Xu Shoufu listened carefully to the training, and he couldn't refute it, the grandchildren in the house were indeed not angry; Although he is younger than his grandfather's grandchildren, he has learned more about vices.

"What Master said is that when I go back, I will strictly investigate."

The old man let him go and instructed Liang Bodao: "Set up a seat for Mrs. Xiao, bring tea again, and serve tea first." ”

"Yes." Liang Bo led Xiao Le to the last seat on the right side and sat down, turned and walked out of the hall, and after a moment he turned around, he had a tray in his hand with two cups of tea.

"Everyone here testifies once, from the day of my apprenticeship, she was a disciple of my Fu Zheng lineage; You are all disciples of the same lineage, or elders, and you have to reach out when you encounter something difficult with Ming's wife. If you don't want to be a disciple of my lineage, you can do as you like; If you encounter something in the future, don't think that other people can do it, understand? "Ugly and good things are said in front, and if you don't walk around the court all the year round, the disciples are all relaxed.

"Let's get started, tea."

The old man gave an order, and a maid sent a kneeling mat; Ming Wu hesitated for a moment, silently pleaded guilty to the master and ancestor, knelt down honestly, took the tea sent by Uncle Liang, and sent it to the old man with both hands.

"Master, please have tea."

The old man was stunned, but he didn't bother with her words, took the tea and took a sip, "Go and give tea to your master." ”

"Yes." Ming Wu moved her position again, and sent the teacup to Xu Shoufu with both hands, "Master, please drink tea." ”

Xu Shoufu nodded, took the teacup with one hand, and took a sip, "Get up, from now on, you will be my third disciple of Xu Lingjun, and you are also a closed disciple; I hope you will study hard, guard against arrogance and rashness, and ascend to the court as soon as possible. ”

The latter sentence is in line with Ming's mind; This is not the case for others, what does a girl do in the court? Although Her Majesty the Empress allowed women to enter the court; But the fact is that there has been no woman entering the court for thousands of years. Ingrained ideas are ingrained in the mind, and a few people are enlightened and will send their daughters to school; However, the treatment in the school is not the same as that of male students, and there are disdainful eyes everywhere.

They don't dare to blatantly despise women going to school, but they can criticize them in private.

"Yes, the disciple will follow the master's teachings." Ming's wife folded her hands and stood up respectfully.

"Hmm." Xu Shoufu responded casually, "You and your mother will go pack your luggage first, and then follow me back to the house." ”

Ming Wu looked at the others and said, "Master, master, the disciple wants to buy a small mansion in Shangjing, it doesn't need to be big, it's enough for the disciple and his mother to live; However, the disciple was not familiar with Jingzhong and did not know where to go to buy a suitable house, so he wanted to ask his master and master to help. ”

The little doll is welcome.

Xu Shoufu's heart was inexplicably smoother, and he was able to ask him for help to explain that he didn't treat him as an outsider; Just apprenticed, but can take the initiative to get close to him, this is a good start.

"It's all a small matter, and there is a suitable little courtyard around my mansion; When you get home, I'll ask the housekeeper to take you there. ”

"There's Master Lao."

"You and I don't have to be polite." The corners of Xu Shoufu's mouth hooked slightly, obviously happy.

The old man was relieved to see this, and looked at Ming's eyes with relief; Knowing how to improve your situation and plan for the future is a person who can take one step at a time and see three steps. Don't look at it just for help, but Ming Wu has done both.

She really needs a permanent place to live, and at the same time, as a child, what does it mean to be able to take the initiative to ask the master for help? It shows that she trusts this master.

Of course, it is also possible that the master thinks she is a trouble, and he will reprimand her if he is unwilling to help; It doesn't hurt in this way, it's all a temptation, and the master and apprentice began to get along with each other from the beginning. After a long time, you will naturally be able to find out the temperament and way of doing things of the other party.

......

After packing her luggage, Ming Wu and her mother left the Weiyuan Mansion with Xu Shoufu and Xu Shoufu's students and grandchildren; Entering the Shoufu Mansion, she found that there was a big gap between it and the furnishings of the public mansion. It is probably the reason for the title, or it may be because of the respect for the teacher; The furnishings and area of Shoufu's mansion will be inferior to the first-class mansion, whether Xu Shoufu is intentional or unintentional, from the subtleties, he has won the hearts of the people.

"Mrs. Xiao and the maid will go to rest first, and the maid will invite you for dinner in the evening; When the time comes, I will get to know the family, you can live in the house with peace of mind, and I will take Ming to see the house later. "It's better to live in someone else's house than to live in your own house.

The gold nest and silver nest are not as good as their own kennels.

Under the fence, where is there so comfortable.

"There is Master Lao Xu, Ming is still young, she has something that she is not thoughtful about, please teach slowly, she is very smart." When Xiao Leshi was leaving, she gave a word of advice uneasily, and after Xu Shoufu nodded, she followed the maid step by step and turned around.

There were only five children and grandchildren left in Xu Shoufu's Academy, and two of them were personal disciples, all of whom were men.

"Come in." Xu Shoufu turned around and walked inside, stepped into the house, and he led the people to the study on the left side again.

Two rows of chairs and a desk for guests in the study, behind which is a Taishi chair; On both sides of the wall are a row of bookshelves with lots of books.

"Sit down."

"Yes, Master/Master"

"Yes, father/grandfather."

There are three generations in the house, and Ming Wu is the youngest, but her generation is not up or down.

Xu Shoufu introduced him to understand, "Come, get to know your two senior brothers, he is Ji Jin, the eldest son of the Ji family in Kyoto, and also your senior brother; Next to him is your second senior brother, Cui Changhe, the son of the Cui family in Kyoto. Ji Jin is now working as an editor in the Hanlin Academy, and Cui Changhe is admitted to the Jinshi in the second half of this year; There are only three of you under my disciple, and I only hope that the three of you will support each other, and don't be suspicious of each other even if you can't get along. ”

"Master, please rest assured, I will take care of my younger brothers and sisters." Ji Jin was dressed in a dark blue robe and made a gesture.

Cui Changhe had a straight face, dressed in black, "Disciple remember." ”

"The disciple remembered." Ming Wu looked up with a smile and asked, "What are the interests of Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother?" ”

"Hobbies?" Cui Changhe asked rhetorically unhurriedly.

"That's right, your preferences, such as riding and archery, poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and so on." After Ming's explanation, she introduced herself first, "My biggest hobby is reading, give me a stack of books, and I can sit in one place for half a day without moving; Of course, I also like to eat, as long as it's delicious. On the premise of doing these well, I also love to sleep, sleep beautifully, and wake up full of energy the next day, so that I can read better. ”

Cui Changhe, Ji Jin: Speaking of which, my favorite is reading books, and everything I do is to prepare for reading.

Xu Shoufu was stunned for a moment by the little apprentice's words, and then chuckled; This smile is terrible, and the children and grandchildren next to him have ghostly expressions.

Ming Wu took in everyone's reactions, but she didn't break them; When I first arrived, I made silent observation as the main purpose.
