I was a gentleman in ancient times

"Hey! Everyone is here! It's Su who came late, and I'm here to make amends to everyone." Wei Su smiled and saluted.I didn't expect everyone to come so early, if I knew he would have come here earlier.

Wen Liang was not polite to him either, "I know you are late, what's the use of apologizing? Just punish you for making a few more words like this."

Wei Su frowned, "This is embarrassing for Su, you all know I'm not good at telling stories."

This story was originally thought up by Wei Su, that’s right. At the beginning, he told such strange things, but because he didn’t have the talent to tell stories, he just narrated the ups and downs of the obviously good story in a flat way. .Later, other people really couldn't listen to it anymore. According to Wei Su's stalk, they added flesh and blood to the soul, which made the whole story fuller.

But now the whole story has nothing to do with what Wei Su told at the beginning. Even Wei Su himself can't help feeling, ah!It turns out that this story can still be told in this way. Look at this hook, it really makes people want to stop!It's a pity that I don't have this talent, so I'm destined not to learn it.

At this time, Wei Su didn't know that it was from this "Mountain Ghosts and Monsters" that a new school was born, that is, 'novelists'.Hanshu once said: Novelists are popular among barnyard officials; street talk is created by hearsayers.Note①

That is to say, the records of gossip in the streets and alleys are written into books, most of which are hearsay and not in the mainstream.

And now, under the inspiration of Wei Su, they compile stories, ghosts, historical legends, miscellaneous life, etc. can be written into books.However, it is not like the world that used to gradually decline, but it is prosperous and has its own school, which is very popular among the world.

These are just digressions, Wei Su was ridiculed by everyone, so he had to harass him again and again, and everyone let him go.

Today they were summoned by Huangfu Yong. Firstly, the Tao family had sent over last month's paper and account book, and secondly, they had something important to say.

"Master Jijiu, everyone is here, if you have anything to say, just say it." Someone urged.

Huangfu Yong nodded, "The day before yesterday, I received a letter from the Lou State envoy from their monarch, saying that the Weishui League will be held on the shore of the Weishui River in the near future, and I asked the old man to attend."

It turned out to be this matter, and many of them had heard of it.The Lord of the Lou Kingdom is ambitious, and the purpose of holding the Weishui League this time is self-evident, which is to establish the status of the Lou Kingdom as the overlord.

To put it simply, he is the biggest in this world, and his rules and words, you small countries have to listen to him.Otherwise, don't blame him for taking the initiative to teach people.

Wei Su wondered, "Why does the Lou State propose an alliance at this time? Will the Bei Congress agree to Lou's request?" Although the Lou State has always been used to the king.But there is still a country called Bei, which has always been at odds with him, for Bei country, which can barely compete with him, he still has some fears.

Chu Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't you know? The king of Bei is seriously ill, and the new king has not yet been decided. Now Bei is almost in a mess, too busy to take care of himself. How can there be time to take care of other things?"

Wei Su slapped his head, and he remembered that Xun Qi asked for leave and rushed back to Bei country before, it seemed that it was because of this.

This also makes sense, the reason why Lou State proposes the Weishui alliance now is presumably to take advantage of the situation when Bei State is in chaos and no one from other countries dares to oppose it, to settle this matter.

Although the behavior of such a hooligan Lord Lou is despised by the world, but other people are weak and helpless, so how dare they say that they are not here?

"So, I ask you to work hard to take care of the school during these days when the old man is away." Huangfu Yong entrusted everyone.

Everyone stood up and returned the salute, "Where is the Lord Jijiu, Yingyang Academy belongs to all of us, this is the right thing to do, why should the Lord Jijiu personally entrust it."

Huangfu Yong explained some matters, and then let the crowd disperse.

Wei Su was still thinking about what kind of benefits and consequences the Lou National Alliance would bring this time, and what kind of changes there would be in the future.Hearing that Huangfu Yong asked him to stay, he should have something to say to him alone.

After everyone had left, Huangfu Yong brought Wei Su to the inner room, then found a letter and handed it to Wei Su, "Look at this first."

Wei Su was at a loss for a while, took it and scanned it quickly. It was okay at first, but then he couldn't help being surprised, "This? This is a letter from Lord Lou. Do you want me to go?"

Huangfu Yong nodded with a smile, "That's right, this is the letter written by Lord Lou, asking you to go to Weishui to meet each other."

Wei Su's head was in a state of confusion, and he said blankly, "Why do you want me? No, how did Lord Lou know such an unknown person like me? He even asked me by name to see me. It shouldn't be."

Huangfu Yong shook his head, did Wei Su misunderstand his own fame?Ever since Wei Su entered the Yingyang Academy and became famous in the first battle, his name has spread to the ears of the kings of all countries. "How can you belittle yourself? Your name, Wei Su, is probably already spread all over the world."

"Ah? Why did you say that?" Wei Su couldn't believe it.

"Do you still remember that when you first entered the Yingyang Academy, the envoys from various countries came to the old man's door and wanted to see you?"

Wei Su thought for a while, then nodded, as if he had heard Mr. Huangfu mention it, but he didn't care about it at the time, not only because he didn't want to get involved in these troublesome things, so Mr. Huangfu rejected him, and he didn't see any of them.

"This? Is it related?" Wei Su wondered.

Huangfu Yong was helpless, "As envoys, why did they come to Yingyang Academy? Isn't it just to select talents for the kings of various families? As long as talented people fall into their eyes, they will record and organize them for the king, and wait for the future. Use it when you get the chance.”

This Wei Su has heard of it before, "So, they want to see me because they want to persuade me to help their monarch? How... how do they know if I have this ability? Governing the country is not like giving lectures. There's a huge difference."

"Do you really think that all those who enter Yingyang Academy are useless? Or do you underestimate yourself too much, and recommend yourself as a gentleman like you. If you can pass the assessment of all the gentlemen in the academy, for thousands of years, except for Zhang Chu, You are the second." Huangfu Yong stroked his beard and said.

Seeing that Wei Su seemed to understand, Huangfu Yong did not continue this topic with him, "What do you think?"

Wei Su didn't want to cause trouble, but he didn't know if refusing would make it more troublesome.He still hasn't figured out many rules in this world, if his unintentional mistakes cause big troubles, the gains will outweigh the losses.

After thinking about it, he frowned and said with a smile: "What does Mr. Huangfu think of the boy?"

"You want the old man to tell the truth?" Huangfu Yong narrowed his eyes slightly and asked back.

Wei Su gave him a deep bow, "I don't understand a lot of things in the world, sir, so please enlighten me."

Huangfu Yong waved his hand, "If you don't have other important matters, I would suggest you to go there. One, after all, it is the invitation of Lord Lou, if you just ignore it, it will only spread that you, Wei Su, are defiant." , this is not a good thing for you."

Huangfu Yong paused for a moment, glanced at Wei Su, and saw that he nodded in agreement with his statement, and then continued: "Secondly, this matter is considered to be a major event in the world for decades, and it's just the right time for me to witness it. fortunate."

What Huangfu Yong said made sense, Wei Su thought for a while, and said kindly: "That's good, since that's the case, then it's good for Wei Su to learn more with Mr. Huangfu."

"However..." Wei Su still had some scruples. He is an academic, and he is really not good at dealing with people in the officialdom.But he heard that Lord Lou is arrogant and conceited, in case there is something inconsiderate...

Huangfu Yong saw his worries, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your identity as Mr. Yingyang Xuegong is here, no one will dare to touch you. As a king, you dare not act rashly, as long as you are a smart person, you will not dare to act rashly." Risk the world's displeasure, otherwise, if it spreads to the world, this reputation will be lost."

Hearing this, Wei Su suddenly became enlightened. In today's world, everyone believes in their reputation, and basically they will not do anything that will damage their reputation.As far as my identity is concerned, even if the conversation collapses, if there is any unpleasantness, as a monarch, I will not do anything to you.Instead, he will treat each other with courtesy, to show his generosity to others, and to win the praise of the people. For the king, this is the most important thing.

So Wei Su felt relieved, happily packed his luggage, and planned to travel at public expense.It's just that he was still a little worried about leaving his younger sister Wei Zhen alone.The two siblings have never been separated since they lived together, and the younger sister is young, what should I do if I can't take care of myself?

He has the mentality of an old father, and when he mentioned it in front of Wei Zhen, Wei Zhen gave him a big roll of eyes.Then continue to work on the things in your hands, "You go as soon as you want, why are you acting like a little lady, you just take care of yourself, why worry about me?"

Wei Su had a mouthful of old blood in his heart. Where did that little girl who was once gentle and understanding go?This is the impatient to drive him away, right?

"I'm not worried about you. It's not a matter of a day or two for me to leave. How can you rest assured that you are alone?"

Xu felt Wei Su's worry and reluctance, Wei Zhen paused her movements, her voice was a little low, "I know my brother has something important to do, you just go back early. I can take care of myself, besides As for Aunt Zhou, what else is there to worry about?"

After finishing speaking, she rubbed her eyes vigorously with her hands, forcing back the moisture in her eyes.She raised her head and said with a smile: "Everyone in this academy is very nice, none of them will bully Ah Zhen, besides, there is still foster father, I am not alone."

She knew in her heart that her brother was going to do big things, and she couldn't be a stumbling block for her brother, so she had to grow up as soon as possible, and she couldn't let her brother worry about her.

Why didn't Wei Su understand Wei Zhen's thoughts, but he didn't point it out. He touched the top of her head with a smile, and said softly: "Well, brother knows, and he will come back as soon as the matter is over. Sigh! I don't know when I will go out this time." Only then can you eat the meals and snacks made by Ah Zhen."

Wei Su amused Wei Zhen with a sigh and a sad face, "Now my brother can still think about the food I cook, but I won't be sure in the future." The kitchen was set on fire, and from then on she never dared to let her brother come within three feet of the kitchen.

But Wei Su's appetite is really tricky, he dislikes that this is not delicious, and that is not delicious.There is no way, this also prompted Wei Zhen to gradually learn the cooking method taught to her by her brother.

At this time, the cooking method is very simple, nothing more than stewing and so on. Wei Su specially asked someone to make an iron pot.Come up with a variety of stir-fried dishes and cooking dishes, and the recipes of the dishes are even more varied.Luckily, Wei Zhen is smart, she can see through a little bit, often when Wei Su says it, she can do it once or twice, and she will be able to meet the requirements.

But after hearing Wei Su's complaints, he also began to worry, what should he do if his brother can't eat well?

"Or you can take Aunt Zhou with you. Aunt Zhou can also cook now. With her taking care of my brother, there will be no problem." Wei Zhen suggested.

Wei Su was just joking, since he really needed a cook, he quickly refused.It was enough for him to take Zhou Chengcheng along the way, Tie Sanniang had better take care of Wei Zhen, otherwise he would really feel worried and leave.

It was Wei Su's good talk that dispelled Wei Zhen's thoughts, and Wei Su stopped disturbing Wei Zhen's work and withdrew.

As soon as he looked up, he saw that Qin Zhan seemed to be waiting for him.Wei Su was also looking for him, but unexpectedly he came over, "Are you looking for me? Why don't you let someone tell you?" I don't know how long Qin Zhan has been waiting.

Qin Zhan just nodded, not as enthusiastic as usual, and his face was a little gloomy.

Wei Su sensed that his mood was not right, "What's wrong?"

Qin Zhan couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in a warm greeting, and his eyes turned red instantly.He was reluctant to part with Qin Zhan, but now he had to leave.

Knowing that Qin Zhan must have something to do, Wei Su pondered for a moment, then said, "Come with me." He was about to tell him about his going to Weishui, and it is not convenient to talk about things here.

Bringing Qin Zhan to the study, the two sat down, Wei Su said: "It happens that I have something to tell you, if you have anything, just tell me."

Qin Zhan didn't know how to open his mouth. When he received a letter today, it was as if the sky had fallen. When he thought of leaving Yingyang Academy and Weisu, his heart ached.

"Since sir has something to say, why don't you talk about your matter first." Qin Zhan lowered his head, not wanting to reveal his emotions in front of Wei Su.

Wei Su looked at him a little strangely. Today's Qin Zhan is very different from usual. I don't know what happened to make him so abnormal. "But what happened in the West Qin royal court?" Wei Su could only think of this.

Qin Zhan shook his head, seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Wei Su was also very helpless.I had to mention my own affairs, "I was going to find you if you didn't come. In a few days, I will go to Weishui with Lord Jijiu to participate in the Weishui League. By the way, you should know Weishui About the alliance?"

Qin Zhan raised his head suddenly, and lost his voice: "What? Weishui Huimeng?"

"That's right! It's been spread all over the academy these days, I thought you knew it!"

The point is not here, Qin Zhan has been unable to hold himself, "Sir... Sir, you said... are you going to the Weishui League?"

Wei Su nodded, "Yeah! I didn't plan to go at first. Mr. Jijiu said that it would be bad if he didn't go because of the invitation from Lord Lou, so I'll make it difficult for me to go."

"Great!" Finally, there was no need to leave immediately, Qin Zhan hugged Wei Su excitedly, "Sir, sir, we can be together!"
