Chapter 382 Unexpected
"Actually, you don't have to answer now. This is not a trivial matter after all. You still have to ask your parents first. After you ask, give me an answer!"
As Qian Chongen said this, he asked Jiang Youzhen to take out the article assigned yesterday, feeling a little embarrassed to change the subject.
Jiang Youzhen smiled. To be fair, Qian Chongen treated her very well.
Not only did he care about her studies, but he also gave her advice on daily matters and was very considerate of her.
For Jiang Youzhen, if his mentor was in a high position with great power, he would certainly be able to avoid detours and get more help, but relatively speaking, there would be many constraints and he would not be able to do things as he wished.
If it was Qian Chongen, she wouldn't feel any regret. After entering the government, it's not impossible to rely on yourself, just a few more years.
"This is what the students wanted!" Jiang Youzhen bowed deeply.
"I have always had you teach me in person, but I always felt that it was not right. But I don't want to ask you. Becoming a disciple requires mutual consent. I dare not bring it up rashly, for fear that you will find it abrupt."
"Oh? So you also want to become my disciple?" Qian Chongen was very happy to hear that.
"Yes! I am willing to be your disciple!" Jiang Youzhen said as he lifted the hem of his robe, knelt on the ground and bowed deeply.
"Okay, okay!" Qian Chongen stepped forward and helped her up.
There were some moisture in his eyes and he felt a lot of emotions in his heart.
"Since you are so interested, let's find an auspicious day, invite a few witnesses, and hold the apprenticeship ceremony. There is no need to invite too many people, just invite those close to you to congratulate us!"
Qian Chongen was very happy and for the first time he became incoherent.
"Oh! By the way, did you ask your parents? I forgot!"
Qian Chongen suddenly thought that he seemed to be happy too early, and had made the decision without even asking the other person's parents.
"My parents are farmers, and they don't have much knowledge. But they have always respected scholars. If they knew that I want to become your disciple, they would definitely not object. Tomorrow I will write a letter and send it home to inform my parents and invite them to attend the ceremony."
Jiang Fugui and the others didn't understand these things. Jiang Youzhen had always been the one in charge of the family, so naturally there was no need to ask more questions.
"Okay!" Qian Chongen's thousands of words turned into just one word.
The matter was settled, and he would focus more on teaching Jiang Youzhen from now on.
"I have seen you practice these two types of calligraphy, so I have specially visited many famous teachers and obtained their calligraphy for you to copy! Among them are calligraphy by ancient masters, which are very rare. You should practice well."
Qian Chongen took out a stack of calligraphy works and placed them in front of Jiang Youzhen, telling him the origins of the calligraphy works in detail.
"Although your regular script is good, scholars still like to show off their knowledge and enrich themselves. The best way to cultivate one's character is to practice calligraphy. It will be beneficial for you to practice a few more."
"Yes, thank you, teacher!" Jiang Youzhen was also very happy. There are currently only two fonts rewarded by the system. The first one, regular script, is already a small success. It will be very difficult to improve it later, and it is probably impossible to achieve full success in a short period of time.
The other type is official script, which she has just started to learn, and her writing is just form without spirit.
Jiang Youzhen discovered that the first post was written in official script, so he flipped through it with great interest.
Qian Chongen felt very happy when he saw Jiang Youzhen's overjoyed expression.
In fact, even if Jiang Youzhen didn't want to be his teacher, he would not be stingy in giving these things. He cherishes talent and doesn't want talented young people to be buried.
After returning home from the provincial school, Jiang Youzhen planned to go to the study to copy, she couldn't wait.
"Master! Your parents and elders are here. I have arranged for them to stay in the front and back yards."
As soon as Qing Lang saw Jiang Youzhen, he immediately stepped forward to report.
"The masters didn't allow me to go to the school to disturb you, saying that you would know when you come back."
"My parents are here?" Jiang Youzhen was stunned at first, then his face was full of joy.
"Yes! I am in the second main courtyard. I have taken the initiative to settle them down temporarily. In addition, I have prepared a room for your grandfather and his family in the outer courtyard, as well as your aunt and her family..."
How could Jiang Youzhen hear what Qing Lang said? She had already strode towards the second courtyard.
After passing through the corridor and entering through the moon gate, we saw Jiang Fugui and his wife sitting at the stone table in the courtyard waiting for us.
"Dad! Mom!" Jiang Youzhen walked over quickly as soon as he saw them.
"Hey! My son!" Shen had already run up, and when she saw Jiang Youzhen, she searched him up and down before she felt relieved.
"Why are you losing weight?" Shen's eyes were full of heartache, and she then complained, "Why are you studying so late at the prefectural school? Have you eaten? It's dark now, you would have eaten by now at home."
"I have eaten. I ate at the teacher's place. The school ends early, but I went to the teacher's place to study for a while longer. Why are you and dad here? Is there something going on at home?"
Jiang Fugui felt sad. His daughter only had her mother in her eyes. She held her mother tightly and refused to let go, so she couldn't see her father.
"Your mother and I just missed you, so we came to see you. You said you'd been away for two months, so why didn't the school have a holiday? It's not too far to go back, so why didn't you come back to see us?"
Jiang Fugui started to complain when he talked about it. His daughter had never been away from home for so long. Before, she would go out to work during the day and come back at night.
Shen turned around and glared at him, "Why? Why don't you come to see her when you think Xiaolang is young? Don't you know how hard it is for her to study? Isn't it tiring to ride back in a carriage? You don't have to study, so why don't you come to see her?"
Jiang Fugui was scolded and touched the back of his head, "Aren't you afraid of disturbing her studies? I heard that the students in the prefectural school are very talented, how can I disturb her?"
Shen snorted coldly, "Aren't you tired after the long journey? Don't listen to your father's nonsense."
"You were clearly complaining at home that Xiaolang didn't come back..." Jiang Fugui felt that he was wronged.
A burst of laughter came, Jiang Youzhen looked up and shouted in surprise: "Third sister? You are here too!"
"What's wrong? I can't come? You are the treasure of the whole family now. If you don't come back to see us, we will have to come to see you."
San Ya looked at Jiang Youzhen and found that he was indeed thinner, but his complexion looked good.
"Don't you know how to take good care of yourself when you are out there? I told you not to be picky about food, but look at how skinny you are."
San Ya stepped forward and saw that Jiang Youzhen's hands were as slender as willow leaves, and she felt a little distressed.
"Your brother is growing taller and studying hard, so he won't gain weight even if he eats a lot."
Jiang Youzhen heard the sound, turned around and saw that it was Jiang Tao and his wife.
"Grandpa and grandma? You guys are here too?"
"It's not just your grandparents, we're here too!" several voices said in unison.
Jiang Youzhen couldn't help but laugh. It was my aunt and her family. The whole family came? The yard was almost full!
Jiang Youzhen didn't listen carefully just now and didn't know that Jiang Tao and his wife were also here.
