Chapter 9: Apprenticeship

Changing out of his clothes, Zuo Lingtian tied up the sleeves of his Confucian shirt, ripped a piece on his chest, and Zuo Lingtian admired the bronze mirror: "There is really a bit of a madman's demeanor, Lin Ruhai's clothes are really too big, if you don't wear it like this, you will have to drag it to the ground." ”

After tidying up his clothes again, Zuo Lingtian went out leisurely, and he was still not used to wearing a Confucian shirt for the first time.

In the backyard, Lin Daiyu was on Lin Ruhai's side, with two pigtails hanging on one side, trying to maintain dignity, but she was free and easy and a little cold, even if she pretended to be similar, she still inadvertently revealed a trace of boredom.

Suddenly, Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up, and Zuo Lingtian, who was dressed indecently, appeared in the field of vision of the three of them, Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly, and really shouldn't have any expectations for this county uncle who had a brain.

Jia Yucun is curious, the Lin family is a Houmen family, and they are naturally respectful, although Lin Ruhai's temperament does not care about superficial things, but with Lin Ruhai's reputation in Shilin, no young man dares to do this.

Jia Yucun guessed, could it be that this young man was also Mr. Enlightenment invited by Lin Ruhai? I'm here to grab a job.

His peers are enemies, not to mention the brain-rebellious and ungrateful Jia Yucun, under Jia Yucun's own rich brain, he has an inexplicable hostility towards Zuo Lingtian.

Zuo Lingtian Shi Ran sat down, only to feel that Jia Yucun's eyes looked at him and made him very uncomfortable, as if he was on his daughter-in-law's bed.

Who is this, I haven't messed with him, just shake my face.

Zuo Lingtian glanced at Jia Yucun, which was regarded as one more target for knocking on the stick, and turned to Lin Ruhai and said, "Uncle Lin, who is this?" ”

Lin Ruhai got up to introduce Jia Yucun, and deliberately did not mention the identity of Zuo Lingtian's county uncle: "This is the teacher I invited for Daiyu, by the way, you don't know each other, Daiyu is Zuo Lingtian, the Zuo Lingtian I mentioned to you before." ”

Lin Daiyu got up and bowed: "I've seen Zuo Gongzi." '

Zuo Lingtian saw Lin Yi, who had been in the Red Mansion Book in his previous life, so well-behaved, he wanted to laugh in his heart: "Sister Lin doesn't have to be polite, my name is Uncle Lin, and you call me brother." ”

Although Lin Daiyu said that she lived a new life, whether it was in her previous life or in this life, she was a young lady who lived in the backyard, but she had more love between men and women in her heart, and Jia Baoyu talked to men of the same age the most.

After all, the title of brother is no longer so simple in the eyes of Lin Daiyu, who has read some forbidden books in her previous life.

Lin Daiyu's lips opened lightly: "Brother Zuo." ”

"Yes, good sister."

Zuo Lingtian was naturally very satisfied when he heard a soft and weak beauty call his brother, and he didn't blame Jia Baoyu for liking Lin Daiyu so much.

After the politeness, Lin Ruhai began to discuss with Jia Yucun about Lin Daiyu's apprenticeship.

The politeness of the two literati, Zuo Lingtian really couldn't interject, and all kinds of allusions Zuo Lingtian, a literary idiot, couldn't understand at all.

Yawning and looking at the fish in the pool, Lin Daiyu stayed aside with a handkerchief.

"Zuo Shinephew, you are away all the year round, I don't know if you are interested in apprenticeship with Daiyu."

"Huh?"

Good guys, this can also lie down the gun? Zuo Lingtian didn't want to experience the pain of backing and pulling his palms, so he got up and said: "Uncle Lin, I am a martial artist, just know words and etiquette, not to mention, if I talk about the imperial examination, I admit that this Master Jia is a well-deserved good teacher, but ....."

Zuo Lingtian deliberately left it blank, and didn't finish speaking, Jia Yucun, right, I don't have any intersection with you, although I was unhappy with you in the morning, because you sent it to the door yourself, you threw your face at me, and wanted to be a teacher? Lao Tzu makes you unable to eat this bowl of rice.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Yucun saw Zuo Lingtian stumbling, frowned and asked, "Why?" ”

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Zuo Lingtian finished the rest of the words: "But Sister Lin and I don't participate in the imperial examination, reading and literacy is more to know the truth, in comparison, it is better to invite a talented teacher." ”

After listening to Zuo Lingtian's words, Jia Yucun was furious and said: "Zhuzi, are you saying that I am not talented enough to learn and am not worthy of being an enlightener?" ”

If the junior is here, he will definitely feel that Jia Yucun is so brave, the last one who shouted Zuo Lingtian like this has already been lit by him, and then the head was hung in front of the barracks for three days, that is still a great grandmaster.

Zuo Lingtian didn't make a move this time, and continued: "Didn't Master Jia hear clearly? I don't say that your talent is low, it's just that there are people who are more suitable than you. ”

There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts. Jia Yucun is also a serious professional background, and he has also been an official in the capital, so he is arrogant and disdainful: "I don't know who you know, more suitable than me?" Jia is not talented, but he is still a little confident in his literary talent. ”

Saying no, they were all about to laugh to the sky, Zuo Lingtian said Xiao Qingxuan's name lightly: "The daughter of the Xiao family in Yangzhou, Xiao Qingxuan." ”

Talent is a thing, compared with the history of scientific research, it depends more on a person's reputation, Xiao Qingxuan was famous in Yangzhou in the early years with her love of poetry, and she was famous in three provinces.

What's even worse is that in the realm of Yangzhou, Xiao Qingxuan's influence is absolutely unique, and he dares to say that he is not inferior to Xiao Qingxuan today, and his reputation will be thrown rotten eggs the next day.

At that time, not to mention the hope of climbing to Jiafu and reinstating with the help of guanguan, even if it is difficult to preserve one's own literati status, the reputation of a literati is the foundation of life in this era.

No matter how unconvinced Jia Yucun was, he could only bow his head and admit defeat: "Lord Lin, what this Zuo Gongzi said is right, he is really not talented enough to learn in the next place, and I hope to ask another master." ”

After speaking, as soon as she flicked her sleeves and was about to stride away, Lin Daiyu was still thinking about how to refuse to apprentice to Jia Yucun, but Zuo Lingtian's commotion successfully solved this problem for her.

Seeing Jia Yucun's angry look, Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing, but fortunately she blocked the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, so that Jia Yucun and Lin Ruhai didn't see it.

Zuo Lingtian's attention was not on the two of them at first, and after speaking, he sat down and saw Lin Daiyu smiling, very puzzled, what was so funny about this.

Lin Daiyu also moved her gaze to the side as if she were sensitive, but found that Zuo Lingtian was staring at her, Lin Daiyu suddenly felt that her face was hot, her fair face was half red, and she covered her cheeks with both hands, not daring to look at Zuo Lingtian.

Lin Ruhai saw that Jia Yucun was anxious to leave, so he hurriedly got up and persuaded him: "Brother Yucun, don't leave in a hurry, Xiao Cainu's talent is very high, but she has never participated in the imperial examination after all, and the hard way of studying still needs you to teach." ”

After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, he didn't forget to bow his hand, and when his face arrived, Jia Yucun also walked down the steps, and left in a hurry in response to Lin Ruhai's entrustment.

Lin Ruhai sent Jia Yucun away, sighed unconsciously, and suddenly felt a headache.
