Once the carriage passed Wansheng Gate, it was considered to have entered Zhongjing City.A full eight or nine feet wide Suzaku Avenue stretches out, ending at the towering palace wall at the end of the line of sight.

Chen Luo lifted the curtain of the car, and instantly felt like entering the city.This image of the bustling market made him feel like he was in the Qingming Riverside Picture, and his eyes were full of freshness.

"Senior, where are we going now?" Chen Luo asked.

"Go to your mansion, Earl Wan'an Mansion!"

Chen Luo asked subconsciously: "Have you sent me a house? How many rings, how much flat?"

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, he suspected that Chen Luo was using uncommon words to test himself, and he must not lose face, so the great Confucianism's magical power of "searching things to know" was activated, and then he barely understood the meaning of Chen Luo's words, and replied: "In Qing'an The square is a bustling place, but as for the size, you can see it yourself.”

Chen Luo nodded, closed the car curtain, and asked again: "Senior, what do I need to do next? Also, when can I bring my sister and the others over?"

Wei Yan stroked his beard: "After the court meeting in three days, you have to go to the hall to thank you. After completing this step, your status as an earl will be fully agreed. As for your house, you will be taken care of by Tong Chen, so don't worry for now. The old man's suggestion is to wait If you handle everything in Beijing smoothly, you can take them into Beijing."

Wei Yan paused for a moment, and then instructed: "Stay in Zhongjing with peace of mind. If you want to go out of the city, you must say hello to Wenchang Pavilion. You have driven three thousand miles to the sky, and there is no guarantee that no one will attack you. See Wenxiang later. Whoever arranges you to worship, your future teacher should arrange guardians for you!"

Chen Luo nodded, without Wei Yan's instructions, he also planned to do so.Not to mention the dangers that haven't come to the fore, just Gu Sect, he has already offended Lian Ai to death.

The carriage wobbled for a long time, and finally stopped when the morning market was over.Chen Luo, who had been numb for a long time, opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

He raised his head, and there was a vermilion lacquered door facing him. The copper nails on the door were the size of tea bowls, and they were painted with gold lacquer, shining brightly.At this moment, there was a person standing in front of the door, dressed in bright yellow palace clothes, with a one-foot red iris feather in his hat, and holding a whisk.

The man saw Chen Luo get off the car, and noticed Wei Yan who was following behind. He immediately squeezed out a smile, stepped forward quickly, and bowed deeply: "The eunuch Wang Li, the maidservant who clears the salary, has met the great Confucian Mr. Wei, I met Wan Amber."

Wei Yan glanced at Wang Li: "Did Hou An send you here?"

Wang Li didn't dare to get up, and still bowed his waist to reply: "It was Chief Hou who sent his servants. Hou Shoufeng said that the uncle had just arrived, so he took the servants to walk and turn around with the uncle, so as not to feel strange. .”

Wei Yan nodded slightly: "It's intentional." Then he looked at Chen Luo: "You should follow this prince to get acquainted, and the old man will go back to Wenchang Pavilion to hand over the errands. The court will be held in three days, and the old man will send someone to pick you up together. , Don’t snooze and miss the hour.”

Chen Luo nodded, and bowed to Wei Yan again: "Boy, I made a note."

Wei Yan smiled lightly, patted Chen Luo on the shoulder, got into the carriage again, and left slowly.

Watching Wei Yan leave, Chen Luo turned around and cupped his hands at Wang Li who had been standing respectfully by the side: "Thank you, father-in-law!"

Wang Li was overwhelmed by the flattery, and hurriedly returned the gift; "Don't dare, the uncle has beaten the slaves. Please, uncle!"

Wang Li led the way forward, came to the gate, pushed the door hard, and the vermilion lacquer gate slowly opened

Wenchang Pavilion.

"Wen Xiang, I'm back." Wei Yan knocked on the wooden door of Wen Xiang's quiet room.

"Come in!"

Wei Yan pushed open the door and saw Wen Xiang playing chess with a middle-aged man whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.When Wei Yan saw the middle-aged man, surprise appeared on his face, and he hurried forward to pay respects: "Student Wei Yan, I have met my teacher!"

The black-faced man waved his hand slightly: "Okay, get up, our lineage doesn't have so many rules!"

Yan Baichuan smiled and looked at Wei Yan: "The kid settled down?"

Wei Yan quickly replied: "Hou An sent someone to take over!"

Yan Baichuan nodded slightly: "Hou An is a prudent person." Afterwards, Yan Baichuan messed up the chessboard and said with a smile, "Retire, do you want to meet that kid?"

The black-faced man was unmoved by the words, but stared at the disordered chessboard in front of him, and said, "There are two more moves, and you lose!"

"Huh?" Yan Baichuan frowned, "Impossible, the old man has a trick that can turn things around in an instant."

The black-faced man raised his head and glanced at Yan Baichuan. His sleeves brushed across the chessboard, and the disordered pieces instantly returned to their original shape.

"Come on, let me see how you can turn things around!"

Yan Baichuan's expression changed: "Song Tuizhi! This old man is trying to save face for you. Do you think that this old man didn't notice that you used the magic power of 'seeing subtleties' to play chess with me?"

Song Tuizhi gave Yan Baichuan a sideways look: "Don't ask the villain to sue first. It was you who took the first two steps with 'seeing the subtleties'!"

Standing aside, Wei Yan broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. "Knowing the Works by Seeing Small Things" is a supernatural power that can only be mastered by great Confucians who have crossed the five mountains and seas. They can predict the future development of things based on a trace of signs.It is not inferior to Taoist divination.This he has not grasped yet.

It's just that you use it to cheat in chess, is it really okay?

"Song Pifu, let's see how the old man predicts your chess moves!"

"Yan Pifu, let me see what the old man predicts for you!"

"How difficult is this? Let me see what the old man predicts and you predict my prediction!"

"Hehe, the old man will predict your prediction and I will predict your prediction!"

Wei Yan turned around and left the place.He dared to bet that these two world-renowned Confucian scholars would not be able to play a move today even if their throats were hoarse!

Sometimes, the more you know, the harder it is to take the first step!

"Uncle, this is the last courtyard of the Earl's Mansion. In the entire Earl's Mansion, there are a total of twenty wing rooms, twelve independent small courtyards, two main halls, six side halls, and two lower courtyards. There are eight miscellaneous rooms such as stables, water rooms, and kitchens. All the furniture and other items have been assembled. If you see any repairs, I will send the staff from the Department of Internal Affairs to come here."

"No, no, no," Chen Luo was a little stunned. He guessed that the Earl's Mansion was not small, but he never thought it would be so big!This is not a mansion, this is a community, right?

If it is converted into the previous emperor's capital, I have such a house, I don't dare to think about it

"Uncle?"

Chen Luo came back to his senses, and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, I think it's fine."

Wang Li smiled and said: "Uncle thinks it's okay, then there is no problem. There is another matter, please show me."

"You said."

Wang Li hurriedly said: "Uncle is new here, so there must be some servants in this mansion. Do you want slaves to find some teeth?"

It was only then that Chen Luo realized that the Earl's Mansion was very big, and indeed it was not popular at all.They are all uncles, so there must be someone to take care of them, right?Is the dream of buying a few beautiful maids finally coming true?

Chen Luo was about to nod when he suddenly thought of a question——

He has no money!

"Master, why did you come to Zhongjing suddenly?" Wei Yan handed Song Tuizhi a cup of hot tea.

"Isn't it for the Three Thousand Li Tongtian Road?" Song Tuizhi's voice was a little hoarse.

I heard from the person on duty at Wenchang Pavilion that the last quarrel between the mentor and Wenxiang used the magical power of "slightly speaking and righteousness".

Wei Yan was startled at first, and then a happy expression appeared on his face: "So, it's the teacher, you want to put that kid in the door?" But then Wei Yan's expression changed again, "In this way, wouldn't he become my son? Junior brother, are you on the same level as me?"

Song Tuizhi took a sip of tea and moistened his throat: "You think too much, how could you be of the same generation?"

Wei Yan was puzzled: "Could it be that my senior brother wants to take him in? Isn't it safe?"

Song Tuizhi put the teacup on the table, and said lightly: "Your master asked me to come, for a period of one month, to see how the character of the master of Tongtian Road is. If I pass the test, the old man will accept apprentices on behalf of the master. Will become the old man's junior brother, your junior uncle, how could he be of the same generation?"

Wei Yan froze: "My little uncle?"

At this time, Chen Luo was sitting on the roof of the Earl's Mansion, looking at the sky full of stars, and muttering in his mouth: "It's money!"
