When Li Songran returned to his yard with a few local chronicles, Chengjun had been waiting for a long time. Li Songran was a little strange, Chengjun rarely came to Hanhui Pavilion, and of course, he didn't go home much before.

Seeing Li Songran coming back, Cheng Jun saluted and asked, "Uncle Cousin, I wonder if Cheng Jun can ask Uncle Cousin about something?" Cheng Jun knew that it was a bit rude to inquire about the elders, but Cheng Jun really wanted to know, please forgive your cousin. ”

Li Songran smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" As he asked, he took him to the study, and served some snacks and rose dew.

"Uncle cousin, Chengjun wants to know something about his uncle." Cheng Jun replied respectfully.

"Oh, what?" Li Songran looked at him strangely.

Cheng Jun thought for a while: "Although Cheng Jun has always known that the West Courtyard belongs to his uncle, why didn't the family talk about him before?" Chengjun also asked his mother this question, but his mother said that his uncle was not a good example and didn't know better. Did he do something bad and the family wouldn't let him come back? ”

"Of course not, how can I say it......" Li Songran was a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to explain: "It should be said that he did suffer some grievances back then." And then, in a fit of rage, well, ran away from home, which of course wasn't right. ”

"Then why didn't he come back?" Cheng Jun continued to ask.

"He probably didn't want to. It's just ......, you have to ask him specifically. "Could it be that because my uncle doesn't like him very much, he doesn't dare to go back? Of course you can't say that. Li Songran looked at Cheng Jun and threw the question to Nangong Jin.

Cheng Jun blinked his big eyes and looked at Li Songran: "So, did he come back this time because he didn't have money for treatment?" ”

Li Songran laughed: "He has an industry under his name." At least my cousin thinks he should be able to start from scratch. Although it is not good to say this, it is thanks to his serious injury this time that we have the opportunity to take him back to Binh Duong. ”

Chengjun didn't know what to think, hesitated for a while, and asked again: "Has he ever read?" ”

"Haha, when we were children, we also read it together, and your mountain chief taught us back then. Later, he must have read it, at least this section of Quanzhou Yifeng Academy will not be wrong. Li Songran thought of the information he had found out about 'Luo Yunshi' before, and said with a smile: "I think he may be famous, but it's not in Nangong Jin's name." ”

"Fame? Show talent? ”

Li Songran shook his head, not knowing why Cheng Jun was asking this, and said with a smile: "It is estimated that it is Tongjinshi." Actually, I'm not sure, he didn't say it, you can ask him. ”

"The mountain chief is just lifting people. Uncle is a fellow jinshi?! Chengjun said unhappily: "Then why do you want to tell me that you haven't read?" ”

"Oh, that's what he told you?" Li Songran laughed again, "I guess because he thinks the child is troublesome and is worried that you have too many problems, so he will directly use this to block your mouth." ”

Cheng Jun thought for a while, "The mountain chief said that he has a splendid belly and a talent for governing the country. Cousin, can I let him teach me? ”

"Governing the country?" It doesn't seem bad to say this, Li Songran nodded: "He may not be here." However, you can't ask me, you have to ask him. ”

Cheng Jun saluted again: "Thank you cousin, Cheng Jun will go and ask him." ”

**********

But Chengjun's arrival in the West Courtyard was not so smooth. Mother Fu blocked him at the door of the West Courtyard and repeatedly said, "Young Master has a lunch break, little Young Master, please go back." This made Chengjun wait at the gate of the West Courtyard for more than an hour, until Nangong Jin went out.

Chengjun stopped him and saluted respectfully: "Chengjun, please teach me uncle." ”

"What?" Nangong Jin looked at him in surprise.

"Chengjun asked my uncle to teach me how to govern the country." Cheng Jun still said respectfully.

"What?" Nangong Jin felt that she had misheard.

"Chengjun has been waiting here for more than an hour, just to ask my uncle to teach me." Cheng Jun saw that Nangong Jin didn't agree immediately, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart, but he still showed an attitude of humbly asking for advice.

"I didn't make you wait. Besides, teach you? I don't have the ability to do that. Nangong Jin planned to bypass him, but she really didn't like this kid.

Chengjun still stopped him, anxious: "You have it." I know, you have a reputation, and not everyone can enter Quanzhou Yifeng Academy! Uncle, Chengjun wants you to teach me! ”

"Who told you?" Nangong Jin asked casually, still wanting to bypass him.

Cheng Jun was stunned: "In short, I, I just know ......." "I didn't say Li Songran.

"Don't talk nonsense. I've never been out of an exam room, I've never read a book. Nangong Jin walked away quickly, with the intention of avoiding him.

"No, no, you said in Fuqin Xuan that day, you read it at Yifeng Academy." Chengjun followed, almost crying.

"Oh, that's bragging." Nangong Jin didn't want to say it casually.

"I know my uncle doesn't want to teach me. But, uncle, I'm smart and studious, really. Uncle, the mountain chief has a lot of respect for you. You, you just teach me, I don't have to go to the academy. Chengjun ran to him again, he had never begged for someone like this in his life.

"You think too highly of me, I can't afford to be charged with such a big crime as not going to the academy. It's rare for you to come back, and you shouldn't spend more time with your mother. With that, go around him and continue walking.

"Uncle," Chengjun grabbed him and didn't let him go, pleading with a pleading face: "Uncle, you can do whatever you want me to do, I'm very obedient, as long as you are willing to teach me." Uncle, Chengjun begs you! ”

"You don't have to beg me. I'm not your father, I'm not your husband, I don't have this obligation. It's better to keep a distance between relatives, and I don't like children. Nangong Jin tried her best to understand with him calmly.

"But, but, you made Cheng Rui a lot of bamboo dragonflies and a small house, and also, and made him a supper ......." Chengjun said with a crying voice.

Nangong Jin sighed and said, "You are my eldest brother's son, you are polite, I am polite, if you do this again, do you want your father to lose face, or do you want me to be unkind to you?" ”

Chengjun was full of grievances and unwilling to let go, and looked at Nangong Jin with some anger, but unfortunately, Nangong Jin didn't care at all, and soon disappeared.

**********

Nangong Jin accompanied Zhou Tang and Nangong Wan all afternoon, picked out a set of tea sets from the kiln from the library, took some Tieguanyin, and the three of them arrived at Fuqin Xuan early, and Nangong Jin started to make tea.

"Ah Jin, are you married?" Nangong Wan looked at his posture of making tea and couldn't help asking.

"Why do you ask this?" Nangong Jin smiled and handed over a cup of tea.

"You're so handsome, are there a lot of women?" Nangong Wan's expression was serious.

Nangong Jin laughed: "It's really my sister." If everyone had such an eye as you, I guess my children were running all over the ground. ”

"Isn't my son handsome? At that time, Pu was ...... amazing. Zhou Tang thought that Nangong Pu was able to attract all kinds of onlookers as soon as he went on the street, and he thought it was very funny.

"Big brother, hehe, I still want to get married, so I won't be stupid enough to stand with him in public."

"Why don't you get married?" Nangong Wan continued to ask.

"Because I'm more inward-looking, generally speaking, it's not easy for the future Taishan Lord to see."

Nangong Wan covered his mouth and laughed: "I really don't know if you are being humble or praising yourself." ”

Zhou Tang said with a smile: "This banquet, my mother also invited a lot of famous ladies, and when the time comes, find an opportunity, and you will also look at each other." ”

"Okay. I'm afraid that I will take a fancy to others, and they will not like me. Wouldn't that be embarrassing? ”

The three of them talked and laughed, and after a while, Li Songran also joined in, and finally talked about navigation from the blind date, but unfortunately no one understood navigation, so they had to go to the bookstore to find some books the next day. Nangong Wan was also interested and wanted to go with the two, and finally the four of them agreed to go to the bookstore first, and then go to Duling's medical hall to have a look. Not long after, Nangong Pu and his wife and two children also arrived, almost turning shopping into a family outing. It's just that Chengjun seems to be preoccupied, and almost no one pays attention except for Shen Xueying who asked in a whisper. Until Nangong Dingkang arrived, everyone was seated.

Suddenly, Chengjun seemed to have made a lot of determination, stood up from his seat, walked to Nangong Jin and knelt down: "Please accept Chengjun as an apprentice, Nangong Chengjun is willing to serve Master." ”

For a while, the audience was silent.

"Please accept Chengjun as an apprentice!" Chengjun pleaded again and kowtowed.

Nangong Jin hurriedly got out of the way: "What are you doing here?" Get up! ”

"Chengjun," Nangong Pu was also startled: "You get up first." ”

"If the master refuses to accept Chengjun as an apprentice, Chengjun will not get up." Chengjun said stubbornly.

"I'm not your master, and you won't change anything by doing this. Get up! Nangong Jin was a little angry.

Shen Xueying hurriedly ran to Chengjun's side and wanted to pull him up: "Chengjun, eat now, don't talk about this, okay?" Listen to my mother's words and get up first. ”

Cheng Jun always knelt and looked at Nangong Jin unrelentingly: "Master, just accept Cheng Jun as an apprentice!" As he spoke, he cried: "Chengjun knows, I'm not likable and no one plays with me, but I really want to be a useful person." Master, Chengjun's ambition is to rule the country and level the world, and I ask Master to accept me as an apprentice and teach me! ”

"If you have this ambition, then study hard in the academy, and your husband will teach you. I really can't teach you, what else do you want me to say? For the sake of face, Nangong Jin tried to speak in a gentle tone, but his words were not very polite.

Nangong Pu said solemnly: "Chengjun get up!" If you really want to apprentice to a teacher, this is not the case, and the family will discuss this matter. If you are like this, you will be regarded as a threat to your elders, and your father will ask for family law! ”

Shen Xueying anxiously pulled Chengjun, and seeing that he still didn't move, she had to whisper in his ear: "Your father will discuss this matter with your uncle, don't you do this, get up to eat first, okay?" ”

Nangong Dingkang finally spoke, with a serious expression: "Get up and eat." ”

Chengjun wiped his tears, got up silently, and sat back in his seat.
