Be a master through ancient times

Chu Ci is working in the office.During this period of time, he has been busy with foreign affairs, and many things in the Imperial College were delayed.Wang Jijiu was still asking for leave, and Chu Ci reckoned that the old man was planning to take leave until he retired.

Gu Jiancheng did help Chu Ci a bit, and dealt with those less urgent matters that he could decide.Someone secretly spoke to Chu Ci, telling him to be more on the lookout for Gu Jiancheng, so that he would not trip him up again.

Chu Ci’s response at the time was as follows: “Confucius once said: People don’t respect me, because I have no talent; Made a difference to me."

What he said was so high-sounding that the listeners couldn't help admiring him, thinking that Chu Siye was indeed a real gentleman, and his open-mindedness was really admirable.

What he said was spread out somehow, which really relieved Gu Jiancheng, who had always thought that Chu Ci had a grudge and was trembling, and completely dispelled the idea of ​​going against Chu Ci in his heart.

In fact, Chu Ci didn't care much about Gu Jiancheng's methods. This was because he was full of self-confidence. If Gu Jiancheng's methods could really hurt him, it meant that he was not strong enough.And this Gu Jiancheng, although he is jealous and stingy, his work ability is indeed good.As long as he doesn't go too far, Chuci is willing to keep him. If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people observe it, there will be no disciples.

When he was calculating whether the amount of tuition and silver that should be paid out in the past few months was correct, He Ping, the boy at the door, came to report, saying that Zhu Feng was standing outside the door with a child and a housekeeper, and asked Chu Ci if he could No time to meet them.

Chu Ci had to lament that Zhu Feng acted so quickly, he had just returned home the night before, and brought him here the next morning.

"Please come in," Chu Ci said.

He Ping nodded and went out, and invited people in after a while.Zhu Feng and Fu Mingan, who took the lead, wore similar clothes, and they looked similar, except that Fu Mingan's appearance was softer. In the eyes of outsiders, they looked like a pair of brothers.

"Chu Siye, this is my nephew Ming'an. My father has already ordered someone to bring this apprenticeship ceremony over. Please accept it, Chu Siye." Zhu Feng said with a smile.

Chu Ci also smiled: "Did you forget what I said yesterday?"

"Don't forget, don't forget, you just take the school exam, don't show mercy." After Zhu Feng finished speaking, Fu Mingan puffed out his small chest. Although his face was still expressionless, there was actually something in his heart. Proud.

While Fu Mingan was not paying attention, Zhu Feng approached Chu Ci again, and added in a low voice: "Si Ye, this kid has a thin skin, and it's hard to deal with crying after a while."

Chu Ci laughed, it seems that this uncle knows him very well!Fu Mingan didn't know that he had been exposed by his uncle, and was standing there eager to try.

Chu Ci said: "Ming An, before examining your knowledge, let me ask you first, what are you studying for?"

Fu Ming'an didn't even think about it, and said: "Get fame and fame, serve the court, and give back to the people with what you have learned in your life."

Chu Ci nodded. This sentence is similar to the modern elementary school students' "study hard and make progress every day". Although the words are nice, they are a cliché.However, it is good for a ten-year-old child to have this idea in his heart. For ordinary people, he doesn't know what he is doing at this time!

"Okay, then I'm going to start asking questions, are you ready?" Chu Ci said gently.

Fu Mingan nodded, indicating that he was ready.

Chu Ci began to ask questions, from the most basic three hundred thousand, to the "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" that he had read. The questions ranged from reciting to explaining, and gradually transitioned from easy to difficult. Fu Mingan was also comfortable from the beginning. , became a little at a loss.

When Chu Ci's question came to "The Analects of Confucius", Fu Mingan already had tears in his eyes, and he might roll off at any time.

"Okay, that's the end of the school exam." Chu Ci mercifully ended the half-hour of questioning, and he was still very satisfied, because he found that this child has a very solid foundation, and he is not the kind of dead-end student Yes, it is a good seedling.

Zhu Feng immediately pulled Fu Mingan over, turned his head and asked, "Chu Siye, can my Ming'an pass the test?"

Chu Ci nodded, and said: "Ming An has solid homework and quick thinking, and he can come here for class tomorrow. I will write you a note, and with this note, you can go to Gu Jiancheng to ask for a room and things. "

As soon as Chu Ci's voice fell, Zhu Feng shouted happily, and he seemed less stable than Fu Mingan.Fu Mingan's lips lifted slightly, showing a little more innocence than when he came here.

Afterwards, Steward Zhu took out all of Fu Mingan's teacher apprenticeship ceremony just now, such as step-by-step "cake" promotions, and five-piece teacher apprenticeship sets, all of which were placed in front of Chu Ci.

Chu Ci checked the schedule, and then said: "Zhu Feng, go and invite your homeroom teacher over, and Fu Mingan will be in your class by then."

Zhu Feng was taken aback, and said, "But..."

"What's wrong?" Seeing that he seemed to have something to hide, Chu Ci asked with concern.

"I want to worship you as my teacher! I want you to be my husband." Fu Mingan said suddenly. He looked at Chu Ci with reverence in his eyes.

Chu Ci turned his head and looked at Fu Mingan with scrutiny. This guy was talking about Mr., not Master. Did he mean that he wanted to be his disciple?Fu Mingan stood there nervously, letting Chu Ci scrutinize him, but he refused to look away, as if this gentleman would run away as soon as he relaxed.

Chu Ci looked at him, thinking in his heart that he had reached the age of accepting apprentices so soon, and it was a bit vicissitudes to think about it.Thinking back to the past, it was also under the careful teaching of the two gentlemen that he could master those knowledge so quickly and memorize it by heart, and then he was able to win the first prize in the examination and gained a place in this capital.

However, accepting apprentices is a big matter, not simply acknowledging them.At this time, once the apprentice accepts them, the names of the two will be determined, and they will never be separated from each other, so Chuci must consider it carefully.

The kid in front of me is working hard in his studies. Although he is young, he can be seen to be upright and dignified, and it is not unacceptable...

"Why do you want me to be your husband?" Chu Ci asked.

"Because I think you are amazing, and I also want to be as amazing as you." Fu Mingan said, there is no reason, it is purely a child's personality cult, but the seriousness in his eyes should not be underestimated, it is a bit of a joke None of the ingredients.

Since he came to the capital, the first stranger he came into contact with who showed kindness to him was Chu Ci.He can still recall the taste of that pack of sugar balls back then.Because since he was studying, he can't eat the things that these little kids like.

In the Zhu Mansion, the outsiders he heard the most were Chu Ci.Both grandfather and uncle admired Chu Siye very much.Fu Mingan heard a lot, and a lot of curiosity arose in his heart.

At the Confucius Sacrifice, Chu Siye's graceful and generous posture aroused the applause of the audience; at the Three Kingdoms Cultural Conference, he even used his ingenuity to win back Wei's face in front of other countries.Fu Mingan actually didn't understand these things, but he began to feel in his heart that this Chu Siye seemed to be more powerful than his father, grandfather and uncle.

This is not easy.Chu Ci frowned slightly, he couldn't stand other people blowing rainbow farts.Forget it, since this kid's family background is clean and he is a talented person, let's accept this apprentice for the time being.

"I'll give you another chance to choose. Are you sure you want to worship me as your teacher? You must have heard your uncle say that I am very strict."

Fu Mingan's eyes lit up, and he immediately knelt down on the ground: "Master, please accept my apprentice's bow!"

Chu Ci smiled, and stepped forward to help him up personally: "Get up, you apprentice, I will be accepted as a teacher first, and you must be diligent in your studies in the future, and you must not be playful and make mistakes, understand?"

"Disciple would like to follow Master's instruction!" Fu Mingan replied obediently.

Chu Ci touched his head and smiled again.

Seeing the closeness and harmony between their master and apprentice, Zhu Feng felt a little sour for some reason. He knew that he also worshiped Chu Siye as his teacher, but he didn't know, would Chu Siye accept him?

Because recruiting apprentices is a big deal after all, Chu Ci just made a verbal appointment today, and he will come to the door in person tomorrow to discuss with his elders when the apprenticeship ceremony will be held.Today they still have a task, which is to take Fu Mingan to the Shengxun Hall to worship the statues of sages, after which he can enter the Imperial College to study.

They came to the hall of sacred teachings, and Chu Ci led Fu Ming'an into the palace of knowledge step by step.The portraits of saints hanging on the wall looked extremely solemn. It was rare for Fu Mingan to come to such a place, and being stared at by pairs of wise eyes on the portraits, he trembled a little nervously.

Seeing this, Chu Ci introduced these sages to him one by one, accompanied by a little story of a saint that he slightly adapted. Fu Mingan was fascinated after listening to it, and then he didn't feel nervous at all.
