After saying that, he looked at Xun Kuang and said, "It's not easy for you either. You don't look like a scholar. You must have spent money to use connections to get into the Imperial College. No wonder you are dressed like this. But you look like this. I guess I can't let you meet my third sister. But you are lucky to meet me. It happens that I wrote a poem recently. You can study it. You may learn the essence of it. I will test you then. If I am satisfied, it is not impossible for me to let you meet my third sister."
Xun Kuang was amused. He was not one to follow conventions, so he immediately bowed to Su Zhaoxin and said, "Please teach me, Master Su."
Seeing how well-behaved Xun Kuang was, Su Zhaoxin looked at Xun Kuang again and felt that there were more pleasing things about him.
Then he didn't waste any time and immediately recited his "Invincible Poem".
But this poem is on my lips.
Su Zhaoxin saw his third uncle Su Zifeng coming over.
"You little rascal! You felt that the beating your uncle gave you this morning was not enough, didn't you?" Su Zifeng saw Xun Kuang bowing to Su Zhaoxin from a distance.
He immediately quickened his pace and rushed over, but he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Xun Kuang turned around and saluted immediately when he saw Su Zifeng: "Master Su."
Although Su Zifeng did not enter the officialdom, he was in charge of the affairs of the Su family's Nuo family mansion, as well as some of the Su family's bookstores, farms, and other matters.
But in order to make things easier, he also had an idle job as an eighth-rank assistant lawyer, so he was worthy of the title of Lord Su.
Su Zifeng bowed to Xun Kuang and said, "Xun Siye, this child is ignorant and offended Siye. Please forgive me."
Xun Kuang glanced at Su Zhaoxin and said, "Mr. Su is not an ordinary person."
Su Zifeng smiled bitterly, glared at Su Zhaoxin who seemed a little proud when he heard Xun Kuang praising him, and immediately said, "Please."
Xun Kuang stopped being polite immediately.
Su Zhaoxin looked at Xun Kuang from behind. Why did he find this slovenly guy more and more pleasing to the eye? !
You can tell that I'm not an ordinary person!
But just when Su Zhaoxin was about to follow him and find an opportunity to give his poem to Xun Kuang, he saw his sister staring at him at the side of the door.
Su Zhaoxin came over immediately.
But this hasn't been spoken yet.
Snapped!
Su Wan'er raised her foot and kicked Su Zhaoxin directly: "You were beaten by your uncle this morning and ran all over the house. Do you want to be beaten again?"
Su Zhaoxin rubbed his buttocks, "We hit each other when we meet. If the master hits you, you can't take it out on me."
Su Wan'er rolled her eyes and said, "That's Master Xun Kuang. If your uncle finds out about your rudeness, he will definitely beat you up again!"
Su Zhaoxin said angrily, "Isn't he just someone who paid money to enter the Imperial College?"
Su Wan'er raised her hand to hit him, but Su Zhaoxin dodged it.
Then Su Zhaoxin said anxiously: "Su Wan'er! I am your brother! And your hands are like that. I don't feel any pain when you hit me, but you cry in pain. What should I do?!"
Su Wan'er rolled her eyes at Su Zhaoxin: "Come with me now, and apologize with me later. That Lord Xun is a great scholar that even grandpa says is as knowledgeable as the entire Imperial College. If you make him unhappy, not to mention that your uncle will come back to deal with you, grandpa might even beat you up!"
The knowledge is equivalent to that of the entire Imperial College? ?
Just him?
Can this be compared to the entire Imperial College?
The Imperial College was not a remarkable place.
Good guy!
Then I am even more knowledgeable! !
Su Zhaoxin blinked and looked at Xun Kuang's back which was getting farther and farther away.
Su Wan'er had no idea what was going on in her brother's innocent little head. She only felt that he was shocked by Xun Kuang's identity, so she didn't say anything more: "Hurry up!"
Su Zhaoxin swallowed and followed his sister.
Very good, I don’t need to study anymore in the future. What’s the point of studying even if I have the most knowledge!
……
Su Zifeng led Xun Kuang into the hall.
Just now, after learning from the servants who were watching from the door that Su Zhaoxin was fine, that Xun Kuang had arrived, they had already asked people to prepare for the reception.
So when we entered the hall, tea and snacks were already prepared on the table.
After the two of them sat down, Su Zifeng said, "My father and brother have both entered the palace, so I am the only one who can entertain Xun Siye. I hope Siye will forgive me."
Xun Kuang immediately said, "Master Su, you are too polite. If those two come out, I will be uncomfortable."
One is the current Grand Tutor, and the other is the Minister of the Central Secretariat.
They are all high-ranking officials.
As a dean, he felt very uncomfortable in the presence of these two people.
Su Zifeng knew the reason and asked Xun Kuang not to be polite.
Xun Kuang was not a person who would waste time, so he immediately said, "I came here today to meet Miss Chang'an and Miss Linhan, and to present you with an invitation to the Early Winter Poetry Festival."
As he spoke, Xun Kuang took out two elegant green scrolls from his arms.
Su Zifeng knew that Su Changan and Su Linhan would be invited, but he didn't expect that Xun Kuang would come in person. He immediately said, "How could the two nieces deserve Si Ye to come in person?"
Xun Kuang glanced at the servant who was leaving, then smiled helplessly: "There are no servants here. If you continue to speak to me so politely, Su Zifeng, I will just take it away."
Su Zifeng immediately smiled and said, "There is a huge difference in status. You are now the Si Ye Lord. I am only an eighth-rank Xie Lu Lang."
Xun Kuang looked at Su Zifeng with disdain: "Master Su is now extremely wealthy, and all my classmates are envious of him. Whenever we have dinner together and talk about him, we all feel that it is very difficult to invite Master Su now."
Su Zifeng smiled and shook his head. When it comes to talking, Xun Kuang is still the best!
The two studied together for three years, but Su Zifeng's academic performance was average, so he returned home halfway through.
Now that Xun Kuang has firmly established himself as the Dean of the Imperial College, everyone in the capital knows that the next Chief Academician of the Imperial College will definitely be Xun Kuang. By then, he will be promoted to a high position and will be granted the title of nobility and appointed as prime minister in the near future.
But Su Zifeng didn't envy Xun Kuang, after all.
When we were classmates, I was often overwhelmed by his knowledge. I was convinced by him at that time! How could I be envious?
"Wait a moment, I'll go find someone to ask." Su Zifeng looked at Xun Kuang and was no longer polite.
Xun Kuang nodded.
But I haven't spoken yet.
Su Zhaoxin jumped out and said, "My eldest sister is still sleeping. My second sister said she was not feeling well and would not see any guests today. I went there but didn't see her."
Snapped!
This little thing suddenly jumped out.
He was kicked directly by Su Wan'er!
Su Zhaoxin rubbed his butt in grievance: "What's wrong with me?"
Su Wan'er glared at Su Zhaoxin, then bowed to Su Zifeng and Xun Kuang and said, "Mr. Xun, Third Uncle, my brother was wrong, I apologize on his behalf."
Su Zifeng looked at Su Wan'er curiously. When he noticed Su Wan'er's red and slightly swollen hands, he thought that the old man didn't even look at who he was beating.
If the old man saw this, he would be heartbroken!
If you want to beat someone to death, then beat Su Zhaoxin who lives next door!
Su Wan'er saw Su Zhaoxin just standing there without moving and glared at him fiercely.
Su Zhaoxin immediately bowed to Xun Kuang and Su Zifeng and said, "I was rude just now. Please forgive me, Mr. Xun and Third Uncle."
After that, Su Zhaoxin added: "But my eldest sister is really sleeping. She is so lazy. My second sister is not feeling well either. She didn't even see me when I went there."
Su Wan'er glared at Su Zhaoxin angrily again.
Su Zhaoxin curled his lips and said, "It's true, why are you glaring at me again?"
"In this case, it seems that we won't be able to meet again." Xun Kuang shook his head with some regret, but looking at Su Wan'er, Xun Kuang turned back to look at Su Zifeng and said, "The Su family is going to have another talented woman."
Su Zifeng waved his hand immediately: "Didn't you see the red hand? The teacher beat her this morning. She couldn't even write a poem. What kind of girl is that? She's just a child after all."
As he spoke, Su Zifeng motioned Su Wan'er to get up and come to him.
Xun Kuang smiled awkwardly, "Look at the way you, Su Lao San, are smiling so proudly!"
But when he looked back at Su Zhaoxin, he found that the young master Su was looking at him eagerly, so Xun Kuang immediately said, "Young Master Su just wanted to recite some poems to me. Now that I have no chance to meet the two young ladies and I have nothing to do, I wonder if I can do it now?"
Su Zifeng originally looked at Su Wan'er's red palm with heartache.
Hearing what Xun Kuang said, he had no idea what the old guy was up to, and he immediately planned to get Su Zhaoxin out of here and stop him from embarrassing himself.
And as for that invincible poem, when he heard about it before, he just felt that this brat deserved to be punished!
But before Su Zifeng could say anything
Su Zhaoxin's eyes lit up: "Oh, you still remember it! Good, you are worthy of being someone I like."
As he was speaking, he gave Xun Kuang a thumbs up, and then moved to Xun Kuang's side, with his hands on his hips: "Since you have begged me so sincerely over and over again, then I will recite it and listen to it." Alright! Hit the water tank with one punch, and kick the potted plants with one kick. If there is something unpleasant in front of you, punch and kick it directly!"
After reciting, Su Zhaoxin took the lead and said, "Isn't it amazing? Learn a little. When you have mastered the essence, I will let you meet my third sister."
Su Zifeng rolled his eyes, looked around and saw that there was nothing he could do, so he decided to take action.
At the same time, Su Wan'er pulled Su Zifeng and pointed at the tea bowl on the table, indicating that he should use that to hit it.
Su Zifeng laughed out of anger.
Xun Kuang tried not to laugh out loud, and gave Su Zhaoxin a thumbs up: "This poem, sir, is much better than the poems written by those bookworms in the Imperial College!!"
Su Zhaoxin heard the news and asked subconsciously, "Really?"
Xun Kuang nodded seriously: "It's right to trust me."
Su Zhaoxin pursed his lips: "The one who lied to me is a pig."
Xun Kuang said immediately: "It's more real than the real thing."
Su Zhaoxin was overjoyed: "Okay! Just for this, my third sister will come back and introduce you to her. She's not bad except for her bad temper and ugly looks, but everything else is good! Forget about my second sister, and don't even dream about my eldest sister!"
Su Zifeng got angry again when he heard this. If my second brother, who has a very good temper, heard that his daughter was sold, he would definitely teach this guy a lesson!
Xun Kuang smiled and said immediately: "It seems that I still need to work hard to get the young master to let me meet the eldest and second young ladies."
Su Zhaoxin was so flattered that he said, "That's right!"
