Li Jinglong heard that Xie Jin was here to apprentice, and after looking up and down, he asked him.

"It seems that you are just a doll referring to a teenager, how did you think of coming here to find my master?"

Although Xie Jin was very polite, he was not convinced, and he told Li Jinglong directly.

"The little grandfather's words are a little biased, although the scales are small and weigh thousands of catties, Gan Luo is the prime minister, I am already thirteen years old, why can't I come to apprentice?"

After hearing this, Li Jinglong was suddenly a little speechless, he was not a person who could speak well.

So, he said with a smile again.

"Do you know what kind of character my master is? Not everyone can easily worship him as a teacher, you come from Ji'an, even the travel expenses have consumed a lot, what if you fail? ”

Xie Jin was quite indifferent, he told Li Jinglong directly.

"Even if the lord refuses to accept me, as long as he is willing to meet and teach me a few words, this trip is not in vain, and I am very content."

After hearing this, Li Jinglong felt a little moved, so he said.

"For the sake of your sincerity, I will take you to see my master, whether it will be successful or not depends on your own creation, I don't want to say much about this."

The Xie father and son thanked him for their kindness and followed Li Jinglong to Lu Ning's small courtyard.

After listening to the other party's intentions, Lu Ning couldn't help but shake his head, having such an unlucky apprentice as Li Jiujiang was already enough to make himself usually tossed.

If you want to have another child apprenticeship, this thing is definitely unreliable, and you can't agree to anything.

At this time, he looked at the father and son with sincerity on their faces helplessly and said.

"You came all the way from Ji'an Mansion, I couldn't be too thin-faced, but I really don't want to accept any more apprentices, please don't mind."

At this time, Xie Jin didn't care at all, he directly saluted Lu Ning, and then said.

"To see Mr. today can be regarded as a blessing for Xie Jin's three lives, if I can't worship Mr. as a teacher, it's just that I'm not lucky enough, I will come again in the future."

Hearing this, Lu Ning felt that this guy was quite sensible, even if he was rejected, he didn't particularly entangle, and he liked it a little in his heart.

"Xie Jin, you are young and promising, and you are still a talented person..."

He wanted to say a few words of comfort, and then sent the father and son away, but as soon as the words came out, he immediately came back to his senses.

This young man who was about to apprentice turned out to be Xie Jin, one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, and the compiler of the Yongle Canon.

This can be regarded as picking up a treasure, and it must not be pushed out anymore, this guy is much more reliable than Li Jinglong.

I have to ask clearly first, whether the other party is the Xie Jin I imagined.

"You are from Jishui County, Ji'an Prefecture, your father's name is Xie Fang, he once won the first place when he was taking the Xiucai exam, and he has a reputation as a prodigy in the local area, am I right?"

Xie Jin was completely stunned, he was indeed somewhat famous in the local area, and his fame would not spread to Changning County, so that a big coffee like Lu Ning would also be familiar with it, right?

At this moment, Xie Jin's heart was indeed a little shaken, and he really couldn't figure out why, so he could only nod again and again.

Then, he asked a question.

"Sir, how do you know my name? Although I have a little fame in Ji'an Mansion, I am not known by my husband, which really flatters me. ”

Lu Ning nodded and said with a smile.

"It seems that everything is the will of heaven, the will of heaven is difficult to violate, I had a dream a few days ago, a Taoist told me about your situation in a dream, predicted that you will become my disciple, I only thought it was a dream, I didn't expect it to be so magical."

Xie Jin was a little excited after hearing this, if it was the guidance of the gods, he would definitely have succeeded in this apprenticeship.

Lu Ning said with a smile.

"Since that's the case, then you can stay here, let your father stay for two days before returning to Ji'an, you are here, he can just rest assured."

Li Jinglong, who was next to him, couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said in his heart that Master's nonsense came out of his mouth, and he never blinked.

Anyway, Xie Jin stayed here, and he also had an extra junior brother.

After Xie Jin officially performed the apprenticeship ceremony, Lu Ning said to Li Jinglong with a smile.

"Jiujiang, since your junior brother has already entered my discipleship, then you should teach him something first, I believe you will definitely be able to teach him very well."

Li Jinglong scratched his head very much, and he asked Lu Ning helplessly.

"Do you want me to teach him to recruit cats and dogs, or let me teach him to fight in groups, and I don't know anything else."

Xie Jin suddenly had a new understanding of this senior brother, and it seemed that this noble child was really different.

However, he could only say modestly.

"Senior brother is too polite, I will definitely learn a lot of things with you, so that the master can also be gratified, but the senior brother will work harder."

Lu Ning was naturally happy to see this Xie Jin so good at talking, so he said to Li Jinglong.

"Then you can teach him to farm first, the most important thing to come to us is to farm first, if you don't have this ability, you can't be my apprentice."

Li Jinglong thought so, after all, he came here to learn farming first, but Xie Jin was completely stunned.

I especially admire Lu Ning, so I naturally came here to learn skills, what is the situation of farming?

After Lu Ning left, Xie Jin quietly asked Li Jinglong.

"Senior brother, Master is not joking, we are all scholars, how can we come here to learn to farm first, and then we won't be farmers."

Li Jinglong copied all the sets that Fu Bo taught him at the beginning, and reprimanded Xie Jin.

"If you don't know how to be a farmer, you don't know about farming, so the Ming Dynasty is based on agriculture, will you only be an official with four books and five classics!"
