Chapter 589: Zhang Juren's Choice
Wu knocked on the door of Zhang Ju's house with three people.
The doorman of Zhang Ju's family immediately opened the door and asked them what they were looking for: "Who are you looking for?" The master of his house did not invite his friends to come as guests today.
Wu Yong hurriedly spoke: "We are here to visit Zhang Juren, we have sent a message before, please inform me." Wu Yong reported the names of the three so that he could report to his master.
Doorman: "Please wait. After saying that, he really turned around and went in to report.
Wu Yong waited outside the door for about a quarter of an hour, and Zhang Juren came out with his own servants to meet people.
Zhang Juren: "I don't know if the three are coming, I am not welcome, please come in quickly." "Zhang Juren has heard of Wu using their big names, or that the people who live in this county will more or less understand the big names in this county first.
Wu Yong and the three were welcomed into the house by Zhang Juren.
Zhang Juren invited them to take a seat, and he sat down on the chair next to him, beckoning the servants to serve tea: "I don't know what is the matter with the three of you coming to me?" The worship post did not explain the purpose of Wu Yong's use, so Zhang Juren was still a little at a loss for Wu Yong's arrival, and there was no way to prepare.
Wu used their limited time, so he didn't delay anything, and directly said the purpose of their coming: "You know our Liangshan Academy on the mountain, the academy has recently recruited a group of new students, in order for them to learn and grow better, we plan to invite some new masters to go up the mountain, we learned about you from Zeng County, so come and visit." ”
Wu used them to be so frank, and he also hoped that he could be honest, whether he refused or accepted.
Zhang Juren really didn't expect Wu Yong to be so straightforward, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so the atmosphere quieted down.
Wu Yong also gave Zhang Juren time to think about it, and the three of them exchanged glances with each other.
Zhang Juren is actually quite satisfied with his current life, there is a reputation that is favorable to him around him, he also has a few students, he has a fixed source of income, and the pace of life is also very leisurely, so he really goes to live in a different place, and he is really a little resistant, especially the place in Liangshan, although it is currently accepted by the imperial court, it may not last long.
Although Zhang Juren thought so, when he replied to Wu Yong, it was obvious that he couldn't say this kind of thing directly, otherwise he would offend people.
Zhang Juren pondered and found a reason: "The disciples I am currently taking have not yet left the school, and I may not be able to accept your invitation, after all, I still have to be responsible for them." This excuse will not offend people, if he changes his mind in the future, there is also a saying, Zhang Juren is still quite satisfied with his answer.
Wu was not surprised that they got this answer, they already knew this person's personality before, and nodded and said: "Then bother you, we still have something to do today, we won't stay here longer, thank you for your hospitality." Wu drank the tea in their hands with them, stood up and said goodbye to Zhang Juren.
Zhang Juren hurriedly stayed: "If things are not urgent, stay here for lunch, right?" If someone comes to visit him and doesn't even entertain a meal, it is a little too rude.
Wu Yong hurriedly said: "We really have something to do, next time we have the opportunity to taste the craftsmanship of Zhang Ju's chef, say goodbye!" Wu Yong and they still have to visit other people.
Zhang Juren hurriedly signaled his subordinates to prepare some atonement gifts, and when he sent them to the carriage, he stuffed things into them.
The coachman started the carriage and left Zhang Juren behind.
Xiao Er came in and asked, "Where are we going next?"
Wu Yong looked at the distance and told Xiao Er: "Go to this Jiang Juren's house." ”
After Xiao Er got the accurate news, he exited the carriage and told the coachman the news, so that he would not go the wrong way.
The scholar opened the bag of things that Zhang Juren stuffed into them, and found that there were some manuscripts inside: "This Zhang Juren is quite interesting, he actually chooses a manuscript, I'll see if there is anything like it on our mountain." "At present, the scholar can already say that he has seen 80% of the books in the academy, and it is quite trustworthy for him to identify them.
The scholar flipped through one by one, 60 percent of which he had already seen in the academy, and the remaining 40 percent, the scholar said, "I may not have seen these yet, or they may really be treasures in his family." ”
Huang Guan: "It seems that this one really cherishes his reputation, and when the time comes, no one will think that his refusal is bad, and they even send out the manuscripts of the treasured books at home to make amends." ”
Wu Yong was not surprised by this: "It is normal for a literati to have a good reputation, as long as he does not ruin the reputation of our academy, he can do whatever he wants, let's focus on the people behind." ”
They may not have a chance to meet this Zhang Juren in the future, so it's better not to spend too much energy on him.
The scholar and Huang Guan nodded hurriedly: "I don't know what that Jiang Juren's personality is?"
Wu Yong: "This requires us to visit." ”
The scholar nodded and asked Wu Yong, "Master, are you hungry?"
Wu Yong: "It's okay for the time being, you go and ask the coachman how long it will take to get to the next location?"
The scholar lifted the curtain and asked, "How long will it take for us to get to Jiang Ju's house?"
The coachman, while steering his horse forward, gave his own judgment: "It will be about half an hour." ”
The scholar returned to the carriage and truthfully reported the journey: "We may have to catch up for lunch time over there, what should we do first?"
This time is really a bit embarrassing, they pass at this time, even if they really bump into someone for dinner, if they don't prepare in advance, it will not be easy to entertain them.
Wu Yong decided: "Take out the dry food and eat some." ”
After Wu Yong made up his mind, the scholar took action, and Huang Guan began to raise the fire of the small stove and prepare to make tea, but it was still too dry to eat only dry food.
Wu Yong also cooperated with the delivery of things, and the carriage was busy for a while.
When the dry food was taken out of the mezzanine, it was still warm, and Wu Yong called Xiao Er to come in, take some out and eat them: "You also fill your stomach." "After all, they're the ones who consume the most energy today.
Xiao Er hurriedly said: "We have something to eat, this is what the chef prepared for the three of you." "It's relatively simple for them to bring their own, but it's still no problem to fill their stomachs.
Wu Yong knew what level the dry food they brought would be, and now maybe it would have been cold a long time ago, so he couldn't question a few on a plate and handed it to him: "Take it and eat it." ”
