A seven-year-old girl, who has read the Four Books and the Five Classics, is already very good, and her performance is excellent, and it does not exceed the acceptable degree of a normal person.

Fan Qingzhi had a smile on his face again, "Cheng Xiaoniang has solid knowledge and is very good." ”

It's no wonder that Chaosheng attaches so much importance to it, and girls of this age in other families have just been enlightened, and even obsessed with their parents' knees; Cheng Mingyi is not only sensible, knows how to advance and retreat, and is knowledgeable, she is a rare good girl.

"Mr. Fan praises falsely, the little girl has just learned a little bit of skin." Be courteous and courteous.

"It's not a false praise, you deserve a compliment from the old man; Ning Yi, the youngest granddaughter of the old man's family, you have just met, she has learned well over the years. That's just relatively speaking, compared to you, she's a little worse. ”

Far worse in terms of behavior, even more so in terms of knowledge.

Ning Yi can't sit still because of her parents' pampering, but she is competitive and always feels very good; This kind of self-confidence is not impossible, and there are not a few people in the family who feel good about themselves. The problem lies in her solid foundation, lack of knowledge, and lack of thorough learning in dealing with people.

Now that Ning Yi is young, others can see her thoughts, and they will not embarrass her for the sake of Fan's face.

However, such a habit is unacceptable.

Over time, Ning Yi will be killed with the connivance of others and become a tiresome girl.

He has been thinking about how to sharpen his little granddaughter's temperament, and when he saw Mingyi, he was moved.

Chaosheng brought her to meet him because he wanted to elevate her status; As long as he agrees to accept apprentices, from now on, Cheng Mingyi, the little girl, will be his little apprentice and a closed disciple.

In all walks of life, closed disciples are very important, and to a large extent, they represent the mantle disciples.

Mingyi smiled slightly, it was inappropriate for her to answer the phone at this time; It's better to laugh it off, just hear it, but don't feel it.

"Teacher, Mingyi is very good, she is very smart, and she can understand a little; The talent is good, it's a pity to waste it, do you think it's good for you to accept another disciple? Zhou Ting was thinking about this moment, and he had been thinking about it for two months.

Fan Qingzhi looked at Mingyi.

Mingyi got up and saluted Fan Qingzhi, "Student Cheng Mingyi, I implore Mr. Fan to accept me as an apprentice." ”

"What is the purpose of your worship of the old man as a teacher?" Fan Qingzhi asked.

Mingyi's mind turned around, knowing that this was the test of Fanqingzhi, "Students have no purpose, they just want to learn, they just want to learn, they just want to learn." ”

The purpose is very pure, not mixed with interests, ambitions, pure desire to read.

Zhou Ting retracted his gaze and felt a little at ease; His eyes turned to Fan Qingzhi's face, but he found that he couldn't see through the teacher. Fortunately, he could feel that the teacher was not angry, and his emotions were very calm, but this was a good start.

"Teacher"

Fan Qingzhi raised his hand to interrupt his unfinished words, and stared at Mingyi with blazing eyes, "No, you have a purpose. ”

Mingyi: "."

"You're right, I have a purpose, I like to read and want to read more."

Fan Qingzhi stared at her for a while, and suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, what a girl with a clear mind, and also a girl who knows how to hide her thoughts; Your purpose is not just to read, your purpose is to live a better life. ”

Mingyi is vigilant.

Zhou Ting looked at Mingyi and saw that she was silent; After going through the conversation between her and the teacher in her head, she understood; In life, it is good to study and study, but there is no need to apprentice if it is just for reading.

Her purpose is to live a better life.

The teacher was not wrong.

But, that's right.

The corners of Zhou Ting's lips hooked slightly, "Teacher, there will always be such and such reasons for living in the world, no matter what the reason is; Don't put the cart before the horse, you have learned the knowledge, and you have a good life, isn't it very good! ”

Mingyi looked at Zhou Ting, he, as always, trusted her and tolerated everything about her.

"Yes, man lives in the world, no matter what the reason or excuse is; Don't do anything illegal and undisciplined, don't violate morality, and just be consistent with your own heart. Fan Qingzhi took in Mingyi's reaction, and was not disgusted with her heart; What's more, Chao Sheng doesn't mind that she has another purpose, she is not a pure-hearted girl, and he doesn't dislike her, that's enough, "In this case, Cheng Xiaoniang is willing to worship the old man as a teacher?" ”

"Students meet teachers."

Bow down deeply.

Fan Qingzhi smiled, "Don't worry, apprenticeship is not so simple, before apprenticeship, you first follow the old man to learn; If you can satisfy the old man, you can be the old man's disciple, if you are not satisfied, you can be a registered disciple, anyway, you don't need to enter the imperial examination, you can learn whatever you want, as long as you like. ”

"Yes, the students listen to the teacher."

After Mingyi finished speaking, she saw Zhou Ting giving her a look out of the corner of her eye; I knew why he was like this, but she just wanted to fight for a direct disciple, but she had a chance that others couldn't ask for, and then she had to rely on herself to make Mr. Fan willingly accept her as a disciple.

"In this way, you will live in the palace, and come to the old man every day to learn from him; Originally, Chaosheng was the old man's closed disciple, if there is one more you, it is a little unruly, but fortunately, you are a girl, even if you accept it, you will accept it. ”

After Fan Qingzhi finished speaking, the big stone in Zhou Ting's heart fell to the ground.

When the teacher says this, he is telling them; Whether it is a disciple or a registered disciple, Mingyi is a student of the teacher, a student with a name and a surname.

"The teacher is kind." Zhou Ting smiled and got up to salute, sincerely respecting.

Fan Qingzhi stroked his beard and smiled, "Don't be happy too early, the old man hasn't seen you for a long time, have you ever fallen behind in your homework?" ”

"Students dare not fall behind, waiting for the teacher to check and advise."

"Okay, then go to your study, let's talk to the master and apprentice." Fan Qingzhi looked at Mingyi and said, "Is it okay for me to call you Mingyi?" ”

Mingyi nodded respectfully, "Teacher casual." ”

"Well, then, Mingyi, you take it upon yourself." Fan Qingzhi said with a smile.

"Yes." Mingyi gave Zhou Ting a look, and after seeing the salute, he withdrew from the place, leaving the space for their master and apprentice.

Seeing Mingyi's back disappear in his eyes, Zhou Ting pursed his lips and said, "Teacher, Yiyi is smart and measured." ”

You don't have to avoid her.

"It's a good thing to be measured, but Cheng Mingyi, this girl, is too smart; It's very similar to when you were a child, you have good resources, she doesn't, her family is doomed, and she can only rely on herself. ”

"Teacher, what do you mean by that?" His brows furrowed, and Zhou Ting's face was displeased.

Seeing him like this, Fan Qingzhi could only sigh secretly.

"Mingyi, this little girl is thoughtful, can you control it? Moreover, she is a peasant girl, where did she learn the profound martial arts? And how did the medicinal herbs you get from the mountains save you? Did she give you the antidote herb unintentionally or on purpose? ”

"There are too many coincidences, Chaosheng."

Zhou Ting's eyes changed slightly, "Teacher, Yiyi won't make a move on me, I'm sure of that; She is just a girl born in an ordinary peasant family, she has a chance, she is smart enough, and she has many opportunities, it is not surprising that she can have today's martial arts. ”
