Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Zhou Zhao was quite curious, and hurriedly asked, "Whose family is it? Senior brother, how do you know?"

Shen Yi said: "Just now I went to the teacher's house to deliver some things, and I happened to hear a few words from the old man." After that, he briefly talked about Li Shouzhong's visit to Gu's house today.

Zhou Zhao's mind was sharp, and he understood Li Shouzhong's intention after a little thought. He shook his head and said, "This Li Shouzhong has made a wrong idea. The teacher has already said that he will not accept students easily, not to mention that I have heard about the Jia family's affairs." The Rongguo Mansion doesn't distinguish between young and old, the behavior of the Ningguo Mansion is absurd, and the affair of that uncle Zhen is even more rumored in the family. It is really extremely dirty. The teacher always hates this kind of family. No matter how talented Lan Er's baby is, the teacher will definitely not accept it."

To be honest, he didn't agree with it too much. The Jia family is too unorganized. Although this kid has excellent aptitude, there are many people as outstanding as him. I don't know how many people have come to learn from him over the years, and there are many talented people among them. I didn't see the teacher being tempted. Besides, the child is too young. The teacher is old, and he doesn't have the energy to teach a little doll.

Shen Yi naturally understood Zhou Zhao's meaning. The teacher never cared about one's background when looking at people, and the five disciples he took in were all talented people, some from famous families and some from poor families. He is unwilling to participate in court battles, and the two younger brothers from famous families are both upright and scholarly families, even a poor family like the third senior brother Sun Jin is also innocent.

But the Jia family is domineering, and the subordinates rely on dominance. As far as he knows, they are also related to the old line of Prince Yizhong. Anyone with a discerning eye can see what will happen in the future, and Jia Lan's talent is not outstanding enough to make the teacher tempted. To the point of accepting him as a disciple.

Shen Yi rubbed his chin and said with a smile: "Even so, it's just that this little doll is really interesting. It's a pity that such a good seed full of spirituality should be taught by those sour scholars."

Zhou Zhao heard the unfinished meaning in his words, and couldn't help but startled, wondering: "Didn't senior brother say that he would not accept disciples before? Why, today he changed his mind and planned to accept apprentices?"

He knows this senior brother best. Although he is young, he is the most talented among all the senior brothers. He is good at poetry and calligraphy, calligraphy and painting. In recent years, I don't know how many people have come to ask for paintings with money.

Shen Yi smiled slightly and said, "I haven't met you for many years.

I've never had someone like me. "

He has been obsessed with conceiving things all his life, and it is rare to meet a child with this talent, so he is a little delighted to see him.

It turns out that Shen Yi was born in a prominent family, 12 years ago at the age of top [-] in high school, it was a sensation in the capital at that time.

He is very talented and has the ability of photographic memory. After staying in the Imperial Academy for a few months, he read nine out of ten of the classics. Even the current emperor praised him very much and praised him for being a genius.

It's just that although this Shen Yi is a child of everyone, he behaves a bit uninhibited and uninhibited. He did his own thing. He returned to Ding You because of his mother's death after serving in the Imperial Academy for less than half a year. The teacher Gu Yan traveled around and spent eight years compiling a "Hengwuzhi" covering astronomy and geography, which became famous in the literary world.

Shen Yi is only [-] years old now, and he has already faintly ranked among the famous masters in the world.

Knowing his temperament, Zhou Zhaosu hurriedly persuaded him: "Nowadays, the dispute between the princes is raging, and the Jia family is involved in it, and they are misbehaving. I am afraid that there will be disasters in the future. Brother, I should think carefully about it. Talented students Just search again, why bother to get involved in this muddy water."

Shen Yi groaned and remained silent, tapped the table with his slender index finger like jade, and said flatly: "No hurry, I don't have to accept him, let's have a look first."

It's not easy to be his disciple. Although this kid has good aptitude, he doesn't know what his character is. We'll wait for him to test it himself.

Zhou Zhao thought that he had listened to his persuasion, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

On the other side, during the evening break, Gu Yan also talked with his wife about Li Shouzhong's visit today, and they praised him very much.

Mrs. Gu was quite puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Previously, so many princes and nobles, famous officials and scholars came to visit and didn't see you differently. Why did Li Shouzhong vote for you instead?"

Gu Yan said with a smile: "This Li Shouzhong is very talented and learned, otherwise he would not be able to sit in the position of offering wine to the Imperial Academy. Although his temperament is a bit blunt, he is a rare pure and kind person.

When a group of Jiangnan students came to Beijing to take the exam, one of the scholars was accused of plagiarizing other people's poems. At that time, everyone drew a clear line with that scholar. Only Li Shouzhong believed in the other party's character, argued hard, and worked hard to find evidence To clear the suspicion for the other party, I felt that this person was a person worthy of friendship.

And I see that it has been an official for dozens of years, but it can stick to its original heart and has never been stained by the filth of officialdom. "

Mrs. Gu suddenly realized, nodded and said: "So that's the case, I still

It's strange why the master suddenly changed his temper. It turns out that there are such reasons. "

Gu Yan sighed: "It's a pity to say that Li Shouzhong and that scholar from the same village were just acquaintances at the beginning, but they were able to achieve that level. When our family was in trouble, our close relatives turned against each other and made trouble."

Mrs. Gu has been married to him for many years, and she understands his thoughts best. Knowing that he has never been able to let go of the changes in the Gu family, she couldn't help but sighed secretly, and quickly changed the subject, saying: "I heard Huier say that Mrs. Li's daughter married It's pitiful to be a widow at home after entering Jia's house."

Gu Yan was startled when he heard the words, and then sighed: "I am still a little surprised today, saying that Li Shouzhong has always been upright and straightforward, how could he change his nature this time, suddenly pull down his face and beg for favors for his grandson, so this is the reason."

After finishing speaking, he explained in detail the meaning of Li Shouzhong's apprenticeship revealed in his speech today.

Mrs. Gu felt a little emotional after hearing this, and sighed: "It's not easy to pity the hearts of parents in the world. I heard from Huier that Master Li's grandson used to live with his widowed mother, but now there is only one teacher to teach him, not even a serious gentleman. Now he is begging us, what does the master mean?"

Gu Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "Although Li Shouzhong is good at learning, he is not good at teaching children. I have also heard about his son. He is the head of the Ministry of Rites. He has the same temperament as him, but his qualifications are mediocre.

The grandson brought up by Li Shouzhong must be in the same line as him. They are all loyal to the monarch and the country. "

His vision has always been very high, and the disciples he has accepted are all talented people, not to mention that he has heard many jokes about the Jia family within a few months after returning to Beijing. His behavior is really unpleasant, and he does not want to deal with the Jia family , Naturally, he never thought of accepting Jia Lan as his disciple.

It's just that Li Shouzhong didn't say it clearly, and he couldn't refuse directly, but he had already made up his mind that no matter what the other party said tomorrow, he would find a reason to decline it.

The couple talked again, and they didn't sleep until the middle of the night.

Two flowers bloomed, each representing a branch. Li Shouzhong was racking his brains for his grandson's study, while Li Wan also encountered an embarrassing incident.

But it is said that December 40 is Jia Zhen's [-]th birthday. You and Qin Keqing's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to Rongguo Mansion to invite them in person the day before. , On this day, I didn't dare to disturb your old man; but it's rare that the weather is fine these two days, and the plum blossoms in the garden are in full bloom. I want to invite my ancestors

In the past, I went to relax and see how lively the children and grandchildren were. I just wondered whether the ancestors would like to show respect. "

Although Jia Mu is old, she is very excited. Hearing this, she said with a smile: "This is a good thing. I love the lively ones the most. I will go tomorrow."

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing also said it when they heard the words. You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were more happy, so they asked Sister Feng and Li Wan again.

Before Li Wan could speak, Sister Feng smiled and said, "Of course I will go to such good things. I don't care about anything else, as long as there are drinks and shows."

Jia Mu and others all laughed and said, "That's true."

Hearing this, Mrs. You hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. A few days ago, a very good little show was scheduled. The Zhuangzi also sent fresh venison, roe, roe and other wild game. Coincidentally, a new cook of Huaiyang cuisine came over. , I made good snacks, tomorrow we will watch a play in Huifang Garden first, and then go to enjoy plum blossoms after eating in the garden."

Qin Keqing also pursed her lips and smiled, "There will be no outsiders at that time, only our own family will be lively."

After hearing this, Li Wan laughed and said, "Since that's the case, I'll also enjoy the honor of the old ladies and join in the fun."

Then Baoyu, Daiyu, Baochai and others also said to go, and You Shi sent someone to invite Aunt Xue over, so naturally they also said to go.

The next day, Li Wan got up early in the morning. After washing up, he ate half a bowl of Bijaponica rice porridge with a few dishes, and a steamed stuffed bun with tofu skin.

Xia Zhu had already packed the clothes for going out, and took them to look at Li Wan, and said: "I thought that today is Uncle Zhen's birthday, and we will not be as plain as before when we go to celebrate his birthday. Suyun made it a few days ago, what does grandma think?"

Li Wan looked, and saw that it was a sky blue embroidered round collar ermine jacket, the skirt, collar and cuffs were all embroidered with small and delicate wintersweet with gold thread, matched with a light yellow embroidered cotton satin skirt, elegant but not plain, He nodded and said, "This is very appropriate."

At the moment Xia Zhu brought Suyun to serve Li Wan to change into clothes, Biyue combed her a generous lily bun, Danju also brought a filigree box over, and said, "Grandma will wear this today."

After opening the box, it turned out to be a set of red gold lace and plum blossom style pearl heads, small and unique.

Li Wan glanced at it and said, "It's enough to only wear hairpins, hairpins, earrings and bracelets, and it would be cumbersome if there were too many."

Although today is to celebrate her birthday, she is a widow after all, and she doesn't look like she is too gorgeous.

Danju agreed, and as promised, she took out these hairpin rings and handed them to Biyue.

When everything was cleared up, Li Wan went to greet Mrs. Wang first, and then went to Jia Mu's room. At this time, Daiyu and her sisters also arrived.
