Chapter 113: Liu Xiaoman's apprenticeship
Lu Fengmian looked at Liu Chunsheng, not because he looked down on his subordinates, he was a person who loved talents, as long as there were people with real talents and real learning, he loved them very much, and he did not judge them by the other party's background.
Lu Fengmian said: "The old man came to visit friends nearby today, and when he came out, he heard that Xiaoman was teaching these children to read nursery rhymes, and he felt novel for a while, so he stopped to listen, and the more he listened, the more he felt that the nursery rhymes here were very exquisite, all-encompassing, and catchy, so he was so excited that he forgot to say hello to you, so he took him away, and suddenly remembered that it was very inappropriate to do so, so he brought him back, and you were frightened." ”
He said that he was going to bow down to Wei Zhao and the others.
Now that he knew his identity, Wei Zhao naturally didn't dare to really let him bow down, and hurriedly supported him and said, "Lu Shanchang doesn't need to be like this. ”
Since it was just a false alarm, several people naturally relaxed, and suddenly heard Liu Xiaoman say: "Mother, don't cry, Grandpa Lu said that he wants to accept me as a disciple and let me study in the academy!" ”
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, although Changshan Academy accepted students without looking at their family backgrounds, but not everyone could get in if they wanted to.
Before entering Changshan Academy, you must first pass the assessment of the college, and after reaching the standard, the college will also investigate the student's family history.
Even Zhou Jian has never studied in Changshan Academy, which shows the strictness of his assessment.
Under such strict enrollment conditions, the "admission rate" of Changshan Academy is naturally relatively high, and the more famous it is, the students from nearby state capitals have also come to study in Luoxiang Mansion.
In this cycle, the natural admissions standards are becoming more and more stringent.
And to be a disciple of the mountain chief, it must go through a strict review, which can be said to be one in ten thousand.
Now that Liu Xiaoman is only eight years old, he can be accepted as a disciple by Lu Shanchang, how can everyone not be happy?
Liu Chunsheng and Qian had already knelt on the ground, and they also pulled this Liu Xiaoman to kneel down and kowtow to Lu Fengmian.
Lu Fengmian stood upright, accepted their salutes, and then said, "Get up!" The old man came today, one to collect apprentices, and the other to find Wei Gongzi and talk to him. ”
Wei Zhao hurriedly said: "Since Lu Shanchang has accepted Xiaoman as an apprentice, it is better to stay here for a light meal, and we can also have a chat as a gift." ”
Lu Fengmian nodded naturally.
The Qian family got busy and went out with Li Wan'er to Zhang Luo, this is a great joy, it should be celebrated, celebrated.
Wei Zhao took Lu Fengmian out of the gatehouse and went to the flower hall where the guests were entertained, and the others followed.
When they arrived at the flower hall, several people sat down, and Lu Fengmian said: "The old man heard Xiaoman say that Wei Gongzi is his enlightenment teacher, and the "Three Character Classic" is also made by Wei Gongzi, I don't know if it's a fact?" ”
Wei Zhao nodded, he deserved to be the enlightener, but the "Three Character Classic" was not, but if he really said no, he couldn't say how he came here, so he had to admit it with a cheeky face, he thought to himself, anyway, what I changed is also mine.
Lu Fengmian nodded, and said: "The old man has already tested Xiaoman's homework, and found that he is not only familiar with enlightenment books, but also very proficient in arithmetic. ”
Wei Zhao nodded again, although Liu Xiaoman was basically taught by Li Wan'er in the back, but Wan'er was also his student, and he taught it in the final analysis!
He nodded carelessly, but Lu Fengmian's heart was already turbulent, in this way, Wei Zhao is really a rare talent in the world, and the "Three Character Classic" is not a furrow in the chest, and a person with a full stomach cannot make it.
The new style of arithmetic is even unheard of, even children like Liu Xiaoman can do without abacus, just mental arithmetic is faster than him.
Coupled with Fang Cai's painting skills, he doesn't need to see people, just listen to people's descriptions, he can paint such a vivid painting, if a real person stands in front of him, then he can paint exactly the same?
He was horrified in his heart, and the beard on his face curled up one after another, if such a talent could be recruited to teach in the academy, he was afraid that the academy would be able to create more brilliance and become the first academy in the entire Great Zhou!
Thinking like this, he also asked, "Wei Gongzi's talent, the old man admires it, and sighs to himself, the old man is old, I don't know if Wei Gongzi is willing to come to Changshan Academy to teach, and take over the burden of the old man in the future?" ”
Lu Fengmian had already determined Wei Zhao's character and talent through Liu Xiaoman, and felt that since he had the heart to invite Wei Zhao to the academy, he should show sincerity, and there was no need for the temptation of hypocrisy and wrongdoing.
Wei Zhao was stunned, what does this mean? Let him go to Changshan Academy to be the head of the mountain?
I heard that "recruiting talents" was popular in ancient times, but I haven't heard of it before I met and pulled people to inherit the mantle!
"It's not a secret, I'm a doctor in the next, if I say that I can cure the disease and save people, I may be able to try my best, but teaching and educating people, the idea of being clever is not enough. The mountain chief is loving, and Wei Zhao understands it, but Wei Zhao refuses to accept it. ”
Hearing his refusal, Lu Fengmian was slightly disappointed, and then asked: "You are a doctor, and your surname is Wei, could it be that you are the Wei Shen Doctor who can disembowel and cure diseases that has been rumored in the city recently?" ”
Wei Zhao hurriedly said: "It's just not here, but the divine doctor doesn't dare to be a doctor, it's just that he knows some novel medical skills!" ”
Lu Fengmian stretched out his hand and twisted his beard, and his heart was even more surprised, he actually knew how to heal, I don't know what else he didn't understand?
With such a talent, if you can't come to their academy, it's really a big loss for the academy!
However, he was suddenly not in a hurry in his heart, now that Liu Xiaoman had become his disciple, he would naturally have a reason to come to the apprentice's house more in the future, and persuade him a few more times, even if he didn't want to be a mountain chief, at least let him be a gentleman, and teach that kind of new arithmetic and other knowledge when he was free.
Now that it is pressing, it is easy for him to refuse more firmly, and I am afraid that there will be no room for maneuver in the future.
While talking, Li Wan'er came and invited them to the dining room for dinner.
When I arrived at the dining room, there were all kinds of dishes on the table, pigeons and birds flying in the sky, pigs and sheep running on the ground, fish and shrimp swimming in the water.
Wei Zhao said in his heart, it seems that the Qian family is really happy, she is so willing to spend money, she usually buys vegetables, although she doesn't spend her own money, she has to be careful in her calculations, and she only buys enough food for the family, and today she is so generous.
Good food is naturally indispensable for good wine, he instructed Zhuzi to fetch a jar of wine, and then put on a set of fine wine utensils brought by Father Fang, and then began to sit down.
For them, drinking some wine or tasting tea is a manifestation of identity, and it is also a kind of gentleman's gentle style.
Lu Fengmian has been a Beijing official, and his knowledge is naturally not small, but he has never eaten half of the dishes on this table, and some of the practices have not even been seen, he stared at a dry pot with a fire underneath for a long time, obviously he didn't see the charcoal fire, and he didn't smell the smoke, why is there a long flame, and the vegetables in the pot are sizzling, and the fragrance is fragrant.
He asked himself if he was a man of heavy appetites, but at the moment he was a little eager to try the delicacies that filled the table.
