After a few polite words in front of the mansion gate, everyone finally entered the mansion.
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone sat down.
Knowing that Wang Xi was coming today, not only Xun Shuang, but also his fellow clansman Xun Gun came to join in the fun, and brought his son Xun Yan.
The adults talked about things first, and the children were sent to play in the yard.
Xun Yuan returned to her hometown and naturally met and socialized with her former sisters. Before leaving, she asked her younger brother Xun You to accompany Wang Yao and stroll around here.
"Uncle." Wang Yao saw Xun You coming over first and greeted him.
"Axing, I heard that you were coming. Look, here are the candied fruits prepared for you. You used to like them very much."
Xun You walked over with a bag of candied fruits.
"Thank you, uncle."
In this era, food is relatively scarce, and many ingredients are not available, or even if they have not been developed, Wang Yao has a good family background. Whatever he wants to eat, he just needs to use his brain to come up with methods and substitutes, and always ask people to make it.
"Don't be anxious, eat slowly." Xun You smiled and stood beside Wang Yao.
Speaking of which, since he decided to become a disciple of Xun Shuang, the issue of seniority has become strange.
Looking at the Xun family, Wang Yao's mother Xun Yuan and Xun You are siblings, and Xun Yu is Xun You's uncle. Not long after, Wang Yao became a disciple of Xun Shuang, and Xun Shuang was Xun Yu's uncle.
The relationship on the mother's side is tangled, but fortunately the relationship on the father's side is not so complicated.
"Gongda (Xun You)."
Another scholar in blue came over and took the initiative to talk: "Is this the new student that uncle wants to accept?"
"Xiuruo (Xun Yan), you are here too." Xun You introduced: "Axing, this is the third son of Mr. Xun Zhongci (Xun You), Xun Yan, Xun Xiuruo, who can be regarded as my uncle; Xiuruo, this is my nephew who improved the papermaking technique, Wang Yao."
Xun Yan suddenly bowed and saluted, and Wang Yao was shocked and quickly held him up: "Mr. Xun, what are you doing?"
"Mr. Wang, you are extremely talented. After Marquis Cai, you have improved the papermaking technique. Since then, you have selflessly made it public for the benefit of scholars like us. Naturally, you deserve my courtesy."
Many young people are easily overwhelmed.
Wang Yao said modestly: "Brother Xun, you are too kind. I just put forward an idea. It was the craftsmen who worked day and night to complete the improvement."
"No problem, no problem. My dear brother, you have arrived in Yingchuan. We naturally have to fulfill our hospitality. Today, I have found two or three friends and are going out to play. Would you like to go with me?"
"Brother Xun invited me, how dare I refuse." Wang Yao certainly wanted to go. Xun Yan's friends would definitely not be casual people.
Then, he looked at Xun You: "Uncle, are you going?"
"My sister asked me to take care of you, so I will go with you. It's just that we are outside, and it's more appropriate for us to meet each other at the same age."
Xun You had to say this too. Who made him younger?What about him?
Besides, Xun You just got married this year, and his uncle Xun Yan is a few years younger than him. When Xun Yan talked to Wang Yao, he always called him "brother". How could he feel embarrassed to call him "nephew".
"That's fine," Wang Yao didn't care much and called out, "Brother Gongda."
The three of them sat in a carriage and went to the pavilion by the stream to meet the talented scholar from Ruying.
It didn't take long before they arrived at their destination.
Because it was a small gathering, there were not many people attending, only about ten people.
"Come on, everyone, Wang Yao, who improved the papermaking technique, is here!"
Xun Yan had a loud voice and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
He took the lead and introduced the students who came to participate.
Among the people present, there were also several people familiar to Wang Yao.
Xun Yu, Xun Chen, Xi Zhicai, Xin Pi, Du Xi, and Guo Tu are all here.
Xun Yan introduced them enthusiastically, and Wang Yao was also happy to greet them. It would not hurt to get to know them and show them some face.
These talented people, the oldest ones are just like Xun You, who has just been crowned; there are also many who are also talented and ambitious, not much older than Wang Yao.
What can a group of ancient scholars talk about when they get together?
It's nothing more than poetry, songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. When they are in high spirits, they talk about the past and the present.
From the Five Hegemons and the Seven Heroes, the Emperor Qin and Emperor Han, to the eunuchs and relatives of the Han Dynasty.
There is nothing to be afraid of when such a group of people get together.
Wang Yao is also talented and knows the past and the present. If they can talk about the same topic, they will be considered to be on good terms.
As they drank and chatted, the sun set in the west.
During this period, the alcohol content of wine was not high, and the literati's small drink was only slightly tipsy.
A group of students took a carriage and returned to the mansion to rest in the afterglow of the sunset.
Since it was Xun Yan's game, it was late, so of course they would solve the problem of housing for everyone.
When young people travel, they talk about friendship. The real confrontation is still a few years later.
Xun Mansion
After a conversation, Wang Xi and Xun Shuang naturally decided to become his apprentice.
It happened that two days later was a lucky day, and it would be the best to perform the apprenticeship ceremony, and some preparations could be made during this period.
Xun Shuang wanted to accept students, so naturally he had to have some sense of ceremony.
As an official, Wang Xi did not stay in Xun Mansion for a long time, but was received and accommodated by Yingyin County Government.
When an official of the governor level came to visit, the local county magistrate naturally did a thorough job of receiving him.
Wang Yao was left in Xun Mansion by them. Anyway, he would have to live in Xun Mansion when he studied with Xun Shuang in the future, so he should adapt to the environment first.
Xun Shuang still attached great importance to his student who was about to enter the school. Moreover, he was his junior and had the blood of Xun family flowing in his body.
Xun Shuang did not live in Yingyin County. His residence was chosen in the courtyard outside the city.
The Xun family of Yingchuan was considered a first-class aristocratic family at that time. In the local area, they formed a family clan and established a dock.Fort, this is also an action that many nobles would take.
Build a fort, train family servants, occupy land, and maintain the safety and interests of the clan.
Wang Yao was arranged in an independent small courtyard. As for meals, the servants of Xun Mansion would deliver them on time every day. The courtyard was also equipped with a kitchen, so if he wanted to cook by himself, it would be no problem.
Although there is a saying that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, this saying is mainly to persuade others to be kind, not to despise the cook.
Wang Yao boiled a pot of water, took out the tea brought from Jiangnan, and brewed a pot of water, which can refresh the mind and is more convenient than honey water.
Today, I met some Yingchuan scholars. During the chat, Xi Zhicai and Wang Yao were quite speculative. I can get in touch with them more in the future.
