Wei Ang took a breath and said that the more people study, the more powerful they are. After being stunned for a long time, he said: "Brother Pei, you want to write a book, do you want my help? I don't ask for much, as long as you finish writing it." , just give me a copy of the manuscript and let me read it first."
Pei Ziyun thought for a while: "I would like to thank Brother Wei here. I do need Brother Wei's help. This is a collection of university annotations. It is not yet complete. It needs to be dedicated to the famous books of the university."
"There are many manuscripts and printed copies in the Gongyuan, and they are not rare. It's just that I need the handwriting of a famous artist. I want to learn the charm and insights from them, and turn them into fine products in one fell swoop."
Wei Ang nodded repeatedly after listening to Pei Ziyun's words and sighed: "Brother Pei's talent will be famous all over the world in the future. I can only look forward to it."
"I will help you with your needs, don't worry!"
After some time, the rain stopped outside the palace, and everyone in the palace swarmed out. Wei Ang said goodbye to Pei Ziyun, and hurried back to the Marquis Mansion. When he returned to the palace, the guard at the door saluted: "Young Master!"
Wei Ang nodded briefly to return the favor and entered the courtyard. The maid happened to take an umbrella and come out. As soon as she came out, she said: "Hey, Master, you are back. I was just worried that it would rain again, so I was going to go to the Gongyuan to find you. , I didn’t expect you to come back.”
"Young Master, I'm such an old man, why do you still have to worry about me? I'm fine. You can ask Mr. Shen to come to my courtyard later. I'll see him if I have something to do." Wei Ang sat back down, took out the cold tea and drank it Go down.
"Yes, Master, I will go and ask for Mr. Shen right away." The maid walked towards the road. Mr. Shen usually handles things in the study, so it is very convenient to find him.
Seeing her going to call someone, Wei Ang took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to grind the ink. Not long after, there were footsteps and a maid's voice shouted in front of the door: "Master, sir has arrived."
"Please come in!" Wei Ang Yanmo said.
The door was pushed open, and the maid led Shen Zhi into the room. Wei Ang saw Shen Zhi coming in: "You go down first, I have something to tell sir."
"Yes, sir." The maid replied obediently, walked backwards and went out, then turned around and closed the door behind her.
Wei Ang asked casually: "Sir, what have you been doing recently?"
Shen Zhi did not answer, but asked with a smile: "Young Master has figured it out and wants to get involved in the affairs of the house?"
Wei Ang refused: "I still read my books and follow my teachings. Sir, don't be excited. I have something important to do with you. I went to Gongyuan with Pei Ziyun today and saw that he wrote a book, although it was only a rough draft. , but I read a few articles, and they are absolutely conclusive, the meaning of the words is penetrating, and it can open up a new door - I will write it for you."
"Master, if you say poems, I would believe you. But if you say that this son will write a book now, I don't believe it. Writing a book and establishing a biography are the three most important things of establishing merit, virtue, and reputation. Pei Ziyun is only fifteen years old. , even if I am successful enough to write "Journey into the Wine", it is too difficult to imagine writing a book." After hearing this, Shen Zhi said.
Wei Ang smiled: "Sir, don't worry. You know that I have been smart since I was a child. Although I don't have a photographic memory, I can remember many articles as long as I read them once."
"This book is profound, I can't remember all of it, but it won't be a problem to remember a few articles in a short period of time. I'll write it for you, and you'll understand." Wei Ang Mo Yan picked up the dragon and wolf brush and started writing.
On the rice paper, a small pen was used to write very quickly. In less than a quarter of an hour, he finished writing. He blew the ink and read it while sighing: "Every word of this article is classic. Mr. Shen, come and take a look." Then you will know.
Shen Zhi picked up the rice paper and looked at it, and sighed: "The word "Gongzi" is also beneficial. If you don't read the paper, reading this word is just for the eyes."
After saying that, he continued to look at it. He didn't take it seriously at first, but gradually his expression changed a little and he became serious.
"Huh" Shen read it once, took a deep breath, said nothing, continued to read it again, and finally read it for the third time before putting it down, with a solemn expression on his face.
"Third Young Master, you still don't know how powerful this article is!"
"Although this article has not yet been completed, the pattern has been established. If it is completed, those who want to study in great universities in the future will definitely give way to this son. It seems that I still underestimate the heroes of the world. Pei Ziyun is really a genius."
"Young master, please get closer to this person." Shen Zhi said while cupping his hands.
"Haha, Mr. Shen, I think so too. It's just that Brother Pei also asked me to help him find famous people who run the university. He also wanted to find manuscripts for review. I usually don't care about things and can't do many things, so I asked Mr. Pei to help me. ." Wei Ang made the request.
"I just said that Young Master, you are looking for me just like this. It turns out that this is why you are here. I will live up to Young Master's expectations." Shen Zhi stopped his smile and said seriously, with a hint of darkness appearing in his eyes.
When Shen Zhi walked out of the door, he lost his smile, called for instructions, and went straight to a place with only three rooms. It was located on the west side of the Hou Mansion. There were large cabinets everywhere when he came in, and inside the cabinets were all A volume of documents, each labeled with a different label.
Shen Zhi opened one, took out a document, marked Pei Ziyun, and read it carefully.
After a long time, a palace guard knocked on the door. It was Shen Zhi who had just ordered someone to invite the largest bookseller in the state. The boss came in, his face turned pale, and he knelt down: "Sir, I didn't know you invited me here. , what’s the matter?”
Shen Zhi stretched out his hand to open the folding fan and fanned it: "Don't be afraid. My young master is looking for the original of the famous works of Zhuanzhi University. I thought about it and found that you can find it, so I ordered you to come. If you will If you do this well, the benefits will not be lost on you."
The bookseller raised his head and saw a straight and elegant smile.
As soon as Shen Zhi waved his hand, a man came up with silver taels. Shen Zhi pointed at ten ingots of silver and said, "The Marquis's house has clear rewards and punishments. This is one hundred taels of silver. You can use it as a deposit first. If you find the book, the master will be satisfied." , I won’t let you down.”
The bookseller looked at the ten pieces of silver and his face was filled with joy. It seemed that the Marquis had done nothing wrong with him and wanted to do business with him. He was happy for a while.
Just now, I was checking accounts with someone in the store, and was suddenly called over by the palace guard. I thought I had offended the Hou family, and I was so frightened that I was shaking all over. I didn't want to find a book, so I flattered him: "Thank you, sir. I will find it for you." "
Shen Zhi nodded, very satisfied with the bookseller's response: "If you find it, send it to the Marquis Mansion as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir." The bookseller responded repeatedly, and then retreated when he saw Shen Zhi waving.
There were carriages and horses rushing past the gate of the Hou Mansion. The guards quickly stopped in front of the door and spread out on both sides to disperse the idle people. Only then did the Marquis of Jibei come down under the protection of the guards.
One person had just led the bookseller out. Hearing the noise outside, he knew that the Marquis was back and pulled the bookseller away. However, before he could avoid it, the palace guard came in and knelt down beside the bookseller.
The palace guards are guarding you, and the Marquis is coming over.
The bookseller raised his head and saw a middle-aged man wearing a python robe walking forward under the protection of the palace guards. As he passed by, a guard glanced over. The bookseller felt a chill in his body and lowered his head.
After a while, the palace guard left, and the servant stood up and fanned himself: "Get up, the Marquis has passed, I will take you out!"
The bookseller also wiped a cold sweat. Just as he was about to leave, he saw some generals and lieutenants coming. Their faces were serious and they kept shouting with solemnity. The bookseller looked at it, not daring to take a breath, and followed the servants. Go out.
As soon as the Marquis returned to the mansion, he ran directly to the meeting hall and entered the hall. The Marquis sat straight up and sat on the main seat. His face turned blue and he said to the palace guard: "Please invite Mr. Shen for me."
"Nuo" the palace guard saluted and went out.
In a moment, more than a dozen generals came in through the clouds. Seeing the Marquis, they knelt down on one knee and said, "Greetings, Commander-in-Chief!"
The armor made a clanging sound.
"Get up." The Marquis looked around with a hint of grimness. When he saw these generals lined up on the left and right, as respectful as before, his expression softened a little.
This is the Marquis's mansion, not a military camp. After a while, the maid came in with tea and served it to the Marquis and these generals.
There was silence in the venue, no one spoke. A maid raised her head slightly and saw that the Marquis's face was ashen. These generals also had murderous intent. The maid couldn't help but trembled and did not dare to look directly. She heard that the maids had served the Marquis in the past. Ye Shi broke the tea cup and dragged him out to beat him to death. Thinking of this, his body trembled.
The tea was placed on the table. The Marquis waved his hand, and all the maids withdrew. Except for the Marquis' personal guards, all the palace guards retreated to guard the surrounding area.
A bearded general took a step forward and said, "Master Marquis, what happened today is that the Governor's Office is clearly suppressing our group and beginning to deprive us of our military power. Since the imperial court sent governors, these people have forgotten the favor of the Marquis, and in turn, It’s really hard for the Sa family to deal with the Marquis!”
A deputy general also stepped forward and sneered: "Master Marquis, this matter must be intolerable. We must find a way to fight back, otherwise the Marquis' power will be taken away. Who knows what will happen then?"
These people spoke with murderous intent. The former Jibeihou was in charge of Anzhou, but now that he has handed over the power, the Jibeihou family has gradually become cold.
A counselor who was usually highly regarded by the Marquis took a step forward: "Master Marquis, the world is peaceful and the overall situation has been decided. Wu Jianwen, now not only us, but also other Marquises are handing over power. We can't compete." , follow the general trend and hand over power now, and you can keep your wealth in the future."
A general came out and yelled at the man: "Shuzi, where do you want to put the Marquis in this position?"
The court was divided into two factions. One faction could not bear it, and the other faction handed over power to ensure peace. The Marquis looked bad. Hearing that his subordinates were still arguing, he became angry and said in a rage: "Everyone, please step aside. Who can No quarreling either."
Everyone in the venue changed their expressions and did not dare to speak. They were quiet for a while. After a while, someone came forward and said, "Master Hou, Japanese pirates have been rampant recently, and the territory of the Hou Mansion has also been affected a lot."
There was a discussion in the court, and everyone frowned. It took half an hour for the discussion to pass, and the generals withdrew one by one.
One of the guards stepped forward to report, and the Marquis showed a smile: "Let Mr. Shen come over!"
The hall was empty, so the man went to the waiting room, where Mr. Shen drank tea and read a book. He went up and said, "Mr. Shen, the Marquis has finished the discussion. Please come over."
Shen Zhi put down the teacup: "I'm going now."
After speaking, he entered the meeting hall. When he saw Shen Zhi coming in, the Marquis said, "Shen Zhi, these things happened today."
Shen Zhi said in a low voice: "Why is the Marquis angry? The world has been settled. Although these people were promoted by the Marquis, they have their own thoughts, but it is normal."
The Marquis was silent for a moment, then asked: "How is the matter going?"
