Ning Lang said: "I'm afraid you still don't know that Mr. Jiang is a great talent, and even great scholars value him."
Liu Qingrou showed an innocent expression, looked at Jiang Han and said in surprise: "Ah! A great talent, but you want to participate in next year's Spring Festival?"
Yan Su next to her glanced at her: "Have you forgotten? My husband-in-law is of low status and cannot take part in the imperial examination. Moreover, he is not even a child."
Liu Qingrou said "Ah": "How can someone who is valued even by great Confucian scholars not even be a Tong Sheng?"
Ning Lang smiled slightly, waved the folding fan in his hand calmly, and said, "Don't underestimate Jiang Han. He has his own merits. Otherwise, how could he fall in love with me, my cousin Mu Qing?"
"Young Master Ning Lang is right, but don't belittle yourself, Young Master. You are a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. You are extremely talented. How many people in Kyoto can match you? Sooner or later, you will become a disciple of a great Confucian scholar."
"There is indeed a great Confucian in the Hanlin Academy who wants to accept me as his disciple, but I would rather become a disciple of that great Confucian from the Imperial College. After the Dragon Boat Festival, I might become a disciple of a certain great Confucian." Ning Langfengqing Yun Dan said calmly.
Liu Qingrou was so surprised that her beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance. The scholar's status was extremely noble. It would be great if he could accept one of them as his teacher. Unexpectedly, the scholar in the Hanlin Academy wanted to accept Ning Lang as his disciple, but Ning Lang also wanted to accept another person as his teacher.
When Qin Qingyan heard this, she felt something was wrong. She gently pulled Jiang Han's sleeve and said softly: "Brother-in-law, should we leave?"
"It's okay, just sit down for a while." Jiang Han said calmly. Of course, he knew that Ning Lang was showing off, but he was Qin Muqing's cousin after all, so it seemed petty to leave him now.
Qin Muqing also frowned slightly, feeling that these people's words seemed to be aimed at Jiang Han, but he didn't know how to refute them.
At the same time, in Qingqiu Hall.
Hong Yuan burst into the hall excitedly and said: "Brother and senior sisters, there is good news!"
Because he accidentally spoke up and leaked the teacher's secret, he was locked up by Gu Qingqiu to practice swordsmanship. It was not until a few days ago that Gu Qingqiu calmed down and released him.
In the hall, Wan Hua was sitting in front of the case and reading the files. When he saw his unlucky junior brother, he lazily stretched out his hand to cover Tao Ying's little mouth and yawned: "Hong Yuan, what's the good news?"
A noble young man on Wanhua's left said: "Good news that he has finally been released?"
There are seven incense owners in Qingqiu Hall, but some of them need to go to various states to handle affairs. Now, including Hong Yuan, there are only four incense owners in Qingqiu Hall.
The noble lady Wan Hua, the noble young man Li Zhongqiu, and the oldest and most senior Yu Hong.
Hong Yuan said: "Of course not! Jiang Han is coming to Kyoto!"
As soon as these words came out, Wan Hua and Li Zhongqiu raised their heads.
Wanhua's wonderful eyes were filled with curiosity, shining with light.
Although I have never met this Jiang Han, I have read his poems, articles, and novels countless times!
Wanhua even analyzed Jiang Han's character based on his poems and novels: talented, but reserved, unwilling to bow to the powerful, and with a chivalrous heart.
But after all, I have never seen this person with my own eyes.
"Has this person arrived in Kyoto?" It was Li Zhongqiu, the aristocratic young man, who spoke first. He frowned slightly and said, "Go and invite him to Qingqiu Hall!"
Hong Yuan said: "Senior Brother Li, Senior Sister Wanhua, instead of inviting him, I have an idea."
Wanhua knew that Junior Brother Hong had the most ideas, so he asked, "What ideas do you have?"
Hong Yuan said: "Senior sister also knows that because the teacher did not accept Jiang Han as his disciple, we lost such a good junior brother. If we invite him here, it seems to be a sign of success. It is better for us to pay him a visit. To show my sincerity, I will accept a disciple for my master, what do you think?"
Recruiting a disciple for a master?
Wan Hua, Li Zhongqiu, and Yu Hong looked at each other.
Yu Hong was steady and said immediately: "No! Gu Daru never said that he would accept this person as his disciple, how can you rashly make ideas for him?"
He is the incense master of Qingqiu Hall, but he is not Gu Qingqiu's disciple.
Li Zhongqiu nodded: "It would be bad if I offend the teacher."
Hong Yuan said: "Senior brother, I don't know. Although the teacher rejected Jiang Han, I can't help but regret it these days. If we can recruit a disciple for the teacher, it will be too late for him to be happy!"
Although Wan Hua and Li Zhongqiu thought it made sense, they still didn't dare to make a rash decision after thinking about it.
Yu Hong said: "This matter must be reported to Gu Daru first before making any decision!"
Hong Yuan became anxious as soon as he heard this. You guys are just dragging your feet and waiting for Zhongli Wuyou to get there first. Why are you just kidding?
"Senior Sister Wanhua, Senior Brother Li, Master Yuxiang, don't you know that Jiang Han recently published a book "The Biography of Lu Zhishen", and once it was sold, the sales volume has been catching up with "The Biography of Wu Song"!" Hong Yuan said.
Wan Hua's eyes moved slightly, Li Zhongqiu frowned, but Yu Hong shook his head and said: "Although "The Biography of Lu Zhishen" is popular, you can't make ideas for Gu Daru because of this!"
Li Zhongqiu said: "Yes!"
Hong Yuan continued: "Jiang Han wrote an article not long ago, titled Sheji. Even a Jinshi could not write this article!"
Wanhua's eyes became excited.
Li Zhongqiu said: "But..."
Yu Hong said: "No, no..."
Hong Yuan said: "Not long ago, Jiang Han wrote a poem with a famous prostitute in Kyoto: This song should only be heard in heaven, but it can only be heard in the world several times! The famous prostitute is still pitiful and famous. She will definitely leave her name in history in the future! Tsk tsk , if a famous prostitute gets Jiang Han and poems, she will be famous in history."
What? A poem for a courtesan in Kyoto?
A name that will leave a lasting legacy?
Rebellious! Rebellious teacher!
How could I be such a rebel!
How can you, the rebel, mislead me?
Wan Hua's eyes were extremely excited, Li Zhongqiu took a breath of air, and even Yu Hong was speechless.
"We are just people who are just seeking fame!" Li Zhongqiu shouted righteously.
Hong Yuan's heart trembled. Did he say the wrong thing?
Li Zhongqiu said: "I just don't want to miss a good junior brother in vain! Hong Yuan, where is Jiang Han now?"
"As far as I know, Jiang Han is now accompanying Qin Muqing to Chunxiang Garden for the Ning family's banquet," Hong Yuan said.
"Prepare the sedan! Prepare the sedan!"
"Ready your horse!"
…
In Chunxiang Garden.
Ning Ya suddenly said: "By the way, Jiang Han, I remember there are rumors that Confucian Zhongli values you very much and accepts you as his disciple?"
The words of the second young master of the Ning family instantly attracted the attention of others.
Jiang Han shook his head and smiled: "Not yet."
Ning Ya showed a pityful expression: "It's okay, after all, a great scholar has a high vision, how can he just accept disciples casually? You don't have a literary position, and it is indeed difficult to gain a foothold in Da Yu... You sell books That’s true, but I didn’t expect that the literary position would be on the table after all. However, my Ning family still has some status, so I can find a way for you to become a clerk in the Yamen.”
Jiang Han smiled and didn't answer, "I'll scare you to death if I just show you a sign now!"
Liu Qingrou took Yan Su's hand and whispered: "Look at that Jiang Han, he's sitting on pins and needles, he has no shame in staying here, right?"
Yan Su nodded and said: "After all, he is an unworthy son-in-law. Compared with Ning Lang Ning Ya, he is like the light of a firefly compared to the brightness of the bright moon."
