Fang Dunru was very surprised when he heard Lin Jue's bold words. Although this young man has been humble since he entered the door, he has spoken like a river of astonishing words, and this sentence just now is quite loud, but it directly hits the idea in his heart, which makes Fang Dunru have a considerable interest in this young man. What he knew was that this young man was a disciple who was very close to him in his previous life, and he had told him a lot about his own heart. It's just that ten years later, how could Fang Dunru know.

"You want to inherit my mantle? But do you know that you don't just have to brag about becoming a disciple of our Dunru. Why do you think you can inherit my mantle? ”

"What kind of person does Sir think can meet his requirements and be accepted by him?"

Fang Dunru pondered for a moment and said, "The old man will test you, if the old man can satisfy him, why not if the old man accepts you as a disciple?" If you can't satisfy the old man, then you and I have no chance. ”

Lin Jue arched his hand and said, "Okay." Deal. ”

……

Fang Huanqiu's mother and daughter walked from the front yard to the backyard, looking at the newly renovated fence, neatly tidy, and the clean yard where the sewage was discharged, Mrs. Fang couldn't close her mouth with a smile. She already had a good impression of Lin Jue, and she liked it even more now.

"Mother, let's go back to the house and take a look. Daddy's temper may not be good for what he says. Lin Gongzi said that he came to worship his father as a teacher, and it was not a bad thing that he wanted to study in the academy. Even if Daddy doesn't agree, it's not good that he can't get off the stage. Fang Huanqiu said in a low voice.

Mrs. Fang glanced at her daughter, and saw that the look in her daughter's eyes was very strange, and she was quite frightened. I was also young, so I naturally knew what my daughter's expression represented. Could it be that in just half a day, Qiu'er has already had an unusual affection for this Lin Gongzi?

But what the daughter said is right, her husband is a straight and short-tempered man, don't offend Lin Gongzi. Even if you can't agree to his request, you should politely make it clear. That Lin Gongzi is also very sincere, but don't let this young man not get off the stage.

The mother and daughter returned to the hall, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Fang Dunru and Lin Juezheng sitting and standing at each other, as if they were about to turn their faces. Mrs. Fang hurriedly smiled and said, "Why didn't Gongzi Lin sit down and talk?" The person who comes is a guest, and the husband should not be rude. ”

Fang Dunru frowned and said, "Who was rude?" What are you talking about? He wants to be my disciple, and I'm about to take the test for him, and I'm thinking about the topic. Why did you come back, so disturbed, the topic I thought of is gone. ”

Mrs. Fang was speechless, glanced at Fang Dunru and said, "What? The slave family can't even enter the house? ”

Fang Dunru waved his hand and said, "That's it, you are in the house, let's go outside." Lin Jue, the old man will not let you endorse the silent text, those are useless. The best thing in the world to teach real talent and real learning is not how you read the book and memorize it like a stream, but how you can integrate what you have learned into the article and put it under the pen. The old man decided to teach you the proposition essay for the situation, you have to have real skills, and you passed this hurdle. The imperial examination is actually an ability in this area. As soon as the question is proposed, you need to write immediately, and the words are substantial, brilliant, and reasonable. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "When Mr. taught." According to Mr. His. ”

Fang Dunru got up and said: "Okay, you come with me, let's go outside for a walk, I will point out the topic at any time when I see anything, you compose on the spot, you can see the real chapter." ”

Fang Dunru walked to the wall, reached out and took off the two hidden bamboo hats, put one on himself, and handed the other to Lin Jue. Then Shi Shiran walked towards the back door.

"I'll go too." Fang Huanqiu also reached out and took a small hat from the wall.

"Qiu'er! What are you going to do? Fool in on the fun. Mrs. Fang said busily.

"I'm going to see Lin Gongzi's talents. What's so bad? Daddy, can I go? Fang Huanqiu said coquettishly.

Fang Dunru smiled and said, "Come on, as long as Lin Gongzi doesn't mind." ”

"What does Lin Gongzi mind about?" Fang Huanqiu said.

The old man was worried that he was afraid of losing face in front of one more person, especially in front of a girl. Young people are thin-skinned. Fang Dunru said mercilessly.

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Mr. is too worried, of course Miss Fang can come." I'm not a person who is afraid of losing face. ”

……

In the afternoon, it's the hottest time of the day. Miles away, a blue-rock cliff rises tall. The cliff is lush and green, and the blue sky and white clouds are above the green trees, and the scenery is very distant and majestic. Two or three miles from the small courtyard of the Fang family to the cliff is the natural back garden. The grass is green, the flowers and trees are luxuriant, and it is quiet and peaceful.

Fang Dunru, Lin Jue, and Fang Huanqiu walked on the grass leading to the bottom of the cliff with their hats on their heads. Fang Dunru walked slowly with his hands in his hands, Lin Jue and Fang Huanqiu followed behind slowly, and did not speak, only followed Fang Dunru to stop and go.

The three of them walked until they reached the small pool on the west side of the cliff, and then stopped. This small pond is a pond with a radius of dozens of paces formed by the alluvial flow of water from the mountain cliff. The small pool is full of lotus leaves, as big as a fan, or as small as green buds, and there are many pink lotus flowers in full bloom among the green. Some of them are like arrows, and the top of the green buds has a bright red, which is very gratifying.

Fang Dunru stood by the waterhole and looked at the pond with a smile on his face, he liked lotus flowers, and this lotus flower was also planted by him. At first it was just a small piece. For more than ten years, it has spread all over the pond. It's a great sight to see every summer, and it's also his favorite place to visit.

"Daddy. Didn't you say that you were going to take the test for Childe Kaolin? If you don't ask questions for half a day, is it an untitled question? Fang Huanqiu looked very cute and cute with a small bamboo hat. She held a lotus leaf in her hand and asked her father with a smile.

"What's an untitled question? I told you not to read those idle books, and your mind is full of unrealistic thoughts. Fang Dunru scolded.

Fang Huanqiu looked at the lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the hall, and suddenly said, "How about it inconvenient to use this lotus as the theme?" Isn't it the right time? It's just a little harder. In ancient and modern times, there are too many poems about lotus flowers, and there are too many good ones. Zhuyu is in front, and Lin Gongzi is afraid that he will suffer a loss. ”

Fang Dunru stroked his beard and nodded: "Qiu'er's topic is good. It's not easy, but it's not difficult. As for whether or not you can write something new, that's where people come in. Lin Jue, let's take lotus as the theme, poetry and articles are okay. ”

Lin Jue arched his hand and said, "Obey." ”

Lin Jue looked at the lotus pond and thought in his mind. But seeing Fang Huanqiu standing next to the lotus pond, wearing a simple dress, she was beautiful and natural, like a clear water hibiscus, and her temperament was outstanding. This situation instantly reminded Lin Jue of an article about lotus flowers. So he smiled and turned his head.

"Got it?" Fang Dunru said in surprise.

"In the next Bucai, there is indeed an article. Please also ask for advice. ”

"Oh?" Fang Dunru was surprised, he thought it was a poem or a word, but Lin Jue said it was an article. The poems are short, have a rhythm to follow, and can be written in a period of time, which is nothing more than a question of good and bad. But the article is different, the length is long and the topic of the transition is also intended. It's not difficult to take a poem, but I've never heard of an article.

However, Lin Jue has already begun to recite: "The flowers of land, water, grass and trees are very lovely." Jin Tao Yuanming loves chrysanthemum alone. Since Li Tanglai, the world loves peonies very much. To love the lotus out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight through the outside, not vines and branches, fragrant far and clear, pavilion net planting, can be seen from a distance and can not be blasphemed. ”

Fang Dunru was dumbfounded, and unconsciously shouted: "Okay!" It's a good one out of the mud but not stained, and the ripples are clear but not demonic. Wonderful sentence, wonderful! ”

Fang Huanqiu stood on the bluestone by the pond below, his eyes full of brilliance. Jiao Sheng sneered: "Daddy, don't interrupt his train of thought." ”

Fang Dunru hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, you continue." ”

Lin Jue laughed secretly in his heart, this prose was memorized in junior high school, and he couldn't stop his own thoughts even if he inserted 10,000 sentences. At the moment, he continued to recite: "It is called a chrysanthemum, and the one who is a recluse of flowers; Peony, the rich and noble of flowers; Lotus, the gentleman of flowers. Belch! The love of chrysanthemum is rarely heard after pottery; The love of the lotus, who is the same giver; The love of peony should be everyone. ”

"Good!" Fang Dunru slapped vigorously and laughed loudly: "What a fellow giver, what a gentleman among flowers." Good article, good article. It is both a flower and a person, a song of things, and the idea is lonely and high, extraordinary. Big kudos. ”

Fang Huanqiu said coquettishly again: "Daddy, you interrupted his train of thought again." ”

Fang Dunru smiled and said, "If my guess is correct, the article should end here." ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Exactly, it's shorter, but it's really over." ”

Fang Dunru smiled: "It's not short, it's not short, it's just the end." The meaning of this expression has been exhausted, and then there is the dog's tail and the mink painting snake is enough. Good article. The old man had to admire. ”

Lin Jue arched his hand and said: "Thank you Mr. for the compliment, this article was actually written by Mr. In the next feeling, the gentleman is like this lotus. Zheng Zheng gentleman, out of the mud but not stained, outstanding, not with the same stream. ”

Fang Dunru laughed, stroked his beard and looked at Lin Jue and said, "The old man knows that you are flattering me, but this kind of flattery is really difficult for the old man to refuse." You know the old man's heart very well, which makes me think you seem to have some other purpose. But even if you have any other purpose, based on your article, the old man can conclude that you are not an evil person. The old man accepts your flattery. ”

"Dad, what did you say? How can anyone talk like that? Fang Huanqiu said angrily again.

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Is Mr. Ran willing to accept me as a disciple and teach me?" Or do you need to test me again? ”

Fang Dunru shook his head and said, "No need, this article is enough." I will accept you as a disciple. You can also come to the academy to study. However, our Dunru has said that he will no longer accept disciples, so you don't have to make a noise. All you need to do is study at the academy, and you can come and talk to me when you have free time. ”
