The light was dim, and the wick was beating. Xue Poye looked at Lao Tan, and saw that his figure was a little stooped, he was a little tired, his expression was serious, he was very old, but he was still so hard.
The light cast his back on the wall, and his figure was distorted, quite strange.
Looking around, he saw a chessboard on a case in the east, and two jade cups filled with chess pieces. He thought to himself, "So he still likes to play Go?"
When Xue Poye finished eating the bunch of grapes in his hand, Lao Tan was still writing hard.
Standing up and stretching, the room was too stuffy, and just about to go out for a walk, Lao Tan let out a long breath, put down his brush, looked up at himself, and said with a smile: "Po Ye, you're here ?”
Xue Poye sat down again, and said directly: "Old Tan, it's so late, what's the matter with you bringing me here? No one wants to hold a banquet, right?"
Old Tan got up and stretched his muscles, and laughed and scolded: "You bastard, you talk to the teacher like this, no big or small!"
Xue Poye laughed and said, "You are a fake teacher, and I am a fake student. I don't understand astronomy or geography, and I don't even know anything about your "Four Books" and "Five Classics". How can I be your student."
Old Tan wondered: "Our "Four Books" and "Five Classics"?"
Xue Poye knew that he had slipped his tongue, and said: "I mean your literati's Four Books and Five Classics!"
Lao Tan nodded, walked over, sat down in the front seat, stroked his beard and said, "You did a good job at this banquet. I heard that an old scholar made trouble and almost made Qian Ziyan unsigned. It's because of your eloquent tongue." Ruhuang defeated him and passed the level smoothly, this old man would like to thank you!"
"I'm doing it for the sake of my younger sister, Miss Xiao, not for you, don't get me wrong!" Xue Poye said leisurely while chewing on grapes, not giving Lao Tan any face.
Old Tan Fuxu said: "You bastard, you are the only one who speaks like this in front of me." After a pause, he said with a smile: "Your sister and brother call you affectionate, don't forget that only you can be my student." She has the right to call her Shimei!"
Xue Poye said indifferently: "Old Tan, what you said is not good. I have formed a deep friendship with Miss Xiao now. I don't need to call her Shimei Shixiong. The friendship between me and her will also develop in a healthy and benign way. .”
Old Tan laughed and said: "You little bastard, do you think you can win Miss Xiao's heart with just two poems!" He whispered softly: "When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine. I don't know the palace in the sky. What year is it?" , I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid that Qionglou Yuyu will be too cold on the heights...!"
Xue Poye broke into a cold sweat, my dear boy, this old boy is really powerful, this "Water Tune Getou" has really come to him, there is no doubt that it was Zhang Hu who told him, Zhang Hu, a warrior, can actually Write down this poem, and it can be regarded as a person with a super memory.
After reciting the word, Lao Tan actually exclaimed: "This word is excellent, is it really you who wrote it?"
Xue Poye's heart fluttered. Needless to say, this old boy's literary talent is not a problem, so he won't be able to see anything, right? However, Lao Su is a fictitious character in this Great Chu Dynasty and does not exist at all, so his ci works naturally do not exist either. He stiffened his neck and said calmly: "Have you heard of it? This ci is the work of my painstaking efforts. You ask , is insulting me!"
Old Tan nodded, "I have had countless poems, but I have never heard such a good one. If it is really written by you, you have some wisdom. These two good poems may not be able to be written by even the number one scholar."
Xue Poye ate the grapes and said, "Old Tan can't underestimate people. Poems are right by feeling, not by reading more or less."
Lao Tan nodded and agreed deeply: "Your words are very reasonable. Some people have been studying for a lifetime, but they haven't been able to write a few good sentences." Fu Xu sighed: "How many people study only to become officials? It's just an official, never thought of making a good sentence." Picking up the teacup next to it, stroked the tea noodles with the lid, and then took a sip.
After a moment of silence, Xue Poye asked: "You came here to thank me, didn't you?"
Old Tan smiled, put down his teacup, stroked his beard and said, "These days I called you a student, and you called me a teacher, it's just a false name. Today, the old man invited you here to fulfill this name."
"Family taboo?" Xue Poye frowned, "What do you mean?"
Old Tan put away his smile, and said seriously: "The old man wants to accept you as a student, are you willing?"
Xue Poye was startled, this was a bit abrupt, why did the old boy think so, and asked with some doubts: "You... you want to accept me as a student?"
Old Tan nodded, "That's right, I want to formally accept you as a disciple."
Xue Poye calmed down for a while, and said strangely: "Old... Mr. Tan, you are a dignified Zuodu Yushi, I am a humble businessman, why do you treat me like this? I am not arrogant enough to think that it is my handsomeness that attracts you. "
Old Tan smiled and said: "Isn't it good to have one more backer? With me behind you as the backstage, wouldn't your road be smoother?" Sighing, he said softly: "I'm old, and I always have to leave something behind after I die. thing."
Xue Poye didn't know why he made this exclamation, but what he said earlier was good. With a high-ranking official like Zuodu Yushi as a teacher, the future is naturally limitless, but this old boy is not setting himself some kind of trap, right
Seeing Xue Poye's hesitant face, Old Tan shouted: "Stinky boy, how many people want to beg me and become my disciple, but the old man still doesn't like it. Now that the old man intends to accept you, are you still not willing?"
Xue Poye stopped being hypocritical, and said with a smile: "It's good to have you as a high-ranking official as a teacher, but you have to promise me three conditions!"
Old Tan blew his beard and stared: "You have to ask me to be a teacher, but you have to ask for conditions. You are so brave."
"If you don't agree, I'll go back and do my business. The officialdom is so difficult and dangerous, maybe one day I'll be stunned!" Xue Poye said brazenly: "I'll be tied to a rope with you if I worship you as my teacher, what a disaster!" Unexpected luck!"
Old Tan took a deep breath, shook his head and said: "It's because I have a good impression of you, you are smart and clever, that's why I want to accept you as an apprentice. I didn't expect that you don't know good and bad, I'm so angry!" He raised his hand He said: "Let's just tell you about your three conditions. If one of them is unreasonable, the old man really stopped thinking about accepting you as a disciple."
Xue Poye smiled treacherously, and said: "First, after I become your disciple, you can't always order me to do this and that, serving tea and pouring water, I can't stand it."
Old Tan Fuxu smiled and said: "There are many people who want to serve tea and water for the old man, but you really don't need you if you want to serve tea and water."
"That's good!" Xue Poye said with a chuckle: "Second, in public, it's okay for me to call you teacher, but I can't call you that in private. I call you Lao Tan, it's so kind!"
It must be known that in ancient times, teachers were respected, etiquette was very strict, and there was a difference between honor and inferiority. Xue Poye's two conditions were really a bit outrageous, Lao Tan was blowing his beard, but he was not rigid like those scholars, waved his hand and said: "Yes! "
Xue Poye laughed and said: "These two promises are fine!" Stretched out three fingers and said: "Third, I will be your student in the future, you should encourage me, help me, and think of me when you have good things. Don't push me into the fire pit!"
Old Tan laughed and said: "You little bastard, you are really cunning." Seriously said: "Since you have entered my door, naturally you will not treat you badly."
Xue Poye got up and took two steps forward, knelt down on both knees, solemnly kowtowed three times, and respectfully said: "Teacher is here, let the students bow down!" He kowtowed three more times.
Old Tan smiled and couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, stepped forward to help him up, and said with emotion: "Don't be polite, don't be polite, you must work hard in the future, don't insult my reputation."
Xue Poye said respectfully: "Yes!" Suddenly worshiping a high-ranking official as a teacher, in the future there will be an extra big backer, no matter what hidden secrets lie behind, it will be a pleasant thing after all.
I came here through time travel, and I have this great opportunity, so I naturally have to seize it tightly and write a heavy stroke for my second life.
