The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 65 Doubt
Xuan Shijing was walking in the garden, and accidentally met Li Shiqing, who should be called Xuan Shiqing now.

"Cousin." Xuan Shijing greeted, and ran towards Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing stopped and looked at Xuan Shijing: "What's the matter?"

"Cousin, don't be so alienated. You and I are cousins, so we should get closer. What is cousin doing recently?" Speaking of familiarity, Xuan Shiqing can really feel this. word meaning.

But when Xuan Shiqing asked this question, Xuan Shijing suddenly became curious, what are children at Tang's age like Xuan Shiqing doing?It stands to reason that this age is the time when Xuan Shijing and the honorable children of Chang'an City entered the Hongwen Museum together, but this is a special case after all, because according to Xuan Shijing's age, he cannot enter the Hongwen Museum. Students are generally in their teens.

Xuan Shijing looked at Xuan Shiqing for a while, but no one in the house came to report that Xuan Shiqing was studying or something, so what did he do all day long in the Hou's mansion.

"I have been enrolled in the Hongwen Museum since the first lunar month." Xuan Shijing replied, and then asked: "I don't know what my cousin is busy with."

"Hey, what else can I be busy with? My mother hired a gentleman for me and shut me up in the yard to study every day. I finally came out to breathe. Didn't I meet my cousin?" Xuan Shi Qing replied with a smile.

It turns out that the husband was invited, but Xuan Shijing forgot about it. Not all rich and big families have invited the husband to teach their children, but most of the people who go to private schools outside are the children of ordinary people. , and later fell into Enke, the so-called humble scholar in the court.

"But cousin, you are really good. You even went to the Hongwen Museum. I heard that the gentlemen in the Hongwen Museum are all respected literary masters, and the Hongwen Museum only accepts the children of the rich and powerful. My cousin can enter the Hongwen Museum at a young age. It can be seen How much His Majesty favors you." Xuan Shijing sighed, frustrated in his heart, why didn't he have that fate: "By the way, cousin, I heard that you were assassinated at your house during the Chinese New Year?"

"En?" Xuan Shijing was puzzled, why did Xuan Shiqing bring this up?

"I heard people say that Dabao and Erbao bravely captured the assassin." Xuan Shiqing scratched his head and smiled.

It turns out that since Dabao and Erbao settled down in the Hou Mansion, Xuan Shiqing has always had ideas and wanted to raise a tiger or something. After hearing that the tiger raised by Xuan Shijing could catch assassins, this idea became more and more serious. It's getting stronger.

"Cousin, I heard that there are three more assassins staying in the house, why didn't I see it?"

"What do you want this assassin for?" Xuan Shiqing asked curiously.

Xuan Shiqing paused, then smiled awkwardly: "I'm curious, I just want to see it."

Xuan Shijing also smiled, and said: "These three people are now thrown to Zhuangzi to do coolies."

"That's it, then I can't see it, haha." Xuan Shijing laughed dryly, and then said: "I almost forgot, if I have been out for a long time, my mother will look for me, cousin, I will go first It's over." After finishing speaking, Xuan Shiqing turned around and ran towards his yard.

Looking at Xuan Shiqing's leaving back, Xuan Shijing's expression was a bit complicated, how did Xuan Shiqing mention the matter of the assassin in such a good manner, could it be that the assassin has something to do with him?
Shaking his head, Xuan Shiqing is still just a child, how could such a thing get involved, but if it doesn't matter, why would Xuan Shiqing come to inquire about it.Xuan Shijing thought carefully.

"Young Master, why are you standing here?"

Xuan Shijing, who was thinking, looked up, and it turned out to be Uncle Xiang.

"Uncle Xiang." Xuan Shijing greeted and said, "I was going to my mother's place, and I just met my cousin here, and we chatted for a while."

Xuan Shijing remembered that Uncle Xiang was the one who helped out that night, and asked, "Uncle Xiang, have you been paying attention to those three assassins recently?"

Uncle Xiang nodded: "I told the people in Zhuangzi to keep an eye on it, but there is no movement yet."

"It's really calm." Xuan Shijing said to himself.

Uncle Xiang smiled: "If I were them, I would be able to hold my breath. The more urgent this matter is, the easier it is to show my feet. Although the Hou Mansion has no power and power in the court, it doesn't mean that the Hou Mansion can be bullied by others, let alone be bullied." What's more, a group of people came from Erxian Village recently, so they naturally dare not act rashly."

When Uncle Jing Xiang said this, Xuan Shijing also felt that what Uncle Xiang said made sense, is it more patience, then it will be exhausting.

"Uncle Xiang, you are at the house, occasionally pay attention to my cousin, just now he seems to be intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about the assassin.

"If it's Young Master Biao, it's impossible, but if that's the case, I'm afraid it's not Young Master Biao that you need to pay attention to, but your cousins ​​and aunts." Uncle Xiang said.

Xuan Shijing frowned, if this matter had something to do with Xuan Lindao, then what exactly did he want to do?What good would it do their family to tie themselves up?
"Maybe he's just curious, just asking casually." Xuan Shijing said: "We don't need to be all soldiers, just pay attention to the following on weekdays."

Uncle Xiang stroked his beard, nodded expressionlessly, and then replied, "Understood."

"Uncle Xiang, did my cousin invite his wife to come to his house for my cousin?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Exactly, it's just that this is their own business, so we never mentioned it to the young master. There is another thing, the cousin is often not at the house recently, and the people in the house have seen it in the restaurants in Chang'an City. He seems to be dealing with some dignitaries."

Xuan Lindao's move was in line with the information that Zhong Zishuo found out. Xuan Lindao's family came to settle in Chang'an City, and they really wanted to find a new backing for the Li family. As for why such a large family of Li family insisted on Xuan Lindao Coming with Mrs. Li, I'm afraid it's because Xuan Lindao is Xuan Shijing's cousin. Although Xuan Shijing is young, he is a marquis after all, and he is favored by the emperor. He has a close relationship with Xuan Lindao , with the help of the Hou Mansion, dealing with the dignitaries of Chang'an City can be regarded as gaining some confidence for myself. If other people are sent over, let alone the fact that the Li family was originally close to the Zhao Wang Mansion, it is for no reason. Here we come, how can we quickly break into the honorable circle of Chang'an City?

But after thinking about it, the Li family's move is indeed justifiable. If the Li family's son came to Chang'an, it would inevitably make people think that the Li family saw that King Zhao went to Anzhou and could not protect them, and then looked for another backer. Some people take the meaning of cold tea, but Xuan Lindao's family is different. They are not the direct descendants of the Li family, and they are related to Xuanwei Hou in Chang'an City. Outsiders don't know the grievances and resentments between the two families. When you come to Chang'an and make friends with dignitaries, ordinary people will only think that this is an ordinary walk.

"Don't pay attention to these." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "The people they made friends with are just some new dignitaries. If they were the nobles who came out of the army with His Majesty, they would definitely not pay attention to them. Just to be sure, there is a friendship between them, so they know what kind of people I am, and they will naturally not have any contact with the Yao family."

What Xuan Shijing said was right. The Tang Dynasty paid the most attention to morality. Some things about Xuan Lindao and the Li family back then have been circulated among the high-ranking nobles in Chang'an City, although they are more or less embellished or based on It's a generalization, but it will definitely not affect these people's evaluation of them.

Uncle Xiang nodded in agreement, looked at Xuan Shijing with more satisfaction, and completely approved Xuan Shijing, the new owner of Erxian Village, from the bottom of his heart.
