That night, Du Shiyi gave up the dormitory to the Wang brothers, and he was sleeping alone in the study room on the east side of Danran Building. Although it was a house for Fatty Cui, the bookshelf on all sides were neatly packed. He took advantage of the two volumes before going to bed, and he felt itchy and had to copy books at night. Finally, he endured it and then went back to bed to sleep.

Sometimes I think about Yang Zongwan and a few stoneworkers who came with him this time, as well as the heavy boxes of Duanxi stones. Sometimes I think I will go back to the former residence of Fanchuan and Duqu in the old place. He was supposed to be tired of traveling and couldn't fall asleep. What made him unable to sleep at the moment was the sound of the Wang brothers in the western dormitory that he thought he was asleep and chatting softly.

"Brother, we are back to Chang'an this time. Where are you going to live? I heard that there are many prostitutes in the northern part of Pingkangfang and many scholars. If you have good poems and essays, they will be widely sang. It is better..."

"That kind of place of elegance, to put it nicely, to put it nicely, to put it nicely, to put it badly, to put it nicely, to be fond of fame. Besides, your brother is not the time to come to Chang'an for fame, so why go to that place to become famous?"

"But... when my brother comes back this time, the kings should always post a message to visit..."

"Shiwulang, this capital city has delivered ink scrolls everywhere every year, hoping to win the favor of many scholars. Do you know why there are few people who are valued by others? In addition to real talent and knowledge, character is also indispensable. Even if I just rent a humble house, as long as I shine in one or two literary clubs, there will naturally be someone to make a name for themselves. It is said that Wang Shisanlang has returned, and several kings will send a post to invite him. Don't worry about gains and losses because Du Shijiulang is going to be answered for the Jingzhao Mansion this year. He met me by chance but fell as before. I respect his character, and he respects my Zen heart. Who wins and who loses, but he will see the difference after the trial!"

Wang Wei is back this time, and it is indeed due to the Jingzhao Mansion’s trial this year!

Du Shiyi knew that Wang Wei was not from Jingzhao Prefecture, so this exam must be a mailbox. This is not surprising nowadays. Jingzhao Prefecture and Tonghua Prefecture have always been the most prosperous place in the imperial examinations and Wenhua, and are also a place where all the world is sought after. Not only are there many people in the township tribute Jinshi, but if they get the top ten in Jingzhao Prefecture, the possibility of finally getting the title is far higher than those in the township tribute Jinshi who came from remote areas.

Even if it is not easy to live in the capital, I don’t know how many people are looking for advancement here day after day after year. Like Wang Wei, he traveled to the two capitals three years ago and had a high reputation for his first place, but he continued to take the exam this year. Naturally, it was impossible for him to just go to Jingzhao Mansion and get the first place. No wonder Wang Jin had such concerns!

Just the words of respect, he couldn't help but smile knowingly, yawned and closed his eyes, and no longer listened to other brothers' whispers. Gradually, he fell asleep. He seemed to have not even had a dream for the whole night. When he opened his eyes, it was already bright outside.

After washing up, Du Shiyi and the Wang brothers spent breakfast together, and Wang Rongting came over again. When talking about his father Wang Qinglan, Wang Rongting said with apologetically that his father had gone to court early in the morning and would probably not be able to come back in the afternoon. Before leaving, he asked him to apologize and asked the servants behind him to send three rectangular wooden boxes, saying that it was a gift from his father to the three. Du Shiyi and the other two said humbly, but they finally accepted it, but they all said goodbye. When they called Du Shisanniang again and went to Zheng's bedroom to say goodbye, Zheng gave Du Shisanniang a silver mud cape, laughing and saying that it was the style that was popular in the capital this year.

After receiving other people's gifts, both Du Shiyi and Wang's brothers naturally prepared a return gift. The Wang's brothers were a box of paper made by Bingxinfang in Luoyang, while Du Shiyi was a ruler screen embroidered by Du Shisanniang, and a volume of the "Heart Sutra of Prajna Taramida" translated by Master Xuanzang, who he copied by himself. When he was in Luoyang, he knew that there were many nobles, scholars and noble ladies who believed in Buddhism in the two capitals. He had previously written Buddhist scriptures and practiced calligraphy, and he did not know how many Buddhist scriptures he copied. Yesterday, he learned from Wang Rongting that Zheng believed in Buddhism and had just given such a return gift, which naturally made Zheng very happy.

When Du Shiyi said goodbye to the Cui sisters and sisters again, and when Fatty Cui said something extremely insincere, he took Du Shisanniang and the Wang brothers out of the inner house together. The two groups of followers in front of the door had already been prepared, Wang Wei and Wang Jin were just two children and servants, and there were three or four servants. Du Shiyi found that next to the ox cart that was obtained from Cui Weizhi, beside Tian Mo and a few stoneworkers, there were also Liu Mo and other Cui family members. Before he could ask, Liu Mo, who was more familiar with him, stepped forward to salute deeply.

"Du Langjun, the wife, the fifth lady and the eleventh lady have all given instructions before that when Du Langjun returns to Chang'an, we will ask us to accompany us. Now Du Langjun is going to take the Thirteenth lady back to Duqu to visit in Fanchuan, so we should naturally follow us."

Du Shiyi then realized that the people sent by Cui Wei to Fatty Cui were all staying in the Wang House. These were all servants who followed him out of the city to pursue people. Although the Cui family completely treated him as his own kindness, he felt a little numb, but thinking that there was no one around him now, he no longer politely and said with a smile.

After saying goodbye to Wang Rongting who was sent out again, he first sent Du Shisanniang and Zhu Ying to the ox cart together, and then got on the horse by himself. Two groups of people from one after another came out of the north gate of Guangdefang. Wang Wei stopped and waited for Du Shiyi to come forward, and said with a smile: "Du Shijiulang, let's go to Du Qu today. When you settle down, I will definitely visit friends in Fanchuan. I think that at that time, no one will not know where you live!"

"Brother Wang is this to inspire me to become famous after returning home?" Du Shiyi laughed and immediately hugged her hands and nodded to Wang Wei, "When the home is packed, please ask Brother Wang and Wang Shiwulang to have a small gathering together! Goodbye today, see you the next day!"

Seeing Du Shiyi smiling and making an invitation, Wang Jin nodded and replied: "Du Shijiulang, there will be a date in the future!"

Two groups of people said goodbye. Du Shiyi and his party went south to the city, while Wang Wei brothers headed north. Sitting in the spacious ox cart, the car was stable. Du Shisanniang couldn't help but look at the long wooden box given to her by the Lord of the Wang family. After looking up for a while, Zhu Ying smiled and said, "If you really want to know what Lord of the Lord of the Wang family gave me, why not open it? Since the Lord of the Wang family has handed it to her, it is naturally okay."

After hearing this, Du Shisanniang couldn't help but be curious. She carefully pulled the lid away and opened it. There was a bamboo tube pen lying in the box. The pen of the bamboo pen was faintly purple. She touched it gently with her hands, only to feel that its hair was short and hard. When she saw the word Xuan on the bamboo tube, she immediately murmured softly: "It was the purple rabbit hair in Xuancheng... The Lord of the Wang family made such a move! Fortunately, I also embroidered something when I was in Luoyang, and my brother also prepared a gift for me, otherwise I would be ugly!"

After leaving Anyuan Gate of Chang'an City, he walked along the thoroughfare to the south, and a group of cars turned on a path with green trees on both sides. As those familiar scenes came into view, Du Shiyi felt that some memories that had been buried for many years were gradually reviving, and he was a little confused for a moment. When he suddenly became another person and came to this strange era, although he quickly accepted Du Shisanniang, he had always resisted to step onto the old place of Fanchuan. But now this time, those scenes are not only impact, but also a familiar sense of intimacy, which made his tense nerves gradually relax.

The origin of the Du family in Jingzhao was because Emperor Xuan of Han moved high officials and wealthy people to enrich Duling, and Du Yannian, the Marquis of Jianping, moved there for 2,000 stones. Although many descendants moved to other places, most of them still regarded Duling as the county. Today, Duling has long been in decline, but Fanchuan, where the Du family lives in groups, is still thriving.

Du Qu is divided into Du Du in the south, Du Gu in the south, and Du Gu in the south, leaning against Shenheyuan in the south, Du Qu in the north, on the north bank of the Bingshui River, leaning against Shaoling in the north. Du Du in the south, across the river, and both are home to Du. It is said that he has been dressed in the past generations, whether it is the Southern Du or the Northern Du, there are many households in the clothes. Even children in the fields are often able to sing and good at poetry, with an elegant atmosphere. Although the scenery of the mountains and fields is extremely outstanding, in addition to the Du family that has lived here for generations, many officials in the court have built villas again, but it is no exaggeration to see that nine of the ten surnames Du Du is not an exaggeration. The ancestral home of Du Shiyi and Du Shisanniang was in the North Du.

After three years of separation, even Du Shisanniang couldn't help but raise the curtains and greedily looked at the scenery of her hometown. When the carriage and horses passed by a family, she was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Stop, stop!"

"Thirteen Niang?"

Du Shiyi turned around and screamed, but saw that the car door was suddenly pushed open. Then, Du Shisanniang actually jumped out of the tall ox cart with her skirt. Before Zhuying, who was following behind, went up to support her, she had already reached the front of the wood door and knocked hard a few times, and then shouted loudly: "Big mother, big mother!"

With this sound, there was a movement in the house. A middle-aged woman in coarse cloth clothes came out of the room while wiping her hands. When she saw Du Shisanniang, she seemed to be suddenly stunned. She then showed a surprised and joyful smile. She rushed to Chaidong in a panic and opened Chaidong. Then she hugged Du Shisanniang's arms tightly and said, "Little lady, she is really a little lady! But she finally came back. There were rumors in recent years, and I thought... she thought..."

She was so excited that she even trembled with her voice. When her eyes fell on Du Shiyi on the horse, her voice suddenly broke. She passed Du Shisanniang and stumbled to Du Shiyi. Then she reached out to cover her mouth and nose, and she couldn't even say a word. Seeing this scene, Du Shiyi quickly turned over and got off the horse, but saw the woman suddenly hugging him, and she cried bitterly. For a moment, other pedestrians who occasionally passed by on the road looked sideways.
