Chapter Thirteen: Poor or Rich (1)

Wei Wuji was born with a better life than others, and did not have to work hard for a living. Moreover, Wei was the most prosperous country among all the countries, so he naturally became a noble son raised by Wei.

Wei Wanglan also cherished the talents of his second son and felt that the second son had great talents. If he assisted his eldest son with his talents in the future, Wei Guo would surely be able to achieve glory again.

Therefore, when Wei Wuji expressed the hope that he could study abroad and increase his knowledge, he immediately agreed to the other party's request. Not only that, when Wei Wanglan saw that his second son was young, he was worried that the other party would not have a good time during the study tour, so he carefully prepared a lot of things for him.

Little money and silk guard.

Although Wei Wuji was young, he still knew a lot of things. He flatly rejected Wei Wanglan's arrangement and only brought two servants, one to protect him and the other to take care of his daily life and food.

Seeing his second son's insistence, Wei Wanglan had no choice but to agree.

The love between father and son is deep, but Wei Wushuang, the eldest son on the other side, knows it and secretly grits his teeth.

The family members in the prince's house also understand the worries of the master's family. If Wei Wuji passes away from the prince, where will Wei Wushuang go in the future, and where should they, as family members, go.

Wei Wuji and Shi Ren gathered together and decided to wait until he returned from his study tour before deciding what to do.

There are reasons for such considerations. Wei Wuji is young now. Among the countries, even the poor and weak Qin State will not take action against him. In doing so, King Wei will only lose a growing second son, which will not be of much use to them.

, and will also teach Wei Wanglan to be suspicious and unworthy.

The father and son, who didn't know what was going on, parted reluctantly. Wei Wuji even couldn't bear to part with his brother Wushuang. They also had a good time saying goodbye. Fortunately, Wei Wushuang was always good at showing off.

Father, son, and brothers chatted from morning to sunset. Wei Wuji had not even left Daliang City. Wei Wanglan had a thought and wanted to persuade his second son to stay one more night and set out on the road tomorrow.

Wei Wuji said that there would be many tomorrows, so he took advantage of the sunset to fill the sky with two servants and a carriage, and gradually merged into the sunset, as if flying together with the solitary swans.

I also officially embarked on the road of study tour.

After leaving Daliang of Wei State, seeing the sky high and the sea vast below, Wei Wuji didn't know where to go for a while. After thinking for a long time, he decided to go to Linzi, Qi Di first. This place has always been a place that scholars all over the world yearn for.

Since we are on a study tour, why not get to know everyone in the world first, and maybe ask someone to be our teacher.

With this idea in mind, Wei Wuji said to the driver of the car, "Uncle Zhou, divert to Linzi, Qi State."

Uncle Zhou, who was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, responded obediently, and the carriage moved in the right direction for the first time.

...

When he first arrived in Qi, Wei Wuji felt a strange custom that was different from the Wei state. Wei people liked luxury and good things, while Qi people liked literature and art. Wei Wuji, who was teaching travel, felt like he was returning home in a dream.

An endless stream of scholars came here because of the reputation. The clothes, conversation, diet, etc. were very different from those in Qi. It was a great eye-opener for Wei Wuji. Studying abroad was not just about learning. Wei Wuji believed that he should also understand the local customs.

Wei Wuji was born into a wealthy family, and the prosperity of Qidi did not fascinate Wei Wuji. After finding a place to stay, he went out with two followers every day and recorded what he saw and heard in the place in a volume.

The blank bamboo slips left during the trip began to be filled in at this time.

There is another major event, that is, the Jixia Academy in Linzi is about to open a debate school. This is a grand event that is praised by all countries, and Wei Wuji must go to see it no matter what.

It would be best to record the grand event of debate, and also know the thoughts of scholars from various countries. It may be beneficial to the country in the future, but it is not certain. At this time, Wei Wuji did not know that everything he did now would have nothing to do with Wei.

Under the great expectations, Jixia Academy held another open debate. After staying in Qi for many days, Wei Wuji finally got a chance to meet him. Wei Wuji could not be more excited.

He left in a hurry, but the content of the debate was like a fog. Seeing the fierceness on the stage, Wei Wuji couldn't answer even half of the question, and his interest was somewhat lost.

The young man with his head hanging down saw people on the left and right who looked very excited and angry. He couldn't help but reflect: Why do everyone else understand, but I only know a little about it, half understanding but not understanding.

When he met the bachelor next to him and paid homage to the elder, his eyes became brighter. That was it.

With a plan in mind, Wei Wuji did not give up. Instead, he carefully recorded the content of the debate one by one and organized it for future reading. This can be seen in the young man's thoughts.

Since the Jixia Academy left, Wei Wuji no longer focused on the characters in front of him, but began to look around. The young man's thoughts at this time were also very simple. He was thinking about it on his own, so it would be better to find a famous teacher to enlighten him.

, wouldn’t it be wonderful?

Once people have ideas, they will have motivation to do things.

After several open and covert investigations, it was discovered that there were many scholars and many wise masters in Qi. Wei Wuji wanted to choose a wise master and return to his country to serve his country upon completion of his studies.

When I meet people, I feel like I'm missing something.

If it was just a hint of knowledge, why would Wei Wuji have to travel thousands of miles to find it? But on a deeper level, people are either taboo about Wei's identity, or they are unwilling to spend money.

Seeing that the road to becoming a famous teacher was not feasible, the young boy chose to secretly visit the hermit. He sent his servants to take out a map and listed the places where hermits had always been in various countries, one by one, and decided to search according to the locations above.

A passionate desire to study prompted Wei Wuji to overcome all difficulties and dangers and embark on the road of study.

Any hermit first has the word "hidden", and then has the word "shi". Since he is a hermit, he has thoughts that the world cannot find. Those who are exceptions will also leave many puzzles waiting for the world to answer before they can find out.

At first sight.

If the person who comes to visit is not in line with the hermit's wishes, he will not have much conversation with him.

There is another kind of person who is completely unwilling to pay attention to the world. With his talents and learning, he hides in the mountains and forests, or in the markets, so that the world cannot find him.

This incident also made it difficult for Wei Wuji to find someone. The little boy frowned and frowned. He lowered his eyes and thought, this time he should look for a teacher from everyone. In recent years, hundreds of schools of thought have been clamoring to find a magic teacher.

Only then can you show your head and feet in this world.

Compared with hermits, it seems that a wise teacher is easy to find, but a stranger who can be a teacher is more difficult to find than the previous two. Wei Wuji undoubtedly found a difficult path for himself.

However, what young people lack most is vitality. If there is a source of water, living water will come naturally. Except for those things that wait for heaven and earth, all difficult things in the world are impossible. It depends on whether you have worked hard sincerely.

The more difficult the task, the more it aroused the unyielding heart of the young man. After several changes in his mind, he finally decided on the final way forward. Wei Wuji tapped his white and tender index finger on the map, opened the curtain in front of the carriage, and looked at it again.

Uncle Zhou, who was driving the car, gave the order.

The carriage turned in another direction again.

Little did he know that at almost the same moment, a young man in another place was doing the same thing.
