As the old man spoke, he stood up excitedly, straightened his clothes, and bowed to Prince An in an upright manner.
"May I ask what your name is? I, Kong Yingda, would like to thank you on behalf of all the people in the world!"
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but be stunned!
This old man is Kong Yingda!
Kong Yingda is the 31st grandson of Confucius, a master of Confucian classics since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and a well-deserved academic leader in the early Tang Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, he was a highly respected national treasure.
"The old gentleman is serious -"
Wang Zi'an quickly avoided this salute, stepped forward, and helped the old gentleman up with both hands.
"Junior Wang Zi'an, I don't dare to give such a gift to my senior..."
"Wang Zi'an? The Taiyuan Wang family is really full of talents! I wonder which young talent of the Taiyuan Wang family is Brother Wang?"
Kong Yingda looked at Wang Zi'an with interest.
This young man has a handsome appearance and a good figure. His clothes are simple, his manners are calm, and he exudes an indescribable aura of worldliness.
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but frowned, why do I have to belong to the Wang family in Taiyuan!
When I was studying in the county school, people always talked about this.
Deliberately squeeze yourself.
It's as if I don't deserve the surname Wang because I'm not from Taiyuan Wang!
"I don't dare to climb high. I am from Wangwa Village in Chang'an and have nothing to do with the Wang family in Taiyuan."
"Oh - so, it's me Meng Lang..."
Kong Yingda couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after hearing this, and quickly handed over his hands to apologize. Wang Zi'an didn't feel comfortable saying anything else, so he waved his hand helplessly.
"Forget it, you're not the first to say that anyway. I'm used to it."
"Brother Wang, do you know the value of the four words you just said? If this practice can be popularized, all people in the world will benefit from it for generations. With this suggestion alone, you will be able to go down in history!"
Kong Yingda held Wang Zi'an's hand excitedly.
"Little brother, let's go - I will take you to see His Majesty right now - His Majesty has always loved talents and will certainly not be stingy with rewards for you!"
"Don't—Old sir, please don't harm me—"
Prince An was like avoiding the god of plague, and hurriedly escaped from Kong Yingda's hands, as if he would run away if he disagreed with her.
The three people couldn't help but be stunned.
There are still people in this world who are as afraid of officials!
"Brother, why did you say this?"
Kong Yingda raised her eyebrows lightly and looked at Wang Zi'an with puzzled eyes.
"Xianyun Yehe, I'm used to being lazy, I can't bear the pain——"
Prince An shook his head like a rattle and refused without even thinking.
Are you kidding me, Prince An, came here to be an official?
That’s right, I’m here to hang out!
"Suffering? Brother, do you know how many people in this world are eager to become officials?"
Kong Yingda was dumbfounded by this weird reason, and advised him sincerely.
"They are them, and I am me. As the saying goes, they are honey to me, and I am arsenic. This person has different pursuits from others, and everyone has his own way of living. I have nothing else in this life, I just want to be free and happy. The rich and idle people——"
Wang Zi'an was also a little bit dumbfounded. In his previous life, he wanted to be an official but couldn't get it. He finally traveled through time and wanted to live a happy life for a few days, but one after another he wanted to become an official.
"With your talent, if you don't become an official and do something in your career, wouldn't you be living up to what you have learned -"
"You don't have to be an official to have a career. There is also a lot to be done in the countryside -"
After Wang Zi'an finished speaking, he waved his hand, stood up and left.
See you again!
Although I am a little sad to see your two beautiful nieces.
Kong Yingda was immediately dumbfounded, there are still such people in this world.
He had met countless people, and he could see that the young man in front of him was really not just showing off, but he was really too lazy to be an official.
The two girls next to him were also a little stunned. They were used to seeing young talents desperately trying to enter the officialdom, but this was the first time they saw such a young man who was so dismissive of being an official.
"You said you don't want to be an official. I think you know that you can only talk on paper and you don't dare to do real things as an official, right?"
The girl who was called Ying'er by the old man looked at Wang Zi'an who was about to leave and said lightly.
The voice is soft and pleasant, cold and indifferent, but like a little hook, it keeps scratching in your heart.
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but turn around and look at this young woman who was inexplicably hostile to him.
Tsk tsk, her temperament is cool and soft, like an orchid in an empty valley, her figure is graceful and graceful, and she is dignified with a hint of femininity. Her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are like autumn water, her skin is better than snow, her jade neck is long, and her two jade hands have slender fingers.
More importantly, this sound fascinates me.
It's a pity that my attitude towards myself has always been unfriendly, so I guess there is no future for me to develop. Thinking of this, Wang Zi'an raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at her teasingly.
"How to provoke generals? Childish——"
"What's the point of getting excited about someone like you who can only talk nonsense..."
After the girl named Ying'er finished speaking, she snorted softly and turned away.
When viewed from the side, it looks like a ridge or a vertical peak!
Do all pretty girls feel so good about themselves?
Wang Zi'an shook his head, didn't bother to pay attention, and walked away directly.
When Wang Zi'an didn't even glance at him, the girl named Ying Er couldn't help but startled slightly, and a hint of grievance suddenly flashed in her eyes.
This stinky man is still so dismissive of me.
He just snatched my hydrangea and ran away, making me the laughing stock on the streets of Chang'an. He actually deliberately pretended not to recognize me and didn't even apologize.
You are a swindler and a heartless man!
Kong Yingda didn't notice the fleeting grievance in her niece's eyes. When she saw the conversation, the conversation broke down. She quickly stood up and chased after her.
"Little brother Wang, wait a minute—wait a minute—"
Look at this old man, so old, running out of breath. Wang Zi'an shook his head speechlessly and stopped.
"Little brother, let's talk a little more. There's nothing wrong with not becoming an official if you don't want to be an official. Can you elaborate more on this work-for-relief thing?"
After Kong Yingda finished speaking, he looked at Wang Zi'an eagerly, fearing that the young man would turn around and leave.
Wang Zi'an nodded slightly when he heard this, turned around and walked back, put the chimney aside, and sat down again.
When the girl whom Kong Yingda called Ying'er saw him returning, she snorted and turned her head away, her eyes drooping, without even looking at him.
"Then let me, this junior, just say a few more words of praise..."
"My little friend, you are humble, you are humble——"
Knowing that Wang Zi'an was angry, Kong Yingda changed the topic with a smile.
"Although what Ying'er said just now is a bit rude, it does make some sense. It's freezing cold today. I wonder how we can provide relief through work? What other projects can we do?"
As the old man spoke, he personally picked up the teapot and gave Prince An a cup of hot tea.
Looking at the greasy tea soup in the tea cup, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his eye, but this was omitted.
However, he is a person who really wants to do something!
Looking at Kong Yingda, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.
"The juniors have a suitable project here that can solve their urgent needs, but it requires the help of the old gentleman..."
"speak!"
When Kong Yingda heard this, he immediately became energetic. The two beauties next to them unconsciously leaned forward slightly.
"I need the old gentleman to help me get these two pieces of land——"
As Wang Zi'an spoke, he dipped his fingers in tea and wrote two place names on the table.
Kong Yingda couldn't help but look at the two beauties beside him, showing a hint of confusion.
"If you want this land, of course it's no problem. With my humble face, it's no problem even if you want to carve out a piece of land in the royal estate. I'll go back and ask the emperor for it now. But these two pieces of land are remote. It’s desolate, except for charcoal, not even a single crop has been grown, what are you doing here..."
Kong Yingda asked confusedly.
