Chapter Seventy-Three: Master and Apprentice Bond

Soon after entering the lunar month, the news of Mr. Zhou Jiyan's official acceptance of apprentices spread in Chang'an City. Many young scribes came to the Yang Family Courtyard to participate in this grand and solemn apprenticeship. Needless to say, Zhang Nian and Du Chongfeng talked eloquently in the last palindrome meeting, and it was natural for them to become Yang Qian's junior disciple. But also under Mr. Zhou's name, there are two Wang brothers who have never heard of it. The brothers looked very good, as if they were the children of the family, and they were not very old, but they couldn't help but guess the reason why they were able to successfully apprentice.

No matter what the onlookers really thought in their hearts, it was an out-and-out fact that Wang Ziling and Wang Zi worshiped under Mr. Zhou's door, and no one could reverse it. The prince stood not far away, looking at them with great satisfaction, as if he was rejoicing for them, as if he was worried about them, and even more so as if he was a little relieved. His expression is so complicated, if someone notices it, he will soon be able to find the clues, and his mind will naturally become more and more lively.

I don't know when, Yang Qian came to his side with Du Chongfeng and introduced them to each other. This Du Chongfeng is about twelve or thirteen years old, but he is not as arrogant and stubborn as ordinary young talents, and his demeanor is very shy. He just stood aside and smiled slightly, not saying much, but he looked very good.

The prince looked at him, and for a while felt that this son could not be said to be quite compatible with the prince, so he was also polite and courteous to him, and said a few kind words to ask him to take care of his younger brother. Du Chongfeng didn't know the feud between the three brothers, and naturally he didn't know that the younger brother he mentioned was only Wang Zimu, so he agreed very seriously.

Yang Qian was so exquisite, he noticed the subtle difference, and said with a smile: "Zixian, can you finally rest assured?" Zimu and Ziling followed Mr. to study, and their future achievements will never be lower than those of Guozijian students. I can't say it, your big brother needs to step up, don't be compared to them. ”

These words may sound like a joke, but they are not necessarily not true, depending on what the listener thinks. When the prince heard this, he just smiled faintly: "Blue is better than blue, and I have always had high hopes for them." If they can really rise to the top in the future, they must also be credited with a God-given opportunity like today, but they can be a good student Xie Yang Cousin. He spoke very sincerely, as if he were really an impeccable brother.

Yang Qian's smile did not change at all, and he said: "It is indeed a good story for the two brothers to apprentice, but if the three brothers apprentice together, wouldn't it be even more beautiful?" If Zixian changed his mind at any time, he just mentioned it to me. Sir has always been interested in you, and he will definitely guide you in the future. ”

"Thank you cousin for your kindness, I understand. However, he has been annoyed by his cousin many times, how dare he have any thoughts again? Wang Zixian smiled a little more helplessly, "What's more, Guozijian is already very good, and I am very satisfied." "No matter how good Mr. Zhou Jiyan is, he can't resist the bad of Yang Qian and Wang Ziling. It was not easy to be liberated for a short time, how could he allow himself to be trapped in their middle again, to be calculated by them, and not to be free?

What's more, he now has a suitable master-apprentice fate. Without any shackles, he took the initiative to find him again and again, guiding him with the excuse of beating, which seemed wild and casual, but in fact he was straightforward and sincere. The two got along as if they had forgotten their friendship, and the master-apprentice relationship gradually became tacit.

Seeing that he really had no intention, Yang Qian stopped persuading. After listening to the back and forth between the two, Du Chongfeng also looked at Wang Zixian with curiosity and showed him a more friendly smile. Due to etiquette, Wang Zixian had to exchange a few more words with them. Not long after, Yang Qian's supporters surrounded him, and he quietly retreated, without attracting anyone's attention.

After officially worshipping under Mr. Zhou's door, Wang Ziling's arrogance became more and more high, and naturally he became more and more disgusted that the courtyard he currently lived in was too simple. Moreover, the Yang Family Villa, where Mr. Zhou temporarily lives, is located in Jinggongfang, which is adjacent to Dongshi, which is one east and one west from Yankangfang, which is too far away. If you come and go every day, you don't know how much time you spend on the road, which is really not convenient. So, he first tossed up the matter of moving.

Wang Zixian didn't stop him, and looked at him coldly to see how he tossed. Chang'an City has always been rich in the east and rich in the west, and the mansions near the East City are even more priceless, and they were all occupied by high-ranking official families early. Even if you lease the same simple and dilapidated small courtyard, I am afraid that the rent will be two or three percent more expensive. Although Wang Ziling has been back to Shangzhou several times recently, each time he urged Xiao Yang's to cut his flesh and let him bleed, and it seems that he has taken a lot of money. But most of them have already bought gifts for the Hongnong County Mansion and Mr. Zhou, and he spends his own money and is chic, how much can he have left?

Sure enough, after taking a fancy to a three-entry small mansion, but finding that he couldn't even pay the rent for a few months, Wang Ziling finally stopped. However, within two days, he began to pack his belongings again with a happy face.

After cleaning up all day, Wang Zixian didn't pay attention to him, he was unwilling to be lonely and came to the main room: "Big brother, Mr. heard that the three of us brothers live in cramped places, and I am allowed to move with San Lang to live in another courtyard." Since it is the kindness of Mr., we naturally can't refuse - hehe, in the future, we will be wronged that the eldest brother will live alone. ”

Wang Zixian frowned slightly: "Although the Yang family's courtyard is large, after all, it is under the fence, and you may not be able to live too comfortably." After all, I will keep the east and west wings for you at all times, and whenever you come back, you can stay immediately. His reaction was so calm, it was obviously not what Wang Ziling expected. And these calm and rational words are naturally another taste in the ears of people with ulterior motives like him.

So, Prince Ling snorted coldly: "With Mr. and cousin taking care of them, how dare those slaves slack off?" The dignified son of the Langya Wang family and the in-laws of the Yang family, and Zhang Nian's poor son is naturally not the same!! He probably had never enjoyed any wealth, so he felt uncomfortable everywhere! After we went, of course it was completely different!! ”

Hearing Zhang Nian mentioned between his words, Wang Zixian raised his eyebrows and asked Qingsu to call the prince well. In front of Wang Ziling, he admonished: "Since the senior brothers live together, don't share anything with each other. Wherever Zhang Nian lives, you can choose whatever is nearby, and you don't need special care from your cousin. "Since Wang Ziling is hopeless, he can only let Wang Zimu come forward. Mr. Zhou's disciples are all smart people, and as time goes by, they naturally know who to associate with.

Wang Zimu agreed, hesitated slightly, and explained: "Eldest brother, this is also the kindness of Senior Brother Yang, he thinks that we really live a little far away, and it is not very convenient. Moreover, Senior Brother Yang also invited the eldest brother to live with him, and I knew that the eldest brother was unwilling, so I politely declined - does the eldest brother think it is appropriate to do this? ”

Wang Ziling had never heard of such a thing, and just as he was about to say a few sarcastic words, he heard the prince laugh and said, "The third brother really knows me." I'm so comfortable with it now that I can't say yes. However, remember to come back often on the day of rest. If something happens, feel free to send someone to inform Keisu or Cao Shiro. "Since he is the eldest brother, he shows his demeanor, and he doesn't care about the second brother who offends him again and again, and he advises the well-behaved third brother with earnest advice, which is impeccable.

Then, he personally sent their brothers out of the courtyard, and after watching them go away with a group of beautiful women, the corners of his lips were unabashedly raised. Qingsuo, Cao Shilang, and Ah Liu also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, cleaning the courtyard, preparing for the evening meal, and watching the door, everyone's behavior became a little more cheerful.

When Wang Zixian stepped into the study on the side of the main room again, a laugh came from behind the heavy bookcase: "A moment ago, I was still tolerant and generous, and I thought about my brother everywhere - he was a rare good brother in the world; The next moment, the true colors were revealed, and it seemed that they were eager to drive them away. Tsk, what a hypocrite, a complete hypocrite!! ”

"What about hypocrites? What about a true gentleman? Wang Zixian was not moved at all, "If you want to gain a foothold on Qingyun Road, a true gentleman who has nothing will not be able to stand firmly." Isn't that what is the case, sir? looks uninhibited, but in fact it is frank and naΓ―ve. Is it possible that students want to follow in his footsteps? has been working hard for twenty or thirty years, and is still a petty official from the seventh grade? ”

He spoke unceremoniously, and the person behind the bookcase choked and muttered, "The old man is really blind!" I thought you were good at everything, and your talent and heart were all bad, but who knew that your heart, liver, spleen and lungs had already turned black into a carbon head? That is, in front of the old man, you dare to be so unscrupulous! Hum! ”

Wang Zixian smiled slightly, poured tea and sent it over: "This is also because I trust Mr. wholeheartedly." Moreover, although the students have more thoughts, they have never done anything that hurts nature and reason, and they can't be called black in their hearts, livers, spleens and lungs. "He has worked hard for so many years, not to get such an evaluation. Otherwise, just follow the voice in your heart, and many problems can be solved in a different way, so why bother?

"If you can't control yourself, how can the old man look down on you?!" The old man behind the bookcase took the tea, and the corner of his eyes twitched, "The policy is well written, the words are good, and the tea is well cooked, it's you." As for your character, the presence of your dear friend will not lead you completely out of the right path. ”

The prince was stunned, and immediately knelt down to make a big salute: "Student Wang Zixian, meet the master." He lay on his stomach on the ground, his back straight, his waist tucked, and he looked graceful and full of life, as if he could turn into some beast in the next moment and leap violently.

The old man, Mr. Song Kesong, who was the chief secretary of the Guozijian at the time, looked at his only new disciple, and always felt that there seemed to be something different from what he expected, and he was silent for a long time: "...... Isn't that too basic? It is inevitably too far from the formation when Zhou Jiyan accepted disciples. No, no, the two of us have to choose an auspicious day and invite people to watch the ceremony! Be sure to let those old guys know that the old man has accepted a good disciple with qualifications far beyond ordinary people! ”

Mr.'s attention had already shifted, so Wang Zixian didn't wait for him to arouse, and sat up on his knees: "Sir's restraint, the disciple is ready." If you want to hold a worship ceremony, you can also choose an auspicious day and invite your best friends to come and watch the ceremony. Now he lives alone in this compound, as long as there is enough reason, he can let Li Hui come over at any time.

"When you mention inviting your 'best friends' to watch the ceremony, your eyes light up instantly." Mr. Song stroked his long beard and glanced at his disciple, "How many days have you not seen each other?" Missed him so much? It's like those little children who 'don't see each other for a day, like every other autumn'...... Anyway, as a teacher, I will fulfill you, and take him as a disciple, and your brothers and sisters will be able to come and go at any time in the future. Well, how did he write his thesis? Show me first? Before, his vision for evaluating policy theory was good, and it shouldn't be too bad. Even if you can't write, you will be a teacher and you will be good / adjust / teach / him ......"

Listening to his husband's talk, although Wang Zixian was moved in his heart, he had to remind: "Sir, Ah Hui's identity is a little special, I'm afraid I will live up to Mr.'s kindness." ”

"What identity? He's not a student of Guozijian? Only then did Song Ke react.

"Ah Hui is the son of His Royal Highness King Pu and is named the king of Xin'an County."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I heard that the king of Xin'an is very favored? ”

"Sir, rest assured, Ah Hui never took the matter of evaluating and evaluating policies to heart last time."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hehe. ”
