Chapter 54: Students and Disciples

Outside Jiangning City, a small lakeside courtyard.

Wei Chen was following Zhuang Jun in the courtyard, making one slightly weird move after another.

Under Zhuang Jun's guidance, Wei Chen has been practicing this set of guidance techniques for nearly a month.

Every time Weichen completes a set of movements, he will feel comfortable and happy, including the quality of sleep has also improved.

These intuitive feelings alone can already prove that the value of this channeling technique is immeasurable.

According to Zhuang Jun, as long as you practice this set of guidance techniques for a long time, you can inspire the body's qi and mobilize the vitality of the body through self-exercise and regulation of the body and mind, so as to achieve the effect of dispelling illness and fitness and prolonging life.

Zhuang Jun is over sixty years old, but he still has a ruddy complexion, vigorous movements, bright ears and eyes, and reads for four or five hours a day, and he does not look tired at all.

All of this is obviously the work of this unknown channeling technique.

With the vivid example of Mr. Zhuang in front, Wei Chen naturally spared no effort to practice the guiding technique.

Under the warm sun, Wei Chen followed Zhuang Jun to complete a set of movements, until his forehead sweated slightly, and then he let out a long breath.

Zhuang Jun watched Wei Chen's meticulous closing actions from the side, and nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, Fu Bo hurriedly went out to check, and when he opened the door, he found that it was Shen Du, the prefect of Jiangning.

Shen Du was dressed in civilian clothes, and there were only two entourages behind him, and as soon as he entered the door, he respectfully saluted Zhuang Jun: "Teacher." ”

After Zhuang Jun changed his clothes and wiped his sweat, he opened his eyes and looked at Shen Du, and said with a smile: "It's just in time, let's have breakfast with the old man." ”

At that moment, Fu Bo served the food and set the table, and each of the three of them had a bowl of sticky white porridge, which contained accompaniments such as white fungus, yams, and green vegetables.

Shen Du and Wei Chen sat on the stone bench at the table, picked up their share and ate quietly.

It wasn't until after the meal, when Fu Bo packed up the dishes and chopsticks and served the tea, that the three of them spoke.

Shen Du lifted the tea lid and smelled it, and suddenly felt that the tea was fragrant, he took a sip of tea, and said intoxicated: "It is worthy of being listed as a tribute to the Longjing before the rain, the fragrance is endless, it is really the best tea!" ”

"Slippery, self-selling and boasting."

Zhuang Jun scolded with a smile and said lightly: "Lord Futai has a lot of opportunities and busy affairs, how can he have time to come to the cold house?" ”

Shen Du touched the bridge of his nose, and he was a little shy at this time: "The students are here to share the spoils with the teacher and the junior brother." ”

Spoils?

Wei Chen's heart moved, and he asked, "But the income of the title?" ”

Shen Du nodded: "Half a month ago, the inscription list was officially published and published, and the scholars heard that the teacher personally ordered the school, and they flocked to buy it, and the five hundred copies that were originally scheduled to be printed have been sold clean by the bookstores and bookstores, and now the bookstore is stepping up the engraving and printing." ”

When Shen Du talked about this, he was smiling, obviously very happy.

The list of questions has always been the exclusive domain of the national talent selection ceremony of the township test and the general test, and it is easy to provoke criticism if a government test wants to publish a list of questions.

At the beginning, Shen Du decided to publish the list of exam questions in the government, but also to fight against the request of those big families in Jiangning, and he had to do it as a last resort, and many people in Jiangning City were waiting to see the jokes of the people of the palace.

It is conceivable how much pressure Shen Du is carrying.

At this moment, Zhuang Jun, the former teacher, suddenly found him and said that he was willing to come forward to point out the title list for the Jiangning Mansion Yaxiao.

Shen Du was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, Mr. Qingteng's name is almost unknown in Shilin, and all the books he has commented on are very popular in the bookstore.

However, although Shen Du has always regarded Zhuang Jun as a teacher of preaching and teaching, and has great respect for Zhuang Jun, Zhuang Jun has never publicly recognized him as a disciple.

Not only Shen Du, Zhuang Jun lectures all over the world, and has countless protΓ©gΓ©s, but he has not recognized a single official disciple so far.

In fact, the relationship between Zhuang Jun and Shen Du has always been Shen Du's unilateral respect and affection, but Zhuang Jun has nothing to say.

Therefore, Shen Du was a little puzzled, why the teacher suddenly came to help him.

Only after this question did I know that the teacher's help was also conditional, that is, at the end of this list, an article called "Returning to Zhao" was added.

And the author of this article is the student that Shen Du recommended to Zhuang Jun not long ago, Wei Chen.

Hearing Zhuang Jun's request, Shen Du did not hesitate at all, and agreed on the spot.

Compared to the celebrity effect of Mr. Qing Teng, adding an extra article is not worth mentioning at all.

Two days later, Shen Du saw the article "Returning to Zhao after Completion", and he was even more sure that he had made a lot of money.

This article will not only not hold back, but will also raise the level of the entire title.

Sure enough, after the title list was officially published, it was very popular in the major bookstores in Jiangning City, and the hundreds of volumes in stock were quickly sold out, and it became a topic of conversation among the scholars of Jiangning City for a while.

The title list is selling well, and Shen Du, who is trying to publish the title list, is naturally bright-faced, originally it was just a last resort, but now it has become a cultural and educational achievement, how can Shen Du not be happy?

Of course, Shen Du also understood in his heart that most of the credit for the book selling well went to Zhuang Jun and Wei Chen.

Needless to say, the blessings brought by Zhuang Jun's fame are needless to say, and Wei Chen's refreshing "Treatise on the Return to Zhao" has also contributed to the best-selling of the title.

Shen Du even heard from the people below that some scholars bought the inscription list just to read the last article of "The Treatise on Returning to Zhao", and as for the rest of the articles, they were all swept aside.

Yesterday, even the booksellers in Yangzhou came to the door and wanted to sell the book to Yangzhou Mansion.

When Shen Du heard the news, he immediately felt embarrassed, and rushed to the lakeside courtyard early in the morning to report the good news, and by the way, settle the share of the pen that Wei Chen and Zhuang Jun deserved.

Faced with the two hundred taels of silver wrapped in red silk, Wei Chen immediately dedicated his share to Zhuang Jun in the name of honoring the teacher, and Zhuang Jun did not shirk and accepted it happily.

Looking at this scene, Shen Du couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.

On weekdays, he often sends money and gifts to Zhuang Jun, but Zhuang Jun never accepts them, and occasionally leaves some tea leaves or pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things.

But Weichen gave two hundred taels of silver to Zhuang Jun, but Zhuang Jun didn't blink his eyelids, and he was at ease.

Combined with the previous incident of Zhuang Jun using his reputation to promote the article for Wei Chen, how could Shen Du not understand the meaning behind this?

"This kid should already be the heir to the teacher's mantle......

Although Wei Chen was personally introduced to Zhuang Jun by Shen Du, he still couldn't help but feel envious and jealous in his heart.

I think he followed Zhuang Jun to study when he was young, and for more than ten years, he has been serving as a teacher, working hard and serving carefully, but even so, he was not able to be included in the door wall by Zhuang Jun.

On the other hand, Wei Chen, who had met Zhuang Jun for less than a month, became Zhuang Jun's only closed disciple, and was fortunate to inherit what Zhuang Jun had learned all his life.

The gap between people is too big!

Of course, Shen Du only sighed for a while, and when he calmed down, his mood quickly turned into a heartfelt relief.

Zhuang Jun has lectured in the world for decades, and there are many students like Shen Du, who have never been recognized by Zhuang Jun, but they all respect Zhuang Jun as a teacher, and respect this old man who has the grace to teach them in their hearts.

The students have always had a heart disease, that is, Zhuang Jun has never been married in his life, has no children and no daughters, and is alone.

After Shen Du became the prefect of Jiangning, he was entrusted by a group of brothers and sisters to take care of Zhuang Jun.

But this is not a long-term solution.

The students still hope that the teacher can find a real disciple who can pass on the teacher's lineage and send the teacher to his death.

Now, this man has finally appeared.

Shen Du looked at the young man sitting on the stone bench, remembered his deafening eloquence, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"The way of my teacher is endless!"
