Chapter 38: Wu Tong
"Sister, now that the weather is getting hotter day by day, it's better to make a few summer shirts, it's hot to death when you're busy working in the field in a spring shirt." Seeing that there were many fabrics in the warehouse, Xiao Han suggested.
"Okay, I was just about to say, find a few plain horses to come out, and ask the king's sister-in-law to help." Xiao Ming said that now the three of them are still wearing spring shirts, and they are sweating all over their bodies when they do their work, and they are more likely to catch colds, but she can't make clothes herself, so she has to ask for foreign help.
The two discussed the lock of the house, with Mao Mao's call, the three children ran back happily, Xiao Anzi held a bamboo pole in his hand, one end of the bamboo pole was covered with cotton thread, and the other end of the cotton thread hung a crayfish.
The three of them ran happily, the crayfish was dragged all the way, lying on the ground motionless, the two big tongs hung weakly, Mao Mao was sniffing with his nose next to him, with a look of disgust, and ran to the side to lie on his stomach, it is now being raised by Xiao Ming's space water, and only eats meat and fruits, and the meat must be cooked.
"Aunt Xiao, you see we caught a shrimp, you can bake it and eat it, it's delicious."
This can not only be grilled and eaten, but also made into thirteen spiced crayfish, spicy, spicy, garlic, steamed crayfish, ········, for a while, dozens of methods in Xiao Ming's mind turned over again, that is so beautiful that people can't want to taste, Xiao Ming swallowed his saliva, feeling that his foodie essence is back.
In her previous life, whenever it was the season when the crayfish was on the market, she had to eat all the flavors, especially the spicy flavor.
I didn't expect it to be here, right under my nose, not to mention how excited I was, but unfortunately I can only think about it, she can eat it, she can't do it.
~~
Early the next morning, the three of them dressed up and got into Uncle Liu's ox cart and went to the town.
"Senior brother." When he arrived at Guangji Hall, Min Fangqi waited there early.
"Senior sister, come, senior brother will introduce you to someone." Min Fangqi said, led Xiao Ming and the three of them into the carriage, went all the way to the west, and stopped at a three-entry courtyard not far from his house.
"Senior brother, whose mansion is this, the three of us came empty-handed, without gifts." After the housekeeper led the four of them into the living room to serve hot tea, Xiao Ming asked suspiciously, she didn't expect Min Fangqi to bring them directly to visit, the three of them came empty-handed and didn't prepare gifts.
At this time, Min Fangqi said clearly, "Here lives a young friend of mine, Mr. Wu, who is brilliant, I have known each other since childhood, and have known each other for many years, I heard that you are looking for Mr. Han Ge'er and Brother Yu, and my friend is idle and has nothing to do, so I introduced you to him, hoping to worship him." ”
To persuade Wu Tong to accept apprentices, he has put a lot of effort into it.
"Thank you, senior brother, for your support." Xiao Ming was overjoyed, and Xiao Han stood up to thank Min Fangqi, and even Xiao Yu followed his uncle and aunt to stand up and salute, although he didn't quite understand why, he just knew that his aunt and uncle did this, so he followed.
"No need to be polite, the old man is just threading through it, and whether it can be successful depends on the creation of the two of you."
While speaking, the housekeeper of the Wu Mansion came out again, "Please let the two Xiao Gongzi come in with the little one, the master is invited." ”
"Senior brother, what will happen if they go in." After Xiao Han and the two entered, Xiao Ming was a little worried, I don't know what kind of person this Mr. Wu is, although his writing is good, what his character is.
"Senior sister, don't worry, Xiwen just wants to test them." The old god Min Fangqi was there, and he was leisurely, as if he could see what Xiao Ming was thinking, and comforted: "Xiwen once served in the Guozijian, teaching and educating people for dozens of years, and having countless protégés, if they can accept Xiao Han or Xiao Yu as apprentices, it will also be a good thing for them." ”
"Really, thank you, senior brother, for bothering senior brother." Xiao Ming said gratefully, so she was relieved that she could worship under Mr. Wu, but it was a big thing in her heart, worthy of the dead eldest brother and sister-in-law and the original owner.
"I'm just repaying the favor, compared to the master and his old man, he is generous and righteous, and has a heart for the world, and what the old man does is just a trivial matter." Min Fangqi said with a smile. "Whether it can be done or not depends on their creation."
An hour later, Xiao Ming waited nervously outside, but no one came out, although she had confidence in them, she was still very worried.
How fortunate it is to meet a famous teacher. To know the importance of a famous teacher to students, the teacher is the guiding light on the way of students' education, she has embarked on the road of medicine under the influence and education of her grandfather since she was a child, it can be said that whether it is in the past life or this life, she has benefited immensely.
If Xiao Han and Xiao Yu can be lucky enough to be like a disciple, it will be beneficial to their future development.
"Don't worry." Min Fangqi couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Xiao Ming's anxious appearance, it was the first time he found that his junior sister had a worried side, she was usually mature and steady, as if everything was under control, and now she finally had a new expression.
While talking, Wu Tong walked in with Xiao Han's uncle and nephew.
Xiao Ming stepped forward to give a blessing, and when she looked up, she found that this person she had seen was the old gentleman who was standing with Min Fangqi on the day of the An'an banquet.
"Miss Xiao, I still know the old man." Wu Tong stroked his beard, his eyes were smiling, and he asked Xiao Ming gently.
~~~
Seeing off Xiao Ming and the others, Min Fangqi was drinking tea and gossiping with Wu Tong, "Xiwen, you really agreed." He didn't expect Wu Tong to directly take Xiao Han and Xiao Yu into his door.
"Do you think I'm reckless, or think twice, I've thought it through." Wu Tong put down the teacup before saying, "Xiao Hanxu is thirteen years old, although he is older, he is self-taught, has unique insights into the article, and then after the guidance of the old man, over time, he will definitely soar to the sky." He has carefully examined Xiao Han's Analects, he can know its meaning, and can draw inferences from one case and say different truths.
"As for Xiao Yu, although he is young, smart and studious, he is quite godlike in regular script, which shows his wind and bones, but his wrist strength is insufficient." Thinking back to Xiao Yulai, he was very satisfied, he was able to read the thousand-character text and the three-character scripture at a young age.
"Then who are you going to take as an apprentice?" Min Fangqi asked, happy for his old friend, and found two good seedlings.
"No, just students." Wu Tong had a love for Xiao Han and the others, but with a lesson from the past, he finally refused Min Fangqi's request to accept apprentices, saying, "These are my last two students." ”
Min Fangqi was helpless, and his old friend still couldn't let go.
Xiao Ming and the three of them walked on the street, Xiao Han happily told her sister what happened in the study, what Mr. Wu tested them, and how they answered. Xiao Ming was smiling all the way, happy that they could be recognized through the assessment.
"Mr. Wu asked you to go to school tomorrow, we have to prepare everything today, let's go to the bookstore to buy it now, and we have to buy a gift for Mr. Wu." Xiao Ming proposed.
In a hurry, the three of them had to buy the items they needed at the only bookstore in the town that sold the four treasures of the study.
