After the third prince sat down, he asked with a smile: "What was Mr. Xu talking about when he was so happy just now?"
Mr. Xu said calmly: "I didn't say anything. Just talk."
Originally, Bachelor Han, Mr. Lin, and Mr. Xu were talking about their apprentices. Mr. Xu was bragging about how great his apprentices were in calligraphy and painting under his guidance. Even a group of his disciples who had no talent, and some who had just reached their age. The little disciples who are one year old all have a strong interest in calligraphy and painting.
Now that the third prince is here, he has no interest in talking anymore.
Mr. Xu is a member of the Queen Mother's natal family. The third prince was not happy at first and did not ask further questions. He asked the scholar Han: "How is Mr. Han's health recently?"
Academician Han is old and his hair has turned completely white. He has not gone out to attend banquets for several years. He does not even attend palace banquets often. The third prince does not understand why he came to attend the wedding banquet of Duke An Guo's eldest son today.
Could it be that the seventeenth emperor's uncle invited it
Scholar Han was a great Confucian of the time and had a very high status in various countries. Some of his poems and articles were used as teaching materials in academies in various countries.
Although his hair was gray, he seemed to be in good spirits. He looked elegant and kind, and after listening to the third prince's words, he smiled and said, "Honghao and Tingzhi dragged me here."
There are several reasons why Academician Han came to Wen Chun's wedding banquet this time.
First, he wanted to see Xu Tingzhi's apprentice.
It just so happened that the three sons of An Guogong were Hong Hao's apprentices. Hong Hao praised these three apprentices a lot in his letters, and his words were full of admiration. He was really curious!
Moreover, Nalan Jinnian has always sent people to deliver some health vegetables to him regularly. After eating health vegetables for several years, he feels that his body is much stronger than in previous years. He also knows that these health vegetables are grown by Princess Hui'an. They also sent him a message, and he wanted to thank them in person, so he came.
After hearing this, the third prince said hello to Mr. Lin and Mr. Xu: "How are Mr. Lin and Mr. Xu doing recently?"
Mr. Lin smiled and replied: "Thanks to the third prince, I am doing well!"
Mr. Xu: "Thanks to your Majesty, the Queen Mother and King Jin, I am very kind!"
The apprentice is so outstanding that the works given to him every month are beyond his imagination. The apprentice is obedient and cute. When he sees him painting, he runs over and quietly lies on the table to watch. He is now I have already started teaching my little apprentice how to paint!
We must train a painter who is better than his apprentice!
After eating well and sleeping well every day in Ningyuan County, Mr. Xu feels that his life is complete!
The third prince: "..."
Both Mr. Xu and Mr. Lin knew how to say "Thank you for your own blessings". Did he say this deliberately to cause trouble for himself
The third prince ignored him and said to Mr. Lin: "I heard that the three young masters of Duke Anguo are all students of Mr. Lin? Mr. Lin is worthy of being a great scholar in the world, and has cultivated one pillar after another for Nalan Kingdom. Talent!"
Mr. Lin waved his hand modestly: "I am just a teacher who teaches and educates people. I cannot be regarded as training the pillars of the country. The three brothers are still very knowledgeable, but they are still far from being the pillars of the country."
After seeing the knowledge and knowledge of a woman from the first generation of Princess Hui'an, Mr. Lin felt ashamed!
His three apprentices are really incomparable.
"Sir, you are being humble. Wen Chun and Wen Hou were one of the number one scholar, and the other was a third-ranked scholar. They were officials in the court. They made many achievements in just one year, and their father praised them highly. There are also several students who have been taught by Mr. Wang. There are countless Jinshi, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they support half of the sky of Nalan Kingdom! All of your students are the pillars of the country!"
"No, they are really not the pillars of the country. They are too far behind. All these people combined are not as good as Mr. Xu's apprentice! Mr. Xu's apprentice is the well-deserved pillar of the country!"
It's a pity that Princess Hui'an is a woman. Women don't study in academies or take imperial examinations. Otherwise, Princess Hui'an would also be his student!
Listening to Mr. Xu bragging every day, Mr. Lin was as bitter as a lemon tree!
When Mr. Xu heard this, he felt a sense of pride in his heart. He just had to be humble as a person. Even if it was false humility, he had to be humble, right
He waved his hand: "Mr. Lin is exaggerating! Exaggerating! She can only draw so well! Your disciples are not bad either, let them learn more from my disciples, they will be the pillars of the country soon! Also! Don't praise her like that, I'm worried that she will be proud! You have to be more humble!"
The corner of Mr. Lin's mouth twitched. Princess Hui'an was so humble and respected her teachers and friends.
He thinks he is proud of the fact that he is a master who is not as skilled as his apprentice!
"Don't worry, she won't."
Mr. Xu nodded proudly: "That's right!"
Mr. Lin: "..."
The third prince was surprised when he heard this, Mr. Xu's apprentice? Is it so powerful
Mr. Lin doesn't usually praise people very much. He has only praised one person, the Seventeenth Emperor's Uncle.
Who is Mr. Xu’s apprentice? How could Mr. Lin be so full of praise
Who is the powerful person here in Chaozhong and the person who is good at painting
The third prince couldn't think of who it was for a moment.
"Mr. Xu, have you accepted a disciple? Who is your disciple?"
Mr. Xu: "Take it."
Then he stopped talking.
Does anyone of his disciples deserve to know who he is
The third prince was even more unhappy, but he also knew that Mr. Xu was extremely arrogant because he was a member of the Queen Mother's family, and ignored him. He knew that asking questions would be in vain, so he did not ask again.
What's so great!
In the future, after he ascends the throne, and finds out who is Mr. Xu's apprentice in the court, he will be the first to find an excuse to deal with him!
The third prince thought that there were two children among his staff who were also very knowledgeable. If they could introduce their children to Lin Honghao, they would naturally be more grateful to him and become more loyal to him and make suggestions for him in the future.
Moreover, their sons will be able to help them when they become talented in the future.
Lin Honghao's students are all over the world, and there are many capable people among them. Many of them hold important official positions in various places. This is a lot of power. Those two people have become Lin Honghao's students, which means they have integrated. In that circle, I will be more helpful in the future.
Today, it was rare that Lin Honghao, who had been staying in Ningyuan County, came back and sat at the same table. Naturally, the third prince would not miss such a good opportunity, so he asked: "Mr. Lin, I know two students who are good at learning and doing things." Very good. I would like to ask Mr. Lin to give them some pointers on their knowledge. I wonder if Mr. Lin is willing to accept two more students?"
Mr. Lin touched his beard and said with a smile: "The third prince is indeed a person who loves and cherishes talents. Unfortunately, I am old and have insufficient energy. I have already said that I will no longer accept apprentices. The youngest one I am teaching now Sometimes the young apprentice feels that he is unable to do what he wants. Besides, there is a college to manage. I sometimes have to give classes to the students in the college. Our college recruits new students every year, and the gentlemen in the college are also very knowledgeable. Students that the Third Prince knows can go to the academy to register for the entrance exam. If they can enter the academy to study, I will always have the opportunity to give them some advice."
