Chapter 124 Looking for Opportunities
Gong Changan went to school. Before leaving, Gong Xu specially called him over and handed him the article he had corrected.
"I have read it from the beginning. The writing is naturally immature, but the conception is not bad." Gong Xu was recovering from his injuries at home and had plenty of free time.
"Thank you very much, father," Gong Changan took it and said, "Big brother and second brother are already waiting for me."
"Have a good time, and listen to Master when you go to school." Gong Xu said with a smile. This kid from Chang'an is really very talented, which can be seen from the articles he wrote.
But he deliberately didn't praise him too much, so as not to make him feel proud.
"When will Baoan go to school?" Gong Changan asked.
"I haven't told the Wang family yet. I've been studying there for a lot of time, and suddenly I have to make it clear before I leave." Gong Xu said, "Besides, I haven't gone to see the master at your school yet, so I have to tell him first. That’s it. Go ahead and don’t worry about it. Baoan is still young and not very smart, so wait a minute.”
When Mrs. Song was still alive, she was determined to train her son to become a talented person, so he was enlightened early and sent out to study. At that time, Song Xiulian was the only one in Gong Xu's eyes, so her son naturally attracted much attention.
But at this moment, the original intimate turned into a viper and a poisonous woman, making him not even want to mention it.
On the contrary, Wen Mingqian and his son were at the forefront of his mind, not to mention Gong Changan, who was very smart and talented, and everyone who met him praised him.
What's more, he is the legitimate son. Needless to say, he will definitely have a better future than Gong Baoan.
In the past, Gong Xu looked down on the so-called distinction between direct concubines and concubines, but now he feels that the elders' words are quite reasonable.
Since Gong Baoan was a concubine, he should be distinguished from Gong Changan, so as not to be accused of violating the rules of his family.
When Gong Changan arrived at the school, Feng Tianzhu had also arrived early. When he saw him, he came up to hug him and said, "I haven't seen him for a long time, but I miss him so much."
"We haven't seen each other for only six or seven days," Palace Chief An smiled, "Is it possible that we still need to be together in the twenties?"
"What are you two talking about? Let's do Ju together!" At this time, two more children came over.
One of them is Qiao Ziyu, the eldest son of Duke Qiao's family, and the other is Xu Mang, the young master of Uncle Linchuan's family. The four of them usually play together, but now that they haven't seen each other for a long time, they naturally look particularly affectionate.
"Let me tell you, I have been practicing hard at home for a long time these days, and I have definitely made progress." Feng Tianzhu said while rolling up his sleeves, "But I agreed that I must be on the same team as Chang'an."
"Why do you have the nerve to always join the Chang'an team? We agreed to draw lots." Xu Mang's temper was very angry, and he didn't care whether Feng Tianzhu was sick or not.
In fact, it's okay for him to be like this. If he doesn't treat Feng Tianzhu as a patient, he really doesn't get sick very much.
Feng Tianzhu stretched out his hand to pull him away and said: "We are brothers, what can we do if we are not in the same team?"
After hearing this, Xu Mang immediately pulled Gong Changan and said, "What's the point? Let's sworn sworn brothers now! Pinch the soil into incense and ask Prince Qiao to be a witness!"
"There's no point in sworn sworn vows, there has to be a first-come, first-served basis." Feng Tianzhu straightened his back, "It's up to you to tell the world."
Seeing that the two people were arguing more and more, Qiao Ziyu said quickly: "Stop arguing now. Have you ever heard of the Cuju competition held on King Zhao's birthday?" "Have you seen it?" Feng Tianzhu stopped arguing as expected, "I heard that Yes, but my father never took me to see it.”
"I saw it last year. It was really exciting." Qiao Ziyu said, "They are all top players in Beijing. Those who win will get a lot of gifts!"
Everyone knows that King Zhao likes Cuju. Therefore, there is a Cuju competition every year on his birthday, and Song Xiang became famous because of this.
"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden? Could it be that King Zhao's birthday is coming soon?" Gong Changan asked.
"It's next month." Qiao Ziyu said, "I heard from my father that this year our family will also have a team to join in the fun."
Almost all the dignitaries in the capital wanted to get close to King Zhao, so it was essential to go along with him.
The Qiao family is naturally no exception.
"Don't tell me, this is a Qiao Zong'er. If you give me some ordinary birthday gifts, I'm afraid King Zhao won't even look at it." Xu Mang said, "But I didn't know that there are many people in your house who can play Cuju."
"Don't tell anyone," Qiao Ziyu lowered her voice. "It was my uncle who brought back seven or eight Kunlun slaves. They are like black iron towers, and they are scary to look at. Although they don't speak very well, But they all know how to play Cuju. They have been practicing with the master for half a year, and if they come on stage, they will be able to show off, and it will not be in vain.”
"Although the masters in Prince Zhao's Mansion are not as tall as Kunlun Slave, they all have hard skills. I wonder who will win?" At this time, Gong Changan started to talk.
"Of course, the people selected in Prince Zhao's Mansion are all top-notch people. My father said that if these Kunlun slaves can be in the top three, they will be fighting for face." play.
"Are you going to go on the birthday of King Zhao?" Gong Changan asked Qiao Ziyu.
"Go, my father said that I am growing up and it's time to go out and see the world and meet people." Qiao Ziyu said, "I really want to go myself."
Gong Changan then secretly poked Feng Tianzhu: "Brother, why don't we go to Brother Qiao's house one day to see those Kunlun slaves?"
"Okay, okay! Why don't we go tomorrow." Qiao Ziyu was very happy, "To be honest, Gong Xiandi is just younger, but his Taju skills are actually no worse than theirs."
"Actually, I think we are just younger, but in fact our skills are not bad." Gong Changan encouraged, "If we can also show off our skills at King Zhao's birthday banquet, wouldn't it be regarded as gaining face in public?"
"That's what you say, but we are too young and can't compare with them." Qiao Ziyu shook her head after hearing this.
"Yes, one step is enough for us to run three steps." Xu Meng was also very annoyed. In fact, he was not convinced, but the difference was too big. "The adults will definitely say that we are fooling around."
< br>
"If we compete, we have no chance of winning, but if we play tricks, we won't be able to talk about it." Gong Changan said with a smile, "Being able to show such skill at the birthday banquet of King Zhao, our brothers have also earned fame. Head? ”
The most important thing for children like them is to be famous. In fact, they don't care whether they suffer a disadvantage or take advantage.
"Hey! But the adults won't agree. They will definitely say that we are fooling around." Xu Mang pouted and said in frustration.
"I have an idea. We might as well rehearse it in advance. Then let the adults take a look. If it's passable, why shouldn't we be allowed to play? Anyway, it's just for fun, as long as we can make King Zhao happy. Is it done?" Gong Changan tried his best to facilitate this matter.
