"The student has met Mr.
Qi.""
I've seen Mr.
Su.""
I've seen Mr.
Shang.""
I've seen Mr.
Lu.""
I've seen Mr.
Qin."
After saluting respectfully one by one, when they turned to Wei Xi's side, everyone paused, and finally made a disciple salute according to the etiquette of the other party's five gentlemen, "I've seen Mr.
Wei." ”This salute made Wei Xi himself stunned, and then nodded calmly.Everyone straightened up and looked at the girl who was sitting as firmly as Mount Tai in front of them, and found that this salute was actually very natural.It's like the other party should be sitting there upright, on an equal footing with the other five gentlemen.Shang Zhan was the first person to meet between master and apprentice, and he smiled at everyone and pointed to the row of chairs behind them, "Sit down." ”Then everyone sat down in an orderly manner."
This time, the old man and the other five gentlemen have been watching, and you have all performed well."
At the beginning, it was a compliment, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little fluttering in their hearts, but at the same time, they were even more apprehensive.They had seen gentlemen who first boasted about their students, and then belittled them as worthless.Not to mention the praise just now, it's just good.But even if there are more thoughts in their hearts, no one dares to show it, and they all sit obediently and don't make a sound.Shang Zhan then spoke: "After these three days of assessment, the old man and the five gentlemen also have some understanding of the ten of you.After you have participated in this assessment, you should have more or less guessed the intention of these assessments, right?
”Everyone sat obediently and glanced at the person next to them, and nodded in silence in unison.In such an assessment, even the last piece of judgment did not involve knowledge at all, let alone weeding and watering the fields in front of him, and running to the store as a buddy.These are all things they have never experienced, choices they have not made.In those three days, they all did.Now they sit here, and although the intent of these assessments is not yet clear, they have a vague guess.The children before meeting had some understanding in their eyes, and Shang Zhan did not continue to sell Guanzi, "This assessment is not about knowledge, but about the way of behaving in the world, that is, what is the character of each of you." ”"A person's character can be found out in the little things that everyone does.Just as you can stay up in the middle of the night to find a companion who does not return, and then you can take him to complete the later assessment.is also just like what Zhong Qichen said yesterday in the department store not to help him but to harm him. ”Shang Zhan's words made Ye Xiao and the others shocked when they heard it.Just listening to the two things listed by Mr.
Shang, they can also be sure that although the six gentlemen in front of them did not show up, they were all paying attention to them at all times.Suddenly, I had a little idea about the hidden assessment that I couldn't figure out before.And there were only two people present.Liu Chengan's face turned pale, and he hung his head and didn't dare to look at the pair of wise and transparent eyes opposite.Especially one of them was still received by him in the department store yesterday, and his face turned even paler when he thought of what he had done and said at that time.Zhong Qichen, the only one whose name was mentioned, was surprised and a little embarrassed, and quietly glanced at Mrs.
Qin Yuan, who was sitting without speaking.Mr.
Qin said yesterday that he said it well, and now I see that several other gentlemen also know about it.He never thought that he would one day be able to leave his name with the five gentlemen, and now he was so nervous that he didn't know how to put his hands and feet.After a pause, Su Weijian coughed lightly, "Now it's up to the old man to say the name that passed this assessment." ”As soon as these words fell, everyone immediately straightened their backs and pricked up their ears."
Zhong Qichen, Ye Xiao, He Xizhen, Feng Shi, Mu Yunkai, Chen Su, Yan Zheng, Shu Yichi, Chang Xun."
The last name fell, Chang Xun breathed a sigh of relief, thought of something and turned his head to look at Liu Cheng'an, who was sitting next to him.In fact, it was not only him who looked at Liu Chengan, Ye Xiao and them, the six gentlemen in front of them, they all looked at Liu Chengan.Su Weijian looked at the young man's dejected appearance and sighed lightly, "Liu Chengan." ”When his name was called, Liu Chengan raised his head in a daze, and hurriedly stood up again, "The student is here." ”"Now do you know why you are the only one who failed this test?"
In the silence, Liu Chengan nodded with difficulty, "Mr.
Hui, the student knows." ”Compared with others, in terms of knowledge, he is not bad at all, but in terms of dealing with the world, he himself has seen how far the difference is.In this assessment, he lost unjustly."
If you can recognize your own shortcomings, this trip is not in vain."
Wei Xi noticed Liu Chengan's emotional changes, and opened his lips and said, "After you go back, when you want to be willful, think about this assessment." ”Liu Cheng'an's head was slightly hot, and he became more and more ashamed, "Thank you, sir, for your teaching."
Sir, can I come back to your assessment in the future?
”"Yes."
Wei Xi nodded in the surprise of the other five people, but on this occasion, he didn't ask much.When the students were taken away to arrange a new residence and bid farewell to Liu Cheng'an, who failed the assessment, Qin Yuan followed Chao Weixi and looked over, "I thought you were thinking about the whole process without saying a word." ”"His nature is not bad, and he can't lose confidence because of this assessment."
Qin Yuan thought about it, and nodded approvingly, "It's okay." ”Good seedlings are rare, and it is more rewarding to be able to twist crooked seedlings into good seedlings."
Anyway, the second batch of students is coming the day after tomorrow, are you still going to use the assessment questions this time?""
I want to change it, I've got to go back and think about it.""
I'm still using the original, it's kind of interesting."
When several gentlemen began to discuss the assessment topics of the next batch of students, Ye Xiao and the others had already returned to the house.Everyone's luggage has already been packed, and it will all be piled up in the hall.Liu Chengan picked out his back from the pile of luggage, suppressed the uncomfortable gaze in his heart, pulled out a smile, and pretended to be relaxed: "It's not too early, then I'll go first." ”"Cheng An."
Liu Chengan raised his hand and interrupted Ye Xiao's words, "Don't comfort me, in the past few days, because I am alone, everyone has been affected, I'm sorry." ”He bowed as he spoke, "I'm leaving." ”After speaking, he strode out of the hall, and when he walked to the door, he heard footsteps behind him, and he paused and turned his head, "No need to send it." ”Ye Xiao stood at the front, "I hope that next time I come over, you can pass the assessment of the gentlemen." ”Liu Chengan blinked vigorously and nodded with a smile, "Okay." ”When the back in front disappeared, everyone returned to the house, each took his luggage, and was taken to the new house.The new house was very close to the school they had just visited.The water is murmuring and the scenery is quiet.And it is no longer the previous house where ten people live together, but a large house with several small houses, one person and one yard.Zhong Qichen looked at the elegant courtyard in front of him, and couldn't help but look at the young man who brought him over again, "Is this courtyard really me living alone?"
”The young man nodded and handed him the key in his hand, "Congratulations, you are a resident of Taoyuan Town."
Also, don't be late for the apprenticeship ceremony tomorrow. ”Zhong Qichen nodded hurriedly, and waited for the young man to lead the others to a nearby house, he tightly pinched the key in his hand, and stood outside the courtyard gate for a long time before opening the courtyard and entering.Coming to Taoyuan Town should be the most correct decision he has made in his life.When he got the key to his own house, this sentence also flashed in the minds of others.Soon it was the next day.Early in the morning, Ye Xiao and the others gathered at the door of the school.His hair was meticulously combed, wearing a uniform azure robe sent by Tianyi Pavilion, and the jade belt was fluttering and handsome, and even the boots under his feet were not stained with any dust.One by one, they brought out twelve points of solemnity.The apprenticeship ceremony was held on a spacious platform square in the school.The futon incense case has already been arranged, and the seats and tea are also ready.Such an occasion is the first time for Taoyuan Town, except for the first batch of students and five gentlemen of the nine schools who want to apprentice, as long as there are adults and children in Taoyuan Town, they will all come to watch the ceremony.However, even a child did not make a sound during the whole solemn ceremony.The whole apprenticeship ceremony is simple and grand.When the salute fell, the nine teenagers looked at the Venerable Master who was sitting at the top and received their tea, and then turned their heads to look at each other, their eyebrows and eyes dazzling like the sun.------ off topic------ will be back to the usual update tomorrow
