Chapter 296 Rong Beishan Becomes a Disciple



Early in the morning of the second day, the Rong family became lively. Although everything was almost ready last night, Mr. Rong and Mrs. Rong still got up early. They attached great importance to this apprenticeship.

Today is a day off, and Master Rong learned everything in advance. After preparing the apprenticeship gift, Master Rong calculated the time before going there, for fear of affecting the Han family.

The Rong family was very sincere, and after breakfast, Master Rong personally took Rong Beishan to the Han Mansion. Because the gift of becoming a disciple was very grand, many people followed along the way to inquire and join in the fun.

So when Master Rong brought Rong Beishan to the Han Mansion, there were already a lot of people following them who were watching the fun.

"Mr. Rong, why did you bring so many gifts to the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion?" asked a gossipy spectator.

"Yes, Master Rong, I heard that our top scholar is an honest official and will not accept your gift. You'd better take it back quickly." Crowd No. 2 was worried about Master Rong.

"You all have misunderstood. I, Rong, am not here today to give gifts to Lord Han, but to bring my son to become his disciple." Master Rong happily explained to everyone the reason why he came to the Han Mansion.

"Become a disciple? I haven't heard that our Lord Han is going to accept a disciple. Did you get it wrong?" Everyone was very confused.

"Mr. Rong also got the news occasionally, so I brought my son here to give it a try. If he is lucky enough to catch the eye of Lord Han, it will be a blessing for my son." Mr. Rong did not say it too firmly. If Han Xu refused to accept him, it would be a bad ending.

"Master Rong is right. Lord Han is the number one scholar chosen by the emperor. He must be a very talented person." The onlookers felt that it was an infinite honor to be personally guided by the number one scholar.

Although the Rong family is the richest family in the capital, they are also a family of merchants. Although the Great Saint Dynasty does not discriminate against doing business, the status of businessmen is far lower than that of those who hold official positions.

While Master Rong was chatting with a few people, someone came out to respond to the visiting card that had just been handed in.

"Master Rong, Master Rong, my master invites you!" The housekeeper politely invited the father and son of the Rong family in. The onlookers were in an uproar.

"I didn't expect Lord Han to be so polite to Master Rong. Judging from the attitude of the housekeeper, it seems very likely that he will be able to become Rong's disciple."

"Even if I fail to become your disciple, it would be an infinite honor to receive even a little guidance from Master Han!"

"Let's wait here at the door and see if Master Rong and Young Master Rong can succeed in becoming disciples today."

"I'll go with you. My cousin's son also wants to become your disciple. I wonder if Master Han is willing to accept another disciple."

"What are you dreaming about? The Rong family is the richest family in Beijing, and the son-in-law of the Rong family is the Second Master Mu of the General's Mansion."

"I also heard that Lord Han and Mr. Rong's grandson, our third place winner, are very close. I think Mr. Rong has a high chance of becoming a disciple today."

"Yes, Lord Han's wife is the niece of the mistress of the general's mansion. With this relationship, I think Lord Han is willing."

"The key is that Young Master Narong is also a very capable person. He studies at Qingshan Academy and always gets A grades in every exam. He is often praised by the teacher."

"How do you know so much?"

"My aunt's youngest son is studying at Qingshan Academy, and happens to be in the same class as Young Master Rong."

......

During dinner yesterday, Song Yanran told Han Xu and her mother-in-law about this matter. When they heard that it was Murong Shu's suggestion, Han Xu and his wife agreed immediately.

"Husband, mother, don't you want to ask why?" Song Yanran asked jokingly when she saw the two of them agreed so readily.

"We are relatives, and my cousin thinks it is suitable, so it is suitable." Han Xu felt that it was not difficult to take care of a child.

"Xu'er is right. If Shu'er trusts Xu'er, then Xu'er must be suitable. The Rong family helped me before, and then Xu'er was beaten. The Rong family sent me so many precious medicinal materials. It's not a big deal to teach a child."

Madam Han is a grateful person and has long wanted to repay the Rong family, but unfortunately she never had the chance. Now that she has this opportunity, she will certainly not miss it.

"Mom is right." Han Xu picked up some food for Song Yanran and Mrs. Han, and the family of three was very happy.

So this morning, Madam Han got up early to make arrangements.

When Master Rong and Rong Beishan came in, Madam Han received them with the highest etiquette.

"Lord Han, Madam Han, the old lady is well!" Master Rong and Han Beishan saluted.

"Master Rong, please come in and sit down. There's no need for all these empty formalities. This is the young master, right? You can tell at first glance that he's a good kid." Madam Han was very enthusiastic.

"Beishan meets the old lady, Lord Han, and Madam Han." Rong Beishan and Song Yanran knew each other.

"We are all family, why are you still so polite? Please take a seat. Your sister Shu'er asked your husband for help yesterday, and he has agreed."

Song Yanran didn't beat around the bush and directly exposed Murong Shu. There was no need to hide what Shu'er had done.

"Mr. Han, are you really willing to teach students?" Rong Beishan was very excited and asked Han Xu with anticipation.

He and Master Rong knew that it was Murong Shu's face, but they were afraid that Han Xu would force it, so they wanted to ask clearly in person.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Rong. Han Xu will do his best!" Han Xu's words gave Grandpa Rong enough face.

"Why don't you thank Lord Han quickly?" Master Rong was very moved and quickly asked his son to thank Han Xu.

"Since you all have no objections, let's have a cup of apprenticeship tea and the matter will be settled." Madam Han thought simply, they were all family, so she just needed to teach them well in the future.

"Madam Han, no!" Master Rong hurriedly stopped Madam Han.

"Master Rong, do you have anything else to say?" Madam Han thought something was wrong.

"Becoming a disciple is a big deal, especially when a student is paying homage to a teacher. Scholars take it even more seriously. I have made preparations to leave today." The Rong family was very well prepared.

Madam Han didn't know the seriousness of the matter yet, so she smiled and said, "Then let's do as Master Rong said."

"I'd like to trouble the butler to ask someone to help carry the things in." The apprenticeship gift he brought just now was still in the carriage, and Master Rong asked the butler to help.

When the housekeeper brought people to carry the things up, not only Madam Han was stunned, but even Han Xu and Song Yanran were stunned. This was not about becoming a disciple, it was clearly about moving the Rong Mansion here.

Finally, when everyone was confused, Master Rong asked Rong Beishan to present the gifts one by one. Each gift had a name, and the things the Rong family brought out were very precious. Even Madam Han and Song Yanran received gifts.

In the end, all the necessary etiquette was followed and Rong Beishan became Han Xu's student, and the only student in his life. Later, Rong Beishan entered the officialdom, and what Han Xu taught him benefited him for the rest of his life.

After the apprenticeship, Murong Shu and Yueyue arrived at the Han Mansion at the right time.
