The sad reminder of the science man

Chenggong Xue's house lives comfortably, and Xue Chi is also very obedient and well-behaved.After Xue Pan and Xue Chi Chenggong came to Xue's house, their studies were also on the right track.In the morning, Xue Pan and Xue Jia followed Father Xue to find Master Yang Wu to exercise.In the morning, Xue Pan and Xue Chi followed Mr. Li to practice calligraphy and trace red.In the afternoon, Xue Pan continued to learn from Mr. Li, while Xue Chi learned some basic knowledge from Cheng Gong to lay a solid foundation for the future.

Life is going very well, Cheng Gong has lived in Xue's house for more than half a year, and in December, Cheng Gong no longer lives in Xue's house but is going back to the capital for the New Year.

Cheng Gong's family is originally the capital city, this year the Xue family was able to find Cheng Gong in Hangzhou, it was because Cheng Gong had an illness last year, not a serious illness, but because Cheng Gong was old after all, and his family was worried, so he insisted on going to Jiangnan Come to recuperate.After a year of recuperation, coupled with the meticulous care of Xue's family, Cheng Gong's health has improved a lot, so Cheng Gong decided to return to the capital this year for the New Year, and the capital asked Xue Chi to formally perform the ceremony of apprenticeship.

Cheng Gong is a great Confucianist, and he has taught many disciples, but most of them took the imperial examination to become an official. Even if they were interested in learning astronomy, geography, water conservancy, mathematics, etc. from him at the beginning, they were very focused on the Four Books and Five Classics superior.As long as there is a little talent, they will want to take the imperial examination to become an official. The social atmosphere is like this, and Cheng Gong is not easy to stop him. He just sighed and put his regrets in his heart.

Cheng Gong's disciples also know that their teacher is sorry, and they will recommend them to the teacher when they meet good seedlings. On the surface, he pretended to be interested, hoping that Cheng Gong would accept them.But Mr. Cheng's old eyes don't matter. He knew what they were thinking, so he checked that they were not accepted. Later, Cheng Gong gradually stopped this thought, and let the disciples no longer have to look for good seedlings!

This year, Chenggong went to Hangzhou to recuperate, but he didn't tell many people. When the Xue family and his son came to visit, Chenggong didn't plan to see him. He recommended Xue Chi again and again, so Cheng Gong still met Xue Chi.

After Cheng Gong met Xue Chi, he had a good first impression of Xue Chi. He could see that Xue Chi was really interested and talented in miscellaneous learning in the eyes of others, but he was not sure whether Xue Chi would be able to persevere. At the same time, Cheng Gong was not sure whether Xue's father would force Xue Jia to study and become an official, so although Cheng Gong liked Xue Jia's talent, he decided to wait and see.

These days it is hard to find a good master, but it is hard to find an excellent disciple and a disciple who suits you well.Cheng Gong finally found a Xue Chi, so naturally he had to test it.

Cheng Gong first asked Xue Zhi to come to Cheng's mansion every day in Hangzhou, and did not teach him the specifics, but only taught Xue Zhi to practice calligraphy and let him draw red.Let's see if Xue Chi can persevere and have perseverance.The result is also very satisfying to Chenggong. Xue Zhi insisted on coming to Chengfu every day for a month in Hangzhou, and he did not miss a day of class, and he also completed the homework assigned every day on time.Maybe it was Xue Jia's own intention, which shows that Xue Jia has perseverance; maybe it is Xue's father's request, and Xue Jia dare not not listen, which at least shows that Xue Jia is obedient.Regardless of which of these two reasons caused Xue Jia to come to Cheng's house every day to attend classes, Cheng Gong only focused on the results, that is, Xue Jia came every day and completed his homework without making noise. Chi passed the first level.Needless to say, Cheng Gong is very satisfied with Xue Chi's memory, and Xue Chi is very good at sending things, but none of Cheng Gong's former disciples has such a good memory.

The next step is the second hurdle. Cheng Gong's acceptance of disciples still depends on the character.Although Xue Chi is still young, as the saying goes, three-year-olds look old, basically a child can basically understand a child's personality at the age of three, and family reasons are also important factors for a child's growth, so Cheng Gong decided to live in Xue's house.

For nearly a year in the Xue family, Cheng Gong launched a long-term test on Xue Chi.

First of all, talent. Xue Chi's performance made Cheng Gong's eyes shine. For mathematics, Xue Chi has a very high talent. You must know that mathematics is the foundation of those miscellaneous studies.In addition, Xue Chixu is young and his head is not rigid. Sometimes the words that come out of his mouth are very reasonable, and sometimes even Cheng Gong is touched.In addition, Xue Chi satisfied Chenggong because Xue Chi has strong hands-on ability and he is very focused.

No matter his temper, Xue Chi is filial to his parents, friendly to his brothers and sisters, respects himself very much, and is not that arrogant to his servants.Although loved and loved by the family, he has not developed an arrogant personality.Xue Chi has a pure mind and is full of enthusiasm.Xue Chi learns when it is time to study, but also plays a lot when it is time to play, but children, it is normal to be greedy for fun, and Cheng Gong is not the kind of old-fashioned gentleman who forces people to learn all day long. Cheng Gong thinks that only Xue Chi Just complete assignments on time.Furthermore, although Xue Chi likes to enjoy himself, he eats delicacies from mountains and seas, and uses silk and satin, all of which are exquisite, but the Xue family is very rich, and Xue Chi is not the kind of extravagant and wasteful person, so Cheng Although the public is not very supportive of Xue Chi's preference, he will not be disgusted.

Furthermore, Cheng Gong also made some observations about Xue Chi's relatives.Although the Xue family was born as a businessman, the Xue family has been hidden behind the scenes for the past few years, and Xue's father no longer came out to do business in person, but the manager and shopkeeper below, and had the idea of ​​changing the family.

Father Xue is not the kind of businessman who only knows profit. Although he has taken good care of him in the past year, he has a good sense of proportion.

Xue's mother is loving and doting on the child, but with Xue's father watching, it's not a big problem.

Xue Pan, the twin with Xue Jia, is not the kind of narrow-minded person. Although Xue Pan has a bit of a temper, he is very good to people he recognizes, and Xue Jia is also on this list.After all, Xue Chi is the second son, and it is his blessing to have an open-minded elder brother.

Let's talk about Xue Hao, the younger sister of Xue Chi.Xue Hao, Cheng Gong didn't have much contact, after all, she was too young, but through the discussion between Xue Jia and Xue Pan, and the few contacts, Cheng Gong felt that if Xue Hao was a man, he would definitely go far in the officialdom.It's a pity that it's a daughter, but it's also a daughter. Both Xue Pan and Xue Jia are open-minded people, simple-minded, and sincere. However, Xue Hao has a heavy heart. I don't know how the Xue family raised a son who is completely opposite to a daughter. character.If Xue Hao is a man, it is inevitable that the Xue family will fight for the family business in the future, and the possibility of brother Ni Qiang is very high.But since Xue Hao was born as a daughter, it will be a dowry.

Talent, personality, family, and Xue Chi's conditions are all satisfactory to Cheng Gong, but Xue Chi is not clear about the meaning of the article. Cheng Gong seems to be Xue Chi's great advantage. After all, everyone in the world is promoted through the imperial examination, and Xue Chi's talent, If it wasn't for not being ignorant of the article, the Xue family would never let Xue Chi follow him to learn miscellaneous knowledge from the eyes of the world.And it was Xue Chi's shortcoming that made Cheng Gong accept Xue Chi as his disciple!

After getting along for a year, Cheng Gong decided to accept Xue Chi as a closed disciple, and let Xue Chi inherit his mantle except for literature.Because it is discreet, it is formal.Most of Cheng Gong's disciples were officials in the capital, and only a few were from other places.So Cheng Gong decided to bring Xue Jia to the capital, let Xue Jia formally apprentice in the capital, and let Xue Jia meet his other disciples, which also meant to let other disciples take care of Xue Jia.After all, Xue Zhi will not take the imperial examination in the future, but will inherit his mantle in other aspects. They are all his disciples. Xue Zhi is weak, and other disciples should take care of Xue Zhi.

Furthermore, Cheng Gong has been out for more than a year, and now that he has recuperated, he has to go back to the capital to take care of him. Although Xue's family takes good care of him, he can't spend the New Year with Xue's family, right?Moreover, it is better to have the formal apprenticeship ceremony in the capital.
