guogong was angry, so He Xichao came to him, poured a cup of tea, and said along Wei Guogong's chest, "Come on, relax, it's just such a small matter, don't bother with me, besides, you are not Have you always wanted to find a teacher for me?"

Wei Guogong took a sip of tea and looked at him immediately, as if asking how you knew.

"Some things, you adults think are too troublesome. I won't fight or grab them. You think I'm cold-blooded and emotionless. You have to grab them. If I fight too much for power, you will definitely think I'm ambitious."

"Humph!"

"Why bother, think about it, my surname is He, my father is He Yu, your own son, what are you worried about?"

It's not worry, it's intuition, Wei Guogong knows it very well.

"So, you found the teacher yourself, Xie San?"

However, He Xichao smiled, shook his head, and said confidently and arrogantly: "It's his grandfather, Mr. Xie Ge."

Wei Guogong didn't speak for a while, he looked at him fixedly and said: "Have ambition."

"Of course, but I haven't seen this legendary Ge Lao whose character and knowledge are as high as a mountain. I don't know if he is worthy of the name and fits the image of a teacher in my mind."

Wei Guogong almost spit out the sip of tea he just drank, he waited for a long time before swallowing the arrogant reprimand, and said: "When you go to visit, you can take a look at the gate of Xie's mansion."

He Xichao was a little confused, "Why?"

"Look at how many scholars stand from morning to night, and don't return when it snows, just waiting at the door, hoping to comment on their articles."

"Chengmen Lixue!" He Xichao was surprised.

"Oh, it's useless to stand for three days and three nights." Although Wei Guogong has no intersection with Xie's family, such a story has long been familiar to people in the capital. It would be an honor for anyone to be accepted by Mr. Xie Ge, "You If I can worship this Ge Lao as my teacher, my grandfather will be satisfied."

He Xichao suddenly thought about it.

"There is one more thing." Wei Guogong said, "The Duke's mansion has been standing for a hundred years, and relatives and friends are everywhere. They will come back after the Chinese New Year. You...recognize it more when the time comes."

He Xichao looked at him with suspicion on his face.

Wei Guogong was immediately displeased and said, "What's your expression?"

"Grandson thought you would let me read quietly in An Yunxuan, don't go out and cause trouble."

Wei Guogong looked away, coughed and said, "Will you listen to me?"

He Xichao replied without thinking, "No."

Wei Guogong sighed inwardly, and he knew it.

"However, don't worry, I don't even bother to deal with the old lady and the others, not to mention some relatives I haven't seen in person. Thinking about it, I know how much they don't want to see me. I'm a fool to find myself unhappy."

Wei Guogong was relieved immediately after hearing this.

He Xichao looked at it carefully, put his face closer with a smile, and said with a low smile: "Old man, are you happy to hear me say that?"

Wei Guogong really has nothing to do with this eccentric grandson, he can only say: "You, just don't embarrass grandpa."

He Xichao hugged Wei Guogong, put his arms around his neck and said: "Heaven and earth conscience, when did my grandson take the initiative to make trouble, it was someone else who provoked me! Grandfather, Xichao couldn't be more well-behaved."

Even if the child does not drink milk, there is a faint fragrance, which is different from the smell that I am getting old and dying.

Holding He Xichao in his arms, Wei Guogong raised his hand and patted him on the back stiffly, and then the pats became smoother and smoother.

The author has something to say: Yao: 80% of boss Wei Guogong's target strategy is completed

He Xichao: Sooner or later.
