Xu Xing did not refuse and accepted Wu Huaiyuan's overtures with a smile.
Wealth can lead to the gods.
Who would believe that Zhou Ying could accumulate such a huge fortune if she didn't have a secret alliance with high-ranking officials behind her?
If you have money but no power, you are just a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.
The Wu family is rich and well-connected, and it is not something Xu Xing can easily offend now.
In addition, according to the customs of the inn, he had to win the imperial examination, so it was just a common thing to give him free room and board.
it's not a big deal.
Inns have been doing this for years.
It's just that Wu Huaiyuan is more generous now, which directly saves him the expense of entertaining guests.
"I heard that Xu Yushou was born in Jingyang County..."
"It just so happens that my Wu family is also from Jingyang, and we are all from the same hometown."
Wu Huaiyuan took his seat and took the initiative to start a relationship with Xu Xingla.
Being both from Jingyang County, the two of them were naturally more involved. This is why Wu Huaiyuan took the initiative to establish a relationship with Xu Xing. Fu eucalyptus heads are common, but those who were born in Jingyang County are much less common.
"Xu Yushou still has something to talk with his friends..."
"I'm interrupting you rashly, please don't blame me, Mr. Xu..."
After a brief exchange of friendship, Wu Huaiyuan stood up and said goodbye to Xu Xing.
After he got out of the box, he whispered to the old shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper Lu, please add some more dishes to Xu Yushou's place, and rent a room and change it into a Tianzi Room."
I noticed that Wu Huaiyuan had gone far away.
Chen Jian'an then shook his head and said: "This Young Master Wu, I wanted to have a few more words with him. Unexpectedly, he kept staring at you, Brother Xu, and only said a few perfunctory words to me."
Dragons do not live with snakes, tigers do not accompany dogs.
When he said this, he was not complaining that Wu Huaiyuan did not show favor to him. Rather, he was complaining about himself. If he were the leader of the government today, how could he be underestimated so easily?
"The head of the mansion?"
"It's also difficult to have anything to do with the Wu family."
Seeing this, Xu Xing comforted Chen Jianan.
Let alone the head of the government, even the head of the college examination, a first-class student, is not enough in front of the Wu family. Not to mention the future of the Wu family, the current Wu family alone is not something that ordinary people can reach.
…
Not only the academy classmates are paying attention to Xu Xing's government examination results.
The same goes for Xiaoyi Hall.
"What's wrong with the government?"
"He...really became it?"
After Master Ma learned about Xu Xing's results from his subordinates, his expression turned slightly complicated.
He sighed, "In just one year, he went from a humble servant... to a scholar? And his internal skills are also good. How did he do it?"
Of course he knew that Xu Xing had a "photographic memory" for reading.
But he could see with his own eyes that Xu Xing had gone from being a young boy who helped Xiaoyi's pao brother lead a horse to where he is today. Thinking about it, he still couldn't feel relieved.
"Brother Hai, you usually have the most contact with Xu Xing."
"What kind of person is he?"
Master Ma sent someone to call Brother Hai and asked.
Before joining Xiaoyi Hall and becoming Brother Pao, Xu Xing and Brother Hai were close friends. They were close in age, not much different, and could be considered playmates.
"Do things in a formal way..."
"I applied medicine to him, and he saluted me and thanked me."
Brother Hai was an innocent man, so without thinking much, he told Master Ma everything about Xu Xing's dealings with him last year.
As for the more distant "Xu Xing", he couldn't remember clearly.
"Literary?"
Master Ma frowned, "It seems that when he was a boy, he secretly read books and learned calligraphy. No wonder... he grew up so fast after entering Wei Jing Academy."
He automatically recalled Xu Xing's experience.
After being rescued by Xiaoyi Tang in the fifteenth year of Guangxu's reign, he has been studying diligently...
"You go down first."
Master Ma waved his hand and asked Brother Hai to step back.
As a father and a son, it was impossible for Brother Hai to lie to him. When Xu Xing was in Xiaoyi Hall, he had a behavior of "knowing etiquette". After enrolling in Wei Jing Academy, although his rise was too fast, he still had the foundation laid in his early years...
.
"I promised him and gave him a chance..."
"It's time to go find Daochang Liu."
He thought to himself.
The head of the palace is the predetermined reputation as a scholar.
He also understands this.
…
…
real world.
Chongming twenty-one years.
Fengxi Country.
Jiangnan West Road.
Siming Mountain, a side house.
"Master Xu..."
"No matter how busy King Mourning Heaven is with official duties, he can't leave us alone for three days and three nights."
Chang Ji hurriedly broke into the door, found a chair casually, and complained to himself: "Let's talk about status, you are the eighth-rank Dian Mingcheng, and I am the fifth-rank Dingyuan General. I came all the way to seek refuge with the fourth rank.
Mingshan..., hearing how famous King Mou Tian is, who knows he is also a narrow-minded person."
"I'm afraid that our powerful dragon will overwhelm him, a local snake!"
He slapped the coffee table, his face filled with resentment.
After going south from Caohe, after two and a half days, he, Xu Xing, and King Kun Tianwang finally arrived at Siming Mountain on Jiangnan West Road.
But after arriving at Siming Mountain, what he and Xu Xing received was not the audience and attention from the King of Heaven, but they didn't even meet the King of Heaven, Yao Dang, and were driven into a side room by King Wei of Heaven.
I didn't see any sign of being eager for talents.
"King Mourning Heaven is not... a short-sighted person."
"If Siming Mountain wants to grow stronger, it's okay to rely on a group of heroes in the early stage, but in the long run, if we don't accept rebel officials like us..., it's hard to say..."
Xu Xing withdrew his gaze from the ancient bronze mirror in his mind, poured a pot of tea, poured a cup for him and Chang Ji respectively, and said slowly.
[Mirror owner: Xu Xing]
[Path Fruit: Righteous Thief (Red), Martial Arts Wizard (Bright Yellow), Wenchang (Red), Weixin (Red), Knowledgeable and Knowledgeable (White). 】
【……】
[Fate: None.]
After consciousness returns to the real world.
He first used [Dao Fruit] to solidify the red destiny [Reform] and [Wenchang].
After solidifying the destiny of [Reform], he was not idle. He first paid attention to the bad government of Siming Mountain, and then after careful consideration, he wrote several letters to reform the bad policies of Siming Mountain, and asked King Kun to hand them over to the mourner.
King Yao Dang…….
If nothing else, Mourning King Yao Dang has already read these letters.
The reason why he and Changji haven't come to see him yet... According to his guess, it must be that it is difficult to arrange positions for him and Changji, so he has been keeping them in the dark.
Chang Ji came to see him at this time and complained loudly. This was a different kind of attempt by the two of them to force King Mourning into the palace.
…
In Juyi Hall.
There are three chairs placed side by side on the main seat.
The three heavenly kings took their seats respectively.
Among them, the person occupying the top spot is Yao Dang, the King of Mourning Heaven.
He is about forty years old, dressed in luxurious purple clothes, and looks not much different from an ordinary member of the staff. However, what is worth noting is his face, which is square and upright.
"Did he really say that?"
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Yao Dang frowned slightly, "You are indeed right. If Siming Mountain wants to develop, it will be difficult to achieve it with just some green forest heroes. Since ancient times, people from the world have never been seen to be able to overthrow the imperial court...
,only……"
Difficulties arose in his heart.
If King Kun Tian had not befriended Xu Xing, he would have arranged for Xu Xing to be the military advisor of Siming Mountain, which was extremely suitable. He had also read Xu Xing's letters, and every word was full of true knowledge and insights, and he could be called a great talent.
But it happened that King Kun and Xu Xing paid homage to each other.
By letting Xu Xinglai sit in the fourth position, he was afraid that he would be ignored by Xu Xing.
"Brother, why are you hesitating?"
King Kun Tian on the left immediately shouted, "I personally saved the fourth brother. I know his talent. With the fourth brother here, Siming Mountain will be able to overthrow the imperial court sooner or later and avenge the blood of the elder brother!"
