Tang Fuzi's house is far away from Liu's house, located at the south gate of the capital, and belongs to the suburbs; And Liu's Mansion is located on Beimen Street in the capital, very close to Guozijian. The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info walked for a long time, and everyone came to the door of Tang Fuzi's house, Master Liu looked solemn, solemnly dressed up, and took a lacquer plate covered with red cloth from the hands of the nursing home, I don't know what was on the plate, and then led Liu Fan in, and the nursing home lined up at the door, and moved the gifts on the car into Tang Fuzi's house in an orderly manner.

Tang Fuzi's house is not big, it can even be said to be very small, just an old house with two entrances, and the earth tile rammed wall, which has not been repaired for many years. An old servant led the father and son of the Liu family to the front hall, and after serving the tea, he retreated.

The vestibule is very simple, except for a humble press table and a few square mats for sitting cross-legged, there is no other furnishings. There is a painting on the wall, which shows a bamboo forest, where only one person is playing music, and there is only one seat, but this person does not sit on the seat, but sits on the ground, and there is a musical instrument on the seat.

Liu Fan feels that the man in the painting is a musician, and it is estimated that he made an appointment with someone to meet friends with music, but he was released by someone. I accidentally drew it out of my friend, and it seems that this person is very vindictive......

Liu Fan pursed his lips disdainfully, and suddenly someone behind him asked, "Liu Gongzi, how is this painting?" ”

Liu Fan turned around in shock, and saw a middle-aged Confucian scholar in his forties standing in front of him, with a scribe's square scarf on his head, a cyan robe, and a pair of slightly worn cloth shoes, with a square face, a pair of sharp and divine eyes, as if he could penetrate other people's hearts at a glance, and a long beard under his chin, trimmed quite neatly and beautifully.

Master Liu gently tugged at Liu Fan and said, "Son, don't hurry up to meet Master Tang!" ”

Liu Fan hurriedly said, "Student Liu Fan, meet Master Tang." ”

Tang Fuzi waved his hand slightly, and continued to ask the question that Liu Fan didn't answer just now: "Liu Gongzi, how is this painting?" ”

Liu Fan is a little weak-hearted, he has never been to college, and he has learned so many things in high school, but he has never studied Chinese painting, how can he comment? You can't say, "I see that your painting is not good, there are failures everywhere, there is no winning pen, and it is estimated that it will not be sold for a few pennies on the street, so don't hang it out." ”

That's exactly what I said. It is estimated that Tang Fuzi will not remember the villain, but Liu Fan's father, who advocates domestic violence, is likely to report on the spot with an old fist and stage a "Quanwutang" on the spot.

No way. Nonsense.

Liu Fan racked his brains. came up with a few words of universal panacea in the previous life. Then he said, "This painting is very good. Students' view. This painting has both form and spirit. The atmosphere is vivid. Quite impressive. And the artistic conception is far-reaching. Food for thought. It's a rare and good painting. "Fortunately, I came from a liberal arts background. It's not that hard to drop a bag. Liu Fan said in the end. I also seemed to have a feeling and shook my head.

This painting is hung in the front hall of Tang Fuzi's house. As soon as they met, they were eager to know Liu Fan's evaluation of this painting, and even a fool could guess it. This painting must have been painted by Tang Fuzi himself. Anyway, you can't go wrong with singing praises.

Who knew that Master Tang was originally smiling. The more I listened to it, the more disappointed I became. Liu Fan's voice just fell. Tang Fuzi shook his head and sighed.

Liu Fan was stunned, and said in his heart: I didn't say the wrong thing, right? I thought about it again. It's a good word. It's just that the praise is not ruthless enough. Tang Fuzi is not satisfied? This guy's vanity is too strong, right? What a face! If I really boast about you to death. Can you stand it? I don't know how to be humble when I am praised by others. You have to learn a little from me, be low-key, and do things in a high-profile way.

Tang Fuzi sighed and said, "It's really hard to find a bosom friend!" ”

Liu Fan shook his head secretly, literati, they are all in this sour temper, what can they do when they make a painting? Can it save all nations from fire and water? Can the Turkic Iron Cavalry be kept out of the country? Instead of sighing for a confidant at home, it is better to go to the border to join the army and kill the enemy, it seems that this Tang Master belongs to the old saprophyte type, and he is also a nerd who "ignores things outside the window and only seeks a good confidant". The symptoms of this nerdy disease are that they have nothing to do and sit at home to seek a confidant, and the national crisis is now and they are still immersed in their own circle of friends.

Tang Fuzi stared at Liu Fan and said: "I just saw you staring at this painting, and you want to stop talking, I don't know what Liu Gongzi has to say?" ”

This guy is here to find fault, right? Liu Fan thought hatefully, if I have a high theory, why do I still come to worship you as a teacher? Were teachers in ancient times so humble when they spoke to their students?

Master Liu was anxious on the side, and his son himself knew best, Gao Theory? This kid can't even hold back the fallacy. In case this kid doesn't know how to pretend to understand and talk nonsense, he will definitely have to come to naught today.

Master Liu hurriedly interrupted and said: "Master Tang, the old man brought the dog to the house today to apprentice, this academic matter, why don't you wait for the opportunity to teach him slowly in the future?" ”

Liu Fan glanced at his father gratefully, in the end, he is his own family, and he sees the truth at the critical moment, which is righteous enough! This dad didn't call in vain.

Tang Fuzi nodded noncommittally, and then began to go through the apprenticeship process.

Master Liu ordered Liu Fan to worship the portrait and tablet of Kong Sheng, and knelt down and kowtowed in front of Tang Fuzi, then uncovered the red cloth on the lacquer plate, and respectfully sent it over, and there were six things on the lacquer plate: meat strips, celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, and longan.

This is the "Six Rites of Bondage" followed in ancient times, in which the meat strips are to express the disciple's heart to the teacher; celery, meaning diligent and studious; Lotus seeds, meaning painstaking education; Red beans, meaning good luck; Red dates, meaning early high school; Longan, meaning the completion of merit.

Tang Fuzi immediately accepted Liu Fan's bow and sent a return gift.

In this way, the apprenticeship ceremony is considered a ceremony. Liu Fan, the person who crossed over, has since become a student of Confucius and a disciple of Confucianism, think about the time before the crossing, he just graduated from high school and looked for a job, went around in a big circle, turned around and entered the school, this life is too fate with books, when will he be able to mix up......

After the ceremony, the three of them sat down and chatted, and Master Liu intended to make friends with Master Tang, in order to ask his precious son to get more care in the Guozi Prison, so he was quite respectful when greeting.

Tang Fuzi may not be very good at talking about trivial things in life, and he is mostly perfunctory to Master Liu, but a pair of eyes are always looking at Liu Fan, and after a while, Tang Fuzi suddenly said: "I usually have a little dabbling in Yi Shu divination, I look at Liu Gongzi's face is quite peculiar, it is said that you have long been ......" Thinking about it, he may also feel a little inappropriate, and changed his words and asked: "What has happened to your body recently?" ”

Liu Fan was shocked, you really can't underestimate the ancients, this guy is really a bit real, he can see with his eyes that the life of this body should have burped a long time ago, amazing! It's a pity to be a teacher, how good it is to go out and set up a stall, low investment and high returns.

Thinking about it, the master still had to answer his questions, and Liu Fan responded honestly: "Not long ago, the student ...... Accidentally fell from the stairs, well, hit the ground with his head on the ground, and was in a coma for more than a month. ”

Master Liu glared at him fiercely on the side again, but did not speak.

Tang Fuzi said: "More than a month ago, well, it's almost, but it's not right, it is said that you should have ...... by now."

Cultural people are more sincere, Liu Fan hurriedly interrupted him and said: "Ji people have their own natural appearance, the number of fate, unpredictable, treacherous and impermanent, and they may not be able to see it in their lives, and it is normal to have occasional miscalculations." ”

Tang Fuzi frowned and nodded in agreement: "Maybe, it's better to believe in books than to have no books, I'm too obsessed with books, too obsessed with appearances." ”

Liu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, crossing is his biggest secret, this secret he intends to rot in his stomach and bring it into the coffin after death, if he is really calculated by Tang Fuzi to be ugly, he will be the first person to be burned alive by the ancients as a demon. Since God arranged for me to cross, you won't let me fail so much, right? Liu Fan said in his heart.

Master Tang stroked his long beard and said, "Since I have accepted you as a disciple, I have to ask you about learning." What books do you read on a daily basis? ”

I read a lot of books, but they were all vernacular, Liu Fan planned to tell the truth, so he counted the same number with his fingers: "The sages are righteous, the hundred schools of thought say, and the students are all ......."

"I have read them all, and I am fortunate to be admitted to the Guozijian and obtain the reputation of a prisoner." Master Liu interrupted Liu Fan without changing his face, and after finishing speaking, he continued to taste tea as if nothing happened.

"Huh?" Liu Fan opened his mouth wide and looked at Master Liu dumbfounded. This joke is too big, even if Dad wants to satisfy his vanity, it's not like this, Tang Fuzi asks a question casually, won't my mouth be full of stuffing? What the hell does Daddy mean? Is it my own father?
