She was openly bullying others, but it was a pity that Tang Weishan really didn't dare to do anything to her, so in the end he could only angrily agree.
Tang Shiyue said to the others: "Please bear witness to me! Okay! Let them go!"
The women then got out of the way, and Tang Weishan walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
Tang Shiyue thanked everyone and turned back with a smile.
At this time, Tang Shirong and Tang Junchen still couldn't calm down their feelings of worshiping the master. Tang Junchen in particular was so happy that he couldn't bear to see it. He was also ashamed of his poor knowledge and was afraid of losing Xu Siyuan's reputation, so he couldn't stop nagging.
Instead, Xu Wenqu smiled and asked, "What do you mean?"
Tang Shiyue smiled and said: "Bringing hatred!" She straightened her face and said seriously: "Kill someone with a borrowed knife!"
She just wanted to embarrass Tang Weishan.
What happened back then was definitely related to Tang Shijin and Tang Yongming. He didn't dare to do anything to them, so couldn't he deal with Tang Shijin? So he was angry here and would definitely take revenge on them.
As for betting and so on, that's just incidental, just dig holes casually.
Xu Wenqu smiled and said, "How do you know that Rong'er will win?"
"Of course you can," Tang Shiyue said, "You are Xu Siyuan!"
Xu Wenqu: "..."
He laughed and shook his head, stood up and knocked Tang Shirong lightly: "Rong'er, did you hear that? If you can't win, how can you have the face to see your little sister?"
Tang Shirong smiled: "Students will definitely give their best."
Now that I have mentioned accepting a disciple, it is completely different from asking for advice in ordinary times. I have to formally kowtow and become a disciple.
It is said that nowadays there are six rites for apprenticeship, which include celery, lotus seeds, red beans, dates, longan, and dried lean meat strips.
These "six etiquettes" actually all have their own values. Celery means "diligence, studiousness, and diligence"; lotus seeds mean "hard work in education"; red beans mean "good luck and good fortune"; dates mean "early high school".
, longan means "complete merits and virtues", and dried lean meat strips are used to express the disciple's thoughts.
When Tang Shiyue went to the town to buy, she immediately bought four copies.
When she followed the mule cart back, she stopped next door and stood there looking for Qi Jing.
She never knew how he saw her, but after she stood there for a while, he came over, took off the hat on his head, and said, "Looking for me?"
"Yes," Tang Shiyue pulled him aside: "Ajing, my brother said that there are many benefits to becoming a disciple! Do you think we should ask Ayang to become a disciple together? I have prepared the ceremony together!"
Her eyes were bright and full of "If you don't worship me, I won't worship you in vain!"
Qi Jing raised his eyebrows.
Once a teacher, always a father. If Xu Wenqu accepted Tang Shirong as his disciple, he would be one generation older than Tang Shiyue and the others. In the same way, the same would be true if he accepted Tang Shirong as his disciple.
Qi Jing thought for a while: "I'm afraid he won't accept it."
"No way?" Tang Shiyue said: "I think Ayang is very powerful!"
The power in her eyes... Qi Xiaolang smiled a little: "You can try it. If it doesn't work, forget it."
So the two of them returned to the stone house. Tang Shiyue called Little Qiyang over and spoke in detail in his ear. Little Qiyang has always been a little adult. He made the matter clear and there was no need to enlighten him, so he nodded:
"Um."
So when Tang Shirong and Tang Junchen passed by, they were followed by two little ones with serious faces.
Xu Wenqu asked with a smile: "What are you doing?"
Tang Shiyue smiled and said: "Buy two, get two free!"
Xu Wenqu raised his eyebrows, and Tang Shiyue said with a serious face: "As the saying goes, when the master brings you in, cultivation depends on the individual. When you accept a disciple, you don't promise to teach him something, so I accept a few more disciples."
, it’s really a very cost-effective thing!”
She pointed her hand at them one by one: "You see, some people are responsible for the good people out of the blue, and some people are responsible for... the people are in a happy mood during the process of the good people out of the blue. Some people are responsible for motivating them, just like the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and some people are responsible for comforting them, just to compare with the inferior Yao.
The kind that has more than enough..."
In fact, Qi Yang is not bad, even Xiao Yao'er is included, it is indeed very whimsical.
Tang Junchen burst out laughing after hearing this, completely unaware that he was being compared to someone else. Tang Shirong kept looking at Xu Wenqu's expression, fearing that he would be unhappy, but seeing that he was still very interested, he did not stop him.
Seeing the young lady in front of him blinking her big eyes and looking like "I must convince you", Xu Wenqu laughed out loud: "According to what you said, I have to accept her."
He tapped his fingers on the table and asked with a smile: "Then do you also want to become my teacher?"
"No," Tang Shiyue said, "I can't learn these refined things. I want to learn martial arts from A Jing."
The corners of Qi Xiaolang's mouth curled up.
Xu Wenqu was not surprised. He nodded with a smile, straightened his clothes, stopped smiling, sat upright and said, "Let's see you."
The four of them came forward to greet him respectfully and presented the ceremony of becoming their master.
Tang Shiyue stepped aside and waited for them to finish the ceremony before smiling and saying: "Mr. Xu, from today on, I will cover all your food and wine!"
Xu Wenqu smiled and said, "Thank you very much!"
In fact, Xu Wenqu was not poor.
After all, he was the one who promoted people. As the saying goes, a poor scholar can help a rich person.
If a scholar is born in the lower class, he can have rice and food allowance, but if not, he still has to make a living on his own. Apart from being exempted from certain taxes and corvees, there are no other benefits.
Linsheng can probably be understood as the top students among scholars, that is, those with the best grades. Each prefecture, state, and county has a certain quota. Generally, they are paid four taels of silver every year, which is probably similar to modern scholarships.
It's different when it comes to being elected. If you win the exam, it means that you have already stepped into the official career. Even if you fail the examination, you still have the opportunity to be an academic official or a county magistrate. Moreover, the whole family does not have to pay taxes and food, and the status is the same as that of the county magistrate.
. There will also be people who donate property and land in order to get tax exemption.
Although he has been dead and living alone in the past few years, and even the villagers do not know that it is him who lives here, his life is not poor.
But this was Tang Shiyue's intention, so he naturally accepted it.
This matter quickly spread throughout the village.
People who have read books and know Xu Siyuan have been keen to tell people about this in the past two days. "Come on, let me tell you a joke. Some people say that Xu Siyuan is a poor farm slave!" Although the listeners don't understand much, they still know it.
Realizing what this meant, they all laughed.
But after this incident, Tang Shiyue's reputation as the blessed lady became even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Think about it, if you move anywhere, there will be a famous Juren master living next to you. This Juren master even accepted her brother as his apprentice. The most surprising thing is that he even accepted her sister as his apprentice! Such a blessing,
Isn’t it too big?
Tang Shijin, who returned home from Xiu Mu, naturally heard about this.
At first glance, it sounds like pouring a basin of cold water on your head.
He had only been proud for a few days, but he never expected that Tang Shirong would be a blessing in disguise and would become Xu Siyuan's disciple!
That’s Xu Siyuan! How could he be so willing?
He couldn't help it and wanted to come over quietly to take a look. He hesitated at the door of Xu's house for a long time. He waited until noon when he saw Xu Wenqu and Tang Shirong coming out.
Tang Shijin hurriedly hid behind a tree.
When he saw Xu Siyuan, whom he denounced as a "vulgar mason" to his face, Tang Shijin's face flushed red, and he was so ashamed that he felt ashamed.
Now Qi Jing asked people from the Cheng family class to place many stone tables and benches all over the village, almost under every big tree. Xu Siyuan was placed on the stone table, but he talked with them warmly.
It looks unassuming.
Is this person really Xu Wenqu, who won four yuan in a row?
How could such a high-ranking and talented person be able to talk to these rough guys? Could it be that they found an idler to pretend to be him? Just to save face?
Tang Shijin watched from a distance, and the more he looked, the more suspicious he became. Seeing that the door of Xu's house was ajar, he hesitated for a moment and then quietly went in. (To be continued)
