Chapter 165: Xu Guangqi (Second Update, Asking for Support, Asking for Collection)
In March, when the tenants in the village were busy planting cotton in the fields, in front of the house, there were two men, a middle school and a young man, the middle-aged man looked forty years old, as for the young man who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, a pair of big eyes, both of them were dressed as scholars, and they should be a pair of father and son. They just stood in front of the door, pacing back and forth occasionally.
"Dad, does the En Guild remember us?"
"This ......"
The middle-aged man looked at the closed door of the mansion, then shook his head and said.
"I don't remember, but I can't help but thank you for saving my life."
"Will Engong come back today?"
"Didn't that servant just say that? Engong has friends who went to the factory to look for him, and the factory is naturally not a place to entertain guests, and he will definitely come back. ”
While father and son were talking, a carriage came over there. When the carriage stopped in front of the courtyard and people got out of the carriage, the middle-aged man led his son over to the long road.
"Dare to ask Gongzi, but Shi Gongzi."
"Who are you?"
looked at the father and son in front of him in surprise, and seemed a little familiar.
"Oh, it's really Engong, hurry, Qi'er, don't kowtow to Engong soon."
Eun Gong?
Without waiting for Shi Yiwen to react, the young man knelt down and kowtowed.
"Thank you Eun Gong for saving your life......"
"You are...... We've seen it in Matsue? ”
Shi Yiwen finally remembered, and he hurriedly helped the young man and said.
"You don't have to make such a big gift, you must not ......"
"Engong, if there was no Engong, I was afraid that I would not be able to see my son in the next time, when I came back to my senses, Engong had already left, and then after several tosses and turns, I heard that Engong was in Nanjing, but I missed it at the dock with Engong, fortunately I got the help of nobles, and I arrived in the capital and thanked Engong in person......"
Looking at the father and son who were chasing after this pair thousands of miles away, Shi Yiwen wondered.
"You have come thousands of miles to Beijing just to ......"
Looking at the young man with dust on his forehead on the side, Shi Yiwen was also quite moved, and said with his arm.
"It's just a gesture, why bother, why bother, hurry, please come in."
invited the two of them into the house, ordered Xiao Lian to serve tea, and invited their father and son to sit down, and was polite again, the matter was only a paragraph, and when their father and son introduced themselves, Shi Yiwen's heart was suddenly shocked.
"You...... Called Xu Guangqi? ”
Looking at the young man in front of him in surprise, Shi Yiwen was surprised in his heart.
Xu Guangqi was saved by me?
What would have happened to him if I hadn't saved him?
I guess he was saved by someone else.
Muttering so much in his heart, Shi Yiwen looked at Xu Sicheng and asked.
"I don't know Brother Siyuan, what are your plans next?"
"Back to Engong, this time I have the help of nobles, and I can take the dog to thank him in person, which is not easy to come to Beijing, so I want to find a famous teacher for the dog in Beijing in order to prepare him for the future examination to gain fame."
Looking for a famous teacher?
Looking at Xu Guangqi sitting there, he is only sixteen years old now, and it seems that he will have to wait for more than ten years in history before he can gain fame.
It took more than ten years to pursue fame...... This is a waste of talent!
Thinking of the series of achievements made by the young man in front of him in the future, Shi Yiwen suddenly asked.
"Well, Guangqi, would you like to worship me as a teacher?"
"Byrne as a teacher?"
Xu Sicheng looked at Shi Yiwen in surprise, he knew that the son in front of him had returned from overseas, and he also knew his identity as a fellow acquaintance, but could he be Qi'er's master?
The reason why he came to the capital thousands of miles away, in addition to the help of nobles, is more important is that he knows that there are many famous teachers in Beijing, if there is such a teacher to teach Qi'er, or even himself, then in the future, whether it is him or Qi'er to participate in the township test will be more certain.
Can...... The Shi Tongzhi in front of him, does he understand the article?
Just when Xu Sicheng was suspicious, Shi Yiwen's next words made him even more confused.
"However, I can't teach the Four Books and the Five Classics, and I only know a little about it, so I can't teach you the imperial examination articles."
Although I hope to accept Xu Guangqi as a student, some words are better explained clearly in advance.
Perhaps, it was Xu Guangqi who made Shi Yiwen have another idea in his heart, maybe he can make himself bigger by teaching such a student. He knew very well how weak his strength was, even though he seemed to have become friends with the emperor, so what?
"If you take in some students, wait for them to enter the officialdom in the future......"
But can you teach them the Four Books and the Five Classics?
Standing there in a daze, Xu Guangqi couldn't help but feel a little confused, although he was very curious about what Engong said, but the promotion to the imperial examination was related to his future.
How to choose?
Thinking of this, Xu Guangqi turned his eyes to his father, trying to get an answer from his father, but he saw that his father seemed to be also pondering.
"What can Engong teach me?"
"I can teach you the learning of the world, the way to govern the country and benefit the people,"
After a simple sentence, Shi Yiwen stopped speaking, just picked up the teacup and waited for his answer.
What choice will he make?
Just when Shi Yiwen thought that Xu Guangqi might not be willing to be his student, he heard Xu Sicheng, who had been thinking about it beside him, say.
"Qi'er's life was saved by Engong, and now Engong is willing to teach Qi'er the study of the world, although he is ignorant, but he also knows that the way of learning is still real, and what we seek is also the way to govern the country and benefit the people."
After that, Xu Sicheng instructed his son again.
"Qi'er, don't you hurry up and kowtow to see your teacher!"
"The student knocks on the teacher."
In the face of Xu Guangqi's gift, Shi Yiwen was not polite, but smiled directly. At the same time, he took out a fountain pen from his pocket, handed it to him, and said.
"I didn't bring anything with the teacher, so I will give you this pen as a little heart for the teacher."
"The elders dare not resign, and the students thank the teacher."
After accepting this student, Shi Yiwen, who was in a good mood, got up and commanded outside.
"Xiao Yun."
Listening to the young master's shout, Kou Yun hurriedly walked in and said goodbye.
"Young Master, what are your orders?"
The sparkling eyes really made Shi Yiwen, who hadn't come back for a few days, a little moved, but today is a good day, so we need to celebrate it.
"Young master, I took in a student, cook a table of good dishes at noon, and I will have two cups with Brother Xu."
"Oh, Engong is polite, it should be a banquet for apprenticeship."
In this regard, Shi Yiwen was not polite to Xu Siqing, but just said casually.
"I'll make it up next time, oh yes."
As if remembering something, Shi Yiwen asked.
"That, who is the noble person you said just now?"
