The second day.

Mr. Dong Lai, who had not taken the teacup from his apprentice yesterday and left it on the table, stood outside the door with a guilty conscience, eagerly waiting for his apprentice.

Cui Xian should have gotten up, but he hasn't left the house yet.

Standing in the alley, I could vaguely hear an old woman from the Cui family crying and wailing, "It's too difficult."

What is too difficult? Is life too difficult?

My good disciple's family must be very poor.

No, I must accept a disciple as soon as possible and take good care of him!

At this time.

The gate of the Cui family courtyard opened, and the brothers Cui Xian and Cui Yu walked out.

Cui Xian brought his brother and bowed respectfully to Mr. Dong Lai: "Old sir, I will take you to the Pei clan school, please come in."

Mr. Donglai nodded in greeting.

Then, the three of them walked out of Zhongjing Lane one after another.

The two younger brothers of the Cui family are in front.

Mr. Donglai is behind.

There was no communication between the two parties throughout the process.

Mr. Dong Lai was very embarrassed and wanted to break the silence several times, but he didn't know what to say.

Ask yourself, if he offered tea to someone and the other person didn't drink it and just put the tea on the table, he would definitely be embarrassed.

at the same time.

Cui Xian, who was walking in front, secretly glanced at Mr. Dong Lai from the side and behind him, and his expression became more and more suspicious.

Why did he feel that this old man was always looking at him?

But that doesn't make sense.

That tea yesterday... um, I'm speechless when I talk about Cui Xian.

So the tea was drunk, but not yet drunk!

This question is quite critical.

Cui Xian is not an arrogant person, nor is he too embarrassed to take the initiative to become a disciple.

But you can't just go to the door and ask for help on this matter. You have to send out some signals, or receive some signals.

As the saying goes: Hearing the music and knowing the elegance of it.

The ancients paid the most attention to this, especially when the other party was a famous scholar with a great background.

Make eye contact first.

I want you to understand my tacit understanding.

I need to understand your point.

Then, wait for a natural and perfect opportunity to create a great story between master and apprentice.

As for how to "look into each other's eyes"?

There is really no better place than the school!

Therefore, Cui Xian invited Mr. Donglai to teach at the Pei clan school through Mr. Wu Qinglan.

Today, Pei Jian and others knew that Brother Xian was going to bring Mr. Donglai to the clan school, so they went to the school to wait.

In order to welcome the old gentleman, the entire school was cleaned very cleanly.

The students are looking forward to it.

Wu Qinglan was even there to greet them outside the clan school. When he saw Mr. Donglai, he bowed excitedly and said, "I respectfully welcome you. The Pei clan school is so lucky to have your guidance."

"Sir, please follow me inside!"

This is not an exaggeration.

It is indeed a blessing for students to have the opportunity to be taught by famous scholars.

But these students were too young after all, even though they heard the teacher repeatedly emphasize how great Mr. Dong Lai was.

They were also very confused when they heard it, and what they were most curious about was: What does this powerful old man look like?

Under the curious gaze of Pei Jian and others.

Mr. Dong Lai walked into the classroom and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am Dong Lai. How about my ordinary appearance? Does it disappoint you?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Pei Jian bravely laughed and said, "No, no, the old man is very handsome!"

Mr. Dong Lai laughed heartily when he heard this. He looked at Pei Jian who was speaking, but finally his eyes fell on Cui Xian who was next to Pei Jian.

Cui Xian glanced back at him.

The two sides' eyes met briefly, and then they looked away as if nothing had happened.

In the classroom, a group of primary school students laughed even more happily.

Wu Qinglan stood at the back of the classroom and laughed along with everyone else, but in his heart he thought expressionlessly: Pei Jian, you are disrespectful to your teacher, so you will be deducted one point.

After the laughter was over, Mr. Dong Lai asked, "I have a question here that I need you to answer. Well, it's a very difficult question."

The classroom suddenly became tense.

The next moment, Mr. Dong Lai smiled and asked, "Who knows how to build a house? What is the first step?"

Oh!

What kind of question is this!

It’s all in vain!

This question touched upon Li Heyu's knowledge area. He smiled and said confidently, "Old sir, the first step in building a house is definitely to lay the foundation! Then erect the beams and columns, then lay the bricks and tiles, and finally carve the doors and windows."

Mr. Donglai praised with a smile. He looked at Li Heyu, and then his eyes fell on Cui Xian.

Cui Xian looked back at him again.

I finally have a rough idea in my mind.

Mr. Dong Lai retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "This young student answered very well. He must have seen houses being built many times. Like you, I am also very interested in building houses."

"But you, Master Wu, invited me here so that I can give lectures. This is really boring."

"In fact, I would like to take you to build a house together."

Everyone in the classroom was having fun.

Some students even started to make a fuss: Let’s go build a house!

Of course Pei Jian didn't dare to agree with this. He took a look at the few reward tickets in his book box and felt that some of them were nonsense and had prices secretly marked on them.

Mr. Donglai did not agree to the students' request to build a house, and said with a smile: "No problem. We can also build a house in the classroom."

"I know you won't believe it, but I have to tell you that it can really be done."

"Building a house is like writing an eight-part essay. The order and steps are similar. However, building a house requires laying the foundation, erecting beams and columns, laying bricks and tiles, and carving doors and windows."

"But when writing an eight-part essay, you must first break the topic, then continue the topic, and then start the lecture, and finally write four parts in eight parts. You see, isn't it the same step as building a house?"
