Fei Zhixian also said with a smile: "Getting third this time is really far beyond my expectation. However, there is still a long way to go before my husband's ardent hope, but fortunately there are still a few exams to come, step by step

Let’s go, I hope sir can give me some more advice so that they can make further progress. In the future, their titles on the gold list will all depend on your advice.”

Fei Wutong and Fei Wudan were still standing there stupidly. Seeing Qiu Wuhen turning away from them, they didn't know what to do.

Linghu Ding winked at Qiu Wuhen. Qiu Wuhen knew that these two children were pure and kind at heart, and thought that they were really angry, not happy. He couldn't bear it, so he finally smiled. Fei Wutong and Fei Wuhen

When Wudan saw his master smiling, his heart dropped. He laughed along with everyone else. The atmosphere in the hall was very good for a while.

The two brothers Fei Wudan and Fei Wutong were prompted by this and finally reacted. At that moment, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said with a red face: "Sir, it's all our fault for being trash. Please forgive me. We will do it in the future."

I will definitely listen to my husband’s teachings, work hard, and live up to my husband’s expectations.”

Naturally, Qiu Wuhen would not really blame the two children with low natural qualifications, so he said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it is best to work hard and make progress, and not to live up to the expectations of your elders and husbands. Get up, today

It’s a good day, don’t kneel anymore.”

The two of them banged their heads three times. Neither of them could believe that they had done so well in the exam.

Qiu Wuhen said to the magistrate: "Since it's a good day, let's go to a bar and have fun without drinking!"

Upon hearing this, Fei Zhixian quickly echoed: "This time, many relatives and friends have been invited, and there are also several disciples from Wenjiang Prefecture who also want to come and become my teacher. They have all arrived and are waiting for you!"

"

Qiu Wuhen looked at him sideways, thinking that you didn't even ask for my consent, so why did you ask someone else to come and be my disciple? You are a good person, so if you want qualifications like Fei Wutong and Fei Wudan,

Isn’t it that I am exhausted? So I kept a straight face and said nothing.

Linghu Ding was still smart. Seeing Qiu Wuhen who was happy just now, he suddenly became unhappy. He guessed that it was about apprenticeship. He rolled his eyes and said: "We also invited shopkeeper Qian of Jinzhitang. After all, we were all together last time.

After going to Qianshan, it can be considered that we have shared the joys and sorrows for more than two months. Even if my husband doesn't want to participate in the celebration, it can be regarded as a get-together for the few of us to have a glass of wine!"

After Qiu Wuhen heard this, he felt even more unhappy and said: "She is not me, she is just a colleague, but as we have agreed, as for the apprenticeship, I will not accept her if she is not a good match."

Fei Zhixian didn't expect that it would take so much effort to invite Qiu Wuhen to have a drink this time. He agreed repeatedly and didn't dare to say more.

Feizhi County had already prepared the carriage and horses, and immediately got on the carriage and headed to Jiuchongtian Inn. Qiu Wuhen had just been here before.

The shopkeeper smiled tacitly when he saw him.

Qiu Wuhen and his friends held their banquet on the third floor. From here, leaning on the railing, you could see the entire Yunduan County.

The entire third floor has been taken over by Feizhi County. Not only the squires of the county were invited, but also the Yunduan County government officials came to apprentice after hearing the news, including many well-known officials, wealthy businessmen and squires. The biggest one was

She is the wife of the prefect. The prefect’s wife’s surname is Tang. She gave birth to a daughter and two sons. However, both sons are in the capital. One is just a toddle, and the other is already studying in the Imperial College in the capital.

It seems that after discovering Qiu Wuhen, a rare talent, he discussed with his wife that he wanted his eldest daughter to come over first to test the depth of the water. If it was indeed good and the results were significant, then he would ask his eldest son to leave the Imperial College and come here. So this time Mrs. Tang came to see the teacher, because in her eyes, Qiu Wuhen, an eighth-grade official, certainly didn't like him. In her eyes, the title "teacher" was more suitable.

Of course, Qiu Wuhen would not offend these people. After being introduced by Fei Zhixian, they met each other and bowed their hands as a courtesy. He was neither arrogant nor humble, which was really admirable.

After the guests and hosts were seated, of course they said a lot of flattery. But Qiu Wuhen just smiled and nodded, not even bothering to be modest. When it was time to express his tone, he had to have some meaning.

After three drinks and five dishes, Mrs. Tang brought a cup to Qiu Wuhen to toast, called her daughter over, and said, "This is my little girl. Her maiden name is Yan. She has always been able to read and write, and this time she learned that Fei The young master of the county actually passed the third place in the college examination under your guidance, but he failed to pass the exam twice before, so he is very appreciative. Our master hopes that the little girl can study under the teacher and do some learning, please ask the teacher Just agree."

Others brought their sons and daughters here to prepare to become apprentices, and some watched eagerly. If the prefect's wife asked for permission to become apprentices, others would be able to speak. If the prefect's children were not accepted, there was no hope for others. Well, I didn't have to say anything, so as not to spoil the fun. Therefore, these few words attracted everyone's eyes to drift over, and they all looked at it eagerly.

Qiu Wuhen looked at the woman and saw that the woman in front of him was only fifteen or sixteen years old. She had a simple bun, a light pink skirt, big cherry lips and eyes, and a peach-pink complexion. She looked pretty.

However, Qiu Wuhen didn't dwell too much on her face. She was still a woman waiting to be married, so he looked a bit too arrogant if he couldn't help but look at her.

"What did she learn from me? She didn't take the eight-legged essay test. Haven't you already learned about literacy? A woman's lack of talent is her virtue. What's the point of learning so much?"

But the woman came up and gave her a blessing and said: "Greetings, sir, my little girl's name is Tang Yan. I don't want to learn eight-part essay from you, but I also want to learn calligraphy from him. I have seen the model essays written by him, and each one is different." fonts, I counted his fonts, I am afraid there are hundreds of them. It is amazing that he is so knowledgeable and proficient in so many fonts. I have loved calligraphy since I was a child, but I have never had a good teacher, so I can see With your master's talent and learning, I have wanted to become a master. I begged my parents to bring me here to study as a master. Please, sir, please agree to accept me, and I will definitely work hard."

"Must?" Qiu Wuhen is used to seeing these officials' children, all of whom are bossing around. What does "must" mean? Is this an apprenticeship or an order?

Seeing the sneer on Qiu Wuhen's lips, the woman lost the calmness on her face just now. She turned her head and looked at her mother anxiously, a little nervously.

"Sorry, Miss Tang, I don't have time to teach you. And writing is really useless for a master. The most important thing is to practice by yourself. You have to keep writing, and you will be able to write well. Don't practice hard. , no matter how good the teacher is, it’s useless, I guess you still may not have practiced enough.”

Tang Yan said pitifully: "I should say that I have worked hard enough. Since I started writing, I have read out a thick stack of paper every day, but I always feel that I can't get the point and can't find the copybook I like. Seeing that Mr. is good at it

I can't help myself with all kinds of calligraphy. I found several fonts that I like in the essays provided by Mr. Fei Wudan. I hope Mr. can teach me how to write such calligraphy. I hope I can practice them.

With words like this, I feel satisfied."

Qiu Wuhen saw that this girl was polite and humble, and didn't have the temper of a young lady. She thought to herself that she was the daughter of a prefect after all. She was a very big official among local officials. If she didn't give this face, it would still be troublesome to get promoted in the future.

.Anyway, he only needs one copybook. He can just write a bunch of copybooks and let her practice by herself.

So he took a soft breath and said, "Whose copybook do you like?"

Tang Yan quickly took out a piece of calligraphy from her sleeve and held it in both hands and handed it over. Qiu Wuhen took it and took a look. It turned out that it was written and printed by herself. Dong Qichang, a famous calligrapher in the late Ming Dynasty, was taking the imperial examination.

This article is related to this exam question, so I printed it out as a sample article.

Qiu Wuhen looked at the copybook and didn't think it was very good-looking. After all, he didn't study calligraphy at all. He only knew whose hand the calligraphy was because it was shown on the medicine gourd, but he didn't know who Dong Qichang was.

Who, in fact, Dong Qichang was a famous calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty. He could be said to be one of the best in the Ming Dynasty. He also held a very high official position. He was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. His calligraphy was widely spread in the late Ming Dynasty and had great influence.

It defined the entire direction of calligraphy in the Ming Dynasty.

It seems that this is a person who lived nearly a hundred years later. There is no trace of his handwriting. Tang Yan actually likes his handwriting, which is a bit discerning. Moreover, this person has many calligraphy works passed down from generation to generation, so she doesn't have to worry about it.

Bring it so that she can copy it.

So I asked Yao Gulu in my mind: "Can you type some more Dong Qichang's calligraphy works for me?"

The medicine gourd appeared immediately, shook it twice and printed out a line of words: "No problem, you can get as much as you want."

Qiu Wuhen nodded. Once this is done, it won't be a problem. He nodded and said: "Okay, I can teach you. But as I said before, the master will lead you in. Cultivation is personal. The most I can do is write some calligraphy for you.

, you can understand it yourself. The quality of your understanding depends on your own destiny. I can't teach you too much, and I can't tell you anything about it. If you want to ask me these questions, you'd better find someone else. If you want to copy mine,

One word, that’s no problem.”

To put it bluntly, Qiu Wuhen just wants to tell the other party that you can only follow what is written and cannot ask questions. If you ask too many questions, I will show my weakness.

Tang Yan couldn't help but couldn't help but nodded and said, "No problem, I will study hard and practice hard to live up to your teacher's training."

When she heard that Qiu Wuhen was willing to accept her as her disciple to learn calligraphy, her mother nodded happily and said, "That's great, then kneel down and kowtow!"

Qiu Wuhen quickly waved his hand and said: "Forget it, there's no need for that. Besides, I'm just learning calligraphy from me, not eight-legged essay. There's no need to call me master or apprentice, nor do you need to call me husband, master."

Mrs. Tang wanted to say more, but Tang Yan saw that the young and handsome Master Qiu in front of her was actually a somewhat temperamental person. She knew that if her mother said too much, she would not necessarily regret her words.
