"You are Sun Yue. In the hall of Liufu, wicker sat upright in all directions, out of "looked down at a child standing in the hall, dressed plainly, his face was slightly dark, and there were two pieces of frozen spring red on his cheeks, and he was lowering his head at the moment. Bow down. Standing there in a proper manner, it doesn't look too remarkable.

"Yes, sir! The little one's voice trembled a little, and his head lowered a little, and it was obvious that he was a little nervous.

"How old are you this year?" Liu Yiyi lowered his voice as much as possible to make his voice softer, after all, this was the first apprentice he had selected, so he must not scare him.

"Mr. Hui, the student is nine years old this year." Hearing the object of one's admiration speak to oneself so closely, both in voice and in an imaginably gentle temper. Sun Yue's heartstrings, which had been tightening, suddenly relaxed a lot, and when he replied, he looked up curiously and peeked upward. Seeing that Liu Yiyi was looking at himself with a smile, Xiao Sui lowered his head quickly and his face was slightly red, and his little liver was beating quickly and nervously.

"What a pair of aura-like eyes!" Seeing the whole picture of this little apprentice for the first time, Liu Yiyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder people say that eyes are the windows of the soul, and they originally looked quite ordinary. Children, with these smart and clear eyes. The whole person seems to be a lot more agile and lively.

"Where did you study before? How many years have it been? Although many questions have been reported by Chen Mingze, Liu Yiyi still wants to hear the little guy's own answers.

"In the private villa in the village, it has been three years since I was six years old." Although nervous in my heart. However, Sun Yue still insisted on answering Liu Yiyi's question.

"What did you learn in the private mat, but do you remember it?" Liu Yiyi asked again.

"I started learning "Thousand Character Text" and "Analects", and last year and this year, I learned "Three Character Classic" and "Hanyu Pinyin". Sun Yue answered them one by one, and his words gradually became smoother.

"Oh? So you haven't studied arithmetic? Liu Yiyi straightened up and asked Sun Yue with interest, "Then how did you calculate the answer to the first set of test questions today?" ”

At this time, Sun Yue was completely calm, and replied calmly: "Students often go to the city with their father to sell vegetables, and their father is not clear when he sees some accounts. is often teased by others, and the students are resentful. I specially asked a private gentleman for some arithmetic knowledge to better understand. ”

"Hehe, you have filial piety!" Without systematic study, you can answer all the questions correctly within the specified time, but this kid is very good, Liu Yiyi praised lightly, nodded lightly to Chen Mingze, who was waiting beside him, with a smile on his face, and said: "Okay, since you have done the right question and passed the exam, I Liu Yiyi will break my word, from today on, you will be my Liu Yiyi's disciple, serve tea!" ”

"Yes, master!" Finally got the answer he had always wanted, Sun Yue was a little excited, reached out to take the tea bowl handed by Steward Chen, knelt on the ground, faced Liu Yiyi, and raised the tea over the top with both hands. Gong Sheng said: "Master, please use tea!" ”

"Hahaha, good, get up!" took a sip of the tea bowl, and put the tea bowl on the table next to him, Liu Yiyi laughed and stretched out his fist to help Sun Yue up, and then raised his hand and pointed to Luo Bingwang, who was sitting on the right side, and said: "This is your senior brother Luo Bingwang, the first disciple of the teacher, you can also come forward to salute." ”

"Yes, master!" Sun Yue got up in response, listened to Liu Yiyi's instructions, walked directly to King Luobin, and bent down to salute: Little brother Sun Yue. I've seen Senior Brother Li! ”

"Senior Brother Sun is polite!" Luo Bingwang also got up and returned the salute, because the other party was just a thing. Children who are less than ten years old, so there are not many greetings, and after the ceremony, they sit back in their original seats.

"Well, okay, Ming Ze, you take Yue'er to the backyard to meet the old lady and them, and then send him home first" Waving his hand at Chen Mingze, Liu Yiyi commanded softly: "Remember to be polite when you arrive at Yue'er's house, tell Yue'er's parents to make it clear, let Yue'er come to the house from tomorrow, and read with Xiaohui." ”

"Yes, young master, Ming Ze wrote it down." In response, Chen Ming glanced at Sun Yue with some envy, and then respectfully bent over and stretched out his hand to Sun Yue and asked, "Young Master Sun, please come with the villain."

"Huh?" A sentence of Young Master Sun made Sun Yue a little stupid, thinking that he was the son of a vegetable farmer. How could he ever be called by someone like this young master? Fortunately, although Sun Yue is not old, he is also smart. Knowing that he was now the apprentice of the Sanyuan Liu family, his identity was different from the past, so he quickly reacted, and then politely handed over to Chen Mingze and said: "In this way, there is Lao Chen in charge!" ”

"Smart, calm, clever, congratulations to the master for accepting another good apprentice!" Seeing that the little junior brother was not a little timid, he was old and Chen Ming stepped away from the tip of the stride Su Binggui smiled happily and said hello to Liu Yi. Not. Brother, the word "again", expresses his self-confidence, pride and extraordinary cheekiness.

"Hehe, you kid, your skin is getting thicker and thicker." glanced at his eldest apprentice angrily, Liu Yiyi waved his hand and ordered someone to remove the new tea, and then said to King Libin: "Ah Gou, I have been on an errand in the palace for a while." Are you still used to it? ”

"Master Lao's Hang-up" King Qibin replied: "The master laid the foundation in advance, and the two royal highnesses King Jin and Princess Jinyang are very well-behaved, and they have learned calligraphy well, which saves students a lot of effort." ”

After speaking, Luo Bingwang paused lightly and said, "Also, the students came over today, in addition to saying hello to the master, there is also for the two of them, I came to remind the master in advance." So that the master can prepare in advance, so as not to feel surprised and lose his dignity when he gets it. ”

"Oh?" Liu Yiyi took a cup and tasted it, then looked up at King Libin, and asked softly in a hurry: "Aren't these two little guys going to come tomorrow to take the exam for the teacher?" ”

"It turns out that the master has expected it, and the student admires it! Xiao slapped the master on the back, and King Bingbin chuckled and said, "I know that the master recruits apprentices, and there is also a threshold for the exam." So in the past two days, the students have not done anything else, but just listened to the instructions of the queen. Teach King Jin and Princess Jinyang the two little highnesses the arithmetic and "brain teaser." coping methods. ”

"I'm a student of the teacher, and although I don't learn much from the teacher, I know a little better than other gentlemen in the palace, otherwise how could this kind of errand be handed over to a student like a gentleman with no qualifications?" Luo Bingwang also learned from Liu Yiyi's example. Raise your glass and drink, "So, don't think about it." Students can also guess that the queen mother's move. It must be a test for the master to choose an apprentice. ”

"There hasn't been any movement for the past two days. Thinking about this third day, the queen will definitely make a move. After speaking, King Libin glanced at his master with admiration, he could think of the queen's intentions, because he had been teaching the two little highnesses in the palace to learn arithmetic and brain teasers in the past two days, as long as people with a little brains were not difficult to see the purpose.

But how did he guess it, master? From the indifferent expression on Fang Cai Liu's face. King Luo Bin could see that the master did not feel even the slightest surprise about the two little princes coming to Liufu to seek a teacher, obviously, he had expected it early in the morning.

Therefore, while admiring the master's clever calculation, Luo Binjiang couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and he was not in the palace. Second, there is no exact source, how did the little master expect the emperor and the queen to make their decision?

"The queen has returned to the palace?" Without dwelling on this issue, Liu Yiyi changed the topic with a light smile and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince's injury, is it already healed?" ”

"Not yet, I've heard that the wound is a little festering. The swelling and swelling are repeated non-stop, compared to two days ago. There is no obvious improvement, the queen mother has been staying there, she is a student, and she has been teaching the two little highnesses in the East Palace for the past few days.

"There is a little bit of confusion among the students, and I hope that the master can solve the students' doubts." After answering the master's question, Luo Bingwang glanced up at Liu Yiyi with some confusion, and then asked, "On medical skills." The master is much more clever than those imperial doctors in the palace, especially the sword injury, in Chang'an City, and even in the entire Tang Dynasty, the master can be said to be second to none. ”

"When it comes to human affection, the master has saved the queen once, and has saved His Royal Highness the Prince twice, some time ago, the king of Qi rebelled, and many ministers of the pillar country in Chang'an City were poisoned one after another, and it was the master who saved them in danger, and the merit was not small. King Luobin frowned slightly, and said softly: "However, why is it that this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was seriously injured in assassination, except for the first day that he was treated by the master. After that, it didn't matter whether the prince's injuries worsened or not. The emperor and the queen mother no longer mention the matter of inviting the master? ”

Isn't that counterintuitive? As a father, mother, especially the eldest grandson and little queen, the love for the prince can be said to be almost any prince and princess in the palace, these days in the East Palace Luo Bin King has seen in his eyes, serving tea and water, feeding and drinking, almost never left the prince's bedroom, so tight, worried about his son's injury, there is no reason to put the best doctor without it. And to find those doctors who are not too sure at all?

King Bing is not stupid, so unreasonable. How could even abnormal behavior not be taken to heart, especially, this is very likely to be a major matter related to the safety of his master, so. Taking advantage of today's opportunity, he directly asked Liu Yiyi.
