Chapter 120 Three Paths Palace
This is Wen Mingqian’s second banquet since returning to Beijing.
It happened to rain the day before. On this day, the scenery was clear and the breeze was blowing. It was really a pleasant weather.
Guests arrived one after another. They all knew that Gong Changan was kidnapped and that Wen Mingqian was sick from fear, so everyone came here with the intention of visiting.
"Sister, you look much better today than when I came here a few days ago." Liu Cuiyi happily held Wen Mingqian's hand.
"The clothes you wear today look particularly flattering on you," Wen Mingqian noticed that Liu Cuiyi's clothes were new, "the material is also very special."
"I bought it at Sangji Silk and Satin Store. Since my sister After taking me there, I often go there to choose ingredients," Liu Cuiyi said, "They always have ingredients that can't be bought elsewhere, and they suit my taste."
"Shu. "Er and Yan'er are getting better and better." Liu Cuiyi came with her two daughters today. "When I think about you having two slim daughters standing next to you in a few years, I really envy you."
"You are young. If you want to have a daughter by yourself, just give birth to a daughter yourself." Mrs. Qian, the Marquis of Jiangxia, walked in with a smile, "It would be lonely to have only one child in Chang'an."
She doesn’t know that Wen Mingqian and Gong Xu are husband and wife on the surface, but in fact they have been separated for a long time, and they just think that they have reconciled now.
After all, the most annoying Song family is dead, and Wen Mingqian is so young and beautiful, how could Gong Xu not be tempted?
"Madam, long time no see, please come in." Wen Mingqian hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
"That's right! I went to Xijing to escape the summer heat a few days ago. I only heard about what happened in your house when I came back the day before yesterday. It also shocked me. Fortunately, there was no danger." Qian covered her chest and said, "This gangster is really brave!"
"My wife is worried," Wen Mingqian said, "I'm still scared when I think about it now. I don't know when I can get over this. "
Several more guests came while he was talking, and Wen Mingqian naturally wanted to greet them one by one.
Cui Baozhu and her stepmother and sisters came, and Mrs. Leng said hello with a smile as soon as she saw the many ladies present.
"Old lady, maybe I haven't joined in the fun for a long time. Today I'm here to get close to you all and to cheer up my little daughter-in-law." Mrs. Gong walked in with a smile on her face with the support of Wei Shi. She was the youngest. Sir, everyone stood up and said hello.
Mrs. Gong said hurriedly: "Please sit down quickly. I, the master, am late, so I should apologize to you all. I just know that you all will not pick on my old lady's gifts." ”
At this time, Wen Mingqian had already stepped forward and helped her to the seat.
Mrs. Gong already knew about Gong Changan’s kidnapping before this.
Webster and Wen Mingqian discussed that this matter would reach the old lady's ears sooner or later. Anyway, Gong Changan is now safe, so it doesn't matter if he tells her slowly.
Mrs. Gong didn’t speak for a long time after hearing this. After a long time, she finally spoke: "That Ma Daguang often hangs out in Prince Zhao's Mansion, so he must know Song Xiang. I guess Song Xiang may have caused trouble in this matter. He is He felt that his sister's death was not clear, so he had bad intentions to harm Chang'an."
"We all speculated the same, but there was no evidence," Wen Mingqian said, "It's not easy for the government to find him. After all, the face of King Zhao is here."
Mrs. Gong hugged Gong Changan to her side: "You said you didn't eat enough jade dew dumplings in the morning, so I asked them to make them for you in the evening. It tastes like osmanthus, so I told them not to use osmanthus in their future snacks. "The old lady really loves her grandson!" Everyone laughed, "I didn't think the two masters were so doting when they were young."
"This is the truth," Mrs. Gong said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, when my two children were young, because they had father-in-law, mother-in-law, and grandmother-in-law, as a grandson's wife, I naturally had to show filial piety first. When I think about it, my children are already in their teens.
But my grandson is indeed a pain in the ass. Both mother and son were in our hometown a few years ago, and we really owed them a debt."
"The old lady is here to support her daughter-in-law today," Mrs. Changronghou said with a smile. It doesn’t matter if we are away from each other for years, the pain will be doubled in the past few years.”
Mrs. Changronghou is the best at talking, and Mrs. Gong was convinced after hearing this.
"This child is smart at first glance. The younger generation in your house will definitely be famous in the future." Mrs. Linchuan Bo said, "Your eldest and second young masters are famous for their good study. The remaining two are definitely not bad either.”
"Speaking of studying, have you heard about it?" Mrs. Jiang Xiahou put down the tea cup and said, "Sanjing Academy is recruiting disciples again."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was attracted, Don't care about anything else.
"Really or not? How many years has it been since Sanjing Academy went down to recruit disciples?" Cui Baozhu's stepmother Leng asked.
"It must have been seven or eight years! It's not that difficult for them to recruit disciples. Sometimes they recruit them once every three or two years, and sometimes they recruit them once every five or six years. Sometimes they are just too many. Accept five or six, and sometimes only one or two.
I heard that every time I go down the mountain to accept a disciple, I have to observe the sky, so the time is not fixed. ”
"If anyone can be selected, it will be due to the merits of the ancestors." Everyone's tone was full of envy. "These masters in Sanjing Academy did not even accept the emperor's letter of appointment. As long as they can be taught there, they are not Scientific research can also lead to success. "
"Especially for Master Zhuge, if he can get his personal inheritance, he will be like entering his own home. But I don't know if Master Zhuge will accept any disciples. , he is now in his eighties, right?”
“It was said before that Master Zhuge wanted to accept someone as a closed disciple, but this news has been circulating for nearly ten years, and he has not been seen accepting him again. Disciple. You must have a chance to meet someone when you come down the mountain, right? I don’t know whose child is so lucky.”
Three Paths Academy has been famous for hundreds of years. , and will not be moved or destroyed due to the change of dynasties.
Just because it is located in the mountains far away from the secular world, not to mention that there are many scholars in the world, especially these great scholars, who are of nobler blood than the royal family.
Sanjing Academy has always valued quality over number when recruiting apprentices, but every apprentice will be a famous figure when he enters the world, and he will be an expert outside the world when he is born.
For many years, there is no exception.
No matter in court or in the opposition, from the emperor to the foot soldiers, everyone is proud to be friends with the masters and apprentices of Sanjing Academy.
Some people often say that if any of the children in the family can enter the Three Paths Academy, they will be willing to spend all their wealth.
But people only look at talent and character when recruiting disciples, which cannot be obtained with money, power and power.
But it is precisely because of this that Sanjing Academy has maintained its reputation for hundreds of years and has been valued by the world.
