Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 26
Seeing that it was getting late and the curfew was about to come, Lu Deming asked Luo Yan to rest at his house overnight.

The work of the Secretary's Department was so ordinary, Luo Yan still read the planned books seriously.When Lu Deming arrived at the Imperial College, he rushed to Qin Wang's mansion after his lecture in a hurry.

As the teaching assistant of Guozijian, Lu Deming is very free, which is also caused by his status as a great Confucian.Just imagine a veteran who has taught in Guozijian for three dynasties, even if Guozijian offers wine, he must be respectful.

You are not welcome when you arrive at Prince Qin's Mansion. The guard at the gate has long been familiar with the old man, so there is no need to inform him, and he opened the door directly to let him in.As for who you want to find after you go in, jokes, Mr. Lu's identity, he has been in the backyard of Prince Qin's mansion, and there are other places that he can't find.

So old master Lu found the place where Li Xuandao handles official business because of his familiarity.Speaking of dealing with official business, in fact, King Qin is not in the capital at this time, and there are no brats in the Prince Qin's mansion, so Li Xuandao, the chief bookkeeper, is very leisurely, at least he is much more comfortable than Yu Zhining.

When Old Master Lu entered, Li Xuandao was reading a book and drinking tea leisurely.

Seeing that this old gentleman was coming, Li Xuandao was not polite, he just put down his book, stood up and asked, "Assistant Professor Lu is not going to teach today, but suddenly came to Qin Palace, is it a bit strange?"

"What's so strange about this, if I need you for something, I will come naturally." Lu Deming replied angrily.

"Could it be that you're looking at the wine cellar in the palace again? Assistant Professor Kong wants to drink, so you let him come. Every time I drink, I use you as a cover. I haven't guarded and stolen it before. Let him drink all the good wine. "Inadvertently, Kong Yingda was hacked again.Kong Yingda, who was lecturing at the Imperial College, felt itchy nostrils. Fortunately, due to the large number of students, he did not sneeze.

"Haha. This meeting is really not for drinking. Before you look at these things, you send someone to invite Yu Zhonglang." Lu Deming laughed when he heard Li Xuandao's complaints.That's right, Kong Yingda is good at wine, but he would be embarrassed if he took too much wine from the Qin Palace.At this time, he would cheat his old colleague, Old Master Lu, so Master Lu was often invited by Kong Yingda to fetch wine.After a long time, everyone knew about it and took it as a joke.

After ordering his servants to invite Yu Zhining, Lu Deming took out Luo Yan's manuscript and handed it to Li Xuandao.

"Now you make a copy of it and send it to Shandong, and you must hand it to the King of Qin. There are some things in it that I think can help the King of Qin right now."

As a result, Li Xuandao looked at the handwriting on the things that Lu Deming handed over: "Isn't this written by Luo Yan? I said it earlier, and the news could be sent to Shandong at noon yesterday."

"I think so too. This thing was written yesterday evening, and it arrived in my hands in the middle of the night. You think I'm not in a hurry to send it out." Mr. Lu blew his beard and stared. Such an application frightened Li Xuandao to say anything. Don't dare to say it, obediently went to study ink and copy the manuscript.

It's really sad to think about it, how many times have I been a bookmaker in just half a month?Why is it always me who copied the copy, Li Xuandao burst into tears.

Prince Qin's Mansion is not far from Tiance Mansion, but Yu Zhining hurried on, and it was already half an hour after he arrived.

Seeing Yu Zhining was like seeing a savior, and he took out a stack of Luo Yan's manuscripts and handed them to Yu Zhining, Li Xuandao said: "Don't ask anything, make a copy of these first, after copying, Lu Zhujiao Explain why."

Well, as expected of an old fritter who has been up and down in the officialdom, he finally pulled people into the water.

Three hours later, the two rubbed their sore wrists and sighed, "Good article."

Lu Deming put down his teacup and asked with a smile: "How about it, you two have read these articles well."

"If you ask me, this boy Luo Yan is too evil. Even someone who has been familiar with military books since childhood, I am afraid that he does not have such insights."

"Don't mention those guys who are full of brute force. Even if I read a lot of books, it is difficult to write such a thing. The things I copied are not only for military management, but also for political affairs."

Master Lu smiled and listened to the two people's compliments on his disciple, and thought to himself, if you two know that this kid wrote it after ten days of reading, you will die of shame.

With a clear cough, the old master Lu told Li Xuandao: "Leave the copy, and you two can make another copy today, but it cannot be circulated. The original manuscript will be sent to the King of Qin as soon as possible. This is such a wonderful article, the King of Qin will see you." I’m afraid I’m going to look at this boy Jinzhi differently.”

Knowing that they could still make a copy, Yu and Li were overjoyed.Such articles should be carried with you so that you can read them anytime, anywhere.

After finishing speaking, Old Master Lu turned around and went out, and then a sentence floated from a distance: "I will come to my house to watch the ceremony in ten days, and I want to accept apprentices." His jaw dropped in shock.

At noon that day, I rode a fast horse to Shandong.

The next day, the teaching assistant Lu Deming, who always only taught the classics, took out three articles and asked the supervisors to recite them.These three articles are "Mind Technique", "" and "".Since Master Lu, who has always been majestic, spoke, these supervisors, no matter how capable they are, have to recite it even if they bite the bullet.

Although Guozijian has many related households, don't worry, no one can escape from Master Lu's hands.Don't you dare to recite it, that's fine, you're quite capable, so you don't have to come here in the future.Mr. Lu dared to do so because he said so. With his reputation in Shilin, it may not be effective for these little guys' grandpas to come.

If you can't recite this, the Imperial College will be punished.If he offended Mr. Lu, he would have to eat a meal at home.On the contrary, at this time, those supervising students who came in with connections worked harder than anyone else.

And this is what Old Master Lu wanted.He could also see that Luo Yan's articles were at most just learning something for ordinary scholars.But for these supervising students of Guozijian, it is not only them who have benefited, but also their elders.

Today's incident continues like this, and the final result is that these three articles have become famous in Chang'an.When the matter is almost fermented, I will announce the matter of accepting Luo Yan as a disciple, and then tell the matter that Luo Yan is the one of these three articles, then everyone will soon understand my intention - to create momentum for the disciple.

Although it is difficult to say how Luo Yan will be in the officialdom, he will be able to gain a firm foothold in the scholarly circle with his own talent.

Thinking of this, Old Master Lu is also satisfied with his plan.

As the protagonist, Luo Yan, is very distressed.And what troubled Luo Yan was the etiquette of apprenticeship.

In order to understand these things, Luo Yan took great pains.

After finishing the eighth book, Luo Yan deliberately left two books blank, put off his plan to read Yang Xiong's works, and started to read "Yi Li".The etiquette written in this book is basically a supplement to the "Book of Rites" and "Zhou Li", but it is not enough.After all, times have changed, and some of these etiquettes will still change.

So Luo Yan thought of another way, that is to ask colleagues for advice.

This is not a good thing, if it is really spread, Luo Yan will be labeled as "improper".It's not dead by then.

Unable to think of a good excuse, Luo Yan had no choice but to tell the truth.Anyway, everyone will know in a few days, so it's better to say it now.I am a free and poor boy myself, and I don't understand what's wrong with the most appropriate etiquette.Anyway, I have never formally worshiped as a teacher, and I have something to say when others criticize me.

So Luo Yan went to Mr. Zhao's side and asked humbly: "Sir, I wonder if there is anything that needs to be paid attention to in this ceremony of apprenticeship in Chang'an?"

"Oh? Why did Shinzhi ask this question?"

"A few days ago, I was favored by the assistant teacher Lu of the Imperial College and wanted to accept the boy as a disciple. It's just that the boy has always been funded by his brother-in-law, and he is studying in an official school. I have never seen a teacher. The procedure in the "Rituals", the boy is afraid of time. Miscarriage is a lot of discomfort, so I can only ask the master for advice." Luo Yan was willing to go all out.

"It's such a good thing. Assistant Professor Lu is a great Confucian in the world, and it's really a blessing to be able to worship under him." Mr. Zhao laughed.

"As for the apprenticeship ceremony, you only need to prepare the bundle of repairs and the teacher's invitation letter. For other things, just follow the instructions of the deacon after taking a bath and changing clothes."

Hearing Mr. Zhao's words, Luo Yan's eyes widened: "That's all right?"

"What do you want to do as a teacher? The real important thing is not the ceremony of apprenticeship, but to be kind to the teacher. The ceremony of apprenticeship is just to let people know that the inheritance is orderly. If it is not the case, even the ceremony of apprenticeship will be saved. .”

Luo Yan finally realized that his thinking was too complicated.Who told me that I hadn't seen how others apprenticed to a teacher?

After being completely relieved, Luo Yan began to read the remaining two books carefully.After all, my teacher is a master of Confucian classics, if this apprentice makes a joke in this regard, he will not be kicked out by Mr. Lu.

Among the official Nine Classics, there are only two books of rites and the four books "Biography of Gongyang" and "Biography of Guliang", Luo Yan has no memory.If you want to be worthy of the name after apprenticeship, the best way is to keep learning now.In this way, it will take time for Old Master Lu to teach his scriptures.With my current memory, I can remember the content first, and then comprehend it in combination with what Master Lu said, then I can get a lot of gains.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan showed a smile on his face.Now, everything is back to good, and the only thing left is to get the results naturally.
