However, Mr. Lan Chuan just glanced at the manuscript, did not pick it up to read, nor did he ridicule him, saying: "If you work hard, there will naturally be room for improvement."

When Yao Fucai heard these words, he knew that he was perfunctory, but he still refused to give up and knelt directly at the feet of Mr. Lan Chuan: "Student Yao Fucai comes from a poor family. He has been studying poetry and books for more than ten years and ranked sixteenth in this exam. I hope I can get some teachings from you."

He thought that by using his poor family background, he could win the sympathy of the Confucian scholars and get more opportunities.

Mr. Lan Chuan smiled: "You come from a poor family, but you still go to the flower boat? After studying poetry and books, you go to prostitutes? Is this how you repay the county school for your education and your family's expectations of you?"

Yao Fucai was startled, knowing that what he had just done must have been exposed, but he was lucky and pretended to be confused and asked: "Sir, what do you mean? Have you misjudged the person?"

Mr. Lan Chuan was very disappointed. He hated people who knew they were wrong but still quibbled. I don't want to talk to him anymore: "Yao Fucai, I am old but not blind. To be my student not only requires superhuman talent, but character is an important factor for me to consider."

After hearing these words, Yao Fucai felt angry and ashamed, but he still did not stand up.

Mr. Lan Chuan said solemnly: "A person's heart and character are often revealed in his words and deeds. Your eagerness for quick success and pursuit of fame and fortune are most vividly expressed in your words and actions. There is no need to humiliate yourself. ."

Yao Fucai knew that what happened today was definitely not going to work, so he stood up quickly. Unexpectedly, the person standing behind him was Dean Gao. He didn't know how long he had been standing behind him. He should have listened to everything he said.

Feeling completely ashamed for a moment, he stumbled out and ran out.

"Forget it, let's go. Today is not a good time to talk about poetry and painting. It's a bit disappointing."

As Mr. Lan Chuan walked out, he told Dean Gao what he had just seen in the flower building. Dean Gao felt ashamed. He didn't expect that such a person would appear under his disciples. It seemed that the county school needed to be rectified. Once.

Yan Yongning's family was persuaded by Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao to stay and had a casual meal at the county government office.

After the meal, Yuan Bao volunteered and said he would take them to the river bank for a walk. The bright lights on the Qingshui River bank at night were a scene in Qingliu County. Many people liked to go out for a walk after the meal. Mr. Xiao asked two boys to follow him. Also let Yuan Bao be happy.

When passing the tea house, Fu Bao saw a gorgeous chrysanthemum blooming on the flower bed in front of him. The petals were as white as snow and the heart of the flower was as gold. He couldn't help but pull them to stop and watch.

Somehow, Fubao suddenly turned around and said to Yan Yongning with a smile: "Fubao likes such beautiful flowers. Can my fourth uncle write poems?"

Not wanting to spoil Fubao's interest, and this scene really inspired Yan Yongning, he pondered for a while and couldn't help but compose a poem and slowly said:

The snow and clear flowers are delicate and autumnal,

Goldenrod filled the garden.

The breeze blew through the fallen petals,

The aroma fills the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, this scene of such a beautiful doll was seen and heard by Dean Gao and Mr. Lan Chuan who had just walked to the door of the teahouse. The poem was as smooth as spring water, as fresh as spring breeze, and very suitable for the scene, which aroused the great Confucianism. Attention.

"Good poem."

Mr. Lan Chuan has a keen sense of poetry, and Dean Gao also knows that he has been looking for talented young people. Only truly talented people can create such beautiful poems at the moment of inspiration.

Hearing this cheer, he looked up and immediately recognized Dean Gao. Yan Laoxiucai hurriedly greeted him: "Dean Gao is so elegant, are you also here to appreciate the chrysanthemums?"

Yan Yongning also saluted the two of them respectfully, as if he had been caught by a master, and said a little embarrassedly: "The student has shown his embarrassment."

"This is Yan Yongning, the head of the case this time. Yan Laoxiucai was also the head of the case in Qingliu County twenty-two years ago. I mentioned it to you before."

Dean Gao quickly introduced.

"One subject has two masters, and the master is better than the master." Mr. Lan Chuan rarely had such comments about people, and he returned the compliment with a compliment.

"Fu Bao's fourth uncle is so awesome."

Fu Bao stretched out his thumb, shook his little head and praised triumphantly. His rongyan look made people feel cute, which attracted a group of people to laugh.

Mr. Lan Chuan saw that the old scholar had an upright face, Yan Yongning had clear eyes, and the family was happy and happy. He must be a loving father and a filial son. Coming from such a family background, one can never fake his talent, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

Li Wenzheng: "I wonder if students from Yongning are willing to become my closed disciples?"

Yan Yongning was confused, but the old scholar Yan was happy. He had long seen that the person with Dean Gao was definitely not an ordinary person.

No wonder Fubao said right after he came out of the county office: There are red clouds on the fourth uncle's head.

Dean Gao quickly introduced Li Wenzheng's identity. Both Yan Yongning and Yan Laoxiucai had heard of Mr. Lan Chuan's name and knew that he was a famous Confucian at that time. He was known for his profound knowledge and literary attainments and could become his disciple. It is every student’s dream.

Happiness came too suddenly, but Yan Yongning was not stunned for too long. He immediately knelt down and bowed: "Student is willing. The student has always admired Mr. Lan Chuan very much. Thank you Mr. Lan Chuan for your kindness. The student will definitely study hard and live up to Mr. Lan Chuan." and the dean’s high hopes.”

He also expressed his desire and gratitude for learning, and Mr. Lanchuan nodded slightly.

"I'm happy today. I think we can have a apprenticeship ceremony at this teahouse."

Mr. Lan Chuan was informal and waved his hand to let them go to the tea house. Dean Gao quickly stopped him because he thought he was too impulsive.

"Brother, apprenticeship is a prudent matter, how can you be so hasty? Why don't you let me take care of it and hold it after the teacher appreciation banquet tomorrow? You can also let the master and students witness it."

"Yes, you see, we haven't even prepared for the apprenticeship ceremony!" Old scholar Yan also felt that something was wrong, and felt that what Dean Gao said was more reasonable.

"There is no need for this kind of red tape. Studying is not a show. As for the apprenticeship ceremony, you can make up for it later if you want to. I just want to drink this cup of tea today.

Just make it clear to Yongning that I will go on a trip after leaving Qingliu County, and you will join me in the capital after the new year. "Then he also told the location of his mansion in the capital.

They didn't expect Mr. Lan Chuan to be such a casual person. In fact, they misunderstood Mr. Lan Chuan. If Mr. Lan Chuan hadn't been the one he liked, even eight sedans wouldn't be able to lift him.

Many years later, even though Yan Yongning became famous, the most unforgettable thing was the blooming chrysanthemums in Qingliu County and the opportunity with Mr. Lan Chuan.
