Yu Yang and Murong Zhen quickly picked it up and started reading. At first, they could recognize a few words, but when the numbers and symbols appeared, they were immediately dumbfounded...
"Brother Xu, what are these characters and talismans of yours?" Murong Zhen asked.
"This is called numbers and symbols, what kind of character seal... you think this is the Taoist Heavenly Book!" Xu Que explained helplessly.
"This thing is indeed very similar to the Taoist Heavenly Book. In fact, I also had this idea. I didn't expect that Brother Xu could really do this!" Murong Zhen said with a smile.
Xu Que was stunned and looked at Murong Zhen with an incredulous look.
Seeing Xu Que's gaze, Murong Zhen was a little puzzled, but Yu Yang said with a smile: "Brother Xu, you don't know something. Brother Murong is a master of both literature and Taoism!"
Xu Que felt this damn thing...
What he envied the most was people like Murong Zhen, who was nothing like him... he could only stick to the arts.
"Brother Xu, can you explain these symbols and numbers?" Murong Zhen asked holding the stack of rice paper.
Xu Que didn't want to talk about it because he felt that he had been hit by 10,000 critical points...
But the words had already been spoken, so I had no choice but to start talking about basic mathematics...
As Xu Que talked more and more, Yu Yang didn't understand much. After all, he didn't like the art of numerology, but Murong was really different. He was the kind of person who could learn it in one go, and according to Xu Que After reading the theoretical explanation, he felt a sense of enlightenment at this moment.
What Xu Que didn't know was that while he was teaching mathematics to the two of them, the mysterious tree in his mind grew a new branch, and flowers actually grew on the branch...
"Okay, that's all for today." Xu Que stood up and stretched.
"Thank you, Brother Xu, for your advice. I will definitely reward you generously in the future!" Murong Zhen and Yu Yang stood up and bowed their hands.
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I'll just take it as an academic seminar." Xu Que waved his hand with a smile.
In fact, Xu Quezhen didn't take it seriously. After all, these things are basic and easy to understand. It is still very worthwhile to exchange these things for the friendship of two literati...
"Brother Xu, we came here today and there was a lot of trouble between the two of us." Murong Zhen said, "This thing is just a gift."
Murong Zhen took out a folding fan from his sleeves, took two steps forward and handed it to Xu Que.
this……
Xu Que felt that Murong was really a real dog. If you didn’t have a gift to give him, you might as well give him some banknotes, but in the end he gave him a broken fan...
But thinking about it, Xu Que felt a little relieved. Literati in this society seemed to be like this. He could only accept the fan with a tearful smile, and would have to send back the gift later. This time he was missing two bottles of wine... …
"Brother Murong, you're welcome." Xu Que smiled and saluted.
After sending the two people out of the small courtyard, Xu Que ordered his servants to go to the wine room to get wine.
When Murong Zhen and Yu Yang walked out of the Xu Mansion, Xu Que took the two bottles of wine, stepped forward and said with a smile, "I brewed this wine, and it's called Yellow River Drunkenness."
Seeing Xu Que's return gift, Murong Zhen and Yu Yang were surprised. They had heard of this wine, and a pot could be sold for a hundred silver!
"Then thank you, Brother Xu!" Yu Yang took the wine and said with a smile.
"Brother Xu's love is comparable to the depth of the sea. When you and I meet in the capital one day, we must drink and talk happily!" Murong Zhen took the jug and bowed respectfully.
"My dear friends, go slowly!" Xu Que returned the greeting.
Seeing the two of them walking away in the wind, Xu Que curled his lips and exclaimed in his heart, "What a guy!"
Just when Xu Que was returning to the small courtyard, Xu Fan came over and said, "Leaving?"
"Well, let's go!" Xu Que said, "Brother, what do you want from me?"
"It's nothing important. I just want to ask you if I can give my cousin a copy of the notes." Xu Fan said.
"Okay, you just have to make the decision."
Xu Que didn't care. After all, Xu Hu was still part of their family, and one more help was better than one more burden.
"Okay, if he can catch up, maybe the three of us can take the exam together." Xu Fan said with a smile.
Xu Fan nodded, but just as he was about to leave, Xu Fan stopped him.
"Brother, can you lend me the fan in your hand?"
"Ah?" Xu Que didn't react, but he still handed the fan to his elder brother: "Murong Zhen gave this to me."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Fan's eyes widened, and even the hand holding the fan trembled.
Xu Fan knew that there was a guest in Xu Que's courtyard, but he didn't know who it was. But when Xu Que said it was Murong Zhen, he was completely shocked!
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Xu Que asked curiously.
"Brother, do you know who Murong Zhen is?"
Xu Fan didn't check the fan, but just stepped forward and held Xu Que's arm.
"Isn't it just the second place in the last competition? What's so great about this!"
Xu Que didn't take it seriously, that's all he knew about Murong Zhen. After all, the other party didn't have any enmity with him.
"Brother..." Xu Fan was a little excited. He didn't know what to say to Xu Que, but he thought for a moment and said, "Although this person was second in the last examination, you don't know the truth, and his family The room is the scariest thing..."
Hearing what his eldest brother said, Xu Que became curious. He did not interrupt and asked his eldest brother, but asked him to talk about Murong Zhen's background.
Four years ago, Murong Zhen had something to do, so he only answered two exam questions, Policy Theory and Poetry. However, he came second just relying on these two exams. His strength was definitely extraordinary.
The most terrifying thing is that Murong Zhen's father, Murong Chengxuan, is the master of Wenyuan Pavilion, with a first-rank official position. Although Wenyuan Pavilion does not care about the affairs of the court, Murong Chengxuan is different. He has The right to remove any civilized official who is not a Jinshi official!
As long as he says a word, even if you are a third-grade official and not a holy scholar, you will be finished!
After all, the lowest civil servants in the court were ordinary Jinshi, so no matter what they did, they did not dare to offend the people of Wenyuan Pavilion. To put it bluntly, Wenyuan Pavilion was the second giant Buddha in the court.
The emperor could only remove his official position, but if he wanted to change the head of the Wenyuan Pavilion, he had to bathe and burn incense for three days before asking the temple for instructions. If the temple did not speak, the emperor's proposal would be meaningless.
After listening to his eldest brother's story, Xu Que's thought in his heart got even bigger!
After working on it for a long time, Murong really has such an awesome identity!
"Brother, this person is not simple. If we can be friends with him, let's try our best to be friends with him." Xu Fan patted Xu Que on the shoulder, and then looked at the folding fan in his hand.
Xu Cao nodded, but just when he was about to turn around and prepare to ask his elder brother something, he saw the shocked expression on his face!
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Xu Que waved his hand in front of Xu Fan in confusion.
"Wen, Wen... Wenbao folding fan!" Xu Fan shouted in surprise.
If this sound was added with some subtlety, Xu Que would doubt whether his ears would be tinnitus...
"Isn't it just a landscape folding fan? How come it has become a cultural treasure?" Xu Que looked at the fan with a suspicious look on his face.
"What do you know? Although scholars always have four treasures, this fan is indeed a cultural treasure, and its grade has almost reached the level of a spiritual treasure!" Xu Fan said, waving the folding fan in his hand.
This wave didn't matter, I saw a stream of Wen Qi shoot out from the folding fan, directly piercing a small hole in the big tree in the courtyard!
Damn it…
Xu Que was shocked. He looked at the folding fan with an incredulous look.
"My literary spirit is not as strong as yours. I can use it four times at most. Moreover, this is a gift from Murong Zhen. Keep it well." Xu Fan handed the folding fan to Xu Que.
Xu Que did not accept the fan, but asked something that shocked Xu Fan: "Brother, how much is this fan worth?"
Um?
Xu Fan was stunned. He looked at Xu Que with an idiot's eyes. He was very surprised why he would compare such a treasure with the odor of worldly money.
But then he patted his head again, yes, I have just entered the literary world not long ago, and I still don’t understand many things!
"If it were exchanged for gold, it should be exchanged for a thousand pieces of gold." Xu Fan replied.
Hearing what his elder brother said, Xu Que slapped his thigh hard and said, "Twelve coins of silver in exchange for a thousand gold? This business is not a loss!"
Xu Fan's eyes twitched. He wanted to punch Xu Que. Can this thing be compared with gold and silver?
Also, what happened to the twelve coins?
Before Xu Fan could ask, Xu Que waved his hand with a folding fan and said, "Brother, I'm going back first. If you need anything, come find me in the study!"
Seeing Xu Que's leaving figure, Xu Fan stood stunned in the wind, messy...
