Jia Yu took a bunch of words and took them to taste with Jia's mother, saying that he wanted to choose a pair as a gift for Jia Hu's apprenticeship. Shi Fei'er looked at these words and banners were all written by famous artists, and they all had celebrity appreciation and inscriptions, and she smacked her tongue in her heart, this Jia Yu is becoming more and more different from the painting style in the book, if it is according to the character of Jia Yu in the book, how can this thing be taken out of Jia Yu's pocket?
"I look at the panels, it's all good. Shi Fei'er nodded, "Which famous teacher did you choose for Hu'er, and you spent so much money? Now that you seem to have changed your temperament, you are becoming more and more willing." ”
"The old lady is making fun of me again. I'm not here to ask for a good teacher for Brother Hu. Jia Yu looked at this painting, then at that one, still hesitating, "Old lady, you have seen the world, just help me choose one!"
Shi Fei'er looked at it again and ordered one from it: "In my opinion, this painting of Hengshan monks is not bad." "The character that Shi Fei'er picked is the smallest one that Jia Yu brought out. Shi Fei'er continued: "Hengshan Jushi poetry, calligraphy and painting are excellent, this character was written when he was eighty-nine years old, although if you talk about words, his small block is even better, but I think this calligraphy is more freehand." This is good for people, words, products, and sex, and it is good for those who send it to teachers. ”
Jia Yu nodded again and again after hearing this: "It's still the old lady who has insight, and I also value this one, but I think the size is slightly smaller, so I hesitate." ”
Shi Fei'er thought to herself, this time it was really Jia's mother who had insight, that is, with Jia's mother's memory, she knew that this Hengshan monk was Wen Zhengming, and this Jia's mother was also very capable, if she really went early, maybe Jia's mansion would be dilapidated faster.
"This word has been chosen for you, tell me, which teacher was invited to Hu'er?"
Jia Yu sighed when he heard this: "Don't hide it from the old lady, this matter is still a little troublesome now." Can the old lady remember Peng Luo?"
"Peng Luo, that's a well-known strict teacher in Kyoto, and it's also your father-in-law's tall feet. Why do you want Hu'er to join him?" asked Sfeier. This Peng Luo naturally knows, but this Jia Yu and Peng Luo have some festivals, how can Jia Yu bow his head? I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult to do.
"Because it was highly recommended by the old father-in-law, he also sent a letter to Peng Luo, and the agreement was to let me take Hu'er to the mansion on the fifth day of the next month. Jia Yu sneered on his face, "First, this Peng Luo is indeed a strict teacher, and secondly, he has also bothered Lao Taishan once, so I have to give him an explanation." Jia Yu said this very reluctantly.
"How can I listen to you, it doesn't look like an apprentice, but like a door-to-door apology. Shi Feier joked with a smile.
"Old lady, how did I know that I could have today! And at that time, I didn't know that he would worship the old father-in-law as a teacher in the future, and I didn't deliberately rob him of the inkstone he chose!
"Well, you don't have to regret it, it's been years. Besides, it is said that this Peng Luo is broad-minded, and he should not be worried about you. Relax and relax, after all, Hu'er's future is important. You go according to the day, and prepare the prayer of the teacher. As for whether this Hu'er and Peng Luo can have a master-apprentice fate, it depends on the heavens. ”
Jia Yu sighed, this fate is difficult to estimate. If it weren't for Lao Yueshan's letter, he wouldn't have gone to this Peng Mansion if he was killed. For so many years, Peng Luo saw that he had always leaned his neck, twisted his face, and raised his feet, and he didn't even say hello, so it was just whimsical to let him take Jia Hu as an apprentice. Alas, who let himself be disrespectful when he wanted to grab someone's inkstone, otherwise where did he come from such trouble.
"It's been too hot this year. Shi Fei'er looked at Jia Yu's head and was about to sweat, and said with a smile: "You go and wash." ”
"That's true, it's a strange day this year, and it's not just us. The newspaper said that the northwest had been dry for two months, and the rain was pitiful, and I was afraid that the harvest would be reduced a lot. Jia Yu replied.
Drought situation?Shi Fei'er frowned as she listened. In the past three years, it has been smooth weather, and I have never heard of any major disasters. If this is the case this year, there may be a drought.
"By the way, what's the news from your uncle?" Shi Fei'er asked casually.
"As always, nothing new, except that I heard that a handful of thieves were suppressed last month. The uncle's letter said that he had seized some foreign flowers and plants from the thieves, and one of them was good to eat, and he wanted to bring it back to the old lady next time to try it. ”
Shi Fei'er listened and nodded, Mother Jia's brother took a lot of care of Mother Jia, and he still wanted to take care of him when he was so far away.
In a blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of the new year, and Jia Yu's apprenticeship to Jia Hu had been prepared early. It's just that I don't dare to have too many extravagant hopes for this, and because I am really helpless, I have to go hard.
When he arrived at Peng's mansion, he handed over the post, but he didn't let Jia Yu Jia Hu wait, so someone greeted him in the study. Jia Yu thought that this Peng Luo had to let himself wait, and he was mentally prepared, but as soon as he entered the study, Peng Luo was already waiting for him in the study.
"Brother Ruize, long time no see. Jia Yu hurriedly saluted.
"Whereever, General Jia is still the same. Peng Luo returned the salute with a smile. But why did Jia Yu always feel that Peng Luo's words were a bit harsh? But today is just for Jia Hu's apprenticeship, if he can succeed, he will say two words. Jia Yu didn't care too much about this. pulled Jia Hu behind him, and said to Peng Luo: "This is the dog Jia Hu, who went to your mansion today, and I hope that Brother Ruize can accept the dog as an apprentice." After that, Jia Hu glanced at Jia Hu, and Jia Hu stepped forward and said to Peng Luo: "Student Jia Hu greets the teacher." "Then you have to kneel down and kowtow to say goodbye.
Peng Luo hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's not a hurry to salute, General Jia, you also know, I accept apprentices quite strictly, and I am also strict in controlling apprentices. General Jia, I look at your delicate baby, I'm afraid I won't be able to endure this hardship. ”
As soon as these words came out, Jia Hu was stunned. Jia Yu had two words in his heart - it's over. This is clearly to push Hu'er out, and without saying anything, I first said that my Hu'er can't endure hardship. How do you tell?
Jia Yu explained: "Dog Jia Hu, if you say that the side is average, but there is a stubbornness in reading, I think I should be able to work hard." ”
Peng Luo listened and nodded: "It's a little bit with your father's temperament." Jia Yu was even more unpleasant when he heard this, doesn't this clearly mean that he has a bad temper and stubbornly robbed his things. But now it's hard to say anything, after all, I still have to ask for others, and then I heard Peng Luo say: "When my students have to pass the exam, I will take the test for you first." This is not hidden, not insignificant. Therefore, the gentleman is cautious. What do you mean?"
This question made Jia Yu on the side listen to the anger gradually rising, and asked a little baby who had just carried three hundred thousand to be cautious and independent, and it was clear that he couldn't look down on it.
Jia Hu shook his head when he heard this, and Peng Luo asked again when he saw this: "That sectarian son is straight and gentle, wide and chestnut, rigid and non-abusive, simple and not arrogant." What's the explanation?"
Jia Yu was even more angry when he heard it, it was "The Mean", and if he couldn't answer, he asked "Shangshu", this Peng Luo really looked down on Jia Hu.
Jia Hu tilted his head to look at Peng Luo, and then looked at Jia Yu and said, "The disciple is dull and puzzled. ”
Peng Luoruo suddenly said: "Benevolence is beautiful there, choose not to be benevolent, how can you know?"
Jia Hu shook his head repeatedly. Jia Yu became even more angry when he heard this, this Peng Luo is also tricky, isn't this scolding himself around the corner? Jia Hu doesn't know the Analects, and he has read it himself. Who is not benevolent? It means that this Jia Hu was reborn in the wrong car, and chose to live with such an unkind person as himself. Sure enough, he shouldn't have come today, this Peng Luo is a cautious person. It's really a waste of Lao Yueshan's kindness. Jia Yu endured all kinds of dissatisfaction in his heart, lest it break out in this Peng Mansion.
Peng Luo threw his hand at Jia Yu, and Jia Yu naturally understood in his heart that he had not taken the test. There are so many teachers in the world, just you have a crooked neck tree? I still want to hang myself here with you? Hmph, I still don't believe it! When I leave your house, I'll go to Hu'er and ask Gao Ming to go again.
Peng Luo was about to speak, but he heard Jia Hu say: "The disciple is stupid, and the disciple really doesn't know what the teacher said. However, the disciple has also heard that there must be my teacher in these threesome walks, and he also knows that this knowledge is endless. Today, please give me advice. ”
Jia Hu's words were respectful, and Peng Luo was stunned for a moment and said: "This is all the content of the Four Books and Five Classics, and you didn't talk about it before the master?"
"Back to the teacher, the disciple is not good at studying, and he has just finished learning the three-character scripture, the surname of a hundred families, and the thousand-character text, and he has almost finished learning the rhyme, and he has just read the poems of a thousand families. "Jia Hu came one by one, "But Master Gui also said that this freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and knowledge and insight are not a day's understanding, and no one can read a hundred books at once." You need to dive in and take your time, and you can't chew it if you are greedy. ”
Jia Yu was proud when he heard this, that is, no matter how good you Peng Luo is, you will not be able to understand a hundred books as soon as you land. Peng Luo, you are holding back your bad heart, and you want to ask us all the questions you don't know, and then turn my family away so as to embarrass me. Look at my family's Hu'er's answer is neither humble nor arrogant, see what you have to say.
At this time, looking at Peng Luo, there was a bit of appreciation on his face. Peng Luo nodded and said, "Your master's surname is Gui Ke, but it's called Gui Xing?" Jia Hu nodded, and Peng Luo asked again: "Then do you know that your master was angry with the students when he preached the Book of Filial Piety in class, who is the student?"
Jia Yu's anger rose again, this matter even spread out, and you Peng Luo is a good teacher to inquire about what's going on!
Jia Hu said: "It's the disciple." The disciple's words collided with the teacher. The disciple said that Guo Ju was foolish and undesirable, and said some side words. Jia Hu felt that this matter was not a good thing, and after thinking about it, he still felt that he could carry it alone, don't pull Jia Zhu again, make trouble for Jia Zhu, I heard my father say that this teacher is very powerful.
"What a collision, just a reasonable debate. You've got an appetite for me. I want this apprentice!"
Jia Yu was dumbfounded suddenly, didn't he try his best to make it difficult just now, why did he accept Jia Hu all of a sudden?
Jia Hu was also stunned, and asked his own question, but he didn't answer it, thinking that there would be no drama, why did it suddenly change? But today I came to apprentice to the teacher, and the teacher wanted to accept him, so he was naturally happy. Busy to ask the teacher to sit down, Bi respectfully bowed, Jia Yu didn't think about it at this time, and was busy asking people to present the six salutes and the greeting ceremony of the teacher. Peng Luo looked at Wen Zhengming's red cliff fu and was really happy.
Jia Yu was relieved to see that the gift was right for Peng Luo's thoughts, this can be worshiped under Peng Luo's name, but it is the dream of many scholars at the moment. This Peng Luodian tried the top three, and the Jinshi and the first, and he was also prosperous in the court, with high fame, good learning, and the disciples were all good, and the good things in the world were taken up by one person.
Peng Luo accepted the gift, and he should also return the gift. But at this time, Peng Luo didn't move, looked at Jia Yu and said, "Inkstone." ”
Jia Yu thought to himself, I just felt that you Peng Luo was a little pleasing to the eye, and turned over the old accounts, but now that his son worships that person as a teacher, this ceremony has reached the last step, so I guess I can bear it. Hurriedly ordered the people to return home and quickly send the inkstone.
When the inkstone arrived, Jia Yu handed the inkstone to Peng Luo, and Peng Luo was not ambiguous and gave Jia Yu a silver ticket of 500 taels. If that's all there is to it, Jia Yu will pay it back. But in a blink of an eye, Peng Luo transferred this inkstone to Jia Hu as a return gift, and said: "This thing was used by Wen Tianxiang, a famous general of the previous dynasty, it is a good object, you can use it for life, don't spoil it." ”
Jia Hu looked at his father, then at his teacher and nodded. Jia Yu was so angry, his face was almost blue.
