Turning around, Zheng Yanqing walked up to Li Ji.

"Teacher, the disciple is back!"

In front of the immediate, Yanqing was as respectful as ever.

But for Lee Ki, the mood is very different from before. The child in front of him may be his own flesh and blood!

Although neither Dou Wei nor Dou Xian was sure of this, Li Ji firmly believed that Yanqing was his son.

I didn't know it before, but now I know, how can Li Ji stay calm.

But he also knows that if he tells the truth at this time, let alone whether Yan Qing will believe it, even if Yan Qing believes it, what can he do? In the end, wouldn't it hurt him to let Yanqing follow him around?

Thinking of this, Li Ji could only forcibly suppress this impulse and looked at Zheng Yanqing blankly.

"Teacher ......"

Zheng Yanqing felt that Li Ji seemed to be a little strange today, and he stepped forward to salute for a long time, but he didn't see Li Ji speak.

Sure enough, he was in a bad mood, and I don't know who provoked him...... Zheng Yanqing didn't think too much about it, because Dou Fengjie had already woken up. So, he stepped forward and called softly. Li Ji came to his senses from his daze.

"Yanqing, you're back!"

"Yes, the disciple is back...... I also want to be grateful to the teacher for saving my life. ”

If Li Ji hadn't found Dou Wei that night, Zheng Yanqing would have become a dead corpse by now. For his teacher, he is grateful from the bottom of his heart. One is a teacher, and a father for life. Yan Qing didn't know who his father was, but in his heart, he faintly regarded Li Ji as his father.

Li Ji supported Zheng Yanqing and looked at the child carefully.

But no matter how you look at it, I just don't think I can see enough. couldn't hold back the impulse in his heart for a while, and hugged Yanqing up.

"Teacher ......"

Zheng Yanqing exclaimed, not understanding why Li Ji was like this.

At this time, Li Ji also reacted, and said with a forced smile: "I didn't expect that I, Li Ji, would accept a student in my life, and I would be so good." ”

Yes, if you are any other person, you will find that your beloved disciple has become famous one day, and you can't help but feel happy. Li Ji's explanation, Yan Qing no longer doubted. Because he can understand the pride and pride of being a gentleman.

Putting Yanqing down, Li Ji took Zheng Yanqing back to his residence.

After the two sat down, Li Ji looked at Yan Qing, who was sitting precariously, and said softly: "Yan Qing, do you have any plans to come back this time?" ”

"Yes!"

Zheng Yanqing said: "Listen to Mr.'s teachings, practice martial arts to strengthen your body, that's all." ”

"Why, don't you regret it?"

"Regret what?"

Looking at Yan Qing's innocent appearance, Li Ji felt a sense of comfort in his heart.

"Yanqing, when you apprenticed, I said that if you regret it one day, you can no longer recognize me as a teacher. At that time, I didn't know that you were the famous goose boy. Now that your identity has been revealed, and the Zheng family values you very much, and worship me, an unknown person, as a gentleman, but it does not match your reputation. ”

Li Ji is now thinking about Yanqing.

How do you know that Zheng Yanqing is in a hurry...... This gentleman with a story, who can invite the elders of the Dou family, obviously also has a strong background. He felt that Li Ji's words were testing him. Although the Zheng family values him, they want to use him more, which Yanqing knows very well. But he couldn't refuse, and he was unwilling to be used as a pawn by the Zheng family.

Therefore, he must take advantage of the opportunity of the Zheng family to praise him to gain more fame in order to receive greater attention.

Li Ji has no interest in him, and he is really good to him.

Before Zheng Yanqing can gain greater fame, he needs to have a protective umbrella.

There is no doubt that Leeki can provide him with this protection. At this time, leaving aside the relationship with Li Ji, that is crazy!

So he hurriedly knelt down, "Teacher, don't you want a disciple anymore?" ”

Li Ji's heart warmed, and his nose was a little sour, "Yanqing, how could I not want you, I'm thinking about you." ”

"One is a teacher, a father for life, a disciple is only willing to be a disciple of the teacher, and other things are not willing to think about more......"

"Why?" Lee Ki asked rhetorically.

yes, why?

Zheng Yanqing hesitated for a moment and said softly: "When the disciple's reputation is not known, only the teacher does not discriminate against the disciple's nine-rank background. He also took his disciples as his disciples and taught them wholeheartedly...... Although the disciples are young, they can distinguish between good and bad. The teacher is really good to the disciple, and now that the disciple has a little false name, he dislikes the teacher, so what is the difference between it and a beast? ”

Li Ji's heart was stirred: My son, you are the only flesh and blood in the world for your father, how can I not care about you?

He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice seem calm.

But if you listen carefully, you can still hear the trembling in Li Ki's words.

"Yanqing, can you have this heart, for ...... Shi is already very happy. Li Jiyi was so excited that he almost said the word 'father', but fortunately, he reacted in time and didn't show his feet. He said: "It's just that I don't know when I'm going to leave here, and I don't know when I'm going to leave here." If you are willing to call me a teacher, I will teach me with all my heart.

You'll grow up, though. In the future, the teacher will find another gentleman for you, and you don't have to refuse at that time. ”

Yan Qing was stunned, raised his head and looked at Li Ji suspiciously.

The teacher is talking today, why is it so weird?

He hesitated, "The student is willing to obey the teacher's arrangement, but please ask the teacher, don't drive the student away." ”

"Hahaha, I'll never kick you away!"

Li Ji said softly, his nose was sour, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist. He hurriedly lowered his head and dipped his cuffs.

"But from today onwards, I'll be stricter with you."

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the early summer afternoon, the weather is already a little hot.

Li Ji and Zheng Yanqing did not start class immediately, but sat in the small courtyard, looking at the cyan vines that climbed all over the courtyard wall, and said a word.

A gust of wind blew, and the orange blossoms on the vines swayed.

Zheng Yanqing moved out of the tea stove and tea kettle from the house, sat next to Li Ji, and crushed the tea leaves into powder.

"Teacher, today I met another person."

"Oh, who is it?"

Most of the time, it was Zheng Yanqing who spoke, and Li Ji solved his doubts. Although he has lived in this era for six years, when it comes to understanding, ten words are not as good as one Li Ji. He told Li Ji about what happened in Xingyang one by one, and Li Ji immediately knew Zheng Dashi's plan. Is it from the fourth grade? Wouldn't that be useless?

Born in the fourth grade, it is still a humble grade.

If Zheng Dashi is really kind, he should at least give Yan Qing a third-grade background.

This is not difficult for the Zheng family. Nowadays, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is gradually declining, and the Zhongzheng in various places is largely controlled by the family. As long as Zheng Dashi puts some effort into it, it is not difficult to set up a three-grade background for Yanqing.

Although the third grade is also a humble grade, it is very different from the fourth grade.

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, the children of the eunuchs, are all from the third grade.

Getting a three-grade can at least make Yanqing's career smoother. Can be a four-grade ...... Sounds better.

No, if this is the case, my son can only become a vassal of the Zheng family.

If the old guy Zheng Dashi wants to deal with Yanqing, my son can only endure it silently. Although I am down now, it does not mean that my son can be bullied at will...... Well, I'm going to have to find him a better teacher.

Thinking here, Yan Qing suddenly spoke, interrupting Li Ji's train of thought.

"Who do you know?"

"The son of Fang Yanqian, the commander of Changge County, Fang Xuanling."

Li Ji was stunned, "Are you talking about the sixteenth year of the emperor, Qizhou Jinshi Fang Xuanling?" ”

"That's him."

"Oh, this man is a man of great dignity and talent. But I heard that he is now just a military officer of the feather cavalry lieutenant, what is he doing in Luoyang? ”

Unexpectedly, Li Ji actually knew about Fang Xuanling, and Yan Qing was quite curious.

Li Ji smiled: "I have been running around all these years, but I am not blind or deaf. When Fang Xuanling was a jinshi, he was only eighteen years old. Therefore, at that time, it also achieved a good story. ”

At the age of eighteen, he was very young, so it was a sensation at the time.

Fang Xuanling was really beautiful for a while at that time, until the second year of Renshou, Emperor Wen of Sui opened the imperial examination for the first time, and re-promoted Xiucai, Du Zhenglun, Du Zhengxuan, and Du Zhengzang The three brothers hit the spot at the same time, and one door and three Xiucai covered Fang Xuanling's scenery.
