[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

Wang Yue is talented and willing to work hard. What's more rare is that he has a heart that does not seek fame and wealth. If he can be included in the name, he should be able to inherit his mantle.

As for Gao Qili's teasing that he is already at the level of a master, Lin Qing scoffed at what you need to teach.He admitted that the little guy is indeed not bad, but the master?He is still far behind.

Since Gao Qili mentioned this student in front of him, he has visited the houses that collect his paintings many times, studied his paintings carefully, and he has already seen the hidden beauty of this little guy under the magnificent style of painting. shortcoming.

This little guy has a good foundation, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. Isn't this what a teacher should do.

However, Lin Qing still considered whether the praise of him from the outside world would affect the mentality of this little guy?

After all, he is still a young man, young and energetic, and he has been praised by the outside world for a long time, so he will inevitably feel arrogance. He really feels that he has reached the level of a master and does not need others to teach him. If he accepts such an apprentice, wouldn't it be Find anger for yourself?

Although Gao Qili had repeatedly assured him that Wang Yue did not have such a temperament, he was very persuasive and had a humble temperament, so he would definitely not put on airs of the master in front of him, show off his power, and refuse to listen to his teachings.

But Lin Qing naturally still had doubts in his heart. After all, what Gao Qili taught him was Confucianism, not painting, which he was best at.

In the way of Confucianism, Wang Yue is just getting started, so he will naturally respect Gao Qili who has gone further.

What's more, Gao Qili is a teacher of the Guozijian, and has taught for many years. If Wang Yue wants to do well in the Guozijian, of course he is willing to establish a good relationship with a teacher who admires him.

Who knows whether his performance in front of Gao Qili is just pretending or true temperament?

Don't say that you are young and can't pretend, you will suffer if you underestimate children.

Although he has such doubts, Lin Qing is still reluctant to part with such a qualified student, so he has made up his mind a long time ago that he must give Wang Yue a blow today, at least to make him believe in himself, so that he can obey in the future discipline.

As for how to do it, there will be a long time to come.

But in all of Lin Qing's assumptions, he never imagined that this child would be able to recognize his own level so clearly, and behave so modestly, and be so kind after he had been acting so rude all the time.

Even in the most beautiful dream, Lin Qing never thought that she would get such a good-tempered child as her apprentice.

For a moment, Lin Qing didn't know whether to laugh happily, or to be ashamed of her overthinking.

It's not that Lin Qing has never thought about whether the young man in front of him is acting, but if he can act to his level, does it mean that the young man really likes him as a teacher?

If that's the case, it wouldn't be a bad thing to accept him as an apprentice.

"Forget it, I've been a villain in vain!" Lin Qing sighed helplessly, as if complaining, but his words were full of joy.

Seeing him like this, Wang Yue knew that the matter of apprenticeship was appropriate, so he couldn't help smiling, and smiled happily at Lin Qing: "Thank you, teacher, the disciple is being polite here."

Feeling really worried, Gao Qili, who had been hiding behind the bookshelf to eavesdrop and peek, didn't hide anymore, he hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands to congratulate him: "Congratulations Brother Lin for accepting a good apprentice, and congratulations to Yue'er for being a good teacher! "

Wang Yue shyly pursed her lips and smiled, not saying much, Gao Qili quickly walked to his side, pushed him and said, "Why don't you kneel down and pay respects to your teacher?"

After Wang Yue heard this, she was about to kneel down, but Lin Qing stepped forward to support him and said, "It's not in a hurry."

After hearing what he said, Wang Yue was fine, Gao Qili became anxious first, "Could it be that you want to go back on your word?"

"Since I want to accept apprentices, I naturally want to be upright. How can I be so sneaky like I am now? It seems like I have done something bad and have people behind my back."

Lin Qing turned around and asked the young man, "Qiu Xi, what good days are there these days?"

Qiu Xi lowered her head and thought for a while, then said: "The fifth day of next month will be very good."

"Since that's the case, go and tell the housekeeper to deliver invitations, and invite more people to let them know that I have received a good apprentice. It can also be regarded as a reminder to them, telling them to pay attention and not to bully others."

After Lin Qing finished speaking, he turned to Wang Yue and said, "From today onwards, you are my apprentice. When you go outside in the future, if anyone bullies you, you can just report my name. In this capital, although I am afraid I can't stop everyone, and at least I can frighten them to the seventh or eighth level, my apprentice can't be bullied by others."

Wang Yue knew that the reason why Lin Qing wanted to make a big deal of the apprenticeship ceremony was to show off that he had accepted a good apprentice. It was fake, and it was true to let people know that Wang Yue was not easy to bully.

Before he really became a teacher, he had already received the teacher's favor, which made Wang Yue a little embarrassed and deeply moved. This is because he has nothing to repay right now, so he had to use words to guarantee his determination: "Don't worry, teacher. The disciple will definitely study hard in the future and will never disappoint the teacher's expectations."

"Since you have such determination, then I can rest assured." Lin Qing heard the sincerity in his words, and felt more and more satisfied. After speaking, he turned to look at Gao Qili and said, "You still call him Yue'er? He No words yet?"

"Well," Gao Qili explained for Wang Yue: "At first, I was young and couldn't get up, but now that I'm older, and I have already achieved fame, I can naturally get up, but what his family means is to invite a The venerable elder chose the character for him, and originally wanted to ask me to start it, but I thought that I would worship you as my teacher at that time, so I didn't want to overwhelm the host, and it happens to be the fifth day of the next month, so why don't you choose a character for him? Right?"

Lin Qing was very satisfied with Gao Qili's wit and interest, he stroked his beard and said, "You still have self-knowledge."

What he said made Gao Qili angry and funny, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.

Lin Qing ignored him, and just said to Wang Yue: "I see that you were very satisfied with the books on the shelf just now, do you want to read them?"

Wang Yue didn't hold back either. After Lin Qing asked, he nodded with certainty: "The disciple naturally wants to see it."

If someone else said this, with Lin Qing's temper, he would have to dislike him for speaking too bluntly and being impolite, but now that his apprentice said it, Lin Qing only felt that the young man in front of him had a straightforward temperament and spoke frankly.He didn't put on a show at all, he was only satisfied in his heart, so he said directly: "If you like it, you can come often, I will tell the servants later, come in when you come, there is no need to notify, just take care of this."

Gao Qili knew that Lin Qing's rich collection of books could only be compared with those of the royal family and those century-old families, so he hurriedly said: "Since you worship him as your teacher, and you say that you will be a teacher for a day and a father for life, just take him as your teacher." Father is, just treat this mansion as home and come whenever you want, but don't worry too much about it."

"Yes, the disciple respectfully obeys the teachings of the teacher and Mr. Gao."

The three of them then talked about some painting skills. Gao Qili is also a person who loves painting. Although his painting skills are not as good as Lin Qing's, he is still a good one. Therefore, the discussion between the three became more and more interesting until the meal After lunch, Gao Qili left with Wang Yue.

As for Princess Shuxian, she didn't show up. She only sent someone over at lunch time to say that something happened in the charity association and she won't be going home today.

Someone gave Wang Yue a very generous meeting gift, which made Wang Yue make another small fortune.

Leaving the Princess Mansion, Gao Qili also had something to do in the afternoon, so he bid farewell to Wang Yue, and Wang Yue took people to Rongguo Mansion.

But as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a servant running out in a panic, holding a blank piece of paper in his hand, looking vaguely like a notice.

Seeing him coming, the servant hurriedly stopped and bowed to him. Wang Yue smiled and asked, "Why are you so flustered? But is there something wrong in the house?"

The servant hurriedly explained: "Second Master Bao's jade was lost. The old lady was so anxious that she searched the mansion and the garden several times. The land was almost turned over, but she couldn't find it. That jade is the lifeblood of the second master Bao, once the jade is lost, the soul of the second master Bao is gone, there is really no way, the old lady said let's put up a notice outside to see if anyone finds it, and send it back , there must be a lot of thanks."

"Is the jade lost?" Wang Yue was very surprised. He remembered that this was not the time when Baoyu lost the jade. Could it be that he remembered it wrong, or did something change?

"How can a good jade be lost? I remember that the people around Uncle Bao always remember that piece of jade, how could it be lost?"

"Who knows?" The servant was also very puzzled: "Perhaps he didn't pay attention outside for a while and I don't know. If you want me to say that the servants around Second Master Bao should have been rectified, relying on Second Master Bao's power every day, They are sharp-tongued, sneaky and sneaky, and don't listen to anyone. This time we should take the opportunity to punish them."

After hearing this, Wang Yue just smiled and said: "Then you go first, I'll go to the mansion to ask."

"Yes, the little one will leave first."

As he spoke, he left with a few people behind him, and Wang Yue inquired about the situation from the servant who led the way for him, only then did he realize that Jia Baoyu's piece of jade had been lost for several days. Those people in the garden wanted to look for it secretly, but who knew that without the jade, the jade became more and more stupid every day, and they almost turned the Grand View Garden over, but the piece of jade was still not found, so in the end they couldn't hide it. It can only be reported to the old lady and wife.
