Chapter 704: Apprenticeship
Ouyang Hu took a bite of the salted meat cake, and the burnt aroma of the pie crust blended with the mellow aroma of the salted meat, making him squint his eyes beautifully: "You invited the old man to eat breakfast, so I will listen to you to take a look." ”
Zheng Qing was very happy and walked towards Brother Cheng'er: "Brother Cheng." ”
Cheng Ge'er heard Zheng Qing's voice, wiped his tears, and replied to him: "Brother Qing, why are you here?" ”
After seeing Ouyang Hu, he saluted him from afar: "Hello Grandpa Ouyang." ”
Gu Jinan also saluted at Ouyang Hu: "Mr. Ouyang." ”
It was really an unexpected joy to meet Ouyang Hu here.
Ouyang Hu shook the salted meat cake in his hand at him, and said with a smile: "You brothers are good." ”
When he got closer, he boasted: "Your Yanfu ham is really delicious, and it deserves the reputation of the world's first delicacy, but one is too expensive, and the old man is reluctant to eat more." ”
Gu Jinan said: "If Mr. Ouyang likes it, I will send you a few pieces with Brother Cheng another day." ”
Several? The latter is really generous, this is something to ask for.
Ouyang Hu refused: "Ham is a treasure, the old man has already said that you can get one or two treasures, but too much is not beautiful." ”
He asked again: "This is Xia Gu's Zhuangzi, what are you doing in his Zhuangzi?" This old man escaped from Dachu after he got into trouble, and he didn't dare to come back until Emperor Jingwu made a big trip, he was really a rat who didn't take responsibility. ”
Ouyang Hu did not hide his dissatisfaction with Xia Gu at all, and he would be dissatisfied with Xia Gu, first, Xia Gu and Zhan San were friends, and Zhan San became famous by scolding his eldest brother. The second is that he doesn't like fanatics, thinking that they are a bunch of crazy people who can only make trouble.
Cheng Ge'er looked at Ouyang Hu and said, "Although Xia Gu's personality is not good, he has taught me for three years. ”
Ouyang Hu said: "Then you were not taught badly by him, you are really a good boy with a tough heart." ”
He only learned yesterday that Xia Gu came to Tianfu County, and there was a Zhuangzi outside the county, and it was not a coincidence that he came here today, but he came to Xia Gu on purpose, and wanted to scold him to make his eldest brother angry.
Back then, Master Zhan San scolded his eldest brother because it was Xia Gu's idea, but he hated Xia Gu in the eastern neighboring country at that time, and he couldn't scold him if he wanted to.
Gu Jinan said in a timely manner: "Brother Cheng no longer studied with Xia Gu at the beginning of winter, Xia Gu and his wife have left, and they will not come back in the future." ”
Ouyang Hu was shocked when he heard this: "Xia Gu and his wife are really gone, why?" ”
Gu Jinan said: "It's because of the Zhan family and my family." ”
Gu Jin'an wanted Ouyang Hu to accept Brother Cheng as a disciple, and after thinking about it, he simply told the Xia family and his wife about his eldest sister, the rude things that Zhan Er did, and the Xia Gu and his wife who calculated Luo Wu in order to make this family affair happen.
Ouyang Hu is a well-informed person, but when he heard what the Xia family couple did with Zhan Er, he was also shocked: "I really don't know what to say, Xia Gu is still the same as back then, thinking that he is the first in the world, and even the lord of Emperor Jingwu wants to do it." ”
Xia Gu and his wife are not the parents of the eldest girl of the Gu family, how can they say goodbye to the eldest girl of the Gu family without knowing it, and it is still Zhan Er.
Zhan Er is simply a copy of Zhan San's master, he was taken to the building by Zhan San at the age of fifteen, and there are countless women around him, not only are there a group of houses in Jiangnan's house, but there are also many maids in the capital. I heard that there was a child, but he couldn't give birth, and he was aborted by Mrs. Zhan's eldest lady with a bowl of medicine.
This kind of offspring is really not a good person, unless Zhan Er's prodigal son turns back, whoever marries him will have to suffer for the rest of his life.
Speaking of Zhan Er, he is also a poor child, he was brought bad by his own uncle, and he has to learn the maniac style.
"You didn't go to the Xia family to study because of this?" Ouyang Hu asked Brother Cheng.
Cheng Ge'er nodded: "Although Mr. Xia has the grace of teaching me a profession, I must know how to be close to good and evil, not to attach evil, not to distant relatives." The eldest sister is my own eldest sister, Brother Luo Wu is still the benefactor of our family, he has given our family food to eat, and he has helped my family on the way to escape the famine, Mr. Xia can't harm him. ”
Ouyang Hu nodded secretly when he heard this, this kid is really good, he is a person who knows right from wrong, knows good and evil, and knows relatives.
"Since Xia Gu has done so many harmful things, why did you come to see him off and kowtow to him?" Ouyang Hu asked again.
Cheng Ge'er lowered his head and said, "Come and thank him for his three-year grace." ”
Ouyang Hu listened, looked at Cheng Ge'er's red and swollen eyes, and sighed: "You are a good boy who is grateful and grateful." ”
He also said: "Don't suffer yourself, it's Xia Ming's fault first, and your three rings have already repaid his kindness." ”
Ouyang Hu is not a madman, nor is he a pedantic literati, he is different from his eldest brother Ouyang Hong, he is a person who believes in revenge and revenge and kindness, so he does not think that Cheng Ge'er is a white-eyed wolf, but feels that he knows both gratitude and far villain.
Gu Jinan saw that Ouyang Hu liked Brother Cheng so much, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, bowed deeply to Ouyang Hu, and begged: "Mr. Ouyang, I boldly beg you to accept your brother as an apprentice." ”
Ouyang Hu raised his gray old eyebrows: "The old man has long known that your kid is uneasy and kind, but the old man just wants to travel the world and eat all the food, but he didn't think about accepting apprentices." ”
Besides......
"Just ask for the master for your brother, don't you want to worship the old man as a teacher? The old man is also a well-known bachelor in Dachu. Ouyang Hu heard that Gu Jinan did not apprentice, but just studied with a country showman.
Gu Jinan shook his head: "I don't want to be in the late life, I already have the best master candidate in my heart." ”
Ouyang Hu: "Oh, who is it?" More powerful than the old man? ”
Gu Jinan smiled: "It's Shang Xiucai." Uncle Shang is not better than Mr. Ouyang, but he is the master I recognize, but Uncle Shang wants me to worship a famous teacher to protect my career. Although the famous teacher has connections to help, it is difficult to find a teacher like a father, I just want to worship Uncle Shang as a teacher. ”
Ouyang Hu was impressed by Gu Jin'an, these two Gu family members are good, it can be seen that the Gu family's style is good, and they do not lose their fame.
Because of Gu Jin'an's words, Ouyang Hu decided to give Cheng Ge'er a chance: "Little guy, do you want to be a madman?" ”
Brother Cheng'er trembled when he heard this, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't want to, I don't want to." ”
When he heard the word madman, he thought of the Zhan family's uncle and nephew, and he was afraid.
Ouyang Hu laughed when he heard this: "Why don't you want to?" The literati of Da Chu are all taught by madmen, and they are proud of being madmen, so you don't want to be madmen, standing on the top of Shilin and overlooking the entire Da Chu literati? ”
Cheng Ge'er said: "Maniacs are too casual, they are mainly crazy, and many times they will make a thing that is easy to solve very bad, and they are too selfish, but Cheng Ge'er still prefers pragmatic literati, just like Uncle Shang...... Well, Xu Tongsheng is also counted. ”
He also said: "Although ordinary literati are not from wealthy families, they are using their skills to preach and receive employment in the township, so that more people can read and write, and more children from poor families can become officials in high school." Although the Han scribes are weak, if all the Han scribes are twisted into a rope, they will be able to match the family......"
"Brother Cheng, shut up!" Gu Jinan hurriedly scolded him: "This kind of thing is also something you can say, don't say it again in the future." ”
