It is now late autumn, and with the continuous autumn rain, the coldness at night has become heavier, and there are faint signs of winter.

Xu Jin came to Fei Hong's study. There was a small red clay stove on the coffee table, and he was warming a pot of Shaoxing rice wine, which was warm and cozy.

Beside the coffee table, Fei Hong was dressed in casual home clothes, with a big face and big ears, elegant yet majestic temperament, and a warm smile on his face.

Xu Jin took a few steps forward, bowed deeply to Fei Hong, and said respectfully: "Students pay homage to Master Fei and pay his respects to Master Fei."

Fei Hong was the first famous teacher Xu Jin met when he came to the Ming Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was his mentor. Fei Hong played the most critical role in Xu Jin's ability to pass three levels in the boy test.

Therefore, Xu Jin respected Fei Hong from the bottom of his heart. Master Fei was a truly knowledgeable elder.

Fei Hong looked at the proud disciple in front of him with joy, smiled and said: "Ziqian, sit down!"

Last year, we met by chance on the bank of the Xinjiang River. Fei Hong played three pairs to test Xu Jin, and Xu Jin quickly picked up. At that time, Fei Hong only had some admiration for Xu Jin, a country boy. Later, after chatting with Xu Jin,

Only then did the idea of ​​cultivation come into being.

In the past year, Fei Hong carefully taught Xu Jin and put in a lot of effort. Xu Jin did not let him down. The boy tried three consecutive cases and won three cases, so Fei Hong was relieved and a little proud.

Fei Hong himself is a child prodigy, having won three consecutive gold medals in high school and university, and at the age of twenty, he has become the youngest number one scholar in the country. Now his disciple Xu Jin has won three consecutive gold medals in junior and middle schools, which is enough to become a legend in the scholarly world. If Xu Jin succeeds

It will be even more incredible if we continue to make rapid progress in the next two years.

Fei Hong is also extremely confident. Under his own guidance, coupled with Xu Jin's understanding, he will definitely be able to pass next year's provincial examination and the year after that, and become the youngest Jinshi in the dynasty. As for whether he can win the third grade

Yuan, Fei Hong didn't dare to hope for it. After all, such good things are rare but rare. It is extremely rare for Xu Jin to pick up the small three yuan. What's more, when the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses. If it is too perfect, it is not a good thing.

The maid Hongying took off Xu Jin's coat. The room was warm and the stove was burning, so there was no need to wear such thick clothes.

Xu Jin thanked him and sat down on the chair opposite Fei Hong. Hongying poured a glass of wine for each of the master and apprentice, then quietly left and closed the door to the study.

The autumn rain fell outside the window, and the night was quiet and peaceful. The master and the apprentice were drinking rice wine and chatting. Fei Hong asked about the experience of taking the exam in Nanchang, and occasionally asked Xu Jin. The atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant.

Xu Jin had absolute trust in Fei Hong, so he told everything about what happened in Nanchang. Of course, he did not mention the half of Concubine Lou's "Death Poem".

After hearing this, Fei Hong looked solemn and said: "The traitor Prince Ning actually made a jade seal privately. It seems that he really has the intention to rebel."

Xu Jin nodded and said: "Prince Ning harbored thieves and secretly made jade seals. His rebellious intentions have been revealed. Now Governor Sun is planning to secretly send this jade seal to the capital. If successful, Prince Ning will not sit still and wait for death, but will immediately launch an army.

The possibility of rebellion is very high, Master Fei should make plans early to be prepared!"

"Zi Qian is very worried!" Fei Hong nodded solemnly.

The Fei family and Prince Ning's palace are at loggerheads. In addition, Fei Hong's status as a former cabinet minister is very appealing. Once Prince Ning rebels, he will never let the Fei family go. There is a high possibility that he will send troops to kill Fei Hong immediately.

.

Fei Hong pondered for a moment and asked, "Zi Qian, do you know why Prince Ning ordered you to serve as the crown prince's companion?"

Xu Jin shook his head: "The student didn't know why. Fortunately, Mr. Sun came to protect him at that time and quickly left Nanchang City to escape. Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable!"

Fei Hong thought for a moment and felt that King Ning might think that Xu Jin was a talent worth winning over, so he called him to accompany the crown prince and reminded him: "King Ning is headstrong, violent and vengeful. You resisted him."

Lingzhi's escape from Nanchang City has damaged Prince Ning's face, and given his character, I'm afraid he won't let it go."

Xu Jin frowned. He was indeed a little worried about this. Prince Ning was now so powerful that he dominated the territory of Jiangxi. If he really wanted to use violence against him, he really had no choice.

Fei Hong said: "Ziqian, how about this? You will stay here temporarily before the Chinese New Year. I will send someone to pay attention to the situation in Shangrao County. If there is nothing abnormal, you can go back to Shangrao. I will have someone say hello to you at Xinjiang Academy!"

"

Xu Jin hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "It's all up to Master Fei's arrangement!"

As the saying goes, be careful and sail the ship for ten thousand years. Xu Jin does not want to be caught in the prison of Prince Ning's mansion like last time, and the day of Prince Ning's rebellion is getting closer and closer. As long as he escapes this disaster, he will be arrested when Prince Ning's rebellion fails.

If you capture him, you will be completely safe by then.

Fei Hong smiled and said: "Then Zi Qian can live here with peace of mind. It just so happens that I can supervise your homework as a teacher!"

Xu Jin felt warm in his heart and said gratefully: "Master Fei's kindness in nurturing me will be unforgettable to the students!"

Fei Hong smiled softly: "Maoxian and Maozhong have already transferred back to Ehu Academy to study. I will fix the letter and give it to the principal of the academy so that you can temporarily sit in at Ehu Academy. Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.

Don’t slack off even a little bit.”

The heritage of an aristocratic family is not only determined by its wealth and property, but also by its connections and influence.

For example, Fei Hong, although he is idle at home and has no real power in his hands, his connections are still there and his influence cannot be underestimated. Provincial officials such as Sun Sui and Wang Shouren have to pay a visit when they pass by, let alone those small places.

Now that he is an official, Fei Hong wants to arrange for someone to study in an academy. He can easily do it with just a letter. This kind of ability is not something that the Fang family can possess.

Xu Jin respectfully said: "Students please obey Master Fei's teachings!"

Fei Hong nodded: "It's late at night. You should go and have some rest. There's no need to rush into school. I'll let Maoxian Maozhong take you around in the past few days. There are still many things worth visiting in Qianshan County."

.As the saying goes, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Traveling can increase your knowledge and broaden your horizons."

"I'm afraid the students have been to a hundred times more places than you!" Xu Jin thought to himself, but he still replied respectfully: "Okay!"

Fei Hong smiled and said: "By the way, the Double Ninth Festival Tea Market will be held in a few days. Ziqian can go shopping and appreciate the tea ceremony culture of Qianshan County."

Qianshan County is the hometown of tea and has a rich tea culture, which Fei Hong is quite proud of.

Xu Jin nodded and said: "Then students must go shopping!"

Fei Hong hummed slightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, which was a sign of farewell. Xu Jin stood up and said goodbye knowingly.

The maid Hongying who was waiting outside heard the commotion and opened the door and walked in. She took the coat and carefully put it on for Xu Jin.

It is said that at the beginning of the year, Xu Jin's height was only as high as Hongying's nose, but now he is as tall as her. His lips are redder, his teeth are whiter, and he is plump and handsome. Hongying was sprayed on the face by Xu Jin's breath, and in panic, she buttoned the wrong button.

After unbuttoning twice, I couldn't help but blush and feel hot.

"Sister Hongying, I'll do it myself!" Xu Jin buttoned the clothes by himself.
Chapter completed!
