Early the next morning, Jiang Anyi left Funing County and rushed to Fan Shi's house in Jinshui Village, Fuyang County. The sound of chickens and dogs is still there, and the idyllic scenery still exists. Jumping off the horse from afar, Jiang Anyi led the horse to the door of Fan Shi, the big locust tree was like a cover, Brother Fan who answered the door back then was far away in Beijing, I don't know who will open the door now.

Knocking on the door knocker, footsteps came, and the door opened, and inside was an elderly man over half a hundred years old, whose face was somewhat similar to Brother Fan. Jiang Anyi remembered that Master Fan had three sons, Master Fan was the youngest, I don't know if it was the senior brother or the second senior brother, these two senior brothers were both officials in other places back then, and they had never seen each other.

With a bow, Jiang Anyi reported to himself: "In Xia Jiang Anyi, I am a student of Master Fan, and I have come to see Mr. ”

"You are Anyi?" The elder cried out in surprise, looked up and down, and said, "Father often said that he has given birth to countless people, and the most proud one, An Yiye, come into the house quickly, oh, by the way, my name is Fan Shixian, your senior brother." "Fan Yanzhong's three sons, Fan Shixian, Fan Shixue, and Fan Shiben.

"An Yi has seen the senior brother." Jiang Anyi bowed and said, "Master Fan can be at home?" ”

"The old man went fishing by the pool, and I will have someone call him."

Jiang Anyi laughed, remembering the scene of fishing by the Yunshui Lake back then, Mr. Fan was so angry that he couldn't catch a fish and even threw the fishing rod into the pool, and he felt funny when he thought of the whisker and staring at the angry look. The two children who followed Mr. Fan at that time, Fan Zhichang and Fan Qianli, have grown up, Fan Zhichang has become a colt in high school, and I heard Fan Shiben say that Fan Qianli married a scholarly family in the same county, her husband's surname is Qiao, and she is a young man.

"Senior brother, let's go by myself, I know where the teacher is, it's still early, maybe I can catch two fish and come back, the teacher's fishing skills are not very good."

There is still a distance from Yunshuitan, Jiang Anyi saw Master Fan's full head of white hair messy in the wind, since the farewell of Huangyang Academy has not been seen for seven years, Jiang Anyi was pleased to find that Master Fan except for his beard and hair are all white, his face is full of red light, and he is sitting on a bamboo chair humming a small tune, at ease.

trotted forward, straightened his clothes and saluted respectfully: "Jiang Anyi greets Master Fan." ”

"Anyi, why are you here?" Fan Yanzhong threw down the fishing rod in surprise and stood up, grabbed him and looked him up and down, and muttered in his mouth: "I have a short beard, I look a lot more mature, the strong boy of the year has grown into an adult, good, good, good." ”

"Is the teacher in good health?"

"Okay, it's very good, the old man can still walk back and forth in the city with a cane, and his body is stronger than it was at the beginning. I guess I have practiced the method of meditation and qi cultivation taught to me by the wise Taoist, and now my eyes are not dazzled and my legs and feet are neat. ”

Saying that, Fan Yanzhong also waved his hands and feet, and said proudly: "Old man Zhao fights with the old man all day long, and now he has to take three breaths when he takes two steps, watching the old man eat and drink big fish and meat, and swallow saliva, and he is angry." Hahaha. ”

When Fan Yanzhong went to Huangyang Academy, he lived in Fuluo County for a few days, and got acquainted with Zhiming Zhenren, and the two talked happily. After learning that Fan Yanzhong was Jiang Anyi's teacher, Zhiming Zhenren taught him the part of meditation and qi cultivation in the Mingyu Heart Sutra.

As for the old man Zhao in Fan Yanzhong's mouth, he was the old man Jiang Anyi met when he first came to Jinshui Village, and he paid him dozens of dollars

Wen Dou Miao money. This old man Zhao is Fan Yanzhong's chess friend, a wise man in the mountains and forests, who once instructed Jiang Anyi in his game, Jiang Anyi remembered that he was one year older than Mr. Fan, should be seventy-five years old, and Jiang Anyi was very happy to learn that Mr. Zhao was still alive.

Looking at Fan Yanzhong's fish basket, two or three small fish three fingers wide, Fan Yanzhong laughed self-deprecatingly: "This fish is always against the old man, if you don't want to be righteous, you can try it." ”

Half an hour later, three big fish about a foot long entered the fish basket, Jiang Anyi carried the fishing rod, followed Fan Yanzhong with the fish basket, and the two went home with a smile. Master Fan first took the fish basket and felt heavy, and said with a smile: "Father has a good harvest today, it seems that the fish also knows that there are guests at home, I asked Chef Zhang to make a braised fish for An Yi to taste." ”

"Chef Zhang's craftsmanship is no match for An Yi, the old man hasn't eaten An Yi's dishes for many years, since he is here, let An Yi cook. Master first, you go and call Old Man Zhao and let this old boy taste my apprentice's craftsmanship. Fan Yanzhong turned his face to Jiang Anyi and said: "Anyi, the dishes are softer, Old Man Zhao's teeth are almost gone, but he can't be compared to a teacher, hahaha." ”

Fan Shixian said with some embarrassment: "Father, An Yi is a guest from afar, how can there be a reason to let the guest cook." ”

Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "Zi said: There is wine and food, Mr. food, and if there is something, the disciple will obey him." To be able to fulfill filial piety to Mr. is a blessing of peace and righteousness. ”

"The children can be taught." Fan Yanzhong stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction.

In the evening, Jiang Anyi sorted out the meridians in Master Fan's body, feeling that he was full of vitality and vitality, like a prime of life. Letting go of Master Fan's wrist, Jiang Anyi praised: "Master Fan's body can fight tigers on the mountain, and when Master Fan celebrates his 80th birthday, Anyi will bring the whole family to congratulate Mr. on his birthday, and when the time comes, he will personally cook a bowl of longevity noodles for Mr. and congratulate Mr. on his long life." ”

Hearing that he was in good health, Fan Yanzhong smiled happily: "Life is rare in seventy years, the old man is seventy and four this year, this life is mainly to teach and educate people, it is a slight achievement, four generations are in the same house, children and grandchildren are angry, and there are no regrets in this life." ”

Jiang Anyi said: "Mr. is the hope of Shilin, "Yunshuitan Words" is valued by readers all over the world, why not leave more words for future generations." ”

Fan Yanzhong was a little moved, and said: "In the past seven or eight years, the old man has walked some places, but he has some feelings, and he has also memorized some things on weekdays to prepare for his posthumous descendants." An Yi's proposal made my heart pound, if God gave the old man another three or two years, he could indeed compile this book. ”

"It is not difficult for the teacher's body to live to be 100 years old." Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "I talked with Senior Brother and found that Senior Brother is knowledgeable and full of scriptures and history, and it is a pity to live in the mountains and wilderness. After the book is completed, the student association will have the students engrave and print, and give it to the world's academies, schools and scholars, and the names of Master Fan and his brother will definitely go down in history and be passed on to future generations. ”

Fan Yanzhong is famous all over the world and is known as a contemporary master, and his name will be recorded in the history books, but Fan Shixian is very likely to be obscure. Fan Shixian was twenty-seven years old and the first, and he traveled to the sea for thirty years, but he did it from the county order of the sixth grade, and now he is at home, and he has been insulated from his career. Fan Yanzhong knew that his eldest son was talented, and he was the most talented among the three sons. Because of his upright temperament, he offended many people, which caused Fan Shixian's career to be unsmooth

, I can't help my eldest son when I study it carefully, and now I have the opportunity to pull my eldest son to make a name for himself in Shilin, Fan Yanzhong naturally won't refuse.

"Then it's decided, the old man knows that you have money, and the engraving will be handed over to you." Fan Yanzhong happily raised the teacup and said, "The old man replaced the wine with tea, and he should be thanked." ”

The courtyard of the Fan family is very large, the master and apprentice sit under the grass pavilion to taste tea on the moon, the cool river breeze of Xiushui sweeps by, blowing the white hair in Fan Yanzhong and blowing Jiang Anyi's green silk, the two important figures in the Shilin are gossiping casually, the scenery and food to the Shilin characters, and finally under the intentional guidance of Jiang Anyi, the topic finally talked about the officialdom.

"Master Fan, the student entered Beijing as an official this time, every time I think about the unfathomable officialdom in Beijing, I feel terrified, I don't know what Master Fan taught me?"

Fan Yanzhong glanced at Jiang Anyi and sneered: "Although the old man has been an official in Beijing for more than ten years, when it comes to the means of being an official, I am afraid it is far inferior to you. ”

Seeing Master Fan blowing his beard and glaring, Jiang Anyi knew that the teacher was still obsessed with the events of the year, and he deserved to be trained if he didn't open a pot. Hurriedly poured tea for Master Fan, and said with a smile: "Master Fan, you are old and well-built, and you know everything, but you just disdain to do things that cater to the Son of Heaven and everyone." The Son of Heaven has mentioned to students several times that Master Fan said that he was impatient, he was quick to do things rather than steady, and he was easy to make mistakes, but he was young and couldn't listen to it at the time, and now he regrets what he said. ”

Fan Yanzhong's expression darkened, he had been a waiter in the palace, and Shi Fangzhen, who was still the crown prince, had read books with him, and he knew the temperament of the Son of Heaven very well. When the Son of Heaven first ascended the throne, he intended to eliminate the accumulated evils, and he said that the urgent reform would make the people's livelihood embarrassed, and asked the Son of Heaven to stop being hasty and patient, and slowly trying to do it, but the result angered the Son of Heaven and punished him, and finally he had to return to his hometown when Fengle was sixty years old in the sixth year. In all fairness, there is nothing wrong with the Son of Heaven being determined to reform and sweep away the accumulated evils, and over the years, Yu Zhijie, Duan Cizong, Jiang Anyi and others have been selected to suppress the family and elect the tax as one, which has achieved the effect of tax growth, national prosperity, and benefits for the people.

Snorted coldly, Fan Yanzhong said, "Don't pat yourself on the back." The old man was full of vigor back then, and he couldn't tolerate things in his eyes, so you don't want to learn from the old man. ”

After taking a sip of tea, Fan Yanzhong tasted back: "The old man is barely good at learning, but he is poor at being an official, far inferior to you." ”

Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly: "The teacher is too humble. I wanted to say a few words of comfort, but I couldn't say anything, the grass pavilion was quiet, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Fan Yanzhong suddenly groaned: "Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why don't you groan and walk slowly." Bamboo cane shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? A cloud of smoke and rain is ...... in his life"

It was Jiang Anyi who pretended to be his father to fix the turmoil back then, and chanted out of Master Fan's mouth, and he was detached and detached.

"The steep spring breeze blows the wine and wakes up, slightly cold, and the mountain is obliquely shining but welcomes. Looking back at the bleak place, there is no wind and rain and no sunshine. Jiang Anyi's voice is harmonious, Cangmai's voice and Qingyue's voice are combined, with a special charm, open-mindedness, calmness, and perseverance.

The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled, and they all raised the teacup in their hands, this cup, respecting and encouraging each other, they were both masters and apprentices and confidants.
