Chapter Ninety-Five: Apprenticeship
An Sanshao learned from An Zhilin's humble and polite attitude, and was welcomed into the study room in the outer courtyard of the Cen family by Yumo, and when he waited for Cen Erye to appear with his grandfather and grandfather, he was still imagining the past.
I think when he was fifteen years old, he was forced by his parents to study, and he also passed the township examination. Now he is also a showman. It's just that he was tired of studying back then, and he was influenced by the predecessors of Master Wu Feng Yazi, thinking that literature is not as good as martial arts, and it is better to play with a big knife than to use a pen.
Although this idea was later noticed by his parents and cut off in time, his father immediately drove away Fengyazi's predecessors, and his grandfather personally lifted the board and beat him, grounded him at home, and cut off his dream of being a young man in the rivers and lakes.
At that time, he hated his grandfather and father, who didn't understand his mind and blocked his dreams, and he didn't like to be an accomplice and not support his grandmother and mother. However, he went to Hualou, just to listen to music and watch performances and appreciate beauties, and never messed around.
Now that I think about it, I was really willful at that time, if he didn't insist on wandering the rivers and lakes at the beginning, but stayed obediently in the county school like An Zhilin, he might have been admitted to the lifting of people now.
An Sanshao sighed with vicissitudes: Moti back then! This time, he must be motivated and learn how to practice the literary industry with Mr. Cen. Strive to go around the Jinluan Palace in the future, find an official and a half-job, win glory for the big house, and teach his parents, grandparents and grandmothers to be proud of him.
Before An Sanshao came to Cen's house, he had heard the story of Second Master Cen, and he found great comfort in it. Every time he fails in business and has low self-esteem, he thinks about being more bitter than him. Second Master Cen, who was forced a hundred times and a thousand times unlucky, suddenly felt that all these setbacks he had experienced were nothing.
"Your neighbors have visited, and our house is really full of splendor!" A soft and gentle voice came from the door, and An Sanshao immediately straightened his back and put his hands on his knees in a proper manner. Sit more upright. The boy was so nervous that he forgot that he should stand up and salute his husband.
Listening to Mr. Shum's voice, you know that he must be an amiable and patient elder. It must be easy and pleasant to have his advice. An Sanshao happily thought that it would definitely be better to study with Mr. Cen than to be instructed by a strict father and some shopkeepers who relied on the old and sold the old at home. He was looking forward to the future.
"Mr. Cen is serious." Master An, Second Master An and their wives and An Zhilin got up one after another. Respectfully saluted Second Master Cen.
Master Cen introduced himself first, and when he saw that Cen Erye was the only one in the Cen family, and he didn't see the Lin family, he confessed to Cen Erye, and asked Mrs. An to take the second old lady An, who was uncomfortable when she saw Cen Erye, out and sit in the carriage and wait for them.
Subsequently, Master An continued: "This time, I will wait to disturb the door, one is for Wenju. The Cen family moved to a new home, and those of us who are close neighbors naturally want to come to congratulate them. Two. But I have a request for Mr. Shun......"
Second Master Cen had already raised his eyebrows, and he met An Sanshao, the only one present who was sitting and staring at him dumbfounded. As an enemy who once bullied a pair of his own precious children, Cen Er Ye naturally will not forget the appearance of Jì An Sanshao.
"Huh!" The corners of Second Master Cen's mouth hooked up a sneer: It really didn't take any effort to get it. He smiled and pointed at An Sanshao and asked Master An, "Master, I don't know who this sitting Lang Jun is?" ”
Master An squeezed his eyes at An Sanshao, who was stunned, and motioned for him to get up and meet Mr.
Ke'an Sanshao suddenly saw Cen Erye, remembering the fight with the Cen family at the Zhaofu Inn, it was already chaotic, and he didn't see his eyes at all, only to see him sitting and pointing at Cen Erye: "You...... You ......"
"You" for a long time. There is no "you" to say a word.
Master An smiled dryly and said to the pale-faced Second Master Cen: "This is my unworthy grandson An Zhijun." San Lang is young and ignorant, and he neglected Mr., so please don't blame Mr. ”
He pushed An Zhilin behind him in front of Second Master Cen and diverted his attention: "This is my nephew Zhilin." I'm here to visit. I want to beg my sir to take my unsuccessful grandson and nephew Zhilin under his tutelage and teach them their studies. Zhijun and Zhilin are already talented ......"
"Oh!" Second Master Cen said meaningfully: "It turns out that this Young Master An is still a talented person. It's disrespectful. However, I am only a shallow learner, and I have been reading books for more than 20 years and have achieved nothing, so I can't afford to teach Young Master An. A few of you, please come back. ”
Second Master Cen thought to himself: I can restrain myself from rolling up my sleeves and beating people on the spot, and I am already very well cultivated. also wants me to teach An Zhijun, a scum who bullies the old and weak. There are no doors!
"Sir, this ......" Master An suddenly became anxious. Second Master An and An Zhilin, who sincerely came to apprentice, were also shocked.
An Sanshao calmed down at this moment, he stood up, respectfully saluted Er Ye Cen, and said sincerely: "Boy An Zhijun has seen Mr. Cen. The events of that day were a misunderstanding, but I acted rashly and was indeed at fault in the first place. Now that I have repented, I hope that Mr. will not blame me. ”
The villain in An Zhijun's heart jumped around: It's really a narrow road! Why is he the famous Cen Moyuan! It seems that this road to study is long and difficult.
"Humph! You ......" Second Master Cen was about to say that you were dreaming, but he felt that it was undignified, so he swallowed his words. He was about to open his mouth to call Yumo outside to come in to see off the guests, when he heard Cen Saburo's laughing voice, coming from outside.
"Father, father! Peony and I picked up a hare with a broken foot in the orchard, and it was so beautiful! We took it to our mother......"
Cen Saburo ran in with a red face, and was stunned when he saw a guest in the house, and then hugged the rabbit and made a standard junior salute to Master An and the others, and said a little shyly: "I've seen all the elders." I didn't know my father had a guest here, which was rude. He turned to Cen Er Ye and said, "Father, you can talk to the guests first, I'll go find my mother." ”
"Wait." Second Master Cen grabbed Cen Sanlang, pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket to wipe the sweat on his face, and then smiled apologetically and said to Master An who looked confused: "As I just said, there is nothing to teach the two sons of An. ”
"The eldest master, the second master, and the two sons, thank you for coming to Wenju with gifts. I have received your wishes, but I am still sick and need my care. I won't sit with a few more people today. ”
"Tomorrow evening, my Cen family will have a banquet for the neighbors of the Quartet, if you have time, please come and have a good time." After speaking, without waiting for the An family to speak, Second Master Cen shouted "Yumo, send off guests", and then politely owed a few words to the old man of An University: "I am out of company." ”
After speaking, he led An Saburo away.
Second Master Cen was very angry in his heart: first, he was dissatisfied with the annoying An Zhijun, and second, the An family was too rude! The second old lady looked at him as if he was a ghost and wanted to eat her. Where is there a door-to-door visitor, see the host's family turn around in panic and leave! I don't know what to do! The An family still wants to ask him to teach An Zhijun and An Zhilin? What kind of dreams do you make in broad daylight! (To be continued.) )
