The angel finally arrived, and both the literary party and the people in the back row knelt down to greet him. Angels, no matter how high their official position is, even if they are just the gatekeepers of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they still represent the emperor. These people are kneeling on the emperor, not this person with the title of
Angel with emperor flag.
Dong Zhongshu is not very old, a little younger than Wen Dang and a little older than Sima Xiangru. He is wearing a black official uniform, but his face is very good and white, and a few strands of beard are blowing in the wind under his chin, saying
He has an unparalleled celestial spirit. Just by looking at him, you can tell that he is a man of great knowledge.
After helping Wen Dang up, Dong Zhongshu saluted Wen Dang: "The prefect is too polite. How can I accept the prefect's gift? Everyone please get up quickly!"
Dong Zhongshu's words were warm and elegant, which made people feel very comfortable. Su Ren stood up with the crowd and carefully dusted off the dust on his body. He hated this kind of kneeling ceremony. Not only did it feel uncomfortable to kneel, but he was also psychologically hit.
In later generations, I didn't even kneel down to my parents a few times, but when I came here, I knelt down to strangers again and again, and it felt more and more natural to me. This was not a good sign.
Looking at the people in front of him talking, Su Ren stood quietly. As an official, he would naturally have all kinds of elegant nonsense greetings. Now that he is a citizen, he should have the consciousness of a citizen.
After a long time, Wen Dang introduced the officials who came with him, and finally walked up to Su Ren: "Doctor Dong, please look, this is Su Ren, a young and talented man, rare in the world!"
Dong Zhongshu nodded slightly at Su Ren. Su Ren saluted quickly, being humble and respectful, not daring to make any mistakes in front of this person. Just one glance made people feel close to him. This is the benefit of reading. The book energy in his chest can
Spread to the surroundings, making people around you feel taller.
"Yes!" Dong Zhongshu nodded: "It is indeed extraordinary. He has made such a contribution at such a young age. It is rare in the world. Your Majesty is very lucky, and I am a big man!"
"Sir, I'm so complimentary. It's just good luck. It doesn't count as any merit. I feel ashamed!"
"Hahaha!" Wen Dang said with a smile: "I have learned to be humble. Mr. Dong has never gotten along with this kid. After getting along with him for a long time, he will understand that this kid is very cunning!"
Dong Zhongshu turned his head and glanced at Wen Dang, looking at the smile on Wen Dang's face: "Prefect Wen admires you as a student?"
Wen Dang stroked his beard and said: "To be honest, Mr. Dong, I have taught several bad disciples over the years, but I am most satisfied with this student who has not been with me for a day!"
Dong Zhongshu laughed loudly: "It seems that there is something wrong with Prefect Wen's teachings!"
"Hahaha...!" Wen Dang laughed even louder. Su Ren also smiled slightly, maintaining his humility and reserve.
Everyone looked here, and they were so far away that they didn't know what happy things were said here. When leaving Su Ren's side, Dong Zhongshu looked back at Su Ren, and Su Ren responded with a shallow smile.
After meeting several merchants and people, someone reminded that the food and wine were ready. Wen Dang and Dong Zhongshu ended their meeting with everyone and walked towards the pavilion. The pavilion was just erected in the morning to welcome the angels and catch the wind.
Naturally, the banquet for washing the dust cannot be held here. According to the rules, the reception, conversation and drinking are all held ten miles away.
There was an Eight Immortals table and a few chairs, and there were only a few people who were qualified to accompany them. The others could only stand outside. Su Ren naturally belonged to the unqualified group. Seeing others eating food, drinking, chatting and laughing, Su Ren felt a little awkward. It happened to be that
Several people looked at Su Ren again, and Su Ren quickly turned his head. It was still comfortable here. Su Ren always felt nervous in front of Dong Zhongshu.
A fat face appeared in front of Su Ren with a smile on his face: "My dear, Mr. Zhuo Wangsun, Mr. Su has earned a lot of face for our merchants today!" Zhuo Wangsun said it very sincerely, with sincerity on his face.
Su Ren opened his mouth wide and looked at Zhuo Wangsun for a long time: "Zhuo Wangsun? Zhuo Wenjun's father?"
"Huh?" Zhuo Wangsun's face instantly turned green. He asked his daughter, a widowed daughter, in front of his father. Anyone who heard this felt uncomfortable.
Su Ren knew that he had said something wrong and quickly apologized: "Shopkeeper Zhuo, please forgive me, I made a mistake!"
Zhuo Wangsun exhaled and ignored Su Ren.
Su Ren chuckled and said: "Shopkeeper Zhuo, I suddenly remembered something. I wonder if Shopkeeper Zhuo is interested?"
The Zhuo family has the largest iron smelting workshop in Shu County. Su Ren is currently disrupting the Qiang land, and selling weapons to the Qiang people is also an important part of it. If they can supply iron to Su Ren, it will be a big deal for the Zhuo family.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Wangsun asked: "Mr. Su, tell me what you have to say."
Su Rendao: "I heard that your daughter is a widow at home, how about I arrange a marriage for your daughter?"
"Poof!" Zhuo Wangsun almost vomited blood. The Zhuo family has been a famous family since the Warring States Period, and this kind of thing is a humiliation to the Zhuo family. Zhuo Wangsun flicked his sleeves, left Su Ren, and walked outside.
Su Ren was unyielding and chased after Zhuo Wangsun: "Shopkeeper Zhuo, don't leave. This is a good marriage. Just listen to what I have to say. If you haven't heard who the person I want to introduce is, just
It’s so impolite to leave in a hurry!”
Zhuo Wangsun's face was livid, and he really didn't want to continue to quarrel with Su Ren. However, Su Ren not only chased him, but also said loudly that everyone around him heard it, causing everyone to point and make inferences.
Just when Su Ren was about to catch up with Zhuo Wangsun and was about to talk, Chang Shi grabbed Su Ren and said, "Are you crazy? Where is this place? You actually shout about such immoral things?"
"This is extremely immoral. One is a widow and the other is unmarried. It's just the right time to get married. What a good thing!"
The sound outside the pavilion alarmed the people inside the pavilion. Wen Dang and Dong Zhongshu stopped talking and looked at Su Ren who was pulled by Chang Shi. After listening to a few words, the two of them understood the meaning.
Dong Zhongshu glanced at Wen Dang: "Prefect Wen, this..."
Wen Dang's face was a little helpless, and he really couldn't say anything to this cheap apprentice. He cursed in his heart: "The teacher raised you up high, but you threw the teacher down!" Wen Dang couldn't answer, so he could only
He responded with an awkward smile.
Chang Shi wished he could beat Su Ren, but he couldn't do it in front of everyone, so he could only hold him hard to prevent Su Ren from breaking free from his hand. Su Ren watched Zhuo Wangsun disappear into the crowd, and had no choice but to keep quiet.
Chang Shi had an angry look on his face and said to Su Ren in a low voice: "Let's go, come with me to plead guilty to the prefect!"
Only then did Su Ren remember that he was here to welcome Dong Zhongshu today. As soon as he heard the name Zhuo Wangsun, he immediately thought of Sima Xiangru.
It will leave a reputation as a scoundrel, which is not good.
As Chang Shi came to the pavilion, Su Ren quickly saluted: "You've taken the liberty of asking the angel and the prefect to atone for your sins!"
Dong Zhongshu still had a smile on his face, with a bit of amusement in his eyes. Wen Dang's face turned red and he snorted coldly: "You're shameless, why don't you go down and receive your punishment? I'll take care of you when I have free time!"
"No!" Su Ren turned around and left.
Dong Zhongshu stopped him and said, "I just heard you say that you want to be a matchmaker for Shopkeeper Zhuo's daughter. I wonder who you are talking about?"
Most people think that Su Ren must have taken a fancy to the beauty of Prince Zhuo's grandson's daughter, so he ignored the occasion and used matchmaking as an excuse to find this girl for himself. Dong Zhongshu asked this, and he must have thought so. But he never thought that Su Ren was completely
It was because of the influence of "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" that I wholeheartedly wanted to protect Sima Xiangru's matchmaking.
"Reporting to the angel, there is Sima Xiangru in the lower house, who is also a very learned man. He suddenly heard the name of Shopkeeper Zhuo, so he took the opportunity to protect Mr. Sima as a matchmaker."
"Oh? Is it really not for you?"
Su Ren was stunned for a moment, then understood and waved his hands repeatedly: "It's really not for me! Mr. Sima was a regular martial arts attendant in the late emperor's dynasty, and he was quite talented in literature. I know that Zhuo Wenjun, the daughter of shopkeeper Zhuo, is also a master of Cifu. I wonder if these two people are here.
Becoming husband and wife is a beautiful thing, and there is absolutely no other thought."
Wen Dang let out a sigh of relief and quickly explained: "I have also seen that Sima Xiangru, and he can be regarded as a master of poetry. However, his daughter is a widow, and you are talking nonsense in public. How can you behave like this?"
Dong Zhongshu smiled and said: "Su Ziheng is really a man of temperament! I wonder if Sima Xiangru is here, why not invite him to meet him?"
Sima Xiangru was among the crowd. When he heard that Su Ren wanted to propose marriage to Zhuo Wangsun on his behalf, he felt bad. At this time, the angel wanted to see him again, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. However, the angel invited him again.
He had no choice but to walk out of the crowd. It was such a short journey, and Sima Xiangru was sweating profusely. The sound of arguments behind him made Sima Xiangru breathless.
He gave Su Ren a resentful look, and his meaning was very clear: Brother, you are shameless, but I still want shame!
After the ceremony, Sima Xiangru stood next to Su Ren. Dong Zhongshu looked at Sima Xiangru and said, "You are indeed a talented person. Sir, he is a gift to everyone. Can you play a song so that we can see it too?"
Su Ren looked around and saw that there was a Yao Qin in Dong Zhongshu's car. He excitedly moved it over and handed it to Sima Xiangru. Sima Xiangru had the intention of killing Su Ren. He looked at the Yao Qin and then looked at it.
It is not the case whether Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang are connected, it is also wrong if they are not connected.
"Don't be shy! I guarantee that Wangsun Zhuo's daughter is definitely worthy of you!"
"Hey! You made a careless friend!" Sima Xiangru took the Yao Qin, glared at Su Ren fiercely, and said to Wen Dang and Dong Zhongshu: "In this case, I have made a fool of myself!"
The sound of the piano sounded, and Su Ren stood aside with his eyes closed to feel the charm of the music. Unexpectedly, in the carriage on the roadside, a maid was pouting and getting angry at the young lady next to her: "Miss, that person is too
Damn it, this is your Yaoqin, he took it as he asked and asked that person to play it, it’s so outrageous!"
The young lady smiled lightly and said: "Hearing the sound of the piano, he is indeed a great master, so it is not in vain that I lend him the piano!"
"Why are you borrowing it? It was obviously that boy who took it by force! When we get to Chengdu, let the master take care of him!" The maid said with an angry look on her face: "I heard everything. That boy's name is Su Ren, huh!"
The lady gently opened the corner of the car curtain and looked out. She didn't see Sima Xiangru playing the piano, but she saw Su Ren shaking his head. The lady was shocked: "It turns out to be him!" (To be continued)
