Chapter 45: Apprenticeship
July 29.
The calendar looks pretty ordinary.
Li Hongru calculated according to what he learned in the Book of Changes.
When it was estimated that it was appropriate to apprentice today, he immediately felt that Wang Fuchou was a particular person.
The other party's push power is also several levels beyond him, and he can guess casually.
I Ching calculates that the calendar has many dos and don'ts, which sounds very lofty, and the fast calculation looks even more amazing.
But many things have rules, as long as you study carefully, the difficulty is not high, and in the end it is no different from mental arithmetic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
If you are lazy, you can spend some money to buy a perpetual calendar, and you can directly check the results by flipping through it every day.
It is appropriate to apprentice today, and Li Hongru will also go to apprenticeship today.
He was dressed in new clothes, new clothes and tights, and some soaphorn mud was rubbed on his hands.
Li Baoguo specially called the carriage and gave some copper coins before Li Hongru and Li Dan squeezed into the carriage.
On the carriage, Li Hongru was stable, but Li Dan was a little apprehensive.
Li Hongru is used to mixing with some children of the family, and many transactions are also because of strange goods, and finally transactions are carried out in an equal way.
And Li Dan has been practicing martial arts with a few bitter haha all the year round, and he is more than diligent, but his knowledge is far from enough.
Even the children of several families in the Zhu Clan's Sword Hall, most of them were watching from afar, and it was difficult for them to communicate.
This is the first time to meet a big person.
He carried ten catties of beef with hemp rope, brushing his forehead with his hand from time to time.
In the middle of the ring, he already had a large amount of butter on his forehead.
"The teacher is at No. 33 Juzheng Street, and there are four big characters on the courtyard of 'upright and bright heart', and it is ......"
Next to him, Li Hongru opened the curtain on the carriage from time to time to look out the window, and muttered a few words from time to time.
"Guest, it's here!"
The voices of Li Hongru and the coachman signaling their arrival sounded almost simultaneously.
Immediately, he saw Li Hongru jumping out of the carriage with two handkerchiefs in his arms.
"It's not too far from this place, and if we come here, we can save five cents."
Li Dan muttered, feeling that the ride in the carriage was too extravagant.
This place is not far from the Simen Pavilion, probably because Wang Fuchou controls the Simen Pavilion, the office needs to be close, and the residence is relatively close.
"When you run, you will sweat, and if it gets stained on the silk, it will inevitably be indecent."
Li Hongru explained in front of him, and he came to his senses.
It seems that he has been prepared for a long time, and at this time, the door of Wang Fuchou's mansion is open.
When Li Hongru approached with a handkerchief, he saw a young man who looked like a scholar coming over.
"It's Li Hongru and Li Gongzi?" The boy asked.
"Exactly!"
"Sir has been waiting in the house for a long time, come with me!"
The scholar's words made Li Hongru a little uneasy.
Although they have set off on time, let Wang Fuchou wait, that is also the ignorance of them as juniors.
Stepping into the mansion, a courtyard of dozens of square meters suddenly appeared in front of you.
Many orchids grew luxuriantly, and two more 10,000-year-old pines were planted in the center of the courtyard.
At this time, it coincided with the blooming of the bluegrass, and the bursts of tranquility came, which made people's heads wake up.
This is a courtyard house, according to the layout of the wing, study, living room, kitchen and bathroom and other venues.
The building is somewhat old, but it is extremely clean and neatly furnished.
Li Hongru followed forward with a handkerchief, and when he stepped on the door, he straightened his shirt slightly.
At this time, he could already smell Wang Fuchou's voice.
Accompanied by Wang Fuchou, there were two people who talked casually.
There was no lack of discussion in some obscure words in his speech, which was probably an exchange of their own cultivation experiences.
The scholar knocked on the door, and then heard a hearty laugh inside.
"You student is also punctual and knows the rules!"
"Call in, let's see which one of you is up to your liking!"
"I also want to collect students, but this kind of student is too difficult to find."
"It's just that Fu Chou is in control of the Four Gate Pavilion and has taken a shortcut."
"Hugh is going to kill me!"
At this time, there were two more voices.
It was probably Wang Fuchou and the other two who were discussing it before, and the others were listening.
The door to the study creaked open.
Being able to be invited into the study to talk is obviously a very intimate relationship.
Li Hongru bowed down and exhaled 'Teacher', and then felt that the five eyes were projected on his body in unison.
Ming Ting's tempered ability is extremely good at seeing, and he is also extremely sensitive to this kind of gaze.
This suddenly made him feel like a thorn in his back.
Everyone's eyes almost wanted to study him thoroughly.
"Don't be restrained, come over and meet my old friends," Wang Fuchou said happily.
Li Hongru responded to the next sound, immediately straightened up, and put the two silks in a storage place very numbly.
Li Dan looked at the beef in his hand, and then looked at the ink fragrance in the study.
He instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
Just as he was about to look at Li Hongru, Wang Fuchou had already spoken.
"Xiaozhu, take this little brother to the living room to rest, ask the cook to cook the beef, and bring us a pot of wine."
There was no wine in Li Hongru's apprenticeship, and Wang Fuchou didn't mind, so he directly called someone to use his own.
The scholar responded and immediately led Li Dan out.
"I heard that you brewed a few more pots of gladiolus spring, it seems that we are in good luck."
"Wonderful, I'm not good at drinking, but today is a happy event, and I must drink it all from Brother Fuchou."
"It's just a little effect of nourishing the throat and moistening the lungs, it's hard to have much use, if you like it, I'll send you a batch of seeds."
"Fudi orchids are difficult to raise, I have not been alive for several years of careful care, raising a batch of dead a year, how can it ever be like Brother Fuchou's yard, like a weed."
……
Everyone opened their mouths.
Li Hongru also began to notice the other four people at this time.
All four of them have long beards and have extraordinary temperaments.
Like Wang Fuchou in casual clothes, the four of them also traveled lightly at this time.
"This is Chai Lingwei, Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, holding ceremonial music, sacrifices, and suburban temples."
Taichang Temple is in charge of the world's ceremonial music, and when it is in charge of royal ceremonies, it is also the highest institution of Yuefu.
Many people who are good at music and rhythm want to correct their names, but they can only go to Taichang Temple.
Music is a direction that Li Hongru has little contact with.
The music he remembered humming and chirping was useless, and it was not popular in Datang at all.
Scholars know poetry, books, etiquette, and music, even if they are not good at it, at least they know it.
This is undoubtedly an important department, and it has a lot to do with spiritual practice.
"This is Liu Renjing of Zongzheng Temple, who is in charge of compiling books and sectarian affairs."
Soshoji manages the affairs of the royal family and also has the responsibility of governing many sects, which is a department that may seem unimportant, but is very important to some groups.
In Liu Renjing's body, Li Hongru vaguely sensed that this person's strength might be the strongest among all the people present.
"This is Yuan Xuezhen, a doctor from Taixue, you have said hello in advance now, if you miss class in the future, you will not be removed."
When introducing the third person, Wang Fuchou also ridiculed Li Hongru.
This made Li Hongru a little arrogant.
If you enter Taixue, this person will probably be common in the future.
"It's easy to say," Yuan Xuezhen touched his beard and smiled.
"This is Zhu Yuanshi, the secretary of Guozijian, who is in charge of Guozixue, Taixue, and many things in the Simen Pavilion."
Wang Fuchou sat down and introduced the last person.
This person looked at Li Hongru for a long time.
Finally, he shook his head and said a word.
"It turned out that you were a sycophant, you had to get this ability, and now it's all slapped on Brother Fuchou's thigh!"
His words were not polite, as if he saw an acquaintance, and casually made a joke.
Li Hongru looked at Zhu Yuanshi, opened his mouth and smiled.
He was not recognized by Li Chunfeng, but by Zhu Yuanshi.
This is the censor who recorded his poem 'Town Stargazing Tower' in the Stargazing Tower.
