Chapter 9 Recruiting protégés has their own scheming

"Why do you two bother? You are both people with prestige and status in Jiangnan, and this brother of mine can be accepted as your protégé, of course, this is good, but before coming here, I have already made an appointment with him to be brothers, and it is not your brother or mine, right?" Zhou Dingcheng pulled Besides's hand tightly, with a sly smile.

"This ......" Besides, knowing that it was originally just a joke, now Zhou Dingcheng actually took it seriously and wanted to be brothers with him.

Lian Daning and Chen Musa were stunned, and secretly said that this guy is too ruthless, he actually wants to be a brother with a child for the sake of calligraphy and painting, which is really open-minded.

"If the seniors don't dislike it, let's get married, but as for the brothers, I really don't dare to be a brother. ”

"What dare you dare, it's so decided? Zhou Dingcheng was a little in a hurry, he was really forced by Chen and Lian to have no way out.

"This ...... If you don't care about your father, you really don't dare to make decisions without permission. Besides, gritting his teeth, he didn't want to have much contact with such crazy people, and he wanted to be some kind of brother.

"That is, how can a child who is a family teacher like a miracle doctor casually recognize his brother outside. Chen Musa said indifferently.

"Brother Zhou, why bother, you are a frequent visitor to the academy, besides, this child will be a student of the academy in the future, needless to say, he will also be a disciple of this mansion in the future, we are all world friends, you want to learn calligraphy and painting with this child in the future, you can do it at any time, you can't make such a fool, but let the juniors laugh." Lian Daning said calmly.

"Count you ruthless. Zhou Dingcheng had no choice but to say: "Brother, the calligraphy and paintings I said are all whole, don't ambush me, otherwise I'm really crazy to show you." Who of them dares? Beijing City hasn't dared to laugh at me yet. ”

Besides, he agreed, and a storm subsided.

Those literati and students were stupid.

In the surifice, the old master Chen was Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and the color remained unchanged, the elk was on the left and his eyes were not instantaneous, and his concentration was extraordinary, and he was the first to grab his protégé today. Lian Zhifu knowledge articles are also contemporary people, although they are also kind to the students of the academy, but they rarely give permission, but today they are a little ugly.

As for Zhou Dingcheng, everyone is not surprised, this person is a complete madman, it is said that once he transcribed an edict in the palace, and he saw the inkstone used by the emperor, and he actually gave his life to steal it, and later did not admit it. The extent of the madness is evident from this.

But what's so good? Today he revealed all the kung fu of calligraphy and painting, but no one saw the mystery, the lotus picture was just a lonely lotus flower, they couldn't see any wonderful way to draw, as for calligraphy, if they dared to use that kind of brushwork in the examination room, it goes without saying that they would be beaten by the teachers and parents, but why did even Old Master Chen favor it so much?

Everyone looked at Lian Daning, hoping that he could give an explanation, as for Old Master Chen, if he didn't want to speak, even the emperor didn't want him to speak.

Lian Daning looked at the questioning gaze of all beings, but turned his head, not because he didn't want to answer, but because he hadn't figured out the background of those brushstrokes, he just felt that this represented a new direction.

Lian Daning turned to Old Master Chen with a questioning look. Old Master Chen raised his hands to make a claw shape, and at the same time opened his mouth wide, but did not make a sound.

Lian Daning smiled, nodded and said, "I have to ask Tang Bohu about this matter, but people don't want to enter your academy." ”

"Brother, I've always heard that you are good at Zhongwang Xiaokai, but I didn't expect you to study the calligraphy of the Northern Wei Dynasty so deeply. Zhou Wenbin said with a question mark on his face.

"Where do I have any research, that is, I went to the Longmen Grottoes with my father, saw a tablet, was fascinated, and extended it, and copied it when I had nothing to do, and I didn't get started at all. And said with a wry smile.

"Well, the penmanship is still immature, that's limited to your age, no way, the power is not something that can be replaced by heaven, you have to go to the pool to get it. Chen Musa said.

"Hey, old master, don't you look down on these carving insect skills? Zhou Dingcheng was surprised, he really didn't know that Chen Musa liked calligraphy, at least he had never seen him practice, let alone heard him talk about it.

Chen Musa didn't hear it, and didn't answer at all, and Zhou Dingcheng's beard moved up and down angrily, but he really didn't dare to splash it.

"The old master is as deep as the sea, and he has entered the Dao realm, where can ordinary people like us snoop on. Lian Daning explained with a smile. In fact, it is also an army of secret generals.

"Is this the master of the prefect of Lian Zhifu?" Chen Musa rebelled against the army.

On weekdays, these three people have a good relationship, harmony and grace, but today there was a conflict for the first time, but it was because of a fifteen-year-old hairy child.

Everyone was full of suspicions, but they didn't dare to ask, between these three people, none of them dared to get involved in it, but what was the point of snatching and being a protégé?

The best guess is Zhou Dingcheng, he is a calligraphy and painting idiot, all he wants is to understand the strange painting and brushwork, although the means are not clever, but it can be understood. Chen and Lian's thoughts are beyond their reach.

Chen Musa did not fancy his calligraphy and painting skills, he did despise these carving skills, but that unique perspective and insight surprised him.

How can a fifteen-year-old child be able to break new ground from the old path that his predecessors have been attacking for hundreds of years, it is a genius that only the masters of the genre have.

For example, Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming, at least people like Chen Baisha. This kind of person can only appear in several generations and hundreds of years, and the so-called rare is also rare.

Maybe no one can see Chen Musa's thoughts, he wants to accept the situation and become a disciple, in order to let him revive his own school of science in the future, compete with Yang Mingxin's learning, and even surpass it. Lian Daning belonged to the Yangming School, so he was naturally his opponent rather than his fellow Daoists.

Lian Daning's idea is shallower than his, that is, to accept a good protégé. It's like a collector who loves antiques and finds Qin bricks and Han tiles, which are bankrupt and want to buy them.

For him, a child prodigy is nothing less than a priceless antique. In addition, the ancients liked to accept protégés as officials, which is the same as Cai Jing Tong Guan and others recruiting Yizi Gan'er, protégé disciples are not only their own minions, but also their own arms, and they don't have to worry about their loyalty.

Once a protégé betrays his master, no matter what the reason, he will be shameless by Shilin and ruined for life. No one dares to take such a risk.

With the respect of the prefect, he presided over the pulpit of Jinxiang Academy, just to find an opportunity to bring all the talents in it into his command.

The turmoil subsided, everyone re-seated and continued to drink, but the first three of them were all guilty, and no one talked about the calligraphy and painting anymore.

Chen Musa continued to be as quiet as facing the wall, Zhou Dingcheng talked about some interesting stories in the court, and Lian Daning talked freely about the affairs of Shilin.

"Brother and brother, congratulations, you have become famous in Suzhou overnight today, and your fame is just around the corner. Zhou Wenbin whispered in his ear.

Zhou Wenbin is not jealous, his debut also caused a lot of sensation, although he was not so hot, but he also became famous overnight.

"My brother is the one who came over, so you should understand what it's like. And said with a wry smile.

He was sincere, and when he saw the confrontation between the three people, there was a thrilling feeling of swords and swords, which made him feel as if he was a prey, being chased by the three of them.

Qin lost his deer, I'm a human, not a deer. He rebelled inwardly.

After three more rounds of wine, Chen Mushawu got up and said: "It's late at night, it's scattered, it's scattered." "Anyway, I didn't care about everyone, and walked out.

Everyone stood up and watched Chen Musa go out.

After a while, Zhou Dingcheng said: "Go on, don't think about leaving." ”

After another round, Lian Daning said that there was still a case to be tried earlier, said goodbye, and got up to leave, and everyone got up to send it off.

This time, Zhou Dingcheng didn't speak, but no one dared to leave.

"Brother, you are still young, you can't stay up late, go back first, and let Wenbin send you. Zhou Dingcheng looked at the situation and said sincerely.

Moreover, when he heard of the amnesty, he hurriedly got up and said goodbye to everyone.

After walking out, Zhou Wenbin's family was waiting for a sedan chair outside, and Zhou Wenbin took his arm and entered the sedan chair together, saying, "Situation." ”

Along the way, neither of them spoke, and they felt depressed, so they opened the sedan curtain and looked at the streets and houses on a summer night.

In ancient times, curfews were implemented, and only during the Spring Festival and Shangyuan festivals, the imperial court would specially edict Jin Wu, that is, temporarily cancel the curfew and allow the subjects to have a night of revelry.

On the way, when I met the night patrol, there were two groups of lanterns and sedan chairs from the Zhou Mansion, and they were allowed to go correctly. The third group blocked the way of the group.

The patrol leader is in his early thirties, obviously much more experienced than Zhou Wenbin and them. This person's opening remarks are quite interesting: You sons are not idle people on night tours, but don't you know the regulations of Suzhou Prefecture?

Zhou Wenbin said with a big grin: "What are the regulations, you can come and listen to them." ”

The patrol leader was also not polite, and said: "When you travel, you can only pass with the permission of the government, and if you don't have a traffic order, this patrol has the right to detain and detain, which is the Ming precept." ”

Besides, he was about to speak, but was blocked by Zhou Wenbin. Zhou Wenbin smiled and said, "I'll go with you, wouldn't it be better for us to go to the prefect Lian together?"

Besides, he couldn't help it, and said softly: "Wenbin, I think it's better to give him two taels of silver." ”

Zhou Wenbin laughed and said: "This is a bad statement, the good show is still to come." ”

Moreover, he said to the patrol leader: "Do you know that we are having a party with Lord Lian, the prefect of Suzhou, tonight. ”

The patrol leader's expression suddenly became nervous, and he said, "You just came out of the Deyue Tower?"

"Exactly!" Zhou Wenbin shouted, causing several small patrolmen to tremble.

"This is a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and the contemptible people have eyes and don't know Mount Tai. The patrol leader still had a little ink in his stomach, so he hurriedly came up and bowed to Zhou Wenbin.

He also said: "Tonight, Lord Lian really explained to the villain, if you meet a son surnamed Guo on the night patrol, you must escort it!

Zhou Wenbin said: "That's right, we won't go back, let's go with you, go to meet your Master Lian, do you want to put shackles on us?"

The patrol leader repeatedly promised: "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare." ”

Zhou Wenbin said again: "I didn't go to see Master Lian, and I didn't let you go, what do you want to do!"
