On weekdays, the old man doesn't care about the outside affairs, but now he has a straight face, as if he used to teach students.

Ying Mo said with a smile: "I don't want to go back, or I would like to open the door and let him enter the courtyard, the wind is not light today, and I can't say that I will go down in a while." ”

"Mouthy." Yang Jing frowned but didn't say anything more.

Ying Mo shrank his head and hurriedly retreated, and after a while, there was a loud endorsement in the courtyard.

Yang Jing listened and picked up the book next to him to read.

Brother Kun's voice was very small and intermittent, the little maid of the Yang family was boiling water under the porch, the water was gurgling, and the maid made tea lightly, brought a cup to Yang Jing, and then brought the best tea soup to Brother Kun.

Brother Kun drank the tea in one go, and pursed his lips, "This tea is so sweet......

The little maid said: "It's our master's favorite drink." ”

One more person, the small courtyard suddenly became lively, after Yang Jing's wife died, he did not remarry, from the capital to Yangzhou, from Yangzhou to Taixing there are not many things, and there are few people around him, and now he lives in the courtyard outside Putuo Temple, except for going to the temple to listen to the host talk about Zen on weekdays, most of the time he is alone.

In the past, when I was in Yangzhou, there were students by my side, although the lord was sometimes angry, sometimes reprimanded with a straight face, the atmosphere was quite lively, and the lord himself was left in the past two years, not to mention that the lord was not used to it, they all felt too lonely.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to eat again, and the maid moved the table and brought the food in.

It's just time for dinner.

What can I do about this, I can't let this little master look at it.

Outside is the sound of endorsements. There was a fragrant meal in the room, and Yang Jing seemed to have returned to the past, although the apprentices he accepted could all have a good knowledge. But when he was a child, he was not particularly top-notch, and he had a twisting force in his body, no matter what pressure outside, he could work hard, so he always felt that students were not smart but not hard.

As for giving prayers and gifts, he had long been commonplace, and he taught to read. What is the use of giving those gifts?

Yang Jing thought of the past, and suddenly felt that the food in front of him was extraordinarily fragrant.

The little people outside were still meticulously reciting the translation.

He seems to have done this when he was a child, and his mother brought snacks. He was obviously drooling greedily, but he didn't dare to look at it, for fear that he would not be able to complete the homework assigned by the master, don't look at the small people. There is also a persistence in my heart. Only such children can become talents.

Time is like flowing water, and in a blink of an eye, he is old, and there is no one around him, this Lang Lang's endorsement reminds him of the days when he was accompanied by students.

The little maid was looking into the room.

Yang Jing ordered some food on the table, "Send it out." ”

Send it out, where to send it?

The maid looked out the door and immediately understood.

The table is laid out. Kun Ge swallowed a bite of the food and cautiously glanced into the room.

The maid urged. "Eat quickly, eat quickly, I've been tired for a long time......"

Brother Kun didn't know whether to do it or not, he had never eaten out, but he just picked up the chopsticks and ate them, as if he always left something.

Little Brother Kun stood up and solemnly walked to the door to salute Yang Jing inside.

One big and one little just had dinner.

Ying Mo entered the door and said in a low voice, "Master, Old Lady Yao is here." ”

Yang Jing waved his hand.

When he arrived in Taixing County, he was going to see Mrs. Yao, but he met the clansmen of the Yao family side branch in the meditation room, and heard about the actions of the old lady Yao from the mouth of the Yao family, so he dispelled the idea of meeting, and was so harsh to the side branch people, even if the reputation was not true.

Old lady Yao was waiting outside, and when she heard Ying Mohui's words, she immediately frowned.

Brother Kun in the courtyard was about to continue the endorsement, and the Shen family was busy sorting out Brother Kun's clothes.

Through the crack in the door, I saw Brother Kun's side face, the child who endorsed yesterday actually came again today.

Old Lady Yao stared at it a few times, and couldn't help but feel that this kid was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Such eyebrows and eyes, such movements, no matter how you look at it, it seems familiar.

"Fourth master, the young master is inside."

There was a voice from behind, and Old Lady Yao turned her head and unexpectedly bumped into Shen Jingyuan.

How could Shen Jingyuan be here.

Is it also to visit Mr. Yang Jing?

Old lady Yao had a disdain in her heart, and she didn't look at her identity, but she was just a businessman, and she wanted to learn from others to read, what was the use of reading? In the end, he still had to take out the abacus to play with his copper smell.

Shen Jingyuan didn't expect to meet Old Lady Yao here, and after being stunned for a moment, he simply saluted and asked the little guy next to him, "How is the young master?" Still feeling sick? ”

The little guy said: "No, the young master didn't say anything more......"

Shen Jingyuan nodded.

The sound of Brother Kun's endorsement came from the courtyard.

The little guy immediately said: "Listen, the young master is endorsing." ”

Hearing this, Old Lady Yao's eyes widened, what? The person who endorsed it was a child of the Shen family? The child he admired from the bottom of his heart yesterday turned out to be the Shen family?

No way.

That's impossible.

The son of a businessman can memorize a thousand-character text.

Old lady Yao waited for Shen Jingyuan to refute, but Shen Jingyuan looked comfortable.

"Who's inside?" Old Lady Yao didn't want to talk to Shen Jingyuan, so she raised her eyes and asked.

Seeing Old Lady Yao's unbelievable look, Shen Jingyuan snorted lightly in his heart, now he knows to ask, why didn't he raise his noble hand when Chen Niang was kicked out of the house, Chen Niang was dying in the Shen family and wanted to see Wan Ning, what did the Shen family say?

The Shen family is a good young lady, the old lady Yao said that he would take a break, and the Yao family is a wolf, a Zhongshan wolf who kills people without blinking.

Now hearing Brother Kun's surprised inquiry, Shen Jingyuan looked at Old Lady Yao's expression, and his heart suddenly felt very happy.

Want to know? The truth will never be told to him.

Old stuff.

Shen Jingyuan said: "That's a dog." He raised his chin triumphantly.

It was his son, his son Kungo.

He watched Brother Kun grow up with his own eyes. Shen Jingyuan felt that the sun above his head was shining warmly on his body, he had always been in the Yao family to swallow his voice, and today he was finally able to straighten his back and smile back to Old Lady Yao's words.

In the endorsement of Brother Kun. He raised his face high.

Old lady Yao suddenly felt a stagnation in her chest, and there was an indescribable feeling that the children of the Yao family had been studying since childhood, but they were not as good as the children of a merchant family.

What he envied yesterday turned out to be the children of the Shen family.

In the courtyard where no one else had entered, the children of the Shen family entered, and Shen Jingyuan had a triumphant look on his face, as if he was standing there and driving the Shen family out of the house.

He dared to do so. Just because the Yao family is a scholar, and the Shen family is a family of businessmen.

Now there are people in the Shangjia family who can read.

Shen Jingyuan listened outside the door for a while and instructed the little servant, "Take care of the sixth master." After speaking, he didn't look at Old Lady Shen. Strode away.

The people who gave gifts outside the door stopped to listen to the sound of Brother Kun's endorsement inside.

"Yo, it's a thousand-word text, and it's a paraphrase to memorize, what an old child. It will be so much. ”

As he spoke, everyone was careful to discuss. "Is it Mr. Yang's new apprentice?"

"No wonder Mr. Yang doesn't accept gifts, our children are not so smart, and this gift is also given in vain."

As soon as the man's voice fell, he saw the old lady Yao next to him, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Isn't this old lady Yao?" ”

Old Lady Yao raised her head.

The man immediately had a smile on his face, and looked at the courtyard, with a knowing expression, "It's the descendants of the Yao family inside, right?" Let's Taixing County. The Yao family is a scholarly family, no wonder there are such children. What kind of family is it, what kind of descendants can be raised. ”

"Is it a descendant of the Yao family?"

When the people around heard this, they came to ask.

If it is a child of the Yao family, then there is nothing to fight about.

"Master Yao San was born as a Jinshi, and now he is a hall official in the sixth department."

Old lady Yao was blocked and speechless, he would have been happy to hear such words in the past, but now...... Not only is it not the Yao family, but Shen Jingyuan's son.

Old lady Yao made a straight face, "Who said that it is our Yao family's children, that is the descendant of the Shangjia family." ”

There was a sudden silence around.

The person who spoke just now was stunned at first, and then smiled, "What Old Lady Yao said is true?" Which merchant's child is it? ”

Shen family.

The two words of the Shen family are now so difficult to say in his mouth.

Old Lady Yao frowned, and at a glance saw the little girl of the Yang family who walked to the door, Old Lady Yao looked over, "Mr. Yang is in the house?" ”

Ying Mo said: "It's here, it's just that Mr. still hasn't seen any guests today, so let's take your things back!" ”

Ying Mo was just about to leave, Old Lady Yao looked at the steward beside him, and the steward immediately understood and stepped forward, "Little brother, is the second son of Yangzhou businessman Shen Jingyuan in the courtyard?" ”

Ying Mo couldn't find the prayer post, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

Old Lady Yao saw it clearly, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, no wonder he let the Shen family enter the courtyard, it turned out that he didn't know.

Who is the Shen family? A famous salt merchant, how could Yang Jing teach a salt merchant's son to read, that would not be laughed to death by the world's scholars, Yang Jing could not destroy his reputation when he lived to this age.

The people outside saw that something was wrong and left one after another.

No one complimented the children inside for being smart.

Old lady Yao raised the corners of her mouth, with an elegant expression on her face, and looked at the steward beside her, "Let's go and wait in the meditation room!" ”

……

"Sir," Ying Mo walked a few steps into the door quickly, bowing his head to Yang Jing's ear, "Sir, the Yao family said that the young master in the courtyard is the child of the Yangzhou merchant Jia Shen family. ”

Yangzhou businessman Jia Shen's family.

They had lived in Yangzhou for a few years and knew the Shen family, a salt merchant.

It turned out to be the child of the Shen family.

Yang Jing put down the book in his hand, Old Lady Shen deliberately mentioned the origin of this child, because he expected that he would dislike Shangjia, Yang Jing suddenly had a feeling of being fooled.

It's not because of the Shen family, but because of Old Lady Yao.

Old Lady Yao knew that he had taken a fancy to the Shen family's child, so she deliberately rushed to pour cold water on him in front of him, waiting for him to push the Shen family's child out in a panic.

Yang Jing raised his head, "What about Old Lady Yao?" ”

Ying Mo said: "It seems that I went to the meditation room and waited." ”

is waiting to see his jokes, Old Lady Yao must have felt that if he sent away the children of the Shen family, he would ask people to go to the meditation room to invite Old Lady Yao over.

Yao Yiwen is now in good shape, and invited Xungui and important ministers of the court to hand him posts, is it possible that he will bend his waist for those posts.

Self-righteous, what does it have to do with the Yao family whether he accepts apprentices or not?

No wonder he wronged the people of the Shen clan, no wonder he was not even as good as a young lady of the Yao family.

"Sixth Master."

There was an exclamation from the courtyard, and then the little maid came in and said, "Master, that young master has fainted." ”

It's okay, how could he suddenly faint.

Yang Jing frowned and looked at the maid, "Quick, carry people into the house." ”

……

The little Brother Kun was carried in by the little maid and placed on the soft couch.

His cheeks were flushed.

"Why is it so hot?" Yang Jing stretched out his hand and touched Brother Kun's forehead.

The nurse next to her immediately said, "Our sixth master coughed last night, so he came late." ”

It turned out that he was sick, and he thought that he was afraid of hard work, so he didn't come, but the poor child frowned, looking very uncomfortable.

"What are you still doing in a daze, go and ask Lang Zhong to come over," Yang Jing instructed Ying Mo, who hurriedly ran out.

The maid wrung a handkerchief and put it on Kunge's forehead.

Brother Kun opened his eyes in a trance, and there were several people standing in front of him.

One of them asked, "Why are you still sick?" ”

Brother Kun rubbed his eyes.

"Sixth Master, this is Mr. Yang."

Mr. Yang, he has met Mr. Yang, this is Mr. Yang.

Brother Kun opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, "Sir, is the interpretation that the student just memorized right?" ”

Still taking care of the book he was covering, Yang Jing frowned, "No, it's scattered, it's not the same, and there's no point." ”

It was all memorized according to the book, and Brother Kun clenched his hands and didn't know what to do, "The students will work harder...... My sister said that diligence can make up for the shortcomings. ”

From the beginning of memorizing a thousand words to the interpretation in the endorsement, just because a sentence of diligence can make up for it?

Brother Kun said: "My sister said that I must persevere, even if I am the stupidest student, I can't be a smart young master," after a pause, he continued: "My sister has seen Mr. and said that Mr. is a good sir, let me read Mr.'s books before I come to meet Mr., and figure out for myself what Mr. has done and why he is a good sir." ”

Did you say this from the lady in the inner house? Yang Jing was a little surprised, but when had he ever seen the young lady of the Shen family.

"Where did your sister see me?"

"The Yao family," Brother Kun said carefully, "my sister is the young lady of the Yao family. ”

The young lady of the Yao family, who had seen him, Yang Jing suddenly thought of Miss Yao Qi, "Miss Yao Qi? ”

Brother Kun nodded vigorously.

It is Miss Yao Qi who saved the prince of Zhongyi Hou, and the teenage lady actually has such insight.

"Master, Lang Zhong is here."

Lang Zhong was invited into the door, Yang Jing let Lang Zhong come forward for diagnosis and treatment, and after a while, the prescription was prescribed, and Yang Jing ordered someone to grab the medicine.

"After taking the medicine, go back early to recuperate, and don't come tomorrow." Yang Jing sat down and looked at Brother Kun on the couch.

Brother Kun was wrapped in a quilt like a silkworm chrysalis, his big eyes kept blinking, as if he was thinking of something, but a child was a child, and he had a depressed look on his face for a while.

Yang Jing's heart suddenly felt a little unbearable, and his voice was much softer, "How can you follow me to study if you don't get sick." ”

Brother Kun suddenly raised his eyes, and his little face was full of surprise.

Yang Jing stood up and was about to leave, but Brother Kun's hand reached out from the quilt and grabbed the corner of Yang Jing's clothes, "Sir, what you said is true, Brother Kun can study with Mr." ”

Be cautious, as if you were afraid that you would hear it wrong.

Yang Jing nodded, "Tell your father to come and worship the teacher another day." ”

A smile suddenly appeared on Brother Kun's face, "Master, the student will definitely study hard and not embarrass the master." ”

When Shen Jingyuan picked up Brother Kun, Yang Jing looked at Ying Mo, "Go to the meditation room and talk to Old Lady Yao, and say that I, Yang Jing, have accepted apprentices." ”
