When Shen Yi returned to Jiangdu, in addition to celebrating the New Year in his hometown, the most important thing was to formally become a disciple.
Master Lu has been of great help to him in the past two years. Shen Yi is willing to accept him as his teacher. Moreover, Master Lu is the headmaster of Ganquan Academy, which is also the nominal "head" of Ganquan Academy. He can accept such a teacher as his teacher. , Shen Yi's status among officials will suddenly rise a lot.
This was also the reason why Zhang Jian congratulated him.
Two days later, Jiangdu Prefecture's Luming Banquet was officially held at Ganquan Academy.
Originally, Mr. Lu only planned to set up two or three tables for this banquet at Ganquan Academy and invite internal staff of the academy to attend. However, Chen Fuzun personally went to the academy and finalized with Lu Anshi the matter of holding the Luming Banquet at Ganquan Academy. , and it means that all expenses can be paid from the government office and will be handled by the government office.
In order to save trouble and money, Lu Anshi agreed.
After all, what Chen Fuzun did was also good for Ganquan Academy. Although Ganquan Academy was previously the undisputed first academy in Jiangdu Prefecture, and even the most famous academy in several nearby prefectures, not all the newly promoted candidates in Jiangdu Prefecture were The students of Ganquan Academy held a deer-crowing banquet in the academy, which was regarded as a small favor given by Jiangdu Prefecture officials to Ganquan Academy.
Chen Fuzun also had his reasons for selling well to the academy.
Although he has decided to be a staunch Turtle sect in the future, when the radicals are powerful, he naturally cannot confront the radicals, but should try to ease the relationship with Ganquan Academy.
After Chen Fuzun, Zhang Jian also went to the academy and told Lu Anshi with a smile that the county government's Luming Banquet was also going to be held in the academy.
In Fuguo, Jiangdu County, the two deer-minging banquets could have been held together, but the county master and the government master could not urinate in the same pot. They originally planned to hold separate events. Now that Chen Fuzun has gone to Ganquan Academy, this Zhang Jian, a disciple of the academy, naturally cannot fall behind.
In the past two days, Shen Yi was also very busy.
In addition to dealing with those relatives, he also had to deal with fellow villagers from the same department, as well as some random people with unknown origins who came to visit him.
Fortunately, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of Ganquan Academy's Deer Ming Banquet.
Shen Yi took his father, Shen Zhang, and his younger brother, Shen Heng, to participate in the Luming Banquet.
I took my father there to help Master Lu, and I took my younger brother there... because Shen Heng was originally a student at the academy, so it was reasonable to go have a meal.
On the day of the Deer Ming Banquet, God was very kind to me. The weather was fine and the autumn air was crisp. People from the government office and county government were preparing for it in Ganquan Academy early in the morning, and it was very lively.
At this time, there were actually many students in the academy, including children and students. Since they were not qualified to attend the meeting, they could only watch on the sidelines.
Near noon, the Luming Banquet finally started, and Mr. Lu sat at the same table with his two parents and officials, as well as some important officials from Jiangdu Prefecture.
The threshold for this table is extremely high, basically starting from Jinshi. Therefore, Shen Yi and other newly promoted candidates cannot sit at this table. They can only sit at the same table with the newly promoted candidates in the same department.
The squires and sages from Jiangdu Prefecture also arranged a table.
Other miscellaneous people also had seats. There were seven or eight tables of guests at the entire Lu Ming Banquet, which was very lively.
After Mr. Lu and Chen Fuzun gave speeches one after another, the Luming Banquet officially started.
Chen Fuzun and Mr. Lu were sitting together. The parent official of Jiangdu looked at Lu Anshi and said with a smile: "This year in the provincial examination, there are 19 people in our Jiangdu Prefecture. Eleven of them are from the academy. The academy educates Jiangdu Prefecture." , His contribution is so great that even Chen, the prefect, has also benefited from the glory of the academy."
Local officials have the responsibility of "educating", and local students' good test scores are also a kind of political achievement for local officials, so Chen Yu would say that he has benefited.
Mr. Lu shook his head slightly and said: "Most of the students in the academy are from Jiangdu. They all studied in Jiangdu. They are well educated by the government. Otherwise, our academy is also a skilled woman who cannot make a living without rice."
In Vanity Fair, the most important thing is to give each other seeds.
Chen Yu complimented the academy, and the academy naturally praised him in return.
The elders at the "Jinshi table" were changing cups and enjoying their meal. Master Lu picked up his wine glass, glanced at everyone at the table, and said with a smile: "There is a student in my academy, whose surname is Shen Mingyi. When he was in the academy, he was a keen and studious student. He passed the national examination this year and ranked seventh in the Jiankang Provincial Examination. After he returned to his hometown, he came to see me and wanted to become my teacher. Today, I happened to take advantage of the Luming Banquet to invite everyone. Please bear witness."
In fact, the master-disciple status of the two people has been decided for a long time.
But at the moment, Lu Anshi couldn't tell these people that Shen Yi became his disciple last year, otherwise others would think he was hypocritical. He might as well just simply say that he wanted to accept Shen Yi as his disciple.
Anyway, with Mr. Lu's "status in the world", it would be enough to accept a new scholar as his disciple, not to mention a newly promoted scholar.
As soon as Lu Anshi said these words, a smile appeared on the face of Chen Fuzun beside him. The master stood up directly and waved to Shen Yi at the next table: "Shen Yi, Shen Yi, come here."
Shen Yi was already prepared. After hearing Chen Yu's voice, he said "Excuse me" to his fellow examiners at the same table. Then he came to the next table in front of Master Chen, lowered his hand and said, "Master, call me?"
"The Female CEO's Almighty Soldier"
Chen Yu smiled and shook his head: "I didn't call you, it was your teacher who called you."
Master Lu sat at the head of the table with a calm expression.
"You said yesterday that you wanted to become a disciple, and you agreed. Today, in front of the princes of Jiangdu Prefecture, you will become a disciple here. These elders can also bear witness to you."
Shen Yi nodded quickly and bowed: "Yes, teacher."
As he spoke, he took a deep breath and was about to kneel down, but Magistrate Zhang Jian stretched out his hand to stop him and said with a smile: "Don't be so impatient. After you have eaten, you can kowtow in the main hall of the academy and kowtow at the dining table." Apprenticeship is a bit too casual.”
Shen Yi looked at Lu Anshi, who nodded slightly with a calm expression: "What Yi An said is that you go back to eat first, and after the meal we will go to the main hall to salute."
After saying this, Master Lu looked at the "jinshi" at the same table and said with a smile: "Young masters, don't leave until then, stay here to be a witness to Lu and my disciples."
Among the people at the table, Mr. Lu had the highest position in the world of scholars, or in the "academic world." When he spoke, the others nodded and responded with a smile.
"sure."
Ever since, after the Luming Banquet, these Jinshi gentlemen did not leave, but gathered in the main hall of the academy to entertain guests.
In the main hall, Mr. Lu was sitting upright.
Shen Zhang has also handed over to the Shen family's Shu Xiu.
Chen Yu, Chen Fuzun, stood aside and acted as the temporary "master of ceremonies." The Fuzun put his hands in the sleeves in front of him with a smile on his face: "Master Shen, please offer tea and kowtow."
Shen Yi nodded, held a cup of hot tea over his head with both hands, knelt in front of Lu Anshi, and handed the bowl of tea to Master Lu.
"Teacher, drink tea."
Lu Anshi looked at Shen Yi in front of him, smiled and said, "Okay."
He reached out and took the bowl of tea.
Shen Yi knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times respectfully.
After three kowtows, the master-disciple ceremony is completed.
After Lu Anshi took a sip of tea, he stood up from the chair and reached out to help Shen Yi up.
He had a smile on his face.
"From now on, we will be serious masters and disciples."
Shen Yi bowed and spoke respectfully.
"Please give me the words from my mentor..."
