There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

After Wu Youwei went back, he put the jade ball and the bracket in the space, so he should keep these things for himself.

Then I asked Master Mu to carve a statue of Sakyamuni, using a piece of high-quality suet white jade. The most wonderful thing about this white jade is that it is topped with light yellow topaz.

This piece can be carved into Buddha's light, and then the Buddha's head will look better.

Then Wu Youwei took the etiquette and went to the two teachers' homes as early as possible.

Of course he couldn't go directly. Visiting in ancient times was very particular. Wu Youwei took gifts and went to his new home in the outer city of the capital. The doctor's family lived here. After such a short time, his complexion has improved. many.

He will stay here for two days. On the day he came, he wrote a greeting card and sent someone to send it out.

The first one given was naturally Chen Jianjia, who was the chief examiner.

Chen Jian's mansion is in the outer city of the capital. Regardless of his official position, he really doesn't have much wealth. He can't afford houses in the inner city, and most of the people living in the inner city are high-ranking officials. He is not considered a "high-ranking official".

Wu Youwei handed over the name card the day before yesterday, and he received the news that he could come to the door that day, so he came.

Chen's Mansion is not big, it is a quadrangle courtyard with four entrances and cross courtyards. Once you enter it, it is naturally an upside-down house with carriages and stables.

The first entry is the front yard and the wing room for receiving guests. The third entry is Wu Youwei, but I guess it is the backyard. The fourth entry is the place where the girls of the Chen family live. The second entry is for the son and daughter-in-law. place.

The guest rooms of their house are the east and west wing rooms in the front yard and the east and west wing rooms in the back yard.

Wu Youwei was the Master Chen Jianzuo whom he met in Erjin's living room.

Chen Jian is a literati in his forties. Men in this era pay attention to standing at thirty and not being confused at forty.

After the age of 30, most people begin to grow beards and beards. Folks often say that "you can't do things with a hairless mouth", which means that you are young and half dead, and you don't specifically refer to beards.

"Student Wu Maid, Wu Youwei, I have met my teacher!" Wu Youwei bent down ninety degrees and bowed to the end.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Chen Jian stroked his beard and smiled, "Get up."

yes. Only then did Wu Youwei straighten his waist.

Chen Jian also took the opportunity to look at Wu Youwei. This well-known young disciple has experienced so many things, but his eyes are still clear. He is a child with a strong mind. less good reputation

Although the family has been separated, everyone knows that Maid Wu is a bastard. Now that the filial piety period has passed, it is natural to separate the family. It's just that he hasn't married yet, so the Wu family can't do well in this regard.

He brought Wu Youwei into the study, which meant being close, rather than just sitting in the living room.

There are a lot of books on one wall of the study room, the Four Books and Five Classics alone account for half, and the other half are various miscellaneous books.

Wu Youwei thanked him for his seat, and after he sat down, a bookboy served a teacup with a three-cai bowl.

There are also two plates of small snacks.

After Wu Youwei drank tea and ate snacks, Chen Jian asked Wu Youwei about his studies. Hearing that he was still studying at home, he said displeasedly: "Why don't you go to the academy? Try to learn it well, Xinhuangdeng

Kei can have Enke, you... can you give it a try? "

"Teacher, it's not that the students are lazy, but that the students have been filial piety for three years. Although the books are not delayed, I am afraid that I am not ready." Wu Youwei also told the truth: "Students are smart, but not much wisdom. It would be better to study solidly for three to five years if you will try to get a fellow Jinshi, and then take the exam again, at least it won't be embarrassing.

This "same Jinshi" is not a good word for "Mrs. Ru".

"You have a good idea, you are not flustered, you participated in" two cultural conferences, you are well-known, and you are very happy to be a teacher. There are not many students with such a face: "I will have dinner at home today, and I will ask your teacher to make you a duck with distiller's grains."

"Okay!" Wu Youwei said with a smile, "I've heard from Xiya and the others that Master's distiller's lees and ducks are one of a kind. The students have been greedy for three years, and finally they have a chance to eat them."

Mentioning Li Dongyang and the others made Chen Jian even happier. These are all his students, and these students are promising. It will be very convenient for them to watch and help each other in the court.

Wu Youwei ate lunch at Chen Jian's place. The duck with distilled lees was really delicious, but after eating it, his face flushed. This was because the duck with distilled lees contained wine, which naturally had alcohol content.

After Wu Youwei came to the Ming Dynasty, the wine he drank was rice wine, vegetarian wine and the like, and there was no such thing as high-concentration wine.

His cheeks were flushed, and he looked like someone who had no capacity for alcohol.

But it made Chen Jian laugh out loud: "In the future, you have to practice your drinking capacity, and you will get drunk after eating a duck lees. If you go to the Qionglin banquet in the future, you will not be disrespectful in front of the imperial court?"

"Practice when the students go back." Wu Youwei patted his cheek: "Why don't you go down the heat?"

It made Chen Jian laugh again, and then sent someone to send him back.

Wu Youwei went to Liu Xuan's house the next day.

Unlike Chen Jian's family, Liu Xuan's family has a small population. Although the layout of the mansion is similar, there are only one son and one daughter. The child was born, and up to now, there are still swords, guns, swords and halberds in the yard in the front yard of their house.

When he was free, he also practiced twice, but his health was much better than the average literati.

It's just because his hobby-like literati can't accept it.

But after Wu Youwei entered, his eyes showed envy for those weapons.

"Why, do you like it?" Standing at the door, Liu Xuan saw Wu Youwei and the expression on his face at a glance.

"I like it!" Wu Youwei blurted out without thinking, "This is a weapon!"

"Don't you think it's vulgar?" Liu Xuan continued to ask him with a straight face.

Many people never came to his door because of seeing this. Although they respected him as a teacher from the outside, sir, they didn't agree with his practice of cultivating both civil and martial arts.

"Vulgar?" Wu Youwei said in disapproval: "Without the protection of this sword, spear, sword and halberd, would my Ming be as stable as it is today? If not for the control of axes, axes and forks, how would my Ming be as peaceful as it is today?"

These two sentences won Liu Xuan's favor: "Not bad, not bad!"

"Student Wu Maid, Wu Youwei, I have met my teacher." Wu Youwei still bowed to the end.

"Get up." Liu Xuan stroked his beard and turned to enter the room: "Come in.

"Yes." Wu Youwei quickly raised his leg and went in.

Different from the Chen Mansion, all the secondary entrances of the Liu Mansion are Liu Xuan’s territory. The study room is very large and covered with books, which is similar to Chen Jian’s, except that there are only four books and five classics in Chen Jian’s place, except for the Four Books and Five Classics here. , and the book of war.sit. "Liu Xuan pointed to the chair next to him.

Wu Youwei thanked him, took a seat, watched tea, the procedure was the same as he was treated in Chen Jian's mansion.

"Do you want to catch up with Enke now?" Liu Xuan asked Wu Youwei directly.

"I don't want to." Wu Youwei shook his head, saying the same thing as Chen Jian said.

Liu Xuan nodded: "Alright, you're not in good health, take care of yourself. It's not too late to take the exam.

At Liu Xuan's house, Wu Youwei ate very authentic home-cooked dishes, because Liu Xuan's wife was not from a wealthy family, so the meals cooked for them were home-cooked but delicious.

After visiting these two masters, Wu Youwei returned to Mo Ling Villa.

Coincidentally, Wantong's injury is half healed, at least he can go back to the capital by car.

He wanted to leave, no one dared to stop him, so he changed on the same day, and put on the clothes that Xu Niang made for him in a hurry, it really looked like a tree in the wind.

Wu Youwei felt that if this guy walked on the street in later generations, he would be found and abducted by scouts.

Dashan drove Wu Youwei's carriage, and Wantong was sitting in the car. Wu Youwei was worried, and asked Dahai to drive a car, pulling the housekeeper, and Xiaoxiao took Wantong's other clothes. Follow along to send one.

Because he had just returned from the capital, he gave his carriage to Wantong, so he didn't follow him, because he still had something to do here.

Wantong was walking on the road in a car, and naturally saw the scenery outside, so he asked Xiao Xiao, who was holding him a small package and giving him a ride by the way: "These are all your master's properties?"

"Yes, the master is kind-hearted. He thought that the houses in the village were not good, so he built a new one for the big guys to live in, as well as a medical center and a grocery store..." Xiaoxiao explained to him by pointing outside.

Wantong thought for a while, was it really Mr. Wu's plan for him?

According to the style of the imperial court, if you buy land without the consent of your parents, you can only sign a white deed, and it will belong to whoever owns it. The risk is too high, and no one dares to do that.

And Wu Youwei's property is obviously very large, which means ancestral property. It can be seen that only Mrs. Wu can do this.

The old man is indeed far-sighted, no wonder the first emperor is optimistic about his eldest granddaughter.

It's a pity that just because the old man is good doesn't mean that the offspring are also good. The eldest daughter of the Wu family, Wu Qian'er, is more than ruthless, but not as shrewd.

At a young age, he beat and scolded the maids around him at will, with a vicious heart.

Wu Youwei came back. Naturally, the housekeeper's wife came to tell him about the past two days. One thing caught his attention. Recently, the youngest son of the housekeeper of Wu's house wanted to enter the yard frequently. He now lives over the barn and his eldest niece lived in the two rooms on the other side of the poultry. Wu Youwei did not allow them to enter the yard, and even for meals, Chef Fang's son sent them there. a food box.

But I don't know what happened recently, ever since Chef Fang's daughter went to deliver a meal, he started to want to go to the backyard just a few days after Ansheng. Fortunately, the house is strictly controlled, and he couldn't get in.

"Go and ask Chef Fang to come over." Wu Youwei touched his chin.

After a while, Chef Fang came and said, "Master, take care of that one over there. The little girl went to deliver a meal that day, but she didn't leave the corner door. When he saw it, he rushed over like a wolf. Fortunately, the little girl His daughter hurriedly closed the corner door, but he knocked hard outside, but couldn't open it, and the child ran back in fright.

Wu Youwei smiled: "He has taken a fancy to your daughter."

"Ah bah!" Chef Fang waved his chubby arms, "He's the only one? The toad wants to eat swan meat!"

"Don't worry, he won't be able to get in outside. Let your eldest son deliver the meals in the future. If he is so stubborn and breaks his arms and legs, it will be fine." Wu Youwei said: "As long as you keep your breath, it will be fine." .”

"Okay!" Chef Fang was happy this time: "If he talks disgusting things through the wall again....

"Just pour him with boiling water!" Wu Youwei said, "The walls of our house are all made of blue bricks and stones, so we are not afraid of boiling water."

Chef Fang really didn't expect this, and his eyes lit up immediately: "Master, you are the best!

Why didn't he think of it?

The bad thing is that he has let his daughter live in the backyard for the past two days, which is separated from the kitchen by a road and far away from the courtyard wall, so he can't hear those slanderous words.

Another thing is that Mudan and the others cleaned up the room after Lord Qianhu left, and found the letter paper left by Lord Qianhu and the 1000 tael bank note.

The letter said thanks to Wu Youwei for saving his life, and the 1000 taels were for the expenses of these two days.

And ask Wu Youwei, what kind of medicine is he using?Very easy to use ah!

"What does this mean?" Wu Youwei touched the bank note in confusion.

"Maybe this lord thought you didn't come back so soon." The housekeeper said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have left the letterhead and bank note. Wouldn't it be better to hand it to you face to face?"

"That's right!" Wu Youwei remembered that when he came back, Wantong had already dressed and was going out slowly, and then his car was requisitioned.

After changing a horse-drawn carriage, I didn't even change the driver, so I went to the capital again.

He has to leave early, otherwise he is afraid that when he enters the city, the city gates will be closed...
