White Snake Demonstration Walk

Chapter 293
The beautiful woman was feeding the goldfish in the pavilion, when she heard footsteps, she raised her head and looked this way, her eyes fell on Qiao Chenan, she stood up and asked, "Who is this young master?"

Qiao Chen'an raised his eyes and saw that his teacher's wife was wearing a goose yellow long dress, wearing a red hairpin, and painted a touch of eyeliner. Although she only applied a little makeup, her eyebrows and eyes naturally revealed a kind of grace and luxury.

He only glanced at it briefly, but out of etiquette, he didn't dare to look any further. He quickly lowered his head, saluted as a junior, and said respectfully: "Student Qiao Chen'an met his teacher's wife, and it was the teacher who received it when he was the dean of Chongwen Academy in Hangzhou. Student, I don't know Mrs. Ma, have you ever heard the teacher mention me?"

After hearing this, the beautiful woman said with a smile: "So it's you, Xiaoan. Your teacher told me a few days ago that you would come to the house in the next few days. I didn't expect that he guessed it right. I usually stay at home. I often hear him praise you for being pure and gentle, intelligent and sensitive, and seeing you now, you really look dignified."

Qiao Chen'an hurriedly said with embarrassment: "I'm just a little quick-witted. Thanks to the teacher's great kindness, I was accepted as a disciple, but I definitely can't deserve such praise."

Mrs. Zhang walked up to Qiao Chen'an, and said with a smile: "If you don't have real talent and learning, how can you beat all the students and get the first place in the Ningzhou Autumn Examination? You don't need to be humble."

Qiao Chen'an lightly mentioned the many gifts he bought when he came here, and said: "I came in a hurry this time, and I didn't have time to prepare many things. These things are a little bit of my heart as a junior. You and Master must accept them."

"How is this good? Since you are Li Zhi's student, we will be a family in the future, why should you be so polite?"

Mrs. Zhang insisted on refusing, but she couldn't hold back Qiao Chen'an, and was afraid of the filial piety of this junior, so she ordered the young man to accept him. His eyes fell on Qiao Chen'an in front of him. His eyes are like stars, his hair is tied with a hairpin, and he is slim in green robes, but he does not look like an ordinary scholar. He gives people a feeling of being fragile, but on the contrary, he has a sense of freedom and ease like a knight-errant. Even among thousands of people, he can It can be recognized at a glance, just like standing out from the crowd, which is impressive.

In his heart, he secretly thought that his family lord took in this student who was not only talented, he was not proud of his talent, he also attached great importance to etiquette, respected his teacher, he was indeed a first-class good man, the more he looked at Qiao Chenan, the more pleasing he was.

Smiled and said: "Your teacher is in the study right now, come with me!"

Qiao Chenan didn't even dare to say anything, and followed Zhang respectfully, along the cobblestone-paved winding path, all the way to the courtyard, and came to a spacious room, Zhang gently opened the door, and said joyfully: " Master, look who is here!"

Qiao Chen'an stepped into the room, and saw the familiar figure at a glance, and immediately prostrated himself on the ground, saying: "The student, Qiao Chen'an, has met the teacher!"

Wang Lizhi was sitting on a yellow rosewood chair, holding a scroll in his hand and reading silently. After hearing his wife's words, he looked at Qiao Chen'an, but he snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

When Mrs. Zhang saw this, she couldn't help complaining: "Look at you, Xiao'an came to Lin'an City from a long distance, and the first thing he did was to visit you as a teacher. Why are you doing this? Don't you want to hurt the hearts of the students? ?”

Wang Lizhi didn't answer her, just looked at Qiao Chen'an quietly, and said, "Do you know your mistake?"

Qiao Chenan respectfully said: "The student knows his mistake."

Wang Lizhi said again: "Where did you go wrong?"

"As a student of the academy, the student concealed the truth from the teacher, left the academy privately, and went out for several months, thus delaying his studies. He really failed the teacher's cultivation and expectations, so there was a mistake."

Hearing what he said, Wang Lizhi's expression softened a lot, and he said loudly: "Get up! At least you didn't disappoint me and won the first place in the Qiu Wei exam."

Qiao Chenan got up, and Mrs. Zhang stretched out her hand and gave Wang Lizhi a hard twist on the back, dissatisfied: "You, you always have such an old face, look at how filial Xiaoan is to you as a teacher, you are good, come up and don't care If you don’t care about it, just ask me first, how can you be such a teacher!”

Although Wang Lizhi was always serious in front of outsiders, but he had nothing to do with his beloved wife, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, just count it as my mistake."

Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes at him lightly, and said unforgivingly: "It's your fault." Then she turned her head to Qiao Chen'an, and said with a smile: "Xiao An, don't look at the old man like this, in fact, he is cold-faced and warm-hearted. , I still miss you in my heart! Do you know who is hosting this Ningzhou Qiuwei test?"

Wang Lizhi suddenly looked a little unnatural, and said, "What are you talking about!"

Qiao Chen'an is so smart, seeing the expressions of the two, and hearing Zhang's words just now, he had some guesses in his heart, his eyes fell on Wang Lizhi, and he was surprised: "Could it be the teacher..."

Suddenly seeing myself, the teacher who is always stern and serious, seemed to be blushing a little bit, I couldn't help laughing secretly, and said in my heart: Sure enough, one thing is one thing, and only in front of the teacher's wife, the teacher will reveal this. look like.

As soon as he thought about it, he thought of himself again. Why isn't he himself like this?No matter how they are in front of outsiders, when they are with the four daughters of Bai Suzhen, they are always willing to accompany them with their best selves, and only they can "bully" themselves.

Being looked at by his students like this, Wang Lizhi seemed to lose face, coughed lightly, motioned Qiao Chenan to sit on the opposite seat, and said, "You don't need to be too polite. When you come to my house in the future, treat this place as your own. it is good."

After Qiao Chenan was seated, Mrs. Zhang took out the teacup by herself, set up a small red clay stove at the side, and boiled tea for the two of them. Wang Lizhi said, "You are here this time, what are your plans for the future."

Qiao Chenan thought for a moment, and said, "To tell the truth, teacher, I plan to settle in the city first, and prepare for the spring exam next year with peace of mind."

Wang Lizhi nodded slightly, and said: "It should be so. With your talent and learning, it is not difficult to pass the Chunwei test. As for whether you can win the first place in Chunwei this time, it depends on whether you can beat other scholars who are rushing to take the test. Now, during this period of time, I will teach you with all my heart."

In fact, at the stage of the Chunwei Examination, after several rounds of examination and screening, those who are qualified to come to the examination are all talents selected from a hundred, and there are not a few people with outstanding literary talents. Although Wang Lizhi is confident that Qiao Chen'an will pass the examination, the name of "Huiyuan" , but it's not so easy to get. It's purely based on the talent in each person's chest, and there's no chance at all.

On the contrary, it is the final stage of the imperial examination. Whoever can get the title of "No. It's nothing, and it's common to be hand-picked as the number one scholar.

Qiao Chen calmly said: "Students will never disappoint the teacher!"
