Hearing this, Cui Wenqing was even more stunned, and finally came back to his senses, and said in incredible surprise: "However, I don't know Prime Minister An Shi either, why is he ......?"

Yang Wenguang shook his hand and said with a smile: "The things you did in Fuzhou are all known to Prime Minister Anshi, the reason why Su Shi came to Fuzhou is also to come to investigate and understand you on the order of Prime Minister Anshi, and your character and talent have made Prime Minister Anshi very satisfied, so he ensured that you came to Guozijian in front of the official family, and Chen Ningmo, a scholar of Jiyingdian University, became your teacher, the main intention is to hope that you can pass the imperial examination in the coming year, roll call outside Yingtianmen, and serve the imperial court." ”

Understanding the reason, Cui Wenqing had been silent for a long time, and suddenly felt a trace of gratitude to Wang Anshi, who had never been masked.

In his opinion, there were countless powerful ministers in the Manchu Dynasty, and almost all the ministers liked to rely on nepotism to employ people, promote their protégés, relatives and friends, how many people can really do things with public intentions, and employ people with public intentions?

What he didn't expect was that Wang Anshi, as a high-ranking prime minister, actually paid attention to him, a little-known talent on the list, and not only sent Su Shi, who was talented and talented, to investigate, but also personally went to the official family to ask for a famous teacher for him.

Such a selfless heart, such an impartial act of government, and such an eclectic reduction of talents, how can Cui Wenqing not be appreciative, admired, and grateful.

It seems that Wang Anshi, a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty who traveled through the world before him, even if he arrives in the Great Qi, he also does not lose the true character of a famous minister, and can write a lofty character who is "not afraid of floating clouds and obscuring his eyes, and is at the top by himself", how can he be an ordinary man?

Similarly, the brothers Yang Huairen and Yang Huaiyu, who learned all this, were also surprised.

Especially Yang Huairen.

He originally thought that Cui Wenqing would be able to worship under Chen Ningmo's door, but it was entirely because Chen Ningmo saw that Cui Wenqing was a member of the Yang family, and he asked hard.

What he didn't expect was that Cui Wenqing completely relied on his own ability to attract the attention of Prime Minister Wang Anshi, and through the official family, Chen Ningmo agreed to accept Cui Wenqing as a student.

All of this is up to Cui Wenqing himself.

Thinking of this, Yang Huairen couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seems that he still underestimated this Cui Wenqing too much, so he will have today's loss.

During the conversation, Zhixiu had already ordered the maid to prepare the wine and delicacies of tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet on the round table, and the burst of wine and coriander fragrance made Cui Wenqing, who was already hungry, scream in his stomach.

When everything was done, Zhixiu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Grandfather, uncle, father, the wine and food are ready, and you can have a banquet at any time." ”

Yang Wenguang bowed slightly, glanced at the sky outside, and sighed lightly: "Wait a minute, she hasn't come yet." ”

When everyone heard it, they naturally knew who Yang Wenguang was referring to by "she".

Only Cui Wenqing asked curiously: "Grandfather, who else do we have to wait for?" ”

Yang Wenguang glanced at Cui Wenqing and sighed lightly: "Who else can there be, naturally it is the wife of your fourth uncle who has never been through the door, and it is also your mentor Chen Ningmo." ”

Cui Wenqing suddenly woke up, and naturally knew that Yang Wenguang's fourth son Yang Huaijin and Chen Ningmo had a marriage contract, and Yang Huaijin died on the battlefield when the two of them had passed three books and six ceremonies, so Chen Ningmo was widowed.

This matter is also a pain in the heart of the entire Yang family.

Therefore, in their hearts, everyone in the Yang family still treats Chen Ningmo as a family member, and whenever there is an important banquet in the family, they will invite Chen Ningmo to come to the banquet, and this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is one of them.

After waiting for a while, the front yard sounded the sound of the steward's affectionate guidance, as well as the sound of soothing and rhythmic footsteps, Cui Wenqing looked up, and it could be seen that Chen Ningmo had already walked in accompanied by the old steward in the house.

is still wearing a long skirt as white as frost and snow, and her hair is like a cloud, which is simply held by a ribbon, Chen Ningmo is just like a snow lotus growing in the sky and mountains, suddenly descending to the world and blooming, making the eyes of everyone present can't stop brightening.

"Haha, is Ning Mo here! Come and sit down. Seeing this, Yang Wenguang already stood up and greeted with a smile.

Chen Ningmo smiled, walked lightly to the hall, and greeted with a smile: "Yang Xianggong, Da Lang Jun, San Lang Jun." ”

Hearing this, Yang Huairen and Yang Huaiyu naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted their father together.

Seeing Cui Wenqing standing in place and saying nothing, Yang Wenguang reminded with a smile: "Wenqing, why don't you still salute when you see your teacher?" Don't think that being a family can dispense with the etiquette of mentoring and apprenticeship. ”

Before Cui Wenqing could speak, Chen Ningmo already shook his hand with a faint smile and said: "Yang Xianggong is polite, in fact, Cui Wenqing and I do not have the name of master and apprentice, so this gift of master and apprentice is completely unnecessary." ”

The words fell, but Yang Wenguang was taken aback, and said in surprise: "What? Didn't you say that Ning Mo you accepted Wen Qing as an apprentice? Isn't that true? ”

Chen Ningmo looked at Cui Wenqing with a straight gaze, and said with a light smile: "As long as he can study hard under my disciple, as for what kind of master and apprentice status, it doesn't matter if you want it or not." ”

"How can that be?" Yang Wenguang suddenly frowned, "There should still be etiquette, and the etiquette system cannot be abolished!" ”

Chen Ningmo smiled noncommittally, but he didn't agree.

Cui Wenqing naturally understood the reason why Chen Ningmo insisted on not accepting him as an apprentice.

You must know that when he was in the White Horse Temple that night, Chen Ningmo decided that he Cui Wenqing was a greedy and lustful person, if she hadn't agreed to the official family earlier, maybe he wouldn't even be able to enter the gate of the Guozijian, and with Chen Ningmo's temperament, he would naturally not recognize him as an apprentice.

At this moment, Zhixiu had already entered the seat and led everyone to take their seats.

Except for the children who set up another table under the care of the maid, the three generations of the Yang family all sat at a round table.

Among them, the first generation of the Yang family has only one head, Yang Wenguang.

The second generation is Yang Huairen and his wife Chen, Yang Huaiyu and his wife Liu, and Chen Ningmo.

The third generation of the Yang family is Yang Zhengwu and his wife, Yang Shikui and Zhexiu, as well as Cui Wenqing and Yang Huaiyu's second son Yang Shiqing.

There were a total of twelve people, but they also sat happily.

The Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, the theme is inseparable from reunion, the Yang family's direct family is already thin, and many Yang family members are dedicated to the battlefield to die, so the Mid-Autumn Festival night is inevitably a little sad.

Especially when everyone thinks of Yang Wenguang's fourth son Yang Huaijin dying on the battlefield, there is a sadness in their hearts.

After the banquet, the men sat together to renew tea and chat, while the women gathered in a circle to play excerpts.
