"I beg your master to be perfect." Yu Xi lifted his robe and knelt in front of Master Meng. Master Meng wondered, "Well, you child, why do you insist on worshiping me as your teacher?"

"Yu Xi has heard for a long time that Master is rigorous in his studies, and he teaches without discrimination. I sincerely wish to worship Master and listen to Master's teaching." After Yu Xi said that, he kowtowed to the ground, and Master Meng coughed several times: "That's all, I will Accept you as a student, and when the old master goes to Xi, you will join another master."

"Students, thank you, Master!" Yu Xi was overjoyed, and followed this kneeling to worship the teacher. Master Meng didn't expect that he was so old, and even accepted a student. He smiled and waved to Song You : "Swim, come here."

"Yes, teacher." Song You walked over and stood beside Master Meng, and Master Meng said to Yu Xi, "This is your brother Song You, Master Xu is not here, I am old, and most of the chores in the academy are managed by idlers. , you can find him directly if you need anything in the future.”

"Yes." Yu Xi bowed to Song You and said, "Senior Brother, thank you."

"Master, you are being polite." Song You saluted, and said to Master Meng with embarrassment on his face, "Master, the wing rooms in the academy are already full, and the younger brother came late, so there is no place to live now... ..."

"Are there so many students this year?" Master Meng asked in surprise.

"Yes, teacher, please take a look." Song You handed the booklet with the registered student list to Master Meng, and Master Meng flipped through it, and there were thirty or so people. Looking at the row of dormitories, it was indeed full.Master Meng was also in a dilemma. He looked at Yu Xi and said, "Why don't you stay at my house first."

"This..." Yu Xi has the nerve to go and arrest Meng Fuzi's house, but if he doesn't go here, there is no place to live in the academy.He subconsciously looked at Song Cheng, and Song Cheng also thought of this, he said to Master Meng: "Why don't you let Xiao Xi live with me, and move back when the wing room becomes vacant."

"To your house?" Meng Fuzi asked.

"The teacher is still in Suzhou, Cheng is the only one living in the house, and there are still vacant rooms, so it's no problem for Xiao Xi to live here." Song Cheng said with a smile, "Besides, I have a very good personal relationship with Ci, so I can't leave Xiao Xi alone. "

Master Meng nodded when he heard the words, and said to Yu Xi, "Xi, what do you think?"

"Yu Xi is willing, thank you brother." Yu Xi thanked Song Cheng with a smile.

Song You breathed a sigh of relief, he said with a smile: "It's the best, this year's students have already been accepted, and we can't accept any more."

Master Meng nodded, and he asked again: "You, did that He Juren agree to come to teach a few days ago?"

"His tone has softened a lot yesterday, and the student will be able to invite him after two more days of hard work." Song You said with a smile, "Besides, he has not made money anymore. Your Majesty will not open a course to obtain a scholar in the past two years. If he doesn't come to the academy to teach, I'm afraid he won't even have to worry about going back to his hometown."

"Hmph, if you don't learn well, how can you invite Master like this?" Master Meng snorted with his eyes closed, but there was a faint smile on his mouth, obviously not really annoyed.Song Cheng still remembered that Song You was the little kid who wanted to leave behind even a piece of unfit clothes, but he didn't expect that he had grown into what he is today. Although he was still young, he had already started to help his master manage the academy.At the beginning of human beings, people are inherently kind. No matter how unreasonable they were when they were young, they are still a child after all. In the end, they can be taught by Master Mencius to become what they are today.

"I can't do it anymore. Your teacher is hiding in the south of the Yangtze River to play with his grandchildren again. I think this academy will be closed." Meng Fuzi complained to Song Cheng, and Song Cheng saw that Meng Fuzi's current appearance was more serious than before. A bit childish, I think what the old man said is good, this person is getting old when he is old, and Master Meng is now a young man, and he is afraid that he will be coaxed by these two students. He turned to look at Song You, and sure enough he saw Song You coaxed the old man: "Teacher is thinking too much, You will never let the academy close, the students promise to invite He Juren tomorrow."

"It sounds good, please come and talk again." Master Meng snorted again, Song You scratched his ears and smiled, secretly making up his mind to make another trip today, and invite He Juren tomorrow no matter what.

It was already afternoon when Song Cheng came out of the academy with Yu Xi. Song Cheng knew that Yu Xi's house lived far away, and they probably hadn't eaten for a long time today, so they simply ate bowls at the stall outside. Noodles, and save the time to go home and cook.

"Xiao Xi, how have you been these past few years? How is your family?" Song Cheng asked with some guilt.

"I'm fine, and everything is fine at home." Yu Xi answered quickly, he drank all the soup in the bowl, Song Cheng wanted to order him another bowl of noodles, Yu Xi shook his head and said: " No need bro, I'm already full."

"Well, if you're hungry at night, there are steamed buns at home, which can be used as a cushion." Song Cheng said with a smile, Yu Xi nodded, and Song Cheng asked again: "Where did you study?"

"Cunxue, there was an old scholar in our village who taught us to read, and he passed away at the end of the year." Yu Xi said.

"My condolences." Song Cheng said, now Yu Xi has grown older than Yu Ci at that time, I think Yu Ci will look like this when he grows up.Yu Ci was the first person in Song Cheng's life to personally experience the passing away. It was the first time Song Cheng had tasted that powerless feeling. He felt that Yu Ci was the white moonlight in his heart. No matter how long he lived, he would always remember it. .

"Brother, shall we go back?" Seeing that Song Cheng was in a daze, Yu Xi pushed Song Cheng and said, Song Cheng recovered from Yu Xi's push, he got up and paid the money and said, "Let's go."

Song Cheng took Yu Xi to the entrance of the alley, he smiled and introduced to Yu Xi: "The house above is a Taoist priest, and he hasn't been back for many years, the second house is Qi Yue's house, you have seen Qi Yue's house too. Yue, the boy who accompanied me to find Ci, has gone to the Imperial College to study now, and his mother, Aunt Qi, is still at home, and you will see her in the future. The innermost house is where I live now, let’s go, I'll take you in."

"Oh" Yu Xi followed Song Cheng to the front of the library, Song Cheng unlocked it, and led Yu Xi through the library to the yard, Yu Xi said in surprise: "Brother, there is actually a library outside."

"Well, it's just that no one comes to buy books, so you can just treat it as a library." Song Cheng said with a smile, he took Yu Xi to the backyard, cleaned up the room that had been vacant all the time, and said: "You I live in this room, the main room belongs to the teacher, Brother Xu in the East Wing will live there when he comes back, although the backyard is a little bit out of the way, it is quiet, just convenient for you to study hard."

"Thank you brother." Yu Xi smiled, Song Cheng stretched out his hand and rubbed Yu Xi's head and said, "Why are you so polite?" The head said: "Brother, don't rub my head from now on."

"Small sample, if you don't touch it, don't touch it." Song Cheng said with a smile.

Guozijian also has a few days off every month, Qi Yue wore the school uniform of Guozijian, and finally came back after being imprisoned for a month.He went home and showed his face to Lady Qi, then went to the next door to find Song Cheng.Unexpectedly, after standing at the door and shouting for a long time, Song Cheng did not come out. He stretched out his hand and pushed the door, and it was opened. Qi Yue thought to himself, could this be a thief?

He walked in on tiptoe. He looked around the front yard and found nothing wrong. Just as he was about to turn around and go out, he heard some noises in the backyard. Could it be that the thief ran into the backyard?

Qi Yue turned into the backyard and saw that it was a child who was reading a book. This child was reciting the book seriously, and he didn't notice him at all. Where did this child come from?Song Cheng imitated Master Xu and picked it up outside?So obedient, exactly the same.

"Hey, kid, who are you, why are you at Master Xu's house?" Qi Yue asked in a ruffian manner as he leaned against the wall with his arms folded, and almost had another straw in his mouth.

"Who are you?" Yu Xi retorted.

"Who am I and why did I tell you?" Qi Yue had never seen such an airy child, he suddenly got excited and wanted to tease the little old man, but unexpectedly, Yu Xi glanced at him, and then continued to endorse.

Qi Yue: ...

"Do you know where Song Cheng went?" Qi Yue asked.

Yu Xi put down the book, looked up at the sky and said, "I'll be back later."

Qi Yue said "Oh" and said: "Then you continue to memorize." Then he went to Song Cheng's room to read Song Cheng's new works familiarly, but Song Cheng has been very busy recently, and there is no new writing at all. What a story, but let him turn out a letter, the envelope is obviously his own words.Qi Yue frowned and thought for a moment, this letter should be at his home, why did it get to Chengzi?

He stretched out his hand to open the envelope, and the contents were indeed written by himself. Qi Yue flipped through it a little, and the life in the military camp before the Northern Expedition seemed to be still in front of him. At that time, Pan Mei was still the former Pan Mei, with the most prestigious military reputation and military achievements First, it is admired by thousands of people, and now...

Suddenly two lines of words jumped into my eyes, the branches were covered with snow, and I thought a lot.

I wrote these eight characters twice in a row. This is not my original letter, it should be written by Chengzi.Qi Yue's fingertips slowly slid across Song Cheng's words, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Are you back?" Song Cheng asked standing at the door, Qi Yue turned his head when he heard the sound, saw Song Cheng standing at the door, he smiled and stepped forward to embrace Song Cheng into his arms, the two of them sat on the couch sticking together: " Where have you been, I didn't see you when I just came here."

"I'm going to the bookstore." Song Cheng said, he stretched out his hand and pushed Qi Yue aside, "Don't stick to me as soon as you come back, Xiao Xi is in the backyard."

"Xiaoxi, is that the kid who endorsed the book in the backyard just now? Have you heard that name somewhere?" Qi Yue said, but his hands became tighter. Song Cheng tore him off and said, "It's Yu Yu. Ci's younger brother, stay here temporarily."

"Did you go to Yu Ci's house?" Qi Yue saw that Song Cheng was holding on tightly, so he let him tear himself off, and obediently sat on the side and talked with Song Cheng's hand.Song Cheng also enjoyed such a quiet time, he moved slightly towards Qi Yue and said, "No, I went to see Master Meng in the academy a few days ago, and I happened to meet Xiao Xi, there was no place to live in the academy, so I called him home Come."

"Oh, that's it. Is Master Meng okay?" Qi Yue nodded and asked.

"I have a cough, and I look a lot older. I'm getting older, but I'm still in good spirits." Song Cheng said, "I also saw Song You this time, and he has changed a lot compared to before."

The author has something to say: #Mengfuzi taught well, but Song You almost got crooked.
