Chapter 167: Recognition

It turned out that Li Cong valued Mr. Ji's knowledge and talent more than 20 years ago, and once studied under this old gentleman, but unfortunately it didn't take long for Ji Weiming to start his third worry.

However, this time the old gentleman went north to Beijing, and Li Cong had also seen him privately, which is why Yan Yan casually asked if he needed help when he mentioned that Lu You wanted to worship Mr. Ji as a teacher.

And this time, the old gentleman opened the altar to give a lecture, and the reason why he mentioned the entanglement of the Great Zhou and the Khitan Jurchen Mongol Western Xia was entrusted by Li Cong, and Li Cong also got inspiration from Yan Yan.

Imagine that a boudoir woman can have this kind of insight after studying for several years, he wants to hear if other scholars will have any different ideas, mainly because these officials in the court are becoming more and more sleek and rigid.

Of course, sleek refers to their personality, and rigidity refers to their thoughts, so Li Cong wants to hear the thoughts of these folks who read books.

For this reason, Li Cong specially brought several sons to the scene, but he happened to see a wonderful debate between Yan Yan and Lu Ming.

"Sister Yan'er, I just knew that you were so good at learning and eloquence, didn't you see how long and black Lu Shizi's face was after you left." Li Sui didn't wait for Yan Yan to come back to his senses, and ran to her with a smile and said.

"This?" Yan Yan first glanced at Li Cong, and then looked at Ji Weiming, she didn't know the relationship between the old gentleman and the emperor, so she didn't know how to say hello to Li Cong, and one more thing, she didn't expect Li Sui to expose her identity as a woman so quickly, so she was inevitably a little embarrassed.

"Why don't you apologize to the old gentleman? Do you think the old gentleman didn't see that you were a woman? Li Cong saw Yan Yan's embarrassment, and reminded her with a smile.

"The younger generation admitted his mistake to the old man, the grandson has always admired the old gentleman's talent and learning, suffering from the lack of apprenticeship, I heard that the old gentleman opened the altar to give a lecture today, and specially came to be trained, but the grandson has a serious stutter, and has always had little contact with outsiders, and the younger generation is to accompany him to do this dress, not to deceive Mr., and please be considerate of Mr." After Yan Yan finished speaking, the man bowed to the old gentleman.

Ji Weiming already had a good impression of Yan Yan's talent and courage, and when he saw that Yan Yan was so humble and polite, and he was bent on defending his husband between his words, he did not have the slightest contempt and disdain, and he was even more happy in his heart, and he officially returned Yan Yan's courtesy.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, it turns out that you are the eldest lady of the Yan family, please forgive the old man for being clumsy and pedantic, and failing to meet the virtuous couple earlier, speaking of which, the knowledge and eloquence of the eldest lady of the Yan family really make the old man admire."

Li Cong saw that Ji Weiming actually officially replied to Yan Yan's salute, and he was secretly shocked in his heart, you must know that he is not only a venerable person who has learned a lot, but also an elder who has passed the age of sixties, once he also called himself a junior in front of this old gentleman, but Yan Yan actually received his courtesy, which is really not low.

So, Li Cong smiled and quipped: "Girl, your face is not small, Mr. Ji used to be my husband." ”

As soon as Yan Yan heard this, he knew that this old gentleman must know Li Cong's identity, so he hurriedly returned the salute to the other party, "Disrespectful and disrespectful, the younger generation is abrupt." ”

Ji Weiming stroked his beard when he saw this, but he didn't talk to Yan Yan politely, but looked at Lu You, "Do you want to worship me as a teacher?" ”

Lu You nodded, also bowed to the old gentleman, and replied with one word, "Yes." ”

Ji Weiming only then took a closer look at Lu Youlai, the man in front of him was wearing a very ordinary brown dark silk sheepskin jacket, wearing a fox fur scarf, although he had no spirit, no words, and no dignity of everyone's demeanor, but his face was like a crown and his eyes were like a lacquer, and he asked softly: "The calligraphy and paintings sent the first two times were made by yourself?" ”

"Yes." Lu You bowed and replied.

"Old man, if there is anything you can't come in and say, don't let the little girl freeze outside." The woman in her fifties also saw that Yan Yan was a girl at this time, and reminded her.

Of course, she also saw that Li Cong was extraordinary, how could there be a reason to leave such a distinguished guest in the yard and be frozen in vain?

"The old woman reminded me right, the old man is rude again." Ji Weiming also realized that something was wrong and beckoned everyone into the house.

Yan Yan didn't know if Li Cong had anything else to do when he came to see Mr. Ji, so she glanced at Li Cong, and Li Cong pushed her, "Since the old gentleman invited him, how can he refuse?" ”

"It's so bothered by the juniors." After Yan Yan finished speaking, he curtsy the old woman.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm very boring to accompany this old man all day long, and I'm worried that no one will come to talk to me, come, child, come into the house with me." The old woman stepped forward and grabbed Yan Yan's hand and said.

The main reason is that Yan Yan didn't dare to wear it too flamboyantly in order to cooperate with Lu You today, and it was also a very ordinary stone blue silk sheepskin jacket.

But then again, the men's clothes on her body were Lu You's when she was a child, she just wanted to find a good wool dress and couldn't find it, it was all sheepskin or rabbit skin, fortunately, the people in the needlework room didn't dare to go too far, and they still used silk, at least they didn't look poor, but they weren't the nobles of a big family.

Therefore, the old woman dared to step forward and hold Yan Yan's hand, she regarded Yan Yan as an ordinary woman from an ordinary small family.

Yan Yan saw that the other party was kind and kind, and it was obvious that he regarded himself as an amiable junior, and he would not embarrass the other party, so he cooperated with the other party and entered the door hand in hand.

The furnishings of the hall are relatively simple, with a portrait of Confucius standing by the river hanging on the north wall, and a couplet next to it, "The past cannot be chased, and it is a pity for those who come." ”

Below the portraits and couplets are an offering table and a table of eight immortals, on which are placed incense burner offerings and other objects, and there are also three high chairs and matching high tables on the east and west sides, but there is no other furnishings in the room.

"Child, let's go into the house and go to the kang, it's cold here." The old woman interrupted Yan Yan's gaze and pulled her into the east room.

This room is against the south wall is a whole kang, there are two small kang tables on the kang, one has a few books on it, and the other has a sewing basket on it, Yan Yan saw that the two couples got along with each other a little similarly, and the two of them did their own things on a kang, and they could see each other when they raised their eyes.

When Yan Yan was speculating about the daily life of the couple, he saw that the old gentleman also introduced Li Cong into the house, it was estimated that the hall outside was too cold, and there was another reason, I was afraid that the old gentleman was also a little curious about her and wanted to get in touch.
