The elder brother who travels through is hard to do

After Jiang Ce's questioning words came out, the southern scribes present couldn't help showing embarrassment, especially Hai Qing, who had invited Jiang Ce, was even more embarrassed and secretly annoyed.Although Shenzhi didn't say anything back then, he could also see that the relationship between Shenzhi and his elder brother was not very harmonious. The reason is not difficult to detect. As the eldest son, he is not only inferior in literary talent to his younger brother, but also inferior to his younger brother, Jiang Dashi. At that time, Shenzhi didn't want to fight with his elder brother, and as an outsider, he couldn't say anything.

Now that Shenzhi has passed away, he thought that Jiang Ce, as Jiang's eldest son and Shenzhi's elder brother, would have a slight change in temperament, but he still couldn't let go. The young man surnamed Xu will not soon face Jiang Ce's confrontation.

He firmly believed that Xu Minqing must be the descendant of Shen Zhi, it is rare for people in the world to have such a similar person, what would it be if it were not for blood relationship.Speaking of the old servant that day, Hai Qing thought of the clever book boy who accompanied Shen Zhi back then, could it be that person?

Jiang Ce didn't cover up the thoughts in his heart at all, and showed it on his face, so that the scribes from the south didn't know what to say. He was in the north and was sheltered by Prince Xiao's mansion, so he didn't know how grateful he was. It was only a matter of blurting out the ambition of Prince Xiao's mansion.Even they knew that Grand Master Fu would not have allowed Jiang's family to survive when they exiled Jiang's family in the North. If it hadn't been for the Xiao Wangfu's protection, how could Jiang Ce and his family have survived to this day?

The scene suddenly became much quieter. After a few polite words, everyone turned the topic to poetry instead of talking about state affairs.

Seeing this, Jiang Ce's face darkened even more. He thought it was because the Jiang family was in decline, and these people looked down on him. Jiang Ce was annoyed, these literati who regarded themselves as gentlemen were just a bunch of flattering villains, vain scholars.

Lu Yunzhi accompanied Liu Shanzhang to entertain the group of guests. Seeing Jiang Ce's reaction in silence, he thought it was no wonder the prince and the fourth son hadn't contacted Jiang Ce these years. The fourth son said that Min Qing could handle it. There shouldn't be any problem, I can't help worrying about my students, the more outstanding Min Qing is now, the more proud he is, and he doesn't want to be frustrated because of such family elders.

A servant came over and whispered something in Lu Yunzhi's ear, Lu Yunzhi raised his head in surprise.

Liu Shanchang turned his head and asked, "What's the matter with Yunzhi?"

Lu Yunzhi said: "Master Shan, Minqing is right outside the door."

Liu Shan smiled and said: "Then bring it in, uncle and nephew will meet sooner or later, some things are better explained in person."

Lu Yunzhi said respectfully: "Yes, the students will bring him in." After speaking, he got up and hurried out.

Lu Yunzhi followed his servants to the door, and saw Xu Minqing and his elder brother talking about something. Standing behind him was a servant of Xu's family. He had also seen that person before. Jiang Hong, the former servant of the Jiang family that he mentioned that day.

"Sir." "Lord Lu."

Seeing Lu Yunzhi come out, the Xu Bei brothers went up to meet him.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the two, Lu Yunzhi didn't seem too worried, so he was relieved, but he still talked about Jiang Ce's attitude so that the two of them could be prepared.

Xu Bei sneered unceremoniously: "I expected it would not go so smoothly, but I didn't expect him to treat Min Qing as a villain who wanted to take advantage of the Jiang family's reputation, that's all, I didn't intend to let Min Qing change his surname to Jiang. , it's better to be my Xu family."

Xu Minqing obediently stood beside his elder brother, as if his elder brother did whatever he said, without any look of panic, Lu Yunzhi couldn't help laughing secretly.What Xu Bei said is also reasonable, others don't like it, so there is no need to post it, not to mention Yi Minqing's intelligence and talent, sooner or later he will be cast, even if he doesn't rely on the reputation of Third Young Master Jiang, his ideas are also in Yanzhou Spread the word in the city.

Lu Yunzhi smiled and said: "It seems that I was worrying too much, so that's good, Mr. Xu, please."

"Okay, Mr. Lu, wait a moment, there is another person in the car. Auntie, get out of the car." Xu Bei turned around and called for someone.

Jiang Hong lifted the curtain of the car and helped a woman from the carriage. She looked about 50 to [-] years old.Xu Minqing also went to help her, calling her "Auntie", but the woman looked up at Min Qing with gratified and worried eyes, grabbed Min Qing's hand and asked, "Is it really all right? How can the uncle doubt the identity of the young master?"

"Auntie, don't worry, yes, yes, yes, no, brother is right, I was raised by the Xu family." Xu Minqing patted the woman's hand and comforted her. The woman's lips trembled and she wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back , looked at Jiang Hong in embarrassment, but Jiang Hong respected Xu Minqing and stood aside respectfully, the woman could only sigh secretly.

Lu Yunzhi suddenly realized when the woman named her. The Xu Bei brothers also called their aunts. It can be seen that this woman sent Min Qing to Xu's family. This woman is probably Jiang Hong just like Jiang Hong. The old servant of the family, so Min Qing's identity is confirmed.

Lu Yunzhi was also completely relieved.

The four of Xu Minqing followed Lu Yunzhi into the room. No one noticed the latter when he left, but when he came back, he attracted everyone's attention because of the addition of a handsome young man. Without him, the young man was exactly what Jiang Ce questioned before. The true lord of the Northland, a young talent newly emerged in the Northland.

The convincing and fascinating policy theory in the competition really made the young man worthy of the title of young talent.

Jiang Ce followed the gazes of others, and almost cried out at the first glance, as if the third younger brother from back then had reappeared in front of everyone.

Could it be the third brother's newborn child?He didn't die with his third brother back then, but was rescued?

Seeing Jiang Ce's dazed attitude, Hai Qing thought to himself how the young Jiang Ce still denied his identity as a young man. He couldn't believe that there was such a similar person in the world.Looking behind the young man, the middle-aged man with his hands on both sides and a respectful attitude can still vaguely see the outline of the book boy beside Shen Zhi. Others may mistake him, but in his opinion, this is the only one who is loyal to Shen Zhi The book boy can't be mistaken.

"Shan Zhang." Xu Minqing respectfully saluted Liu Shanzhang. Xu Bei can actually respect literati, except for a few people who look at people with their nostrils, such as the former Lord Yan. Now he doesn't know where he is now.

"Minqing is here, it's good to be here, some things can be clarified in person." Liu Shanchang stroked his beard and smiled. He didn't like Jiang Ce's undisguised malicious speculation about Beidi, but because of his identity What can I say?

"Yes, Master Shan." Xu Minqing replied with a smile.

Seeing him so calm and unhurried, others looked at him and secretly praised him. Even if he is not a descendant of Mr. Jiang, this young man will not be buried, and sooner or later he will become famous.Moreover, his eyes are clear and straight, and his description is frank, which is not the Xiaoxiao that Jiang Ce described.

"Jiang Hong! Sure enough, you are a bold slave. What is your intention to betray your master and recognize others as your master?" Jiang Ce took a long time to look away from Xu Minqing, and saw Jiang standing behind him at a glance. Hong, this bold slave, was in vain when he saw him come to join him after his third brother left, and still accepted him as his servant, but he pampered a dog slave.

The literati who recited poems and painted paintings at the scene lingered on Jiang Ce and Xu Minqing from time to time, and whispered in private. Xu Minqing said that he had an old servant of Jiang's family that day, which seemed to be true. Policy is going to fail today.

Jiang Hong was standing obediently at first, but raised his head when he saw this. Although he was a servant, he had seen a lot of the world with the third son of Jiang, and this kind of occasion could not make him stage fright.He took a step forward, bowed to Jiang Ce, and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Master, the young one has only one master. After the master left, the young one never believed that the young master went with him. I have been looking for the whereabouts of the young master all these years. The master has a spirit underground, so the little one finally found the little master, and then returned to the little master."

"You say he is the third brother's child? What evidence do you have? Just by his appearance, he can be recognized as the young master?" Jiang Ce pointed at Xu Minqing and scolded him. After meeting him and Jiang Hong, he still refused to admit his identity.

"I'm sure, this is the young master." Jiang Hong said firmly.

"You..." Jiang Ce was in a hurry, this dog slave has turned his back on the heavens.

"Brother Jiang, be safe and don't be impatient," Hai Qing hurriedly came out to persuade, "I also knew the book boy who was next to Shen Zhi back then. Since Jiang Hong believed that he must have his reasons, let alone this young man's appearance, it is difficult for people to Deny his relationship with Shenzhi."

Jiang Ce looked at Xu Minqing again, but saw him standing with a smile on his face, as if nothing could be shaken, Jiang Ce suddenly felt his eyes were stabbed, and the smile on the corner of his lips seemed to turn into a smile towards him. Just like the third brother in the past, he didn't even pay attention to his elder brother, and looked over with a smile like this, suddenly felt that the smile was extremely annoying, and he had no respect for him, and said coldly : "There are many similarities in the world, and it is hard to believe without evidence."

The implication is that he will not recognize this nephew based on his appearance alone without other evidence.

Others looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling that Jiang Ce's attitude was a little too much. If someone else saw someone who looked so similar to his deceased brother, he probably couldn't help but want to ask about it. It seems that he has decided that the young man has bad intentions. generation.

Xu Minqing was still smiling and did not refute.Since Xu Bei agreed to let Min Qing decide, he naturally stood still, but his eyes were not polite, and he threw a cold knife at Jiang Ce. Fortunately, Min Qing came to Xu's house since he was a child, otherwise he would be punished like this If he is raised by someone, he will probably have to be raised to be as stupid as him.

"Come here!" Jiang Ce raised his chin and said to Xu Minqing.

Xu Minqing took the first two steps, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Jiang please advise."

"Who is your name, and where are you from?" Jiang Ce was even more displeased to see his attitude.

"The student's surname is Xu, and his name is Minqing. He is from Shangpo Village, Kang County." Xu Minqing replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"You said you were the third brother's child?" Jiang Ce asked, staring at him.

Xu Minqing smiled, and replied: "Three years ago, Jiang Hong found the student and said that the student was from Jiang's family, but the student denied it."

"Then why do you still keep Jiang Hong? Still claiming to be a descendant of my third brother?" Jiang Ce was aggressive.

"Jiang Hong stayed here voluntarily, and he was not a servant. The student did not claim to be a descendant of the third son of Jiang. The student said that my surname is Xu and my name is Minqing." Identity is very disdainful.

Because of this disdain, Jiang Ce was even more annoyed: "Then why did my third brother's relics fall into your hands? You neither recognize my third brother's identity as a descendant, but also occupy my third brother's relics, making the world misunderstand. What is your intention?" ?”

Jiang Hong snapped: "My lord misunderstood, the master's relics were given to the young master by the young one. Back then, the master asked the young one to protect the box of books and entrusted them to a trustworthy person. Dust." Speaking of this matter, Jiang Hong still got angry, the box of books arrived at Mr. Jiang's place, at first Mr. Jiang flipped through it to get some books, but later he found that Master Qi's cherished books were thrown everywhere by Mr. Qi, Feeling distressed, he secretly put it away, so that it was not damaged, otherwise he would have failed his master's entrustment.

Jiang Hong wiped his tears again and said: "Master's wish has been realized in the hands of the little master, and the little master used the name of the master as the name of the bookstore, let the world praise the master, I am happy, and I will have the face to go underground to see you in the future." Master."

"Bookstore? You mean Shenzhi Bookstore? Is it run by Mr. Xu?"

"I heard that Shenzhi Shusi has figured out a new and convenient printing method, which has greatly reduced the price of books and made it more affordable for more people."

"This is a great thing. I didn't expect it to be named after the third son of Jiang, and the third son of Jiang will one day become famous in the north."

The scribes present were discussing a lot. They heard the name of Shen Zhi Shu Si when they came here. They were very interested in it. If they paid more attention to it, they knew that Shen Zhi Shu Si had developed from one family to many in a short period of time, and it was not limited to Yanzhou. The word "City" and "Shen Zhi" will sooner or later become a familiar name in the north, and it will only take time to spread to the south.

Looking at Xu Minqing's eyes again, he admired him even more, and secretly envied the Third Young Master Jiang. With such a beautiful son who made him famous, he could die in peace.

Turning his head to look at Jiang Ce, his eyes became weird. Such an outstanding young man Jiang Ce was willing to push him away. If they were replaced, even if they had nothing to do with him, he would have already recognized him. Shen Zhishu, that would benefit scholars all over the world The book store in their house has already made people arch up.

"What Shen Zhi Shu Si? A Shu Zhi has such a great reputation?" Jiang Ce has only been out for a short time, and Hai Qing will not have time to talk about outside affairs in the future, so his knowledge is limited, and he is even more dissatisfied with Shen Zhi Shu Si's actions. Clearly, he turned his attention to Hai Qing, hoping that Hai Qing could explain clearly.

He even secretly blamed Hai Qing for picking him up, why didn't he explain such an important matter clearly, seeing the reactions of others, he calmed down a bit, it seemed that this bookstore was extremely important.

Hai Qing briefly said in a few words, can he be blamed for not explaining before, he didn't know about it at first, it seems that he just confirmed it after seeing the reaction of the scribes in the Northland, it can be seen that Young Master Xu also concealed it before, how can this be possible? Said that he used Jiang Sangong's reputation for his own use.He looked at Xu Minqing with relief, Shen Zhi could close his eyes underground with such a beautiful son.

"A new printing method? Xu Minqing, where did you get it at such a young age? Could it be that you found it in the books of my third brother?" Jiang Ce asked loudly. He didn't believe that Xu Minqing could do so much at such a young age. What the predecessors could not do, let alone appeared three years ago, when he was only 12 years old, what can a 12-year-old child do?Jiang Hong happened to find him three years ago, and the timing was just right.
