Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang actually rushed from Shaoxing to Ningbo to join him. This was something Xu Yan could never have imagined!

No matter what, Xu Yan was so excited after seeing the famous post!

Who is Xu Wei? He is known as the "Three Talents of the Ming Dynasty" and the founder of the "Qingteng School of Painting". He is a versatile literati who is good at playing cursive scripts, can play the piano, is familiar with music, and loves opera. In popular words in later generations, hexagonal all-round warriors.

Of course, Xu Wei left the deepest impression on the world as Hu Zongxian's aide and helped him capture Xu Hai, Wang Zhi and other major pirates.

After the initial excitement, Xu Yan soon calmed down. At this moment, Xu Wei should be the difficult time when his family was in ruins, failed the test and his wife died.

In terms of age, Xu Wei is only about ten years older than Xu Yan. His future is so bleak that he must be desperate.

This is really a great opportunity given to God!

Xu Yan has decided to take Xu Wei in. Whether it is for your own benefit or recommend it to Zhu Wan in the future.

But he said that he had changed into a lake blue Taoist robe, put on a squid head, and then walked to the flower hall.

Before coming to the flower hall, Xu Yan put on the stack of sleeves again, and then he stepped in with confidence.

At this moment, Xu Wei was already waiting in the flower hall. When he saw Xu Yan coming, he hurried forward and bowed.

"Xu Wei pays homage to the young master."

Xu Yan hurriedly helped Xu Wei up and said with a laugh: "Brother Wen is so polite."

He carefully observed and found that Xu Wei wore a square flat scarf and a silhouette made of jade cloth and silk, with wide-sleeved soap edges and soap-polyester scarf hanging belts.

The silhouette is the standard outfit for students, but this silhouette is probably washed too often and has become a little white. Xu Yan also noticed that a patch was sewn on Xu Wei's right shoulder. Although it was made of similar colors of fabric, you can still tell it by looking carefully.

Xu Wei has a face with a Chinese character, beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a mustache with a squid and a beard with a jaw.

However, he was obviously malnourished, with a color on his face and his eyes were a little red due to congestion, and he looked very haggard.

This is really miserable.

"Please sit quickly."

Xu Yan pulled Xu Wei down and sat down. Seeing that Xu Wei was a little restrained, he took the lead in breaking the ice and said, "Brother Wen is a friend of Brother Lu Qing, and he is also my Xu Yan's friend. Brother Wen should call me Yishi."

Unexpectedly, Xu Wei shook his head: "The courtesy cannot be abolished. Since Xu is here to join the young master, he should keep the courtesy."

Xu Yan didn't expect him to be so stubborn, so he had to follow his words for the time being: "Since you are here, stay there with peace of mind. I will ask someone to clean up a house for Brother Wen immediately. If Brother Wen feels it is inconvenient, I will buy a house outside the mansion and give it to Brother Wen."

Xu Yan's attitude was so enthusiastic that it was beyond Xu Wei's expectations.

He bowed his hands and sighed, "What kind of virtue is Xu? He has received such great kindness from the young master."

Xu Yan thought to himself that you are too modest. You are simply a treasure pot, and you have many wisdoms. With you, you still worry about the chaos in the southeast and the troubles of the Japanese. You are simply a gift from God.

But he didn't show any expression on his face.

"Brother Wen, Xu is the most loyal person. Since he is a friend of Brother Lu Qing, I will definitely take care of him."

"Thank you, young master!"

Xu Wei was so moved that he was about to cry.

Although he was famous for his talent, he could not afford to hire a book boy to hold a tin-faced umbrella, nor could he sit on the carriage that was raised by the two of them.

It can be said that apart from this silly shirt, the demeanor of the student has been lost by him.

In this situation, Xu Yan made him feel respect again, which he could never feel in his hometown Shaoxing.

"I heard that the young master took the county exam and the head of the government exam was really gratifying."

Xu Wei thought to himself that he always had to say something good when he met his new owner, and thought for a moment and said so.

Xu Yan laughed in a harmonious voice: "I'll be better off."

Seeing Xu Yan being humble, Xu Wei shook his head and said, "If only luck can we make a famous saying such as 'There are talents in the world and talents who have emerged for hundreds of years'? It's true that Xu is the talented and famous person who admires the young master to join us."

Xu Yan was sweating secretly, thinking that this was the reason.

So the question is, should he consider removing Xu Wei's poems when he writes poems in the future and leaving some soup for this great talent in the Ming Dynasty? Otherwise, if Xu Wei can't write a poem by then, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Of course, this thought just flashed through.

"Xu heard that the young master studied under the great scholar Mr. Xushan, no wonder he has such talent."

Xu Yan thought to myself that I had only studied with Mr. Qian for a month, but I just learned some basics.

"Ahem, Brother Wen, my master has always told me to be low-key, and I would like to ask Brother Wen not to praise me anymore."

Xu Wei suddenly felt admiration: "I didn't expect that the young master had such knowledge at a young age. Mr. Xushan did not read the wrong person. Xu... Xu wanted to serve the young master immediately."

Xu Yan: "..."

After a moment of silence, Xu Yan cleared his throat and said, "Brother Wen has been exhausted all the way, so let's stay and rest for a few days. After Brother Wen has rested, can we talk about what to do?"

Seeing Xu Yan say this, Xu Wei naturally nodded tactfully.

"In this way, I won't bother the young master, Xu will leave."

Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and called Shuangxi and asked him to take Xu Wei to settle down first.

To be honest, Xu Yan really didn't think of where to arrange Xu Wei.

Although the Xu family has a great family, they basically use old people who have worked hard with their father for many years everywhere.

Xu Yan couldn't get involved in the silk shop and rice shop, and the housekeeper also took care of the matters in the mansion.

After thinking about it, what Xu Yan could do was to decide the newly opened bookstore "Miaofengtang".

After thinking about it carefully, he really needs someone who can trust to run the bookstore business for him.

After all, Xu Yan wants to go to the imperial examination and must be hidden behind the scenes and cannot personally inquire about business.

As for Xu Wei, Xu Yan didn't cheat him. After all, this talented man never won the imperial examination in history.

All I can say is fate.

As for Xu Wei's character, he naturally has no choice.

After becoming Hu Zongxian's aide in history, Xu Wei was diligent and made suggestions to help Hu Zongxian make great achievements.

Many of Hu Zongxian’s memorials were even drafted by Xu Wei.

Later, Yan Song fell, Hu Zongxian was dismissed from office and was imprisoned, and died in prison.

Xu Wei was deeply saddened and wrote the "Epitaph for Self-Being" in anger, hoping to commit suicide and buried Hu Zongxian for burial. He was simply rescued.

Now, when Xu Wei defected to Xu Yan, he was even more miserable than when he defected to Hu Zongxian in history.

Xu Yan took him in without hesitation and treated him with the courtesy of a national scholar.

How could Xu Wei not be grateful for such a timely help?

There is a Taoist saying that a scholar died for his confidant, and Xu Wei is such a person.

Xu Yan is sure that Xu Wenchang will definitely be loyal to him.
