The king of Huainan has Wenying Pavilion, while Suiyang has Liangyuan.
Liang Yuan values skills and treats those who are good at them with great courtesy.
The King of Huainan will tie up many of his loyal followers and make it difficult to escape, but Liang Yuan does not tie up his followers. They can come or leave as they please.
As long as you are qualified to enter Liang Garden, Liang Garden will not only provide free food and accommodation, but also give money and even certain natural materials, magic tools, etc. based on the guest's contribution.
Sima Xiangru ate free meals here.
If Zhang Xuezhou went to look for Sima Xiangru, he would not need to look here and there. He would definitely see Sima Xiangru if he went directly to Liangyuan.
Even if he can be favored by Liang Yuan, Zhang Xuezhou can eat, drink and stay in Liang Yuan for free.
He was happy in his heart and led his horse towards Suiyang City.
This city is indeed better than Shouchun City. The martial arts in Shouchun City is very strong, and there are crowds of men from rivers and lakes. However, in Suiyang City, there are many literati and elegant people. Even the local residents have many people wearing wide robes and long sleeves. Some people recited poems and composed poems, while others played the piano and played music.
Although the sound of silk and bamboo may disturb the ears, a city can allow people to start pursuing spiritual life, which can only prove the wealth of this city.
Only when people are well fed and clothed can they pursue things other than survival needs.
Obviously, Suiyang City has this level.
This is the only area where Zhang Xuezhou has seen such a scene among the many cities he has passed through. Even the people of Chang'an City who once took a quick look at things are still busy with making a living. Only officials, rich people and other classes can do these pursuits.
He led the horse and walked for nearly half an hour before Zhang Xuezhou saw the splendid palace complex.
A plaque for Prince Liang's Mansion hangs in one place, and a plaque for Liang Yuan hangs in another place.
At this time, people in Prince Liang's Mansion were coming in and out, and some people in Liang Garden kept looking at Prince Liang's Mansion.
Some people were playing musical instruments outside Liangyuan, and some were reading with bamboo slips.
Compared with the common people, many people in Liang Garden are obviously better informed.
Zhang Xuezhou looked at the guards guarding the door of Liang Yuan, and then at the heads poking out of Liang Yuan.
Having never seen Sima Xiangru in those heads, Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to step forward and ask the guards.
"There are not even a thousand but eight hundred people who use this excuse to come to see Mr. Xiangru." The guard laughed: "Everyone says they know Mr. Xiangru, but Mr. Xiangru also needs to know you!"
"We really know each other. Sima Xiangru and I are still good friends," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"Make up a fresher excuse." The guard shook his head and said, "This excuse of yours has been used by at least five hundred people."
"Can't you help call Sima Xiangru even to the door?"
"Hey, girls over there, do you also want to call Sima Xiangru to come here?"
The guard did not reply to Zhang Xuezhou's words, but waved towards the east side outside Liang Yuan, which caused the dozen or so girls gathered there to wave their hands in unison.
"Yes, yes!"
"Lai Xiaoerqi invited Mr. Xiangru out and let us take a look!"
"We still want to learn the piano!"
"I want to be Mr. Xiangru's concubine!"
The girls shouted, and guard Lai Xiaoer spread his hands towards Zhang Xuezhou.
Being a guard in Liangyuan was obviously a good job. Lai Xiaoer was extremely patient and signaled to Zhang Xuezhou that this was not working.
"If you really want to go in, then you can go to the palace to hand in a 'ceremony' and show off your talents. It will definitely be easier than convincing me." Lai Xiaoer said: "If you came here specifically to see Sima Xiangru, then Just wait a few days, and he will come out of Liangyuan when Yaxing comes."
"Why, does he usually stay in Liangyuan and never come out?"
"He is obsessed with studying piano skills and doesn't have much time for leisure and distraction." Lai Xiaoer waved his hand and said: "Don't mention it's you, I still want to listen to Mr. Sima Xiangru playing the piano!"
A great cultivator of the True Self Realm cannot resist the temptation given by Sima Xiangru. No matter how beautiful the sword dance is, it is limited. The rules of magic are forms that are difficult for ordinary people to see, but the piano skills are only what people use their ears to see. You can hear it.
If coupled with Sima Xiangru's handsome appearance, it is not surprising that Sima Xiangru was loved by the public.
Even though Zhang Xuezhou was very eloquent, he couldn't resist Lai Xiaoer and others who had seen too many people like Zhang Xuezhou who were looking for Sima Xiangru.
"I'll go to Prince Liang's Mansion to submit the festival!"
Zhang Xuezhou thought for a long time and finally decided to go for an interview.
As long as he can get into Liangyuan after passing the interview, it doesn't matter whether he can find Sima Xiangru or not.
With food, drink and housing in charge, and guards outside for safety, Zhang Xuezhou felt that this was his ideal home.
"Dongfang Shuo, the manager of the Shu County Ping'an Merchant Group, why, you no longer work in the business group?"
"Liang Yuan's treatment is good. As long as you can enter Liang Yuan, who will be in charge!"
"Then you have to give it a try!"
"I really have a few tricks up my sleeve!"
It is not difficult to vote for the festival. Zhang Xuezhou is not the only one who comes here every day to make a living, there are dozens of people lining up in front of Zhang Xuezhou.
Previously, he had seen people from Prince Liang's palace coming in and out, just like people doing interviews.
Regardless of whether their talent can catch the eyes of Prince Liang, everyone is still trying.
It's not a big deal if you fail the test. If you pass, you've found a long-term meal ticket in life. Anyone can do this kind of thing.
Zhang Xuezhou waited in line obediently and waited for nearly half an hour before he heard someone calling his name from Prince Liang's palace.
This made Zhang Xuezhou quickly run in.
"What will you order?"
Entering the palace, walking along the garden for tens of meters, passing through the passage under the eaves, you enter a gray and white marble open space, where several interviewers sit on mahogany chairs for testing.
Seeing the frustrated face coming towards me, this man obviously failed the interview.
When the interviewers spoke, Zhang Xuezhou responded quickly.
"Sir, I can hold my breath, at least for a quarter of an hour," Zhang Xuezhou said, patting his chest.
Having practiced the Water Avoidance Technique is so great, especially after passing the test when escaping yesterday, Zhang Xuezhou could easily hold his breath for a quarter of an hour.
"Are you holding your breath?" The interviewer thought for a few seconds before asking: "A quarter of an hour is pretty good, but some fishermen can do it. Do you have other abilities?"
"I can starve for three days without eating or drinking," Zhang Xuezhou said after thinking for a few seconds.
"Is there more?" the interviewer pursed his lips and asked.
"Does it count if I can make alchemy?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"Forget it." The interviewer became a little more interested, and then asked: "What kind of elixir can you make?"
"Three-day Bigu Powder, five-day Bigu Powder, if the materials are good enough, I can also refine the Seven-day Bigu Powder," Zhang Xuezhou said, "In addition, I can also refine the Yuan-Pui Yuan Dan!"
"Except for your low level, your abilities are very good," the interviewer said, "I hope your abilities will improve even more. The door of Prince Liang's Mansion will always be open for you!"
"Next..."
This interview was an obvious failure. When the other interviewer was about to call out the next person, Zhang Xuezhou quickly raised his hand.
"I still have one more skill," Zhang Xuezhou shouted.
"Oh? What ability?" the interviewer asked in surprise.
"Watch me perform a spell!"
His own abilities were despised, and Zhang Xuezhou had no choice. After all, his abilities were just like that, and there weren't many that he could use.
After thinking for a few seconds, Zhang Xuezhou murmured and stretched his hand towards the ground.
Vertical and horizontal ravines suddenly appeared on the marble surface. Zhang Xuezhou stretched out his hand and cast the spell for more than ten seconds. When the magic power was recovered, he blew towards the ground.
"I love Prince Liang?"
After blowing the lime away and looking at the four fist-sized words on the marble surface, the interviewer looked at Zhang Xuezhou again.
The opponent's strength may not be said to be strong, but it is said to be strong at the same time.
At least the interviewers have seen tens of thousands of people, and few people can master Zhang Xuezhou's skill in carving words on stone surfaces.
Zhang Xuezhou is the first person since the interview at Prince Liang's Mansion to flatter him so blatantly.
