Lu Jing smiled bitterly when he heard this, it was because he had done these businesses privately that he was grounded by Lu Yu, and supervised him to study hard, for fear that he would go to the road of a businessman.

Lu Jing also understood his father's hard work, so he handed over the business to his henchmen to take care of, and he concentrated on the imperial examination.

After glaring at Lu Jing, Lu Yu continued: "Ruhai, now that Jing'er has passed the township test, but my body, alas, virtuous brother, the foolish brother specially invited you to come today, because there is something to ask for!" ”

Lin Ruhai looked at Lu Jing, who was standing tall and upright beside Lu Yu, and was a little apprehensive.

The reason for his heart was that he knew that although Lu Jing was deep-minded, he was sincere and filial, had good conduct, and accepted apprentices as disciples to find a backer for Daiyu in the future.

The reason for the concern is that he is now quite embarrassed and sickly, and he doesn't know how long he can last himself.

Lin Ruhai finally thought twice, looked at Lu Yu's eyes full of hope, and without waiting for Lu Yu to speak again, he said directly: "I already know what Brother Shichang means!" ”

"Well, Jing'er, would you like to worship me as a teacher?"

Lu Jing knew that his father invited Lin Ruhai to come here today, just for this matter, and saw his father dragging his sick body and handling this matter for him.

Lu Jing choked up a little for a while, and then he restrained his sadness, bowed down and said, "My nephew is willing!" ”

Although he knew that Lin Ruhai's life would not be long, and his father's hard work in hoping that Lin Ruhai would support him all the way, he was afraid that it would also be in vain, but he still decided to worship Lin Ruhai as a teacher to appease his father's heart.

Lin Ruhai looked at Lu Jing's expression, and knew that he had understood his father's hard work, and at the same time sighed in his heart that Lu Yu had a good way to teach his son, and there were successors in the Lu family, and it was more than enough to be his disciple with Lu Jing's talent.

"Thank you Ruhai, when you choose a good day and an auspicious day, I will invite some old friends to come over and let Jing'er kowtow to you and serve tea."

Lu Yu saw that Lin Ruhai agreed, and his heart immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and he spoke much brighter.

Lin Ruhai looked at Lu Yu's skeletal body, knowing that he was holding on, and couldn't bear him to work hard for this matter anymore, he sighed: "There's no need to be so troublesome, I can do it today, as for relatives and friends, I will take Jing'er to visit me in a while!" ”

"It's good!" Lu Yu thought for a moment, then agreed, and then said to Lu Jing: "Jing'er, respectfully invite the Holy Master!" ”

In less than a quarter of an hour, under the control of Lu Jing and the servants, the portrait of Wen Shenggong was hung in the main hall of the Lu family, and the incense offerings were also arranged one by one, and Lin Ruhai and Lu Yu sat on both sides.

Lu Jing first bowed nine times to the portrait of the holy master Confucius and the divine position, and then knelt down respectfully to Lin Ruhai, kowtowed three times, held tea with both hands, and raised his respect to Lin Ruhai.

After Lin Ruhai took a sip of the apprentice tea, he immediately put down the teacup and said to Lu Jing: "Jing'er, when you enter my door in the future, you must uphold loyalty, integrity, courtesy, and simplicity, calm mind and morality, treat people with sincerity, and stand up with trust." ”

Lu Jing replied: "The disciple must follow the teacher's teachings, and he must firmly abide by the teacher's precepts!" ”

"Get up!" Lin Ruhai nodded, and then saw Lu Yu holding on to his sick body, and was worried that Lu Yu might not be able to wait for the day when Lu Jing and the crown, so he simply picked up a good name for Lu Jing today, which was also convenient for his nephew and friends to call when they interacted.

"You are now famous, although you have not yet reached the crown, you also need to add words, for the teacher to take the word Huaijin for you, I hope you will start a family as soon as possible to support the lintel of the Lu Mansion, and do not live up to your father's expectations!"

Lin Ruhai said as he untied the white crane mutton fat jade pendant on his waist and handed it to Lu Jing, and said with emotion: "This thing has followed me for many years, but it was given by my ancestor when I was apprenticing, and now it is used as a meeting gift for my teacher!" ”

"Thank you for your kindness!" Lu Jing hurriedly bowed down and thanked him, then took the jade pendant with both hands, and replied respectfully: "The disciple must act in the future when Huai Jin holds Yu, his heart is like Zhixuan, self-reflection and self-cultivation, and strive to support the lintel of the Lu family as soon as possible, and live up to the expectations of his father and teacher!" ”

Lu Jing knew that since he was promoted in the exam, his father had not given him a word, but he wanted him to ask Lin Ruhai to help him get it when he was apprenticed, so as to deepen the friendship between teachers and students.

There is a cloud of etiquette: "Men have 20 crowns and words, women have 15 crowns and words", under normal circumstances, men add words when they perform crown salutes at the age of 20, and women take words when they perform the crown salute at the age of 15.

When a man becomes an adult, he needs to be respected, and it will be impolite to call him by his first name among his peers, so he needs to take words to make it easier to use when interacting with others.

Because the "word" and "name" are in the same table, the "word" is also called the "table word", and the word of the general man is taken by the close elders.

The woman is engaged to get married, before getting married, when the ceremony is held, so the woman who is not engaged to marry is called "to be the word", the word boudoir refers to the woman before the marriage, and after the marriage, you need to take the word for relatives and friends to call, the general woman's word is taken by the parents and elders or her husband's family.

Although Lu Jing has not reached the crown, he has already made a name for himself, and he is also a person with a certain status and status, and calling him by his name among his peers will appear disrespectful, so he also needs to take words to facilitate the address between peers.

Lin Ruhai saw that Lu Jing knew the elegance when he heard the strings, and he couldn't help but secretly praise this disciple for being sensitive and intelligent, and he also faintly looked forward to how far Lu Jing could go under his teaching.

Lu Yu looked at his son's apprenticeship ceremony, and said apologetically: "Don't blame the sea, it's too hasty today, I haven't made enough preparations for my brother, and after a while, I'll let Jing'er make up for the formal apprenticeship ceremony!" ”

"Brother, why stick to the form, now that I have received Jing'er's apprenticeship and drank the tea served by Jing'er's own hands, Jing'er will naturally be my disciple in the future." Lin Ruhai comforted.

The Lu family and the Lin family are also close relatives, although there was some misunderstanding back then, but now that the two families have released their suspicions, he accepted Lu Jing, a disciple, which can be regarded as finding a support for Daiyu.

After Lu Jing's apprenticeship, Lu Yu was overjoyed in his heart, and he rewarded the servants and subordinates in the mansion to celebrate Lu Jing's apprenticeship with Lin Ruhai.

Then Lu Yu ordered someone to hold a banquet, but after he forced himself to accompany Lin Ruhai for a drink, his body couldn't support it, and he went back to the room to rest under Lin Ruhai's persuasion.

After Lu Yu left, Lu Jing continued to accompany Lin Ruhai for a drink, and also asked some homework questions during the banquet.

Lin Ruhai also guided him wholeheartedly and answered Lu Jing one by one.

After the meal, Lin Ruhai taught Lu Jing again, and explained that Lu Jing was doing his homework at home, and there was no need to visit him in the next few days.

Let Lu Jing take care of Lu Yu at home, and then he left with a group of guards.

After Lu Jing said goodbye to Lin Ruhai, he immediately came to Lu Yu's bedroom and saw his eight-year-old sister laughing with her father, and her heart was full of warmth.

"Father, the teacher has left, the teacher explained, wait for my father to get better in some time, and then go to see him!"

Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, if the sea is thoughtful, you should prepare some good things in the past few days, and then go to see you in a few days!" ”

"The child got it!" Lu Jing replied.

"Brother, you're here!" When Lu Zhiyu saw her brother coming in, she hurriedly ran over and pulled his arm, affectionately coquettish.

Lu Jing touched his sister's hair dotingly, and asked with a smile, "What delicious food did you make for your father today?" ”

"My brother is dead, and he touches people's hair again!" Lu Zhiyu pouted and said dissatisfiedly.

Then she ran to the table, picked up a plate of osmanthus cakes, and said as if offering treasures: "Brother, look, the osmanthus cake I made for my father is fragrant and sweet, and my father said it was delicious, and I ate three!" ”

After Lu Zhiyu finished speaking, she raised her little face arrogantly, waiting for Lu Jing's praise.

Lu Jing saw his sister's cute appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "My little sister is really getting more and more powerful!" ”

As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and grab one, but Lu Zhiyu seemed to have expected it, and lightly turned her body to protect the plate, and said with a small face: "I won't give it to you!" ”

Lu Jing smiled and coaxed: "Good sister, is it okay to give my brother a taste?" ”

Hearing Lu Jing's pleading, the tsundere little Lori felt great satisfaction in her heart, and said proudly: "Well, that's good, I'll reward you with one!" She couldn't help but laugh as she spoke.

Lu Jing smiled and reached out to take one, teasing her sister while eating, and the room was filled with Lu Zhiyu's laughter for a while.

Lu Yu looked at Lu Jing's two brothers and sisters funny, and the smile on his face became more and more intense, and after their brothers and sisters played for a while, Lu Yu said: "Zhiyu, you go back to the room to rest first, I have something to say with your eldest brother!" ”

Lu Zhiyu knew that her father and brother had something to discuss, so she nodded obediently and said, "Well, Daddy, I have just learned to paint, and when I finish painting, I'll show it to Daddy!" ”

Lu Zhiyu withdrew from Lu Yu's room as she spoke, but a sad look stood up between her eyebrows, and she couldn't hide it, obviously worried about Lu Yu's condition.

Lu Yu saw her daughter leave with a sad face, and sighed in her heart: "Jing'er, you brothers and sisters are wise and sensible, and there is nothing to worry about as a father, but your sister is still young, I hope you will take more care of it in the future!" ”

"Father, don't worry, I will protect my sister from letting her suffer a little grievance!" Lu Jing said that he grew up taking care of his sister since he was a child, and he has long loved his sister as a daughter.

Lu Yu knows his son's attitude towards his daughter, and for Zhiyu, he, who is an elder brother, is even more pampered than him, who is a father.

Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction, looked at the remaining osmanthus cakes on the table, his eyes were slightly red, and he said with some sadness: "You eat those osmanthus cakes, don't let Zhiyu worry!" ”

"Father, my sister made it for you, you can eat more!" Lu Jing persuaded.

"You can't have to eat it for you every time."

Lu Yu sighed deeply, and said in a low voice: "I really can't eat it, so you should eat it!" ”

Lu Jing looked helpless, and his heart was even more sad, he knew that his father was sick to the point where he basically couldn't eat too much food, and his father was worried that he would disappoint his sister's hard work, so he let him finish the rest of the pastries every time.

Lu Jing endured the sadness, ate the pastry in three or two, and then bowed down and stood to listen to his father's narration.

Lu Yu saw that his son had finished eating the pastry, and then said: "A month ago, the Zhen family sent a letter and wanted to marry our Lu family, and now you have reached the age of engagement. ”
