Chu Ci is working in the Siye Department. During this period, he has been busy with foreign affairs, and many things in the Imperial College were delayed. Wang Jijiu was still asking for leave. Chu Ci probably said that the old man was preparing to take leave until he retired.

Gu Jiancheng helped Chu Ci a little, and dealt with all the things he could do if he was not very urgent. Someone secretly told Chu Ci, saying that he would let him guard more than he could, so that he would not use any means to stumble.

son.

Chu Ci's response at that time was as follows: "Confucius once said: If people do not respect me, they are not talented; if I do not respect others, they are not virtue. As long as I restrain myself and act openly, I believe that over time, Gu Jiancheng will definitely

It's a little bit changed for me."

His words were so high-sounding that the listeners couldn't help but feel respectful, thinking that Chu Siye was indeed a true gentleman, and his open-mindedness was really admirable.

What he said was spread for some reason, which really made Gu Jiancheng, who had always thought Chu Ci was worried and trembling, breathed a sigh of relief, and completely dispelled the idea of ​​being right with Chu Ci.

Chu Ci actually disregarded Gu Jiancheng's methods, which was due to his confidence in his heart. If Gu Jiancheng's methods really hurt him, it means that he was not strong enough. And Gu Jiancheng, although

He is jealous and stingy, but his work ability is indeed good. As long as he does not do too much, Chu Ci is willing to keep him. The water is clear and there is no fish, and the person is observing and there is no disciple.

When he was calculating whether the amount of the cream and fire silver that should be distributed in the past few months was correct, the servant He Ping at the door came to report that Zhu Feng was standing outside the door with a child and a housekeeper, asking Chu Ci that he had

There is no time to meet them.

Chu Ci had to sigh that Zhu Feng was acting very quickly. He just returned home the night before, and brought the person over the next morning.

"Please come in." Chu Ci said.

He Ping nodded and went out, and after a while, he invited someone in. Zhu Feng and Fu Mingan, who were leading the way, were wearing similar clothes, and they looked similar, but Fu Mingan's appearance was softer. To outsiders, they were like brothers.

Like.

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

Chu Ci also smiled: "Forgot what I said yesterday?"

"I haven't forgotten, you just need to take the exam. Don't show mercy." After Zhu Feng said that, Fu Mingan stood up with a small breast. Although he still looked expressionless on his face, he was actually feeling a little in his heart.

Proud.

While Fu Mingan was not paying attention, Zhu Feng approached Chu Ci again and whispered: "Si Ye, this kid is thin-skinned and can't deal with it after a while."

Chu Ci laughed. It seemed that the uncle knew him very well! Fu Mingan didn't know that he was exposed by his uncle and was standing there eager to try.

Chu Ci said: "Ming'an, before you take the exam for your studies, I will ask, what are you studying?"

Without thinking, Fu Mingan said: "Go to the exam, serve the court, and give back to the people with what he has learned throughout his life."

Chu Ci nodded. This sentence is similar to the modern elementary school student's "Study hard and improve every day". Although it sounds nice, it is a cliché. However, it would be nice for a ten-year-old child to have this idea in his mind. For ordinary people, this

I didn't know what I was doing at the time!

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

Fu Mingan nodded and said that he was ready.

Chu Ci started asking questions, from the most basic three hundred thousand, asking about the "Great Learning" and "Doctor of the Mean" he had read. The questions gradually transitioned from memorization to explanation, from easy to difficult, and Fu Ming'an also had the ease at the beginning.

, became a little helpless.

When the Chu Ci question reached the Analects of Confucius, Fu Mingan had tears in his eyes, and might have rolled down at any time.

"Okay, let's stop at the school entrance exam." Chu Ci ended the question for half an hour with compassion. He was still very satisfied because he found that this child had a very solid foundation and was not the kind of hard study.

Yes, it's a good seedling.

Zhu Feng immediately pulled Fu Mingan over and turned around and asked, "Chu Siye, has my Mingan passed the test?"

Chu Ci nodded and said, "Ming'an's homework is solid and his thinking is quick. He will come here to class tomorrow. At that time, I will give you a note. With this note, you can go to Gu Jiancheng's place to ask for a room and things.

”

As soon as Chu Ci finished speaking, Zhu Feng shouted happily, looking worse than Fu Ming's stable. Fu Ming'an's lips raised slightly, which made him feel a little more innocent than when he came.

Afterwards, the housekeeper Zhu took out all the apprenticeships that Fu Mingan had just become a disciple, such as "cake" and other things, as well as a five-piece apprenticeship set, and all of them were placed in front of Chu Ci.

Chu Ci checked the course schedule and said, "Zhu Feng, go and invite your class teacher over. Fu Ming'an will be in your class at that time."

Zhu Feng was stunned and said, "But..."

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

"I want to take you as my teacher! I want you to be my husband." Fu Mingan suddenly spoke, looking at Chu Ci, his eyes full of respect.

Chu Ci turned his head and looked at Fu Ming'an with a scrutiny look. Did this guy say that he was a gentleman, not a master, and meant that he wanted to be his disciple? Fu Ming'an stood nervously, letting Chu Ci look at him, but his eyes were not

He was willing to move away, as if the gentleman would run away as soon as he relaxed.

Chu Ci looked at him and thought to himself that he had reached the age of accepting disciples so soon, and he still had some vicissitudes of life. Looking back on the past, he was able to integrate the knowledge so quickly under the careful guidance of the two gentlemen.

, memorize it in your heart, and then you were able to pass the top scorer and gain a place in this capital.

However, accepting apprentices is a big deal, and it is not a simple way to recognize them. At this time, once the apprentice accepts them, the two of them will be determined and they will never be able to get along with each other. Therefore, Chu Ci should be good.

consider.

The boy in front of him worked hard in his studies. Although he was young, he could see that his upright and dignified character was 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 an amazing person like you." Fu Ming'an said. There is no big reason. It is purely a child's personality worship, but the seriousness in his eyes cannot be underestimated. It's a joke.

No ingredients.

Since he came to the capital, the first stranger he came into contact with whom he had released good intentions to him was Chu Ci. He can still remember the smell of the packet of sugar balls at that time. Because he couldn't eat it since he studied

These things children like.

The outsider he heard the most in the Zhu Mansion was Chu Ci. Whether it was his grandfather or his uncle, he admired Chu Siye very much. After hearing too much, Fu Mingan also felt a lot of curiosity in his heart.

At the Confucius Celebration, Chu Siye's generous attitude aroused the audience's applause; at the Three Kingdoms Cultural Conference, he even used his intelligence and talent to win back face in front of various countries. Fu Ming'an actually didn't understand these, but he was in his heart

At first I felt that Chu Siye seemed to be better than his father, grandfather and uncle.

This is not easy to deal with. Chu Ci frowned slightly. He couldn't stand others' blowing rainbow farts. Forget it, because this kid's family background is innocent and he is a talented person, I will accept this apprentice for the time being.

Well, it won’t work then, and it’s not too late to be expelled from the master again.

"I'll give you another chance to choose. Are you sure you want to take me as your teacher? I must have heard from your uncle, I'm very strict."

Fu Ming'an's eyes lit up and he fell to the ground immediately: "Master is here, please accept a prayer from my disciple!"

Chu Ci smiled and came forward to help him up: "Get up, your apprentice, you have accepted it first for your teacher. You must be diligent in your studies and don't mislead things. Do you understand?"

"Address, please follow the master's teachings!" Fu Mingan replied obediently.

Chu Ci touched his head and smiled again.

When Zhu Feng saw that their master and apprentice were intimate and harmonious, he felt a little sad for some reason. If he had known that he would have been a disciple of Chu Siye, he just didn't know if Chu Siye would accept him?

Because accepting disciples is a big deal after all, Chu Ci verbally set his name today and came to visit him in person tomorrow to discuss with his elders when to hold the enrollment ceremony. Today they have another task, which is to bring them with them.

Fu Ming'an went to the Hadith Hall to worship the statue of the sages, and then he could go to the Imperial College to study.

They came to the Hadith Hall, and Chu Ci took Fu Ming'an step by step into the hall of knowledge. The saints hanging on the wall looked extremely solemn. Fu Ming'an rarely came to such a place, and was stared at by pairs of wise eyes on the portrait.

Then, he was so nervous that he was trembling.
