As the old man spoke, he stood up excitedly, straightened his clothes, and bowed to Prince An in an upright manner.
"May I ask what your name is? I, Kong Yingda, would like to thank you on behalf of all the people in the world!"
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but be stunned!
This old man is Kong Yingda!
Kong Yingda is the 31st grandson of Confucius, a master of Confucian classics since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and a well-deserved academic leader in the early Tang Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, he was a highly respected national treasure.
"The old gentleman is serious -"
Wang Zi'an quickly avoided the gesture, stepped forward, and helped the old gentleman up with both hands.
"Junior Wang Zi'an, I don't dare to give such a gift to my senior..."
"Wang Zi'an? The Taiyuan Wang family is really full of talents! I wonder which young talent of the Taiyuan Wang family brother Wang is?"
Kong Yingda looked at Wang Zi'an with interest.
This young man has a handsome appearance and a well-established figure. He is dressed simply and behaves calmly, exuding an indescribable aura of worldliness.
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but frowned, "Why do I have to belong to the Wang family in Taiyuan!"
When I was studying in the county school, people always talked about this.
Deliberately pushing yourself.
It’s as if I don’t deserve the surname Wang because I’m not a Taiyuan Wang family!
"I don't dare to climb high. I am from Wangwa Village in Chang'an and have nothing to do with the Wang family in Taiyuan."
"Oh - so, it's me Meng Lang..."
Kong Yingda couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this, and quickly handed over his hands to apologize. Wang Zi'an didn't feel like saying anything else, so he waved his hands helplessly.
"Forget it, you're not the first to say that anyway. I'm used to it."
"Brother Wang, do you know the value of the four words you just said? If this practice can be popularized, all people in the world will benefit from it for generations. With this suggestion alone, you will be able to go down in history!"
Kong Yingda held Wang Zi'an's hand excitedly.
"Little brother, let's go - I will take you to see His Majesty right now - His Majesty has always loved talents and will certainly not be stingy with rewards for you!"
"Don't—Old sir, please don't harm me—"
Prince An was like avoiding the god of plague, and quickly escaped from Kong Yingda's hands, as if he would run away if he disagreed with her.
The three people couldn't help but be stunned.
There are still people in this world who are as afraid of being in office!
"Brother, why did you say this?"
Kong Yingda raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Wang Zi'an with puzzled eyes.
"Xianyun Yehe, I'm used to being lazy, I can't bear the pain——"
Prince An shook his head like a rattle and refused without even thinking.
Are you kidding me, Prince An, came here to be an official?
Wrong, I’m here to hang out!
"Suffering? Brother, do you know how many people in this world are eager to become officials?"
Kong Yingda was dumbfounded by this weird reason, and advised him earnestly.
"They are them, and I am me. As the saying goes, they are honey to me, and I am arsenic. This person has different pursuits from others, and each has his own way of living. I have nothing else in my life, I just want to be free and happy.
The rich and idle people——"
Wang Zi'an was also a bit dumbfounded. In his previous life, he wanted to be an official but couldn't get it. He finally traveled through time and wanted to live a happy life for a few days, but one after another he wanted to become an official.
"With your talent, if you don't become an official and do something in your career, wouldn't you be living up to what you have learned-"
"You don't have to be an official to have a career. There is also a lot to do in the countryside——"
After Wang Zi'an finished speaking, he waved his hand, stood up and left.
See you again!
Although I feel a bit sad to leave your two beautiful nieces.
Kong Yingda was immediately dumbfounded, there are still such people in this world.
He had met countless people, and he could see that the young man in front of him was really not just showing off, but he was really too lazy to be an official.
The two girls next to him were also a little stunned. They were used to seeing young talents desperately trying to enter the officialdom, but this was the first time they saw such a young man who was so dismissive of being an official.
"You said you don't want to be an official. I think you know that you can only talk on paper and you don't dare to do real things as an official, right?"
The girl who was called Ying'er by the old man looked at Wang Zi'an who was about to leave and said lightly.
The voice is soft and pleasant, cold and indifferent, but like a little hook, it keeps scratching in your heart.
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but turn around and look at this young woman who had inexplicable hostility towards him.
Tsk tsk, her temperament is cool and soft, like an orchid in an empty valley, her body is graceful and graceful, and she is dignified with a hint of femininity. Her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are like autumn water, her skin is as good as snow, her jade neck is long, and she has two jade hands with ten slender fingers.
More importantly, this sound fascinates me.
It's a pity that his attitude towards her has always been unfriendly, so he probably doesn't have any future prospects. Thinking of this, Wang Zi'an raised his eyebrows slightly and gave her a teasing look.
"How to provoke generals? Childish——"
"What's the point of getting excited about someone like you who can only talk nonsense..."
After the girl named Ying'er finished speaking, she snorted softly and turned away.
When viewed from the side, it looks like a ridge or a vertical peak!
Do pretty girls feel so good about themselves?
Wang Zi'an shook his head, didn't bother to pay attention, and walked away directly.
When Wang Zi'an didn't even glance at him, the girl named Ying'er couldn't help being slightly startled, and a trace of grievance suddenly flashed in her eyes.
This stinky man really still treats me with disdain.
He just snatched my hydrangea and ran away, making me the laughing stock on the streets of Chang'an. He even deliberately pretended not to recognize me without even a word of apology.
You are a swindler and a heartless man!
Kong Yingda didn't notice the fleeting grievance in her niece's eyes. When she saw the conversation, the conversation broke down. She quickly stood up and chased after her.
"Little brother Wang, wait a minute—wait a minute—"
Looking at this old man, who was so old and out of breath from running, Wang Zi'an shook his head speechlessly and stopped.
"Little brother, let's talk a little more. There's nothing wrong with not becoming an official if you don't want to be an official. Can you elaborate more on this work-for-relief thing?"
After Kong Yingda finished speaking, he looked at Wang Zi'an eagerly, fearing that the young man would turn around and leave.
Wang Zi'an nodded slightly when he heard this, turned around and walked back, put the chimney aside and sat down again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The girl whom Kong Yingda called Ying'er saw him turning back, snorted and turned her head away, her eyes drooped, without even looking at him.
"Then let me, this junior, just say a few more words of praise..."
"My little friend, you are humble, you are humble——"
Knowing that Wang Zi'an was angry, Kong Yingda changed the topic with a smile.
"Although what Ying'er just said was a bit rude, it does make some sense. It's freezing cold today. I wonder how we can provide relief through work? What other projects can we do?"
As the old man spoke, he personally picked up the teapot and gave Prince An a cup of hot tea.
Looking at the greasy tea soup in the tea cup, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes, but this was omitted.
However, he is a person who really wants to do something!
Looking at Kong Yingda, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.
"The juniors do have a suitable project here that can solve their urgent needs, but it requires the help of the old gentleman..."
"speak!"
When Kong Yingda heard this, he immediately became energetic. The two beauties next to him also unconsciously leaned forward slightly.
"I need the old gentleman to help me get these two pieces of land——"
As Wang Zi'an spoke, he dipped his fingers in tea and wrote two place names on the table.
Kong Yingda couldn't help but look at each other with the two beauties beside him, showing a hint of confusion.
"If you want this land, of course it's no problem. With my humble face, it's no problem even if you want to carve out a piece of land in the royal estate. I'll go back and ask the emperor for it now. But these two pieces of land are remote.
It’s desolate, except for charcoal, not even a single crop has been grown, what are you doing here..."
Kong Yingda asked in confusion.
