Datang Institute of Technology
Chapter 84
Xu Changsheng stood in front of the Pei family's mansion, surrounded by quite a lot of people watching.
Xu Changsheng felt that he was almost a star in Chang'an, a little fresh meat, very tender, bah, he relied on his talent for a living rather than his face.
Go up and knock on the door.
The housekeeper who opened the door actually knew Xu Changsheng, and he was there on the way back to Chang'an that day.
Hurrying to welcome Xu Changsheng in, the butler said, "Master Xingjian is not here, Xu Jiazi sit down for a while."
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, he didn't come to look for Pei Xingjian, he came to fool Mr. Pei with love.
He hurriedly said, "I don't know if Mr. Pei is at home, but Chang Sheng came here specially to see Mr. Pei this time."
The butler was taken aback, and yes, it is reasonable for Xu Jiazi to come to visit the old man.
He replied, "Xu Jiazi sit down first, I will inform the old man right away."
Xu Changsheng didn't have to wait long before Pei Ju came.
Pei Ju's rich life experience is rare in this world.
He even participated in the battle of the Sui Dynasty against Chen, and crusade against Lingnan, Liaodong, and Turks.
He successively played for Yu Wenhuaji, Dou Jiande, etc., and finally fell to Tang under the general trend.
Therefore, the dynasties and things that Pei Ju has experienced make his thoughts rarely be disturbed by external things, and he has his own set of philosophies in dealing with things.
Mr. Pei estimated that he has reached the state of not being happy with things but not sad with himself.
Therefore, it is conceivable how difficult it is to persuade Mr. Pei to teach at such an old age.
Xu Changsheng is Pei Xingjian's classmate, and he saved Bao'er. Mr. Pei still has a very good impression of Xu Changsheng.
Seeing Mr. Pei coming in, Xu Changsheng hurriedly got up and saluted, "Changsheng came here uninvited, I'm bothering Mr. Pei."
Pei Ju smiled, "The young people nowadays are very polite, unlike the scholars of our generation, who always went to the battlefield with a book in one hand and a knife in the other, very arrogant."
Xu Changsheng: "..."
Mr. Pei lived in troubled times, and the scholars at that time were indeed a little different from those of today. It was common for scholars to go to battle to kill the enemy, unlike today's civil servants and generals who are clearly distinguished and pay attention to a strategic plan.
Hearing Mr. Pei's angry voice, Xu Changsheng felt more at ease.
Pei Ju continued, "Xu Jiazi sit down first. You and Xingjian are classmates, and you saved Bao'er before. Speaking of which, you are kind to my Pei family. You don't have to be too formal when you come to me."
Xu Changsheng replied, "How dare you."
Let him be informal and think he is stupid. If he dares to spread the word, he will not be pointed at his nose and scolded.
Pei Ju asked someone to serve tea and some snacks, and then said, "I heard that you are here to find this old man?"
Recently, many juniors in the literary world came to him, but he refused because he was too old. Otherwise, the front door would not be as deserted as it is now, and there would have been an endless stream. He likes to be quiet now, and he doesn't want to suffer from these bumps.
When Xu Changsheng entered the mansion just now, seeing the quiet scene in the courtyard outside, he could probably guess a little bit about Mr. Pei's current situation.
He is preparing to enjoy the happiness of life, enjoy family happiness, and spend the last stage of his life.
This is difficult, and it is even more difficult to get Mr. Pei out of the mountain.
Hearing Mr. Pei's question, Xu Changsheng replied, "Mr. Pei comes to Chang'an, so Changsheng must come to see him no matter what."
Pei Ju took an interesting look at Xu Changsheng. This kid is a cunning guy. He is obviously Xingjian's classmate, but he first pretends to be an old man, so there must be something wrong.
Pei Ju didn't point it out, and chatted without saying a word.
He had heard some things about the Xu family before, but it was a long time ago, more than ten years, and now that he entered Chang'an, he heard a lot about Xu Changsheng.
To be honest, he had never met anyone in his life, but he couldn't understand the Xu family.
Xu Jiazi's talent, it can be said that even if he goes back to the past dynasties, there are very few people who can stand up to him. If he hadn't suddenly disappeared for more than ten years due to physical reasons, with his original development speed, I am afraid that everyone in the world would not know Xu Jiazi.
It stands to reason that such a talented person must have great ambitions.
But... Xu Jiazi doesn't.
Look at Xu Jiazi's present, he doesn't even have a serious official status, and he is still a nominal subordinate official who manages the subordinates for the East Palace.
So things are a little weird.
Pei Ju looked at Xu Jiazi, and asked nonchalantly, "Now it is rumored outside that you have improved the papermaking process, and soon scholars in the Tang Dynasty will not have to worry about being unable to afford paper. I don't know what Xu Jiazi is planning for such a great contribution." What kind of official position do you want to ask His Majesty? With the help of the crown prince, His Majesty will agree as long as it is not too much."
Looking for an official position?
Xu Changsheng trembled when he heard the words, how hard it was for him to resign from the office.
After he returned to the Prince's Mansion, Li Er specially asked his father-in-law to ask him if he was in good health, implying that when he was well, he would come to court as soon as possible.
He was so scared that he didn't get out of bed for several days, so he told Li Er that he was seriously ill.
Knowing that he has been in Chang'an for so long, why hasn't Li Er summoned him yet?
It was because of this that Li Er was so angry that he blew his nose and stared for several days, and he still hasn't calmed down.
Li Er belongs to the kind of person who loves and cherishes talents very much, even if he admires the talented people of the enemy, this makes countless people join him. How can he not be angry if he refuses to enter the court.
Seeing Xu Changsheng's reaction, Pei Ju was a little surprised. He was just asking a question tentatively. He didn't expect that Xu Jiazi was really resisting becoming an official in the court.
Among the scholars in the world, which one does not want to succeed in their studies and sell them to the emperor's family, Xu Jiazi is unique.
Xu Changsheng replied, "Changsheng has little talent and knowledge, so he can't be an official."
Pei Ju: "..."
Someone believe it?
Pei Ju snorted, and if others couldn't say it, he would persuade Xu Jiazi a few words, but he has experienced too much, and many things are different from ordinary people's ideas.
Thoughtfully, he said, "I don't know what Xu Jiazi's ambition is?"
Xu Changsheng replied, "Changsheng has no ambitions, and now I just want to let my college start smoothly."
Pei Ju frowned, "Other than that?"
Xu Changsheng smiled, "Does the old man think that the ambition of longevity is too short?"
Pei Ju didn't deny it either, "Having the talent to manage the world but not making progress, in the eyes of others, it's very different."
Xu Changsheng's eyes flickered. After chatting for so long, it should be time to get down to business.
Xu Changsheng raised his head suddenly, his eyes sparkled, "The old man's words are wrong. Does it mean that even the old man thinks that Changsheng's college is not as important as entering the imperial court and being an official? Changsheng is so disappointed."
Let's see him come up with a radical method first.
Pei Ju was stunned, why did Xu Jiazi get excited all of a sudden, the light in his eyes could illuminate everything, he was so startled that he didn't even react.
Hearing the words, he was also taken aback, "Oh, tell me, why is your academy more important than being an official in the court? There are countless Tang Academy, so it's not bad for you, right?"
Xu Changsheng raised his head, his nostrils turned to the sky, he had to get the old man to be interested in his academy first, and said, "Although there are many academies in Datang, there is only one academy in Changsheng, which is unique. Hongwenguan, Chongwenguan, Guozijian, and Changsheng colleges are also incomparable."
Xu Changsheng looked at Mr. Pei, and said word by word, "Changsheng's college must be the first college in the Tang Dynasty."
Pei Ju: "..."
Datang First Academy?What a big tone.
A college that has not yet started enrolling students actually said that the three highest colleges in the Tang Dynasty are not as good as it.
Where did the Xu family get their confidence?
Pei Ju looked at Xu Changsheng, it was the first time he had seen him so wildly.
By the way, Xu Jiazi does have the title of mad student.
"Young students, you need to know whether it is Hongwenguan, Chongwenguan, or Guozijian, which one of the teachers who teach is not a great Confucian from Hongmen, and basically has more than half of the teaching staff in the Tang Dynasty." Pei Ju said, half vigilant, half admonishing, If Xu Jiazi's arrogant words are spread, they will not be criticized.
In addition to being a little crazy, this young man still likes it, and as an elder, he should wake up a bit.
Xu Changsheng looked at Mr. Pei, "Hongwen Hall, Chongwen Hall, and Guozijian have indeed occupied most of the teaching staff of the Tang Dynasty, but the students they teach can make the people of the Tang Dynasty eat cheap oil like Changsheng... ...Let the people of Tang Dynasty afford white granulated sugar...Let paper be popular all over the world..."
Xu Changsheng said it with sonorous force, one by one.
Pei Ju opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but these are the facts, and he said after a while, "But there is only one son of the Xu family, Xu Changsheng, which doesn't mean that your academy is better than the others."
Xu Changsheng smiled, "There is only one son of the Xu family, Xu Changsheng? No, as long as my academy is built, there will be more people like me in Datang in the future."
Without waiting for Mr. Pei's reaction, Xu Changsheng continued, "Grandpa thinks that Changsheng has enough things that benefit the country and the people? But Changsheng wants to say that after the students of my college graduate, they will research more beneficial things. Things that benefit the country and the people, and even researched things that even Changsheng admired. Those of Changsheng are just a drop in the ocean. In Changsheng's view, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty has not even reached the well-off. The Tang Dynasty is pushing towards a truly prosperous and prosperous age, but can the students from Hongwenguan, Chongwenguan, and Guozijian teach it? Could it be that the Tang Dynasty has an unprecedented prosperity, and my college can’t be called the first college of the Tang Dynasty?”
Pei Ju was irritated by Xu Changsheng's imaginative words, "Datang has not even reached Xiaokang yet? You should explain to the old man, what is Xiaokang in your heart?"
Xiaokang comes from "The Book of Songs Daya Minilao", which refers to a slightly more comfortable life.
The current Datang, in his opinion, is already considered very remarkable, and Xu Jiazi actually said that he can't even reach a well-off life.
I haven't seen the prosperity of later generations, but my life now is really amazing.
But in Xu Changsheng's view, all the people are running around to eat a full meal, which is not considered well-off.
Xu Changsheng said word by word, "Well-off, from Changsheng's point of view, the most basic requirement is that everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone can afford medical care, everyone has a house to live in, and everyone has education. The young are taught, the old are supported..."
Xu Changsheng's voice shocked Pei Ju.
This is the most basic?
This kind of life, in Pei Ju's view, is already an unprecedented prosperity.
But, in the eyes of the Xu family, it's just a well-off life?
Xu Changsheng continued, "As long as my academy is established and the students of the academy spread all over the Tang Dynasty, it will not be difficult to achieve. Does Mr. Pei still think that it is better to be an official in the court than to open an academy?"
Pei Ju was still immersed in Xu Changsheng's "well-off" life, and reacted after hearing this.
Ordinary people would have been confused by Xu Changsheng shouting slogans like the leader of a cult, but Pei Ju was different.
Said, "This is just your imagination, how can you prove that you can do it?"
Even though I said that, I was shocked in my heart. I don’t know how many people will be full of longing for this imagination alone.
Datang also came through the chaos of war, and the shocking tragedies before did not pass long.
In the eyes of some old people, the era of selling children and daughters for food is just like yesterday.
So what Xu Changsheng said was not well-off, it was something they couldn't believe for the rest of their lives.
Xu Changsheng's eyes lit up. After talking so much, Mr. Pei finally started to take the bait, and he was exhausted.
Xu Changsheng continued, looking a little angry, but in fact he was pretending, and said, "Mr. Pei doesn't go and see for himself, how do you know that the academy where you can't achieve longevity is there, and you can't escape, right?"
Come on, Mr. Pei, the academy welcomes you.
Pei Ju was very angry, "Well, you are a crazy student from the Xu family. I have heard of your fantastical "Tales of the Tang Dynasty Boys". It has no substance, I didn't expect you to drum up a self-righteous well-off life now, you can confuse others, but you can't confuse this old man."
When Xu Changsheng saw that Pei Ju was getting agitated, he was overjoyed. He was afraid that Mr. Pei would be too calm.
Xu Changsheng continued to brag about his academy, but he just sighed in his heart. After today, his reputation as a mad student might become even louder.
"Old man, you are a great literary star, how can you deny it without witnessing it?"
Watch him instantly turn into a small gangster, and gang up on the old man to the academy.
The two insisted on their own words, and their voices became louder and louder.
Even the housekeeper and servants outside the room could hear clearly.
I was terrified to hear it.
Is what Xu Jiazi said true?That well-off life is too incredible.
However, even the old man thinks it's unreal, Xu Jiazi must be just arrogant and self-righteous, right?
But... I really want to go to that academy to witness it as Xu Jiazi said.
When Pei Xingjian came back, he was shocked.
Why did his grandfather "quarrel" with Xu Jiazi?Listen, how loud it is, he heard it from a long distance away.
But, that's not very possible, is it?
With his grandfather's personality, no matter what, it was impossible to quarrel with a young man like this.
He was a little curious as to how Xu Jiazi did it.
Hastily walked to the room.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw his grandfather blowing his nose and staring with anger.
On the other side, Xu Jiazi was triumphant.
Pei Xingjian: "..."
What is this scenario?
As soon as Pei Xingjian came in, Pei Ju shouted, "Pack my luggage, I have to go to Xu Kuangsheng's academy to see how the No. [-] Academy of the Tang Dynasty can teach students who can lead the Tang Dynasty to a well-off life, if not In fact, the old man must teach him a lesson."
Pei Xingjian: "..."
Didn't my grandfather say that he came to Chang'an to live a simple life, why is he still going to the academy now?
Xu Changsheng was overjoyed.
This is what he was waiting for.
Standing up neatly, he made a big salute, "In this way, the academy welcomes Mr. Pei. Mr. Pei's theory is unparalleled in the world, so please trouble Mr. Pei to be the teacher of the theory department of our academy."
After speaking, he blinked his eyes.
Pei Ju was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly calmed down, and after thinking about it, he understood what the purpose of the Xu family's making such a big circle was.
He heard that Xu Jiazi was looking for a teacher for his college, but he never thought that Xu Jiazi would dare to attract his attention, but now...
Pei Ju's mouth twitched, "Okay... okay you Xu family."
He was also defenseless, so he slowly fell into Xu's trap.
Jumping down little by little without knowing it.
Pei Ju's forehead was a bit dark. He didn't expect that Lao Lai would be tricked by a young man, and it was this young man who saved his Bao'er, so he didn't have any precautions. Who knew that the other party was actually digging a hole for him.
Xu Changsheng was very "ashamed", "The old man just promised to go to the academy."
Pei Ju: "..."
At that time, he was a little excited by a young junior, so when he saw Pei Xingjian coming in, he said that sentence naturally.
Now the words are out.
Pei Ju looked at Xu Changsheng, "So what you said about living a well-off life is a lie? It's just your romantic imagination."
Xu Jiazi is good at romantic creation, and he has heard a little bit about it.
Xu Changsheng hurriedly performed a deep courtesy, and said, "Although Changsheng was Meng Lang just now, he didn't dare to expire the old gentleman on this kind of thing. Changsheng urges the old gentleman to go to the academy to witness how the students taught by the Changsheng Academy are doing. To realize a real well-off life."
Pei Ju narrowed his eyes. Judging from Xu Jiazi's attitude, he didn't seem to be lying.
After a long time, he sighed, "That's all right, if it's as you said, why not go and have a look? If I can really witness the well-off life in your mouth for the rest of my life, let alone go to your college, even if I let the old man go to what kind of poverty?" It’s okay to be in the countryside.”
Pei Xingjian was stunned. His grandfather was all about retiring, but now he was persuaded by the Xu family to teach?
God, the sun is out in the west.
Pei Xingjian was about to persuade him that his grandfather was old after all.
Xu Changsheng hurriedly said, "Don't worry about being frugal. Xujia Village is not far from Chang'an, and the road is very flat, and it can't be called bumpy. There is actually no obstacle for the old man to go back to Chang'an. In addition, my college The environment is not Changsheng boasting, even ten Chang'an can't match it."
Pei Ju: "..."
Pei Xingjian: "..."
Chang'an is the financial and political center of Datang, and Xu Jiazi is not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue.
Xu Changsheng continued, "Mr. Pei must have never been to Xujia Village when he first came to Chang'an, but now everyone is saying that if you come to Chang'an and don't go to Xujia Village, then you will be in vain."
Pei Xingjian thought about it, his grandfather could indeed go to Xujia Village to take a look, it was a magical place different from any place in Datang.
A great writer like Pei Ju is actually very interested in these places. He originally planned to go to the wonderful Xujia Village that everyone said was wonderful after he settled down.
Seeing that his grandfather had already made up his mind, Pei Xingjian had no choice. His grandfather always had his own opinion, and no one else could interfere.
He just glanced at Xu Changsheng with some resentment.
What a classmate, you dare to fight against his grandfather's idea.
Pei Ju also took a look at Xu Changsheng. He didn't want Xu's son to become an official in the court. He could be tricked at a young age. If he was diligent and diligent, he would be a blessing to the court. There will be a bloodbath.
In particular, he has also heard a little about the relationship between Xu Jiazi and the crown prince. If Xu Jiazi tried his best to help the crown prince deal with dissidents, and his methods were a little more ruthless, I'm afraid...the court may not be impossible to be in turmoil.
After all, Mr. Pei is old, out of respect, Xu Changsheng will definitely send Mr. Pei to Xujia Village himself.
Along with him are Pei Xingjian, the housekeeper and servants. Mr. Pei lives alone in the college, and Pei Xingjian will definitely not feel at ease. The housekeeper and servants are there to take care of him.
As soon as Xu Changsheng and his party came out, they attracted the attention of the surrounding Chang'an people.
A group of people were confused, "What's the situation? Why did Xu Jiazi come out with Mr. Pei, and even packed up and saluted. Are they going to Xujia Village?"
Just now they were still guessing whether Xu Jiazi was outrageously trying to get Mr. Pei's idea.
Now this posture...
But doesn't it mean that Mr. Pei is devoted to taking care of the elderly and doesn't care about worldly affairs?
Someone who was acquainted with the servants of Pei's family couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Where is your old man going?"
The servant whispered, "Of course I will go to Xu Jiazi's academy. The old man has already agreed to Xu Jiazi's invitation to go to the academy to teach policy theory."
There is nothing to hide about this, anyway, as soon as the academy starts, everything will be known.
A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and there was an uproar.
How could Xu Jiazi be able to invite Mr. Pei?
Mr. Pei is a leading figure in the literary world, even if it is the Hongwen Museum, Chongwen Museum, or Guozijian, it is impossible to invite him.
Therefore, the degree of surprise can be imagined.
There was a lot of discussion, "How did Xu Jiazi persuade Mr. Pei?"
"It's totally impossible."
The corner of Mr. Pei's mouth twitched too. To be honest, before coming to Chang'an, he never thought that this would be the case. Even he found it unbelievable, let alone other people.
After getting into the carriage, the carriage drove out of the city.
The Patriarch of the Pei family left, and the people of Chang'an rushed up and surrounded the servants of the Pei family, "Tell us quickly, what's going on, if you don't tell us, you are not allowed to leave."
Servant: "..."
They also listened outside for a while, but they could hear the Xu family's well-off life clearly, like thunder.
They were so emotional that they couldn't calm down now. When someone asked, they couldn't help but say a few words excitedly.
"Our old man went to Xu Jiazi's college to witness whether the well-off life that Xu Jiazi talked about can be realized."
"The Xu family's well-off life? It's the people of my Tang Dynasty. In the future, everyone will have food to eat, everyone will have clothes to wear, everyone will be able to see a doctor, everyone will have a house to live in, everyone will have education, children will be educated, and the old will be educated." have something to rely on..."
"Xu Jiazi said that the students taught by his academy can bring Datang into a well-off life."
"Xu Jiazi said that his academy is the First Academy of the Tang Dynasty, and Hongwenguan Chongwenguan Guozijian has to stand aside."
"Xu Jiazi said that it's meaningless to be an official. It's better to develop his academy."
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, what a Xu Kuangsheng.
Could it be that he used these longings to trap Mr. Pei?
In Pei Ju's capacity, the news of going to Xu's academy to teach quickly spread throughout Chang'an as if he had grown wings.
Along with this news, there were also Xu Changsheng's wild words.
The news also reached the palace.
Li Shimin's face turned blue with anger.
Not long ago, someone was sent to tell Xu Jiazi to go back to the court and become an official, but Xu Jiazi pretended to be sick and refused.
I thought that Xu Jiazi was really seriously ill, so I sent someone to inquire about it, but... Xu Jiazi danced so badly that he almost went to the house to expose the tiles, causing the whole Chang'an to stir up trouble.
He was so angry that his face turned black for several days.
After finally feeling better, he was going to wait a few days before getting someone to whip the Xu family, but he didn't expect this to happen.
What official?Why not develop his academy?
Li Shimin was so angry that his teeth were itching. While exaggerating his academy, he didn't forget to step on him.
However, the well-off life of the Xu family really shocked people, even for him, it was difficult to restrain his excitement for a while.
He muttered to himself, "I don't know if what Xu Jiazi said is true or not? It's no wonder that even Pei Ju didn't resist the temptation and ran to witness."
Xu Jiazi's well-off life, will he have such a day in Datang?
Li Shimin hesitated, Xu Jiazi is too evil, if it really comes true?
But he was a little reluctant to let Xu Jiazi go to his academy for a day and not come to court to solve his problems.
Li Shimin thought, he had to think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
……
Xu Changsheng was sending Mr. Pei to Xujia Village.
He didn't know that in Chang'an, Xu Kuangsheng's name became even more resounding.
But more people are immersed in the imagination of a well-off life that Xu Changsheng said.
Now that Xu Jiazi's academy has Pei Ju joining, who knows how many feats and aristocratic families can't sit still, they have to find out what is the admissions process of Xu Jiazi's academy.
The wind is surging.
Before Xu Changsheng and the others arrived at Xujia Village, the eldest grandfather, Yan Wenshu and Ouyang Xun had already come out to welcome them.
The uncle of the Xu family brought the news that Pei Ju was coming to the academy back to Xujia Village.
The great grandfather, Yan Wenshu, and Ouyang Xun greeted him happily. Even the great grandfather was not as senior as Pei Ju. When the great grandfather was still studying, Pei Ju's literary name had spread all over the world.
Happiness is happiness, but the look at Xu Changsheng is not very friendly.
Except for the great grandfather, they... were all tricked by Xu Changsheng.
Xu Changsheng was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to speak loudly, he was short of breath.
Hey, it's not that easy to build a college, even the teacher has to use some means to do it.
But he didn't feel embarrassed for long, because Pei Ju was the first to come to Xujia Village.
He knew very well what would happen to a person who came to Xujia Village for the first time, and there would be no one to monitor him.
Pei Ju was really shocked. He had long heard that Xujia Village was truly the most prosperous place in the Tang Dynasty, unlike any place in the Tang Dynasty.
He always thought it was an exaggeration, how could there be a more prosperous place than Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty.
Literati, always like to sublimate the facts and make them more literary.
But he didn't expect that Xujiacun was even more surprising than he had imagined.
Is this still a village?
The excitement was unimaginable.
The tourists in Xujia Village are continuous every day, so the bustling and prosperous is no worse than Chang'an.
Pei Ju thought of something and looked up.
Sure enough, I saw a team of hang gliders flying in the sky, as well as several big hot air balloons.
He has been in Chang'an for a few days, and he has heard about these things.
However, even if he was prepared in his heart, he couldn't help but be extremely surprised.
Sure enough, there are people flying in the sky in Xujia Village all the time, which is really amazing.
The great grandfather and the others also smiled. They find this kind of scene very novel every day.
Watching a group of people flying above their heads every day is a very strange feeling, but it seems to be like this, and there is an indescribable sense of contradiction.
Pei Ju looked at it for a long time, and then said, "No wonder everyone said that if you come to Chang'an and don't go to Xujia Village, you are here for nothing. This is true."
Such an experience was also the first time in his life.
Xu Changsheng smiled, and he will get used to it after looking at it more. Anyway, people fly in the sky of Xujia Village every day, and the business of the hang gliding base and hot air balloon base is very good.
It took Pei Ju a long time to look back, but he found some differences.
On the wide road, only their carriage was driving in the middle, and everyone else walked on both sides.
Is it to welcome him and prevent people from walking in the middle?
I couldn't help but say, "Formalism is not good, why don't people walk on such a wide and good road?"
There are so many tourists, but they only walk on both sides, which looks a bit crowded.
Xu Changsheng: "..."
Grandfather: "..."
Xu Changsheng was about to answer, when the fast-moving cycling team passed by.
Pei Ju was surprised again, "Why do they only drive on the side road? The road is so wide, how comfortable it is to run around."
He knows the bicycles, and the bicycles are sold anywhere in Datang Shidao. In addition to the streets of Chang'an, people ride bicycles everywhere.
Xu Changsheng: "..."
Grandfather: "..."
Pei Xingjian was embarrassed, and quickly explained, "Grandfather, there are a lot of people coming and going in Xujia Village, so for the sake of safety, strict rules have been formulated, such as the roads that people walk are called sidewalks, and carriages and bicycles are not allowed to go up. In the same way, people are not allowed to enter the lanes where horse-drawn carriages and bicycles run. Just now, the lanes where bicycles run are dedicated bicycle lanes. You can see how fast they ride, and they don’t have to worry about bumping into people, because no one will enter their dedicated lanes. Now we The same is true for this road, except for horse-drawn carriages, others will not enter, so that horse-drawn carriages or other goods can run fast, and it seems that there is restraint, but it is more efficient."
Pei Ju was stunned. It's really strange that there is such a rule.
He looked at it for a while, and there were white lines drawn on the ground, as Pei Xingjian said, they were all on their own paths, very well behaved.
At this time, he saw something strange again. Someone was wearing a red sleeve on his sleeve, which was very conspicuous. He was holding a flag in his hand, and he seemed to be patrolling everywhere, which was different from tourists at first glance.
Can't help but ask, "What are they doing?"
Pei Xingjian said, "They are road dredgers. There are many strangers who come to Xujia Village every day. Some people don't know the road rules of Xujia Village. They are responsible for explaining to people and always watching for accidents."
Pei Ju nodded, which was very strange.
Not long after, their carriage stopped in the middle of the road.
Pei Ju was taken aback, it's not good to stop in the middle of the road like this, wouldn't it stop the car behind?
Without waiting for Pei Ju to ask, Pei Xingjian said, "Grandfather, please look at the zebra crossing ahead. There is also the person in charge of traffic. Now is the time for pedestrians to cross the road through the zebra crossing. Horse-drawn carriages are not allowed to pass."
Sure enough, Pei Ju saw someone commanding ahead, and a group of people began to cross the carriageway that was empty just now.
Pei Ju: "..."
I was curious to look around, and Pei Xingjian explained next to me.
Seeing Pei Xingjian explaining, Xu Changsheng felt at ease. After more than ten years of development, Xujia Village still has many differences.
But they are all well-behaved and develop according to the rules.
The carriage traveled another way and then stopped.
Pei Xingjian said, "There are more tourists in front, and it is also where Xujia Village's residence is. For safety, no car can enter. We need to get out of the car and walk."
Pei Ju nodded and got out of the car. Sure enough, the crowds were getting denser and it was indeed inconvenient to drive.
After getting out of the car, he found something different again. The road just now was a cement road, but now the road under his feet is a red brick road.
Perhaps no longer suitable for carriage, but more suitable for walking.
The streets are full of tourists strolling in groups of three or five.
It was obviously a little noisy because of the crowd, but he felt a kind of leisure in the noise.
Pei Ju observed with his eyes, even though he had such a rich life experience, his cognition was refreshed by new things now.
In all his experiences, he has never met even a city or a village like this one.
This is life.
but……
Pei Ju frowned and said, "It's indeed bustling and eye-opening, but is it a bit more lively? This place is used for teaching, and students might not be able to calm down and study?"
Pei Xingjian didn't know how to answer this time, because he had never been to the academy.
Xu Changsheng hurriedly said, "Old man, this is Xujia Village. Changsheng once promised that Xujia Village is a place open to the outside world and a place for tourism. Of course, it seems a bit more lively. However, the college is not here, and the college is not for outsiders. It’s open, don’t worry, it’s quiet, it’s definitely a good place to learn.”
Pei Ju just nodded.
Then he glanced at Xu Changsheng again.
I heard that the entire Xujia Village was built by Xu Jiazi. At that time... he was only four years old.
He is really a monster, but the good thing is that what he does is beneficial to this era.
I can't imagine, if he is a monster...
He has seen too many people who are demons, so he will inevitably think more.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head, this era is the era of young people, the future depends on them, it's useless for him to worry about it.
However, it's good to stay next to this evildoer and look at it.
Said, "Take me to the academy first."
Since he agreed to come to the academy to teach, he must be familiar with the environment first.
Xu Changsheng nodded, "Changsheng has already arranged the old gentleman's residence, so let's take the old gentleman there."
Pei Xingjian frowned. Since he said that the college is quiet, in his mind, the quiet place must be very difficult. His grandfather is old and can't stand the trouble.
Later, he would tell Xu's family son that it would be fine to let his grandfather live in Xu's village. The conditions in Xu's village are convenient. Although it is a little more lively, it is also a rare place for the elderly.
However, when the group came to the academy, Pei Xingjian threw his thoughts somewhere.
"This... this is the academy where I want to teach"
Even if it was Mr. Pei's words, his face changed in surprise.
Pei Xingjian was also speechless.
What is the floor covering?
It was crystal clear, like jade, and couldn't help asking, "Xu Jiazi, you...wouldn't you have paved the entire academy floor with expensive jade?"
Look at the crystal-clear ground, except for jade, he really doesn't know what kind of stone can make it look like this.
Jade paving?
It exists just like a myth. In the myth, doesn’t it mean that the place where the gods live is carved with carved railings and jade?
Looking up, all the houses are really made of jade, exuding a soft light in the sun.
Even Mr. Pei couldn't help swallowing his saliva. What kind of academy is here? It's simply a huge and extremely gorgeous fairy palace.
Yes, it is definitely an fairy palace standing on the top of the mountain, and it satisfies all the world's fantasies about fairy palaces.
Yan Wenshu and Ouyang Xun looked at each other, they could all guess what Mr. Pei was thinking now, because when they first came, they had the same thoughts.
Even now, they are still a little dazed, this is actually a college, and they are teaching here.
Like a legend.
Xu Changsheng smiled, "Is the old man satisfied with this academy?"
After finishing speaking, he said, "Old man, the ground and the walls of the house you see are not made of jade. No matter how rich Xujia Village is, it is impossible to use jade to pave the floor so exaggeratedly."
"Can……"
Xu Changsheng said again, "This is a kind of ceramic tile, just a product of our Xujia Village."
Pei Ju:
Xu Changsheng felt that he was almost a star in Chang'an, a little fresh meat, very tender, bah, he relied on his talent for a living rather than his face.
Go up and knock on the door.
The housekeeper who opened the door actually knew Xu Changsheng, and he was there on the way back to Chang'an that day.
Hurrying to welcome Xu Changsheng in, the butler said, "Master Xingjian is not here, Xu Jiazi sit down for a while."
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, he didn't come to look for Pei Xingjian, he came to fool Mr. Pei with love.
He hurriedly said, "I don't know if Mr. Pei is at home, but Chang Sheng came here specially to see Mr. Pei this time."
The butler was taken aback, and yes, it is reasonable for Xu Jiazi to come to visit the old man.
He replied, "Xu Jiazi sit down first, I will inform the old man right away."
Xu Changsheng didn't have to wait long before Pei Ju came.
Pei Ju's rich life experience is rare in this world.
He even participated in the battle of the Sui Dynasty against Chen, and crusade against Lingnan, Liaodong, and Turks.
He successively played for Yu Wenhuaji, Dou Jiande, etc., and finally fell to Tang under the general trend.
Therefore, the dynasties and things that Pei Ju has experienced make his thoughts rarely be disturbed by external things, and he has his own set of philosophies in dealing with things.
Mr. Pei estimated that he has reached the state of not being happy with things but not sad with himself.
Therefore, it is conceivable how difficult it is to persuade Mr. Pei to teach at such an old age.
Xu Changsheng is Pei Xingjian's classmate, and he saved Bao'er. Mr. Pei still has a very good impression of Xu Changsheng.
Seeing Mr. Pei coming in, Xu Changsheng hurriedly got up and saluted, "Changsheng came here uninvited, I'm bothering Mr. Pei."
Pei Ju smiled, "The young people nowadays are very polite, unlike the scholars of our generation, who always went to the battlefield with a book in one hand and a knife in the other, very arrogant."
Xu Changsheng: "..."
Mr. Pei lived in troubled times, and the scholars at that time were indeed a little different from those of today. It was common for scholars to go to battle to kill the enemy, unlike today's civil servants and generals who are clearly distinguished and pay attention to a strategic plan.
Hearing Mr. Pei's angry voice, Xu Changsheng felt more at ease.
Pei Ju continued, "Xu Jiazi sit down first. You and Xingjian are classmates, and you saved Bao'er before. Speaking of which, you are kind to my Pei family. You don't have to be too formal when you come to me."
Xu Changsheng replied, "How dare you."
Let him be informal and think he is stupid. If he dares to spread the word, he will not be pointed at his nose and scolded.
Pei Ju asked someone to serve tea and some snacks, and then said, "I heard that you are here to find this old man?"
Recently, many juniors in the literary world came to him, but he refused because he was too old. Otherwise, the front door would not be as deserted as it is now, and there would have been an endless stream. He likes to be quiet now, and he doesn't want to suffer from these bumps.
When Xu Changsheng entered the mansion just now, seeing the quiet scene in the courtyard outside, he could probably guess a little bit about Mr. Pei's current situation.
He is preparing to enjoy the happiness of life, enjoy family happiness, and spend the last stage of his life.
This is difficult, and it is even more difficult to get Mr. Pei out of the mountain.
Hearing Mr. Pei's question, Xu Changsheng replied, "Mr. Pei comes to Chang'an, so Changsheng must come to see him no matter what."
Pei Ju took an interesting look at Xu Changsheng. This kid is a cunning guy. He is obviously Xingjian's classmate, but he first pretends to be an old man, so there must be something wrong.
Pei Ju didn't point it out, and chatted without saying a word.
He had heard some things about the Xu family before, but it was a long time ago, more than ten years, and now that he entered Chang'an, he heard a lot about Xu Changsheng.
To be honest, he had never met anyone in his life, but he couldn't understand the Xu family.
Xu Jiazi's talent, it can be said that even if he goes back to the past dynasties, there are very few people who can stand up to him. If he hadn't suddenly disappeared for more than ten years due to physical reasons, with his original development speed, I am afraid that everyone in the world would not know Xu Jiazi.
It stands to reason that such a talented person must have great ambitions.
But... Xu Jiazi doesn't.
Look at Xu Jiazi's present, he doesn't even have a serious official status, and he is still a nominal subordinate official who manages the subordinates for the East Palace.
So things are a little weird.
Pei Ju looked at Xu Jiazi, and asked nonchalantly, "Now it is rumored outside that you have improved the papermaking process, and soon scholars in the Tang Dynasty will not have to worry about being unable to afford paper. I don't know what Xu Jiazi is planning for such a great contribution." What kind of official position do you want to ask His Majesty? With the help of the crown prince, His Majesty will agree as long as it is not too much."
Looking for an official position?
Xu Changsheng trembled when he heard the words, how hard it was for him to resign from the office.
After he returned to the Prince's Mansion, Li Er specially asked his father-in-law to ask him if he was in good health, implying that when he was well, he would come to court as soon as possible.
He was so scared that he didn't get out of bed for several days, so he told Li Er that he was seriously ill.
Knowing that he has been in Chang'an for so long, why hasn't Li Er summoned him yet?
It was because of this that Li Er was so angry that he blew his nose and stared for several days, and he still hasn't calmed down.
Li Er belongs to the kind of person who loves and cherishes talents very much, even if he admires the talented people of the enemy, this makes countless people join him. How can he not be angry if he refuses to enter the court.
Seeing Xu Changsheng's reaction, Pei Ju was a little surprised. He was just asking a question tentatively. He didn't expect that Xu Jiazi was really resisting becoming an official in the court.
Among the scholars in the world, which one does not want to succeed in their studies and sell them to the emperor's family, Xu Jiazi is unique.
Xu Changsheng replied, "Changsheng has little talent and knowledge, so he can't be an official."
Pei Ju: "..."
Someone believe it?
Pei Ju snorted, and if others couldn't say it, he would persuade Xu Jiazi a few words, but he has experienced too much, and many things are different from ordinary people's ideas.
Thoughtfully, he said, "I don't know what Xu Jiazi's ambition is?"
Xu Changsheng replied, "Changsheng has no ambitions, and now I just want to let my college start smoothly."
Pei Ju frowned, "Other than that?"
Xu Changsheng smiled, "Does the old man think that the ambition of longevity is too short?"
Pei Ju didn't deny it either, "Having the talent to manage the world but not making progress, in the eyes of others, it's very different."
Xu Changsheng's eyes flickered. After chatting for so long, it should be time to get down to business.
Xu Changsheng raised his head suddenly, his eyes sparkled, "The old man's words are wrong. Does it mean that even the old man thinks that Changsheng's college is not as important as entering the imperial court and being an official? Changsheng is so disappointed."
Let's see him come up with a radical method first.
Pei Ju was stunned, why did Xu Jiazi get excited all of a sudden, the light in his eyes could illuminate everything, he was so startled that he didn't even react.
Hearing the words, he was also taken aback, "Oh, tell me, why is your academy more important than being an official in the court? There are countless Tang Academy, so it's not bad for you, right?"
Xu Changsheng raised his head, his nostrils turned to the sky, he had to get the old man to be interested in his academy first, and said, "Although there are many academies in Datang, there is only one academy in Changsheng, which is unique. Hongwenguan, Chongwenguan, Guozijian, and Changsheng colleges are also incomparable."
Xu Changsheng looked at Mr. Pei, and said word by word, "Changsheng's college must be the first college in the Tang Dynasty."
Pei Ju: "..."
Datang First Academy?What a big tone.
A college that has not yet started enrolling students actually said that the three highest colleges in the Tang Dynasty are not as good as it.
Where did the Xu family get their confidence?
Pei Ju looked at Xu Changsheng, it was the first time he had seen him so wildly.
By the way, Xu Jiazi does have the title of mad student.
"Young students, you need to know whether it is Hongwenguan, Chongwenguan, or Guozijian, which one of the teachers who teach is not a great Confucian from Hongmen, and basically has more than half of the teaching staff in the Tang Dynasty." Pei Ju said, half vigilant, half admonishing, If Xu Jiazi's arrogant words are spread, they will not be criticized.
In addition to being a little crazy, this young man still likes it, and as an elder, he should wake up a bit.
Xu Changsheng looked at Mr. Pei, "Hongwen Hall, Chongwen Hall, and Guozijian have indeed occupied most of the teaching staff of the Tang Dynasty, but the students they teach can make the people of the Tang Dynasty eat cheap oil like Changsheng... ...Let the people of Tang Dynasty afford white granulated sugar...Let paper be popular all over the world..."
Xu Changsheng said it with sonorous force, one by one.
Pei Ju opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but these are the facts, and he said after a while, "But there is only one son of the Xu family, Xu Changsheng, which doesn't mean that your academy is better than the others."
Xu Changsheng smiled, "There is only one son of the Xu family, Xu Changsheng? No, as long as my academy is built, there will be more people like me in Datang in the future."
Without waiting for Mr. Pei's reaction, Xu Changsheng continued, "Grandpa thinks that Changsheng has enough things that benefit the country and the people? But Changsheng wants to say that after the students of my college graduate, they will research more beneficial things. Things that benefit the country and the people, and even researched things that even Changsheng admired. Those of Changsheng are just a drop in the ocean. In Changsheng's view, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty has not even reached the well-off. The Tang Dynasty is pushing towards a truly prosperous and prosperous age, but can the students from Hongwenguan, Chongwenguan, and Guozijian teach it? Could it be that the Tang Dynasty has an unprecedented prosperity, and my college can’t be called the first college of the Tang Dynasty?”
Pei Ju was irritated by Xu Changsheng's imaginative words, "Datang has not even reached Xiaokang yet? You should explain to the old man, what is Xiaokang in your heart?"
Xiaokang comes from "The Book of Songs Daya Minilao", which refers to a slightly more comfortable life.
The current Datang, in his opinion, is already considered very remarkable, and Xu Jiazi actually said that he can't even reach a well-off life.
I haven't seen the prosperity of later generations, but my life now is really amazing.
But in Xu Changsheng's view, all the people are running around to eat a full meal, which is not considered well-off.
Xu Changsheng said word by word, "Well-off, from Changsheng's point of view, the most basic requirement is that everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone can afford medical care, everyone has a house to live in, and everyone has education. The young are taught, the old are supported..."
Xu Changsheng's voice shocked Pei Ju.
This is the most basic?
This kind of life, in Pei Ju's view, is already an unprecedented prosperity.
But, in the eyes of the Xu family, it's just a well-off life?
Xu Changsheng continued, "As long as my academy is established and the students of the academy spread all over the Tang Dynasty, it will not be difficult to achieve. Does Mr. Pei still think that it is better to be an official in the court than to open an academy?"
Pei Ju was still immersed in Xu Changsheng's "well-off" life, and reacted after hearing this.
Ordinary people would have been confused by Xu Changsheng shouting slogans like the leader of a cult, but Pei Ju was different.
Said, "This is just your imagination, how can you prove that you can do it?"
Even though I said that, I was shocked in my heart. I don’t know how many people will be full of longing for this imagination alone.
Datang also came through the chaos of war, and the shocking tragedies before did not pass long.
In the eyes of some old people, the era of selling children and daughters for food is just like yesterday.
So what Xu Changsheng said was not well-off, it was something they couldn't believe for the rest of their lives.
Xu Changsheng's eyes lit up. After talking so much, Mr. Pei finally started to take the bait, and he was exhausted.
Xu Changsheng continued, looking a little angry, but in fact he was pretending, and said, "Mr. Pei doesn't go and see for himself, how do you know that the academy where you can't achieve longevity is there, and you can't escape, right?"
Come on, Mr. Pei, the academy welcomes you.
Pei Ju was very angry, "Well, you are a crazy student from the Xu family. I have heard of your fantastical "Tales of the Tang Dynasty Boys". It has no substance, I didn't expect you to drum up a self-righteous well-off life now, you can confuse others, but you can't confuse this old man."
When Xu Changsheng saw that Pei Ju was getting agitated, he was overjoyed. He was afraid that Mr. Pei would be too calm.
Xu Changsheng continued to brag about his academy, but he just sighed in his heart. After today, his reputation as a mad student might become even louder.
"Old man, you are a great literary star, how can you deny it without witnessing it?"
Watch him instantly turn into a small gangster, and gang up on the old man to the academy.
The two insisted on their own words, and their voices became louder and louder.
Even the housekeeper and servants outside the room could hear clearly.
I was terrified to hear it.
Is what Xu Jiazi said true?That well-off life is too incredible.
However, even the old man thinks it's unreal, Xu Jiazi must be just arrogant and self-righteous, right?
But... I really want to go to that academy to witness it as Xu Jiazi said.
When Pei Xingjian came back, he was shocked.
Why did his grandfather "quarrel" with Xu Jiazi?Listen, how loud it is, he heard it from a long distance away.
But, that's not very possible, is it?
With his grandfather's personality, no matter what, it was impossible to quarrel with a young man like this.
He was a little curious as to how Xu Jiazi did it.
Hastily walked to the room.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw his grandfather blowing his nose and staring with anger.
On the other side, Xu Jiazi was triumphant.
Pei Xingjian: "..."
What is this scenario?
As soon as Pei Xingjian came in, Pei Ju shouted, "Pack my luggage, I have to go to Xu Kuangsheng's academy to see how the No. [-] Academy of the Tang Dynasty can teach students who can lead the Tang Dynasty to a well-off life, if not In fact, the old man must teach him a lesson."
Pei Xingjian: "..."
Didn't my grandfather say that he came to Chang'an to live a simple life, why is he still going to the academy now?
Xu Changsheng was overjoyed.
This is what he was waiting for.
Standing up neatly, he made a big salute, "In this way, the academy welcomes Mr. Pei. Mr. Pei's theory is unparalleled in the world, so please trouble Mr. Pei to be the teacher of the theory department of our academy."
After speaking, he blinked his eyes.
Pei Ju was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly calmed down, and after thinking about it, he understood what the purpose of the Xu family's making such a big circle was.
He heard that Xu Jiazi was looking for a teacher for his college, but he never thought that Xu Jiazi would dare to attract his attention, but now...
Pei Ju's mouth twitched, "Okay... okay you Xu family."
He was also defenseless, so he slowly fell into Xu's trap.
Jumping down little by little without knowing it.
Pei Ju's forehead was a bit dark. He didn't expect that Lao Lai would be tricked by a young man, and it was this young man who saved his Bao'er, so he didn't have any precautions. Who knew that the other party was actually digging a hole for him.
Xu Changsheng was very "ashamed", "The old man just promised to go to the academy."
Pei Ju: "..."
At that time, he was a little excited by a young junior, so when he saw Pei Xingjian coming in, he said that sentence naturally.
Now the words are out.
Pei Ju looked at Xu Changsheng, "So what you said about living a well-off life is a lie? It's just your romantic imagination."
Xu Jiazi is good at romantic creation, and he has heard a little bit about it.
Xu Changsheng hurriedly performed a deep courtesy, and said, "Although Changsheng was Meng Lang just now, he didn't dare to expire the old gentleman on this kind of thing. Changsheng urges the old gentleman to go to the academy to witness how the students taught by the Changsheng Academy are doing. To realize a real well-off life."
Pei Ju narrowed his eyes. Judging from Xu Jiazi's attitude, he didn't seem to be lying.
After a long time, he sighed, "That's all right, if it's as you said, why not go and have a look? If I can really witness the well-off life in your mouth for the rest of my life, let alone go to your college, even if I let the old man go to what kind of poverty?" It’s okay to be in the countryside.”
Pei Xingjian was stunned. His grandfather was all about retiring, but now he was persuaded by the Xu family to teach?
God, the sun is out in the west.
Pei Xingjian was about to persuade him that his grandfather was old after all.
Xu Changsheng hurriedly said, "Don't worry about being frugal. Xujia Village is not far from Chang'an, and the road is very flat, and it can't be called bumpy. There is actually no obstacle for the old man to go back to Chang'an. In addition, my college The environment is not Changsheng boasting, even ten Chang'an can't match it."
Pei Ju: "..."
Pei Xingjian: "..."
Chang'an is the financial and political center of Datang, and Xu Jiazi is not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue.
Xu Changsheng continued, "Mr. Pei must have never been to Xujia Village when he first came to Chang'an, but now everyone is saying that if you come to Chang'an and don't go to Xujia Village, then you will be in vain."
Pei Xingjian thought about it, his grandfather could indeed go to Xujia Village to take a look, it was a magical place different from any place in Datang.
A great writer like Pei Ju is actually very interested in these places. He originally planned to go to the wonderful Xujia Village that everyone said was wonderful after he settled down.
Seeing that his grandfather had already made up his mind, Pei Xingjian had no choice. His grandfather always had his own opinion, and no one else could interfere.
He just glanced at Xu Changsheng with some resentment.
What a classmate, you dare to fight against his grandfather's idea.
Pei Ju also took a look at Xu Changsheng. He didn't want Xu's son to become an official in the court. He could be tricked at a young age. If he was diligent and diligent, he would be a blessing to the court. There will be a bloodbath.
In particular, he has also heard a little about the relationship between Xu Jiazi and the crown prince. If Xu Jiazi tried his best to help the crown prince deal with dissidents, and his methods were a little more ruthless, I'm afraid...the court may not be impossible to be in turmoil.
After all, Mr. Pei is old, out of respect, Xu Changsheng will definitely send Mr. Pei to Xujia Village himself.
Along with him are Pei Xingjian, the housekeeper and servants. Mr. Pei lives alone in the college, and Pei Xingjian will definitely not feel at ease. The housekeeper and servants are there to take care of him.
As soon as Xu Changsheng and his party came out, they attracted the attention of the surrounding Chang'an people.
A group of people were confused, "What's the situation? Why did Xu Jiazi come out with Mr. Pei, and even packed up and saluted. Are they going to Xujia Village?"
Just now they were still guessing whether Xu Jiazi was outrageously trying to get Mr. Pei's idea.
Now this posture...
But doesn't it mean that Mr. Pei is devoted to taking care of the elderly and doesn't care about worldly affairs?
Someone who was acquainted with the servants of Pei's family couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Where is your old man going?"
The servant whispered, "Of course I will go to Xu Jiazi's academy. The old man has already agreed to Xu Jiazi's invitation to go to the academy to teach policy theory."
There is nothing to hide about this, anyway, as soon as the academy starts, everything will be known.
A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and there was an uproar.
How could Xu Jiazi be able to invite Mr. Pei?
Mr. Pei is a leading figure in the literary world, even if it is the Hongwen Museum, Chongwen Museum, or Guozijian, it is impossible to invite him.
Therefore, the degree of surprise can be imagined.
There was a lot of discussion, "How did Xu Jiazi persuade Mr. Pei?"
"It's totally impossible."
The corner of Mr. Pei's mouth twitched too. To be honest, before coming to Chang'an, he never thought that this would be the case. Even he found it unbelievable, let alone other people.
After getting into the carriage, the carriage drove out of the city.
The Patriarch of the Pei family left, and the people of Chang'an rushed up and surrounded the servants of the Pei family, "Tell us quickly, what's going on, if you don't tell us, you are not allowed to leave."
Servant: "..."
They also listened outside for a while, but they could hear the Xu family's well-off life clearly, like thunder.
They were so emotional that they couldn't calm down now. When someone asked, they couldn't help but say a few words excitedly.
"Our old man went to Xu Jiazi's college to witness whether the well-off life that Xu Jiazi talked about can be realized."
"The Xu family's well-off life? It's the people of my Tang Dynasty. In the future, everyone will have food to eat, everyone will have clothes to wear, everyone will be able to see a doctor, everyone will have a house to live in, everyone will have education, children will be educated, and the old will be educated." have something to rely on..."
"Xu Jiazi said that the students taught by his academy can bring Datang into a well-off life."
"Xu Jiazi said that his academy is the First Academy of the Tang Dynasty, and Hongwenguan Chongwenguan Guozijian has to stand aside."
"Xu Jiazi said that it's meaningless to be an official. It's better to develop his academy."
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, what a Xu Kuangsheng.
Could it be that he used these longings to trap Mr. Pei?
In Pei Ju's capacity, the news of going to Xu's academy to teach quickly spread throughout Chang'an as if he had grown wings.
Along with this news, there were also Xu Changsheng's wild words.
The news also reached the palace.
Li Shimin's face turned blue with anger.
Not long ago, someone was sent to tell Xu Jiazi to go back to the court and become an official, but Xu Jiazi pretended to be sick and refused.
I thought that Xu Jiazi was really seriously ill, so I sent someone to inquire about it, but... Xu Jiazi danced so badly that he almost went to the house to expose the tiles, causing the whole Chang'an to stir up trouble.
He was so angry that his face turned black for several days.
After finally feeling better, he was going to wait a few days before getting someone to whip the Xu family, but he didn't expect this to happen.
What official?Why not develop his academy?
Li Shimin was so angry that his teeth were itching. While exaggerating his academy, he didn't forget to step on him.
However, the well-off life of the Xu family really shocked people, even for him, it was difficult to restrain his excitement for a while.
He muttered to himself, "I don't know if what Xu Jiazi said is true or not? It's no wonder that even Pei Ju didn't resist the temptation and ran to witness."
Xu Jiazi's well-off life, will he have such a day in Datang?
Li Shimin hesitated, Xu Jiazi is too evil, if it really comes true?
But he was a little reluctant to let Xu Jiazi go to his academy for a day and not come to court to solve his problems.
Li Shimin thought, he had to think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
……
Xu Changsheng was sending Mr. Pei to Xujia Village.
He didn't know that in Chang'an, Xu Kuangsheng's name became even more resounding.
But more people are immersed in the imagination of a well-off life that Xu Changsheng said.
Now that Xu Jiazi's academy has Pei Ju joining, who knows how many feats and aristocratic families can't sit still, they have to find out what is the admissions process of Xu Jiazi's academy.
The wind is surging.
Before Xu Changsheng and the others arrived at Xujia Village, the eldest grandfather, Yan Wenshu and Ouyang Xun had already come out to welcome them.
The uncle of the Xu family brought the news that Pei Ju was coming to the academy back to Xujia Village.
The great grandfather, Yan Wenshu, and Ouyang Xun greeted him happily. Even the great grandfather was not as senior as Pei Ju. When the great grandfather was still studying, Pei Ju's literary name had spread all over the world.
Happiness is happiness, but the look at Xu Changsheng is not very friendly.
Except for the great grandfather, they... were all tricked by Xu Changsheng.
Xu Changsheng was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to speak loudly, he was short of breath.
Hey, it's not that easy to build a college, even the teacher has to use some means to do it.
But he didn't feel embarrassed for long, because Pei Ju was the first to come to Xujia Village.
He knew very well what would happen to a person who came to Xujia Village for the first time, and there would be no one to monitor him.
Pei Ju was really shocked. He had long heard that Xujia Village was truly the most prosperous place in the Tang Dynasty, unlike any place in the Tang Dynasty.
He always thought it was an exaggeration, how could there be a more prosperous place than Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty.
Literati, always like to sublimate the facts and make them more literary.
But he didn't expect that Xujiacun was even more surprising than he had imagined.
Is this still a village?
The excitement was unimaginable.
The tourists in Xujia Village are continuous every day, so the bustling and prosperous is no worse than Chang'an.
Pei Ju thought of something and looked up.
Sure enough, I saw a team of hang gliders flying in the sky, as well as several big hot air balloons.
He has been in Chang'an for a few days, and he has heard about these things.
However, even if he was prepared in his heart, he couldn't help but be extremely surprised.
Sure enough, there are people flying in the sky in Xujia Village all the time, which is really amazing.
The great grandfather and the others also smiled. They find this kind of scene very novel every day.
Watching a group of people flying above their heads every day is a very strange feeling, but it seems to be like this, and there is an indescribable sense of contradiction.
Pei Ju looked at it for a long time, and then said, "No wonder everyone said that if you come to Chang'an and don't go to Xujia Village, you are here for nothing. This is true."
Such an experience was also the first time in his life.
Xu Changsheng smiled, and he will get used to it after looking at it more. Anyway, people fly in the sky of Xujia Village every day, and the business of the hang gliding base and hot air balloon base is very good.
It took Pei Ju a long time to look back, but he found some differences.
On the wide road, only their carriage was driving in the middle, and everyone else walked on both sides.
Is it to welcome him and prevent people from walking in the middle?
I couldn't help but say, "Formalism is not good, why don't people walk on such a wide and good road?"
There are so many tourists, but they only walk on both sides, which looks a bit crowded.
Xu Changsheng: "..."
Grandfather: "..."
Xu Changsheng was about to answer, when the fast-moving cycling team passed by.
Pei Ju was surprised again, "Why do they only drive on the side road? The road is so wide, how comfortable it is to run around."
He knows the bicycles, and the bicycles are sold anywhere in Datang Shidao. In addition to the streets of Chang'an, people ride bicycles everywhere.
Xu Changsheng: "..."
Grandfather: "..."
Pei Xingjian was embarrassed, and quickly explained, "Grandfather, there are a lot of people coming and going in Xujia Village, so for the sake of safety, strict rules have been formulated, such as the roads that people walk are called sidewalks, and carriages and bicycles are not allowed to go up. In the same way, people are not allowed to enter the lanes where horse-drawn carriages and bicycles run. Just now, the lanes where bicycles run are dedicated bicycle lanes. You can see how fast they ride, and they don’t have to worry about bumping into people, because no one will enter their dedicated lanes. Now we The same is true for this road, except for horse-drawn carriages, others will not enter, so that horse-drawn carriages or other goods can run fast, and it seems that there is restraint, but it is more efficient."
Pei Ju was stunned. It's really strange that there is such a rule.
He looked at it for a while, and there were white lines drawn on the ground, as Pei Xingjian said, they were all on their own paths, very well behaved.
At this time, he saw something strange again. Someone was wearing a red sleeve on his sleeve, which was very conspicuous. He was holding a flag in his hand, and he seemed to be patrolling everywhere, which was different from tourists at first glance.
Can't help but ask, "What are they doing?"
Pei Xingjian said, "They are road dredgers. There are many strangers who come to Xujia Village every day. Some people don't know the road rules of Xujia Village. They are responsible for explaining to people and always watching for accidents."
Pei Ju nodded, which was very strange.
Not long after, their carriage stopped in the middle of the road.
Pei Ju was taken aback, it's not good to stop in the middle of the road like this, wouldn't it stop the car behind?
Without waiting for Pei Ju to ask, Pei Xingjian said, "Grandfather, please look at the zebra crossing ahead. There is also the person in charge of traffic. Now is the time for pedestrians to cross the road through the zebra crossing. Horse-drawn carriages are not allowed to pass."
Sure enough, Pei Ju saw someone commanding ahead, and a group of people began to cross the carriageway that was empty just now.
Pei Ju: "..."
I was curious to look around, and Pei Xingjian explained next to me.
Seeing Pei Xingjian explaining, Xu Changsheng felt at ease. After more than ten years of development, Xujia Village still has many differences.
But they are all well-behaved and develop according to the rules.
The carriage traveled another way and then stopped.
Pei Xingjian said, "There are more tourists in front, and it is also where Xujia Village's residence is. For safety, no car can enter. We need to get out of the car and walk."
Pei Ju nodded and got out of the car. Sure enough, the crowds were getting denser and it was indeed inconvenient to drive.
After getting out of the car, he found something different again. The road just now was a cement road, but now the road under his feet is a red brick road.
Perhaps no longer suitable for carriage, but more suitable for walking.
The streets are full of tourists strolling in groups of three or five.
It was obviously a little noisy because of the crowd, but he felt a kind of leisure in the noise.
Pei Ju observed with his eyes, even though he had such a rich life experience, his cognition was refreshed by new things now.
In all his experiences, he has never met even a city or a village like this one.
This is life.
but……
Pei Ju frowned and said, "It's indeed bustling and eye-opening, but is it a bit more lively? This place is used for teaching, and students might not be able to calm down and study?"
Pei Xingjian didn't know how to answer this time, because he had never been to the academy.
Xu Changsheng hurriedly said, "Old man, this is Xujia Village. Changsheng once promised that Xujia Village is a place open to the outside world and a place for tourism. Of course, it seems a bit more lively. However, the college is not here, and the college is not for outsiders. It’s open, don’t worry, it’s quiet, it’s definitely a good place to learn.”
Pei Ju just nodded.
Then he glanced at Xu Changsheng again.
I heard that the entire Xujia Village was built by Xu Jiazi. At that time... he was only four years old.
He is really a monster, but the good thing is that what he does is beneficial to this era.
I can't imagine, if he is a monster...
He has seen too many people who are demons, so he will inevitably think more.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head, this era is the era of young people, the future depends on them, it's useless for him to worry about it.
However, it's good to stay next to this evildoer and look at it.
Said, "Take me to the academy first."
Since he agreed to come to the academy to teach, he must be familiar with the environment first.
Xu Changsheng nodded, "Changsheng has already arranged the old gentleman's residence, so let's take the old gentleman there."
Pei Xingjian frowned. Since he said that the college is quiet, in his mind, the quiet place must be very difficult. His grandfather is old and can't stand the trouble.
Later, he would tell Xu's family son that it would be fine to let his grandfather live in Xu's village. The conditions in Xu's village are convenient. Although it is a little more lively, it is also a rare place for the elderly.
However, when the group came to the academy, Pei Xingjian threw his thoughts somewhere.
"This... this is the academy where I want to teach"
Even if it was Mr. Pei's words, his face changed in surprise.
Pei Xingjian was also speechless.
What is the floor covering?
It was crystal clear, like jade, and couldn't help asking, "Xu Jiazi, you...wouldn't you have paved the entire academy floor with expensive jade?"
Look at the crystal-clear ground, except for jade, he really doesn't know what kind of stone can make it look like this.
Jade paving?
It exists just like a myth. In the myth, doesn’t it mean that the place where the gods live is carved with carved railings and jade?
Looking up, all the houses are really made of jade, exuding a soft light in the sun.
Even Mr. Pei couldn't help swallowing his saliva. What kind of academy is here? It's simply a huge and extremely gorgeous fairy palace.
Yes, it is definitely an fairy palace standing on the top of the mountain, and it satisfies all the world's fantasies about fairy palaces.
Yan Wenshu and Ouyang Xun looked at each other, they could all guess what Mr. Pei was thinking now, because when they first came, they had the same thoughts.
Even now, they are still a little dazed, this is actually a college, and they are teaching here.
Like a legend.
Xu Changsheng smiled, "Is the old man satisfied with this academy?"
After finishing speaking, he said, "Old man, the ground and the walls of the house you see are not made of jade. No matter how rich Xujia Village is, it is impossible to use jade to pave the floor so exaggeratedly."
"Can……"
Xu Changsheng said again, "This is a kind of ceramic tile, just a product of our Xujia Village."
