Chapter 563: You can become my disciple, but you need to pay the money first
"You don't want to tell it directly.
There are many people in the capital who want to become the Taifu's disciples.
Since you're unwilling to pay, I'll go find someone else." Wen Yan turned around and left with a determined look.
"Why are you in such a hurry? We can discuss it!" Huo Yaoxing persuaded while analyzing the pros and cons in his mind.
He has been finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with his studies recently.
Things that I could remember after reading them three or four times before, now require a lot of effort to remember.
In fact, even if he became Ji Shanchang's disciple, he still had no confidence that he could pass the imperial examination.
The Prince's Tutor came from a prominent family and had extensive knowledge.
He was self-disciplined and respectful, highly respected, had extensive connections, and was highly regarded by the emperor and the crown prince.
If I take him as my master and coax him into doing my bidding, I can use his family background and connections for my own benefit.
Even if he did not perform well in the imperial examination, he could still be recommended by the Grand Tutor to serve as an official in the court.
As long as he has the opportunity to serve in front of the emperor, he will surely win the emperor's favor.
and.
Many sons of noble families in the capital tried their best to persuade the Grand Tutor to accept them as his disciples.
Anyway, there is no hope for Principal Ji.
Now that there was a great opportunity before him, he couldn't miss it.
He immediately agreed: "Okay, it's just ten thousand taels, I'll give it to you.
But I left in a hurry today and didn't bring that much silver. Please allow me two days to go back and prepare it."
"Well then." Wen Yan snorted lightly, "Huo Yaoxing, you must remember that it was me who paved the way for you to become a disciple of a famous teacher. When you become successful in the future, don't forget who paved the way for you.
If you dare to betray me, I will beat you till your teeth are all gone, humph!"
Wen Yan thought of something and said, "When you have the money ready, just send me a message.
But you, a son of a noble family, wouldn't try to fool me with fake banknotes, would you? "
After Wen Yan finished speaking, she snorted, glanced at him, and turned away.
After Wen Yan left, Huo Yaoxing's expression suddenly changed.
He really wanted to fool Wen Yan with fake banknotes.
But he didn't expect Wen Yan to be so smart, he definitely couldn't fool her.
It seems that he and his mother will have to bleed heavily this time.
Within two days, Huo Yaoxing sent a letter to Wen Yan, saying that he had already prepared the silver.
Wen Yan handed the letter to Ying Zhilin: "Ask the eldest brother when it's convenient, and I'll bring people to your house to become your disciple."
"Let's go tomorrow." Even if the eldest brother is not free, he must be free.
Let’s deal with Huo Yaoxing as soon as possible, so that Yanyan won’t have to think about the Huo family every day because of this matter.
"Xiao Linlin, you are so nice." Wen Yan held his face and kissed him on the cheek.
The next day.
At the gate of Taifu Mansion.
Huo Yaoxing paced back and forth at the door anxiously, looking at the alley entrance from time to time.
Huo Yaoxing felt uneasy as hell whenever he didn't see Wen Yan.
He said irritably, “Why hasn’t it arrived yet?
Could it be that Wen Yan wants to go back on his word?
She wouldn't be trying to use this to exchange for more money from others, would she? "
His servant lowered his head and dared not breathe.
Just then.
A carriage slowly drove into the alley.
Huo Yaoxing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the woman driving the carriage was Yuesheng, Wen Yan's maid.
As soon as the carriage stopped in front of the Taifu Mansion, Huo Yaoxing rushed over.
He opened the curtain, glared at Wen Yan, and shouted angrily:
"Why are you here just now? Do you know that I have been waiting for you for half an hour?"
Wen Yan glanced at him and said, "Why are you so anxious? The master's home is right here, and he can't run away."
Huo Yaoxing gritted his teeth and said, "I'll tolerate her for a while longer."
He urged: "Since we are here, let's go in quickly."
Wen Yan stretched out her hand towards him: "Where's the silver?"
Huo Yaoxing originally thought that he could just deny paying the money, but he didn't expect Wen Yan to be obsessed with money and wouldn't let go of the silver.
He fished out a banknote from his pocket and threw it onto the carriage. "Here you go. It's true that bad company breeds badness. How long have you been with Ying? And yet you've become so mercenary, with only money in your eyes."
Wen Yan rolled her eyes.
If I don’t want to talk to you about money, should I talk about feelings?
Yuesheng picked up the banknote and handed it to Wen Yan.
Wen Yan put the banknotes into her bag, then jumped off the carriage and gave Huo Yaoxing a look.
Huo Yaoxing frowned and asked, "Do you have a cramp in your eye?"
Wen Yan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Go knock on the door. Do you want me to go?"
Huo Yaoxing clenched his fists and closed his eyes tightly: "Just wait for me."
Huo Yaoxing turned around and kicked the servant: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go, do you really want me, your master, to go?"
"Yes!" The servant hurried over and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door of the Taifu Mansion opened a crack, and half a person poked his head out: "Who are you looking for?"
Wen Yan immediately stepped forward and said, "My name is Liu Wen Yan, and I'm bringing someone here to become your disciple."
"Wait a moment, I need to make an announcement first."
Wen Yan nodded at him: "Thank you."
After a while, the doorman came back.
He was followed by a servant who led them to the main hall of the Taifu Mansion.
"Please wait a moment, my master will be here soon."
The servant had tea and snacks brought in, then stood outside the door waiting.
After waiting for a while, a middle-aged man in his forties walked in with a square step.
Wen Yan quickly stood up and saluted him: "Master Taifu."
Seeing this, Huo Yaoxing also quickly stood up and saluted.
The Grand Tutor waved his hand: "You all sit down."
Wen Yan did not sit down, but introduced herself: "I am Liu Wen Yan, and this is Huo Yaoxing, the prince of the Marquis of Jinping Mansion.
Although he came from a noble family, he was studious and quick-witted, a rare talent.
I brought him here today precisely to become your disciple."
After Wen Yan finished speaking, he winked at Huo Yaoxing.
Huo Yaoxing hurried forward to introduce himself.
The Grand Tutor picked up the teacup and drank tea, listening to him speak with his ears, while his peripheral vision was focused on Wen Yan.
Jianwenyan is pretty but not outstanding, with well-mannered manners and a graceful attitude.
My first impression of Wen Yan was very good.
After Huo Yaoxing finished speaking, he waited for the tutor to speak.
The Grand Tutor slowly finished his tea, put down the cup, and said seriously, "If you want to be my apprentice, you must pass the test."
"I will rely on the Master Taifu to test me."
The Grand Tutor really gave him a lot of questions to test him.
Some are simple, some are tricky.
Huo Yaoxing answered them one by one.
After asking more than a dozen questions, the tutor's brows were furrowed and then relaxed.
He lowered his eyes and thought carefully, as if he had finally made up his mind. Then he said to Huo Yaoxing, "I had no intention of accepting a disciple, but Liu girl came to me and begged me with all her sincerity, so I reluctantly made an exception.
Huo Yaoxing. If you can study with me with peace of mind, I will accept you as my disciple and train you wholeheartedly.
Studying with me is very hard. If you can’t handle the hardship, it’s better to give up as soon as possible.”
How could Huo Yaoxing give up the opportunity he had finally obtained?
He decisively performed the six rituals of apprenticeship, picked up the teacup, and knelt before the Grand Tutor: "Master, please accept my disciple's greeting."
The tutor's eyes twitched, and he smiled a little slowly before taking the teacup.
He took a small sip and said to Huo Yaoxing, "From now on, you will be my closed disciple."
Huo Yaoxing didn't expect that becoming a disciple would be so smooth, he was extremely happy.
He flatters the Taifu in various ways.
The Grand Tutor had probably never heard such direct flattery before, and a hint of discomfort appeared on his face.
