"Wang Jian, who is this?"
Li Ji pointed at Xi Junmai and asked curiously.
The young man standing behind Wang Jian looks young, but his whole person gives him a calm feeling.
"General Li, his name is Xi Junmai, and he is a brother of the Marquis of our county."
Wang Jian went on to tell Xi Junmai's experience, and specifically mentioned Come to Xijun to buy your ambition and personal bravery.
"You suffered hardships at a young age, but you are not knocked down by them. He is a responsible man." Li Ji praised him, and then said with emotion, "Wang Jian, your county prince's mansion is really full of talents, and the military commander Geizi is too. "More!"
Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao came out of the Wagang Army together. The three of them were generals on the same side and had close ties with each other.
He knew that Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong each accepted a disciple with outstanding martial arts skills, and their disciples came out of the county prince's mansion together.
Xue Rengui was not only proficient in bow and horse, but also familiar with military books. Even Zuo Pu Shefang Xuanling personally recommended him to Li Jing.
"General Li, Xi Junmai is also a good young man who is capable of both literary and martial arts. Uncle Cheng and Uncle Yuchi wanted to take him as their disciple, but I rejected them both."
" No matter how good a seedling is, it still needs the guidance of talented people like you and Uncle Li in order to thrive."
"Otherwise, having talent without the guidance of a good teacher will be like a piece of jade covered with dust, which will fade away over time. Light~"
Li Ji is such a smart man, he immediately heard Wang Jian's mysterious voice.
"Xi Junmai, shall we go for a walk?" Li Ji stood up and looked up at the young man who was nearly a head taller than him.
Xi Junmai did not agree immediately, but looked at Wang Jian expectantly.
"Go, General Li is an invincible and invincible God of War." Wang Jian smiled and waved.
Xi Junmai nodded, put the weapon box gently on the table, and followed Li Ji out with an anxious expression.
After a while, Hong Funu walked in from the outside with long strides. She saw that Wang Jian was the only one left in the lobby, so she asked curiously.
"Wang Jian, why are you alone? Where did Li Ji go?"
"Aunt, General Li and the young man I brought with me just went out for a while. Chatting in the courtyard." Wang Jian stood up and said respectfully.
The Hongfu Girl obviously has the face of a girl from a Jiangnan water town, but every move she makes looks like a person from the green forest.
"Don't be formal, sit down and talk." Hongfu Nu sat casually on the chair and waved.
She looked Wang Jian up and down, with a bit of regret in her eyes.
"You are very handsome, and you have achieved such high achievements at a young age. It is a pity that I do not have a daughter, otherwise it would be great to let her marry you."
"You are such a good person. Son-in-law, I don’t know who will get an advantage."
Hongfu Nu's speech is somewhat similar to Cheng Yaojin's. She is straightforward and doesn't like to beat around the bush.
"Wang Jian, how old are you this year? "Hong Fu Nu asked next.
"Aunt, I am 17 years old. "
"You are 17 years old. You are not very old. I am afraid that the one in the palace is targeting you. "Hong Fu Nu shook her head and said with a chuckle.
Wang Jian was stunned for a moment after hearing Hong Fu Nu's words.
He recalled that when he went to see Empress Changsun, Changsun The queen told him to put his career first and marry a wife three to five years later.
Just as the two of them were chatting enthusiastically, Li Jing came out with Xue Rengui with a smile on his face.
p>
"Wang Jian, I accept Xue Rengui as my disciple! "Li Jing said with satisfaction.
After just half a quarter of an hour of question and answer, Li Jing discovered that Xue Rengui was very spiritual in the army, and his martial arts was also good.
Xue Rengui Capable of both literary and martial arts, he is completely like Su Dingfang, who is more than ten years younger.
"Congratulations to Uncle Li for getting a good disciple. "Wang Jian's face lit up and he quickly stood up to congratulate.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ji also walked in from the outside with Xi Junmai.
Wang Jian looked at Xi Junmai You can guess from the happy look that Li Ji has taken a liking to him, and he is relieved.
The purpose of this trip has been achieved.
"Congratulations to the pharmacist for accepting another good disciple. "Li Ji clasped his hands and congratulated Li Jing.

He walked up to Wang Jian and Li Jing and said with a smile: "I I am also preparing to accept Xi Junmai as my disciple! ”
“Haha, it’s a double happiness today. "Li Jing stroked his beard and burst into laughter.
The next apprenticeship ceremony was simple.
Li Jing and Hongfu Nu had been knights in the world for a while, and Li Ji Born in the Wagang Army, they were informal people and did not engage in complicated rituals. p>
"It's a pity that Wang Jian has become his disciple, otherwise I would also like to accept you as my disciple. "Li Jing said with regret.
In addition to being calm and bold, the most important thing for a military commander is to be spiritual and not to follow rules.
These days He saw this in Wang Jian.
"Okay, isn't it enough to accept two outstanding disciples, Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui? Let's go eat first. Wang Jian brought the prepared food. "Hong Fu Nu waved her hands and said with a kind smile.
"After hearing what Madam said, my hungry worm started to make trouble again. "Li Jing said jokingly.
"Hahaha. "
Wang Jian and the others burst out laughing.
Unexpectedly, Li Jing, who was so stern in court, would be so cheerful and easy-going at home.
If Li Jing were not wearing a general's armor, no one would think that he was a general if he went out in casual clothes.
At the dinner table, Li Jing and the other three tasted the craftsmanship of Wangxian Hou Mansion for the first time. They ate happily and marveled at the same time.
"No wonder Wang Jian brought the food here. It's so delicious."
"The pork is well cooked and has no odor at all. It tastes as good as mutton!"
Hong Fu Nu’s eating style was the most generous. While she was eating meat, she raised a large bowl filled with wine and frequently clinked glasses with Wang Jian.
"The reason why this pork doesn't smell bad is because the piglets were castrated when they were young, and the adult pigs weigh nearly 400 kilograms."
"The court also passed down the castration method. In various states and counties, I believe that within a few years, the price of pork will be significantly reduced.”
“In the future, ordinary people will no longer have the luxury of eating meat.”
Wang Jiangui. They explained, taking the time to slow down while talking.
Hong Fu Nu always clinks glasses with him, and if he keeps drinking like this, he will end up lying on the table in a short time.
"The method of castration may seem small, but it can benefit the country and the people. It is actually a great method. Come and let us go." Li Jing raised his wine glass and gestured to everyone on the table.
They were happy today. They ate, drank and chatted until the full moon was high in the sky.
When leaving Duke Dai's Mansion, Wang Jian walked a little lightly, but fortunately he was just a little tipsy and not drunk.
Li Jing, Li Ji and Hongfu Nu were so good at persuading people to drink that they couldn't even stop and take a rest.
On the way back, Xi Junmai asked with doubts.
"Master Marquis, why did Master accept me as his disciple?"
Wang Jian looked back at him, shook his heavy head, and whispered.
"The imperial court is divided into several factions, namely the Guanlong Group, the Generals Group, the Advisors Group, the Regional Gentlemen Group, and the recently emerged Hanmen Group."
"Li Ji was born in the Wagang Army and belonged to the same general group as General Cheng, General Qin and others. They had a natural conflict of interest with the counselor group and the noble family group."
"Therefore, the general group pulled the Han family group back. , to strengthen their power."
Fang Xuanling told Wang Jian about these imperial interest groups.
In the court, if you say the wrong word or do the wrong thing, you may be irreversible.
Therefore, when Fang Xuanling taught Wang Jian, he started from the most basic interest relationship.
Only when you can gain a firm foothold in the court can you have the opportunity to display your talents.
"Master Hou, does Hanmen Group refer to the county prince's mansion?"
Xi Junmai was smarter and understood the key to the problem at once.
