Su Feier, who was hiding aside and happily eating Houfu's secret snacks, heard this and her little face suddenly turned into a big bun.
"After my investigation and observation during this period of time, I found that Prince An is most likely a descendant of the Xian family——"
Seeing that his little apprentice was a little conflicted, Yun Xuzi coughed lightly, walked up to Su Feier, touched the top of her head, and persuaded her earnestly.
"Master is also making long-term plans for you. As you get older, you will eventually get married. Even if you put aside your status as a descendant of the Xian family, this Wang Zi'an is a good place to belong, isn't it?"
Su Feier was immediately helpless by the master's sudden gentleness, and even forgot to put the snacks in her hands into her mouth.
"Yes, but -"
Su Feier's mind suddenly flashed into Wang Zi'an's gentle smile with the breeze blowing on her face and the bright moon in her arms. Her pretty face turned red for a moment and she didn't know how to respond.
Mr. Yunxu is an old man, how could he still not know that this little cabbage he raised has already taken a liking to it?
At the moment, he did not criticize the situation, but instead helped his apprentice to analyze it with sincerity and sincerity.
"There's nothing special about him. Look at him, he's handsome, rich as jade, gentle in temperament, humble and polite, versatile, and young and rich."
Having said this, Yun Xuzi paused for a moment, almost being moved by himself.
"Moreover, he is no more than a young man and is already the Marquis of the founding county - such a young man, in terms of talent, appearance, wealth, and status, even if you look for him with a lantern, you probably won't be able to find anyone else.
Come on, what else are you dissatisfied with..."
"But, but..."
Su Feier felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out for the moment.
"It's nothing!"
Yun Xuzi waved his hand.
"Master is a veteran and can see this kind of thing much more clearly than you -"
"But, Master, you seem to have been single..."
Yun Xuzi:......
There’s nothing we can talk about anymore!
"Ahem - everything may not be seen with the eyes and heard with the ears. As a teacher, I have been traveling around the world for many years and I have already seen everything..."
Having said this, Yun Xuzi felt that he had to cut through the mess quickly.
This little girl has only been out for a few days, but she has learned to question the teacher.
"Anyway, what other bad intentions can master have--"
While they were talking, they saw servants from the Hou Mansion coming to invite them to a banquet.
"Ahem, I'm not feeling well, so I won't bother you. Fei'er, go ahead. On behalf of my teacher, I would like to express my gratitude to Lord Marquis for his kindness..."
With that said, without any further explanation, he pushed Su Feier out.
Ah, this——
Su Feier followed him out in a daze.
When Su Feier walked away, the eldest disciple Qing Xuanzi, who had been silent all this time, could no longer hold back and hesitantly spoke.
"Master, this - is not good..."
"What's wrong?"
Old God Yun Xuzi lay down on the bed, resting his hands on his pillow, looking at the sky, and spoke in a leisurely tone.
"Wang Zi'an is a descendant of the Xian family, which is certainly the best. We can use this person's hand to gain a glimpse of the path of the Xian family and find the path to immortality. If not, I will also find a suitable husband for Fei'er and solve a troublesome matter -
-In short, we will not lose any money in this wave..."
Qingxuanzi:......
…
I haven't seen her for a few days, and this little Taoist nun who pretends to be arrogant has become more and more charming.
Her skin became more delicate and her cheeks became more rounded. The slightly loose robe not only failed to hide her figure, but gave her an airy and graceful beauty.
As for the fact that Taoist Yun Xuzi and his great disciple didn’t come?
It would be best if he didn't come.
Having this little Taoist nun is enough!
Seeing Li Yuan and Pei Ji, their eyes wandered back and forth between themselves and the little Taoist nun ambiguously. Princess Changle also blinked her big eyes and looked at herself with suspicion.
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
"This is - ahem, a distant cousin of mine..."
"Distant cousin? Don't you mean distant junior sister..."
As soon as Wang Zi'an finished speaking, he heard a slight scoff from Li Shimin coming from outside.
Hearing Li Shimin's teasing, the eyes of several people in the room suddenly became weirder. Even Xue Rengui was hesitant about whether to call Shi Niang directly or something like that.
Wang Zi’an:……
Where is my concierge?
Call him Wang Meng, right? Turn around and beat him to death!
Um, I told him not to report—
That's okay.
"Ahem, who said a distant cousin can't be a junior sister's—"
Wang Zi'an rolled his eyes angrily.
"You are quite good at coming. I was just about to prepare dinner here, and you came to the door..."
Although they are now Weng's son-in-law, the two of them have long been accustomed to getting along with each other without restraint, and neither one of them thought that the other was out of line. On the contrary, Changsun Wuji, who was following behind, couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed.
"Of course, I'll make some calculations and you'll have a big dinner here..."
Li Shimin couldn't help laughing, casually hanging his cloak at the door, and very consciously sat down under Li Yuan, ready to eat.
Wang Zi’an:……
No, we are an emperor after all.
"By the way, I told His Majesty about your horseshoes. Your Majesty was very happy and asked me to pass this on to you——"
As Li Shimin spoke, he took out a bright yellow scroll from his sleeve and threw it to Wang Zi'an very casually.
"Your Majesty has generously granted you the imperial edict to posthumously grant your parents the title. It seems that you have been granted the title of an admonishing official, the Duke of Anle County. Tsk tsk, a small iron piece has such a big reward. I say you have taken advantage of it this time.
Guangzong Yaozu——"
Wang Zi’an:……
It’s really a big bargain!
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but curled his lips. He was very generous in taking action. Directly speaking to the county official, you don't have to worry about paying wages, right?
However, although he was complaining in his heart, knowing that he had been prostituted for free by this dog emperor again, but this was a posthumous title for his cheap father whom he had never met, and he couldn't say anything.
So, I bowed my hand very seriously.
"Thank you Your Majesty for that - what, you said that now that I am a Marquis, do I have to find time to meet the Emperor..."
Wang Zi'an suddenly thought of something, slapped his thigh and asked for advice in a serious manner.
When Li Shimin heard this, he was immediately shocked.
"Ahem, don't worry about this - when His Majesty wants to see you, he will meet you naturally, no need to worry, no need to worry..."
"Is that so? Is it appropriate?"
Wang Zi'an looked at Li Shimin with some doubts.
Li Shimin nodded quickly.
"It's suitable, it's suitable, it's very suitable - think about it, His Majesty is so busy with so many things to do, how can he have time to see you casually..."
The prince sat down relievedly.
"That's right. Your Majesty is so busy. He certainly can't be like you, wandering around like you have nothing to do every day - by the way, aren't you doing business outside the customs? You are so free..."
Li Shimin:......
"Ahem - this young man is..."
We couldn't talk about this anymore, so Li Shimin quickly changed the topic.
"Oh, you're talking about him - Xue Rengui, my new apprentice -"
When Xue Rengui heard this, he quickly stood up and saluted Li Shimin with clasped fists. Although he didn't know what to call him, he knew from a glance that he had a close relationship with his master, so he just had to be polite and considerate.
"Are you taking on a disciple again?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but become interested.
He knew that this brat had very vicious eyes.
Whether it is Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai, Ma Zhou or Li Yifu, they are all top-notch talents.
Now I actually received another one.
How bad could this be?
Well, he has a dignified appearance and a calm demeanor——
When Li Shimin saw it, he had a favorable impression in his heart and nodded to Xue Rengui in a friendly manner.
"Yes, I collected two - by the way, why hasn't Liben come over yet, and is he still thinking about painting in the study? Rengui, go and call him over..."
Xue Rengui immediately stood up and hurried to the study.
Establish a foundation?
painting?
An ominous premonition suddenly arose in Li Shimin's heart. He glanced at Wang Zi'an and asked casually.
"Liben? Why does this name sound a bit familiar——"
"Oh, are you familiar with it? That's normal. My apprentice has no other shortcomings, except that he is a little famous - you may have heard of Yan Liben, the former doctor of the Ministry of Justice, who has some basic skills in painting..."
When Li Shimin heard this, he spit out the sip of boiled water he had just taken into his mouth.
Li Yuan:......
Is this bitch intentional?
Just spray, why are you turning away——
Looking at the wet chest that had been sprayed, Li Yuan couldn't help but be speechless.
"Isn't it just that I accepted Yan Liben as my apprentice? What's the big deal? With Zian's ability, what's so strange about accepting Yan Liben? It's a shame for someone as big as you to be so startled and not at all calm.
Energetic…”
Li Yuan wiped the water stains on his chest while looking at his unlucky son with annoyance.
Li Shimin:......
Ah, can this thing be the same?
Yan Liben was a young eunuch, a master of architecture, and a master of painting. He was not Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai, or Ma Zhou and Li Yifu.
But is this the crux of the matter?
No, as soon as Yan Liben comes in, he will probably die on the spot!
Thinking of this, he ignored his curiosity as to why Yan Liben suddenly became Wang Zi'an's apprentice, and quickly winked at Changsun Wuji who was standing beside him.
Changsun Wuji suddenly understood, coughed dryly, and stood up.
"Sorry, I have to go out for convenience..."
After saying that, he went out in a hurry.
He had been here more than once and knew where Wang Zi'an's study was. Therefore, although he was one step behind Xue Rengui, he still blocked Yan Liben on the road.
"Ah, Mr. Yan, you're fine—"
Knowing that Xue Rengui was also Wang Zi'an's new disciple today, and according to the rules, he was still his senior brother, so Yan Liben kept his attitude low and talked softly with Xue Rengui as he walked.
Therefore, there was no precaution at all against Changsun Wuji who suddenly appeared.
At this time, when he looked up, he found that it was Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Qi State. He was shocked and subconsciously stopped, wanting to bow and salute.
However, Changsun Wuji is so clever.
Without saying a word, he grabbed Yan Liben's wrist.
"Why, you don't recognize me anymore? I'm the chief steward of Changsun's house, Changsun Shang, do you remember? I was the one who went to your house for a wedding banquet on behalf of Changsun Shangshu last time—"
While talking, he secretly winked at Yan Liben.
Yan Liben:……
"Ah, ah - oh, I remembered..."
Although he didn't know what kind of medicine Changsun Wuji was selling in his gourd, or when he drank the wedding wine at home, Yan Liben still nodded very smartly.
Passed the first level successfully!
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled friendly at Xue Rengui who was standing beside him and said.
"What a fate. I didn't expect to meet Shaojian Yan again here - by the way, my brother-in-law is here today. I'll introduce him to you later..."
Yan Liben:!!!!!!
Your brother-in-law?
Isn't that the current His Majesty?
Do I still need your introduction?
Although he was madly complaining in his heart, he still nodded in cooperation.
"Ah, ah - okay -"
He finally understood it now. He was trying to remind himself to pretend not to recognize His Majesty when he saw him later.
this--
So, on the first day of my apprenticeship, I had to cooperate with His Majesty to "deceive" the master?
Yan Liben felt that what happened today was really too bad.
Xue Rengui looked at the two people calmly, feeling that something was wrong with them, but he couldn't grasp the essence for the moment.
But it's not easy to ask directly. After all, one is the master's new disciple and the other is the master's newly arrived guest.
Well, after observing and observing, there is nothing we can do about them.
After glancing at Changsun Wuji and Yan Liben without leaving any trace, Xue Rengui felt that with their skills, he could easily suppress them, and immediately felt relieved.
"Brother Yan, this is my brother-in-law and the father-in-law of the Marquis of Chang'an——"
Changsun Wuji, who entered almost side by side with Yan Liben, greeted Yan Liben to sit down and introduced his brother-in-law to Yan Liben enthusiastically.
Ah, this——
What should I call it?
Seeing Li Shimin greeting him with a friendly face, Yan Liben suddenly felt blessed. He quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Li Shimin.
"Disciple Yan Liben, I have met my master——"
Master’s father-in-law, I call him Master and give him a big salute. Is this okay?
I'm such a clever little kid!
Yan Liben secretly praised his wit.
Wang Zi’an:……
Ah, this——
The front leg vowed to repay me as the master, but the back leg partnered with others to play me.
This dog apprentice is so unreliable.
Wang Zian couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned, but then he couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth and nodded to Yan Liben with a smile.
"Ahem, you are Zian's new disciple. No need to be polite, no need to be polite - come sit down and have a meal together -"
Ah, this is my first time eating at the same table with the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty. I feel a little excited and a little nervous.
Yan Liben carefully moved his hands and sat horizontally.
"Okay, this is a family dinner, no need to be formal - you will know later, what bothers me the most is the red tape, just let go -"
Upon seeing this, Wang Zi'an waved his hand casually and ordered the banquet to begin.
…
Just as Wang Zi'an, Li Shimin and others were exchanging cups and cups, chatting and laughing, the Wang family had already begun to move intensively, and a large amount of assets began to be concentrated in the house. Some important stewards and elders in the family also rushed there.
When they came back, they gathered in Wang Hong's study.
