Hong Chengchou liked the living environment of the academy, so he didn't hesitate so much, and readily agreed to Mao Wenlong's request. While living in the academy, I taught Xin Wei, the dean, by the way. With Hong Chengchou behind him to give advice, Mao Wenlong can sit back and relax, let go of these things, and concentrate on his steamship.

That night, Mao Wenlong moved without saying a word, vacated the yard where he originally lived, and left it to Hong Chengchou, who had just arrived. The courtiers have done it to the point where he has been unmatched since ancient times. But Hong Chengchou, who has been in the officialdom for most of his life, did not have the slightest consciousness, but occupied Mao Wenlong's residence comfortably.

A small turmoil passed, and the college gradually calmed down. Mao Wenlong changed to another residence, but it was only a few yards away from his original residence.

Xin Wei received Mao Wenlong's order on the same day, and once again put down what he was doing, and he went to see Hong Chengchou with a nervous mood.

No matter how you say it, they were once the first assistants of the current dynasty, and they were the elders of the two dynasties. Hong Chengchou, the first person in the court today, wants to see such a character, Xin Wei is very apprehensive. Besides, this time he was going to apprentice, Xin Wei was excited and scared. I was excited because after I worshipped Hong Chengchou as my teacher, it meant that he was on the rise from then on.

With Hong Chengchou, a veteran of the dynasty, as his backer, Xin Wei's official career in the future will be much smoother. What I'm afraid of is that Xin Wei doesn't have the ability to be favored by Hong Chengchou, if he misses such an opportunity, Xin Wei feels that he will be very unwilling.

No matter how worried you are, people still have to see each other, Hong Chengchou's residence is where Mao Wenlong used to live. Xin Wei has also heard of these things, and if he can make Mao Wenlong move his nest, I am afraid that only Hong Chengchou can do it in this world.

The yard is still the same yard, but it's just a different person. Xin Wei was also afraid of Mao Wenlong, but he didn't see Hong Chengchou so nervous. It was not as troublesome as seeing Mao Wenlong in the past, and he needed to go through layers of secret guards, Xin Wei soon came to the door of the house, took a deep breath, sorted out the clothes on his body, and knocked on Hong Chengchou's door.

It was the old butler who opened the door, he raised his faint old eyes, looked at Xin Wei carefully for a moment, and asked, "You are the dean of the academy?" ”

Although the other party was just an old servant, Xin Wei still didn't dare to be rude, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile on his face, and replied: "Xin Wei asked to see Hong Lao, and he still wanted to be polite." ”

The old housekeeper saw that Xin Wei was very polite, he nodded and replied, "Come in, the master has been waiting for the dean for some time." ”

After speaking, the old housekeeper ignored Xin Wei, turned around and returned to the house. Xin Wei hesitated at the door for a moment before following the old butler into the room.

The light in the room was not bright, and there was only an old man with white hair in the hall who was closing his eyes and recuperating. Judging from his dress, it is not difficult to know that he is Hong Chengchou.

Xin Wei didn't dare to slack off, took two steps forward and immediately saluted in a proper manner, and shouted: "Xin Wei sees Hong Lao." ”

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou opened his eyes, looked at Xin Wei, and asked, "You are Xin Wei?" ”

Hong Chengchou felt a little surprised, Xin Wei was only in his thirties and less than forty years old. At his age, he has already sat in the position of the dean of the college. Obviously, he himself has some ability, not the kind of person who climbs to a high position by relying on relationships. The first impression was very good to Xin Wei, and Hong Chengchou then put away the indifference on his face.

"What Elder Xin said is extremely true, it is Xin Wei below, the dean of this academy." Xin Wei responded with some difficulty.

Hong Chengchou nodded, and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "The position of this dean is not so easy to do, and the chief soldier asks the old man to teach you." I want you to go directly to the teacher, what do you think about this? ”

"It is a great honor for Xin to be a student of Mr., and it is also something that students cannot ask for." Xin Wei was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately thanked Hong Chengchou.

Before he came, he was still worried that Hong Chengchou couldn't look down on him as a student, but he didn't expect that Hong Chengchou, who was famous in the Ming Dynasty, was so amiable?

"Don't be polite, the person you look at by the general soldier must have his strengths, although you are a person the old man just knew, but you are not the kind of wolf-hearted person who looks at you. Therefore, the old man is still more assured, and in the future, under the old man's door, he should study hard, and the benevolence, righteousness and morality should not be bad. Hong Chengchou said a few heavy words, reminding Xin Wei not to be ungrateful.

"Sir, rest assured, students are not that kind of people." Xin Wei swore a promise.

Hong Chengchou nodded and motioned for Xin Wei to sit down, and then looked at him and said, "Weihaiwei Academy is no worse than Guozijian, and it is a great honor to be the dean. Your words and deeds are paid attention to by countless students, so you must be strict with yourself, and don't lose the heart of the general soldier. ”

Xin Wei didn't dare to slack off at all, and immediately got up again, saying yes again and again.

Seeing him so nervous, Hong Chengchou was very helpless, and he found that this was not the time to talk to Xin Wei about these things. So he changed the topic and chatted with Xin Wei about family life.

After some homely chatting, Xin Wei's nervousness gradually dissipated, and he also found that Hong Chengchou was not as difficult as he imagined. Perhaps because of the old age, the current Hong Chengchou is obviously more easy-going.

When we met for the first time, Xin Wei failed to apprentice, and such a major event still needs to see a good day, and the procedures for apprenticeship can be done one by one. After Xin Wei consulted Hong Chengchou, he got a reply and let him make his own ideas.

Xin Wei gladly accepted, and then left first.

Hong Chengchou watched him leave, and he was still quite satisfied with Xin Wei in his heart. is not as worried as he was before, Xin Wei is not an impractical person, Hong Chengchou has nothing to worry about.

After finishing the business, Hong Chengchou will be idle, and then he will have the heart to walk around this residence and see the environment here.

Mao Wenlong sat in the courtyard of his new home, holding a pot of wine in his hand, taking a sip from time to time, looking very comfortable.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and Mao Wenlong didn't look up to know who was coming. You don't need to be informed, you can find it directly, and there is only Hong Chengchou in the entire academy except for Haoda.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Hong Chengchou coming over with a smile, stopped in front of him, and chuckled: "The life of the general soldier is so pleasant, and he envy others." ”

Mao Wenlong rolled his eyes, got up and invited Hong Chengchou to take a seat, and then gave another pot of wine, and then responded: "Mr. has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's say, if there is anything, I will listen to it." As long as it's not excessive, it will be done for you. ”
