So after hearing Murong Bai's question at this time, he raised his head suddenly at the first moment.

A pair of eyes shone brightly, and when his lips trembled, he wanted to speak.

But in just a blink of an eye, Xu Xian caught sight of his sister Xu Jiaorong who was standing beside him, looking at him now.

The words that were almost on the verge of rushing to his lips, but no matter what, he couldn't come out of his mouth again.

He hesitated for a while, and his small face was directly tangled into a ball.

But everyone is waiting for his answer, not only Murong Bai, not only Xu Jiaorong, but even Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, they all stopped their eyes on Xu Xian, wanting to take a look, for such a Murong Bai Question, what kind of answer will Xu Xian give?

Therefore, Xu Xian still had to make an answer.

So after being silent for a long time, he finally looked over at Murong Bai, and responded like a mosquito, "En."

Although the voice was low, the city of Hangzhou was not quiet tonight, but the four people present could clearly hear Xu Xian's answer.

A smile appeared on Xu Jiaorong's face, but Murong Bai was still staring at Xu Xian's eyes, and continued to ask him in an oppressive tone, "Are you sure?"

Xu Xian once again turned his head to look at his sister Xu Jiaorong beside him, then nodded heavily at Murong Bai, and said, "Yes, I'm sure."

Hearing this, Murong Bai took a deep look at Xu Xian, his eyes paused for a while on his tightly clenched fists, and finally, he smiled like Xu Xian.

He smiled and nodded to Xu Xian, "Alright."

Immediately, without waiting for anyone else to speak, Murong Bai suddenly reached into his bosom, and took out a thread-bound book from his bosom.

Under the illumination of the lights, Bai Suzhen, who was standing beside Murong Bai, saw the two large characters painted on silver hooks and iron on the blue book cover, which was a book of Analects.

And looking at the handwriting of the Analects of Confucius, it is obvious that this book should be copied by Murong Bai himself.

Perhaps, it was specially prepared in advance for a time like today.

Glancing at the Analects in his hand, Murong Bai smiled and said to Xu Xian, "At your current age, it's still too early to study classics and history."

"so."

He held out his hand, and handed the Analects in front of Xu Xian. At the same time Xu Jiaorong motioned Xu Xian to quickly take the Analects, Murong Bai said in a concentrated voice, "I have a copy here. The Analects of Confucius has an explanation for every sentence of the sage."

"Since you really like reading, that's good."

Murong Bai said slowly, "I'll give you three months. If after three months, you can recite the entire Analects and the notes I wrote on it."

"Then, after I finish this year's autumn exam, you come to my place, and I will accept you as a disciple and teach you personally."

Xu Xian is still young, so he can't feel the weight of Murong Bai's words too deeply.

But Xu Jiaorong's face changed immediately after Murong Bai made this promise.

She exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly said to Murong Bai, "Young Master Wang, this...how can this be done?!"

Xu Jiaorong is not the kind of boudoir woman who doesn't leave her home, so she is not too unfamiliar with many news on the street.

What's more, there is also the relationship between Li Butou and Li Gongfu. Only from the daily conversations of the father and son, Xu Jiaorong can easily know that although Murong Bai was a new talent who just took the exam last year, he was a reference in Qiantang County. Among many children, his grades ranked first.

No one would think that the dignified Qiantang court's chief examiner would fail the examination in the autumn of this year.

Since Murong Bai is already considered a determined candidate, compared to Sun Juren who was only awarded the title many years ago, if he can be taught by Murong Bai himself, it will be better than studying in Sun Juren's school. how many times.

What's more, what Murong Bai said at this time is clearly the word "disciple".

In this case, the course professor is completely different from the teachers and students in the school.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that one day is a teacher and life is a father.

That is to say, as long as Murong Baizhen accepts Xu Xian as his disciple, then from now on, they will be closely related and share weal and woe during the entire imperial examination journey!

Although Xu Jiaorong really wanted her younger brother to have a good future, she also knew very well that her younger brother Xu Xian was indeed not a material for study.

After all, she didn't want to let Xu Xian implicate Murong Bai and bring Murong Bai a bad reputation, so she could only suppress the urge to respond immediately, and said to Murong Bai persistently, "How is this?" OK? It won't work."

Chapter 1297

Guess that Xu Jiaorong may have some other scruples in her heart.

After Murong Bai smiled at her, he raised his eyebrows lightly, and said to Xu Jiaorong in a slow voice, "Why can't this work?"

Murong Bai said, "Although this child is a little dumbfounded, this kind of stupidity can't be regarded as a kind of stupidity?"

He turned to look at Xu Xian, saw Xu Xian holding the Analects of Confucius tightly in his arms, and said with a smile, "We have been neighbors for many years, and Xu Xian can be said to be grown up by me. Looking at him, it can be regarded as hit-and-run."

"After participating in this year's Qiu Wei, I can just have some free time, and it will be a convenient thing to accept a disciple."

After saying these few words, Murong Bai didn't wait for Xu Jiaorong to say no again.

He lifted the lantern in his hand, and took Bai Suzhen by the side, then nodded at Xu Jiaorong with a smile, and said, "Mrs. Li, I still have something to do at home, so I will take my leave first."

But after taking two steps, Murong Bai paused suddenly, turned around, and said to Xu Jiaorong again, "Also, as family members, you really have to pay attention to Xu Xian's situation in the school." Just ask and ask."

After that, together with Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, they quickly disappeared into this small street.

With the departure of Murong Bai and others, the small alley at the corner of the street returned to its original darkness.

Xu Jiaorong pulled Xu Xian and walked to the main road first.

But she didn't take Xu Xian home immediately, but raised her head and stared silently at the full moon hanging on the dome for a while.
