Chapter 59: The First Protégé

Xu Yan is extremely "happy" in his heart at the moment.

The teacher thought so well for him, what else could he say?

It's just that before starting the devil's special training, Xu Yan felt that it was necessary to arrange some matters properly, so he took a leave of absence from his teacher.

Although Qian Dehong was slightly unhappy, he finally agreed.

No way, who called Xu Yan's original vacation only took one day? Even if you count the one day of the Lonely Mountain Poetry Club, it will only be two days when it is full.

This "extra day" can be regarded as making up for him.

Xu Yan was naturally very happy when he got permission, and he rested early after thanking his teacher.

Early the next morning, he went to Santai Mountain to bid farewell.

It is not too far to go from Gushan to Santai Mountain, and when Xu Yan arrived at Beiye, he found that there were many people next to Beiye, and he was puzzled for a while.

When I got closer, I realized that it was a scarecrow, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Needless to say, this must be a double happiness job.

He pushed the door and went straight up to the second floor, only to see the little scholar sitting by the window in a daze.

He quietly stepped forward and patted Shuangxi's shoulder, which frightened the little scholar and jumped up directly.

"Oh yes, what a thief broke into a private house!"

He turned around and saw that it was Xu Yandeng, who was stupid.

"Young Master, why are you back?"

Xu Yan said helplessly: "Why can't I come back?" I bought this house. ”

The little scholar scratched his head and said, "But isn't the young master studying in the academy?" ”

"I remember one thing that must be dealt with first."

With that, he took out a stack of manuscripts and handed them to Double Happiness.

The little scholar opened it and saw that it was the manuscript of the Journey to the West.

"The young master is going to send this latest manuscript to the Hangzhou branch?"

Xu Yan nodded and said, "It is worthy of being taught by Young Master Ben." When you went, you said that it was sent from Dinghai County urgently, don't say that I asked you to send it. ”

The little scholar smiled innocently: "Don't worry, young master, I'm not stupid." ”

Xu Yan in Dinghai County has already asked people to prepare the manuscript of the five chapters after the Journey to the West in advance, which can be updated according to the established time. But Hangzhou was unprepared.

can only use this argument to get through the trick first, otherwise it will be difficult for Xu Wei to explain to him when he asks.

"Just ask me, Young Master Ben wants to ask you, what's going on with the scarecrow at this door?"

"Young master, people are afraid. I live alone in such a big bamboo building..."

Shuangxi's eyes were red, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.

Seeing the little scholar's pitiful look, Xu Yanzhi couldn't cry or laugh.

"So you're using these scarecrows to get your courage?"

The little scholar bit his lip and nodded.

"You made it all up yourself?"

"Of course not, I paid someone to do it, and then I pulled it by boat."

Xu Yan wanted to roll his eyes.

You kid keeps saying that this young master is a loser, who is more loser!

"Well, that's it. Don't do such stupid things in the future. Anyway, this place is remote, and no one will come on weekdays. ”

As soon as Xu Yan's words fell, he heard a sound of footsteps outside the small building, and then someone shouted: "But Dinghai County Xu Gongzi is not in business?" ”

Xu Yan frowned, why is this voice so familiar?

When I went downstairs, I saw who was standing outside instead of Shen Yangchen?

"Shen Gongzi?"

Xu Yan was very surprised.

"Shen is bothered."

Shen Mingchen arched his hand at Xu Yan and said, "Shen came uninvited, it is really rude, and I have made amends to Xu Gongzi here." ”

The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, seeing that Shen Mingchen understands etiquette so well, Xu Yan didn't want to say anything.

But doubts are always to be raised.

"How did Shen Gongzi find Xu?"

"After the poetry meeting ended, Shen found an opportunity to ask Lingshi."

Xu Yan suddenly realized. Sure enough, it was the teacher who "sold" him.

He just mentioned it to Mr. Qian, and he didn't expect to be sued by his old man so soon.

"How can Shen Gongzi be sure that I will be in another industry instead of the academy?"

This is Xu Yan's second doubt.

"Just try your luck. It seems that Shen did not guess wrong. If Gongzi Xu is really in the academy, it will be difficult for Shen to visit. ”

Xu Yan thought about it carefully, it seemed to be such a truth.

Anyway, Shen Mingchen is also a talent, he just admitted defeat at the poetry meeting, and then he came to visit Xu Yan and couldn't get over it.

"Since Shen Gongzi is here, please take a seat."

Xu Yan couldn't lock Shen Mingchen out of the door, so he made a gesture of invitation with one arm.

There were two more people in the small building at once, and there were fireworks in an instant.

Double happiness is naturally the happiest person.

Without the young master's instructions, he rushed forward to make tea.

Xu Yan invited Shen Mingchen to the second floor, and the two sides sat down separately.

Shen Mingchen looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window and couldn't help but admire: "Xu Gongzi is really an elegant person, and he actually installed the scenery of the entire West Lake in the house. ”

Xu Yan said with a smile: "Shen Gongzi praised it falsely, Xu just wanted to find a clean place." ”

At this time, Shuangxi had already served the brewed tea, Xu Yan picked up one and said lightly: "Although it is not a new tea, the taste is not bad, Shen Gongzi tastes it." ”

Shen Mingchen nodded, took the teacup and smelled it, and sure enough, the aroma lingered.

"Taste Longjing by the West Lake, life is a joy!"

He took a sip, only to find it very sweet.

"It is indeed the best in the world."

Xu Yanxin Taoist also came, and the tea was drunk. It's time to talk about what you mean, right?

"Shen Gongzi, you came to Xu this time, why did you come to find Xu?"

Shen Mingchen sighed when he heard this: "At the poetry meeting yesterday, Shen really wanted to separate from Xu Gongzi for a while. It wasn't until Xu Gongzi's poem appeared that Shen understood that Gongzi was more than one realm higher than me. ”

Xu Yan said in his heart, does this Shen Mingchen have a tendency to be masochistic? Obviously I was depressed enough yesterday, but today I came to the door and wanted to experience it again?

Seeing that Xu Yan's face was full of doubts, Shen Mingchen explained: "Don't misunderstand Xu Gongzi, Shen is not here to compete, but wants to ask Xu Gongzi to accept me as a student." ”

Xu Yan was stupid when he heard this.

And this kind of operation?

"It's not quite right."

"Age is not an issue. I'm older though. But there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry. Xu Gongzi's poetry is above me, and he can be my teacher. ”

Xu Yan shook his head and said, "No, this is absolutely not good." ”

He had already decided in his heart that no matter what Shen Mingchen said today, he would not accept him as an apprentice.

What a fuss this is!

"What scruples does Xu Gongzi have, do you think that I am stupid and dull, and accepting me as a futile insult to Gongzi's reputation?"

Shen Mingchen has a bit of perseverance.

"It's not..."

Xu Yan only felt that his head was big.

It's hard for him to explain.

"Could it be that Xu Gongzi thinks I'm insincere?"

"It's not either..."

"Shen has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."

"Then you better not talk about it."

Xu Yan was already on the verge of collapse.
