Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 49

[Chapter 49]

carriage of the same generation passed Wanshengmen, even if it entered Zhongjing City. A full eight or nine feet wide Suzaku Avenue stretches out, ending at the towering palace wall at the end of the line of sight.

Chen Luo lifted the curtain of the car, and instantly felt like entering the city. This image of the bustling market made him feel as if he was in the “Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival”, and his eyes were full of freshness.

“Senior, where are we going now?” Chen Luo asked.

“Go to your mansion, Earl Wan’an’s mansion!”

Chen Luo subconsciously asked: “Give me a house? How many rings, how much flat?”

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, he suspected that Chen Luo was using uncommon words to test himself, We must not lose face, so the great Confucianism’s magical power of “searching things to know” was activated, and then he barely understood the meaning of Chen Luo’s words, and replied: “In Qing’anfang, it is considered a lively and prosperous place. As for the size, you can go and see for yourself. I know.”

Chen Luo nodded, closed the car curtain, and asked again: “Senior, what do I need to do next? Also, when can I pick up my sister and the others?”

Wei Yan stroked his beard: ” Three days later, at the court meeting, you have to go to the hall to thank you. After completing this step, your status as an earl will be considered complete. As for your house, you will be taken care of by Tong Chen, so you can rest assured for now. The old man’s suggestion is to wait for you to handle everything in Zhongjing smoothly. Now, you can take them into Beijing.”

Wei Yan paused, and then instructed: “Stay in Zhongjing with peace of mind. If you want to go out of the city, you must say hello to Wenchang Pavilion. You have driven three thousand miles to the sky, there is no guarantee that you will not Someone is going to attack you. After seeing who Wen Xiang arranges for you to worship, your future teacher should arrange a guardian for you!”

Chen Luo nodded, without Wei Yan’s instructions, he also planned to do so. Not to mention those dangers that have not yet surfaced, he has already offended the Gu Sect first.

…

The carriage wobbled for a long time, and finally stopped when the morning market was over. Chen Luo, who had been numb for a long time, opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

He raised his head, and there was a vermilion lacquered door facing him. The copper nails on the door were the size of tea bowls, and they were painted with gold lacquer, shining brightly. At this moment, there was a person standing in front of the door, dressed in bright yellow palace clothes, with a foot of red iris feathers in his hat, and holding a whisk.

The man saw Chen Luo get off the car, and noticed Wei Yan who was following behind. He immediately squeezed out a smile, stepped forward quickly, and bowed deeply: “The eunuch Wang Li, the maidservant who clears the salary, has met the great Confucian Mr. Wei, I’ve seen Wan’an Bo.”

Wei Yan glanced at Wang Li: “Did Hou An send you here?”

Wang Li didn’t dare to get up, but still bowed his waist and replied: “It was Chief Hou who sent his slaves here. , let the servants take the uncle to walk around, turn around, and don’t feel strange.”

Wei Yan nodded slightly: “It’s intentional.” Then he looked at Chen Luo: “You follow this prince Familiar with each other, the old man will go back to Wenchang Pavilion to hand over the errands. Three days later, the old man will send someone to pick you up and go to the court together. Don’t sleep late and miss the time.”

Chen Luo nodded, and then saluted Wei Yan: “Boy Write it down.”

Wei Yan smiled lightly, patted Chen Luo on the shoulder, got into the carriage again, and left slowly.

Watching Wei Yan leave, Chen Luo turned around and cupped his hands at Wang Li who had been standing respectfully by the side all the time: “Thank you, father-in-law!”

Wang Li was flattered, and hurriedly returned the greeting; “Don’t dare, uncle has broken your servant. Uncle, please!”

Wang Li led the way forward, came to the gate, pushed the door hard, and the vermilion lacquer gate slowly opened

…

Wenchang Pavilion.

“Wen Xiang, I’m back…” Wei Yan knocked on the wooden door of Wen Xiang’s quiet room.

“Come in!”

Wei Yan pushed open the door and saw Wen Xiang playing chess with a middle-aged man whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. When Wei Yan saw the middle-aged man, surprise appeared on his face, and he hurried forward to prostrate to meet him: “Student Wei Yan, I have met my mentor!” The dark-

faced man waved his hand slightly: “Okay, get up, our lineage There are not so many rules!”

Yan Baichuan   smiled and looked at Wei Yan: “The boy has settled down?”

Wei Yan quickly replied: “Hou An sent someone to take over!”

Bai Chuan messed up the chessboard casually, and said with a smile, “Back off, do you want to meet that kid?” The

black-faced man was unmoved by the words, just staring at the messed up chessboard in front of him, and said, “There are still two more steps to go.” , you will lose!”

“Huh?” Yan Baichuan frowned, “Impossible, the old man has a trick that can turn things around in an instant.” The

black-faced man raised his head and glanced at Yan Baichuan, his sleeve brushed the chessboard, then The disordered chess pieces are instantly restored to their original shape.

“Come on, let me see how you can turn things around!”

Yan Baichuan’s face changed: “Song Tuizhi! I’m trying to save face for you. You think I didn’t see that you used the ‘seeing the subtleties’ to play chess with me! Do you have supernatural powers?”

Song Tuizhi gave Yan Baichuan a sideways glance: “Don’t ask the villain to file a complaint first. It was you who took the first two steps with ‘seeing the subtleties’!”

Standing aside, Wei Yan broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. “Knowing the Works by Seeing Small Things” is a supernatural power that can only be mastered by great Confucians who have crossed the five mountains and seas. They can predict the future development of things based on a trace of signs. It is not inferior to Taoist divination. This he has not grasped yet.

It’s just that you use it to cheat in chess, is it really okay?

“Song Pifu, let me see how this old man predicts your moves!”

“Yan Pifu, let me see how this old man predicts your moves!” “How

difficult is this? Let me see how this old man predicts you and mine!”

“Hehe , the old man will judge you again and I will judge your prediction!”

Wei Yan turned around and left the place. He dared to bet that these two world-renowned Confucian scholars would not be able to play a move today even if their throats were hoarse!

How is it possible to always think about predicting magical powers, and then make every move well? It’s a good thing to get it by chance. If you hold the basics firmly and don’t make stupid moves, one or two good hands can turn things around.

Sometimes, the more you know, the harder it is to take the first step!

…

“Uncle, this is the last courtyard of the Earl’s Mansion. In the entire Earl’s Mansion, there are a total of twenty wing rooms, twelve independent small courtyards, two main halls, six side halls, and two lower courtyards. There are also eight service rooms such as stables, water rooms, and kitchens. All the furniture and objects have been assembled. If you see any repairs that need to be done, I will send the staff from the Department of Internal Affairs to come here…”

“No, no, no… “Chen Luo was a little stunned. He guessed that the Earl’s Mansion was not small, but he never thought it would be so big! This is not a mansion, this is a community… If it is converted into the previous emperor’s capital, I have such a house…   Forget

it, I dare not think about it…

“Uncle?”

Waving his hands: “No, no, I think it’s fine.”

Wang Li said with a smile: “Uncle thinks it’s good, then there’s no problem. There’s another thing, please show me.”

“Tell me.”

Wang Li quickly said: “Uncle The Lord is new here, so there are always some servants in this mansion. Do you want a servant to find a tooth shop…”

Chen Luo found out that the Earl’s Mansion is very big, and it is indeed not popular at all. They are all uncles, so there must be someone to take care of them, right? Is the dream of buying a few beautiful maids finally coming true?

Chen Luo was about to nod when he suddenly thought of a problem—

he has no money!

…

“Master, why did you come to Zhongjing suddenly?” Wei Yan handed Song Tuizhi a cup of hot tea.

“Isn’t it for the three thousand miles to the sky…” Song Tuizhi’s voice was a little hoarse.

I heard from the person on duty at Wenchang Pavilion that the last quarrel between the mentor and Wenxiang used the magical power of “slightly speaking and righteousness”.

Wei Yan was startled at first, and then a happy expression appeared on his face: “So, it’s the teacher, you want to put that kid in the door?” But then Wei Yan’s expression changed again, “In this way, wouldn’t he become my son? Junior brother, are you on the same level as me?”

Song Tuizhi took a sip of tea and moistened his throat: “You think too much, how can you be of the same generation?”

Wei Yan wondered: “Could it be that one of my senior brothers wants to accept him? This… is not safe?”

Song Retired put the teacup on the table, and said lightly: “Your ancestor asked me to come, to see how the character of the master of Tongtian Road is. If he passes the test, the old man will accept the apprentice on behalf of the teacher, and he will become the old man’s junior brother.” , your little uncle, how could he be of the same generation?”

Wei Yan froze: “My… little… uncle?”

…

At this time, Chen Luo was sitting on the roof of the main hall of the Earl’s Mansion, looking at the starry sky, and muttering Murmur: “Getting money…” The

wind shook the screen window of the sun, and the short station was forced to push it next week.
