Being "famous" did not bring much benefit to Xiang Zhong.
The peace in Xiangfu was broken by the special visits of too many "meddlers". So much so that Dr. Xiang had to set up a "waiting room" in the foyer for the enthusiastic visitors who came to observe how the Xiang family raised their children to use it while waiting in line to rest. Invisibly, a lot of entertainment expenses have been increased. What's more, there are many people who come from afar and have to stay overnight, which puts Xiang Mansion's reception capacity to a serious test.
"Sorry! Please come back another day. The number of visitors today is full."
The servant responsible for controlling the "visitor flow" stood at the door and repeated this sentence over and over again to the people who were not entering the house. His mouth was dry and he kept repeating it. Apologizing and giving salutes makes my waist bend.
"Husband, you are thinking: if things go on like this, how about changing the name of Xiang Mansion to a 'school' in the future? It has been like this all day long. If Master Hua Yuan knew, so many people come to Xiang Mansion every day. If it is passed to Ping Gongguodu again, it will not be for the purpose of "exchanging knowledge". You can be charged with "gathering a crowd to deliberately conspire" in a minute! I think, Xiang Zhong cannot be kept anymore. Since the six gentlemen have said For him, there is nothing to teach him about learning. How about we send him to other countries to find a better new teacher for him who can teach him more things and won’t mislead him. Is your future good?"
As the right master of the Song Dynasty, every word Hua Yuan said to Song Pinggong was extremely lethal. And his eyes and ears are spread all over the Song Dynasty. If there is any big or small movement below, someone will report to him.
Doctor Xiang knew the importance of this person, and when his wife mentioned it, he couldn't help but feel the back of his neck tightening, and had to be vigilant.
Mrs. Xiang saw that this star-like "grand occasion" was getting more and more exaggerated day by day, and she decided to find a way to drive this brat out of the Xiang Mansion again. So, she found an opportunity and suggested to Dr. Xiang that he should send the child " Studying abroad" also avoids the danger of being condemned by the monarch.
"What Madam said is absolutely true! However, she is too young and wanders in a foreign country at such a young age. If there is no one to take care of her, she will still be premature. If her body is not healthy, what is the use of more knowledge?" Xiang The doctor still felt sorry for the child's health. After all, he "study abroad" at such a young age. Looking at the entire Song Dynasty, there was no such precedent. "It's better to send him back to the countryside first, and let Mrs. Xiang continue to take care of him." First, then, I heard that there is a good young man named Boyang. What he has learned is not much different from Chong'er. Moreover, we have a chance to meet each other. In the near future, maybe the two of them can meet. On the one hand, it is unknown whether the teacher Madam taught may be from this lifetime."
Doctor Xiang remembered that Mrs. Xiang told him that after Xiang Zhong met the Shang brothers and sisters, they had an appointment. Doctor Shang Rong could introduce him so that these two talented young people could have a "peak forum" , Soul Collision"!
"For Chong'er, being able to meet Mr. Li and write a verse is probably the most anticipated and joyful thing for him. Don't forget it!"
Before letting Xiang Zhong come back to the Xiang Mansion, Mrs. Xiang once again emphasized the importance of this "Li Er's Promise" to Doctor Xiang.
Although the couple had made a decision in private about Xiang Zhong's future whereabouts, there were still three groups of people who were reluctant: brother Xiang Zheng, six gentlemen, and the live-in visitors who had already been scheduled.
"Keeping your word" has been the most important thing for the Xiang family since ancient times. Whatever has been promised, no matter how difficult it is, the Xiang family will complete it regardless of the cost.
Therefore, there was a gentleman from Lu who was scheduled to meet Xiang Zhong in the "waiting room" some time ago, and he was particularly difficult to deal with. This man's name was Yang Hu, who came from Kuangcheng. Hearing that Dr. Xiang of the Song Dynasty had a son in his family who was extremely intelligent, he came here specifically to see what the magic was.
This Yang Hu was different from other visitors. From the moment he came in, he was full of hostility and very domineering. Not only did he demand to see Xiang Zhong, but he also asked Xiang Jia to arrange the best room for him and serve him the best wine and meat. He also claimed that he He is a "talent created by heaven" and "unparalleled in the world", so he requires Xiangjia to give him the most generous treatment.
But from beginning to end, he didn't mention a word about what his "unparalleled genius" could give to the Xiang family.
This should be a "spoiler" who comes to "wreak havoc".
However, Xiangfu has always given priority to "respect" when dealing with the outside world. Those who come to the door are treated equally, regardless of their background or intention, and are treated with courtesy without any discrimination.
It is precisely because of this family motto that Dr. Xiang can maintain a humble, upright, upright, and peaceful attitude and respect everyone. This has earned him an excellent reputation and is the absolute "House of Perfection."
Although he has always been frugal with family expenses, he tried his best to satisfy Yang Hu's excessive demands one by one according to his expectations.
"Doctor Xiang! This Yang Hu has been staying for seven days. According to him, he came to the Song Dynasty to meet Mr. Xiang Zhong. However, Mr. Xiang has already scheduled a time to meet him, but he He told the young master Zhong that he would be a little boy. When he grows to the height of a wheel, he will be qualified to talk to him. Before that, he will live in the Xiang Mansion. His words were falsely passed down to the Xiang Mansion. The reason why he came from Lu was because Xiangfu was dishonest. So, who is to blame?"
The servant who had been bullied by Yang Hu was filled with resentment. After serving him wholeheartedly for seven days, he could no longer bear the anger and aggrievedness in his heart. He came all the way to report this "special guest" to Doctor Xiang, a man who was ready to serve him. He has been living happily, but he is too lazy to leave.
Really, I’ve seen scoundrels, but I’ve never seen such scoundrels; I’ve seen unreasonable people, but I’ve never seen anyone so unreasonable.
This guy named Yang Hu came with a set of evil words and delusions, and he even boasted loudly that he wanted to have a good time. He was nakedly and openly challenging the doctor's bottom line of tolerance.
"Do you have such a thing? I'll go to the ditch when I go."
Although Doctor Xiang has always been famous for being tolerant, courteous, hating conflicts, and advocating peace, when unreasonable villains come to his door, as the leader of the Xiang family, how is it possible to say that he has no blood and temper? However, after serving as an official for many years, I have seen many good people, evil people, and evil people, and I have long been able to treat and deal with all kinds of people rationally. I just heard the "shameless" attitude of the rogue Yang Hu. It was a bit too much, so I decided to go and see for myself who he was who dared to cause trouble to Xiang Mansion.
