On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 253 Newcomer of Xu Clan

As early as the sixth day of June, Bodhisattva had ended his five-month mourning period. After bidding farewell to his parents, he returned to Daxing at the end of June.

At that time, He Tuo reported Su Wei's clique, and his grandfather Yang Jian ordered a thorough investigation.

The Bodhisattva slave was not interested in what was going on in the court. Instead, he was curious about the new junior disciple of Weishui Academy.

He is said to be a junior brother, but he is much older than him, already eighteen years old.

Bodhisattva's slave mind said:

'I have come to be a disciple at this age, so I am definitely not here for my knowledge.'

As we all know, Cui Che, Duke of Yan, and Yang Xuangan, the eldest son of Yang Su, Duke of Yue, both came from Xu Wenyuan's sect.

In the future, if you want to be involved in the officialdom, connections are essential. Once you enter Weishui Academy, you will be in the same school as Cui Che, Yang Xuangan and others.

Therefore, over the years, there have indeed been many sons of ministers trying their best to become his disciples.

Xu Wenyuan also discovered this, so he was more rigorous in recruiting disciples than before.

Although he knew that this person had impure intentions, he was still accepted as his disciple. Either he was from a noble family, and Xu Wenyuan could not refuse.

Either he is so talented that Xu Wenyuan cannot bear to refuse.

The Bodhisattva slave found his senior brother Li Mi, who was close to him, and asked about that person.

Li Mi saw the Bodhisattva slave asking about the new classmates and frowned:

"That man was born with an iron mouth."

The Bodhisattva slave said doubtfully:

"Why do you say that?"

Li Mi didn't seem to have a good impression of that person and snorted coldly:

"Whenever you argue with him, it is obvious that he is wrong, but he always makes clever excuses and refuses to admit his mistakes no matter what."

The Bodhisattva slave suddenly realized that this was what his father often called a tough-tongued man. It seems that Li Mi had experienced that man's stubbornness personally, and that was why he ridiculed him for having a tough mouth.

However, although Li Mi disliked the new student of the academy, he knew his family background quite well. When the Bodhisattva slave asked about it, Li Mi introduced him:

"This man's ancestors were Hu people from the Western Regions. His surname was Zhi, and he lived in Xinfeng County (today's Lintong District, Xi'an).

"My grandfather Zhi Zhi died young, and my grandmother took her father Zhi Zhi and remarried to the Wang family in Bacheng (today's Dali, Shaanxi Province), so she changed her surname to Wang.

"His father is now the governor of Bianzhou (now Kaifeng, Henan)."

The Bodhisattva slave said helplessly:

"After talking for a long time, you still haven't told me the name of that person."

"oh!"

Li Mi didn't take it seriously and said:

"His name is Wang Shichong."

("Old Tang Book·Volume 189·Confucian Studies": Xu Wenyuan: Wang Shichong was also from the same family, so he was quite familiar with him.)

Wang Shichong was sitting in the school building, looking intently at the horoscope book in his hand.

Because his ancestors were from the Western Regions, he had curly hair, which often attracted the attention of others.

"Cui Qiji has returned to the academy."

A classmate not far away said to his friend.

Wang Shichong's ears picked up the sensitive words, and he finally raised his head.

He had never seen the Bodhisattva slave before, but seeing the handsome young man walking in hand in hand with Li Mi, Wang Shichong immediately confirmed his identity.

When Wang Shichong came to visit Weishui Academy this time, it was for the Bodhisattva slaves.

As the eldest son of Duke Yan, his mother is Princess Leping. Apart from the princes and grandsons, there is no one with a more prominent background than him in the world.

Before entering Weishui Academy, Wang Shichong also inquired and found out that Bodhisattva Nu and Li Mi were the most friendly.

Since the Bodhisattva slave returned to Hebei to observe filial piety, Wang Shichong was not able to get acquainted with him immediately, but he had planned to get along well with Li Mi first.

It's just that no matter how good the abacus is, Wang Shichong always feels that he and Li Mi are naturally in conflict for some reason, and he feels uncomfortable when he sees him.

In the previous debate with Li Mi, Wang Shichong also knew that he was wrong, but he was unwilling to bow to Li Mi.

He didn't know why, but he couldn't bend down when facing Li Mi.

Li Mi didn't have this feeling.

In other words, Li Mi was not from the Bolingcui family. Otherwise, when he was debating with him and seeing Wang Shichong being so arrogant, Li Mi would have punched him long ago.

When the Bodhisattva slave entered the school building, many classmates came up to greet him.

It’s not all for the sake of his parents. The Bodhisattva slave loves to make friends. Yang Lihua is such a son, and he usually gives him a lot of money to socialize.

As soon as the Bodhisattva slave comes to vacation, he will invite his classmates to eat and drink in the restaurant. This is how good popularity comes.

Others might not be able to handle the warm greetings from the classmates, but even though the Bodhisattva slave was young, he was used to such scenes of stars overlapping the moon.

He dealt with the crowd skillfully, and at the same time carefully looked at Wang Shichong through the cracks in the crowd.

Wang Shichong's curly hair is really eye-catching, the only one in the entire academy.

The two people's eyes met briefly. The Bodhisattva slave nodded slightly to Wang Shichong, and Wang Shichong smiled back.

Then they moved away.

Wang Shichong also knew that he could not eat hot tofu in a hurry. Moreover, he had a bad relationship with Li Mi. If he wanted to make good friends with the Bodhisattva slave, he could only slowly look for opportunities.

The Bodhisattva slave returned to his seat, and Li Mi, who was sitting next to him, said softly:

"As expected, I came here for you."

The Bodhisattva slave looked at Li Mi strangely, and there was a smell of jealousy in his words.

There is no doubt that the word jealous was also learned from his father Cui Che.

At night, when he returned to his dormitory, Bodhisattva took up a pen and wrote a letter to his father.

Not only did he wish to be safe, but he also mentioned the quarrel between Li Mi and Wang Shichong. Having known Li Mi for many years, this was the first time that the Bodhisattva slave saw him rejecting someone so much.

The Bodhisattva slave knew that his father valued Li Mi very much.

Not only does a son know his father better, but he who is a son also knows his father well.

I don’t know the specific reason, but it may be because of Li Mi’s father, Li Kuan, the Duke of Pushan County.

Therefore, when the Bodhisattva slave wrote a letter home to Cui Che, he would mention Li Mi to some extent.

The letter to his father was written in an instant. After the ink dried, the Bodhisattva slave folded it into an envelope.

Early the next morning, the Bodhisattva slave found the servant who rented a house outside the academy and ordered him to send the family letter to Anping County immediately.

When this family letter arrived in Anping County, it was already late July, and Cui Che had already learned about Su Wei's resignation as prime minister.

Just like when Yang Su was dismissed from office and sent a letter of condolences himself, Cui Che also wrote a private letter of condolences to Su Wei.

What's the icing on the cake compared to providing help when it's time?

At first, because of Su Wei's son Su Kui, the two had less private contact. Now that Su Wei is in trouble, it is the time for Xiaoyi Mei Cuilang to show his concern.

After sending someone to deliver the letter to Daxing, Cui Che took the unopened letter from home to Yang Lihua's bedroom.

Yang Lihua and Zhang Lihua were both pregnant in October last year, and their delivery date is approaching.

Looking at the envelope in Cui Che's hand, Yang Lihua's eyes lit up:

"Is this a letter from the Bodhisattva slave?"

Cui Che nodded and handed the envelope to her, letting Yang Lihua read it first. Cui Che put his ear on Yang Lihua's belly and listened to the fetal movement.

Yang Lihua said to herself while reading the letter:

"Sure enough, I mentioned Li Mi again. The two of them are really close. Alas! Why is there another Wang Shichong this time?"

Cui Che's pupils were slightly dilated, as if he heard something strange in Yang Lihua's stomach.

I really am not making this up, Wang Shichong is indeed a disciple of Xu Wenyuan.

Xu Wenyuan is afraid that he is really teaching dragon slaying skills.

I originally planned not to stay up late and write tomorrow morning, but I couldn't resist the temptation of the football match. Well, tomorrow's update will be in the afternoon. I'll watch Arsenal play Manchester City first.
