Xu Da was very interested in the more than 20 members of Wu Wangwei. He watched the whole process with great interest beside Li Rong, and asked about the details one by one. He even asked about the lunch meal in detail, looking very interested.
.Zhu Su followed him, as if he were welcoming a leader for inspection in later generations. But he didn’t know why the Duke of Wei suddenly came here.
You can't really come here to visit, right?
After looking around, Xu Da came to the living room of Zhuangzi's mansion. Xu Yungong and Fang Xiaoru followed closely behind, and Zhu Su and Li Wenzhong drank a cup of tea with them. Xu Da then said: "I have heard about the five
The title of His Highness's novel, "Linjiang Immortal", is something that even a rough guy like me would be amazed when he heard it. Quanzi also highly praised His Highness's arithmetic skills and did not expect His Highness to be so proficient in military training methods.
It’s really impressive!”
"Uncle Xu is so complimentary." Zhu Su could only say humbly. He thought to himself that Xu Damo was not asking for his own favor, otherwise why would he suddenly praise him so generously?
Sure enough, after Xu Da took a sip of tea, he looked at Zhu Su and then at Li Wenzhong beside Zhu Su.
"I heard that your son Jiujiang, Wenzhong, is also accompanying His Highness the Fifth Prince in this village?"
"Hahaha, that's right. Quanzi Jiujiang was originally uneducated and incompetent, but these days, because of His Majesty's influence, he has become quite diligent and eager to learn."
"This is all a great blessing to His Majesty the Fifth Prince!" He said and bowed his hand to Zhu Su, who quickly returned the gift.
"I'm afraid it's more than just hearing and seeing, right? Speaking of it, His Highness the Fifth Highness taught well." Xu Dadao, Li Wenzhong kept nodding. Li Jinglong is Zhu Su's junior, and it is only natural that elders have the right and responsibility to educate juniors.
"Therefore, I also have a merciless request." Xu Da cleared his throat. "Quin Ziyun Gong, I have the utmost respect for Your Highness's talents."
"I wonder if I am lucky enough to receive a lesson from His Highness?"
"The Master said: If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening. Please have mercy on me and teach me the way of studying things!" He actually knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Su.
He had said so, and Zhu Su had no reason to refuse. Moreover, Lao Zhu also wanted to accept him as a disciple. Did he still have the right to refuse his own father and become the emperor?
So Xu Yungong and Fang Xiaoru kowtowed to Zhu Su respectfully three times, and then served tea to Zhu Su in full view of everyone. This was considered the apprenticeship ceremony. Then they followed Xiangdeng out and chose a resting room.
Room.
"It's just Xiaoru... you are Master Song's student. Although I no longer study in the main hall, I still have a half-master friendship with Master Song."
"It's okay! I've already consulted Master Song!" Fang Xiaoru said quickly. "Master Song said: Why not choose a wise man as your teacher? Confucius once worshiped the seven-year-old Xiang Lu as his teacher, and he should be sincere in his pursuit of learning.
You don’t have to worry about so many twists and turns.”
"Lao Wu, this kid, Yungong, is what we have grown up with. He has always been eager to learn."
"I didn't know Your Majesty was here! May Your Majesty be blessed!" A group of people saluted quickly.
"I've lost weight, but I'm also stronger!" Empress Ma said with a smile. "She looks a bit more like a man!"
"I am willing to serve as a teacher!"
"This...Uncle Xu, this..." Zhu Su was a little at a loss. He really wanted to arouse the two people's interest in studying things, but he didn't want to directly accept them as apprentices! "I'm just child's play, so what?"
Can you be a teacher?"
"How can I not lose weight if I am trained by Brother Baoer every day?" Zhu Su said with a smile.
"This..." I didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen. I originally thought that I could plant a seed in the literary world, but I didn't expect to directly bring back a future assistant minister. Fang Xiaoru was dedicated to history.
Thinking of respecting the Zhou rites, Zhu Su thought that this was a right-minded gentleman who was die-hard Confucian. Unexpectedly, he was convinced by just a few words?
He underestimated the intellectual curiosity of this era.
"Huh?" Zhu Su was stunned. Expert? What kind of expert? Only when he saw the hidden look in Lao Zhu's eyes did he understand. "Oh, since Yungong wants to learn, then I must tell you everything."
"If you worship me as your teacher, Master Song will not look good on your face..."
"It's not like you didn't intend to keep the knowledge you learned from a superior person to yourself, so you just passed it on to him. It's not a big deal!" Lao Zhu said.
After saying that, Xu Yungong stood up from behind Xu Da and bowed silently to Zhu Su.
As soon as he said this, Zhu Su almost threw the tea cup away in excitement. Li Wenzhong also looked surprised and stared at the two young men in front of him who were bowing and saluting with wide eyes.
Xu Yungong was excited and lowered his head in a more humble manner. Fang Xiaoru raised his head instead: "Your Highness! I am incompetent and cannot solve the problem of using paper as a cauldron. But my desire to learn can be used as a lesson to the world!"
A heroic laughter came from outside the door, and everyone turned to look, but they didn't know when Lao Zhu stood at the door. He was wearing light casual clothes that looked no different from ordinary people, and he came here incognito.
"We are all members of our own family, so there is no need to be formal!" Lao Zhu strode into the hall with a smile on his face. He seemed to be in a good mood. Behind him, three people, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Di, appeared out of nowhere. Zhu Di was still saying:
Zhu Su winked.
"Besides, I'm still young..."
"So what if you are still young? There is no age difference between talented and learned people. If you don't understand your brain, even if you can live a hundred years in vain, it is still no different from rotten wood and rotten grass?"
"Hahahaha, why are you hesitating, Fifth Brother? Being timid is not our trait, Old Zhu!"
"According to the rules, he should have come to study under him. If Quan Zi was not talented enough and couldn't solve the entry puzzle given by His Highness, why would I need to show off this old face?" He said, glaring at Xu Yungong.
"The son of the Tiande family wants to be your disciple, so just accept it. If you accept his son as your apprentice, isn't it for nothing that we will give birth to an old boy like Tiande?"
"And I have you." Fang Xiaoru was not to be outdone, he also bowed and bowed to Zhu Su. "I also have the utmost respect for your highness's talent and learning. I hope your highness will not despise me and give you some advice."
"I didn't expect that you would let Yungong come to worship Lao Wu as your teacher. Haha Tiande, you have lowered your seniority for nothing!" As soon as the two left, Lao Zhu couldn't wait to laugh at Xu Dalai. "Our son
Who would have thought of becoming your son's teacher when we were herding cattle together?"
"My brother is so blessed that the fifth prince he gave birth to is so talented. That kid Yungong is so stubborn... That's all, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings." Xu Da pretended to be helpless and shook his head. Old Zhu saw that
He looked even happier. The proud look on his face was beyond words.
"But Tiande, we have been brothers for decades. You don't have to be so cautious." Lao Zhu's face turned solemn after he finished laughing. "You let Yungong join Lao Wu's disciples, do you want to take advantage of it?"
Is this relationship self-destructive so that you, the Xu family, can avoid trouble?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became stagnant!
