Jia Min's Counterattack

"This is a rare seedling who is good at studying! If he is trained well, he will definitely be able to make a difference in the future! Moreover, I think he is very flexible in his mind. He is not a dead-educated student. Maybe he can become a capable person in the court in the future." Minister!" Qin Yu still believed in Lin Ruhai's words, and his heart to accept Jia Lian as his apprentice became even more determined.

"Lian'er is indeed a talented person. He passed the Tongsheng examination last year in Qiuwei. He felt that he still had some shortcomings and did not continue to take the examination. It is really rare to be distracted! He is now studying by my side. , I plan to train and train him well, so that he can become my right-hand man in the future!" Lin Ruhai saw that his senior brother was already moved and wanted to take Jia Lian as his apprentice, so he added a fire , prompting Qin Yu to make a decision as soon as possible.

Qin Yu really wanted to observe more, but today he accidentally discovered that Jia Lian started to study hard when he got up early in the morning, which made him determined to accept Jia Lian as his apprentice, but he didn't want to be in such a hurry, he still Thinking of dragging someone to inquire about Jia Lian's news in the capital, he has always been very cautious in recruiting apprentices.Especially since he was old, Jia Lian might be his closed disciple, so he was even stricter.

Qin Yu originally wanted to accept Lin Lang as his closed disciple, but Lin Ruhai did not agree back then.He also heard that Lin Lang was chosen as an apprentice by an expert outside the world, and went to sea to practice.After he heard the news, he sighed again and again, such a good seedling was just let go!Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai brought Jia Lian before his eyes.

In terms of intelligence, Jia Lian may not be as good as Lin Lang, but Jia Lian is more calm than Lin Lang, not as arrogant and unruly as Lin Lang!Speaking of which, Jia Lian's personality is more suitable for an official career, and his background also predestined that he will be able to mix in the court like a fish in water in the future.

Qin Yu didn't want to let such a good apprentice go, Lin Lang had already missed him, and Jia Lian was bound to win this time!Qin Yu also noticed that Lin Ruhai was intentionally speaking good things for Jia Lian, and those words he said meant to stimulate him to accept disciples as soon as possible.Qin Yu is also an old fox who has been in the officialdom for many years, so how could he not guess what Lin Ruhai was thinking.But for the sake of Lin Ruhai sending him such a good apprentice, Qin Yu decided to ignore his own junior's plot against him!

"Brother, Ming people don't speak in secret! Brother, I have taken a fancy to Jia Lian and want to accept him as a closed disciple. What do you think?"

Lin Ruhai smiled slightly and said, "To tell you the truth, the reason I came here this time is to let Lian'er worship under my brother's sect!" Facing Qin Yu's direct question, Lin Ruhai no longer concealed it, and simply put his purpose here Come clean.

"Oh? Why didn't the younger brother accept him as an apprentice?" Qin Yu asked puzzled.

"Brother, have you ever heard that I took Liu Guanjie, the eldest grandson of the salt merchant Liu's family, as an apprentice?"

Qin Yu frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded, and then sighed: "Is the younger brother too cautious? In fact, you may not let some people feel at ease by accepting Liu's parents and grandchildren as apprentices!"

"I know it too! But it's better than making people think I'm ambitious. It's just to make outsiders think I'm a philistine, but those who really know our Lin family will not misunderstand that I am interested in their money. Accepted as an apprentice!"

Qin Yu was silent for a while, then picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, looked up at Lin Ruhai and said, "If you really feel tired, you can step back, senior brother will leave you a place here! If you are willing to come, I will take Xixi How about giving you the position of dean of the academy?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head with a smile and said: "I appreciate the brother's kindness! Xixi Academy is the brother's life-long painstaking effort, how can I replace it? Besides, I also have self-knowledge. In terms of learning, I am far behind the brother. My father once said that the brother You are the most knowledgeable among all his apprentices! Now you are committed to education, and all the students you teach are excellent, you are a well-deserved great Confucian! Xixi Academy would not be Xixi Academy without you! "

"Hey! We both have obsessions and scruples about each other, so I won't force you! But it's not exactly what you said! I'm just the founder of Xixi Academy. I'm already old, and I can still teach for a few years! In the future, Xixi Academy will be supported by a new generation of famous scholars, and I, the founder, will also become history!"

"I believe that with the spirit of the senior brother, Xixi Academy will get better and better!" Lin Ruhai glanced at Qin Yu, and also saw that he had aged a lot these years, and many age spots had appeared on his face, which made him I can't help feeling sad in my heart.

"Does Rongguo know your plan? Does he agree to let Jia Lian worship under me?" Qin Yu felt that the atmosphere was a little dull and immediately changed the subject.

"I wrote to my father-in-law to ask for his opinion, and my father-in-law readily agreed! He said that there is a brother teaching Lian'er, so he has no worries!"

"Well! As long as Lian'er's family members agree! After all, this is a major event related to the child's life, so it can't be sloppy! If so, I'll let someone prepare it later, and let's do the apprenticeship ceremony!"

"Uncle! It's time for us to have breakfast! Dean Qin! You're here too! Kid, greet Dean Qin!" At this time, Jia Lian walked in and asked Lin Ruhai to have dinner together.

"Okay! I've been here for a while, and I heard the sound of reading in your room!" Qin Yu said with a smile.

"Hehe! The boy is used to it. He wakes up at that hour every day. He can't fall asleep anyway, so he just gets up and reads. In the morning, his mind is very clear, and reading is more effective!"

"Yeah! That's great! Let's go, let's go to the flower hall for breakfast, you are still young, you can't starve to death!" Qin Yu got up and walked in front of Jia Lian, patted Jia Lian on the head lightly, Just strode out.

Jia Lian glanced at Lin Ruhai, saw Lin Ruhai nodded with a smile, and knew that Qin Yu had probably agreed to take him as his apprentice, so he smirked when he was happy.

Lin Ruhai tapped Jia Lian's head with his fingers and said, "Hurry up and catch up. After breakfast, we're going to pay homage to the teacher!"

Lin Ruhai stayed in Hangzhou for another day, watching Jia Lian pay his apprenticeship ceremony before leaving.Considering that Jia Lian was still young, Qin Yu let him live in the Qin family, and arranged for Jia Lin to live in a yard next to the outer study, and Qin Yu took him to the academy every day.Seeing that Qin Yu's arrangement for Jia Lian was very appropriate, Lin Ruhai felt relieved, and told Jia Lian to study at ease, to write more letters to his family to report his safety when he was free, and to write to him if he needed anything, and he would arrange for someone to come Help him solve it.
