Chapter Seventy-Seven: Receiving Disciples
Liu Zheng swallowed hard and looked at Li Lang blankly.
Is this the thinking that a five- or six-year-old should have?
There's no way there's a thousand-year-old monster living in it, right?
Although Li Lang's words were a bit idealistic, Liu Zheng couldn't deny that what this little guy said was indeed a strategy to kill many birds with one stone.
It's just that the other party's favor still surprised Liu Zheng, and he recalled that he was five or six years old...... Well, despite the memory of two lifetimes, he still didn't remember one of what it looked like at the age of five or six, but he also knew that it was absolutely impossible to be as young and old as Li Lang.
Thinking back to Cao Chong's claim that the elephant seemed to be at this age, Liu Zheng pressed Xiao Li Lang's shoulder, and still asked in disbelief: "Xiao Lang, you told your uncle, where did you hear these words?" ”
"I didn't hear it, it was all taught by my grandmother, and occasionally Lang would think about it for himself. These words are what Lang himself thinks. ”
Xiao Li Lang pursed his lips and thought for a moment, "Lang thinks these words are not wrong, does uncle think there is something wrong?" If there's something wrong, tell me, and I'll fix it in the future. ”
Liu Zhengyi said in words: "Since you said it, remember to say that you worship your uncle before you want to apprentice, and you are impressed by your uncle's integrity, personality, and appearance, even if you want to be beaten to death, you will say it in this regard, don't say what is in your heart." ”
Geng Qiuyi suddenly burst out laughing, and the Li family and Qin Yueji couldn't help laughing.
"Oh."
Xiao Li Lang nodded as if he didn't understand, and then asked, "But, why can't you say it?" ”
"Because your uncle and I are handsome, high-spirited, and bodhisattva-hearted."
“…… Oh. ”
Xiao Li Lang nodded, and suddenly realized: "Uncle is asking me to offer flattery?" Turns out my uncle likes to hear this......"
His eyes flickered, and he pushed the crutches on the side with a smile: "Uncle, the crutches made by Lang, you can see if they fit, if it is good, Lang will send you a few more in the future, so that you can change it every day." Then what does my uncle like, tell me, if you need a lot of thought, I'll go and find out for you, if it's not suitable for adults, maybe it's suitable for children! Uncle Yan Liang relied on me to send letters to hook up with his aunt last time, and then his aunt's family had to marry ......"
"Xiao Lang, don't be rude!"
Qin Yueji hurriedly interrupted, but everyone was amused by the little guy's flattering appearance and encouraging words, and Liu Zheng didn't expect that Yan Liang would have such an interesting anecdote.
Qin Yueji smiled embarrassedly and said: "Xiao Lang is young, and his words are ......."
"Mother, the child knows how to measure. Grandmother said that my uncle knew the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, and my uncle was definitely not this kind of person. The child just wanted to amuse his uncle, knowing that I was qualified and flexible, and maybe he would accept me. ”
Xiao Li Lang said with a look of grievance: "Grandmother said, where is there any childish words." Either the elders did not teach well, or the children did not obey the discipline. Lang felt that he was doing the right thing, at most Uncle Yan Liang was wrong, but this Uncle Yan Liang himself was showing off...... So don't scold me with childish words. ”
Liu Shi Li and Geng Qiuyi laughed again, and after a long time, Liu Zheng touched Xiao Li Lang's head, "Since you know how to be flexible, you must worship under my door?" I studied under Fan Yang Lu Shi Lu Zhi Lu Zigan, and now Lingbei Zhonglang will be ordered to beg for thieves, and his mentor is from the great Confucian Ma Rong, Ma Rong is a famous general Ma Yuan from the grandson, and Zheng Xuan Zheng is the same brother. Zheng Xuanzheng, everyone knows, right? Bo Gu Tongjin created his own 'Zheng Xue' character. It's Liu, and you're also a member of the Han family, do you think your identity is worthy of my identity, can you study under me? ”
These words seemed a little mean, Li frowned and shouted, "Deran, you ......" but Qin Yueji and Geng Qiuyi hurriedly stopped her and whispered to her.
Li Shi also recalled when he heard this, knowing that Liu Zheng's words were mixed with the meaning of accepting apprentices, he couldn't help but glared at Liu Zheng with resentment, thinking that the apprentices would not speak well, and even said these vicious words to test the school children.
But Liu Zheng actually has no choice, this kid is so cute, with a flexible mind and knows how to be flexible, the key is that Xiao Li Lang's plan to kill many birds with one stone really makes Liu Zheng very excited.
Of course, the more important thing is that Xiao Li Lang's intelligence attribute is 45, if there is no reference at this level, of course, it will not reflect the power, but Liu Zhengke has not forgotten that Qian Feng, who is the most anxious about the IQ of the Suwei Camp, is only 45 intelligence, and he was still a small leader in the secret passage before, and the age difference between the two is at least twenty years......
So such a potential stock worth cultivating, Liu Zheng is also ready to accept it, anyway, it is impossible for him to lead the troops to fight in the future, and it is impossible to bring Xiao Li Lang with him, it is a big deal to throw it to Liu Shi to teach, even if he really reaches the age of following him, Liu Zheng usually pays more attention to his words, and then lets the people around him share the burden of teaching Li Lang, it should not be a big problem.
It's just that Liu Zheng is most worried about the question he just asked.
Since ancient times, the scholars have also paid attention to their identity and background, and the ugly point is that the scholars monopolized knowledge, and while safeguarding their own interests, they cut off the opportunity to drill into the cold.
Even if he is a scholar from a humble family, he must have the background of a scholar.
is like Liu Zheng, his ancestor is a prince, but now his family has fallen into a cold family, but the identity of the Han family can still allow Lu Zhi to accept him as an apprentice.
As for Li Lang's identity, Liu Zheng turned out the memories of his old mother's clan in his mind, that is, he pushed up for hundreds of years, and he was also an ordinary person facing the loess with his back to the sky.
If you want to make an exception for Li Lang to enter the circle of scholars, you can actually do it, but at least it is not something that a little-known figure like Liu Zheng can do, so once this apprentice admits it, it is not necessarily a good thing for Liu Zheng.
After all, once the master admits it, there is no possibility of "don't shout in public, shout in private" in these years, and Liu Zheng can also perfunctory in the name of martial arts inheritance, but if he can say this, I don't know if those scholars will think so.
And Liu Zheng also remembered that he had apprenticed to Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi had a special record to explain his teacher's inheritance, and this matter was also reported by Liu Shi and filed in Zongzheng Temple.
If he accepts apprentices, even if he conceals it temporarily, one day Li Lang will appear in the eyes of scholars.
At that time, Lu Zhi and the people in Zongzheng Temple knew that Li Lang was a complete poor family, if Li Lang had achieved something, it would be fine, if he had no achievements, Liu Zheng's character would be easy to question.
Liu Zheng was still thinking about the stakes, Xiao Li Lang had already finished thinking about it, and said: "Lang has read the genealogy, and his ancestors are all good people who keep to themselves......"
Seeing that he lowered his head and thought about it again, Liu Zheng frowned and said, "If this answer is spoken, do I have to accept half of the world as apprentices?" What's more, the writing of the sect is naturally a good thing for your ancestors, who will write the matter of burning, killing, and plundering on the genealogy to be scolded by future generations? ”
"Uncle, Lang hasn't finished yet."
Xiao Li Lang scratched his head and said with a smile: "But the ancestors are all farmers." With the sky on his head, his feet on the ground, he lived in every dynasty steadily, and did not make any acts of etiquette, witnessing the changes and prosperity of the past dynasties. My Li family has been able to last so long, isn't it blessed by God? Since God has blessed me, and my uncle is a relative of the Son of Heaven favored by God, shouldn't he also bless me and take me as an apprentice? ”
He paused and continued, "But to be honest, Lang doesn't really believe that what is written on the family tree is right, but what Lang sees and hears must be right. Lang saw someone come to visit, saying that his grandfather killed barbarians in Bingzhou back then, was not afraid of death, defended my Han country, and highlighted the prestige of the Han people. I have seen my father search for medicine and save Uncle Liu, the patriarch of the Han family, and I have also seen my father seriously injured, just to survive the Han clan. ”
"And now, Lang is apprenticed in the Han clan place, and he also wants to inherit the spirit of the family, and he will be a teacher and a father for life in the future, Lang will serve his uncle like a father, and his uncle, the Han family, must have the spirit of the Han dynasty that has lasted for four hundred years, and Lang, as a citizen of the Han Dynasty, can also inherit this spirit."
The faster Xiao Li Lang spoke, the more fluent he became, "What's more, my uncle said that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband." Lang is also a puppet, now that he is young and can't do big things, he chose a good teacher to teach me, and worked hard to become a talent to repay the big man. Moreover, the teacher I worship is a member of the Han family, and I will definitely work diligently for the Han dynasty in the future. Lang knew that his identity was humble, but he also heard that Wuhou Fan was just a dog slaughterer back then, and then he didn't make a contribution to my Han Dynasty and open up the country? Now that the moth thieves are advocating chaos, Lang is still after the martial arts court, and he will definitely be able to contribute to the stability of the country! ”
In the end, Xiao Li Lang said with a humble attitude: "In the end, for the sake of Lang and his uncle, who are as handsome as his uncle, who are high-spirited and bright, and have a bodhisattva's heart, and who are more ambitious than his uncle, my uncle will accept Lang as a disciple!" ”
Liu Zheng was already dumbfounded.
Since he was a child, Li Lang talked about God's blessing so that he could also be blessed by the Han family, and then he talked about inheriting the spirit of Li Yan, Li Cheng and even him, the Han family, and then he expressed his loyalty and ambition, and finally came to a flamboyant ridicule, the more Liu Zheng listened, the more surprised he became, and the more he listened, the more excited he became, is this really only five or six years old?
It's a prodigy!
Liu Zheng calmed down and hurriedly pulled up Xiao Li Lang, who stubbornly knelt down: "Uncle, if you don't agree with me, you can't afford to ......"
Liu Zhengzheng said: "Change your words!" Call me what? ”
"Huh?"
Xiao Li Lang was stunned, the three of Li suddenly smiled, and Li rubbed Xiao Li Lang's head, "Change your words, just call the teacher." ”
Xiao Li Lang was still a little incredulous: "Really? ”
Liu Zheng smiled and nodded: "That's nature!" ”
"Student Li Lang, meet the teacher!"
Xiao Li Lang hurriedly knelt down and wanted to bow again, Liu Zheng pulled him up with a smile and dusted his knees, "Okay, since ancient times, apprenticeship has not been included in the etiquette, everything is simple." It's good that you and I recognize this relationship, and we don't need to make any big gifts. ”
He looked at Li with a smile, "Mother, in this case, I have to write another letter to the teacher." There is a genius Xiaolang's words, which are handed over to the teacher to explain my inheritance, and I also have a clear conscience. If you want to be a teacher, when you meet a child like Xiaolang, you will also see the joy of hunting, and it shouldn't be difficult to write on the list of teachers. ”
He looked at Xiao Li Lang again, "But in the future, you still have to study hard, and you can't say that you are rich and handsome, well, you usually have to boast about being a teacher, and you can also come up with one or two small words to teach you." ”
Everyone was amused by Liu Zheng's words, and Qin Yueji thanked Zuofu and said, "I have to thank Uncle Xiao Lang for letting Xiao Lang mess around." ”
