A few years ago, Jiang Hong asked his servants to go to Jinling to buy this house in Wenqifang in the east of the city.

In this Jinling City, apart from the land outside the center of the city, the houses in the east of the city are the most expensive. The people here are all rich or noble, so the environment is quieter than that nearby.

However, since Jiang Hong moved in a few days ago, teahouses of all sizes near Wenqifang have become lively.

Everyone wanted to see what this world-renowned Confucian looked like, and of course some people came here to inquire about news at the master's order.

At this time, a tea house not far from Jiang's house had a very good business for several days in a row, especially the private seats on the top floor, because they could see the situation at the door of Jiang's house at a glance, and there were no empty seats.

Now a tea party is being held here. It is said that cooking tea has always been the fashion of the dynasty. Scholars and talents often hold tea parties regularly, invite friends, and choose an elegant place to drink tea and fight tea.

Of course, everyone present here today knows well that they are all ulterior motives.

As the water boils for a second time, the hot water is gradually poured into the powdered tea, and the color of the tea soup gradually emerges after a while, among which the bright white tea foam is the best.

However, the tea soup ordered by most people is very cloudy, even the few people who are usually praised as masters of tea distribution.

Such a situation is really embarrassing, and soon after everyone hastily commented, a few people couldn't help but cut to the point.

"The past few days, Mr. Jiang has closed his door to thank guests, no matter who sent the greeting card. Does he really have no intention of accepting disciples?"

"Who knows, after all, the person who was accepted in front of me is today's Ziweiling. The number one scholar who was handpicked by the emperor's imperial pen back then, won the emperor's heart with his "On Guofu". , Jiang Hong can still think highly of me and other ordinary people?"

As soon as this person finished speaking, it was like pouring cold water on everyone's hearts.

However, there are still some people who are not reconciled: "It's hard to say, haven't you heard of this rumor before? Mr. Jiang and Lu Shuo have long since turned against each other. Mr. Jiang once accused Lu Shuo of being a bad person in public. There is also a rule that the ranking of good and bad should be based on 'virtue, political affairs, language, and literature', among which virtue is the first, one can imagine his intention."

Saying this, everyone couldn't help being a little moved, and some people joked: "When it comes to virtue, don't I do my part?"

After everyone laughed and made a fuss, they thought of one more thing and turned their attention to Wan Tianyun: "Mr. Wan, I heard that your lord visited Mr. Jiang three days ago. I don't know if there is any news."

Wan Tianyun played with a bronzing folding fan in his hand, and said with a bored face: "If I knew, what are you doing here today?"

Speaking of this, Wan Tianyun was still a little dissatisfied. Wan Linming was his father, and so far, the only person who had entered the gate of the Jiang family, but he didn't think about his son at all, and he didn't know how to introduce him.

Of course, Wan Tianyun was just thinking about it. If he was to follow Jiang Hong, who even his father respected very much, would he still have the good life he is now in the future?

Seeing that Wan Tianyun didn't know the inside story, everyone couldn't help being disappointed. At this moment, Wan Tianyun suddenly closed the paper fan with a "slap", and said in a playful tone: "But my father told me that when Jiang Hong arrived in Jinling, he took a closed door. Disciple, as for who that person is, I don't know."

When Wan Linming came back that day, Wan Tianyun naturally wanted to ask. Who knew that Wan Linming only said these things, and watched him suddenly shake his head and look ashamed. Although his father always did this, Wan Tianyun Cloud is still very unhappy.

Could it be that the disciple Jiang Hong took in was a hundred times better than him?

Hearing what Wan Tianyun said, it was like putting a drop of water in hot oil, and it exploded in an instant.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to figure out why this Jiang Hong had already accepted his disciples in just a few days, but these few days, no one else entered or left Jiang's house!

At this time, no one noticed that Wang Jing, who was sitting by the window and sipping tea slowly, suddenly flicked her wrist.

When some tea was spilled, Wang Jing also came back to his senses, his heart sank.

Three months ago, at the poetry meeting, Wang Jing recognized that the alias Zheng Gongzi was the third prince Shao Zhen.

Facing Shao Zhen's personal visit to solicit, Wang Jing's deliberate decision is not surprising. After all, the prince has already had a lot of talents around him, and no matter how hard he catches up, it will be difficult for him to stand out.

It's better to follow Shao Zhen and fight for success in the future.

A few days ago, Shao Zhen sent a letter to ask him to do one thing, that is, to use his mentor, Mr. Zuo Ran, to recommend to Jiang Hong a man he carefully trained.

After Wang Jing asked his mentor to agree, Jiang Hong also accepted the invitation, who knew he was still a step late.

Who is this?

Wang Jing was puzzled, could it be that someone had figured out Jiang Hong's temperament and preferences in advance in Jinling, thousands of miles away from the capital?

It seems that he needs to report this matter to Shao Zhen as soon as possible.

Just when everyone was suspicious, they suddenly saw a carriage driving slowly towards Jiang's residence.

Wait, the emblem on this carriage looks very familiar!

After everyone saw it clearly, they couldn't help laughing, isn't this the Yu family's carriage?It seems that the person sitting on it is Xie Shu!

Since Xie Shu became famous in the poetry meeting a few months ago, some previous impressions have been reversed.

Everyone was sour and envious of Xie Shu, they didn't expect him to have such innumerable benefits from marrying him.

But later, when the incident of the Yu family came out, everyone was convinced that there is no such perfect thing in this world. No matter how rich the Yu family is, it doesn't matter how beautiful the young master is. Who can handle his temperament?

In addition, Xie Shu has never been invited to any gatherings since then, and everyone is even more sure.

After a few months, I didn't expect Xie Shu to finally show up and go straight to the gate of the Jiang Mansion, which naturally made people laugh.

After all, even if the people here are thoughtful, they just send servants to send invitations to try out for a while, so why would they just go up and get rejected!This Xie Shu, really thought that he had some poem titles, so he didn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth?

So everyone stood up and looked out of the window one after another, waiting for a good show!

Immediately afterwards, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Jiang Mansion, and entered the gate unimpeded.

Ten days later, Xie Shu saw Jiang Hong again, and saw that Jiang Hong's attire was completely different from before. He was dressed in a flattering robe, a wide robe and long sandals, showing his demeanor.

Seeing this, Xie Shu was not surprised. He knew Jiang Hong's true identity before he came, so he still respectfully greeted the teacher, and at the same time handed over the gift in his hand: "Mr. , It’s just that that day was really hasty, and I didn’t have time to prepare a gift for my husband, so I went to the door today and specially chose a set of the Four Treasures of the Study with my wife, and hope that my husband will not give it up.”

Jiang Hong didn't show it on his face, but he was somewhat satisfied in his heart.

In fact, before accepting Xie Shu, Jiang Hong knew nothing about Xie Shu except that Xie Shu was the son-in-law of the Yu family from Xuanzhen, and that he was selected as a scholar at the age of 14.

However, Jiang Hong did not expect that there would be a surprise.

His student is not only talented in poetry, but also rare to have a calm mind, calm handling of things, and good at interpretation.

When I saw it today, I was calm and polite, which added a bit of love.

After Jiang Hong asked the boy to accept the gift, he took Xie Shu to the study room he had arranged in the past few days.

When Xie Shu saw the rich collection of ten thousand volumes, he couldn't help but take a breath.

In fact, a few months after coming here, Xie Shu was also collecting some rare ancient books, but even with the strength of the Yu family, it was not easy.Although the early printing and papermaking techniques appeared in this era, they were not popularized. If ordinary literati want to read books, they still mainly copy books. Copying a book often costs hundreds of cash to buy paper and pens. , not to mention the time and effort involved.

Rare ancient books are even more of a luxury item, with very little trading volume and little circulation.

At this time, Jiang Hong looked around with his hands behind his back, and muttered mockingly to himself: "The past 20 years, my work is not in vain..."

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Hong changed the subject again, his gaze sharpened suddenly, he looked directly into Xie Shu's eyes and said, "Do you know why I accepted you as a disciple?"
