We had a family dinner at home at noon. After the meal, Shen Yi sobered up a little and left the house alone, leaving his father and Shen Ling at home to deal with the guests.
The Shen family has been in Jiangdu for at least more than a hundred years. Although Shen Yi's branch is not a direct descendant, over the years, I don't know how many close relatives there are and distant relatives.
With so many relatives and old neighbors, they must come to congratulate the Shen family.
With so many people coming to congratulate them, the Shen family must hold a banquet to entertain the guests. It would not be surprising if the wealthy Jiangdu family would hold a flowing banquet for three days.
Although the Shen family does not have the financial resources to host a banquet for three days, it is estimated that setting a table and entertaining guests for several days is unavoidable.
Even the two cousins from Shen Yi's second uncle's family and the eldest cousin from Uncle Shen Hui's family should come back to host this "celebration banquet" together.
A banquet to celebrate fame.
Shen Yi, on the other hand, was too lazy to deal with these things, so he sneaked out of the house secretly and handed these messy things to his father, Shen Zhang.
Shen Zhang is naturally happy with these "troublesome things". After all, what Shen Laosi wants to see most now is these relatives and friends, and he is happy to socialize with them.
After Shen Yi left home, he went to the "Ink Inkstone Studio" in Jiangducheng. In this store, he picked out a good brush for Mr. Lu, and a good inkstone for Mr. Qin, and packed the two items.
Afterwards, carrying these two things, he stopped a cart and walked all the way out of Jiangdu City to Ganquan Academy.
Shen Yi passed the Central Provincial Examination at the age of sixteen and was already a real celebrity in the academy. When he arrived at the gate of the academy, the middle-aged gatekeeper of the academy immediately lowered his head to Shen Yi and called "Master Shen."
Shen Yi shook his head helplessly and ignored the concierge. Instead, he first found Mr. Qin who was teaching in the academy. Because Mr. Qin was teaching, Shen Yi patiently sat on the stone bench outside and waited for a while.
After Mr. Qin finished class, Shen Yicai stepped forward and handed over the prepared inkstone, and bowed his hands to Mr. Qin respectfully: "Teacher."
This is the teacher he has bowed to and kowtowed to, that is, the so-called "professional teacher". He should be respected at all times.
Mr. Qin only saw Shen Yi after finishing the class. This middle-aged scholar who was over forty years old was overjoyed after seeing Shen Yi. He took Shen Yi to sit down under a pavilion, and then took Shen Yi's hand.
He held his hand and let out a long sigh: "In the blink of an eye, Qilang has been promoted, and he is much stronger than his teacher."
Mr. Qin was a student with meritorious status, also known as a scholar. He failed many examinations in other places, so he became disheartened and taught some children in Ganquan Academy.
Shen Yi smiled and said: "They are all taught well by the teacher. Without the teacher, how would the disciples be today?"
Mr. Qin looked at Shen Yi and shook his head slightly.
"You don't need to comfort me. When you were a teacher in the academy, you knew that it was Chief Lu who often corrected your policies and essays. It is mostly because of Chief Lu that you passed the exam."
The smile on Shen Yi's face froze.
When he was in the academy, Master Lu did teach him a lot, but after all, the master-disciple status was not confirmed, so this kind of thing was not made public. What Shen Yi didn't expect was that Mr. Qin knew about it early on.
.
When Mr. Qin said this, he looked around, then lowered his voice and whispered: "Qi Lang, Master Lu Shan is a great scholar from Jiangzuo. It is your blessing that he is willing to teach you. Now that you have won the exam, this
It is also an opportunity for you. After you meet the mountain leader, you will kowtow to him and become your disciple. Do you understand?"
The middle-aged scholar said with a serious face: "The mountain leader has connections in both the government and the opposition. If you become his student, your future will be stable."
Hearing Mr. Qin's words, Shen Yi was quite moved.
As a master, he is indeed a very good teacher. He is a very qualified teacher for himself, Chen Qing, and even Yan Mingli, who cheated in the county examination.
Shen Yi smiled at Mr. Qin and said, "What the teacher said,
All the disciples have memorized it."
"Um."
Mr. Qin nodded with a smile on his face: "Qilang, you are still too young this year. My teacher's advice is not to rush the Chunwei matter. Wait until four years later to take the Chunwei exam and strive for a second-class or even first-class honor."
, your career will be smooth in the future."
Regarding this suggestion, Shen Yi did not comment, but just smiled and said: "Sir, it is true, but it is not too late to decide on the matter of Chunwei. I will wait until I ask the mountain chief."
"Um."
Mr. Qin waved his hand and said, "Just go ahead. I guess the mountain chief also knows that you have arrived."
After Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, he stood up, raised his hands to Mr. Qin and said, "Teacher, I will come to see you after the disciple has paid a visit to the mountain leader."
Mr. Qin smiled and nodded: "Go, go."
Shen Yi took a deep breath, then took the brush he bought and walked to the door of Master Lu's study in a familiar manner. After taking a deep breath, he reached out and knocked on the door: "Master Lu, the student is back."
A moment later, Lu Anshizhong's mellow voice came from the study.
"Come in."
Shen Yi pushed the door open and walked in. He walked up to Master Lu, bowed respectfully to Lu Anshi, and said with a bow: "Student Shen Yi, meet the teacher."
Master Lu was writing something on the blank page at the moment. After hearing Shen Yi's words, he put down the brush in his hand, looked at Shen Yi, and then smiled: "No need to be polite, just sit down and talk.
"
Shen Yi then stood up, stepped forward with a smile, took out a wooden box from his sleeve, placed it on Master Lu's table, and said: "Teacher, this is the brush that the disciple picked for you, uu read www.uukanshu.com
You can see if it suits you. The store has told me that if it doesn't fit, I'll go get another one later."
Master Lu opened the wooden box, took out the brush, held it in his hand and examined it for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction: "It looks pretty good, but it cost you money again."
Lu Anshi rarely accepts gifts or things from others.
In other words, the people who can successfully give him gifts are all his own. Obviously, Shen Yi is now his own.
After accepting the pen, Lu Anshi looked up at Shen Yi and asked, "You came back in the morning?"
"yes."
Shen Yi looked respectful and said, "I arrived in Jiangdu in the morning. After having a meal with my family at home at noon, I came to see the teacher."
Master Lu nodded.
"You did very well in the exam this time, ranking seventh in the provincial exam..."
After being silent for a while, he continued: "To be honest, my teacher originally thought that if you can pass the college examination this year, you are already doing very well. Even if you succeed, your ranking will not be very high."
Shen Yi was not angry, and said with a smile: "That was indeed the case, but Uncle Zhao introduced an old gentleman to his disciples, his surname was Gu. Mr. Gu often taught his disciples, and..."
Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, then boldly said: "The remand failed the essay question in the provincial examination, so the disciple may have taken advantage of it."
"Mr. Gu..."
Lu Anshi sighed slightly: "Brother Changping told me about this. It is a pity that Mr. Gu is not able to become an official despite his vast knowledge."
He looked at Shen Yi and said with a dull smile: "Qi Lang rushed back to Jiangdu because he wants to go back to the academy to study for a few years before taking the exam?"
Shen Yi shook his head slightly, took two steps back, knelt down in front of Master Lu without saying a word, and kowtowed.
"The disciple came back to formally become a disciple of the teacher."
