Turbulent Times Chapter 714: Taiyuan Wang Xue

Shan Xiongxin said very bluntly, although the six of them seemed not to be trifled with, but these four Wang family guards have been working in the Wang family for many years. You have to hand in the greeting card first, not to mention that the majestic Wang family's suzerain is not accessible to everyone.

Shandong gentry attaches great importance to reputation, especially the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Pei family of Hedong. Therefore, the guards at the gate are by no means the kind of people who are arrogant. Shan Xiongxin handed over the greeting card, glanced at the carriage more than ten steps away, and said, "Who is your young master? I will report to the courtyard."

Shan Xiongxin obviously received Wang Junlin's instructions a long time ago, and immediately said: "You just say that you are a distinguished guest from the capital, and then submit the greeting card. After reading the greeting card, your master will naturally invite my young master into the mansion. .”

The guard hesitated for a moment, presumably knowing something about the current situation in Bingzhou, and finally said: "You wait here, whether you can visit my master depends on the decision of the inner court."

After finishing speaking, the guard hurried into the mansion with a greeting card personally written by Wang Junlin.

…

Not long after, there was only a sound of chaotic running in the courtyard, and then the main door was opened by servants, and eight neatly dressed male servants held long brooms, symbolically "sweeping" a road in front of the door , Wang Zhi, the eldest son of the Wang family, whose face was slightly pale and tired, came out, walked up to Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu who had already got off the carriage, and stood still in front of Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu, who looked at them curiously.

Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu, who were still disguised, looked calm. Wang Zhi finally put his hands on his heart, embraced his chest, and bowed to salute.

Wang Junlin leaned over and smiled and said, "It's the younger brother, Brother Wang doesn't invite the younger brother in."

Wang Zhi felt a little uneasy. He glanced left and right, and found someone on the street looking at him, and said in a low voice, "My father is waiting for the Imperial Envoy in the inner courtyard, please."

Wang Junlin asked Wang Zhi to arrange six sword servants to rest in the living room of the outer courtyard, while he took Nie Xiaoyu to visit Wang Long in the inner courtyard of the Wang family, as if he was not worried about his safety at all.

As soon as he entered the door, Wang Junlin faintly heard the sound of Lang Lang reading, and said, "I heard that the Wang family has a strong style of study. Even servants and guards have to study for several years to be able to read."

Last night, Mrs. Seven disappeared, Wang Zhi was worried and a little absent-minded, but he knew the identity of the person in front of him was very important, so he didn't dare to neglect, forced a smile, pointed to the outermost tower on the east side of Wang's ancestral house and said with a smile: " Has the Imperial Envoy seen that pagoda? That is the Wang’s Book Pavilion, which is also where our Wang Clan School is located. At its peak, there were 3,000 students, and now there are hundreds of people studying. The sound of reading that the Imperial Envoy heard is from It came from there."

Wang Junlin stared at Wang's Book Pavilion. He knew that one of the main reasons why Wang, Pei, Cui, and Li have been famous for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, is that they attach great importance to education. The children of the clan have also cultivated a large number of outstanding talents. These outstanding talents hold high positions, or are the children of the local rich clan, and they become a kind of influence of the famous and rich clan.

For example, at least 20% of the officials in the counties and counties of Bingzhou are related to the Wang family of Taiyuan. The descendants of this family also include a large number of their outstanding disciples, so Wang School in Taiyuan, Pei School in Wenxi in Hedong, Cui School in Qinghe and Boling, Lu School in Fanyang, these are all famous schools in the Sui Dynasty, you can go to study Almost all of the students are famous children of various counties.

Here is not far from the inner courtyard, Wang Zhi recalled his father's explanation, and seeing no one around, he whispered to Wang Junlin, "I don't know what is the important thing for the emperor to come to my Wang's house?"

Wang Junlin seemed to know that he had asked this question a long time ago, smiled slightly, and said, "What are you doing in the Wang family, don't brother Wang and the suzerain of the Wang family know?"

Wang Zhi's face changed slightly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

The ancestral residence of the Wang family is a mansion in Taiyuan City second only to the Palace of the King of Han. Students, after Wang Tong went to the court to become an official, Wang Tong's younger brother Wang Zhong presided over it. His popularity was not as good as Wang Tong's, but the number of students was never less than five hundred.

Amidst Wang Zhi's embarrassed and anxious expression, Wang Junlin finally came to the inner courtyard of the Wang family's ancestral house. He also saw Wang Long. , worthy of being the suzerain of the Wang family.

Wang Junlin and Wang Long's eyes met in mid-air. The former was deep and the latter was deep. They both wanted to see through each other at once, at least to see some information, but they didn't see anything, but because Wang Junlin himself was here. He was not kind, so he knew that no matter how calm Wang Long looked on the surface, he would feel very heavy because of the disappearance of Mrs. Seven.

If Wang Junlin was not an imperial envoy appointed by Yang Guang, no matter his status, title or seniority, he would have saluted Wang Long first. Will not show weakness.

Finally, when Wang Long's deep eyes became a little gloomy, Wang Long suddenly laughed and said: "The imperial envoy is here, but the Wang family failed to meet him from afar. Please forgive me, the imperial envoy."

While speaking, Wang Long bowed to Wang Junlin, but he did not kneel down before the imperial envoy.

What Wang Junlin wants is to overwhelm the other party in terms of momentum, and he doesn't care about more vain courtesy. Naturally, he accepts it as soon as he sees it. I just came to see the old Duke according to His Majesty's secret decree, and I didn't inform you in advance, so I won't blame the Wang family for not being able to welcome him from afar."

When Wang Long heard this, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Mr. Qin An, please!" He deliberately avoided Wang Junlin's status as an imperial envoy, and referred to Wang Junlin with his title.

"Old Duke, please." Wang Junlin said politely.

Wang Long led Wang Junlin into the inner courtyard. In the inner hall used to entertain the most important guests, Wang Junlin and Wang Long were seated opposite each other.

Wang Junlin waited for the maid who brought tea and fruit to the Wang family to go down, and before Wang Long took the initiative to ask questions, he said: "The rebel Gao Ying is about to perish. I wonder what the old man's plan is?"

Wang Long's eyes flashed, and he said slightly displeased: "Regardless of whether the rebels fall or not, my Wang family will always be loyal to the court and His Majesty."

Wang Long is the suzerain of the Wang family and an important minister in the court. He was once the Minister of Rites of the court, because Wang Tong, the most famous member of the Wang family, entered the court as an official. Manage family affairs.
