The future Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty came to your house and said to you, "Xiao Cui, I still need a disciple. Come and follow me."
At this time, is it a promise, or a promise, or a promise
For the sake of the motherland, for the people, and for the sake of future generations of historians to eat more rice, Cui Xie resolutely stepped forward and took over the burden!
He bowed his hands to Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing, and said with shame on his face: "I never thought that adults had such expectations for students before, and it was the students' fault that they never dared to go to the door. Since the adults are so loving, the students will visit the door tomorrow and return Please don't give up."
Yang Yiqing joked by the side: "Senior brother, there is no shortage of students anyway. I have nothing to do in the pavilion. It's not bad to bring a disciple in my spare time, but it's better than drinking everywhere like this."
Li Dongyang snorted and squinted at his junior brother: "You are in the palace on weekdays, how can you come out to teach him? It's better to follow me, the Hanyuan has been scattered early, and now there is no record to be repaired, I have some spare time to train the disciples. ."
After speaking, he poured another bell of wine, looking at the blue-and-white porcelain wine jug of the Cui family, quite a bit thinking of asking Cui Xie to exchange the six rituals for good wine.
Cui Xie's eyesight was good, so he immediately went over to refill him with wine. Seeing that there was not much wine in Yang Yiqing's glass, he added a full bell, and he raised his glass and toasted them a few times. He turned around and instructed people to take new pepper noodles and dried bamboo shoots, and make a few bowls of hot and sour soup for everyone to sober up.
If you can worship a teacher like Li Dongyang, let alone pepper, if they have bird's nest at home, they would dare to put bird's nest in this soup!
After a while, the kitchen brought soup, and the two adults drank the spicy and slightly sour soup. After eating it, they sweated profusely. They felt slightly less drunk and could eat for more than ten hours.
Cui Xie was afraid that they would drink too much and hurt his liver, so he asked someone to find the wine that Xie Ying first sent. That wine has only been distilled once, and it has been stored for a year or two, and the taste is also mellow and soft, and it is better for the liver and kidneys of these two adults.
Li Dongyang took a sip and said, "Dan", but Yang Yiqing didn't want to be Cui Xie's teacher, so he was more conscious of drinking wine than he was, and stretched his neck to persuade him: "This wine is already rare, and the wine from Xie Qianhu's family can still be compared with him. How much is the same amount of rice wine sold in the market? They even gave us pepper soup, and there are chickens and goose in the dishes, but it’s just that, what do you want to eat?”
Xie Ying smiled: "This is all self-brewed wine, and it can't be called precious. It's just that Cui Jiansheng is young and can't eat wine. I didn't want to give him more at the beginning. I knew he had such a teacher who came to the house to eat wine. , I sent more last year."
Taking advantage of the situation, Cui Xie raised his glass and persuaded: "Brother Xie didn't say it, I forgot. I have never invited you to my house, and I haven't thanked Brother Xie for the wine, so I will do it first, and Brother Xie, please feel free."
Holding the porcelain cup in both hands, he knocked on Xie Ying's cup lowly, two full cups of wine spilled out slightly, and fell onto the table along the edge of the cup, melting into a small pool.
Xie Ying drank the wine happily, turned to the bottom of the cup, and smiled: "I haven't congratulated Cui Jiansheng for being a good teacher, you sit down, this time it's my turn to respect you."
Cui Xie still poured wine for him, and the two clinked glasses and drank from each other. Although the two were extremely restrained in their movements, every look and every clinking of glasses contained a surging undercurrent, which made people feel drunk and Tao Ran without waiting for a drink.
The two bosses were drinking and drinking. Li Dongyang wanted to write a poem when he was drunk, and asked for a pen and paper. Yang Yiqing was busy with him, but he didn't notice that the atmosphere between the two people next to him was too ambiguous.
But calling them to interrupt, all the atmosphere was dissipated.
Cui Xie asked someone to bring a pen and ink, researched a pool of ink, and let him write poems all over the wall. Yang Yiqing couldn't hold him back. Seeing that Cui Xie had the attitude of "willing to be a running dog under Dongyangmen", he didn't even want the house, so he shook his head and said, "This is really a poetic idiot meeting a poetic fan. It's not used by your elders, so if they see the ink on the wall, don't they think it stains the wall?"
Cui Xie smiled shyly: "My lord, don't worry, there is paper on the wall. Li Xueshi is enjoying himself today, so I will ask someone to shovel down the paper and put it in my room."
After it was framed, I also asked my siblings and the two gentlemen to see the handwriting of the master of the literary world. It's a pity that Lu Juren went back to his hometown to visit relatives and help the poor last month. Otherwise, he would be very happy to see literary masters and famous prodigies like Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing in person.
Li Dongyang wrote two bamboo branch poems on the wall, drank half a pot of wine, and finally collapsed on the chair because he was too drunk. Yang Yiqing was not much stronger than his drinker, but because he drank in moderation and was young, he was able to sit up straight, said goodbye to Cui Xie, and wanted to take this senior brother back.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be able to support Li Dongyang, Cui Xie asked someone to bring the car and Xie Ying's horse to the main courtyard, and then went to the back room to borrow his grandfather's wheelchair to send them off.
Xie Ying grabbed him from behind, squeezed his hand and said, "Why do you need to be so troublesome, it's just at your house, just a few steps away, I'll just take Li Xueshi out."
As he said that, he walked over, put Li Dongyang's arm on his shoulder, easily half-supported and half-lifted the person to the court, raised his hand and threw it into the car. Cui Xie also helped Yang Yiqing to get into the car, settled the two, and told the driver to buy some hangover medicine for them to take home when they passed by the pharmacy.
Xie Ying got on his horse, urged the horse to stand beside him, flicked the back of his head lightly, and comforted in a low voice, "I will personally send the two adults back, so there will be no accident."
Yang Yiqing also got up from the car at this time, pulled up the curtain and said to him, "Don't bother people, we are all people who drink a lot, and we have our own measures, so as not to be poisoned by alcohol." That's what he said, He also had an ironic look on his face, and even had a bit of interest in accepting his disciples.
His senior brother still has children and is willing to accept apprentices, but he is alone, and he should have a disciple by his side. Even if he is not as considerate as Cui Xie, as long as he is a young, educated and motivated child...
Cui Xie personally carried the lantern from the courtyard to the outside of the courtyard. Seeing that the horse and the carriage disappeared at the entrance of the alley, he turned back and watched his family pack their things.
When he went to school the next day, everyone who had been to his house last night came to offer condolences, saying that he had spent the night with Li Dongyang, and he must have asked many questions and suffered a lot. Those who weren't there last night didn't know the depths, and they were quite envious of him. They asked him how he felt to be guided by talents like Li Xueshi and Yang Sheren alone.
When they met Xie, Liu, and Wang, the assistants who taught their daily classes, they asked him, "I heard that Li Xueshi and Yang Sheren came to your house yesterday? What did I tell you? Both of them are known for their talents. , the poems and articles are excellent, if you can get one or two of them, you will not be able to benefit from them, so don’t waste this opportunity.”
Cui Xie said in a low-key manner: "Students understand. Li Xueshi has already allowed the students to study at home, and the students will devote themselves to learning and live up to the teachings of the gentlemen."
Assistant Professor Xie said: "If you can get a bachelor's teaching, it's better than following me. If you want to ask for leave in the future, just say it, don't care about my face - don't talk about you, I want to study with Li Xueshi and learn to write poetry."
Assistant Professor Liu said with a smile: "Brother Xie, don't think about this, you see that our Cui Jiansheng is a prodigy, and Li Xueshi and Yang Sheren are also prodigies, so they naturally sympathize with each other. You and I have average talents. How can a person who has been awarded a jinshi get into the eyes of Hanlin?"
He really has that qualification, and he was admitted to the Hanlin Academy from the beginning.
A few people laughed at themselves, patted Cui Xie on the shoulder and said, "Xie Xueshi is one of the people who asked the prince. If you have a chance, you can ask him to give you more questions. After you have practiced it, you can take the test. When the answer is good, the more it falls in the eyes of Wan Sui and the Crown Prince."
Yes, there are exams too. He was the first to come up with this exam question. Cui Xie almost had tears in his eyes, and nodded deeply: "Thank you, instructor, for your suggestion, I will look for an opportunity to ask Master Li about this when I turn around."
After school in the evening, he asked someone to prepare a post, filled with two jars of soju, four-color snacks, and the Qingguoqing offering note printed by himself, and visited Li Dongyang Gate.
The concierge of Li's house recalled his family's post. He didn't tell him to come in directly. He already asked the master to say a few words. This time, he didn't even need to read the post. He just saw his face and said, "Cui Jiansheng is here. ? The master has already instructed, please go inside."
The Li family, like the Liu family, was born in the military, belonged to Jinwu Zuowei, and lived in the capital. However, Li Dongyang's father did not join the army, but made a career of teaching and had a stern personality. At this time, Big Brother Li was still working in the Qingshui Yamen Hanlin Courtyard. He only got a little salary a year, and there were not many Bingjing and Tanjing, and his family was not rich.
When Cui Xie arrived at his house, he could see that everything in this house was outdated, but it was kept clean and the servants behaved strictly - much better than theirs.
Li Dongyang was staring at his two sons reading at home at this time, and when he heard that Cui Xie was coming, he put down the four books in his hand, told the children to recite them by themselves, walked to the edge of the study with his hands behind his back, and said, "Tell him to sit in the hall. , I'll go after I've been busy here."
Chang Sui asked: "Cui Jiansheng sent a jar of wine and a few snacks as a gift, but the adults accept it, or should I ask him to take it back?"
His eldest son Zhaoxian asked, "Is this supervisor also a talented student of poetry and wine? How can he be a supervisor?"
Li Dongyang looked at the cunning brilliance in his eyes, and he felt more and more cute. He smiled and said, "This year is a prison student, and next year will not be a prison student. He is a junior prisoner who has been admitted to the National Children's Prison. If you also take the case leader and come back, I am satisfied with your father."
He told his two sons to study, and went to see Cui Xie, took the gift list he handed over, and asked a little dissatisfiedly, "Why did you bring these gifts? Is this something serious!"
What about six ceremonies? What about beam repair? If you don't bring jerky, you can bring fresh meat. Bringing these useless things can sacrifice the old master or give him this teacher
Cui Xie smiled slightly: "The bachelor has the intention to teach the students, since it is the luck of the students, how dare you refuse? It's just that it's getting late today, if you come with Liu Li in a hurry, you will have to pay a teacher as soon as you come to the door, and the etiquette is too simple. Students. Come today to thank the scholar for the crime of waiting in vain before, and then the Chinese Academy will be closed for a while, and the students will come here with a big gift, so that it will be a serious apprenticeship."
Li Dongyang smiled and said: "You are very particular at a young age. Who taught you this old-fashioned temper? You don't ask me what I want to teach you, so you just apprentice?"
Cui Xie said: "Sir is a scholar of heaven and man, but talking about a "Four Books" can also make a difference that no one has before. I can read from Mr., no matter what I learn, I am satisfied. If Mr. Lu wants to teach me to write poetry, please allow me to write a letter to tell Mr. Lu first, and make him happy for me."
The Xixi curator hired by the family is not a serious master, so I don't delay studying with him. But Cui Xie can respect even an invited curator, and when he will come to his door, he doesn't have to worry about his disobedience and filial piety.
Li Dongyang just thought he was already his own disciple, looked at him with a smile and said, "Go ahead and write. Although my intention is to teach you some sutras, techniques, and principles, if my disciple of someone Li doesn't know how to write poetry, I'm afraid it will also make the world laugh at it."
He gave Cui Xie several collections of poems he had written, and took a few sets of papers, and he urged: "These were originally intended for the crown prince, but the title is a bit biased and difficult, and Li Xueshi was not allowed to pass it, so I had to take it. I'm back. You'll do it yourself, and bring it to me when you come to visit your teacher."
Cui Xie came with a box of gifts, and returned with a box of books and scrolls, but the weight was much heavier than the thin gift bought with silver.
He went back and seriously did the questions, read the poems, and earnestly asked people to prepare the next six rituals to prepare for the apprenticeship. Since he couldn't go to Xie's house to meet again in the middle of this month, he wrote a text message to Xie Ying when he came back, telling Cui Qi to send a letter to Xie's house.
It wasn't until two days later that he waited for a letter from Xie's residence. The letter was written in various letters, but he apologized in turn, saying that he had taken up official duties these days, and it would be quite troublesome to actually investigate it. I am afraid it will take a while. Can't make an appointment.
Cui Xie immediately thought of what he said at the birthday banquet, that he wanted to eliminate the evil young masters in the capital, and felt a little worried in his heart.
Big Brother Li also remembered this, patted his leg and said, "Xie Qianhu is a believer, and he filed a report the day before yesterday, saying, 'The days of wicked people in and out of the capital are prosperous in the sun and the moon is prosperous, and the day is when they commit murder in the streets. The night is debauchery and gambling, and there are many robbers and thieves here. I would like to ask the Jinyiwei of this office to investigate this matter. Long live the hearing, and the decree compares this group of people with Guo Jie of the Han Dynasty. The parents are not worried, and have ordered him to lead this errand and investigate the inside and outside of the capital!"
Xie Qianhu really has the ability, saying that he will wash Jinyiwei into the city management of my great dynasty!
He seized the opportunity and firstly blew in the ear of the future chief assistant and teacher: "I think Xie Qianhu is different from others, Jin Yiwei is the valet of the emperor, if there are people like Xie Qianhu who are eager for justice and justice A benevolent person will be able to restrain the upper and lower levels, and avoid the chaos of the old East-West Factory..."
That's right, Jin Yiwei is just the emperor's valet, and it depends on who the commander is.
Li Future Ge shook his head and sighed: "Your teacher, I'm just a literary minister, I can't control such a big thing, I hope Xie Qianhu can keep this heart for a long time, and have a day to restrain Jin Yiwei."
The author has something to say: The last paragraph is from the record of Emperor Xianzong, played by Jin Xi of the Jinyi Guards
