The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 25

[25. Chapter 25: The one who teaches and solves doubts]

Ouyang Zhi and the others came at an auspicious time. Not only that, they also brought bacon, longan and other items with them.

The apprenticeship ceremony last time was too simple. In their opinion, since the raw rice has become cooked rice, although the news spread to the ears of many classmates and attracted countless people’s ridicule, Ouyang Zhi and the other three understood that one day for them As a master and a father for life, it is better to solemnly worship as a master.

So the three people came here to pay a formal visit, and at the same time they also brought the gift of repair.

But when they entered this hall today, Fang Jifan’s attire immediately blinded them.

Fang Jifan was seen wearing a very expensive silk gown and a crown on his head. Not only did a pom-pom hang down from the crown behind his head, but in the middle of the crown was a huge pearl. Sunlight filtered in from the window, and the pearl shone brightly in the halo.

Not only that, Fang Jifan’s waist, in addition to a bright ‘golden belt’, also hung a teacup-sized jade pendant.

It’s so dazzling, it’s really…a bit…a bit…

Ouyang Zhi and the other two people are suffering from the heart, committing evil, what kind of evil have they committed, he and others worshiped Fang Jifan as their teacher, and they have already made a big fuss. What a joke. Looking at his mentor like this now, Ouyang Zhi wants to beat his chest.

The three of them all sighed inwardly as if they had eaten flies, and finally bowed down and said: “Students pay their respects to Enfu.”

The word “Enfu” has its origins long ago. Since the Southern Tang Dynasty, it has been said that “you must not be loyal to Enfu.” During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, a minister named Wang Fu, in order to curry favor with the powerful officials at that time, became his disciple to the eunuch Master Liang, and affectionately called him ‘Mr. Enfu’. Claiming to be a lackey.

Since then, Enfu has become the official title of the teacher, which is a written term.

Fang Jifan raised his feet and waved his hands proudly: “Don’t be polite, don’t be polite, get up. Your name is Ouyang Zhi? And you… your name is Liu Wenshan, and you, Jiang Chen? Ouyang Zhi is not a good name, as a teacher I think Ouyang Feng is very domineering.”

Ouyang Zhi was heartbroken and felt like a good girl who had become a thief. He muttered, “En Mansion, the student’s father is called Ouyang Feng.”

Fang Jifan was stunned and said subconsciously: “Disrespect, disrespect.”

What he said was completely incomprehensible to Ouyang Zhi and the other three, but that’s what people are like. When these stupid words and nonsense are spoken in other people’s mouths, they feel inconsistent, but from Fang Jifan’s mouth Speaking of which, Ouyang Zhi and the others didn’t think there was anything unusual.

Fang Jifan’s eyes fell on the bundle of gifts carried by the three of them, and he smiled again: “Why, when you come to the master’s house, you bring a gift. It’s too polite. It’s too polite. What’s in it?”

Liu Wenshan wrote in an authentic way: “This is the gift of Xiuxiu. There are bacon, which means thanking the teacher for his kindness; there are celery, which means being diligent and diligent; there are dried longan, which means enlightenment and wisdom; and there are lotus seeds, which symbolize the teacher’s painstaking teachings. As for red dates and red beans…”

When he heard about these worthless things, Fang Jifan lost all interest at all and couldn’t help but sigh: “You poor scholars are still the best. You can talk so much about worthless things. Okay, okay, stop talking. It gives me a headache.”

“…” Ouyang Zhi, Liu Wenshan and Jiang Chen felt like they wanted to die.

Fang Jifan cheered up and squinted his eyes. These three scholars were of good character. Since he had accepted them as his disciples, it was good. It was time for him to give full play to his own strengths. As his master, he naturally hoped to make the three of them his disciples. After being trained by a disciple, a disciple in this era is like a son. When a son becomes successful, the father is the one who benefits the most.

Of course, these little things are hidden deep in Fang Jifan’s heart, but he cannot put them on the table: “I heard that in half a month, the provincial examination will be held?”

“Yes.”

Fang Jifan counted with his fingers: “There is still enough time. Work hard.”

Ouyang Zhi and the others bowed and said, “Please remember your teacher’s teachings and study hard to live up to expectations.”

Fang Jifan said, “What are your chances?”

“This…” The three of them looked at each other.

After hesitating for a long time, Ouyang Zhi sighed and said: “I don’t dare to deceive Enfu. The three students are mediocre in talent and… not good at school. If they work harder, there may be a slight chance of getting into the list. However, a few days ago, because of a classmate, I got sick and delayed my studies. The provincial examination is coming soon. I’m afraid… I’m afraid…”

This means that there is no chance for them in this provincial examination.

Fang Jifan exclaimed: “Don’t be downcast. I believe in you, teacher. There is still half a month left. Who says it won’t happen? As long as you study hard, you will have a chance.”

This sentence is like what a teacher should look like.

Ouyang Zhi and the other three were actually very happy, their eyes were red with emotion. After all, in any era, a good person cannot be forgiven if he does only one bad thing; while a bad person is immediately praised for doing a good thing. In their hearts, Enfu…well…is a bit like that. Their threshold for Enfu is relatively low. As long as he doesn’t say weird things, it’s already rare. If he can still look like a mentor, give them a try. , this… is enough to make them burst into tears of gratitude and comfort.

“Yes, the three students must work hard.”

Fang Jifan continued with a smile: “Of course hard work is important, but the most important thing is to have an expert to teach students according to their aptitude and guide them well.”

Ouyang Zhi and others felt that it was reasonable The three of them are from poor families and have mediocre qualifications. They are what they are today through hard work. On the other hand, many scholars also have mediocre qualifications, but they have the guidance of famous teachers, and their knowledge is much more sophisticated than the three of them.

They agreed with Enfu’s words.

Liu Wenshan was overjoyed. Could it be that Enfu really invited an expert to come? They couldn’t help but ask, “May I ask En Mansion, where is this master?”

Ouyang Zhi and Jiang Chen subconsciously looked around, eager to see which master it was.

Fang Jifan’s face immediately became unsightly. Thanks to his thick skin, he finally didn’t fall out, but pointed at his nose: “This master is naturally my mentor.”

“…” Ouyang Zhi and the others were completely shocked.

“Starting today, my teacher will personally teach you how to read and prepare for the final sprint for the provincial examination. Although your qualifications are average, if you can serve as a teacher, your chances of being named on the gold list will be great.”

Ouyang Zhi was surprised, maybe he couldn’t bear it .

He stopped and collapsed on the ground, his face ashen.

Liu Wenshan and Jiang Chen’s eyes suddenly became wet, and tears welled up in their eyes.

God will kill me!

Originally, they had neglected their studies in recent days, and besides, they were not very talented. I originally thought that I could take advantage of these days to study hard, and maybe there would be a glimmer of hope. Who would have thought…who would have thought…it would be

over…it would be all over. …

After worshiping a mentor, you still want to let him do whatever you want. If this continues, let alone the pilot test this year, I am afraid that even if you give them three hundred years, there is no hope of passing the test. The future is bleak!

“Enfu, we want to study on our own.” Jiang Chen, the youngest, prayed with choked sobs.

Fang Jifan originally wanted to be nice, since he was his master after all, but when he thought about it, he would never allow the overlord to force himself on him. Fortunately, Fang Jifan is a prodigal, so… he had to act as he is. .

Fang Jifan laughed ferociously, put on his usual domineering attitude, and said: “Stop talking nonsense, from now on, you will move to the master’s house. You can study here without leaving the house. The master will personally come to train you. If you don’t obey, you will be punished.” Just break your legs!”

“Deng Jian!” Fang Jifan shouted.

Deng Jian had already poked his head outside and was elated when he saw that the young master was acting up again. The doctor had just asked him if the young master had any signs of a recurrence of the disease. He was still a little worried. Although the young master’s brain disease is getting better now, he heard that the disease is easy to deal with. It happened repeatedly. Now when I saw the young master teasing three scholars here, I immediately felt relieved. He trotted in and said: “Young man is here.”

Fang Jifan said with a solemn face: “Get a whip, the young master wants talents to come out from under the stick.”

After Fang Jifan said these words, he felt a little familiar. Hey, aren’t these the words of the British Duke?

It seems that bad habits are contagious. The British male is not a thing!

“Okay, okay.” Deng Jian responded repeatedly with a smile. He peeked at Ouyang Zhi and the others who were already pale, and felt happy.

Calm has returned to the capital.

There has been no news about Fang Da’s prodigal son for a long time.

This guy seemed to disappear all of a sudden.

But in the Fang family, everything was going crazy.

Every morning early in the morning, Fang Jifan, who was in a good mood, hurriedly got up and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the education of Ming Dynasty.

………

Staying up late to upload, the conscience of the industry, and a role model for mankind!
