Chapter 50: Entering the room and closing the door
"Grandpa Xue, you said you want me to inherit your mantle?"
Chu Zhen was stunned by Xue Lao's words.
In the previous life, Chu Zhen was definitely a well-informed person, and he knew very well the meaning of inheriting the mantle for a character like Xue Lao!
This is not as simple as an ordinary apprentice!
"That's right!"
Xue Lao replied, at this time, he had controlled his emotions steadily, but the firmness and expectation in his eyes were stronger!
Just now, Chu Zhen accurately found two breakthroughs in the identification of ancient books within two or three minutes, and both of them belonged to the scope that Xue Lao and several peer experts considered when appraising them!
In particular, the question of evasion is the most critical basis for the identification of the whole set of books, and there is no one!
Chu Zhen's performance just now can be described as amazing!
In Xue Lao's opinion, Chu Zhen is simply a gift from God!
In the reality that talents in the field of ancient book research are withering day by day, how can Xue Lao let go of such a genius!
What's more, Chu Zhen is also very good in other aspects such as reading and studying, thinking logically, and dealing with the world!
"Xiao Zhen, the inheritance that grandpa said mainly refers to the knowledge in the research, collection and restoration of ancient books, which is inherited from grandparents and grandparents, and is of great significance to the inheritance and development of our Chinese culture."
Xue Lao paused after speaking, and felt that he was talking too much, so he continued:
"Xiao Zhen, don't worry, grandpa doesn't want you to be limited to the field of ancient books. However, I think you have a great talent in the study and collection of ancient books, and you are interested in it, so I hope you can help your grandfather pass on this knowledge. As for how you stick to your original intention in the future and keep it consistently, grandpa will not interfere with your choice! What do you think? Would you like to? ”
After Xue Lao finished speaking, he looked at Chu Zhen and waited for Chu Zhen's reply with a solemn expression.
"Grandpa Snow, I'm willing!"
Chu Zhen replied firmly without hesitation.
Inheriting the mantle of Xue Lao is 10,000 for Chu Zhen!
"Great! Xiao Zhen, you really didn't disappoint grandpa! ”
After Xue Lao received Chu Zhen's affirmative reply, he had a feeling that the big stone in his heart had fallen to the ground.
"Xiao Zhen remember, in the future, you will be my Xue Chaoqiao's disciple who closes the door!"
Xue Lao's words are actually extremely weighty, you must know that disciples and students are two completely different levels!
As a master of economics and an academician of social sciences, Xue Lao has taught thousands of students, and has led dozens of master's and doctoral students, most of whom can only be regarded as students.
When he held an important position in the economic department, Xue Lao also cultivated a lot of talents, many of these people have taken important positions, and they still have great respect for Xue Lao, but they are not disciples.
In fact, there were only two people in total who could be called a disciple by Xue Lao before Chu Zhen.
However, what these two and Xue Lao learned was not about ancient books, but about economics and finance.
It just so happened that the two were still a husband and wife, both of whom happened to be 40 years old this year, one was an associate professor at the National People's Congress, and the other was a deputy in a certain department of the State Development Planning Commission.
The closed disciple refers to the last disciple accepted by the teacher, and is usually the teacher's favorite disciple, and the disciple who enters the room is the disciple cultivated by the teacher as the inheritor of the mantle.
Xue Lao accepted Chu Zhen as a disciple who entered the house and closed the door, which shows that his love and attention to Chu Zhen have reached the point of no return!
This means that Chu Zhen has not only inherited the ancient knowledge of Xue Lao, but also is very likely to inherit all the resources of Xue Lao in the future!
Chu Zhen is not clear about this, but it does not prevent him from "showing loyalty".
"Hmmm! Grandpa Snow ......"
Before Chu Zhen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xue Lao and corrected:
"Xiao Zhen, don't call me Grandpa Xue in the future, since you are a disciple, of course you have to change your words!"
"And what shall I call you in the future?"
"Before, I only had two real disciples, they were two people, and when you see them in the future, you can call them senior brothers and sisters. When they used to follow me, they called me Master. ”
"Master?"
"Remember, it's not the master who repairs the car, it's the master who is a teacher for one day and a father for life!"
"Remember, Master!"
"Hahaha......"
Hearing the first "Master" shouted from Chu Zhen's mouth, Xue Lao laughed heartily again.
The laughter reached Wu Fangying's ears in the inner courtyard, and she even tasted it a little, and said to Qin Zheng with a smile: "I don't know what happened to your Grandpa Xue today?" When I gave birth to his baby granddaughter, I didn't seem to see him so happy. Does your classmate Chu Zhen have any special functions? ”
Wu Fangying's last sentence would definitely break out in a cold sweat if Chu Zhen heard it, but Qin Zheng was just a joke.
"Auntie, it's really funny and humorous for me to talk at the same table, and I didn't expect him to be so much in line with Grandpa Xue's appetite."
Qin Zheng heard his aunt ask him about Chu Zhen again, and he felt an indescribable nervousness in his heart, and quickly opened the topic and asked:
"By the way, when will Jingyi come back?"
Qin Zheng asked Wu Fangying's daughter and Chu Lao's granddaughter, named Xue Jingyi.
Xue Jingyi is two years younger than Qin Zheng, and she is just in her second year of junior high school this year, and she goes to school at Beijing No. 5 Middle School, not far from Leopard Fang Hutong.
Xue Jingyi has a classmate who has had a good relationship since the beginning of junior high school, and she often goes to that classmate after school to do homework and play together, and usually waits for almost dinner before coming back.
Wu Fangying looked at her watch and said:
"This girl is almost home, are you hungry? I'll go to Aunt Wu's place to have a look, it's almost time to eat. ”
After saying that, Wu Fangying gently rubbed the top of Qin Zheng's head, and then walked out.
Qin Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his aunt leave, picked up a foreign photography magazine and began to flip through it, but after reading a few pages, he couldn't read it for some reason.
Every time she came to Wu Fangying in the past, Qin Zheng always pulled Wu Fangying with great interest to ask this and that, basically around topics related to photography travel, or listening to Wu Fangying talk about interviews in various places.
If Wu Fangying doesn't have time to accompany Qin Zheng, she will enjoy various professional photography magazines with great interest.
Today, Qin Zheng felt that she was completely uninterested, and her heart felt empty, which made her uncomfortable and scared.
"This stinky guy!"
After speaking, Qin Zheng bit her lip and shook her head again, even she couldn't understand why such a sentence suddenly popped out of her mouth.
When Qin Zheng was there and was not guarded, Chu Zhen was chatting happily with his new master in the study.
"Xiao Zhen, Grandpa Xue, I'...... Oh no, it's Master, since I have accepted you as a disciple who has entered the room and closed the door, there are some things that I have to explain to you, and you must keep them in mind. ”
"Master, you say!"
Chu Zhen entered the role quickly enough, and hurriedly responded.
"There are three points I want to make, which can be regarded as the three chapters of the covenant."
Xue Lao paused, thought about organizing the language, and then said to Chu Zhen very solemnly:
"First, I will slowly teach you those ancient books in the future, some things can only be learned when you are older, and now the first thing is to lay the foundation. From this week onwards, you come over every Thursday after school and study with me for two hours at a time, is it possible for you to do that? ”
"No problem! Coming to study with you is the most important thing for me! ”
Xue Lao nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and said:
"If there is something at home or an important arrangement at school, you can tell me in advance, and we will make temporary adjustments. But I have to warn you beforehand, you have to check your learning every time. ”
"No problem, you said the second one, right?"
"The second rule is that in addition to learning ancient books, you must read one book every week, as long as it is a book that broadens your knowledge and improves your personal quality. Again, I check every week. Questions? ”
"No problem! You go on! ”
"The third thing is that you have to make sure that your school learning is not delayed either! I don't want you, a disciple who entered the room and closed the door, to fail even the Tsinghua University and Peking University exams! ”
"Yes, Master, it's out of the way, anyway, if there are more lice, don't itch, and if you have more debts, you don't have to worry, I promise you, the top ten in the college entrance examination in Beijing!"
"Hahaha...... Xiao Zhen, ambitious! Deal! ”
"Don't worry, can you also promise me three conditions?"
