Zhou Zhi hurriedly bowed down and said humbly, "Zhou Zhi, a kid from Baiyue Village, has seen Mr. Qu!" ”

Qu Renbin didn't speak immediately, a pair of old eyes stared at Zhou Zhi carefully, as if he wanted to shoot through Zhou Zhi's heart and see everything about Zhou Zhi clearly, but Zhou Zhi had no choice but to bow and wait.

After a long time, Qu Renbin said calmly, "Excuse me!" ”

Zhou Zhi straightened his waist at this time, and after bowing for a long time just now, his waist couldn't help but feel some pain at this time, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but secretly scold, it seems that this old gentleman Qu is also an old man with a strange temperament.

Kou Peihan smiled at the corner of his mouth, and didn't pay attention to Qu Renbin, let alone thoughtful, but looked for a chair for himself, sat down unceremoniously, and then slowly shook the folding fan, looking around in the room, looking like he didn't care about himself.

Qu Renbin didn't seem to mind Kou Peihan's rude performance, and Zhou Zhi even noticed that a slight smile appeared on the corner of Qu Renbin's mouth.

Then Qu Renbin asked expressionlessly, "Zhou Zhi, old man, let me ask you, when did you start studying?" ”

Zhou Zhi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied, "Mr. Hui's words, the kid has been studying since September last year. ”

"What books have you read since September last year? Let's talk to the old man. ”

"Last year, the boy first read the four books, and then read the Five Classics, and this year he read some subsets of the classics and histories, and various commentaries, and also read some Shiwen, and learned to write some Bagu Wen." Zhou Zhi didn't dare to hide it, and said truthfully.

"Who are you learning from when you read and write Baguwen?" Qu Renbin still asked very calmly.

Except for when he greeted Zhou Zhi just now, he seemed to make things difficult for Zhou Zhi, and the rest of the time his tone was gentle, and at this time, Qu Renbin was very amiable in Zhou Zhi's heart.

Zhou Zhi said casually, "Reading mainly depends on the kid to read by himself, but Baguwen has received a lot of guidance from Wang Ding, Wang Lao Xiucai, Fan Jin, Lu Xingchuan, Che Lang and other brothers. ”

Qu Renbin nodded slightly, his face remained unchanged, he reached out and took a few pages of paper from the bookcase, pointed to the paper and said, "You did this eight-strand essay of 'Zi Yue'?" ”

"It was the kid who did it!" Zhou Zhidao.

As soon as Zhou Zhi's words fell, he only heard "Knock! With a bang, Qu Renbin's fist slammed into the table, so that the tea cups on the table made a loud noise, and he almost fell off the table.

Qu Renbin's face was distorted and deformed in an instant, his appearance was very terrifying, obviously he was really angry, and roared at Zhou Zhi, "Get out!" ”

Zhou Zhi was stunned, what's wrong? This old man is really weird in temperament, he was kind just now, how can he say that he will turn his face, this is not even a little foreshadowing, it is really a dog face. Could it be that when people are old, no matter how much knowledge they have, they will become this virtue?

Not only Zhou Zhi, but even Kou Peihan, who was idle and had nothing to do, was also startled, she glanced at Qu Renbin, and pursed her lips at Qu Renbin with disdain.

Zhou Zhi looked up at Qu Renbin, originally came with a great hope of letting Qu Renbin give advice, but he didn't think that he would be kicked out without saying a word, and Zhou Zhi's heart became extremely cold in an instant.

The atmosphere in the living room was also awkward.

Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment, and his stubborn temper came up, and he turned around and was about to go out.

Kou Peihan suddenly said, "Zhou Zhi, didn't you just leave?" Don't forget that you're here to ask this old man for advice. ”

According to Zhou Zhi's temperament, if Qu Renbin stopped him at this time, he would definitely not look back. But it was Kou Peihan, it was not that Zhou Zhi was born lustful, but that this Kou Peihan had already occupied a very important position in his heart, and her words made Zhou Zhi hesitate.

Yes, I am here to study, and if I want to succeed in the imperial examination in the future, I must ask for a famous teacher. Although this Qu Renbin is not a famous teacher, it seems that he is the only one in the entire Qingdu County.

Moreover, he is the teacher of the county school, and Zhou Zhi learned from Che Lang and others that even Chen Guangyao, the magistrate of Qingdu County, wants to give him some face. He should be crucial in his first pass of the Xiucai county exam.

Alas! Endure the anger of the moment, and listen to why he is angry? What the hell is he going to do with himself.

After thinking about it like this, Zhou Zhi's mood stabilized a little and slowly turned around.

Kou Peihan's small mouth pursed slightly, and said to Qu Renbin, "I said that you are a strange old man, what is the reason for driving him out for no reason?" If you have something to say, you old man's temper is really getting more and more violent! ”

Kou Peihan sat very casually like that, counting Qu Renbin one by one, the strange thing was that Qu Renbin was not annoyed, but smiled at her faintly, "Girl, how do you interact with such a person, the old man asks you, who is he?" ”

Kou Peihan's face flushed, who is Zhou Zhi? It's hard to say. I don't get close to each other without any reason, I just met a few times by chance.

"This ...... This, he's a friend of mine! Kou Peihan hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

In ancient times, men and women could be ordinary friends. In ancient times, it seems that it was rare for men and women to call friends, and the deep meaning of this should be understood.

Qu Renbin was stunned for a moment, and said, "Girl, you can't be deceived by this country boy." The old man looks at this country boy who seems to be loyal, but in fact he is a swagger and deceitful who does not learn and has no skills, and he came here to find me, just to sell his reputation and make a name. ”

Kou Peihan listened and wondered, "How can you old man talk like this?" I don't think he lied to me! ”

Zhou Zhi is also secretly slandering at this time, am I a swagger? Who did I fool? The most annoying thing is that this old guy still said this to me in front of Kou Peihan, what a special thing is out of nothing!

At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from the inside, saying, "What Brother Qu said just now is not bad, this wild boy is indeed unlearned, and he is a swagger and deceitful. ”

As soon as this voice fell, two people stepped out from inside, the previous one was about sixty years old, with a pale complexion, and a pair of small eyes, but he was staring at Zhou Zhi, and there was a bit of anger in his eyes. Zhou Zhi didn't know him.

Behind him was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old man wearing a blue shirt and a square scarf, not very tall, as soon as he came out, he looked at Zhou Zhi fiercely, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of schadenfreude.

He is Cheng Dingbang, who is known as the "Qingdu Divine Power".

"Girl, do you hear me? Even Cheng Kecheng in Gaochang Town said that he was a liar, don't you believe it? Qu Renbin smiled at Kou Peihan.

Cheng Dingbang, who was beside Cheng Ke, said even more helpfully, "This Zhou Zhi is a hillbilly, usually grows vegetables and sells vegetables, a rural farmer is vulgar and unheard, how can he read so many books in a few months, and write such a good eight-strand essay, it's really ridiculous."

Uncle Qu, a wild boy like this, why don't you let someone arrest him, admonish and rectify him, and promote the righteousness of my scholars! ”
