When Yan Shu asked Li Yunyao to fly the kite kite, Shen Yilu and Shen Ji were not idle either.Because Shen Ji said that he wanted to study, Shen Yilu prepared to find a talented teacher for her early on. After searching for a few days, he finally found a suitable candidate, so he took her to the teacher's home during the Dragon Boat Festival.

The carriage left the prosperous streets and alleys, and arrived at a residential area slightly remote from the inner city.Shen Ji, who didn't know that her father brought her to find the teacher, jumped out of the carriage first, and then turned around to help her father off the carriage.

"Where is this?" Shen Ji asked the housekeeper Qiu who accompanied him.

Qiu Guanjia said: "This is a public housing estate under the jurisdiction of the Loudian Office."

Shen Ji understood, this is what her mother called "low-rent housing/public rental housing".

After all, Bianliang is the capital of the country, and the prices are expensive, so the housing prices are naturally high, so most people who cannot afford a house are the majority.There are many officials who have just entered the official career and have no background and need to rent a house.

The imperial court will also provide some conveniences for these groups of people, such as providing them with low-rent public housing, which is affordable with their income.

"Are we here to visit father's colleagues?" Shen Ji asked.

She didn't think it should be any relatives. After all, there were almost no relatives worthy of her father's visit in person, so she guessed it should be her father's colleagues who were highly respected.

Shen Yilu said with a smile: "The one we are going to visit later is your teacher, and you are right to say that he is Dad's colleague."

Shen Ji: "..."

What?

"Father, what teacher?" Shen Ji pretended to be stupid.

"Didn't you say you want to study? That's why Dad found a teacher who is both talented and knowledgeable for you. You should be more respectful when you meet him later."

Shen Ji didn't do it!

She said: "Father, you haven't agreed to let me marry Li Yunyao yet, why should I listen to your words and go to apprentice?"

"The matter of marrying a wife cannot be decided in a day, but your study can start now. When you start studying and let father see your determination, father will agree to you."

"Don't break your promise?"

"One word."

"The hook."

Shen Yilu was speechless, if he wanted to break his oath, how could he restrain him with just a hook?

However, he did not reject Shen Ji's innocent request, and he stretched out his fingers helplessly to hook her.

Shen Ji is not worried about her father fooling herself, after all, even if she is deceived, there is her mother, right?So she responded readily, and asked again: "Who is the teacher that Dad found for me?"

"Prince Zhongyun and Li Mu who were called back to court at the beginning of the month." Shen Yilu said.

Through Shen Yilu's science popularization, Shen Ji found out that her teacher Li Mu was a Jinshi during the Great Zhou Xiande's reign, and he could write articles since he was a child, and he wrote very well.Not only that, but he also has a good handwriting and is good at painting. In her mother's words, he is a great talent with excellent calligraphy, painting, poetry and prose.

However, he has a quirk, that is, he likes to hide his expertise in calligraphy and painting.The same is true for writing articles. I like to "burn after writing", and I don't leave a manuscript or anything, which makes everyone very curious about what shady content he wrote.

Some people say that he is low-key and modest, others say that he is very demanding on himself, and he does not want people to know his imperfect calligraphy, painting and poetry. Being picked on by others became a reason to criticize him.

This kind of statement is not without reason: at the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, he was already a general judge—that is, the second in command of the state government—but because of various mistakes he made during his official career, he was dismissed from his post and later dismissed. The person he recommended was a person of bad conduct. He was implicated and even lost his official qualifications accumulated over the past ten years, so that he has been idle at home.

This made him very cautious in his dealings in the following years.After he was dismissed, he went to seek refuge with his younger brother in Bozhou. It was not until the beginning of this year that he was called back to court by Boss Zhao and awarded the crown prince Zhongyun under the fifth rank. ①

Shen Yilu did not express his opinions on Li Mu's various behaviors, but he was able to personally ask the latter to accept Shen Ji as a student, which proved that he recognized the latter's talents, morals and principles of life.

While the father and daughter were chatting, the door of the simple public house opened, and a middle-aged man in a clean old shirt walked out.When he saw Shen Yilu, he bowed and saluted: "Your officer Li Mu, I have met Deputy Envoy Shen."

"Li Zhongyun doesn't need to be too polite." Shen Yilu gently held his hand, making him look at him at the same level.

The other party's seniority is higher than her own, and she has an official status. Even if she is not an apprentice, Shen Ji should still salute the other party, so she saluted him.

"This is Inuzi Jizong." Shen Yilu introduced with a smile.

Li Mu didn't know the purpose of the father and son's visit, but he invited them in anyway.After they entered the house, Li Mu asked someone to serve cold rice soup. Shen Yilu took a symbolic sip, and immediately asked whether Li Mugang had any difficulties returning to Bianliang.

In the face of this superior official who can influence his official career, Li Mu's words and deeds are also very cautious: "The deputy envoy is concerned, and everything is fine for the subordinate official."

Shen Yilu chatted with him for a while, and saw that he had said a lot of polite words, so he cut to the point and said that he wanted to ask him to help teach his son.

Li Mu was very surprised, he knew that Shen Yilu's advice was not simply to answer one or two questions, but to accept his son as a student.Apprenticeship is a very solemn and serious matter. With Shen Yilu's ability, he can go to places such as Hanlin scholar Lu Duoxun, Hu Meng and Li Fang who are in charge of presiding over the tribute exams. How could he come to find a low-ranking official who doesn't even have a real job? Woolen cloth?

He is an honest person, and his words and deeds are from the bottom of his heart, so he asked: "Excuse me for asking, why didn't the deputy envoy go to Lu Duoxun, a scholar of the Imperial Academy? He is from the same school as the official. In terms of talent and learning, it is above me."

Of course, what he didn't say was that with Lu Duoxun as a teacher with a bright future, Shen Ji could get more help when he became an official.

Shen Yilu smiled slightly, and said: "Li Zhongyun don't need to underestimate yourself. You learned from Wang Zhaosu and got his "Yi Lun". Among his many disciples, you are the only one who can get this kind of privilege. Therefore, in the eyes of this old man, you are extremely talented. , talent and learning will never be inferior to anyone.”

He has been an official for many years, and he has always understood the principle of being wise and protecting one's life. It is a taboo to form a party for personal gain. Didn't he, Xue Zheng'an and others' sons get a favor after the news came out that Prime Minister Zhao Ping and Li Chongju were planning to marry?So if he really asked Shen Ji to worship Lu Duoxun as his teacher, Boss Zhao would definitely be suspicious of them.

Li Mu's official rank is low, and he didn't hold any important position, but he is talented, indifferent to things, and has high moral character. Letting Shen Ji get in touch with him more will definitely do more good than harm to Shen Ji.

Seeing that they were really boring talking about these scenes, Shen Ji couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly went to Li Mu to salute: "Teacher, just accept me. I'm very smart and easy to teach. I won't delay your work."

Li Mu: "..."

Why are the "son" and father in two styles?

When he saw Shen Ji behaved very politely just now, he thought he was calm like Shen Yilu, but he didn't expect to be so lively.

Li Mu quietly glanced at Shen Yilu, wondering if he thought his son was too lively, so he came to him, hoping that he could help him to teach|teach him?

No matter what was on his mind, he always had to think again.

Shen Yilu didn't force him to make a decision right away, so he took Shen Ji back first.

On the way back, Shen Ji asked, "Father, who is Wang Zhaosu?"

"He is a highly respected hermit with profound knowledge. He is the most outstanding in the "Nine Classics". A bachelor is a student of him, and Li Zhongyun got 23 chapters of "Yi Lun" written by him from him." ②

"Such a celebrity, why didn't father recommend him to be an official?" Shen Ji asked.

"He is indifferent to fame and wealth and refuses to be an official."

Shen Ji rolled his eyes, thinking, Li Yunyao should be very interested in such celebrities, and when they get married, she will use this to lure Li Yunyao...

Shen Yilu didn't know what she was thinking, but he also knew what kind of idea it was, so he said: "If you have nothing to do, come here to ask questions, maybe he will accept you as a student if he is soft-hearted."

Shen Ji thought of Li Mu's "good old man" persona, and immediately understood her father's "sinister" intentions,—didn't she just hope that she would behave badly in front of Li Mu more to win his sympathy!

Unexpectedly, her father seemed serious, but he was actually a cunning and cunning one.

But let alone, even if her father hadn't instigated her to come and sell more misery, she would have come here by herself, not for anything else, just because of Li Mu's eccentricity.

It's not that she likes Li Mu's eccentricity, but that she feels that Li Mu's habit of "burning after writing" is a pity. She can detain it, no, it is to carry out rescue protection of these manuscripts...

When Li Mu becomes a boss one day, when her net worth rises and the value of her articles also rises, she will get rich!

Shen Ji thought happily.

The father and daughter returned home, and Yan Shu also returned, so Shen Yilu went to discuss with Yan Shu about proposing marriage to the Li family.Shen Ji was bored, and wanted to find Lu Nianchuan, but before she left, Nanny Liu caught her and said, "The young lady of the Li family has recommended many books for Mr. Xiao Lang, Mr. Mr. Xiao should read and preview at home first! "

Shen Ji: "..."

What is she saying?

Cooperating with Li Yunyao, the miserable life after marriage begins before marriage!

The author says:

after many years--

Shen Xiaoji: Do you want books on Hanlin bachelors and political affairs?That's right, that's the deputy prime minister who participated in the compilation of "Tai|Zu Shilu". I have a unique copy of his article. Don't need 9998, just 998. Take one copy home.

Li Mu: Prime Minister Shen tricked me!
