Ye Chongwen had an apologetic face at this time, after all, it was Ye Lao's arrangement, so he could only do it, and Ye Lao couldn't explain anything if he didn't speak.

Ye Lao saw Chen Ping's confusion, but he didn't answer his question, but immediately smiled and said, "I came to the academy today mainly for you."

"For me?"

"Naturally, I don't like to say those foolish words, just one sentence, are you kid willing to be my closed disciple?"

Ye Lao didn't do any foreshadowing, and asked directly if Chen Ping was willing to be his disciple.

Ye Chongwen next to him already showed a look that he couldn't bear to look at when Ye Lao spoke, but he was afraid that Ye Lao would find out, so he quickly pretended to be excited and patted Chen Ping's shoulder.

"Brother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Hurry up and apprentice! ”

Chen Ping didn't speak, his reaction was more flat than Ye Chongwen's excitement.

"Can the student start by asking, why me?" How can I be your closed disciple? ”

"Of course, it's for arithmetic, this kind of talent can add a lot of color to my arithmetic subject!"

can only be said to be worthy of Ye Lao, this answer is really unique to Ye Lao's style.

Ye Lao's temples are white, and sometimes he walks a little falteringly, but he is such an old man, but when he talks about schooling, his eyes are as hot as a child who is still in school.

Just when Chen Ping thought about it for a while, Ye Lao felt that what he said was too simple, for fear that Chen Ping would not agree, and then added, "You and relax, if you want to take the imperial examination in the future, as your teacher, I will naturally be your guarantor, if it is not enough, I should do my best to find friends to help." ”

These words are exactly what Chen Ping thinks, since he knew that he needed at least five guarantors to participate in the exam, he had a headache, and now he can still have an unexpected joy, of course Chen Ping wants to agree.

Suddenly, he thought of something again, swallowed back the words he promised, and asked Ye Lao with some trepidation, "Thank you Ye Lao for your kindness, but this matter is very important." Please also ask Ye Lao to give me some time, so that I can go home and talk to the elders in the family. ”

This kind of big thing is not something he can say alone.

"That's nature, that's nature!" Ye Lao got Chen Ping's answer, and his eyes turned into a slit with laughter.

It seems that this closed disciple has not run away from eight or nine, and now he just has to wait a little longer, so why is it difficult?

Fortunately, the college has a few days off every month.

For this reason, Chen Ping packed his bags the night before he rested and went home early the next morning.

When they arrived at home, Chen Ping truthfully informed Chen Duohai and his wife about the matter, and they were too late to be happy about the fact that the gentleman who was able to lecture at Huating Academy had taken a fancy to Chen Ping and was willing to accept him as a closed disciple, so how could they refuse.

As soon as they thought that the children would be able to embark on the road of the imperial examination with someone in the future, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep, and they discussed the apprenticeship ceremony all night.

This is different from the apprenticeship ceremony of entering the academy, after all, the closed disciple refers to the last disciple accepted by the teacher, and after that, the mountain will no longer accept direct disciples, but the apprentice will accept the disciple grandson - and then pass on the disciple. Generally speaking, the disciples who are closed are the most beloved disciples of the teacher, so they have a special status among the disciples.

At the same time, this means that Chen Ping can take many detours, and when he returns to the college after a few days of rest, his parents do not forget to tell Chen Ping to study hard and not to live up to the teacher's expectations.

This matter was settled, and we waited for the apprenticeship to take place.

This news, in addition to his parents and Ye Chongwen, Chen Ping has never told the outside world. But Ye Lao is different, he has a good student, and he can't wait to tell the world, especially Li Qizhi, who wants to rob him of students.

"You! You're too fast! ”

Li Yang was brought to the restaurant by Ye Lao on the grounds of drinking, but he didn't expect that as soon as the wine was served, he was shown off by Ye Lao, and between the lines, there was not a word that was not telling Li Yang, you, one step late.

couldn't see this person's appearance of showing off his students, Li Yang pretended not to care, and bluntly said that Chen Ping was now his student, and he had to listen to his lectures every day, which Ye Lao couldn't catch up.

Even if Chen Ping is Ye Lao's disciple, but in his Li Yang's class, this kid can't run away from a single section, as for Ye Lao? Let's wait for the college to be on vacation.

How could Ye Lao be convinced, and bluntly said that he also went to the academy to give lectures!

"How many lectures can I have in that month?"

Ye Lao: "......"

In terms of this number, he really can't compare to Li Qizhi, an old horseman.

How can this be willing, Ye Lao gritted his teeth, "I can also give more lectures at Huating Academy." ”

"You just verbally, you won't go to Wenyang Academy? Or won't you go to Jiangxia Academy? As an old friend of Ye Lao for many years, Li Yang is very clear about Ye Lao's itinerary, and it is naturally easy to dismantle the stage.

"You're unreasonable!"

Ye Lao glared at Li Yang viciously, and finally could only take a sip of wine and get angry alone. Over the years, he just hasn't been able to say Li Qizhi a few times.

Seeing that he was funny, Li Yang hurriedly picked up vegetables for Ye Lao, "No matter what, it's also your own disciple, isn't it?" If others can't snatch it, you can rest assured. ”

Ye Lao snorted coldly, and then picked up the dishes in the bowl, as if he was treating the dishes as Li Yang, and chewed and swallowed them.

His temper comes and goes quickly, and when Li Yang gags and changes the topic, he can already enthusiastically shout Qizhi one after another.

On the day of the apprenticeship, Chen Ping unexpectedly found that Ye Chongwen was also at the scene, not only that, but he also came out of Ye's hometown, and Chen Ping understood their relationship.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, in addition to my grandfather's explanation, I'm really curious about you." Ye Chongwen hurriedly explained, "At first, I still wanted to compete with you, but this arithmetic, hey, you know me." ”

Because Mr. Ye talked about Chen Ping's performance during the exam at home, Ye Chongwen was calloused at home, and he was always compared, so he was not convinced, and specially asked to live with Chen Ping.

But the truth is in one place, and he can see Chen Ping's hard work in studying in the past, and this idea has changed a lot.

After that, he didn't tell Chen Ping about his identity, first, he felt that the relationship between the two of them was not important, and second, he forgot about it.

As the grandson of Ye Lao Ye Wenchang, a master of arithmetic, Ye Chongwen likes to make articles, and everyone has their own strengths, which is true.

After a very elaborate apprenticeship was completed, Chen Ping officially became Ye Lao's closed disciple, in addition to receiving some people's comments from time to time, Chen Ping's life in the academy was also quite comfortable.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the students who used to want to shrink in the house have gathered strangely outside today.

Chen Ping looked at the people gathered in twos and threes, but his eyes were all looking at the people in the front hall, he grabbed a person casually and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Haven't you heard? There's a new student, and I've heard that they're still from Kyoto. ”

"I don't know why? How to come to our place. ”

"It seems that the state tried it, and it was sent here by the family."

"Really?"
