"Sir, you didn't say this was the case."
Lin Wanjie asked sadly.
There were curious eyes all around, looking at the combination of Lin Wanjie and Shi Che. For a moment, no one knew what these two people were doing.
It was natural for Shi Che. He had been studying at Wangjia Meng for many years, and this was the first time that a student was attracted by Mr. Ouyang.
If Lin Wanjie could be sent to Mr. Ouyang's door, he would be able to boast about it for the rest of his life.
"This is the case in the world, so be patient and don't be impatient."
"Isn't this Mr. Shi who wrote the "Male Virtue Classic"? Why are you here too?"
Suddenly, a contemptuous voice came.
He is a young man holding a folding fan. He is dressed cleanly and straightly. The word "Ouyang" is very obvious on his chest.
It was as if he was telling the people around him that he was from the Ouyang family.
Shi Che looked at the other person and cupped his hand implicitly, but his eyes showed that he was someone he didn't recognize.
"What a rare visitor. I heard that Mr. Shi teaches in the Wang family and was born as a Jinshi, but he is so careless. It seems that there is not much achievement behind the imperial examination."
Shi Che still held up his hands and smiled. He was a fat man, but his smile sounded harmless and a bit mean.
Seeing that Shi Che didn't answer, the other party continued: "Since the "Male Virtue Classic", has Mr. Shi still written lyrics? Is there any article for us to admire?"
Shi Che still ignored him.
The other party circled around and stood in front of Lin Wanjie, wanting to say something else.
Lin Wanjie suddenly said: "Are you the son-in-law?"
The other party was stunned for a moment and choked: "How do you know?"
"If I wasn't a son-in-law, I wouldn't have such a deep affection for the "Male Virtue Classic". I guess I was punished by my wife to copy it at home, right?"
Lin Wanjie was really right!
There was no son-in-law in Yangzhou City who didn't hate Shi Che. If this man hadn't written the "Male Virtue Classic", how could their son-in-law's life be so miserable?
Gouri's "Nan De Jing" is read in the morning, copied at noon, and memorized at night, day after day, year after year, without daring to slack off.
Anyone who makes mistakes will be punished by copying the "Male Virtue Classic".
All the sons-in-law lived in the water and heat because of Shi Che's masterpiece, and their lives were miserable.
When I met the rightful owner today, I couldn't help but come up and mock him a few words to relieve the hatred in my heart.
Shi Che himself was used to it and knew what these people were thinking, so he ignored them.
But Lin Wanjie didn't know, he couldn't bear to listen, so he said something.
The other party choked on Lin Wanjie and was very embarrassed. He pointed at Lin Wanjie and gritted his teeth and said, "Whose servant is this? Who let him in?"
One sentence instantly attracted the attention of many people around him.
Everyone was wondering before, not knowing where Lin Wanjie came from.
Finally someone asked, and everyone was curious.
Everyone thought this was someone's servant, but other people's servants were not allowed to come in here.
As soon as these words came out, someone immediately came and asked: "Hey, whose family are you from? Please get out now."
Lin Wanjie originally wanted to leave, but he turned around and wanted to leave.
But Shi Che stopped him and said quickly: "Hey, he is not a servant, he is a Tong Sheng. Mr. Ouyang asked to see him by name."
ha?
When these words were spoken, everyone was confused, and their minds were filled with questions, thinking they had heard wrongly.
"What did you say?" The husband-in-law's eyes widened.
"This is a candidate who has just passed the child examination. Because of his excellent answers in the examination paper, he came here specially to become his teacher."
"This, this, this...this person is here to become a disciple?"
"Hahaha!"
The whole room burst into laughter and was speechless.
Who would have imagined that a rich, middle-aged man would come to Ouyang's house to become his apprentice?
Still taking part in the childbirth examination?
Taken by Mr. Ouyang?
"How can it be?"
"Such a scary thing, Mr. Ouyang would have been blind only to fall in love with him."
"This doesn't look like a scholar at all."
Lin Wanjie himself knew that he could cause so much discussion. With his appearance, he would laugh at him if he saw it.
Therefore, he did not want to appear in such a large crowd.
I knew I would be looked down upon.
Lin Wanjie is self-aware, and his character will not argue in such an occasion. He has a good attitude and is not impatient until the scene gradually quiets down.
But Shi Che couldn't bear it anymore and shouted to the people around him: "Don't judge people by their appearance. Learned people have never valued their appearance. Poems and articles will not be more beautiful just because the writer is good-looking. Who cares?" Appearance, age, as long as you are capable."
"But does he seem capable?"
"He's just a servant. He was born to do menial and tiring work. He is not the material for studying."
"It is simply degrading to allow such people to study."
There were many responses and the scene became lively.
The son-in-law didn't expect so many people to tease him, so he didn't even bother to speak and looked at Lin Wanjie with pleasure.
Shi Che still wanted to argue, but Lin Wanjie stopped him: "Forget it, let's go."
Shi Che was dissatisfied and instead said with a sense of humor: "Forget it? How can we forget it? You are better than them in knowledge and have many ingenious ideas. It is not difficult to pass the scholar examination, let alone a child student. How can you let it go because of the words of a few ignorant people? Backing down? Wouldn’t it be a waste of your talents?”
This fat gentleman seemed to be about the same age, and he had only met him two or three times, but he was actually willing to speak for Lin Wanjie.
Lin Wanjie was surprised by Mr. Fatty's attitude, but he was also touched.
Everyone laughed at him, but Mr. Shi took him seriously.
So Lin Wanjie asked: "Do all children have to change teachers and colleges after passing the exam?"
"That's not true." Shi Che thought for a while and said, "Some college teachers have very high academic reputations and teach children and government examinations at the same time. That doesn't mean they need to be replaced."
"In this case, why bother to change again? With my conditions, I guess other than Mr. Shi, you would be willing to take me in, but no one else would take me in, right?"
"Nonsense. Mr. Ouyang has already changed the letter and asked you to do it. How can he still make false claims? It proves that Mr. Ouyang is willing to take him in."
"Mr. Ouyang only read my poems and didn't see me in person. If he had seen it, he might have changed his mind, right?"
The son-in-law next to him laughed when he heard it: "Hahaha, you are self-aware. To tell you the truth, in the first round of the interview today, the first thing you look at is your appearance, and I am the interviewer. With your appearance and age, even if you are thousands of With so many talents and learnings, I can’t even hope to become a disciple of Mr. Ouyang.”
The other party has already talked about this, how can Lin Wanjie stay longer?
He looked at Shi Che and shrugged: "Look, I don't want to see you at all, so Mr. Shi, let's continue to form a team."
"Continue... to form a team?"
This adjective is a bit unfamiliar to Shi Che, but it is a little difficult to understand.
Shi Che was a little frustrated and sighed: "Hey, what a good opportunity, what a good talent, but it's a pity... it's a pity that these people don't know how to appreciate it. It would be great if you could become Mr. Ouyang's disciple, and I could follow him. Take advantage of it."
Lin Wanjie patted him on the shoulder comfortingly: "Don't worry, once your student exerts his strength, you will feel that your reputation is too great, and you will feel like you are too high up there."
