Lu Fang knelt down in front of Yu Yuanwei, "Student Lu Fang, I have met the teacher."
There is no way, this is the rule of this era.
Apprenticeship is not that simple. Even if it is just an ordinary blacksmith accepting an apprentice, there is a set of procedures to follow. Apprenticeship tea, apprenticeship ceremony, etc. are indispensable.
Some even have to study under their disciples for several years before accepting them as disciples if their character is qualified.
This is more complicated and rigorous than worshiping a foster father or something.
Once a teacher, always a father. In this era, it is not just a saying.
Teacher, that’s really the same status as his father. If the teacher has no one to support him until his death, it is the student’s obligation. This is even written into the Dayu Law. Liang Siqi shook her head with a smile, stood up and walked to Yu Yuanwei
In front of him, he picked up the tea on his table and handed it to Lu Fang.
This Lu Fang really doesn't understand anything.
Yu Yuanwei didn't care about these details. He took the tea from Lu Fang's hand and patted his head three times, "Get up..."
Lu Fang stood up respectfully, but felt a little embarrassed. He touched his body and said, "Teacher, the students did not prepare gifts today. Next time..."
Yu Yuanwei laughed, "That's all, your picture of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix, just think of it as a apprenticeship ceremony!"
He is not a person who sticks to vulgar etiquette, otherwise, even for Liang Siqi's sake, he would not accept Lu Fang as his student so easily.
Lu Fang smiled sarcastically.
Liang Siqi smiled at the side and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Lu for being a wise teacher."
Then he looked at Yu Yuanwei and said, "Congratulations to Master Yu on getting a good disciple."
Yu Yuanwei nodded and said, "That's quite shameless. When it comes to composing poetry, Fang'er's ability is much better than that of a teacher like me."
He has changed his nickname to "Fang'er".
Lu Fang smiled apologetically, "Students can only compose poems. For everything else, teachers need to be taught without hesitation."
Yu Yuanwei stood up with a smile, "Princess, will you have a simple meal at my house?"
Then he said to Lu Fang: "Fang'er, please stay here too, meet your wife, and have a few drinks with the teacher."
Lu Fang naturally nodded.
It was almost dinner time now, not to mention that he had just accepted Yu Yuanwei as his teacher, and since he was here because Liang Siqi was here, he should stay to keep him company.
Liang Siqi also agreed.
Yu Yuanwei walked outside again.
Lu Fang and Liang Siqi looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
Sitting down again, Liang Siqi said: "You are Master Yu's student now. You should stay less around those sensual dogs and horses in the future, so as not to lose Master Yu's face. Let me tell you, Master Yu may be easy to talk to, but he is actually very strict."
It’s true, if you continue to act recklessly, you will have to get slapped by him.”
After saying that, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
Lu Fang was a little embarrassed.
He really had no interest in the cockfights, cricket fights, teasing women from good families, and gambling that the unfortunate guy used to do. But Chen Youxi was still in Zuihua Tower, and it was inevitable to go to this place of fireworks.
Soon, Yu Yuanwei came over with his wife.
He has no concubines and no concubines.
This first wife was his first wife before he became rich, and the two of them had a good relationship, which was considered a good talk in the court.
When Yu Yuanwei returned from his official career, his wife followed him back to Ningyuan County to live such a simple life, which shows his affection.
"This is my new student, Lu Fang. The collection of poems I told you was written by him."
As soon as he entered the house, Yu Yuanwei introduced Lu Fang to his wife.
As for Liang Siqi, she should have seen her before.
Lu Fanglian saluted Yu Yuanwei's wife, "Student Lu Fang has met the master's wife."
Yu Yuanwei's wife smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay."
She didn't look like a scholar, and she didn't have much to say. But Lu Fang could see that his wife, the teacher, had a kind face and was not a difficult person to deal with.
After just a few words of greeting in the main hall, Yu Yuanwei's wife went to the kitchen again.
At noon, Lu Fang and Liang Siqi had dinner at Yu Mansion.
The dishes are not rich, but they taste really good.
The unlucky guy used to have few rules, and Lu Fang didn't even understand those rules. He didn't know how to be polite and wolfed down the food.
At the same time, he did not forget to praise Mrs. Yu’s craftsmanship repeatedly.
In the eyes of Yu Yuanwei and his wife, this look seemed a bit "innocent". Lu Fang was even more pleasing to the eye.
Their children are no longer around, and now that they have the status of master and apprentice, they regard Lu Fang as half a son.
Mrs. Yu also kept picking up vegetables for Lu Fang, asking him to eat more.
"Fang'er, please eat more slowly, and..."
"Fang'er, try this."
"Fang'er..."
Fang'er Fang'er shouted, which filled Lu Fang's heart with warmth.
Liang Siqi, on the other hand, chewed her food carefully, looking like a lady, and just looked on with a smile.
During the dinner, Lu Fang had two drinks with Yu Yuanwei.
Unexpectedly, Yu Yuanwei was a drinker. Seeing that Lu Fang liked it, he forgot about his previous words of "drinking two drinks."
He didn't tell Lu Fang any rules and poured wine for Lu Fang himself.
Lu Fang could only drink until his glass was dry.
Mrs. Yu just advised Yu Yuanwei to drink less. Seeing that Yu Yuanwei didn't listen, she didn't say anything more. She took Liang Siqi to the room to talk.
When he came out again, he was called out by Lu Fang.
Lu Fang was also helpless.
I didn’t expect Yu Yuanwei to look like this when drinking.
It was fine at first, but then I suddenly fell down on the table while I was drinking, without any warning. And I couldn't wake up even if I screamed.
I just became a teacher, and now I am impressed by the teacher.
Lu Fang secretly thought that he would have to drink less with Yu Yuanwei in the future.
Mrs. Yu came out and saw Yu Yuanwei lying on the table. She couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "Your teacher is a drinker, but this amount of alcohol... well, you are laughing."
Lu Fang scratched his head and could only laugh.
Liang Siqi was smiling beside her until her eyes turned into crescent moons. When she saw Lu Fang looking at her, she glared at Lu Fang again.
Afterwards, Lu Fang helped Yu Yuanwei go to the room to rest.
When he came out again, he said goodbye to Mrs. Yu.
Yu Yuanwei was drunk, and it was inconvenient for him and Liang Siqi to stay here.
Liang Siqi obviously didn't want to cause gossip, so when she left the Yu Mansion, she whispered to Lu Fang to wait for her at Dengke Bookstore, then got into the carriage and left.
have to.
The Wang family will definitely not be able to go.
Lu Fang watched Liang Siqi's carriage leave and returned to the county office.
When I arrived at the main hall in the backyard of the county government office, I saw Lu Liang eating in the dining room next to him. There were three other people sitting at the table.
Mei'er and Ning'er were waiting beside them.
The policemen from Tanzhou Prefecture came here so quickly?
Lu Fang only glanced at it, not intending to go over and interfere, and was about to return to his own yard.
But Lu Liang also saw him, waved his hand and said, "Erlang is back?"
Lu Fang could only walk to the dining room.
The three police-looking men just glanced at him and said nothing. They were all in their thirties or forties, wearing dark purple official uniforms, and had sabers next to the stools.
Before Lu Fang could speak, Lu Liang said with a smile: "Are you going to visit Master Yu's house?"
He saw the imperial examination materials in Lu Fang's hand.
Lu Fang nodded and said: "It happened that the princess was also there, and Master Yu even accepted me as his student."
"Master Yu accepted you as his student?"
Lu Liang's eyes suddenly widened with a look of surprise.
Among the three agents, who looked the calmest and most sophisticated, the one sitting in the host and guest position also looked deeply at Lu Fang when he heard this, "The Master Yu you are talking about is the newly appointed Hanlin Bachelor, Bachelor Yu?"
