After Dali Temple found the clues of the garment shop and announced to the people that Ye Zhujin and Ye Qishu had nothing to do with the two floating corpses in the river, Zou Shanchang took the initiative to let Ye Yu send the news.

Ye Yu smiled mysteriously at the time, and only said, "You can go with confidence, it's a good thing." ”

Ye Qiong wondered in her heart, it was a good thing to make Ye Yu say that it should not be as simple as practicing the gambling contract.

As it turned out, Ye Qiong had just followed Ye Jin to the bridge on the outskirts of Beijing, and found that it was already crowded with students dressed as ordinary people and scholars.

The people are still calm, the students are all like chicken blood, not at all reserved and proud, one by one holding the books in their hands and squeezing in, many people are squeezed into the hair and shoes, and continue to squeeze in disapprovingly.

Ye Jin was dumbfounded, and Ye Qiong was also a little strange, could it be that Zou Shanchang did something?

was guessing wildly, Ye Qiong found a little scholar standing outside the crowd with his hands in his sleeves, seriously gnawing on a rock sugar gourd.

Ye Qiong couldn't help but laugh after being stunned, isn't that Mr. Zou's little scholar?

As soon as she thought about it, Ye Qiong saw that there was one more person beside the little scholar, it was Zhang Jingzhi, and Zhang Jingzhi was holding a lot of strings of sugar gourds in his hands.

It should be some funny actions, but Zhang Jingzhi did it naturally.

In other words, even if it is regarded as a bamboo stake with a rock sugar gourd, he Zhang Jingzhi is also the most expensive one.

After Ye Qiong laughed at Zhang Jing mercilessly in her heart, she led Ye Jin to the little scholar, took out a piece of malt candy from her purse, and sent it to the little scholar's eyes, saying, "Little scholar, eat this, it's better than a sugar gourd." By the way, the last time we met in a hurry, I didn't have time to ask what your name was? ”

After saying a few words, Zhang Jingzhi glared at him viciously.

Ye Qiong didn't care, she found out last time that Mr. Zou and his little scholar were Zhang Jingzhi's nemesis. As long as Zhang Jingzhi still wants to worship Mr. Zou as a teacher, he must always hold this little scholar, so that he will not worry about her generally.

The little scholar looked up and saw that it was Ye Qiong, and took the candy with a smile, revealing two little tiger teeth, and he said, "My name is Chu Feng, and Sister Ye Qiong just calls me Xiao Feng." Don't talk about this, the old gentleman is waiting for you, come with me! ”

Ye Qiong's heart moved, Zou Shanchang invited his uncle Mr. Zou to come?

The little scholar ignored Zhang Jingzhi, led Ye Qiong and Ye Jin, and shouted to the crowd with great vigour: "Let me go, let me go to the old gentleman!" ”

Some students don't know the little scholar, and just about to reprimand a few words, they were stabbed by the people around them and persuaded: "You don't know him, that's the little scholar that Mr. Zou has been with him, if you offend him, you won't even be able to see the old man!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the students silently moved out of the way, and the little scholar raised his head with his hands in his hands, and led Ye Qiong and Ye Jin to Mr. Zou like a little rooster.

Zhang Jingzhi stood silently on the periphery, and found a good place to look at the situation.

He knew that if he followed in, he would definitely be kicked out by Mr. Zou. He can play tricks on the Zou family in Xinghua Lane, but he can't mess around with Mr. Zou in front of so many people, he also wants to save face.

Zhang Jingzhi stared at Ye Qiong, who was led by the little scholar, and was a little curious in his heart.

He also heard about the little girl's hair in the Ye family, and he was very courageous and decisive.

Zhang Jingzhi thinks that he is different from the old antiques of the family, and he is a deviant in his bones.

Several cousins in the Korean government chased fame and fortune, bent on gaining fame and fame, but Zhang Jingzhi didn't like it, he just felt that officialdom was boring. If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Zou often traveled abroad and had a wide range of knowledge, he would not have pestered him to worship Mr. Zou as a teacher.

Thinking of Ye Qiong's actions, Zhang Jingzhi couldn't help but smile, no wonder Mr. Zou was impressed by her, and even he liked that girl a little.

Mr. Zou and Mr. Zou Shanchang spread straw mats on the side of the bridge, and put table tables and futons on the side. The two sat on the ground, and there was a student kneeling in front of them, who was being reprimanded by Mr. Zou at this time, and his face was red and he didn't dare to argue. Even though he was reprimanded so much that he couldn't raise his head, his eyes still lit up, and after Mr. Zou finished speaking, he thanked him again and again.

Chu Feng was already accustomed to this kind of situation, and shouted to Mr. Zou: "Old man, someone has brought it." ”

When Mr. Zou saw Ye Qiong, he stroked his beard with satisfaction, and asked Ye Qiong to sit beside him with a smile, while Ye Jin was called by Zou Shanchang to sit beside him.

A student whispered, "Who is that girl?" ”

"You don't know? That's the one who was here before, in order to protect the bridge, in public. Another student said, disdain on his face.

Ye Qiong naturally heard these questions, but she turned a deaf ear, and just knelt quietly and uprightly beside Mr. Zou, and her posture made it impossible to find a single mistake.

Mr. Zou smiled with satisfaction.

Seeing that the people had arrived, Zou Shanchang took the lead in talking about the purpose of the trip: "Today we have set up a place here to discuss the Tao to help the people break superstition. The words of 'calling the soul' started because of this bridge, and it should end in this bridge. The son is silent, but now for the sake of the people, we will also talk about ghosts and gods! ”

As soon as these words came out, a student immediately asked: "Dare to ask the two gentlemen, is there really a ghost or god in the world?" ”

The two gentlemen laughed but did not answer, but Mr. Zou asked Ye Qiong instead: "Student Ye Qiong, what should I do to answer this question?" ”

Ye Qiong was surprised in her heart, and when she met Mr. Zou's encouraging eyes, she understood something, so she stood up and said, "I think, there is, and there is not." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and even Mr. Zou opened his eyes slightly.

Ye Qiong's heart was filled with an indescribable feeling.

In her previous life, after Ye Qiong despaired of Zhang Xudong, she kept asking herself, why did I encounter this, and why did things become like this?

Ye Qiong couldn't figure it out, so she decided to look for the answer from the book.

After waking up from rebirth, Ye Qiong has always been reading books, all kinds of books, especially history books.

Until now, Ye Qiong suddenly realized that it was the knowledge she learned from books and the accumulation of two lifetimes that converged into a clear spring, moistening her limbs and bones, and finally moistening her eyes, broadening her horizons, so that what she saw in front of her eyes was no longer a small inner house, but the whole world.

The gains from the two lives finally became the bargaining chips that Ye Qiong held in her hands, which only belonged to herself, so that in this life, she was only twelve years old and was still at an ignorant age, she could stand here and discuss with the best students.

Ye Qiong continued: "First of all, we have to talk about what ghosts and gods are. In my opinion, ghosts and gods are the collective name for all inexplicable things and phenomena in the world today, in other words, unknown things are ghosts and gods. No matter how big the world is, there are always things that we don't know, so ghosts and gods are always there. However, the unknown will always become known, let's say the lunar eclipse, the ancients thought that the ghosts and gods were dissatisfied, and sent the tengu to eat the moon, but today people have found out that it is not a ghost or god, and can even deduce the specific time of the lunar eclipse. Eventually we can explain the theory of ghosts and gods, so it can also be said that there are no ghosts and gods in the world. ”

The students who listened to the discussion were dumbfounded, wanted to debate, but found that they couldn't find a point to argue, and put away their disdain for Ye Qiong.

Mr. Zou glanced at Zou Shanchang with a smug face, and the other party arched his hand to him, indicating that he was willing to bow down.

Zhang Jingzhi, who was observing Mr. Zou's actions, had already guessed that Mr. Zou had not accepted apprentices for many years, and now he had the intention of accepting apprentices for the Ye family's girl?

Zhang Jingzhi pondered for a while and laughed, without jealousy, but admired Mr. Zou's eyes.

The little daughter of the Ye family, just such an outstanding talent is worthy of Mr. Zou to make an exception for her.

Chief Zou Shan bowed slightly to Ye Qiong and said, "What the student Ye Qiong said is very reasonable, and it is also the truth that my uncle and I believed. It can be seen from this that the words of 'calling souls' are pure falsehoods. ”

Another student said: "Dare to ask the mountain chief, is the I Ching divination and the like still credible?" ”

Zou Shanchang explained: "I Ching divination is just to tell you the possible outcome of things. It's like a copper coin, you throw it upwards, one side is the word, the other side is the light, this is predictable. I Ching divination is also a similar truth, and sometimes it is even a hint. For example, I tell you today that you will have a plague of blood in the near future, and what is this plague of blood? As small as cutting your hands when chopping wood, to stealing your family and exterminating your family, it can be regarded as a bloody disaster. But when I tell you, you'll automatically substitute for me, and think that everything you look at is a bloody disaster. ”

The student who asked the question nodded ignorantly, and an old woman dressed as a merchant asked: "Then, dare to ask the two gentlemen, is it still useful for us to worship God and ask for Buddha?" ”

Mr. Zou smiled: "It's useful, why is it useless!" A gentleman should be righteous in his heart, if you worship God and seek Buddha, don't you have to eat, drink, and make money to support your family? Worshipping God and asking for Buddha is just to give yourself a confidence, my behavior is blessed by God and Buddha, as long as I do it, I will definitely be able to succeed, and you will be more confident in doing things, isn't it? ”

The old woman smiled and nodded, "That's true." Those who only know how to worship God and seek Buddha, but do not work hard themselves, God and Buddha want to help, and they have nowhere to help, and they are not sitting on empty mountains! ”

Mr. Zou said: "Speaking of the word 'soul calling', how can there be such a thing as cursing a person down by taking a person's hair or eight characters." If this is the case, the matchmaker who kills the most people in the world should be the matchmaker, because the matchmaker knows the most eight characters! ”

At this point, everyone present laughed.

After sitting and talking for a long time, few people believed in the words of "calling the soul", Zou Shan saw that it was getting late, so he persuaded everyone to disperse and helped Mr. Zou to get into the carriage together.

Ye Qiong already had a guess in her heart, and she waited by Mr. Zou's side and did not leave.

Zhang Jingzhi, who was watching from a distance, sighed with emotion, and suddenly remembered one thing: "Oh no, then will I still call that girl younger than me senior sister in the future?" ”

Zhang Jingzhi suddenly became irritable, shook the folding fan and walked back to the Korean mansion with a sigh.

Mr. Zou really turned around and called Ye Qiong: "Ye Qiong, come up too, let's stop by and go back to Xinghua Lane together." ”

Ye Qiong responded with a smile, Ye Jin was ruthlessly thrown down by Mr. Zou as before, and could only squeeze into Zou Shanchang's carriage with the little scholar Chu Feng, but fortunately, Zou Shanchang was very kind to Ye Jin.

Mr. Zou was still sitting in his wife Yu in the carriage, and when he saw Ye Qiong getting into the carriage, Yu was not surprised, but just looked at her with a smile and a kind gaze, which made Ye Qiong think of her grandmother at home.

As soon as he got into the carriage, Mr. Zou got straight to the point and asked Ye Qiong with a smile: "Student Ye Qiong, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" ”

Rao is heart was prepared, Ye Qiong was still stunned, and then excitedly wanted to kneel on the carriage to bow to the teacher, but was pulled by Mr. Zou and Yu together: "It's still in the carriage, and I'll worship when I officially apprentice." ”

Ye Qiong suppressed the excitement in her heart, but couldn't help but ask more: "Dare to ask sir, why me?" ”

Mr. Zou said with a smile: "I was so proud when I talked about the Tao just now, why am I not confident now?" The answer is simple, I love talent, you are talented, that's all. ”

Ye Qiong burst into tears, and blinked her eyes before the tears in her eyes were gone.

Mr. Zou is a great Confucian in the world, and he is often summoned by His Majesty to teach His Majesty the way of benevolence, and he is one of the few people who can reach the heavens.

What's more, Mr. Zou is highly respected and is the head of today's Shilin, and behind Mr. Zou is the entire Daliang reader. This force is something that even the Son of Heaven is afraid of.

Heaven and Earth Jun is a teacher, and he worships Mr. Zou as a teacher, which is to really find a reliable backer.

What's more, Mr. Zou is only eight years old, and if he can learn one or two talents from Mr. Zou, Ye Qiong is already satisfied.

Seeing that Ye Qiong was emotional, Yu smiled and revealed Mr. Zou's old bottom: "He, he really values you, his nephew, it was your mountain chief who came to invite him, and he was not happy to come, I heard that you came." Moreover, he heard that the mountain chief also wanted to accept you as a fugitive and was so anxious to die, but he still promised the mountain chief to go to Wenshan Academy to teach, and the mountain chief agreed to cut his love. ”

Ye Qiong was stunned for a moment and became happy.

Mr. Zou and himself were both calculated by Zou Shanchang, Zou Shanchang got the opportunity to sit in the academy with great Confucianism, and Mr. Zou got an apprentice, not to mention himself, it was really a good strategy to kill three birds with one stone.

Ye Qiong sincerely thanked Zou Shanchang for his calculations.

Old Mr. Zou snorted, and then instructed Ye Qiong: "Let your family prepare to bind up, and then set up a drink, I, Zou Shuangrui, will accept the closed disciples, then I still have to put on a show, at least let the whole capital know that I have accepted a good apprentice!" ”

Ye Qiong's heart warmed, knowing that Mr. Zou should be called Master now, and he was helping himself.

From now on, she will also have the master to teach and love people.
