After several treks, Xiao Chenyu finally arrived in Qiantang County. The dust was everywhere, but he couldn't hide the excitement on his face:
"The Holy Master's articles are spread all over the world, and his golden voice resonates. He is a teacher to all generations. I don't know if the Holy Master will accept me as his disciple."
Saint Master's Mansion!
The three big characters came into view, and Xiao Chenyu's whole body was filled with excitement. He felt as excited as a super fan to see a big star. His thick black hair was draped behind him, dancing in the wind, and his bright eyes were as bright as stars, staring straight at the Holy Master's Mansion.
In the courtyard, the edges on the face are like sharpening with a knife, looking tough and clear.
Boom, boom, boom!
He walked forward and knocked hard on the door of the Holy Master's Mansion. With a creaking sound, a young man in green opened the door, stretched out his head, looked at the gentle and elegant Xiao Chenyu in front of him, and asked:
"This young master, are you here to find my young master?"
Ever since Zhang Yutang became a Holy Master, many people have come to visit and study every day. Most of these people come here out of curiosity. They do not want to increase their knowledge, but simply want to see something.
Take a look and see if this so-called holy master has three heads and six arms.
After watching it, the enthusiasm subsides and you will leave.
Zhang Yutang was such a arrogant person at heart. He was looked upon like a monkey. After a long time, he became impatient and ordered the janitor Li to not let any unfamiliar young scholars into the house easily.
If a more persistent scholar really wants to come in and see him, he can evade it by saying that he is not in the house.
Looking at the young man in green clothes in front of him, Xiao Chenyu was overjoyed:
"This little brother, I am from Zhenjiang Prefecture. I have been studying and writing for many years, but I just can't get in. This time I came to Qiantang to become a disciple of the Holy Master. Please be accommodating to me."
As he spoke, he took out a banknote from his sleeve and handed it over:
"My brother and I hit it off at first sight. I wanted to invite him to the most famous restaurant in Qiantang for a glass of wine. But I couldn't go because I had something to do, so I asked him to be patient. When I have time, I will definitely accompany him.
Brother, please take a few sips."
The boy in Tsing Yi smiled happily and declined:
"How embarrassing is this? It's our first time meeting. How can I collect your things?"
Xiao Chenyu pretended to be angry, shook his head and said:
"Brother, what do you mean? My brother and I hit it off at first sight. The relationship is much stronger than that of many people who have been together for more than ten years. I sincerely want to invite you to drink, and I still want to have a drink with you."
If you want to refuse, does this mean you don't regard me, Xiao Chenyu, as a good friend?" The young man in Tsing Yi had never heard such shameless words of caring for a servant, and he was elated but also mixed with a little bit of shame:
"It's just that my Master Saint said that when he meets a young scholar, he always announces that he is not here and that he is just a janitor. There is really nothing he can do."
"This young man is an honest man." When Xiao Chenyu learned the inside story, he was awe-inspiring:
"Brother, even if I can't meet the Holy Master, I am satisfied that I can make friends with such a righteous little hero like this from Zhenjiang Mansion. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you.
, If the Holy Master is not at home today, then I will come every day. I have blocked the door for three years, but I still don’t believe that the Holy Master is not at home every day.”
Then he forced the banknote in his hand into the hand of the boy in Tsing Yi:
"With this small amount of money, I will treat my brothers to a drink. You don't have to worry about me. Go and do your own work. I will stand at the door of the Holy Master's Mansion and wait. If I can't wait today, I will wait there tomorrow. I
My heart must be seen by the Holy Master, and my sincerity must be felt by the Holy Master.”
"I have traveled thousands of miles and worked tirelessly to come here. I have only one purpose, which is to learn the civil and martial arts from the Holy Master."
The boy in Tsing Yi put away the banknote handed over by Xiao Chenyu with a face full of shame and whispered:
"The young master has been in the house these days and has never left the house. However, in the next few days, after finishing some matters at hand, it is said that he will go far away and travel with his sword."
Xiao Chenyu's eyes lit up, and there was a wonderful arc at the corner of his mouth, and he said in a low voice with an evil look:
"Thanks for letting me know, brother."
"Ashamed, ashamed." The young man in green clothes closed the door of the Saint Master's Mansion and let Xiao Chenyu stand at the door. He looked at the scholars, scholars, and merchants coming and going. Xiao Chenyu thought in his heart: "The most painful thing in the world is to have too many goals."
I am grand but don’t have the courage to start. Besides, life is just about smiling at others and being laughed at by others. What’s so great about it? Now that we have reached this place, I can’t go back in disgrace and let my parents do it.
My friends are just joking."
"Since I grew up, Xiao Chenyu, I have been running wildly on the road to greatness. I will definitely succeed this time."
"I'll stand and wait. If you don't see me, then I'll kneel down and wait. As the saying goes, when you meet the strong, you'll be strong, and when you're humble, you'll be base. When you meet such a holy master, you can only use more base methods to make him take the initiative to see me.
"
As soon as he gathered up his clothes and bowed down to a jade pillar, Xiao Chenyu looked directly at the Holy Master's Mansion with piercing eyes, straightened his waist, and knelt down with a plop:
"If I just kneel for such a day, I will probably pass out from exhaustion based on my small body. Seeing a handsome man like me pass out, even an animal will feel a little bit of mercy. I don't believe that the Holy Master is worse than a beast and has no mercy at all.
I don’t even have a heart.”
Looking through the crack in the door, looking at Xiao Chenyu kneeling in the dust, the boy in green clothes said to Manager Li next to him:
"Grandpa Li, look at the scholar outside. It is said that he is here to be a disciple of the young master. He wants to become a disciple of the young master. He is kneeling down. He is full of sincerity at first glance. Grandpa Li, do you want to persuade the young master to accept him?
"
Manager Li half-opened his dim eyes and said:
"Little Lizi, you, Grandpa Li, are dazzled by my eyes and not my mind. I can see the world clearly. It's better to put away your little thoughts. We servants must follow the rules of being servants. How can we tolerate you in the affairs of the master?"
Pointing fingers."
"Although the master is kind and cares for his servants, he cannot let his servants break the rules. Go to the steward yourself and receive three whips to make your memory memorable. Don't talk about the master's affairs again in the future."
The boy in Tsing Yi's face turned pale:
"Yes, Grandpa Li."
Walking quietly towards the house steward, Steward Li's voice came from behind:
"After receiving the three whips, remember to tell the young master that I think the young master outside is also a perseverant person. It is not an option to kneel down like this for a long time. If outsiders see it, they will think that our Holy Master Mansion is bullying others.
The locals are harsh."
The young man in green clothes was delighted when he heard this, stepped lightly, and responded in a low voice:
"Yes, Grandpa Li."
After walking a little faster and receiving three whips, he still went to find Zhang Yutang with great interest.
If you receive benefits from others, you have to do things for others, which is very professional ethics.
There are not many such people nowadays. Most of the people nowadays will not do things for you without benefits, and even if they get benefits, they may not help you with things.
In the inner room, a young man in green clothes bowed to Zhang Yutang.
"Young Master, someone wants to see you." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
