But now that he is leaving, there is no need to worry too much about Sima Wei's affairs, Cui Wenqing is optimistic by nature, and soon got out of his sorrow, and began to plan for apprenticeship in his heart.

Wang Anshi is a great Confucian in the world, and he is also a prime minister, and he also has the identity of an emperor, so he can't be too sloppy when apprenticing.

Fortunately, when Zhixiu learned about this, he had already prepared a heavy and elegant apprenticeship ceremony for him.

Looking at it carefully, first of all, it is a necessary thing for Confucian apprenticeship, which is called "Six Rites and Bundles"

They are: celery (meaning diligent and studious, good at diligence), lotus seeds (lotus seeds are bitter, meaning painstaking education), red beans (meaning red luck and high light), red dates (meaning early and high school), longan (meaning merit and consummation), dry and lean pork strips (to express the mind of disciples).

In addition, it is an old pit Tao inkstone, two Xuancheng purple brushes, and a Tang Dynasty calligraphy sage Zhang Xu's true handwriting.

This old pit Tao inkstone is made of Tao River green stone, green as blue, moist as jade, hidden at the bottom of the deep water of the big river, not caused by manpower, it is a priceless treasure.

And Xuancheng Zihao brush selection is strict, Seiko meticulous, with elegant molding, pure and durable, rigid and soft, sharp round Qi Jian and complete unique style, since the Tang Dynasty, highly admired and pursued by famous calligraphers and painters, every year when Xuancheng produces a pen, the price of Zihao is as expensive as gold.

As for the authentic painting of Zhang Xu, it is "The Late Autumn into Luoyang", which can be described as valuable.

Of course, these things are not Cui Wenqing and Zhezhao's, but the treasures in the Yang Mansion's study.

These things were all prepared by Yang Wenguang himself.

According to Yang Wenguang's words, the Yang family finally produced a talented man who was favored by the great Confucians of the world, and he was also a disciple of the emperor of the dynasty, so it was natural to prepare gifts that were elegant and valuable.

Anyway, these things were originally rewards from the imperial court, and for the Yang family and other military generals, they were far less attractive than swords, guns, sticks, and famous vests, so it would naturally not hurt to send them out.

On the day of the auspicious day of the zodiac, Cui Wenqing put on a Confucian robe and personally went to the door to worship the teacher.

And Wang Anshi also took off his official uniform, changed into his master's robe, and sat on the throne and calmly accepted Cui Wenqing's bow.

Subsequently, according to the usual practice, Wang Anshi gave Cui Wenqing gifts such as "Analects", green onions, celery, etc., and at the same time led him to sing the "First Chapter of the University", symbolizing the great responsibility of "preaching, teaching, and solving doubts".

By the time the apprenticeship was completed, it was already noon, and Wang Anshi's wife, Wu, personally hosted a family banquet to entertain Cui Wenqing.

In addition, there are Wang Anshi's eldest son Wang Yan and the second son Wang Bei.

Wang Yan is more than 30 years old, he is a famous prodigy at a young age, he has been sensitive, when he was a few years old, he had a roe deer and a deer in the same cage to ask Wang Yan: "What is a roe deer?" What is a deer? ”

Wang Yan didn't know it, and replied for a long time: "The one who is on the side of the deer is a deer, and the one on the side of the deer is a roe deer." ”

Everyone was amazed and amazed.

At present, Wang Yan serves as the storyteller of the Yisui Palace, which is dedicated to the official family to tell the history of books, explain the meaning of the scriptures, and prepare consultants, in today's words, he is the emperor's think tank adviser.

And Wang next to Cui Wenqing is about the same age, but he seems to be a little pampered, and he is also a little ignorant of Cui Wenqing, looking at his gaze, he feels that he is looking at the poor relatives who came to climb the dragon and the phoenix.

Today's festive celebration, Cui Wenqing will not mind, and he gets along happily with Wang Anshi's family.

After the meal, Wang Anshi took Cui Wenqing to the study and had a secret discussion.

Holding the steaming teacup, Wang Anshi took a sip to eliminate the smell of wine, and then said with a slight smile: "Wen Qing, now that you and I are masters and apprentices, the old man will be outspoken." ”

Cui Wenqing said respectfully: "The teacher has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Wang Anshi put down the teacup and said, "This trip to Suizhou, I don't know if you have any plans in advance?" ”

Cui Wenqing thought for a while and said: "Teacher, in the opinion of the students, this trip should be based on appeasement and heart-to-heart, so that the people resettled in other places must stay in Suizhou with peace of mind, engage in production and labor, and cooperate with the Zhenwu army to resist the southern invasion of the Liao." ”

Wang Anshi smiled and said: "This is easy to say, but it is difficult to start, and Xuzhou is too far away from Luoyang, and many things are afraid that you have to decide for yourself." ”

"Students understand." Cui Wenqing nodded and said with a smile, "Teacher, this time the student went to Xuzhou, I'm afraid it won't go so smoothly, I don't know if the teacher can promise the student?" ”

"Huh? You said! Wang Anshi nodded without thinking about it, for this closed disciple, he naturally wanted to support it.

Cui Wenqing said: "No matter what the students do in Xuzhou, even when they attract the criticism of the ministers of the imperial court, I also ask the teacher to support me all the time, and turn around for the students among the officials and ministers." ”

Wang Anshi said solemnly: "Your trip is already difficult, the old man knows the danger, if there is a mistake in the decision, the old man will also bet on this black hat to ensure your safety, you can rest assured." ”

Cui Wenqing knew that Wang Anshi was not a person who made promises lightly, and since he said so, it must be true to his word.

So, Cui Wenqing put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "In this way, there will be a lot of trouble for Master Lao." ”

Bidding farewell to Wang Anshi and leaving the palace, Cui Wenqing walked on the wide long street of Luoyang City, looking around at the lively scenes left and right, and couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.

Unconsciously, he came to the gate of Guozijian, looking at the tall gate made of white marble, and he was even more moved for a while.

At this moment, the sound of gentle footsteps came from far and near, and the mellow and gentle female voice was already ringing in the ears: "Pacify the adult, parting is imminent, isn't there still a little reluctance?" ”

Cui Wenqing turned around in astonishment, but saw a pretty figure standing in front of him.

It is still a familiar white Confucian robe, with a cloud of hair coiled into a scribe's bun, and a dark green hairpin inserted in the middle of the bun.

In Cui Wenqing's impression, Chen Ningmo is so beautiful after all.

Cui Wenqing came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a bachelor, speaking of which, I was about to go to the bachelor's residence to say goodbye, but I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

Chen Ningmo said with a smile: "Wen Qing is here to serve the country and the people, although she has no choice but to give up the imperial examination, but it is also an upright husband, I am really happy to be able to teach a student like you." ”

It is difficult to have Chen Ningmo to be kind to him, Cui Wenqing was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Is this sentence your comment on the end of my country's sub-prison studies?" ”

"Sort of!" Chen Ningmo sighed lightly, looked at him with beautiful eyes, and a heartfelt smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, and open peace for all generations." To be able to have such a purpose of being an official, in all fairness, I am not as good as that! I believe that you will be able to successfully solve the chaos of the people resettled in other places this time, and return the peace of the prefecture. ”

Hearing Chen Ningmo's praise, Cui Wenqing couldn't help but smile and said, "Bachelor, don't worry, I will definitely successfully complete the characters delivered by the imperial court and will not live up to your expectations." ”

Chen Ningmo nodded firmly, looked at his young but heroic face, and suddenly, he remembered the person in the depths of his heart.

I couldn't help but be stupid for a while.
