Chapter 307 The Lady

"Zimei, Chen Lang is a person who does great things. Why do you need to search for chapters and learn from those old-fashioned ideas?"

Chen Guang unexpectedly, Gao Shi's arrival liberated him from the study plan of the Poetry Saint, and he was worthy of being a child of aristocratic family who almost became the leader of Yanzhao Youxia when he was young.

Gao Shi's origin was not bad. His grandfather was Gao Kan, an Andongdu, back then. His father Gao Chongwen was the chief minister of Shaozhou, but he lost his father at a young age. After that, his family fell into decline. He himself was a real farming and studying, and traveled to the northern part of Yan and Zhao for a long time and went deep into the people. The growth environment was completely different from Du Fu, who traveled around the world with his father and went to the palaces of the princes when he was young.

Du Fu looked at Gao Shi, who should have such a look on his face, so he had to put down the "Shangshu" in his hand. He knew that Feng Chang had left Gao Lishi's path early in the morning and got the papers for the provincial examinations of the current subjects. He had long been familiar with the scriptures and other Shenlangs, even if they closed their eyes, could write the right place.

But Du Fu felt that Chen Guang was so smart that he should be full of knowledge. So even though he had already completed the modification and polishing of Chen Guang's policy, he still insisted on urging Chen Guang to study without any time.

"Brother Gao said it, but I am persistent."

Du Fu did not continue to persist. In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examinations did not emphasize Confucianism as much as later generations. During the examinations, the posting of scriptures and silent principles was suppressed by poetry and essays.

He wrote a thousand words, but he had no idea. This is a common problem for Confucian scholars who specialize in Confucianism at this time. Even though Gao Shi and Du Fu became poor families, their family background could allow them to learn real skills.

The reason why the Tang Dynasty was still a noble society at this time was that aristocratic families monopolized real knowledge. Those real elite children learned from an elementary school that manages and governs the affairs, such as arithmetic laws, regulations and classics and history. The so-called Confucianism is just a matter of slander.

Chen Guang breathed a sigh of relief. During these days, Du Fu forced him to study, he read "Shangshu", "Zhou Li" and "Spring and Autumn Annals", of course, mainly because he was not interested in "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius".

"Brother Gao, Brother Du, why not go outside the city to see how the winery is?"

"Great mercy, today's spring is just right, we should go out for spring!"

Chen Guang said to Du Fu and Gao Shi. Gao Shi was full of excitement. He could not drink any other wine since he drank Anxi Shaochun. Although Du Fu did not show any excitement, Chen Guang knew that the poet was also a drunkard and was just a little sulky.

Soon, the three of them packed their luggage. The winery that Gao Lishi chose was actually his manor outside Chang'an City. There were thousands of hectares of fertile land near the water, and several water mills that pounded rice and grind grains. It was also a good place that was hard to find in Chang'an City.

Chen Guang is now traveling, and there are no less than a hundred guards accompanying him. His men and the children of the four towns are all managed to be obeyed by Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun. The Han and the children of the four towns who have the generals finally have the posture of being strong.

At least in the past few days, when comparing with the fang soldiers under Gao Xianzhi, he was not at all inferior, which made Gao Xianzhi very envious of Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun. However, both of them were loyal and righteous people. No matter how Feng Changqing used all his skills, he could not make them change to Gao Xianzhi's disciples. Although Gao Xianzhi could also use strong ones, with Shen Guang around, he naturally could not do such a tasteless thing.

Outside Huaiyuanfang, looking at Feng Changqing who was following him, Chen Guang couldn't help but feel a little surprised, "Why didn't Brother Feng go to accompany the escort?"

"The Protector has his own place to go. I need to go and take a look at your winery in Chen Lang. You must know that there are members of our Anxi Army."

Feng Changqing turned over and joked that the reason why he did not follow Gao Xianzhi was mainly because Gao Xianzhi was invited by his old boss Meng Lingcha to the mansion to have a banquet these days. It was not interesting for him to go there. The guests who attended the banquet only looked at him with a few glances because of Gao Xianzhi's face, but his obscure eyes made him feel uncomfortable in private.

"Brother Feng, I heard that the husband, Meng Zhongcheng, seemed to intend to marry a daughter to the guardian, but I don't know if it is true or false?"

Chen Guang rode his horse to Feng Changqing and asked in a low voice. Fu Meng Lingcha was Gao Xianzhi's old master. This era attaches great importance to this former master-slave relationship, so after Gao Xianzhi arrived in Chang'an, he sent a gift to Fu Meng Lingcha's mansion. However, although the gift was accepted, he himself was turned away several times.

It was not until the saint gave him a banquet at Qinzheng Building after the Great Journey. When he saw Gao Xianzhi, he sat down at Wang Zhongsi. The husband Meng Lingcha sent his son to the Shi Mansion to personally send a letter and ask Gao Xianzhi to go to the mansion to have a banquet.

At that time, Chen Guang had already lived in Yang Guozhong's mansion, otherwise he would have been taken to the mansion of this old benefactor to show off by Gao Xianzhi.

However, Chen Guang knew that although Gao Xianzhi had some complaints about this old benefactor, he was treated like this by Hu Meng Lingcha so differently, and finally ran to give gifts. However, this time, the guest and the host were all happy, and jokes about Hu Meng Lingcha's wise eyes were spread among the people.

"Of course it's true. The husband, the chief of the Meng Zhongcheng, really intends to marry his daughter Yu Dupu, who is the authentic legitimate daughter. Even the dowry is ready."

"The legitimate daughter, didn't the legitimate daughter of Meng Zhongcheng have been married long ago?"

Chen Guang was stunned when he heard this. Meng Lingcha had three daughters, and the only one who had the eldest daughter was born. He got married more than ten years ago. This was what Feng Changqing told him.

"My husband will be able to remarry if he dies."

"It turned out to be a widow."

Chen Guang started to talk to himself that the widows of the Tang Dynasty could remarry, and their status was not low after remarrying. Of course, the premise was that they were the daughters of wealthy families. To put it bluntly, it depends on their identity background.

Gao Xianzhi's wife has been dead for many years and has never married her. According to reason, this marriage is a good match. Chen Guang knew even more that his boss didn't care about the perfect body, but was a more delicate and plump woman.

"Can it be that the guardian is unwilling to do so, this husband-meng lady has a salty appearance."

Seeing that Feng Changqing's face was strange, Chen Guang thought that Gao Xianzhi was deterred by this husband Meng's wife, and he was afraid that he would only have a look. After all, this boss is now the Great Protector of Anxi, so there is no need to be wronged to make a marriage for him.

"What nonsense? Madam Humeng was a famous beauty in Anxi back then. The Protector once knew Mu Shaoai, how could he not want to?"

"Is it possible that this lady Fu Meng is unwilling to do so?"

Chen Guang looked at Feng Changqing's desire to speak but stopped, but he guessed the truth.

"Although Mrs. Humeng became a widow, she was unwilling to remarry. Now, Humeng Zhongcheng is keen on this matter. You know the temperament of our steward..."

Feng Changqing sighed. This marriage seemed to him to be excellent. Fu Meng Lingcha had been a great gubernator in Anxi for many years. There were many old subordinates in the four towns. If the gubernator took Fu Meng's wife, the control of the four towns would definitely be higher. Moreover, the two families could also help each other in Anxi and the court. With the relationship between Chen Lang, it would be okay to lift Fu Meng Lingcha's status in the court.

Chen Guang instantly understood that although the status of women in the Tang Dynasty was not bad, how could they really decide on marriage? For example, this lady Humeng. If her Aye was strong, she would not have room for resistance. Now it must be Gao Xianzhi who was admiring the goddess she loved when she was young and was unwilling to do this.

Men, they are all teenagers until they die!

Chen Guang sighed in his heart, then looked at Feng Changqing beside him and said, "Brother Feng, tell the truth, did you let you come?"
